Huh, so Miss Parasuna is a rabbitkin. Now that she said it, her silver hair and red eyes certainly resemble those of a rabbit.

“And you also have Magic Master?”
“Yes, but points allocated in stats aren’t affected by being a beastfolk, so it’s no big problem. Regarding that, I mean.”

She had a point. The only difference between humans, beastfolk, and magical races (like elves) were their automatic stat increases with each level-up, so if they allocated all their stat points¹ to MP and spellpower, they could become spellcasters.

“Why did you keep your ears hidden until now?” Mika asked her. “I don’t see any issue with showing them.”
“Well, at this point, there should no longer be any issues, but until some time ago… two years to be precise, it was better to hide them. It’s a holdover from back then,” Uruto replied instead of Parasuna.
“After Uruto freed the slaves…” she continued his explanation, “or rather, after he took that former SSS-Ranker to task who’d been promoting severe discrimination and conducting slave trade, even though it should’ve been banned in the country, beastfolk can now walk around openly. Before that, it used to be horrible.”

I see, I’ve heard that during the slave liberation, Mr. Uruto severely beat up an SSS-Ranker who acted as the slavers’ leader. Had Mr. Uruto already been deemed an SSS-Ranker back then?

“So, that’s the reason, then?”
“Yes… On that note, Uruto apparently did it half because of me. He went completely overboard,” Parasuna replied, while showing just a tiny smile as she gave him a sideways glance.
“Then, why did you become Lastman, Mr. Uruto?” Mika asked.

It was certainly a mystery why he’d chosen the appearance of an old superhero. When he crossed his arms in a ten o’ clock position, it looked as if he’d shoot out light beams.

“Right, that. I wore that outfit when I took down the SSS-Rank ringleader. I’m not sure if it struck a chord with others, but for whatever reason, the outfit got popular… Well, we also don’t want people come to the inn just to mess with us, so I use it during my activities to hide my true identity.”

Oh, that’s a surprisingly normal reason. In that case, his costume might be similar to what luchador wrestlers wear.

At any rate, I had heard what I needed to hear.

“…Everything’s clear, then. In accordance with your request, I’ll prepare these things within a month.”
“Thank you! That really helps us out!” Uruto smiled happily.

Parasuna was also still smiling.

A wedding was truly important, you usually thought of it as a once-in-a-lifetime occasion.

“Then shall we go back home?”
“Let’s.”

My future wife and I stood up.

“Thanks again for coming and listening to our request.”
“Not at all! Let’s see, for the time being… I’ll give you a status update one week from now, alright?”
“Please do.”

While being seen off by the prospective bride and groom, we left the “Hikari” inn.

“”We’re home~!”” the two of us shouted as we got back to the mansion.

Kanata and the other send us [Welcome back] messages in reply. After seeing those, we went straight to our room.

“Phew… that’s nice, getting married,” Mika muttered, right after entering the room and diving onto the bed.
“We should also get married as soon as we’re old enough.”
“Yeah! So, Ayumu, what are you thinking about right now? If you ask me, the wedding dress is the most important part!”

I’d certainly have to think long and hard about how to make the dress. I thought I’d be bored out of my mind for the next few days, but now I could study up on dresses to pass the time.

“At this point, I’ll still have to come up with a design.”
“Now that you mention it, in the past, I’d never have expected words like ‘thinking about the design’ to come out of your mouth, Ayumu. At this point, you pay a lot of attention to how things look when you make weapons and armor.”

She was not wrong about that. In the past, I never tried to design something… I mean, I didn’t even draw pictures, but now I was about to seriously study up about it. You never knew what people made of themselves.

“What are you planning to become on Earth in the future? Currently, I mean.”
“Hm? Well, I haven’t really thought about it.”
“I see. Oh, I’m sure you guessed that already, but I’ll obviously become your housewife!”
“Ha-ha-ha, you sure will.”

For now, I interrupted my train of thought and dove onto the bed like Mika. When I did that, she snuggled up to me and stroked my head.

“You’re no longer bored?”
“No, I’m not. I completely forgot about it.”

Well, at this point, I no longer have the time to be bored. There’s my normal work, too. Those days will probably be more fulfilled than expected.
