Volume 10 Chapter 306

Welcome to the Another World

That was dangerous.
It was close, but I made it somehow.
「Don’t kill her, she’s my wife」
I said to the girl who was about to decapitate Citri with a jet-black blade.
「Are you…… the stone statue person!」
Huh? Stone statue?
I don’t know what that means, but let’s just keep the conversation going.
「I’m Haruto. Haruto Elnor. And you are… …Akari, right!」
「Huh!? H-How did you know!」
Well, I do know.
Even though ten years have passed, there’s still a resemblance.
「You know someone named Haruto Saijo, right!」
「Y-Yes I do」
「That’s me」
「……What!」
「I’m Haruto Saijo. I was reincarnated into this world and became Haruto」
「……」
H-Huh?
Wait, that’s weird… …Akari seems frozen.
「Hey, Akari? Akari!」
C-Could it be I was wrong?
I thought for sure Akari was my little sister, Akari Saijo……
Am I mistaken?
No, that can’t be it.
Even though ten years have passed, I wouldn’t mistake Akari for anyone else.
C-Could it be…… I’ve been forgotten!?
「… …「」
「… …」
Man, that’s a shock.
I died when Akari was just five years old, and since our parents were busy with work, I’ve been taking care of Akari all this time.
Akari was really attached to me.
She always called me『Haru-nii』 —-
「A-are…… you Haru-nii!」
「 —-!! Y-Yeah! That’s right」
「Really!」
「Yeah. Really! Remember that towel you always liked? You always—-」
「Aahhh! Don’t say it!!」
Oops, got scolded a bit.
「Sorry. But you do remember that I’m Haruto, right!」
「Yeah… …but, on the other hand, Haru-niichan, you recognized me pretty easily」
「Of course. I’m your big brother, after all」
Well, even though Akari came to this world, her face didn’t change much.
I wonder if it’s not reincarnation?
While I was thinking about that—-
「Haru-niichan!!」
「 —-Ugh!!」
I was embraced by Akari with incredible force. The floor of the dungeon she stepped on was greatly gouged.
This power…… if it wasn’t me, a person would have been pulverised.
The speed of the tackle was such that I could have been obliterated.
I’m really glad my stats are fixed.
Reuniting with my sister after ten years, and then being hugged to death by her…… it’s not funny at all.
Thank you, Evil God!
For now, I’ve decided to teach my sister to hold back a bit.
　──＊＊＊──
「I see. So Akari was reincarnated too」
「Yeah. But it seems the goddess gave me a body almost identical to my original world’s」
After explaining the situation to Citri, I sent her back to the mansion first.
Then, I teleported with Akari to a place a little away from the magic academy, walking slowly towards my mansion while talking to her.
「I see… …So even in that world, this is how things are now. You’ve grown up, Akari」
「Hehe, well, ten years have passed, you know」
「……Ten years, huh」
「Um, Haru-nii!」
「Hm!」
「That woman from earlier… She’s really your wife!」
「Yeah, her name is Citri」
「Are you living together!」
「Yeah. You see, I’m the third son of a powerful noble in this world. So I had a mansion built on the grounds of the magic academy, and we live there. You know about the Ifrus Magic Academy, right!」
「I do! I went there before. That’s where I met Citri-san」
「Oh, you went to the academy too!」
Huh?
Did our academy allow outsiders in?
「Yeah. I exchanged bread with the woman who was with Citri-san at the time, and she was really beautiful too!」
「With Citri? What was she like? Like, for example, what colour was her hair!」
「It was a beautiful blue」
「Ah, Luna」
「Is she also someone you know!」
「Yeah. She’s the second person to become friends with me at the magic academy」
「Really!? Then, can I meet her again? I want to thank her for the bread and become friends! I don’t know…… but I felt a nostalgic feeling」
Since Luna came from the same world as us, maybe Akari feels the same way?
I definitely want them to get along.
「You can meet her. She’s also where we’re heading now」
「Huh!」
「Akari, you can use teleportation, right? Besides Glendale and Vestier, have you been to other countries!」
「Oh, right. I’ve been to the Elven Kingdom, Alheim. And the first place I arrived at was the country of Aplistos. I made a guild card there!」
「Ah, Aplistos」
After they started a war with Alheim, they stopped attacking neighbouring countries… I wonder if everything was okay?
「At Aplistos, I’ve been treated really well by a woman named Eliza. And also, somehow, Haru-niichan is worshipped there!」
「……Huh!」
「Haru-niichan stopped the war with Alheim, right? He’s truly a reincarnated person. So in Aplistos, Haru-niichan is revered as the national religion of Haltism!」
「Huh, seriously!」
「Seriously! There’s a huge statue of Haru-niichan right in the middle of the capital. Haru-niichan, didn’t you know!」
「I-I didn’t」
Seriously?
There’s a statue of me in Aplistos?
Well, there’s nothing I can do about what’s already there.
Anyway, let’s boast a little more.
「By the way, this is my second time coming to this world」
「Huh!? W-What do you mean!」
「Once I defeated the Demon Lord in this world. After that, I was killed by the Evil God as soon as I returned to my original world, and now I’m here」
「……Seriously!」
「Yeah」
「Sorry. I feel bad. But let me just say… …Hang in there, Haru-nii」
「Yeah. Thanks」
「So, when you saved the world that time, was there anything like this!」
「Like a statue!」
「Yeah!」
「There is」
「Really!!」
「In the city of Galeth in the Liggoren, my statues are being mass-produced. Also, my face from the original world is in quite a few books」
「……Wow, Haru-niichan, you’re really enjoying life in another world」
「For now, yeah. It was quite tough during the time as the Guardian Hero, life was at stake every day. And right after I teleported, I almost died……「
「Well, isn’t Citri-san the Demon Lord!!」
「Former Demon Lord. I removed her Demon Lord powers, so now she’s just a woman who can manipulate human souls a bit」
「You removed her Demon Lord powers…? Oh, I get it! Haru-niichan, are you like a god in this world!」
「Nope」
Haha.
Akari, what are you saying?
There’s no way I’m a god.
「So, how was Alheim? The World Tree must have been huge, right!」
「Yeah! It was amazing!!」
「I’m close friends with the incarnations of the World Tree, Silph. We should climb up together sometime」
I want Akari to experience the pseudo-elevator by Sylph.
「Eh…… Ah, um, sure. I’ll climb up」
「And the Elves. They have many handsome men and beautiful women, right!」
「Yeah, yeah! I was helped by a really beautiful Elf named Rifa」
「Oh, you met Rifa too」
「……Haru-niichan, could it be!」
「Yeah. I’m also close to Rifa. She’s also at the magic academy we’re going to」
「Rifa-san is also at the academy!」
「And you’ve met Tina too, right!」
「Ah, the beautiful woman with black hair! I met her at H&T Company and she bought items I made」
「She’s the teacher at the magic academy who teaches magic to me, Luna, and Rifa」
「So, did you hear about me from Tina-san!」
「Yeah! She said there’s a girl who brought in amazing items—that’s you, right!」
I showed Akari the brooch I got from Tina.
「Ah, this! Yeah, I made this. Watch, Haru-nii. Create Arms!」
Suddenly, in front of my eyes, Akari created a jet-black sword.
I feel an incredible power.
If my stats weren’t fixed—If I had the stats from my time as the Guardian Hero, I would have been cut in half when I tried to protect Citri.
「It got broken by Haru-niichan, but this should be quite strong」
Y-Yeah. That’s right.
No doubt.
「Akari, can I ask you something!」
「What is it!」
「That’s a pretty dangerous weapon. So don’t create it recklessly」
「Is that so!」
「It is」
「If Haru-niichan says so, I won’t do it recklessly!」
「Thanks, Akari」
I stroke her head because she listened to my advice obediently.
「Hehe」
Her happy response hasn’t changed from before, and it’s really cute.
Afterward, using the magical tool entrusted by Headmaster Luano, we registered Akari’s magical power and entered the grounds of the magic academy together.
「I guess you really have to register properly」
「Yeah, we’ll go apologise to the headmaster later for entering without permission」
「Sorry, Haru-niichan」
「It’s okay. But look, there it is. My mansion」
「Huh… …That’s your house!!」
「It’s huge, right!」
Even though recently it’s been getting a bit cramped with the growing family.
「It’s too big!! You and Citri-san live in this huge house together!!」
Yeah, I guess so.
Yeah, that’s right.
Um…… I guess it’s time to say it.
「Oh, um, Akari」
「What!」
「Your big bro doesn’t have one wife」
「……Huh!」
「This is another world, right? So, um… you know!」
「Huh, n-no way—」
「Besides Citri, there’s also Tina, Luna, and Rifa that Akari met」
「You have four wives!!」
「No, there are a total of fourteen」
「Eh!」
「By the way, besides the wives, there’s also a divine beast as a pet and my classmates in a separate household. So, nineteen people and one beast live in this mansion」
「This is too much of a harem!! How did this even happen!!」
「Well, um, you know, just… …things happened!」
「You’re just increasing your wives any chance you get!! ……Huh? But wait a minute. If you already have fourteen wives, adding one more shouldn’t really matter, right!」
Huh?
「Yes! I have a question for you, Haru-nii!」
「Yes, Akari. What is it!」
「Is there still room in the little sister-wife slot!」
