Chapter 155: Infidelity (?) and Response
[space_man][space_man]After finishing their meal, everyone returned to their respective rooms. Aleamia was also given a room in the S-rank adventurer area.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld was lying in bed, lost in thought. After rolling around on the bed for a while, he got up.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”I’m just going to Aleamia-sama’s place for a bit.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Saying that, he left the room.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Why is he going to Aleamia-sama’s place?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Who knows? Maybe he has something he wants to ask her?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Marie answered Moira’s question while reading a gossip magazine.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Hah! Could it be?! He couldn’t resist Aleamia-sama’s charm and went to attack her!?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”As his fiancée, isn’t that delusion a bit much? Besides, if he did that, it would be cheating. Is that okay with you, Moira?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira thought for a moment.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”I wouldn’t like cheating, but if he hid it well or even if he got caught and said something like 『You’re the best.』, I might forgive him~.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Sometimes I don’t understand Moira’s sexual preferences…… Besides, Eld probably isn’t interested in romance with a Goddess. Can you even have a romantic relationship with a Goddess in the first place?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Marie closed the gossip magazine in exasperation.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Huh, doesn’t Marie know? There are a few stories about Goddesses falling in love with humans and getting married.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Oh…… I didn’t know that.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Well then, let me tell you a few.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira pulled out a thick book from subspace.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”I’m not really interested, so it’s fine. Besides, I’m not good with other people’s love stories.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Is that so? Then why did you lie about Layla-san having marriage proposals and get involved?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”It’s not a big reason. I was told during my academy days that I should clarify my relationship with Eld. Because it wasn’t clear, Al kept looking at me.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Well, back then, I didn’t have any romantic feelings for Eld and didn’t think of him as more than a friend. I’m not sure how it looked from the outside, but what Layla said at that time was everything.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]So this time, it’s also a bit of revenge. Well, I didn’t expect her to be such a coward after saying that to me.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Marie sighed.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Hee~…… So when did you become aware of Eld?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Probably during the spring of our third year. I was talking to my grandmother about my future career path during the long break at the end of the school year, and the topic of marriage came up. Eld crossed my mind. After that, when I returned to the academy, I became strangely conscious of him.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Marie scratched her head shyly.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”So that’s how it was. I thought you were dating after Eld fell in love at first sight.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”It’s not like he confessed to me or anything. And I don’t think Eld fell in love at first sight either.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”I see~……Oh, right. Going back to the topic, what would Marie do if Eld cheated?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Let’s see…… I’d probably kill Eld and then kill myself.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira wanted to say that was heavy, too heavy, but she couldn’t.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Fufu, just kidding. Eld would never cheat.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Marie said that, but Moira was convinced that she would actually do it if that happened.
