My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World-Chapter 1255
Tilura called me brother-in-law
“Is that so…it kind of sounds fun. Ah, and everyone seems so happy today! Not just sister, but everyone! So something good must have happened!”
“Well, I suppose it was fun…”
Indeed, when I was heading towards the garden, I had noticed that the servants smiled as they passed me.
Also, Ms. Helena generally did not serve the food herself. But she had pushed the wagon and came out to greet me.
“Lady Tilura. Please excuse me… The truth is…”
“What is it, Sebastian? Oh…hmm…”
“I have a bad feeling about this…”
Realizing that I was not able to explain it clearly, Sebastian began to whisper to Tilura.
Tilura nodded, and Sebastian would occasionally glance towards me and Claire.
When he was done, Tilura smiled happily.
“Mr. Takumi! Is it true that you’re going to be my brother-in-law!?”
“Gah! What!?”
I nearly spat out my tea, and had to swallow it quickly.
“S-Sebastian…what did you tell her!?”
“Oh, me? I just related what I saw last night.”
“…You’re definitely lying.”
He wouldn’t have told her everything. Some of it was not good for a girl of her age to know about.
Besides, there was nothing about being a brother-in-law.
“All jokes aside, I told her about the present…and the meaning behind it. And Lady Claire’s reaction.”
Perhaps he told her that necklaces were connected to marriage proposals then.
Only, he said it in a way to make Tilura assume that I asked, and Claire accepted.
“While I didn’t know, I suppose it would look… Though, that would be very sudden…”
“Oh, but I thought it would be fun if you were my brother-in-law… Are you refusing then?”
“Is that so, Mr. Takumi!?”
Even Claire looked a little started as she turned to me.
Uh, it’s not that I haven’t thought about it. If everything went smoothly… Of course, it was a little too soon…
Again, I was not taking this light-heartedly or toying with her at all. I was not that kind of person. I just wanted to take time to understand my feelings.
“M-Mr. Takumi… So you do not see any kind of future with me…”
“N-no…I didn’t say…”
Claire looked away sadly.
And I had just recently sworn that I would never make her sad.
“Oh…”
“Right now…after we were able to talk and confirm our feelings…my heart is just so full. Also, we are about to embark on a great journey to Range Village. There is so much to do in getting the new home ready… And so we should take our time and think… But…”
“But…?”
“I…I am thinking about it! That eventually…we will continue…to always…be together!”
It was a rather round-about way of saying something. And there was no mention of marriage. Still, I wanted to say something.
“Mr. Takumi…”
Tilura and the servants were smiling and clapping their hands
Claire was still looking away, but I can see that her cheeks had gone red again.
Well, at least she wasn’t sad now…which was a relief.
