“Even for me, coming here has been fruitful. I don’t intend to do anything about Obrul or the Colosseum in particular. And,”
“……?”
“Despina can’t stay here either. So, it would be better for her to move to another place. A place where that Ariana can’t interfere.”
“っ!?”
In other words, that’s what it means.
Even though she’s an event boss, I’m not enough of a hardcore “EnHaza” fan to just stand by and watch her suffer.
“I-is that okay……?”
“Of course. Besides, events… cough cough. This isn’t the first time something like this has happened.”
Caz, another event boss, is my partner, and the magical doll Lyra is content to be my tool… no, she’s overjoyed, and there’s even Themis, the administrator of this world.
Despina is calm and has common sense, as befitting a former princess, so there’s no problem at all. In fact, I’m starting to think she’s the most normal one here.
“So, Despina, I look forward to working with you.”
“Y-yes…”
Despina looks down, gripping the outstretched right hand tightly.
Well, she looks about the same age as us, so it might not be bad to have her spend time as a student at the Royal Academy… wait.
“Fufu… ufufufufu…!”
Eh, um… why are Sandra’s eyes glowing red?
“Prince Harold, please be careful. The Young Lady’s jealousy is reaching critical levels.”
“Ehh…”
It seems my wife won’t even allow me to shake hands with a girl.
It’s tough having a jealous wife… but I don’t mind. In fact, I welcome it.
“W-well then, shall we go home?”
“Fufufufufu… I’ll have to lock Lord Hal away where no one can touch him as soon as we get back.”
“Let’s not do things like that.”
I desperately try to appease Sandra, who is grinning wickedly.
It’s nice to have heavy love, but it’s reaching a level where it’s causing actual harm.
“However, I believe the Young Lady’s concern is well-founded. Prince Harold is unconsciously setting flags all over the place.”
“What are you talking about? And what’s a flag, anyway?”
“That’s what I mean by unconscious.”
Monica, unusually a bit angry, presses closer.
There’s no man who understands Sandra’s feelings as well as I do, you know? I’m fully aware of her feelings.
“Obrul is… well, I don’t even need to ask, do I?”
“You bet! This is the country I made, just for me! I won’t give it up, even to the Emperor!”
As I thought, Obrul intends to remain the master of the Colosseum.
Well, I’ll officially request the Romania Empire to protect the Colosseum through the kingdom, so that he doesn’t get targeted by unnecessary people.
“Hal, wanna go home?”
“Yeah, let’s go home.”
I stroke Caz’s cheek as she sits on my shoulder and smile.
I’m curious about who the woman who kidnapped me and threw me here is, but I’ll think about that when I get back.
Also, I’m concerned about the man called Mostro Monos who contacted Lucio.
In any case, I’ll just protect them.
–These, my Precious Things.

“As expected of Lord Harold. I didn’t think you’d bring back a heroine even after being kidnapped.”
Yes, this is Harold.
As soon as I returned to the Dehauvalz Kingdom, Themis told me that.
“…What do you mean by heroine? You know she’s an event boss from ‘EnHaza,’ right?”
I approach Themis and whisper in her ear.
Sandra is already misunderstanding me. If she knew about that, there would definitely be a bloodbath in the kingdom.
“Ah, that’s right. Lord Harold hasn’t played ‘Engage Hazard Second’ yet. Actually, she was promoted to a heroine to be captured in ‘Second’.”
“Huh!?”
I was whispering, but I ended up raising my voice because Themis said that.
“Yes. As the princess of the now-defunct Nomades Kingdom, she hides her identity to escape from her sister Ariana, who is after her life, and becomes a gladiator in the Colosseum…”
“I know that. B-but, if she’s a heroine, there should be a capture route.”
“That’s right. Despina’s capture conditions are to defeat her in the Colosseum, and to gently accept her after learning about her circumstances and have the protagonist hide her. If you do this, she will be in a ‘Romance State’.”
Oh no. I’ve fulfilled all the capture conditions.
And if what she’s saying is true, Despina is in a ‘Romance State’ with me…
“Hmm? What’s wrong, Harold?”
“っ!? N-no, it’s nothing…”
I hurriedly avert my eyes from Despina, who is looking at me strangely.
A-as far as I can see, she seems normal, and I don’t think she’s in a ‘Romance State’. It must be Themis’s misunderstanding. That must be it.
“More importantly, this is my first time in this country. I want you to show me around. J-just the two of us.”
Scratch that. She’s definitely in a ‘Romance State’. What should I do?
“Fufu… ufufufufu… How interesting. Lord Hal is my husband, so that’s definitely not allowed.”
“Huh? What’s that? Harold is Royalty, so it’s not a problem if he has one or two wives. Or are you perhaps insecure?”
“っ!… Very well. I shall offer your corpse to your sister, who is after your life.”
“Are you perhaps going to fight me?”
Aaaaaah… what should I do? If this continues, there will be a bloodbath in the Royal Palace…
“I believe it is all Prince Harold’s fault.”
“Why!?”
“I suggest you put your hand on your chest and think about it.”
Even Monica has abandoned me…
“Master. If you order me, I will promptly eliminate these two.”
“Stop it, it’ll only make things more complicated!?”
The room in the Royal Palace becomes even more chaotic.
While four girls are fighting, I slowly step back.
“「「「「Ah!」」」」”
“Caz! Let’s escape!”
“Nyahaha… I can’t help it…”
I grab Caz and jump out of the room.
Damn it, how did this happen?
