CH 37
"- So, the two of them will become my concubines."
" Really? Congratulations."
The next day, when I go to her house, I reported it to Philia.
I thought that she will be a little jealous, but her happy smiling figure is already showing the dignity of a Legal wife.
As expected of my wife...
(T\N: This novel is biased towards male superiority, so don't complain. Though I personally don't like when the MC get? women without having to shear some skin for them)
"... Philia-sama, thank you very much."
" Thank you very much"
"Yes, let's get along."
Legal wife and concubine.
Sometimes it doesn't work.
It seems that there are some nobles who love their concubines more than their legal wives, and it is normal for a legal wife and a concubine to be hostile, so many families don't do well after getting married.
Well, maybe it is because of the family turmoil that occurs when the concubine gives birth to a boy who is a candidate for heir before the legal wife.
Aristocrats are troublesome.
But Philia and the two seem to get along well, so I'm relieved.
Aren't they going to fight when I can't see it?
....Well, it’s okay.
Shalltear and Cecil are easy to understand, and Philia seems happy to have more people to talk to.
"Well... both of you, then, please."
"....O.K. I understand"
"I got it"
"What's wrong?"
Philia tilted her head when the two of them left at my words.
I smiled at her and said,
"I asked them to do some errands."
"Really?"
“Yeah, so.. Philia.”
"Yes, what is it?"
I decided to make up my mind to her smiling face.
"Today, it wasn't just about the two of them... there is another main event."
After saying that, I stood up, got down on one knee in front of Philia and took out the ring I had prepared from my pocket.
"I want you to receive this..."
"A ring... is it? It's so beautiful..."
"Yeah, an engagement ring. It's a little early, but... I want to give it to Philia."
The silver ring is partially made with Mithril Golem silver.
I had it adjusted so that it would be a silver ring.
Just like Philia's beautiful hair.
The orange and blue decorations are, the orange of the Sunny Dragon's magic stone and the pure blue of the Aurora Dragon's tears processed with ice magic ore .
A magic ore is an ore with magical powers.
It's a rare item with a small amount of outflow, but... I went to a mine in an undeveloped land and got it.
It probably took the most time to collect the materials for Philia's ring.
Flying in the sky to find and defeat the Sunny Dragon with Pegasus, finding the Aurora Dragon in a high-altitude snowy mountain, making it cry without killing it, digging a hole with magic and search for ice magic ore in an undeveloped land.
The material obtained in the process was worth a considerable amount of money, but as a gift to my beloved fiancée, it is only natural.
"Philia, thank you for everything. I want you to stay by my side from now on.. No, I want to be with you forever.? As a small token of that, I would like to give you this... will you accept it?”
"... Yes. Of course. I will always be by Sirius-sama's side."
"Thank you"
Philia smiled happily, put the ring on her left ring finger, and Philia and I kissed lightly.
I think this might be my first kiss.
(T/N : How old were you when you got your first kiss? )
In my first life, there was no way I could have a girlfriend, and in my second life, I was traumatized by that princess.
There was no way I could kiss her at that time, I didn't want to do it, and she didn't force me to do it either, but I was really forced to do that once.
( T\N: Maybe at the wedding? )
Even that one time was extremely unbearable, but kissing Philia like this is amazing――I am fulfilled.
I wonder if this is what is called happiness... Even though our lips are just touching, I feel Philia closer than before.
But I also felt that it wasn't enough.
I want to make all of Philia mine... I am greedy and selfish.
After reluctantly ending our seemingly eternal kiss, Philia seemed to regret it a little, and she had a dreamy expression on her face.
"Thank you, Philia."
"Ah... no, no..."
Such a cute fiancée, but since it’s the first time for me and her, so it is natural to react like this to our first kiss.
Actually, I am desperately trying to suppress my desire to seek more from Philia.
8-year-olds can only do light physical contact.
I thought like that, and I still do.
However, just now, just at that moment, I wanted more from Philia.
I can understand that it's a feeling of love, but to have that kind of desire... love is a scary thing.
You will say I am a lolicon, right?
Okay.
Even if I get that kind of tile, I'm going to declare my love to the people I love!
After that, Philia was looking at the ring happily, but when I met her gaze, she became embarrassed and shy, which was irresistibly cute.
I think that passing my days with Philia like this is one of the most precious times in my new life.
Living the way I want with the people I love...Yeah, that's very nice.
