Epilogue - Engagement

I am depressed.

The reason for that is that I discovered that I love Alisa and Airi.

It bothered me to ruin our friendship, but it seems that my idiocy prevented me from reasoning if I really wanted to be with them.

The reason for my depression is that, at the time of confession, I blew it.

I said I loved the queen.

They hit me and left in disgust.

I can't blame them.

That was Tuesday and it's Saturday afternoon.

I don't feel like going out, but Ixion said the new aircraft is now available and anchored at the new port.

Apparently, my dad is working really hard.

Almost daily I see him going back and forth from the territory to the capital.

We have changed the location of the shipyard to the territory of a margrave who fled and now belongs to my family since he bought it from the palace.

The repair shop is on another island, the former territory of a margrave.

Yes, it is just as anyone would not have imagined it.

It was Balzac's. Since he was executed like his relatives, his territory was left without a ruler.

Actually, the kingdom was proposed to my father. I don't know if it is good or bad.

Another problem is that the heads of workshops, shipyards, thaumaturges and master craftsmen like the weird old man who harassed me.

They were upset with my family, I don't know what my father did, but they came to an agreement.

All this I remembered as I was carried like a sack of potatoes by a robot.

◇

We arrived at the port.

Both my home territory and the place where the workshop and shipyard was located were crowded with merchants and customers.

If I still had my island, I would be promoting everything I will sell.

The robot was carrying me and everyone was watching my pathetic self being carried by a floating trash can.

In the middle of a large crowd, I visualized a certain spherical body in the distance.

It was Ixion who finally stopped using drones and built himself a new body.

It was round as always, its size was lighter like that of a softball. Its color was white with dark lines and in the center a round red eye.

Apparently, many were being amazed by what they saw.

It must have been showing off.

The robot was pushing the crowd aside with my voice being reproduced.

Arriving at Ixion, I noticed what it was that everyone was curious about, and it certainly deserved the amazement.

It was an amazingly long aircraft, the robot showed me a hologram and, it appears to be 700 meters!

No doubt, Ixion has gone crazy with this. The shape is also similar to a fancy sword. No, seriously.

It's literally a sword in the shape of a futuristic airship and it's also all black.

I was amazed that my new ship was a monster.

It didn't matter anymore if people saw Ixion or the super technology after the war.

But I don't want the palace to think I can build monsters like this at will.

Ixion came floating over as I scored me, I told the robot to let me off and after feeling my legs again, I spoke to it.

"You want attention don't you?"

"You're wrong, this guy is another reason."

"And that is?"

"Observe."

As he said that to me, the airship lifted up on its own, rising and falling at will.

Brunhilde was moved by robots like any other ship, but the number of them is very few besides in the way it moved as if it were a limb....

"What did you do?"

"You want to know? Well."

"I present to you my new body, Schwartz! After the war, I understood that I was limiting myself a lot, for that reason is that I moved my consciousness to a bigger machine and have more power."

"Of course, the one you talk to is nothing more than a terminal created to converse with. It's kind of like a telephone according to your crazy ideas."

"...It's certainly impressive, wait. How do you want me to take this monster abroad!!!?"

"What are you talking about? This guy is for me, since Brunhilde went down and I was upset I decided to create something that can't compare to him, but it's no match for him in weaponry and speed."

"The ship we're going on is over there."

Ixion pointed to another direction where there were fewer people, but the number was impressive.

I walked to that direction and now I was really amazed.

It was a beautiful ship.

The hull color was gray and the rest was red.

It had a blimp in the shape of a rugby ball that was connected by steel cables to the ship.

Several hot air balloons and propellers to simulate that it was a fake ship.

The stern had something similar to a cetacean fin, on the sides it had wings to stabilize itself and from my position I could see two large twin cannons on the deck.

The most interesting part was that the bow had a big horn, it looked almost like a narwhal. It was certainly a marvelous ship.

"Ixion, you have gone above and beyond what I asked for. She is wonderful, sleek and sleek and rough. I'd kiss you if you weren't a scrap."

"Please don't. I'll self-destruct if you do, by the way, the big horn is the reason for your name, Schwert."

"Schwerts, huh? You love weird names, but with this we can go unnoticed over there."

"You're one to talk, I won't forgive you that my name is that of a cat. So, have you got everything ready? We only have a week left before we leave there."

"If only that idiot hadn't said that danger still remained in this world. I'd be enjoying my new life at the academy."

Just remembering what she said to me makes me vomit.

◇

It was yesterday, I went on a palace ship to visit Erselica after forgiving her(lie) and wanting to know more information of what she told me while in jail.

When I arrived at port, I was guided to the area where I was living with these idiots.

It was a green island with few houses for the servants and guards.

After a couple of minutes by carriage, I arrived at the mansion prepared for them.

It was undoubtedly the mansion where the future king would stay.

Although no future king would be on an island hiding and even more so when the ministers want to hang him.

In the garden I found the three idiots trying to cultivate, they were using construction units to sow seeds.

Unintentionally, possibly so, they destroyed the ground where they were going to plant their food.

I moved on after seeing several servants holding back tears or anger.

One servant told me that Erselica was in a separate room from Liam, the reason was more than obvious.

I knocked on the door and when I opened it, she jumped on me crying.

The maid saw her do it and I threw her inside so she wouldn't think bad.

I made tea and we began to talk.

I told her that I forgave her for what she did to them (lie, I never will).

Then she told me that after all that happened Allen and Cana are living here as her personal servants and trusted friends.

It is true as I observed them cleaning the room when I came in.

She also told me something that I could not process.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait... you're telling me that not only did you become Liam's girlfriend? those two's girlfriend too!!!?"

This girl has been sluttier than she looks.

She averted her gaze from me as she spoke.

"...Well, after everything that happened and I did to them and even more so when they confessed their love to me. It made me feel bad not to reciprocate."

"No, no, no, it's not just one, it's three guys, you have three boyfriends and one of them is the prince."

"You think I don't know that, his mother gave me a cold look when I got on the boat that brought us and she told me the following with her eyes."

"You will never take the throne."

Definitely, the Queen is a wise woman.

I'm glad to know that her heart is serious and cold at times.

"Serves you right, after all, much of what happened was your fault."

"Stupid onii-chan, don't remind me!"

"That reminds me, you came to find out more about that thing I told you about didn't you. The threat to come in this second year."

It's obvious that yes, do you think I miss you and want to see you by any chance? I must be in agony first!

"You said Bandel was a threat and the final boss of the game, but that in the second year something more dangerous would come. what is it?"

She ran to a bookshelf and grabbed something, returned to her seat without showing me what it was.

"Well, let me tell you quickly what happened at the end of the first year..."

She was telling me that after the incident of the first year which was not a war but a fight against house Bismarck.

The kingdom went into crisis, they were being attacked from different sides.

Even Duke Belmont rebelled against the kingdom.

By that time Balzac, was appointed as the new prime minister and Liam was treated as a servant to defeat them.

The second year is just similar and repetitive events that bore.

The only disturbing thing is the third year, by the middle of the third semester the war against the extinct commonwealth happened.

Airi was named Saint and they defeated Bandel thanks to the ship and the mobile knight I destroyed in the first semester.

The game ended there, the rest was supposed to be just living out their days quietly until they were named king.

It was here that the unexpected twist came up.

The developers said it would be too boring if it was just like that.

So they threw in a new difficulty, a secret ending.

That ending involved me and a country called the Holy Magic Empire Weiss.

That country has a weird guy called the pope emperor.

That guy labeled Liam as a threat and they declare war on the kingdom along with their allies.

This war is called the third world war.

This war is lost by the kingdom, therefore, end of the game.

The reason for their defeat is no big deal, their stats were 100 levels impossible to reach.

For that reason, the developers introduced through paid offers, better known as micro transactions; ways to gain experience and weapons to defeat them.

Among all of them there is a special one, one that has its own history and development.

She pulled out that paper there that she grabbed and didn't show me.

She almost rubs it in my face until I read what it was.

"Onii-chan, this is where not only the danger lies but also our hope, the super weapon that will kick everyone's ass!"

I grabbed the paper and read what it said out loud.

"Welcome to all foreigners who wish to learn the different blah blah blah."

At the end, there was the most important thing, the location.

"Supreme Kingdom of Aster - is that where I should go?"

She shook her head.

"This scenario exists, I mean, I found out that there is such a country in this world which means that if everything goes the same, danger will come to us before the end of the second year. But it will also be our salvation that lies there. Onii-chan, Liam, has neither the skills nor the power nor the resource to do it himself."

I don't like that pause.

"Therefore, you who have tilted the plot in your favor, it is your responsibility to find that weapon, destroy the danger to come, and in the process, prepare us for the third year's war."

Why is this happening to me, I didn't ask for any of this, but there's no point since I don't trust any of your useless people anyway.

I watched Erselica as from the window she yelled at those idiots who were causing a lot of noise.

◇

"It's unbelievable that a simple peasant has so many responsibilities that he doesn't want."

Remembering what happened yesterday and that I should go abroad just to avoid the possible end of the world and a war I don't want to get into. It makes me see that my second life or the next two years will be a pain.

Ixion was still bragging about both ships. The bigger one will be in the middle of the realm and the supreme realm...it's too long that name so I'll just call it Aster.

It will be halfway between the kingdom and Aster in case something happens.

I, on the other hand, will go in this beautifully decorated 400-meter-long ship overseas to look for that weapon and figure out how to steal it without being detected or causing trouble.

I hope it won't take me a whole year....

Out of the blue, or rather, without warning. The mayor, old Morgan saw me.

He was selling local food to the merchants and traders who came here to trade for some reason.

He told me the following.

"Master Rudel, your father is calling for you, go straight to the office to see him, it's urgent."

I wondered what my father wanted? Anyway, I said goodbye to Ixion who was bragging to the bourgeois about what he is capable of doing.

◇

"Uh, excuse me, could you repeat that?"

I arrived at my father's office. My mother was to his left from my position.

They were both very serious, my mom looking like a secretary on her side and my dad with his arms crossed an annoyed boss.

After closing the door, my dad said the following.

"Get your best suit ready for tomorrow, since you are getting engaged."

When I heard that, I felt a bullet pierce me.

"G-g-get engaged. Are you talking about Lyle?"

"No. Your engagement."

This is bad, this is not something I had any knowledge of, let alone inkling of.

"Wait a minute, this is too sudden! Shouldn't Lyle be the one to get engaged before me? Besides, what about Bram?"

My mother spoke for my father.

"Bram has many requests since they are not only knightly houses, they are from noble daughters as well. Because he is not an heir, but still a percentage of the profits from the business goes to him, there are many interested in engagement to a non-heir. On the other hand, Lyle... since both businesses are in your father's name, he will be the one to inherit them, so it is very dangerous to commit him without knowing what benefits and advantages the chosen family will give us. Pola will not enter the subject until she is fifteen."

"You heard her, so that leaves only you, the son who is not the heir, but who is his own head of an independent branch of the family."

"Huh?" I don't understand.

"What do you mean by that!"

"This came up when I went to drop off a report to the palace yesterday; the prime minister notified me that leaving without a fiancée is too risky. So, I got you a nice future wife, you should thank me."

Wait a minute, there's something wrong here.

"But I don't have territory anymore, let alone riches! Who's the idiot who decided that?"

They were silent until the silence was cut short by my father.

"You may be a noble of higher rank than the family, a position at court and be an independent branch. But, you are still a Bradford who is tied to his father until you are 18 according to the laws of the realm."

"...Wait a minute, I don't even know that family let alone that girl!!!?"

"...Turns out that family and that girl do know you, she got a lot of attention from you since the cruise and after seeing you fight in the war. Oh yeah, she sent you a letter for a party and you destroyed it."

I remembered something Ixion told me several weeks ago. Of all the letters sent, only one seemed not shameless according to him, no kidding!!!?

"I don't even know what her name is, I don't even know what she looks like, let alone know if her family are scum who want my ship and most importantly! I don't even know her personality!"

I'm scared, this is something that doesn't even compare to when I fought those weird things nor the pirate thing.

"...Since when do you care about personality?" My father said as he continued.

"She's a beautiful girl, I met her yesterday, her father is a man who has a court rank and wishes to get along with the family. So there is no problem."

"Of course it is!!! You're talking about someone I don't know who she is and she's going to be my future wife! This is-"

"Rudel..."

My father gave me a cold look.

"This engagement is important to you as the kingdom will not let you leave without being engaged. Besides, if you refuse, you will put our family and that house to shame. You never know what a broken hearted girl is capable of."

"Sleep well as I will make your clothes tomorrow as you will be staying at her house until you leave." Said my mother without changing her expression.

Why, why does life always stomp on me and spit on me when I try to be happy in my own way?

I put my head down and walked out of the office straight to my room.

◇◇◇

When Rudel came out and I could no longer hear his footsteps.

"Fuah~"

His father deflated.

While his wife looked nervous.

"Is it okay that we lied to him? I feel really bad, didn't you see his face, can't we tell him who he is?"

Her husband scratched his head as he relaxed.

"Do you think it was easy for me, I'd be scared too if they told me I had to marry a woman I'd never met. Besides, they were the ones who asked us to say that. The palace really wants to know if he's going to study or run away."

"That boy is not going to run away. He's a coward like his father."

"Why are you calling me a coward!"

Walt, got defensive as his wife gave him a dirty look.

"I remember when we got married, you almost ran away, your father had to point his rifle at you from the driveway so you wouldn't run away."

"That's different! I was young and hadn't had much fun before something so important."

"Oh, so I ruined your debauched youth and that's why you go out at night to flirt?"

"You should tell those kids that their father only did it because he wanted to blow off steam."

"You're wrong, Sonia!"

Walt got up to hug his wife, she seemed to refuse to be hugged.

"I know in these twenty years I haven't been the best husband, but I want you to know there was only one woman I was and will be with! And that's you!"

His wife stopped trying to fight.

"How do you want me to trust a man whose son inherited his cowardice and indecision?"

The hug was tighter and she turned red.

"I'm no longer a young girl for you to want to play lovers' games."

"Who says you're not? I don't see a day when that girl who could beat up drunks with a spatula has given up her roughness and charm."

"I got my ass handed to me and I was Rudel's age!"

Walt's hand went down to his hips.

"It's because this ass is the biggest ass around, four healthy kids came out of it. Thank you Mr. Butt."

The wife started laughing.

"Oh, is that so? Well, some kids didn't make themselves. Seems to me there was something it took to help them form."

"Would you like to have another Rudel or another Pola?"

Walt tossed the things off the desk.

"I'd like a boy who isn't a fool, but it would be bad for the women if he came out a heartbreaker."

The maids, recruited by Sonia, were passing by as intense sounds and noises came from the head of the house's office.

◇

It was already dark.

I didn't move at all.

I had a long discussion with Ixion about many things, among them about him finding out who that family was, he refused.

I stared at the ceiling wishing tomorrow would never come.

It will be a horrible day and a week to rest before I leave.

Ixion put my things away instead of my mother.

For hours now I have been hearing a strange sound downstairs.

A servant girl who works here, because we are now officially nobles, I asked her what was going on and she said the horses are having fun.

Those horses sure make a lot of noise even to hear in the house.

"Is there really nothing I can do to stop it?"

I asked Ixion, but he ignored me.

Worst of all, not only could I not apologize to the girls, but, if I get engaged to a stranger, it would make our relationship like in my simulation.

I don't want to see them cry again, this really sucks.

"Tomorrow will be a great day master."

Scrap said as he ironed my suit that he sewed in a mysterious way.

My head hurts, I just want to sleep and think it was a dream all this.

Before my consciousness faded, I visualized the girls.

For some reason, they were both in white dresses smiling at me.

◇

The morning of the worst day of my life came at last.

I was dressed in my white suit with a white rose on my chest.

Before we arrived at what in the distance was a church from my old life, but run by temple people, my family covered my face for some reason.

We went inside and I could hear voices, then we went to a special room for us.

My mother and Pola were not here, just me and the other males in the family.

Lyle was nervous about something, since we came back from the war he no longer dyes his hair or wears contacts.

I thought he had been replaced by a spy, but I see he is the same.

Bram was trying to fix himself while repeatedly looking out the window.

My father on the other hand was guarding the door, apparently he thought I was going to run away.

In fact, I want to run away.

I'm analyzing whether to fall from a third floor; as long as I coat myself in magical power, it wouldn't kill me.

It's terrifying to the extremes I think just so I don't marry someone I don't know.

The worst part is that Ixion disappeared and I don't know where he is.

Sitting near a table to get ready, I could see how I was sweating and my hands were shaking.

I really don't want to get married, especially to a girl I don't know.

Someone knocked on the door, my father stuck his head out to chat and seemed to jump for something.

"Okay, everyone's ready!"

Hearing those words, my fear increased more and my stomach churned.

A serious Bram, and a scared Lyle grabbed my shoulders.

They looked like they knew I was capable of running away.

"Alright guys, let's drop off the groom."

They made me stand up and were leading me straight to the slaughterhouse.

Goodbye, grimy fantasy world.

◇

"...What's going on?"

I wondered because of what my eyes were seeing.

After entering the place where it is supposed to be a huge chapel to meet my future unknown wife, I was in for a surprise.

Along this red carpet, lay not one; but two brides.

Both to the left and to the right were two girls in white, covered by a veil.

Their dresses were the same, they were long, with elbow-length gloves leaving their skin down to their bare shoulders.

They had a pearl necklace that matched the bouquets they had. Both were of different colors. The girl on the right was in red, while the one on the left was blue.

Their bouquets were at the level of their stomachs.

The part of the chest was uncovered revealing the skin and half of the cleavage visible.

Strangest of all; I must not see that cleavage, nor those colorful bouquets, let alone those very transparent smiles behind the veil.

"What's going on here, what are they doing here, and more importantly, what about the bride I was supposed to marry?"

I was starting to shake and sweat more until I saw him descend.

"Ixion, explain this to me!"

This floating sphere was also dressed up, she had a black bow tie under her eye to pretend she was elegant.

"What are you talking about? It's your engagement ceremony, not wedding. You can't get married until you're 18 or get kicked out of your family."

"Really? ...That's not what I wanted to know but over there!"

I pointed my finger where I pointed.

"Why are Alisa and Airi here?"

No matter how you try to look at it, they're here.

I... I'm getting engaged to my first and only friends, the women I love, I should be happy that I'm not an old lady or weird girl, but....

"I don't get it! Why am I going to get engaged to girls?"

Ixion was looking at me with his red eye, he looked annoyed.

"Still denying reality, huh? Okay. I arranged all this. If you before you left didn't engage with them, your own dishonesty was going to bring you heart disease for being such an idiot."

My mouth dropped open when he called me an idiot.

"I spoke to Alisa's father, the prime minister, her family. Everyone agreed except Mayer, but I used a sedative to convince him. Oh, I forgot, the Queen and King sent some letters."

Ixion pulled two letters from his body, they were floating for some reason.

I read the one from Leonis first.

"Wahahaha, welcome to the living death brat. I agreed to this engagement because I wanted to see you suffer, but fat Lecia didn't want to get involved in something that doesn't concern her so I can't see your stupid face right now. Are you going to cry, are you scared? Wahaha, suffer like me being tied to a woman, don't try to undo this engagement since I approved it. Enjoy having Sieg as your father-in-law, wahaha. From your fantastic, majestic, majestic, glamorous and splendid King Le-"

I crushed the letter as it was just pure garbage.

"That miserable son of a bitch!!! He just became my arch nemesis!!!"

My face was full of anger and hostile and nasty feelings to that guy calling himself a King.

I read the Queen's letter hoping it would be something more interesting.

"Alisa is a wonderful girl, she has been through a lot and in all my life the one thing I am most sure of is that you are the man she has been waiting for. I don't know her friend, but she trusts that girl a lot, so she will be able to have two wonderful girls by her side."

The letter was very touching until I read the last bit.

"Kyah!!! Not one girlfriend but two! Even the best love triangle novels I've ever read don't compare to a real one, kyah!"

(A mature woman shouldn't act so innocent, dammit!)!

I could imagine that she wrote this unintentionally as she screamed with joy.

I folded it and kept it in my bag to treasure this moment in the future.

Just as I did so, I noticed someone approaching me, it was Vayne, Alisa's older brother.

He was in a black suit and his hair down showing a fresh air.

"Rudel-kun, I'm glad to know that from today we'll be family."

"...Thank you,"

(No, no, it's tempting, but I don't want Siegwald as my father-in-law, much less after making fun of him and yelling at him that he was a lousy father).

(Just look at him, there he sits looking at me sideways as if to say this is taking too long. I don't want that guy to be my father-in-law!)

(Heeelp!)

Vayne seemed to see right through me and gave me some sort of words of encouragement.

"...I'm no good at giving encouragement, but Alisa is a great girl, I'm sure she's been waiting for this day ever since I accepted her feelings and between us..."

He came over to tell me something that made me even more nervous.

"If you want to have fun with them alone, I can set up an island for the three of you to spend time having fun like any young man and, I think my father wouldn't mind if you make it grandfather before you finish the academy."

That just made me freak out.

The worst part was that he smiled at me as if to say done deal.

"Well, don't take too long since they would be scared thinking the worst."

(I'm the one who's scared you know!)

"He's making them and the guests waste time Bell, let's push it."

"Aye~"

I felt two spherical bodies pushing me.

They were making me walk across the carpet.

On the left I saw people I didn't know, they must be relatives, friends and members of the Bismarck faction.

While on the right were ministers, civil servants, rich merchants and my family.

I watched as my father and Bram gave a complicated look about how to feel.

Pola watched in amazement at everything, my mother was crying for some reason and I heard what she said.

"Thank the Saint, I thought this boy wasn't attracted to women and would die alone."

Hey, don't tell your son that!

And finally, Lyle, he just bit down on a handkerchief as a sign that he was annoyed to see me happy.

After a couple of seconds walking at a slow pace, I got to where they were.

With one hand out of the bouquet they removed their veil.

I could see their faces clearly.

They were both smiling at the sight of me.

Airi's hair was silky and very soft according to her smell and appearance.

Alisa's was as it was when we first met, cut to her neck, only this time her braid covered most of her head.

I asked them nervously.

"Are you guys okay with this?"

They both looked at each other and then Alisa commented.

"If you want to run away, the exit is free."

"Please don't joke about it! Your father will chase me to the end of the world if it should happen."

"Don't you want to be here?" Airi asked still smiling.

"...It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I think this is a bit rushed. We're still young and we're not in a hurry."

"...Are you making fun of us? No one believes that, Mr. Maternal Breasts."

"That's right, sir I want to monopolize your mother."

They both said a line that scared me. It was from when I fought Liam for the second time.

"...How do they know that?"

"Everyone knows that."

"If it's not us, any other girl would look down on you, but not us, since we love you."

I wanted to cringe and cry at her cruel words.

"Why are you so defensive? An ambitious and lustful man like you should be bragging that he will have two girls all to himself."

"It's like Alisa says, I don't think you're scared just because it's us you'll be engaged to."

I had forgotten.

"Airi is a commoner, what is she doing here?"

They both again looked at each other and it was Airi who answered me.

"It turns out, no one cares if a commoner gets engaged, but if it were related to an important house for the palace there they would intervene. Alisa's dad told me I had to be part of Alisa's faction and a vassal of house Bismarck to be here, I agreed after hearing that."

The smile she made hurts me, more so because you are the future Saint and not just any girl.

It's true!

"Y-you may say you want to be with me. But you know what I look like don't you? You know the kind of scoundrel man you'll marry; not afraid to hide under your mother's skirts?"

"We know."

"Being a crybaby and a weirdo, we love you from the bottom of our hearts."

What they say hurts more than they know!

"I don't have my island anymore!"

"My father said he would give us an undeveloped territory as a gift, Thanks to Ixion, I'm sure we can develop it fast. Besides, you forget that I'm the daughter of a duke and received a high education, I could work while you rest all day. Truth be told, I don't mind earning money by the sweat of my brow while you sleep like a cat."

"Please don't make me feel like a parasite!"

These girls are getting closer and happier.

"They say they love me, but what if one day they wake up and say something like 'if only I hadn't married him' or 'I'd be happy with someone else', huh?"

They both looked at each other and then one by one lifting the bouquet said.

The order went from red to blue.

"You are the man of my life; the one I always waited for, that's why I won't let you get away. Rudel, I want you to be my husband."

"Rudel-san, I love you more than you can imagine, I want to be with you always; as you have been with me, I won't let you escape either. Please make me your wife."

I should be happy to hear that, but a part of me is terrified at certain lines they said and more so with what I'm seeing. It must be a hallucination, as it is impossible for this to happen.

I know it's a fantasy world, but I don't think it's physically possible or with magic; to be able to manifest a heart in their pupils.

They are both looking at me very happily, but I am more focused on the fact that their pupils have become a heart. Those hearts are looking at me with intensity as if they were going to suck me in.

"I think we've agreed on everything, Airi."

"Yes."

Alisa reached over to grab my right arm; Airi my left and her legs walked me over to the shepherd.

"Rudel, congratulations, you have two flowers in each hand to show off."

"That's right, your life with a harem has just begun, hehe."

I was terrified, this was not part of what I expected from my life, right after walking to the center.

Me, someone who never knew love in my old life; I did in my new life. And, it is with my friends whom I love, but for some reason I am terrified of this.

On that day, I got engaged.

◇

"Congratulations on your engagement."

My two servant IAs were here with me.

After signing a register with our names and being blessed by the temple. My engagement to the girls was official.

There was a banquet followed elsewhere.

I was nervous, as a lot of important guys and women gathered to congratulate me.

Among them was Siegwald, who just didn't say anything.

That terrified me more.

Alisa's brother, Vayne, came for his father to go along with the girls to greet my family.

They, my family, were very nervous.

When I thought this day would be over; I remembered that I was going to stay a few days at my fiancée's house, who turned out to be Alisa.

I was sent on a separate transport to the Duchy Bismarck, their official territory.

I had come before, but today was rare since I was as the fiancé of the lord's daughter.

As I entered the house all the servants, both men and women greeted me.

Although there was someone who sent me a strange look among all of them.

They told me it was okay to stay in Alisa's room, on her master's orders, but I told them it was too much of a rush and they agreed to give me a guest room.

At this rate and with these people, I will lose my virginity without being aware of it.

Now I was scared sitting on a bed.

The reason was that it was night and apparently the girls had already arrived.

Ixion and Bell were with them, which means they also came here.

"The teacher is really scared isn't he? He looks like a small animal."

"That's because he's a coward."

I was too scared to answer them, since it's true, I'm scared to death.

Something like this never crossed my mind.

I wanted to have a wife one day, but I never thought it would actually happen. Who would think that two girls really loved me that much? Me, with this face that's like a simpleton villain from a shitty game.

Ixion kept criticizing me.

"Truthfully, I don't understand how someone like you who has faced death in the face so many times. You fought against powerful and numerous enemies whom you defeated thanks to my technology and your strength, are you scared of having two girls by your side?"

"I am of the same opinion master, I have little time to know you, but that little time is enough to know that you normally, would be showing off those two to your brothers and then groping them. Is this what they call bipolarity?"

"You're wrong Bell, the master actually wants to show them off and grope them, he's the kind of shameless man who brags to others so that his existence will be noticed."

I looked at Ixion because of that last.

He looked at me too and sighed with a strange electronic tone.

"...Don't tell me you never noticed the problem here? Really, I don't know whether it's you or the prince, who's the real idiot disguised as a human being."

"W-what do you mean?" I asked very anxiously.

"According to what you told me about your past life, I could deduce several things. The first, is that you are someone who has your self-esteem down to the ground."

"...Huh?"

"It's just as you hear it, the unruly, unfriendly, anti-social manner, much of your idiocy and your lousy attitude towards others is simply and simply because you don't consider yourself a human being."

I started to shudder after that.

"The second is similar to the first, you suffer from self-loathing. Every time you talk about how you are a poor peasant, you have nothing but my technology and mainly when you talk about your face. It emphasizes that you never saw yourself as a human being."

I ducked my head because of what I heard.

"Last but not least is your twisted sense of reality. You from the moment you found me ceased to be a normal person. Since you interfered with Alisa and Airi's stalking, your life changed forever."

Wait, did Ixion call her Alisa?

"Why are you calling her Alisa now?" I raised my head to ask him very curious.

"...Their names are too long so I call them as you do, let me continue with your therapy."

This is therapy?

"And after the war, you will never have nor did you originally have a normal life. I'm not telling you not to be afraid of what the future holds, but instead, I'm telling you to stand firm in the face of life and accept whatever hits you good and hard."

You know, it doesn't make me feel any better about that last one.

But, I think I already understand something about myself that I didn't know.

The reason why I averted my eyes by lying, why I was terrified of this day and more so, why despite understanding my feelings for girls I was still in denial.

Me, I consider myself a human flaw, but it's not a thing of coming into this world. That was already there in my previous life.

The day my uncle kicked me out of his house, he shouted the following at me.

"Your life is worthless."

That day, something strange was born in me.

When I got my first job I only lasted two days in it. The moment I asked the manager what I did wrong, he replied with a laugh.

"Really, haven't you seen the mood you work in? I'd be surprised if you found a company that would actually want to hire you."

So it went on and on until I found my last job.

And, in love no less. No matter if it was my adolescence or being an adult, women passed me by or rejected me to go to the arms of another.

For that reason, I tried to alter the perception of my surroundings with laughter. Both in my old life and my new life.

The very idea of Alisa and Airi loving me seems so unreal to me, and even worse after what Erselica said.

Airi was originally Liam's partner, if everything had gone well, she would be in his arms.

As for Alisa, I told Klein before I blew him up. If he had been a normal guy and not a scumbag, he would be happy with her right now.

They are both wonderful, lovely girls. I never expected to really care about them to the point of denying how I felt too.

"Being me really sucks."

"And I'll say it... Bell, we need to talk about something important. Let's leave them alone since they need to talk."

I didn't understand what Ixion was talking about until someone knocked on the door.

"Rudel, are you awake?"

"Rudel-san, can we come in?"

I was startled to hear that the girls were behind the door.

When I turned around looking for those two, they had disappeared.

The girls asked again.

I mustn't keep them waiting, I must talk to them about what happened that day and about us.

"A-go ahead." I said to them in a weird, shaky voice.

The door opened and I, averted my gaze for some reason until I heard the door close.

"Rudel, turn to look at us."

Alisa said in a normal tone.

I heeded her, slowly, I turned to look at them and screamed out of astonishment.

"Wahh!!!"

My scream was weird, but what was in front of me, was the reason for it and unique.

Alisa and Airi came into my room in a nightgown that ended up to my thighs.

The room was lit by a magic lamp, it was not powerful, but even with that meager amount of light a lot of things were visible.

They came evidently in sandals, but their attire said they must have been only maids or no one around.

Their plump, white thighs were marked in that light fabric.

My eyes wanted to pop out because her underwear was slightly exposed, it was black, a black that stood out against the white fabric.

Moving my gaze up I noticed how her hips were marked on the fabric, and her waists were marked by the shadow of the light; her bellies and belly buttons were clearly visible.

The higher up I went, my eyes wanted to pop out as the underside of her breasts were marked by the light and the wrinkling of the fabric in that part.

Higher up it was dark, but their faces visible. They were red-faced and embarrassed.

"...I know we said we were your harem now, but could you not eat us with your eyes? We're still not used to living together with a man."

I immediately averted my gaze, but before I did I noticed that Airi had a heart-shaped pillow behind her and Alisa had both hands behind her hiding the same pillow.

"Rudel-san, we want to spend the night with you."

I gave a slight jump at those words, I never expected to not only get engaged, but now I'm about to enter manhood with not one but two girls.

"W-w-w-wait you two, it's not even the first day and we're already going to level up our relationship without even kissing first!"

"Hey, what are you talking about? We came to talk about what happened today, that's why we lingered all day with your family, asking what it was that you were so terrified about getting engaged, in the end we didn't find out anything and it was Ixion who told us that you should tell us yourself."

"I-I see... that explains a lot. And that look?"

"Umm? It's our pajamas that we normally wear to sleep. What's weird her?"

(So I wasn't being seduced! ...Why do I feel worse now? Are those pajamas for girls?)

"...Rudel-san, can we sit next to you?"

Airi asked me very nervously.

"Y-yes you like!"

They walked after that until they each sat on my sides so I wouldn't run away or avert my eyes I guess.

My hands were clutched tightly in my pajamas as Alisa on my right and Airi on my left, stuck close together next to me.

Our thighs touched and they set their pillows aside.

"Rudel, we want to know what is the reason you look like this. It seems very strange to us that you are behaving so strangely."

"Alisa is right, I thought it was just a stage of nerves and that you would come to our room to want to see us after you arrived. But you didn't, Rudel-san, do you feel unhappy or upset about this?"

They have a lot of things I know, but they know almost nothing about me, maybe that's partly why I consider this so unreal.

"I-I'm not upset, shocked and amazed yes. And... I'm not unhappy, I'm just..."

"What's that?" They both asked at the same time.

Ixion said, "I have a lot of traumas and personal problems. But, I have something much worse than that; it's a conflict that won't get out of my system for anything in the world.

I tried to get it out, but I couldn't get it out.

"We are very sorry not to tell you, but the palace insisted that we not say anything nor your family much less. They wanted to make sure you weren't going to escape the kingdom under the guise of studying abroad."

Tell those old men that, with this, it really could have happened since it never occurred to me.

His hands touched my legs, it made me shiver more.

"Rudel, we asked you if you had feelings for us and you denied that with a joke."

I didn't deny it, my mouth said something I didn't mean.

"If you really meant it... we'll respect your decision, me and Alisa won't get in the way of your life."

Huh, what are they talking about, why are they averting their eyes from me and ducking their heads?

"This engagement was endorsed by His Majesty the King, so breaking it is impossible, but Rudel, that doesn't bind you to be with us."

They took their hands off my legs.

It's not what they think! I don't dislike this outcome.

The fault is mine and not yours.

"Despite being your promised officers. No one tells you that you must love us, let alone be with us. You can be with whomever you please, Alisa and I understand that it is political marriage."

Stop, don't go on! You're wrong! You're not the ones with the problem, I am!

"...Remember that it is still your obligation to have an heir, Airi and I don't mind if you bring your lover to live with us-."

"Wrong!"

I couldn't take it anymore, I don't want them to think that they are a hindrance, if I don't say it now; I will never say it.

"You are wrong!!! I...I."

I took their hands because it was time to tell them the truth.

"I love you! I love Alisa, I love Airi, I love you both! In the hangar of the ship, the one who couldn't recognize what I felt was me, I really want to be with you! You are wonderful, thank you, funny, smart, each one is special and unique, but you are so similar that I .... I think it's too good to be true! Girls like you deserve a man who is on the same level as you."

I didn't want to separate from them, I don't want to stay away from them, I want to grow old together with them.

"That's why I refused to accept reality! That day of your confession, I was going to tell you that I loved you, I lied when I said I love the Queen, to me, she is an ideal woman since she is a fusion of the two of you! But what terrifies me the most is this!"

I bit my lips and closed my eyes as I said it.

"I really haven't forgotten about that day!!! Every day I think about what I did to them that time!"

"My head is still full of all the hurtful comments I caused you! The contempt I generated to you and about! ...The tears you guys shed because of how I treated you!"

My cheeks felt wet.

"I really can't forgive myself for offending you guys and making that semester the worst for everyone..."

I hate to remember that, because of my idiocy and foolishness, I hurt the people I love and my first friends.

They both took my hands, they said something that cut my tears instantly.

"Rudel, are you an idiot?"

"I don't think so Alisa, I think rather he's just very dumb."

"It's the same thing, this kid is an airhead no doubt. Oh, don't take it the wrong way, hear us out first Airi."

He was dumbfounded because of what they said.

"Rudel-san."

Airi let go of my hand and instead went to grab my face for me to see.

"First of all, thank you, thank you for letting your true feelings out, it makes me happy- no, it makes us both very happy to know that you care so much about us and that our love is reciprocated. But there's a problem here, and that's what you said."

"...What do you mean?"

Her lips parted to show me the reality.

"We forgot, what happened that time was everyone's fault; we said it, I thought you accepted it too."

She dropped her hands and my face was grabbed to see Alisa now.

"Rudel, we didn't imagine that really that event would mark you so much. Yes, we were hurt by what happened, but it is precisely because of that that both me and Airi understood that we loved you. Then last year and the war happened. All those bad, sad and tragic experiences. They served to bring us closer together than we were."

He watched as tears fell from her cheeks.

"I appreciate you saying you love us, it makes me happy to know that you reciprocate my feelings. Getting married through a political marriage is not something I want, I really wanted to love my husband, you were the one who filled that position. I am happy to know that I will be your wife as Airi your concubine. But Rudel, forget it, that event just leave it in the past already."

"...I understand, but I really-"

Airi hugged me before she finished.

Then Alisa, I could feel the warmth from both of them.

"We forgot that we lost the dolls you gave us, we forgot the humiliation Erselica caused us, so, you forget that too. Let it run off like water from a river."

Both of them hugged me tightly.

"Rudel-san..."

"Rudel..."

Their voices made me understand with the following....

"From now on, just worry about being happy together with your girlfriends."

That I was a winner in this new life. I got a family, a future in the palace (which I don't want since they are forcing it on me), a super technology that will make me millions within a year and above all....

"Thank you, you two."

That I have a happy future with the first girls I met in this world, the first friends I gained and, the women I love.

I hugged them both in response to opening my eyes.

It's time I put it all behind me, my past life as the bad things I did, that includes the ones I killed.

I must focus on the fact that I now have not one, but two wonderful girls as my future wives.

"Girls, thank you for making me see that I had a problem, I appreciate it."

"No, we want to help you in any way we can."

Alisa was saying turning her face that she had on my chest, to my face.

"We are not friends anymore, we are a couple, we must help each other since from now on we will live together... together."

Airi added having her face on my chest without taking it off, but out of nowhere she repeated the same thing a few times.

"...Alisa."

"Yes?"

"Now that Rudel-san has accepted his and our feelings..."

"...Yes?"

For some reason, they both looked at each other.

"It means we're his women no, we can do couple things now can't we?"

"...You want to do couple things too don't you?"

"I... I want to, since my heart wants to be one with him, but..."

Their faces looked at me with wet eyes.

Wait, that means it will happen that no, it will really happen right here and now that.

In this world there is no such thing as birth control!

It really is a wonderful thing that they want too like me, but there's a problem. They are still in the academy!

Yeah, me too and I'm a guy in his thirties on the inside who has two teenage girls for girlfriends.

It would be wrong if I were someone who cared about age.

But that's not the problem, but, if I do it, they run the risk of high possibility of getting pregnant while still in class!

I'm sure, if we do it, it will be until the end, I'll be happy, but they will have to carry my children while I'm not in the kingdom.

I don't want that, I want to be with them watching their stomachs grow, I want to be there when they are born.

But, but, I.

"...Rudel."

Alisa looked at me, her eyes were very wet.

"...Rudel-san."

Airi also called out to me, both of them had eyes like they couldn't take it anymore.

My conscience and my nature are in a struggle now.

There is only one way to achieve stability.

"Alisa, I'll start with my legal wife!"

She was surprised, I removed Airi's hand and moved closer to Alisa's face.

For the first time I really touched her.

My hands touched her cheeks, they are devilishly soft.

It's like touching a soft creamy cake.

I touched her once, but I had gloves on. Now I can touch her all I want.

My fingers went all the way to her ears, then, I was slowly going down to her neck, I couldn't help myself and put my lips there.

"Mm."

She made a cute sound, I kept kissing that swan neck until I reached her chin, there I found two fleshy red lips.

I looked at them intently, my hands now touched her hair.

It's very silky, it's the silkiest thing I've ever touched. It's as if a super fine garment was melting in my fingers, those smooth blonde fragments provoked me to devour them.

Without much more delay, I said "Alisa, can I try you on?". She looked at me with very wet eyes, which then turned to Airi, I did too as it would be very disrespectful to ignore her.

She tilted her head that it was okay, hugged me to come closer and watch as I was going to take her friend's lips.

For some reason, saying I will take her friend or having my girlfriend watch me do it with her friend, generates only more desire for me to do it.

Without further thought, I brought my face close to hers and, our lips met.

Alisa's lips are so soft, so full, I feel it's unreal.

Our tongues touched awkwardly, but as time passed we took a breath and repeated.

I think it was fifteen minutes like that or more, as the intensity of our kisses went up the scale to more adult.

My tongue would enter her mouth, our tongues would curl. Occasionally her teeth and mouth walls would touch them.

But, I don't care, I want more, much more!

I abruptly pulled my tongue out of her mouth, she was breathing very heavily, I could hear her heart pounding.

I turned to see Airi who looked nervous.

I looked at her to indicate that she was next, adorably and very shyly she agreed.

I did the same as with Alisa, but with differences.

I hugged her, my right hand on her shoulder and my left hand on her thighs.

She jumped a little from the shock.

My right hand slowly climbed up to reach her neck.

I, approached in the same way after reassuring her.

My left hand was touching her thighs. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's equal to grabbing a big meaty piece of soft flesh.

My hand went up and down, my fingertips seemed to dance playfully on her skin.

I kissed her neck, it was the same as Alisa's, a swan's neck.

My right hand reached her hair, the sensation was different.

Her hair was like the strands of a spider web, they were so fragile that my fingers played too.

"Hus... band."

She called me husband awkwardly, that indicated that I should treat her as my wife.

That's right, the future Saint and the villainous daughter of a duke are my women. And me, I am a greedy hero who has both women totally different to be happy and enjoy our future together.

I moved my lips closer to Airi, but decided to tease her a little.

I nibbled on her bottom lip as she stuck out her tongue. Then, I kissed her cheeks and my left hand spanked her bottom.

I could feel my hand sinking in and ripples occurred.

I decided to do it again until she gave in.

After a few minutes of feeling her big ass and biting her lip.

She stuck her tongue out and forced it into my mouth.

What a naughty girl she is.

I embraced her as her man.

Our tongues met relentlessly, and likewise, I didn't let her pull away.

I could feel saliva dripping from our chins onto my shirt.

I was groping his back in the same way you play a violin.

It was there, where I realized she had no bra on. It means her breasts are so vulnerable that I can play with them.

But now I prefer to play like this.

I put myself in a more comfortable position by mounting her on top of me.

With my left eye I watched Alisa staring at us.

I released my left arm from her back and pulled her onto my other woman's shoulder to get her closer to me.

"This is how a hero should have a good time!"

I removed my tongue from Airi and with a trail of saliva introduced it to Alisa's mouth.

After a while, it went back into Airi's.

I don't know how much time passed, but my mouth was hurting a lot.

Now, our tongues were one.

The sensation of tasting my girlfriends is certainly gratifying.

So I decided to cut it off since my bottom was already rising.

At this rate, I'll assault them both and I'll be the one screaming in ecstasy.

Before I finished. I decided to do one last act of heroism.

I grabbed them both and pressed their breasts into my face.

"Girls!"

Alisa's huge breasts pounded me with their hardness and firmness, while Airi's large breasts buried me in their sponginess and softness.

Finally, I could kiss and touch breasts. If I die now I will be happy.

I released my face from her breasts, grabbed them firmly and threw myself on the bed with them.

At last I could grope them as much as I wanted, there were three more wishes to go, two of them were the same, but different concept.

I was achieving a jerk face while the girls were breathing very energetic and I was playing with their breasts, the area between the armpit and a few centimeters almost near the pink center of pleasure.

I understood that Alisa possesses breasts that compare to Ixion's current size; while Airi seems to be two or three cups smaller.

If they get bigger, it means that I will be able to experience opponents of the same level.

Happiness will continue, but for today let's leave it at that.

"I'm sorry girls, but it would be really bad if I decide to continue, but I promise I will take you to paradise in the most romantic way possible after graduation."

I left their breasts alone to caress their heads.

They were still breathing very heavily, but gradually returned to normal.

"...Rudel, you are such a pervert. Look what... we make you feel like this."

"...You are very cruel Rudel-san, you were gentle and rough. But, even so, I'm not complaining about it."

I asked them something unintentionally.

"Why don't you accompany me to Aster?"

I would be very happy if my girlfriends went with me, but I got scared since they might know what I was going to do and it would be dangerous for them.

Fortunately, they said the following.

"Thank you for the offer, we are glad you proposed it to us, but we can't accept it."

"...That's right, the director asked us to stay since weeks ago. There are not many noble students and of those who were getting better grades, only we are left. We'd like to go to be together, but we'll see each other during the vacations."

I felt a little bad that they won't go.

"Well, it can't be helped...the night is young, so how about we talk about us?"

Both of them were lying on my chest, hearing what I said, they came close to my face to say.

"I want to know all about your childhood and what you did before we met!"

"We'll tell you our lives too, we have a whole week for that."

I smiled hearing them as I caressed them.

"Gosh, I really do have some spoiled brides."

And so, begins my life of being engaged to the women I love.

◇◇◇

The newly engaged week was over.

Rudel and the girls returned to the capital on Sunday night to drop off their things.

Today, Monday, was the day Rudel was leaving to study at Aster.

In a newly upgraded room of the academy, Alisa and Airi were sitting.

They were drinking tea with cookies that the three of them had prepared yesterday.

Near them, a white colored sphere was watching through a window.

"Are you sure they don't want to go see him off?"

Airi was happily eating a chocolate cookie in the shape of Rudel.

Alisa drank the drink contentedly, and it was she who answered Bell.

"We had a whole week together to enjoy. Besides, it's not like we won't see him again, it'll be just like before we met."

Airi added to what Alisa said after they finished eating.

"It's true, besides, he said that by summer vacation we would see each other again."

Bell watched as besides tea and cookies, there were other items on a table.

They were books on magic, improvement of a territory, and gifts from Rudel that did not belong to this time.

Bell, too, was observing something that caught her interest much more.

"You're happy about those gifts aren't you?"

On the ring fingers of both left hands, was a silver ring with a diamond in there.

They both smiled even more as they remembered what happened a week ago.

"It's such a weird tradition from your territory, but it's still very beautiful."

"I never imagined rings were given for more than luxuries, what do I call them? Engagement rings, right?"

They were happy, their love was finally accepted and happiness awaited them after finishing the academy on a new island to live on.

"...It is true that we will miss him, but, if we go to the port; we would start crying."

"Yesterday we said goodbye as we returned to the academy and almost cried."

Since they returned, Rudel said goodbye to his family in his own way, then to the Queen, a not at all disguised face of disgust to the King and several tears for his mentor.

Rudel's mentor of tea and chivalry was appointed as the new director of the academy.

The old one fled in a very shameless manner. The remaining teachers nominated him in unison as the palace wanted to put a special nobleman in charge.

The mentor accepted and asked the girls to stay on to improve the education.

Alisa sipped her tea made by Rudel before heading to the port.

Airi was biting into another Rudel-shaped cookie they made together yesterday.

They had the same thought as they watched out the window, a certain ship rising.

(...I wanted to go with you too.)

◇

I was supposed to be leaving after finishing some business in the capital.

The reason for my delay was her.

"Are you going to want to sneak in by any chance?"

"It sounds very tempting, but I just came to say goodbye in person before going to my work."

Eleonora-or rather Ellen, since she asked me to call her that, or else spread strange rumors about me.

I met her by chance at the port after returning from the academy. I will leave Bellion in the kingdom, I just need Ixion.

I did, since I need someone to take care of the girls in the absence of my presence, I told him that if any suspicious guys approached them, to get rid of them. Not to kill them obviously.

Ixion's new body. Schwartz, will stay anchored on the borders between the kingdom and Aster in case danger arises for either of them.

I will go in Schwerts and stay until I have obtained that weapon.

Ellen, he was badgering me in a not at all subtle way.

"I'm engaged."

She laughed in a very mischievous way.

"You think that matters to me? I wouldn't mind being number 2 in your little harem, one requirement is supposed to be big busted and I meet that requirement."

She held up her large breasts for him to see.

"Thank you, but I already have breasts at home- I mean girlfriends- two beautiful girlfriends to pamper me!"

She shrugged her shoulders at that.

"It's a shame, but I'll tell you that much. I would be offended if Lecia-sama ended up as your mistress and I didn't."

"The Queen and I have nothing!"

I'm trying to forget all the harassment I caused her, don't add fuel to the fire.

She seemed startled by something, I turned around to see what it was.

There was nothing there, what did happen was that she suddenly approached me.

Her hands grabbed my shoulders, her breasts pressed against me and her tongue.

Her tongue curled around mine.

It was a wild move, I didn't let myself and respond aggressively until I realized she was not my girlfriend.

I withdrew my tongue, but she embraced me fully, our faces came closer.

"I don't care if you play with the Bismarck's' daughter and that other girl, and even if you have fun with the queen or any other woman. I will accept all your mistresses and I, by the end of your studies, will become your wife. Look forward to it, dar~ling~. ❤"

She withdrew looking at me with those seductive eyes, for a moment I thought of telling her to become my second wife, indeed, as her name suggests, she is quite the lioness.

She turned around and walked to the exit of the port.

I had another woman's saliva on my mouth, I won't lie, I wiped it off with my tongue instead of a handkerchief.

I watched as her ass swayed purposely from left to right in that black dress.

"She's a bad sign, I must avoid contact in any way."

I boarded Schwerts to set sail at once after being notified by a nobleman below her that her cargo was already settled.

I took my leave and shouted to Ixion.

"Ixion! Did you see it?"

"See what?"

"Don't play dumb with me, you have eyes everywhere."

"That's true, I'm just proud that he's a man at last, he already has three women at his disposal, all that's left is to think of a plan to conquer the queen."

"Stop saying weird things and let's go, straight to Aster!"

"That's east, there's nothing there. Aster is to the north."

"Let's go straight to Aster!"

"...At least he pointed correctly this time."

I pointed north.

Schwerts soared up, slowly, I was flying straight to where I will be an infiltrator to find a weapon and steal it.

Studying abroad as an alibi so I can steal their technology, I feel like a spy.

I watched as ships from the kingdom arrived at the port.

The wind in my face as I walked on the deck next to Ixion at my side.

"Won't you miss them?"

"...Yes, but they are safe. Erselica and the idiots are safe on their island, my family is famous and me, I'm a hero. Life is starting to smile on me."

"I see."

"I wonder what kind of adventures and danger await us on Aster?"

I laughed as I did so, as this grimy fantasy world of a generic RPG game doesn't know who I am, or what I'm capable of, let alone know that I'm its worst nightmare.

I smiled at Ixion upon seeing him, and said my best line.

"No matter what awaits us. I'm a cheater, I'll win using cheats a or not, as Rudel von Bradford is the kind of man who will do anything to win."

The horizon awaited me, a window to show this world, that I will kick his ass, since, above all, I am....

"A villain!"

And nothing will stop me from being happy.
