"You mean Tina didn't forget my name?

　I made a contract with the Goddess of Memory, giving me time to say goodbye to Tina.

　With that contract, all memories regarding my name were supposed to have been lost from the humans in this world.

''No, I had forgotten Harujin-sama's name. Then again, it would have been done by the Goddess of Memory, but Haruhito-sama's name was not recorded in any of the books in this world.

So how do you propose to...

Haruhito-sama's name was not in my memory or in any of the books. But this is all that was left of him.

　With that, Tina showed me the bracelet I gave her as a gift.

　A rather ugly bracelet that I made myself using the leather of a certain phantom beast.

''I still have that....''

'Of course. It's the first thing my good man has ever given me.

　After a hundred years, it was indeed tattered, but I could tell that it had been used carefully.

　It was faint, but I could see the words H&T that I had magically engraved on it.

''I lost my memory regarding Haruhito-sama's name, but I remembered that this bracelet was given to me by my guardian hero-sama. And also that Haruhito-sama promised me that he would come back.

　Apparently, Tina started making money because I promised her I'd come back to this world.

　To live with me.


　Then Tina told me how she got to the point of creating the largest trade association in the world.

''First, I created funds by defeating the Attribute Dragon. My level had increased during my adventure with Harujin-sama, so I was able to earn about 400 million easily.''

　In order to make funds, Tina had killed eight attribute dragons by herself.

　Apparently they weren't enemies of Tina, who was already over level 200 at the time.

'Nowadays, I wouldn't let Tina take down an attribute dragon all by herself, though.

'Hmm. Harut-sama, you're being overprotective. I'm one of the best magic swordsmen in the world, you know?

　I know.

　Still, I didn't want to make Tina do any acts that might hurt her.

'But it makes me very happy to hear you say that, because it makes me feel that Hurt-sama cares for me.

Yeah. Tina is important to me. I love Tina enough to fight for her that I would fight for her against the world.

Master Hurt!

　Tina hugged me.


　The world as an enemy--that's just an example.

　If all the countries in the world really became enemies, then we wouldn't be able to win yet.

　But I want to have that kind of power someday.

　If I don't, I won't be able to protect Tina, the world's most powerful magician, and I won't be able to achieve my ultimate goal.

　My goal is to strike the evil god that killed me.

　Well, that aside...


'Can we hear the rest of Tina's story on the bed?

　Tina's good smell and the soft things pressing against my body made me want to make out with her.

''Yes ... yes.''

　My ears were red, but still, Tina certainly affirmed it.


　Today, everyone was out except me and Tina.

　Yoko, Hakua, and Merdi are challenging the dungeon of the ruins.

　Mai, May, and Rifa are on cooking duty, so they went to stock up on food.

　Seira and Elmia are going to have an event in the Holy City, so they've been out since yesterday.

　It seems that Luna and Kikyou are each dating my alter ego.


　For the first time in a long time, Tina and I are alone together.

　The last time was before the dungeon's unveiling, so it's been about a month since I've seen her.

　I was chatting with Tina in the cafeteria, and I wanted to make out with her quickly, so I picked her up a little more forcefully.

'Kya!　Eh, ha, Master Hurt!

　Tina is surprised by the suddenness of the situation.

'I'm sorry. I couldn't wait to get to bed.

...more.

　Shyly, he turns away.

'I can take you like this, can't I?'

　She didn't look at me, but Tina nodded coyly, so I went to the bedroom with her in my arms.


　─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

So how did you make 500 billion dollars?

　After flirting with Tina all over the place, I asked her what she was wondering about.

'Don't you think the food is better now than it was a hundred years ago, Master Hurt?

'I think!　I think it turned out very tasty!

"I was given many other worldly spices by Kana-sama. I recreated them with ingredients from this world.

　A hundred years ago, the only way to season foodstuffs was to use something like salt or pepper.

　Furthermore, pepper was a high quality product and was rarely distributed, and the only way to season it was to sprinkle salt on it.

　Now, however, various seasonings, including dressings, were on the market.


"I didn't think there were any seasonings in the world...

I developed everything but the basic seasoning.

Really?

　What a mess.

　The food in this world became better because of Tina.

'Originally, this world's flavours were often bland, and the seasoning I made won people's hearts in no time.

I know.

And it's also because of this that I've been able to spread the seasoning around the world.

　With that, Tina took out a tattered burlap bag.

'Oh, that!'

　It was a bag that looked familiar to me too.

　You can store anything in it and you won't feel the weight of what you put in it. And it is a superlative "storage bag" that can keep the items you put in it intact.

　It's an extremely rare item I got in the bonus room of the ruins dungeon.


Excuse me. I've been using this while Hult-sama was away. But thanks to this, I was able to take control of the world's logistics.
