Arrive in the maritime trade city of Pyreneus

　I was stressed out by the fact that I had 12 beautiful and adorable wives in the rear... I finally arrived at Pyreneus to ask Toshiaki-san for additional research information.

　But the situation is very different from what I expected.

　I'm a current investigator for the Goddess, so I thought it would be difficult for Toshiaki, who has abandoned his duties, to meet me. But on the contrary, I was ambushed at the entrance of the city and welcomed with open arms. I should have been wary of this odd welcome.

　And now, when Toshiaki-san tells me that he has something only I can talk about, he takes me to his favorite bar, and I listen to him complain about it.

I wish I could have met a Japanese person and listened to his hardships.　There are so many different cultures in this world!

　I'm not the one who complains.
　Why do I have to listen to the rear-enders complain about it?

　Many empty mugs are lined up in front of Toshiaki-san, and he has become an unruly drunkard. He wanted me, a Japanese man, to secretly listen to his problems in his wife's absence.

　By the way, Madoha insists that I need to take measures against harem infection and is lurking in my pocket. Nowadays, she's the best way to get out of this situation.

''That's my feeling too, but the culture of Ares has an ancient Roman feel to it. Toshiaki-san is well versed in European history as a hobby and is fluent in Latin, and he was also a trading company man on Earth who worked in Europe and held on to Middle Eastern culture, right?　Isn't that better than me?

　I can't wait to switch from being a listener to being heard!
　Toshiaki, please listen to my stories, right?

'No, no, no, it's definitely similar, but I'm mainly medieval history, and there's even magic here, so it's totally different!　Furthermore, this world has twelve wives, all of whom are legitimate wives, which means they are all treated equally and treated the same as me!

　Akan, this trend is very unpleasant. Besides, he's already gone from being a rear-end worker to a complete free wife beater...

'In addition, each wife has two children and 12 wives to live on, plus child support for 24 children. This is all to be provided for by the family of a Roberto Chamber of Commerce executive with the appropriate treatment?　If you're inferior to your co-workers, you'll have an instant marital quarrel, and if your child enrolls in school, it'll be a horrible amount of money on top of the tuition fees!

　Oh, I want to cover my ears, I don't want to hear this!
　This is the kind of thing that makes you marriage phobic...
　If you're a former hottie, at least be an ikemen!

　Well, you know, that being said, I can understand the struggle, right?　As I recall, Toshiaki-san is the director and director of the Roberto Trading Company's Perulonia Trading Department, a merchant who ships himself and earns a high salary. Still, it's hard to have 12 wives and 24 children... I think it's a nightmare, to be honest.

'Wow, that's a lot of work. I'm unmarried and I can't even imagine it!　By the way, about the investigation...

　But you're not going to hit me with that!
　It's a hassle, so I changed the subject with no disrespect. But .....

'Moreover, one of the wives has an older sister whose husband has died and she's struggling to make ends meet, so she wants Mrs. 13 to take care of her!　This is a money grabber and not love anymore, isn't it?

　The word "investigation" has been swept under the rug.
　I guess I'll just have to ask...
　I've been tricked by the goddess, apparently.


*The b*tc*ing continues, which could end at any moment.

　It's been, what, an hour already?　I've only said about [hee-so-hmm], but it's not over yet.

　The current topic is the language of the household.

　The magicians in this world work very hard to shorten the chanting. So, Toshiaki taught his wives modern Japanese abbreviations and various hieroglyphics as a reference for shortening their chanting. I've heard of the examples: negoro, reschedule, attach....

　Is that really Japanese?
　I'm Japanese, but even I don't know what that means.
　Well, I'm a bit of a trendy person, even Naruhaya, but I've only recently learned about it.

　Even so, Toshiaki-san seems to have understood the words created by his wives. When abbreviations first started to be used....

　However, in the blink of an eye, the language has become increasingly compressed, and before long it has developed to a level that makes it difficult to even have a domestic conversation. Furthermore, the conversations were even more unintelligible, and there were rumors from the neighbors that he was addicted to the evil religion or not....

　That's why the chanting time has been reduced and made more convenient, but [don't bring it into the family conversation! And he is drunk and forceful.

　Me, I'm at the end of my rope........ I lightly tap my pockets to get Window Flowers to help me. But the contents have changed from window flowers to a note.

The contents of the memo
　No risk of infection. Window flowers]
　.........Yes, there is no danger.

　After that, Toshiaki-san's complaining shows no signs of ending, and even though I've heard a lot of things to the point of being disgusted, I still don't seem to be running out of material. Still, I've heard the contents of the story in one way or another.

　It's the result of Toshiaki's buying a dozen talented and beautiful ex-slave girls, and eventually he officially married them all.

　If it was a complaint from someone who would get bored and throw them away, I'd be long gone. But I've freed them from slavery, married them, and taken responsibility for them. Ultimately, it's a love marriage that the other person wanted me to have.

　The trouble is, I think that's admirable, and I'm willing to help out a little. Besides, I've been blessed with a lot of friends and circumstances lately, and I feel fulfilled to a different degree. I don't feel as jealous as I used to...

　It can't be helped. It's a bit of a hassle, but I'll help where I can. You owe me one, right?

Toshiaki, you might be able to save yourself some trouble. It makes my family a little uneasy.

　To put the story in perspective, the cause is the propagation of easy culture and technology. If we can get it to stop, we might be able to solve the problem.

'Really!　.... well, that's the way it is, but will the family only have to worry?

　I may complain, but I'm definitely worried about my wife...
　This would be worth Toshiaki's help.

''I'm just worried. Toshiaki-san isn't an investigator anymore, and that's why the plan is to use that as an excuse to make the word a technology propagation violation. Convince your wife that I'll be coming to investigate on behalf of the Goddess, and that Toshiaki-san will be arrested if things are discovered.

　You can do whatever you want with the goddess's approval and she'll help you a little.

'I see!　There's a lot of Japanese knowledge and technology in our lives now, and it's also a source of trouble. But we are in need of cannons and ships...

I wouldn't go that far, sir. Ships and cannons were allowed in the first place, so let's keep them out of the equation. Besides, it's all an act, right?

　Hey, it's a problem-solving play, so why would I want to make a meal of it?

'Oh, sure!　As much as I've taught my wife in this world, it has little effect on my work. It's more of a problem that can be solved!　Thank you, Ryota-san, thank you!

　The wives will put up with it if their husbands are in danger, though it will lower their standard of living a little. The story was decided in such a way, the content of the play was decided, it promised to go to the investigation tomorrow afternoon, and it was dismissed.

　The Japanese investigator comes to investigate the rule violation of the husband. If there's a chance of being arrested, the wives will stop using Earth references, useful tools and strange abbreviations.
