Book 8: Chapter 19: The Wives’ Result Presentation

We have returned, Halt-sama.

Mai, Mei, welcome home.

Mai and Mei returned while we were waiting for Kikyou to release the Dragon God from her spell.

They returned to the Spirit Realm, apparently.

Both of them looked really happy, but they didnt tell me anything when I tried asking the reason for their good mood.

Afterward, Youko gathered all my wives together and warned Kikyou and me not to go anywhere near them.

They were talking about something. 

What might it be?

Im really curious now

Why am I being treated as an outcast here? 

Im a bit lonely, you know.

Got it, how nice of you guys.

If youre not going to tell me, Im going to use my mind reading technique and check whatever youre up to!

I started activating my mind reading spell when

Halt-sama, you cant read Youko and the girls thoughts.

Eh!?

Kikyou exposed me when I tried using my mind-reading technique.

W-why?

Even if Im like this, this concubine is still part of the high class demon race. I can grasp the general gist of what youre trying to do based on the flow of mana.

S-seriously.

Seriously. Well, this concubines hearing is quite sharp as you can see, so I can hear those girls even without using a mind reading spell.

Kikyous ears twitched.

T-then, maybe you can tell me what Youko and the others are talking about

I apologize, but I cannot do that.

Yeah, right.

If you are worried, then please be at ease. Those girls will not do something that would make be to Halt-samas disadvantage.

I-is that so

Hmm, but Im still bothered.

Maybe I can ask somebody among those girls later?

Also, please stop thinking about capturing one of those girls and interrogating her.

Eh.

Every single one of those girls view Halt-sama very favorably. If Halt-sama questioned anyone of them, no matter who it is, she will certainly answer truthfully.

Kikyou stared at the assembly of my wives while saying those words.

However, if you do that, theres a possibility that the rest of the girls will blame the person who revealed the secret. It is best to avoid that scenario.

She grasped my favorability among the girls, so shes probably using her mind reading technique at full throttle and yet shes telling me not to use mine?

Isnt that too unfair?

This concubine is fine.

Kikyou smirked, as if shes messing with me.

Really, all of her actions were too betwitching; I feel like Ill be enthralled soon.

Well, I dont want my wives relationship with each other to sour, and Kikyou told me that it wont be to my disadvantage, whatever it is, so I decided to give up and let it be.

ArrgghhHHH!

!?

Dragon God-sama suddenly moved.

I-Imalive

Dragon God-sama collapsed.

D-Dragon God-sama!?

Theres no problem. He is mentally exhausted so he fainted. Well, hes a deity, so rather than saying he lost consciousness, it might be more accurate to say that he used up all the energy of his flesh body, so he is currently resting.

 R-really?

Wait, if Dragon God-sama used up all that energy, then isnt he in a dangerous situation now?

Kikyou told me that he had been fighting with an opponent at the same level as him within his mind, so its hard to imagine just what Dragon God-sama went through for him to faint despite being a deity.

What the heck happened inside that mental world that Kikyou created?

Please leave this guy to this concubine. I will not let him harm those girls, so please be at ease.

I was still preoccupied about Kikyous magic, when she skillfully grabbed Dragon God-sama with her tail and lifted him up. 

She probably meant Ryuka and Hakua when she mentioned those girls.

Got it. Thanks, Ill leave him to you.

Understood, Halt-sama.

Kikyou vanished to the nearby woods while still carrying Dragon God-sama with her tails. 

***

Halts wives gathered together inside the secret room in his mansion.

By the way, Halt went somewhere else alone.

Thank you for your hard work. With this, let us open the second Wives Assembly Meeting now.

 Tina was the one in charge over the meeting, and everyone applauded after she gave those remarks.

Everyone, I am certain that you have all arrived from various places in order to research Bunshin Magic, so please present them. First

Wait, before we report, what happened to you, Tina?

M-me?

Halts scent is all over you, Tina, meow!

Tinas scent is also on Master. Moreover, the scent is really strong, as if both of you made skin to skin contactDont tell me, did you do that while everyone is away?

Eh, no, thats

Tina faltered in front of Merdie and Youko as they hounded her for answers.

Tina-samawhat are those traces on your neck?

Ah

Tina hurriedly tried to cover her neck with her hands, thoroughly flustered when Leaffa pointed it out.

However, a few of them, starting with Leaffa, had already noticed the traces kissmarks on Tinas neck.

Tina tried to hide it, so Halts wives confirmed what it was.

While they were running around searching for clues regarding Bunshin Magic, Halt and Tina were doing that all by themselves.

Tina-sama, how far have you gone with Halt-sama?

We want to know the details.

Seira, Mai and Mei drew closer and pressed Tina for answers.

Teacher Tina, that maids clothes are different from the set you were wearing this morning.

Luna could recall even the tiniest bit of embroidery from her memory, so she noticed that Tinas clothes were different from the maid uniform she saw Tina wearing before they left the mansion.

In short, Tina changed her maid uniform.

She had undressed once.

E-erm

Tina was steadily driven into the corner.

Even the most experienced magical swordsman didnt seem to have any secret means to get out of this predicament

Tina started to talk about what happened after the entire family left the mansion.
