The day of the blind date arrived.

Sam, depressed from the morning, was seen off by the smiling face of his fiancée, Lise, and went with Jonathan to a restaurant in King's Landing.

Jonathan is accompanying him as a surrogate father.

He was the father of his fiancée and had always treated him like a son, so he was well suited for the role.

He was going to accompany him without being asked.

And it was no wonder, since Sam was the fiancé of his daughter Liese. In other words, he is an important family member of Count Walker's family.

We do not know if Sam is going to be a son-in-law or Lise is going to be a daughter-in-law, but they are still family.

My beloved fiancée is away today, saying, "It would be strange if I went along on Sam's blind date.

Sam would like to take Lise with him and say "I'm sorry, I'm engaged to this person," but that would cause a big problem.

Even if I refuse, I have to make sure to arrange the blind date properly so as not to embarrass the other party.

"Oh, my stomach is starting to hurt.

"Ha-ha-ha, Sam, what a coincidence. Me too."

I walk into the restaurant with Jonathan, clutching my stomach.

The restaurant , built in a prime location in the royal city, is popular among the nobility.

The restaurant is always overbooked, and it is said that even high ranking nobles cannot enter without a reservation.

Rumor has it that royalty also go there.

The interior of such a restaurant patronized by aristocrats was calm and simple.

However, even Sam could tell that it cost a lot of money.

The tables and chairs, as well as the paintings and vases must be quite expensive.

It was a little uncomfortable for Sam, who is a commoner.

(......I have never been to a restaurant with such an atmosphere even in my previous life.)

When I was living in Japan, I used to go to family restaurants and izakayas (Japanese style pubs) with friends. I have been to some Italian restaurants, but they were run by people I knew, so they were less intimidating.

Once I was taken to a fashionable bar, but it was still a friendly place.

Because I am Sam, I am intimidated by the atmosphere of this place.

What's more, I have an arranged marriage waiting for me.

I felt my stomach ache.

"We've been expecting you. Count Jonathan Walker, Samuel Scheidt, Wizard of the Court. I am General Manager Thomas Jura.

Sam and his friends were greeted by a man in a classic suit.

Thomas Jura, who claimed to be the general manager, was a gray-haired man in his fifties with a soft smile on his face. He bowed politely to Sam and the others.

Sam bowed hurriedly.

"We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for choosing our restaurant as the venue for the arranged marriage between the Counts of Purple and Walker today. Countess Murasaki and Countess Hanae are already waiting for you in your rooms, and I will show you to them.

The general manager leads us to a room in the back.

Perhaps noticing Sam's curiosity at the fact that there was not a single guest even though it was almost noon, Thomas announced, "The restaurant is closed for a private party today.

He is absolutely mortified that a popular restaurant frequented by aristocrats would be rented out for the whole day.

When I asked Jonathan if he knew about this, he looked pale and shook his head.

It seems that Magnolia had arranged it.

"...... I wonder if Mokuren-dono really intends to marry Sam and his granddaughter."

Jonathan's mutterings gave Sam a headache.

Even Sam knew that Magnolia was serious.

(I still think it's a bad idea to go on a blind date with Liese-sama, but it would be rude to suddenly refuse after all this ...... I don't know about the nobility, but I'll try not to embarrass Mokuren-sama in the meantime).

The general manager stops in front of the room and knocks lightly on the door.

"Count Jonathan Walker, Samuel Scheidt, Wizard of the Court, has arrived.

Thomas opened the door.

In the room was Magnolia, smiling and drinking tea, and a woman a little older than Sam, with a pale emotional face, waiting for him.

"We have been expecting you, Jonathan-dono, Samuel-dono."

"Well, well, well, Magnolia-dono. I apologize for keeping you waiting.

No, we just got here early. Please have a seat.

The general manager pulls out a chair and Sam and the others are seated.

The woman sitting opposite Sam looked at him intently.

Meanwhile, Thomas bowed and left the room.

"Let me quickly introduce you to my granddaughter," she said. This is my granddaughter, Hualien. Say hello.

"--Purple Lotus. Let me tell you first, I'm not interested in this blind date."

The one who said so clearly was Hualien, a woman with voluminous peach-colored hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a white traditional costume - similar to a Chinese dress in her previous life.

She looked somewhat emotionless, but I could tell she was bored.

Perhaps she is a person who does not show her emotions.

I think she is the opposite of Lise, who often smiles.

However, she was as beautiful as Lise.

"I told her not to say anything else..."

Magnolia sighed heavily at her granddaughter's words, Jonathan clutched his stomach, and Sam was..,

(Huh? Maybe it won't go further than a blind date?)

I feel a little better now.
