My family really has a throne to inherit

In fact, the first time I met Nanami was not after Misaki told me.

Our first meeting was even earlier... not long after I arrived in this world.

At that time, because I didn't understand the structure of this society, and there were too many things that I was not familiar with, I felt a little numb, and it was difficult to survive for a while.

Fortunately, my brother and I have learned the basic skills of eating overlord meals, and I can still survive with this.

That is, after the weather turns cold, I have to consider the issue of accommodation.

On a rainy day, half-drenched, I was lying on the outside of the bakery window staring at the bread inside, wondering if I should just go straight to the road of crime, when someone walked up to me and handed it to me an umbrella.

I didn't realize it at the time, but anyway, it's a good thing someone gave me something, so I took it.

I know that there are such kind-hearted people.It's just that I always feel that my appearance at that time should be easily misunderstood as a waif.

The other party didn't leave, but said "wait a minute" and walked into the bakery, came out after a while, and handed me a paper bag.

I still took it without hesitation, and found that it contained bread, which happened to be the ones I was staring at outside the window.

This time I observed each other carefully.

He is tall and looks very explosive. He should be the only one who can fight after I have been in this world for so many days.

"Thank you." After I thanked him, I felt that I had taken advantage a little too much, so I wanted to return the umbrella to him, "The bread is enough, and you also need the umbrella, right?"

"I'll just go to the convenience store next door and buy another one later." The other party didn't answer, but looked at me, "You need an umbrella even more."

Since the other party said that, I took my hand back.Watching the other person walk into the convenience store next door.

I didn't leave just yet, but stopped him at the convenience store while I was waiting for him to come out.

Logically speaking, I should thank him sincerely again, but when I looked at the other party at that time, I only asked one sentence: "How do you think people can survive in this world?"

The other party did not answer immediately, but opened the transparent umbrella in his hand, looked at me and replied simply: "Study, then work."

Then I withdrew the idea of ​​committing a crime because of the other party's words, and went to work to try it out.

Of course, that was just a one-time relationship, and we never saw each other again.

I also changed several jobs in three years, and finally thought of this past when I was recruited by a bakery, and finally became a baker.

It was also in the year when I became a baker, because of Misaki, I saw him again, and then I noticed that he was the same person from before, so I went up to talk to him, and mentioned the influence he had on me, and thanked him again.

And then... It took about half a year to keep asking the other party to meet, and after confirming my heart, I confessed to the other party directly a month ago.

"This is my deposit record and health report. I am currently working as a baker in a bakery. My goal in life is to save a small amount of money with my own efforts to support myself, and then be with the person I like. Now I am I have the ability to be responsible for my own life and choices." I handed over the document, and then continued to say seriously, "I personally think that my greatest strengths are seriousness and persistence, and my shortcomings may also be these two points."

"At the beginning, I just wanted to thank you because you helped me, Mr. Qihai, but the words were too pale, so I asked you out again and again thinking if there was anything I could do to help you... But not long ago When I saw Misaki smiling happily while talking to you, I suddenly felt very depressed and my chest was tight, I turned around and asked Misaki, she said it was a sign of love."

"I have thought about it for a long time, and I feel that what the other party said is correct. I don't have much sense of belonging to this world, but I will feel at ease when I am by your side."

"So, this is the purpose of my asking you out this time - I hope you can associate with me."

"Ah, if you don't like me, you can reject me without thinking too much. Because when I give love, what I hope to get is love, not sympathy or anything else."

That confession was almost entirely by myself, and the other party was just listening the whole time.

And after I finished speaking, the other party did not answer immediately, but fell into a long silence.

"I changed a new job not long ago." Jianren Qihai said.

Although I don't know why the other party suddenly mentioned this, I still followed the other party's words and nodded: "Well, I found out that you seem to have started wearing glasses after changing jobs."

"...Well." The other party answered slowly, as if he was considering his words, "My new job is very dangerous..."

I don't know why the other party mentioned this, and I looked puzzled: "But this does not conflict with Mr. Qihai, you can give me a sense of security."

After I finished saying this, he fell into silence again.

I stared at him anxiously waiting for his answer.

"...If you don't mind." The other party seemed to be relieved all of a sudden, and his tense attitude relaxed, "Please take care of me later."

This is the beginning of our relationship.

It was only after a long time that I found out that when we met for the first time, Nanami, who was 19 years old at the time, thought that I was a JK who ran away from home when I was 17 years old.

And, when I asked for cohabitation after less than a month of dating, he spent the silent time seriously thinking about whether I was going to be a fairy dance.

"Speaking of... you both live together, do you still call each other Qihai?"

"Well, yes." I nodded and explained, "Because I think Qihai sounds better when she shouts."

nana (seven) mi (three), what a neat number.

Being an alchemist loves this.

"Hey—I don't really understand you...Forget it, Mr. Nanami understands." Shibusawa Misaki said, looking around, then suddenly leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "But you live together... So, did that...do it?"

"Huh? What to do?"

"Oh! That's it!" Shibusawa Misaki leaned over and whispered in my ear for a while.

After I realized it, my face suddenly turned red, and I looked at her with unbelievable eyes: "What are you talking about!? That kind of thing can only be done after marriage?!"

"...You guys are really fast when you shouldn't be fast, but you are unexpectedly conservative in places that should be open——!"

"Beautiful."

"What's wrong?!"

"You are so fierce."

"..."

Although Shibusawa Misaki's thought shocked me, it also reminded me of something.

My habitual thinking is based on my previous world. I have only been in this world for five years, and I haven’t had much in-depth communication with other human beings. I still don’t know enough about the culture of this world.

and so……

"Jianren." When I finished eating, I suddenly called out.

Qi Hai, who was eating with her head down, looked up at me with a bit of surprise: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just want to say... I usually call you Qihai because I think Qihai sounds nice, instead of keeping a distance and not calling your name."

The other party listened, with a smile on his face: "Well, I know."

It's great that Nanami understood this, and I became happy too, gave people a big smile and continued eating.

But there is one more problem...

After taking a shower, I looked at Qihai who was still sitting on the sofa in the living room. When I walked up to him, I put my hands on the back of the sofa chair, looked at his side face, and asked in a low voice, "That... Qihai ...would you like to do it?"

What responded to me was the coughing sound of the other party being suddenly choked.
