... managed to escape...

No, I was alone with the Marquis during the reception of House Bozes, but the story was cut off when Iris and Beatrice came back.

It was impossible for the Marquis to force a woman from another family to say her age in front of Master Iris and Beatrice, even after the two of them had spoken.

... thank you...

However, I will be able to tell Master Iris that I am an adult at the same time as I go home.

When that happens, the party becomes a reality.

And if the organizer is the marquis, it is also the marquis who selects the invitees.

... I'm scared of what kind of arbitrary selection is going to take place!

"But, what kind of party are you really planning on having..."

There is no possibility of a party to choose a fiancée.

Based on the political situation in this country, I don't think that the Marquis of Boses is going to let me go to another house. Of course, marrying abroad is out of the question.

You'll need me and the people I brought in to build big ships, rifle cannons and howitzers, mini-air or rear-loading rifles, boat gear and tools, and much more.

Without an interpreter who speaks the language of the new continent and knows the technical terms related to shipbuilding, it would be a problem if something went wrong.

So, as a marquis, of course, other countries, other factions, and even those of the same faction, shouldn't want to get young men close to me.

No, in the first place, no matter how much the Marquis is my guardian, since I am the head of an independent noble family, there is no way that the Marquis of Boses can decide on his own or force me to get engaged, right?

Such interference with other nobles' houses is ultra vires.

If you find out I'm an adult, you don't need a guardian, do you?

And then, when I had to, the king said, "I'm in trouble because I was forced to do things on my own against the Viscount Yamano family. If you ask me to remove me from my guardianship, I will manage.

Besides, if I ask for help, the nobles of the other factions will accuse the House of Bozess and move to defend me. It's a pattern that the Marquis of Boses feared before.

No, I don't want to quarrel with the Marquis of Boses.

But if you're forced to marry unintentionally, that's fine.

Will a nobleman's daughter marry for her own family, not her own?

No, it means' follow the parents' judgment '.

... and I am the patriarch of the Yamano family, not the Marquis of Bose.

Yeah, my engagement or marriage is up to me, the head of the family. Even as a custom in this country, that is what it should be.

... what is the Marquis of Boses planning to throw a party for in the first place?

One of them.

To make it widely known that I still don't have the will to get engaged, not to get married.

Ah, of course, I won't publicly announce that I'm already of age, Marquis...

Two of them.

Someone put up a hit horse (dummy), made me think I already had an opponent, and made me give up.

... However, as the Marquis said, if you break up or dissolve your engagement later, you may be injured by your name and family name.

This seems to do a lot of damage to me, especially if I'm a woman... "

Part three.

In some way, it makes everyone think they don't want to marry me.

The second and third disadvantage is that after several years, when I think that it is time for me to get married, there is no one to marry.

... no good, that's...

No, not in this world, but on Earth. Doesn't it matter?

"Mmmmm..."



What a sole!

Sabine-chan, I'm so excited.

Mitsuha-sama is supposed to marry oniisama or Ruhen!!

"No, I've never heard of it!" In the first place, I've never had a busy conversation with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! "

"... then, with Ruhen!" When that happens, I'm your sister, and Mitsuha-sama's your sister..... "

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!"

As Sabine was lying down about my age, she was tickled by the fact that the Marquis of Boses was going to force her to do something about my engagement. As a result, she jumped in a strange direction.

No, I thought Sabine would definitely disagree with my engagement or marriage...

The Marquis of Boses was weak against the King, and the King was weak against Sabine.

Here, in the game, "Sabine is weaker than the Marquis of Boses", but in reality, Sabine is stronger than the Marquis of Boses.

... which means Sabine is an invincible card.

So naturally, when I tried to take Sabine-chan as an ally, this was it.

"No, for now, it's not raw (slut). For now, I just want you to crush this engagement story!"

That's all I'm expecting from Sabine right now.

"By the way..."

"Ah, this expression of Sabine-chan and how she talks..."

This is so annoying!

Sister Mitsuha, how old are you now?

"Eek!"

You know that, don't you!

... yes, there's no reason Sabine-san didn't notice that even the Marquis of Boses had noticed!

"When I first met you, I was about 15 to 16 centimeters shorter..." And now..... "

Sabine is placing her hand on my head.

"Sabine-chan is a little smaller than the average height of her age..."

"Right now, I'm just about to catch up..."

That means..... "

Ahhhhhhhh!!

"Sister Mitsuha hasn't grown at all since then.... so even when I first met you, it's possible that you weren't the age you seemed to be..."

"Gib! Gib!! I'm a woman, so let's not talk about age!" NG word designation!! "

She shook her hand and interrupted Sabine's words.

"But..."

"... Actually, I'm already about 300 years old..."

"Are you a witch or an elf?!" And then, Sabine-chan!! "
