MC rebirths in a Anime-Crossover world where he'll try his best to live an ordinary life, while trying to survive and get far as he can from supernatural stuff. (Slice-of-Life in a modern Japan with ANIMEs that don't visibly affect normal life of other people)
Pulling a huge cushion chair from the storage where I keep things I bought on a whim, I seated my guests on it.
My main goal of these negotiations is not to allow Lala to declare me her fiancé.
In case of failure, the wedding is a matter of time. If her father, the King of Develuke and the ruler of the known universe, finds out about this, then I will not be able to escape the fate of becoming his son-in-law.
Despite the fact that he has conquered and ruling the entire Milky Way galaxy, he is by nature a warrior and is bored with routine life.
It is unlikely that he will be against the candidate chosen by his dear eldest daughter.
I have no lack of modesty, but he certainly won't be against me and will try to get us married as quickly as possible in order to abdicate the throne. Everything to live for his own pleasure.
For a moment he reminded me of a certain "antlered" deer, but I quickly dispelled these thoughts.
No-no. They are not at all similar. That fat guy and drunkard can't be compared to Lala's father.
But... I also don't want this terrible burden called "Rule" and "King".
Sitting quietly with my eyes closed, I thought about a pattern of development of a dialogue to solve the problem.
Having withdrawn too much into myself, I did not expect that they would start without me.
"Lala-sama, who is this guy next to you?" – Zastin did not hesitate and asked the most dangerous question.
- Oh, he is Hoshino Emerald. – I came to my senses only when Lala hugged my shoulder with her hands. - My fiance.
- F-fiance?! – came the answer from the bodyguards.
At that moment, tears began to flow down my face with an empty look and a sad smile.
Why the world... why are you so cruel to me? Is it because I'm an introvert? Do you want to see quick solutions from me? But I can't do that, I quickly get lost in stressful situations...
After just one day, I again accepted unconditional surrender.
As soon as Zastin found out about this, as the most loyal subordinate of Gid Lucion Develuke - his lord, he would immediately report it.
Any hasty decisions, especially in the world of anime, will only make the situations worse.
As far as I remember, they make a marriage proposal, no matter how ridiculous it may sound, by touching the chest. Having me said that this misunderstanding would result in sexual harassment of the princess, especially the daughter of a man who is capable of blowing up the planet himself, like Frieza.
So three more people settled in my house, not counting Lala.
Having ordered food for my new "permanent" homemates, I locked myself in and sat on the bed, reflecting on future events.
I had no time to prepare due to the avalanche-like cascade of events.
But now knowing what awaits me, I am completely confident that I can cool the situation and bring it to the status quo.
Moreover, as far as I remember, Zastin and his two assistants showed themselves well as manga artists.
This not only removes the label of extra mouths to feed, but also gives me free labor.
Hmmm... maybe everything is for the better in the end? I think it's worth sticking with this mindset for now to avoid unnecessary stress.
As for future manga artists, I have one webcomic in mind that they can start honing their skills... Of course, only after I teach them the basics.
Now I'll try to increase the pace of story(or not, oopsies)
I have a problem with my stories when I always try to haste events, so I have bad skills(or close to none) for filling gaps in normal speed of storytelling.
It was interesting experience, but in my opinion(very subjective) it was unnecessary stretched.(yep, that kind of problem)
Have a nice weekends everyone
