--The inn was built at the back of the castle.

"Well, ...... then, gentlemen, we will now hold the 'Fifth Meeting of the Bride'.

　Ooh, and sparse applause crackled from the participants.

　It's not really a scene for applause, but seeing as Yuki often claps at times like this, they also often clap vaguely.

This time, Nell will tell you the details of his time over there. I didn't tell you the details, but that's why we're here, Liu.

"Yes!　We would love to hear about your husband's story, too.

　Participants in the meeting are naturally three people who are wives . Leffy, Liu and Nell.

　Normally, Iruna, En, and occasionally Shee would join them and sit on the nearby sidelines, but this time, however, because of the presence of guests, they did not participate in the meeting.

　This conference itself requires discussion from multiple perspectives, so anyone other than Yuki can participate, and if the guest girl was willing to participate, she could have joined the conference, but the girls are not here because they are all tired and already slept soundly.

　Perhaps they were having a lot of fun making new friends with each other.

　Incidentally, Leila is sometimes called here as a witness, but she never voluntarily participates in this meeting.
　You will be able to find a lot more than just a few of the most popular items of clothing in the world.

So, let's hear about the baby girl first. Did the baby girl fall in love with Yuki over there?

Yeah, something like that. Well, I don't know how much you two know, but do you know about the 'King's Landing Crisis' that happened in the Kingdom of Arisia, which was solved by your brother before?

Yeah, Yuki told me roughly what happened. As I recall, the prince of that country was brainwashed by demons and eventually turned into a necromancer's toy, didn't he?

We hear about it as much as you do. The poor little prince, isn't he?

Yeah, yeah. So, during the time of the capital crisis, the king and the princess, I mean Ilir, were captured and put in jail. But it was my brother who saved them.

...... Okay, I see the story. Like a prince on a white horse, Yuki was rescued by a little girl. So it's just like you.

Uh-huh. Well, that's what it is.

　With a bit of a shy smile, Nell.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one. I'm a good friend of En, and I'm also a good friend of hers, so naturally I wanted to come over to visit you. Well, I guess the first reason was because of her brother. So, here we are.

...... Ilir, you're a princess, right?　I'm surprised you allowed the king to go out there.

　A dumbfounded expression appears on his face.

"Your Majesty--well, the king knows who you are and how strong you are. I think he thinks that no matter where he sends you, you will be safer with him than in the castle. Besides, Ilirre thinks it's better to make friends of your age than to stay in the castle all the time.

Kaka, you are not a man of drastic decisions. You and Yuki get along well together, don't you?　He seems to like those who take the plunge.

Yes, she's pretty relaxed about it. I gave the elixir and dungeon return necklace to the king just in case something goes wrong.

Ho, that's something. He's finally got a man friend.

It seems that you don't have many decent friends of the same s*x. You're the only one who does.　Not a human species.

It's true that Master Lil is a male ...... but if you count that as a friend, then your husband looks a little bit like a poor man. ......

...... That's right, too.

　Saying that, Liu and Nell let out a wry smile.

"So, what did you find out about the guy himself?

　Nellie nodded at Reffi's words.

I don't think she's good at dancing.

"That's it, Danse?

　As if the words that came out of her mouth were unexpected, Leffy looks at Nell suspiciously.

"Huh, yeah, that's right. The ball was held over there, and when we were practicing for the ball, my brother couldn't dance at all.

...... I can only imagine what it's like.

"In the end, the power of the, um, demon king?　I think I've managed to get some 'dance' skills in. Still, I wonder if she has no sense of rhythm?　I couldn't dance well, I was groaning and struggling to dance, giggling and groaning. I'm sorry to say it, but it was so cute to watch.

　I'm not sure if I'm remembering that moment or not, but I'm smiling and laughing as I speak.

It's a great way to get your hands on a new piece of equipment. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it if you ask ......

"I don't know if it's possible. You're not good at it, and you mumbled, 'I'll never dance again.

I can easily picture it, too.

　And the three of them burst into laughter at the mention of their common husband.

　It's not just a simple matter of time for you to get your hands on a new pair of shoes, it's also a matter of time for you to get your hands on a new pair of shoes.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one. I've decided to continue being brave after all. That's why I'll only come here from time to time. I'm sure that's fine with you. ......



"Yeah, yeah!　Nell, are you going back to human country?

　I'm sorry, Liu," he said sadly, his expression twisted.

I'm sorry, Liu. It's just that things are a little bit messy in my hometown right now, and I can't just leave things alone. If you can somehow stabilize the country to a point where it doesn't need me ......, then leave the brave man to someone else, and he will definitely come here.

　The next person to open his mouth to Nell was Rephi .

...... That's already been decided in your mind, hasn't it?

Yes, I've already decided.

You think that's what Yuki's guy is going to do?

Yeah. If you hadn't pushed me back, I wouldn't have been able to make such a crisp decision.

Well, ...... then, I'm not going to say anything else. Just don't forget, Nell.

"Huh?

　Reffi grins and fishes the corners of her mouth at Nell, who looks at her curiously.

"You don't live here anymore. Come back firmly. And don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it. It's not Yuki's words, but ...... we're one of the family.

"...... Thanks, Leffy.

　Nellie looks happy and smiles.

...... That's right!　We're family now!　Nell is in more trouble than us, but we can't whine about it!　As Leffy said, if you have any trouble, feel free to ask for help!　I can say ......, but we can do less than Mr. Leffy and his husband. ......

No, that's not true. Seeing Liu in good spirits makes me feel good about myself.

"Really?　Eh, ehehehe. ...... will share our energy with Nell!

　Palm facing Nell, "Ha! And begin to send some chi.

　At that, Nell giggles and says, "Okay! And then he clenched his fist.

'Then you two!　You're in good hands with your brother, right?　I can't stay with you all the time, so ...... you'll both be there for me when you become fragile, okay?

Of course. It would be unworthy of that fool's wife to be worried about her distant master.

"Yes!　Leave it to me!　We will protect your husband, with us and Reffi-sama!

　The three of them nodded strongly to each other.
