Chapter 131: Luna-san’s marriage interview Part 1
Translator: “Pink Tea” Editor: ”Weasalopes”
After making peace with my little sister I welcod Sunday morning.
Though it’s a holiday, I don’t have to spend it in leisure.
I diligently train with a sword in the yard.
Though I often strengthen myself using the ability I got from Master, recently I acquired a skill on my own.
It’s【Swordsmanship C】.
Since I kept swinging a sword, the skill finally beca my own.
On the other hand, this also ans that weapon-type skills can’t be obtained unless you work at least this hard.
It’s a good example of just how powerful 【Create】 is.
I can’t help but respect the powerful allies that I’ve t so far. Normally, you can’t get stronger overnight.
I myself can sense that my swordsmanship beca sharper. I’d like to keep improving it on my own.
I want to have at least sothing where I can pour actual effort.
And so nuances can’t be covered with skills alone.
Even so, I surely will have to fight on the 13th floor, so I acquire 【Front step enhancent】 and 【Side step enhancent】.
It’s effective in close combat and can also co in useful during an escape.
300 LP and 200 LP for a total of 500 LP spent.
「Onii-sama, Laura-san and Luna-san ca.」
「Yes, I’ll be ready in a mont.」
Changing from the sweat-drenched clothes I head to the front door.
There stood Laura-san, that appeared no different from usual, and a bit disheartened Luna-san.
「Goood moorning. Noir-san is as cute as always.」
「I’ll do my best to be called cool instead.」
「Oh, but you are cool.」
Laura-san is good at flattering n. As expected of the popular receptionist.
It seems that recently her performance as a receptionist was evaluated as the top one. The adventurers for whom she is in charge are desperately doing their best to see her delighted expression.
But the main part today belongs to Luna-san.
「Are you nervous?」
「Y-yes. I’m not good with stuff like marriage interviews.」
「We will support you. Let’s go.」
Support.
Helping to make this eting go wellーー Is totally not what we were going to do. On the contrary, we are going to ruin this whole thing to the best of our ability.
She rely accepted it because she couldn’t refuse the person to whom she felt indebted.
The three of us headed to the eting place.
The eting is at eleven o’clock in front of a noble exclusive restaurant.
We arrived pretty early.
「Even nobles have to make an appointnt in advance to get in here. Let’s eat to our heart’s content today!」
Laura-san linked arms with . She is very excited.
「You mustn’t. Don’t forget the original goal. We have to make them understand just how hopeless is Luna-san.」
「Haa…… That hurts my consciousness in its own way.」
「We just have to tell a made-up story.」
Yes, for the sake of this day we rehearsed a lot with Laura-san.
We had a lot of debates on the type of behavior that will leave a man disillusioned.
Precisely at eleven o’clock. A carriage runs through the middle of the street.
As it stopped in front of the restaurant, two n exited it. One is a middle-aged man in his pri.
The other one is sowhere in the middle of his twenties.
The well dressed mature man now stood in front of , observing from head to toe.
That assessing gaze was indeed the very definition of a rchant. He soon focused his gaze on Luna-san.
「So you are Luna Healer?」
When she confird, the man, who resembled the son in question, ran up to her, raising a weird voice.
「Oooooooh! It’s an elf! She has pointy ears! 」
His excitent was abnormal. About 30 tis he jumped on that spot.
To be honest. His movents are scary.
But by no ans he can be called bad-looking. His face wasn’t bad and he also wasn’t fat.
With him being rich on top of that, there should be more than plenty of won that would be interested in him.
「I’m Jonathan. One of the founders of Torill company. Here is my son Sopan.」
「Sopan here. Best regards. That aside, let’s not stand here like beggars and get inside. Honored Papa, let’s get inside with everyone.」
Honored Papa?!
I almost choked, trying not to laugh, hearing such a power word.
Looking beside , Laura-san also was twitching while hiding her nose.
…We are absolutely not allowed to laugh here.
I pinch my own butt. Laura-san coped by stopping her breath.
「Mghuugh……」
Please, don’t hold it until your eyes start rolling back.
「What are you doing?」
「No-nothing, honora…… Jonathan-sama!」
I almost called him honored Papa as well. This is infectious.
With our serious mood being sowhat killed we enter the store. Workers, who appeared to have so class, guided us to the room.
In the room stood a long ti with nothing but drinks on it.
I guess the cooking will be carried in from now on.
We take seats on opposite sides of the table. Ugh, what the hell I’m doing, getting all nervous.
「I think you already heard of it, but my son is currently searching for a wife.」
「Honored Papa! This is my marriage interview. Let handle this!」
「In-indeed. Then I’ll keep quiet.」
Looks like Sopan-san is very passionate about the whole thing. In high and proud spirits he began his introduction.
「I, Sopan, am looking for an obedient and pious wife! The conditions are for her to remain beautiful forever, and keep loving .」
His extre honesty left Luna-san startled.
Moreover, though no one asked him, he began speaking of his personal history.
From fifteen he began working as a rchant, and it seems that by now he is earning quite a bit.
So he is appealing to his wealth, trying to sway Luna-san.
「Luna-san. Since you are serving as a saintess, there shouldn’t be any problem with your personality. You are also beautiful. And since you are half-elf you aren’t going to age. You are perfect.」
「I’m sorry to say this, but elves age as well. It just takes them longer to change in appearance.」
「As long as I’m alive you should be able to stay beautiful!」
He is probably correct.
As people say, if one has the blood of the elves, they should be able to pass as twenty years old even after a hundred years.
Since Luna-san looked annoyed, Luna-san and I sprung to action.
「Nee-sama? Obedient? You can’t possibly an this sister of mine……」
「I also can’t believe that the word pious can be applied to onee-sama. Only yesterday she spent the whole evening bullying and Noir.」
Sopan and his father froze for a mont.
We keep going.
「Ah, Noir, don’t you dare say anything more. It’s her marriage interview.」
「But you know, it’s also important for them to know the real sister. At ho, she does nothing but eat and sleep. And n also just keep coming and going.」
「n you said?! Noir-kun, what do you an by that?」
This part bothered the father a lot more than Sopan.
Thus, I keep talking nonsense.
That so thug-looking n keep coming with tons of herbs and are doing sothing suspicious in nee-sama’s room.
And that drunk alcoholics from the neighborhood are visiting her as well.
Then I finished by saying that even a man from a wanted poster ca once.
As expected, this was enough to change in color not only the father but even Sopan.
「Luna, san. Is that true?」
「We-well, there are reasons for that.」
Luna-san isn’t cut to be an actor. To be frank, calling her a ham actor would be fair.
However, this ti it, on the contrary, was even more effective. The other side took it as being shaken with panic.
「Nee-sama, I said sothing unnecessary. I apologize. So please, don’t shoot after this.」
「SHOOT?! Don’t tell that is she using that magic gun to shoot her brother?」
Replying to Sopan, who was gaping in amazent, I tried to make a sorrowful expression.
「She does, but she always uses 【Healing Shot】to heal afterward. So the wounds get fixed. Nee-sama only likes to see people suffer.」
Here, Laura-san put her hand to my mouth.
As if telling not to say anything unnecessary again.
