Even after a few seconds passed Rhyne gave no response. Hiroyuki wondered If the beautiful lady in front of him grew tired of his antics. The princess turned her head to the side seemingly no longer wanting to look at him.

'Well, I can't blame her I did go full chunni. She must be reeling in cringe about now. Still, I felt the mood needed it and thought I acted a little cool. Let's just get this over with. A middle-aged ojisan like me must look pathetic as hell.'

Contrary to what he believed however a small murmur escaped Rhyne's lips.

"..no..kebacks."

"Lady Rhyne? I couldn't hear you can you please say it once more."

Rhyne then faced him with her face red as a tomato as she shouted.

"I SAID NO TAKEBACKS! YES! I DO! I DO! YOU WILL BE MY HUSBAND FROM THIS DAY ONWARDS! "

The princess then threw herself into the arms of the transmigrator. The two smashed on the floor as Hiro was still kneeling on the ground. Surprised that it looked like Rhyne turned away not in disgust but embarrassment, Hiro feel fluffy inside.

'Does this mean I have a shot? Wait. Wait, let's not get ahead of ourselves let's enter Starfall first. We can decide what we do afterwards.'

Rhyne, who seemed to be in an extremely good mood, buried her face into Hiro's clothes and quickly said in happiness. "I will get everything ready, come to the chapel at noon today. Okay, Hiro-sama?! I will be waiting; You cannot be late!"

The princess then abruptly stood up at an inhumane speed and ran outside the room like a blur. The open door and soft breeze from her swift movements being the only proof she even came from inside the room.

Hiro felt happy that he wasn't at least laughed at or rejected and felt pleased. He then wanted to check his status again to verify what happened to him. No longer needing to verbally call the screens. He checked his information through his eyes in the head-up display that floated in his vision like AR interfaces.

When Hiroyuki saw the changes in his status screen, he felt like crying. Despite everything he said, the beating he endured from Artorius shattered not only his ego as a protagonist but his pride as a man. He tried to keep it together and not think about it, but Hiro felt extremely angry at the fact that he got Isekaied into another world while still being a nobody.

He already suffered so much without anyone to lean on from childhood till now. When he thought he would need to repeat the process again, he just wanted to quit and go back to earth.

In this world, however, the heavens heard his cries for help. Unlike his home world, enduring hardship here granted rewards from the system itself. Despite him not leveling up, he now gained MP, SP, and AP. [Sword Novice] gained four levels, while six new skills were added to his repertoire. The changes made Hiro ecstatic. Eager to know more he browsed the skills excited to see what new possibilities they gave him.

The fact that one of the best skills he had right now was named [Masochism] made Hiro want to bury his head in the sand. He brushed his black hair back as he tried to think about his new skills.
