Update:

Hey guys,
As most of you probably know by now Disqus has stopped providing services to many sites and our site is one of them. Right now, we are in the middle of developing our independent comment system. As of today(26 March 2025), we are releasing the comment with Limited features. There are other features still under development and may take some time to roll out.

As always, please continue to support us. You can show your support in the following ways:

"Tetsuya, you probably don't know this, but those two have never had any romantic rumors about them. Especially Ferry, she barely talks to women, let alone men."

"Now that you mention it, Ferry still keeps some distance when talking to me."

Thinking back, I do remember that Ferry was quite reserved when we first met. But even so…

"I think she's just lured by delicious food."

At first, I had a barbecue using outdoor spices and yakiniku sauce, then gave her some wyvern smoked meat seasoned with those spices, which she seemed to love.

After that, whenever the two of them visited Al-Flare, I let them try various dishes and gave them sweets as souvenirs. Gradually, they started treating me more normally. Yeah, this really just feels like I've been feeding them.

"Even if the initial reason was food, I think they've never gotten close to any other men. If you've captured their stomachs with delicious meals, you might have a chance."

"I can't say for sure how Berna and Ferry feel, but since they get along well with Lilia, they probably wouldn't oppose you marrying her."

"That's right. The three of them are very close, so that shouldn't be a problem."

"………………"

Lange and Dolph were casually talking as if marrying all three of them was completely natural, but that was way too much of a leap.

Indeed, in this world, polygamy is legally accepted. In theory, one could marry as many people as they wanted. Even the king of this country has multiple wives.

Because polygamy exists, Lange and Dolph talk as if marrying multiple people is a given. But having grown up in my original world, I can't help but feel a strong sense of discomfort with the concept.

Though I don’t consider polygamy, discussing love stories with other men like this is kind of fun. Back in my world, I had no connection to romance at all.

"Let's set aside Berna and Ferry for now. You've really helped me out by talking this through. I truly appreciate it."

"I'm always in your debt, Tetsuya. I'm glad I could be of some help."

"No need to be so formal. Both you and Lilia have helped everyone here. At the very least, we're on your side."

"…Thank you both, truly."

I was really fortunate to have such great colleagues. If they ever needed help, I’d be there for them too.

"Well then, next, I'd like you to accompany me to a store I want to visit."

"Ah, okay…"

"Y-yeah…"

Lange was as unpredictable as ever.

Either way, I still didn’t have enough money to buy the Full Potion. The outdoor shop was about to level up soon, which would unlock new purchasable items.

I needed to think more about both the Full Potion and Lilia.


"So, the adventurer with the big sword defeated the dragon and ended up with the noble princess!"

"Wow, that sounds like an exciting play."

Fia's eyes sparkled as she excitedly recounted the play she had watched today. Her fluffy tail was wagging furiously, showing just how much she had enjoyed it.

It was evening. After visiting various shops in the royal capital with Dolph and Lange, we returned to the inn, where the women had already arrived.

While enjoying a delicious meal at the high-end inn, we talked about how we had spent the day.

"As expected of a royal capital’s theater. In Al-Flare, the best they can manage is setting up a small stage, but in the capital, they have a massive theater where the audience can watch from above. Plus, they even used magic for special effects. It was really impressive."

Angel also seemed to have enjoyed the play. I had seen theater performances in Al-Flare before, but having watched plays in my original world, they didn’t seem that impressive. However, the ones in the royal capital were on a different level.

And using magic in performances? That must have been quite the spectacle.

"I see. I'm glad you had fun, Angel. You didn’t run into any trouble, did you?"

"No, nothing to worry about, Brother. But the attention Berna and Ferry got was incredible. I knew they were famous A-rank adventurers in the royal capital, but I didn’t expect it to be this overwhelming…"

"Yeah, I got a taste of that yesterday myself…"

Yesterday, when I went to the market with Ferry, she attracted a ridiculous amount of attention. If both Berna and Ferry walked together, they’d stand out even more.

"After that, we had lunch and then visited some famous clothing stores in the capital… but everything was so expensive that we didn’t buy anything in the end."

"Well, royal capital boutiques use the finest materials, so that’s to be expected."

As expected of Lange—he was well-informed when it came to things that pleased women.

"So, where did you guys go today, Tetsuya?"
