That’s right. Right after “that” happened, the princess followed me. Just what was the King thinking? It is most important for her to learn about her partner. At least send a guard! Aren’t you at least worried about your daughter? Could it be that there are ninjas in the ceiling?
Just when I thought that, there was a noise in the ceiling ……It’s just a rat, right?
「Live together, here? Is it really alright with you being the princess?」
What Elise said was most reasonable. I thought so as well. Until now, she had been surrounded by many employees, and had everything prepared for her.
Honestly, it was considerably painful and I wished she would go back…
「Please stop speaking formally to me, Elise. For now, I will do whatever I am able to help Touya-sama. I hope I just don’t slow any one down, and will do my best!」
She grasped both fists in front of her chest and had a pose like she was full of inspiration. How cute—janakute.
「……what do you mean exactly?」
Asked Lindsey, who had raised her hand.
「To begin with, I’ll register with the same guild as all of you. I will take on requests as well.」
「「「「Eh!?」」」」
Everyone exclaimed in harmony. Register with the guild… you want to become an adventurer!?
「Wa- Princess? Do you understand what it means to take on a guild request!? There are many dangerous———」
「I understand that. Also, please stop calling me princess. Call me Yumina please, hubby.」
「Please don’t say hubby!」
「Well then, Yumina」
The princess smiles a pleased smile… I mean Yumina. This girl is surprisingly tough.
For the time being please don’t say hubby or Touya-sama. It’s just Touya, Yumina.
「I learned some magic from Charlotte, and learned how to shoot a bow. I think I’m fairly strong.」
「A bow and magic… Certainly, long distance attacks will be helpful. What magic attributes do you have, degozaru?」
「Wind, earth and shadow. I can only summon only 3 kinds of beasts however.」
Wind, earth and shadow. Those where attributes that Lindsey didn’t have. I don’t know her strength yet though…
「Um, what should we do?」
I face Elise, Lindsey, and Yae with my arms crossed. What to do, meaning whether or not to add her to the party.
「…Well for the time being we could wait and see, we could go and take a request…?」
「I see. We could choose after seeing her strength, degozaru?」
「Yeah, well if it’s too dangerous we’ll just get Touya to defend her. It’s decided right?」
I wanted to interject in several places but I decided to stay quiet. I mean, it had a feeling of me not having the right to speak.
We’ll head over to the guild tomorrow. It seems it’s been decided that Yumina would register with the guild.
After that, I arranged for a room for her with Mika (she wanted to stay with my but I absolutely refused), I made meal plans with everyone, and decided to prepare for tomorrow before going to sleep.
After going back to my room, I lay on my bed, finally alone. I’m beat…….Completely exhausted…….
While I was sleeping like a log, I heard my ring tone that I hadn’t heard for a long time and answered the phone. It was a light hearted tune, but I was a little irritated.
When I took it out the caller ID read “Receiving: God”
「……Hello」
『Oh, it’s been a while hasn’t it? Congratulations on your engagement, Touya』
「……How do you know about that? ……Oh wait it wouldn’t be strange for God to know about that right?……」
『Hahaha. It was just by chance. I decided to take a look at where you were, some pretty interesting things happened』
God’s voice seemed to be happy.
「It’s not interesting at all….. Getting married at this age is unthinkable you know.」
『She’s a nice girl isn’t she? What’s the problem?』
「No, well Yumina is cute and in the future will become a considerably beautiful woman you know? Her character is obedient and she is desirable too. But this and that are two different things.」
『You’re stubborn. In this world polygamy is actually pretty common; you should go ahead and marry as many girls as you are pleased with.』
Is that how it is……? Because the Duke and King only had one wife, I assumed that…… Nono, that’s not the issue. I’m not looking to make a harem. (tln; The harem is coming for you whether you like it or not)
『Well, what you end up doing is of great interest of everyone here, do your best ok?』
「What a selfish thing to……N? ……What do you mean by “everyone”?」
『This world’s pantheon. I showed you to everyone and they all showed some concern. Although about half were amused.』
Eh? What does that mean? Isn’t there just one god?
「Pantheon? There are gods other than you there?」
『There are. Although I’m tentatively the highest god there are other lower class gods, the god of Art, the god of Love, the god of the Sword, the god of agriculture among many others. The god of Love was especially interested in you.』
The person that stuck their head in other people love affairs, the god of Love.
『As your relatives everyone is going to attend your wedding. Ah, I’m going to play the part of grandfather though.』
「Now see here……」
Were the gods that available? For all gods to attend on the bridegroom’s side as relatives, what does that even mean? It’s true that I don’t have any relatives in this world though.
「Would it be possible to keep them from interfering any further?」
『It would be more accurate to say that “The world of gods doesn’t often” interfere. But, there is no problem when they come down to the world of humans.』
That’s a big enough problem all on its own though……you lose if you retort. In myths the gods would often come down and mess around didn’t they.
『Well, anyway. We’re rooting for you. Think hard about living a life with no regrets. We wish for your happiness. Well then, see you later』
「Haa……」
With a vague reply the phone call ended. A life without regrets.
What would happen if I were to marry 12 girls……? The age difference between a freshmen in high school and a 5th grade girl, when I think about it, seems considerable, but 4 years difference isn’t really that big a deal…? My parents were 6 years apart. There were even performers that were married that were 30 years apart.
To start with, I hadn’t even gone out with a girl, so marriage didn’t click at all.
Crap, I don’t get it. I’m going to sleep.
