After hearing the other party's words, Shiro seemed as if he had realized something and spoke in a probing tone.
"Don't tell me someone is coming to cause trouble, so you're warning me in advance to prepare."
Zastin was also stunned when he heard that.
"Son-in-law, you already know about this?"
Shiro's lips twitched slightly after that, then he pulled Lala into his arms and spoke with a smile in his voice:
"I never believed that there are few people who want to marry a rich woman and succeed overnight."
"Not to mention that 90% of people in the universe want to rely on a beautiful rich woman, so it doesn't surprise me at all that something like this will happen."
"However, if those guys want to cause trouble, they should be prepared to lose their lives here. I'm not the type who will just drive them away."
"Regardless of their identity, regardless of who they are, if I don't like them, they can leave their lives here. As for the others, if they are just clowns, I can simply throw them out."
At that moment, Shiro stated his position. If he remembered correctly, among them there were a few fools, but there were also those who truly deserved death. It was just that they encountered a protagonist who was too gentle and useless, because he had no power.
Zastin did not oppose, but nodded.
"Everything depends on your will, son-in-law. The weaker one who challenges the stronger must be ready to pay the price."
Zastin, knowing Shiro's strength, also agreed. After all, the other side was not a weak man, but someone stronger even than their king. If you challenge such a person and try to take his fiancée, it is natural to pay with your life if you fail.
"Son-in-law, I have one piece of news: someone has hired the top assassin in the universe, named Golden Darkness, to come."
"There may be others as well, but I have not received any information about them."
Shiro's eyebrow slightly raised when he heard that.
"As for Golden Darkness, her strength shouldn't be stronger than Ghost Blade, right? Although the matter of me killing Ghost Blade has been erased, Golden Darkness herself is nothing to worry about."
"Hm, I also know she does not pose a threat to the son-in-law. Still, I want to remind you to be careful with her, so that she does not use someone close to you as a threat."
Shiro waved his hand after that.
"For others I might worry, but for this Golden Darkness I truly have no worries."
Shiro spoke with a confident expression, which made Zastin somewhat confused.
"Son-in-law, do you know that Golden Darkness? She is a genius assassin, rapidly climbing the rankings."
"Is there something special about her that caught your attention?"
Zastin was somewhat surprised. Anyone who could attract Shiro's attention was probably not an ordinary person.
Shiro's face showed slight embarrassment after those words; obviously Zastin misunderstood.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem, you misunderstood. I only know her by sight."
"She has some unusual traits that are quite interesting; the rest is average."
In Shiro's thoughts at that moment was: 'Little Darkness, be good and quickly fall into my hands.'
At that moment, in one corner of the universe, a beautiful golden-haired girl looked at the mission list she had just received, studying the information about the target. Then she sneezed.
But she paid no attention to it. Instead, she looked at the name Shiro on the list, followed by a description that completely slandered him, saying that he indiscriminately killed innocent people everywhere, that he specialized in eating babies and the like. In short, it described him as a demon.
"Shiro, a villain like you should die by my hand."
After saying that, her golden hair turned into a blade, which she swung several times in front of her.
...
"Lala, it's morning, time to wake up."
When Shiro woke up the next day, he saw the pink-haired princess sleeping in his bed, or rather, using him as a body pillow. And in that state she was practically provoking him to commit a crime!
Of course, he knew about it; he was aware when she sneaked in last night. He just didn't expect that she would use him as a pillow in this way. But Shiro didn't mind, nor did he do anything further.
Lala opened her eyes after hearing that, rubbing them, still sleepy.
"Shiro, good morning."
"Lala, by the way, why did you sneak into my room last night?"
Lala answered in a completely natural tone.
"Aren't we fiancés? Then it's completely normal for us to sleep together, right?"
Shiro was stunned, then asked curiously:
"Who taught you that?"
Shiro knew very well that she certainly did not figure that out herself; someone told her that. And if she truly understood everything, they would not sleep like this. That was why he was curious which rascal had filled her head with wrong knowledge again.
At that moment Shiro was furious, gritting his teeth.
"Risa told me."
"The last time we talked, she asked me if we, as fiancés, had done something. I was curious and asked what 'doing something' means. Then she asked me whether we had slept together or something like that."
"Later she told me that as fiancés it is reasonable and normal for us to sleep together."
Shiro felt his blood rise to his throat when he heard that.
Damn it! It really was that troublemaker.
"Ahem, ahem, Lala, there are some things you must understand. That is not done before crossing a certain boundary. And I will tell you about that boundary when the time comes."
"So don't sneak into my room like this anymore."
Lala, after that, with surprise, or perhaps slight disappointment, said:
"…Shiro, don't you like me?"
Shiro felt a slight headache when he heard that. If she understood those things, it would be easy to explain, but the problem was that she didn't understand them, and that made everything harder.
"This is not about whether I like you or not. It's just not the right time yet. I will tell you when the moment comes, okay? After all, can't you feel whether I like you or not?"
"Alright, I'll pay attention next time."
When Shiro heard "I'll pay attention next time" instead of "I won't do it again," he knew that problems were coming. Honestly, he was afraid that one day he would not be able to restrain himself and would completely take her. And in her current state, that would be like taking advantage of someone who understands nothing, which would be a real crime.
No! Shiro knew very well that this could not continue like this. He had to find a way to help her understand more things!
...
"Quite lively."
Shiro arrived at the competition venue. Of course, he could not enter the arena itself; he could only watch from the surroundings, that is, follow the matches through projection.
Still, he chose a convenient place. From there he could see whether he would have the luck to meet her.
Just as he arrived, she was just going inside to prepare.
Sora Ginko originally thought she had been fooled. She tightened her grip on the fan that Shiro had given her, feeling dissatisfied. She did not expect that he would leave her hanging again.
Seeing that time was almost up, she had no choice but to go in first, inwardly angry. That rascal had lied to her again.
But Sora Ginko suddenly felt something. She turned her head and saw someone looking at her with a smile, and from the movement of his lips she read "Good luck."
Honestly, she was very nervous, but at least after seeing that familiar face, she relaxed. Then she pretended not to see him and, with a cold expression, turned around and left.
