"It is a pleasure to meet you, father, mother."(Tatsuya)
"So you are the boy who defeated my daughter, you look qualified enough to be her husband. Do you know that Sona is known as the intellect genius of her era. Some even called her as the master tactician, So I was very surprised when I heard that my daughter lose against a human. But don't think you can get my daughter that easily, boy!"(Lord Sitri) He spoke with a deep voice full of dignity.
"Stop your intimidating act now, father. you are embarrassing me. Tatsuya, this old man here is Zangras Sitri, my father, while this is Eirsha Sitri, my mother."(Sona)
"But Sona, I want to try it at least once in my life. Now boy, if you want to take my daughter arms, then you have to defeat me first!"(Zangras)
"Dear... please stop playing hard to get and do this seriously, do you understood?"(Eirsha)
"Yes mam."(Zangras)
What the hell with this skit comedy family... I thought that since Sona came from a noble family, her parents would be quite arrogant and prideful. I even already thought about some scenarios where they won't accept me that easily because of my commoner background and of course me being a reincarnated devil, not a pure blood one.
"Hyoudou Tatsuya right? It is nice to meet you, I hope you can take a good care of my daughter."(Eirsha)
"Yes mother! I will do my very best for her."(Tatsuya)
Isn't this to easy? Is this some kind of test or something?
"Stop thinking to hard, Tatsuya. I know what you are thinking about, and this is not some kind of test from parents. They really want you to marry me."(Sona)
"What? I mean wouldn't they mind about me being a former human and my commoner background?"(Tatsuya)
"Fu fu fu... Son in law, we are not that kind of person okay. We don't mind about your background at all. For us, as long as Sona accepted you to be her husband, then we won't mind about it at all, right Sona"(Eirsha)
Huh? What does she mean with that? Then does that mean Sona had already accepted me a her partner from the start? Since I was confused, I looked at Sona to seek some answer from her, but instead I can only see a very blushed Sona.
"What do you mean by that?"(Tatsuya)
"Mother stop!"(Sona)
Sona stood up and shouted, trying to stop her mother, but I caught her first before she can stood up and pull her back to sit beside me. Then I put my arms around her and pull her closer to me, while in the same time keeping her from moving. Eirsha seems very happy while watching out 'couple' act.
"Well, if Sona really don't want to get married, then she would beg her father to nullify that contract, even if she has to pay something in return, but looking at her accepting this marriage that easily, that means she somewhat had already accepted you to be her husband, do you get it now?"(Eirsha)
"Thank you for answering me, mother."(Tatsuya) I said gratefully while I whispered to Sona.
"We need to talk later, meet me in my room again tonight."(Tatsuya)
She didn't answer me back at first and stay quiet. I then nudge her a little to seek her answer, and she replied with a very small voice.
"Okay."(Sona)
Fortunately since I became a devil, my sense got upgraded so I even if she spoke with that tiny little voice, I still can hear her.
"You can assort your feelings together later, for now we will discuss about the date of the marriage and some other things to."(Zangras)
"You're done with the act already?"(Eirsha)
"I will try it again when Serafall brought back her guy. Tatsuya, do you have any plans regarding your marriage? You can plan you own wedding together with Sona yourself if you want. Of course if you don't have any plans yet, you can leave the planning to us, so what do you say?"(Zangras)
"I thank you for the offer father, but I think it would be better for me and Sona to plan the wedding ourselves and I think Sona would prefer to do it like that to."(Tatsuya)
"I agree with Tatsuya, pleaase leave all the planning to us father."(Sona)
"Okay then, I will trust you on this. With that's done, I will spread your engagement news tomorrow. At last I can be free from those old devils trying to offer their sons or grandsons to marry my daughter."(Zangras)
Oh no, if the news about my engagement with Sona got spread in the underworld, there will be a lot of complains from the nobles. Especially from those guys that have been eyeing Sona and wants to marry her. At worst, they will even challenge us on rating games to cancel our engagement.
"About that father, can you keep it a secret for a while first?"(Tatsuya)
"Hmm? Why do you want to keep it a secret? Do you plan to cancel it later on? Answer me, young man!"(Zangras) Zangras yelled at me, agitated by my request.
"Stop it father! Tatsuya must have his reason to ask for that, just hear him out first. Well, I can guess his reason, but let hear it from him himself."(Sona)
"As you say before, there are many old devils that still trying to offer their sons or grandsons to marry Sona. If you spread the news now, and they found out that I was actually a reincarnated devil with a commoner background, they won't take that news well. They even might challenge Sona to cancel the engagement itself by using rating games. So it would be better to keep silent about this engagement for the time being so we can use that time to get stronger, so that when the news comes out and there are others that want to harm us, we would already have the power to protect ourselves."(Tatsuya)
"I also thought about this, father. If Tatsuya didn't bring this up first, I would have done it myself."(Sona)
"I see... I will keep it a secret as long as I can then, but beware, those old devils have a lot of ways to get the information they want."(Zangras)
"We will try to protect you from being spied by them at least, but you guys also need to be careful as well. At least, don't try to do some couple things on public, if you want to do something intimate, then do it in your bedroom or something."(Eirsha)
'And don't forget to use condom okay! Even if we devil can't get pregnant easily, at least keep it safe until you graduate. Son in law, I entrust you with my daughter.'(Eirsha) She said directly to my mind.
When I heard her voice directly inside my head, I got startled, but when I heard the content of what she want to say to me, it makes me flustered. Even my own parents never told me something like that, I mean this is something private for me. At least I can answer her back by nodding my head to her.
I looked toward Sona and her face is fully red with shame. It seems she also got the same message as me. I hope she didn't see me got flustered just now. Well mother, I promise to take care of your daughter very well, and add the Sitri household to in the bag for the future. I won't stay as her husband only, I will be head of the household, but to do that I need to get stronger first.
At last I can finish my mission the next time I got to my base. I only need to train one more archer and the mission done. I can't wait to go to another world as well, but first I will need to level up the system first. I think it won't take to long to upgrade the system since it's only 3% short of exp after I hunted all those animals before.
After that we spent our time talking about a lot of stuff about the underworld and the other factions to increase my and Sona knowledge. Sona parents went back to the underworld when the sun about to set. Just when I was about to step out from the student council room, Sona stopped me by holding my shirt.
"Let's go together, wait for me. I only need a couple of minutes to say something for the girls."(Sona)
"Alright, I will wait outside then."(Tatsuya)
After she finished her business, the other peerage members went back to their own home, while I and Sona went back to my house together.
________________________________________________________________________________
AN: Hey guys the poll for the next world difficulties has ended. I have decided that the next world would be Akame ga Kill world. There will be only one country exist which is the empire where the story start. The reason why I chose this world is because it is not an easy world to conquer but in the same time also not that hard either. It would suit the normal difficulties standard that I put up. There will be some small skirmishes and one or two big battles approaching the end.
Tatsuya current army consist of only 3 archers and 25 treants as it was only 5 days since Tatsuya got transmigrated in his world. He only had 2 commander tier subordinate which is Malfurion and Maiev. Even if the night elves has superior body than the normal humans, they still can get hurt by the humans weapons. Well Tatsuya can use the treants to handle the humans, but those treants is not as strong as those teigu user from the akame ga kill world so using the treants carelessly will only make the empire aware of Tatsuya force existence. As for the heroes, their strength is on par with the teigu user as the heroes also have some abilities to. Maybe there will be some difference in their strength some may be stronger, some may be weaker than the heroes, or even have the same strength.
There are also those danger beast as well in the wilderness, that means Tatsuya also need to get rid of those danger beast first to establish his foothold, and even clear them all the danger beast around his foothold to keep it safe. So expect a lot of battle scene in this arc.
By the way some of you may not agree with me about the mc joining sona peerage. Well the mc already explained his reason on chapter 16 that he knew the consequences of joining Sona peerage. But at this point, he doesn't have any other choice to get an easy power up on himself. The empire building system that he have will only help him in gaining armies, buildings, and other things to build his own empire. He may get something like 'class' from the system later on that he can use, but to grow stronger, he needs to do it by his own effort. He may get skills from the system, but those skills could only be learned by the heroes or the troops. The MC actually can learn it as well, but he need to do it manually from the teaching of those who have the skill.
The important thing here is the system name itself is about building an empire, not about leveling up or something like that. The MC has already planned to take over the Sitri household by becoming stronger than his parents in law and other devils as well. Maybe even stronger than the four satans, but that is a story for the future. Another thing here is he need a good backup or background so that if somehow he got discovered by other forces, he can ask help from the Sitri household, even though he would expose his ability, at least they are on the same side.
Well that's all for now, thank you for reading my novels guys. Please keep support me by telling me if there is any mistake on tenses, spelling, and grammars.
