"Big Brother, make sure to visit us again soon, okay?" Colette hugged Lux's waist, while the latter patted her head.
"Of course," Lux replied. "When I return, I will be a Ranker like your sister."
"Hehehe. My sister is really the best. She beat you in becoming a Ranker. So, how about it, Big Brother? Do you want to marry her now?"
"… I'll think about it."
To his surprise, Colette pulled back and shook her head firmly.
"You must decide now, Big Brother," Colette stated. "Now that my sister is now a Ranker, she will definitely get a lot of suitors. Although you are on the top of my list, I would hate it if I see my sister grow up to be an old lady without getting married because you don't want to give a firm answer!"
Before Lux could even give his reply, a monotonous voice cut him off, and made the adorable Dwarf who was hugging him, stiffen.
"Don't marry me off without asking for my permission."
