It was a close call.

　It was a close call, but I made it.

"She's my wife, you can't kill her.

　He spoke to the girl who was about to decapitate Citry with a black taiji sword.

''Are you ... the one with the stone statue?''

　Hmm?　A stone statue?

　I don't know what that is, but let's talk about it anyway.

'I'm Hurt. Halt-Elnor. You're........Akari, right?

What?　How do you know that?

　Well, I can see that.
　It's been ten years, but it still looks like him.

You know Haruto Saijo, right?

I know.

That's me.

...Yes?

I'm Haruto Saijo. I was reincarnated in this world and became Halt.

..........

　Oh, what?
　That's strange.........Akari's frozen in place.

Hello, Akari?　Akari?

　Well, no way. No?

　I thought Akari was my sister, Saijo Akari, but....

　Isn't she the one?


　Nope. I knew it.

　It's been 10 years, but there's no way I could have mistaken Akari for someone else.

　Did I..........forget you?

...........
..........

　Well, that's a shock.

　I died when Akari was only five years old, but my parents were busy with work, and I was the one who took care of her.

　Akari was very close to me.
　She was always calling me "Haru-brother (nii)".


Haru's brother... is that you?

Yeah!　Yeah, yeah!　That's right.　

Really?

Oh. Really!　I know you have a towel that Akari has always loved. Akari always wears that...

'Aaaaah!　Don't say that!

　I'm a little pissed off.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. But you know I'm really Haruto, right?

Yeah but on the other hand, how could you know it was me, Haru (nee)?

I know. I'm Akari's big brother.

　Well, it's thanks to Akari's face not changing much when she came to this world.

　Isn't that reincarnation?

　When I was thinking about that.


Haruki!
"──Ungu!

　With a ridiculous amount of force, Akari hugged her. The floor of the dungeon where she stepped out was gouged wide open.

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

　The speed of the Ta-............

　I'm really glad I have a fixed status.

　Seeing my sister for the first time in ten years and dying from a hug from her.......seriously, it's not funny.

　Thank you, Evil God!

　For the time being, I decided to make my sister learn how to use force.


　─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

'I see. So Akari is a reincarnation too.

Yeah. But it looks like the Goddess made me almost exactly the same shape as I was in my old world.

　I told Sitri what happened and asked her to go back to the mansion first.

　I took Akari with me and transitioned to a place some distance away from the magic academy, slowly moving on foot towards my mansion while talking with her.

I'm not sure if this is as big as it is in your world right now. You've gotten bigger, Akari.

'Ehehe. Because it's been ten years.

Yeah. Ten years, huh?

...Hey, Brother Hal, nii.

Hmm?

That woman just now. She's my brother Hal's wife, isn't she?

Yeah, it's called a sitre.

Hey, you live together?

Yes. I'm the third son of a powerful nobleman in this world. I'm the third son of an influential nobleman in this world, and he built a mansion on the grounds of the magical academy, and I live there. Do you know what the Iffles Magical Academy is?

I know!　I went to visit you the other day. That's where I met Mr. Sitley.

Oh, yeah. I didn't know you were in school.

　Huh?
　Does our school allow outsiders?

'Yes. The woman who was with Mr. Sitley at the time traded me for a loaf of bread, and she was very beautiful, too!

'With Citry?　What was he like?　You know, like the color of my hair, for example.

It's a beautiful blue.

Oh. Luna.

Is that person a friend of my brother Hal's?

Yeah. She was the second girl at the Magical Academy to become friends with me.

Yeah?　Then I'll see you again?　I want to thank you for the bread and get to know you!　It just felt ... kind of ... nostalgic.

　Since Luna is from the same world as us, does Akari feel the same way?

　I'd like for us to be friends.

You will. I'll see you where I'm going, and she'll be there.

What?

'The Akali can do transference, right?　Didn't you go to any other countries besides Glendale and Bestieth?

Oh. I also went to the elven country of Alheim. And the first one is called Aplistos. That's where I made my guild card!

Oh, yeah. Apristos.

　It seems that they haven't started waging war on neighboring countries since they started the war on Alheim.......

　Was it okay?

So, a person named Eliza has been very nice to me. Also, I saw that my brother Hal was dedicated to him!

...What?

'Brother Hal (nee) stopped the war with Alheim, didn't he?　You are indeed a reincarnated person. So in Apristos, the Halt religion, which worships brother Hal (nii), became the state religion.

What, really?

'Seriously!　There's a huge stone statue of Brother Hal standing in the middle of the royal capital. Brother Hal, didn't you know that?

Yeah, yeah. I don't know.

　Seriously?
　There's a stone statue of me in Apristos?

　Well, I can't blame them for what's already there.
　I'm going to flaunt it even more.

By the way, this is the second time I've been in this world.

What?　What's going on?

I defeated the Demon King once in this world. Then he went back to his world and was immediately killed by the evil one, and now he's here.

...Really?

Yes.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. But let me just say.........

Oh. Thanks.

So, if you saved the world once, didn't you have a problem with that?

Like a statue?

Yes!

I have.

Do you have one?

In the city of Gareth, in the county of Ligue Goren, there are mass-produced statues of me. And there's a lot of books with my face from my old life in them.

...Brother Hal, you're enjoying life in another world, aren't you?

For now. It's rather peaceful now that the Demon Lord isn't around.

　When I was a brave guardian, I had to risk my life every day, and it was not easy. As soon as I transitioned, I almost died........

No, Sitely-san is the Demon King!

Formerly a demon king. You'll be able to find out if it's a good idea to have a good time with them.

'I heard you took away the power of the Demon King... oh, is that it?　Is Brother Hal (nii) the god of this world?

No.

　Ha-ha.
　Akari... What are you talking about?

　I can't be a god.


So, how was Alheimheim?　Isn't that a huge World Tree?

'Yes!　That was awesome!

That wolf incarnate, the spirit and I are very close. Next time, let's climb up the mountain together.

　I'd like Akari to experience Sylph's specially made, just-for-name-experience elevator.

"Eh............. I'm going up.

And the elves. They're a lot of pretty girls, aren't they?

'Yes, yes!　I was rescued by an amazingly beautiful elf named Rifa-san.

Oh, you met Rifa too?

...Brother Hal, maybe...

Yeah, I'm good friends with Rifa. I'm good friends with Rifa. She's also at the wizarding academy I'm on my way to.

Rifa-san is at the school.

And you've met Tina, right?

'Oh, you're a beautiful woman with dark hair!　I met him at the H&T Chamber of Commerce and he bought an item I made for him.

She's the teacher who teaches me, Luna, and Rifa magic at the magic academy.

So you're saying that Tina told you about me?

Yeah!　There's a girl who brought in some amazing item.... This is made by Akari, right?

　I show Akari the brooch that Tina left me with.

'Ah, here!　Yeah, I made it. Just watch brother Hal (nii) for a second. Create Arms!

　Akari suddenly created a black sword in front of me.

　I feel a tremendous amount of power.

　If my status wasn't fixed - if my status was as a guardian hero, I would have been cut in half when I was trying to protect Sitree.

'Brother Hal (nii) broke me, but this should be pretty strong.

　Yeah. I'm sure.
　Yeah, of course.

"Akari, got a minute?

What?

It's a very dangerous weapon. That's why you can't just create something.

Really?

Yeah.

If brother Hal (nii) says so, then I will!

Thank you. Akari.

　He listened to my advice honestly, so he patted Akari's head.

''Ehehee.''

　Her reaction to be happy hasn't changed from the past, and she's very cute.



　After that, I registered Akari's magic power with the magic tool that was kept by the president of Luano and entered the grounds of the magic academy with her.

''I knew I had to register it properly, right?''

Well, come with me later and apologize to the headmaster for going in there without permission.

I'm sorry, Hal.

That's fine. Hey, look. I can see my mansion in plain sight.

That's my brother Hal's house?

Isn't it big?

　That said, my family has been growing lately and I'm getting a little cramped.

'It's too big!　You and Sitri live in a house this big?

　Yeah, that's the way it should be.
　Of course it is.

　Well I should say something.

Uh, you know what? Akari.

What?

Brother, your wife isn't alone.

... what?

Isn't this another world?　You know, so... huh?

What? You don't think...

In addition to Sitri, Akari met Tina, Luna, and Rifa.

You've got four wives?

That's not true. All together, 14 wives.

Yeah.

''By the way, besides your wife, my pet divine beast and two of my classmates live in the house. A total of nineteen people and one animal live in this mansion.

"You have a too much of a harem!　Why is this happening?

Well, I mean, how do you know it's not just a coincidence?

'You're adding too many wives to your marriage!　.........Huh?　But wait a minute. If you have fourteen wives, it doesn't matter that you have one more wife now, does it?

　Hmm?

'Yes!　I have a question for brother Hal (nee)!

'Yes, Akari. What is it?



You got an opening for a sister-in-law?
