“Good morning, Halt.”

It was the day after the wives’ conference when Leaffa called out to Halt as he was walking down the hallway.

“Morning, Leaffa.”

“I have a request for Halt, is it okay?”

“Request? Ah, you mean about Father summoning us to Alheim?”

It was the beginning of the fifth month right now.

The academy of magic was currently on vacation for 10 days.

The King of Alheim, the kingdom of the Elves, told Leaffa to show up even just once during this vacation.

“Ahh! Yes, he did say that. But, it’s fine, it’s not really important.”

“N-not really important?”

“Yes. Can you please teleport me on my own to Alheim? It’s a different matter from that of Father’s invitation.”

It was rare for Leaffa to request anything.

Halt was a bit perplexed.

“Just Leaffa? Isn’t it better if we all go?”

“Everyone seems to be busy, so it’s fine even if I’m on my own.”

“Hmm, really. By the way, what’s your business? If there’s anything I can help you with, I’ll do it.”

“Ah, it’s okay. I think Halt will also become busy in the coming days, so please stay at the mansion, alright? We have plans, after all.”

“Eh?”

Halt was surprised that he was involved in a plan without him knowing about it.

“I don’t have much time, so please do teleport me to Alheim!”

“Y, yup. Got it.”

Leaffa urged Halt, so he opened a magical teleportation circle that would lead to Alheim.

“Are you sure you’re okay being alone?”

“Yes! I’ll call you after I’m done. I just have to talk to this bracelet, right?”

“Yup. You can contact me through that.”

Halt used teleportation magic to add a calling feature to the bracelets he gave to each of his family members.

“Thank you very much.”

Leaffa kissed Halt.

“Alright, I’ll go now.”

“Take care, okay.”

Halt waved his hand, and Leaffa waved back before stepping into the teleportation circle that he prepared, and it took her to Alheim.

“Halt seems unruffled lately whenever we kiss, even though my heart’s pounding…”

Leaffa mumbled upon reaching the hill overlooking Alheim.

Well, anybody would probably get used to it after being kissed by several girls everyday.

Leaffa understood that it might be inevitable, but still, she couldn’t come to terms that she was the only one feeling excited about it on her own.

“How about a Bunshin Magic spell that could change his personality for a bit? An naive Halt… yup, that’s a bit cute, I think. Our hearts are racing as we spend the night —”

Leaffa’s wild idea was expanding.

She couldn’t help but break into a wide grin.

After a moment, Leaffa started to walk towards Alheim with a spring on her feet.

“Halt, morning, meow!”

“Good morning, Halt.”

“Morning, Merdie, Luna.”

Merdie and Luna called out to me right after I teleported Leaffa.

“Halt, can you teleport us to Vestier, meow?”

“Please.”

“It’s fine by me, but…why?”

“I can’t tell you the reason yet, meow. Then… is it a no, meow?”

Hey Merdie, that’s too sly of you.

You’re too sneaky.

There’s no way I can refuse you when you make that face while asking me.

“Alright. I won’t ask. — Okay, it’s already connected to Vestier. Call me through the bracelet when you’re coming home.”

I opened the teleportation circle to Vestier.

“Thankie, meow!”

Merdie jumped to my arms, and kissed me with that same vigor.

“Okay, I’m going now, meow.”

“Yeah, take care.”

I was about to see Merdie off as she stepped into the magical teleportation circle, when —

“Wait, Merdie. I-I also want to…kiss Halt.”

Luna wasn’t used to kissing me, it seemed.

Her shy appearance was cute, and it made my heart pound for a bit.

“Take care too, Luna. If something happened, call me right away.”

I gently kissed Luna after saying that.

“…Luna?”

Luna was in a daze, as usual.

“Okay, okay. Alright, we’re going meow~”

Merdie put in a bit of force and pulled Luna’s hand as she stepped into the teleportation circle.

“Go safely, you two.”

──＊＊＊──

The mansion was quiet today, for some reason.

Leaffa, Merdie and Luna went out so early in the morning, but still, this was a little too quiet.

Was everyone still asleep?

I went to the dining hall while ruminating on these thoughts.

“Good morning, Halt-sama.”

“Morning, Tina.”

Tina was the only one here, preparing breakfast.

“Eh? It’s just the two of us today?”

We always had our breakfast with everyone, but right now, Tina only prepared breakfast for us two.

“Yes. Everyone seemed to have some business to attend to, so they all went out. Today, only Halt-sama and I are in your mansion.”

Mai and Mei returned to the Spirit Realm, it seemed.

Hakua transformed into a dragon, then Youko, Ryuka, Seira and Elmia rode on her back and they went somewhere.

All my wives beside Tina left.

I didn’t get any prior notice that they would leave, so I was a bit lonely.

Of course, I didn’t want to restrain them or bind them, and it’s not like I want them to report about where they’re going…

I just wanted to greet them with a good morning.

“Sorry for the wait. Let us have our breakfast?”

“Yup. Thanks for the food.”

I ate the breakfast that Tina prepared.

It was as delicious as ever.

… That’s right.

There’s only Tina here — that’s wrong.

I’m alone with Tina right now.

When I thought about it carefully, it’s been a long time since we were alone together since my wives had increased recently.

“…It’s only the two of us today, right.”

“Indeed, it is as you say.”

“Er, if Tina is okay with it…it’s still morning, but… do you want to take a bath with me?”

“I’ll go!!”

Tina immediately agreed.

“Fufufu, house-sitter’s privilege~”

“Hm? Did you say something?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

“…Oh.”

Tina mumbled something, but it was too soft so I didn’t catch it.

“It’s been a while since we entered the bath together, just the two of us. Let’s make out a lot?”

“Y-yeah.”

Oops, this is bad.

I was so excited that my little Halt was about to turn into Hulk.
