69. Harmonious Harem
That day, I honestly didn’t know how I managed to walk out of Izalis’s room. I had completely forgotten whether there were any “lipstick marks” or if my clothes carried any scent of perfume… All of that slipped my mind until I returned to my own place. Taking advantage of the fact that Kfeir and Nilu hadn’t come back yet, I realized something was off before I took a good soak in the pool, and only then did I manage to regain a bit of my composure.
Fortunately, this time my “mission” to meet Izalis alone was accomplished. Although it almost fell apart at the end, I managed to hold my ground. Nothing happened face to face with the elven saintess, and afterward, I shared some of my “thoughts” with her.
At this point, all that was left for the elven saintess Izalis was to wait for us to help her escape from her pursuers and settle down somewhere in the elven kingdom of Rodland. What followed was our own “plan.”
The next day, in a certain field on the outskirts of the town governed by the elven princess Ilushir.
In this expanse where one could only see green grass and scattered trees, just walking around felt like a mini marathon. Therefore, ordinary elves wouldn’t even consider such a desolate place for a date. However… for us, this was the most suitable “picnic spot.”
At this moment, in the center of the field, Kfeir, Nilu, and I were having a special “date.” In my line of sight, Nilu, dressed in a maid outfit and playing the “maid role,” had also temporarily shed her disguise as a “white-haired elf,” just like Kfeir and me. After circling around us for quite a while, she finally returned.
“Mr. O’Keelid, I’ve already made all the preparations for ‘leaving’ in advance. I just checked, and everything seems fine. To put it simply: if you change your mind now and want to abandon that troublesome long-eared woman and head back directly, we just need to send a signal.”
[The preparations to leave ‘this era’ are complete.]
The script appeared alongside Nilu’s words, and it was precisely this reason that I had to bring the two girls to such a desolate place, one that couldn’t even be considered a “dating spot.”
The only thing that needed correction was Nilu’s little complaint.
“I’m not backing out yet, Nilu. Let’s see this through to the end. Besides, the Elf Saintess is indeed very ‘important’ to me; you should understand that, right, Nilu?”
Then, after Nilu accepted my reasoning, I added, “Once we ‘send her off’ and confirm her safety, we can quietly leave this place.”
We came to “this era” to fundamentally disrupt the “death script” that the Elf Sisters were bringing towards me, and the means to do so were soon discovered and implemented after our arrival—specifically, to prevent the three sisters, still princesses in the Rodland Kingdom of the white-haired elves, from committing the “bad deeds” dictated by traditional views.
Although I had indeed thwarted the malicious intentions of two of them directed at the Elf Saintess several times, the future “death script” had already vanished. But… even now, the dangerous script surrounding the Elf Saintess had not completely disappeared. As a precaution, I planned to wait until the Elf Saintess was settled and everything in this era became safe before leaving with the two girls.
So today, we were here for the last confirmation of the “departure location” and its surroundings. After this, we would follow the little princess Ilushir’s plan to send the Elf Saintess away to hide.
“Stop, stop, stop! I’m not in the mood to argue with you today, Nilu.”
The next moment, Kephiel interrupted our “secret conversation,” saying, “So don’t just stand here sharing ‘little secrets’ that I don’t know about. Save the bickering for later.”
Perhaps because we were here today to “confirm the departure signal,” which could also be considered a… date? My wife, in a good mood, surprisingly didn’t intend to pick a fight with Nilu but instead waved her hand to start directing her.
“Weren’t you the one who prepared lunch? Lay out the tablecloth and bring it out.”
“Miss, have you forgotten that I’m no longer your maid?”
“I see, so you want to spend the rest of the day arguing? I’m game.”
“…”
Nilu shot a displeased glare at Kephiel, then glanced at me, but ultimately began to help Kephiel prepare lunch. As they spread the tablecloth on the grass, I sat down, and they both unconsciously leaned in from either side.
Being sandwiched between two beautiful girls, as the beneficiary of this “dream come true” scenario that would make any other man wake up smiling, should I say something? Because… usually bickering, Kephiel and Nilu were particularly “harmonious” today.
This scene was incredibly delightful for me as a man, to the point where I felt a bit restless. Could it be that the two ladies sensed something from yesterday when I was alone with the Elf Saintess Izalis, which almost caused a stir? But there was no reason for that! After I fled back to my room, I immediately dove into the bathroom and soaked myself until I was nearly bursting! Or could it be that girls have some special “scent markers” that can be detected no matter how much they wash?
Then, unexpectedly, Nilu, who knew I had a “script,” suddenly asked!
“Mr. O’Gilid, are you thinking about ‘that’?”
“!”
“‘The matter of death.’”
“Ah… yes, yes, haha…”
I finally let out a sigh of relief in my heart. As for what I had just been thinking, it’s better not to tell Nilu. A man must have a few little secrets of his own to become more charming.
“Indeed, the pure white nun Urasilu and the true form of the Sword Saint Ludwig no longer pose any threat to us. After we return, their ‘behavior’ should change somewhat, but what can be confirmed is: at least they will no longer be our enemies.”
“Eh? But Oujilid…”
As she spoke, Kefir cut a piece of bread and even directly offered it to my mouth. “The elf sisters are three…”
If possible, I would certainly like to enjoy the service of being fed by two beautiful girls, one in front and one behind. But it was precisely because of Kefir’s words that I didn’t immediately clear my mind and start to enjoy.
I exchanged glances with Kefir.
“That’s right, there are three elf sisters. So, Kefir, if I tell you: the bounty hunter Ilushir, who is now the little princess, has had no malice towards us from the very beginning… would you believe it?”
And this was one of the things I was most conflicted about!

The new character is still being revised and can’t be seen yet; perhaps I can see the sketch tonight.
