A short time after the otherworldly army was annihilated.
　Since then, the attacks on the facility have ceased abruptly.
　I guess my plan worked, and a good number of the royals went down for dead.

　They won't be exterminated, as expected, but it's more like a good thing.
　At best, we'll be fighting over who's left behind.

　Now, we need to expedite our plans before the unresisting slaves are killed.
　So we're preparing for what's directly above the facility at a rapid pace.

'Whoa, Sacagawea!　What is this thing you're making?

　Braid-chan made a face.
　She must have come to hear that it was almost safe on earth with the warding in place.

'A bit of equipment you'll need for emancipation.
But how did you get something this big?

　Braid-chan looks up at the sky.
　My device looks like a tower high in the sky.

'I'm using my craft,'
'Kraft!　...Craft?
Well, in short, the ability to process materials and do a lot of construction work.
Wow!

　Braid-chan's eyes twinkled.

'You can do anything you want, Sacagawea, can't you?
'Oh no, haha. Well, you can't do everything.

　If I could, I'd be back in the same world I came from.
　I miss the chicken.

"Mr. Sacagawea, Mr. Sacagawea, Mr. Sacagawea!

　He clutches at me, excited to see what makes him happy.

'Oh, what?'
How come you have so many abilities?
Yeah. To tell you the truth, this isn't the first time I've been summoned to another world.
Really?

　Well, it's not like I have anything to hide.

I could hardly do anything at first, but I worked hard and got a little bit stronger.
"Fluffy!

　Hmmmm.
　If you give me a twinkle in your eye, that would damage my fragile heart.

Wow, wow!　Will I ever be able to do that?
I think anyone with time, opportunity, patience, and a willingness to kill could be as good as me.

　If you survive thousands of years of actual training and hundreds of loops, I think any guy can at least level-can do it.

''I'm willing to do it!

　Hmm, I don't know why, but I don't think the message is getting through.

Well, it's important to have uninterrupted motivation.
'Motivation!　.... motivation?

　Oh, why is this girl's motivation so delicious?　You're probably making a face.
　I watched him grunt and groan for a while, and then he popped his hand.
　He seems to have come to a conclusion.


Oh, yes.

　Hmmm, it's kind of comforting.
　I can't help it, I'll be sorry to say goodbye if I get too attached to him.
　Maybe I'll ask her out.
　But you know what?

I mean... what the hell are they doing?

　I thought I could feel eyes on me, but when I looked, I saw a woman and a child looking at me and cackling.
　d*mn, those guys are using people as bait.

　Oh, this kind of atmosphere is not good!
　I need to be in a more bleak world or I'll rot.
　I need to get rid of this world as soon as possible.



I mean, shouldn't we be the ones to hit them?
No, I think we should wait a little more carefully.

　I went downstairs to relax for a bit, and the corner cutter and the handsome guy were doing another ken-ken roar.
　I think it's time to tell them about what's going to happen.

Hey, guys. I need to talk to you about something.
Oh, Sacagawea!　Ask me anything you want.
We can help you.
Oh, yeah.

　How come these guys are so friendly all of a sudden when I'm here?
　Well, I don't want to get in the way of men getting along with each other. As long as it doesn't involve me.

"In fact, I took the liberty of attacking the royal castle on my own.
What?
'Seriously?　No loose ends....

　Something about the horncutter was groggy, but the handsome man nodded thoughtfully.

'So, thanks to Sakahagi's attacks on us, they've stopped attacking us?
That's what I meant.
It wasn't the warding that did it?

　Well, as Hornblower says, that might be part of it.

'So, about the future. As a matter of fact, when we attacked the kingdom, we destroyed the mother system that controls the slaves.

　Lies, of course.
　The ring and the collar are independent, and no such device exists.

'Maybe in a little while all the slaves in the world will be automatically freed.
Really?

　Hornblower whistled in delight, but the handsome man's face turned blue.

''Oh no ... you'll be in big trouble if that happens!

　........Exactly.
　All of the summoned slaves being used in this country at the moment will suddenly awaken to their own selves.
　The freed slaves will be confused and there will be quite a bit of blood flowing, no doubt about it.
　Even if it's just for free, the treatment of the slaves will be worse because of me.

'I know. That's why they're building that tower. It's a device to call the freed slaves.

　This is partly true and partly false.
　The magic waves transmitted by that tower can be used to free slaves on a global scale by using the master authority of the ring.
　In other words, freeing slaves is not done by destroying the non-existent mother system, but by that tower.
　In addition, the slaves will learn all the circumstances and the coordinates of this place.

"We will use this as a base to expand our territory. That's why the wards can be extended from the tower, bit by bit.

　In short, that tower is a device that will continue to handle the aftermath of my disappearance as it is.
　The moment I send out the emancipation signal, I'll probably be summoned to another world.
　That's why it's my kind-hearted consideration to at least provide aftercare.

　If I honestly told them that I would forcibly free all the slaves in the tower, the handsome man would definitely object and Braid would cry a lot.
　But it's an absolutely necessary process to accomplish my pledge to destroy slavery in the short term.
　I'm sorry to everyone, but I've made up a set up that the slaves will eventually be freed.

'So ... it's probably going to cause quite a mess. So I'm going to take the blame and hand the leader over to one of you.
No!
Are you kidding me?

　The two of them scream.

'If you're going to take responsibility, I'd rather you finish the job.

　At the handsome man's accusatory gaze, I can only shake my head.

''I'm ... sorry. To tell the truth, due to circumstances on my part, I won't be in this world any time soon.

　That I am an otherworldly tripper.
　I am a being who is forcibly summoned to various worlds, makes good on my vows there, and then disappears.
　I told that to both of them.

''So that's what happened...''

　Ah, the good-looking, probing look.
　Maybe he realized that I was lying.
　But he doesn't pursue it any further. It's a handsome guy. I think he also realizes that even though the short term sacrifice and confusion is great, the sacrifice is less than releasing them one by one, little by little.

'Don't be silly!'

　The one who pounced on me was surprisingly a corner cutter.
　Hmm, I thought he was the kind of guy who would be happy if only he could free his slaves.
　But the direction of the corner cutter's anger was not what I expected.

'Well then, that guy!　What will happen to Ituna's feelings!
...It's Itsuna?

　I couldn't help but ask back.
　Are you a braided girl by any chance?
　As expected, he didn't think I couldn't remember his name, but he still grabbed me by the breastplate.

'Hey, say something!　You know what I mean, you know that, don't you!
No!　Calm down!

　The handsome man seizes the corner cutter with a feather-light stranglehold.

　Oh that's what I thought.
　I thought the handsome guy and the corner cutter were in sync with the yakuza in front of me.
　I guess it was because I was rooting for them, braids.

　But hey, I'm sorry.
　I'm not the kind of guy who gets cheered on with your precious friends, I'm not the kind of guy who gets cheered on with your precious friends, you know.
　I'm not the kind of guy who will eat any girl who comes along with me, no matter what.

　Well, I know the line that wakes these guys up.
　It's not cheat or magic.
　Trying to keep my cool, I put my face close to the rampaging cornucopia and say one word.

'I'm a married man.'
!

　The horn-cutter's movements came to a halt.
　The same handsome man as well.

'Is there anything else?'
No....

　I was just about to say, "Well, let's break it up then," when there was a clatter.

''Oh, um...''

　She was a braided girl.

'I'm sorry!'

　He continued to run off.
　I looked at the handsome man and the corner cutter and looked at him accusingly as if to tell him to chase after them.

　.........
　.........
　.........Can I tell you one thing?

　I can't stand serious and romantic comedies!



What are you doing here?

　Braid-chan was sitting a bit at the top of the tower.
　At the question to her back, Braids didn't look back.

'It's a nice view out here,'

　And that's all Braid said.
　It was definitely a nice view.
　I know they live in a shitty place, but a sunset sky is a beautiful thing in any world.

'I see,'

　I return that much too.
　After a few moments of silence, Braid slowly turned around.

'Are you going away?'
Yeah.

　He doesn't mock himself, but responds nonchalantly.

'I can't stay in one world,'
I wish you had said something sooner.
Bad.

　Silence again.

'If...'

　Braid stammered.

'What if. What would you do if I asked you to take me with you?



Yeah, that's good.
Huh?



　The braids were taken aback by my simple reply.
　It was a bit of a nice vibe, and then all at once, I'm dumbfounded.
　But that's okay. I'll just let it continue to be my pace, because that's what I always do!

But there are rules.

　One," he declares, holding up a finger.

'Rule number one, I only take women who agree to be my wife, basically.
　Rule 2: I'll do whatever it takes to fulfill my pledge. Don't bring your moral compass into it.
　Rule 3: I will lie to you often. I won't tell you the whole truth. But don't question it.
　Rule number four, I already have several wives. Be nice to them.
　Rule 5: Don't refuse anything I ask of you. Always be ready for the night.
　Rule 6: I don't make you happy. You ought to make yourselves happy.
　Rule 7: Sometimes I put my unneeded wife in the sealing beads while she's sleeping. When she wakes up, don't complain about it, even if it's been a hundred years.
　Rule number one . I'll make more rules without asking. And when I do, you're gonna be the ones to shut up and follow them.
　That's all. If I find you can't do a single thing, I'm leaving you behind in that world. Any questions?

　Silence, silence, a much longer silence than before.
　But it wasn't meaningful, it was just like incomprehensible.

'Well ... no, it's like I only have questions. Eh, wife?

　Braid, who had finally come to her senses and returned to this world, blinked her eyes.

''Yes, my wife. To tell the truth, I'm married to several women, and I carry them around in an item called a sealing bead.
'That's not the way to treat your wife!
Nothing. Easy on me.

　To tell you the truth, there's a bit of a reason for that, but I have no intention of telling you at this point.
　I have a right to privacy.

"Isn't it normal to say you only have one wife?
Unfortunately, we're a polygamist. It's called a harem, and it's a proper and venerable form of marriage.
'Really?　That would be fine then.

　Oh, that makes sense to me.

'I'm sorry, tell me the rules from earlier one more time!　I'll write it down.
Uh-huh.

　Well, I can say it over and over again by the way, and that's fine.

"Well, I understand the first one, and I don't know what the second one is, but I'll do my best, and the third...
What's the matter, give up?
No, I don't doubt it because I don't know if it's a lie or not. I don't doubt it.

　Is that supposed to be okay?

'I'm confident in four!　By the way, what's this 5........getting ready for the night?
When you say night with your wife, you're talking about s*x.

　You're gonna blush, Kukku.

"s*x!　........s*x?

　I mean, you don't know!
　You'd think someone of Braid's age would know that.
　You said something about an institution, so it's possible that she hasn't been educated in the school system?
　Somehow I feel different.........

'Uh ... you're a toddler and I don't mind no rule 5.'
'Why!　You're making me so angry!　I'm a proper adult and ... rule five, I'll work hard at night!

　Oh, I see.
　Let's give it a go.

"Rule 6 is fine!　By the way, Rule 7 this!　Mr. Sacagawea can live for a hundred years!　I'm more concerned about that one.
I'll live. I'm an immortal.
Wow, you're really something.

　I'm not going to get any praise for this, you son of a b*tc*.
　In the meantime, I explained the Rule 2 pledge again.
　But he doesn't seem to understand it very well, so maybe I'll take more time to explain this again sometime.

'I mean, rule number one is the worst!

　Oof, braids suddenly started laughing.
　Have you lost your mind?

''Hahahaha, I'm so disillusioned with this, it's disgusting!
'Right?　But not a single joke.

　Even though I threatened to not laugh at her, Braids continued to laugh.

''I mean, there are so many girls who follow me on these terms.
No, they don't come around that often.

　The braids look intently at the notepad, and I can't help but be serious.
　It's a requirement to make it real and sift through it originally.
　It's super easy to get rejected than to get dumped.
　And the women who follow me for underestimating the rules are usually the ones who release me.

So what do we do?

　Part of me was trying to get him to give up, but he was very excited.

"I'll come with you.

　It was an immediate answer I didn't expect.
　And it was a clean smile, with no hesitation at all.

"You'll never see those guys again.
I know.

　He turns his usual sparkling eyes on me.
　Well, glare!

If you're with Mr. Sacagawea, you won't regret it!
I don't know. I think it was just a youthful indiscretion.

　I sputtered and smiled, "Moo! He puffed up his cheeks and smacked me.
　What is this guy, he's super cute.
　.... but yeah.
　And he agreed, so it's okay to take it home.
　If he's okay with it, I don't have to say anything.

Well, I guess it's time to go.
Oh, no!　I haven't even said goodbye to everyone yet or anything.

　I decided to give Braid, who was flustered by the suddenness of the situation, one last chance.

'Nah, not like that. We basically do what we have to do and then move on to the next one. Do you still want to stop?
No, I'm coming!

　Yeah.
　You're really taking the plunge.
　Well, I don't know how far you can keep up with me, but it looks like you're fully qualified to be my wife at this point.

Good.

　I nodded and turned on the tower.
　This would free the slaves in this other world from their brainwashing and send a message in their heads to come here.
　I don't know how many slaves will be able to get there, but, well, it depends on their luck and ability.

Here.

　I hold out my hand to Braid.

'What?'
Hold my hand. Come on, we're going to be left behind in the world migration.
Oh, yeah!

　He squeezes my hand without hesitation.

''Ehehee.''

　He looked up at me, smiling happily.
　Hey, I don't hate you.
　I want to protect you, that smile.

Here it comes.

　A magic circle at my feet.
　The summons from the next world.

Goodbye, everyone!

　She was a little tearful, but braids... no.
　Ituna neatly waved to the world she was in and her friends.
