Chapter 287 – Episode 287 – Magical Girl Recruitment!

◈-Lant SIDE

Tikia-san’s face turned completely red like a blush.

Seeing Tikia like that, her face her blushed along with Elsie, and Noah and Niña were smirking.

“Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee. Lant’s sincere baptism of love. ~.”

“I’m happy and my heart is beating so I can’t help it~♪”

No, it’s not just a baptism of love, it’s just a list of Tikia’s charms that I felt…

“So Rant~.”

“Uh, yes. Noah.”

“Rant wants to go out with Tikia? Does she want to make him hers?”

Noah actively asked.

“That is…”

Honestly, just looking at the reaction now, I could tell enough that Tikia had feelings for me.

When asked if I want to make Tikia-san, who likes me as a man and already a harem, my woman, of course yes! Can be answered.

Besides, Mr. Tikia is a legit loli!

She is an existence that seems to come out of a dream like a magical girl.

But I’m also a conscience…

The uneasiness of “Is it okay to increase the number of women I love?” Remains.

Still…

“…”

Tikia lifted her face slightly and was looking at me with very expectant and anxious eyes.

Those eyes are the eyes I have seen even once in my beloved lovers.

Looking at those eyes, I have already made up my mind.

“… Mr. Tikia.”

“Yes Yes!”

Come to think of it, until now, I have been confessed to by the lovers I love first.

So, in this case, I think it would be better for the man to speak first!

He looked straight at Tikia and said.

“Oh… If it’s me too, would you like to go out with me?”

“Ah…”

“Sweet!”

From a woman’s point of view, he is a ragged man who takes care of many women.

And Elsie, too, bowed her head even more, probably because I had said that she wanted to date Tikia first.

“That, that… That… Uhhh. Yeah, Rant, am I, really okay?

“I don’t judge people to extremes based on their developmental status. And if I were to question that, I wouldn’t say this.”

“…”

Tikia was silent for a moment, then got off the chair and stood right next to me.

“Ruler…”

And Mr. Tikia bowed his head towards me, holding the stick with both his hands.

“Take good care of me.”

It was an agreement that he wanted to go out with me.

“Yes, Mr. Tikia.”

Match!

And Noah and Niña gave each other high fives.

“Operation Success!”

“It went surprisingly well.”

“Huh? Noah? Mr. Niña?”

What kind of operation is this?

Blinking and looking at the two, Noah put his hands on the back of his head and said.

“No, just looking at it yesterday? It was obvious that Tikia had feelings for Lant.”

“Yes?”

“What?”

“Yes? Really?”

Me, Tikia, and Elsie both tilted their heads in surprise at the same time.

“… Elsie really didn’t notice things like this.”

“Ugh… I just thought that a good person who knew Magical Girl Marin appeared…”

“Do, comrade, Elsie…!!”

Tikia was moved by Elsie’s words and her body her trembled.

“Hehe, that’s cute and nice~ ♪ So me and Noah just decided to check Tikia’s mind around lunch while watching Tikia’s skills today. If you drag out time like this, it will only get annoying.”

“Rather, I’m glad that a wizard like Tikia, who seems to be going to be great in the future, is joining the party.”

“Uh, a wizard who’s about to become really great… Hehe…”

When Tikia heard Noah’s words, she laughed out loud.

Cute.

“And anyway, if you have feelings for Rant, you have to know that Rant is dating us, but if you go out and reveal it later, it becomes very complicated. Are you okay?”

“Um…”

Certainly, Noah and Nina were right about that.

But now I have to explain to Tina and Miranda and Melissa…

Prepare to be glad at by Melissa and Tina.

“Huh? Go, family?”

Tikia-san reacted to the word family.

Noah smiled and said to Mr. Tikia.

“Yes, family. If you go out with Rant, Tikia will eventually marry Rant, right?”

“Wait, get married…”

“We’re going to marry Lant, of course. Then we’ll be family together.”

“Waah, that’s for sure, but… Uhm…”

“Hehe, well, there’s no need to worry too much. Even if we’re going to get married, we won’t do it right away. Rather than that, Tikia~.”

“Uh, huh? What is it?”

“Our party usually goes to the dungeon only in the morning and has free time in the afternoon, right?”

“Ah… Yes. Are you going back?”

“Yeah ♪ So, when we get back… Let’s go shopping together ♪”

“Shopping?”

“Yeah, we’re going to walk around the market and shops together and do something like a social gathering with the ladies of Rant?”

“Oh, then I’ll go too!”

“Ha, but I’m going to start a discussion about my comrade Elsie and the magical girl Marin after this…”

“Hehe, we can do that later. It’s going to be the same party and we’ll become a family anyway… I’d also like to hear more about how I met Rant. It would be nice to do it. It Doesn’t matter, does it?”

“It doesn’t matter if we move the inn… But with Elsie…”

Tikia seems to want to talk about Elsie and the magical girl Marin.

Seeing Tikia like that, Elsie slightly raised her hand and said.

“Hey, Mr. Tikia… Then I’ll follow you too. We won’t be able to talk calmly, but let’s talk together while shopping.”

“Oh, oh oh… Comrade Elsie…!”

“Tikia-san, even if you don’t call me comrade…”

“Ah, sorry. I’m so moved that I don’t know…”

“Then…”

Just as I was about to say I’ll come along, Noah snapped her fingers.

“No, no. Rant has other business. This is a female-only social gathering. And…”

Silently, Noah came next to me and whispered in my ear so Tikia couldn’t hear.

“I’m going to buy some erotic underwear or clothes for Tikia. If Rant is with me, Tikia might be shy and won’t enter the store.”

… Oh wow, that kind of ultimate motive.

If so, I’ll stay still.

“I’ll wait at the inn while reading the book Tikia-san lent me. Tikia-san, I hope you become friends with everyone.”

“Uh, yes, Rant…”

After the conversation was settled to some extent, Mr. Niña said.

“Then let’s go back!”

And with Mr. Tikia’s promotion, we’ve made Mr. Tikia is a new… Returned with the result of being drawn into my harem.

When I returned to Mr. Tikia’s request, Mr. Tikia held my hand tightly and walked away.

◈-Tikia SIDE

Master in the Magic City.

You don’t sleep late and are you eating a good breakfast?

Me… I got a boyfriend in 3 days after coming to Fledan.

That’s a prerequisite for getting married.

Haha…

Is it real…

We got to know each other with the momentum as if something was swept away by a huge storm.

Besides, the man I fell in love with was a harem boy…

I was a harem boy who wanted to become a teacher…

I really don’t know how things are going to go…

Still…

Aaaaa… What is it? Open your heart!

I can’t stop raising my mouth!

I’m just walking hand in hand, but I feel like smoke coming out of my head!

Even if it’s a very complicated situation where there are other Rant’s lovers together!

Rather, why did I say that I wanted to walk hand in hand?

Even in a dungeon?

No, I definitely have a lover for the first time in my life, so even though I want to try it, why are you doing it in a place like this!

I couldn’t understand why I said that myself.

Oh yeah. That’s it.

It was because Noah smirked at me as I was about to go back and tried to hug Lant on his arm.

Come to think of it, did he provoke me to do this?

And did I get caught in plain sight?

“Hee hee hee, the operation was successful…”

I’m sure I heard a voice behind me when I said I wanted to walk hand in hand with Lant.

Ugh… To think that I, a magical genius girl, fell right into such a trap…

But I’m happy to walk hand in hand…

“Mr. Tikia.”

“Uh, huh?! What’s wrong?”

“I’m here.”

“Ah…”

While holding Lant’s hand and walking, I didn’t notice time passing and arrived at the warp device before I knew it.

Burr already… Did it end so soon?

No, considering the distance to the warp device, there was a considerable distance…

Could it be that I didn’t even notice the time passing because I was soaked in happiness?

I thought that kind of thing was only for the bastards at magic academies who say kyaaaaa~ darling~.

Hopefully I…

“Tikia, Tikia. Hands up.”

“Oh, that, yes!”

Hearing Noah’s words from behind, I put my hand on the warp device and returned to the surface with Lant’s party.

After returning to the surface and exiting the dungeon entrance, I said.

“First, can I stop by the inn where I’m staying?”

Since moving the inn is already a decision, I thought it would be a good idea to say it in advance.

“Okay then let’s all go together ♪”

After that I’m Rant… No, same party mates? Go, my family? I went to the inn where I was staying.

“Wait here.”

I went into the inn alone and told the innkeeper that I was vacating the room.

“Hmm? That doesn’t matter, but… I’ll give it as much as I stayed, minus the cancellation fee.”

“Okay.”

The ball was soon over.

There are no items left in the room in the first place.

I tried to make it as a temporary workshop in earnest from today, but until then, I just lay in bed and slept.

“Do you have anything to bring?”

“No.”

Then I got some change from the innkeeper and went to my comrades who were waiting for me.

“It’s over.”

“Is it over soon?”

“Because I don’t have anything left in the room. So, are you going shopping with the girls now?”

In fact, it’s the first time I’ve experienced shopping with the same girls.

To be honest, I’m looking forward to it a bit.

This is because I have never had any female friends, let alone male ones.

… Come to think of it, back in my days at magic academy, I was no different than a loner.

No, I have no intention of being friendly with those bitches who quarrel from the beginning.

“No? We have to go back to the fox’s shelter.”

“Yes why?”

“Yes… I have a new family, so of course I should go say hello ♪”

“Ah…”

Come to think of it, Lant still has a woman from his hometown who works as a waitress named Melissa, and Miranda and Tina from the Fox’s Shelter.

I thought about it again, but mother and daughter are members of the harem?

Why?

Could it be that Rant stole it?

No, I don’t think that’s the case with Rant’s personality…

Ho, maybe her ex-husband was a very violent person and Rant protected them and they both fell in love with him…

Ugh…

No, let’s learn some more.

Even if I thought about it needlessly like this, I would only end up embarrassing myself later because my expectations were wrong.

Let’s ask ourselves.

“Rant… Before stopping at the fox shelter, I want to ask you something.”

“What is it, Mr. Tikia?”

“Oh, by any chance… Rant plundered Miranda-san…”

“No.”

Rant said sharply.

Phew…

Nope

“Then why did Tina and Miranda-san’s mother and daughter…”

“That’s not something to talk about outside, so can we talk about it later?”

“Ah.”

Come to think of it, this place is outside.

Other people can hear it, so I shouldn’t have thoughtlessly asked such a question.

“M-I’m sorry.”

“No. I guess I was curious enough.”

And me… No, we went back to the fox’s shelter.

“Oh, welcome!”

“Welcome~.”

“I’m here?”

At the fox’s shelter, there were Tina, Mr. Miranda, and Melissa.

“I’m home. Did Melissa finish her morning job?”

“Yeah. Really… What’s the point of suddenly calling out that there’s a shortage of workers on a day off… Well, I was paid that much. But… Rant.”

“Yes.”

“Why are you coming hand in hand with Tikia?”

“Ah, this is…”

While I was coming here from the inn where I was staying, I asked for another one and walked hand in hand with Lant.

But walking hand in hand makes me happy!

Even a harem man! I even thought at least once that I wanted to walk hand in hand with my first boyfriend!

But seeing Melissa’s sullen, glaring eyes made her body her shrink involuntarily.

Sin, sorry…

When Rant was about to say something, Melissa sighed.

“Haa… As expected. We ended up dating, right?”

“Huh? Ah, yeah…”

“I thought it was a bit suspicious yesterday? Then Tina said there must be a new member coming in today, but she said…”

And Tina smiled beside her and said.

“Well, it was much easier to prepare than going to my hometown and hearing the news that Melissa became a lover.”

“Ugh…”

Melissa turned her gaze away from Tina.

“Ah, Melissa, are you not criticizing me or anything like that?” Compared to Niña and Melissa, Tikia’s reaction is easy to understand just by looking at it, so… It’s just that she found it easy to accept. She honestly thought a month and a half was a long time.”

“Uh, yes… I know. But… Isn’t this going to increase by more than 30 people in a year?”

“Oh, then the number of inn rooms will be insufficient?”

“Mi-Mr. Miranda… Melissa… I don’t intend to increase it that much…”

“I know, Rant. But since Rant is cool, you don’t know how much it will grow? Well, anyway…”

Miranda looked at me and smiled softly.

“I’ll take good care of you from now on, Tikia.”

“Ah yes.”

Aren’t Rant’s lovers too tolerant or not broad-minded!?
