66 CHAPTER XXVI ENGAGEMENT Riot 2 (1/2)

'Fwiw, that was embarrassing: ......

Now he is riding in the carriage towards home, away from the painful stares of his classmates .

'That atmosphere was awesome,'

It's true!　Then you're too embarrassed to be able to talk to Leo at school these days, even though you've finally been able to comfortably talk to him at school.

Oh well, after a while people get bored and don't do anything in particular.

Do you think so?

People are like that. They're sensitive to new things, but once they get used to it, they don't really want to do anything that bad.

Hmm.

Speaking of which, I finally got to talk to both of them properly today.

'Oh, now that you mention it, it was,'

'Sure, we were so busy talking together that I forgot to talk to Leo.

What?　That's it?　I feel like an idiot for wondering how I was going to talk to you.

I was so seriously worried about it, but ...... you two are just 'oh, by the way' .......

'We're sorry about that . Sorry about that ... We were both preoccupied with the story.

'That's right ...... we were both very serious about it, weren't we?　What did you talk about?

Yeah, it's girl talk.

Heh, heh, heh. Oh, really?

They don't seem to be telling me what it's about .

I feel like Leena's smile is warning me not to ask any more: .......

'Oh, I think we've arrived at Leo-kun's house.

Yeah, yeah. Let's get out.

＊＊＊＊＊

Now we're lounging around the room.

No one in particular is talking and lounging around.

Leena and Sherry had already been in my room many times, so they were free to relax wherever they wanted.

But even as I was lounging around, my mind wasn't at ease.

I've been thinking about how to do what I was thinking about in class today.

No, it wasn't so much that I was thinking about it, but rather I was trying to figure out the right moment to do it.

I mean, I could do it at any time, but I couldn't find the courage to do it: .......

I got up after a while of lounging around and composing myself.

'Feng ....... Can you two have a minute?

Yeah, what?

Yes, can I help you?

I'm about to do some creation magic, so watch me.

'Okay, but ...... what are you building?'

In light of the last kidnapping, I thought I'd build an item that would allow us to locate the two of you in case of an emergency.

'That's nice to hear, but ...... make sure you know where Leo is, not just us.

”Uh-huh. Okay. Okay, I'll make three identical items.

I don't plan on building mine, but it'll be fine.

Are the three of you together?　I'm so happy for you!

I'm glad you liked it before I started.

Take the materials out of the backpack.

Three magic stones, mithril, red dragon scales, and gems from the dungeon.

Wow, they're all beautiful.

Yeah, I picked out a beautiful one.

I've chosen three magic stones with more magic in them than any other in my possession.

I can't wait to see what you make of them.

Yeah, I'll look forward to it. See you at .......

Then he used his creation magic on the materials.

Then the ...... materials were mixed together and glowed and the result was a ring.

The result is the ...... ring.

The three rings glowed red.

I unexpectedly made one for myself, but it's ...... yes, it's an engagement ring.

I've decided to rely on creative magic to propose to you.

We both love ....... Will you marry me?

He bowed his head as he held out the two completed rings to them.

'Huh?　Uh-huh. Yeah, I'm getting married.

Sherry took it with a blush on her face .

When I looked at Leena's face ...... she looked a little puzzled.

'Wow, me too?　Are you sure?

Yeah. And I want Leena to be there for me from now on.

This isn't a lie.

I really, really want you to be there for me.

Yes. You're welcome.
