Chapter 1546: Will you be my...
After the meeting with Andou, Haru and Jeanne didn't need to worry about anything since the rest of the things would be handled by Andou.
Andou also knew that both Haru and Jeanne were orphaned early and their parents were killed by metaphysical. It might seem a bit dirty, but he thought to become their closest person so they could help him with some matters or become his right hand directly in the future.
If Haru knew about that, he also didn't mean it since he also needed Andou's help. Even though Andou's power might not be comparable to him, his connection with various people was very vast.
If Andou wanted to use him, Haru also wanted to use Andou.
Both of them would use each other and there was nothing wrong with it.
When the matter ended, Haru and Jeanne went to the nearby hotel together.
Andou wanted to pay for the hotel, but Haru rejected Andou's goodwill. He looked at Haru's back and let out a sigh, and at the same time, he was wondering how could this guy be so handsome.
When Haru and Jeanne came out from the headquarters of the White Knight Order
Japanese Branch, Jeanne couldn't help but ask, "Why did you reject his offer?"
"I don't want to owe him a favor," Haru said. Even though he could tell that Andou's personality was quite good, as the head of the Japanese Division, he wasn't as simple as it seemed, after all, no one could be the head with a simple mind.
Jeanne nodded, but she didn't think too much since she didn't like something like politics since it was complicated. Her mind was simple, was pretty simple after all, and she knew what they needed to do was to complete the quest.
"Let's go."
Jeanne nodded and walked to the hotel with Haru.
The receptionist welcomed them and asked whether they had a reservation or not, after all, they were at a fairly luxurious hotel.
Haru didn't have, but he had a lot of money since along the way before he had been earning a lot of money from FOREX.
When Jeanne knew the amount of money that her boyfriend had gotten, she was dumbfounded, but... well, this guy was perverted after all so in the end, she needed to get used to it.
"One room."
Jeanne was dumbfounded, looking at Haru, who was on her side.
"Is there something wrong, Jeanne?" Haru asked with a harmless smile.
'This guy...?!'
While Jeanne was in the middle of thinking about Haru's ability at making money, she didn't expect that this guy would order one room directly for both of them. She had prepared herself, but she didn't expect him to be so eager!
A blush gradually covered her face and she lowered her head since she was embarrassed, but she didn't reject it.
"What are you thinking about?" Haru asked with a smile.
"No - Nothing!"
The receptionist looked at both Haru and Jeanne and nodded since it wasn't uncommon for a high school student to do this kind of thing, but she wasn't going to say anything since she could tell that they might be embarrassed about it.
Haru took the key to the room and walked away with Jeanne.
Jeanne also followed Haru after she thanked the receptionist in a hurry since she felt embarrassed to stay in this place for a long time.
When they arrived in front of their room, Haru opened the door and let Jeanne enter.
Jeanne entered, but then her heart thumped when she heard the door was closed and locked. She couldn't contain her emotion anymore and she became panicked.
"Haru, wait a moment, I..."
Haru didn't wait for Jeanne anymore, he hugged her waist and brought her to bed, jumping together on the top of it.
The size of the bed was king size so when both of them landed on the bed, it didn't feel cramped for both of them.
Jeanne was about to say something, but when she saw Haru's clear eyes that were fully innocent, she felt a bit dumbfounded since she thought that his eyes would be full of desire, looking at her with predatory eyes since she had seen that kind of eyes of him before, but it was his first time to see him with these kinds of eyes.
Haru's eyes were so sincere at that moment, and said, "Jeanne."
"What's wrong, Haru?" Jeanne asked.
"Do you want to get married?" Haru asked directly.
"..."
Jeanne blinked her eyes and looked at Haru with surprise. "Ma - Marry?!"
"You don't want to?"
"It's not that, I want to get married, but why so hurry?" Jeanne blushed and asked him with a happy smile since no girls would be unhappy being proposed by the man that they loved, but they had just come to this world and they needed to do their quest after all.
"I won't beat around the bush." Haru looked at Jeanne and said, "I want to do that with you."
"...."
"...What?" Jeanne asked with a dumbfounded expression.
"I want to do that with you."
Jeanne blushed and sighed. "You..." She looked at Haru and asked, "If... if you want we can do it right away..." After she said that, she lowered her head and felt very embarrassed.
However, Haru was dumbfounded when he heard Jeanne's answer.
"What's wrong?" Jeanne felt a bit strange when she saw his expression.
"We don't need to marry first?" Haru asked.
"..."
Jeanne was surprised, but then she chuckled.
"What's wrong?" Haru asked.
"You doofus." Jeanne smiled and said, "How do you think the people at my time marry to each other?"
"...."
When Jeanne reminded him, Haru couldn't help but slap his forehead since he knew that the marriage between two people during the medieval era was different from the present.
Jeanne decided to be bold, she held Haru's hands and stared at him with a gentle smile.
"In my time, it is already very hard for people to eat so it is impossible for us to have a marriage ceremony like those nobles or the riches and as long as both parties agree then they can marry right away," Jeanne explained.
"I see..."
Haru nodded and thought that he really might have had a misunderstanding before when he thought that Jeanne wanted to marry him before they had sex since it seemed that wasn't the case and it seemed Jeanne was more perverted than he had thought.
"Did you think something rude about me?" Jeanne asked with a frown since she felt that this guy was thinking bad about her.
"Nothing." Haru shook his head and said, "I just think about how cute you are." He couldn't help but pinch Jeanne's nose since he didn't have time to flirt with her like this before they arrived to this world and he also really missed him that he wanted to hug her immediately, but he didn't do that since it seemed that she had something to say.
"You...!"
Jeanne was annoyed and started to fight him.
Both of them started their fight and played around on the top of the bed, causing their laughter to echo through the room.
When they had enough, they laid on the bed together while staring at the ceiling.
"Why do you want to marry me?" Jeanne asked.
"Because I love you," Haru said without hesitation.
Jeanne smiled and turned her head toward him. "I love you too."
Haru also looked at Jeanne with a smile. "I know."
"How narcissistic!"
Jeanne looked at Haru with disdain, causing him to laugh.
"Still, how do people on your time marry?" Haru asked curiously.
"There is no need to be troublesome, when two people are falling in love, they will make a vow to the Lord that they will be together, helping each other through a happy and difficult time." Jeanne looked at Haru and explained. "If we want to marry, we only need the Lord as our witness." But then she remembered something and asked, "But is that alright with you? You're a shrine owner, right? Our beliefs are different."
"It's alright, we can ask your Lord and Gods on my belief as our witness," Haru said simply.
"...."
Jeanne was speechless, but she felt that Haru was right. She then became shy and asked, "So do you want to do it now?"
"Yes," Haru said without hesitation while gently holding her hand.
Jeanne was shy, but she was very happy at that moment.
"So Jeanne, I ask you here, will you marry me and become my wife, staying with me together through a happy and difficult time?"
"Yes."
Jeanne nodded without hesitation and somehow she felt that she wanted to cry. She then looked at the man that was about to become her husband with a happy smile.
"So Haru, I ask you here too, will you be my husband, staying with me together through a happy and difficult time?
"Yes." Haru nodded without hesitation.
Both of them stared at each other before moving closer, feeling each other's lips and starting their first night in this world. They might have a quest that they needed to do and this quest was also dangerous that they might lose their lives, but it was because of that they were going to marry each other so they wouldn't have any regrets if something happened.
Then what would happen next?
Well, there was no need to explain since what this guy was about to do was obvious.
