The corpse of the bandit ended up being dumped in the depths of the [Speckled Forest].

　However, while driving back to the tent, I suddenly noticed my abnormality.

''Ryota, what's wrong with your difficult face?　What's on your mind?

'No, nothing. But even though he's a bandit, he kills people easily, and his corpse is food for the beast, and yet he has no guilt at all. As someone who grew up in a peaceful Japan, it's unusual... if this is my true nature, I think I might be a madman.

Does "crazy" mean "insane"?　Is that what Ryota looks like?　Hmmm, no.

　Maybe this is normal in this world which means I'm already adjusting to this world?　I think it's too soon for that, though.

'We had a good time exploring in the forest, and you took care of a lot of things for me when your father was there, didn't you?　And even the extermination of bandits is for the defense of the village and to save the kidnapped children. Do they treat such people as crazy in Japan?　I'm not going to be happy about that!

　Oh, oh. Please stop embarrassing him!

　

''Ryota-sama, I'm sorry to be so presumptuous, but the problem you just mentioned. I have confirmed it with the Goddess via email.

　So let me check.
　Confirmation of confirmation wrong?
　Is that where you have to explain to the window flowers?

'Nah, window flowers are so clever, it saves me a lot of trouble. But it would be nice if you'd check with me before sending an email.

'No, Goddess-sama has instructed me to use my own judgment in discussing reports. Ryota-sama complained that I don't get enough reports...

　Gefa!　I'm sorry. I was the one who didn't report back!　I'm going to go in there if there's a hole.

　No, it's starting to feel depressing... maybe I should take the goddess's special tranquilizer.

Ryota-sama. The goddess explained to me that the reason I have no aversion to murder is because of the local ingredients in that potion.

　I was so startled that I almost dropped the pills.

　I've never heard of it!

　Worried that I was prone to depressive thoughts, the goddess had adjusted the ingredients. There is an immediate effect, but the additional adjusted continuation effect coincided with the time when I'm going to get sick. It's a different world, so it's also the goddess's concern that I should live a little more comfortably.

　It's true that there have been a lot of hard times since I came here, but... Doesn't this make me a sociopath when I return to Japan?

Still, the anesthesia for inconvenient emotions will wear off when they return to Japan.

　You could have told me before, I was worried about you!　But I'm not worried if I can just go back to Japan and get better. You'll still have your memories, but it'll be painful.

　And now the problem came from a different angle.

'It was. Ryota's going back to Japan at some point, right?　I want you to take me to Japan with you then...

'There's no magnesium and no sub-race in Japan, so it's not easy to live there, is it?　And I wouldn't recommend it because it's not much fun in a tight society, I guess...

　I'm in the wrong place!

　You may miss being alone, but just because it's peaceful, Japan is cramped in both physical and mental terms. As a former company employee, I can assure you of that.

'If I shouldn't go, does that mean I can?　I've never seen a better place to live, even in the land of Ares. And even if I'm on my own, I'm going to miss being away from Ryota... Even if it's cramped without the magic element, I still want to be with him!

　Even if she's 16 years old, she's still a cute girl.

''Ryota-sama, are you the insensitive type?　If you don't mind, may I add to that?

　Suddenly, Window Flower sent a rude radio message.

''Rude!　I know what you mean!
Now.....

But I'm a murderer. I'm as old as a parent and as old as a child and it's hard for a subhuman to survive in Japan.　It's culturally cramped; in three years, I'll be thirty-nine, and when I die, Midia will be completely alone, right?'

　I don't think I've ever heard of such a delicious story either. But!　It's unfortunate for Midia when the man she's marrying is an old man like mine... and she feels more like a daughter. My social standing would be in jeopardy too.

　If it's a good marriage on paper, then when Midia finds someone she likes. I'm confident and ready to make things up and convince them to do whatever it takes. However, it's difficult to even register with the sub-human Midia. If it's done poorly, she'll be treated as a UMA and a subject of research.......

'For example, even if I worked until retirement, I couldn't save enough for Midia to live for the rest of her life. It's doubtful that a sub-human would even be able to receive life insurance. I've been promised to the Goddess for 3 years that I would live in Ares. It's too irresponsible...''

Can I help you with the money?

"No gambling or illegal activity!　Midia is a young girl with a great personality and good looks, she's too good for me (what a waste). Probably not because I like her or anything, but because of the loneliness of not having any relatives anymore. You can't ever take advantage of that!''

　But I have the responsibility of being asked by Simon to take care of her. As an individual, I don't want to make Midia feel lonely. But I also don't want to take advantage of her weaknesses.

　That's why I dared to misunderstand their intentions and suggested adoption to Midea.

'I won't know until I ask the Goddess, but I'll ask her if I can't adopt her somehow. But if you're going to adopt me in this world, it's okay to start now, I can stay here for three years and we're going to tour the Ares continent, so we'll think it over during that time.

Adopted?　I want to be married. Your father would have approved, so we'll have no problem with that.　And besides, that's what I meant by [I want to be with Ryota], maybe he doesn't want to be married to me, a mix...? ...

　Huh?　What makes you think I have a beef with Midea?　I mean, it's the other way around!

No, no!　Midia's got a great personality, she's beautiful and pretty!　This is a misunderstanding, a cultural difference!　In Japan the age of adulthood is 20, and 16-year-old Midya is a minor. So I thought it was an adoption story. Hahaha.

'What!　Can't you even get married until you're 20 in Japan?　Am I pretty and pretty?

　Whoa!　We could have fooled them!

'Marriage is at least 18 years old. It doesn't matter how pretty you are, Midia, it's illegal.

　Well, you can still get married at 16 if your parents allow it, but it's going to be illegal. After that, you might not be able to get away with it... but!　We'll get through this moment, and in three years we'll come to our senses!

"....beautiful and pretty beautiful and pretty... ha!　No, I'm fine!　No one in Japan knows my age, so I'm going to say I'm 18. No one will ever know my real age!

　He's turning it around!　But we can't let people get out of our way!

No, no, no, there's a law, but it's not even morally acceptable in Japan.

I love Ryota too, so we're soulmates!　There's no moral problem, it's not Ryota's fault, so don't worry?　But there should be no more than three wives including me and I must be able to get along with them?

　All at once, we're talking about a marriage premise, and even more so, a requirement for bigamy!

　Ms. Midea, chill out for a minute!　I know you're worried and anxious about not having any family to care for. But don't make it too soon!　With Midea's looks, she can go higher!　Because he's got a good personality, a high income, and he'll find a young, handsome man who isn't his first-born!

The only people in Japan are humans, so adulthood is impossible, so for now, let's reconsider marriage when you turn 18. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get it adopted. I'm sure Midea would be anxious to just wait, too.

Well, if you must, I can wait to make it official, can't I?　I don't have a problem with it if she's practically your wife.

　Is there such a thing as a real marriage in this world?　Anyway, it's not looking good for us.

You should consider other candidates.　If I'm going to Japan, I'll have my goddess introduce me to a good-looking man with a good personality and a high income, other than the eldest son. You can compare me to them, I'm a dull old man, you know?

　Once he put the contraption away, but Midea's mood is soooo bad.

　I hope the old man won't be reckless........
