Volume 13 Special: Ms. Fenli's Bridal Training

[※Contains spoilers, recommended to read after reading this novel]

A few days passed after the group found a way to return to Earth.

Hajime and the others had now arrived at the Dragon People settlement. Since they wouldn't be able to return to Earth for a while once they moved to Earth, Hajime, mindful of Tio's feelings, decided to let her stay in her hometown for a few days before heading to Earth. Hajime and the others had been invited to join them. On their first day, a grand banquet was held, and everyone was thoroughly entertained. It was now noon, the day after the banquet.

"Ms. Yue, please listen carefully. Everything you do must focus on the fundamentals."

“…Ugh…”

"If you don't have a solid foundation, you won't be able to apply it. You have to practice diligently... Ah! I haven't even finished my sentence, and you're already slacking off with magic! Why do you always rely on magic!?"

In the kitchen of the Kularus family mansion, the sound of a woman's harsh lecture and Yue's timid moans could be heard.

With Yue is Fenli, Tio's servant and second mother. Both are wearing traditional Japanese aprons.

"It seems you still have a lot to learn before you can even begin to cook. Even the preparation stage is already turning the kitchen into a battlefield..."

A chopping board broken in half. A pot with holes in it. A half-destroyed stove. And all sorts of crushed ingredients...

“…I’m ashamed.”

"Instead of apologizing, why not stop trying to reach the top and start from the basics."

Not only cooking, Finley also tested Yue's performance in cleaning and washing clothes. Yue always used wind and water magic to remove dirt.

Perhaps this is the downside of being a genius. Once I think of a more efficient method, I can't resist trying it, regardless of whether the result is successful or not.

"You're passable at sewing, but everything else is terrible. With all due respect, how do you manage these demands during your travels?"

"...Our Shia is very good."

"Don't say that so proudly!"

"...Ouch." Yue could only moan softly after being harshly reprimanded again. Fenli was nearly three times Yue's age, a woman of great dignity, perfectly fitting the image of the legendary dragon-person Yue admired.

Whenever Yue was stared at by her pair of dragon eyes, she always felt as if her heart was seen through and seemed to be uneasy.

"With your limited ability, you think you can replace my princess and become the main wife!?" If this series of inspections was just to come to such a conclusion, that is, the so-called "mother-in-law's difficulty with her daughter-in-law", Yue could still deal with it. But...

"Ms. Yue, please listen to me."

Fenli placed her cold palms against Yue's cheeks, her movements very gentle.

"No matter what you think, you will be the most watched bride in the world. You will be a special bride whose name will be recorded in history books."

Fenli's expression was very sincere, like a mother giving her children earnest advice.

"You are an extraordinary woman, Finley certainly knows that. However, people focus on flaws more than strengths; that's human nature. Mr. Hajime will marry brides of all races and nationalities, and you will be the principal wife among them, so that goes without saying."

It wasn't a big deal at this point, when people still remembered the Mythical War. However, it was human nature to forget the pain once the wound had healed.

Unlike other women who played a particularly active role in the war, Yue was a character who was saved. Even though news of her defeating the evil god alongside Hajime spread, her active role remained vague in people's minds. Therefore, she was bound to be criticized one day, and some outspoken people might even claim that the woman they supported was worthy of being Hajime's wife.

"I don't expect you to be perfect, and there's no need to force yourself. You can just ignore other people's gossip. Besides, Mr. Hajime will definitely punish those who speak without restraint for you."

"……Um."

Fenli continued to talk, her tone becoming harsh again. You could tell it was a harshness born of genuine concern for the other person, a genuine concern that she wouldn't hesitate to show even if she was disliked.

Fenli's care made Yue feel itchy inside, even wanting to squirm. But she suppressed the urge and looked directly into those eyes that could see through the truth.

"But, Miss Yue, what about you? Can your modesty tolerate such a thing?"

"...I can't, and I don't want to."

"Very good." Fenli was very satisfied with Yue's answer and gently stroked her head, as if praising a good child. Yue couldn't help but blush, and the itchy feeling deep in her chest became stronger.

“…Don’t treat me like a child.”

"Hehe. But in my opinion, you're still a child."

If the adult version of Yue flashed a seductive smile, few in the world would be able to disobey her. However, Yue had a feeling that this trick wouldn't work on Fenli. If she were to gaze at her with such warmth and concern, Yue would be filled with unbearable shame. And Yue didn't want to deliberately test the law.

"...Yes. I will continue to work hard on my bridal training. Please give me your guidance."

"No problem. But let's pause for now."

"Huh!?" Yue couldn't help but cry out in surprise. Fenli's lecture had just energized her, but why was she being stopped from continuing her training?

"Ms. Yue has exquisite control over magic, but she's surprisingly careless when it comes to housework and cooking. I believe the reason lies in your magic."

"...Hmm? What do you mean?"

"I'd like to take this opportunity to give you a gift. This way, please."

Finley led Yue to a room that seemed to be her bedroom. Finley opened the paper sliding door, entered the room, and asked Yue to stand in front of a tall full-length mirror.

"Ms. Yue, please put it on."

"...Is this...a kimono of the Dragon People?"

"Yes. It's a dragon-man custom to give kimonos to children at their weddings. However, I haven't prepared enough for everyone yet."

It seems that it's not just Tio's turn, Fenli plans to give kimonos to all the brides.

"So beautiful..." Yue couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as she looked at the kimono that Fenli took out.

"This is just my personal impression, but I think Miss Yue is most suitable for the color 'red', the same color as your eyes. So I prepared this kimono for you."

The base color of this kimono is red, reminiscent of autumn leaves, and is embellished with white floral patterns and beautiful gold embroidery. It is immediately apparent that this kimono was specially prepared for Yue.

"Since you're going to wear it, why not learn how to put it on?"

The kimono itself was adult-sized, and at Fenli's urging, Yue transformed into an adult-sized appearance.

"Uh...thank you. I'm sorry for all the trouble you've taken."

"Haha, you're welcome... I'll leave our princess in your care."

"...Yeah, leave it to me. I'll definitely make everyone happy."

"Please correct the princess's strange habit and stop her from panting so dangerously."

“… Ugh, this might be a little difficult…”

"As the principal wife, how could you not be able to do such a small thing? In addition, you must also be strict with yourself in your daily life. When you go to live in another world, you must pay special attention to the hygiene and safety of food and water. Your health must be given priority in everything. You must also communicate and get along patiently with the people of the Nanyun family—"

"I, I know! No need to remind me!"

Unconsciously, Fenli began to ramble on with good intentions, but the look in her eyes in the mirror was full of love.

Just like a mother... Yue almost said this subconsciously, but quickly swallowed it back. Realizing the source of this itchy feeling in her heart, she felt very embarrassed.

"Ms. Yue, this is all right. Put it on. Haha, it's so beautiful."

“…Um, thank you.”

The image of Yue in the full-length mirror, dressed in her kimono, was truly breathtakingly beautiful. It was a beauty distinct from voluptuousness, like a work of art. And precisely because of this, Fenli's next words surprised Yue even more.

"Okay, let's continue our bridal training then."

"Huh? Are you going to do housework in such a beautiful kimono?!"

"Yes. This is a gift that I, Finley, spent all night crafting with my own hands. You must wear it while doing things."

Although Fenli's smile was bright, it looked scary. Yue's cheeks twitched stiffly.

"You won't get it dirty, will you?"

This seemed to be the real reason why Fenli had Yue wear the kimono. If Yue didn't concentrate and be careful while doing housework or cooking, she would ruin Fenli's good intentions.

In this case, Yue has only one answer.

“… Of course!”

At the same time, Yue thought to herself: This person is someone I can't afford to offend.

Volume 13 Special Bonus: Shia's Great Victory~~!!

[※Contains spoilers, recommended to read after reading this novel]

After the Myth War ended, in a room in the dormitory of the capital of Feyalbergen.

“…Hehe, how’s it going?”

“Oh, oh…”

A seductive voice and a sigh echoed in quick succession. It was Yue and Hajime. However, Yue's appearance was different from usual. She looked about seventeen years old, radiating the allure of a young woman on the verge of maturity. A charming smile graced Yue's face, a smile that would surely captivate anyone who saw it.

"If there were girls like this in school, it would be impossible to concentrate on class."

"Hmm~~♪"

Yue's cheeks flushed with joy at Hajime's praise. At the same time, Hajime's mention of "school" gave Yue a sudden inspiration. A mischievous smile appeared on her face, and she turned her back to Hajime.

“…Hashi, don’t look at me until I say so.”

"Hmm? That's fine..."

Yue usually didn't care about such things, so Hajime found it strange that she said that today. However, Hajime still turned his back to her as she said.

“…Yeah, I’m ready. Hajime, look over here.”

As soon as Hajime turned around, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. This was no wonder, because the moon was now...

"...How is it? Do the ponytail and pants suit me?"

She's dressed up in the same style as Shizuku normally does!

"This is outrageous! This is incredibly cute! You need to reflect on this!"

It seems that Mr. Hajime's mind has gone astray. At this moment—

“Hajime, are you there? I’m going in. I have something to ask you—”

Shizuku opened the door and entered the room, only to witness this scene—a seventeen-year-old girl named Yue, dressed similarly to herself, happily striking various poses. Meanwhile, Hajime was praising her ponytail.

After meeting Shizuku's eyes, Hajime unconsciously let out an "Ah". And after a pause—

"Since you like ponytails and pants so much..."

"Uh...Shizuku?"

“Why don’t you just come to me?! Hajime, you big idiot aa ...

Shizuku yelled as she sprinted away from the scene. "Eh? Shizuku-chan!? What's wrong with you? Shizuku-chan, wait a minute~~!" Kaori's voice echoed from the other end of the corridor.

"...Well, it was just an unfortunate accident."

Yue coughed dryly, then calmly let her entire body glow and transformed again. This time, she transformed into...

“…Hmm, Hajime~ How do you feel about this~?”

That was a little girl—no, an angel, really. Her round cheeks were so soft and supple you could tell without even touching them. Her hands were as delicate as maple leaves, and her lilting tongue made her look incredibly adorable.

Facing such an adorable five-year-old version of Yue, Hajime's reaction was—

"This is outrageous! Your cuteness isn't just off the charts, it's sky-high! How will you be held responsible if something happens to my brain?!"
