BXBX NOVEL Chapter 51: Marriage?
Chapter 51: Marriage?
After my birthday, I immediately received a letter from Ubuyashiki, telling me that he was sorry to miss the birthday celebration. And in the same letter, he wrote that I could take a vacation for as long as I needed.
I was confused at first because how the fuck did he know I was going to ask for a vacation?
For those who had forgotten, let me refresh your memories. At the age of 16, I was finally permitted to claim my inheritance! It was why I took the exams during the training arc remember?
So I was planning to ask for a break so that I could settle the documents. But Ubuyashiki somehow knew it beforehand and granted me permission.
Honestly, it was a little creepy.
Anyway, it has been two months since then and I had finally settled everything. I was now the rightful owner of huge acres of land and every savings my brother and father - who were both high-ranking military officers - had was finally mine.
I was filthy rich now. Well, I was rich before since being a Hashira and completing as many missions as I did paid quite well.
But now, I was not just rich, I was filthy rich.
"Seiji, its time for breakfast!" I looked through the walls and saw my aunt call for me. In the next second, she realized how stupid she was for calling a deaf person and she came to my room.
It has been two years, so of course that would slip her mind.
She slid open the door to my room and said, "Its time for breakfast Seiji."
"Coming." I said and got up. On the floor were beautiful paintings I had made just this morning alone.
Could you have guessed that having special eyes and perfect movement allowed you to create masterpieces? I didn\'t know it until I tried.
I went out of my room and joined both my uncle and aunt on the table. We all ate the food while having a small conversation between eating.
Things were just as it used to be.
I had been staying with them for months now since, you know, anything involving the government officials took an extremely long time. If the inheritance did not have sentimental value or was extremely valuable, I wouldn\'t even bother claiming it due to the hassle.
I never told them specifically that I was only here to claim my inheritance, They must\'ve thought that I was finally back.
"Seiji, what is your thought on marriage?" I saw my uncle say.
\'Finally talking about a topic other than politics? Sure, I can tolerate this one.\'
"Marriage is cool." I said while putting a boiled egg in my mouth.
\'Protein!!\'
"What is your opinion on you getting married?" he asked me again.
I nearly scoffed. Marrying? I dared not even think of that in my line of profession. I hope I don\'t but I could die any fucking moment. It would only take one encounter with the top three demons of the upper moon or Muzan.
Then I\'m cooked.
I was strong but not on their level just yet.
But marriage? That was the dream and one I would hopefully get to experience. I was not given a family in my past life and the one I was born into in this life got taken away from me.
So why not make a new family? After everything was over, I hope I could make a big family.
"That\'s the dream." I said with a shrug.
My uncle and aunt both looked at each other and smiled. I did not know why but I suddenly had a bad feeling.
"What?" I asked before putting another boiled egg in my mouth.
"We found a girl."
Pause.
And then..
I spat out the egg in my mouth and started choking on their words.
My uncle quickly passed me water and I downed the thing in a few seconds. After that, I took a deep breath and said.
"What do you mean you found a girl?"
"We found a girl you can marry. The father is an old friend of mine and his daughter is exactly the same age as you and she is looking for a husband."
"Aren\'t I a little too young?" I asked with a strained face.
"Nonsense, it\'s the perfect age. She can already marry by law at the age of 15 while you will be able to marry next year. It\'s the perfect time for an engagement."
I sighed and rubbed my forehead.
"What makes you guys even think of doing such things? That too without my consent."
"Well, I apologize if we were being too hasty, after all, you just returned. But you are already more than capable of marrying. You have claimed your inheritance so you have land and house. Not only that, you have the money and you said you also had a high-paying job. Plus, you are handsome and you are educated. There is no reason for us to think otherwise." My aunt said.
"If you want, we can stop." my uncle said.
\'Yes.\'
"And wait until next year."
\'No!!\'
Well, I could understand where they were coming from. It was Japan and traditionally, if you were financially stable and had a home, its common sense that you would marry next. And most marriages were arranged with the parents setting up the couple.
They were excited to take the role of my parents that way and find a good girl for me. I understand that. But sadly, I couldn\'t comply with thier desire. Not by a long shot.
"I\'m sorry, mother, father." I said, calling them with the name I should have been calling since they adopted me.
"But I can\'t marry yet. Heck, I don\'t know if I will ever be able to marry. I can\'t tell you the reason why but I am not ready to love someone like that. I\'m not ready to have a family again." I said seriously and I could see that my words had effect on them.
I couldn\'t have a family again. Not until I eradicate every single one of those demons. Not until I made sure they would never rob me of my treasures again.
Not until I made sure I could protect my love.
"..I see. I understand my boy." my uncle said with a firm smile while my aunt wiped a tear from the emotions she felt when I called her mom.
"And we\'re sorry to push the topic suddenly on you before asking your opinion on it. Its fine, we will cancel everything." my uncle said and my heart was finally at peace again.
After that, we continued eating our food. The atmosphere was a lot lighter than before as we all had smiles on our faces.
"Even though we decided to cancel the engagement, we still need to meet them to show respect. It would be an insult if we suddenly told them we cancelled it. Can you do that for me?" My uncle asked and I nodded.
"Good. Well, the girl\'s name is Mitsuri Kanroji-"
*Slam!!*
I slammed my hands on the table, making all of the dishes jump from the force before they scattered and fell. I stood up in an instant.
"Did you just say, Mitsuri?"
"Y-Yes, her name\'s Mitsuri Kanroji." my uncle replied
"Dear respected father, please next time, start with that. You nearly made me commit the biggest fumble in history." I said and wiped my lips.
Then I turned around and headed towards the door.
"Where are you going Seiji?"
"Where else? To my wife\'s house." I said and raised my arm like I was the luckiest man in the world.
"I\'m getting married."
"What! But you said-"
"Sorry, I don\'t hear what I said because I\'m deaf."
My aunt ran up to me and grabbed my hand. "Let\'s not get too hasty Seiji! You still need to wait a year to even legally marry."
"Then we just have to do it illegally because I\'m ready." I said, my voice had never been firmer.
After the name of the girl dropped, the situation had taken a complete turn.
