Chapter 260 (2/2)

“And that’s why I absolutely definitely really really have to marry Kehma-sama Kuro-chaaa… Kuroinu-sama carried me in her arms, so…? K-Kehma-sama has to take responsibility as her master”

“Oh, about that… Kuroinu-dono will be taking his place as your fiance”

“… Eh?”

Mai inclined her head to the side

“During o, we decided that Kuroinu-dono will be your fiance”

“… I-isn’t she a girl though!?”

Oh, I haven’t taught Mai about the sa yet, have I? Maybe I postponed her education a bit too much

“It was Kehma-dono’s recommendation Also, you shouldn’t treat Kuroinu-dono as a woman”

“Eh, K-Kuro-chan is a cross dresser!?”

“Huh? … W-well, yeah, soh to insist she were male, so I understand that it’s probably better to treat her as such

“… I’ll go talk to Keh about it directly fro that, Mai ran out of the room

She’s still a child, isn’t she… I think that Kehma-dono should be able to persuade her, but let’s hope that this doesn’t cause hih, I’ve already given him his reward

Later on, Kuroinu-dono escorted her to dinner It one well

That said, my second son, Jitter, raised his voice

“Hold up, that one’s a slave! And a girl at that! There’s no reason for someone with such an idiotic name as Meat to be Mai’s fiance!”

crap, Jitter hasn’t been taught about sah Waltz just smiled wryly

There’s no other choice than to have Kuroinu-dono show her skill, forcing hiht that Jitter would be able to win against Kuroinu-dono… but even as soh to toy around with Rondeau, I couldn’t see through her at all withtold thebreakfast, Kehma-dono didn’t co my work after the meal that we discovered what had occurred

“Lord-sa that a ventulier passed through the gate”

“Hmm… wait, was it Kuroinu-dono!?”

We receive reports froh it We would receive notifications right away for aristocrats passing through the gate outside of normal hours, but it’s not like that for when an ventulier does so

After all, they often need to use the gate at night for adventurer purposes

“crap…”

Kehle note placed atop the beddings they’d used

The note had on it as follows:

[It’s hard to sleep under surveillance, so I’ll be returning to e You may freely use the name of Meat Kuroinu for one month If she herself absolutely has to, contact e]

Geh! … So he realized he was being watched froanything—wait, I think I heard hi his authority as a ventulier could be his way of telling us he’s off

At any rate, I’m allowed to use Kuroinu-dono’s na

… In other words, what he was really saying…

[If you can cohter to marry yours] …!

Pheonderful love for his daughter! I can already i alcohol next to Kehma-dono as atch the two of theet the [Futanaru]”

But this’ll probably cause a dispute over where the two live

… Would the nor each of them to live away from us parents?

Hmm, well, that’ll be up to Mai and Kuroinu-dono to decide
