Immediately after we were summoned, we were ushered into the audience chamber.

'Well done, brave man, for answering the summons.

　Yeah, yeah.
　The usual royal summons.
　I even feel nostalgic.
　Maybe it was because the last time and the previous two other worlds were too dense, but I even felt a strange sense of relief.

　However, for one reason or another, I kept a somewhat nervous face and bowed to the king of the throne.

''You want me to say that you want me to defeat the Demon King?''
Mm, you're right.

　After that, the conversation continued to go smoothly.
　As usual, I just listen to the stories with proper nouns mixed in, but I start to summarize the story with a brief summary.

In that case, we'll head out to defeat the Demon King right away.
Ummm, thanks for talking so quickly, but are you sure?

　The king nodded his head in disbelief at me nodding honestly without a single complaint.

''Good or not, if the Demon King is on the rampage, I can't leave him alone as a brave man.
Oh...!

　Not only the king, but also the surrounding subjects expressed their admiration at my brave remarks.

　Of course, I didn't spout this cold nonsense out of a sense of duty.
　I just want to put together a good deal that I've got together without any trouble.

　The pledges and pledges are clear, and what we need to do is simple.
　Ah, the slaying of the Demon King. What a cheap shot!

One last thing?

　As I turn on my heel to leave briskly, the king throws a few extra words at my back.

　The usual royal summoning.
　The usual slaying of the demon king.
　The situation that has been repeated thousands of times and tens of thousands of times, where the king asks me to defeat the demon king as a brave man.

　

'I have heard that those beside you have been summoned together...'

　The one who was standing at the end of the king's gaze was a sorceress-like girl with a black sash tied at the end of her purple robe, at first glance.
　She is a beautiful girl with purple hair like her clothes and translucent white skin.

''........Yes, I'm your wife.''

　When I had no choice but to tell them the facts briefly, no small amount of jealousy mixed in with the gazes of those around me, including the king.

''I'm sorry for the delay in greeting you,''

　Eva laughs with a bouncy voice.
　The oldest daughter-in-law who would cry and beg for her life even for the highest god if she knew her true identity.
　The irregularity is so great that its existence alone can completely change the state of the world.

I'm sorry to meet you, king. The brave man who has been introduced to you is my wife, Evangeline.

　Ava smiled and took a graceful bow, pinching the hem of her skirt.
　Everyone except me gasped at the perfection of her every move.

'Please, goodness.'
Yeah?

　Perhaps the king was knocked out by Eva's beauty, but he made the proposal I was most afraid of.

''What do you think, my brave lord? It will be a dangerous journey to defeat the demon king. In the meantime, you may have your wife stay in my castle.
No, no, that's not necessary.
Well, are you sure?

　Eva deliberately interrupts my refusal and claps her hands as if she's thrilled by the king's spirit.

'If that's the case, I will be grateful to stay.
Oh, I see. That's better.

　After making sure the king nodded in satisfaction, Eva spun around and jumped into my chest.

''Ah, you, sir. I am sad to see you go out to slay the Demon King right away. Let's say one last goodbye for tonight at least, before we go to defeat the Demon King.
Oh, yeah.

　I couldn't say anything back to Eva's serious eyes as she stared up at me.

''Your wife has a point. The brave lord won't be in that much of a hurry either.''
"But we can't just let the people suffer at the hands of the Demon King...

　The king also felt the urge to do so, so he tried a final resistance, even though he knew it was futile.

'No, no, if you think about it, the brave lord should know nothing about this world. It would be better for the people in the end if we made all preparations.

　Kuh, when you say that........
　No, if it's just the king, I can butch it up with room to spare!

Dear sir, please.

　Eva's eyes wavered as she looked up at me.
　I couldn't help but let out a sigh at her twin eyes, which were black like Renmi's and held pure wishful thinking.

''Well I get it.
Thank you.

　Eva smiles like a flower at my reply.
　It was like a girl of her age.

　That's why ... farewell, good case.
　The daily transition is a long way off.

　The only thing I'm going to tell you is that I'm Ryouji Gyakushige, an otherworldly tripper who is just passing through.
　Please.



I'm sorry, Master. I'm sorry to have caused you to be so selfish.

　As soon as we were ushered into the guest room and it was just the two of us, Eva bowed her head in a really apologetic way.

''It's fine.''

　Yeah, it's always the same thing.

'I'm not going to break rule two and rule six,'

　Eva's eyebrows drop as she raises her head, her eyes are filled with sadness.

'I know,'

　For this girl, the harem rules are absolute.
　Naturally, the target of the rules includes Eva herself.
　That's why I'm talking about the 'lonely' comment I made earlier as a tatemae...that's what I'm talking about.

'As a place to continue the training of Ituna-san and Sianne-san, the castle was somehow convenient for them to continue their training.

　This isn't a lie either.
　He will probably extend his stay for some reason in the future, and in the meantime, he will let his new bride sneak in as a maid and train as a bride.
　And even after I have fulfilled my pledge, I will continue to stay in this world.
　Ava would have my coordinates, so I can join her in a dimensional transfer when I'm done with her.
　Once I summon Ituna and Cyanne, things will be back to normal.

　This won't get in my way, so it won't violate rule 2, and if what I said earlier was a lie, it doesn't violate rule 6 either.
　At first glance, it looks like there's nothing wrong with that.

''Of course, the master is free to slip out of the castle and head for the extermination of the demon king. Even if it's later tonight--
Eva.

　I hug Ava tightly as she continues to try her best to keep her cool.

''Ma, Master!''

　Ava sounded surprised as she reacted with a startled bike-like reaction to her shoulder.

'You're always bad,'

　Eva's whole body trembled at the words of consolation.

'No, no Master. No such thing.'

　Eva mutters in a faint voice with a dreamy expression on her face.
　I put my hand around the girl's back and cage my strength slightly.
　The body she held for the first time in about three and a half years felt very soft.

'Tonight is rule five.'
Oh, Master...
We've known each other a long time, you know.

　At first glance, Eva appears to be almost expressionless and acting in a clerical manner.
　However, if you observe her closely, she is actually very expressive and her emotions are very up and down.

　Whenever Eva makes a proposal like the one she just made, she usually has a hint of sadness in her heart.
　The story about her staying in the castle to train as a bride is not a lie.
　But the lines she said in front of the king for that purpose were her true intentions disguised as pretense.

　Of course I wouldn't point out such impudence.
　If I did, Eva would be worried about Rule 6.

　It's only Rule 5 that embraces Eva.
　It has to be my selfishness.
　In this way, Eva can follow the rules and fulfill her true desires.

　Naturally, I have to give up the shortest possible attack on another world.
　But so what.
　If I don't make my precious woman's wishes come true, whose wishes will I make come true?

"Yes I love you, Master.

　Gazing at Eva's supercilious expression, it seems to me that it's okay.
　There is no way you can wear Eva up your sleeve, even though she is the most distant being from humanity.......no, that's why she turns her pure affection on you.

　But it's also true that you can't go on if you're drowning in Eva.
　We both know that, so we have no choice but to keep this kind of distance between us.

　This is one of the reasons why we have to preserve Eva, one of the most powerful old wives, in the sealing beads.

　And another reason.........

''Fuhahahaha!　Do you hear me, hero!　I know you're in there!

　He was just about to kiss Eva on the mouth when he heard a grating voice and an explosion from outside.

'I am Abizal Death Jie-General is part of the wing, Ordante!　Brave man, come out!　If you don't come out, all the people in the castle will be killed!

　After saying no to Eva, I opened the window and saw countless armies filling the sky, buzzing and beating the wind with their leather wings.
　At the center of it all, a red demon with a huge physique was screaming something incomprehensible while stagnating on bat-like wings.

The only thing I can think of is that the Demon King side has sensed the summoning. Well, if it's a guy with that level of magical wave action, I'll be able to immediately.........................that's Eva?

　I turned around and Ava was gone.
　I looked out the window once more at the unpleasant feeling.

''--Mana Aldante Miazuma. You interrupted my meeting with the master.

　Geez, Eva!
　When did you go to the sky.......well, it's a dimensional transfer, I know.

'Hmm?　What a kid. How did you know my full name...

　A huge demon reminiscent of a pole graduate from hell who called himself Ordante mocked the purple girl in front of him.
　The difference in size between the two sides facing each other in the sky is like an elephant and an ant.
　If you think of the demon's family members who fly around like a cloud haze, it's a desperate scene no matter how one looks at it.
　The only people who are aware of the fact that the situation is the complete opposite are me and Eva, who is at the center of the situation.

"I don't think it's possible, but you're not the brave one, Keke!

　Chigaymas, ordantesan.
　Mottos deserve to die.

He deserves to die. I am not going to kill you easily but I am going to send you into chaos.

　Ava, who was already carrying the Galactic Tincture and the Book of Genrei, started chanting the incantation all the way to the top.

'Come to the source of truth, chaos, the gods of the gates--'

　Eva doesn't have a no-chanting cheat, but for reasons that have nothing to do with that, she can use all kinds of magic unconditionally... and in no time.
　The reason she's chanting despite this is because the magic Eva is trying to use is not the otherworldly magic that exists in this universe.
　The girl is currently "creating" a new source of magic (the original) and using it on an ongoing basis.

　Maybe it's lucky.
　Even though it's a non-existent magic, you can tell what kind of magic it is by listening to the chanting content, and you can deal with it appropriately before it's activated.
　It seems to be a summoning magic........

''--Nacht, Nai, Earl, Steep!　Nacht, Nye, Earl, Suthep!

　Geez, an evil god from outer space, of all places!
　Moreover, from the sound of the chanting, it doesn't use or control anything, but really just summons the gods.
　In other words, Eva is creating a magic that invites the evil gods who are bored with the eternal time and recommends them to "go ahead and rampage as much as you want".

　Needless to say, it's bad.
　If the main body of that thing comes out, the human world will end, not to mention the armies in front of us.
　But it's impossible for me to stop the current Eva without killing her.
　I'm not going to be able to stop it, but I'm not going to be able to stop it either.

　It's always my role to clean up Eva's messy mess.
　It's a badge of honor for a husband to ruin the world with his wife's oita.

　I'm convinced that the evil gods summoned by the swell of magic power will come from above the sky, so I set up a ward as if I were creating the ground right underneath Eva and her enemies.

　With this, the ground will somehow be protected.
　.................The ground.

'What, what...?

　The army that filled the sky (...) and Aldante-san, who led them, looked up to the heavens at an ominous sign.

　Dark clouds swirled around with lightning, and an eerie and unnamable magic circle was formed at the center of it.
　The first thing that crawled out first were countless hands.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well.

　A tremendously large, jet-black part can be seen shining with countless nanikas wriggling about.
　Those who have no knowledge of the body would be under the illusion that these parts are the body, and would never dream that they are a head without a face.
　However, a person with a sound mind would definitely go insane just by looking at it. It's a good idea to have a variety of resistant cheats.

　As the head spilled out of the magic circle, an irregularly shaped chunk of flesh blackened the sky like an endless muddy stream.
　At the same time, a deafening humor swept upwards from the wards, hitting the tentacles waved carelessly but fortunately turning the demon army into minced meat one after another.

''What the hell!　Hahahahahaha!　What the hell is this?

　A wave of black flesh swallowed Aldante-san, who was in a state of madness at the scene unfolding in front of him, without a second thought.
　The black liquid like topp and coal tar covered the ward, but as expected of an evil god (that guy), my self realm could not be surpassed, either.
　There are countless eyeballs peeking out from underneath the warding as if they were disappointed, but the warding has been made opaque to everyone except me.
　Because..........

''................Ah, there it is.

　Looking down at his feet, the summoning team of the pledge fulfillment.
　Probably the Demon King, who was watching the situation with farsighted magic or something, had gone mad and died.
　In other words, if it was a transparent, sound-leaking ward, the humans under the castle would have suffered the same fate.

　Unlike when they came out, it only took a moment for the chaos to disappear.
　It will disappear cleanly and completely as if it wasn't there all along.

''It was well deserved.''

　Wobbling, he released the wards as Eva descended with a swooping smile.

'Too much, Eva,'

　Outside the window, I stared zit-eyed at Eva floating in front of me.
　The purple witch sticks out her cute little tongue as she stares back at you with a curious look on her face.

''Sorry, by the way,''

　Yes.
　Here's another reason.

　Ava is mischievous.
