It Seems Like the Balcony of My Room Is Connected to a Princess’s Bedroom in Another World ~The Lewd and Yandere Princess Won’t Let Me Go~ - Chapter 29-30

Chapter 29: Mission 9 – Respect My Will

“Shun!”

“What?”

“I’m so happy…♡”

Anela-san’s eyes widened for a moment, then she hugged me even tighter.

I could feel Anela-san’s body warmth directly.

I could sense her heartbeat and breathing through her skin.

“You!! You seduced Anela!!”

“Father! Who do you think this man is!?”

Seeing us, the king shouted, but Anela-san silenced him with an even louder voice.

The king’s eyes widened at his daughter’s unusual behavior.

“This man created the Koseki system that supports our country!”

Hey!!

I didn’t do anything!!

And stop saying it like I created the household registry system!!

“What did you say…?”

“The Koseki system that made our country rich, smoothed trade with other nations, served as identification, and reduced crime was actually Shun’s idea!”

Stop!!

Most of it isn’t even the household registry system I know, so stop!!

Being praised for something I didn’t do is so embarrassing.

I’m jealous of the bard’s mental strength.

“A-Anela… is that true?”

“It’s true!”

“Why didn’t you say so earlier? I was rude to the hero who saved our country!”

Huh?

The king’s attitude completely changed?

“I planned to tell Father about Shun when I introduced him… I never thought you’d meet him like this.”

Yeah, it’s all your fault.

If you hadn’t spent money on ‘Grand of Gun’, this wouldn’t have happened.

“My apologies, Lord Shun. We’ll put away our spears, so could you put away that black sword… or gun?”

Black sword? Gun?

Oh, the banana!

I forgot about it.

I was still holding the banana.

I quickly put it back in my bag.

Honestly, I don’t want to keep it.

It’s rotten, and I want to throw it away.

I only hid it in my bag yesterday because Seiran-san barged in.

Reacting to the king’s words, the guards stepped back a bit.

But as the king’s protectors, they still looked wary.

They’re not wary of me—they’re scared of the banana.

Even in my bag, the banana seems terrifying.

“Let me thank you again. The Koseki… ahem, I mean, the Koseki system Lord Shun created not only rebuilt our country’s finances but is now used for identification.”

Huh?

Did he almost say a bad word?

No, it must be my imagination.

A king wouldn’t use such a vulgar word.

Also, I didn’t create it, so don’t thank me.

It’s too embarrassing.

“Father, how many times do I have to tell you? It’s the Koseki system!”

Yours is wrong too!!

It’s the household registry system!!

“Since Father found out about Shun, I have no choice. Father, I’m getting engaged to Shun!”

“What!?”

Our voices overlapped, the king’s and mine.

What’s this strange sense of familiarity?

“I’m already 16!”

I see, the marriageable age here is around 16.

Or maybe a bit older since it’s an engagement.

This world really feels like medieval Europe.

“I’ll never let you marry!!”

“Don’t be stubborn, Father! Shun has already touched my chest!”

“What!?”

Again, my voice overlapped with the king’s.

This time, it felt more awkward than familiar.

Did you have to say that here…?

I want to punch myself for giving in to Anela-san’s desire and touching her chest.

“Anela! Don’t say that in public! No one will marry you now!”

“Didn’t you just say you’d never let me marry?”

“Tch, that’s…”

“What’s that?”

I can see the king struggling as a father.

If I had a daughter who confessed something like that, I’d faint.

The king must have been through many battles to not collapse now.

Otherwise, his heart would’ve stopped.

“Why did you have to say that in front of all these nobles… Now I have no choice but to approve your engagement to Lord Shun.”

I could feel the king’s conflict through his voice.

But there’s one thing we can’t forget.

My will.

I’m still 16, so marriage feels far off, and I want to think about it while properly dating Anela-san.

“Um… I don’t really—”

“If you insist, fine! I’ll approve your engagement to Lord Shun!”

“No, my will—”

“You must be thrilled, Lord Shun! Engaged to the girl you love, right? Right?”

What’s this?

The moment I tried to refuse, the king’s pressure was intense.

Is it because if I refused, Anela-san, who said her chest was touched, would never marry?

What a doting father.

But somehow, I don’t feel like it’s someone else’s problem.

“With everyone gathered here, I, as king, declare the engagement of the first princess of the Emeraldria Kingdom, Anela H. Emerald, to Lord Shun!”

Ignoring my will, the king announced it in a booming voice.

And so, as a second-year high schooler, I ended up with a fiancée.

Chapter 30: Mission 10 – Finale Love

“Sorry…”

“It’s okay, that’s how it turned out.”

Everything was over, and I was apologizing to Seiran-san.

She understood the situation with kindness and wisdom and easily forgave me.

“Sorry, and congratulations.”

Hey!!

High School Boy’s Night, why are you trying to settle everything at once!!

“It’s fine, it’s really something to celebrate. I’m happy Anela-sama has a fiancé.”

Ugh, her words make me feel even guiltier.

I realized again how kind Seiran-san is.

Ever since meeting Seiran-san, I had a question.

Isn’t she Anela-san’s friend?

But now I finally understood.

This world has class barriers I can’t imagine in Japan.

The proof is Seiran-san calling Anela-san with “-sama.”

Maybe if Seiran-san comes to my room in Japan someday, her relationship with Anela-san might change.

“Phew, I’m alive again!”

“What’s that?”

After parting with Seiran-san physically, I used up a lot of stamina swinging the banana, so I took an oxygen can from my bag and breathed deeply.

Anela-san tilted her head, watching me.

Since we were here, the king continued the ball.

Anela-san invited me to dance, but I needed to recover my energy first.

Now I understand how idols feel.

This could get addictive.

It feels like oxygen is flowing through my body.

The exhaustion from earlier vanished like a lie.

“It’s an oxygen can.”

“Sansokan?”

“There’s something called oxygen in the air, and humans need to breathe it to live.”

“Hehe, you’re funny, Shun! You’re like that bard—”

“Kick that guy drinking over there out of the palace now!!”

Not seeing her for a while made these exchanges feel nostalgic.

Now I know for sure, I really love Anela-san.

“I’m ready.”

“Yes♡”

I placed my hand on Anela-san’s outstretched one and gently held her other hand.

I moved my feet slowly as she started dancing.

“Shun, you’re bad at dancing.”

“I’m a commoner.”

“I fell in love with that Shun♡”

Stop.

It’s super embarrassing, so stop.

Realizing Anela-san is my fiancée makes it hard to look at her face.

The girl I thought was a burglar cosplayer that day is now my fiancée—something I never dreamed of.

“By the way, why didn’t you listen to my reply back then?”

“When Father noticed the jewels were gone from my bedroom, I thought I might never see you again—Ouch♡”

“You’re saying it sadly, but it’s all your fault!”

Annoyed, I let go of Anela-san’s hand and patted her head.

I spoke quietly so no one around would hear.

If they found out Anela-san is the culprit now, I probably couldn’t return to Earth.

“Can you still come to my room?”

“Yes, I’ll keep occupying your room—Ouch♡”

“You’re doing it on purpose!?”

Anela-san stuck out her tongue slightly.

Yeah, that’s really annoying.

When did Anela-san learn “tehepero”?

She was so obsessed with ‘Grand of Gun’.

There’s no “tehepero” in ‘Grand of Gun’.

Even world rankers don’t do tehepero after getting shot.

I’ll need to look into it when I get back.

Wait?

Didn’t I just realize the jewel theft case isn’t solved at all?

“Can you even go back to your room?”

“I got Father’s permission. I convinced him there are no more jewels, so the thief won’t come back—Ouch♡”

“You’re the thief!”

Why does she look a bit lonely?

Is she that sad about not being able to spend on ‘Grand of Gun’?

“Shun.”

“What?”

“Thank you for coming to see me.”

As I struggled with unfamiliar dance steps, Anela-san looked into my eyes and said that.

It was just a simple thank you.

But it made me feel coming to this world to see her was worth it.

“Now I can play ‘Grand of Gun’ again—Ouch♡”

“Stop playing that game!!”

“You want me to focus only on you, Shun?”

“…I didn’t say that.”

“Hehe♡”

“Don’t laugh!!”

Ugh, where did she learn those lines?

Still, Anela-san’s smiling face is like an innocent child’s.

Youthful yet beautiful, mature but somehow childish.

“Will you give me a proper reply to my confession?”

“I already did, earlier.”

“That doesn’t count as a reply♡”

Ugh, she’s throwing me off.

Anela-san is more refined than usual, and her face is red, probably because she’s aware we’re engaged.

“I…”

“I?”

“I love you.”

“Well said.”

Hearing my reply, Anela-san smiled happily.

It’s so late for this.

We’re already engaged, and she still wants to hear my confession reply.

It’s so awkward.

“Your face is really red, Shun.”

“Yours too.”

We bumped foreheads and chuckled together.

I guess I can’t do without Anela-san.

My mom said I’m an interesting kid, but Anela-san is the first girl to laugh at my words.

That’s how special she is to me.

If our balconies—my room’s and her bedroom’s—hadn’t connected that day, I wouldn’t have known this feeling.

“You’re stepping on my foot.”

Before I noticed, Anela-san was stepping on my foot.

It didn’t hurt, but I had to protest.

“I’m stepping on it.”

“Can you move your foot?”

“It seems so.”

“What’s your goal?”

“When we return to your world, BBQ-flavored—Ouch♡”

“You’ve been eating yakiniku every day!!”

As the venue’s lights dimmed, I and Anela-san… no, that sounds too convenient, so I’ll rephrase.

As the candles went out toward the finale, Anela-san and I shared our second kiss.
