CH 11

“Um… so god, what am I supposed to do?”

“So, here’s the thing. I want you to help this boy score a wife.”

“…what?”

“Huh? It’ll be a problem if you start losing your hearing at your age, you know? Anyway, I said I want you to help this here Jerome find a wife.”

Apparently, I didn’t hear it wrong. Why is god making me help a wyvern lord get married?

“That’s because if Jerome and his beloved Melissa have a kid, with my blessings, the kid would have the potential to become a Sky Dragon.

“Um. I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Oh, I see. You don’t know much about this sort of thing, do you, Allen? Well, it’s a long story so… ah well, whatever. I’ll give you my blessing if you help Jerome and Melissa get a little lovin’. How’s that?”

What should I do..?

Anyway, I don’t think it’s a bad deal.

“Okay. I’ll give it a shot.”

“I knew if it was you, you’d definitely agree. You know, I was just about to leave the『Book of the Wind God』here and go home because it was getting annoying, but thankfully you came! Now this’ll be a perfect way to kill time.”

Hmm? Didn’t this guy say something really irresponsible just now?

“A-a-a-adden…”

Jerome bit his tongue when he tried to speak. Wow, I’m supposed to help this guy, huh?

“All right, all right. I’ll help you in any way I can. So, what’s this Melissa girl like?

….

Jerome, you’re squirming.

Show some backbone, will you? Aren’t you a man?

“Hmm. Let me show you.”

As God said this, a screen appeared in front of me. In it was a lone white wyvern lord flying gracefully in the sky. It had a familiar ribbon wrapped around its tail.

Oh, so this really was how it was.

I entered the scenario too early. I’m sure that if I hadn’t come at this point, the God of Wind will have gotten bored and left the『Book of the Wind God』in this temple and returned to the divine realm.

But Jerome will do his best to win Melissa anyway, and become a married couple. And when they had just become husband and wife, had a child, and were about to reach the peak of their happiness, was when Amy and the others came in and destroyed everything.

Yeah, that’s rough, buddy.

“Hm? Allen, why do you think of the future as a fact? Well, that’s okay, Allen, you’ve already promised to help, so you can’t wait for me to go away, okay? Don’t worry, if you don’t help and run away, I’ll send you to hell in a heartbeat.”

“Oh. That’s not reassuring at all.”

Okay, let’s think of something else.

“Alright, then let’s start the strategy meeting. A great strategist once said, ‘If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles’. So let’s start by getting to know her. So Jerome, tell me about Melissa”

Jerome, you’re squirming.

I want to punch this guy. He’s seriously driving me crazy.

“You won’t be able to do anything at this rate! Hurry up and spit it out!”

“I-I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you… Don’t be so angry.”

“Okay, tell me everything you know.”

“Y-yes. Melissa is a white wyvern girl with a trademark stylish bow t-tied around her tail. She’s very pretty…”

“And then? What what does she like?”

Jerome, you look troubled.

“Wait, have you even talked to her?”

Jerome, you’re sweating.

“Then aren’t you just some stranger to her? I mean, honestly, aren’t you just some stalker?”

Jerome, you look shocked.

“Haaa… alright then, we’ll start by saying hello and getting to know her a bit more.”

Jerome you’re squirming.

“Is. That. Clear?”

“H-hiiiii”

****.

We got God to take us closer to where Melissa was resting her wings.

“Okay, you got this. First greet her like this: ‘Hello. My name is Jerome. That’s a nice and stylish ribbon. May I sit next to you?’ And then you talk to her. Then while you’re talking to her, randomly ask her about her hobbies and favorite food and whatnot, and then you compliment her on it and after awhile, ask her if she wants to go out with you sometime. Go on, you can do this.”

Jerome flaps his huge body into the air and flies to Melissa.

I watch Melissa from a distance with God.

Jerome landed at Melissa’s side and he shuffles on closer to her.

Melissa raises her head and glances at Jerome.

“Who the hell are you? You want something?”

“H-h-h-he…”

Melissa made a face like she was looking at trash and then she just flew away.

******

“All right, so here’s our next move. If you can’t talk to her, then let’s give her a gift. What’s something wyvern girls like?”

“Yeah, yeah, uh, uh, uh, meat?”

“All right, let’s go with that. Are you ready?”

“Y-y-yes!”

Then Jerome flew off into the distance.

And so here I was with god, watching Melissa from a distance.

After a while, Jerome, with blood all over his face, flew in with a huge worm in his mouth.

As soon as Melissa saw Jerome, she let out a scream and flew away.

******

‘Okay, if you can’t talk or give a gift, you’ll have wow her with fashion. What do wyvern girls think looks cool?”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, um, um, a crown of flowers?”

“Well, if you say so. Let’s go with that. Are you ready?”

“Y-y-yes!”

And so Jerome flew off into the distance.

And so here I was with god, watching Melissa from a distance.

After a while, some kind of huge clump of trees and grass comes flying by.

When that strange object landed on Melissa’s side, she let out a scream and flew away.
