Academy’s Second Seat

The Railer House, the office.

“Hmm… … .”

again-

“thank you.”

I got a drink from Luna’s father.

Although he was young, he had no problems drinking.

The academy students were prohibited from drinking and smoking within the academy, but it was not an act prohibited by the Empire’s law.

It was my first time drinking alcohol after coming to this world, so I was worried that I might make a mistake, but since it’s been a long time since I’ve had alcohol, expectations have also risen.

Luna’s father held out the glass.

I was polite and took my glass.

Although I may be of high rank, I have respect for my friend’s father.

Luna’s father drank the cup, and I drank it too.

“nice… … inhale.”

Alcohol with high alcohol content.

A subtle scent lingered in my mouth, and I felt a tingling sensation when I passed my esophagus.

Also, as soon as you step inside, a warm energy rises.

It definitely felt like high-end sake.

“Give me another drink.”

Luna’s father poured the drink back into my glass, and I gladly accepted it.

Luna’s father, who poured alcohol like that, quietly opened his mouth.

“Which do you think is more important, home or work?”

I lifted my head and looked at Luna’s father.

Luna’s father was talking, looking at the glass of wine without any change in expression.

It seemed like a bit of an odd question.

I thought we were going to share a story about Luna, but when we suddenly talked like this, I had a question.

“Isn’t both of them important?”

“Still, you must have your own beliefs.”

Luna’s father poured the glass and looked at me.

I pondered the question for a moment and then opened my mouth.

“It seems that the family comes first.”

“Why do you think so?”

“Just as running a family can strengthen the interior and take care of the exterior, the family must be calm in order to take care of business.”

When I said that, Luna’s father nodded.

I don’t know what he was thinking because his expression didn’t change, but he didn’t seem to have given a very wrong answer.

Luna’s father didn’t say much and took the glass to his mouth.

“I heard that he is emerging as a powerful heir to the Astrian family.”

I swallowed saliva at those words.

“Yes, we are working on it.”

“I’m going down a hard road.”

“Still, I thought it was necessary to protect my surroundings.”

The power of the Astrian family.

Apart from space magic, this is a family with tremendous power.

A family that lacks wealth, fame, power, and none of them.

I thought that if I had the strength of my family, I could still protect the people around me.

“Don’t you think it’s dangerous to attack Ian Astria?”

“It could be, but the people around me wouldn’t be so sarcastic. I believe in those around me, and I will make sure that doesn’t happen.”

When I said that, Luna’s father smiled contentedly.

“Get some sleep.”

It looked like he drank a little too much, but he was still conscious, so he took it.

“There’s something I’ve always wanted to do.”

Luna’s father told me not to pour alcohol.

“What are you talking about?”

“Am I the only man in my house?”

“yes… … .”

“So, I thought it would be nice to have a son.”

Luna’s father said, shaking the glass slightly.

“I wanted to have a drink with my son and talk about the imperial situation, tell honest stories, and have that kind of experience. That’s why I’ve always been envious of guys with sons.”

“… … Ah yes.”

I felt something uneasy.

“By the way, the son-in-law doesn’t seem bad either. chuckle It’s so fun to talk with my son-in-law over a drink like this.”

“… … yes?”

I stopped the accident with those words.

son-in-law?

Why did I suddenly become a son-in-law?

“I felt a little bad about taking our Luna, but… … .”

“I… … Luna’s father?”

Even though I knew it was rude, I interrupted Luna’s father.

Luna’s father laughed at my words.

“Heh heh, just call me Daddy.”

“Oh, no, it’s not like that… … .”

I opened my mouth carefully.

“Why am I the son-in-law… … .”

“Well?”

Luna’s father looked at me with puzzled eyes.

“… … Isn’t it?”

“uh… … .”

“Obviously, there was a story about marriage in the letter… … .”

“yes?”

At that moment, the door to the room where Luna’s father and I were was swung open.

In front of him were Luna’s mother and Luna.

“Dad!!!!”

“Lu, it’s Luna. hey, honey.”

Luna’s father looked at it and hardened his complexion.

“Hey, how did you get here?”

Luna’s father, who had been dignified earlier, was tired of his complexion turning white.

“Oh, man!”

Luna’s mother strode towards us and slapped her on the back.

“Evil, honey. Gee, I really want to talk for a moment!”

“I! I told you to stay still!”

“Hey, honey!”

Luna’s father shrugged as his mother patted her on the back.

Luna approached me and asked urgently.

“Oh, didn’t Dad say something strange? Just do something weird.”

Luna said so and looked at the glass in my hand.

“Hey, have you been drinking? to you?”

“uh… … I was drinking… … .”

“Dad!!!”

Luna turned her head and looked at her father.

“Lu, it’s Luna. It’s not like that.”

Father stuttered and waved his hands.

I quickly spoke to Luna like that.

“Luna! My, I said I’d drink! Dad didn’t say anything strange either, so it’s okay!”

“Oh, father?”

Luna’s eyes widened when she saw that I called her father.

I made the name strange because I was speaking in a hurry, but I moved on because it was the first thing to calm the situation.

“You haven’t been here in a while! Because nothing happened… … .”

As I explained it on behalf of my father, Luna’s mother came up to me with a smile.

“Hey Rudy. I’m sorry. Our kid doesn’t have enough iron… … . Even if you tell them to be quiet in front of the kids. Ho Ho… … .”

“Oh, no… … .”

I said with an awkward smile.

Mother nodded, then smiled.

“It’s late, so you can go back to your room.”

“yes… … All right.”

After I said that, I walked out of the room looking at my father.

My father gave me a thumbs up as if to express his gratitude.

next day.

I woke up early in the morning to warm up.

As I drank alcohol, I fell asleep early and fell asleep.

So even though I slept enough, I woke up early in the morning.

As I got out of the room and relaxed, I remembered yesterday’s conversation.

A letter… … .

What letter are you talking about?

Reasoning the situation, the only answer was that it was a letter from Luna.

Luna was the only person in the Railer family related to me.

So, what kind of letter did Luna send her father to react like that? It was a little strange.

When I met the butler in front of the Railer mansion, I reacted to the name Rudy, not the Astrian family.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with getting to know me as I’m famous in the capital these days, but it was a little strange that they responded to my name when I introduced myself.

“Hmm… … .”

However, there is no way Luna would have sent a strange lie to the mansion.

Luna wasn’t like that.

“Rudy?”

I turned my head to see Luna.

It was Luna in a simple white dress with a thin blanket wrapped around her shoulders.

The dress, which looked like a nightgown but was a plain outfit, went very well with Luna.

“You woke up so early?”

Luna said to me with a gentle smile.

Seeing that made me smile too.

“I slept early and woke up early.”

“Oh, you must have fallen asleep as soon as you entered yesterday? but… … I was tired, so I fell asleep right away.”

Luna seemed to understand. Well!’ he nodded his head.

“More than that, I’m sorry about yesterday’s Dad… … .”

“No, because nothing happened.”

As I shrugged, Luna glanced at me and opened her mouth.

“that… … Didn’t Dad say something strange?”

When I heard that, I thought about it for a while.

Would you like to say this… … .

It seems like your father misunderstood something, so I think it would be better to tell Luna and tell him.

“He called me son-in-law… … .”

“… … What?”

Luna widened her eyes.

“Oh, Dad? No, why did my dad suddenly… … .”

Luna said with a puzzled face.

“What letter are you talking about?”

“Open, a letter?”

Luna was embarrassed and narrowed her eyebrows.

I tilted my head at Luna’s reaction as if she didn’t know anything.

“You don’t know about the letter?”

“ah… … that… … .”

Luna stuttered, lowered her head and opened her mouth.

“I… … I used to exchange letters with my mom sometimes… … . I obviously told my dad not to show the contents… … . Did your father tell you about the letter?”

“I didn’t say that exactly… … Just asking why I’m son-in-law… … .”

“My mother is not the one to say that… … .”

Luna was crying as if she was embarrassed and spit out to herself.

I looked at Luna like that and smiled faintly.

“So, what did you write in that letter?”

“Uh, huh?”

Luna raised her head in bewilderment at my question.

I said in a playful tone.

“no way… … You didn’t lie, did you?”

“Nope! Absolutely not!”

Luna shook her head vigorously.

I didn’t think I’d be lying, but I just wanted to make fun of Luna.

“Then, what did you write that your father misunderstood?”

As I continued to ask, Luna looked at me with a blush in her face.

“Well, I don’t know what it is!”

“I don’t know?”

As I continued to ask playfully, Luna frowned and opened her mouth.

“How much I like Rudy.”

“uh?”

“How did you come to like Rudy, where do you like it, and what do you want to do together?”

I said about the letter, wondering if it was grumpy for me to keep playing around.

“I talked to my mom about what I imagined it would be like when I got married later! why!”

Luna spoke confidently, but her face was flushed with tears and bursting with tears.

Hearing those words in front of Luna made my face turn red.

I didn’t expect to hear such words in front of my eyes… … .

It felt like I was being pranked by Luna.

I turned my head slightly without looking into Luna’s eyes.

“all… … I didn’t have to say… … .”

“No, tell me!”

Luna turned her head to the other side of me, wondering if she couldn’t meet my eyes.

We were blushing, not looking at each other for a while.
