Matchmaking Success

It came the day of Tsukikage-nee-sama's anticipated second matchmaking dance party.

The plan this time around is to devote ourselves to being Tsukikage-nee-sama's support right from the start.

But, there's just a bit of a problem. Stellaria stands out a little too much, or rather, she's already like the star. The eyes of all the attendees are piercing her.

Stellaria was fidgety right from the start. Her beauty is on a clearly different level, like she's a Princess of this castle. All the more so because Okaa-san isn't around today. It's already what you call a 'sole winner'.

"Tsukuyomi-sama. For some reason, it feels like the eyes are all directed over here......"

"That is because Stellaria is beautiful"

"It is embarrassing though......"

"That's what a dance party is, right?"

Immediately after, a few men approached us.

"Er-, erm, would you be, Stellaria Neumann-sama?"

"Eh? Eeh, how can I help you?"

"Are you participating in the dance party?"

"Ah, n-, no, I am, no more than just accompanying as Tsukuyomi-sama's chamberlain"

"Tsu-, Tsukuyomi-sama's chamberlain! Is it!"

"Eeh, that is correct. Is something the matter?"

"N-, no, wha-, what about marriage then?"

"For the rest of my life, I will be Tsukuyomi-sama's chamberlain......"

"I-, is that so......what a pity"

Everybody, drooped their shoulders and went back disappointedly.

"Look. Stellaria, everybody is smitten with you, aren't they!"

"No way! Someone like me......"

She really doesn't have self-confidence. Has she never seen a mirror?

"Well, whatever, we're going to devote ourselves to being Onee-sama's aide today. I wonder where is she?"

I search for a red dress. Although there are a few of them, I found her right away. It looks like she's by herself at the moment.

I guess I'll try speaking to her a little.

I lock arms with Stellaria and pull her along while using Levitation.

"Onee-sama!"

"Ah! Onii-sama"

"Onee-sama. That dress, it looks wonderful. The necklace also suits you very well"

"Thank you. Stellaria-sama is also really beautiful. You are the center of attention, you know"

"My! No way......"

"By the way, Onee-sama. Are you still by yourself?"

"Yes. There is still, nobody who will speak to me"

"Are you not going to speak to them by yourself?"

"Eeh! No way! Is that not embarassing!"

"But, if you do not speak to them, it will end up wrapping up at this rate, you know?"

"Tha-, that is true, but......"

"What kind of a person, is Onee-sama's cup of tea? Is he in this hall?"

"Tha-, that is......actually......"

"What. He is huh. Who could he be?"

At that moment, the man Onee-sama turned around and stared straight at was.......a wallflower. No, that's a word you use on a woman. Correction. He was standing awkwardly in front of the wall.

It can't be helped. Let's go and scout him out a little.

"Onee-sama, I will go and have a little look. Stellaria, let's go"

"Yes"

"Wait a minute, Onii-sama! What are you planning to do!"

Nee-sama pulls my arm.

"Eh? I will go and ask why he is standing awkwardly somewhere like that. By the way, what is that person's name?"

"Eh? You are going to go and ask? Ah, Lo-, Lobelia-sama......is his name"

"Lobelia huh. Hmーm. Do you like his face? He is a good-looking guy huh"

"His face......ye-, yeah......"

Nee-sama, her face sure is bright red huh.

"Nee-sama, was Lobelia-dono at the previous dance party as well?"

"Yes. He was"

"Is that so. I will go over for a bit then"

I head over to where that guy is with Stellaria.

"That individual is Lobelia Krause-sama. I believe he is Duke Krause's oldest son. He is 2 years younger than me"

"Eh? 2 years younger than Stellaria means he's 20 years old huh. The oldest son of a Duke house? Why, is he unmarried at that age and somewhere like this?"

"It is something I heard from rumours, but it seems the Second Madam gave birth to the oldest son, Lobelia-sama, first, but he was sickly since he was young. It appears that the First Madam gave birth to the second son after that, so they decided to make him the successor"

"Then, it means he was excluded from the successorship with his health being the reason despite being the oldest son of a Duke house, and he's here because he's not finding success at marriage either......"

"Pretty much, that is what I heard"

"How unfortunate. I wonder what kind of sickness is 'sickly'?"

"Well, it'll be better to ask him directly if I don't get it after reading his heart. Let's go"

"Yes"

We slowly move closer. While probing his heart.

『Huh, Tsukuyomi-sama who was talking to Tsukikage-sama is coming over here. What do I do』

『Did he notice that I was only looking at Tsukikage-sama』

『I wonder if he'll tell me to stop looking because someone like me is inadequate for Tsukikage-sama』

Uーn. He somehow has quite the pessimistic and negative aura......what do I do.

It'll buff out! Time is of the essence as well after all, I'm just gonna ask him directly!

"Nice to meet you. I am Tsukuyomi"

"Ah! Erm. I-, I am, Lobelia Krause. It is my honour to be able to meet you"

"Lobelia-dono. Why are you standing somewhere like this by yourself?"

"Ah. N-, no, this is, uh, there is no particular reason......"

"Well then, my older sister, Tsukikage-nee-sama, is over there; how would you like to talk to her?"

"Eh? Me? Would it be alright for me to talk to her?"

"You are the oldest son of a Duke house, right?"

"Ye-, yes. As far as it goes, I am the oldest son, but I was not chosen to be the successor......"

"Please, do let me hear about that story as well. Let us go then"

I tried pulling him along half-forcefully. He looks somewhat unconfident in all kinds of ways though.

"Onee-sama. Over here, is Lobelia Krause-sama. It seems he is Duke House Krause's oldest son"

"Lobelia-dono. This here is my older sister, Tsukikage"

"I am Duke Freddy Krause's oldest son; my name is Lobelia Krause. I am pleased to make your acquaintance"

"I am aware. Lobelia-sama"

"Ah, yes. You are right huh. Tsukikage-sama"

"What. Both of you were acquainted?"

"Ah, yes. I have been in her care at the shrine......"

"Eh? At the shrine? Is your body unwell somewhere then?"

"Yes. I have been sickly since I was a child, and I have been visiting the shrine even now"

"That is how you got acquainted with Tsukikage-nee-sama huh"

"So, Onee-sama. What kind of illness does Lobelia-dono have?"

"It is a chest sickness. He finds it difficult to breathe, and it seems he coughs non-stop when the night comes"

"Hmm. So, what kind of treatment have you been performing?"

"Yes. I have been performing the treatment that suppresses chest inflammation. I have continued for many years after taking over from the predecessor, Chizuki-oba-sama, but it will not quite fully heal"

"Lobelia-dono, when did it start and what kind of symptoms are they?"

"Yes. If I am not wrong, it was from when I was around 2 years old, and when I fall asleep at night, my coughing becomes non-stop, I get breathless, and I can no longer go to sleep"

I use See-Through Vision on Lobelia's chest, primarily his bronchial tubes and lungs, and investigate every nook and cranny.

"Aah, I see. Your breathing makes wheezing sounds a short while after you fall asleep huh. And without knowing the reason, you visited the shrine since you were a child. You could not attend school to your fullest satisfaction either then huh"

"Why, do you know about it in such detail?"

"It is because I know Lobelia-dono's sickness well"

"Eh? Do you know about it?"

"Eeh, it is a sickness called bronchial asthma"

"Bronchial asthma? I-, is that treatable?"

"Eeh, it is treatable"

"I-, is that true!"

"Eeh, however, I cannot treat it right away. First, I have to take a look at Lobelia-dono's mansion"

"Is there something with my mansion?"

"The cause of your sickness should likely be there. We cannot treat your sickness unless we identify it"

"In the near future, I shall pay a visit with Tsukikage-nee-sama on her rest day. Then, Nee-sama. After this, please have a talk between the two of you, and decide when Nee-sama and I will pay a visit to the mansion beforehand"

"Also, in order to verify Lobelia-dono's condition today, please try dancing with him. Please tell me afterwards whether he got breathless"

"Eh? Ah, O-, Onii-sama!"

"I am counting on you. Lobelia-dono"

"Tsukuyomi-sama? You can know about the sickness through dancing?"

"Stellaria. There is no way I can, right!"

"My! Did you trick them?"

"If I don't go that far, neither of those two will be able to ask for a dance, right?"

"You might be right. But is what you said about the sickness true?"

"Eeh, my speciality on Earth is gynaecology, obstetrics, and respiratory. It's my forte, you know. I even know what will happen if he dances at a place like this"

"Stellaria. Assuming that Lobelia is excluded from being the successor. Would it be possible for him to leave the Duke house?"

"Yeah. I believe there is no problem with him leaving the house if they have decided to make the second son the successor. But if his sickness is treated, as expected, they might make the oldest son the successor"

"It will be difficult for him and Nee-sama to get married in that case huh. We have to get him enter the shrine in order to marry Nee-sama"

"For this, as I thought, we will not know unless we go Duke Krause's mansion huh"

After that, when we looked from afar, the two of them were intimately having fun talking, having a meal, and after that, dancing. They were dancing with a smile normally for the first song, but they ended up stopping halfway through the second song. I suppose, it's likely that his asthma attack started.

"As I thought, it's asthma"

They gave up on the dance halfway through, but the two of them sat at a corner of the hall and had fun talking until the end of the dance party. Looking at such a blissful-looking face of Nee-sama, there's no way I can not cheer her on, right!

A few days later, the day we will call on House Krause was decided.

It's the very day we will call on House Klause. Tsukikage-nee-sama has been restless since morning.

"Onii-sama, today, what are we going to Lobelia-sama's mansion for?"

"Nee-sama. It is for a diagnosis. First, we will look at the living environment of Lobelia-dono, and find the cause of his sickness"

"With that, we can treat Lobelia-sama's sickness?"

"We would likely be able treat it"

"Is that true!"

"More importantly, I want to ask Nee-sama beforehand; do you want to get married to Lobelia-dono?"

"Eh?"

"So?"

"Tha- that is......if possible......but I am a chief priest after all....."

"Yeah, yeah. You want to, right?"

"Eh? But......will I be able to?"

"Please leave it to me"

"Onii-sama......"

I rode the small ship with Tsukikage-nee-sama and flew to the Duke's territory's castle which is not in the Royal Capital with Stellaria's piloting. It is a territory that is closest to the Royal Capital since it is the Duke House, but it is massive. That castle was in the plains by the foot of a mountain.

"Why, welcome and thank you for coming. I am the head of this house, Duke Freddy Krause. This here is my wife, Lawren Hartmann Krause, her son, Andrea, and then my second wife, Hiley Klein Krause, and her son Lobelia, and daughter, Daisy"

"I am Tsukuyomi. Hello. Nice to meet you. Over here is my elder sister, Nemophila Royal Capital's shrine's chief priest, Tsukikage. As well as my chamberlain, Stellaria Neumann"

"I am Tsukikage. Nice to meet you"

"I am Stellaria Neumann"

"Erm. Hiley-sama. Is House Klein the same Margrave house my Oba-san, Shion Klein Nemophila, is from?"

"Yes. Shion is my sibling of a different mother. Thank you for always caring for her"

"I see. The other day, Shion-oba-sama conceived a boy through my guidance, and I have heard they will make him House Klein's successor?"

"Yes. It has been decided as such. I cannot thank you enough. Thank you"

"I see. Well, we are not here to talk about that today huh. We came to take a look at the house in regards to Lobelia-dono's sickness"

"Eeh, to think that I not only have you save my parental home, but care for my son as well......so, what should we show you about this castle?"

"Eeh, first, it will be Lobelia-dono's bedroom. Next, it will be the place he goes the most. Which would be the dining hall and saloon? After that, if there is a place he often visits when he is in this castle, I will also take a look at that"

"Yes. I suppose it would be my bedroom, the dining hall, the reception room, the saloon, and the barn then"

"Aah, barn huh......got it. We will start from the bedroom first"

That room was plenty spacious, and at first glance, it looked clean. When we opened the window, it was the back of the castle over there. There was a barn along the back of the castle over there, and it was the riding ground on the other side of that.

It was a mountain right in front of that. The mountain was bristling with what I imagine were cedar trees. Chickens were strutting about the barn.

"Got it. There is no need to look further"

I identified the cause of Lobelia-dono's sickness and informed everybody about it.
