Chapter 199: Günther's Fiancée 2
Translated by AmaLynne
“Günther… Come on, man. Don’t call your fiancée a formidable enemy. I feel ridiculous for being so cautious!”
Sam started to feel embarrassed about how seriously he had taken the appearance of a formidable enemy.
He was surprised to learn that Günther had a fiancée, and he was even more surprised to see that she was a young girl.
But what surprised Sam the most was the fact that Günther, who was older and more experienced, had run away from the situation.
“Wrong! This young lady is not my fiancée! We are only meeting today, and it’s not an engagement or anything like that!”
“Duke Ignatz said if Günther were to escape from this arranged meeting, he would be forced to become engaged to me without any choice.”
“Father, you old rascal!”
“As expected, Uncle knows best. He seems to have foreseen everything. Besides, it wouldn’t be good to skip out on this arranged meeting.”
Sam and Lise were both bewildered by the situation.
Even though Günther was the heir to the ducal family, skipping out on an arranged meeting would still be a problem.
The fact that things hadn’t escalated further was probably because it was Günther, and Duke Ignatz likely anticipated his son’s actions.
“But, Lise!”
“No ‘buts.’ Since she came all this way to find you, treat her properly.”
Despite being older than Günther, Lise’s words sounded more like a caring older sister.
They had known each other for many years, so the relationship between the Walker sisters and Günther was like that.
“Enough of this, Lise! Come on, Sam! Get rid of the demon trying to obstruct our love!”
“…You, man.”
Sam sighed as Günther pushed the responsibility onto others. He couldn’t understand why Günther was so wary of Claire.
“The most powerful barrier wizard in the country is running away from a little girl. She looks harmless to me.”
“Sam doesn’t know the terrifying power of this little girl; that’s why he can say such things!”
“Sigh.”
Sam couldn’t comprehend why a small and adorable girl like Claire would be considered terrifying.
“Can you stop sighing? This little girl actually possesses a troublesome power!”
“What troublesome power?”
Sam looked at Lise, but she also seemed clueless about the situation.
Instead, it was Claire who spoke up.
“Presumably, she is referring to my ability.”
“Your ability?”
“Would it be okay if I asked what kind of ability Claire has?”
“Yes, there’s no need to hide it. My ability is ‘Transparency.’ I can pass through anything.”
Sam and Lise were taken aback by Claire’s words.
If she could truly pass through anything, what would happen to Günther’s powerful barrier, created by the country’s best barrier wizard?
Sam asked in a trembling voice, “Could it be that you can also pass through Günther’s barrier?”
“Yes, I confirmed it when we met at the mansion earlier. I was able to pass through it without any problems.”
It was a shocking revelation.
Even Sam, with his formidable magical power and strong attack capabilities, had struggled to break through Günther’s barrier.
But Claire didn’t need to break through it; she could simply pass through it at will.
“Unbelievable… To think that you have such a skill. Günther, you’re lucky that she’s your fiancée.”
“What do you mean, ‘lucky’?”
“Could it be that you ran away because you realized your barrier wouldn’t work?”
“…”
“Hey!”
“Günther, you… I mean, even if this cute girl passed through your barrier, there’s no reason to believe she would harm you.”
Sam was bewildered once again.
While Lise tried to reassure Günther that Claire wouldn’t harm him, Günther still didn’t seem convinced.
“Don’t get me wrong, Sam, Lise! I’m a wizard too, you know. I have my skills. I didn’t run away because I’m scared of a little girl… I didn’t!”
“Then why did you run away?”
“Because this little girl’s behavior is terrifying!”
“Huh?”
Sam couldn’t quite grasp Günther’s words.
There was nothing fearful about Claire Doik’s behavior.
In fact, despite her age, she seemed mature and even appeared to have affection for Günther.
Sam couldn’t fathom why Günther was running away like this.
“Günther-sama, please don’t trouble Sam-sama and Lise-sama too much. Let’s go back now.”
“No!”
“Please don’t inconvenience them too much. Let’s return and continue our enjoyable matchmaking.”
“No!”
“If I don’t bring Günther-sama back, Duke Ignatz will come with his troops.”
“That might be better!”
Günther was unusually insistent, repeating “No” like a child.
In the end, he erected a barrier, seemingly to keep others away.
This made it impossible for Sam and Lise to approach.
However, Claire smiled slightly as she faced Günther’s imposing barrier.
“Hehehe, even though you know it’s pointless, you’re quite adorable.”
“Eek.”
With a smile on her face, Claire pinched the edge of her dress with her fingertip and began to walk.
Then, smoothly, she passed through Günther’s strong barrier as if it weren’t there.
“Wow.”
” Oh my, it’s true. It’s astonishing to see it with my own eyes.”
Sam was impressed by Claire, who effortlessly passed through Günther’s barrier, which had easily withstood powerful attack magic.
“Eek! Help me!”
“It won’t work. Günther-sama needs to return to the mansion now and start planning for a bright future with me. Please understand.”
“No, I don’t want to! Sam, Lise, help me!”
Although Günther pleaded for help with a face that looked like he might burst into tears at any moment, Sam and Lise merely smiled and had no intention of reaching out to assist him.
Upon reflection, Sam realized that Duke Ignatz had indeed thought this through.
By marrying Claire, who could potentially be Günther’s vulnerability as a barrier wizard, the threat to Günther would be eliminated.
“Now, let’s go, Günter-sama–”
As Claire grabbed Günter’s arm, her body staggered.
“Hey!”
“Are you okay?”
Sam and Lise couldn’t help but voice their concern, but Claire, wearing a smile as if nothing happened, reassured them.
“Don’t worry, there’s no problem. It’s because I used my skill a bit. I haven’t fully mastered it yet. I’m sorry, but would it be alright to take some medicine here?”
“Uh, yes, of course.”
“Thank you. Well then, I’ll take my leave.”
Saying so, Claire took something from her seemingly transparent purse.
It appeared to be men’s underwear, probably due to its minimal amount of fabric.
While it was uncertain if it was truly underwear, it was most likely correct.
Claire picked up the somewhat suggestive underwear and said,
“I might have seen something like this somewhere before.”
“–Then.”
With a mesmerized expression, she pressed it against her face.
“–Snnniiifffff, aaahhh, aahhh, it’s heavenly, heavenlyyyyyyyyy! Günther-sama’s rich scent! I’m intoxicateeeeeeeeedddddddddd!”
It was a strangely familiar scene.
Sam and Lise were left speechless.
Günter, on the other hand, turned pale.
“L-Look, Sam! Lise! This girl is a pervert who sniffs people’s underwear!”
“Yeah, I guess so.”
“Snnniiifffff, aaahhh, aahhh!”
“Stooooop itttttttt! You perverttttttttttt!”
Sam couldn’t help but say,
“Uh, how should I put it–you have no right to say it!”
