After Linse's confession. I didn't understand what had happened since then and we took Sheska back to the mansion.
　In a panic, I asked Lime to look after Sheska and hurriedly returned to my room, falling into bed with my head in my hands. What the hell is going on?
　Linse likes me? Does that mean love instead of like?
　Nuh-uh..... No, isn't it something to worry about?
　Linse is indeed a lovely girl. She's ladylike, quiet and considerate of others. She can be a bit shy, but she's a hard worker. You can't blame her for that.
　But I'm also Yumina's fiancée.
　I'm sure you'll find that Yumina is cute and pretty, and she's calm and dependable in spite of her age. I've been nervous recently about the age-appropriate behaviors and attitudes that Yumina sometimes shows. Is this what you call "Gap Moe"? Hmm? A gap in age?
　Ah, I don't know what to do....
　As I buried my face in my pillow and sighed, I heard a knock on the door of my room with a bang.

''Fuyao-san, it's Yumina........''
What?

　I opened the door and saw Yumina standing there, dressed in her normal clothes. Somewhat awkward. No, it's not that I'm doing something bad. I wonder if the feelings of the husband whose wife found out about the affair are like this. No, before his wife, he wasn't even married and it wasn't an affair!
　Youmina entered the room and sat on the sofa placed in the center. It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

Jee.........

Ji────..........

Ji──...........

J~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~....

　Ugh. It's the first time in a long time that an odd-eye attacked my eyes. This is mentally tough, you know........

"Fuyao-san.
Yes, sir.
Am I mad at you?

　No, even if you say so........ Even if it was, from Yumina's point of view as her fiancé, it wouldn't be interesting for me to be confessed to by another girl, though.
　The sight of her eyebrows wrinkled in front of her and her cheeks puffed out in front of her, this is cute in a way, but it's not very congenial under the circumstances.

''Even I haven't been kissed yet, and I can't believe you two took it away from me first too!
You?

　Well, well, maybe you're right in a way! But that was done, not done! It's a bit of an excuse, but you have to understand that part.

'I thought you were mad about Linse's confession?
Why? You just have to see that Linse-san likes Fuyao-san.

　Sorry, I didn't see it coming.... I'm a bit depressed.

''Since this is the time to say it, I have no complaints about Fuyao-san having ten or twenty concubines, as long as I don't make those children unhappy. I think that's also a man's worthiness.

　...Really? He said that polygamy is not uncommon in this world, but when it's allowed to go this far, it's scary in reverse.......

''But! Yes, but... I'm too careless to be kissed, even though I'm his rightful wife and I haven't yet! There's a gap! You're on the defensive there! You'll have to defend yourself fully!
No, but...
No excuses!
Yes.....

　I think she's at a different point in her anger, but apparently it's pretty important to her.

''So if Yumina had been done first, does that mean this time it wouldn't have been a problem?
Of course I'm a little jealous. But that's not a bad thing. As long as you take good care of me.

　Is she really 12 years old? Isn't she too optimistic? Or maybe she doesn't like me that much....

........Did you just think that was rude?
"Uh.

　Why am I surrounded by women with such keen instincts? Yumina quickly walked around the table and sat down next to me on the sofa from her seat.

I'm going to take a look at you, Fuyao-san. I am prepared to take you as my husband and wife for life. It's because I love you. It is because I love you as much as I love Linse. I don't want you to doubt that much.
I'm sorry.

　She was honestly apologetic. It would be rude to her thoughts if I doubted that. It's the me who can't make any decisions that is to blame.

I'm really sorry.
''I'll forgive you if you hug and kiss me.

　No! Isn't that a high degree of difficulty, Yumina!
　Still, the atmosphere doesn't allow for a retreat from this place. Reluctantly, I reach for her shoulder and pull her little body closer to me. I hug her tightly, with her head under my chin. The scent of her soft body and drifting hair leaves me thrilled.
　Oh my God, I wonder if I have to admit it, how I feel.
　Yumina raised herself slightly from my arms and turned her face upwards, quietly closing her eyes. They're closed! Can't we get away with it now? You don't! I knew it!
　He resolves to kiss Yumina's small lips. It's a small kiss, just a light touch.
　When I let go of her lips, she opened her eyes and smiled at me, and hugged me tightly once more.

'Ehehe. I had you do it! I'm the first one you've done that from Fuyuya-san!
'What? Uh... well, that's what happens...

　I'm sure it's been done twice, but is this the first time you've done it yourself? ........maybe that's what it was for! I'm starting to feel like it's all calculated, but I'm afraid to think too much about it if I care.
　I don't know what it would be like for a 16-year-old boy to kiss a 12-year-old girl in the world.... When it comes to age, there's only a four-year age difference.

What do you think of Linse-san, Fuyao-san?
'What do you mean.... I think it's cute, and I'm honestly glad he confessed to me. But I don't know what to do when I can't even decide on Yumina yet, and I don't know what to do when I think of Linse as well. It's a shameful story, though.
Love it or hate it?
'Of course I like it. I'm sure of it. She's a precious girl.

　Yumina in her arms smiles with a smirk. What is it? How about this aimless laugh?

Yes, that's right, Miss Lindsay.
What?

　Yumina called out towards the corner of the room. Then the figure of Linse, who is vaguely red-faced and depressed, comes into view. Wait, what do you mean!

''I asked Lean-san to cast an invisibility spell on me. If I didn't do this, Linse-san didn't seem to agree with me.

　"Invisible"! You were in the room the whole time, by any chance! If they had overheard the whole conversation earlier too... Ugh, how embarrassing!

'It's Fuyao-san's fault, isn't it? She doesn't respond to you, she just locks herself in her room. She kept crying about how she was hated, Lindsay. It was almost Else-san was going to hit you.
''Uh...I'd prefer not to do that...''

　Well, I was too busy with myself to think about that much. It's no good, I'm not.

'Oh, um, I'm sorry about that. ...

　Saying that, I approached Linse, who was clutching her skirt and crying raggedly, and gently took her hand.

''Ah........''
'I'm sure you asked me earlier, but I don't hate Linse. I think she's cute and I think she likes it. I don't know what to do about it, but I want to take care of it.
Fuyao-san.........

　Linse laughed a little. Yeah, she definitely looks better when she's laughing, after all. I made her cry about it, and I can't complain about Else beating me up.

''Now that we know how we feel about each other, what do you think? What about Linse-san getting it for your wife too?
What?

　Yumina plainly said something outrageous. You mean your wife.........Linse? I looked at Linse and she was squirming again with a bright red face.

''If it's royalty, nobles, big merchants and the like, it's normal to have a second or third wife. The rest is just Fuyao-san's worthiness. If you can provide for us properly, no one will complain. Linse-san won't have a problem with that, right?
Wow, I want to be Fuyao-san's wife, too...

　Seriously? No, I'm happy to be happy, but I have all sorts of anxiety looming over me before that.

"...no,

　Linze looks like she's about to start crying. No, I still want her to have the smile she had earlier. I can't make her cry. Oh yeah, it's going to happen!

You don't mind a second wife or Linse? So?
'...I think I can get along well with Yumina, I think. If we can fall in love with the same person and be happy together, I couldn't be happier.
''Okay. If that's what Umina and Linse want to do. I'll do what you guys want.

　Instantly, a smile fell from Linse's face and she embraced me forcefully. To be honest, it's confusing to be treated like this by the usually docile Linse. Even Yumina stood up and jumped on me in the same way. Wait, this is kind of embarrassing!

'So now you're engaged to be engaged to be married to me, Mr Linse.

　Yumina smiled and spoke happily. Linse's face was still red, but she was nodding her head happily.
　It was late, and when I told them both to go back to their rooms, I was forced to kiss her goodnight. As expected, I didn't have the nerve to go that far yet, so I managed to ask for a favor (which seemed odd) and got him to give me a break with a kiss on my forehead. Yumina looked happy and Linse looked embarrassed, though.
　When she was alone in her room, she let out a long sigh, haha. There was a bit too much going on today. I need to clear my mind. He collapsed into bed again.
　What should I do for now..... I have enough money to support the two of us, and we already have a house. Is everything alright? Oh, I wonder if I have to go to Linse's parents' house to say hello........
　I guess the only thing left to do is my resolve. I have to be prepared to spend the rest of my life with these two. I have to think of it in a positive light as much as possible. I want to make them both happy.........
　Thinking about this, I fell into a deep sleep.



　Boom! I jumped up involuntarily when I heard a banging on the door. What the hell!
　It was already bright in the room, and it was morning. I scurried around with sleepy eyes and saw a shadow looking down at me with its arms crossed beside the bed, backlit by the morning sun.

'Can I talk to you for a moment?'

　The one there was the older sister with a face that was a perfect match for the second girl who had offered to be my wife yesterday.
　In the morning sun, the gauntlets hanging from her waist shine brightly.
　That, I have a bad feeling about it. Are you in a pinch in the morning by any chance?
