83 – Beach with the Milky Way (3)
“What? A marriage proposal?”
Baby Saint Rosetta asked back with an expression that did not know what she had heard.
“Yes, a marriage proposal.”
“Are you getting married?”
“I do. With Ael.”
“Ael? With that demon slave? I guess they lived in the same house and ended up committing it?”
“So that’s it. Let’s put aside the nonsense. What would be a better way to propose?”
Rosetta was lost in thought for a moment in response to Einer’s question.
“What’s the big deal? Just take her to a nice restaurant, have dinner, give her a bouquet of flowers, an expensive ring, ask her to get down on one knee and marry me, and that’s it.”
“Is that so? Is that really okay?”
“Isn’t that so?”
Rosetta shrugged her shoulders as if she didn’t know.
“You should have received a marriage proposal.”
“Well, that’s right.”
Einer said these words without any particular meaning, but Rosetta was shocked when she heard them.
“I don’t think I’ll ever receive a marriage proposal, is that what you’re saying?!”
“No? That’s not what you said? Anyway, you’re saying I can just bring a ring to the restaurant?”
“Anyway? If you don’t believe me, you can ask the lady in charge because there is a saint in charge in her temple.”
“I don’t know any more about the saint in charge. I understand. It was helpful.”
“But are you really going to marry that demon?”
Rosetta frowned as if she didn’t know the reason for her disappearance.
“Is there a problem?”
“I know that the demons are pretty and plump, but they are demons. How can a human marry a demon?”
“Well, I don’t think there will be any problem.”
“How many years do demons live?”
“It’s the same as humans.”
“Huh? Really?! How can you be so sure?”

How many demons have I killed so far? You can only win a fight if you know your enemy.
“Anyway, putting that aside. They’re going to have a child, but surely she won’t come out with horns? Will she be able to handle that?”
“I guess you don’t know much about Daham yet, but here, as long as you have money, no one cares whether you put horns or a sword on your head. And if it bothers you, just cut off the horns and that’s it.”
“Still, it’s a bit strange to marry someone from another race. I’ve never heard of a mixed race of demons, and there are similar cases.”
What Rosetta is talking about is a half-elf.
As a mixed breed between an elf and a human, they inherit long ears and green eyes.
The fate of half-elves is extremely different depending on whether the elf is male or female.
Elves are a matriarchal society.
If you are a half-elf, the offspring of a female elf and a male human, she will take you to a forest community and treat you the same as a pure-blooded elf.
However, elves do not even pay attention to children born between a male elf and a female human.
And on the other hand, in human society, people are discriminated against because they are the children of prostitutes who gave themselves to people of a different race.
However, unless they go crazy, female elves rarely leave the community, so most half-elves are patrilineal.
So in human society, half-elves have no choice but to live a difficult life.
But that’s a half-elf story.
Daham is a capitalist society.
And Einer is famous? Evil reputation? Anyway, a famous security guard.
Ael is also a demon slave who cooks pork belly, and there is no one in the entire Daham who does not know this, so there is no way that a child born between them will be treated unfairly.
“Thank you anyway.”
“Hey! We have to leave the offering!”
“A donation?”
“This is also a kind of confession, right? Do you think I had some free time and gave you free advice?”
“Hah? I see. Then, I’ll put it in the offering box inside the temple and go.”
Then Rosetta blocked the temple door and spread her arms.
“Give it to me! I’ll put it in!”
Aner, looking at Rosetta, burst into laughter.
“It would kill me to suddenly start working without pay after receiving a salary from the Palling Trading Company, right?”
As she took out a silver coin from her pocket, a smile brighter than the silver coin appeared on Rosetta’s face.
“Thank you!”
Rosetta hurriedly stuffed the silver coin into the pocket of her saint’s clothes, fearing that someone might see her.

While Einer was wandering around.
At home, Ael, Lamia, and Toby and Kira, who had just come down to the first floor, were having an early lunch.
Ael hurriedly called the two down because they had to sell lunch soon.
Kira and Toby sat side by side, glanced at each other, and when their eyes met, they smiled and avoided eye contact.
Ael looked at the two people alternately, her eyes twinkling.
“hehehe.”
Just looking at the man and woman in love made Ael happy and laughed like an idiot.
“Ael. Eat quickly. What are you doing?”
As Lamia spoke, Ael giggled and played with the spoon a few times, but this time her face blushed, she lowered her head and laughed under her breath.
This time it was because of the master and myself.
Kira and Toby just confessed to each other, but we’ve already talked about getting married?
So, I am more senior than those two people.
Ael’s mouth was so itchy that she couldn’t stand it.
“Hey, are you two going to get married?”
“Eh?!” “Hey, getting married!?”
Toby and Kira looked at Ael in surprise at the same time.
“Why is that suddenly…?”
“No, I think that’s the way it should be…”
With that, Ael hugged her body and began to twist her.
Lamia, who was looking at this pitifully, opened her mouth.
“Ael has decided to marry the inner master. She wanted to show off, so she brought up the story of marriage to you for no reason.”
“What?!” “You’re marrying the captain?!”
This time, the two people jumped halfway up the chair.
“You’re really getting married?! Ael, you and the leader?!”
“Somehow it happened like that…”
“No, what in the world is going on?”
Kira, who was dazed, shook her head.
“No, no. It was a natural procedure. It was just a matter of time. Then, did the leader propose to you? That person doesn’t have the inclination to do that, does he?”
“hehehe. I haven’t proposed yet. And I’m going to do it myself. My master is the benefactor of my life, so of course I should propose first.”
“Oh, okay? What are you going to do?”
Ael shook her head in response to Kira’s question.
“I’m not sure yet. Shouldn’t I prepare a gift or something? A ring or something?”
Then Toby threw up his hand.
“No. The ring is too expensive and it doesn’t suit the leader’s tastes. The leader won’t be very impressed with the ring, so it’s a waste of money.”
“Huh? Then what should I do?”
“Let’s think about it. If Ael proposes to the leader, what should we do?”
As Toby and Kira put their heads together and began to express opinions, Ael nodded her head eagerly, her eyes shining.

Afternoon patrol time.
Einer separated from Marco and Ryan and wandered alone through the precious metals street of the market.
It was to buy a ring needed for a marriage proposal.
Ael would have liked the ring regardless of its price, but since it was a once-in-a-lifetime marriage proposal to her, I wanted to give her something nice if possible.
Ainor, who entered a jewelry store, looked at the various rings displayed in the window and asked.
“What’s the best wedding ring these days?”
Then the owner took out various rings.
Rings decorated with various types of gems, including diamonds.
“How much does this cost?”
“Oh, it’s a petana sapphire. It’s a very cost-effective product. It costs fifty gold coins.”
“Huh?! Oh, fifty coins?!”
Fifty gold coins are good value for money?
But really, what the owner said was right.
Other rings start from seventy gold coins.
Even in the case of Kazakhstan diamonds, it costs as much as 150 gold coins.
No, isn’t that really crazy?
This is not as easy as I thought.
Of course, it’s not like I don’t have about a hundred gold coins right now.
But life doesn’t end with buying a ring.
Even a wedding costs money, and if we want to live together and open a restaurant in the future, we need to save a lot of money.
In the end, Einer left the jewelry store without deciding anything.
That’s enough for today, let’s think about it for a few more days.
Thinking like that, I was leaving Jewelry Street when I saw a person I had seen a lot walking in front of me.
“Ael?”
“Huh, master?!”
Ael was so startled that she took a step backwards at a tremendous speed.
“I’m going to fall!”
“Ugh!”
Ael, who hit a passerby hard, apologized with his forehead touching the ground.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
“Ael. Are you okay?”
As Einer approached, Ael let out her scream, turned her body, and ran away through the crowd.
What is it? Why is he like that?
* * * * *
When I went home after work, I saw Kira and Toby walking around and helping with the serving.
“Are you guys gone yet?”
“I heard the captain took care of our vacation.”
Kira answered as she carried a tray full of side dishes.
“Why are you helping out here while you two go somewhere else on vacation?”
“Still, we have to do our duty as people, right?”
“What is a person’s duty? Instead, there is no daily wage.”
“Hey, yes.”
After greeting Ael and Lamia, Einor immediately went up to the room on the second floor.
After removing his leather armor and waist belt, Einer stood at the window for a moment and looked out at the sea off Daham.
Ainer was lost in thought while looking at the blue shining beach of an uninhabited island floating in the ocean.
There is a lot to do.
I was preparing for a marriage proposal and thinking about it again, I had to save up for a vacation as well.
You are guaranteed a few days of vacation a year, but if you get married and have children later, you will definitely need more vacation.
There is some reward vacation time that I got from solving the goblin murder case and the Elyon fleet incident, but there needs to be more.
First of all, I have to report to the dwarf leader tomorrow that I am getting married.
Anyway, I think the rumor has already spread since I fought that crazy wizard in the morning.
The dwarf leader is going to fly around because he didn’t tell me first.
Anyway, what about the ring?
I want to give Ael something really good.
Tuk-!
At that time, I heard a strange sound and turned around to see a knife sheath falling from the waist belt hanging on the chair.
I guess the leather strap has become worn out after being exposed to the sea breeze for a long time.
While Einor was picking up the sheath that had fallen on the floor, an ingenious idea related to a ring suddenly occurred to him.
That’s right. That will work.
