“See you!” the rest of Little Lyric shouted.
The three members of Little Lyric who teleported away were heading to Chanmio. With them gone, it was just family left.
By the way, Tokita-san had been given over ten scrolls, so he could return on his own.
(And so, here we are, bidding farewell outside the Deles Arena under the night sky.)
The Avakane family lined up in neat rows.
I shouldn’t forget this last introduction.
“Ah, allow me to reintroduce her. This is Nare, the Eighth Wife.”
“I am Nare. I worked as a casino dealer until recently. It’s a pleasure to meet you all.”
She bowed deeply.
Wow, the presence of such large breasts!
My father-in-law, who had been in high spirits with a flushed face, immediately straightened up.
“That magic trick earlier was fun. If we ever have the time, we’d love to have you perform for our party as well.”
My mother-in-law also spoke with a rosy smile.
“Heh, you look like you’ll give birth to a healthy baby.”
“Mother-in-law!”
“Yes, I may be at the end of the line, but I will do my very best.”
“Deles, you have to try your best too!”
“Y-Yes! Deles, Ganbarimasu!”
This was something Ric Older Sister had taught me, and I still said it… Well, it’s fine. The phrase itself doesn’t cause any real harm, and I don’t find it detestable. It’s more like a type of greeting.
(Next is Illion Brother-in-law. His face is a little redder.)
He had regained his good health, right? Had he finally been allowed to drink alcohol again?
“I have no right to say this, but Deles, you saved my life. If there’s anything I can do, please consult me. By the way, you have eight wives, huh?”
“Illion Brother-in-law, you’re aiming for four if possible… Ah, that’s right!”
I shouldn’t say it’s an afterthought, but since they’ve gone to the trouble of coming, I have to introduce her.
“She’s not exactly from our group, but she’s within the territory of the Dwarf Country… my wife as a dwarf, or rather, an honorary dwarf. In any case, she’s my main wife in the Dwarf Country, I suppose. Meet Mariu!”
Mariu arrived with a big smile.
“I am Mariu, and I have become Deles’s wife.”
She bowed her head deeply.
The Avakane family bowed in return.
“She was a princess from the neighboring continent, wasn’t she? Please convey our regards to the Dwarf Country as well.”
“Yes, I thought it would be just once, but they keep sending things regularly. It’s almost embarrassing.”
“Deles, with nine wives, your nights must be quite busy. I’m getting worried for you.”
Well, yes.
I decided to keep quiet about the mistresses.
“Illion Brother-in-law, you need to work hard too, especially since your peerage is going to be elevated.”
“That’s right. In the future, it would be nice if we could arrange a marriage between Deles’s Count Palatine and our children.”
I see, that kind of connection could be made too. And since we’re not related by blood, there’s none of that worry.
“Deles, when are you coming next?”
“Harvey, I’ll be there for the theater’s grand opening, but the wedding ceremony can’t happen until I defeat Rust, one of the Seven Great Demon Lords.”
That much is decided. Then Nina stepped forward, and the concubines (including Mariu) lined up beside her.
“While we are now companions of the Avakane family, Deles is also being taken as the Count Palatine of the Mu Mu Empire. We will help each other if any trouble arises. Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, Brother-in-law Lord.”
Nina bowed, and everyone else followed… I should bow too. But why is Camilla so far in the back?!
“Hmm, tomorrow is Nina’s family’s home, isn’t it?”
“If you need us, we’ll visit anytime.”
“And the Mu Mu Empire too, right? We’re looking forward to that wedding ceremony as well.”
Nina produced a Teleport Scroll. Everyone gathered around it… including Baraka and his group, of course. Kaito and his attendant Beastmen were there too… and then Tokita-san appeared!
“Excuse me, Ric Older Sister wants to say a few last words.”
Frau Older Sister was here too.
“Deles… I’m sorry.”
“Deles, I’m sorry!”
Yeah, it didn’t resonate with me at all!
“Ric Older Sister, Frau Older Sister, but I… I… I am so happy right now! Look at my companions! So, I don’t care about you anymore, Ric Older Sister and the others! I’ve become such a happy Hero!!!”
Hearing those words, the expressions on Ric Older Sister’s and Frau Older Sister’s faces…
(Yes, the ‘Payback’ is complete!!!)
Then Nina held up the Teleport Scroll.
“…Is it too much for all of us? No, we just made it. Let’s go.”
We were quite a large group. I’ll be the one to finish this.
“Well then, see you again!!!”
And so, everyone returned to the Great Heavenly Tree Building 1.
Nina let out a large sigh of relief.
“Fuu, is this good, Deles?”
“Yes, I’m glad it ended without any problems!”
“Alright everyone, dismissed! Make sure to adjust to the time difference properly.”
Once things settled down, it would be time to visit Nina’s family home.
“Um, Nina, it’s morning here. When are we visiting the Mishuron Family?”
“If possible, this evening. However, if you’d prefer tomorrow…”
“No, if it’s like waking up and then going…”
“I see. Then, who will you sleep with?”
So sudden! And at that moment, my gaze fell upon…
“Camilla.”
“Huh? What is it?”
“I just had a thought. Camilla, aren’t you kind of like Ric?”
Camilla gave me a suspicious look.
“Are you saying I’m a wicked woman?”
“Well, you’ve been seducing me, trying to make a move on me, and then hesitating or not paying attention, planning for me to react that way?”
The tanned swordswoman tilted her head… Upon closer inspection, she was a strong and beautiful swordswoman.
“So, what are you saying?”
“You’re toying with me, knowing I wouldn’t make a move until the end, just like Ric?”
At this point, she finally made an “Ahhh” expression.
“Why do you think that?”
“Well, Camilla’s original goal was to protect the Princess Sisters… ”
“That doesn’t matter anymore!”
Camilla licked her lips.
“Then, what about now?”
“Shall we try it, Nina? Permission, please.”
“Ah, Camilla, if Deles is willing, I permit it.”
“In that case, right away. Deles’s room is fine, isn’t it?”
“Right now?!”
“You’re going to sleep now, right?”
“Well, yes.”
“This is the chance!”
Saying that, she forcibly dragged me towards the Magic Lift!
“Whoa, whoa!”
“I finally get to have my fill!”
“What a way to put it! That way of putting it!!”
“This is, in a sense, my ‘Payback’ to Ric too!!”
And so, in the SSS Room, I was thoroughly “devoured” by Camilla until the fear was etched into me.
(A new Lustful Berserker has been discovered!!)
And this was all happening before I had to go to my main wife’s family to pay my wedding respects…
