This is an emergency meeting!　There is not a moment to lose. Clarice and Burgess must not become like Arken's tragic love song!

Loloi's voice echoed through the silent, late-night orphanage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hey, hey, Loloi. Don't talk too loud about it.

Leroy called us to the orphanage cafeteria after Burgess had gone to bed.

'Loloi wants Burgess and Clarice to get married and be happy!　So, right now, tell Burgess about Clarice and ask her to marry him right away!　I want you to crawl in the night with me right now!"

Loloi was already in a state of excitement, inspired by the bard Amaranthia's song, "The Tragic Song of Arken.

By the way, does Loloi know what it means to crawl at night?

Clarice looked a little embarrassed and turned her head down.

Nevertheless.

The condition of "marriage" in this world is... to do what you're supposed to do.

And by "things to do," I mean...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, you know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm talking about the ground fighting I had with Archana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm talking about the kind where a p*n*s and a va*in* get together.

If you do that "thing".

At that point, they are considered to have agreed to "marry" each other.

If you do it with multiple partners, you have multiple husbands and wives.

Incidentally, this does not apply to "slaves".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That is why such a convenient status as "slave" is so valued in this country.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Both men and women. They can do whatever they want without worrying about the conditions of marriage...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess that's why places that deal with slave elves are more popular, such as brothels in the backstreets of the royal city.

It's a hell of a story, though.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Back to the story...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So, well. As Loloi says, get off your ass and crawl into the night.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You know, make a quick fait accompli, and get married quickly. In a way, it's the quickest way to solve the problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, I want to follow the order of things. I want to follow the order of things. I don't think that's the way to go about it.

Clarice said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm ...... seriously sorry."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hm? Why is Albus apologizing?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am now. The most important thing to remember is that you should never be afraid to ask for help.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not sure what to expect from Albus, but I'm not sure what to expect from him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Does Albus have any good ideas?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Hmm...'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Yes, I do. Is there anyone in Albus and Loloi's merchant network who might know of a better way?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmmm...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I recall, there was a merchant who dealt in aphrodisiacs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But the effectiveness is unknown.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And even if they were effective...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Relying on such things is nothing more than "letting the momentum take over," which Clarice hates.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But no matter how much the three of us agonized over it, we couldn't come up with a good idea, so it might be a good idea to ask for someone else's help.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Maybe we should write to Arcana and ask for her advice."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Mrs. Albus!　That's a good idea!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Really?　By all means, please!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So, that's why.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I decided to discuss Clarice in a letter to Arcana, which we regularly exchange through the warehouse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...The reply came the next night.
