Chapter 19 – This Kind of Leeway is the Path to a Harem


Since Camille-san had finished working in the Southern City, we set sail for Lucca to meet up with Alessia-san and the others. We were surprised that the diplomatic delegation from the Kingdom of Latina was accompanying us on their magic ship. However, this turned out to have some unexpected benefits. Best of all, a divine event awaited us in Lucca: Alessia-san and the others would show their affection! I was so happy.


We secretly left the port town of Lucca and set sail on the Japanese-style ship.


Marina-san, Ines, Felicia, Rimu, and Fuu-chan were as usual, but I could tell that Alessia-san, Dorothea-san, Ilma-san, and Beni-chan were nervous.


Knowing they were looking forward to having fun on my ship made me feel like I had a bright future ahead of me.


I thought that, even though Alessia-san and the others were amazing, I wasn’t good enough for them. But with the Ship Summoning, maybe I could make it work if I tried hard enough. I understood the reality of the situation, but I was still struggling to find a way to make it work.


Now, however, I see the possibility that if I respond honestly without pushing too hard, things might work out.


My future is bright!


It’s a future filled with desire, but…


…No, no, I’m getting too excited and getting carried away.


When I get carried away, I end up making painful mistakes and ruining everything, so I need to calm down, control my desires, and maintain an honest facade.


This is a precious opportunity, and I don’t want to lose it over a stupid mistake.


“Right, which ship should I summon once we reach the open sea?”


Usually, I take requests or choose a ship based on my mood, but this time, I should take requests.


They’ve been waiting for this, so they must have an idea of what they want to do.


“Of course…”


“…Wait, Alessia. Rushing ahead like this will ruin the party.”


Ilma-san stops Alessia-san, who was about to answer my question. She has a serious expression. Why did the atmosphere suddenly become so serious?


“…Yes, I’m sorry. I got a little ahead of myself. Wataru, we need to talk. Please wait a moment.”


“Yes, understood.”


I was overwhelmed by the atmosphere and couldn’t say anything. I wish they wouldn’t be so serious in this small Japanese-style boat.


I could hear Alessia-san, Dorothea-san, and Ilma-san talking.


They seem serious, but to me, it sounds like they’re relaxing.


They’re discussing what they’re looking forward to most, what actions to take next, and which ship is best for doing so.


By the way, Marina-san is watching with a relaxed expression. Fuu-chan looks relaxed, and Beni-chan is jumping up and down on Dorothea-san’s head, trying to make his point.


I feel like there’s a mental gap between the Slime Group members because they’ve been apart for so long.


I’m sorry, Beni-chan.


…Quite some time has passed, yet Alessia-san and the others still haven’t settled their discussion. It seems like they all have a lot they want to do.


Well, we have time before heading out to the open sea, and there’s an easy solution, so let’s let them discuss it.


Until now, I’ve felt restless, like a pet dog waiting for a treat. It’s better for my mental health to discuss which ship to summon.


It’s funny that there’s such a simple solution, yet the others don’t seem to have noticed it, even though they’re skilled adventurers. Anxiety really narrows your thinking.


But something has been bothering me, so let me ask a question.


“Didn’t you discuss what to do while we were away?”


Alessia-san and the others are skilled adventurers who understand the importance of preparation. Therefore, it wouldn’t be surprising if they had a plan for when we returned. In fact, it would be strange if they didn’t.


“Wataru, when you’re starving, do you want to imagine food that you can’t possibly get? Well, even though we didn’t discuss it, I imagined it many times…”


…I see. It’s like water in the desert. It’s like trying to distract yourself from your favorite food when you’re on a diet.


Either way, I understand how they feel. I’ve experienced the torture of smelling curry when I was hungry. Honestly, I think that’s a crime.


I remember begging my mom to make curry when I really wanted it. She told me to buy the ingredients myself if I wanted it so badly, so I ran out to get them.


Thinking about my family makes me want to cry. Since there’s little hope of returning home, I have to keep my family and friends deep in my heart.


Well, even if I could go back, I’m not sure I would. Sorry, Mom. This world is inconvenient, but my surroundings are very nice. Luxury liners, beautiful women…


As long as I’m on this ship, I have a better life than I did on Earth. Oh, so this is how Alessia-san and the others felt while I was away. My advantage is surprisingly great.


We’ve reached an area where it’s safe to summon the ship, but the three of them are still deep in discussion. Ines, Felicia, and Marina-san look a little exasperated.


They must understand the simple solution, but they’re not saying anything. I guess they have good personalities.


It’s time to make a decision.


“Um, Alessia, Dorothea, and Ilma, I can summon each of the ships you want, though.”


Usually, I only summon one ship, but I summoned a second or third ship when Claretta-san asked me to play crane games or Carla-san asked me to get her something to eat. Alessia-san and the others definitely understand.


In fact, Alessia-san, Dorothea-san, and Beni-chan all have expressions that say, “Oh, that’s right!” So I’m sure of it. Well, I can’t see Beni-chan’s expression, though.


“Wataru, please summon the Stronghold!”


“Wataru, please summon the Chateau!”


“Wataru, I’d like the Chris, please.”


Requests came flying in immediately from Alessia-san, Dorothea-san, and Ilma-san. I already knew which ships they wanted because I had overheard them.


Alessia-san wanted the Stronghold for the vending machine menu, as well as for junk snacks and canned beer from the shop. She seemed torn between that and monjayaki, but the ferry won out this time.


She looks like an active yet noble young lady, but she has a down-to-earth sense of humor. Alessia-san and the others are basically from the commoner class, so it’s not surprising that they don’t seem out of place.


Dorothea-san loves the Chateau, which she won in the lottery. She thinks it’s a good choice because she can have fun with Beni-chan there. Beni-chan agrees, so Dorothea-san, who tends to follow others, didn’t change her mind.


Ilma-san wanted to relax elegantly on the luxurious Chris and devote herself to her research in a quiet salon or library.


I thought Ilma-san was the type of person who didn’t care about her environment while researching. However, she was passionate about how moving to a comfortable space had dramatically improved her research efficiency. I guess she’s had a change of heart.


“Understood.”


I summoned three ships as requested, trying to look cool. The cheers from the three of them sounded pleasant.


“You can board now. Everyone, enjoy yourselves.”


They thanked me and jumped onto the ship. Their actions showed how much they had been waiting for this. They didn’t forget to thank me, though, which showed that the members of Girasole were well-mannered.


“Master, aren’t you going with anyone?”


Ines asked me, looking slightly puzzled. I could understand her question. The old me would have definitely tried to go with someone. At the very least, I would have checked on the three of them.


“Yeah, it seems like everyone was looking forward to this, so I thought I’d let them enjoy themselves.”


In the past, I would have taken advantage of the fact that none of the three would have refused if I had asked to accompany them.


But now, I have the peace of mind to let Alessia-san and the others enjoy themselves.


“That’s nice. I’m sure Alessia and the others will appreciate it.”


Ines’s words made sense to me. So, this is the secret to being popular with women when you already have a girlfriend.


Having this mental leeway allows you to be considerate of women, which leads to a virtuous cycle of goodwill.


Then, after they’re satisfied, I’ll take my time deepening my relationship with them.


Surely, this leeway will lead me to a harem-like world.


“Wataru-san! The Saporabi-chans are so cute! No, they’ve always been cute, but now they’re even cuter!”


“Wataru, something’s different about Saporabi! What’s going on? Let me investigate!”


Just as I was enjoying my satisfaction, Dorothea-san and Ilma-san jumped onto the Japanese-style boat.


…Come to think of it, I forgot to tell them that I had freed Saporabi’s consciousness.


“Um, it’s a surprise. I freed Saporabi’s consciousness. Are you surprised?”


Cold stares pierced me. I knew it. They had definitely noticed that I had forgotten to tell them.


Dorothea-san was so surprised that she even used an honorific with me. I had made a mistake.


Now was the time to apologize for forgetting to tell them. The path to a harem is indeed difficult.


Meanwhile, Alessia-san…


“Fried chicken and fries with a can of beer are the best! You can get fried chicken and fries on other ships, too, but there’s something about the cheap taste of this vending machine that’s addictive!”


Since Saporabi wasn’t stationed on the Stronghold, she enjoyed junk food and beer as planned.
