v2c51.1 - Intermission 23 - Ellie, the Arch Wizard who decides to be Alex's first
I was shocked to learn that Alex had already taken Lydia, Nina, and Nora as his three lovers.
Nora had only recently arrived, but Lydia and Nina had been in the demon territory before I arrived.
Ms. Tabitha’s strategy was right after all.
In just a few days, Alex become close to the two people that he helped in the deserted demon territory.
Ugh …… I wish I could have gotten here a little earlier.
“…… Alex. You can still choose ……”
“Wait. Ellie.”
“Wait! Miss Ellie, I need to talk to you for a minute.”
I was about to appeal to Alex to choose me instead of Ms. Lydia and the others when suddenly Ms. Shelly and Ms.Monica stopped me and brought me into the shrine.
“You two …… what the hell!? Why are you stopping me!?”
“I can read your thoughts. You were about to tell Alex that …… you want to be his only lover.”
“Yes! I mean, it’s crazy to have three lovers! So I want Alex to look only at me!”
“I see. So at the place you were raised from, one man and one woman are married. But the black-haired tribe that originally lived here usually practiced polygamy, you know? There are many different races, from elves and dwarves to beastmen …… so it would be unwise to impose your own customs on them.”
Polygamy is the norm, and a wide variety of customs …… that may be true, but I can’t stand the idea of Alex kissing someone other than me!
“Miss Ellie. The master is already in love with Lydia and her family. Let me tell you clearly, it is impossible now for you to keep those three away …… and let only Miss Ellie be a lover with Master.”
“You …… You don’t know that! I’ve been in love with Alex since I was little ……”
“Miss Ellie. If Master had not been lovers with anyone, it would have come through. But do you think Master is the kind of man who would abandon someone he has a relationship with? I can’t see him as that kind of man.”
“Then what do you think I should do!”
“Well, Miss Shelly just told you, didn’t she? The three were probably raised in a polygamous culture. Then we should become one of Master’s wives too. This is the demon territory …… and we should not impose our common sense and culture on them.”
Don’t impose my culture on them …… though it is true that this is a demon tribe territory far away from the city of Frey.
“Besides, didn’t we just learn that Master has a wonderful skill.”
“Wonderful skill?”
“Oh. Hare …… Ahem. In polygamy, he has the skill to reassure his wives …… Peerless! In other words, he will surely mess us up until we’re full!”
“…… I’m fine with normal! There’s no way I want to be messed up ……”
“I’ve never experienced it myself, but I’ve heard the maids say that men do it all the time! They say it fills you with happiness from deep inside ……I can’t wait to be held by my master! …… so, I will accept polygamy and be one of his wives. What about you, Miss Ellie?”
Ms. Monica’s disheveled face suddenly became serious and she looked at me.
Breaking up with the three of them and having me alone as his lover might not have much chance of success, just as Ms. Monica said.
On the other hand, if Ms. Monica and I were to become one of Alex’s lovers, since he already have three, wouldn’t it be okay to have at least two more?
Besides, he said that he’s lovers with the three of them but, uh …… I-It seems that they still haven’t started child-making …… They haven’t, right!?
Even though they became his lovers first …… I’m going to be his first time!
“I understand. I’ll be one of Alex’s lovers! And I’m going to have …… k-kids with Alex!”
“I see. I’m glad you changed your mind, Miss Ellie. Let’s go to Master.”
When I was about to leave the shrine with Ms. Monica…
“Then, I will go with you.”
“What!? Don’t tell me you like Alex too, Ms. Shelly ……!?”
“I don’t hate him. No, he saved my life, and I like him. But there’s no way he can be my lover. So, I only ask you to play with me from time to time.”
“Oh, you’re going to ask him to play with you …… wait, in that form?”
“Yes? Is there a problem?”
Shelly tilts her head curiously, but with the appearance of a girl less than ten years old — will such a small body be alright?
Well, I saw Alex’s thing about five years ago, but even then it was pretty …… wait, I’ve never seen anyone else’s, so I don’t know what the standard is.
At first, my mind was made up, so I ran out of the shrine and ran in a straight line toward Alex and jumped into his chest.
