Asked to Be the Wife of a Pervert ①

Translated by AmaLynne

「You’re bothering others!」

An exasperated-looking Erica kicked the young man in the back, who had even begun to shed tears.

「Ghee!」

The young man falls forward and stops moving.

「Um, what, what is this?」

Sam was left confused, not knowing what it all meant.

He looks to the sisters again for a good explanation.

「’Well, you see, Sam, this is the guy.」

「Never mind, he’s just a pervert.」

Erica interrupted Lise, who was having trouble saying it, with a single word:「Pervert.」

「Pervert?」

「This guy―――」

As Erica tried to explain to Sam, the young man stood up without a sound.

His tear-stained eyes gazed at Sam.

With a jolt, Sam took a step back.

「I was surprised when I received the information… that Ulrike had passed away, but I didn’t want to believe it. But when I saw you, I was convinced. Ulrike is really dead.」

「Yes. I am sorry to inform you that Ur has passed away.」

「I knew it… I feel Ulrike’s magic from you. It seems she has indeed found the successor she has been looking for.」

「―――!?」

Sam was surprised.

There was no way he could sense Ur from his own magic.

He had inherited all of her power from her, but he did not think that a third party could determine one magic power from two mixtures of magic powers.

But it didn’t look like Günther was lying.

He is definitely confirming Ur’s magical power within Sam.

「What the hell are you?」

In response to Sam’s question, the young man took out a handkerchief, wiped his eyes, and opened his mouth.

「Excuse me. I haven’t even told you my name yet. I am Günther Ignaz. I am Ulrike Walker’s fiancée.」

「U-Ur fiancée!?」

Sam couldn’t believe his ears.

No, Ur is also the eldest daughter of a noble family.

She might have at least had a fiancée.

But when she learned that her fiancé was the beautiful young man in front of him, he felt a bad feeling in his heart.

「You know, Sam. Günther’s fiancée is a self-proclaimed one.」

「Eh?」

「This guy is the self-proclaimed fiancée.」

「Ehhhhh…?」

Following Lise, Erica also referred to Günther, who claimed to be Ur’s fiancée, as a「self-proclaimed fiancée.」

However, Günther refuted the claim.

「No! I’m not a self-proclaimed fiancée! Real fiancée!」

「You’re the only one saying that! Even my sister was annoyed!」

「She was shy!」

「How could sister Ur be shy?」

To the stunned sisters,「That’s not true! 」. Günther continued to argue.

「Ulrike was shy! The proof of this is that whenever I smile at him, she turns her face away.」

「Isn’t that just because she didn’t want to make eye contact?」

Erica’s words were harsh.

「Erica! To your future brother!」

「Come on, get a grip on reality. She would never have married even if she’s still alive, but now that she’s dead, it’s never going to happen.」

「Oh, um, Erica-sama, I think we’re about there.」

Sam, who had been left behind, finally understood that Günther was only in love with Ur.

Although it was a little strange for him to call himself a fiancée, he felt sorry for the same man that Ur’s sisters were denying off the top of their heads that it was not a possibility.

「You know, Sam. I think you got an idea of what kind of man he is from that exchange between Günther and Erica.」

「Oh, yes. That means he liked Ur.」

「It’s more than that.」

Lise sighed heavily as if remembering the past.

「For a long time, Günther had a crush on sister. He confessed his feelings for her many times and was rejected each time. The repetition. If that was all, it would have been cute, but Günther’s words and actions became extreme. Before my sister left, he was stalking me.」

「…oh.」

「He would come up to the house without a care in the world because of our close family ties, and he would even ransack my room to take advantage of my sister’s absence for the past few years.」

「Uwaaaa.」

「…How many times have Erica and I fought him off? I’ve lost count.」

Now he knows why Erica called Günther a「pervert 」.

(Ransacking the room of someone you love, that’s normal. Wait no, isn’t that a crime? How could the Master let this man in and out of his mansion?)

「Lise, that would give Samuel-kun the wrong idea about me.」

「What? No misunderstanding, nothing.」

「I am only purely and deeply in love with Ulrike!」

「Huh. I don’t know how many times we’ve had this exchange. So, what is Günther doing here? No way, if you try to ransack my sister’s room again, I won’t allow it.」

Lise held up her wooden sword soundlessly, and Günther raised his hands.

「Don’t get me wrong, I just wanted to check on Ulrike today.」

「Now, if you’re done with your business, please leave.」

「No, my business is not finished yet. I have business with Samuel-kun.」

「Sam?」

「Me?」

Sam and Lise wondered together what on earth he is going to do.

「I couldn’t believe that Ulrike had taken on a disciple. I thought you were lying to get to the Count Walker family. That’s why I thought about getting rid of you. But I was wrong. You really inherited everything from Ulrike. I accept you as her disciple.」

「He doesn’t need your approval, though.」

「Erica, I’m talking to Samuel-kun right now. Don’t interrupt me.」

「Yes, yes.」

Günther approaches Sam.

「I was angry with you. Then I was jealous. I was jealous of you because you inherited everything from Ulrike, which I couldn’t do. And above all, I was saddened by the fact that Ulrike had passed away. But―――」

Günther places his hands on Sam’s shoulders.

Then he put a smile on his neat face.

「You’re here. You’ve inherited everything Ulrike had, and you’re here.」

「Uh, you mean?」

「Samuel Scheidt. ―――I make you my wife.」‡

「―――HiiIII?」

―――A chill ran through Sam entire body.
