Chapter 93: Before the WeddingBecause Orsted said that Ariel's actions were not for now, life briefly returned to being peaceful....Eris moving in was very natural... naturally to a point that exceeded my imagination.I had originally thought that Eris would act willfully and do something, but my imaginings never came to pass. At least, a week has passed now, and nothing has happened.Is she holding back? Or has Eris changed?However, I also noticed something... Eris seems to be keeping a distance from me. I don't understand Eris's thoughts, but since we are living together, it probably doesn't mean she hates me, right...?Hmm... She and Roxy and Sylphie have gotten quite close now, and at night, the three of them sleep together. No one is with me anymore."That should be a good thing..."At night, they all have a girls' chat in one room, like right now. Actually, I'm quite curious about what they talk about..."Brother~""Hmm?"Aisha was holding a pillow, standing just like that at the doorway of my room.[1]By the way, what are people in this world supposed to do when they come of age? There has never been a standard.If it were my previous life, coming of age didn't seem to equal "needing to take responsibility," because coming of age didn't mean you would immediately enter society.What is society like in this world?Thinking back to my time as an Adventurer, I always feel that no matter what Aisha does, she will succeed...A truly exaggerated genius.I reached out and touched Aisha's cheek."It's enough for Aisha to just stay like this."After Aisha fell asleep, I got up from the bed and walked to the desk.I only read a little of the research notes last time. I'm a bit curious why, in the previous timeline, I used the language of this world to take notes.If it were me now, I would never use the language of this world. Did I have any partners from my previous life helping me with these experiments?I opened the notebook and looked at the content of the experiments.The content was very simple: use magic to turn it into threads invisible to the naked eye to invade others' brains. Yet, despite such a simple theory, the experimental notes were a thick volume.In the early stages of the experiments, criminals were used. Later on, perhaps because there weren't enough criminals, it started moving to slaves, demons, and beastfolk...In total, 1356 people died in the experiments I conducted in the previous timeline.It's very cruel, but even looking at it now, I don't feel there's a problem. At most, I would just sigh, "The me from the previous timeline really wasn't human."Other than that, I have no other thoughts.However..."Just looking at the experimental results is useless... I need to conduct the experiments myself..."The number of test subjects in the previous timeline was a full 1356 people. I don't know where they were all obtained from.Criminals... According to the Dragon God, my past self helped Ariel become queen, so the criminals probably came from her.Slaves... Did I have that much money? I probably stole it...Demons, beastfolk—these seem to be the easiest to get; just capturing them would be fine.However... Roxy-sensei is a demon, and Eris seems to have a high affinity for beastfolk, so it's better to start with criminals.It just so happens that I need to help Ariel, so this is a convenient matter.I closed the notebook and took out the other notebook that Orsted had given me.Calling it a notebook is less accurate than calling it a biography. It records the evaluation of the previous timeline's Rudeus by the Millis Holy Land.Looking through it, it's just about him being guilty of heinous crimes. I'm too lazy to read the detailed things, but the last sentence of the biography is:"A mage so powerful that he didn't seem human, yet in the end, he chose death because of his mother's rejection."Chose death, huh...The mother mentioned here is most likely Zenith, after all, Orsted said that in the previous timeline, she had been cured.I'm afraid that everything I did was exposed, and Zenith kept blaming me, after all, she is so kind..."Eh..."I put the notebook back on the bookshelf, locked it, and lay back down on the bed to sleep....The next morning, when I opened my eyes, Aishawas no longer by my side.Coming downstairs, Eris was in the kitchen tinkering with something. The two maids beside her were a bit flustered, and as soon as Eris heard my footsteps, she immediately turned her head."Rudeus...! I... I made breakfast... Do you want to try it?"Looking at the maids cleaning up the mess behind her, I felt like I broke out in a cold sweat.Does making breakfast require such a big commotion?"Of course, I want to try Eris's cooking too."Well... after all, it's just fried eggs and bacon. Even for Eris, with the maids' help, it shouldn't be difficult.Looking at the breakfast Eris brought over, I breathed a sigh of relief.I cut the bacon into small pieces and put them in my mouth. While chewing, I said:"Where are Roxy and Sylphie? Are they still sleeping?""Yeah! Today, Rudeus belongs to me!""Belongs to Eris? That's really assertive.""Does Rudeus not like me being like this...?"Eris's tone suddenly became somewhat... gentle? She seemed very afraid that I wouldn't like her current demeanor.But actually, Eris could be more confident, because Eris is truly beautiful now... The beauty of this body makes me quite obsessed, though I haven't really shown it much.Hmm... I should show it appropriately.Thinking this, I said:"How could that be? I like Eris, whether it's the willfulness from before or the gentleness now. And Eris is truly beautiful now; in every aspect, you attract me.""Mm... Mm! That's good! Uh... Ru... Rudeus is very handsome now too! Really! I also really like the current Rudeus!"Eris's shy appearance reminded me of her from the past.She really hasn't changed at all.While chatting and laughing, I noticed that Ghislaineseemed to be sparring with Aisha in the yard.After noticing my gaze, Eris said:"Aisha's swordsmanship is getting better and better; she can even hold her own against Ghislaine."Eris said it very seriously, which surprised me a bit.Is Aisha really that exaggerated now...?"Even though my swordsmanship can't be practiced at all...""Ah... um... Rudeus... um... everyone has their own areas of expertise! Rudeus's magic is the strongest I've ever seen!"Eris stammered to comfort me, and after noticing my somewhat teasing look, her face flushed red and she slapped the table."Rudeus! I thought you were actually sad...""I was just joking. I've always known that Aisha is a genius. I'm sorry for teasing Eris; is there anything you want me to compensate you with?"Upon hearing this, Eris's eyes seemed to widen quite a bit."Really? Anything?""Anything I can do.""I! I also want to give Rudeus that ring! A ring representing that Rudeus has me as a wife!"It seems Sylphie and Roxy talked to her about it. I was originally thinking of "casually" mentioning it when we went out for a walk and buying Eris a necklace then."Of course, let's go out after lunch? I actually wanted to buy Eris a necklace too; after all, Eris is too beautiful now, and I'm afraid someone might covet you.""Hmph! I only belong to Rudeus!"Eris is always able to openly express her love. Of course, Sylphie and Roxy are the same, but Eris's love seems even more passionate....At noon, I took Eris to have a ring and necklace custom-made.Along the way, it was like we had returned to our time as Adventurers, eating street food that might not have been that good, and discussing all sorts of things.Eris has grown up. In terms of her body, she has matured a lot, but her personality is still straightforward, though she has reined in her willfulness.No... she had already reined in her willfulness during our time as Adventurers, but at that time, my attention wasn't entirely on Eris, and I had overlooked her growth.On the way home, Eris held my hand, and from time to time, she would lift the golden necklace hanging around her neck up to the sunset, then ask me to lift my left hand and do the same action as her.My left hand only has the thumb without a ring; I feel like a real upstart.Turning my head to look at Eris, she was still smiling foolishly at the necklace.So cute...After arriving home, Aisha was actually still sparring with Ghislaine."I'm afraid you've already surpassed Paul, haven't you?""Not at all, Father has always been my goal.""So humble."Although saying that, the swords in their hands were swung more and more fiercely.Eris was watching from the side, itching to join in; at least, that's what her eyes suggested.She really loves the sword...I let go of Eris's hand."Why don't you go practice too? You look like you can't help yourself.""Is that okay?""Isn't that obvious? Does Eris think that after becoming my wife, you can't swing a sword anymore?""That's not it! Then I'm going, you have to watch me properly! Rudeus!""Of course"Really... she hasn't changed at all.
Chapter 94: Pre-marriage 2The days of sleeping separately from my fiancées are still continuing.To say I'm not lonely... well, I am a little bit, after all, I was used to it before.However, the relationship between Eris, Sylphie, and Roxy has truly improved a lot. Eris treats them both like older sisters and consults them on many things.My previous thought that Eris hadn't changed might have been wrong.She has changed somewhat; she has become more well-behaved than before... Hmm... that might be the wrong way to put it. Eris has always been well-behaved in front of me; it's just that before, she would show a fierce side when facing strangers.Strangers... my way of thinking is problematic. Now they are all my fiancées, so they are all family. Perhaps Eris really hasn't changed much? If she encountered a provocation from a stranger, would she still potentially slash them with her sword?At this moment, I am sitting on the living room sofa, watching Eris in the kitchen asking Sylphie and Roxyfor cooking advice.According to her, this is training for a wife."It's very lovely.""Yeah...""Brother, your expression right now is very gentle.""Hmm... huh? Aisha?"I don't know when it happened, but Aisha sat down next to me."What? Does my appearance bother you, Brother? A superfluous younger sister appearing in a house full of lovers~"Although I don't know why Aisha would say such a thing, I still patted her head."How could that be? Love for a younger sister is also love.""Am I also a lover?""A lover... certainly not, but I do indeed love Aisha.""Mmhmm~"Aisha leaned against my lap, and I ran my hand through her hair as usual.I often wonder what a normal sibling relationship should be like.Norn is clearly not as attached to me as Aisha is. I don't know if Aisha's 'liking' is crossing the line, or if Norn just doesn't like me as much.There won't be an answer to such a question. In my previous life, I didn't have any younger brothers or sisters, and the two younger sisters in this life have completely different personalities, so no matter how I compare them, I won't get a reasonable answer."Rudeus, it's time to eat!"Eris's energetic voice came from the kitchen."Coming."I'd better stop thinking about useless questions. Aisha likes me, that's good, and Norn's attitude toward me is fine too, so why dwell on it?On the dining table, two dishes made by Eris were placed in front of me.Eris's cooking skills can be said to be very poor, but through a month of guidance from Sylphie and Roxy, it has reached a point where it is edible.I picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and put it into my mouth.Eris looked at me with great anticipation, but it really wasn't that tasty.However..."It's delicious. Eris has improved again.""That's great!"Eris cheered and snatched the dish in front of me back."Wait a second..."Before I could finish my sentence, she ate it all in one bite.Watching her expression change, I realized I seemed to have messed something up."Rudeus! This doesn't taste good at all!""The point isn't whether it's delicious, but that you've improved, right?""Is that so?""Yes.""Ugh... but I want Rudeus to eat the food I make... the delicious kind..."Eris looked a bit dejected when she said this, which was very cute in my eyes."Don't worry. Eris just needs to learn slowly; as long as it's made by you, I will eat it.""I don't want that. I'll taste it myself first before giving it to Rudeus.""Mmhmm."Sylphie and Roxy watched our interaction with smiles. After the conversation ended, they brought out a few more dishes.As expected, they were prepared...After everyone finished eating, I tapped the table."Next, I have a very important matter to announce."After I said this, Eris, Sylphie, Roxy, and Aisha all sat back in their seats."Ahem... well, perhaps we should decide on the wedding date."After I finished, everyone was stunned.Hmm?Was this not something they had anticipated? Or do they see me as a scumbag who would keep dragging things out and wasting their feelings?Although I had said before that we would get married after Zenith was cured, now there is a general direction for the treatment.Not to mention the notes given by Orsted, the probability of my success should be very high."Rudeus!!!"Eris shouted and lunged at me.I was tackled, and Eris hugged me tightly."Rudy, I... I'll go check for a good day according to our Migurd Tribe later. If there isn't a good day in the near future, we'll use the human calendar... Ah... ah, no, we should choose a good day that aligns for humans, elves, and the Migurd Tribe..."Roxy stammered, her hands busy and flustered."Of course, if Rudy doesn't mind, tomorrow would be fine...""That's a bit too hasty. Teacher doesn't need to be that rushed... we still need to properly..."Before I could finish, Roxy also lunged up and snuggled against my chest."It's all Rudy's fault! For making us wait so long!""I'm sorry.""Don't apologize! I'm really happy."I really did keep them waiting for too long...I reached out and patted Roxy's head.Now, I was pinned down by two people, looking up at Sylphie, who was just smiling gently."Rudy.""Yeah! Come on! Sylphie, you can pile on too! I can take it!""What are you saying? Eris and Roxy, hurry up and get up."With one word from Sylphie, the two of them obediently got up.Wow... it seems that among my wives, Sylphie is the one with the presence of an older sister.Even though she seems to be the youngest..."Tomorrow, let's call Father Paul and Mother Lilia to discuss the wedding date, shall we? At least for tonight..."Sylphie said, giving Aisha a look. Aisha seemed to understand something and left the dining table."Rudy, don't you think there's something else we should do before getting married?""Hmm? Send letters to friends and family first?""That's not it."Sylphie looked at me with a playful smile and spoke somewhat teasingly."Rudy has done it with Eris before. If Eris hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known."I turned to look at Eris and found her blushing as she looked away."I previously always thought that Rudy was the type of person who wouldn't do that kind of thing without being married, but it seems that's not entirely true..."Roxy said this while reaching out and stroking my body.What is this feeling...It's as if I am prey right now..."Rudy, we're going to take a bath first.""Hmm... huh?""Go to the room and wait for us, Rudy~""What about me? Uh... don't I need to wash?""No~ we like the scent on Rudy's body."Sylphie said, resting her index finger on her chin with a seductive tone.Watching the three of them go to the bathroom holding hands, I walked toward the room, feeling somewhat dazed.Lying on the bed, I began to let my imagination run wild.Hmm... imagining is normal, right? Although I will immediately...But, well, after all, I had no experience in my previous life, and in this life, I only have experience from that one time with Eris.So it's normal for me to be nervous now, right?!While thinking this, I heard the sound of the room door being pushed open.The three of them were wearing pajamas.Are these pajamas? They are somewhat transparent, and I can vaguely see something...Are these pajamas?! Does this world actually have this kind of clothing?"Rudy, it's not good to stare."Sylphie said, holding Eris and Roxy's hands as she walked toward me.They sat on my left and right, Roxy and Erisattacking me from both sides, while Sylphie stroked me from behind.From behind, she slowly stroked me. Because they had just finished bathing, a scent—I couldn't tell if it was their natural fragrance or perfume—wafted into my nostrils."Rudy, relax."Roxy said, stripping the clothes off my body one by one until I was completely bare."Wait... wait a second... I think this kind of thing... maybe we should take it slow, like, we could chat about the past, drink some wine to set the mood, or something..."Although I said that with my mouth, I was already reacting.After all, for so many years, I hadn't made a move on anyone, I..."Rudy, keep talking."Roxy said, her hands not stopping their movements."So... I think...""I didn't expect Rudy to have such a cute side."Roxy said, and kissed it.Is it like this?Is it really normal to be this skilled?!Where did they learn this kind of knowledge?"It's all Rudy's fault for making us wait so long, even though you know what we want.""Is... is there... any wine or something..."I slightly opened my mouth to say something, but Eris directly covered it with her mouth.Inside my mouth, Eris's affection, which I hadn't seen for years, was stirring intensely."Rudy, we don't need a dazed you. Look at us properly right now, okay?"Sylphie said, reaching out to stroke my cheek.Gradually, I lost my reason.Not that I lost the ability to think.It's just that my body felt numb to an unbelievable degree."Rudy, are you ready?"And so, a night of entanglement began.
Chapter 95: Before the Wedding 3Opening my eyes again, the sky was already about to brighten.For me, this might have been a bit too stimulating... or perhaps I should say, I might not have the confidence to satisfy all three of my beloved wives at once.But it seemed that aside from Eris, Sylphie and Roxywere already exhausted by the second half.Putting it that way... am I actually pretty vigorous?Turning my head to look at my sleeping wives, I smiled, feeling very fortunate that I had bought such a large bed.To be accurate, it was actually Aisha who bought it for me.I put on my shorts, intending to leave the room to use the bathroom."Rudeus."Just as I stepped out of the room, I was startled.A familiar voice came from behind me.I turned my head to look; it was Ghislaine..."Uh... what are you doing?"This sense of déjà vu...I remember my first time with Eris several years ago was also like this; leaving the room near dawn and running into Ghislaine.Hmm? Last night... I don't think I cast Silent Magic?Well... Aisha is very sensible, and Ghislaineprobably wouldn't have any interest in such things... uh..."How was it?"Ghislaine's voice pulled my thoughts back to reality once again."Huh? How was what?""The night with your wives.""Ghislaine, I don't really want to discuss this with you..."How should I put it? In my mind, the somewhat dense Ghislaine shouldn't be discussing these topics with me...Hmm?Ghislaine was at the door of my room; she had called out to me as soon as I came out.And in my memory, I hadn't cast any Silent Magic on the room last night."Ghislaine... you didn't listen for the whole night, did you?!"Hearing my question, Ghislaine tilted her head and said,"I'm not that bored, but I did hear some things last night.""You need to forget that immediately...""Yes, I certainly wish you all well, and even if I heard it, I wouldn't think much of it. Now, back to business; I came to find you because I have something important to discuss."Ghislaine's business?I pondered for a moment and immediately guessed what she wanted to say."Rudeus, come help me kill Darius. I need you."As expected.After all, even if Eris's grandfather wasn't killed by Darius, he was the one ostensibly responsible, and the probability that Darius was the culprit was very high.Ghislaine is someone who repays kindness; she must still be regretting not listening to me back then and staying close to Sauros.Hmm... My next goal is to help Ariel ascend to the throne, and since Darius is a supporter of the prince, eliminating him is necessary. It would be fine if he were just a foolish noble, but that Water God..."I will help you. My next goal is also to eliminate Darius."I should agree for now; after all, regardless of the circumstances, this is something that needs to be done."Thank you, Rudeus."Watching Ghislaine's tail wagging and her eyes filled with passion, I couldn't help but feel that something was off.Out of my understanding of Ghislaine, I asked,"Let me just ask, what do you plan to do?""Of course, I'll take you with me, storm in front of Darius, and the two of us will be enough. We'll cover our faces, kill him, and run.""This... is truly simple and crude, but how are we going to escape?""Didn't you say that you could cast magic to freeze the entire city?""There will be many innocent victims, you know?""It doesn't matter."Although I know that Ghislaine, like me, isn't the type to care about people unrelated to her, thinking about her usual ditzy demeanor, it still felt like quite a contrast.I coughed and said to Ghislaine,"Don't be so hasty. That Darius holds a high and powerful position; in the shadows, he practically controls the prince. Do you really think someone like him wouldn't have powerful people backing him up?""Hmm...""In any case, for now, stay at my house. Orsted has told me the approximate time for the operation; I might start taking action within half a year. Revenge is certain, but it will take some time."Ghislaine nodded and agreed.She is very similar to Eris; she knows she isn't smart, so when facing someone she trusts, she always unconditionally believes in their wisdom."However, I won't stay at your house. After all, you are about to get married, and nights like this won't be stopping for at least the next few days.""Stop, stop, stop. I don't want to hear you say these things."Though... will it really not stop for the next few days?Three people...?"I'll find an inn to stay at."Ghislaine said, turning around to leave.Before leaving, she suddenly stopped as if she had thought of something."Rudeus... uh...""What's wrong? Stuttering doesn't sound like you.""You... you had better pay some attention to your sister... uh... she's somewhat lacking in love?""Huh? You mean Aisha?""How should I put it... never mind. Just treat her as you usually do."Ending this somewhat baffling conversation, I went to the bathroom and returned to the room.As soon as I crawled under the covers, Eris hugged me.She seemed to be awake, whispering in my ear."Rudeus, I still want more..."After saying that, Eris, like a little kitten, gently licked my ear."You'll wake up Sylphie and Roxy.""Tonight, just you and me, okay?""These kinds of things should be discussed togeth..."Before I could finish my sentence, my mouth was blocked by Eris.Her tongue swirled inside my mouth for quite a while. After the kiss ended, she panted and whispered,"We already discussed it. Last night was only because it was the first time, which is why we were all together. Tonight, you belong to me.""Alright, I will do my best to satisfy Eris.""Rudeus was already amazing last night; I am very happy right now. I hope days like this can continue forever.""They will.""So, Rudeus..."As Eris spoke, she reached out and began to wander over my body again, but perhaps she was truly afraid of waking Sylphie and Roxy, as she restrained herself quite a bit.Well, actually, she didn't restrain herself much at all. If I hadn't held Eris, she absolutely would have touched places she shouldn't have touched again."Rudeus, are you guarding against me?""How could that be?""Hmm~ Then don't hold me so tightly. I just want to touch you; is that not allowed?"Upon hearing this, I naturally loosened my grip.Since my own wife said so...Just as Eris was preparing to get handsy again, Roxygrabbed one of my arms and used it as a body pillow.She was like a baby, muttering something in her mouth while resting on my arm.It's hard to imagine that this Roxy displayed such superb technique last night.Out of curiosity, I had even asked Roxy where she learned those techniques.Although I was very afraid that Roxy would say something like "It's all from actual combat," I inexplicably felt that it definitely wouldn't be like that.Of course, the answer I received didn't make me sad.According to what Roxy said, it was passed down by that blonde elf in Paul's party.I didn't expect that elf, who looked quite serious, to be so experienced."Rudy~ Why are you awake?"Sylphie's voice gently drifted into my ears.I touched the tip of Sylphie's ear."I'm not, I'm going back to sleep now.""Mm~"Sylphie didn't open her eyes either and proceeded to fall back asleep.Eris and I smiled at each other and she stopped wandering her hands all over my body.At this moment, I am enjoying a warm morning with my wives.
Chapter 96: Before the Wedding 4" Oh, so you're really getting married. "Inside the Laboratory, the three of us—Aisha, Nanahoshi, and I—were standing together.Nanahoshi held the invitation I had given her, looking me up and down.How should I put it?For her, this feeling must be quite subtle, right?As someone who also possesses the moral values of Earth, Nanahoshi must find it strange, yet I am so at ease with it." Will you come? "" Isn't that a given? My close friend is getting married, how could I not go? "Nanahoshi put the invitation into her pocket, which made me heave a sigh of relief.I thought it over, and Nanahoshi is the only person I can call a friend; if she didn't come, I would be a bit pitiful." So, do your three wives have any complaints or anything like that? "" No... I don't think so? At least they haven't said anything in front of me. "" Hmm, fine. I'll go when the time comes. By the way, are you going to invite Orsted? "Invite him?I'm afraid that no one would dare to laugh at my wedding. A wedding held in fear...?I waved my hand and said," Well... if it weren't for the curse, I would really like to invite him, but after all... "Before I could finish my sentence, Aisha, who was beside me, shuddered.I turned my head to look, and it was Orsted.He looked at me, the corners of his mouth curling slightly." Rudeus, I am very happy to hear you say that. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. If this curse ever disappears one day, I wouldn't mind joining you all for a so-called 'party'. "" Uh... when did you arrive? "" Just now. "I looked at the Teleportation Circle behind Orstedand immediately understood.These past few weeks, I've been seeing Orsted in the Laboratory from time to time; has this become his base of operations from now on?" Good afternoon, Lord Orsted. "" Good afternoon, Aisha. "I don't know when it started, but the relationship between Aisha and Orsted has become quite good.At least that's how it seems to me. Aisha isn't really afraid of him; that shudder just now was merely due to the instinct caused by the curse.Now, Aisha asks Orsted questions from time to time.Of course, they are all about swordsmanship; after all, she can ask me about magic... well, okay, she might have asked Orsted about magic too, because he seems to be very proficient in that as well." So, did you come here this time because you have something to tell me? " I asked." No, I just promised Aisha last time that I would teach her the Water God Style swordsmanship. "Orsted said this and looked at me." I know the secrets of the Water God Style. Do you want to try it? "The... secret technique of the Water God...Doesn't that mean that if I can figure out how to counter it, the probability of defeating her will increase significantly?" Okay. "" Follow me. "Aisha and I followed Orsted into the Teleportation Circle and arrived at a very vast plain.Orsted walked fifty steps forward, stopped, and said," Alright, it has already begun. I am using a hand blade. "I furrowed my brow. It has already begun?From my perspective, he was just standing there, without any feeling of a [secret technique].Hmm... in any case, closing the distance must be a mistake.Just as I was thinking this, I subconsciously wanted to raise the arrogant water dragon king to cast Ice Magic, but with just a movement of my knuckles, I felt as if I had been torn to pieces.When I came to my senses, I was still standing there, perfectly fine.What... is this...?An illusion? Could there be such magic?It's an illusion, it must be... Thinking this, I gathered my courage and raised the arrogant water dragon king.But the next second, my hand felt as if it had been severed, my legs were also cut off, and all I could see was the world spinning.What is this...? Was my head cut off?" Whew... "When I came to my senses, I was standing in the same spot, unharmed.Instinct made me take deep breaths continuously.At this moment, Orsted was also slowly walking toward us." If that had been a real battle, you would already be dead. "" I understand... "I turned to look at Aisha; her expression was just as unsightly. It seems she was also quite frightened." This secret technique is a combination of the Water God Style secrets, and it is also the original secret technique of the current Water God, Reida. As long as you step into her domain, regardless of whether the opponent is in front, behind, left, right, above, below, or anywhere within 360 degrees in all directions, she can attack and kill the opponent from any posture. As soon as the enemy moves, she can react to that action and completely cut everything down. "As I listened, I felt that my own expression must be very ugly right now.This...I cannot imagine the possibility of winning; I'm afraid many of the plans I had envisioned will have to be overturned." How is it? Do you think you can win? "" I'll ask just in case, is the range the same as the one you demonstrated? "" That was about the limit distance. "" Then I probably don't have much chance of winning. "" Rudeus. "" Hmm? "" How is your research on the notes I gave you? It stands to reason that you should be able to understand them very quickly, after all, it is magic you invented. "" Well, it's still in the experimental stage; I haven't used it on anyone yet. "Hearing this, Orsted didn't seem that surprised.He nodded and said," Invading the brain also means altering perception, which is very fatal for a swordsman. "" Do you mean... "" That's right, that magic can be effective against Reida. In the previous timeline, I also fell for it the first time, let alone her. "Orsted smiled, which was a bit creepy." In the previous timeline, I didn't know what means you used to make her submit to you, but now it seems highly likely that it was Hitogami's arrangement. "In any case, there is no way to bypass Darius and this Water God.In the end, it must be a showdown with them, but if the Water God really has the strength that Orstedjust demonstrated...I only have a superficial understanding of the magic in that notebook right now and am not proficient in it.I must master it completely before taking action, for the sake of the operation and for Zenith.Taking a deep breath, I said," Will you help me? Reida is so strong that even if I force Darius into a corner, she could still use absolute violence to make us concede. Although there might be a chance of winning if I use that magic, but... "" I will help you, and I know when the enemies will appear along the way. The biography of Ariel from the previous timeline records the obstacles she encountered on her path to the throne. "After saying this, Orsted took out a scroll and burned it in front of me." This scroll can only be used once. If you feel you have no other options, activate this magic, and I will come to kill Reida. Of course, I believe you shouldn't need to use this. "Feeling the slightly strange presence in my mind, I nodded, understanding what he meant.For the rest of the time, Orsted actually started teaching Aisha the Water God Styleswordsmanship.Maybe it was because Aisha is truly a genius that Orsted has developed an appreciation for her talent; after all, the reason he is having Ariel ascend the throne is for the sake of future talents.After teleporting back to the Laboratory and finishing infusing Nanahoshi with mana, Aisha and I headed toward home." Brother~ I'm so tired~ "Aisha said this and was about to climb onto my back." Do you know that you are already an adult? "Although I said that, I still carried Aisha on my back." Just because I'm an adult doesn't mean I'm not Brother's little sister anymore, right? "" Of course you are still my little sister. "" That's all that matters. It's normal for siblings to take a bath together, right? "Aisha stopped pinching my cheeks and instead started pounding on my back with some annoyance, which also made me start to reflect.It seems I have been neglecting Aisha quite a bit recently...After all, the wedding is imminent; during the day, I do experiments with Nanahoshi in the Laboratory, sometimes chat with Orsted about future plans, and at night, I spend tender moments with my wives.I might have... really neglected Aisha. It's fine that Norn isn't in this house, but the sense of loss for Aisha must be huge, and it might even lead her to start hating her sisters-in-law...Such a thing must never happen! Disharmony in the family or anything like that, I absolutely will not allow it!" Alright, then let's take a bath together tonight. "" Yay! "Aisha was squirming restlessly on my back.Hmm...You've grown up, Aisha..." What are you thinking about, Brother? "Aisha leaned her head forward, and her wine-red long hair draped over my eyes, blocking my view." I was thinking about how fast you've grown up, Aisha. I hadn't noticed it before; it feels like you suddenly grew this big. It's quite moving. "" Tsk, doesn't that just mean Brother doesn't really care about me in daily life! "" Don't click your tongue, where did you learn that? "" None of your business, Brother~ By the way, Brother, do you like long hair or short hair? "" Long hair. "I answered this question without hesitation.After all, my three wives all have long hair; I couldn't very well say I like short hair, could I?Besides, I really do like long hair." Hmm~ Is my hair long enough? Do you like it, Brother? "Aisha said, smoothing her hair with her hand." I like it. Aisha, haven't you noticed that every time we sit together, I subconsciously reach out to touch your hair? "" Indeed! "Aisha, on my back, hugged me tightly in excitement, somewhat inexplicably." Then, Brother, do you like my hair left down like this, or tied in a ponytail? "" Hmm... just like this. "" Okay~ "No matter if Aisha has grown up, in front of me, she is still that innocent and lively person.
Chapter 97: Before the Wedding 5"So? You knocked on my door in the middle of the night and dragged me out just to come to a tavern to drink?"Nanahoshi sat across from me, snapped her fingers to order drinks and skewers, and then spoke."There have been a lot of good things happening lately, haven't there? As your best friend, what's wrong with coming out for a drink with me?""Having a drink with a good friend is fine, of course, but coming over in the middle of the night isn't great. After all, I'm a married man now.""Oh ho~ Was that red-haired girl behind you just now Eris?""Yeah.""She's really beautiful, though she looks a bit fierce.""If you hadn't come in the middle of the night, Erisprobably wouldn't have had that expression on her face."Nanahoshi squinted, rested her chin on her hand, and smiled."I really don't know why they like you so much.""Hmm? I'm actually quite confident, though I don't even know what my own strengths are."Nanahoshi shook her head and changed the subject."Do you want to guess why I asked you out for a drink?"It was very easy to guess things regarding Nanahoshi, or rather, there was no need to guess at all.I smiled and said,"There's progress on the Teleportation Circle, right?""Yes! With the help of your sister, I successfully teleported something from Earth.""Oh?"Hearing this, I became curious too.Could it really be possible to travel back? Or could it only teleport items from Earth?"What was it?""A plastic bottle and a soda can.""That's huge progress…"While we were talking, the owner brought our order to the table.Nanahoshi didn't care about her appearance at all as she picked up her drink and downed it in one gulp. After letting out a sigh like an old man, she immediately popped a skewer into her mouth.I took a sip of my drink, finding it somewhat amusing.Just as I was about to reach for a skewer, I noticed Nanahoshi looking at me with a bit of disdain."What's wrong?" I asked, picking up a skewer."Rudeus, can't you drink a bit more boldly?""I don't want to be told by a high schooler that I don't drink boldly enough."Nanahoshi slammed her wooden mug onto the table with the demeanor of an old man."Actually, it's just my body that hasn't changed. My actual age… hmm…? I forgot.""A body that doesn't grow, huh… Maybe that's not bad."Hearing me say that, Nanahoshi's expression became somewhat amusing.I couldn't tell if she was mocking herself or laughing at me as she spoke."Although I won't age, this body is too frail. This frailty feels like malice from this world towards an outsider."As she spoke, she raised her right hand, wearing all sorts of rings, and there was a necklace around her neck."Orsted discovered my unusual frailty and gave me these magic items to help me ward off illness, otherwise I would have died from a minor cold long ago."After saying this, she had already finished her second drink."So, with such a weak body, you still drag me out to drink every day?""Being drunk doesn't count as an illness. Orsteddidn't say anything after finding out, so it should be fine, right?"I ate the skewer in my hand and took a sip of the drink in my cup."I hope so.""Ah! Don't change the subject, Rudeus. You haven't even finished your first drink yet.""I'm getting married the day after tomorrow, so it's not good to get too drunk. Besides, if I get drunk, who's going to carry you home later?"Hearing this, Nanahoshi thought for a moment, then coughed to clear her throat.Just as I was wondering what she wanted to say, she spoke, and her words surprised me.It was in broken Chinese."'A person lives for a lifetime, just as plants live for an autumn,' don't be so constrained, right?"After she finished, Nanahoshi stood up and patted me on the back.I was stunned for a long time, muttering the words Nanahoshi had just said."'A person lives for a lifetime, just as plants live for an autumn,' huh…? Heh, I suppose so…""Oh, oh! It sounds completely different when you say it!""Of course it sounds different when it's standard. Do you want me to teach you?""Yes! I really like this phrase, so I learned it specifically when I was in school, but I never knew if my pronunciation was standard or not."Drinking, eating skewers, and occasionally teaching Nanahoshi some idioms she might be interested in.Our drinking session passed in this atmosphere....A few times I was about to get completely drunk, but fortunately, I kept a shred of sanity and cast detoxification magic on myself.Looking at the passed-out Nanahoshi beside me, I shook my head.I paid the bill, hoisted Nanahoshi onto my back, and walked towards my house.Every time I carry Nanahoshi like this, I feel like both she and I are people abandoned by this world, but in reality, only Nanahoshi is the one who was abandoned.I have a lover, I have a family, the people around me cherish me, but Nanahoshi…Perhaps out of pity, or perhaps because she is my only friend, I always comply with Nanahoshi's requests. I hope she can be happy, I hope she can return to Earth, and I hope this innocent girl can truly find peace of mind."Rudeus…"The drunken Nanahoshi murmured softly."Hmm?""If… if in the end I can't go back…"Nanahoshi suddenly stopped talking, instead wrapping her arms around my neck and resting her head on my shoulder."If I really can't go back… I hope I die before you…"I stopped in my tracks, momentarily stunned.What kind of mindset was she in when she said that?The experiment is progressing smoothly, isn't it? Why would she say that?Not knowing how to respond, I chose to remain silent.I don't want Nanahoshi to be so pessimistic. Maybe she only said it because she was drunk, but I just don't want her to have thoughts like that.And Nanahoshi, as if knowing what I was thinking, added,"It's not some pessimistic thought… I just don't want you to die before me… That's all…"My lips moved, and after thinking for a while, I made a sound."I will stay with you."Although it was a bit irresponsible, I said it anyway.Just to put her mind at ease, that's all.The things Nanahoshi said… it's because she's afraid of loneliness, right?At least that's how I understood it."Hmm…"She seemed to be truly at ease; I could feel Nanahoshi relaxing quite a bit behind me.When I started walking again, Nanahoshi spoke once more."Rudeus… You are the only friend in this world I can truly open my heart to. Even in my previous life, I didn't have a friend as good as you. I'm really grateful to you…""Me too. I'm very lucky to have met you in this world. Although I complain about your drinking every time, I'm actually always very relaxed whenever I come out for a drink with you.""Hahaha, I knew you were just pretending to be reluctant every time. I'm afraid you won't be able to just go out for a drink whenever you want after you get married, right?""My status at home is high. I can come out whenever I want.""I hope so."After the conversation ended, Nanahoshi was quiet for a while.I didn't know if she had fallen asleep or what, so I just walked quietly.Just as we were about to reach home, Nanahoshi pinched my cheek."Look at the sky."Hearing this, I looked up.The stars filled the sky; I had already become somewhat accustomed to them in this world."How come I didn't notice before? The starry sky in this world is truly beautiful…" Nanahoshi murmured."I thought the same thing when I first saw it."Nanahoshi raised her hand, reaching out towards the starry sky."Where I used to live, unless you were in the countryside, you couldn't see many stars, let alone something like… the Milky Way.""Yeah, same where I used to live."Nanahoshi smiled."Perhaps coming to this world isn't all bad. At least it let me see a starry sky like this, and I also got to know you."
Chapter 98: WeddingWeddingAlthough we had talked about holding a grand wedding, Eris said,'Mom and Dad aren't here anymore, so we don't need anything like that.'So, our wedding wasn't very luxurious; it just started quietly on a suitable day.My three wives and I stood together in the middle of the church.We listened to the vows recited by a priest named Cliff, and amidst the witness of friends and family, we embraced and kissed.When the priest announced that the ceremony was successfully completed, Roxy and Sylphie both cried. It seems the waiting during that period was quite agonizing for them.As for Eris... she hugged me a bit too hard...There were more people attending the wedding banquet than I had imagined.In the hall, although there were many people, they were all faces I could recognize.Family goes without saying. What surprised me was that Ariel and Luke Notos Greyrat also came, seemingly at Norn's invitation.By the way, the priest from earlier also came at Norn's invitation; apparently, they met at the Millischurch.Ariel and Luke Notos Greyrat walked up to me, holding wine glasses.'Rudeus, happy wedding.'Seeing this, I recalled the etiquette between nobles and performed a slightly clumsy bow before speaking.'Thank you for coming.'Ariel smiled and raised her glass.'Rudeus, I came to attend your wedding as a student and a friend of Norn, so don't be so formal.''Then I shall comply.'After speaking, I raised my glass to clink with hers, and drank it all in one gulp.After they left, I turned to look at Norn.She was chatting with Aisha about something...How was Norn connected to Ariel...?Thinking it over, I couldn't come up with an answer, so I stopped thinking about it. On such a happy day, I'd better forget about these trivial things.'Oh oh oh! Come on! One drink, one down!'Talhand shouted at the wine table, and sitting opposite him was... Nanahoshi.'Old man, you have to be able to drink better than Rudeus, otherwise it's no fun.''Hahahaha, don't compare me to the kid!'Nanahoshi is really... she's a complete drunkard now. It's hard to imagine that she was the sad person from the day before yesterday.However, it's surprising that Talhand actually came.I scanned the room and, sure enough, saw the monkey-faced old man, Elinalise, and Ghislaine.They were sitting together with Paul Greyrat, drinking and catching up.'Hello, Rudeus.'A voice came, and I turned to look.It was the priest who had just recited the vows for us.'Hello... it's Cliff, right?''Yes, happy wedding, Rudeus. Although I am a follower of Millis, I will still offer my sincere blessings.''Thank you.''Er... so, Rudeus.''Hmm?''That blonde woman sitting over there... is she someone you know?'Blonde?Ariel?He must know Ariel.Then it can only be...Elinalise.'That woman's name is Elinalise. I'm not very close with her either.''Elinalise... what a beautiful name...''Want to meet her? I don't mind spreading some joy at the wedding.''Of course! Thank you, Rudeus!'Although I remember that Elinalise is a bit promiscuous...I led Cliff to the table where Elinalise was and introduced him.Paul Greyrat and the others didn't mind and accepted Cliff generously.'Elinalise, Cliff came here to meet you.'I said that and left the table.Just as I left,'Rudeus!'Eris shouted, shifting my attention again.She was holding the hand of a blue-haired woman and walked up to me.'Rudeus, this is Nina, a friend I made while training at the Holy Land of Swords! Nina, this is my husband Rudeus. Handsome, right?'Eris said with her hands on her hips, looking quite proud.I took a look at the blue-haired girl, didn't stare too much, smiled and said,'Hello, thank you for taking care of Eris during those years. I've heard Eris mention you often.'Nina on the other side didn't hide her inspection of me, then nodded.'Hmm... you're not as handsome as Eris said, are you?''Eris has a pretty strong filter for me.''Hahaha, I'm just kidding. You look very handsome today, the star of the show~'As she spoke, she looked at Eris, and seeing Eris's expression was a bit off, she immediately took her hand.'Of course, Eris, you look beautiful too.''Nina!'Eris hugged her directly, completely disregarding that the wedding dress she was wearing was a valuable item that tears easily.But I didn't intend to remind her. After all, although a wedding dress is precious, in the end, it's just clothing to be worn at the wedding.'Rudeus, Nina and I are going over there!''Mm.'Eris dragged Nina off somewhere in the hall.With a wry smile, I looked towards Sylphie and Roxy.They were chatting about something with Aisha, Norn, and the cat-dog duo who came to the wedding with Aisha, occasionally taking a drink.Not wanting to disturb their girls' party, I walked over to Lilia.She was supporting Zenith, sitting at the table in the middle of the hall.'Mother Lilia, Mother.'Lilia smiled at me.'Young Master Rudeus, happy wedding.'I nodded, stepped forward to hug Lilia, and then gently hugged Zenith as well.After I hugged Zenith, she also raised her hand and patted my back very lightly.'Are you angry? Or are you blessing me?'I smiled and kissed Zenith on the forehead.Then I watched Zenith withdraw her hand, as if pushing me, she gently pushed me away.Then, she didn't make any more moves.'Big Sister probably wants you to enjoy the moment, Young Master Rudeus.''Mm, I understand.'Leaving my mothers' side, I went to the wine table.'Oh oh oh oh!! The star of the show is here!'Nanahoshi shouted, and Talhand had already been drunk under the table by her.'Nanahoshi, although I usually can't drink as well as you, today, I have no reservations.''Hm? You usually have reservations?''After all, my wives are all here today, so I can get as drunk as I want.''Then bring it on!'My drinking contest with Nanahoshi, I don't know when it started, but everyone gathered around.The one pouring wine for me was Roxy, and the one feeding me was Sylphie.Later, Eris and Nina also joined the drinking party. When Geese and Paul Greyrat saw how lively it was, they naturally joined in....In short, I blacked out.When I opened my eyes again, I was lying with my wives.But nothing happened, after all, having drunk that much, even if I wanted to, I couldn't.'Mm~ Rudeus, you're awake?'As soon as I opened my eyes, Roxy's cute voice entered my ears.For some reason, I felt very tired, maybe I still hadn't sobered up.But like an instinct, I buried my head in Roxy's chest.'Rudeus, really, you're so big and still love to act spoiled.'Roxy said, gently stroking my head.This feeling was like returning to the past, returning to when I was a child.Returning to the time when Roxy was still my teacher...'Rudeus...'In the quiet and warm atmosphere, my face was gently patted by Eris's hand as she turned over.Her sleeping posture is still so bad...'Roxy...''Hmm?''After I finish my business, take me to see your parents, okay?''Okay, but Rudeus probably won't be used to the environment there.''It's fine, the Demon Continent is actually okay. Thinking that it's Roxy's hometown, I feel quite fond of it.''Rudeus is definitely drunk~ talking nonsense already.''Mmhmm...'I turned my head to look at Sylphie, her sleeping face was very cute.Unlike Eris, Sylphie's sleeping posture was very well-behaved and quiet.Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, I felt a bit sad.Sylphie has no friends... this time at the wedding, Sylphie didn't invite anyone.Is this really okay... even Roxy invited her teacher and several friends who are teachers.During the wedding too, Sylphie was intentionally or unintentionally covering her long green hair...'Roxy.''What's wrong?''I want to make this world stop discriminating against green hair.''That's difficult.''Mm, but I will try.'Roxy smiled and held my face to kiss me.'Ugh... it's all the taste of alcohol.''Sorry.''But I like it, because it's mixed with Rudeus's scent, right?'We looked at each other and smiled. The atmosphere at this moment made me feel at ease and warm.'Ah~ ah~ being Rudeus's wife is really happy~'Beside me, Sylphie's lazy voice entered my ears.I turned my head to look and said,'You're awake?''Mm~ Rudeus wants to change the world's view on green hair for me~ I heard it all~''It's just correcting the mistakes of people in this world, because green hair doesn't represent a curse. Sylphie, to me, you are a blessing.''Rudeus is the same to me.'I didn't know what to say next, and I didn't think about what to say.I kissed Sylphie on the forehead, and also kissed Roxy on the forehead.Looking at the sleeping Eris, I didn't want to disturb her, and just as I was about to lie back down,Suddenly, Eris frowned and opened her eyes.'Rudeus, why didn't you kiss me?''Er... I thought you were asleep, I didn't want to disturb you.''Even if I'm asleep, you should kiss me!'Eris said, getting up and forcefully holding my face... and kissed me.All three wives were awake, but at this moment, we didn't have any thoughts of doing those things.We chatted about daily trifles, talked about our hopes for the future.Until we became drowsy again, and fell asleep in each other's arms.
Chapter 98: Love, ErisMarried life wasn't actually as I had imagined... how should I put it?In my imagination, marriage meant responsibility.But the fact is, I don't really have anything I need to do right now; there doesn't seem to be any difference between before and after marriage.If I had to say... it would be that every night I get to be intimate with a different wife.Hmm? Am I perhaps a bit too happy?...Happiness is one thing, but I still know what I need to do.Inside the Laboratory, I am studying the magic notebook.This was given to me by Orsted, and it is also the magic I invented in the previous timeline.In my opinion, this is an evil magic.If manipulated well, it could even change other people's memories; it really is quite disgusting.But this kind of magic is the only thing that can cure Zenith's illness, so no matter what, I must learn it."Failed?"Nanahoshi leaned against my side, watching the mouse I was using for the experiment."It's more like it's impossible to succeed. The IQ of these creatures is too low; even if I succeeded, I wouldn't be able to tell."Nanahoshi nodded in agreement."True. Then, why have you been using mice for experiments?""To practice.""Are you going to start human experiments?""Yeah, it's about time to start using human subjects.""Whoa, that's truly evil.""I will try my best to use scum and slaves who don't want to live anymore for the experiments; at least morally, I won't feel as bad.""Hmm? Need help?""You?"Nanahoshi patted her chest, looking somewhat proud."Although I can't use magic, I am very rich, and my status at this Magic University is also very high.""So?""I will help you get slaves. How about it?"After thinking for a while, I thought about my subsequent plans.I shook my head and refused."No need. My subsequent plans already include the slave aspect, so it works out perfectly.""Fine then. Come over and help me inject mana, hurry up.""Alright, alright, alright..."...Returning home at night, Sylphie and Roxy were cooking, and Eris dragged me into the bathroom.I don't know where she learned it, but she was actually scrubbing my back.Hmm... it's just that the strength of a swordsman is a bit much..."How is it, Rudeus!""Hmm... it would be better if you could be a little more gentle.""Okay!"Eris's hands did indeed lighten up. After enjoying several minutes of back-scrubbing service, Erismoved a small stool and sat in front of me."Rudeus, help me wash my body!""Uh... okay..."After all, we are a married couple, aren't we? Having this kind of physical contact is also very normal.Right... very normal.I gently scrubbed Eris's back, applying soap onto it.Wow... muscles... these lines... as I was touching them, I became obsessed.I looked at my own body again, feeling that my previous training was almost nothing compared to Eris's.After scrubbing her back, as I was preparing to rinse off the foam, Eris suddenly turned around."The front too!""Hmm?!"Miss Eris, although I am a bit tired today, that doesn't mean I won't do anything, you know?Looking at Eris's bright, sparkling eyes, I was defeated by her innocence.She might... really just want to take a bath like this?Holding this thought, I scrubbed Eris face-to-face... calling it scrubbing might be a bit problematic, because I was afraid of hurting Eris, so it was all gentle caresses.Every time I passed over her peaks, I would also deliberately speed up to skip over them.The main thing is that I don't want to ignite Eris's lust in the bathroom.Eris is like a beast, this is true."Rudeus.""Hmm?""Are you seducing me right now?!"Eris suddenly burst into action, tackling me to the floor.My reaction was fast; I immediately cast Soundproofing Magic."Rudeus, your technique of touching me is so erotic.""Eh? I was just..."Before I could finish my sentence, my lips were blocked....Afterwards, we took a proper bath again.The tenderness with Eris was a bit wild.
Chapter 99: Love, RoxyAfter classes finished, I went to the door of Roxy's classroom to wait for her last lesson.I poked my head in and took a peek inside the classroom.Roxy was wearing the pair of glasses I use at home, a pair with magical effects.Combined with the way she was teaching so earnestly, those glasses made her look incredibly cute.Hmm...And just like that, I listened attentively through the second half of the class.I have to say, Roxy-sensei is still the same teacher; her teaching quality remains as high as ever...."Rudy~""Good work."Roxy didn't shy away from anything; after class, she jogged over to me.Perhaps because we are married, Roxy has become much bolder.She kissed me right in front of all the students.Amidst the gasps of the students, I took Roxy's hand and we left the school."Rudy~""Hm?""What were you looking at just now?""Of course, I was listening attentively to Roxy-sensei's class.""Is that so?"Roxy said, pushing her glasses up with her hand.Fine, I admit it.Roxy wearing glasses is even cuter than I imagined.I don't know why, but I really like it."As I thought~""Hm?""I noticed it at home; Rudy really likes how I look wearing glasses~""Can't deny that."Roxy suddenly let go of my hand.She took off her glasses and put them on my face."Mmph...""What's wrong?""Rudy looks handsome wearing them too, there's an intellectual feel to it.""You look very cute wearing them, Sensei.""Only cute?"Roxy took the glasses back.She said playfully,"Tonight, Rudy belongs to me~ Is my appearance with glasses only cute?""Hmm... also very... beautiful.""Well~ I know the word 'beautiful' doesn't really suit me."She put the glasses back on.Then, she used both hands to adjust them to the perfect position."Rudy~ I'll be wearing them tonight, so... please be gentle~"..."Rudy... have you ever been to a brothel?"Roxy asked this question while panting.At this very moment,In the night,Tangled together with Roxy.It should have been a very intimate moment, but for some reason, it suddenly turned into this.Are all women like this? One second she's loving me to death, and the next she's doubting me a little?Roxy's tone was very gentle, but her gaze couldn't lie, and this suspicious look made me feel a bit uneasy.After calming down for a moment, I felt there was no need to panic at all, because I truly haven't been to one."I haven't."After I answered, Roxy leaned into my arms as if relieved."Rudy, do you know why I asked you that?""Why?""Hmm... because you're very experienced."Me?I'm experienced?But the reality is that I'm always pinned down by Eris, like a *** being endlessly drained.I always feel that every night I spend with Eris, it's like we've swapped genders. Although Eris is always the first to admit defeat in the end, I'm not much better off.Yet, to Roxy, am I an experienced man with stamina?I held Roxy even tighter."You've given me confidence, Roxy.""Mhm? So, Rudy... can you continue?""Of course.""This time, no need to be gentle~"Roxy placed the glasses she was wearing onto the nightstand....The night with Roxy was a wonderful night.
WTR-LABMushoku Tensei, That's All There is to LifeCh. 101 / 31432.2%WebWeb+AI#101Chapter 100 Love, SylphieChapter 100: Love, SylphieSylphie and I snuggled together.Sylphie is very gentle, and our intimate moments always start this way.It can be said that it perfectly matches my imagination of "love".Of course, I'm not saying that I don't enjoy my nights with Roxy and Eris, it's just that only with Sylphiecan I truly relax completely.When the atmosphere reached a certain threshold, Sylphie reached out and gently caressed my body."Wait, there is something I want to tell you first, Sylphie.""Hmm? What is it?"After interrupting Sylphie, I stroked her head."I've developed a magic that can temporarily change a person's appearance, including hair color, of course. That way, whenever you want to go out shopping in the future, you can do so with peace of mind. Also..."Before I could finish my sentence, Sylphie had already gently kissed me.Her hand also began to slowly caress my body.However, halfway through, she suddenly stopped."Rudy...""Hmm? What's wrong?""It's just... you've been thinking so much for my sake, and I..."Sylphie's tone was somewhat apologetic, but I didn't even know what she was apologizing for.Out of the belief that 'laying things out on the table is the only way to solve problems', I asked directly."What's wrong? Feel free to say it, no matter what, I will...""It's nothing."Sylphie shook her head first to interrupt, smiling."It's nothing, really."I asked again."Is it something you can't tell your husband?""How could that be?""Then tell me about it, won't you?"I pulled Sylphie into my arms.I have always felt that hugging is the action that best embodies love.It is even more filled with "love" than kissing.Perhaps because the hug gave Sylphie a sense of security, she slowly began to speak."Rudy... you've always been thinking of me, and you even developed this kind of magic for me, but do you know what I've been thinking about these past few days?""Hmm? What is my Sylphie thinking about?""I was thinking... whether Rudy would take Miss Nanahoshi as a wife. I'm sorry... I'm such a selfish wife.""Hmm... Huh?"Miss Nanahoshi?Why would Sylphie think that Miss Nanahoshi and I have something going on?Admittedly, Miss Nanahoshi is a beautiful girl, and we get along very well, but that's because we come from the same world. I don't have even a shred of sexual desire for Miss Nanahoshi.Hmm... Is it because Miss Nanahoshi is my only friend? That's why Sylphie is worried...If I put myself in her shoes, if Sylphie's only friend was a man, I definitely wouldn't be at ease either.Yeah, I definitely wouldn't be at ease, okay! Especially since I'm about to go on a long journey because of Orsted's plan. How could I possibly be at ease leaving such a cute and gentle wife at home?!Thinking about this, I tightened my embrace around Sylphie."Sylphie.""Hmm?""I will absolutely not take Miss Nanahoshi as a wife, because I don't love her... saying I don't love her might be a bit much, but I interact with Miss Nanahoshi purely as a friend. I don't have those kinds of desires for her.""I believe you, Rudy.""Yeah.""So... does Rudy still want to?"I shook my head."Sorry, I almost forgot that Sylphie is on her period today. Tonight, just holding my cute wife is enough.""It's my fault for not reminding you, Rudy. Even though I'm not feeling well, I still wanted to spend time alone with you...""Sylphie, you always know how to say things that make me love you even more.""Oh, Rudy... Let me help you, okay?""Hmm?"Sylphie complained in a coy voice with a blushing face.Although I said it wasn't necessary, Sylphie still crawled under the covers and conquered me with her technique....The night with Sylphie was a gentle one.
Chapter 101: Preparing for ActionTwo months after the wedding, in the Laboratory, Orsted, Aisha, and I were discussing the feasibility of the plan.I didn't know how the version of me in the previous timeline managed to get Ariel on the throne, and Orsted didn't know either, because until I went to him for revenge, he didn't pay much attention to my existence.However, in the previous timeline, Water God Reidadidn't publicly help Darius, so this tailored plan targeted this character."Big Brother, if that's the case, don't you have to go to a very far place?"Aisha sat at the table, resting her chin on her hand, looking somewhat dissatisfied."Yeah.""You just got married not long ago, eh? If you go that far, Sylphie and the others will be sad.""I know..."Although I knew that with the kindness of Sylphieand the others, they would surely tolerate my actions, it was indeed not quite right to leave home for an unknown amount of time just one month after getting married.Just as I was at a loss, Orsted took out a scroll and spoke."You can use Teleportation Circle Magic. Once you arrive and settle down there, just use this scroll to draw a Teleportation Circle, and I will help you link it to your courtyard."I took the scroll and lowered my head to bow."Thank you."Orsted smiled."No need. You are working for me, and besides, this Teleportation Magic Circle was improved by you and Nanahoshi in the previous timeline.""Is that so?"I turned to look at Nanahoshi, and she smiled at me and said,"Let me see the scroll later, okay~""Understood."Orsted nodded."If there are no problems, then the plan is set like this.""Yeah, I have no problem."Just then, Aisha raised her hand."I want to go too! I'll be Big Brother's bodyguard!""No need. I'm not weak enough to need you to protect me." I reached out and tapped Aisha's head.Aisha heard this, but surprisingly didn't pester me. Instead, she turned to look at Orsted.Orsted noticed her gaze and looked somewhat helpless, then smiled and said,"Rudeus, your sister is much stronger than you think. If she acts as your bodyguard, most opponents won't pose a threat to you.""Well, as long as it's not an ambush, I don't think most opponents can pose any threat to me anyway.""But you are short on manpower, aren't you?""Yeah..."It was true that I was short on manpower, but that didn't mean I had to take my own sister with me.After all, there was real danger. If I encountered Water God Reida outside of the plan..."Big Brother~ Take me with you, I'm very strong, you know.""In the plan, it's almost impossible for me to run into Water God Reida, and the others won't pose any threat to me, so...""What if? It's very likely that I'm stronger than Big Brother right now. Is there any harm in taking me? Besides, I know a lot about the Water God Styletoo!""I just don't want to take my own sister to do dangerous things.""Big Brother just said earlier that it's almost impossible to run into Water God Reida. You're contradicting yourself."Tsk... My sister is becoming harder and harder to deal with.If I took Aisha, Eris would definitely demand to be taken along too.It wasn't that I couldn't take them, though..."Big Brother! How about this, let's have a duel! If I win, take me with you!""Aisha... Honestly, I feel like you are challenging Big Brother's authority.""Hmm? So, does Big Brother agree?""Fine. If you lose, you stay home obediently. Since there's a Teleportation Circle, it's not like I can't come back. I'll be back every night.""Got it~"We walked into the Teleportation Circle and arrived at a plain.Without saying anything else, we consciously put fifty paces of distance between us.Aisha... I remember that all of her sword styles had almost reached the Advanced Rank. Let's equate her swordsmanship to Paul's first.Hmm...? No... She has been learning from Orsted for the past few months...I glanced at Orsted and found a mysterious smile hanging on the corner of his mouth."Big Brother, here we go!""Come on."I didn't have the arrogant water dragon king on hand, but that didn't matter.In most of her battles, Aisha had only hunted monsters. Her sparring partners were only Eris, Ghislaine, Paul... and Orsted.So, would she charge directly like Eris and Ghislaine? Or would she observe the opponent for a while before striking like Paul? As for Orsted... I don't think anyone can learn from him.Recalling my battle with Ghislaine, I unleashed a wide-range Ice Magic.Starting from my feet, I covered a radius of 50 meters with magic.Sensing that Aisha had started to move, I set up a Magic Circle around myself.Aisha is smart; she definitely wouldn't fall for this kind of trap. My purpose was just to limit Aisha's movements when she got close.Sensing Aisha's position, I fired ice spikes at her.Her fighting style was different from Eris, Ghislaine, or Paul. I didn't understand why Aisha was just dodging.Whatever, that's fine too.I also set up trap magic on myself. This was improved from the notes Orsted gave me, a magic that can briefly make a person faint.Suddenly, I felt the ground shake.Aisha cast magic, stepped on an earth pillar, and charged at me.Why didn't she do that at the beginning...After thinking for a moment, I raised my hand to lift an ice pillar, but Aisha cut it in half in mid-air.The magic didn't stop because it was cut. Ice pillars shot towards Aisha one after another. After Aishacut them all down, she rushed to my side.When she landed and slashed at me, she stepped into the magic trap I had laid in front of me.This was an Advanced Rank magic that could instantly grow vines to entangle the opponent."Fire Break!"However, just as I thought, the moment Aishastepped on it, she chanted magic to attach fire to her sword and cut it open.I mean, Aisha's chant reduction has reached this level...In the mist created by the explosion, I sensed Aisha's position.When she cut in from the left, I turned the ground under her feet into a swamp and fired ice spikes.But this seemed to be within Aisha's expectations. Before the swamp fully formed under her feet, she had already chanted magic, stepped on an earth pillar, and flew into the sky again.That's right.I unleashed a lightning strike towards the sky.Of course, not the kind that would be fatal. Just a little shock to Aisha, and she should understand that she lost.The lightning bolt struck towards Aisha, but just as it was about to hit, it dissipated.It dissipated...I was stunned for a moment. Without thinking, I immediately cast magic to surround myself with an earth shield.Aisha descended from the sky and split the shield. The moment she landed, she stepped on another Magic Circle I had set up.An instant freezing. I unleashed a swamp towards Aisha again.At the same time, I also activated the magic I had recently researched.I used pure mana to create gravity and applied pressure on Aisha.I didn't want to use it originally, as I wasn't particularly proficient with it yet, and it would be bad if I hurt Aisha.But seeing Aisha's serious appearance, I felt that if I didn't use my full strength, I would definitely lose.Aisha was pressed down by gravity, and her feet sank into the swamp.She opened her mouth and quickly chanted magic.Earth walls rose around me, completely covering me."The magic is at least Saint Rank... Swordsmanship..."What a pain.The most troublesome opponent I've encountered so far is actually my own sister...The earth wall was split from my left, and Aisharushed in.I raised my hand to cast swamp again, wanting to coordinate with the Gravity Magic to suppress Aisha."Big Brother! A move used once won't be effective again!"Like some kind of privilege for swordsmen, Aishaexerted force throughout her body and launched a burst.But well... I don't think there is anyone in this world who understands the terror of swordsmen better than me.When she got close, the magic trap I had set on myself activated.A purple light shot towards Aisha. This was a spirit magic I had researched over the past six months.As long as she was hit, Aisha would know she lost. I used this magic only because it caused no damage.But just then, I noticed Aisha's eyes change color for a split second.Only for a split second...Something's wrong!Right, why didn't I think of it? Aisha knows my habits better than anyone.She must have known I would set traps on myself.Even if she knew, she still rushed over, so she must have a way to break it.The moment this thought appeared, I cast magic to make the ground under my feet shoot into the sky to create distance."Big Brother, you are going to lose."Aisha smiled and rushed towards me along the vertical earth pillar.That's why swordsmen... are really troublesome!I fired Ice Magic, but it was cut directly. I clenched my right hand and controlled the shattered ice fragments to shoot at Aisha's feet.But just like before, the color of Aisha's eyes changed again.And my magic failed once again.What kind of magic-dispelling method is this?Judging from Aisha's situation just now, should there be a cooldown or a limit?Fine... In that case.I raised my right hand and cast magic.Not one or two, but multiple Ice Magic spells.Mainly because I was afraid of hurting Aisha with lightning or other magic."Big Brother!? You're too serious!!"As expected, Aisha dispelled the triple magic in an instant, while the other four hit Aisha and froze her.However, she is a swordsman; this level of magic cannot hurt her."Alright, Aisha lost."I dispelled the magic and brought the earth pillar down from the sky.Aisha also dispelled the Ice Magic after two seconds and said stubbornly,"I didn't lose! If we kept fighting...""What if it wasn't Ice Magic?""Big Brother is such a cheater... I didn't even know Big Brother could use multiple magic... And what was that magic that was pressing on me just now!""I didn't know Aisha had magic to dispel magic either. What kind of magic is this?""It's not magic~ It's the Demon Eye of Absorption. It's a Demon Eye I got a long time ago. I never told you, Big Brother. I can easily dispel any magic you cast without the arrogant water dragon king."Demon Eye of Absorption...?It's easy to understand from the literal meaning; is it an eye that absorbs magic?This is too much of a counter to me, isn't it?I turned to look at Orsted. Was this what he was smiling about earlier?"But Big Brother is really insidious... hiding your skills! You clearly said you taught me all your knowledge about magic!""Well... after all, Aisha, you can't use chantless casting. No matter what, you can't cast multiple types of magic at the same time, right? I also don't know how to do the chant for Gravity Magic...""Let's go again! If we go again, I'll definitely win!""A bet is a bet."I issued the ultimatum, but what responded wasn't Aisha's pestering.It was Orsted."Rudeus, trust your sister. You will need her.""But...""Lord Orsted said so! And if I compete with Big Brother again, I will definitely win!"It's such a headache.Even Orsted is speaking up for Aisha.Honestly, I really don't want to take my own sister to do dangerous things.After all, if there was any accident and we ran into Reida, I definitely couldn't protect her..."Rudeus, your sister has the ability to protect herself. What she said just now is not false. If you compete again, the one who will lose is likely you.""Exactly, exactly!"I'm a bit helpless.I don't know why Orsted trusts Aisha so much..."I'll ask, does Aisha have anything else hiding from me? For example... what you said earlier about understanding the Water God Style, and also, what if we run into Reida?""Hmm? Just be faster than her.""Hmm... Hmm?""I've been practicing with Lord Orsted for half a year. The Water God Style can already be called Quasi-Sword Saint level, right?"Saying that, Aisha also turned to look at Orsted.Seeing him nod, Aisha put her hands on her hips and said.Half a year?!"Big Brother didn't feel it? When I split your magic, it was effortless.""I didn't feel anything... I feel like all swordsmen have the same feeling when fighting me... After all, once they get close, it's equivalent to me losing."Hmm...?"So how are you going to break it? Quasi-Sword Saint level can't possibly be faster than Reida, right?"Aisha snapped her fingers."Watch closely."She put her hand on her sword, and a feeling I was familiar with appeared.This..."Aisha... you...""How is it? Does it look the part? Although this is a simplified version of the Water God's realm, in the end, she couldn't possibly know that I've learned it too. Although the range isn't as big as hers, if she is careless, I have a chance of winning.""You learned this in just half a year...?""Yeah, but it's with Lord Orsted's help."The secret technique that others spent decades researching... you learned a simplified version in half a year of following him.A genius is truly terrifying.I sighed and said,"Alright."Thus, the plan to take Aisha and Eris was almost set in stone.
