14. School Festival – 06
When looking at chewing things, this situation is often created.
For example, a mother who looks at her boyfriend who gets along well with her daughter and wonders about her future son-in-law or when she will give her grandchildren, that kind of absurd situation.
Let’s be honest. I was the kind of person who thought that kind of situation and directing was a really ridiculous fucking delusion.
No, with common sense, how can crazy parents exist all over the world, thinking that their daughter, whom they have nurtured and cherished, is a future son-in-law while looking at a handsome boy next to them?
It’s not completely incomprehensible if it’s like a childhood friend you’ve known since childhood, or if it’s a relationship that’s bound by family engagement.
At least, if you’ve seen each other since childhood, you can think that you can entrust your daughter because you at least know what a man is like from a parent’s point of view. You’ll have to prioritize the interests of your family.
However, to put this in reverse, it would be a story that if you are not your daughter’s childhood friend or are engaged to be married to your daughter’s family, you should not at least not welcome it, if not smash all the clubs of the boys who approach your daughter.
In fact, didn’t Count Serias look at me with a very thick expression after hearing that I exchanged swords with Altina and spent a lot of time together after school?
Of course, after that, he suggested to me that he would marry Altina, but he knew very well that it was because he mistook me for a Master, and that it was not a decision he made personally because he liked humans. .
… And, that’s why Claire’s mother can’t understand the kindness I’m showing her now.
How on earth could a mother casually call a boy she met for the first time in her life, not sure what she was up to, as ‘son-in-law’?
“Huh, while communicating with my daughter, I heard a lot of stories related to our future son-in-law. And the fact that the prospective son-in-law really spent a lot of time with our poor daughter.”
Claire’s mother said that with a smile on her face as if she was really happy that I was very close to Claire.
“I… But if you’re Claire’s mother, why don’t you just talk to me comfortably… .”
I don’t want people to look at me like Count Serias, but I still feel uncomfortable when I hear honorific words from my friend’s mother.
“I do not know. If later the prospective son-in-law becomes the real son-in-law, I will consider it.”
“…..”
His son-in-law had no intention of giving up at all, Claire’s mother who called me son-in-law until the end.
“Actually, Claire is not a very friendly daughter at home. As such, I worried a lot about whether I would get along well with the other kids in Nineveh, but recently I’ve been able to put those worries down.”
“It was my first time. My daughter had never been so happy to talk about another man over the phone, nor had I ever spent so much time with another man. And that there is someone who eats with him every day. Everything.”
“That… Claire has always been kind to the people around her, so I don’t think I’m special… ”
Unlike Kayana, who says she doesn’t make friends, and Altina, who draws a certain line between herself and the people around her, Claire is a woman with a great temperament, so I don’t think she treats me in a special way.
– That’s impudent. Do you think she doesn’t treat you in a special way, since you get lunch from Claire Delphine Mascarena every day? Or, are you assuming that Claire is a woman with a slutty personality enough to pack lunch for any guy?
‘… No, it’s not like that.’
Well, looking back now, Claire is a woman with an introverted temperament who gets along well with people around her, but at the same time, she has the feeling that she maintains a certain level of distance from other men except for me.

Moreover, I could say that I was almost the only man who sat face-to-face with Claire and ate together.
So now, is Claire’s mother putting all those fragmentary facts together and misunderstanding that I’m in the position of Claire’s boyfriend?
“No, I heard everything I heard from Claire. For example, her daughter hurt her prospective son-in-law by running out of magic during practice, and Claire felt guilty about it and nursed her son-in-law, but after that, the relationship developed rapidly and they ate together. Or something like that.”
“…..”
“Oh right. And during the midterm exams, there was a saying that we studied together in my daughter’s room, or that the prospective son-in-law often ordered a specific menu to see if he liked the lunch box my daughter made.”
Claire… It turns out that you have told your family about me, even the smallest things.
In Nineveh, she had a warm smile like a person ten years older than the other students, but in fact, she had the personality to tell her family all about it.
I think I now understand why Claire’s mother is now tentatively appointing me as her prospective son-in-law.
If my daughter, who wouldn’t hurt even if I put it in her eyes, communicated with magic every day and talked about every man, even the smallest detail, wouldn’t it be very natural for her to consider me Claire’s boyfriend?
uh… By the way, Claire’s mother. But that’s all a misunderstanding. In fact, I’m not even dating Claire, much less as a boyfriend.
Claire and I just became close by chance, and the reason I ordered the lunch box was because the food Claire cooked was delicious… Is it possible to extenuate the normalcy even now?
“Well, I didn’t like the fact that the prospective son-in-law took good care of our daughter without our knowledge, but let’s just ignore such trivial matters. After all, the prospective son-in-law also had our daughter in mind in his own way, so he must have requested such an unreasonable order.”
Claire’s mother, who shrugged her shoulders as if it wasn’t such a big deal, soon smiled brightly and whispered very quietly in my ear.
“If it’s not like that, it can only be said that he was playing with my daughter, but surely our prospective son-in-law wouldn’t be the one to do that, right?”
Creepy.
At the same time as she said that, Claire’s mother looked at me with a truly terrifying gaze.
It was only for a moment, but what she pointed at me was none other than life.
Only then did I realize The fact that Claire’s mother had been looking at me extremely favorably, treating me as a prospective son-in-law, and smiling in front of me all this time was because I was so close to Claire.
And that it was because Claire had only good things to say about me to her mother and to the Mascarena family.
But if I hurt Claire, or if I come back and say that I didn’t really have a different relationship with Claire, and I’m going to babble-
– No big deal. I don’t know, but I have a feeling that all the wizards from the Mascarena family will rush here and cut you to pieces or tear you to pieces.
“…..”
– Although it is said that the tax has declined a lot in the Tang Dynasty, nevertheless, Mascarena is a place that can be said to be one of the five most famous magic schools in the empire. If you combine the strength of the wizards belonging to that place, there are rumors that it is comparable to a fair amount of mage towers.
As if it was someone else’s business, Erekaya didn’t stop explaining in a pleasant voice as if she was humming a song.
– Judging from the reverberation of magical energy felt throughout her body, Claire’s mother can also be judged to be a wizard of a considerable level. Well, in that sense, it seems that she alone will be more than enough to do anything to you, without the wizards from the Mascarena family coming to visit you.
During Count Serias, it was obvious that the nobleman hated me so much that I was able to casually say that Altina and I weren’t like that. In such a case, how should I react?
… No, wait. Come to think of it, did I say a clear refusal at the time Count Serias tried to marry me and Altina?
If my memory is clear, it seems that there were so many things to say about clashing swords with that high-ranking daughter at that time that I forgot about marriage.
then… Surely Count Serias just didn’t mention it, but they don’t think Altina and I will get married someday, right?
“…..”
I feel like my head is spinning round and round. If so, I’m not just engaged, but I’m already tentatively promising to marry the daughters of two aristocratic families in the empire?
And the Counts of Serias and the Mascarenas don’t know that I’m somehow straddling the two families?
But I’m in a position where I have to seduce Kaya to make her happy someday.
Then I… What’s going on now? Isn’t it really a situation where you don’t know when you’re going to die?
– How come. This is all up. Just as if you are suffering in your current life because of the karma you accumulated in your previous life, you are being punished right here for hanging out with random women over the past three months. In the future, worse situations than now may come, so how about taking this opportunity to make up your mind?
‘… Are you calling it consolation?’
But did Erekaya’s words become seeds?
“Oh, Gin!”
On the other side, someone called my name in a voice I wasn’t familiar with. Hearing that voice I was so familiar with, I involuntarily turned my head and looked in that direction-
“Altina, please be careful. Even if you don’t, there are too many people around you, so I’m just worried that I might miss you.”
“father. No, there’s Jin over there! Gin!”
“… I know. I can’t seem to get rid of my habit, because I can clearly see him carrying a woman around his side.”
Right on the other side, it was none other than Count Serias and Altina walking towards us.
“… Hmm? Son-in-law, is there any problem? Did you find someone you know?”
“…..”
Somehow, it seemed that the worst crisis in this episode was approaching.
