Chapter 43.2 – Happy Marriage, Painful Wedding (1)

Hearing the host’s words, everyone stared at General Rasp.

Eh, what?

I seriously never heard about this.

When I looked at Laura-san, she shook her head with her eyes wide open.

You didn’t hear about this either huh.

This is our wedding, how come it’s going to start with a speech by an old guy I’ve never met?

Is he going to start talking about three bags?

TN: The three bags are “patience bag”, “salary bag”, and “bag”. It refers to things related to married life.

「First of all, I’m honored to be able to attend this wonderful event.」

The romance gray General Rasp has a low, well-defined voice.

TN: an attractive old man.

As expected of a general, his majesty is different.

As he slowly began speaking into the microphone magic tool, the entire audience was instantly drawn to him.

「 Everyone knows about Major Laura “Light Ray” Slayra but many of you don’t know about his groom. Sawadi Slayra.」

I don’t even know you.

「He is the actual inventor of the changeable magic crystal magic construct that has become an indispensable part of the military.」

The audience was stunned. And so do I.

Why is this thing suddenly being divulged?

Where’s the unspoken agreement on giving up achievements!!

「He is also the inventor of the key technology behind the Grand Frank Railroad that has been making a lot of noise in recent years. He’s still a student but he is already a researcher who has achieved a lot.」

The crowd’s excitement grew even louder than before.

「For reasons of his personal protection, this fact has been kept under the wraps as a top-secret matter. However, how can the nation not reward a great achiever? There is no more appropriate day than this day to make his greatness known to the world and so it shall be!」

The audience applauded loudly to the powerful words of the former general who was clenching his fist.

No no no no, there’s no need to whistle.

Ugh, I feel sick……

「Hence, the Ministry of Defense shall confer upon him the Order of the High Eagle with Sword while the Ministry of Finance shall confer upon him the Order of the Three Diamond Rings. Sawadi Slayra! Forward!」

「Yes!」

I didn’t even understand what he was saying but my body moved automatically.

The movement of receiving things from superiors, which has been thoroughly taught in the academy, replayed on its own.

School education is great and most of all, useful.

I stood upright and immobile in front of General Rasp while waiting for him to speak.

「Congratulations!」

「I’m honored!」

I turned around to face the audience and bowed deeply again.

The applause was louder compared to the applause at the entrance of the bride and groom.

What the heck….

I was swept away and received two medals with pension.

When I lifted my head, Dean Estoma smiled at me wryly.

Dean Estoma, do you know about this!?

I was tapped on my shoulder from behind.

The former general is standing behind me and says “Don’t feel bad. The marshal likes to surprise people.”.

No, no, it’s not like that….

Well, I know you’re part of it but…..

If you know something, please contact me in advance behind the scenes….

I returned to my seat after walking softly. I couldn’t even sit straight because my hips shattered.

Even so, medals.

This is the best thing I could get as a new noble but this also means I’m already completely taken in by the army, right?

I looked at Laura-san nervously and our eyes met.

She looks away awkwardly and says,

「I think it’s probably because of the test trip of Grand Frank Railroad that it became this big.」

Ah, I see.

It’s a problem if the people involved in major projects that even the royal family monitors aren’t appreciated.

If this was found out later, it would become a major issue that’s why they waited for a commoner to become a noble first.

Well, that’s rough.

I listen to the host’s voice reading the introduction but I don’t feel like hearing anything.

The sky is blue, and so is my heart.

However, my stain-free, brand-new white suit hurts my eyes.
