Chapter 42 - Party

The next day

「Hero Ritone Shylock-dono. I am truly thankful that you have rescued my family.」

The whole «Copper Rank» Lilliput Family, solemnly expressed their words of grat.i.tude.

They were in a party hall to welcome Ritone and the girls.

「Thank you!」

「We survived because of you!」

A retainer and the «Copper Rank» Family who were attacked by Tsuchigumo spoke their words of grat.i.tude.

Ritone smiled at them while feeling embarra.s.sed.

「No, I did no such great thing. This was achieved through everyone’s combined efforts.」

「Mn... As expected, taking a modest approach worthy of a hero indeed. I like it. If there is anything you wish for. We will do whatever it takes to grant it.」

It is said that the «Copper Rank» Lilliput would like to reward Ritone.

「Then, I will accept this kind offer, I only have one [request]...」

「Mn.」

All the members listened attentively to what Ritone desired.

「Can I not ask for Littlette-san to be my fiancé, please?」

「Fuee!」

Littlette who was drinking juice near Ritone, reflexively jumped up.

「!? What do you mean! Me, fiancé!?」

On the opposite side, Nady raised her eyes.

「No, this, is about being the second wife...」

「Idiot!」

Nady slapped Ritone with all her strength.

「Y-you see Ritone-kun. Even though I look like this, I’m actually in fact over 20 years old, as far as being your older sister, I may have crossed that line a little already...」

Littlette who was blus.h.i.+ng bashfully gave an explanation, which was erased by the cheers which arose in the party hall.

「A hero has proposed to the young lady!」

「It's a perfect match!」

「Future blessings to the couple!」
