Chapter 498: The Advisor Requests to Fight

In the room, 『』 and Karoso lay side by side on the bed, looking at each other without saying a word.

『』’s face was expressionless, clearly sulking about Karoso’s offer of a pretend marriage.

"Don’t be angry," Karoso said softly, looking at the wildly rolling bullet comments. "When I mentioned a pretend marriage, I didn’t mean it like that…"

"Hmph!" 『』 huffed and turned away.

Karoso placed a hand on 『』’s shoulder.

"Don’t touch me!" 『』 shrugged, almost throwing Karoso off.

Karoso finally understood what the bullet comment meant by saying an angry girlfriend is harder to handle than a pig during the New Year.

"What I meant was, let’s play along for now, and after we go out, I want to give you the biggest wedding ever," Karoso explained.

"Who would want to marry you…" 『』’s voice softened a bit.

Karoso felt a little lost. He was just about to say not to get married and to take it slow when he saw the bullet comments rolling in even more wildly.

[The Love Master Team requests to battle!]

[Hahaha… Is it finally the strategist’s turn?]

[At this moment, 『』 is not refusing. She is waiting for you to continue saying nice things and making promises.]

[Keep pushing forward, Honey Karoso.]

[Don’t think like a straightforward guy. Here, let me teach you how to say it…]

"You don’t want to marry, but I want to marry you," Karoso said firmly.

"You hesitated. Just now, you hesitated for a long time!" 『』 still did not turn around for Karoso.

"I’m afraid…"

"What are you afraid of?"

"I am afraid that I will die on the battlefield in the future and won’t be able to give you a far-away future."

『』’s body trembled a little.

What is the most moving thing?

In ancient times, the promises made before marching to war were always the most touching.

Since ancient times, beautiful women have loved heroes, and Karoso’s words pulled 『』 into reality.

She knew that Karoso was a hero, and his ability to kill even gods was built upon using others’ strength, and not in the peak time of the God of Wisdom.

If Karoso really fights against all the nobles in the world and all the churches, he cannot guarantee how long he can live or if he can win.

The charm of a hero who stands up for the common people lies in his courage to fight, to face death bravely.

"So you said after you go out, you will give me a grand wedding. Are you not scared, or what?" 『』’s voice grew softer.

"Because I am a selfish person. Even if I cannot give you a perfect future, I cannot give you up while pretending to love you and wanting to see you happy. I can’t bear to watch you fall into someone else’s arms. I just want to keep you for myself. I promise that every minute and second I live, I will do my best to fulfill my duties as a husband." Karoso said softly, "I know there is an age difference between us, and our statuses are different, but I don’t care about those things."

"We have been through so much together, our lives are already tied together. We even faced Acheron together. What else in this world can stop us from being together?"

"What if my brother opposes it…" 『』 said quietly.

"I will persuade him, I will touch his heart, and I will do everything I can to make him accept me." Karoso’s voice grew stronger.

"What about your father…"

"In the Colloa family, I am in charge. No one can stop me." Karoso’s words carried a hint of dominance.

『』’s body softened.

Karoso gently placed his hand on her shoulder and pulled her back slightly.

『』 only struggled symbolically for a moment before being pulled by Karoso to his side.

『』’s body was now soft and warm, with Karoso’s chest pressed against 『』’s back, his heart beating rapidly.

"So… does this mean we are married today…" 『』 said softly.

"Of course it does. At least the vows I just made are all true. I want to marry you, love you, and protect you. Whether we are rich or poor, in good times or bad, in sickness or health, I will be your husband." Karoso’s hand rubbed back and forth on 『』’s shoulder.

"Mm…" 『』 did not refuse or disagree.

"Actually, I didn’t expect this day to come so suddenly. I didn’t even get to use what I had prepared to say."

"Suddenly? You… wait, what did you prepare to say?"

"I thought I would have to tell you that my cat can do a backflip, and then you would come home with me."

"Is it a magical beast kind of cat? Then it’s normal for it to do backflips." 『』 blinked.

[I thought this would lighten the mood, but it backfired!]

[Damn, this is a different world. Isn’t it normal for cats to do backflips?]

[It’s okay, there’s always another plan.]

"Uh…" Karoso got stuck.

"You came so suddenly; were you not ready? What you said earlier was actually…"

Before 『』 could finish casting her spell, Karoso interrupted her, "Maybe it’s a matter of experience; my friend has never seen a cat do a backflip. He told me that if you meet a girl you really like and want to take her home, you should say your cat can do a backflip."

『』 wasn’t foolish; she quickly understood the meaning.

She blushed and gave Karoso’s hand a light slap, "Try not to hang out with people like that anymore."

"Okay…" After Karoso said that, he didn’t know what else to say.

"Don’t know what to say?" 『』’s anger had completely disappeared.

"Um… Actually, I’ve always focused on training and studying, and I haven’t really talked to girls much…" Karoso felt a bit awkward.

"That’s nice." There was a hint of joy in 『』’s voice.

Karoso’s hand on 『』’s shoulder moved down, wanting to wrap around her waist.

As a result, it seemed like they touched something, and both of them froze.

"Ah!"

The Flying Dutchman suddenly swayed, and 『』 leaned into Karoso’s arms.

Neither of them spoke, and their breathing became a bit rapid.

The sounds of the pirates singing outside, the sudden storm, and the swaying ship made the two of them cling tightly to each other.

[Grass, Master Karoso turned off the bullet comments.]

[Darn, I need to teach him right now!]

[I want to see, I want to see!]

[Hurry, I wasn’t even going to take the kindergarten bus!]

[Master Karoso is only thinking of himself.]

[Wah wah wah… Master Karoso has finally grown up!]

……

Outside, Tige happily drank rum, watching the pirates dance and sing, feeling very cheerful.

"Captain, it’s really lively today." The first mate came to Tige’s side, "I didn’t expect we could join a human wedding."

"Yes." Tige sighed, "We are not far from the other shore."

"Right, based on experience, we should reach the other shore by tomorrow morning," the staff captain nodded.

Tige looked at the waving pirate flag and thought about Karoso’s youthful face; he couldn’t help but feel a bit lost.

"What do you think about being the captain?" Tige suddenly asked.

"Huh?" the staff captain was very surprised, "I wouldn’t dare…"

"Some responsibilities, you should start to take on."
