134 – 134 – Candidate Recommendation Carefully # 4
134 – Candidate Recommendations Carefully #4
Secretary Cristina asked me.
“Will you marry me?”
It was a question I hadn’t thought of at all.
There is no such option in-game.
So I froze for about 3 seconds.
I’m not upset
I just didn’t know what to say here.
… Is that embarrassing?
anyway.
As I was not answering, Cristina added a few more words.
“me. Do you think it’s okay for a betrothal? The house is good too. Maybe my assistant will do well too? You would know very well who was responsible for the high approval rating of that face madam Mikhail.”
“Yeah.”
My fiancée, Cristina, was a very nice person.
If I had a girlfriend like Christina, I would probably post pictures on social media every day, brag about them, set them as profile pictures, and talk about them throughout the year.
But.
Common sense made it impossible for a woman who could brag to everyone to like me.
“In other words, is this an engagement from a political standpoint?”
“Can you see that?”
Christina’s answer was without hesitation.
Also.
Somehow it hurts me a little.
You’re going to get sick of the heart of steel.
“However, after meeting and talking today, it seems that this is not necessarily the case. Viktor, seeing the various human aspects you have, I am personally interested in you.”
It’s the human side that I have.
what is it
No, this is most likely a fake story.
I’m not fooled.
“Engagement, I refuse.”
“Why? Don’t you like me?”
“No, it’s not like that. I just think that something like an engagement or marriage should be true love. That matters more than anything else.”
I want to find a bit of romance in a place like that because it’s a realistic country when it comes to debt and debt.
of course.
When I told this story, people looked at me like an immature child dreaming of some absurd dream, saying, “Hey, marriage is rather a reality.”
So was Christina now.
The blue eyes behind his glasses contain quite a bit of surprise.
and then.
The guy laughed and said ha ha ha ha.
Yeah, I knew it would be like this.
“So funny.”
Cristina, who laughed for a long time, took off her glasses.
The face without glasses looks different.
Then Christina wiped away her tears and shook her hand.
“Oh sorry. I can’t even think of it at all. such a story. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it except when I was young. Saying such a story seriously with that kind of face, buufh-.”
I see you are still a child.
Of course, I didn’t say anything like that.
Cristina, who had been laughing for a long time, apologized to me, saying, “Sorry for laughing.”
Then say a word.
“It is still a pure dream. I have a dream like that too. Rather, there are more reasons why you and I should unite, Viktor.”
What else are you planning to put together?
It was when I was on my guard.
“I will be king.”
“… … .”
This is a rather big dream.
So it was embarrassing.
Should I say that it felt like I saw a friend who seriously said “I will be the president” during a presentation in high school.
These days, even elementary school students don’t carelessly say that their dream is to become president.
But Christina’s expression was very serious.
“I will be king. I don’t want to stop at Ludens’ secretary, Ludens’ student council president. One day I will get a crown hidden somewhere on this island and become a king.”
It was a big dream.
After saying that he knew it well, he blushed as if he was embarrassed.
“Are my dreams funny? like a child’s whining. Viktor, if you want to laugh, you can laugh too. Because I also laughed at your dream.”
“No, it’s not funny. It is a dream that can come true.”
Cristina seemed rather surprised by my sincere answer.
He asked with a small purr as if there was something inside his wide open lips.
“… Do you really think I can be king? I’m not from a ducal family, I’m not a noble, I’m just an ordinary merchant’s daughter.”
“yes. Anyone in this ludens deserves to be a king. If you are a student of Ludens in the first place, you should be dreaming of that level.”
Actually, somewhere in this Ludens, there is the “crown” of the old King Gilgamesh.
If you get it, you can claim the vacant throne on the mainland.
But.
The crown had not been found for decades or a hundred years, and the throne was empty.
While the King’s descendant, the 3rd duke family, regarded the crown as just a ‘myth’, there was something too romantic to be a dream of a girl from a wealthy merchant background, not a noble family.
So rather new.
I never thought Christina would have this kind of side.
That’s why I was curious.
“You asked me how it would be if we got engaged to each other. Do you need me in your dreams of being king?”
“I think so. I don’t just want to be a king. The king I want to be is someone who can make everyone happy.”
“… Don’t you think I’ll be of any help?”
“I thought so too. At first, I thought that person would be Mikhail. That man, no matter what, he has a handsome face.”
exactly.
I would be happy to see your handsome face.
A politician’s appearance becomes a plus when it’s a plus, it’s never a minus.
“But there are also things you can’t tell just by looking at the outside. Viktor, I vaguely feel it. If you and I become one, I think I can achieve my dream.”
Christina’s expression was very serious.
Do you think you can become a king if you marry me?
By the way.
In a way, there was no better answer than this.
I know the identity of the “crown”.
That’s right, I’ve seen the ending thousands of times and I can’t help but not know it.
So it was amazing.
I never thought that Cristina’s feelings would be so good.
It’s just a pity that he followed Mikhail with that feeling.
Well, because everyone makes mistakes.
* * *
Christina Eustace.
There was a nickname that stuck with Christina since childhood.
‘Realist’.
‘cold-blooded’.
The two names stuck because Cristina always said the right thing.
– Cristina has no romance. Is it because you come from a merchant family? He probably only has numbers and money on his mind.
-It’s too realistic. It’s desolate.
Everyone said so.
But Christina was more romantic than anyone else and had big dreams.
I want to be a ‘king’.
since when
Christina had such a dream in her heart.
Instead of getting smaller with age, it grew larger and swelled in the chest.
The one he chose for that dream was the position of secretary of the Ludens Student Council.
It was because there was no better place than the position of secretary of the student council for a commoner who was not from an aristocratic family, let alone a duke, to show off his skills.
So I worked hard and entered Ludens.
Also, this semester, he was selected in the eyes of the handsome student president and finally showed off his skills.
Several problems shook Christina’s dreams, but on the other hand, she saw it as an opportunity.
‘If you solve this confusion nicely, you will be closer to the king’s path. Of course I expected this level of adversity.’
Christina thought so.
And in this case, I was lucky to know about the man ‘Viktor’.
Christina prided herself on her ability to see people to a certain extent, as she had been a merchant since childhood and had taught herself to study kingship on her own.
Seeing himself like that, Victor was ‘of the same kind’ as himself.
Although he is treated as a hard and stark realist or a fundamentalist obsessed with regulations.
The inside is said to be filled with strawberry jam that is sweeter and more romantic than anyone else.
So expected.
‘It will suit me well.’
It was the first time Christina had met her kind.
He said without hesitation, “I believe,” towards Christina herself, who everyone had been suspicious of whether he thought so too.
Even when he heard his dream of becoming a ‘king’, he did not laugh or laugh.
Rather, he said, “It can be done” seriously.
‘A kid who is like a symbol of trust would say such a thing. It won’t be a pretense or to flatter me. He’s really telling me I can be king.’
It was the first time I had such a reaction.
So Christina asked again.
“Victor-kun, do you really want to get engaged to me?”
Of course it was rejected.
“I don’t want to promise marriage for reasons other than love.”
The guy who said so seriously soon said, “… No, if I had to ask, it would take about 5 billion Renae to make a promise… .” He blurted out.
‘5 billion ren? I don’t know what it is, but there’s no way I have that kind of money now.’
Then all that remains is love.
‘There must be love… .’
What is love?
‘Something like that. I’ve never even thought about it.’
So this time, I asked, “Then, how about just unification?”
Regarding it, a male student said:
“That too is rejected.”
“… … .”
Cristina shut her mouth.
Then, “Why… ?” he asks.
The male student explained the reason for this.
“First. There is nothing between you and me It’s okay if we just talked for the first time at a cafe. In the meantime, it’s an engagement or a monogamy. It’s funny.”
“It’s a theory.”
There was no time to retort.
Was it too hasty?
“Okay, ten minutes have passed. Let me wake up first.”
The man stood up from his seat.
Originally, I wouldn’t have caught it.
Cristina is, as everyone says, a ‘realist’.
Throw away what is hopeless.

Just as he relentlessly abandoned Mikhail, whom he had no relationship with except for public affairs in the first place.
It’s foolish to invest time and money in someone who won’t hold hands with you.
The business path he learned from his parents must have been the same.
Christina’s cool head said so.
But for some reason, that romantic heart thumped terribly.
If I don’t catch this man here, I feel like my ‘dream’ will fly away.
The first man who hasn’t laughed at his dreams.
Rather, he was a person who even supported me.
I thought that if I let go like this, an opportunity like this would never come.
‘Could this be the feeling everyone is talking about… ?’
“Hey, wait a minute—!”
“what?”
“I, I just need to like you… ! If I truly love you, then you are engaged to me too. to become one you will think… !?”
It was a great story even when you think about it.
Everyone in the bakery looks this way and starts whispering something.
My face was hot.
It’s the first time in my life that I feel like this.
But.
The gazes of the people around her, whom she had cared about all her life, did not matter now.
It felt like there were only the two of us in this large space.
* * *
What kind of situation is this?
I was embarrassed.
Even with a heart of steel, it was difficult to stay calm in this situation.
“Love” in front of so many people. How are you lucky?
It was not like the ‘cold-blooded Christina’ I know well.
Some kind of penalty game—no, it felt like being filmed on a hidden camera.
Actually I had that experience.
One day, a girl I worked with confessed that she likes me.
「Curious Muji: I like you」
After receiving his confession, for some reason, I thought I was starting to like him too, so I replied “yes”, and he replied “April Fool’s Day”.
The rumor spread among the part-timers at the store where I worked, and everyone made fun of me, so it wasn’t easy to work.
Did I stop trusting women after that?
At the age of experiencing such pain, a heart like steel has returned.
It is sewage to think, ‘Does he like me?’
There is something crafty here.
yes.
Maybe that’s it?
Is it an extremely political and strategic move?
yes.
Most likely.
Christina.
this scary girl… !
Where and how far did this calculated action come from?
I made up my mind and said.
“Even if you end up liking me. There is no guarantee that I will like you. wherever you try Our story starts there.”
Will this be enough?
I won’t be fooled by those April Fool’s Day lies anymore.
It felt like the heart of the young man who was crying because of the lie inside me was also saved.
“And the cake, the remaining part is cheaper.”
The cake was packed enough for the members of the club to eat.
Arno, Ariol, and imp Puipoi will be appreciated.
With that feeling, the day passed and the next morning.
Nike came running hurriedly from the morning.
“Victor!”
“What’s going on today?”
“That’s what I want to say… ! What is this, what is this… !?”
The newspaper Nike is pointing to.
What was written there was a rather surprising story.
“Miss Victoria announces her intention to unite dramatically with Candidate Victor… ! Relationships that have been broken off can be restored with this opportunity—”
「It is revealed that Candidate Christina is also in the process of cooperating with Candidate Victor—.」
“Victor, to unite with Victorica, to cooperate with Christina again… ! I don’t know how the hell this is going… !”
“… … .”
me too.
This is very upsetting.
Aren’t all the stories of cooperation ruined?
At this point, I don’t know if Ludens is going to the end more than when Mikhail was student council president.
By the time I feel that tension.
Nike groaned.
“Victor, there is a debate between the candidates here… ! It seems that the candidates with over 10% approval rating are holding a debate in front of the students… !”
