"Zect... are you really okay with this?"
Here I am, Maria, lying in bed after finishing petting with Zect, Lida, and Mel.
"According to the royal family's Rule, it should be fine! Well, if there's no problem, then I guess it's okay."
"Well... I'm fine as long as it's okay with you..."
"Well, it can't be helped, right?"
In the end, I returned with Lida and Mel to the slightly messy relationship I had with Zect back in our adventurer party days.
Well, we're not married anymore, so it shouldn't be an issue.
Basically, it's just like when we were in the Hero (Yuusha) party [T/N: "Yuusha" is Japanese for Hero].
As long as there's no pregnancy, there's no real problem...
Even back then, if any of the four classes got pregnant, it would've been a problem, so we never crossed that final line.
If we just do it like back then, everything should be fine.
"Hey, Zect, I want to ask you something."
"What's wrong!? Maria, you look so scared... did I do something?"
"Princess Marin is the principal wife, and she's already had her first night... so she's done what's needed, right?"
"Yeah..."
He scratches his nose, face red... it makes me annoyed in a weird way.
"As for Luna-chan... well, we can't do that right now, can we?"
Zect seems to think of Luna-chan more like a child than a wife, so he doesn't really see her that way. Even if she's old enough, I don't think he can easily.
Putting that aside, right now, we're not in that kind of relationship anyway.
That's why we've been kept waiting...
"Yeah."
"Then why are the three of us together? Isn't that strange?"
"What do you mean by strange?"
"Sure, Princess Marin is the principal wife... Luna-chan is the Head Concubine [T/N: "Head Concubine" is a court title]. And we are concubines... I get that."
"So nothing should be strange..."
"No, it's the three of us being together that's strange! Why are all three of us together? Sure, the Rule says we don't cross the last line, but the couples should have normal time together, right? That would mean one person per week... Lida, Mel, what do you think?"
"Yeah! I also thought it was unfair!"
"I thought so too."
"Well..."
The harem is supposed to be evenly balanced... that's the basic idea.
The three of us move toward Zect naked...
Lida and Mel might be half-joking, but I'm serious.
Ceres manages the mothers well and treats everyone equally.
I want the same treatment.
"No, we used to do well with three together, right? Isn't three okay?"
"Zect, are you stupid? Back then, we did it that way because we were in a party and wanted to save money by reducing the number of rooms. And also... you did it to show off the harem to Ceres, right?"
"Yeah, yeah... there were even times you made my chest visible to Ceres."
"Even though Ceres could see it, smuta [T/N: "smuta" is slang for sexual exposure] doesn't happen now, right?"
"Umm..."
"Listen, even if we are concubines, we're wives now! Each of us has rights!"
"What rights?"
"Normally, each person has one day's right. So if we choose one per day or all three together, then three of us together should get three days a week, otherwise it's unfair."
"Yeah, exactly! If we include Princess Marin too, four days, maybe five with all of us playing?"
"I think so too! If it's just weekly with three of us, it feels lazy..."
"Yeah, Zect's womanizing nature favors love over friendship, that's Zect for you."
"That's harsh... but true! So, three people, three times a week. That works, right? We just need to try like old times!"
"Not one day per person, but three days together..."
"Well, that's so Zect."
"Well, you can't call it Zect any other way, I guess."
"Man... that's harsh."
But fine.
Until Luna-chan grows up...
"We can still keep going... right?"
This is the only way we can continue this kind of relationship... isn't it?
