Book 8: Chapter 1: Conference of the Wives

Previous Chapter

“Alright, we will now hold the first conference of Halt-sama’s wives — in short, the [Conference of the Wives]!”

All the people gathered in this place clapped their hands after Tina’s announcement.

They were inside one of the rooms in Halt’s mansion at Ifrus Academy of Magic. Halt didn’t know the existence of this place. 

They returned with Halt to this mansion last night.

When they left this place, there were only eight wives, but now, upon returning, the total increased to 11.

Thus, the people currently in this room were —

Tina and Leaffa of the Elven Race

Luna, a human just like Halt

Youko, part of the Demon Race

Mai and Mei, who were Spirits

Merdie the Beastkin

Hakua the Dragon

Ryuka the Dragonoid

Seira, who was the former Saintess

Elmia, the former captain of the Holy Knights

— these were all the members gathered here.

By the way, the demon had deprived Seira of her Saintess power, but the Creator God restored her powers so that she would not be compared unfavorably to Halt’s other wives.

Because of that, Seira could use the powers of the Saintess despite no longer being one.

In return, Seira had to offer prayers to the Creator God everyday, but —

Seria had been doing those supplications to the Creator God for two hundred years already, and her faith in him was as strong as ever, thus, it was in no way a bother for her.

Also, Seira had already handed the position of Saintess to the girl named Ysha, but because the sovereign of the Holy City was still undecided, they wanted her to fill that position.

The Holy City had Viscount Yang, who was a brilliant politician; however, he was not good at public speaking, so they needed someone who could appear in public in his stead.

The Creator God solved that problem.

“Sage Halt will replace Ifel, and he will become the representative of the Holy City, tasked to protect the city from here on. All the other matters relating to the governance of the Holy City will be entrusted to Yan do Luudu.”

This oracle was announced to all the citizens living in the Holy City.

This, Halt had to go there to appear in public from time to time, but it also released Seira. Halt could teleport, so it wasn’t a big deal for him to go to the Holy City.

Viscount Yan also possessed the ability to govern the Holy City as long as he didn’t need to appear before the people.

Thus, Seira was able to come to Halt’s mansion without a hitch. Of course, her knight Elmia was also with her.

“We are facing a huge problem as of now.”

Tina continued the meeting.

“Do any of you know what that is? — Yes, Leaffa.”

Leaffa had raised her hand with gusto.

“Because the number of Halt’s wives increased, “Halt’s Day” has become harder to come by!”

Halt’s wives looked forward to the day they could sleep together with Halt, which was the so called “Halt’s day”.

“Indeed, that is right. I can sleep everyday with Halt-sama, so it’s fine with me, but —”

“Yeah, that’s so unfair!”

Youko raised her voice.

“Yes, I also thought about that recently, so I asked Halt-sama to “please include me in the rotation”, but — “I don’t wanna”, he said, refusing my proposal.”

Tina showed a troubled expression, but even so, she looked happy.

“U,urk…If that’s what Master wishes, then it can’t be helped.”

“Teacher Tina is so enviable.” (Mai and Mei)

“I can sleep beside Tina.”

Hakua was fine sleeping with anybody, so she wasn’t entered into the rotation.

“I also want to be with Halt. But, Professor Tina seems to be the number one in Halt’s heart, so I don’t have any problems if she monopolizes Halt’s left side.”

“I also agree with Luna, meow. But, it’s a bit lonely if I can’t sleep with Halt for more than a week, meow.”

“I just married Halt recently but…it seems that I really have to wait a week to sleep with him?“ “Ah! Then, is it also the same for me?”

Ryuka and Seira had just been married to Halt, but because they were entered into the rotation list, their first night with him would have to wait after a week.

Both of them seemed depressed after hearing about that.

“Seira! Seira, come sleep with me!”

Elmia hugged Seira — was it to console her, or was it because she only wanted to sleep with Seira?

In the first place the reason why she became Halt’s wife was because Elmia loved Seira, and she didn’t want to part with her.

She didn’t hold any feelings of love towards Halt, nor did she hated him, but she looked the oldest among Halt’s wives, because she was a 28 year old human.

Since Elmia was sixteen years old, she had been serving Seira as her knight, so she didn’t have any experience with men. She was a bit flustered because of that.

That’s why Elmia decided to request that she be included in the rotation. If she had the chance, she also wanted to bear Halt’s child. It would be pure bliss if she raised that child together with Seira. 

All of them, including Tina, wished to spend more time with halt.

But, there were too many wives.

Halt basically treated everyone the same, except for Tina.

He treasured all of them as his wives, with impartiality.

That’s why, if they were to leave out one of them, it would only make Halt sad.

In short, they couldn’t remove any of the wives.

The number of wives couldn’t be lessened, but they also wanted to increase the time they could monopolize Halt.

So, what to do —

“Let’s increase Halt-sama.”

Leaffa caught the attention of everyone when she muttered those words.

“Increase Master? How on earth will we do —”

“Right now, we have here the pinnacle of magical swordsmen, Tina-sama. We also have Merdie and I, who are both part of royalty, and we have access to the library that protects the national secret arts. Luna here can read any kind of book in this world. Youko possesses a vast amount of mana. The other ladies here also have different brilliant abilities, and are also of excellent caliber.”

Leaffa looked at each of them.

She exuded confidence.

“Since we have these members with us, I’m sure we can do this.”

“Wh-what can we do?” (Youko)

“We can produce the Bunshin Magic!”

“Bunshin Magic? The one Father used when he fought with Halt during the tournament, meow?”

“It is a bit different. The spell that he used involved high speed movement in order to create afterimages, and you can make it look more real by infusing it with a little bit of mana.”

“Such a magical spell doesn’t exist, though?” (Tina)

“I never heard of that, too.” (Hakua)

“We don’t know anything about that, too.” (Mai and Mei)

Tina, Hakua, Mai and Mei were the long-lived people among Halt’s wives, and they had gathered an abundant amount of knowledge regarding this world, but they negated the existence of such magic.

“If there’s none, then create it. If it’s us, I believe we can do it.”

Leaffa actually didn’t know whether they could do this, but there was a reason propelling her to create that Bunshin Magic no matter what.”

“Just imagine. If we use Bunshin Magic and increase Halt —”

“W-we can sleep with Master everyday!?”

“That’s not only that. Halt’s power is infinite, so it doesn’t have to be just a single Halt for each of us — we don’t have to limit the number of clones, right?”

“T-then —”

“That means we could have a number of Halts to sleep with us!?” (Mai and Mei)

“—!!??”

Everyone finally understood.

The image of themselves surrounded by several Halts floated to their minds.

Everyone smiled broadly.

“Let’s do this!” (Tina)

‘We’re going to accomplish this no matter what!” (Youko)

“I’m going to rummage through the National Library, meow!” (Merdie)

“Merdie, I’m going with you. I can translate whatever book it is.” (Luna)

“We’ll ask Father, maybe he knows something about this!” (Mai and Mei)

“I’m going to ask Uncle!” (Hakua)

“Elmia, let’s check the archive at the Holy City, maybe we can find a clue there!” (Seira)

“I-if Seira is going, then I’m coming with you.” (Elmia)

“I’ll go to the Dragon Deity’s Shrine to check.” (Ryuka)

Everyone was thinking of a way forward.

A way to the reverse harem filled with several Halts.

‘This is the best.’

“Everyone… Thank you so much.”

“Leaffa, good job coming up with this idea. We will definitely accomplish this” (Tina)

“Y-yes!!”

And so, Halt’s wives started to move towards their goal of having a reverse harem with several Halts.

–––––

T/N: What a huge problem lololol…Well, sadly, no matter how much of a gentleman Halt is, and even if he is fair (according to him) to his other wives, his heart only belongs to Tina XD. And… even if it’s a clone, it’s still a fake, isn’t it…Uwuwuw all these pitiful waifus… truly breaks my heart X{ Still, nice idea, a reverse harem full of Halts! XD I wonder how he would feel, if there comes a time that his waifus would prefer the fake him because that one was tailored to suit their taste XD
