One Day I Became a Burikko Villainess Noble Girl, . Honto tutorial .

Think of it as throwing money at the author and Alphapolis, and getting a book with squiggles and pretty pictures as a pleasant extra.

nHyauu-I-, I said I was sorry. The arm that I tried to tear him off with got caught instead, and I got pulled towards him.

Honestly. You never think, Camille.

Uu But I mean, you wouldnt think that that kind of thing would be set up in that kind of place, right!? The magic material used for that trap is super rare, you know? The materials are all rare minerals native to Topageria after all, and even in Garnet basically the only items that use it are the jails in the castle.

And so, you jumped in, huh?

Achille gave a sigh. His beautiful face was tinged with unhappiness.

Achille and I have currently returned to the castle. After we gave a general report to Royce-sama, we borrowed one of the guests rooms at the castle for resting. The other magicians were given their own rooms as gratitude as well. For some reason only Achille and I were given the same room, but Geez, Royce-sama, it wouldve be fine even if you werent this considerate about this.

Its quite a better room than the break rooms in the Magic Building. The walls are cream coloured, and the floor is made of wood. Its decorated with calming furnishings. Its fully equipped with a sofa, and a desk, and a bed prepared too. It might be a room for use by foreign guests or something.

Camille, you arent tired? It was a pretty difficult expedition, wasnt it?

For some reason Achille didnt lecture me today. His frank opinion regarding the expedition was limited to just the questions just now Just whats going on? And I get the feeling that for a while now, hes been casually closing the distance between us. Lately Achille has been really indiscriminate with the time and place. Even in the reclaimed town, I had various things done to me, but Being unable to stand like that was a first for me.

It really is too worrying, so I really dont think I can leave you be anymore.

Next to me, Achille muttered that with a grave expression. While clad in an atmosphere of unrest

Camille.

In a sweet tone, Achille gently called out to me.

W-, What?

Achille preciously played with my hair with both hands. I really do think Im being treasured by him. Hes always been a good guy, but we got engaged, and ended up in a reciprocal relationship the longer were together, and with each of these events, he gets sweeter with me. And while I was reflected in Achilles two cobalt eyes, he asked me seriously,

Marry me?

Hah?

Just now, what? Achille raised his two hands to my face with its stupid expression.

Eh-? Ehhh-?

Just now, it couldnt have been, a proposal?

Camille, your reply?

Achille asked me for my reply with a smile, and looking at his eyes, I couldnt tell what he was thinking.

I mean, well, I have to ask Otousama and stuff as well, so

Already got his blessing.

B-, But your family too

No problems there either.

Royce-sama

He said hed be wishing for our happiness with all his heart.

..*

I actually intended for us to get married after we graduated from school. But weve withdrawn from school like this, and we probably wont be able to graduate either, so we can have it now, right? Ive already waited plenty after all.

Achille?

I decided that after we came back from reclaiming the town, Id properly tell this to you After this theres my job at the castle, and Ill be busy with dealing with the villa too, so I thought that there was no time but now.

Right, it seems that even after Achilles back at the castle, he still has a lot of work to do. On top of that, because of the effect of extremists, theres the matter of their territory to deal with as well. Thats being taken care of by the family head Soleil, but as youd expect, theres probably no way that Achille doesnt need to help out I wonder whats going on with the eldest son, Dominique. Achille didnt mention his name even once, huhh.

And so, your reply?

He peered in one my face at close range.

Uu

Do you, dislike me?

Of course I dont dislike you.

Even though he gets it already the reason that Im hesitating with my reply.

Why, is he asking now? Why is Achille this rushed? We all have our hands full with the extremist incident right now. Even though it would have been fine for us just to do it after this incident calmed down.

I see. Then youll agree, right?

Eh-, ah- B-, But,

Achille quietly smiled. It kinda feels like Im making a fuss on my own.

Give me your hand?

Umm, um Achille?

For some reason, Achille was being pushy.

Hurry.

YESH!

Uuu, is this because weve been together all these years? I obediently listen to his every word now. You might even say its already a conditioned reflex. Just as I was told, I placed my hand on Achilles palm like a dog.

Taking something out from his pocket, he took my left hand, and put something on my ring finger.

Mn?

That sparkly thing is

A ring?

I didnt give you one when we got engaged, after all.

Is this one of those wedding rings? Its my first time seeing one. In the center of the thin ring with delicate decorations shone a pretty stone. After having a good look at the ring, I tried to take it off my ring ringer but,

Huh? I cant take it off.

Even when I pulled at it, the ring wouldnt move. Even though its not as if the ring is all that tight. The ring fits it just right. I dont recall telling Achille my size, though I dont really know the size of my fingers after all.

Its enchanted so that nobody except me can take it off.

That sounds like something youd find on a cursed item You often find that those type of items cant be taken off by the wearer.

Through the ring, I can confirm your location and status at any time. Even if something happen, Ill be able to immediately tell.

Thats like, a GPS from my old world, isnt it And moreover, to be able to even tell your partners status is I wonder if he was thinking that if I collapse from mana exhaustion, he could go and collect me.

A-, Achille. No matter what, this is too

If I wear something like this, wont my actions be hugely limited? I wont be able to do anything rash

Youve managed to cause some sort of problem every single time, so just the worry alone feels like itll burn a hole through my stomach.

Uuu-! S-, Sorry

So, wear this.

Being told that, its hard to refuse.

Even if I wanted to take it off, I cant, you know?

Its crafted so that it cant be taken off, but I get the feeling that if its you, youll be able to take it off before long

Achille said that the ring was crafted. Craftmanship of a level that cant be undone even with my magic Could it be

Is this something you made yourself, Achille?

Thats right. It took me two years to make it, and I used magic to add various enchantments to it. It even covers magic tattoos bypasses.

Amazing!

Hes too skilled. But once you consider that, then this ring is quite a precious magic item, isnt it. Theres never been an item with this many enchantments on the market before. Its enough that it makes me wonder if its alright to wear this. Long live magic items! (traps excluded, though)

Achille, what if you became a magic item craftsman? Even though you have this much talent for it.

If I get fired from my job at the castle, I might think about it. Well, lets leave that topic aside for now.

Mn?

Wont you marry me?

Uu

Were back on topic. His way of doing things is overbearing, but it looks like unlike the time with the engagement, he isnt thinking of unilaterally advancing things. Hes making sure to get my reply.

Ill always treasure you. Ill properly do the work of your marquis family, and Ill get along with your father and the servants too.

Hey, why are you asking now?

Because its now. I want to become your husband even a little faster, and the truth is, even when we were going to school, I was always enduring

Achille, probably isnt lying. The words just now were unmistakably his real feelings. But, I get the feeling that it isnt the whole picture. Its the season for the proposal too

But Im definitely not unhappy about him formally proposing to me. It made me purely happy. I dont know what Achilles intent is, but he wont do anything that would hurt me. I can trust in that. So I thought that I would just obediently accept his proposal. My mouth moved naturally.

Okay.

Even though he was the one who suggested it, Achilles cobalt eyes widened in shock for an instant. He immediately fixed his posture, and an expression of composure returned to him though Realising that I had been intently observing him, to avoid the issue he gave me a tight hug, so I couldnt see his face anymore.

Could it be that Royce-sama lent us this room so that Achille could propose? Only now, did I finally notice that fact.

If before the town reclaimation I had Achille say

When this battle is over, lets get married.

or something like that, it seemed like hed raise a death flag, so I decided against it (laughs)

tl note: Achille preciously played with my hair with both hands. He was wrapping the hair around his fingers, you see.
