I Don’t Want To Be the Main Character

128. The meeting of the century (2)

1.

“Sister, there’s also a saying that if you can’t avoid it, enjoy it.”

“It’s because it’s gotten to the point where I can’t enjoy it even if I want to….”

Serilla weakly responded to Ludrick’s irresponsible words.

Serilla now had no energy left to get angry. This was already too far out of her league to handle, and more than anything, when things that were out of the ordinary kept happening, it was more normal to react like her.

It was hard enough to handle my younger brother suddenly declaring that he would marry five people, but seeing the faces of his brides made me feel dizzy, not just dizzy.

What was even scarier was that this was just the beginning.

Serilla, who only had one younger brother, suddenly had five older siblings, and even had a princess and a dragon as her older siblings, muttered helplessly, touching her forehead.

“…Where on earth did things start to turn out like this?”

I felt quite resentful, wondering what sin she must have committed in her past life to deserve such an ordeal.

If you go against common sense, you will receive strange looks from other people, but if you openly go against it completely, people will look at you with anticipation, wondering what you are thinking.

“Did you find comfort in Serilla’s reaction?” asked Ludrick with a calm expression.

“I don’t think Mom will sell it on the family register, right?”

“I don’t think that will happen, but…….”

“Then that’s fine. As long as it’s not on the family register, I’m satisfied with that.”

“At least you were aware of it.”

“of course.”

Conversation went back and forth.

Ludrick found solace, but the problem was that Serilla was not like that at all.

My son, who had never thought of getting married and would just sit around the house learning magic even after he reached the right age to get married, suddenly rose to the position of court magician after moving to the capital. At first, Serilla was proud of Ludrick, but now, his son is trying to marry five people at the same time.

Until recently, it was a problem because he didn’t want to get married, but now he says he’s getting married, but he has five brides, so it’s a problem.

In this situation, how would he have reacted if he were Count Alin Weiss?

Serilla grimaced as she imagined her parents’ reactions, just as Ludrick had said.

“……I don’t know, but I don’t think it will get a good reaction.”

“You never know. Your son, who used to complain so much about not wanting to get married, found five brides. Wouldn’t you be happy to have five daughters-in-law?”

“Are you serious?”

“…….”

Serila stared at Ludrick, who was talking nonsense. And then, perhaps realizing belatedly that this was nonsense, Ludrick answered with silence.

Although it is said that too much is good for too little, isn’t there also a saying that too much is as bad as too little?

And of course, the more brides the better, the more the world perceives it, but it is not a case of too much being as bad as not enough.

Ludrick muttered belatedly.

“Even if you object, we’re still going to get married.”

“……I never intended to listen to you from the beginning, even if you told me to stop.”

“I told Arwen something.”

“What is it?”

Serilla asked, feeling interested. In her opinion, Ludrick, who was trying to marry all five of them because they all said they liked him, and the five of them who were trying to marry each other despite knowing the situation, were all in a state of deep ignorance.

Because the conversation that took place in that situation was structured in such a way that it was bound to naturally become interesting.

“What if your mother objects, saying you can’t do it until you get dirt in your eyes?” Arwen asked.

“So what did you say?”

“Then I answered that I was just throwing dirt in my mother’s eyes.”

“…….”

Then that’s it.

Serilla quickly looked at Ludrick with eyes that had lost interest. Of course, it was doubtful whether Ludrick would really throw dirt in Count Weiss’s eyes, but on the other hand, it was also proof that Ludrick’s will was strong.

A firm determination to get married no matter what, even if everyone in the family grits their teeth and opposes the marriage.

In fact, the brides were so splendid that there was no need to oppose or criticize them.

“I don’t know anymore.”

Serilla shook her head.

If this fact reached Count Weiss’s ears, it would cause quite a stir, but for the time being, Serilla planned to keep her eyes and ears closed.

2.

The eldest sister’s reaction could not be said to be good even in empty words, but it was a situation where she was already on the tiger’s back and could not be bitten.

That’s why I thought that if I was going to get hit anyway, I’d better get hit first, so I started going around to each person and asking for their opinions.

First up is the easiest Arwen.

“Arwen.”

“……What happened? Why are you lowering your voice like that?”

“Think about it. Elena is preparing for her wedding.”

“But……”

“Then shouldn’t we have a meeting with the parents before getting married?”

As usual, all the curtains in the room were drawn to block out the sunlight, and Arwen, who was leisurely rolling around like a cat, stopped moving as soon as she heard my words.

Then he returned to his human form, sat upright, and opened his mouth.

“If we follow the natural order, then that’s obviously right. Have you made up your mind?”

“I don’t know if there’s anything to be said for sure.”

“There has been a change of heart.”

Arwen was indeed sharp.

Arwen asked, staring at me clearly as if she had expected this.

“What happened?”

“……Actually, I’m on my way back from talking to my older sister.”

“Sister-in-law……”

Arwen’s expression hardened as soon as she mentioned her sister. I’m sure I confiscated about ten romance novels last time, but what kind of novels do you read that make you imagine such strange things?

He said this to reassure Arwen.

“It’s okay, my sister isn’t that kind of person.”

“…….”

“No, you’re saying you’re living with your in-laws? That’s not true. So why do you keep worrying about it?”

“still…….”

“But what is that?”

Arwen clicked her tongue, apparently she was too engrossed in the novel.

I’ll have to check later to see if the romance novel Arwen was reading was as ridiculous as a morning drama from her previous life.

In the first place, romance novels like that are for men like me in this world, not something Arwen would read.

Should I just assume that Arwen has peculiar tastes?

“Then I’ll assume you’re going.”

“……Are you going as a group?”

“Of course. Then you’re going to go alone and talk to my mother one-on-one? Go and give me your son! But there are four other brides besides me! I don’t know what my mother would say if you said that.”

“That, that won’t do!”

“Yeah, so if we’re going to go anyway, it’d be better if we all went together, right?”

After simply getting Arwen’s consent, he left the room, saying that he would understand that she was going.

Since there are not one or two but five people, it is a lot of work to visit each of them and notify them that we will be setting up a meeting.

The next place I headed to, tongue stuck out, was the boot camp.

Although Rasil, who was nominally the commander, was staying in the capital to check on and observe the training, as months had already passed, even this empty excuse was starting to wear thin.

The only places I can’t enter in the capital are a few places related to the royal family, and of course, if I wanted to go to the Navy’s boot camp, I could come and go whenever I wanted.

And as soon as I entered the training camp, I heard the sound of someone screaming from far away.

“The answer is evil! Unify! Roll to the left, do it!”

“evil!”

A place where young, green Asseys roll around like dogs, eating dirt and dust, to be reborn as soldiers.

And with the screams of the new recruits as the background, Rasil was leisurely lying on a sunbed, drinking a beverage, wearing sunglasses.

Anyway, since this is the very reason why Rasil is attached to the capital, I knew that Rasil would mostly come to the training camp when there was nothing special going on, but the timing was just right.

And Rasil, who had been staring at me from afar, took off his sunglasses and smiled brightly as soon as he saw me.

“Ludrick! What are you doing here? Did you come here because you wanted to see your sister? Even if you wanted to see her, you should have held back a bit. I’m working right now.”

“If I had known that the job would be just drinking a beverage while watching the trainees rolling around, I would have come a little earlier.”

“Hahaha, if you didn’t like that, you should’ve enlisted early. I guess it’s a privilege that naturally comes with being in a high position.”

“Phew… Anyway, Rasil, I have something to tell you.”

“What do you want to say? Is it important?”

Rasil tilted his head and asked again.

It’s an important topic.

“Meeting the parents.”

“…….”

Rasil’s expression, which had been calm until just a moment ago, hardened.

No, it seems like they all think that our mother is the Demon King waiting for us in the Demon King’s Castle. They all react the same way whenever we bring up the topic of meeting the parents.

“You know Elena is preparing for her wedding right now, right? She’s up all night planning it.”

“……I know that.”

“But are you going to have a wedding without even meeting the parents? Are you going to see my mom for the first time at the wedding hall?”

“ha…….”

Rasil closed his eyes tightly as if he had expected something to happen, and then let out a deep sigh.

No, did I say let’s go catch the Demon King or something…?

Why is the reaction like this?
