Sylphy, who had come out of the room, shouted in bewilderment. I can understand that feeling very well. When she came out of the room, she found Ellen and me in a state as if we had been half taken in by the three slime girls. We, however, were in a state of paradise. We are being rubbed all over on the most comfortable bed, and on top of that, we are being enveloped by the unexplainable fresh fragrance that Poizo emits.
It was like receiving a full-body massage and aromatherapy at the same time. It is very effective for me and Ellen who have been overworking our bodies and minds. It feels so good that nothing else matters.
âHey, youâre sure there arenât any nasty components in this stuff?â
Sylphy stares at Poizo while covering her mouth and nose with a cloth she pulled out from somewhere. Ahhh⊠it feels greatâŠ
âItâs not addictive, you know-nodesu?â
âRelease Kosuke and the saint now.â
Sylphy declared this to Poizo in a serious tone and clenched her fists. Hehehe, yo Sylphy! Donât be so hot headed like that. This smell is the best high Iâve ever had, you know?
âYou know how stressed out these two are-nodesu?â
âIâll take your word for it, but itâs not a good idea to make them so worn out that theyâre useless right now. Letâs get them cleaned up quickly.â
âThe spirits are being used roughly-nodesu.â
âBuooh!â
âNnnngh!â
Suddenly, a terrible aroma that tingles in the back of my nose penetrated my brain. This is that one; itâs like having too much wasabi! It hurts! Iâm tearing up!
â~~!â
Ellen also held her nose and got teary-eyed. Itâs too stimulating, even if itâs just a distraction. But the teary-eyed Ellen is kinda cute, though.
âHave you come to your senses? Kosuke?â
âFuha, fuha.â
Sylphy pinched my nose while puffing out her cheeks, forcing me to turn toward her and pull my gaze away from Ellen. The slightly puffed-up cheeks are cute. What a cute creature. Is it jealousy? Is she jealous? Sheâs jealous, isnât she? Thatâs the most intense outburst Iâve ever seen! Itâs not that it hasnât happened before, but isnât this the first time that Sylphy has revealed her feelings of jealousy to this extent?
âAchoo!â
âHnnn!â
Next to me, Lime was doing something with her hand on Ellenâs nose. No, I know what she is doing, but you know what? In some cases, that kind of behavior may result in a SAN check, so donât do it.
âW-what an insult to me, a precious saintâŠâ
Ellen, freed from the slime bed, is on all fours and shivering. The slime-style nose-teasing was a shock, apparently.
Me? Iâm being pulled out of the slime bed by Sylphyâs hands, and my slightly disheveled attire is being fixed. I have learned that at times like this, it is best to be honest and pampered, or rather, to leave things as they are done to me. Iâm a smart guy.
âAudience⊠No, weâre ready for the conversation. Come in.â
âRoger that.â
âUnderstood.â
Ellen snapped⊠and instantly went into expressionless saint mode. Itâs kind of funny to see Lime behind Ellen, stretching out her tentacles to fix Ellenâs disheveled attire. I mean, in that way, Lime seems to like Ellen quite a bit. I donât feel any kind of separation from Ellen from Beth, who has become Ellenâs bed, or from Poizo, who has become a comforter. In fact, they even seem to like her.
Did Ellen become good friends with Lime and the others while they were exchanging information with the Liberation Army in a way that I am not aware of? Or does Ellen also have something that makes the spirits like her? I guess it could be either.
I entered the room that had been frozen until a moment ago, thinking such things in the corner of my mindâŠ
âHmm!!â
I managed to hold back the thought that I was about to erupt.
Yes, Aquawill-san, well, thatâs okay. I mean, she is wearing a little frilly, or rather, the magical girl-like outfit I made for Isla before, but itâs okay. Itâs just a pretty dress, depending on how you look at it.
But Ifrita-san. Why are you wearing a red potato jersey? No, I think itâs a garment that seamlessly hides bare skin, but why the red jersey? Is it because her hair is red that she wore a red jersey as well? Red jerseys and elf princesses are too much of a mismatch.
ââŠWhat?â
âNothing.â
When I looked away, I saw Driada-san wearing a sleeveless knit sweater. Oh⊠excellent. I still think the choice is a mystery, but it suits her well. A vertical knit sweater on big boobs is the best, right?
âOuch.â
âYouâve seen too much.â
Sylphy pinched me on the thigh. I donât think Iâm staring at her as much as she says⊠See, Driada-san is squirming shyly because Sylphy said that.
âIt was a great cause. Kosuke-dono⊠No, Kosuke-sama.â
I was called and turned to the owner of the voice.
She was a beautiful person in any case⊠how should I put it. Her eyes are the same amber color as Sylphyâs, and each strand of her hair is like a shimmering silver thread. Yes, she is a woman with silver hair and amber eyes, just like Sylphy. Her face also looked somewhat like Sylphyâs. It is probably because they are mother and daughter.
She was wearing a black dress and smiling at me with a slightly melancholy smile. I kneeled down in front of her and lowered my head. Regardless of how she will be treated in the future, she is the wife of the late King of Merinard. I thought I should be as respectful as possible. I put aside for the moment the fact that I had been groping Sylphy and the fact that I had given the sisters an impolite look.
âI am not worthy of your kind words. I was born and raised in a different world from this world, so I may be a bit rude in many ways, but please forgive me.â
âThere is no need to be so formal. Sylphiel told me that without your help, it would have been difficult for Sylphiel to step on this land. Besides, you are a marebito, a visitor from another world, arenât you?â
âYes, well, yes.â
âThen, even more so. The real marebito are, in a sense, as authoritative as kingship⊠From what Sylphiel, Melty, and the others have told me, there is no doubt that you are a marebito.â

âThatâs⊠thatâs how it is, isnât it?â
âThat is what it is. Above all, you are Sylphielâs husband, arenât you? I have no interest in making my son-in-law kneel for my satisfaction.â
Seraphita-san smiled slightly. I wonder if it was a joke in her own way. I donât know how to react!
âIâd really like Kosuke to have a long talk with my dear mother and sister. But we donât have much time right now.â [T/n: Sylphy called her mother with Hahaue here.]
âYou can call me Mother as usual, okay?â [T/n: And Seraphita corrected it with Oka-sama.]
ââŠKosuke, Iâm sorry, but I need you to keep my late fatherâs body in your inventory. It will be safest to have you keep his body until we can hold a funeral for him.â
âSylphy-chan has been ignoring me⊠Dri, Sylphy-chan seems to be rebellious. What am I supposed to do?â
âMother. Sylphiel seems to be very busyâŠâ
Yoyoyo, Driada-san is appeasing Seraphita-san, who is making a fake cry. Hmm⊠I wonder if sheâs just acting tough. I guess she is trying to keep her grief over the loss of King Ixwil in the back of her mind and is trying to cheer up Sylphy, Driada-san, and the others by acting cheerful.
âI will follow Sylphy!â
The red jersey started to say something absurd.
âIf-aneesama?â
Aquawill-chan⊠I mean, san? The girl in the frilly, light blue, almost white, magical girl outfit looked up into the face of Ifrita-san, AKA the red jersey, who was standing by her side.
âBefore I went to sleep, Father told me to give up, but I wonât give up on fighting those people. This is a good opportunity; Iâll fight them too.â
The red jersey snorted as she said that. Well⊠I donât know much about Ifrita-san, so I canât say anything about her. From her name and appearance, I have an image that she seems to have a high affinity with fire spirits = high fighting ability, but I wonder how she really is. I think she might be a bit of a loose cannon because of her position as a princess, which would only bring trouble.
âIf-aneesama. Iâm sorry, but I want you to keep quiet for now. We canât waste any time now to take control of the whole of Merinesburg.â
âSylphiel, youâve grown a lot in size and attitude in the little time Iâve been away from you, havenât you? Just leave it to me. I will burn all the people of the Holy Kingdom with my spirit magic.â
Saying that, Ifrita-san was puffing out her thin chest. Hmm, this is a bad one, isnât it? I gently looked at Melty and Isla, but both of them closed their eyes, shook their heads, and made troubled expressions. I see. I grasped it.
âSylphy. Weâll take care of the situation in Merinesburg, so you can spend your time with your family.â
After saying that, I glanced at Ifrita-san. When she saw me looking at her, she hugged herself as if to protect herself and let out a cat-like growl. It was like she was a cat or something.
ââŠHaha.â
âHey, wait a minute, where did you just look and laugh? Iâm going to kill you.â
âWell then, Sylphy, please.â
âOh.â
âWait a minute â Whoaa! Thatâs powerful! Hey, Sylphiel, when did you turn into an Ogre?â
âFufufu⊠Ifrita-aneesama. Shall we play a little?â
âIâm not in the mood⊠hey, ouch. What are you â Aahh!?â
The red jersey screams coming from behind are shut out by closing the heavy door.
âLime, Beth, Poizo. Iâll leave the defense of this place to you.â
âLeave it to me, okay?â
âIt canât be helped.â
âI understand-nodesu.â
âIsla, Melty, Ellen, and Ms. Zamir. Letâs go.â
Letâs do what we have to do while Sylphy is restraining the cannonball.
