I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 131 - There's Polygamy Here

Chapter 131 - There's Polygamy Here

After coming to visit Isis-san’s home, trials quickly began to swoop upon me, and even though I’m already embarra.s.sed from all this happiness, I feel like my mind’s exhausted.

And as I’m exhausted like that, Isis-san began to worry and suggested that I should go to bed a little early.

It’s true that I’m mentally unable to keep up…… but it’s mainly because my heart is beating too much around Isis-san, and unless I don’t settle down at least once, I might not be able to talk to her for a while.

Deciding to take Isis-san’s suggestion, I move towards the room that Isis-san is going to lend me.

The room that Isis-san has prepared for me is…… to be honest, absurdly large.

In the center of the room, which is so large that you’d think that this was actually the reception room, there’s a bed decorated with glittering splendor, and apparently, she went out of her way to buy it for me.

I felt bad about having such a luxurious bed prepared for me, so when I asked Isis-san if it had cost her quite a bit of money……

[…..If you need…… anything else…… I’ll go buy it.]

[……Ah, no, I’m fine.]

As Isis-san took out a mountain of white gold coins with a calm smile on her face, I immediately shook my head.

What the heck is with that ridiculous amount of money!? Isis-san, you’re actually absurdly rich!? N- No, she would certainly be one since she built a castle like this, and I heard that very rare gems can be extracted from this area, so maybe that’s how she got all her money.

Anyway, I had to sleep in that luxurious bed, and after thanking Isis-san, I laid down on the soft futon…… And it seems that I was so tired that I didn’t even notice it, as if I’m sucked into a sinkhole, I feel my consciousness immediately sink into slumber.

Wondering how long I’ve been asleep, I slowly open my eyes, feeling some comforting warmth embracing my body.

Trying to slowly get up in the dimly lit room with the faint light of the Illumination Magic Tool…… I stiffened as I felt something grab my clothes.

……Is it just my imagination? It’s just that I have a very bad feeling…… There’s no way… there’s no way that’s the case, right?

Feeling my heart thumping loudly, I slowly threw off the blanket that was covering me……

[……Nuuu……]

[ ! ? ! ? ]

There was Isis-san, sleeping with her small hands gripping on the chest part of my nightwear, snuggled up to me.

I don’t know when she snuck into my futon, but Isis-san was sleeping peacefully, her face buried in my chest, her breath tickling my skin, and I felt my body temperature rise all at once.

Moreover, that’s not all…… Isis-san was wearing…… a baby doll……

The thin, blue baby doll matches Isis-san’s delicate and lovely atmosphere, as if she’s a cute fairy, but most of all, the fabric of such clothing was thin and a little transparent.

(T/N: This is a baby doll. It only cost me my mom’s judging eyes to google this.)

[……Gulp……]

I could hear the sound of my gulp loudly rang on my ears at the sight of her figure, which is so sensational and defenseless.

Her sleeping face is so defenseless and cute that even people who dislike her because of her magic power would say that her sleeping face is so cute.

And when it’s not someone you dislike, but rather an incredibly beautiful girl who’s usually so lovely while harboring feelings closer to liking, the destructive power dealt is quite unimaginable.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the one in front of me right now is an angel, but before her, my head is so hot that I can’t think calmly at all.

Even so, I’m desperately trying to keep my reasoning in check, but a voice leaks out of the mouth of Isis-san, who is sleeping as if she were chasing after me.

[……Nuuuu…… Kaitooo……]

[ ~ ~ ! ? ]

Her sweet, bewitching voice shook my mind, as if someone just slammed my head with a baseball bat.

A- A little touch should be fine, right……

Just as my hand was about to reach out along with those thoughts, I quickly slapped it with my other hand as hard as I could.

Wait, wait, wait! What the f*ck are you thinking, you big stupid idiot!!!?

To touch a sleeping woman without permission, no matter how much she likes me, is the worst thing a man…… no, a human being can do! Cool off your head!!!

I desperately held on to my reasoning that was about to disappear and retracted my hand.

To be honest, Isis-san’s appearance right now really makes anyone salivate but…… I can’t betray Isis-san, who also trusts me.

Anyway, how long am I going to look at her!? Just forget that she snuck here and put covers back on her body!!!

In the midst of my confused thoughts, I managed to pull the covers up again…… Just at that moment, I saw something faintly glitter on Isis-san’s face.

[……I don’t want…… to be…… alone.]

[………………..]

I don’t know what she’s dreaming about.

However, for this person…… The fear of loneliness really is something that has been following her since long ago.

When I saw the tear on Isis-san’s face, I felt my previously vague emotions take shape inside me.

I don’t want…… Isis-san to be sad. I want her to always have a smile on her face.

Isis-san has power that is close to the top of this world, but she is neither invincible nor unhurtable…… That’s why I want to protect her heart.

I wanted to protect her from the feeling of loneliness that still takes root in her heart…… I felt that strongly in my mind.

Slowly, I put my hand close to Isis-san’s face and carefully wipe her tears away.

Thereupon, Isis-san seems to have reacted to my action and slowly opens her red ruby eyes.

[……Hmmm…… Kaito?]

[Ahh, sorry. Did I wake you up?]

[……It’s okay…… Good morning…… Kaito.]

[Good morning.]

Seeing the smile on Isis-san’s lips as if she’s relieved to see my face, I smile back at her.

[Isis-san, now that you’re awake, should we do something?]

[……Eh?]

[I heard there are lots of books here, and I’d like to see them. There’s also that place where you can mine gems, right? If it’s alright, can you take me there?]

[……Kaito.]

[We still have at least two days left…… Since we’re together, let’s go have lots of fun. Let’s go do lots of things together. Let’s go see lots of things together! What do you think?]

[ . . . . . . ! ? ! ? ]

I don’t know if she sensed the thoughts held in my words, but Isis-san looked at me with tears in her eyes.

It’s clearly different from the tears she was shedding as she slept a moment ago, as those tears fall down even as she looks happy…… and as if she’s a pulled bow, she leaped up the soft futon and unto my body.

[I- Isis-san!?]

[……Kaito…… I love you.]

[ ! ? ]

Those words had been said many times before, but I feel like this time was different…… Her voice, her thoughts, they powerfully shook the depths of my heart.

[……Even more than when we first met…… much more…… I love you…… much more……]

[……Isis-san.]

[……More than anyone else…… and more than anything else…… in the world…… I love you…… Kaito.]

[……………..]

Those words that she said greatly shook my heart.

If she have already said that much, no matter how stupid I am, I will be aware of it..

I see, I…… I’m starting to fall in love with Isis-san.

Gentle and strong, and yet, somehow fragile and lovely.

It’s impossible…… for me to not be happy.

But at the same time, it makes me very sad.

If it’s about Isis-san…… I don’t need to be asked if I like her or not, for I like her.

But even so, the one that exists the most in my heart is Kuro.

That’s why I have to tell her that……If I remain ambiguous, it would be rude to Isis-san.

[……Isis-san. I……]

[……I know.]

[Eh?]

[……That you like…… Kuromueina the most…… am I right?]

[……Why……]

[……I know…… if it’s about…… my beloved Kaito…… I know it.]

[…………….]

Seeing Isis-san’s face smiling as she said that, I felt a throbbing pain in the depths of my heart.

[…… I…… love Kaito…… who also loves Kuromueina…… that’s why……]

[ ! ? ! ? ]

It’s painful…… It’s impossibly painful.

However, it’s something I had to say at some point…… as long as it’s not convenient to say that I like both Kuro and Isis-san. It’s something I’ll have to go through at some point……

[……That’s why…… I…… no matter “what number I am”…… I would be fine with it.]

[…… Ehh?]

A- Arehh? Wait a minute, the words she’s saying are totally different from what I’m expecting though!?

Could you wait a minute there!? Even if it’s just 10 seconds, please let me think here!!!

In response to Isis-san’s confession, I tried telling her how I felt but…… She seemed to have seen through it and affirmed my feelings.

And then, afterwards, she declares that she’s fine no matter what number she is…… It’s as if she’s making no sense.

[……N- No, but, errr…… that would be unfaithful……]

[……Eh? ……Why?]

[…….Yeah?]

A- Arehh? That’s really strange.

For some reason, Isis-san’s reaction isn’t like she can’t give up on her feelings or anything like that…… It’s like she’s really wondering why.

W- What the heck is going on? Could it be……. we’re talking about different premises here?

[Errr, Isis-san. Can I ask you one question?]

[……Unnn.]

[A man would normally only marry one woman, right?]

[……Why?]

[Why, you ask…… Isn’t that normal?]

[……Eh? …… There are some differences…… between men…… but a man would usually…… marry around “4 or 5 women” though?]

[……Huh?]

[……There are some people…… who marry only one person…… but they’re very…… rare.]

[Eeeehhhh!?]

Eh? Men usually marry four or five women here? The heck is that, is that the so-called polygamy?

[E- Errr, isn’t that something only n.o.bles do?]

[……Social status doesn’t matter…… Everyone’s like that…… There are even some who married…… as many as…… 20 people.]

[……Seriously?]

[……Unnn.]

I- I see…… That’s why she looked so strange, and that’s why she just affirmed it when she knew I like Kuro.

Dear Mom, Dad—— I found myself beginning to feel that Isis-san was important to me, but my feelings for Kuro were greater, and even though she may cry, I tried telling that to Isis-san but…… it’s just that, Isis-san told me that in the other world——- There’s polygamy here.

Kaito is starting to fall in love with Isis…… Putting that aside……

Serious-senpai: “KOKODAYOOOOOOOO!?”

……You’re still alive huh, you tenacious bast*rd……

And thus, this shows why the novel is a harem! There wouldn’t be any love triangle bullsh*t, and there wouldn’t be anyone pulling Kaito’s clothes in tears as he sees him walk away! That kind of serious development isn’t allowed here!
