Good morning, Mr. Hurt.

　The day after the wives' meeting, Rifa called out to Hurt as he was walking down the hallway.

'Good morning, Rifa.'

I need to ask a favor from Mr. Hurt, if you don't mind.

Please?　Oh, about your stepfather calling you to come to Alheim?

　It's early May now.
　The magic academy is in the middle of a ten-day vacation.

　Rifa was told by her father, the king of Alheim (the Elven Kingdom), to show up at least once during the holiday period.

''Ah!　I know that has happened. But it doesn't matter.

What, you don't care?

'Yes. Would you be willing to transfer me alone to Alheim for a different matter than what your father has called you to do?

　It's rare that Rifa asks you for something.
　Hurt wondered a bit.

'Just Rifa?　Why don't we all go together?

Everyone else seems to be busy, so this time it's just me.

Hmmm, I see. By the way, what's Rifa's business?　If I can help, I'll help.

'Oh, that's all right. I'm sure Harte will be busy today, so please make sure you stay in the mansion. I have a lot of plans.

What?

　Before he knew it, Hurt was surprised to see that his schedule had been set up.

'We don't have much time, so I'll need you to make the transition to Alheim!

Uh-huh. Okay.

　With Rifa pushing him out of the way, Hurt deployed a transition magic circle to Alheim.

''Are you sure you want to be alone?''

'Yes!　When you're done, I'll call you in. I can talk to this bracelet, right?

Yeah. So you can get in touch with me.

　With the application of transposition magic, Hurt had given the call function to the bracelets he handed out to the entire family.

''Thank you,''

　Rifa kissed Hurt.

'Well then, I'm off.'
Have a good day.

　While waving back at Hurt who waved his hand, Rifa entered the transition magic circle that Hurt had prepared and transitioned to Alheim.



''Lately, Halt-san, you're not afraid to kiss me whenever I kiss you, aren't you? I'm such a nervous wreck, yet...

　Rifa muttered as she arrived at the high ground overlooking the transfer site, Alheim.

　If a number of women begged for kisses on a daily basis, they would indeed get used to it.

　You can't help it, but Rifa didn't understand that she was the only one who was thrilled.

'What do you think of the alter ego magic that allows you to change your personality just a little bit?　Ugly Mr. Hurt is a little bit cute. We're going to spend the night with you, Hurt-san, and we're going to have a lot of fun with each other.

　Rifa's imagination is growing.
　She couldn't seem to stop her face from breaking out.

　A little while later, she began to move to Alheimu with a light step.


　─ ─ ─ ─ ********──.

Halt, hey there!
'Good morning. Mr. Hurt.

Merdi, Luna, good morning.

　Soon after transferring Rifa, this time Meldi and Luna approached me.

''Halt, I'd like you to transfer us to Bestiary.
Please.

Okay, but why?

I can't tell you why yet. So that's not good enough for you, is it?

　That's not fair, Merdi.
　That's not fair.

　How can I say no to a request with a face like that?

"All right. I don't want to know why. Okay, Vicki, here's your link to Bestiary. Call me on the way out with your bracelet.

　He deployed the transition magic circle to Bestieth.

''Thank you!''

　Merdi jumps on me.
　She keeps on kissing me.

Okay, then.
Yeah, have a good day.

　When I was about to watch Meldy enter the Transference Magic Circle, away from me...

Mr. Merdi, please wait. I, I want to kiss Mr. Hurt, too.

　Luna still doesn't seem to be used to kissing me.
　The way she's embarrassed is cute and makes me a little nervous too.

"Be careful, Luna. If you have any problems, call me immediately.

　Then he kissed Luna gently.

'....Luna?

　Whenever he was in a state of mind, Luna became unrestrained.

"Okay, okay. Well then, I'm off.

　Meldy pulled Luna's hand a little too forcefully as she walked into the transition magic circle.

''Both of you, have a good day.''


　***

　It's kind of quiet in the mansion today.

　Rifa, Meldi and Luna went out first thing in the morning, but it's too quiet for that.

　Is everyone still asleep?

　With that in mind, I headed to the dining room.


''Good morning, Halt-sama,''
Tina, good morning.

　There was Tina in the dining room, preparing breakfast for me.

'Huh?　Is it just the two of us today?

　Usually the whole family eats dinner together, but Tina prepared a breakfast just for me and Tina.

''Yes. It seems that everyone has gone out to do some business. Today, only Mr. Hurt and I are in this mansion today.

　Mai and Mei are said to have returned to the spirit world.

　Yoko, Luca, Seira, and Hermia are said to have flown somewhere on the back of a chalk that has returned to its dragon form.

　All of my wives, except Tina, have gone out.

　I hadn't been consulted about going out in any way, which makes me a little sad.

　I don't want to hold everyone to account, so I don't want them to tell me where they're going, but....

　I wanted to at least say hello in the morning.


Thank you for your patience. Let's get some breakfast.

Yeah. I'll take it.

　We eat the rice Tina prepared for us.
　As usual, it's very tasty.

　........it is.
　It's not that there's no one else in the house but Tina──but that it's just the two of us.

　It's just the two of us, Tina and I.

　When I think about it, it's been a long time since I've been alone with Tina since I've had a wife recently.

...Today, it's just the two of us.

'Yes. That's right.

Well, you know, if it's okay with you Tina it's only morning, but would you like to join me for a bath or something?
'I'm in!'

　Tina answered immediately.

'Hmmm, the perks of being a stay-at-home mom.

Hmm?　What did you say?

No, it's nothing.
Yeah.

　Something Tina was saying, but I couldn't hear it in a whisper.

'It's been a long time since I've had a bath alone with Hurt-sama. Let's make out a lot, shall we?

Uh-huh.

　Shit.
　I'm having so much fun, my halt is going to be halt.
