It’s nothing more than a temporary sword, which was better than heading out alone empty-handed.
Whether or not you have that Shia sword was worth more than not using it.
[Is that so? Then, I’m glad.]
Shia smiled.
…
For a moment, I was pretty surprised. Her smile is so cute.
[Haruto? It’s almost time for dinner… Oh, Shia-chan, Chiyu-san, welcome back.]
Sharon came to call us.
[I’m home.]
[We’re back.]
Shia and Chiyu answered Sharon.
Chiyu-san, you didn’t say anything to me when you’re back, you know?
Gununu.
[Your timing is just right. The dinner is already prepared. Let’s go.]
With that said, Sharon, Shia, and Chiyu-san head to the dining room.
…I wonder why? I followed them while being strangely thrilled by Shia’s smile just now.
And at dinner.
The door of the dining room opened at the place when everything was ready and we were about to eat.
From the open door, the handsome blonde Leon comes in.
Behind him, there is Caroin.
[Leon! Did you wake up? Are you alright? I’m glad.]
[Haruto-san. And everyone. We apologize for the inconvenience this time. And thank you very much.]
Leon said that and he bowed deeply to everyone here.
[Don’t worry about what happened. I’m glad you’re safe now.]
[Well, that’s right, but thank you very much.]
Leon’s expression when he raised his face was quite refreshing and he seems to have broken away from his shackles.
[It’s good to wake up but it’s time for dinner. I cannot wait anymore…]
Laurier, who was more concerned about her appetite than hearing of Leon’s recovery, complained.
[Oh, that’s right. Let’s eat now before it gets cold. Here, Leon, let’s eat together. You may not have much appetite yet, but please eat.]
When I say that, the few people who looked hungry started eating the food.
Only some people were talking to Leon to celebrate his recovery.
[I guess so. I have a big appetite. Then, I’ll be in your kindness.]
Leon and Caroin took their seats and started eating their dinner.
[This Haruto always usually gave instructions that I couldn’t even imagine. No, that’s why you’re our husband.]
[Yeah, I definitely wanted to see it. Oh, but when he rushed to get rid of the bandits in this mansion before, it was dignified and cool, Haruto-kun.]
[Yes, Haruto-sama is always cool.]
When Laurier reminisced about our journey to Mount Pable, Rithina and Mina replied in nostalgia when I was exterminating the bandits.
Both of the protagonists of the conversation are me, and moreover it’s kinda embarrassing when they describe how cool or nice I am. Dehehe.
[Hohou, but isn’t that an exaggeration?]
[Always…It may have been too far.]
[Right? Wahahaha.]
Umm, wait… where’s the largest praise for me go?
[…And then, at that time, Haruto said, [No matter how much of a pinch situation a Hero is in, no matter how much he made his friends and his important person worried because of that, the Hero is always coming back to the people in the end, you know?].That! Moreover, it was really cool when he was fighting. I think Haruto, when he is serious, is really cool!]
[I was listening when he said that too. I felt much better when I heard it.]
[Ah, did Caroin-san hear it too? When I heard that story, it made me think about continuing to move forward.]
They were talking about the events of the night when I was talking with Sharon in the cave.
Yeah, the reason is so Caroin can listen to it too.
When I think about it again. I’m really glad I didn’t have to get laid with Sharon at that time.
[So, Haru-kun can do something like that, huh. It’s really cool only when Haru-kun is serious. I agree with that.]
[It’s true that when onii-san was serious, he looked dignified, but… I think the usual friendly onii-san is also nice]
[You said friendly or you’re only thinking about things like that, is that right?]
[Uu…that’s… you could say that.]
There are many topics about me.
Is it only when my appearance is serious that I’m cool?
Celes, who was the only angel, should’ve had to change direction because of Tanya’s extra comment, right?
Let’s make my will stronger.
[I am… I was impressed by Amagi-dono’s words that made Leon recover. [You’re a Hero of the people because everyone thinks of you as a Hero]. A hero is something that is recognized by others because of his actions.]
[That’s right. And even though I couldn’t give an answer no matter how much I was worried about it, when he was asked, [What worries you so much?], at that time, I forgot many of the good things and worried about something strange like that.]
[Yeah… I think that the strength of the heart of Amagi-dono is what attracts people around him.]
[Aura… You can call your husband “danna-sama” without needing to rephrase it because you’re in front of us.]
Over there, Leon was talking to Aura and Yunikram.
Stop it.
With that combination, I’ll just get praised meaninglessly and, since there’s no one to bring it down a notch and end it, this just feels unbearably embarrassing.
Hmm? Perhaps, do you expect me to make comments and punch lines? Hmm?
[Haruto-san, everyone loves you more than I expected.]
[That’s right. I’ll change my perception a little.]
Shia and Chiyu-san, who are not familiar with the gathering at this place, talk about it together.
I mean, it’s more than I expected though.
What kind of image did you guys look at me before?
…Or rather, while there’s chatting about me going on everywhere, putting aside Shia and Chiyu-san who haven’t become familiar with it yet, the person in question, me, is being left all alone, though… Just what’s going on here?
[…Nomnom.]
Ha.
Ouch.
There is one more person besides me.
Ercule was biting the bread at her own pace.
[Hey, Ercule. Is the food delicious?]
[I’m eating right now… so don’t talk to me… nomnomnom.]
Orz
I thought we’re on the same group so I felt sympathy and tried to help her, but she cut me off without hesitation.
So cruel…I’m sad…
It was a dinner that was lonely at the very end.
…No, it’s not the end yet!
At the end of the day, it will end in bed.
It’s a blessing that a day starts in bed and ends in bed.
After brushing my teeth after eating, I walked toward my bedroom.
Along the way, I remembered what happened recently.
The search for Mount Pable, which began with the letter from Yunikram, was hard.
I didn’t expect that I’m going to fight against the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King Army…
Although there were moments when I was confused with the birth of Leon, the plan of the church, and the plan of Baulova… However, for the time being, everything will be settled in time so let’s say it’s good now.
Perhaps because such hard events kept continuing, I was able to fully enjoy my daily life today.
…No, in a sense, the event that happened recently may have been the hardest.
Well, is it okay for me not to think about it, right?
I arrived at the bedroom while thinking about that.
When I opened the bedroom door, there were nine beautiful girls on a custom-made, oversized bed.
If I can express my wish, it would be great if one more person, Etna, joined us…
To think about Etna-san at this moment, something is still insufficient. What should I do?
Also, speaking of luxury, Shia and Chiyu-san…
Those two are from the Empire and Shia seems to be a Princess…
Is it a problem for me, who is married to Princess of Millis, to get married to her?
No, I should stop, it’s likely above my current self… I wonder if it’ll bring trouble to Rithina?
Gununu… It’s annoying.
Well, let’s stop to think of a woman who isn’t here right now.
[What happened to Haruto?]
Oops! It seems I was thinking about it deeply.
[No, everyone is very fascinating and charming.]
[Hahaha. Isn’t it? Everyone is Haruto’s bride, after all.]
All of them are my brides. Yes, they are all my brides. Fuhaha.
All of them were embarrassed when they heard Laurier’s words. Oh, it’s so cute.
With all of these brides, I wonder if I can properly make all of them happy?
For now, I haven’t heard any dissatisfaction, so I think it’s okay.
I must do my best to make everyone happy.
However, before that, I should become happy first.
Those who are not happy themselves cannot make others happy.
