Chapter 174 – Creating a Harem (2)
Anyway, Carmina was hugged by me and was wagging her tail again, so I hugged her.
“Well, I’m glad you like this one!”
When Carmina sees me, she smiles and hugs me.
“Hug women as much as you have not been able to hug them, you hero of women!”
Then, I hugged Carmina even harder, as she wanted, as she was rubbing her face against my chest.
I don’t know how long it took, but Carmina, who was holding me with her legs wrapped around my waist, jumped up and went down again and she said.
“Well, that’s enough! “Enough is enough!”
“Okay?”
“I’ve had enough!”
Then.
“Now, Lilith too.”
“What? Sleep… Sigh…!”
“Why is your reaction different from mine?” I grabbed Lilith’s arm, who was grumbling next to her, and pulled her into a hug.
“Tsk…”
Although she did not react as violently as Carmina, I could tell that she was very happy to see Lilith’s tail gently and slowly wagging as she was gently hugged with the tips of her ears dyed bright red.
“Suddenly, what are you doing… Really… If this is going to happen, why don’t you do it from the beginning?”
Although she was grumbling a lot with her mouth.
Wow!
Just like Carmina, I hugged Lilith for a while and then let go.
And she said.
“Hoaran, come here too. Even Karura.”
It was when I was still living in the Kingdom of Narmer.
When I confessed to Carmina about Lilith, Joaran, and Justitia, and said that I might have many women besides Carmina and Karura, Carmina was surprised and asked me if I had never had a wife before. .
So, that being said, the advice Carmina gave me was once the way to treat her wives and husbands in the Kingdom of Lemer.
Polyamory, or polyandry.
In the Kingdom of Narmer, where it was common for the more outstanding a hero to have more wives and husbands, regardless of gender, Carmina told me about the attitude of such heroes towards their wives and husbands.
Even in the Kingdom of Narmer, where men and women had a culture where harems naturally existed, sexual quarrels were common.
When anyone loves someone, it is natural to want to be loved more by that person as much as they love you.
It was cute to be jealous of a new wife because her husband treated her even more cutely, and it seemed that people often died due to political fights in the Kingdom of Narmer.
But as such, there were ways to deal with it.
It’s a bit strange to call it a coping method.
Anyway, such a tradition? Culture? Anyway, there was something like that.
In the Kingdom of Narmer… So, in the past, when there were still men.
If a man with multiple wives hugged one wife, he was sure to hug the other wives as well.
He had to treat everything equally: kisses, gifts, nights, etc.
It had to be done without any deficiency or discrimination.
He had to treat them equally, love them equally.
Carmina told me that it was a natural duty for a hero with multiple wives or husbands, and I agreed.
So, as much as she hugged Carmina, she also had to hug Lilith, Hoarando, and Karura as much.
I am so happy to be loved by them.
At least I want them to be happy too.
If I wanted to give back even a little bit of the happiness I received, I had to do that.
“Hey, this is a little embarrassing…”
Hoaran, who had been called and approached me, looked up at me while saying that.
Hoa-ran looks embarrassed, as if he can guess why I’m doing this because he saw me do this to Carmina and Lilith earlier.
But the tails were gently wagging happily.
And, I said this to Hoaran.
“Is there anything to be ashamed of? “Her husband said he would give her a hug.”
“Ah, wife… Tsk…”
He hugged Hoa-ran, whose cheeks were blushing at the mention of “Wife.”
In my eyes, I saw Hoaran’s tails, which were swollen and swollen faster than before.
However, I somehow resisted the urge to grab Hoaran’s tail and stroke it.
If that were the case, then in the case of Lilith, Carmina, and Karura who had no tails, I would have to stroke their wings all over again from the beginning.
Even though Hoaran’s tail, which looked very fluffy, tempted me to pet it, I held back.
After somehow holding back and hugging Hoaran for a while, Karura wasn’t as strong as she was with her pregnancy, but while she was hugging her tightly so that she wouldn’t feel like she was lacking, Justitia came out of the bedroom with messy hair. It seemed.
“…Hanzo? “What are you doing there…?”
“That’s good, Justitia, come here too.”
Since Justitia was sleeping, she tried to hug her later and she was fine.
“What…?”
While tilting her head, Justitia, who came to me when I called her, hugged Karura after hugging her.
“Huh…? What’s happening all of a sudden…?”
“There is such a thing.”
“…Yeah, well… I’m not sure.”
“Cook,” He said.
Justitia wrapped her arms around my waist.
“Can I do this too…?”
“Huh.”
I patted Justitia’s head as a way to thank her for being quick-witted, but I thought it was a mistake.
Carmina, who immediately saw Justitia stroking her head, was looking at me with her eyes sparkling.
Not only Carmina, but also Lilith, Hoaran, and Karura were looking at me like that.
Even though she didn’t say it out loud, she must have noticed something from what I was doing, and when she saw the girls staring at me, she removed her hand that was stroking Justitia’s head.
Equality…
It’s so tough…
It was so difficult to treat people equally within a family, especially those with less than ten people, and I thought I could understand how much trouble world governments must have.
Still, there was nothing I could do.
Even though I can’t make everyone the happiest in the world, I vowed to make them happy anyway.
Because I didn’t want to see them sad for no reason.
I have to cheer up.
I got away from Justitia again and patted everyone’s heads again, starting with Lilith.
After hugging and stroking everyone in the same way, time has passed by.
Anyway, then I decided to ask what I wanted to ask earlier.
“I heard you came here to buy groceries? “What did you buy?”
Hoaran said with a look of regret upon hearing my words.
“Oh my, I forgot. “I should have cooked it while it was fresh…”
Cooking?
“Just wait a little while, the main lady will be cooking soon.”
Saying that, she looked at the things Hoa-ran was taking out of the shopping cart and asked what he had bought, but she shut her mouth and was about to ask.
There were a lot of strange looking things coming out of the shopping cart.
Some of them were writhing as if they were still alive.
That… Looks like something similar to a turtle, and that looks like an eel… Something similar.
Anyway, all of them were so big that I couldn’t help but wonder how they ended up in the shopping cart.
Not only was it unusual in size, but also in appearance.
Something similar to a horse and something similar to an eel.
Because none of the turtles or eels I know have horns or legs.
“…You’re going to cook with it?”
With that?
“Oh, I’m not going to cook these.”
Ah, as expected.
No matter how much I looked at it, it didn’t look like I was eating it, but as I was feeling relieved that it wasn’t really food to eat, Hoa-ran said to me.
“These two animals have internal organs, so it is better to cut open their stomachs and take out the internal organs rather than cooking them and eating them. Since it has been known for a long time that it is best to take Naedan raw, I will prepare it separately for you.”
“…”
I felt slightly dizzy when Hoaran said, “There are good things there.”
What kind of local supermarket sells things like Naedan, or rather, not just Naedan, but a spirit object that contains Naedan alive?
Assuming that it is the lowest level elixir that can form a mandragora, the spirit object from which Naedan was created must have been at least a middle level elixir.
Is that something that can be sold at a local supermarket?
No, even if it was sold at a supermarket, it would cost a penny or two…
“Ah.”
Hoaran was also a rich man receiving a huge pension from the world’s governments.
She was not particularly interested in wealth itself, or rather, it was clear that she had enough money in her bank account to even buy an elixir or two.
In fact, there was nothing for sale, but if he had the goods, Hoaran had enough money to buy not just one or two, but a whole box of mid-level elixirs.
Not only Hoaran, but also Lilith, who manages the dispensers as well as pensions, and I haven’t seen them working these days, but Justitia, who has money from working at an institution that deals with magic engineering and such, is also extremely rich…
Carmina, who was no longer a pharaoh, and Karura, who was no longer a great warrior, brought along a lot of various things.
Even though the price of gold and other jewels has fallen a lot, you can easily become rich by selling just one or two of the accessories you both like to wear.
“…Why are you doing this all of a sudden? “It’s Hanzo.”
“No, nothing.”
I was a bit intimidated, but when I thought about it, I was also rich now.
Because I didn’t have any cash, I could have become rich in an instant just by selling the cane that the pedo skull used.
That’s because I don’t have any cash right now.
Of course, even if I make a lot of money by selling pedo wands, I wonder if I can compare it to the three’s bank accounts.
Anyway, now I am no longer the penniless debtor I used to be.
No, I haven’t paid off all the money to Lilith yet, so I’m still in debt.
Anyway.
“Let’s call those two Naedan, what about the rest?”
Those two are particularly unusual-looking, but the rest are also amazing.
“Ah, these are… I guess Hanzo, you must have lost a lot of energy in the last few days, right? “These are all good ingredients for nurturing energy.”
“…Health.”
That’s all, I mean.
No, I mean all of them, including those two that I bought to take out my bundle.
“…What is Hoa?”
“Well, it’s not just because of that, it’s because they’re all good for your health, so… I bought it with that in mind…”
Hoa-ran says that with a bright red face.
Thanks to this, it didn’t seem to be persuasive at all.
As I stared at Hoa-ran, her face blushed even more under my gaze, and she held on to the hem of her skirt and said,
“It’s true!”
If it were true, there would be no need to be so embarrassed…
Well, anyway.
“Yes, I believe it.”
That’s what I said.
In that sense, Hoaran, I bought a lot of things that whet my appetite just by looking at them, but it’s not that I don’t like them.
Anyway, it was for my benefit and I didn’t mean to say anything.
Even if it was really because of that that I bought it, it wasn’t Hoaran’s fault because I wasn’t good enough.
Rather, I should be more sorry for not working hard enough to satisfy Hoaran.
“I’ll be looking forward to it.”
“Hanzo…”
Straight, straight.
I could see Hoaran’s two ears moving happily.
Soon, Hoaran rolled up his sleeves and spoke.
“Just leave it to her real wife and wait, she’ll be done soon.”
“Oh, me too, no… I will help too.”
“Well, then, I’d like to ask you to prepare an ingredient called Karu.”
“I’ll help you too! “There’s a dish I want to make for Yeo-do’s hero!”
“Carmina too…? Then…”
Anyway, Hoaran, Karura, and even Carmina headed to the kitchen.
Seeing that we go grocery shopping and cook together, I guess our relationship has gotten better while I’ve been stuck in the bedroom.
By the way, I knew that Hoaran and Karuraya were good at cooking, but was Carmina also…?
I’ve never seen it before…
Seeing him so confident makes me think he has hidden talent.
By the way…
“…What you looking at?”
“…Why?”
Unlike the other three, I looked at Lilith and Justitia who were still next to me and said.
“Are you two going to stay alone?”
“…I can only make sandwiches? Even that makes it very strange.”
“Hmph,” Lilith says.
Ah.
Are you still upset?
“…Still, Lilith, I want to eat the sandwich you made again?”
“…”
Lilith, who was staring at me, said.
“…You’re going to say it’s strange again, right?”
“I will not.”
If I didn’t know like before, there was no way I would have said something like that even though I knew.
“Then… If you want to eat it that much, there’s nothing I can’t do for you.”
After saying that, perhaps feeling a little relieved, I looked at Lilith heading toward the kitchen while asking Hoaran if there was any leftover bread, and then I saw Justitia who was still acting blankly.
Justitia said as she looked at me.
“…I’m sorry, but I’ve never cooked before? And, Hanzo knows, but I don’t even know what’s delicious.”
“Since it’s already been done, please go make Justitia too.”
“…Yeah, well… Hanzo, if you want.”
Don’t get your hopes up.
Justitia eventually joined the kitchen ranks.
I hope we can get along better with this.
If you do something together, your relationship will get better.
According to Carmina, I heard that even in the Kingdom of Narmer, her wives and husbands did various things to promote friendship with each other, so I tried it too.
Then, while everyone else was cooking, I decided to take a shower, which was what I had originally planned.
