BXBX NOVEL Chapter 4 - I Refuse! (Edited)
"Marry me!"
"..." Kyle didn\'t answer, the sheer shock he felt from Esdeath\'s sudden marriage proposal, stole him off his voice!
Never did he think that a little girl like her would be bold and naïve enough to actually propose to a guy she met not more than half an hour ago, this became further unbelievable when he remembered his own dull appearance, and ultimately became downright impossible, when he again thought about who the girl in question was. Esdeath, the sadistic yandere queen, one of the most beautiful girls in all of anime verse proposed to him! Yeah, he was reguessing the possibility of being in a dream again, the powers and all this felt too convenient a prospect, yet reality told him otherwise. He wasn\'t in a dream all of this was real and Esdeath was proposing to him.
Moreover, the strangest thing in all of this was that Esdeath the loli was actually serious, just that gaze she directed at him full of sincerity, hope, determination and affection was enough to warrant it, though the why of this matter still eludes him.
Kyle now out of his thoughtful daze, sighed. He carefully looked at Esdeath again, looked at her expression that held myriads of expression and spoke in a stern tone. "You understand that you just met me just now, right? And you\'re seriously proposing to a guy that you know nothing of? Esdeath, I know that you are young and will think of this as your naivety, but beware not everyone is like me, you\'re beautiful and the world is cruel, you can\'t go off like this proposing to every guy you meet, never do this again!"
Esdeath nodded at Kyle\'s questions, completely ignoring the last part, which gave a headache to Kyle, she enthusiastically replied. "Indeed, I know nothing about you, but the obvious fact is that you are stronger than me and I like you; these reasoning are enough for me to ask for your eternal company."
"Are you seriously for real? Are you saying that if someone is stronger than you, then you\'ll just marry them? Is that what you\'re saying? I\'d be disappointed if it was, Esdeath!"
Esdeath shook her head vehemently and hurriedly responded, fearing that he might get her wrong. "Of course not, didn\'t you hear that I like you? Furthermore, I also have my own preferences and conditions that have to be met for me to propose to someone so willingly, I won\'t simply marry anyone like that, that\'s retarded."
Kyle then pointed at himself and spoke in an amused tone full of jest. "So you\'re saying that I, a delivery boy you know practically nothing about, met your preferences and conditions which are enough for a girl like you to propose to me? What kind of joke are you even spouting?"
Esdeath nodded without any hesitation to his first question and simply glared at him, as if saying to him to not take this matter so lightly or her sincerity to be a joke. Kyle finally assured that all of this wasn\'t a big fat joke, awkwardly scratched his head with a helpless expression plastered on his face, his voice filled with honesty as he spoke the hidden truth. "I\'m not sure how I met your conditions, much less your preferences, nevertheless I must correct your misunderstanding. Thing is I am not strong at all, you\'re gravely mistaken if you think otherwise."
"Now tell me who is joking? How can you even spout such lies when you decimated that beast in just a single punch, a feat I couldn\'t even hope to accomplish, at least not in the near future. You don\'t have to be so humble, you know? Don\'t lie anymore."
Kyle honestly didn\'t know how to answer that, he definitely wouldn\'t tell about his powers to anyone, that too with so many conditions attached to it, it would\'ve been an act of utter foolishness if he did that.
Esdeath continued. "What, cat got your tongue? Can\'t answer me now, can you? Please don\'t lie to me again Kyle, don\'t respond to my sincerity with lies. So, even though I\'m a girl repeating this, let me ask you once again. Kyle! Please, Marry me!!!"
Kyle took a deep breath, he knew what he was going to do was foolish even considering the circumstances he is presented with, he still had his morals and without it he wasn\'t him anymore. So he decisively answered. "Sorry, I am afraid I have to refuse that offer Esdeath."
He thought that he would see a disappointed Esdeath, or maybe an angry one, maybe even a normal crying expression like the little girl she was, however unlikely that possibility seemed to be because of who she was, however she managed to surprise him again by instead showing an expression of satisfaction. His rational mind was getting beaten black and blue by this loli today.
"Indeed! My eyes aren\'t wrong, you truly are the one destined for me!"
Kyle\'s mind again spiraled into the same confusing state this discussion started with, so he gave up and simply asked. "Mind explaining?"
"Actually, this is also a test of mine and also the last of my conditions, if you were to accept my marriage proposal easily I would have been disappointed rather than being happy, it\'s because the kind of person that would accept my proposal without really knowing me would just be a lustful person that only agreed to marry me for my appearance and to use my body as he sees fit. I detest these individuals the most, you don\'t know just how glad I am that you aren\'t one of them."
Esdeath explained with happiness, while Kyle\'s mind went in turmoil, he actually wouldn\'t have minded accepting her proposal if it weren\'t for the sole fact that she was only a 13 year old kid.
Once again he wasn\'t a lolicon, no matter how beautiful a girl was, it didn\'t change the fact that she was a child and to him this was unacceptable, he detested lolicons.
Thus Esdeath misunderstood him, but he kept his silence anyway it would be better left unsaid.
"So Kyle, this time I\'m finally serious. Marry me!"
Even though he was proposed by this really beautiful blue haired girl twice, his answer remained the same.
"I refuse."
This time Esdeath\'s expression darkened and disappointment filled her being, an extremely uncomfortable feeling filled her chest, she couldn\'t describe it but it was still very unpleasant.
But Esdeath wasn\'t someone who was known to give up, especially if it was something that she desired and her desire for Kyle\'s companionship had reached its peak.
"Tell me! Why did you refuse my proposal? Is there something that you don\'t like? Am I not enough for you? If that\'s the case then I\'ll change to someone that you desire! I\'ll follow all your wishes, just please accept my proposal Kyle, please accept me!" Esdeath pleaded in a desperate voice.
"Okay, okay I\'ll have to stop you there! You don\'t have to go that far okay? You don\'t need to change yourself. You just need to be someone good, besides I didn\'t refuse because you aren\'t worthy or anything like that it\'s just.. Esdeath you\'re simply too young, you see I won\'t marry a child."
Esdeath was slightly surprised at Kyle\'s reason, she didn\'t really think of that possibility, however with this she had a chance!
"Then if I grow up, will you be willing to marry me?" Esdeath asked.
"Hm? If you are still interested in me at that time, sure why not?" As Kyle said that he thought \'Yeah, I\'m not even sure if we would even meet next time.\'
Hearing his answer, Esdeath made the most beautiful smile that she ever did in her whole life, and even Kyle was affected by it; he couldn\'t help but mumble. "How Beautiful…!"
"Then you\'re officially my fiance!"
"Yeah- wait you know the word fiance?"
"Of course, even though I live in a tribe it doesn\'t mean I\'m ignorant I\'ve been in the capital once."
Kyle nodded a bit, and realized something. "So wait, you\'re going to the capital?"
"Yes! That\'s my plan." Esdeath crossed her arm and nodded.
Kyle was about to say something, but he stopped as he finally realized that Esdeath\'s entire body was filled with fresh blood of the danger beast.
"Esdeath, why don\'t you change clothes first?"
..
..
..
Esdeath got rid of her tribal clothes, and got changed with the clothes that Kyle brought along with him.
It was just some cheap everyday clothes, because Kyle was broke he couldn\'t buy anything good. Though it was only by his world\'s standards it was a different story here.
The clothes that Esdeath was currently wearing were unique to this world, the only one of its kind.
Esdeath was wearing a black common shirt, blue short jeans and black rubber shoes that Kyle bought from the market with a 50% discount.
Though the shoes weren\'t included in the description, Kyle thought that the person might need it, and he also wanted to complete the set so he bought it anyway, he was right.
As for how did he know the size? He just searched in Google about the most common foot size of a 13 years old.
Kyle nodded at Esdeath\'s new looks, though he now regretted not buying some cosplay costumes, he wanted to see her in another outfit but what can he do? He didn\'t know that this would happen anyway, nor did he have the money to even buy a costume like that.
He gave Esdeath a thumbs up, and complimented her. "You look beautiful in that outfit, Esdeath."
Esdeath smiled at his compliment, no one disliked being complimented, especially girls, Esdeath was no exception, moreover the compliment coming from the person she was interested in made it that much more satisfying.
"Thank you."
[ Ding! You have Completed your delivery order! ]
[ You have 10 seconds to get ready to go back in your world please drive your scooter for 100 meters straight! If you don\'t you\'ll be staying in this world forever. ]
Seeing that, Kyle immediately jumped on his scooter near him, he didn\'t have time to say a proper goodbye.
He started his scooter, and drove straight without stopping and shouted.
"Esdeath! If you\'re satisfied with my service give me a 5 star rating! If you want to order another takeaway please try to think of me again!"
After saying that Kyle got teleported back into his world.
Esdeath was flabbergasted at the sudden disappearance of Kyle, it was just too sudden for her to even react.
As a result Esdeath tried to find Kyle, however he had truly disappeared like he wasn\'t here in the first place.
In the end Esdeath gave up since she understood that Kyle had disappeared, she spoke in a voice filled with determination and certainty. "I will definitely meet you again! And when that time comes I\'ll definitely marry you!"
Esdeath made an oath, in the future they would certainly meet, what it held for both of them was a story for another time.
