"The problem is not that simple. I have refused the engagement that my father has arranged to me by beating my fiancé in a game of chess and claimed that I will not marry someone that is not smarter than me. Seeing this, my father make a contract for my claim and I agreed with it and as I have agreed with that contract myself, now I can't defy it. One more thing, I'm not a human."(Sona)
"Wait... how can a contract do that to you, is it some kind of magic contract or something? And what do you mean that you are not a human? And why didn't you tell me about this first, did you think you can defeat me that easily?"(Tatsuya) Fuck! What should I do? Should I tell her that I already know about those kind of existence or should I keep pretending to not know anything. There's only the three of us right now, If I ask her for Tsubaki to get out of the room, I think it should be okay to talk about this. Alright, since I have fallen this far, I will just go with my gut.
"I know this sound unbelievable but I' telling you the truth. I am a devil and not a human. For the contract, it is a magic contract that bind the soul of both contractors to follow the clause of the contract and if one side break the clause, they will get punished severely by the contract it self. For why I didn't tell you about this before, it's because I underestimated you and thought that there is no chance that I will lose to you... " (Sona)
"*sigh* First can you tell your vice president to get out first?"(Tatsuya)
"It's alright, you can trust her. She is also a devil, just like me and also my subordinate."(Sona)
"... We need to talk, just the two of us."(Tatsuya) I said seriously, putting off all of my facade till now. Sona got surprised by me being serious like this all of a sudden since I have never shown this side to anyone before. Well, isn't that obvious since the current me is a different person than the previous me.
"Alright. Tsubaki, please leave the two of us alone and kept guard the door outside please."(Sona)
"But president!"(Tsubaki)
"Tsubaki!"(Sona)
"...Yes president."(Tsubaki) She said while gritting her teeth. I think she doesn't regard me that high and got frustrated that Sona follows my word to get her out from here.
"So, what do you want to talk about with just the two of us, Hyoudou Tatsuya?"(Sona)
"*sigh* Sona, can I just call you that? You can call me Tatsuya as well."(Tatsuya)
"That's okay with me."(sona)
"Alright... first I have to tell you that I already knew about the existence of the three faction, so you being a devil is not that big surprise to me."(Tatsuya) I dropped a bomb to her.
"What?! how did you know about that? You are clearly a normal human. No, are a spy then? Are you perhaps follower of other faction or maybe pantheons?"(Sona) She ask worriedly with cautious.
"For your answer, I'm not part of any faction or pantheons so you can rest easily but I still have my own force that is currently unknown to anyone, even to other pantheons. before I talk about this, can you make a contract first to not speak about what I'm going to tell you and keep it a secret just to yourself? This is important since this is the requirement for you to gain my trust, after that we can talk about the marriage."(Tatsuya)
As I spoke to her, she shows a look of surprise to know that I have my own forces and look troubled when I asked for her to make the contract. I gave her some times to think first and after waiting for about 5 minutes, in the end she accept it. After that she made the contract out of magic in front of me. For the clause of the contract, she will keep everything I said only to herself and and in return I will tell only the truth to her. After we done with the clause, we signed the contract then the contract turned into a fire that got separated into two parts an each of it went inside me and Sona. That indicated the contract is complete.
I felt that this is a chance. A big chance for me to gain an ally that can help me grow faster and easier. On the other hand, marrying a girl like her is also not a problem for me. She is a beautiful girl with right curve here and there, and with that upright personality of hers, there's no problem for me to marry her.
"Now, is this enough? Can you tell me now?"(Sona)
"Alright, since we have already fallen into the hole, let's talk about the marriage first. We can talk about my background after this, and I will assure you that I'm neutral and currently doesn't belong to any other faction nor do I have plan to join others. "(Tatsuya)
"Alright, I trust you."(Sona)
So we begin to talk about the marriage thing and we decided to engage to each other first since we are still in high school. Sona also talk about her dream to build a school in the devil realms and I told her that I supported her dream, and that makes her felt much better since someone actually believe in her dream since there is no devil that supported her dream, rather they mocked her. But even if we have talk about the marriage, it only cover the basic, and the rest should be discussed with her parents first and after that to my parents.
"Now Tatsuya, can you tell me about your secret? (Sona)
"Alright but please don't freak out. I have a small army of an elves race at my command. They are currently specialized in hiding and archery but it can be improved later on. I can bring you to our base later but for now that is impossible because I'm afraid that there would be eyes around you. You should know that I'm still hiding the existence of my force and need to be extremely careful with my movement to not alert other forces. As we will be married to each other, I hope there will be no secrets between the two us starting at this moment." (Tatsuya)
She got surprised when I told her that I have an army of elves under my command but she then calmed herself and choose to trust me on this since I can only day the truth with the contract active. Well, I'm not lying either since even if I only have a few troops right now, it is still my small army and I'm sure that I can expand my army into a huge army later on. I just need time to grow. And of course I'm still keep about my transmigration a secret, I don't plan to tell anyone about this after all.
"Since the cat is out of the bag now, I know this is kind of shameless of me but can you help me with getting some resources to help my force grow? I'm having some trouble at getting resources right now. You know that my force can be considered as your power as well right? You can even use it as a hidden card of your since no one in this world know about their existence. If you curious about why do I'm so sure about this, it's because I brought them to this world from another world."(Tatsuya)
"Wait.. wait a second. please talk slowly one by one. I can't absorb all this information at once like that. And that other world thing you just said, does that mean you have the power to go to another world? Is it like the other world where the other pantheons live? And how can you have that kind of power, I certainly have checked you many times before and especially today, and the result told me that you are just a normal human. Maybe stronger than most human but still you are just a normal human."(Sona)
"Yes, I have the power to go to another world, and for your second question it's a no. The world I go to is located on a different universe. And for me being a human, well you are not wrong with that, but the power that I have is quite different than all the things you know about. It is a unique different kind of power that only I can use" (Tatsuya)
I tried to explained and answered all her question. For the different universe thing, it still my speculation but seeing that I can bring the night elves race to this world, there is a high chance that my guess were right. As we got engrossed to our conversation, we didn't even realize that the time was almost midnight. We only came to ourselves when Tsubaki knock the door and told us that it was almost the middle of the night. So we decided to end the talk there and go home first.
We said our goodbyes and went on our own ways. Sona told me that she will talk to her parents about the marriage and just told me to brace myself before she used a teleportation magic and disappeared from my sight. I was just transmigrated yesterday and today I already get a fiance, what a very eventful life I have here. There's nothing I can do about it, let's go home and sleep, I'm tired...
