Becoming a magician in another world

The gym summoned by his parents? Robert went to his father's study with great interest after making progress in marrying his beloved.

However, the expressions that greeted my parents were not bright.

I am not suitable for the celebration of the marriage with Alicia, and I tilt my head in disbelief. You are here, Jim. I think you already know about the marriage with Mr. Alicia of the Earl of Walker. I want to tell you. "

"Ok!"

The long-awaited moment arrived, and Jim couldn't stop his heartbeat.

He felt like his parents were looking at him with sadness, but the less they cared, the more excited he became.

"——Unfortunately, this marriage is a blank slate."

"—What? Huh? Now, what did you say?"

"I said that the marriage with Lady Alicia is a done deal."

"Um"

Jim couldn't take his parents' words directly.

No, it's the previous problem.

My brain didn't want to comprehend what they were saying.

"What, what's going on?"

"Lady Alicia, the court magician Samuel? I am engaged to Mr. Chat." "——Huh?"

Once again, I couldn't understand what my parents were saying. I didn't know what they were saying.

Alicia Walker.

Jim's childhood sweetheart, the one he misses.

I've liked her since I was a kid. She's low-key, just the ideal daughter. She's completely different from the bragging girls in the magic school.

She is an ideal woman and marriage partner for Jim.

In that case, Antsia was not engaged to herself, but to another man, although it was not very acceptable.

"Ah, impossible, what should I do, that kind of thing... shouldn't Alicia like me!?"

"You think so, don't you? We always say that."

"Um"

"Yes, yes. Yes, that's right!"

“So, I thought it was good fate, so I was having the conversation.

"Then why!?"

Incomprehensible.

Thinking can't keep up.

Could it be that she had never thought that Alicia would be with a man who was unexpected to her?

She and I have built a warm family together. ——I believed it so clearly.

"We have never believed you until now. How can you think that Lady Alicia likes me?"

“Because! Because Alicia always listens to me! Every month when we meet, she listens to me and smiles!”

"...I want to ask, do you always talk during blind dates?"

"Yeah, yeah, that's right. Alicia has a low-key personality and won't make claims recklessly even in front of me. She's different from the rude woman in the magic school!"

“——Ahhh.”

The mother sighed deeply.

My father also looked bitter.

——Why?

"What does Lady Alicia like?"

“——Huh?”

"Even if we're childhood sweethearts, you know what Miss Alicia likes, right? Please tell me." "That's... eh?"

I couldn't answer my mother's question.

Alicia always listened to herself speaking with a low-key smile.

Jim desperately wanted to share all the joys and dislikes he had at school.

—but thinking back, Alicia had never heard anything from her.

"I, I am"

"I thought it was too much to tell you, but you should know for the future."

"what? What?"

"Miss Alicia doesn't seem to be good with you."

"...Yeah, that kind of thing."

"You only care about yourself and don't want to listen to Miss Alicia. Miss Alicia feels lonely about that matter. - I heard that she is in pain."

"Ah, ah, how is it possible?"

I would cover my ears if I could.

But, I didn’t have that kind of energy, so I just sat there.

"Don't get me wrong, Lady Alicia doesn't hate you. But I heard that you can't get close to people you're not good with from now on."

"............"I am also reflecting on this. Since I have a good relationship with Mr. Grace, it would be nice if I could have a casual chat with you and Mr. Alicia if I marry you. ......The Earl Walker family is also actively engaged in the conversation, so I am looking forward to it.

Maybe there are also expectations as a noble, but at least my mother will let her friend's daughter marry her child. ——I am very happy that I can fulfill the promise I made when I was so young.

Therefore, she believed her son's words and mistakenly thought that Alicia was also happy.

"I'm afraid you didn't put in any effort in front of your first love. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but it's precisely because of the humble personality of Miss Alicia that they are incompatible."

"Mom, what should I do? How can I be with Alicia?" For her son who still wanted to be with Alicia, the mother also made it clear.

Said with certainty.

"Mr. Alicia and I are not destined to be together."

"...like that"

"Jim may not be able to accept it, but it's okay to force yourself to marry a woman who doesn't want to. There are also cases where it will become an opportunity for family discord. You are still young, and you will have a good fate in the future."

"Um"

For some reason, the parents seemed to be on Alicia's side, although Jim couldn't really accept it.

Even if she refused, at least she had to make it clear from Alicia’s mouth.

At least Jim had conveyed what he wanted to tell Alicia so far.

In that case, she would have to do the same as herself to show her sincerity.

Jim can't give up on Alicia until she says she wants to choose another man instead of him.

"--yes"

"Jim?"

"——Damn it! I won't give up Alicia!"

“Wait! Gym! Speak properly!”

Ignoring his parents' words, Jim ran out of his father's study.

Unable to suppress my violent temper, I just ran towards the dark clouds.

Jim ran out of the mansion and walked around the castle town for a while, regaining his composure as time passed.

"——Alicia, don't you like me? I've been thinking about you for years. ...If I'm not good at just talking to myself, wouldn't it be great to say this? If you don't tell me, then I won't know!"

Snap, snap, snap, the sky was raining tears like Jim's feelings.

The rain gradually got heavier, and in the blink of an eye the boy was soaked.

The clothes were uncomfortable clinging to my skin, but thanks to the moisture, my head was cool.

Jim pointed his foot toward his mansion.

"Once, at least once, see Alicia. Well, I heard it from her."

Jim muttered to himself as he continued walking feebly in the castle town.
