Kirin's New Weapon
"Although I think the time you came out was a bit late!"
At this point, Silvia glared fiercely at William with her reddened eyes.
William shook his head with a wry smile at Silvia's statement.
However, he didn't offer any explanation for himself, even though his relationship with Silvia was progressing faster than he had anticipated, leaving him no time to explain.
But there was still a reason for his hesitation: he was worried that if he confessed to Silvia, their relationship would return to its freezing point.
As for why I chose to confess tonight!
Actually, there was a hidden agenda behind this, especially since Ursula was about to be cured.
Gratitude, love, and remorse—a multitude of emotions are now being amplified to their maximum in Silvia's heart.
If he confesses to Silvia now, even if Silvia's really angry, at least she won't cut off all contact with him because of her concerns and her own emotions.
Some might feel that William's actions are like trying to have your cake and eat it too.
After all, they kept saying they wanted Silvia to make her own choice and didn't want to hurt her.
On the other hand, he wanted to exploit Silvia's gratitude towards him to control her choices and make her unable to leave him.
However, William did not see this as despicable; he was simply doing his best.
The two remained in this state for a while before Silvia pulled her small hand away from William's tight grip.
Then he got up, pulled a tissue from the table, and wiped his still slightly moist eyes.
When she tried to sit back down on the sofa, she saw that William was still sitting in the spot next to her.
After hesitating for a moment, she sat back down next to William.
Then, seeing the bitter expression on William's face, a mischievous smile returned to her pretty face.
"What's wrong? You were so blatant about wanting to build a harem just now, why are you silent now!"
"This--!"
William scratched the back of his head, looking slightly embarrassed.
Actually, he's different this time; his hesitation stems entirely from a difference in worldview.
In the Irregular at Magic High School World, although everyone follows the system of monogamy, it is very normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines in the world of magicians.
After all, spreading one's own excellent qualities is of great importance to a large family.
That's why he was Mayumi without any worries.
In the DanMachi World, it goes without saying that the system in this world is biased towards ancient systems.
Stronger males have more mating opportunities, and that's no joke there.
Simply put, if you're capable enough, it's not difficult to be a groom every night if you want to.
Of course, this is absolutely free!
But things are different here, even though it's common for wealthy people in this world to keep several mistresses.
The problem is that Silvia is just a girl from an ordinary family, and although she understands the lifestyle of the upper class.
But that doesn't mean she will be assimilated by the ideas of high society.
That's why he's been somewhat hesitant and uncertain about Silvia's situation.
William's hesitant expression earned him another eye roll from Silvia. Then, remembering her original plan for the day, she spoke in a half-smile.
"You know what? I actually invited you here today so you could stay overnight!"
"But now, after what you just said, the plan to let me stay overnight is off the table."
Despite what Silvia says, William doesn't believe a single punctuation mark.
A girl who is so shy even when she sees him half-naked invites him to stay overnight in her room—it's simply impossible.
"Alright! That's all for today!"
"By the way, after Ursula's treatment is finished tomorrow, would you like to go out for a meal together?"
William stood up and straightened his wrinkled clothes.
"What, are you trying to take some roundabout route?!"
Silvia stood up, slapped William's hand away, and then started tidying him up herself!
"Yes, I'm hoping your teacher will put in a good word for me! After all, you've really offended me."
"Really? I think if the teacher knew your true situation, she would probably just advise me to stay away from you!"
Silvia covered her mouth and chuckled softly!
"Then please don't blurt everything out!"
P. S.: Ugh, this part feels a bit awkward no matter how I write it; I haven't managed to convey the emotional shift.
Fortunately, the later plot and the female lead don't need this aspect anymore, so please bear with it a little.
I will strive to improve my writing skills.

Time slips away quietly like this!
Ursula was indeed revived by William the next day, and Valda was carefully using Ursula's body.
After all, Ursula's body was a very good match for her, and she didn't want to damage it carelessly like the spare parts she had used before.
Therefore, Ursula was able to get out of bed and move around freely on the very day she woke up.
Silvia happily cooked a meal, and the three of them enjoyed a pleasant meal together.
After that, his relationship with Silvia seemed to cool down.
This doesn't mean that the feelings between the two have faded. On the contrary, compared to the previous feeling of being pushed along and progressing rapidly, Silvia likes this way of getting along even more.
