If It's for My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord Chapter 120: Youth, Propose to the Girl of White Gold

On a warm spring day, Dale invited Latina to the Central Square of Kreuz.

"You want to go for a walk? Is Theo going together?"

"No, we have to go out alone once in a while."

"Wafu?"

"That's why you're staying."

"Wafu."

Latina chuckled, seemed amused by Dale's words to Wind.

As they walked slowly hand in hand, Dale recalled that he had held the young Latina in his arms and went along the same road to the East District.

"Do you remember the first time I took you to the East District?"

"I was surprised at the time because I have never seen so many people in the past."

"I was also surprised when I first came here from the country."

"At that time, you took me to a shoe store. Theo and Emma's shoes were also bought there. The craftsmanship of children's shoes made in that store is very particular."

"Have you stopped buying shoes at that store?"

"I went to the store recommended by Chloe and then told Rita about it. Although the store has just opened, every pair of shoes is exquisitely designed."

"I see……"

The conversation was full of daily chores that Dale was not interested in. Latina looked a little intranquil, stroking the left wrist from time to time through the clothes. Dale also pretended to touch her wrist inadvertently, there was something hard there. "What is it?" Dale thought for a moment.

"Ah, is it a bracelet?''

"Yes. I have been collecting it before. Until recently, I thought it was about the right size, so I put it on."

The bracelet was engraved with the name of Latina's father, and it was the only thing left by her hometown. Since the bracelet was designed for adults, it was too big for her when she was young. Latina kept the bracelet carefully so as not to lose it, and Dale had seen it in her room.

"I'm not used to it, so I'm always worried... "

"Is this a custom of the Demon Race?"

"All the grown-ups I saw as a kid would wear it. So I kept thinking that when I grow up, I will wear this bracelet."

"Very well. It was your father's amulet, wasn't it?"

"Yeah."

Latina's arms were covered by her coat, but Dale remembered the look of the bracelet.

Latina's arms were so thin when she was a child that the bracelet was too big for her. "Unconsciously, Latina has become a woman who can put it on." Dale felt so in his heart.

There were plenty of people relaxing in the Central Square of Kreuz today.

Like a glimpse of herself as a child, Latina's expression gradually eased as her eyes followed the children who were running cheerfully.

"You like children very much."

"Do you think so? Maybe I do."

When taking care of Theo and Emma, ​​Latina never showed even a little impatience. Every time she saw a child, a look of tenderness would spread over her face. Dale was too aware of these things.

"One day I will also..."

"Huh?"

"No, nothing."

Dale held her hand more tightly when he heard Latina's whisper.

Breeze licked their cheeks and Latina narrowed her eyes. The warm sun was pouring down and made them sweat a little. So, they chose a shade and sat down on the grass.

"Latina."

"Yeah?"

Latina turned her head at Dale's call. At that moment, she was dazzling.

Her long hair was casually braided, and her delicate skin was shining with beautiful luster that no makeup was needed

Latina was born with grey eyes, long eyelashes and pink lips. Now she had grown up, and these features had shaped her into an unrivalled beauty. Moreover, her face was always radiant with innocence, made people feel that she was not only beautiful, but also had a lovely inner world.

No one can refuse her beauty.

As long as she showed her smile, everyone would feel supreme happiness.

"My choice is right." Dale made up his mind.

"The weather is great."

"Yes."

"What happened? Is there anything wrong?"

"You see something's wrong with me?"

"Of course, because I've been watching you."

Sitting next to Dale, Latina smiled sweetly. Even knowing she would not notice his embarrassment, Dale looked away because of shyness

"Latina, take this."

"What?"

Looking at the small box that Dale handed over, Latina seemed a bit confused.

"My birthday is still early."

"Yes, but today is special."

" ...Ok."

Latina gently pressed her chest at Dale's words. On the same day nine years ago, she met Dale in the woods. Nine years had passed since the wheel of fate began to turn.

"Today is a special day for us."

"Yes."

Latina replied, opened the small box that was inconspicuous. At the moment of opening, she was stunned by the brilliance of the thing in the box. It was a piece of jewelry inlaid with gems finely carved, and its beauty was beyond words.

"This... this looks... expensive, is it a bracelet?"

"What are you talking about……"

Latina seemed to be treacherous, and Dale laughed as she gave such an honest assessment.

At the urging of Dale, Latina took out the bracelet.

Dale held Latina's hand and put the bracelet on her slender wrist.

"It's beautiful……"

"This bracelet is a Demon Tool, although it is more like a piece of jewelry."

Each gem on the bracelet was engraved with blooming flowers. No matter which angle you looked at, it was like a piece of art composed of flowers and fruits.

"... Marry me."

"What?"

"Let's give up the adoptive relationship and start a different kind of family."

"Dale...?"

Latina was immersed in the glitter of the bracelet, but suddenly heard Dale say so, she looked up in a daze. Looking at Latina's stunned face, Dale looked away awkwardly.

Dale was an experienced top adventurer. He had suffered numerous harsh battles, but he had never been more nervous.

"La... Latina? It's sad when you get no answer to your proposal, isn't it?"

"But... it was so sudden..."

Latina's voice became hoarse and trembling.

"You don't want to?''

"No... no... just I never thought about getting married..."

"All I know is that you said you like me, but I don't know that you never thought about getting married."

"But I am from Demon Race, I don't know if I can have children."

"I know. Although your children will be very cute, I don't want to get married for children."

Dale knew that long-lived demons had low birthrates. He also knew that Latina liked children very much, but she always worried that she could not give birth.

"Even if you want to marry me, will your family agree?"

"Is that your answer?"

Dale touched the bracelet on Latina's wrist. The pattern of flowers and fruits interwoven was of traditional and special significance in his hometown.

"When my parents heard about it, they said to me, 'you finally figured it out'... As for grandma, she said, 'If you miss Latina, you'll never find someone to marry for the rest of your life.'"

"Grandma... "

Latina whispered, looked at Dale with moist eyes.

"Is it true? ... Can I really be your wife?"

"Latina is the best for me."

At that moment, Latina could not hold back her tears.

"Why can you fulfill all my wishes? As long as it is what I want, you will give it to me... "

Latina kept wiping away the tears with her fingertips, but the tears kept rushing out.

"I... I have been... always wanted to be your 'special girl'..."

"Ah... "

"I like you and want to be with you... Although I can't repay you, I will always be with you from now on... "

"Don't feel that you have no way to repay me... because you are always by my side supporting me..."

It's much better to feel a little ashamed now than to regret not saying it afterwards.

"I hope that you can be with me forever."

As a result, Latina's tear-wet face broke into a big smile when Dale looked into her gray eyes and said these words. Then she replied:

"... OK."

As their faces drew closer, Latina lowered her eyes shyly.

Their lips touched gently and picked up a kiss that was not like a kiss. Even so, Latina's ears were stained red from this kiss. As if he had been influenced by her, Dale blushed as well.
