#Side Story Cradling Harem Marriage Strategy (4)
“Oh… ….”
Yuni looked at her surroundings and let out a small exclamation.
Rudy smiled as he looked at Uni.
“You’ve been so busy these days that you haven’t been able to go out, right?”
Rie opened her mouth and looked around her.
“Now, let’s wrap the skewers! “Eat and go!”
“An essential part of the festival…… !”
“Hey bro! “Eat this and go!”
Lots of people and noisy streets.
Numerous stores spread out on the street.
It was truly a festival scene.
“There is still some time left for the coronation ceremony… ….”
“I didn’t know, but they said the atmosphere was like this for almost a month.”
The emperor’s coronation ceremony was the biggest event in the empire.
An imperial event held approximately every 50 to 60 years.
For a month, people from all over the country gather in the capital to see the emperor’s coronation ceremony in person.
This is an event that can only be seen once in a lifetime, so people left work behind and came to enjoy the festival.
“Everyone is gathering to congratulate you on becoming emperor, but you have to enjoy it.”
Rudy couldn’t see her expression clearly because she was wearing a mask, but she seemed to be smiling.
“But, if you dress like this at a festival, won’t you be suspicious?”
Rie asked, patting her clothes and mask.
“Since many people gather from all over the region, something suspicious like this is not treated as suspicious.”
This is a place where many people from all over the region gather.
Because the culture is different in each region, the clothes are also different, so people around me didn’t care if I wore a mask or hood.
Rudy grabbed the wrists of Yuni and Rie on either side.
“Huh?”
“Senior?”
Rudy said, holding both wrists and leading them.
“Then shall we play?”
Rie and Yuni were led by Rudy into the crowd.
Nevertheless, Rudy was holding his wrist tightly, so he did not fall apart.
“Senior! “Let’s go see that!”
“Okay. Let’s go.”
Yuni quickly adapted to that situation.
I looked around the stores here and there, and slowly started dragging Rudy and Rie around.
“Wow! Look over there!”
“Yes, yes. Excuse me?”
Yuni dragged Rudy and Rie along and went to the souvenir shop spread out on the street.
“Oh my! Get well! “Is there anything you want?”
When the merchant welcomed Yuni, she smiled and looked at the souvenirs spread out on the mat.
And then he said.
“Give me everything here!”
“…… Yes?”
“Everything! Entire!”
Not only the merchant but also Rudy and Lee were taken aback by Yuni’s words.
“Hey, you should only buy what you like.”
“Yes? “Do you like everything?”
“No…… If you buy everything like that, how are you going to carry it? Also, other people will have to buy it too…….”
When Rudy said that, the quick-witted merchant waved his hand.
“Get well! I will pack everything, everything. “If you tell me your address, I’ll even ship it there!”
“Oh! It’s good!”
Yuni smiled brightly and looked at Rudy.
He poked Rudy’s side with his nose, making a ‘Hmm!’ Sound.
“Ugh… ….”
Rudy sighed and looked at the merchant.
On a day like this, he didn’t think there was any need to discipline him.
Buying all the items sold on the streets like this would not have a big impact on Rudy’s wallet anyway, so he decided to do Uni’s request.
“How much?”
“Uh…… Just give us 25 gold! “Then where can I send it?”
Uni immediately opened her mouth to the merchant’s question.
“You can bring it to the imperial palace.”
“…… Yes?”
“The imperial palace. Give it to the drivers and they will take care of it.”
“???”
“… ….”
Rudy quietly approached the confused merchant and spoke.
“Just package it roughly and take it to the imperial knight. “You know roughly what that means, right?”
The merchant opened his eyes wide and shook his head up and down.
“Oh, I understand. Okay, thank you. Fortunately, even if I said hello…….”
“There is no need to be polite. I’m secretly out there anyway. Oh, here’s the money.”
Rudy bowed his head slightly as he paid the merchant.
Rie asked as soon as we walked away from the store.
“But, what are you planning to buy here? “You don’t need anything like that.”
“It will be useful somewhere~. You can use it to disguise yourself later. Yes? Senior?”
“Okay, okay. “It’s a good day, it can happen.”
“…… Town.”
Rie glared at Rudy, who did not agree with her.
Rudy smiled awkwardly and slightly averted his eyes.
Yuni smiled mischievously as she looked at the two.
“Sister, are you upset because your senior took my side?”
“It’s annoying…… !”
“Hey, I’m upset, I’m upset.”
“I’m not upset!”
As Rie pursed her lips and muttered, Rudy smiled.
“Then shall we go somewhere else?”
“Okay… ….”
Rie responded to Rudy’s words and tried to move to another place.
Then, she felt something warm in Rie’s hand.
“Huh?”
It came into the hands of Rie and Rudy.
Rudy, who was still holding her wrist, held Rie’s hand tightly.
Rie looked at Rudy with her puzzled face.
Rudy looked at Rie with a smiling face.
“Hmm… ….”
Rie blushed slightly and avoided eye contact.
“Senior! “Come quickly!”
“Uh, I’ll go.”
At Yuni’s urging, Rudy looked at Rie.
“Shall we go?”
“… ….”
Rie did not respond, but she obediently continued her steps.
How long did it spin like that?
The crowds gradually decreased, and the stores on the streets were closing.
“Today was so much fun~!”
“Huh?”
Yuni said as she clung to Rudy, and Rudy tilted his head at this.
Yuni expressed her doubts as Rudy showed her puzzled face.
“Why?”
“The proper event hasn’t even ended yet?”
“It’s not over?”
“Is there more to do?”
Lee also helped with this.
All the stores are closing, and people are going home.
It didn’t seem like there was anything more to do here.
“Come back to work for a moment.”
Rudy walked slowly, and Yuni and Rie followed behind him.
The place he went was a bench with a clear view of the sky.
“I’m going to start slowly now.”
“What is it?”
“Just a moment.”
Rudy looked at the sky for a moment.
When he stared like that for a moment.
“Let’s begin.”
As Rudy spoke, a small firework flew into the sky.
“Ah… ….”
“Fireworks?”
Pang───
The small firework that rose into the sky exploded with a cool sound.
Flame. Literally, flower-shaped fire bloomed in the sky.
Pang! Phut!
Dozens of fireworks rise into the sky.
Bright fireworks are embroidered on the previously black sky.
Rudy smiled at the fireworks and looked at Yuni and Rie.
“Do you like fireworks?”
The two opened their mouths and nodded.
“So I prepared.”
She had known for a long time that Rie liked fireworks, and she thought it was natural for Yuni to like them since she was her sister.
Rie looked at Rudy and the fireworks exploding behind him.
She then turned her head and looked at Yuni next to her.
Yuni was looking at Rie with a small smile on her face.
The reason why Rie liked fireworks was because of her memories from her childhood.
The fireworks we saw with Yuni and her parents before the imperial power struggle or political fight.
Those memories of her remained deeply with Rie.
At that time, everyone in her family got along well.
For various reasons, my relationship with Yuni split, but the memories from that time were precious.
It was the most comfortable and worry-free time in Rie’s life.
The sound of fireworks exploding rings in my ears.
It is a loud sound, but it feels very quiet.
I can’t hear any words, and only see colorful fireworks in front of me.
“Good… ….”
Rie said quietly.
Yuni leaned on Rie’s shoulder.
“So… ….”
The two seemed like sisters who got along perfectly well, as if they had been bickering for some time.
Rudy smiled as he looked at the two.
This is what Rudy wanted.
At some point, these two were anxious because they couldn’t eat together.
Whatever the reason, there was nothing good about the two not getting along like this.
So, I deliberately called out the two.
Wandering around the noisy market.
Lastly, the fireworks were shown to bring the two closer together.
Rudy put her hand in his arms and waited for her fireworks to end.
Just as the fireworks were ending.
Rudy glanced at Rie and Yuni.
The two were leaning together and looking at the sky.
Rudy slowly walked towards the two.
“Huh?”
“It’s over now… ….”
When Yuni and Rie were about to open their mouths.
Rudy knelt down on one knee in front of the two.
“?!?!”
“What, what is it! That posture…… !”
“What are you talking about?”
Rudy took out a small box from her arms.
“Ah… ….”
Rie let out a sigh when she saw the box.
Looking at Rudy’s posture, it was clear what was in that box.
Ring.
No one knows what happened to the rumor that he was with Astina, but looking at the current situation, it is clear that there is a ring in there.
Then who is the owner of that?
There are two people here.
Rie glanced at Yuni next to her.
If you receive that ring…….
Or, if Uni receives it… ….
Both of these…… This was not the result Rie wanted.
Rudy tried to open the small box, whether he knew Rie’s feelings or not.
Tap!
“…… ?”
“Sister?”
Rie moved quickly and blocked Rudy’s hand from opening her box.
“Now…… Don’t do it… ….”
“…… Huh?”
“Don’t do it!”
“What are you talking about?”
Rudy was embarrassed as his hand was blocked when he tried to open the box.
“Later…” … It doesn’t have to be now. Talk to me…….”
“Oh, no. Why. Well, now is the timing…….”
“Anyway, don’t do it…… !”
Rudy tried to take Rie’s hand away.
Rie tried to block Rudy’s hand with force.
Rudy quickly opened the box with a confused look on his face, but lost the box.
“Ah!”
The box fell to the floor.
Pang!!!!!!!
At that time, a very large firework exploded behind Rudy.
“…… ?”
“Huh?”
However, Rie and Yuni’s eyes did not go to that big firework.
All that was visible was the box that had fallen to the floor and the two rings that had fallen to the floor.
“… ….”
Rudy looked at the ring and the fireworks alternately with a devastated face.
“Why…… “Two?”
Rie opened her eyes wide and said.
In her mind, she did not understand the current situation.
‘Two, two, do you want to get one for yourself? Oh no…… Usually, when you give a ring like this, you wear it separately…… ?’
Rie’s gaze went to Rudy’s ring finger.
A ring worn exactly on the ring finger.
So, that meant there were three rings here.
When Rie was thinking of her own way.
‘It’s ruined…’ ….’
Rudy looked at her ring with a lost expression.
I miss the timing and even drop the ring on the ground…….
The romantic atmosphere became cold.
Yuni looked at the two with strange expressions, then bent down and picked up the ring.
“What are you two doing?”
“… ….”
“… ….”
She then put the ring she had picked up on her own ring finger.
“Wow! You are pretty. “Then this is it.”
Yuni handed over her one remaining ring to Rie.
“Ah…… ?”
“This is your sister’s, right?”
“Oh, uh… ….”
“Sister, try putting it on.”
“Uh, huh?”
“Oh, really. Shall I put it in? Ah! Right, right. That’s right. “I can’t get involved.”
Yuni took off the ring she was wearing and held it out to Rudy with a smile.
“The senior has to step in.”
Rudy came to his senses after hearing those words.
“Okay. “I have to put it in.”
Rudy gently held Yuni’s hand.
And he put a ring on her hand.
After putting the ring on her, Rudy looked at Yuni’s face.
“Are you giving it to me without saying anything?”
Uni said, twitching the corner of her mouth.
“Hmm… ….”
Rudy cleared her throat and looked straight into Uni’s eyes.
“Yuni, will you marry me?”
“…… !!”
Uni looked surprised, but then her expression changed to look like she was going to cry.
She had an expression I had never seen before.
She was a uni who was sly and sly in everything she did.
I had no idea Yuni would make such an expression.
“Yuni, are you okay?”
“Gwae, it’s okay…” … Yo. This… ….”
Yuni stuttered her words with a puzzled expression.
Rudy smiled at her and approached Yuni.
“Why are you crying?”
“Woah, I didn’t mean to cry?”
Uni’s voice as she said that was mixed with crying.
“So will you marry me?”
“…… Yes. I’ll be happy to do it for you. Senior like that. “If you please.”
Uni tried to speak slyly, mixing in her jokes, but her voice was mixed with crying, so it didn’t seem as relaxed as usual.
She was just cute, trying to look as natural as possible.
Rudy said with a smile.
“Thank you. “For accepting me.”
When she was looking at Uni like that.
“Hey… ….”
A sound came from next to me.
It was Rie, her face red.
Rie avoided Rudy’s gaze and held out her hand.
“Give me too…” ….”
Now it was Rie who understood the entire situation.
Rudy held Rie’s hand as she extended her hand.
“They told me not to open the box like that.”
“…… “I did it because I didn’t know.”
Rie blushed at Rudy’s joke.
“Anyway.”
Rudy knelt down on one knee in front of Rie holding her remaining ring.
As Rie soon became emperor, her people often saw her kneeling in front of her.
His vassals and knights who swore loyalty to him knelt before him several times.
However, this situation felt completely different from then.
My heart was pounding and it was difficult to look into Rudy’s eyes in front of me.
Rudy took her ring to Rie.
“Will you marry me?”
Rie responded to Rudy’s words in a hushed voice.
“…… Yes.”
The voice was more tense than ever.
Rudy smiled at her and put her ring on Rie’s finger.
“Thank you,”
“… ….”
At that time, flames rose up behind Rudy.
Pang──!
Puff poop!!
“Wow…… !”
“Ah… ….”
It was the biggest firework I’ve ever seen.
Rie and Yuni exclaimed in admiration again as they looked at the flames.
“Even though I couldn’t get the beginning right, I somehow managed to get the ending right… ….”
Rudy sighed in relief and muttered to himself.
The slightly messy confession was able to end successfully in the end.
***
Just like that, Rie and Uni Rudy finished all their schedules and tried to go back.
Rudy took the lead first, followed by Rie.
At that time, Yuni, who had been sitting until the end, looked at the ring blankly and realized something about her.
“Senior, but I also gave this to Astina senior.”
Shocked.
Rudy, who was leading, stopped.
“Oh, that’s right. Those rumors about Senior Astina…….”
With Yuni’s words, the puzzle in Rie’s head all came together.
Rumors about Astina.
About the truth of those rumors.
“Ah… ….”
At this, Rudy let out a sad sigh.
He realized.
Time for two large fireworks.
Why were you there at that time and what were you planning to do during that time?
Because of Rie’s unexpected behavior, I forgot to explain the whole story.
“… ….”
“…… Senior?”
“…… “Rudy.”
Cold sweat broke out on Rudy’s back.
Rudy quietly looked back.
Yuni and Rie were looking at Rudy with their eyes narrowed.
***
The next day.
At the Magic Tower, there was a girl looking up at the sky with a puzzled expression.
“…… What.”
That girl was Luna.
The reason I am doing this is because of what the people I heard earlier said.
‘Hey, Princess Rie and Princess Yuni got married.’
‘What? Both? With who?’
‘I heard you’re doing it with one person?’
‘Really? That’s kind of interesting. So there are two weddings just before the coronation ceremony? Didn’t the Marquis of Persia also say that he was married this time? ‘The person who took the new position.’
‘Oh, he’s with the same person.’
‘…… What?’
Luna quietly lowered her head as she pondered the story, then held her head and screamed.
“…… What??????”
