Here it comes, everyone!
Mythril Golems sure are tough.
In that case...
Everyone, get back!
There's something I want to try!
Gate!
T-Touya?! What did you do?
Well, I used Gate to teleport them.
All the way into the sky 10,000 meters above us.
Over there, huh?
Let's go!
Yeah!
A<:<:el!
Come forth, Water!
Ballistic Bubbles: Bubble Bomb!
Accel, Boost!
Strike forth, Lightning!
Spear of a Hundred Thunderclaps: Lightning Javelin!
That completes our quest.
Gather up your tears
And release your unhindered light
That shines like a diamond
Don't worry, don't care
Follow your heart
Every time I spoke of my dreams, they felt closed off
Even that bird and that sky seemed monochrome to me
Yet you were there in my path, your eyes brimming with strength
Time then stopped, and deep within my heart something began to stir
Don't be afraid, and run forth
If we only have one life to live
Then be true to yourself, so you don't regret it
Gather up your tears
And release your unhindered light
That shines like a diamond
Don't worry, don't care
Follow your heart
"Chapter 1 Engagement Rings and a Hot Spring"
Hup.
Oh! Tou--
Sir Tonya'.!
Welcome back, Sir Touya.
I'm home, Renne, Cecil-sen...
Did you defeat the Mythril Golems?
Yeah.
Then you earned the Red rank?
I did. Yumina's now Blue, and the rest of us are Red.
Now we're all considered first-rate adventurers.
Sir Touya, I've prepared the bath for you.
Thank you. Then everyone else can go first.
Huh?
Where's Miss Cesca?
Oh...
I forgot her...
It does not bother me at all.
I do not mind one bit
that you left me behind and quickly returned home, Master.
No, not one bit.
Thanks to this, I have learned my new master has a fetish for abandonment play.
I don't have even an ounce of that fetish, okay?!
I do feel bad about it!
I just used Gate to return home out of habit.
Huh.
I think that's enough.
He truly seems to regret it,
and if you're too persistent, he really will abandon you.
That would be unpleasant.
Then I'll forgive you if you buy me naughty underwear that's to your liking.
That's a huge hurdle!
Even normal ones would be impossible!
I jest.
Jeez“.
Those thought circuits of hers really are incredible.
How is that perverted mind incredible?
It's her ability to pout, and the flexibility needed to tell jokes.
She's like a real person.
I wonder if it's even possible to reach that point with Program.
So, what did you want today?
To talk about the teleportation circles to the remaining Babylons.
At the moment, we don't have any definite information.
Huh? You plan to search for them?
Huh? You don't plan to search for them?
To be honest, I can't think of a reason to look for them.
Why not?!
Don't you want to know more about ancient knowledge or lost technology?
I don't.
Professor Babylon even said that this era doesn't need power that's too strong.
You're a young man with no dreams!
Well, I'll think about it once you have information on a teleportation circle.
If you're sure we can find one, I'll help you with it.
That's a promise.
If you break it, you'll be buying naughty underwear for me, too, you hear?
Please spare me that!
"Caller God"
Hup.
Sorry for calling you here without notice.
"God"
"God II I was just wondering how you were doing.
How am I doing?
There's nothing of particular note.
Thanks to you, I'm living a rather fulfilling second life.
Yes, well, I suppose there wouldn't be many special events
that can top dying and getting resurrected in another world.
Looks like your smartphone is working fine, too.
Yes.
It's been a big help to me.
I still don't really know what I want to do in this world,
but whatever I decide on will probably require money,
so for now, I'll keep working on completing extermination quests.
I see, I see.
Why hafifih you she-h your fianshées as your hhmm shreen'?
Huh? If I set my fiancées as my home screen,
it would it be super embarrassing if I ever lost it!
I'm surprised you could understand her.
What's wrong with that?
Laughing and blushing over having your loved ones as your home screen...
That's one of the real pleasures of being in love!
I don't really want to start laughing and blushing, though.
I already know!
You were doing it in town just the other day!
That day that you bought those four engagement rings!
No, I was just nervous that day,
not really blushing and laughing...
Wait, you were watching us?
I saw it, too.
You, too, God?!
I went ahead and made their fingers smooth when you put the rings on.
That's why the rings went on so easily.
Be grateful.
You guys have too much time on your hands.
This feels great.
It makes you happy, doesn't it?
I understand how you feel.
I keep finding my eyes going to mine as well...
To the engagement ring Touya gave me.
It really is enchanted with Accel, Transfer, and Storage, isn't it?
They were a big help during today's extermination, too.
That's true.
Touya is an incredible person.
You all realize that his power is exceptional, right?
I imagine Touya will continue to use his power, without reserve, to save others.
Though there might be those who seek to use his power for themselves.
He is too soft-hearted.
He's the type to be easily deceived.
I'm not too worried about those types,
since my mystic eyes will see right through them.
The real problem is harm that comes from good intentions.
What do you mean by that?
For example,
say there is a woman who loves Touya.
Now what if the people around this woman wish to use Touya,
and they impose an unreasonable demand upon her?
And what if she were to ask Touya to help with that unreasonable demand?
Even if it would mean risking harm to himself,
Touya wouldn't be able to refuse her, would he?
Now I see...
What scares me the most
is a woman like that achieving the same position as us.
Becoming his fiancée, you mean?
Yes.
I'm sure there will be more who come to love Touya,
and I'm sure he will come to have more fiancées.
Huh?!
However, let's support Touya with just the four of us for a while.
True, he can be a little reckless at times.
|-|'ll do my best!
To that end, we'll all need to grow stronger as well.
In order to share our lives with Touya!
Thanks for the repeat business!
So it'll be all finished a week from now, huh?
I hope it turns out to be a nice mythril sword.
Yes. You have my gratitude, Touya-dono.
I wasn't able to be of much help during our last extermination.
Hopefully, with this, I'll be able to give you proper support.
Well, shall we head back?
What's the matter?
U-Um, well...
I am your fiancée, right?
Huh?
Y-Yeah, you are.
In that case, well...
U-Um...
I-I'd like to spend a little more time alone with you,
a-a-and I'd like to hold hands as we walk, you know?
I hope we can walk alongside each other like this for the rest of our lives.
Yeah.
Really?!
You finally won over Touya?!
This calls for celebration!
Yumina, be sure to devote yourself to Touya even more
and support him as his wife.
Yes, Mother!
It might be tough being married to four women,
but do your best, all right?
Well, I will marry them for sure,
but not any time soon...
At the very least, that's on hold until I turn 18.
But I do want to see my grandchildren's faces as soon as possible!
Don't wait to make ba--
She just used Accel, didn't she?
Father, you have no tact at all!
MY apologies.
He just lost control because he's so happy.
But what should we do, then?
There might be all kinds of issues
around formally announcing your engagement to Yumina.
What do you mean?
For starters, the nobles who sought to wed Yumina
will likely grow hostile toward you.
On the other hand, there will also be those who come forth to curry your favor.
There will probably be stubborn fools
who refuse to acknowledge you as worthy of Yumina
without some accomplishment to prove yourself.
I see...
ls your discussion over yet?
Yes. Come on over here.
It's been a while.
Hello, Big Sis Yumina.
You, too, Touya. Have you been well?
Yeah. And you, Sue?
Of course I have!
Hey...
Will my engagement to you make me king, by any chance?
As things stand now, that's the most likely outcome.
If I get a younger brother or my uncle has a male child,
it might end up differently.
But they agreed to delay the formal announcement for a while,
so I don't think you need to think about being king and such yet.
That's true. It's just...
It sounds like it would be good to get an early start
on working toward that accomplishment the queen mentioned.
An accomplishment, huh?
I suppose she means doing something that would be of great benefit to the nation?
How's business lately?
It's bad.
We're definitely seeing fewer customers than before.
I see...
It's because there's not really any special product or sightseeing spot in this city.
An inn needs customers to spend the night there in order to make a profit.
A temporary fix won't work.
They need something that can only be found here,
that makes people want to stay here for a while.
I can make it.
Do this here, do that there...
Do this to that, then this, this, this, this, this!
"Men" Do this to that, then this, this, this, this, this!
"Men" "Women"
It's a hot spring.
I'll lend this to the Silver Moon indefinitely.
A bath is a big luxury!
If we let people in for cheap, they'll all be overjoyed!
Yeah!
They'll be sure to stay at our inn, too!
We're about to get busy now!
Let me contact some people I know, and we'll give it a test run.
Il Men“
There are a lot of old men in the men's bath.
"Women"
Touya's amazing, isn't he?
He built this incredible hot spring in no time.
Back pain, stiff shoulders...
It's even effective against the aftereffects of poison?
Oh, look, look!
It says it makes your skin smoother, too!
Really?
You can't wait to show Touya your sparkling clear skin
after soaking a while, can you?
Huh?!
L-I wasn't thinking about showing off for Touya!
M-M-Me, neither!
Nor was I!
Why are you all trying to deny it?
You all love Touya, don't you?
Or did you become Touya's fiancée with half-hearted sentiments?
Tha--
That's not true at all!
My feelings for Touya-dono are as sincere as can be!
Then please tell me about when you fell in love with Touya.
Huh?
Elze?
H-Huh?
Me first?
Yes, please!
Uh...
Ever since I first met Touya,
he's always seen me as a woman.
When he bought me (zlothes, he said I looked good in them.
Every time I recalled moments like that,
I found myself grinning.
But...
Oddly enough, it didn't feel bad, right?
Then, little by little, I grew interested in him,
and before I knew it, I realized my eyes were always following him.
l-l can't go on! No more!
So you tried to hide your love for Touya and remain just his comrade,
because you thought you could remain by his side forever that way.
Hey! How did you know that?!
It's not that I knew.
Just that I could tell.
Next is...
I really...
Tell us!
Yes!
L-I always had difficulty talking to men.
I always made them irritated with me.
But Touya was different.
When he asked me to teach him magic,
I ended up giving him a faltering explanation,
but he never got angry, and he listened to me with his full attention.
So before I knew it,
I was able to interact normally with Touya as his friend.
But then, one day, I felt a sting in my chest.
That was the day Touya brought me into the picture, right?
Huh?! H-How did you know?!
It's not that I knew.
Just that I could tell.
That was probably when I realized that I had feelings for Touya.
Now, that leaves...
M-Me, right?
I... had realized Touya-dono's true nature.
True nature?
It's hard to say that Touya-dono looks strong,
yet he has the strength of heart to stand up and fight
for the things he wants to protect, without hesitation.
He acts for the sake of others more than himself,
and he believes that reaching out to help those in need
is the natural thing to do.
Yes, Touya is...
Yeah, that's how he is!
That's why we all fell in love with him.
H-Hey, it's not fair that you've only made us share!
You tell us too, Yumina!
Huh?
For me... It's as I said once before.
The moment I first saw Touya, I knew he was the man for me.
Whether that was thanks to my mystic eyes,
simple love at first sight, or some calculation, I do not know.
But I fell in love with him.
Y-Yeah, you did mention that.
Yeah, that's why...
You went to confirm it was definitely love at first sight.
Master, shall I wash your back?
You need not worry.
A mysterious steam will conceal everything.
Stop being ridiculous and just soak quietly in your bath!
Now, now, no need to hold back.
Good thing I enchanted the top of the fence with Paralyze.
Anyone trying to climb the fence to sneak a peek will pay for it like that,
so please be careful.
The water's great.
Touya! I found one!
A ruin of Babylon!
Huh?
What?
Every day is bittersweet
(Bubbly bubbly)
I might still blush when your eyes are dose up
Our love affair goes around with the 1, 2, 3 beat of I, My, Me, Mine
But “Look solely at me“
ls something I can't say; I want you to notice my jealousy
My hero glimpsed through a lens
I want you to take everything, even your flawed kindness
And fill me up with goodness even more
(even more)
Until I burst
My heart races and aches deep within because I love you
My love is rapidly rising, but, but, but, but
I can't help that we're in another world
Let's sing about this joyous occasion illuminated by the brilliant sun!
"Together forever!"
I may not be much, but I want you to hug me from time to time,
