Chapter 63

Volume 2 Chapter 8 part2
It was the next morning .

The airship would depart at noon, but I had some free time until then, so I went sightseeing .

At any rate, it was easy for a distinct culture to thrive on a floating island .

The reason being that we had to use airships to go back and forth to other islands . At times, there were floating islands that didn’t have airships, so the people there built their own society by themselves .

There were also adventures set to discover such floating islands .

Though sometimes people with ill-intent would raid them .

No matter how much people tended to gloss over it, there were many adventurers who were wild .

Actually, I suppose I also destroyed some historical ruins in order to obtain Luxon back then .

I climbed up a stairway made of stone .

The gate and shrine I then saw were indeed reminiscent of Japan .

Since the floating island itself was styled after Japan, it made me feel as if I had stepped into a completely different world .

I spotted a shrine maiden cleaning the grounds .

She was an adorable shrine maiden who looked around ten years old .

“Hello . Is this the shrine for marriage?”

Once I asked that, the cute shrine maiden smiled and nodded her head .

“Yes . There’s a god of marriage . There’s also blessings for war and magic . ”

The god seemed appreciative of military personnel and magicians .

As I was heading towards the shrine to give my thanks, some people came by while I was talking with the shrine maiden .

“──Ah . ”

“So you’re here as well?”

“U, um . ”

While I could only let out a few syllables, Anjie looked at our faces while seeming troubled . It seemed she met Olivia below the stairway and then came up here .

The small shrine maiden greeted us with a smile .

“Ah, you’re the nobles from the academy . Um, do you know what to do?”

The cute shrine maiden politely proceeded to tell us what to do .

Ah~, this was soothing .

It was like it washed away all the outrageous things in this otome game world .

I came here to visit for that reason, but now the three of us were standing in front of an offertory box .

──This was awkward .

“W, we’re supposed to make an offering, right? How much?”

An embarrassed Anjie took out a gold coin from her purse .

Olivia looked at her .

“T, that much?”

“Is this not right? This much is normal in temples . ”

It was nice that temples were monotheistic, but didn’t reject other religions . I really did not want a religious war . This was the first time I thanked the lackluster setting for the world of that otome game .

While standing beside the two, I put in a roll of banknotes and some gold coins to repay for yesterday . Was I insane? I think not . In the game, paying a certain amount of money led to the protagonist’s likability with the capture target to drastically increase . Placing trust in such a blessing, I put in a great deal of money .

I only remembered it last night, and regretted that I hadn’t brought more money with me .

While the two were dumbfounded, I politely made my prayers .

“God, I won’t ask for anything luxurious . So please, please, let me have a wife! Please let me get married to a kind woman with good sense! I don’t want a woman who looks down on their husband and raises their child as if they’re a stranger . Please give me a suitable partner!”

My strong wish escaped from my mouth .

The two were shocked, but this was a very important matter for me .

Despite having done all I could, the results had gone awry and I had to suffer hardships, so please grant this wish to my pitiful self, god!

While I frantically prayed, Anjie and Olivia also began praying next to me .

As expected, they didn’t voice out their wishes .

I wondered what the two would wish for .

I had no clue about Anjie’s prayer, but it probably had to do with marriage since that was what the shrine was for . As for Olivia──I wondered if she would get closer with anyone other than the worthless Greg and Brad .

No wait, there was little hope . Since Julian and Jilk were useless as well, that left only Chris as a candidate .

──Whatever, as long as Olivia is happy, then anyone is fine .

I just wanted the country to be saved .

I returned to thinking about my wish .

“If possible, make her chest big, and a narrow waist would be nice as well . It would be even better if she was slightly frisky! Honestly, I want an amorous adult who can pamper me and──”

Listening to my prayer of unstoppable desire, Anjie and Olivia pulled me by the ears and dragged me out in embarrassment .

“Wait! I didn’t say everything yet! There’s still more I want to say!”

Anjie’s face was bright red .

“W, what are you saying in front of a child, you idiot?!”

The young shrine maiden’s face was red as well .

That was pretty cute though, wasn’t it? No, I didn’t mean that in a twisted sense . I just found it precious that a girl was so pure .

Pure enough that it made me embarrassed of my own desires .

Olivia apologized to the shrine maiden .

“I’m sorry . Please forget what you just heard . ”

“U, umm, it, it’s okay . I was a surprised at a lot of it, but do your best!”

Right! I would do my best . I would do my best at seeking marriage .

I waved my hand at the smiling shrine maiden, and we descended the stairway

Returning to the luxury liner, I watched us leave the floating island from the deck .

I took out my charm and examined it .

Luxon, perhaps having interest in it, voiced out to me .

[It seems like it goes around your neck . ]

“Say, do you think this thing is blessed?”

[It’s not a bad thing to rely on something for spiritual reassurance . You shouldn’t rely too much on it, though . ]

It didn’t deny the existence of gods, but it seemed that it didn’t believe that the charm would result in good luck either .

I put it around my neck and looked up at the summer-like sun, squinting my eyes .

“It’s hot . ”

[It seems so . Anyways, I’m a bit curious . ]

“About what?”

[Could it be that you didn’t actively tackle the dungeon because you didn’t have that charm yet? Are you expecting some game-like effect?]

“I, idiot, that’s not it . ”

[Is that so? I’ve had my suspicions since you were constantly pushing back the retrieval of that ‘Holy Bracelet’ . ]

“Y, you really are a distrustful thing . ”

To be honest, I hadn’t challenged the dungeon any more than I needed to, hoping for an effect from the charm . I was expecting a game-like effect, but I didn’t really know if it would become a reality .

This was a little embarrassing .

“It’s hard to get to where the bracelet is . It’s a tough place for even the upperclassmen . I need to make preparations for safely retrieving it . ”

[Is that so? I’m worried since you’re not doing it in a hurry . I’m curious about how you’re not rushing it despite the threat of Marie . ]

If Marie played the game, she wouldn’t do anything stupid .

Originally, conquering the dungeon was something that would happen during the third school term .

At that point, I would earn money through the dungeon until the middle of my second school year .

[All things considered, I thought I would be able to unveil ”Schwert”, which I had taken great pains to make . ]

“Did you just arbitrarily give a name to that air bike? You know, the owner of that thing is me . Actually, you called it Schwert, right? I suppose it’s fine since I like the name, but what meaning does it have?”

[Master, do you know about how air bikes are compared to a fish? They’re likened to them because they’re small compared to an airship . ]

“I’ve heard about that . What about it?”

[No, it’s nothing . Schwert means sword . ]

“Ain’t that nice! I like it even more . That air bike has a pointed tip, so I feel like it matches well . ”

[Erm, I was actually going for a swordfish analogy──never mind . ]

I admired the naming sense of this thing .

“At any rate, you must have done quite a bit of remodeling . Maybe you can make it a metallic color . ”

[Sounds good . Would you like there to be some blue mixed in? Even better, I can take the rudder and──never mind . ]

“I’ll entrust the coloring to you . ”

[Leave it to me . Also, Schwert is a like a restless, moody horse, making it hard to regulate . Master, handle it with care . ]

What?

Did this thing cherish the air bike after having named and modified it?

Come to think of it, it also cherished Partner quite a bit as well .

I better not say anything bad about Partner or Schwert .
