4 First Love

"Greetings General Anderson, I have a favor to ask of you that I need your help with."

After receiving the permission from the coachman, I decided to ask Emelia, currently disguised as General Anderson to accompany me to the Gwendal Kingdom.

"..."

She's not responding, did her mind gone blue screen for a while? Her face turns red. Oi, there are even some guys blush at her beauty. I don't mind but… she is currently a guy right now. She started to calm herself down and to breath calmly. Ah, she went hibernation for a while.

"Who is that guy? General Anderson is lowering his head towards him."

"Probably some high-rank officer I suppose?"

Some of the soldiers started talking among themselves, well I approach Emelia after she had finished saying out the speech. Of course, there would be soldiers sticking around to see what's happening.

"Anderson? Are you alright?"

"*Cough Ahem, I'm fine. T-Thank you for a-asking. *mutter *mutter."

She started speaking normal, for a second there I thought her emotions has calm down. It clearly shows her mind is in panic mode right now. I don't think I am patient enough to wait for her to restart her operating system again. She needs some upgrades man. She is talking to herself right now, staring at the floor, is she trying to connect to me using telepathic powers?

"*Mutter *mutter."

"Alright stop there, I can't hear a word you're saying. I don't think your power is working."

"Power?" She looks really confused.

Am I wrong?

"Aren't you trying to connect to me using your telepathic powers? I apologize, but it seems you are currently talking to the ground alone."

She started to blush red, I swear if this is an anime, steam would be appearing right on top of her head. Man, it is disappointing for a novel though. In any case, I wouldn't know if she is angry or embarrassed right now. The glare is real though.

"I need you to accompany me to the Gwendal Kingdom."

"I can arrange for my teams to…"

"No, I mean you. You alone my dear…muuuhh*."

My mouth was apparent shut close by Emelia. There's no one around here though or is there ninja's or assassin too in this realm? Alright fine but I instead go on a journey with her alone. Hold on, isn't that dangerous? Prying my hands away. No, I'm too weak. Oi, I can't breathe. Timeout! Timeout! Phew!

She finally let go of her hands, not because of seeing me suffering but a patrol of guards is walking past. God give that patrolling guard some benefit of saving my life. Now where I am? Oh yeah, this future wife of mine is trying to kill me.

"General Eme…. Anderson is there a problem?"

Phew, I almost get choked again by her. If this continues, the whole chapter will be just me talking to her, damn it. Alright, time skip ahead.

I finally manage to convince her to accompany me as there are some relevant documents that I need to pass it to the king and she's the only person that I could trust.

We were currently in a speed carriage, as I don't think she could function well if we were to ride a horse together. Like my previous world had said, don't drink and drive. I will die early in that case, or she might freeze up and doesn't even move at all. I bet on the latter.

I didn't think a general, the one that they called "Deafening Killer" is this cute. Well, cute and all but I don't think our relationship is going to progress if she keeps hibernating whenever I try to flirt with her.

I wonder who gave her that title, it's probably that princess Eliza, she seems chuunibyou enough. I took out the golden crest and started to inquire some information out from her.

"Anderson, do you know what this crest can do?"

"It was told that, only the heroes and people that have done a great deal to protect and help the kingdom to flourish. There are only five of the crest in the whole Gwendal Kingdom. There are five members of the royalty altogether thus each of them has one, they are ultimately given to the ones that they really love."

Is that the reason why this general prostrates to me after seeing this crest? Hold on, what did she say about love?

"There might be a misunderstanding, I have no intimate relationship with Eliza at all."

"You are calling her by her name though."

"I am not supposed to?"

"For royalty, only those that are intimate or married are allowed to call out each other names."

"That is some bullsh*t reasoning, probably to allow the bootlicker to appease them. Oh, princess the second beauty of all Gwendal Kingdom, I would blab la bla…"

"Raul?"

"Oh don't mind me, I was talking to myself. Anyway, even though I hold this crest, I am not powerful, and I haven't yet to protect or help the kingdom to flourish. I'm trying my best to know what's my own power."

The journey was smooth, even though there might be some accidental teasing in which I would need to wait a few minutes for her to restart. Other than that, I enjoyed talking to her. The entry to the Gwendal Kingdom is too smooth. It seems I have received an express ticket. Looking at the crowd of people queueing, it probably takes about a few hours to just get inside.

So now it comes to the part where I am about to be beaten huh.

"You lied, telling me you have a document on your hand? Important enough that you need ME to accompany you?"

"You hate accompanying me?"

"Eh? Well, I quite enjoy… Hey! That's not the point!"

Emelia started to push me against the wall. Wait this is some anime scene where a guy shoves a girl against the wall to confess his love towards her.

"I hate being lied to, and my job is to secure the border so that no monster gets past and invade our lands. Many innocent lives will perish if I fail to do my part! Do you get it!?"

"….. Yes. Yes, I got it but can I have my personal space back? We are currently out here in public, and everyone is watching us."

"Huh?"

Emelia started to look around, a vast crowd were staring at us, there was some cheering as well.

"I didn't know general Anderson swing that way!"

"Wooott hot news! The reason why all the girls were rejected purely because he prefers guys!"

"That guy is so lucky to have general Anderson madly in love with him!"

"I wonder who is the dominant one in the relationship."

"Hahahahaha and here I was jealous about my wife fetish of military guys."

Emelia's face started turning red, she felt anxious and looks to me for help. Of course! I will help her! Showing my best innocent look, I began to look at her timidly and acting embarrassed.

"P-Please be g-gentle, this is my f-first time."

Baam*

I think I died.

Emelia had a confused look for a while, but in a split of a second, she got it. With her whole body flushed red in embarrassment she hit at the side of my head.

"Go die already!!"

I flew… Quite a distance…

That's all folks, I finally died.

I am not receiving any flashback though…

I woke up to find Emelia sitting beside me. Where am I? This place looks like some sort of a clinic, smell of medicine I think? No, there's none. What the hell am I talking about, magic man… Magic!

"You're awake? Waking up later than this, I would have left you here."

"The first and foremost I would like to thank you for taking your time to accompany me."

Emelia quickly averts her eyes away from me, at the same time acting natural.

"Y-You're welcome."

"Come to think of it, do I get to marry Anderson or my cute Emelia."

"Ehh!?"

In exaggerating motions, she quickly turns her back to me.

"I-I haven't decided yet, I need more time. I got to go now, I will be back after the invasion has calm down."

"In another term, you won't be back?"

"Ergk…"

"You're running away? Then tell me, do you like me? Do you accept me being your husband?"

It was a long silence, even if I was playing around at the start. I somehow or another really fall in love with her. Hey, don't judge me.

"Like…."

"Huh?"

"I like you…"

"Sorry, come again?"

"I like you dammit~!"

"...…"

Her cute gesture as she fiddles with her finger, I can die in peace now.

"B-But I don't think I have the time to…"

"Emelia, didn't I swear to protect and love to you till death? I promise you, I will get strong. Strong enough to accompany you in your journey."

Emelia was hesitating, but after a while she affirms, and slowly her worrying look started to disappear, and a beautiful broad smile appears, well her voice still sounds like a guy though.

"I… I'll be waiting, so hurry up alright? See you again."

"Ah… There she goes…"

I lie back down on the bed. Now, what should I do? I still have no clue what my power is going to be. Do I even have one? Think optimistically. First things first, I need to find some ways to get some money. I don't think I should use this crest, it might invite some troubles instead.
