Tensei Shoujo no Rirekisho Chapter 28

It was a trap! Anyways, it's going to be the weekend soon, so more releases to come pretty soon. 
(｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

The transfer of work from Claude-san to Cardin-san was going smoothly, in fact the whole process ended faster than I thought it would.

We were leaving at a time when the Sun has yet to have shown its face. The members of the journey were: Claude-san, Smith-san the coachman and another 2 bodyguard knights followed us for whatever reason.

It appears that in recent days, there have been rumours that say bandits have been spotted in the area. If bandits really appeared, we do have two knights accompanying us as bodyguards so we should be able to manage somehow. Claude-san also added that 「At worst, they can have goods we brought on the journey and that is okay since there is nothing important among them.」 This made me feel that the bandits of this world were lenient. Claude-san’s strategy to deal with them was rather bold.

When we were leaving, Irene-san, Cardin-san, the two young masters, and Stella-san, as the representative of all the servants, came to see us off.

We gave one another a farewell hug before leaving. Alan was already in tears and desperately said nothing, whereas Cain-bouchama, with an ikemen smile, gave me a good-luck bracelet. It was a supreme quality item made personally by him through the spinning of yarn and knitting. It was likely that he had thought that since Alan gave me a dagger, he himself should make something for me as well. Anyways, to have made this bracelet by hand, what high level of femininity he has.

Claude-san had been observing me and decided to ask.

「I am feeling a bit lonely, but I know we will meet again.」

Or perhaps, could he have already given up hopes on marrying a wife? He is still young and handsome so I do feel that giving up now was way too early though.

「Yes, I understand. However, would that be really okay? I have heard that Claude-sama is still a bachelor, wouldn’t you be facing difficulties when you marry if I am adopted?」

「Ah, you do not have to be concerned with that. There won’t be plans for marriage in the near future and when you become of appropriate age for marriage, I would take you as my wife.」 Without warning, Claude-san announced as so.

Eh? What did this person just say?

「I’m sorry, because of the wind, I couldn’t hear clearly…… Just to confirm, Claude-sama said that, you will marry me?」

「Indeed.」

“You wouldn’t mind though?” that was the expression Claude-san was making.

It wasn’t a joke?

「You’ve even considered children…... To think you have thought out that far!」

I gave a glare contemptuously at Claude-san.

「No, of course, while you are still a child, I wouldn’t lay my hands on you because I have no special preference for children! Speaking of which, Ryou, did you understand the conversation I had with Irene-san back then? ……Being just a six year old, how in the world do you have such knowledge of what we were talking about!」

Claude-san let out a sigh. It felt like he was whining.

Nevertheless, while he has promised me to not lay his hands on me while I still am a child, he certainly did say that he would someday have a child with me. That pervert!

Hmm, but wait. Claude-san is quite the ikemen too, and is quite rich too. Ah, he won’t be too bad? A fine candidate? Still, there is quite an age gap between us……

Anyhow, it feels like he fell in love me not because he fell in love in me but rather in my worth. That will be a better way of thinking about this issue.

Alright, for the time being, I shall proceed on, and as soon as I get disgusted with him, I will make my escape. I shall do as such.

「Well, I got it. It’s just that if you show any sexual excitement before we get married, I won’t forgive you.」

I told him in a threatening voice. Claude-san sighed with a puff and acknowledged. If I remember correctly, the minimum age for marriage in this world was 15-years-old. If there was that much time left, there will enough time for me to ponder about my next step.

Anyways, we have made it very far now. We zipped through the mountainous path. Initially, the scenery had been enjoyable but now, there were only trees, trees and more trees. I’ve gotten sick and tired of it.

And, by the side of the path, a rustling sound could be heard and what appeared next was a bunch of gangster-like people.

These people were most likely bandits!

Smith the coachman murmured in a soft voice that 「we have to retreat from here」, and tried to get the coach to go in the other direction but, we didn’t perceive it at all, that a skinhead bandit was already in front of us! He boarded the coach and directed his sword in front of Claude-san’s eyes.
