I don’t know where to start.

 

I’m not sure if I should go into the publisher who created it, the fantasy resident who bought it, or the fact that she tried to put it into practice and chose me as her target.

 

Well, either way, all I can reply to that is,

 

 

“How are you faring?” (Jiro)

 

“I think you know better than I do, right?” (Memoria)

 

“If so, think things through a little more.” (Jiro)

 

“Then, I thought of another method.” (Memoria)

 

 

There is no choice but to ask her not to.

 

 

“If possible, I’d rather you didn’t do that.” (Jiro)

 

 

Oh, my right arm is being sandwiched between fun-filled mounds.

 

 

“I’ll give up the first spot, so if you give me the second spot, I’m fine with that.” (Memoria)

 

“When you say that, I can’t help but think about it.” (Jiro)

 

 

Yes, let’s wait a minute, fantasy person.

 

This is Japan, but why does the conversation move about a fantasy trope, you’re also ignoring the will of the person involved.

 

Suela glances over here, so it seems that she wished to be included in the conversation for the time being.

 

 

“Ah, I’m quite delighted as a man, but unfortunately I don’t have the motivation to support two at present.” (Jiro)

 

“Isn’t it common practice in Japan to work together? Also don’t worry, I have enough savings to support my own children.” (Memoria)

 

“Oh, that’s right… damn it! You’re strangely knowledgeable about the situation in Japan. But my pride as a provider is being torn to shreds!?” (Jiro)

 

 

I guess it was a bad thing that I responded in a way that could be taken as either Japanese who can’t say no or Japanese who is indecisive, but I was proposed to in a roundabout manner.

 

 

“…Why me?” (Jiro)

 

 

That said, my face is barely above average, and it is not well proportioned as a model’s face, and I don’t have a particularly charming personality nor do I have financial power.

 

In terms of the Demon King’s army’s standard, my strength would be in the bottom category.

 

If you look at it objectively, it is strange that I can create an atmosphere in which I can marry two beautiful women, albeit indirectly, like this.

 

I gulped down the drink in my other hand, cooled down a bit, and asked her why.

 

From my point of view, I don’t remember doing anything special. I felt like she was a good friend of mine who worked at the store.

 

 

“Huh? You approached me, and I merely responded.” (Memoria)

 

“What!? That hurts, it hurts !? Suela, that’s only a piece of testimonial evidence that doesn’t prove I’ve done the worst thing a man can do! Give me a chance to explain myself!” (Jiro)

 

“What the hell are you doing?” (Karen)

 

“Oh? It’s all a bit crazy here, isn’t it, Leader?” (Minami)

 

“It looks fun~ Suela~ What are you doing?” (Kaley)

 

 

The whole thing turned out to be a disaster for the man who was caught cheating on his wife.

 

The rest of the team, with the exception of Kaido, arrive at the wrong time.

 

 

“I demand an explanation.” (Suela)

 

“No, I have no idea!?” (Jiro)

 

“E-x-p-l-a-i-n?” (Kaido)

 

“What did you really do? Are you really having an affair too?” (Karen)

 

“Wow, Leader did?” (Minami)

 

“Leader.” (Masaru)

 

“Jiro? Let’s decide the second wife at least after explaining to Suela.” (Kaley)

 

 

I feel like my stock price is going down like crazy right now!

 

Also, Kaley, there’s something wrong with what you’re saying!

 

The happiness-filled mounds tightened and made my right arm creak, yet I now possess the obstinacy and fortitude to endure it.

 

So, I dig up my memory to defend myself against the pain radiating from my arm, but I can’t remember a thing.

 

Approach?

 

Approach, approach, ah!

 

 

“…!?” (Jiro)

 

“Do you remember?” (Memoria)

 

“Is it during our first meeting!? But that was just something I did on the spur of the moment!?” (Jiro)

 

“Is that so?” (Memoria)

 

 

The moment I remembered the incident I thought my arm was broken, but miraculously I was safe.

 

They seemed to listen to me.

 

It’s a good thing that I didn’t have to answer any questions, but it would have been a disaster if I had been found guilty.

 

 

“Haha, that’s it? That time when you weren’t ready for the store, I helped you put out the merchandise. That was when I was just starting out.” (Jiro)

 

“That’s right.” (Memoria)

 

 

If I remember and look at it objectively or from the perspective of Memoria, it does look like I was a man who was trying to approach a woman in a very clumsy way.

 

After that, all the loot I got from the dungeon had been exchanged for cash at Memoria’s place.

 

Since there was no convenient cash exchange like at an Adventurer’s Guild, I ended up selling it to Memoria at her shop, which seemed to indicate that I was a guy who was still continuing on pursuing her.

 

I also remember chatting with her and asking Memoria about her life while she was doing the assessment.

 

 

“That’s it?” (Jiro)

 

“Yes.” (Memoria)

 

“But, that’s…”

 

“What is it?” (Memoria)

 

“Isn’t it just a misunderstanding?

 

“Ah, that’s the case.” (Memoria)

 

 

When I told them how the approach was made, the members, with the exception of Suela and Memoria, were confused between conviction and doubt.

 

The only one who seemed to have an idea was Kaley, who was in charge of human resources.

 

It prevented the stock price from falling, but I feel like my indescribable mature man’s pride was hurt.

 

 

“So, what do you want to do, Jiro?” (Suela)

 

“What do you mean… um, Suela?” (Jiro)

 

 

Am I being asked if I am planning on having an affair based on her question?

 

Then the answer is no.

 

I still like Suela and I’m not going to flirt with anyone else.

 

Doesn’t she know that?

 

No, Suela was calm.

 

Am I cheating? I don’t think so, because I’ve been doing it since before we started going out, but I think she’s calm since she found out that I didn’t intend to actually do anything.

 

 

“As for me, I’m fine with it as long as you take it seriously.” (Suela)

 

“Wha?” (Jiro)

 

“I’m your first wife, that I am!” (Suela)

 

“Wow, gaining two wives, how amazing.” (Jiro)

 

“Hey, Minami, don’t shout in my ear, it hurts. I can’t hear anything.” (Jiro)

 

 

I calmly pushed the bomb away.

 

Instead, I started to get confused, but she didn’t seem to stop.

 

 

“If you refuse her feelings because of me here, it would mean that I’ve changed your mind. I don’t want to do that.” (Suela)

 

“Oh, how sweet, that it is.” (Minami)

 

“Oh, waitress. Give me a beer. I can’t do this without it.” (Kaido)

 

“I have iced coffee.” (Masaru)

 

“You’ve grown up.” (Kaley)

 

 

Regardless of the side comments, the conversation moves on.

 

 

“And I’m sure she’s given it a lot of thought, and I know you wouldn’t neglect me. So please, will you take her thoughts seriously?” (Suela)

 

 

She and the others, the inhabitants of Ithar, have a common sense that this kind of thing is not a problem as long as both parties approve of it.

 

So she must have meant what she said.

 

I can’t throw away the possibility that she’s testing me.

 

 

“…” (Jiro)

 

 

I don’t think that’s a possibility.

 

 

I looked straight into Suela’s eyes, and she actually meant it.
