537 Are you symmetrical healthy?

Aceon and Tiffi greeted Bobstrider Von Milloween differently. Tiffi smiled friendly as if he was a part of her family while Aceon respectfully bowed, giving the impression of rank difference. It looked more similar to respect instead of acting like equals from their friendly bond.

Bobstrider Von Milloween snapped his fingers, and the two-door butlers standing in front of the door entered. One walked on the left side of the table and the other on the right side. Furthermore, both walked at the same movement speed, making it feel like watching a side being mirrored by the other.

The two butlers helped Bobstrider Von Milloween stand up by pulling the chair. As the duke stood up, his large perfect circular pot belly entered everyone’s view.

*Gulp* Vincent moved his gaze at the most troublesome girl. *Phew* He saw Ester wink at him while holding Lupa’s mouth, thankfully saving the day.

“It is nice to see the two of you are feeling better. But my friend, I highly suggest eating a little bit more food. I am highly worried about your health because one side looks slightly skinny than the other.” Bobstrider said while snapping his fingers.

The two butlers swiftly took out a small mirror from their pockets and extended their hands to help Aceon see the reflection of his unsymmetrical and apparently unhealthy figure. It also helped Aceon see he was starting to sweat nervously.

The relationship between Bobstrider and Aceon was a friendly one, but the more Aceon received help during the duration of their friendship, the more Aceon convinced himself never to betray his best friend’s expectations.

This was the reason Aceon acted but was close yet respectfully distant, while Tiffi treated Bobstrider like an uncle and Karta like a mother.

“Hehe, Uncle Bob loves to tease my father like usual.” Said Tiffi while giggling.

.....

“Ahem.” Aceon cleared his throat and changed the subject.

These are the Lionhearts. Vincent Lionheart, his wives Lilith, Ester, Iris, Lupa, and lastly, Sakura Lionheart. The blue fox with eight tails is Vincent’s familiar. It is named Plow.

*Pho!* “Plow is a she. Hump!” Plow cutely complained.

*Clap* “Marvelous! I have never seen such a cute symmetrical healthy familiar that can also speak.” Bobstrider said after liking Plow’s eight tails and Plow’s tail transformed into her missing leg having the same appearance as the real leg.

Plow slyly peeked at Lupa and smirked. She was called symmetrical healthy, yet all she cared for was to capture the attention of others, more than Lupa at least.

Vincent approached Bobstrider to greet him. He respectfully bowed while saying, “It is an honor to meet a refined noble such as the duke.”

Vincent raised his gaze and saw Bobstrider clearly now.

historical

The duke wore an elegant symmetrical suit while allowing his belly to remain unconstricted. His hair was short, while his gentleman mustache was long with the tips half curled.

This was the first time Vincent saw this type of mustache in real life. Not to mention a real man with so much symmetry.

Vincent and Kazumi became surprised the duke wasn’t as weak as he appeared to be. The husband and wife duo were strong enough to almost protect their security from any kinds of harm instead of the other way around.

Bobstrider looked at the girls approaching him and shortly saw them express a different greeting.

Ester and Lilith did the curtsy. Iris and Sakura nodded. On the other hand, Lupa kept looking at the unique human in front of her, and Plow acted cutely.

Bobstrider noticed Vincent become nervous and Aceon wiping his sweat. “Don’t mind with the fancy greetings. You are all my invited guests, yet I wonder, who is the most symmetrical out of you all...”

*Cough* “Please, duke Bobstrider, that question is a little inappropriate when addressing a husband’s wives. ” Aceon interrupted.

“Father is right. I bet mother Karta would pull both your ears equally if she was here.” Added Tiffi, revealing how Karta had mastered taking care of her unique husband.

Lupa’s mouth wasn’t covered anymore. She smirked and proudly boasted, “I am best girl, Lupa. Look at me, human. Aren’t I the best?”

Bobstrider stared at Lupa from head to toe. “Hmm... the proportions aren’t too bad. You pass as a decent symmetrical healthy woman.”

The dining hall became silent when Lupa was praised or ridiculed for not having symmetrical proportions. Not enough to meet his great or best ratings.

Nevertheless, when Lupa heard she was like Plow, a symmetrical healthy individual, Lupa smiled and said, “You human are a good man. Only good men see Lupa as the best, hehe.”

“Ahem. I hope my wife isn’t making the duke offended by her undignified actions. She is a free-spirited woman, and that is one of her charms.” Vincent said, hoping to clear any misunderstandings Bobstrider had in his mind.

Bobstrider placed his hand on Vincent’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, Vincent, at least you have a lot of women. Unlike my wife, who is the most symmetrical healthy woman in the world. There is no perfect woman like her.”

“...” Vincent didn’t know if he should respond after feeling mocked for having quantity over quality.

[This duke is quite rude. I never thought of meeting a man that boasted of his wife while mocking the wives of others as less beautiful.]

[Hmm... but I wonder what was hiding under duchess Karta’s clothes. How perfect are her proportions?]

Kazumi wondered, yet she secretly hoped Bobstrider would be able to see her wisp body and rate its symmetry. She was curious to know the opinion of a professional.

Vincent tried to change the atmosphere of the dining hall by introducing his wives. “Duke Bobstrider Von Milloween, I will properly introduce my wives.”

“Call me Bob. That is the least I can do to the man who took care of the Great Gray Wolf problem in the village I manage and also for saving Tiffi from a horrible situation.” Bobstrider offered with a firm gaze.

However, the truth was different from the excuse Bobstrider mentioned. The name Bob was more symmetrical than Bobstrider. Thus, he wanted the new guests to call him by his symmetrical name.

“... I understand, Bob.” Vincent went over to Lilith first as she was his main wife in the eyes of the nobles.

“This is Lilith Lionheart. She is the daughter of Leonis and Teresa Lionheart, and her class is a Healer.”

“Lilith Lionheart looks like a teen instead of a woman almost reaching her thirties.” Bobstrider used both hands to roll his mustache evenly and continued, “No wonder Lilith Lionheart was a name mentioned as the top five beauties of the kingdom. Her beauty defies age.”

Lilith blushed when the duke bluntly praised her. Yet she overlooked being called old. It appeared Bobstrider was a man who found many faults in people and bluntly mentioned them in their faces.

“This is Ester Lionheart. Like my other wives before marriage, she wasn’t a noble. Ester is a Sigil Mage and a great dancer.”

“That hair and eye color must be from the most famous nomad tribe with blood redder than an ordinary human and a body also more flexible than an ordinary human. I haven’t seen one of your kind recently, but it is nice to see they are still alive.”

“What do you mean?” Asked Vincent promptly.

Bobstrider noticed Ester look interested yet worried at the same time. He nodded and explained briefly, “Your people are nomads. They do not have a fixed home other than staying in the desert continent. They appear, dance to earn traveling expenses, and disappear the next day.”

Bobstrider shook his head. “But I do not know more other than the womanizer king of the Belucia Kingdom possibly slept with all races of women, yet none of his children are eligible to take the throne for some strange reason.”

[This sounds interesting. Can you ask Bob to elaborate?]

“Is there a reason why none of the deceased king’s offspring aren’t eligible to take the throne?” Vincent curiously asked.

“There is a rumor going around how if the rightful heir sits on the throne made of hundreds of blades and bleeds, they have a chance to become the next rightful heir.”

Aceon shook his head and continued after Bobstrider, “It is a shame no one knows the truth. Some say the main noble families hope had the king’s offspring have started killing any offspring born from the king.”

Lupa was starting to get envious that she was forgotten when it was her turn to get introduced. Lupa eagerly raised her hand and introduced herself, “I am Lupa Lionheart. I am a strong shapeshifter.”

“I don’t think there is any more to say about Lupa.” Vincent went over to Iris and introduced her. “This is Iris Lionheart. She is a gray Demigoblin.”

“No class? And why is her head covered? Is it because she is different than a hobgoblin?” Curiously asked Bobstrider.

“I-I have one horn... I didn’t mean t-to hide my...”

Vincent interrupted Iris with a head pat. He smiled at her.

“Iris is perfect as she is.” Vincent looked at Bobstrider and bluntly continued, “Aceon asked Iris to cover her head and add a fake horn on the missing side. But unlike the duke, I do not seek perfection because perfection means to have no more space for improvement.”
