Watashi No Hanayome's

46

Late afternoon (evening) day, 17:08

Right now I am in such a bad condition. "How dare you desecrate my daughter!!" (father of Emilia) Yup, Emilia's father was angry with me, and he was currently brandishing a golden sword that appeared out of nowhere right in my direction.

"Young, woy. That's right!!" At a time like this, I don't know what to do. If I fight back, but I can't do that, because he's Emilia's parents anyway. And I don't know what to do at a time like this.

"Darling, what are you doing?" (??) I heard a girl's voice right behind me.

I turned around and decided to see who it was. "Girl?" A beautiful girl was looking at us. 

Emilia ran towards the girl, and then hugged her. "Mother..." (Emilia)

"I-mom!!?" And it turns out, the shocking fact that the girl is Emilia's mother.

"Dear, what are you doing." Emilia's mother looked at Emilia's father with such a sharp gaze.

"I-this, it's nothing." Instantly the atmosphere returned to its original state, and the golden sword wielded by Emilia's father vanished.

"Emilia, you're back, does that mean you agreed to this engagement?"

I don't know why I feel like this conversation is going straight to the heart of the discussion. "N-no mom, I didn't come back for that."

"Then, for what? Not that I've given you time to think, is the time you give still lacking?"

"Not. I came back here, for..."

"For?"

"To refuse this engagement." 

"so. Then, have you chosen your partner?"

"If that..." Emilia pointed at me.

"so.."

"Huh? W-wait, something's wrong." (Father of Emilia)

"What's up, baby?"

"How could our family accept a boy like him."

Somehow Emilia's father's words felt pierced into my heart. "What did you say to papa!!" (Inori) Inori looks so angry that Emilia's father is cheating on me, and this is going to be very dangerous.

"I-Inori, calm yourself." I tried to calm Inori down.

"But.. But... The old man vilified papa.. Ahhh!!!" Inori crying.

"Well.. Thankfully I can prevent it." 

Emilia's mother then approached Inori. "Your name is Inori' right?"

"Y-yes.."

"Dear, what are you doing. Don't touch the mons..."

"Darling, you can shut up for a second." Somehow I felt a great energy radiate from Emilia's mother and it gave me goosebumps.

"Good." It doesn't seem like I'm the only one who feels that way, Emilia's father is too.

"Inori, why are you sad?" Emilia's mother's tone was so gentle as she spoke to Inori.

"O-the old man.. The old man mocked papa.."

"Don't be sad anymore..."

"B-but. 'hiks hyks'" Inori is still questioning.

"Later I'll punish him, how?"

"D-yes."

"Then, don't doubt it anymore."

"Good.." Just as Emilia's mother had said, Inori stopped acting.

Grrr. (inori's stomach sounds)

"Inori, are you hungry?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Then, how about you eat first."

"Can I?"

"Of course."

"What mama Rin, mama Emilia and papa will eat too."

"Yes, they can come too." Then, Emilia's mother held Inori's hand. "Come on." Emilia and Inori's mother walked towards the dining room. "All of you, let's hurry up, don't just stand there."

"Good." We followed what Emilia's mother said.

-------- A few minutes later -----------------

[Dining room ]

"Neck!!" (Inori)

"True." (Mother Emilia)

"Hm.." Inori ate the food already provided by the servants.

------- A few moments later --------------

"So, when are you going to propose to my son?"

"Ukhs.." I was shocked to hear what Emilia's mother said, and I almost spouted this food that I was eating. "Huhuh? I-i mean?"

"Mom don't talk about it.."

"What's up Emilia, mom just wants the best for mom's daughter."

I don't know why this conversation is leading to something more serious. "Wait waiting.. What are you talking about, baby?" Emilia's father cut off the conversation of the two of them.

"It's not like you said yourself that if Emilia had found a suitable partner, you would have approved of her, right?"

"Are I saying that once?"

"Of course, when Emilia left this kingdom, you told me that if Emilia had come back with a man, and if that man was Emilia's chosen mate, it would have been Emilia, you're gonna call off the engagement you've been preparing for. Isn't that right, honey." Somehow Emilia's mother said that while looking deeply into Emilia's father's eyes.

"Y-yes, that's how it is."

"So, Hiroaki. When are you going to propose to our daughter?"

"Mom's done it." Emilia's face turned red, and I don't know what to say at a time like this.

"B-but, I-I.."

"I know. You have 2 more couples in your kingdom, right."

"W-how do you know?" I was quite surprised that Emilia's mother knew something that I hadn't even discussed.

"What!!!" (father Emilia) Yes, I think it's natural to know that I have more than 1 partner.

"What's up, baby? Didn't you plan to do the same?"

"That-that's.."

"The same thing?" (By)

"Yes, Emilia's father once tried to find another partner. But, since I don't like it, I decided I'd punish him when he did something I thought was wrong."

"Ehhh.." I just found out that Emilia's dad used to be like that.

"But baby, instead of.."

"It looks like our daughter isn't bothered by it. Right, Emilia."

"...." - ".Emilia looked down and said nothing.

"Then it has been decided. Your marriage will be held in 10 days in this kingdom."

"Ehh?? Eeeee!!!!"

--------- 9 days later -------------------- 9 days later

In the morning, 10:03

[ Room ]

"Huh.." Right now I'm lying on my bed, but not mine but a guest bed. "Tomorrow, yeah." I was not given permission to return to my kingdom, nor could I undo this greed.

Today was the last day before my marriage to Emilia, but the problem was why Rin was not visibly interfered with it. The last few days I've seen Rin so happy, I don't know why.  But he seems to know that I am getting married. "Huh.. Thinking about this made my head woozy. I'd better take a walk."

Because I'm in the kingdom of Emilia's parents. "I'd better take advantage of this opportunity to look for materials that can make my kingdom even more developed."

 --------- In the city --------------- in the city

In the morning, 10:45

Since this kingdom is not big enough, it only took me about 30 minutes to reach the urban area. "Bahh.. So this is the city in this kingdom." As I looked around, I felt that there was only a slight difference between my kingdom as well as this kingdom. That is only in terms of size, while other things are almost the same. But even so, somehow that's what makes this kingdom interesting, I think.

I just realized that people are preparing to celebrate tomorrow's wedding, they decorate the streets, and their houses with beautiful flowers. It's exactly what I've seen before, but right now it's my wedding.

"Huh.. Can I take care of a family at this young age, yeah." Actually that's what I'm worried about. 

"At least you should try first, right."

An unfamiliar voice sounded in my head. "*God Sha, where have you been?"

"What's wrong, do you miss me?"

"No.."

"Then, what's up?"

"God Sha, there's something I want to ask you."

"What, just ask. I'll answer that."

"A few days ago, I dreamed of meeting my mother."

"So you've met him, yes."

"God Sha, don't-don't..."

"Yes, I just wanted to give you a little present, after all your mother said that she wanted to see you for a while, and that made me a little tired. Therefore, I rested for a few days."

"Bagitu, yeah. Lord Sha, thank you."

"Yes. You better get ready for tomorrow. Tomorrow is a very important day for you and also it can affect your future."

"My future?"

"Then, I'll see you tomorrow*." (close telepathy)

------- Hours later ----------------

Afternoon, 17:24

It was getting darker and starting earlier I just sat down silently to understand what the god Sha said. "Well.. It's complicated." In the end I don't know what the god Sha really wants to say. "I'd better be right back." Since they've been gone all day, they must be worried about me, maybe.

---- After a long enough walk ---------- after

[In the palace ]

Late afternoon (evening) day, 18:44

Everyone inside this palace is busy preparing for the event for tomorrow. "Nobody seems to worry about me even if I leave the room."

I walked back to my room and took a break, and just as I wanted to leave. "Sia, Lia, Ai. How did you guys get here?"

"I don't know, we were just told to get on the horse-drawn carriage and suddenly we were brought here." (That)

"W-what about the royal duties?"

"If that's all you'll take it easy." (emilia's mother) Suddenly Emilia's mother cuts off our conversation. "I've sent experts and trusted people to take care of your kingdom temporarily."

"uh? W-wait a minute, how can I hand over my royal duties to a stranger. It's a royal duty that I have to handle myself."

"Then, why did you give that job to your partners if it was your job?"

"That-that's..."

"What's wrong?"

"Huh, okay." I honestly don't know what to do to complete the royal task, and I think doing such a job is very boring.

"Then, you should all get some rest as the show will start tomorrow night. I don't want to see anyone not excited for tomorrow's show."

Since I didn't want to hear anything more, I decided to go back to the room, and get some rest.

At night, 12:00

"Oahhh!! I can't sleep!!" Even though Emilia's mother told me to rest, I couldn't rest in that noisy voice.

I decided to cover my ears with a pillow so I could not hear any sound.

--------------------

In the morning, 08:44

"Father, wake up."

I slowly opened my eyes. "Inori, let papa sleep for a while.." I couldn't sleep well and I could only sleep for a few hours, so I was very sleepy today, and I wanted to sleep longer.

"Then~.."

I felt that Inori was not bothering me anymore, and since I was already so exhausted, I decided to go back to sleep.

--------- Hours later -------------------

Afternoon, 15:23

I opened my eyes. "Hooaamm-chan.. I think I've had enough sleep." My sleepiness is gone, I feel refreshed. "Huh, it's late afternoon?" I don't know if I slept too long, or even this was too long. 

When I wanted to get out of my bed, right beside me I saw Inori who was sleeping soundly. "I-Inories.." I don't know, but it looks like she's sleeping with me this morning.

"Inor..." I tried to wake her up, but since Inori looked exhausted I let her. "Here you go, I'd better take a shower first."

----------- After finishing the bath ----------------------- after the shower

"Hoaayam.." Inori woke up from her sleep.

"You've woken Inori."

"Papa.. Morning."

"Y-yeah.." I don't know what to say, but it's late afternoon.

Sfx: stomach noise.

I heard a voice, and surely it was the stomach of a starving man."Inori, are you hungry?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Then, let's eat together."

"Good." We also walked to the dining room, and still in the same state, the palace was full of people who were preparing for the evening.

-------- A few minutes later ----------------

[Dining room ]

Right now, I am eating with Inori and strangely enough, from now on I did not see Rin or anything else. "Inori, do you know where your mama is?"

"Mama? Just before going to papa's room, I saw mama Rin and mama Emilia coming with grandma."

"grandmother?" What Inori meant was Emilia's mother. "So, yeah."

"The future, yes." I don't know why I'm still thinking about what Sha said to me yesterday.

"What's up, pa?"

"There's nothing."

-------- A few minutes later -----------------

We finished eating. "Papa, I'm going to find mama first."

"Yes." Yeah." Inori left, and in this dining room there was only me. "Huh, the boss." Back, this boredom haunts me. "What do I have to do to make this boredom disappear."

At night, 19:00

[ Decorative Room ]

"Well, you look good now. Look at the glass." (Mother Emilia)

"Haa, fine." Emilia's mother is currently dressing me up, and somehow she really wants to dress me up. 

I looked towards the glass. "How, don't you look handsome."

"Y-yes." I don't know what to say, I think Emilia's mom is quite good at doing things like this.

"From now on, you'll be my daughter-in-law, and right now you can call me mother. (smile)"

"B-well, i-mom." Even so, with her appearance that looks so young, she does not deserve to be called a mother.

"(hugging me) From now on, please take care of my daughter, yes."

"Good." 

Gubrakk.

"Mother!!" The door opened quite hard and I saw a girl I had never seen coming over to us.

"Elliy, you're back."

"ee? Who's she?"

"She, she's my daughter and Emilia's sister, Elliy."

"Mom, why didn't you tell me about this!!"

"You mean this marriage. I don't think something like this should be told to you, after all you'll travel a lot with Shu, so I don't want to bother you."

When Emilia's mother said Shu's name, I somehow felt something. "That's because I get assignments often."

"Oh yeah, where's Shu? You didn't see her?"

"He came back, he said he was afraid to meet with me."

"Oh, yeah." I don't know why I feel like I know why Shu didn't want to meet Emilia's father. "You better get ready soon, the ceremony's gonna start in a minute."

"Good." Elliy's gone.

----- A few minutes later ----------

"Done. Now you can go, I'll be with you."

"Thank you." I feel a little weird. "Not the groom will usually be accompanied by.." After I thought like that, I remembered that I came to this world only with Rin, and during the marriage ceremony the parents were obliged to cool down the bride and groom. And I think Emilia's mother already knew about it, and I felt moved because Emilia's mother wanted to take my meds. "Thank you~.. (slow voice)"

"uh? What's up?"

"There's nothing."

"Then, come on." Emilia's mother walked right beside me.

-------- A few minutes passed ----------------

I arrived at a special place that was provided. "Let's go in." Emilia's mother opened the door.

"The groom has come." (??)

And when I look inside. "Woy, woy, woy.. Just be right!! Did I not see wrong?"

"What's wrong, are you scared? Take it easy, mom's right next to you."

"Not that. But why could it be like this. They're 4." 4, yup. Four brides were waiting, and I knew them all very well. Rin, Emilia, Sia, and Ai. The four of them are waiting for me.

"Let's hurry, the guests are waiting for you." Emilia's mother pulled my hand and forced me to go up to the four of them.

"How can it be like this!! W-do I have to marry them all at once."

"W-what's going on here?" I tried to ask the priest who was right next to me.

"Okay, we'll start the ceremony."

"Woy, he's ignoring me."

"Representative of the male intercessor, please come forward." (priest)

After hearing that, a bit of sadness appeared. That's because I never imagined at all that the representative of the groom would also have to participate. And since this is another world, I can only give up. "Sorry late, I'm the representative of the groom." (God Sha) 

"God Sha.." I feel good because Lord Sha came at the right time.

Lord Sha came straight for me. "Sorry late, I'm having enough trouble choosing the clothes I'm going to wear."

Though he was a god, but he could still be confused by something like this. "*God Sha, thank you."

"Don't thank me, I came here because your mother asked me to be her representative."

"That's it, ya*."

"Okay, then. We start the ceremony." (god Sha)
