“This…this…” The dwarf Astair’s mouth was agape.

"My God..." Therapist Maru covered her mouth with both hands.

“‘One move down’… ‘Goodness!’ The nickname is so inappropriate.” The werewolf Niz muttered to herself.

Amazonian warrior Ishka, who had been crossing her arms, had somehow lowered them, and her eyes as she looked at Lynn were filled with burning fighting spirit.

And the group leader, Alexandra, was even more excited; she had clenched her fists in anticipation.

“That’s not any kind of ability we know, not magic, not an adventurer’s skill…it’s a kind of…pure 'skill' to the extreme.”

"A sword technique we have never seen before."

"Haha, I really want to try it. I wonder what it would feel like to face it head-on."

Liu stared intently at Lynn, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Lynn really won. The guy who was running around like an idiot last night actually has such amazing swordsmanship.

Kaguya can't escape this engagement now!

Thinking about this, Liu suddenly felt a strange sensation.

"Strange, Kaguya's downfall, shouldn't I be happy? What's going on?"

Lynn then tossed the wooden sword to the referee, Lyra, walked up to the dazed Kaguya, and extended a hand.

"Let's get to know each other again. I'm your fiancé, my name is Lynn. Also, we should start thinking about the wedding."

11. These bad guys

Wedding?

Kaguya's mind went blank, buzzing.

She never imagined she would lose.

Ever since she learned about this absurd engagement yesterday, she had imagined countless ways to end this farce cleanly and decisively.

But in every way, she was the victor.

Now, this man named Lynn, with a swordsmanship she could neither understand nor even reach, has shattered all her barriers of rejection.

If you lose, you have to fulfill the marriage agreement.

Is she really going to marry this man in front of her?

Kaguya looked at Lynn's outstretched hand; it was this very hand that had just unleashed those three stunningly powerful strikes.

A smile still lingered on his face, neither smug nor mocking.

In the Far East, women are merely appendages of men.

For some reason, Kaguya suddenly felt that he wasn't so annoying after all.

At the very least, his swordsmanship is worthy of respect.

That recognition of swordsmanship subtly diminished some of her anger and resentment.

Instead, a more complex and twisted emotion emerged.

She subconsciously raised her hand.

Before she could even react, her hand had already gently rested on Lynn's palm.

He clearly possessed superb swordsmanship, which should have been the result of years of sword practice, and his hands should have had a thin layer of calluses.

But Lynn's hands were delicate and warm.

A warm feeling traveled through their clasped hands.

Kaguya's heart skipped a beat, and a blush crept onto her face.

"Ooooh—!"

"Look, look! Our usually icy deputy commander is blushing!"

Laila's sharp, pointed voice broke through Kaguya's daze.

Alexie jumped up even more dramatically, drew her rapier, raised it high, struck a chuunibyou (delusional) pose, and shouted passionately:

"In the name of justice! Witness this historic moment! The challenger has won victory with unparalleled swordsmanship, and has also won the heart of our vice-captain! From today onwards, the team of justice will have one more... beloved wife!"

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Kaguya, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, jerked her hand away, her cheeks flushed red. "I just... I'm a man of my word! It's just politeness!"

"A bet's a bet?" Iska leaned closer, winking. "Doesn't that mean you're acknowledging the engagement? Then I'll take care of your hair and makeup at the wedding."

"That's right, that's right!" Niz yelled back, "When are you going to have the wedding banquet, Kaguya?!"

"Is there enough meat at the wedding banquet?" Astai asked, her mouth still full of food, her words muffled.

Kaguya was surrounded and attacked by this group of guys, and for a moment she had no way to refute them.

It was indeed she who said that if you lose, you have to accept it.

Seeing that Kaguya's face was almost completely wrinkled, the goddess of justice, Astraea, stepped forward at the right moment.

She smiled gently, but her voice was firm: "Kaguya, the competition is over, and the agreement must be kept."

The goddess sealed the deal with a single blow.

"As for the wedding date," Astraea said, glancing at Lynn and then at Kaguya, "you two can decide for yourselves."

After saying that, she even cupped her face in her hands, striking a pose like a mother marrying off her daughter, and muttered to herself:

"Oh dear, I haven't even had a chance to teach Kaguya how to be a good wife, and she's already getting married. I really hate to see her go."

"Goddess Astraea!" Kaguya was about to go crazy.

She looked around at her companions' knowing smirks and felt utterly ashamed.

Suddenly, her gaze settled on the only figure in the crowd who remained aloof, yet couldn't hide the smile on his lips.

No, I can't let myself be the only one being teased.

Kaguya's eyes lit up, and she rushed over, grabbed Ryu's arm, and pulled her forcefully in front of Astraea.

"Goddess! You can teach her in the future!"

Kaguya pointed at Ryu, who looked completely bewildered, and said loudly:

"This silly elf definitely has the talent to be a pampered wife!"

"Huh?" Ryu was completely dumbfounded.

The entire courtyard fell silent for a moment, then erupted with an earth-shattering roar.

"Hahahaha! Kaguya, you're really determined to drag Ryuya down with you!"

"Liu? A pampered wife? She can't even let anyone touch her, and she always has a cold face. Hahaha, I can't imagine this combination."

The group erupted into chaos, and even Lynn couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, alright, children, you still have to go out on patrol. Go have breakfast first!"

The goddess Astraea wore a smile.

"Oh! Time to eat!"

Astai was the first to respond, wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth, and ran towards the house first.

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped joking and followed along, laughing and joking.

However, as they passed by Kaguya, Alexie and Iska exchanged a glance and suddenly grabbed Kaguya's arms, one on each side.

What are you doing!

Before Kaguya could react, her companions pushed her to the back without saying a word.

"Oh dear, our deputy commander, the competition is over. You and your fiancé are walking together, so we won't disturb you any longer."

As Alexie pushed her, she turned around and winked at Lynn.

"That's right, that's right! We should start building our relationship now!" Niz cheered from the front, making a "go for it!" gesture.

In the blink of an eye, the large group of people forcibly left Kaguya and Lynn at the very back.

Kaguya was no match for her group of "bad friends" and could only watch helplessly as they disappeared through the door.

She was so angry that her teeth itched, and she glared fiercely at the backs of the group of people.

"Those bad guys..."

She then in a complicated way transferred this pent-up anger to Lynn beside her.

She glanced at him quickly, her eyes filled with embarrassment, then turned her head away, too embarrassed to meet his gaze.

"Good things come to those who wait, we can still go in later." Lynn didn't seem to mind.

Behind Lynn, Chunji stood there blankly.

She looked at Kaguya, who had been deliberately pushed next to Lynn by her companions.

Looking at the two of them standing side by side, I suddenly didn't know where to go.

Lord Lynn... won.

Kaguya-sama... became his fiancée.

What about yourself?

Am I still Lord Lynn's servant? Or should I follow him around like before, never leaving his side?

But... standing next to him now is Lord Kaguya.

If I follow along, wouldn't that be... unnecessary?

Chunji's fox ears drooped limply, her small hands gripping the hem of her clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white.

She looked down at her toes, feeling like an outsider, isolated from that bustling world.

Perhaps... I should hide under the car right now?

Just as Chunji was feeling bitter, Lynn suddenly took her hand and gently comforted her, "Chunji, just do what you did before."

“My wife is definitely not that petty.”

Upon hearing the word "wife," Kaguya's body visibly stiffened. She turned her head and glared at Lynn: "We're not married yet."

Lynn said matter-of-factly, "It can be done anytime!"

"How about I go talk to the goddess right now and get it done tonight?"

"you!"

Kaguya was so angry that she couldn't speak, and her cheeks started to turn red again. She simply turned around and left.

Lynn smiled, took Chunji's hand, and quickly followed after her.

"Kaguya, have you ever heard of marriage of convenience that blossoms into love? We can slowly cultivate our feelings for each other!"

……

In the hall, Maru, Celty, and Noin had already gone to the kitchen to prepare food.

Meanwhile, the werewolf Niz and the Amazonian warrior Ishka stood on either side, like two guardian deities, staring intently at the dwarf Aste.

"What are they doing?" Lynn asked Kaguya curiously.

Before Kaguya could answer, Alexie, sitting in the chair, chuckled and explained in a low voice:

“That’s Astay’s private guard post.”

"Don't let Astay's small stature and slender figure fool you, she's the biggest eater around here."

“If we don’t keep an eye on her, she’ll definitely sneak into the kitchen and steal food when we’re not looking.”

Caught red-handed, Asthai puffed out her cheeks slightly and retorted defiantly, "I won't! I promise, I definitely won't this time!"

"Come on!"
