Chapter 337: Greatest Alchemist? Chapter 337 Unexpected Development「Speaking of which, Iruma-dono, about Miss Sophia and Miss Maria. When are you getting married?」

「Eh?」

After discussions about the Soma were done, His Majesty suddenly talked about that. I was surprised that he even knew about Sophia and Maria, and I was even more surprised when he talked about marriage.

「Hm? You haven’t gotten married yet? If I remember correctly, there’s one more, Marnie, wasn’t there?」

「Hou, Iruma-dono had three lovers?」

And like a follow up blow, Margrave Volton and Earl Rockford grinned and teased.

「To be brutally honest, I want you to marry at least one person from Valkyra Kingdom’s noble families.」

「N-no, Your Majesty, I am a commoner.」

An enclosing remark about marriage flew in from His Majesty.

Why did the topic of my marriage come up from His Majesty? When I asked properly, there were apparently many inquiries from domestic and foreign nobles.

My base of operations was in Volton City, but I’ve also been absent from that one recently.

I’ve been in the Sanctuary mansion, the newly built Sky Island base, and the Demon Continent base the most these days, and even things like the delivery of goods to the Papeck Company had been all left to Laeva as of late.

I see, it was hard to make an appointment with me.

At the same time, rather than lower nobles such as barons, one would have to be at least a relative of the Margraves or Earls to be married to me.

「Iruma-dono, you had been an adult for a number of years as well, so it isn’t “too early” to be married anymore.」

「Yeah, Iruma-dono, you will soon be 20, no? You’re late in getting married.」

Since even Margrave Volton and Earl Rockford were teasing, I grew red in the face from embarrassment.

「......do even commoners hold wedding ceremonies?」

「Ah, Iruma-dono, you were from a remote village. Border villages might not have had the complacency to do so, but in the villages and city in the Volton Margravery, even commoners hold banquets. To say nothing of your marriage, Iruma-dono, it would not be meager.」

「Eh!? M-marriage......」

「A marriage, I would marry Takumi-sama......」

「............」

「Oh my, Margrave Volton sure did it. If it was just you, you would be eternally indecisive, so isn’t this just perfect?」

When the word “marriage” escaped my lips, Sophia and Maria turned strange, and Marnie reddened and cast her eyes downward.

In contrast, Akane nodded her head as if saying “finally”.

「Fufufufufu, okay! Let’s make it as showy as possible!」

「Showy nya!」

「Yaaay! Marriage!」

Akane stood up energetically and clenched her fists with all her might as she declared so. Beside her, Lulu-chan shouted “Ohhh!” and tossed her fists up. I don’t think Kaede really understood it, but she was celebrating.

「W-wait, Akane, what do you mean showy......」

「Give up! You’re already acquainted with senior statesmen and rulers from various countries. Also, you’re connected to the Papeck Company and Adventurers Guild, the Sanctuary and the various nations in the Demon Continent, and even the Great Spirits would want to celebrate it. You can’t just have a small, plain wedding!」

「Ugh, e-even if you say that......」

「Leave it to me! We’ll shoot up some flashy fireworks!」

Seeing Akane’s nose flare as she spoke in absolute confidence to leave it to her, I could only worry. When I glanced over at Sophia, Maria, and Marnie, the three seemed happy as they fidgeted.

Ahh, seriously, I can’t stop it anymore. Even though it should have been about me too.........
