66 CHAPTER XXVI ENGAGEMENT Riot 2




 
'Fwiw, that was embarrassing: ......
 Now he is riding in the carriage towards home, away from the painful stares of his classmates .

'That atmosphere was awesome,'

It's true! Then you're too embarrassed to be able to talk to Leo at school these days, even though you've finally been able to comfortably talk to him at school.

Oh well, after a while people get bored and don't do anything in particular.

Do you think so?

People are like that. They're sensitive to new things, but once they get used to it, they don't really want to do anything that bad.

Hmm.

Speaking of which, I finally got to talk to both of them properly today.

'Oh, now that you mention it, it was,'

'Sure, we were so busy talking together that I forgot to talk to Leo.

What? That's it? I feel like an idiot for wondering how I was going to talk to you.
 I was so seriously worried about it, but ...... you two are just 'oh, by the way' .......

'We're sorry about that . Sorry about that ... We were both preoccupied with the story.

'That's right ...... we were both very serious about it, weren't we? What did you talk about?

Yeah, it's girl talk.

Heh, heh, heh. Oh, really?
 They don't seem to be telling me what it's about .
 I feel like Leena's smile is warning me not to ask any more: .......

'Oh, I think we've arrived at Leo-kun's house.

Yeah, yeah. Let's get out.


 *****

 Now we're lounging around the room.
 No one in particular is talking and lounging around.
 Leena and Sherry had already been in my room many times, so they were free to relax wherever they wanted.

 But even as I was lounging around, my mind wasn't at ease.
 I've been thinking about how to do what I was thinking about in class today.
 No, it wasn't so much that I was thinking about it, but rather I was trying to figure out the right moment to do it.
 I mean, I could do it at any time, but I couldn't find the courage to do it: .......

 I got up after a while of lounging around and composing myself.
'Feng ....... Can you two have a minute?

Yeah, what?

Yes, can I help you?

I'm about to do some creation magic, so watch me.

'Okay, but ...... what are you building?'

In light of the last kidnapping, I thought I'd build an item that would allow us to locate the two of you in case of an emergency.

'That's nice to hear, but ...... make sure you know where Leo is, not just us.

"Uh-huh. Okay. Okay, I'll make three identical items.
 I don't plan on building mine, but it'll be fine.

Are the three of you together? I'm so happy for you!

I'm glad you liked it before I started.

 Take the materials out of the backpack.
 Three magic stones, mithril, red dragon scales, and gems from the dungeon.

Wow, they're all beautiful.

Yeah, I picked out a beautiful one.
 I've chosen three magic stones with more magic in them than any other in my possession.

I can't wait to see what you make of them.

Yeah, I'll look forward to it. See you at .......
 Then he used his creation magic on the materials.
 Then the ...... materials were mixed together and glowed and the result was a ring.

 The result is the ...... ring.
 The three rings glowed red.

 I unexpectedly made one for myself, but it's ...... yes, it's an engagement ring.
 I've decided to rely on creative magic to propose to you.

We both love ....... Will you marry me?
 He bowed his head as he held out the two completed rings to them.

'Huh? Uh-huh. Yeah, I'm getting married.
 Sherry took it with a blush on her face .

 When I looked at Leena's face ...... she looked a little puzzled.
'Wow, me too? Are you sure?

Yeah. And I want Leena to be there for me from now on.
 This isn't a lie.
 I really, really want you to be there for me.



Yes. You're welcome.
 Then she took the ring from my hand.
 Leena's eyes were filled with tears.

"I'm so happy~
 I sat there, relieved.

I'm so sorry, both of you. I should have told Sherry before she got all screwed up, and I had to make sure Leena knew how I felt.

That's what I was thinking about: ......

'Yeah, I finally noticed it today: ....... Why didn't I notice it sooner?

No, I'm just so happy that you're confessing to me.

That's nice to hear. Thank you.

(It's just a shame that my plans were forfeited, though.)

What did you say?
 I thought I heard something whispering: .......

No, I didn't say anything. Can I put the ring you gave me on my finger?

Yeah. Why don't we ask Leo to do it?

Good idea. Leo, can I ask you for a favor?

 I feel like Leena forced me to change the subject ...... but that doesn't matter right now .
'Uh-huh . It's okay. Both of you, give me your fingers.

Yes, sir.

 I took the rings from them and slipped them on the ring finger of each hand.

Oh, since we're all three of us, why don't you wear it?

Yes.
 I put an extra ring on my finger.

"Now we're all together.
 The three of them smiled happily as they looked at their fingers .

''Yeah, they're matching. ....... Oh, by the way, I didn't look up what kind of ability this ring has.
 I realized I hadn't yet appraised it.
 I'll get right on it.

<Ring of happiness.
 Ten times the value of luck.
 When you pour your magic, you'll know where the other rings of happiness are located.
 Excellent durability
 Creator: Leons Forster

 Oh, I'm usually happy with the results of this appraisal.
 There wasn't anything in particular that I thought was bad, and I got exactly what I wanted.

 It's great that your luck was multiplied tenfold: .......
 The three of us were lucky to begin with, but now we're going to be even luckier.

 And the ability to locate the target.
 Apparently, I just have to pour the magic in.

 I immediately poured the magic into the ring.
 Then a ...... hand was pulled in their direction.

Whoa!
 I was pulled so suddenly that I involuntarily leaned forward and fell down.
 And then I knocked Sherry and Leena down as well.

"Hey.
"Yikes!

I'm sorry.
 It's like I'm draped over Sherry and Leena. .

'What's going on? Did you want to make out that badly?

No, it's not like that. I just fell down.

Again~ There's no way you could have fallen down in this situation. Don't be shy, it's perfectly fine to spoil me, you know!

Uh-huh. I mean, no! I poured my magic into the ring and it suddenly pulled me in two different directions and I fell down, unable to do anything about it.

"Heh~ I can pull it when I pour my magic on it: ...... I'll try it when I get home today.

'Yeah, try ......, Leena, are you okay?'
 I thought you weren't joining in on the conversation, but then you were hugging me and burying your face in my chest.

"Oh, yes. It's okay!
 When I called out to her, she turned her head to me and replied, but then she went right back in.

'Oh, just Leena, that's not fair! Me too!

"Hey! Huh?
 Shelly hugged me as tightly as Leena did and stuck her face to my chest .

 I'm completely stuck. .......


Oh, I'm so happy.

Yes, I'm very happy~
 But they seemed happy, so they decided to leave it at that.

 After that, the three of them were tired after making plans for the whole day, and they fell asleep surrounded by happiness.
