Book 9: Chapter 11

Apology, and then

Lielle, I

Luke, youre so cool!

Yup, thats right what?

Thank you for protecting me! You looked like a knight!

Lielles eyes were sparkling as she gazed at me.

So adorable.

Ah, youre not angry?

that you kissed another girl aside from me? Of course Im mad! Youve never even kissed me before, so why are you kissing another girl, huh!?

S-Sorry

K-Kiss me too!

Eh!? R-right here!?

you did just fine at the store, right.

Lielle held out her hand towards me.

Ahh so thats what it wasThê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

So shes fine with the back of hand, huh.

I was flustered, thinking shes asking for a kiss on the lips.

A lot of curious onlookers had gathered around us because of the fuss earlier with Nards group..

Its too embarrassing to kiss her on the lips in front of all these people.

If shes okay with the back of the hand, then

Ojou-sama.

I bended my knee and took her hand.

She told me that I looked cool, just like a knight, when I protected her.

Thats why Id be her knight for now.

I pledge my loyalty to you, Ojou-sama.

The dozens of onlookers loudly cheered.

Lielles face turned scarlet, but she didnt seem like shes totally convinced.

***

A lot happened back then, so things had been pretty much unsettled, but its unforgivable to kiss any other girl right in front of LielleIm really sorry.

Even if its not before me, I still hate it.

Y-Yeah, youre right. Sor Bft!

I was about to apologize again, but Lielle pinched my cheeks.

Luke, youre so serious.She chuckled before releasing me.

She then gently stroked my cheeks that were smarting after being pulled. She was apparently casting a bit of healing, and the pain disapppeared.

You didnt kiss any other girl apart from that time, right?

Of course!!

Its a ring I made by processing a rare type of ore called swearstone.

It might pale in comparison to the scarletite ring that Halt gifted Teacher Tina, but regardless, this ring is still considered as one of the best magical tule in this world.

I vowed on this swearstone that I would make Lielle happy before turning it into this ring.

Tears spilled from Lielles eyes as she gazed at the ring.

If I accept this, Luke will experience a lot of hardships, you know?

Lielle didnt talk much about her family, so I had a vague idea, more or less.

If shes a young noble miss from an aristocratic family, then the head of her family would probably oppose her marriage to a mere human like me.

But still, my best friend Halt brushed aside the ministers of this kingdom and married Teacher Tina, the heroine of this country.

That guyss basically a walking cheat and a Bakemono, but Im also a Sage Apprentice.

Ive prepared myself to do anything in order to be with the girl I love.

Lielle, if you accept, I will devote my entire life to protect you. No matter what hardship it is, I will definitely break through if it means I will be with you.

I stared straight into her eyes and vowed.

Let me repeat it again. Lielle, please marry me.Yes.

She offered her left hand to me.

I slipped the ring to her left ring finger.

Whooooaaaa!!!!

Yeheeeeeyyyyyy!!!!

I also have my own Elf bride!!!!

I embraced Lielle with all my strength.

Luke, Im in your care from now on, please treat me well.

Yeah! I will give my all to make Lielle happy!!

Lets go greet Father tomorrow?

Ohh, thats quite sudden.

But its fine, Im prepared.

Got it. Lets go.

Thank you so much. Sorry for keeping mum about it until now. My name is

Lielle pulled away from me, keeping a bit of distance between us, before dropping an unimaginable bomb on me.

Lielle Alheim.

H, HehAlheim, huh.

Yup.

Its one of the possibilities that I thought of.

I see now.

Ill be Halts brother-in-law, huh.
