Chereads / Chairman of The Magic Council / Chapter 158 - I am your brother-in-law

Chapter 158 - I am your brother-in-law

Bourne and Mirajane walked outside since it somehow felt awkward to talk in the living room.

Bourne looked at Mirajane who seemed quite nervous and felt quite funny.

"What are you nervous for?"

"I am not nervous! You're the one who is nervous, right? I have heard that you have kissed Lisa on the Edolas." Mirajane snorted and asked, "How was it? Were her lips good?"

"....."

Bourne was speechless and asked, "Who has told you that?"

"You don't deny it so it was true that you have kissed Lisa, right?" Mirajane stared at Bourne.

"...."

Bourne was speechless and said, "I didn't kiss her, but it was the other way around."

Mirajane was startled and asked, "So you were kissed?"

Bourne nodded and said, "Yes."

"......"

Mirajane looked at Bourne and asked, "So what do you think?"

"What do you mean?" Bourne asked.

"I mean... you won't be able to see her again, so is that alright?" Mirajane asked.

"Isn't that why I am asking if there is something that is related to Lisa at your house?" Bourne looked at Mirajane and said, "If there is, then it might be possible to go to Edolas with Lisa's related things such as hair, or goods, making it into a direction so we can go to Edolas."

"Do you want to go to Edolas that much?" Mirajane suddenly asked.

"My Erza is from Edolas after all, she might be homesick so I need to search for a way to go to Edolas," Bourne said. He suddenly realized that he didn't need to get something that was related to Lisa's since Erza Knightwalker was right beside him, but he forgot about that matter and decided to keep quiet about it since it was too embarrassing somehow.

Mirajane snorted and said, "You have Erza Knightwalker so you don't need Lisa's goods, right?" She looked at Bourne and asked, "Just tell me that you like Lisa, right?"

"......."

Bourne was speechless and asked, "Why do you think that I like Lisa?"

"I mean... don't you want to go to Edolas so you can marry Lisa? I know that you like Lisa, right?" Mirajane kept staring at him, and somehow she felt hurt, but Lisa was her sister after all and she wanted Lisa to be happy so while she wanted to make sure whether Bourne's feeling for Lisa was real or not since she knew that this guy had six women beside him.

However....

Mirajane was startled when her lips were kissed. She opened her eyes wide when her lips were stolen so suddenly. She was in a daze that she didn't react for a while, but when she felt his tongue on her mouth, she quickly woke up and pushed him away.

"Wh - What are you doing?!"

Mirajane was covered in blush and her eyes kept staring at him. She tried to get away from him, but the hand on her waist didn't let her go and her power was so weak at that moment. However, she glared at him since he suddenly kissed her.

"I might like Lisa, but I love you Mirajane," Bourne said.

"......."

Mirajane was startled, but somehow, she felt very happy.

Bourne let go of his hand that wrapped around Mirajane's waist since he could see that she wouldn't run away.

"I am sorry for kissing you so suddenly, but I want to tell you that the one that I love isn't Lisa, but you."

"But you have a lot of women," Mirajane said, but she didn't dare to look at him and her face was very red. She felt happy when she heard his words, but she was wondering what his other women thought of her.

"Do you hate it?" Bourne stepped back one step and said, "I know that I have done something wrong to you, especially for kissing you so suddenly, but I want to hear your answer."

"Answer?"

Mirajane looked at Bourne doubtfully.

"You might have heard it, but I am going to get married soon," Bourne said.

"........"

Mirajane opened her mouth, but closed it again since she wasn't sure what to say for a moment. However, she asked, "Why?"

"Well, my women are pregnant after all so I have to take responsibility, right? It is pretty irresponsible for me not to marry them earlier, but I am ready now," Bourne said.

Mirajane bit her lower lip and asked, "So what do you want me to do? You have just confessed to me, then you told me that you are going to get married?! What do you want me to do?!"

"I want to marry you too," Bourne said.

".............."

Mirajane was too shocked to say anything.

"We have known each other for a long time. Our relationship, might not be a lover, but I believe that we can work on it somehow." Bourne wasn't really sure whether it would work or not, but he believed he would regret himself if he didn't say it now. He had made a decision not to make any regrets in his life so he was going to confess directly.

Mirajane blushed and felt shy, but then she asked, "Why not date first?"

"Do you hate marrying me?" Bourne asked.

"No.. No..." Mirajane didn't dare to look at him and said, "I.. I am happy but..."

"But?"

"But don't you think that it is a bit too early?" Mirajane asked.

"It is not." Bourne shook his head and said, "If we end up dating then we're going to have sex, then you'll have my brat in your womb."

"How... How can you say such a thing?!"

Mirajane felt her face burning when she heard such a direct word from him.

"If I don't marry you, then I feel that I am very irresponsible since I have made you pregnant," Bourne said.

"How can you be so sure that I can become pregnant so easily?" Mirajane asked.

"My sperm is very potent and I can control it after all," Bourne said.

".........."

Mirajane wasn't sure what to say for a moment.

"Mirajane, let me ask you once again." Bourne gently held Mirajane's hands and said, "It might be sudden or abrupt, but I know very well my feeling that I want to be with you. Marry me."

"..........."

Mirajane couldn't control her emotions and somehow she started to cry.

"You're a bastard."

"I know."

"You are very greedy."

"I know, but I want you. Be mine."

Bourne hugged Mirajane so naturally.

Mirajane also hugged him at this moment and tiptoed to kiss his lips. She felt very happy and when she parted her lips, she looked at him with a smile and said, "Take of me from now on, dear."

Bourne smiled and kissed her lips again. He carried her in his arms and there was probably still time before both Lisanna and Elfman returned.

---

When Lisanna and Elfman returned, it was the next day, after all, Bourne's house was located near Hargeon town and the house of Strauss's siblings was located on Magnolia town. They needed to use a train to transport from town to town.

Unlike Mirajane who used Satan's Soul to fly to Bourne's house in the past, both Lisanna and Elfman used animal's soul and beast's soul respectively, and Elfman didn't have a beast soul that made him able to fly.

Lisanna deliberately also slowed down their trip since she was kind of hoping something would happen between Bourne and Mirajane.

'I wonder what is going to happen to both of them...'

Lisanna and Elfman walked to Bourne's house, and were surprised when they saw Mirajane needed help from Bourne to stand up, and somehow they could tell that their older sister had become prettier somehow.

"Lisanna, Elfman, I have something to say to the two of you," Mirajane said with a sweet smile while holding Bourne's hand.

"........"

Lisanna and Elfman didn't say anything and looked at Mirajane and Bourne in confusion.

"We're going to get married,"Mirajane said with a smile.

"..........."

Lisanna and Elfman opened their mouths wide then looked at Bourne.

Bourne felt quite awkward, but still said, "I am going to be your brother-in-law from now on."

"............"
