When Rion was encountering Shura.

　Marie - the evil woman who was Rion's sister in her previous life and completed a reverse harem - was in trouble.

　The entrance to the mansion.

　There was the figure of Eryk on his knees.

　The beautiful young man with red hair is a student like Marie.

　He is a classmate of hers and has red hair with medium hair that is twisted and twisted.

　He is also a man with an unusual obsession with Noel and was abolished after he attacked Rion's mansion.

　Facing such a boy, Marie had a drawn-out look on her face.

(What does this mean?!)

　Marie was also Marie, and it was a shura.

　Eryk - [Eryk Leta Barriel] was raising his voice.

''I have fallen in love with you. I--Please keep me--on your side!

　Eryk says such things, but he was formerly the lad of a great nobleman.

　The former heir son of the Barriel family, a former heir son of the Barriel family, which is one of the seven major nobles representing the Arzel Republic - now one of the six major nobles, has asked Marier to get down on his knees and put him by his side.

　Eryk, who used to be obsessed with Noel, is now obsessed with Marier.

　Marie is drawn to Eryk's enthusiasm.

(Why is this guy coming towards me!　I didn't cause the event. (It's not even me you're dealing with in the first place!

　The target of that damsel's attack, Eryk, is supposed to be tied to Noel, the protagonist of the second game.

　If they don't bond, the world is in danger.

　Surrounding Eriq, who has fallen in love with Marie, are the ones with five different hair colors - Julius and the others.

''It's good nerve to say that you loved a different woman not long ago and then switch to Marie.

　All five of them are angry.

'We need to educate them,'

　Zilk is quietly angry.

'Because I haven't forgotten what you did to me to hurt me.

　Greg, injured from fighting Erik, snapped his fingers in a threatening manner.

'You're ready for this, aren't you?　I will not let you go near our Marie--I will not let you leave for free.

　Likewise, Chris, who had been injured, carried a wooden sword on his shoulder.

'Do you know how we feel about you guys?　You're too much of a bug after all you've done.

　Not to Eryk, but Brad, who was severely injured by the same Republic's nobleman, was also seriously angry.

　In front of those five people, Eryk is showing a thick attitude.

''It has nothing to do with you guys. I'm in love with Marie-san - no, I'm in love with your sister's way of life. Sister, please keep me by your side!''

　I didn't expect you to call your sister.

　Marie wanted to hold her head in her hands.

(What the hell is this situation!　(Help, big brother!

　I threatened the handsome man and he came to me to make me a prefect.

　In her mind, Marie asked Leon for help.

　Behind her, Kyle's shoulders slumped.

'There's going to be more people to have to take care of again.

　Kara agrees.

'It's hard enough with just the five of us, but to add another person to the mix--'

　Some of the servants came with a delegation from the Kingdom of Horfath, but it's still more trouble,

　Marie says to Erik.

'Go home.'

　Eryk replies--

'I have no home to go back to.

　He turns over and explains to Marie that he came out of the family home to be kicked out.

　Relations between the Horphath Kingdom and the Arzel Republic have become hectic since Pierre's incident.

　Just as they are about to reach an agreement on negotiations, Erik attacks Leon, which leads to trouble.

　Erik was abolished.

　Even if he returns to the House of Barriel, there is no bright future for him.

　Marier realizes this, and inwardly--.

(Don't look like an abandoned puppy!　It's not my fault. d*mn it.　(I don't feel good about kicking him out here, and I don't want to push him on my brother--)

　-- now Angier and the others are at Rion's side.

　Because of her past of taking Julius, her fiancé, from Angier, Marie cannot ask for help from Rion.

　She was afraid to meet Angier.

　Julius advises Marier.

'Let's protest to the Republic through the embassy. Marier, it's not your concern.

　It was the right thing to do.

　But Marie was a woman with enough compassion to take care of a no-good group of five.

''-- I'm not a customer. If you work as a live-in worker, I'll admit it.

Marie!

'It's fine. And if you whine about it, I'll beat you out of it.

　Julius tried to stop Marie, but Erik smiled.

'Yes, sister!　I'm going to do my best!

　This is how Eric, who has lost everything, ends up in Marie's care.

◇

　Leon's house.

　Livia was confused by Angel's words.

'Angel, you can't ask Rion-san to marry Noel-san - are you serious?

　Rion is also in a state of abandonment.

　He didn't think he would be asked to marry her.

　But Luxion is the only one who is convinced.

''-- You are prioritizing the benefits that the Holy Tree gives you? It's the right decision.''

The irony?　But it's worth it.

　The Holy Tree has supported the Arzel Republic.

　Angier said he would accept Noel if he could get that power.

　Livia stops him.

'Wait. What will we do about our feelings for each other?　Besides, is that what you want, Angel!

　Approaching his own fiancée with another woman.

　It was unusual by all accounts.

　Even Noel was surprised.

'That's ridiculous. You guys are engaged, aren't you?

　He hugged the case containing the Holy Tree saplings and cringed.

'It's cheap if it solves our future energy problems.

　Livia is quick to argue.

'Keh, but Luc said you won't be doing anything like the Holy Tree any time soon,'

　A sapling of the Holy Tree.

　Because it is still a sapling, it cannot do the same things as the current Holy Tree.

　It can't prepare a large number of magic stones, nor can it create treasure balls - not even blessings can give it the same level of benefit as the Holy Tree.

　Luxion adds.

''I'm judging that it will take at least three hundred years to be able to receive the same level of benefits as the current holy tree, at the earliest.

　That didn't faze Angier.

'It will take some time, I suppose. But it will be a treasure for the future Holfert Kingdom - or our descendants. It's an asset for the future. We want it for ourselves.

　Livia clasps her hands together and looks down.

'It's not--it's not right.'

　Angel agreed with Livia's words, but seemed a little sad.

'--I think so too,'

◇

　Night.

　Angier called me up and I was to talk to him alone.

　Luxion is not by my side right now.

　He's going to do some work with Clairele.

　In the room I asked Angier about the daytime.

'--are you serious about getting married?'

　Angel laughed, a little annoyed, and removed his gaze from me.

'Are you mad?　But it's such a fascinating story. If you ask me, the Respinus family existed as a family of priestesses. If that's the case, then it's a bloodline that is apt for the role of a priestess. The Holy Tree Seedling alone is a one-handed failure.

　After hearing Luxion's story, he decided that it would be good for his future.

　He decided that he needed Noel's power and bloodline to do so.

　I can see why the Holy Tree is so attractive.

　In fact, the Arzel Republic has prospered on the strength of the Holy Tree.

　Even the Horfath Kingdom would want the Holy Tree if they could get it.

　I know, but--''

"Leon, you and I are noblemen. For the sake of the country, the territory, the people - we have a responsibility to the future. That's why we're nobles.

　I'm telling you to be patient for the future.

　I didn't expect my fiancé to say this to me.

　Am I actually not very well-liked?

　Ange lowered her gaze as she grew uneasy.

'You don't like Noel?'

I don't hate you, but I don't think marriage is the same.

'Marriage is the most obvious union. Besides, it cannot be given to another house or man. In the first place, the sapling would die if it were not with you, wouldn't it?

　It's like Luxion managed it and somehow or other.

　I don't know if it will grow up in the middle of nowhere.

　I think it might grow, but managing it is a different matter.

　That sapling might choose another troublesome person to be its guardian without permission.

　If I take it back and someone in the Horphath Kingdom takes the sapling and Noel away from me - it will be a problem again.

　But I still want the Holy Tree.

　--Angel's thoughts are not wrong either.

　If you ignore his personal thoughts, though.

'I can't marry the three of you, you know.

　I whine, and Angel smiles at me.

'I know, I know. Look out for Noel and Livia. I - I'm fine with them both. If you can't, you can break off the engagement.

What?

　What are you talking about?

I made the suggestion. The responsibility is mine. Besides, it's a lot of work to deal with three women. In your case, it's a matter of circumstance. So, if you're a burden, leave me--

　You know, you're putting me on the spot.

'No!　No!　No!

　When I answered immediately, Angier was a little surprised.

'Leon, you--'

　Angel's ex-fiancée Julius broke off the engagement.

　Afterwards, I was tired and exhausted, so breaking off the engagement was impossible.

　I apologize to Angel.

''Absolutely no!　I'm not breaking off the engagement!

　I said selfishly, and Angel chuckled.

'You're really - no, you and I are both idiots.

　I was having trouble with my two fiancées and suddenly I was in the process of marrying the other one.

　What the hell is going on in my second life?

''Do you really want that many holy tree saplings?''

Most people would kill for it if they knew. By any means necessary. I'm sure the Arzer Republic hasn't given up on it either.

　A priestess of the Holy Tree Seedling.

　If people know, they may know Noel's origins from there.

　One troublemaker after another.

　Ange makes a suggestion to me.

'Rion, you're coming home with us. The Holy Tree Seedling and Noel will be coming back with us. The Republic is not very good at fighting foreign wars. If we escape, we win.

　For the sake of the future - Angier was willing to sacrifice himself for it.

　I know that he decided it was worth it.

　But - is that sapling worth it?

　He smells like a piece of shit.

　But.

No, I've still got work to do. I'm staying.

To do?　--what's next?

　To Angier's skeptical gaze, he's actually working hard to stop the world from being in danger!　I couldn't say that.

　You'd be surprised how false I am when I say it.

　It sounds like a joke.

　I was in trouble when I heard a knock on the room.

　I answer and it's Livia who comes in.

　She's in her nightgown and holding a pillow.

'What's up, Livia?'

　Angier asked.

Why don't the three of us sleep together today?

　Something beyond Lucky Skebe.

　I thought I'd had better luck than that.

　Come to think of it, they're my fiancés.

　I don't mind if I mess with them!

　Angel smiled and nodded.

'I don't mind. Leon, what about you?

I'm always ready!

　I was enthusiastic, and Angel was slightly taken aback by my enthusiasm.

'Oh, I see. That's good to hear.'

　Thank you, God, for this good fortune!

◇

　God--why would you put me through such a painful ordeal?

　The three of us in bed.

　Livia and Angel are sleeping on either side of me, with me in the center.

　Their sleeping faces are so peaceful - I feel like I'm being trusted.

　But that's not the point.

　Are you going to mess with those two?

　Of course I will!

　Who the hell are you going to mess with if you don't mess with these two?

　But.

　I want you to think about this.

"Which one do I start with?

　I only have one body.

　I don't have the skills to take on two people at once.

　I mean, it's physically impossible.

　It may seem like a small matter, but won't there be a dispute in the future over which one of us gets the upper hand?

　And that's how I feel.

　--I want to have my hands in both directions.

　But I don't know which one to start with.

　The social position and all that, Angier, but is that enough to put Libya on the back burner?

　I can't sleep at all, thinking about such things.

　Then the two spheres that show up.

　It was the red-eyed Luxion and the blue-eyed Cleare.

''You're a slacker.''

'Oh, but it's important to know which one to start with. Maybe they'll hold on to you for the rest of your life. Women can be very jealous.

Why are you guys in the bedroom?

　I asked.

"I was worried that the master would fail.

"Let me give you advice on what to do if you make a mistake.

Stop peeking!

　These guys are working on the assumption that I'm going to fail - you don't really think I'm a master, do you!
