Chapter 113: Epilogue「Lively Daily Life」
Translated by AmaLynne
Sam, who had been approved to marry Lise, had come to Ur’s gravesite earlier that day to report the news.
He brought a cigar and whiskey, which he had been told Ur liked, and sat down in front of the grave site to talk to her.
「Ur, I’m going to marry Lise.」
He’s sure Ur would smile and say congratulations.
「I never thought I could love anyone but Ur, but I’ve met someone who loves me like this, and I can love her. It’s strange that it’s Ur’s sister, too.」
Sam thinks she’s smiling in heaven, saying,「Good grief you are.」
「I’ve earned the position of court wizard and the title of the most powerful wizard in the kingdom. I’d like to be the most powerful on the continent next, but unfortunately, I don’t know how to call myself the most powerful on the continent.」
Sam laughed in annoyance.
Unfortunately, being the strongest on the continent is not a title that can only be obtained by defeating Albert, who had been calling himself the strongest in the kingdom.
He need to be recognized by at least several countries or defeat the wizard who claimed to be the strongest on the continent at the moment, but Sam did not know who that strongest on the continent was.
「So I’m going to be a wizard here for a while, working for the Sky Kingdom and the Earls of Walker. I’m getting married, and I need to settle down a bit.」
The wind blew and caressed Sam and Ur’s tombstone.
Summer will be here soon.
When summer ends, Sam will be an adult.
「We’ll have a drink together in the fall. To tell you the truth, I like drinking a lot.」
With these words, Sam turned his back to the gravestone.
「I’ll be back.」
The wounds of losing her have not healed yet, but Sam has decided to move on.
He decided to walk with Lise.
That is why Sam will not stop.
He will live his life in a way that will not bring shame to his beloved mentor.
「Are you done?」
「Yes, I’ve said enough.」
Lise, who had come to visit the grave with us, called out.
After she had finished cleaning the grave, she took Sam to talk with Ur.
While she was talking to Ur, Lise stayed away and watched Sam’s back the whole time.
「I’m sure Sister Ur must have looked annoyed when she heard that Sam and I were engaged.」
「I’m sure she’s delighted.」
「I hope so.」
The two naturally held hands.
Thinking back, this was the first time he had time to cuddle with her outside like this.
「Would you like to go into town for a bit?」
「My, is that an invitation for a date?」
「Yes. Let’s go on a date like engaged couples. We can take a break from training once in a while.」
「I’m so glad. Let’s go!」
The two of them started walking toward the city.
The two of them were definitely lovers.
Then a tactless voice approached them.
「Sam! Lise!」
The familiar voice made them both look back in disgust, and there he was, the man who had ruined the start of their date.
「Hey! I see you’ve come to visit Ulrike’s grave too.」
He was a beautiful young man in his mid-twenties, dressed in a bright white suit.
He was a tall, slender man, and the suit suited him well, but it was too out of place.
「What kind of idiot in the world wears a white suit to a graveside service? Ah, it’s you.」
「It was just the right place. I was thinking of stopping by Count Walker’s later.」
「Why?」
「I heard you two got engaged.」
「That’s fast, isn’t it? This morning?」
「Heh. I’m informed about my beloved 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.」
「That’s scary!」
「If I may say so myself, Ulrike would be delighted.」
「Unexpectedly, you don’t say――except for Sister Ur.」
Lise interjects.
Certainly, Lise’s doubts are justified after being shown Günther’s infatuation with Ur.
He’s right to be angry at Sam for choosing someone other than Ur.
「Lise, I’m not that tactless. I’m sure Ulrike wouldn’t want Sam to be stuck with her forever. Congratulations, and I congratulate you.」
「Oh, well, thank you.」
「…unexpectedly, but yes, thank you.」
Günther was smiling and congratulating, but it was somewhat eerie, and he couldn’t honestly rejoice.
(No, since he was giving me his blessing, I should be thankful.)
That’s when Sam thought it.
「From now on, the three of us as a family are going to get along well together!」
「――Ha?」
「――Ahh?」
The one who uttered a puzzled voice was Sam, and the one who uttered a low voice with a dusky tone was Lise.
The two of them were looking at each other, but Günther spun his words as if he was singing.
「Fortunately, polygamy is allowed in this country. Well, I became Sam’s wife first, but I’ll give up my position as his wife to Lise. I’m not that brazen myself. Besides, my love for Sam is greater than hers.」
「Sam.」
「Y-Yes.」
Lise only called him by name, but he guessed what Lise was looking for.
Sam pulls out a wooden sword for Lise from the Item Box.
A moment later, Lise, holding the wooden sword that had somehow vanished from Sam’s hand, came up to Günther.
Then, she swung a blow with all her might.
However, Günther’s solid warding blocked it with no difficulty.
「――tsk.」
「Oh dear, what are you angry about, Lise? It’s not nice when wives don’t get along.」
「You, I want to cut you up so bad!」
「What a naughty girl. I’m worried that Sam will love you for being so petty.」
Günther’s incendiary remarks continued, whether unknowingly or intentionally, but Lise smiled and puffed out her chest triumphantly.
「Hmph! I’ve already spent a night with Sam and had him treat me well! Too bad!」
「Lise-sama! You’re too loud!」
What are you saying?, Sam panicked.
Günther, on the other hand, has sweat on his forehead and his body begins to shake, unable to hide his agitation.
「Ku, kukuku, I don’t care! I had a hustle with Ulrike and Sam last night in my dream!」
「No, you didn’t.」
「Heh. I hope you’re only dreaming at best. Sam is mine!」
Lise said and intertwined her arms with Sam, leaning in close to show him off.
Günther took out his handkerchief in frustration and started chewing on it.
「W-Wait a minute! There needs to be equal love there, or there will be discord in the family! Sam! It’s my turn tonight!」
「No!」
「Why?」
「What you mean why, you’re a man!」
「I’m not a man! I’m your wife! W―i―f―e.」
「Don’t be cute! What if Sam wants to do that?」
「I won’t!」
Sam’s shoulders slumped as he wondered if Lise trusted him.
「Oh, God! I was just getting into a good mood with Sam, and now you’ve ruined it!」
Lise’s cries echoed in the sky.
Sam felt that although her date with her beloved had been interrupted, it might be possible to have this kind of lively atmosphere.
Not that he intends to have anything to do with Günther.
(Well, I’m having fun every day, Ur)
Sam muttered in his mind, and he thought he heard Ur burst out laughing.
