Chapter 191: Alicia's Crush...Huh? 1
Translated by AmaLynne
“Hey? Lise-sama, you’re still awake?”
Sam, who had finished his training with Hanae and Mizuki and had taken a bath, returned to his room. There, he found Lise sitting up in bed, wearing her nightgown with a cardigan draped over it, ready to receive him.
“Oh, yes, there’s something I wanted to talk to you about.”
“Talk? What is it?”
“It might be a bit of a difficult conversation. Come and sit next to me.”
Lise gestured for him to join her, and Sam took a seat on the bed.
“By the way, what happened to Hanae and the others?”
“They’re taking a break since they worked up a sweat. I mean, seriously, during our sparring match, even though it was just practice, they came at me with everything they had. I thought I was going to die.”
During his recent battle with Kurando Amemiya, Sam had fought with all his might.
Although there were still many magical abilities he hadn’t revealed, he had given it his all at that moment.
As a result, he had overwhelmed the country’s top swordsman.
Seeing Sam’s full strength, Hanae and Mizuki, who were witnessing it firsthand, didn’t hold back when sparring with him.
They probably wanted to bring out Sam’s full potential.
However, since Sam was training them in close combat, he used magic sparingly.
They were trying to push Sam to use his magic by cornering him during their sparring sessions.
“Haha, Hanae and Mizuki are both competitive, aren’t they? They want to challenge you at your best.”
“Hahaha, they sure do.”
“Anyway, back to the main topic.”
“Yes?”
“What do you think about Alicia?”
Sam tilted his head in confusion as to why Lise was suddenly asking about Alicia.
He couldn’t quite grasp her intentions.
“Hmm? You mean Alicia-sama?”
“Yes, I want to know what you think of her.”
“I think she’s a wonderful person. You can tell she’s good from the way she gets along with the baby dragons. She’s kind. Although I was surprised by her overly energetic side. Recently, she’s been inviting baby dragons into her room and living together with them. The Flame Dragon still hasn’t returned for some reason, so the kids are delighted.”
“That’s true. I never knew she had such a lively side.”
Lise’s interest in Alicia’s character seemed to be genuine, but Sam couldn’t help but wonder why she was asking about her.
Both of them exchanged wry smiles.
They had initially thought of Alicia as a shy and introverted girl, but she also dared to take walks on the backs of dragons.
Sam had no trouble interacting with the Flame Dragon family, given his combat skills, but Alicia was different.
Sam understood how courageous it was for a girl without combat abilities to get along with dragons that possessed overwhelming power over humans.
“Moreover, she’s quite knowledgeable because she reads a lot of books. I heard she’s also an excellent student at school, so she’s truly remarkable. Above all, we have great conversations. I also love stories, so we’ve been getting excited discussing popular books lately.”
While taking care of the baby dragons, Sam enjoyed having various conversations with Alicia.
Initially, she had kept her distance from him because she was uncomfortable around men, but now they were close.
He looked forward to spending time with her.
“I see. So, Sam, you like Alicia.”
“Of course. There’s no way I could dislike Alicia-sama.”
“I understand. I’m relieved to hear your feelings.”
“Relieved? What do you mean?”
Sam was perplexed, not quite grasping Lise’s intentions. Lise, with a satisfied expression, then spoke.
“Sam, let’s welcome Alicia as your wife.”
“Huh?”
“Technically, it’s still just an engagement, but like us, she’ll be your…”
“W-Wait a minute. What do you mean?”
Sam was utterly bewildered by why Lise suddenly wanted to make Alicia his fiancée.
“Why? Don’t you like Alicia?”
“Well, yes, but not in that sense. Besides, isn’t there talk of a marriage proposal for Alicia-sama? Well, she doesn’t seem very enthusiastic about it herself.”
“She’s not enthusiastic about it because she has someone she likes.”
“Oh, I see. So, with that person…”
Sam wondered who the person Alicia liked might be.
It had to be someone she had feelings for.
.
Someone kind.
“It’s you.”
“Huh?”
“Alicia likes you, Sam.”
“Wha…?”?
Upon hearing the word “likes” from Lise, Sam couldn’t believe his ears and responded with a dumbfounded voice.
