After I explained it clearly to Ms. Bree, who had managed to calm her down, she accepted my request.

    “So, this means it will be of great help to Miss Lily, right? Okay, the girl will try her best!”

    He was confident. The fox’s tail also waved confidently from side to side.

    Twa, who is still the owner of the treasure, opened his mouth.

    “Please do me a favor. If successful, we will provide you with a considerable amount of compensation.”

    “… W, research funds… !”

    Bree’s eyes lit up and she bowed.

    “Of course… ! Cow, the girl will do her best to find the car… !”

    “… .”

    Twa silently looked at Mur.

    Mur nodded.

    “Even though he looks like this, his skills are clear. Are you a magic tower lord?”

    “What is the Magic Tower?”

    “Uh, wasn’t it like that 700 years ago…? ? By the way, if you were to give him a reward, there would be something more valuable than gold, right?”

    “No, I like gold! Those rare metals are difficult to trade in the market!”

    “That’s not what I meant… I think it would be quicker to see it in person. Can you guide me again?”

    “Please follow me.”

    Dashitwa took the lead and went down.

    Since there were 6 people, we were naturally divided into two groups.

    At the front is Twaa Aisha. Surprisingly, there was a feeling that Aisha cared for Twa.

    In the middle, Mur and Bree are passionate about magic stories.

    And the last one is me and Luna.

    “So Lily, do you really not know that that fox had you in his heart?”

    “… .”

    Suddenly, I plugged it in straight.

    “Actually, I noticed it.”

    “Then did you do that on purpose earlier?”

    “I guess it was intentional… .”

    “Ha,” he crossed his arms and lifted his chest.

    This is good because it shakes less when going down stairs or slopes.

    “I’m still a little confused, I guess.”

    I definitely accepted the fact that I had created a harem, but I still couldn’t completely erase the feeling of slight resentment.

    It has definitely become lighter.

    Even so, for example.

    —Brie, you like me too, right? Don’t be stuffy and come into my harem, you cute vixen ☆

    … It was impossible to do it.

    “… … … Hmmmm.”

    Luna said that after hearing the entire explanation.

    “What’s wrong?”

    “Then what should we do with Twa?”

    “… That is.”

    “You probably know that he also has feelings for you.”

    “… There’s no way you wouldn’t know.”

    “Did he also intend to overlap only physically without establishing a clear relationship with his heart?”

    “That’s not it! But… .”

    “It’s difficult, no, it’s difficult.”

    “… I’m sorry.”

    “There is nothing to apologize for. Just because it’s difficult isn’t wrong.”

    Luna put her hand on my head.

    “In the first place, is there anyone who immediately says that they should not feel this way in the future?”

    Luna’s hand gently stroking the area around the top of my head felt good.

    “But don’t forget. If you avoid it because it’s difficult, it can hurt not only you but the other person as well.”

    “… … When Luna says something wise, I feel embarrassed.”

    “What kind of image is that opening inside you? .”

    However, Luna’s words exactly set off an alarm bell inside me.

    I remembered feeling frustrated while seeing characters dragging on awkward relationships in original creations of the world.

    In reality, it won’t just end with you feeling frustrated alone.

    “I haven’t committed anything yet, right?”

    I hurt people because I avoid them.

    “Not yet. But… I don’t have to say more than this, right?”

    Luna stroked my head again. As if trying to convey courage.

    “Yes.”

    I kissed Luna with gratitude. Since you have eyes to see, just be light on your cheeks.

    “Thank you.”

    “Haha, okay, that’s it.”

    Mur, who was walking in front, laughed.

    I guess he was slightly listening to this conversation.

    “? Why are you doing this all of a sudden? What’s on the girl’s face?”

    “It’s nothing. That’s right, do you see that egg? Twa stayed in suspended animation for 700 years.”

    “Analysis of magic right now—”

    “Do it later, later. Because we will arrive at the treasure house soon.”

    “Ugh… okay… … Whoa, whoa… .”

    It was like seeing Mr. Bree’s scholarly face for the first time.

    “… Is this all gold?”

    “I understand that you are losing your mind, but let’s work?”

    “Ugh, aww… .”

    When Mur patted her back as if to bring her back to her senses, Bree took a deep breath.

    “What did you lose?”

    “It’s a ring about this size. This is something that would have been here originally.”

    “I tried basic exploration magic.”

    “There’s no way you’ve only tried the basics.”

    “Be humble in front of experts.”

    “You speak well… Where, intro, par 8+2… .”

    Leaving the two wizards to work, the remaining four leaned against the edge of the treasure chest.

    ‘Brie was yellow.’

    It was a story about the color of mana. It was the same pretty color as the tail and hair.

    Pretty, Ira.

    ‘Brie has become much prettier.’

    It was clear that the change was the product of considerable effort.

    The heart that became the driving force was… It must be a feeling toward me.

    ‘It’s just as Luna said.’

    I felt like I had to face him directly and answer him.

    Even Bree, who hesitated and thought about me alone.

    Twado was happy to hear that he could come with me when we overlapped last night.

    Just as the other person is serious with me, I should also be serious with the other person.

    Even if it means seriously asking you to join my harem.

    ‘… ‘Ugh.’

    I have the will and determination, but I still feel like my heart is congested.

    “Umm… .”

    Yes, but is there a way to do it that isn’t difficult for me?

    ‘There’s no way something like that exists… oh!’

    A method occurred to me.

    I came up with a good idea and before the excitement cooled down, I walked in front of Twa.

    “Twaya.”

    “Yes?”

    Twa, who was lost in thought, focused his eyes on me.

    “What’s going on?”

    “Don’t you have something to say to me?”

    “… Yes?”

    The word dumbfounded seems to have been an expression born to describe Twa’s expression right now.

    To the point where such nonsense was ringing in my head, Towa was saying it with her facial expressions. What are you talking about all of a sudden? do.

    “I have something to say to Lily?”

    “Don’t act like a fool.”

    I lowered my voice so as not to disturb the two who were diligently investigating.

    And I pressed my body close to Twa so that I could hear clearly.

    “da, it’s reaching—”

    “That’s not important right now.”

    I said quietly and looked up at Twa right in front of me.

    I couldn’t really get in front of her because my heart was in between, but I did my best.

    it’s a shame. Even if I hadn’t gotten shorter as I became a woman, I think my eye height would have been similar.

    I’m not saying that being short is a bad thing.

    When I look up and think that this person will protect me, my heart tingles, and it feels secretly good.

    “Nu, pressed—”

    “What you have to say to me… No, is there something you want to say to me?”

    “… What on earth do you want to hear from me?”

    “It’s not what I want to hear, but there’s something you want to say?”

    “… Well, that… None.”

    “Lies.”

    “There really isn’t one!”

    “Let’s make eye contact and talk?”

    To stop me from looking away, I grabbed Twa’s cheek and turned her towards me.

    The soft texture felt good.

    “… Then I will ask you the other way around.”

    A feeling similar to defiance was clear in the light blue eyes that looked straight at me without avoiding them.

    “Can you tell me what I want to say to Lily?”

    “No, I can’t do that right now so I’m doing this.”

    “Why are you suddenly doing this to me… !?”

    “Ha… It’s not as easy as I thought.”

    “!?”

    When I just thought of it, I thought it was a truly genius idea, but wasn’t it?

    “Okay, then let’s do it like this.”

    “Like this and like that… .”

    “I will tell you what you have to say from now on.”

    “???”

    “If what you want to say is correct, follow along. If not, then not.”

    “?????”

    “Then let’s begin. ‘I am Lily’ ”

    “… Me, I’m Lily.”

    Now that I think about it, this is the first time I’ve said “unni” after my own name.

    To begin with, I didn’t feel any discomfort when Twa called me unnie, but now, for the first time, shouldn’t I feel uncomfortable? I thought about it.

    A lot of the sense I had when I was a man has disappeared.

    Well, anyway.

    “’I love you’.”

    “!?!?”

    Twa’s expression showed a mixture of various emotions.

    Absurdity, embarrassment, suspicion that he was making fun of me, and embarrassment as to whether this person was serious.

    But the best thing about this method is that even then, Twa has to follow me.

    Because if you don’t follow me, it will mean that you don’t love me.

    In other words, Twa, who is in love with me, has no choice but to say that she loves me here.

    A dilemma.

    Checkmate.

    As expected, it’s a genius idea… what.

    But is this any different from me telling you to join the harem first?
