'I'll put a few of these alter egos of mine in everyone's bracelets from now on, and you can use them as you wish if you need to.

""What?"

　My wives hear my words and turn to me in unison.

''If we ask you for something, are you saying that Mr. Hurt's alter ego will listen to it?

　Rifa asked as she grabbed my alter ego's clothes.

'Yeah. It's basically magic to protect everyone, but it's mostly the same as mine, so... well, you can use it when I can't take care of everyone or something.

　When I would go to bed at night, my wife would sleep on each side of me, but my left side was always fixed with Tina, as I wanted.

　Other wives would come in on my empty right side on different days, but with the exception of Tina, I could only sleep with ten other wives once every ten days.

　All of them seem so happy to sleep with me that I think they miss the nights they can't sleep with me because of that.

　In fact, Rifa and Yoko have been asking me to do something about it.

　In order to be able to deal with my wives at the same time, I created an alter ego magic.

"You mean, for example, can I ask my master's alter ego to sleep with me?

Sure.

Do you want him to stay up all night?

''Don't worry. As long as you don't release your magic in battle or something, you can go for a night or so without replenishing your magic.

　In fact, if it's only for sleeping together, it's no problem to keep my alter ego out for ten days.

　But if you stay with my alter ego for ten days, the affections of the wives might be transferred to the alter ego.

　So the alter magic that I slept with at night controlled my behavior to return to the bracelet once I said my morning greetings.

　I don't want my wives to miss me, but I don't want it to take their minds off of me.

　This is completely my ego.

'If I go back to the bracelet, can I get it out again that night?

Of course it's fine. The bracelets I give to everyone have magic stones built into them that absorb my magic power from the surroundings. My mansion has a high concentration of my magic power in it, so just by having everyone spend time in my mansion, my magic power will be replenished on its own.

'You don't need to ask Hurt-san to replenish your magic, do you?

Yeah, Luna. I see.

　I could replenish my magic power for each alter out of the bracelet, but that might make it harder for my wives to use it.

　Because if they asked me to replenish their magic power every day, that would be like reporting to me that they were sleeping with the alter every night.


　Well, when the alter ego disappears, everything it experienced flows into me, so I would know if my wives used the alter ego without being asked to replenish the magic power or not.

''By the way, is it okay to have several alter egos out at the same time?''

''That's okay too. But I don't think I can use it for consecutive days because it takes time to replenish my magic power if I put out multiple alter egos.

　After that, I decided to end question time by answering a few of my wives' questions and move on to the dungeon unveiling.

　I had left Sally and Lilia alone, completely unattended.

'Sorry to keep you both waiting,'

No, no. Come on in.
Alter ego magic Master Hurt is still a ridiculous man.

　Sally was whispering, "I'll do my best to get my alter ego someday," she said.

　The only person who can give me my alter ego is the person who has my special bracelet - that is, my wife.

　If you want my alter ego, then Sally must be my wife too.

　However, since I plan to have Sally and Lilia join my clan in the future, I was beginning to think that I could give them to Sally and Lilia if they are flame knights as my guards.


　─ ─ ─ ──***──.

　Leaving Meldy, Seira, Sally, and Lilia at the dungeon's entrance, I transitioned with my wives to the dungeon's master room.

　A giant crystal in the center of this room served as a monitor, allowing us to check out the interior of the dungeon.

''Come on, guys, sit wherever you want.

　I had prepared a chair in front of the monitor beforehand, so I showed him to sit in it.

'To the right of my Lord!

　Yoko, who forced me to sit in the seat in front of the monitor, declared.

'Oh, Yoko-san, it's not fair!
Then I'll be on Master Hurt's left, as usual.

　While Rifa was complaining to Yoko, Tina quickly took a seat to my left.

"Then I'll take this one!

　With that, Sylph climbed onto my lap.

''Eh, there's a.........?''

　No, I didn't say it was possible, but....

Hmmm. That's what I was aiming for, too.
'Chalk, you can have it on my lap.
Rifa, thank you!

　Chalk was happily on Rifa's lap as she took a seat beside Tina.

　The other wives seemed to have taken their seats as well.


　Now, let's get the dungeon unveiling started!

　I told Meldy and the others through my bracelet that I had freed the dungeon.
