“Phew…”

Indeed, it was a confession. I had this indescribable feeling, which gave me a hunch, but it still came as a surprise.

I went rigid for a full hour… at least that was how it felt. In reality, it was around five seconds.

“Oh, Our apologies. You are likely speechless since it was so sudden.”

Yes, I was certainly surprised.

“We were strongly captivated by your beauty from the beginning, Alim. It was like magic. Before We knew it, we had joined your fan-club.”

I-I see.
Beauty, huh…? I’m only interested in Mika, so I merely perceive myself as cute, but assuming he sees the same divine beauty in me that I see when I look at Mika… then that happens.

“And now… having eaten your cooking. The taste was undoubtedly divine… Leaving aside all those stuffy formalities, let Us simply tell you that We fell in love with you. Your captivation and Our affection for you… they intermingled, causing the feelings for you We had from the start to erupt…”

He kept talking, still in the same posture.
Is this how nobles and royalty confess to others? Hm~, that doesn’t fit with the image Mr. Ruin and Mr. Orgo give me, so it might just be him.

“I understand. There is about a ten-year gap between you and me, Alim… You’re likely also anxious.”

Now that he mentions it, he did say that he’s the same age as Mr. Uruto. In other words, between 22 and 23… And I’m 13.

For the public, this would undoubtedly scream ‘pedophile’! Well, with Mika’s and my popularity, this would describe many people in this world.

“Furthermore, while W may not marry you before you reach the age of 16, we could get engaged at your current age-”

16, huh…? Once I’m 16 in this world, I’ll marry Mika. I’m already happy with that. We can have kids once we’re in the middle of our twenties. Until that point, we’ll just enjoy our love-live, like we do now.

“-What are We saying? It is too early for such feelings… I-In any case, Alim Nariwei, We love you. What say you… won’t you accept Our proposal?”

Ah, I ended up thinking about Mika while he was confessing to me, and I completely missed what he was saying.

To begin with, I’m originally a boy, so I would never accept the confession of another man… As Alim, I may think that Shuu and others are handsome, but that’s as far as it goes.

I’ll refuse.

“Uhm… I’m sorry.” I told King Rama, who was looking at me full of anticipation. I did feel sorry.
“…We did not want to tempt you with physical things and neither did We want to appear haughty, but as Our wife, money, social standing, power, and fame would be yours. You would be a queen.”

He added that to his preface, and he had proven himself to be a nice guy, but… I could only shake my head.

“W-We see… you have these things already. As We feared… it was a poor idea to confess during our first meeting. It would appear we overreached…”

He looked rather disappointed. He had been serious, after all.

“Uhm… I’m really sorry.”
“No, it is fine. We should be the one to apologize for springing this on you so sudden. We wouldn’t mind giving it another try at some point. Sometime.”

Looks like he still hasn’t given up, so he leaves me no choice. I need to tell him how things really are… apart from the fact I’m male, obviously.

“Yes… but… this will be hard, as my heart already belongs to someone.”
“What!? There is someone else!?” King Rama shouted in surprise.

It wasn’t just him, Hanuman looked the same. On that note, King Mephilad and Tuhl also seemed startled for a moment, but after looking at Mika, they appeared to understand.

“Yes. Someone I’ve loved for a long time… someone who loves me, too.”
“To think there was someone like that… Could it be Prince Tuhl? Or maybe Prince Ruin…?”

Tuhl seemed surprised for an instant when his name came up¹.

I made eye contact with Mika. She nodded in agreement.

“Hm? Is something wrong, Mika? For you to suddenly leave your chair…” King Rama wondered.

Without giving him a reply, she came to my side. Then, I also stood up. The moment I was standing, she kissed me on my cheek.
…I didn’t intend it to go that far. Oh, well.

“Huh?”

It looked like the visitors from another country couldn’t make heads or tails of this. They seemed dumbfounded.

“Ah… well, that’s how it is.”

While scratching my cheek automatically, I put my hand on Mika’s shoulder. Ignoring said hand, she instead pulled me into an embrace.
…Did she get jealous from that conversation just now? How cute.

“I see… so, that’s how it is… Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!”

King Rama suddenly roared with laughter. It somehow felt like the laughter of a villain when they had lost.

“…Hah. In that case…”

Wh-What now? The atmosphere suddenly turned scary…!

1. The original has another sentence after this that doesn’t seem to make sense: まあ…男の人ではないよね -> “well, is not man, right?”. This might be an error and be intended as something like “well, if I wasn’t male, then…” or it means something that I can’t see.
