Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

Chapter 274  Real Date

The celebration of Sophia's birthday was successful and ended without a hitch. Since that day, Sophia has become a legal adult, and she was at the right age to attend the academy, just like her brother did.

Although she could, she already decided not to attend for the reason that she wanted to personally manage our company; it was getting bigger, by the way. We understood her decisions, and we accepted them since attending the academy was not an obligation for non-nobles.

Nightfall deepened, and the party ended. My family spent the night at Raeven's manor. They already anticipated that and had accommodations for us to sleep in. In respect for the Raeven family, we did not do anything naughty that night and slept peacefully in our respective rooms.

Going back that night, I postponed the discussion about the dungeon. So the next day, I talked with Uncle and Mark about the details of the dungeon and our plans for it.

I finally revealed to them the blueprint of the transportation system I told them way back from Big Sis's cotillion. They were fascinated by the way the transportation itself worked and enthusiastically cooperated with me to make it come true.

Not only that, they would provide the materials and manpower for the construction. Also, they loaned us money for the country building with no interest and a relatively long grace period. With shake hands, the plan of constructing the transportation system was taken for granted.

After our early morning discussion, my day became vacant, and I had much free time. Normally, I would go to the dungeon during this period of time, but the dungeon was already conquered, so I have less motivation to do dungeon crawling.

My time hunting monsters in the dungeon was replaced by managing it as the Dungeon Master. I also did experiments and training, as well as having fun with my women day and night.

Over time, I realized I should spend and manage my time wisely. But for now, I cancelled my daily routine to spend the day with someone I loved. So today, I am on a date with Sophia.

"...Just because it was revolutionary doesn't mean they have to gamble for it. Father has formalized countless ideas and innovations from everybody, but some of them miserably failed. But your ideas are always incredible and fascinating, Raphael, so I see no problem with it."

"Even though the construction has not started yet, you seem to be confident that it will become successful. You don't have to put that much faith in my word, you know?"

"Please have confidence in your work and in yourself, Raphael. I know you have been working hard to make everyone around you happy, but you have to make yourself happy, you know?"

"Of course, I never forget to treat myself. That's why I am making myself happy by having time together with you."

"You are such a sweet man, Raphael."

Despite the sub-zero temperature, Sophia and I were having a date at our café in the Imperial Capital. On the table, various sweets and desserts were served. Parfait, ice cream, cake—we have it all in contrast to the season.

It had been our second destination after our lunch at our restaurant. Not only did we have fast food chains and cafés, we also had establishments that offered luxurious dishes and cuisines. Since the menus there were quite expensive, most of their customers were wealthy people.

Zero temperatures were not a problem inside those establishments since there were magic heating devices that warmed up those buildings so that customers could enjoy their cold desserts and drinks. We had to spend on services for the comfort of our patrons.

"Oh, by the way," Sophia said those words, and then her expressions went gloomy. "You are going to attend the academy this spring, so our time together would lessen quite a lot..."

Now that I thought about it, time passed fast, and spring was just around the corner. And after the snow melted, it would be my time to study at the academy, which definitely shortened my time with my loved ones. I am a noble, so I am obliged to attend in order for me to become a full-fledged noble.

I was aware that building a new nation would exempt me from doing so. But building a nation was not playing in a sandbox, and it would take time just to build the foundations. So using that hack would not be effective. So I hoped that attending the academy would not be bad.

"Don't worry, Sophia. There would be no classes on weekends, so I assure you that I would visit you frequently during that time. I could even sneak at night so that I could have time with you and my family."

"How kind of you, Raphael." Once she heard my words, Sophia brightened up and smiled. "And I know you would do that just to spend nights with your women. But don't worry, I'll allow it."

"...Thank you, I guess?"

She got me there, but she was right that I was planning to sneak out of the academy at night just to do my women. Moreover, since Big Sis was with me in the academy, I might teleport to her dorm at night and then fuck her.

"There is a high chance that you will find your primary wife there."

"Yeah, there will be."

"Whoever she is, I hope we will get along, and she is ready to accept your unethical behavior and relationships."

"I do hope so." Saying that, I took a spoonful of vanilla ice cream. "And I hope finding a woman like that will be easy."

Really, I needed to find my ideal girl to make my life complete. I did not mean Sophia was not enough, because she was more than enough. It was just that I needed a noble spouse to produce noble heirs. Finding that woman would not be easy.

"By the way, after this, where do you want to go?"

"Let me think," Sophia pondered, holding her chin. "How about we watch a theater performance or an orchestra?"

"Hmm. I want that too, so it's decided."

After Sophia finished her parfait, we paid our bill before we went to a theater and watched a musical performance.
