Chapter 95: Studying Abroad (2/2)

“……Understood! I, Meiya Dragoon, shall show my resolve and aim to become Lute-sama’s wife!”

The two of them ignored me, the concerned person, and advanced the talk without my say.

Still, just what was that “resolve” they were talking about?

With that, I obtained permission to marry Lyss from her father, the king.

She seemed to have talked with him beforehand, as the talk with the king advanced smoothly.

In order to avoid criticism for the time being, Lyss’ official stance was to “accompany us to broaden her knowledge,” or something like that. Usually, it was customary for High Elves who were studying abroad to wear a pendant that changed the color of their eyes, to avoid needless confusion in the surroundings.

Although she wasn’t wearing it to avoid the prying eyes of the public right now, I handed her a wedding bracelet made from Magical Liquid Metal, similar to what Snow and Chrisse had.

Of course, the article was made by yours truly.

Although the bracelet had no magic stones embedded in it, Lyss held the bracelet dearly while shedding tears.

If the person I gave it to was happy, then I was happy too.

However, the problem lied with her little sister, Luna.

I hadn’t told her that Lyss and I were married yet.

She still believed the notion of her elder sister studying abroad to broaden her view.

So that she would not have to separate from Chrisse, who she had gotten along well with, she started insisting on studying abroad too.

Lyss clears her throat and persuades her younger sister, her face still red.

“I have said many times before, in order to expand my knowledge, and because Shia is Lute-san’s slave, we have to go together. Meaning we are not going out to play.”

“In that case, then Luna will also become Luton’s slave!”

“Luna! Don’t say such a stupid thing!”

Lyss scolded her like an older sister but that didn’t stop Luna from sulking.

After hearing their voices, Snow and Chrisse appeared.

The two had been carrying baggage to their private rooms on the airship and should finished up just now. Coming here probably meant that they were done with their work.

Chris was holding a picture book to her chest, for some reason.

“Lute-kun, are you already done with the preparations for departure?”

“Yes. I’m already done, but……”

I turned my gaze to Luna.

She noticed Chris, then ran and clung to her.

“Chrisse-chan, please say something too! Chrisse-chan also wants to be with Luna, right?”

Chrisse smiled wryly at Luna’s question.

Luna realized how she would answer and frowned in vexation while letting go of Chris.

And Chrisse; to her――

“We, cannot, go together, but…… we’ll be, friends, forever”

“!?”

Chrisse, who usually communicated using the mini-blackboard magic tool, tried her hardest to say it to her, word by word. Of course, this made Luna round-eyed in surprised.

Then Chrisse presented the picture book she had in her hands.

“My treasured, picture book. I, want you, to have, this, Luna”

That picture book was the first picture book her parents had bought for her, and she had brought it with her when we got married. She had come to like the genre because of this book, “The Hero and the Princess”.

Since it was her most treasured picture book, she wanted Luna to receive it.

Luna stared at Chrisse while enduring the tears that were about to spill from her eyes.

“I don’t need something like a picture book! Stupid Chrisse-chan!”

“Luna!”

Lyss became angry at the words of her younger sister.

However, Luna turned around and ran back to the castle with tears in her eyes.

Lyss apologized right away.

“I’m sorry. Luna didn’t mean what she had said”

[It’s not your fault, Lyss-oneechan.]

Chrisse raised her mini-blackboard with a smile so that we would not to worry.

It was a weak one though, and you could immediately tell that she was putting up a front.
