Chapter 71 – The Road to Harem Is a Difficult One (1)
We first followed Aria inside the palace to greet King Brittinya.
The palace, which was destroyed in the last Lien attack, appears to have been repaired.
Coming here reminds me of the past when I had a hole in my stomach.
At that time, I really thought I was going to die.
Ellie and Aria are still walking arm in arm.
Even though there are obviously people around, they don’t care at all.
At first, I thought about telling her to uncross her arms, but I decided to just enjoy this moment.
It was difficult to escape the marshmallow-like softness I felt on my arms every time I walked.
Aria led us to the room where we had briefly stayed before.
“Could you wait here for a moment? I’ll tell my father that Jinu is here.”
Aria said as she went out and closed the door.
I sat down on the bed in the room, and when they saw me sit down, Renia and Lien came towards me.
And we stopped when we saw each other coming towards me.
“Wait, isn’t it my turn this time?”
“It is I who must be by my lord’s side now.”
Renia and Lien still glared at each other without giving in, feeling like a cat and a cat.
“I want to sit next to Jinu too!”
Meanwhile, Yuria quickly took the seat next to me.
Renia said after seeing that.
“Yuria, you can’t just sit next to Jinu right now. It would be natural for me, who was loved the most by Jinu, to sit next to her.”
“I may not agree with the saying that you are loved the most, but it is true that you should not sit around arbitrarily. Yuria, wake up.”
Looking at how united they are, I’m not sure if they really have bad relations.
“Hmph…”
After listening to Renia and Lien, Yuria quietly got up.
Unexpectedly, I seem to listen to my sisters well.
“Anyway, now I have to sit next to Jinu!”
“No, that’s me!”
I sighed as I watched the two people start glaring again when Yuria got up.
“Let’s not fight anymore and I will decide. For now, Lien will sit on my left and Yuria will sit on my right.”
Lien and Yuria, who heard what I said, came over with big smiles and sat down on either side of me, leaning their heads towards me.
My chosen one, Lenia, on the other hand, lowered her head with a downcast look on her face.
“And Renia, you come here.”
I spread both legs and pointed in front of me.
“… Yes!”
At first, Lenia didn’t seem to understand what I was saying for a moment, but she quickly understood and ran over to me. She sat down in front of me and leaned her head back.
With three people leaning on me, it feels a bit heavy.
But what can you do?
Now, enjoy this moment.
For now, I sat in this position because I thought it was the most balanced, but I don’t know what to do if more people are added later.
Ellie crossed her arms all the way from her gate and sat down in her chair near her without saying anything, perhaps satisfied.
“And what about that woman earlier, Ellie? Why did she let that woman link her arms with her Jinu-sama?”
Renia, who was sitting in front of me, looked at Ellie and said.
“Because Aria is in love with Jinu. That’s why she acted like me.”
Ellie looked at Renia and spoke as if nothing had happened.
Except for Renia, Rien and Yuria didn’t say anything because they already knew the truth, but Renia probably didn’t know this for the first time.
She hasn’t talked about Arya since Lenia was summoned.
“Right now, it’s enough just for us, but are you asking us to bring people from all over the world into Jinu’s arms?”
Renia doesn’t seem to like the fact that Aria is with us.
“I’m okay. There are 7 women in our guild, so I don’t think it would be a big problem if there were one or two more women. And from what I’ve seen and felt since I’ve been with Aria, I think she’s capable of supporting Jinu well.”
Yuria and Rien, who knew Aria, also nodded at Ellie’s words.
“I don’t mind, right? I’m not a bad person.”
“You have to be a princess of a country to be by Jinu-sama’s side. I don’t think it’s a problem, either.”
When no one agreed with what she said, Lenia changed her stance to look at me, probably pouting, and put her head in my arms.
“Jinu… Do you really have to have that woman? I’ll do better…”
Then, Renia pleaded with me in a charming voice.
“I’m sorry, but that’s not possible, Renia. I already promised Aria.”
“…Tch!”
Lenia clicked her tongue in a small sound after hearing what I said.
She then turned and sat forward again.
“If Jinunim says so, I can’t help it. But! No more additions are allowed!”
It seems that Renia doesn’t want to increase her current number any further.
“Rhenia, that is your master’s decision. It is not your decision.”
“Hmph! I don’t like what I don’t like!”
Will there ever come a day when we see the two of them getting along well?
Thinking like that, I stroked Yuria’s head.
Now I have to get to the point.
“So, Ellie, did you hear my whisper well?”
“Yes, Jinu. I heard everything that happened in Arestel. When I first heard that it was an organization that could summon demons and even fuse them, it was hard to believe it. I would have never believed it if it weren’t for what Jinu said.”
Fortunately, I think it was delivered well.
It would be nice if whispers could be communicated to each other, but since only I can transmit them, I don’t know if the other person heard them, which is quite inconvenient.
Still, it’s better than nothing.
“Also, Jinu didn’t tell me it was a surprise, but I was told that one more person had been summoned. In fact, I was preparing after hearing that he was coming today.”
“It seems like the whisper function worked well without any problems. I’ll use it usefully next time as well.”
Ellie also nodded her head after hearing what I said.
“As soon as I heard about the Void organization from Jinnu, we investigated clues about people from our world and the Void organization at the same time. It was definitely easier since we added more people than if we had searched on our own. Although we haven’t found anything about the Void organization yet, we have found a new “I was able to find clues about the equipment that would be used as summoning material.”
“That’s very good news. Where is it?”
It’s a good thing we split up and investigated separately.
Where will it be this time?
“It was quite far from here. It is said that in the east, in addition to the kingdom of Brittinya, there exists a kingdom called Francia. A clue was found in the capital city of Perne.”
Should I go east this time?
I wish things could be resolved a little more easily, but I felt like another incident would happen when I went to retrieve the equipment.
“Do you know what kind of equipment it is? It would be great if it’s equipment I can use.”
“It’s unfortunate, but based on research, it appears that his occupation is probably a necromancer.”
“Really? Then, the reinforcement materials have been confirmed this time. Even if we only get equipment that is a little higher than “Dainsleif,” It would be worth using instead of “Gram.”
Even if you only have a level 95 top 12 weapon, it will do better damage than the top 20 “Gram” You are currently using.
Now, since “Gram” Is a piece of equipment that is only strengthened to an absurd degree and has no abilities given, the difference will be even greater.
“Then the next step is to go to a city called Pern. Ha, the gods here are really incompetent. They made me go here and there to look for Jinu-nim myself. It would be much better if I took the matter to Jinu-nim myself.”
“I agree with that. The more I hear it, the more I think that this guy called God summoned us because he couldn’t even protect his own world. If it weren’t for our lord, this world would have ended.”
I also agree with Lien and Renia.
It’s okay now that I’ve been summoned here.
Then, at least you should tell us where the equipment used as summoning material is so we can protect this world faster.
He is an incompetent god with absolutely nothing to like about him.
“But it’s still good enough for letting me meet Jinu. Hehe.”
Yuria, who heard us, said with a smile, hugging my arm a little more.
“I’m just thankful for that too. If this hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet you in person like now.”
Although I lived a rolling life before being summoned to this world and meeting Ellie, and there would be dangerous things in the future as I fought Demons and Voids, I think I am slightly, very slightly grateful that I was able to meet my characters who love me.
I’m also looking forward to the characters I’ll meet in the future.
Ah, but one person is like that.
It’s a guy, but… Um…
“Why are you doing this, Jinu?”
When I frowned slightly, Renia saw that and asked.
“It’s nothing. Anyway, the next destination is Pern. It would have been nice to get a clue about Void. I’m also a bit concerned about the name Arceus he said back then.”
“I did as much research as I could, but there were no clues about Boyd. It must be a huge organization that has no clues like this.”
I nodded, agreeing with Ellie.
“I think this time, I will be able to strengthen my own abilities and equipment, so it may be of some help in battle. It’s still a long way off, though.”
“No, Jinu! I’ve sparred with him, but he’s improved a lot compared to the first time. Even when he fought that Void guy last time, he took advantage of the opportunity and attacked well.”
I was really grateful that Yuria listened to me and praised me.
“Actually, the best thing to see is if we take care of everything without Jin-nim fighting. I prefer it if Jin-nim waits safely in my arms.”
Lenia turned her body again and hugged me, she said.
I don’t know if my body will fit into tiny Renia’s arms.
“We probably all have the same thoughts. But if your lord wants it, it’s our job to accommodate it.”
“That’s right. The very purpose of our existence is for Jinunim’s happiness.”
I smiled brightly, happy to hear what everyone said.
“Yes, I wish you all the best in the future.”
“Yes!”
Smart!
While we were talking and chatting, there was a knock on the door.
“Jinu, can I come in?”
Aria’s voice was heard outside the door.
“Oh, you can come in, Aria.”
I told Aria, who was outside the door, to come in.
When she opened the door and came in, Aria had changed her clothes and looked gorgeous.
Although she had been wearing ordinary going out clothes just a moment ago, she was now wearing a gorgeous blue dress that made her look like a princess. I don’t know why, but it was designed to highlight her breasts, or so her collarbones were clearly visible.
“What do you think, Jinu? Does it suit you?”
“Yes, it suits you really well. I think anyone who sees it will say that you are a beautiful princess.”
Aria smiled happily at my compliment.
“I’m going to say hello to my father now. He also wants to meet Jinu.”
After listening to Aria, we got up and left to visit.
After passing through the hallway, we arrived at the place where King Britinya was.
There were many people gathered there, including King Brittinya.
“Oh! You’ve finally arrived. We, the heroes of Brittinya and the warriors of this world!”
As we entered, people cheered exaggeratedly.
I think they’re probably trying to please us.
“It’s been a long time, Lord Jinu. I heard you arrived today after being in Ar Estel.”
“Yes, that’s right. Minercia here helped me a lot.”
I pointed to Minercia sleeping on Yuria’s shoulder behind me.
“It’s amazing to see it again. That little dragon turns into Jackie Chan and flies around. I wonder if it’s natural since he’s a hero. Huh? Now that I think about it, there’s one more person.”
King Britinya looked at the added Rennia and spoke.
“A lot of beautiful women are attracted to you. All of the warriors are peerless beauties. Moreover, they are trying to take my daughter Aria with them.”
I was stung by King Britain’s last words.
This is because it is not normal to have a relationship with the princess of a country.
If possible, I tried to stay quiet until the whole thing was over, but it seems like I already messed up, including with my arms crossed earlier.
“Originally, I would like to ask you to take my daughter Aria as her real wife, but unfortunately, there are warriors over there, so that would be impossible. So, who among them is your real wife?”
Yes?
When I heard those words, I unconsciously turned around and noticed the light shining in the eyes of the four people standing behind me.
