"And anyway."

I cough one up and then blame Wenus.

"Suddenly be a man's daughter-in-law, or are you an asshole? Aria and I just met."

"Azuma is not your Lord! I don't care what your daughter thinks, she's in love with your Lord!

"What?"

What are you talking about again, you porn sword?

I can't believe this beautiful girl is talking about an old man like me.

"~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"

Aria was turning her face bright red.

"... aria?

Turning away from me to escape my gaze, I'm moaning in some kind of speechless voice, like, uh, uh-huh.

It's just not like her usual fortitude.

You look very upset.

Well, but you don't say you're ashamed of being told the truth.

That's right.

There's no way a beautiful girl like her can fall in love with an old man like this.

Instead, he may be so angry that his face turns red.

... Yeah, that's more than likely.

Hey, apologize to Aria, you porn sword.

'Really, the guy named Lord... You're a little underrated, aren't you?

I'm going to know exactly where I am.

'Ha... Why is the Lord chosen as my user the biggest neck... You like your daughter, don't you, Lord?

Idiot.

I don't know how you feel about a kid so far apart.

What's the difference in age? It doesn't matter how old you are before the love of a man and a woman! Don't get caught up in values that don't matter!

The anger of Wenus echoes.

"... No, I'd rather have my daughter try her best here than say this to the Lord"

Then the voice of Wenus interrupts.

Apparently, he's only speaking to Aria.

This is weird, isn't it?

◇ ◇ ◇

'That's the only way to shoot the heart of your intended opponent! That is, "So, bye!"

Dating......?

Aria tilts her little neck and rebuts the word in her heart.

"What, Lord, have you never said," So? No, that's okay. It's more of a beginnings! As long as it starts, you can throw him a round and lead him later. All right, then we'll get ready fast! Let's start with the clothes!

And to be pushed half way through, Aria will get ready for the date.

"Ho, does this really work...?

"Rest assured. Kuku, at the end of the day, I used the array... '

"What's that?

"- Alcohol!

Alcohol......?

◇ ◇ ◇

"Sorry, wait?

"Oh, oh... right. For about two hours..."

In front of the clockstand in the central square of Wangdu.

I was waiting there because I needed to get ready.

"Holy shit! Do you have the one to keep answering! That's what a man is to say he just got here!

I mean, you're the one who told me to wait here, right?

"What... that outfit...?

That's where I realize Aria's outfit is changing.

Until now, I have always worn clothes that are not very beautiful to flatter.

But now, although she can never say it's fashionable, she was dressed in decent clothes like a girl of her age. Urban, slightly tarnished corset skirt.

It suits me well.

Or I think it's so cute.

"What do you think...?

"Tell me you're cute! Tell her she's cute and she wants to cuddle and kiss me right now!

You shut up.

"Oh, I think it's great.... you bought a new one?

"Ugh, yeah. He said he absolutely needed Wenus. He was so loud, he used the money he was accumulating to buy the sword... Even so, I can't even afford a new one, and I looked in an old clothes store..."

Doesn't look like old clothes.

No, if you look closely, it can be solved by the way......

Perhaps it's mostly the person wearing them who looks better than the clothes.

Of course she's beautiful, but she's elegant, she's gorgeous, and besides she's got good style, so that would just look cute in some decent clothes.

It has already received attention from people in the square.

And naturally, I'm not the one dressed like that.

Besides, you're an old, separated old man.

Still, what are you going to do now?

The Wenus guy told me I was waiting here...

When I had such doubts, I accidentally touched something soft on my left hand.

Aria suddenly shook my hand.

……

She asks me if I can't help it.

"... can I hold hands?

"Oh, oh."

I mean, you're already connected, right?

I'll just snort, giggle, and.

Hold my hand tight, but you're embarrassed by it, you're blushing and leaning a little.

"... what are you going to do now?

"So, date"

I'm confused by the answer I gave you.

A date? What's a date?

No, no, he said he knew about the date.

But I'm almost forty old men now.

How many years ago was the last time I had a date?

For the first time in ten years? Could have been a long time ago.

"Why with me?

"... with me, no...?

There's no way anyone can say they don't like it when they ask me about my anxious ascendancy.

"I don't hate you..."

"So... will you date me?

I had to snort.
