Time goes back a bit, to last night.

Arcadia and the others who remained in the dwarven village were experiencing a certain change.

What is it?　Why are you all glowing?

Yes, just as Nazary had said, the three saints' lower abdomen, or in other words, the phoenix seals, suddenly began to glow faintly.

This is ......."

Naturally, Arcadia and the others were stunned, not knowing why.

But then, "I see ...... that. It seems that Iguza and the others met Ignifel-sama safely, doesn't it?

Yes, it seems so. And it seems that he has given you more power.

I did not expect that we, who were not there, would also benefit from it.

The "mmm ......"

The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you're getting into.

The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your money is to be prepared to pay for it.

What's the matter with you, you're getting so excited all by yourselves? Why don't you explain it to me so that I can understand it?

I'm sorry. It seems that Iguza has been given new powers by the fire goddess. The power is flowing through the Phoenix Seal that is engraved on our bodies.

How is that possible?　How is that possible?

Magmel nodded to Nazary's astonishment and continued, "Yes, it seems so.

Magmael nodded and continued, "Yes, that seems to be the case.

That's wonderful. I don't know what the logic is behind this, but I understand that you are deeply connected to the boy.

"Ha, there he is!　After all, we are his "wives"!

Ophir smiled toothily, and Nazary said enviously, "Yes!

I wish I had a son-in-law who could say that with such confidence.

I wish I had a son-in-law who could say that with such confidence.　I would love to have a son-in-law who can say that with such confidence.　No, but the number of concubines has increased considerably. If there are more concubines, I will have less time to take care of my regular wife. ......

That's right. ...... I'm not sure if I can handle any further increase in the number of concubines, even for me, my regular wife. ......

I don't have a choice. I am your wife, so please forgive me."

After a beat.

""No, my wife is me, right?""

"......"

The saints all together claiming to be the rightful wives, Nazariy was looking comatose, thinking that it would be too much trouble to join this circle alone.

◇ ◇

Thank you for your hospitality then."

Kaya-san looked sad as we (or rather, I) bowed in unison.

Um, when can I see you next time ......?"

I have to deliver this hihirokane to the village and go see the Goddess of Thunder, so if we can meet, it would be after that. ......

I will see you after that. ...... I understand. 　Kaya will always be waiting for you, Iguza-sama.

"Of course, of course!　I will definitely come to see you!

The actual "I'll definitely come to see you!" is a very important part of the "I'll definitely come to see you!

And so we left Magritte.

I was so sad to see her, but she smiled at me and said, "Yes, sir.

What?"

I was stunned for a moment when Zana suddenly said something like that.

I was stunned for a moment.

I think so too," she said. I think so, too, or I will probably be killed.

What?

What do you mean?　I was puzzled.

She is a quiet girl like that, but she is very possessive.

No, but that doesn't mean you have to kill them!

I'm immortal.

I'm immortal, but I'm not. I'm sorry. But I'm sure Kaya is a very lonely person. I don't want her to be sad.

I agree. I know you can feel the warmth from the phoenix seal, but it's not the same as being able to see her in person.

"...... I agree. I understand. Ignifel has made it possible for me to fly faster than I can now, and I'm going to go see Kaya when I can find the time.

Yes, I think that would be a good idea. Yes, I think that's a good idea, although you'll have to give us as much attention as you do.

"Yeah, no special treatment for Kaya."

"Oh, oh, okay. Well, you know what? I'll do my best to take care of all of you together. After all, I'm ridiculously strong.

I nodded my head and they both looked very happy and their faces broke into tears.
