The Great Sage Who Did not Remain in Legend - 43.1

“Dad, what are you doing with Mergin…?”

Ignoring Rikka’s concerns, the old man came out with a cheerful expression, putting his arm around Mergin’s shoulder.

“Rikka, tell your mother to prepare food and drinks.”

“Huh?”

“It’s a feast! A celebration!”

“Mergin, what’s going on?”

Rikka, who had expected a tense atmosphere, looked puzzled.

“Well, my dad said that you and I should get married and take over the workshop.”

“Huhhhh?!”

“Rikka, hurry up. I’m introducing this guy to Mom.”

“What could have led to that?”

“Honestly, I don’t know…”

Defeated by the old man, who wouldn’t listen no matter what, Rikka went to call her mother to prepare food and drinks.

“Oh my, I’m sorry everyone for what my child has done.”

She was a very kind-looking mother.

“I’m sorry for this sudden situation.”

“What’s with all the formality? He’s going to be my son soon. No need to hold back.”

“Oh my, this gentleman is a good match for Rikka. Rikka, how wonderful that you found someone your father likes so much!”

“Mom, that’s not—”

“Oh dear, oh dear, I must prepare the food!”

As she went to prepare, Mergin said, “We need to clear up this misunderstanding quickly, or the situation will get worse.”

Chuckling, Cisco said, “You’re enjoying this situation, aren’t you?”

“Of course it’s interesting!”

This guy…

And so, the unclear celebration began.

“Rikka, you also swing this sword and give your thoughts.”

“Just swing it?”

“Hurry up!”

Rikka was handed the sword Mergin had just swung and did as instructed.

“Well?”

“It’s just a normal sword. I think it would cut well since it’s sharpened.”

“That’s it?”

“What else is there?”

The old man looked exasperated.

“You seem to have gotten stronger, but you’re still not there. Just hurry up and quit being a hunter to marry Mergin.”

“Why would that happen? I’m not getting married yet! I’m going to become a stronger hunter!”

“That’s impossible for you.”

“Don’t say it’s impossible! You always say that! Is your only talent to criticize everything I do?”

It was rare for Rikka to get emotional. Did she have a bad relationship with her father?

“Hey sis, that sword was forged by me. I’m confident in it, but Dad never says anything.”

“Oh, this was made by Rock? It’s quite well done.”
