66 . Demonstration dinner party 8 in a remote small city



Are you stupid?
 In the lord's office, when I told Foldente about the events of last night, this was the first thing he said.

 Nope.

 As far as this time is concerned, I am indeed aware of it.

 Erdena, who asked me to be her partner.
Are you sure it's me? Then he cried and wept.
"I don't want to be a secretary," he said in no uncertain terms.

 'I don't want to be a secretary,' he said.
 Erdena is my future wife candidate for this role.
 That's what he said.........

How can you still be so hypothetical?
 I'm going to be pissed off at Foldente again
 For once, I really can't say it back.
 Or rather, there is no room anywhere to talk back....

 At the end, though, it was vague because of Biblina's arrival.
 After that, I still haven't dared to meet with Eldena.

 Even if I did meet her, I don't know what kind of face I'd be able to cut off...

 When I kept worrying about that, Foldente said
So? What I'm struggling with is that you haven't yet decided who you want as a partner?
 That's what I've heard.
 That's not true.

 I don't think I could have had a better partner for this dinner party than Erdena.
 That's not to say that I don't have a feeling that it's because she's been taking care of the relevant business so far.

 But
 But more than that, it has to be Eldena, or else I don't like it.
 That's what I think.

If you're so sure, why don't you just tell him?
 Folded arms, Foldente says to me with a dumbfounded look on his face.

 I don't mean to sound awkward.
 First of all, I don't know what to look like to tell you how I feel about this.

 ... no.
 This is an escape.

 

''Well I have to say it properly in any way I can.
 When I said that.
 Foldente sighs, sighing.
Well, good luck with that.
 I said, and then I walked out toward the doorway, my right hand fluttering in the air.

 So that's where Erdena was standing.

 .........eh.
 Did you hear what I said before?
 
 When I asked her if she was dreading it, Erdena said she was going to walk straight to me.
Just let me hear it loud and clear. How do you feel?
 As he said this, he held my face in his hands.

 At close range.
 We form a stare at each other, me and Eldena.

 I swallowed my spit once.
I want you to join me as my partner... well... my wife... for the weekend's unveiling.
 That's what I said.

 Just.

 I realized after I said it.
 I haven't even gotten married yet, and I haven't proposed to him... it's all a bit of a goof...
 Yes, I was on the verge of getting my mind messed up, and Eldena

I'll take it. You.
 And then he kissed me.

 We're not.
 We held each other's lips for a while longer, and then embraced.

 I don't know, I've been thinking a lot of things.
 I don't think Erdena likes me.
 He's just hanging out with me because he feels sorry for me.

 but
 Thus, when we embrace each other.
 I always wanted to do this with Eldena, you know?
 I always wanted to be with Eldena, I guess.

 Yes, I thought to myself.

 Erdena's lips parted, and a slightly sulky look came over her face.
You've been waiting a long time.
 Then he hugged my neck and kissed me again.

◇ ◇ ◇.

 After all, there was a lot of work to be done after that.
 We didn't have much time together.

 That night, after I finished my work, Erdena came to my place.

 We went straight to my room.
 We spent that day together until morning.

 In the morning, I woke up to find Eldena's sleeping face, just as she was born.
 When I was staring at her sleeping face, she woke up and started to sleep, too.
Oh my God, how long have you been watching this?
 As he said this, his cheeks flushed.
 We looked at each other and smiled at each other, and then the door to our room was slammed open.
'Why is it locked bear~, I want to sleep with you bear~'
 I mean.
 Colock's voice saying that, even though it's already morning.
 
 I'm glad I locked it up tight, with relief.
 We hurriedly dressed and welcomed Korok into the room.

 Korok was
Why is Erdena there?
 Korok nodded his head as he said this.
 We laughed anyway.
 
◇ ◇ ◇.

 that day
 I officially announced that Eldena was to be my partner for the unveiling.
"And as a secretary, naturally?
 And then Biblina came in with a great sword in her hand, but

 I was very clear.
As a wife.
 I told her so.

 I can see why Biblina was shocked by those words.
 Likewise.
 aura
 Nirmana.
 
 These two were also kind of very shocked.

 I thought that thing with Nirmana was a social call.
You're so serious about it.
 So he broke down in tears as he said that.

 Foldente is
That's what you get for screwing everyone over... and not letting them whine about it.
 I chuckled at that.

 As for me, I don't feel like I'm playing around with it at all.
 When I hear that, I feel kind of bad about it.

 free of charge
 After a while, Vibrina.
I have not given up on the candidate.
 Yes, he said it to me, but I'm not.
No, I'm not a candidate.
 I told him so again.
Oh, no! He doesn't hear me!
 So Biblina ran off, holding her ears...

 In this situation.
 Only una.
Congratulations, little one.
 He congratulated me for saying that.
And don't forget to tell me about Una's mistress.
 And I've been firmly nailed down.
 You know, Una, I'm not such a mistress.
No, no, no, I don't mind.
 That's why I care!

 It's something of a day.
 So it was like this all the way through the morning and all the way through the night, and that's why I didn't get a proper job.

 The next day.
 After a day, the people around me seemed to have calmed down, as expected.
Congratulations, my lord.
 And everyone at the town hall congratulated me every time we passed each other.
 It was very embarrassing.

 Meanwhile, just before noon, Erdena came to the lord's office.
 
 Again, on this day, we were only together until morning.
 I'm feeling a little embarrassed about this.

 Erdena explained to me the progress of the ceremony without showing the slightest hint of that.
 Already, the attendance is all there, and arrangements for meals and accommodations have been made.
 I've also finished what I need to do, including preparing for the day's speech that Eldena asked me to give.

 Erdena and I.
 I had to double-check for leaks.
 We both confirmed that we were okay.

Well this is the first time we've worked together, isn't it?
 Erdena blurted out.
I'm sorry, that was a weird thing to say.
 He said, and his face turned red.

 Even though I was trying to be calm.
 I knew Eldena would be embarrassed, too.
 I could feel that, and that made me feel somewhat relieved, too.

 Somehow, we were both laughing at each other.
Oh, my God, we're being presented with a lovebirds' marriage?
 Foldente walked into the room, giggling and tapping us on the shoulder.

 From such Foldente.
 I heard that guests from neighboring cities and the royal capital are already on their way to Liberty.
 I'm pretty fired up about it, too.

 Finally, tomorrow, the unveiling dinner is in full swing.
