Meeting With The Duke's Daughter

After exchanging the bodies of the monsters I defeated, I got a total of 200 gold coins.

As soon as I got the reward, I went to the place the Duke told me to go to.

"Welcome, Akatsuki-dono! Let's go inside!"

"Yes, thank you very much"

"Don't worry about it... I haven't even properly given you compensation yet"

"Don't worry about it... You don't really need to pay me for that"

"I insist! Not giving proper compensation to someone I am indebted is a disgrace for me!"

"I-I see... I will gladly accept it then..."

"Also, Akatsuki-dono... I have told you about marrying my daughter, right?"

"Yes, you did told me earlier"

"Let's go inside so you can meet her"

"Yes... Let's go"

We then went inside his mansion.

As he have instructed me to do, I sat on a chair inside a room.

After a few minutes, a girl entered the room. She wears a one piece dress. Her hair and eye color is the same as his father's which is red.

"A-Ano... I-I'm A-Akako R-Reidfeild desu... N-Nice to meet you desu!"

She said as she bowed several times.

"Nice to meet you... Um, can I call you Akako-chan?'

"I-If you want to, it's alright!"

"So... Akako-chan, come here and sit... Don't be nervous"

"I-I will try my best!"

"Yeah, do your best"

(? POV)
H-He is so handsome! I-I never thought that he would be this handsome!

As I am looking at Akako who is in front of me, I can feel that she is thinking about something as her face is getting red. Now that I got a closer look, Akako is pretty cute.

I then suddenly gave her a head pat.

"W-w-what are you doing, Akatsuki-sama?!"

"S-Sorry..."

"No! Um... How should I put this... You don't need to apologize... I was just surprised... That's all!"

"I see... Still, what were you thinking about earlier?"

"N-Nothing!"

"I see... So, um... About what your father said"

"Y-yes... He said that he wants me to marry you..."

"S-So... What can you say about that matter?"

"Well... I am not opposed..."

"E-eh?! Seriously?!"

"Y-Yes..."

"But, you should marry someone you love, right?"

"I-I know! It's alright because I already fell for you the moment I saw you!"

She said as if she is screaming. After she said that, she covered her face with her hands.

"Are you sure about what you are feeling, Akako-chan?"

"I-I am sure that I like you, Akatsuki-sama..."

"Well... I already have someone I like..."

"I-I already know that! E-Even so, please! I really want to marry you. Akatsuki-sama!"

I think I will have a hard time dealing with her...
