Chapter 333
(Wha! How could Mitsuha be able to talk like that so nonchalantly?
Wasnt Mitsuha on good terms with Alexis?
The man closest to Mitsuha is Alexis, and there shouldnt have been any shadows of other men at all)
Of course, there are many who target Mitsuha.
However, Mitsuha had no desire for such a thing, so even when she was approached by a young man at a party or something, she would only have a casual conversation and interaction on the spot, and she would never make an appointment to meet him at a later date, nor would she make a personal connection with him.
The ones Mitsuha would seriously talk to at parties and such were the lords of places that might buy the Viscount Yamanos produce, or older people who could tell her interesting stories and useful things In other words, those who were not eligible for marriage.
In addition, Marquis Bozes and the kings faction prevented young men from getting too close to Mitsuha. The restraining battle between young men also prevented Mitsuha from having a specific man.
In the first place, Mitsuha thought that all the men who approached her did not like Mitsuha herself, but came to her only for her use value as an angel, the Hime-Miko of thunder, the sister of the king of a great country with superior technology, a military weapon capable of calling forth divine soldiers with sacred weapons, etc.
Besides, Mitsuha knows that around here she is seen as around 12-13 years old.
Thats why she avoided men who approached her like that, thinking that they must be lolicons or people who wanted to take advantage of her.
If its an engagement proposal, she understands. As an aristocrat, its not strange to seek connections between families for utility value, and its also quite normal to make an offer to someone who has not yet come of age.
However, those were crushed by Marquis Bozes and the king.
After all, the application for engagement has to be made to the parent or guardian, not to the person herself
Yes. There was no way that a nasty bug could get on Mitsuha, under the watchful eyes of the Marquis Bozes and co.
Why does she show no emotion toward Alexiss attachment to Her Highness the First Princess and simply talk about it as if it were a given?)
He and his wifes hope that Mitsuha would become the daughter of the Boses was about to be crushed.
Marquis Bozes couldnt hide his upset about that, but
(No, but the fact that Her Highness the First Princess and Alexis are getting married is a good match.
Besides, Mitsuha likes cute things.
Then why not have her marry Theodore instead of Alexis? They are close in age after all
If she becomes our daughter-in-law, the wife of Theodore, who will succeed the marquis, Iris and I will be able to live with her together forever.
For Mitsuha, who lost her parents and cant meet her younger brother, shouldnt we become her new parents, younger brother, and husband? Theodore is older than Mitsuha, but since hes gentle, a little petite, and has a baby face, hell be able to be the recipient of Mitsuhas feelings as her younger brother.
Yes. Thats right! What a brilliant idea!!
I must discuss this with Iris immediately)
Unbeknownst to Mitsuha, a disturbing conspiracy was brewing right in front of her.
And
(Immediately get her engaged to Theodore, and when Mitsuha comes of ageAre?)
Marquis Bozes felt uncomfortable.
(How old is Mitsuha again?)
And then, Marquis Bozes tried to recall the memory.
(Mitsuha looked around 12 years old when I first met her.
Of course, its outrageously rude to ask a woman her age, no matter how underage a child she is, so I didnt check her age, but
Nearly two years have passed since then, and in all that time, Mitsuha has never mentioned her age or birthday to me.
And now, Mitsuha She looks like shes still around 12 years old.
Two years is a lot for a child.
In that time, aside from Alexis, who had already grown to his full height for his age, Theodore and Beatrice have grown considerably.
And yet, Mitsuha
She still looks around 12 years old, shes the same as she was back then
And Mitsuha said that it costs life force, when using the secret art of migration.
Then later, she said that her lifespan would not be shortened, and life force is not something thats related only to lifespan.
For example, the vitality of the body, the ability to grow
Oi.
Oi oi.
Oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi!!)
Marquis Bozes seems to have finally noticed.
Mitsuha, how old are you now (Marquis Bozes)
Eh? (Mitsuha)
Mitsuha received a fierce blow!!
Ah,etto, thats (Mitsuha)
(Marquis Bozes)
Th~, thats not a good question to ask a lady (Mitsuha)
(Marquis Bozes)
There are things like the dignity of a maiden (Mitsuha)
(Marquis Bozes)
The room was enveloped in silence.
Its not a serene and tranquil silence, but a silence filled with a heavy atmosphere.
Tarari.
Mitsuha was sweating bullets from her forehead.
(Its bad, its bad This is bad! They finally realized! I havent grown at all
I thought that if I saw him often, he wouldnt feel any different whether I had grown up or not, but I guess theres a limit to things
Since child vampires dont grow up, humans immediately feel uncomfortable, so its hard to have to move frequently. This is probably it)
Mitsuha noticed the hardships of Edgars family, the Portsnell family.
(Come to think of it, a short, baby-faced Japanese woman in her twenties, who came from a foreign country, could cause a rumor like That girl wont age at all, no matter how many years pass, and She must be a fairy
Its one thing to be worshiped, but if Im called a witch or a vampire, Ill be persecuted)
Mitsuha was concerned about such things, but in Mitsuhas case, the suspicion was bound to be, Isnt she the messenger? or Isnt she favored or blessed by the goddess?
(No way, I cant escape!!)
And so, Mitsuha finally gave up.
Ah, umm~, that~,I, I just became an adult (Mitsuha)
Unlike in Japan, the age of adulthood in this country is 15 years old.
So, putting it that way, Marquis Bozes, who doesnt know the age of adulthood in Japan, would think that Mitsuha had just turned 15.
Mitsuhas words have no extraneous information included, so she wasnt lying.
When he first met her, she looked like she was around 12 years old, and its been less than two years since then, so theres no contradiction. In her home country, she was cherished, and a user of a rare power of migration, then when she came to this country, she looked somewhat small for her age Theres nothing strange about that though.
(Alright, I managed to survive with minimal damage!)
With that in mind, Mitsuha was relieved to see that
and how old are you? (Marquis Bozes)
(Youre being a pain in the ass, you know that?)
