We returned to the Ifrus Magic Academy in Glendale. Of course, with my transition magic, just as we went, of course.

　The month-long out-of-school class was over.

　I look back on the month I spent in Alheime-a lot of things happened.

　First, I made a contract with the Wind Spirit King Sylph.
　I got a lot of leaves from the World Tree, a super rare item.

　Conquered the World Tree dungeon(?). I did.
　I found out that many of my classmates could fly.

　He won the martial arts competition.
　Sarion, who used to work for Tina's family, was strong.

　He told me about Tina's past.

　I won the war with Apristos.

　He defeated the demon Amon.

　He was given the High Kingdom, the national treasure of Alheim.

　And I married Tina and Rifa.


　Yeah. It's been an intense month.

　By the way, the High Kingdom was too big to carry around, so I asked Mai and Mei's father - a shiny old man - to keep it in the spirit world for me.

　The old man marked the coordinates of the spirit world where the High Country is kept as a transfer, so I can retrieve the High Country no matter where I am.


　─ ─ ─ ──***──.

　We returned to our own mansion at the Magic Academy. Tina headed to the academy to report back to the academy about our safe return and what our lives were like while we were out.

　She said that she would keep the matter of our contract with the Sylphs under wraps. Would they really believe us when we told them that we had participated in the war and won?

　Yoko, Mai and May are relaxing in their room.

　As they were relaxing after having Rifa make them tea, someone came to visit them at the mansion.


''Hurt, long time no see!''
Sister.

　When I opened the front door, my sister, Charles, was standing there. As usual, she's so beautiful that I can't believe she's my own sister.

　But her breasts are a bit of a disappointment, though.

'My brother, where are you looking, my brother?　Do you have something to say?

　Oops, that's my sister. She read what I wanted to say with her gaze.

''No, it's nothing. By the way, what's going on today?''

　Forced to change the subject.

"I heard you got married.
Oh, you've heard it already.

　Perhaps it was my mother who told him.

'Halt, I am sad. I thought you were going to marry me.

　Saying that, Charles hugged me. Compared to Tina, there was still something missing.

'Hey, you're thinking rude now, aren't you?
..........

　Will Charles be able to read my thoughts?

'Sister, we're family. You can't marry me.

　I digress for now.

'Love will get you through that stuff!

　Ew. Is this guy like this?

　I've been thinking that you've been betting on me for a rather long time, but....it's only been this far.

''Um, Hurt-san. What's going on?

　Rifa was worried about me not coming back, so she came to check on me.

'Ha, Hurt! Who is this beautiful elf?

　Charles looks at Rifa and for some reason he's blushing.

''Let me introduce you. This is Rifa, the former second princess of Alheim, the kingdom of the elves, the former second princess there, who has recently married me.

Nice to meet you. My name is Rifa.

"Ka.
?

Cute!

　With that, Charles hugged Rifa.
　Rifa was confused by the suddenness of the situation.

'You're so cute, you're too cute. Miss, will you marry me? I still make a lot of money doing this.

　You're changing your mind fast.
　It doesn't matter.

"Sister, Rifa is my wife. And she's in a lot of pain, so please let go.

Mm, can I have this baby?
No!

　There's no way I can give it to you.
　I pull Charles away from Rifa.

"Um, how's it going over here?

That's my sister, Charles.

'Well! Was it your sister-in-law (ne'er-do-well)? I am pleased to announce that I have married Hurt-san. I look forward to working with you in the future.

　Rifa bows politely.

''........Lady. Ha! In other words, Rifa-chan is my sister-in-law (imouto)!

I'm sure you will.
Hardt, well done!

　What's that?

　─ ─ Just as I was thinking, Charles hugged Rifa again.

'I never thought I'd have such a cute little sister!　I'm happy.

　Charles is pleased.
　Rifa still looks confused.

　As for me, I'm a little glad that Charles likes me because I'm going to be Rifa's sister-in-law.

　We are going to be a family.
　I want them to get along with each other from now on.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that you're here. I'm going to be able to treat you since you've come all this way. I'll take care of it.

　I pulled Charles, who hadn't tried to leave Rifa, away from her by half-heartedly pulling her away from him and taking her to the parlor.


　─ ─ ─ ─ ********──.

You're so cute, Rifa. I have a little sister. Yeah.

　Charles is grinning the whole time, which is a bit weird.

'Tea for you, sister-in-law,'

Thank you, Rifa.

　Charles pulled Rifa's hand away from bringing me tea and made her sit next to him. Wouldn't Rifa normally be next to me?


Did the Hults decide on a family name, by the way?

　Charles, who had calmed down a bit, asked.
　The nobles of this world could take the family name whoever inherited the house.

　Silveray was to be succeeded by his eldest brother.

　And the children of nobles who were not heirs could not take the family name when they married, so they would have to give themselves a family name. We had all consulted with each other and decided on a family name.

'I've chosen Elnor. Now I'm Halt-Elnor.

'Elnor, it has a nice ring to it. What does it mean?

'In the language of the elves, the Star of Fire. Or it means flame elf. I chose it because Mr. Hurt is very good at fire magic.

　Rifa explained.

''I see, Halt uses fire, right? Oh, come to think of it, Rifa-chan's hometown is Alheim, right?　I heard we were attacked by a country called Apristos, but it was okay!

Yes, Mr. Hurt drove the enemy away and the country is safe. All the people of Alheim are truly grateful to you, Mr. Hurt.

　Whoa Rifa, what are you talking about?

"...what?

　See, Charles has froze up.

　Afterwards, Charles asked me to dig into the events of the last few days.

　My sister Charles seems to have the ability to see through my thoughts, and when I hide something from her, she is quick to point it out to me.

　In the end, I told her everything, including about Sylph, without hiding it.



　Rifa was surprised that Rifa didn't know about the demon Amon.

''That's my Halt, indeed.

　Charles was satisfied.
　It wasn't his sister's.

　I'm Tina's and Rifa's, I wanted to say, but I didn't feel like I could win an argument with Charles, so I decided to keep it quiet.
