Chapter 168: The Brideās Conference and The String Swimsuit
[Then, anyone against the engagement of Touya-san and the Princess Hildegard, the first Princess of the Restia Knight Kingdom, raise their hands]
No one raised their hands towards Yuminaās dignified voice.
[Then, we unanimously accept Princess Hildegarde as our kindred soul. Both in supporting our husband, becoming good wives and good mothers]
(TL: Touya cult :p)
[Thank you very much! I will do my best!]
Princess Hilda lowers her head while shedding tears as the other six fiancees raise an applause. What is this?
There are eight people in this room namely: me, my fiancees and also Princess Hildegard. This is the so-called [Brides Conference], which seems to approve the marriage of Princess Hilda. However, why am I, the related party, sitting in the furthest seat?
[Look here. Are you not going to consider anything that I say no matter how much I say it?]
Yumina sends a short reproachful gaze.
[Does Touya-san dislike Princess Hilda?]
[There is no reason for that]
[Then, are you dissatisfied with her appearance?]
[Not a chance. I think she is pretty]
[Her personality?]
[Sheās diligent and gives her best effort for the nation. Sheās a wonderful person]
[Then, is there problem with her birth or homeland?]
[That is not a problem. Sheās a princess like Yumina and Rue]
[Then, it seems you donāt have any objections, do you?]
[Uguu]
Yumina rounds up the questioning while showing a grinning smile. When I look around, Princess Hilda was looking down with a deep red face. Thereās definitely no reason to refuseā¦ā¦. But, how do I say it? What is this [If I withdraw here I will never be able to raise my head!] feeling!?
I donāt feel like I could win against the seven of them, much less against one of them even at best of times!
Speaking of polygamy, does a husband even have a chance of winning if his wives firmly huddle together!?
[ā¦ā¦Is everyone really fine with this?]
[I would have raised my hand a while ago If I didnāt]
[ā¦ we believe that she is the same as other fiancees in that she came to love Touya-san and that she is an appropriate comrade as well as family]
Elsie and Lindsey spoke. Did you understand that much even though you just met? ā¦.. Was it Yuminaās magic eye? I see.
Whenever Yumina invokes her magic eye, it looks like she can see a color of personās essence like some sort of aura. A person with a beautiful heart will have it glittering, and someone with a guilty and malicious heart will have its color be muddy.
It seems she canāt see through the essence of whatās below subconscious, but I donāt understand the details. I was told Yumina also made judgments based on its color and her intuition.
In other words, itās [someway or another]. However, she is able to distinguish [a person who is good though he acts tough] or [a person who is bad though acts as good guy] as an effect of being able to see the essence. Because that Yumina gives her approval, therefore it may be like that, butā¦
[I think this is a good opportunity. Even if I and Yumina are princesses, we are from the countries in the west. But Hilda is from the east and, after what happened in Yuuron, she is the princess of the largest country. There is nothing scarier than connecting both the West and the East]
Rue has spoken of those things. It somehow feels dangerousā¦ā¦.
If I have strong connections with Restia, then that versatility will definitely be effective in the east someway, butā¦ā¦.
[But you seeā¦ā¦]
[You need to be more clear. Touya should have more confidence. You are [Popular] like sister-in-law have said!]
[Popular you sayā¦ā¦.]
[Arenāt you popular? Doesnāt everyone here love Touya ~ja?]
My face turns red immediately due to what Suu have said. Dangerous! Am I glad or embarrassed!?
Muuuuuuuuā¦ā¦. I donāt want that kind of words to decide it after I dragged it that long butā¦ā¦.
While I was glancing towards the princess, her anxious gaze collided with mine. I wish you donāt make such a face as if you want to cry.
[ā¦ā¦ I understand. If everyone is fine with thisā¦]
Waa! Everyone gather around Princess Hilda and give their blessings. Hearing that girlish high pitched laughter and giggling, I once again have confirmed that I canāt win against them at all. I feel a slight uneasiness towards the future.
[Then, Princess Hilda. The battle with Senāou-heika howeverā¦ā¦.]
[Please call me Hilda. From now on, I am your fiancee and your first knight]
Princess Hildaā¦. err, Hilda turns her eyes to me while smiling. Letās keep it a secret that I felt a little shock at her proudful expression.
[I got it. Hilda. Then, regarding the fight with Senāou-heika, is there a chance of winning?]
[Honestly, I think itās difficult. The probability of fighting ojii-sama and winning is about 10%, I believeā¦ā¦]
Thatās low. As I have thought. Is that old man considerably strong? However, even though it is only 10%, it isnāt like she canāt win at all.
[Wellā¦ In addition to that, it wasnāt a victory due to my skills. I can say he had bad luck while I had an excellent luck at the same time by chanceā¦ā¦.]
[In other words, you are saying it was just coincidence ~jana]
[Yesā¦ā¦.]
Donāt say it so frankly, Suu. Look. Doesnāt she look depressed?
I think the opponent may be caught off guard if thereās only this difference on the contrary. She may be victorious if she takes advantage of the old man possibly taking her lightly and getting caught.
The weapon of choice for the match is a sword if Iām not mistaken. Itās a fight of only using physical abilities without magic.
[Touya-dono, is there anything that can be done ~degozaru?]
[Hmmm. How about doing something like putting the blinding powder at the edge of the sword or planting explosive on the grip of his sword? Or apply plenty of support magic on Hildaās weapon and armor with [Enchant]?]
[T-that kind of winning is a littleā¦ā¦ it is against the chivalry spirit]
I guess so. Well, there are a lot of methods though. The important thing is that itās fine as long as you donāt use magic directly. Kukuuku.
[You are making an evil face again ~degozaruā¦ā¦]
[You probably have come up with some underhanded way. I donāt feel relieved in a sense]
[It doesnāt seem like itās something promisingā¦ā¦ā¦]
Donāt say selfish things. Iām not thinking of unfair things.
At the same time the match starts, Senāou attacks start cornering Hilda. Though she was forced into a defensive fight, she still somehow managed to avoid the incoming wooden sword, parrying, blocking and enduring it.
[Whatās wrong!? Are your feeling for His Majesty the Sovereign King only that much!?]
[ā¦ā¦ I believe in Touya-sama. If I move just as how Touya-sama have said, I will certainly be able to grasp victory!]
[As he have said? Then show me!]
His attacking hand quickens even more. He strikes his granddaughter with a storm of a barrage. Hildaās defenses are gradually collapsing. Even if she stops the attack with her wooden shield, the impact hits her arm. Itās natural her movements will become dull if those shocks accumulate.
In the underground training ground, the audiences are only my fiancees and me. I had the escorts wait outside.
Hilda exerts her defenses as much as she can. I have told her to never miss the opponentās opening and aim for a one-shot reversal. After catching the opponent unguarded, she will finish it with one attack.
Hilda pushes his wooden sword aside with her shield and takes distance. She probably used a considerable amount of stamina. Her breath has already become rough.
The old man who is her opponent appears as if he has more room to spare while showing a slight smile.
[Muuā¦ā¦ Strong ~degozaru. While being a sword of the knight, I also feel its violence of wild combat. If we assume that Hilda-dono is weak, then it is strong. It is the sword which pushes through brutally rather than with technique ~degozaru]
[But isnāt she withstanding it somehow? I think it is making a pretty good match]
[Thatās because she is completely devoting herself to defense. However, she canāt win in her current state. Her defense will eventually crumble and she will be defeated]
Yae, Elsie, and Rue, the three fighterās faction of our house, analyze the match. However, Rue has also become strong-willedā¦ā¦. It is hard to believe that sheās the one trembling during the coup dāetat. I guess she must have been shocked at what happened during that time.
Her combat ability doesnāt reach to Yae or Elsie by a small margin, but she is still quite skillful right now. Because she is mixing my and Yaeās fighting styles, she ends up pretty much being self-taught.
[Itās any time now, isnāt it? I somewhat hope she doesnāt miss the opponentās opening though]
[But will Senāou-Heika make an opening? Whatever the lower status she might have, his granddaughter is still his opponentā¦ā¦]
[Itās not that he will create it. It will be createdā¦ by me]
Eh? After leaving behind Yumina who made a puzzled face, I then concentrate my magic power. Fortunately, because there is a handy movie lying on the net, and it wonāt be that difficult.
SenāOu starts running while facing Hilda to make a finishing blow. Now!
I float an illusion of the movie about two meters behind Hilda with [Mirage].
[tsu!?]
Senāou-Heika opened his eye widely, and his movements stopped instantly. Though she didnāt understand what had happened, Hilda who had been waiting for this chance all this time slashed her wooden sword with all her might against Senāou-Heikaās body.
[Gufuuu!?]
If that was a real sword, his upper and lower body would become two. Senāou-heika collapsed on the ground just like that. Good!
[ā¦ā¦ Touya-san]
[What?]
[Who was the woman wearing a string-like swimsuit whom I have seen for just a moment behind Hilda-san?]
A gravure Onee-san dressed in a micro bikini while making a lascivious pose was on the screen of my smartphone. I donāt know who she is even if you ask, but there is no doubt that itās a quite dangerous swimsuit. She has a tanned skin, captivating eyes, a stylish body with a greatly appealing part of hers.
[I won! I won ~yo! Touya-sama! I- did it!]
I wave my hand in return to Hilda who looks overjoyed. The others also applaud while smiling, but they are also muttering something in a low voice.
[Ah, to be able to create an opening so easilyā¦ā¦]
[A man isā¦ā¦.]
[ā¦ary that. Onee-chan]
[Didnāt she have an extremely large chestā¦..]
[Do you prefer that kind of swimsuit Touya-san?]
[Huh? Where are you going, Touya?]
With the exception of Suu, everyoneās eyes are not smiling. Do you think I can stay here anymore!? Itās the Thirty-Six Stratagems!
I jump down from audience seats to the training ground and start approaching Hilda to say āWell done!ā. Cold gazes pierce my back, but I mustnāt turn around.
[Touya-sama! I won! With this, I also can marry Touya-sama for life!]
Why has grandpa made that opening? Hilda doesnāt seem to care about that and is rejoicing, as Senāou-heika is crouching on the ground while groaning in a low voice next to her.
[You have done well defeating meā¦ā¦. However, for me to stand against the two of you the second and third time, it will be quite an ordealā¦ā¦.]
[What kind of Maou are you?]
I cast recovery magic on Senāou-Heika. Really, was this person the King of the Knights Kingdom? Ah, wasnāt it said that he was adopted as a son-in-law? He doesnāt look like a knight at all.
Did he recover already? Senāou-heika stood up and looked at Hilda.
[I fully realized how immature I am. A defeat is a defeat. I have fully grasped your resolution. I permit you to get married. I also donāt have any complaints about the brat. From now on, you are not from Restia, so become a knight of Brunhild]
[Ojii-samaā¦ā¦..]
[Touya-dono. My granddaughter can only swing a sword, but please take care of her forever]
[ā¦ā¦I understand. Please be at ease]
Senāou-heika said so and bowed.
[ā¦ā¦And then. Where and who was the young girl in a swimsuit from awhile ago!? Once more! Let me burn her figure in my memory even if itās only once more ~ja!]
[Swimsuit?]
[Ah~ā¦ā¦ Senāou-heika. Since I canāt do it here, is it alright to do it in another room?]
[Oh, thatās right ~ja! Hilda, go with the other people. Itās is better for you to hear different kinds of things from them. Then, Touya-dono, shall we go!?]

While yanking me, Senāou-Heika forcefully pulls me away. Isnāt he going to complain about the gap that has been created because of the illusion? By any chance, didnāt this person intend to lose from the beginning? I was thinking that for some time.
Afterward, I have been made to make a number of similar drawings from the pictures of gravure idols with [Drawing] due to Senāou-heikaās persuasion. Where does his ero power come fromā¦ā¦.?
When I returned to my room exhausted, everyone was waiting except for Suu and Hilda. I was interrogated in different ways. To sum it up, I was asked about my preference in women. Those were questions like āis it better to have bigger breast?ā, ādo I prefer a slender style?ā, or ādo I like erotic appearances like that which was shown?ā
At the end, I had to prostrate on the ground and ask for forgiveness since they proposed that āeveryone should wear a micro bikini!ā. As expected. I cannot let them do that, the stimulation will be too strong.
