“Chapter 124: Feelings of Gratitude”

– wWWwwwWwwWwWELL, YEAH, I ENJOY YOUR COMPANY, b-but, this might be a bit too far for now, don’t you think!?

I took Meirir’s hand, which only worsened her confusion.

– Is that a ring? (Mike)

– Yes. It’s a gift to thank her for everything she’s done for us.

– You’re… marrying her? as a gift?

– …What? Marriage?

I gave Meirir a ring as a present. I tried to show my appreciation.

In fact, the ring is made to amplify the user’s magic powers, just like Mumuruu’s spear.

Meirir’s ability is so unique that it causes a considerable amount of physical and mental strain, so I wanted to help her however I could.

And a ring is what I came up with. It’s just an accessory to wear on her hand, so it shouldn’t get in her way when fighting.

But that’s it.

– Why did you think I was proposing?

– The receptionist girl said she wanted a ring to get married already.

Ah, Mitta. I’m not surprised.

But that does put this scenario into perspective.

I did just tell Meirir she’s special to me while giving her a ring.

– Uhh… I-

– That’s Takaya alright! You might look like the quiet kid in the back but you can be outrageous sometimes (Meirir)

– Please forget what I said! Though it would be nice if you wore the ring.

– Sure! Thank you! But please be more careful with how you express your gratitude.

– Right…

In retrospect, Letty must’ve felt like that too.

Speaking of Letty, she’s been sending me “status reports” about her duties in the demon world. Except lately they’ve turned more into love letters.

– On which finger of my left hand should I wear the ring?

– Left hand?

– Well, if I’m going to use it, might as well have it on my left hand~

I don’t know if there are any unique traditions in this world, but as far as I know, left hands are for engagement rings.

– You can choose the finger. I’ll accept your feelings anyway~

– …Meirir-san, is this your way of getting back at me?

– Oh? Whatever are you talking about, you silly, haha~

I firmly held both the ring and Meirir’s left hand.

– …

Her fingers are so beautiful that it’s hard to believe she fights with her fists.

Just to make it clear, I do have feelings for Meirir. Probably since the time she first saved me.

I don’t know if Meirir herself has noticed, but Roar and Dyke have made it clear how painfully obvious I am.

– Here I go…

Meirir’s fingers were trembling.

– …

– NOOOOOOO!!!!

I let go of Meirir’s hand as I heard a loud scream echo.

– Mumuruu!? What are you doing here!?

– Who cares!? What are YOU doing flirting with this girl when you have such a cute maid!?

How did she even know we were here? And isn’t she supposed to be at the guild?

– Aaahh, Mumuruu! They were at the best part!

– MITTA!? Were you watching us!?

– Not just us. Take a look at that table over there.

Rudra and the others were sitting at a table in the back.

They saw everything.

– Sorry, Meirir. I tried to stop them. (Feria)

– What? You were holding your breath the entire tim-GWOH!? (Dyke)

– At least now that you two are on good terms we can move on to our next matter. (Rudra)

– Hey! I’m not okay with this! (Mumuruu)

– I am. Try me. (Meirir)

– Oh I will! (Mumuruu)

Mumuruu is basically barking at Meirir, who doesn’t seem bothered by the demon.

– Hey, Rudra, what did you mean by “move on to the next matter”?

– Well, Searat has to move up in the ranks, and there happens to be an event for that coming up.

Rudra laid out a paper sheet on the table.

– The Guilds War, sponsored by the Royal Capital. It’s about time we show what we’re made of.
