> Ellie PoV < "Me and Ellie here." My heart leaps up to my throat. What? When did this happen!? I want to ask, but words don`t come out! "WHAT? When did this happen!?" Thanks old man! I owe you one! I`ll even forgive that desperate face you`re making! "You see, I found and saved this girl in the forest. She was so grateful she immediately proposed. It felt like fate so I accepted." Ah the old priest is at a loss. Only stupid noises like `eh` and `wha` come out. I stiffly look back at Kira. "Th-that... When did I propose?" "My, did you already forget how magnificently you proposed?" I definitely don`t remember doing something like that! "It was such a wonderful form, I could tell you practiced!" Does she mean the dogeza? "You even did it three times in a row!" It`s definitely the dogeza. "It`s the same as saying `Become my sun and marry me`!" Mmm, Kira certainly is as brilliant and warm as the sun... Wait now`s not the time for that! "And when you said you`ll take responsibility I fell for you right away!" Geh, I did say that, didn`t I? "Kyaa, just thinking about it makes me weak in the knees!" "Hey K-K-Kira! S-stop fidgeting like that!" Uuu, the warm and fluffy is rubbing against my back. But, right now, I will not panic. I must act like an adventurer worthy of being Kira`s disciple. I take being a disciple very seriously. Therefore, I must be calm. Ooooooooohm. Ooooooooohm. Ooooooooohm. Fuuuuuu. Okay, now let`s assess the situation. First, I arrived here. Then, I met Kira. I accidentally proposed without knowing. Kira accepted. We came here, the truth is revealed. And here we are. Looking at it, there`s really only one, simple question. I had found the answer before I even realized. I just needed the question. "KIRESSARA MIL QUASSE!" The priest shouted out, after finally regaining his senses. He`s leaning forward in an accusing manner over his desk. If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it`s taken without the author`s consent. Report it. "Have you completely lost your marbles?!" What a rude Baldie. The old me would already be crushing his windpipe. But, the me right now knows true serenity. It is right here, by Kira`s side. "You two wanting marriage... it`s unprecedented!" "But father, are there any actual problems here?" "Problems? Well... that is... huh?" Oh, his anger went out like a candle in a windstorm. Kira, good job! "There`s no laws against it..." He mumbles something and sits down again, clearly thinking it through. After a while, he looks at us again. "It`s not illegal and the citizens will accept it. Hell, some of them might follow suit. I mean, it`s Runetap after all. Next to a dragon taking a dump on the fort, this sort of thing is nothing." He chuckles and gives a nod. "As a Bishop of Enuri, I have no objections." Baldie, good job! "However!" Oh, he wasn`t done. His face is awfully serious. "As a Father, I want each of you to promise me something." Uwah, serious-faced Baldie is intense! What`s this unexpected power up? Is this the rumored Dad Mode? "Kiressara! I want to see my grandchildren! I`m not asking for the impossible, just adopt one after the ceremony. A girl! A cute one that will giggle and call me `grandpa` with a squeal!" Geh! This Baldie made some outrageous demand after all! "Yes! Leave it to me!" Immediate reply. Kira`s beaming smile says she`s looking forward to it. I`m a bit uneasy though. "Ellie! Make my daughter happy!" That`s it? "What are you saying? I`ll do that with or without your permission! You damned Baldie!" "B-b-baldie?" Why is his face cramping up? "Haaah..." Kira sighed behind me. Did I make a blunder? {Ellie, you have to show respect to your bride`s father. So don`t call him Baldie.} I see, I made a blunder. Nano`s right, that wasbad of me. I have to treat Bal- I mean, Esteemed Father, better. At least this time the uproar ended without someonebreaking an arm. Let`s call it a win for the new me.
