A whole week passed.
Many rumors were going on, but Reigner ignored all of these. Those rumors were naturally related to the women he had chosen from the Lora Kingdom and the deal with the metal king that somehow allowed Reigner to survive!
Regardless of that, many people also began thinking differently from Paula. She was always known to be a failure, but now, she had another nickname - Daring Princess. How could someone make the man refuse all these women from the Lora Kingdom?
The royalties, the beauties, and so on.
Obviously, Reigner had turned a blind eye on these rumors, his mind filled with thoughts of coming back home to the earth! It is time to just come back, relax in the house without any life-threatening events going around him!
The first problem would be Paula's origins. At the current stage of the world hope, Reigner knew that Paula can not cross the worlds, so he had to make something. He beat out his brain, trying to utilize his item creation power.
While it is fine for Reigner to create low items out of anything, the higher quality ones needed external resources. He was within the Metal Perante Kingdom, so the metal resources with different attributes were here.
He tried to make a capsule that would somehow feign the energy of the world hope.
But this phenomenon was the natural one. It was something inexplicable without a human's hand even changing it a little. The earthling was cursing inwardly, but despite all his struggles, Paula supported him and reassured.
"If I will be the last obstacle for your journey back home, then just forget about me, Reigner."
"Don't talk about it like that."
"But you don't belong to this world and I can sometimes feel it is hard for you. Many things are missing, right? I don't want to become a woman who just burdens you."
"You aren't a burden, Paula. If the worst comes, then I will... begin playing with that world hope!"
Reigner spoke about impossible to which Paula was aware of. She could only slightly shake her head but feel inwardly pleased with how Reigner is keen on taking her with himself. After the talk with her father, Paula and Reigner had a small, real ceremony where the rings of marriage had been properly put on their fingers.
They were a married couple despite their young ages. Of course, Paula was already twenty-three years old so it was fine for her, but Reigner just hit nineteen years old! In a normal situation, Reigner would find it strange, but he couldn't care about his age became just a mere number due to the reincarnation memories.
Still...
"Marriage rings! We are bound by the oath and love, so let's use it! Let's emphasize that."
Reigner reached for his marriage ring, then stopped abruptly. The blueish light of his item creation system also froze mid-air.
"It is fine, right? I can alter the rings."
"Yes~~ You are also going to alter mine, right? How are you going to alter it?"
"Snake... Medusa... There has to be more to that surname, so I will make the snake that represents me and that dream of medusa set."
"Okay."
Only when the modification ends, the lady will be able to know the exact changes. Her sensitive finger caressed the modified Ring that became like the medusa coiling around Reigner's finger. It was milky pinkish, the same as his set.
As for Paula, she naturally extended her hand for modification next.
"Ah, don't go for surprise attacks!"
"Was it a surprise one?"
The kiss got planted on her soft hand before the modification began. Reigner's power went instinctively onto Paula's marriage ring meaning that the modification is going to be the natural one.
As the bluish light flashed, the ring of the fourth princess became slightly dark green. There was also a different kind of snake compared to Reigner. While his white snake is filled with beautiful, granular scales, Paula's ring had the snake with lines going across its body. It looked like the snake was about to be split up into a thousand slices!
However, Reigner and Paula truly emphasized that power and became closer. Though it was not felt by both of them, Reigner had information about the marriage ring in front of his eyes.
[Medusa Marriage Ring.]
"Reigner."
"Hmm?"
"How does Medusa Paula sounds?"
"It sounds right as how it should be."
"Hehe~~ I get it."
While Princess caressed her marriage ring feeling the unknown beating of her heart, Reigner peeked at the information. There wasn't any information related to the 'quality, strength, or class' as it is usually in the games.
Not like he would accept the low-quality message.
'So are the effects as I predicted? What?'
[The prerequisites had been cleared.]
[Medusa has accepted the new, foreign race into her royal lineage.]
[Medusa Paula became the second human to receive the blessing of Medusa.]
[Medusa Paula is more liable to the blessing.]
"How do you feel Paula?"
"Great!"
"Is there any change in your body?"
"Hmm, I don't feel different other than feeling the contentment of your actions. If this doesn't go well, then we can try the second method!"
"Second method? You knew about the second method?!"
It could be seen from Reigner's actions that he is not going to give up on Paula, but the lady had mentioned being a burden partially because she truly didn't want to become one. However, there was also a side of hers that just wanted to listen to Reigner's indomitable voice that wants her no matter what.
In the end, Paula got what she wanted and there was even more.
Still, there was a huge blush that ignited her cheeks now.
"It's a pregnancy method..."
"..."
"It's okay. Let's believe in the marriage rings, hehe~~"
"Yeah..."
"The worst thing was that I couldn't do anything to help you, my love. That's why, after your hard work, I will be the one to take care of you!"
Paula copped Reigner's hand, then the married couple left the royal grounds unbeknownst to others. It was just a matter of time before Reigner leaves this world, so just before that, Reinger finally experienced another world's date.
Boom.
The wild boar just died.
"This is a date?"
Even killing was on the date!
"Yes! This boar is our dinner today! Now, for the sauce...."
Paula's metal sphere couldn't be called a metal sphere at all. She felt like more things began slipping into her radar, the more she used it. Her creation was still metal though. The metal snake killed the boar, then with its help, Paula began to gather the resources in the wilderness for Reigner.
"After dinner, we will go back to the royal palace. I will ask one of our best painters to draw us!"
"Couldn't we begin the date with exactly this?"
"No... I can't draw, but I want to have the keepsake of our time here."
"I mean, I know you can't draw. And being the one to take care of me doesn't mean you have to refuse the help of others. For our date in my world, I will pay for everything and just enjoy the time. No need to hunt, we could've bought."
"Stop talking! I said I will take care of you! Ah, after dinner, we should take a bath too. For our drawing, we need to be in our prime looks!"
Paula is obviously going to clean her man right.
"Then I just have to watch? I don't like such a date."
"N-no, but... T-then find the source of the water!"
"First time date, I see, haha~~ If you tell someone from my world that you took me to a boar hunt for the first date, then their eyes might pop out... I know, tell it to my mom. Haha!"
"I won't tell anyone..."
