Chapter 53 – Being invited to an unscheduled meeting
“What?”
For a moment, I thought I heard wrong. What exactly came out of the princess’s mouth? I can’t understand the sentence that’s stuck in my ear. This is testing me.
As I was staring blankly at her princess, Anastasia spoke clearly once again.
“Aren’t you worried about dating issues right now,” She asked.
“……… ….”
You didn’t hear wrong. She doesn’t know if she knows how confused I am, but she smiles and pushes me.
“Even after all this, he’s top-notch when it comes to dating.”
“… “It seems like she has a lot of experience, unlike her status as the princess.”
“The romance novels that were specially delivered to me by the maids were a great study for me.”
“I don’t know for sure because her life is far from aristocratic, but is it okay for a princess to enjoy such entertainment for the common people?”
“If your majesty or mother knew, I would probably have to starve for two days, but the novel is worth it.”
Then the princess placed her hand on her bulging chest and spoke shamelessly.
“I understand. Professor’s heart. Love is not as easy as it seems…. Ruler! Go ahead and tell me your true feelings. Who are you? Is she the blonde elf with those huge, amazing breasts? Or is she Old Moon Freya, who was next to him? Or is it the person with the attractive silver hair and red eyes who was running down the hallway with bread in his mouth?”
“Hey… “
“Love doesn’t come true like the heart. You don’t have to talk too much. Even if that elf uses his voluptuous body to play with the professor’s feelings, even if our brothers adore Freya and especially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been courting Old Moon, love should be able to easily overcome such obstacles. Yes Social convention! “There’s no way something like that could get in the way!”
I don’t know. She was already lost in her own world and it didn’t occur to her how she could take her out.
The direction is different from Undine’s runaway. Unlike Undine, who was like popping caramel popcorn, Anastasia’s eyes and voice conveyed an indescribable calm madness.
Whatever it was, I could clearly see that it was not something the princess would say. In particular, her courage to treat the crown prince as an ‘obstacle to love’ was almost admirable. I was sweating coldly and just looked around anxiously to see if anyone would hear what I was saying.
“… So what is the conclusion?”
“Yes. You must overcome the barriers imposed by the world. “Even if it’s difficult, you have to do it.”
“No, what I want to ask is why you are suddenly reacting so seriously.”
“Me too… “Because there is someone who adores you.”
“…… What?”
Why is he like this? ?
It was a fact that I was not curious about at all, and I knew full well that finding out about the object of the princess’s affections would only pose a threat to my safety, so I suppressed the urge to cover her ears as much as possible.
“Actually, I did my research before coming to the academy. The person I adore is… You are at this school…. Ah! Just in case, taking lessons to become a warrior from Professor Neferna is for a separate reason. I didn’t ask for it out of spite. “Please don’t misunderstand.”
“……… ….”
“In the past, our meeting was brief, but I fell in love with it in an instant. Love. That’s clear love. That person is none other than Professor Neferna… Of… A talented person who was the student in charge and a former member of the 6th Holy Sword party. Pointy ears. A rich and soft tail. “A beautiful and cute face.”
Just then, the baby fox flying squirrel that was dozing off on my back slipped and fell to the floor.
I swallowed dry saliva.
“No way…” “
Anastasia blushed shyly and nodded her head.
“His name is…” … Cecilia….”
Cecilia!!! Run away!!!

Pure white gray earth. Most of the sky in the snowy field is covered with darkness and the sun does not shine through.
“It’s annoying every time I come here. “I don’t understand why you have to come back this far when you can just teleport through it.”
“No teleportation inside the mansion fence. “If you get caught, mom will scold you, so do it yourself, brother.”
“… “I won’t do it even if you don’t tell me.”
The moment Ignis sighed and answered, the monster that was hiding his body under the hill jumped out.
Undine responded skillfully to the sight of a monster walking upright with its entire body covered in fur.
Elemental magic. Original.
Waterjet.
As soon as the high-pressure jet of water filled the air, the monster was split in half from its head to its groin.
The number of monsters I encountered while walking just 10 minutes reached three figures.
Most of them were newborn monsters that hadn’t even gone through infancy, so it wasn’t an obstacle, but dealing with that many of them one by one was a strain on the nerves in many ways.
Even after almost reaching the mansion, Ignis continued to complain.
“You don’t even care about what’s outside the fence.”
“Mom and Dad are not the kind of people who would be interested in these things. It’s laissez-faire. “We’ve grown up like that too, right?”
“I hope you don’t neglect the monsters. “It’s dangerous.”
“Anyway, the only people living around here are monsters other than us, so it’s not a big problem.”
Undine spoke calmly and brushed off the blood and ash from the monster’s clothes. Undine hadn’t smiled much since she left the academy, or more precisely, since she moved away from Eugene.
This would be her original appearance, but lately she has become somewhat unfamiliar to Ignis, who has seen her younger brother clinging to Eugene and showering him with her heart.
“Does this mean that she has become accustomed to life at the academy? ….”
“Yes? What did you say?”
On the other hand, Undine just wanted to return to the academy as soon as possible. She sighed deeply.
I had no major complaints about being called to the main house, but there were more than one or two things that bothered me as the princess and Cecilia.
As she swallowed the ash-filled saliva that heated her mouth, a bitter aftertaste lingered in her mouth. All she could think about was how quickly she wanted to wet her mouth with the sweet drink. If her destination wasn’t right around the corner, she would have stopped by the city via teleport to wash off the dust.
When Undine turned her head, her eyes caught sight of a mansion leaning over a hill covered in ash.
The only sounds that could be heard around were the cries of monsters and the wind, but the faint notes of a string instrument could be heard from the vine-wrapped mansion. It’s her mother’s preference.
It would be nice if her noble tastes continued beyond her fence. The corpses of several courageous monsters creaking here and there along the fence with sharp spear tips. It was probably the last time I was intoxicated by the warmth of life coming from beyond the fence and was guided by instinct.
Undine and Ignis moved forward along the fence. There was a doorplate stuck to the pillar of the fence gate leading to the front gate, and it was so rough and stiff that it made you wonder when it had last been touched by human hands.
This was written in crooked letters on the doorplate:
‘Disizu Family (UndiNeeuu Jibroosaeo)’
The doorplate that no one sees is a work that Undine drew herself when she was young. The DC couple said it was a waste to decorate the wall, so they hung it themselves.
In this regard, it was a little difficult to understand what they were talking about, ‘taste’. Undine held the dial in her hand with a slightly flushed face, as every time she looked at the doorplate, it brought back memories of her childhood.
And then it stops.
“Undine, turn it around quickly.”
“……… ….”
“What are you doing?”
“… “What was your password?”
Is it because it has been so long since I came back to my hometown? I couldn’t remember the password I had entered by turning the dial out of habit.
Is there really a need for a lock? No one lives around here.
Since there is no way the monster is kindly turning the dial, I have suggested making a more intuitive and physical gate on more than one occasion, but I have a sad past where I was rejected by Mother Sun every time.
It took me a while to look at the dial so blankly.
Kirikㅡ Boom!
“Oh my, it’s open.”
***
When it comes to the Disizu family, it can be said that there are few people within the clan as well as within the clan’s magic tower who are unaware of its reputation.
Given the ethnic characteristics of blood relatives who refuse to interact with others, it would not have been strange for a custom to place importance on family relationships.
From ancient times, prestigious families that continued their own traditions have shined, but among them, the space-time magic passed down as a vision to the Disizu family was unrivaled.
Prestigious DC’s.
When I opened the door to the mansion and went inside, the orange-colored chandelier glowed softly.
When Undine and Ignis were young, the chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the entrance was just a decoration, but today it seemed to have been especially lit for the siblings who were visiting their parents’ home for the first time in a long time.
“Why don’t you come quickly?”
A thin voice floats down the spiral staircase.
The hem of a long dress. Hair tied up elegantly and neatly.
Ignis and Undine’s silver hair can be recognized without asking for the source.
Undine waved her hand, her eyes shining.
“Mom!”
“hehehe, Undine, how old are you and are you looking for her mother? “Isn’t it time for her to start calling me ‘mother’?”
Mrs. Dixie sighed lightly, looking at her daughter who was smiling brightly without answering. Contrary to her words, she spoke softly while hugging her two siblings tightly.
“I prepared a meal. “Your father is already seated, so why don’t you just change his clothes and come to the restaurant.”
There are no employees employed in the mansion.
It is a natural fact that a blood relative cannot be employed by another person tied to money, and even if they are subdued by force, the relationship will not last long.
However, the fact that it is impossible for the two remaining father and mother to clean such a large mansion and prepare meals does not change either.
When I entered the restaurant, a summoning magic servant was busy carrying meals. They were all wearing traditional maid uniforms, which was also a hobby of Mrs. Dees.
“Come on, come on, let’s get moving.”
Contracts made through magic power are sometimes stronger than money. The summoned Servant had no right to veto.
My father was already sitting at the table. Undine and Ignis greeted the owner of the Disis family and then sat down.
“I haven’t prepared anything, but enjoy it.”
The one who prepared it was a Servant. Undine swallowed her answer. I can’t handle it if I ruin my first dinner.
The meal started without anyone having to say anything first, and the time passed quickly as we asked about trivial updates and greetings.
“Oh my, now that I think about it… “
Mrs. Dice put down her wine glass and continued.
“I can’t see my son-in-law.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Nemm?”
“Undine, why don’t you chew what you’re eating before talking?”
“Yes….”
After swallowing a mouthful of salad, Undine took a deep breath and asked again.
“Puha! “What did you say?”
“He said he couldn’t see his son-in-law.”
At the word son-in-law, the head of the DCZ family looked at me and opened her mouth.
“Honey… She’s a daughter who hasn’t even gotten married yet, so it’s a bit…… “
“Oh my, is it okay for me to be so cold to this person who will become my family in the near future?”
“No matter what…… Again, you don’t know. Undine may be non-married… “
“Isn’t that your wish? “Be quiet, you.”
He seemed downcast at Mrs. Dixie’s words and lowered her head.
Undine asked, tilting her head.
“Can I call the master?”
“Daughter, wait a minute…” Master… sir… ? Dad, did you hear wrong? Yes?”
“Okay, I want to call you. “I think it will give me strength to see my son-in-law’s face after a long time.”
“Yes~♡”
Undine wiped her mouth with a napkin and lightly waved her hand. Normally, if she had used space-time magic indoors, she would have been hit in the back, but her mother’s permission was the law of this mansion.
A pitch-black cavity was revealed next to the table, and then, as if being sucked into something, a person jumped out, or rather, a person and a fox child clinging to his back.
“Run away, Cecilia…………………………………… Uh…… ? This place… ?”
