You can hear the ticking of the wall clock in the store.
That's how quiet the store has become.
In such silence, a streak of sweat drips down my cheek.
After the appearance of the too-bright vampire, who seems to be Memoria's mother, and then the appearance of a man who seems to be Memoria's father, who seems to be a dignified and stern-looking gentleman, the atmosphere has completely changed and I'm not able to respond.
There was no need to panic, but even so, the only thing I could do was stand tall and wait for him to start talking.
But this time I was too nervous to notice the sudden appearance of Memoria's parents.
I didn't realize that they were over there, waiting for me to start the conversation, not knowing what to say.
Maybe that's just as well.
After all, it feels like you're standing naked in front of a wild lion with a vampire man in front of you.
You are on the verge of killing or being killed, and it is impossible to feel that much intimidation from the presence in front of you and ask you to calmly greet him with a smile.
God! Gray and his groom are too nervous! Come on, smile smile!
It was Memoria's mother who broke the atmosphere.
I'll be able to hear the sound of her reasonably nimble footsteps echoing through the quieted store as she walked around behind the gentleman in front of her and clapped him on the back.
Then he turns to me and smiles cheerfully with a face just like his memoria.
She looks older, but younger, and her actions relax my shoulders.
The same is true for her as well, and the atmosphere has become somewhat lighter than before.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you, but I acted like I was threatening you. Gray is good at his job, but he's not a very good talker. It's not so bad once you get used to it, but when you meet him for the first time, he becomes very stiff. I was having a conversation with Memoria and her son-in-law and I missed the chance to get in and stood in front of the door. It's just a cute part of the story.
You can find a number of different types of shoes in the marketplace, including the gentleman who seems to shout ”this girl is not doing it!
Even with such a response, the gentleman in front of me didn't move a single expression, but upon closer inspection, I noticed that he glanced at her several times as he smiled at her, trying to defuse the situation.
The figure seemed to be asking for help.
It was slightly intimidating, but for some reason I began to feel a vague familiarity with it, as if she were desperately trying to figure out what to say.
The air has lightened somewhat, and the words I can say to them are.
I'm Jiro Tanaka, and I'm dating your daughter, Memoria.
It's nothing more than a self-introduction.
I know you're Memoria's parents, but you haven't introduced yourself.
I think it's a good way to start off the conversation.
At the greeting, Memoria's mother showed a scowl for a moment, then showed a gesture of remembrance and laughed with an ahaha.
Ah! I'm sorry. Auntie, I totally forgot to introduce myself. I'm Myrl Tris. This is your husband.
It's Gray Tris.
”You know, we're Memoria's mom and dad!
You'll be able to see that her gestures, which make you think that she is a junior high school student full of energy, are somewhat unreasonable for her to say such an old lady.
You're going to be able to get a smile while thinking that, but you'll be able to hold it together.
And the voice of the gentleman next to him is just as I imagined it would be, a stern voice.
I hope this helps to take the conversation a little bit easier: ......
”......
”......
Unfortunately, apparently not so wholesalers.
After the introductions, there is silence again.
I shift my gaze to ask for help, but Mille is watching me with a smile on her face.
The gesture seems to be assessing me.
Even as I glanced behind me, Memoria was quietly leaning against me, ready to watch.
This one is gently holding my sleeve, bidding me good luck.
I'm going to show you how to be a man, and I'm going to show you how to be a man.
”Well, I'm a dungeon tester at work.
”I'm a merchant.
”...... age is 28
”I stopped counting.
”You look so young.
Vampires do not age well.
I see. Vampires are quite strong here too, and I guess that's part of it. I'm pretty strong there too, at least.
”I have destroyed a division of ...... humans,
That enthusiasm is going to wear off soon.
I can't carry on a conversation.
Don't respond to such a person, for the love of God, with short sentences! And the urge to scream.
In addition to that, you're a commie! I want to scream, ”Oh my god!
Also, like Memoria behind me, Mirrle in front of me, don't be so desperate to hold back the laughter!
”Let's see.
”......
After that, we managed to go through a few self-introductory questions and answers without breaking down, but we didn't even manage to make a small talk.
I found out that this person is a merchant and is old enough to stop counting, so I can guess that his fighting ability is probably higher than mine right now.
Why would a merchant fight? I'll go through with it.
It's not that I want to step through a mine or anything.
The last one was meant to protect your memory, but I regret a little bit that I didn't say it.
As we were having this exchange, I finally didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, if you talk, you'll get an answer, but it's hard to have a place for that alone.
Again, the only sound is the ticking of the clock.
For me, it's more like this.
I thought that parents' greetings were supposed to be more of a conversation, but for better or worse, there was too little conversation.
In my mind, whether it's Memoria's parents or Suela's parents, I don't do daughters! I was prepared for a conversation on the subject, but I didn't expect any of that to happen.
At worst, I was prepared to get down on my knees to get him to admit it, but now my resolve is being used in a different direction, and I'm beginning to not know how to respond.
Already! Gray! What happened to the questions you were thinking about when you came out!
”I forgot ......
I've been thinking about it for three days and nights: ...... Haha, well then, I'll just have to do it. And you don't seem like a bad person to look at.
”Oh.
I was given a lifeline.
Perhaps because the conversation didn't go too well, she gave me a wry smile as if to say it was inevitable.
I'm relieved when Mirul finally joins the conversation.
It looks like you're going to be okay.
”Yeah, I don't understand what happened in that conversation, but I'm glad I didn't get a bad impression anyway.
No, I wasn't worried about that, I was just worried that my father would attack Jiro-san.
”Was I in that dangerous a position?
”It's a joke.
”You've got to be kidding me. ...... Give me a break, your jokes don't sound like jokes sometimes.
Is that so?
