“Wayne? You arrived quickly? Did you go straight to the church as soon as you left? Thank you!”

Considering the time, it was the right time to head straight to the Vatican. Although I had set my words in line, I had no idea that they would try to resolve the matter right away.

But Wayne lowered his head and scratched the back of his head, as if he was embarrassed by my praise.

“No. Actually, I was planning to take it easy and go when the time comes, but the Vatican came to visit me in person.”

That meant that if she had come to see me even a little too late, both she and I could have been in trouble as we couldn’t agree with each other.

“The timing is amazing.”

“Right?”

“I should be thankful for your sexual desire.”

“Ma, why are you talking like that!?”

Seeing him blush and scream, I really enjoyed teasing him. Having a network where you can lightly joke around like this means that life becomes more enjoyable. Therefore, he should not have been singled out as a traitor to humanity.

“Anyway, what was the result…?”

I asked with a trembling voice. I couldn’t help but feel nervous because if he came to me like this calmly and said, ‘No, you’re screwed,’ you were really screwed.

“Surprisingly, you believe it. Rather, you even come up with a plausible interpretation yourself.”

Wayne told me what happened at the Vatican. As I listened, the Pope interpreted my loose and far-fetched claims very well.

It was a threat to prevent them from becoming enemies, but they listened too weakly and ended up developing a friendly relationship.

“And don’t be surprised. He even entrusted these things to me. Eugene asked me to pass it on to you.”

What Wayne took out and showed me was a ring with a very familiar pattern. A star drawn inside a circle. It was engraved in gold on a white ring, as if it were a symbol of the church.

“What ring? Is it a token of friendship?”

I held a ring in my hand that looked quite precious and looked around. Judging by the fact that no special magical power was felt, it was not magical like the necklace Arjen had given her.

“It’s a sign of adulthood.”

“What? Adult?”

I don’t know much about religion, but when the word referring to a great person came out, my expression automatically fell. Now that I see it, it’s not just any ring, it’s a fisherman’s ring.

“No… But I don’t really believe in Stella or anything?”

“But what can I do if the Pope thinks that way? Or should I come to you and make you realize that your thoughts are just turning the happiness circuit on?”

There is no need to dig up well-finished work. It’s true that I was a little nervous, but I received it with a grateful heart because receiving it didn’t mean I would lose anything or be bound by anything.

“So, if you wear this, people will look up to you and say something like that?”

“…I guess it’s not like they look up to me? In terms of nobility, even if you are a count, you are in a position where you cannot be treated carelessly.”

“The Count couldn’t be bothered with me in the first place.”

I thought of Count Globec Duneld, the lord of Eletrobe. I remember him being polite to me the entire time we made eye contact. Of course, that courtesy was not created solely because of me, but because of Arjen, who was standing behind me and had the murderous spirit of killing anyone who laid even a finger on me.

If you think about it differently, it was not a meaningless ring because it meant that you could be respected even if you were single.

“Here, even living people are honored as saints. The world I lived in was a title given only to dead people.”

“Wow, we’re the same too, right? You are just an exceptional case!”

It’s an exceptional case. In that case, it might actually be counterproductive for me to walk around wearing this. It would pull out all the aggro in the world, but I haven’t found anything like that yet.

“For now, you can just take it as meaning ‘Please take care of me’.”

I put the ring in my hand in my pocket without putting it on. Then Arjen, who had been looking at me anxiously just a moment ago, breathed a sigh of relief.

“Phew….”

“Huh? Why are you sighing all of a sudden?”

“No… Stop worrying about whether Eugene is wearing that ring.”

“Why? Is there something in that ring?”

Since signing the contract with Sirocco, there has been almost no misdetection of mana, but it seems that there was some kind of dangerous magic attached to the ring. Just as the Pope was about to say that it was truly the last days for a man called the Pope to do something like that to the symbol of their religion, Arjen let out something absurd.

“No. But wearing a ring given to you by someone else… means that you will live happily ever after!”

“What, what’s wrong?”

I know that it will last a hundred years, but it will last 10,000 years. Perhaps because it was a dragon, the unit of time seemed unique. Anyway, I was paying attention to that, but now that I think about it, I feel like Arjen’s eccentricity has gone too far these days.

“Kaela said something strange again.”

Just as when something strange happens in world history and you vote for England, you get a rough guess, if you pick Kaela when Arjen does something strange, you get a rough hit.

“Oh, no?”

“That’s roughly correct, but it doesn’t matter as long as it’s not just the ring finger. Same here too?”

I asked Wayne to confirm the facts and she nodded.

“Yes. When getting married, the bride and groom put rings on each other’s ring fingers.”

It was an earth-like ritual. Anyway, it seems that the thoughts of those with five fingers on each hand are all there.

“Hehehe… It’s marriage~”

Arjen looks ecstatic when he hears that he is getting married. It was an overt gesture of wanting to get married, but unfortunately, it was an impossible wish. Even if we skip over the fact that we are already in a common-law marriage, there must be guests for the wedding…

‘Yeah, there’s no estimate at all.’

First of all, all my acquaintances are on Earth, so there are 0 guests for the groom. And if there was a guest that Arjen could invite… it would probably be another dragon, but looking at Arjen’s words and actions, it might not be our wedding, but that dragon’s funeral. I was in a funny yet sad dreamland about a future. As soon as I was out, Arjen dragged me down to the real world.

“Oh… the hero suddenly appeared and the story went somewhere else!”

“Huh? What were you talking about?”

Arjen confidently shouted in response to Wayne’s question.

“Yes! A story about Eugene’s virility! Also, the threesome was very pleasant.”

“Ah… I see…”

Wait a minute, Wayne. Does it get weird when you blush like that there? And I remember that although it was definitely a story about improved stamina in the beginning, it was not the end.

“Rain, we were talking about a personality called Viola! What is this sudden energy and threesome?”

“Viola was also an extension of that story, so it’s no different.”

◦ at

“I… I’m fine.”

Wayne was smiling awkwardly and saying he was okay. Although that smile did not appeal at all.

“Oh, yes. You’re here at the right time, warrior. I already feel the need to do it again.”

There was only one way Arjen would do something with Wayne again. Yes, that threesome thing you were talking about just a moment ago.

“Doing it again, again?”

I asked back, unable to hide the joy in my voice. Oh my, I shouldn’t be doing this….

“Yes! This time, I will sing Rosé, not Kaela. I was upset that I didn’t put it in alone last time.”

“…I don’t think Rosé would mind at all.”

There is one fact that is easy to overlook, as she often cuddles in her arms even though she hates me, but Rosé clearly likes and dislikes me. It was like that last time when Arjen tried to replicate my stuff on his body. If it weren’t for her decisive opposition, there would have been considerable trauma.

Anyway, I wondered if Rosé would want to have a threesome. Seeing Luv’s dislike meant that threesomes were an area where likes and dislikes differed even among Arjen’s personalities, who usually had consistent tastes.

“No. When Kaela and I were making plans, he definitely seemed interested.”

“But it’s not certain. I don’t think it’s a good idea to force something unless you express your intention with your mouth.”

“Hmm… But I can’t imagine Rosé turning down a dick.”

Come to think of it, Arjen said he remembers when Rosé was active. Even in her own opinion, it seems undeniable that Rosé has the trait of being a ‘self-maniac’.

“Hey, it’s okay if you don’t like it! Rosé is weak anyway, so you can just force her.”

“That’s rape, no offense!”

Wait, no. In the end, the body itself is Arjen’s, so this is an ambiguous part. What you’re saying is that you’re going to force yourself to eat your own body, and I have no idea how to metaphorize this.

‘Is it masturbation if you have sex with an alter ego created using the alter ego technique? It’s a controversial topic…’

“Anyway, decision! Hero, you’re going to do it too, right?”

“Yes.”

Now Wayne nods his head without shame as if it were natural. I don’t know where the relationship started to go sour. The most ironic thing is that in the midst of all this, my lower body is holding its head upright.
