A few days after the Thunder Tiger subjugation, I was?relaxing in my room.

It's been a long time since I did that kind of exercise, but it was relatively fun, so maybe I'll make some pocket money this way in my free time.

knock Knock.

As I was thinking about that, Cecil entered the room wearing a maid outfit.

"...Sirius-sama, letter."

"Yeah, thank you, Cecil. And how Shalltear?"

"...Training with the Knight Commander"

"Well then, let's go get it."

I got up from the bed, received the letter, and headed to the kitchen while reading it.

The content wasn't a big deal, so I decided it wasn't necessary to keep it and burned it on the spot, then made a quick sandwich and brought it to Shalltear.

Um, after the Thunder Tiger subjugation, pulling out Shalltear and Cecil difficult... but not really.

Their two party members said that it was okay to form a new party, and sent them off with a smile.

And when I told Gilmas that I want these two B-rank adventurers, he readily accepted.

He seemed to know the circumstances of the two, and said that it was rather good.

That's why Shalltear and Cecil are officially on my side.

For the time being, Cecil became my exclusive maid, and Shalltear became my royal knight as she wished.

She could have been an escort by my side all the time, but since it was a good deal, I asked the Commander of the Knights for guidance during her spare time.

He is also my mentor and I know his personality well.

If someone seemed promising, he would be happy to teach them, so I decided to leave it to him.

Well, of course, her main job is being my bodyguard.

“Shalltear, good job――”

"- Sirius-sama."

After bowing to the Knights Commander, she heard me calling her out , and Shalltear immediately flew over towards me.

It was so fast that I was surprised, and I almost misunderstood that this was a guidance from the Knights Commander... Suddenly, I found dirt on my face, so I wiped it off with a handkerchief.

".... Very sorry"

"Okay, you are working hard, didn't you? Good job."

".... Yes"

Shalltear was embarrassed, but smiled.

Even though she's older than me, I really think she's a cute person.

“.. Shalltear is cunning.”

"... Coincidence"

"...Sirius-sama,? me too ."

"Yes yes"

I even stroked Cecil's head at her cute request.

Both of them are older than me, but somehow I want to love them like this.

"Oh, Your Highness!? Look like you are having fun!? ”

As I was doing that, Diavo, the leader of the Knights of this country, loosened his grim face and called out to me.

"Hey, Diavo. Thank you for guiding Shalltear."

"No no! To marry such a prospective girl, even His Highness is an observant eye!"

Gahaha!? Shalltear looked a little embarrassed at Diavo who laughed.

....Well, does it look like I am surrounded by two beauties?

Both of them are my new bodyguards and caretakers on the surface, but I also end up looking like I am surrounded by concubines or lovers.

For the time being, I introduced the two to my fiancé, Philia, and it seemed like they could get along well.

Basically, that girl is a good girl, so it seems like she'll be fine as long as they don't have an excessive personality.

After having a light talk with the Knights Commander, the three of us picked the snack sandwiches I made for eating outside.

Originally, it was not good for the two of them to eat with me, but... for some reason, it made me feel less lonely and it's fun, so I invited them.

I felt like I was bothering them if there was something else they wanted to do, but both of them told me that they did be happy to eat with me, so I invited them without hesitation.

Well, as for me, if Philia and the others are fine, I wonder if I can welcome them as a concubine... I have this little idea.

..... you can look down on me, but I want you to understand that I'm a title timid.

I want to say something many like "Come to me!" But If I say it without knowing their feelings, there is a possibility that it will backfire, so refrain from that.

If I have to pick up a concubine anyway, it'd be nice to have a nice woman like these two.

There may be people who care about the age difference, but... I don't care about the age difference itself if it's a woman I like.

At the very least, I have a strong belief that no matter what the Goddess-sama or Philia look like, it doesn't matter as long as I love them.

I've only just gotten to know the two of them, but I think we've built a good relationship.

I am weird, but... no matter what the outfield is like, I've decided to live as I please in this world.

I don't want to go back to be the company slaves of those days anymore.

Live freely without disturbing my family.

So, they will let me choose my concubines freely.

....However, since their feelings are important, I won’t force them.

I'll just say this, but for now, it's much better to have two people to whom I have a high degree of affection for than to welcome another lady who I don't know as concubine.

My harem legend begins here!

..but that will be a little later.

"Do you like it?"

"...Yeah, it's delicious."

"Yes, it's delicious, Sirius-sama."

"Then that's good"

For the time being, it is nice that I will have fewer occasions where I eat alone.

That's how I truly feel.
