Price of Management

“Shorty!”

Julia yells at me as soon as she sees me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was it that good?

“Dead, very! ”

What the hell is that?

Why are you running like that? Why are you staring at me like I'm the enemy?

“Son, why didn't I die? I'm a little more scared than that, so let's get that fist off. Now, good boy... Huff! ”

Rrrrgh!

Julia's slender kick hit my shin. I rolled the floor in pain that seemed to break my leg bones.

Was that fist a trick?! Scary kid!

Julia sits flat on my stomach, her fist raised to the sky.

“Huff, huff! Save me, child! ”

“Kid, don't call me that! Like an old man!”

“Well, yeah. I'm sorry, so don't hit me. ”

“That's not why I'm angry. Anything to say to me today? ”

“What are you, a fortuneteller? How did you know? I have something to tell you. ”

“Do it!”

“Let's get married.”

“Die!”

“Haha, yes. Y-yeah? ”

Phew! Phew! Puck!

Julia started punching me in the face like a hammer with her fist.

“Ahhh! Unh! Stop, stop, stop! Why, why are you hitting me?! Are you so excited that your violent nature is being revealed?! ”

“No one's gonna fall for that, you cheater! ”

“Bar, wind?! ”

What is she talking about?

“I see you've been dating a beautiful princess in the sky all afternoon! Wow, that was one big picture! I was so pleased with everything I was watching that my blood was spilling upside down. ”

“Huff. Did you see that? ”

It was as if he had accidentally seen Princess Serence fly over the region.

But a date? Why is that a date?!

Sure, it's a little misleading, but there was Raell in the backseat! Is there a human being sitting in the back with a third person on a date?

“They are rare guests from the Orient Kingdom, and I brought them here myself. I can't stand the wind. ”

“That's a lie! She's been working hard with the shorty's family since then! ”

“Did you? I'll explain that in detail, so let's just calm down." Anger is no help to the peace of humanity. ”

“Explain in 10 seconds. ”

“10 seconds?! I can't!”

“That's right, then. ”

Phew!

“Queek! The Orient royal family is trying to drag me into the priesthood! ”

You really summarized it in less than 10 seconds. There's nothing a man can't do when he's in crisis.

Julia opened her eyes, surprised by what I said.

“Daryl?! ”

“Yes, but I just saw someone rush to the royal chambers. If we wait, we'll be dragged to the Orient throne! ”

“Then, are you seriously saying that we should get married...? Because of that?”

“Of course!”

“Die!”

Phew! Phew!

“Knng! Knng! ”

Julia hits me with more strength than before. Face, abdomen, and very evenly grooming me.

“It sounds like you have no choice but to get married because you don't want to be dragged to the duck's throne! You don't love me at all? ”

“I love you! I've been thinking a lot about the duc kingdom. I would have said no if I didn't love you! ”

“Lies!”

“It's true! Let's see, Noum! ”

-Yeah.

The gnome protrudes from the ground.

“We had a deep conversation earlier about the marriage, right? ”

- Yeah, he needs to get married.

“Right? Then explain my sincerity to Julia. He's an unbeliever. He doesn't trust me. ”

- Yeah, Dad.

Norm stares at Julia with a sparkling eye.

Faced with her innocent, innocent eyes, the look of her anger gradually fades from her expression.

As expected, our cute gnome contributes to the peace of humankind itself.

Norm told Julia.

- He's a cheater.

“Did you hear that? I'm the wind... Huh? ”

Memories that touch the brain momentarily.

You want to marry me twice?

- Dad, what's a cheater?

Oh, my gosh!

“You're dead! ”

Julia pounds at me like the spirit of the Berserker is possessed.

The misunderstanding had to be explained after a long time.

“Well, it takes a little sheath. ”

Julia seemed to have convinced me of my suffering. He would, too. He and Julia have expressed a lot of affection for me over the years.

“Hmmm... ”

“Why are you so powerless? ”

You hit me!

The rest of me was so right, I was already full of shit.

When I saw myself through the senses of gnome, everyone saw me stretched out in a Yeti coat to fit my tongue.

“Anyway, this proposal is off. ”

“What? Why? ”

Julia says it's fascinating.

“You don't even know romance? There is no one who proposes like an excuse while he's being beaten! Get a ring and do it again! ”

“Romance. What are you talking about? You don't fit in at all. The right word for you is cash, fast rope, silicism, realism. ”

“Do you want to get hit again? ”

“Sorry……. ”

“Anyway, get your proposition ready and try again. You won't be able to enter the house until then! ”

Then Julia swoops back and leaves.

“ ……. ”

- Dad, are you okay?

“Norm.”

- Yeah, Dad.

“Marriage is easy, I guess. ”

- Come on, Dad.

“Yes, it is.”

I stroked his head. Bashi smiled and comforted me at least.

Anyway, I have to get married before the Orient Kingdom does anything.

I never thought I'd get married like this, but whatever. I want it to be what it is. Whatever you live in, your family problems will be better than your past life.

...... Let's go buy a ring or something.

You have to propose to her the way you want. It creates quite a romantic atmosphere.

You have to buy her something expensive.

I have to at least show in good faith that I'm not proposing.

However, we do not sell precious metals in poor regions such as Kunt territory here.

Of course, if you ask Old Gus, he'll make you a Misrilled Ring, but he's a blacksmith, not a jeweler.

I thought I'd have to go to the big estate and get something expensive.

The sooner we act, the better. We need to get rid of those Orion royal raccoons before they do anything about it.

Before I left the banquet hall, I decided to ask Arthur for his forgiveness.

But like Julia said, Princess Serence was with our family.

I didn't know this until now, but it really seemed like she was trying to win my heart.

There was a reason for everything from the first meeting to being friendly like a friend.

Not only does she have spiritual affinity, she also wanted my relationship to be close from the beginning.

I told Arthur.

“Sir, I'm in a bit of a hurry. I have to go somewhere. Will it be okay?”

Arthur made a curious face.

“Yes. I don't care, but what's going on? ”

“It's personal for me. We'll explain later. ”

“When are you coming back? ”

“I won't be back until after the banquet. ”

Arthur looked at my face for a moment and gently nodded.

“Yes, I think it's really important. But I don't think that's a bad thing, so don't ask me anymore. Have a nice day. ”

It was Arthur who was quick to notice.

“I'll be back then. ”

“Yes."

It was then.

“Baron Kunt! Where are you going?”

Princess Serence asked me a question with a surprised face. I felt hot inside, facing her.

Although she approached it with a political purpose, Princess Serence was never such an infamous woman who hid her insides and seduced men with lies. Besides,

“When are you coming back? ”

It breaks my heart to see her face buried with such a sad face.

Her heart was not a lie.

Her love for me was genuine. Otherwise, you can't show such a sunny face. Unless she's a big, fat liar.

It made me uncomfortable to turn away from her like that.

“I have urgent business to attend to, and I must leave immediately." ”

“So you're not coming back until after the banquet? ”

“Yes.”

“Ah. What should I do? I'm so disappointed that we broke up like this. ”

“I see. But it can't be. We have to wait for the next opportunity. ”

“Next…… ”

“Yes. We'll see each other again if we're meant to be. ”

“ ……. ”

It breaks my heart to see her face sank down. She was so beautiful, I had no choice but to shake my heart without knowing it.

But I can't help it.

I don't want to be a Durian royal Daryl.

If I could live with myself for the rest of my life, I'd be at odds, but I don't think that Orion King's gonna let me play. Maybe he's just trying to choke himself to death.

“Ah! Court, I have to give it back. One moment, please."

Princess Serence summoned Rael.

“Your coat, please, Lord Raell. ”

“Yes.”

In the end, it was only after Raell returned the Red Misrill Coat that I was able to free myself from this Yeti Coat.

I returned the Yeti coat to Raell.

“Well, have a good time. ”

“May I ask what business you're in? ”

When Raell asked me, I laughed.

“Well, let's just say it's a secret. ”

“Secret.... I see.”

We looked into each other's eyes for a moment.

I can clearly see inside him trying to figure out what I'm thinking.

Where do you think he's going? Perhaps we've been made aware of our intentions? Well, you'd be thinking,

Tsk, tsk, kid. You're too young to deal with me, genius.

I left the mansion, leaving Raell behind.

“Noum.”

- Yeah, I got it.

The wrath that read my heart immediately made me a rocking chair made of dirt.

When I sat down, the rocking chair came to my mind.
