Volume 3 Chapter 63

Haruto’s sister, Charles.

We have returned to the Ifrus Magic Academy in Glendale, with the help of my transference magic of course.

The month-long break in class was over.

Looking on the month I spent in Alheime, a lot of things happened.

First, I made a contract with the Wind Spirit King Sylph.

I obtained a lot of leaves from the World Tree, an incredibly rare item.

I conquered the World Tree dungeon.

I found out that many of my classmates could fly.

I won the martial arts competition. Though I have to say that Sarion, who used to work for Tina’s family, was pretty strong. .

Tina told me about her past.

I won the war with Apristos.

I defeated the demon Amon.

I was given the Highlander, the national treasure of Alheim.

And I married Tina and Rifa.

Yeah. It’s been a pretty intense month.

By the way, the Highlander was too big to carry around, so I asked Mai and Mei’s father – who I call the shiny old man – to keep it in the spirit world for me.

The old man marked its location in the spirit world where the Highlander is kept as a transfer, so I can retrieve the legendary sword no matter where I was.

After returning to our own mansion, Tina headed to the academy to report back to the academy about our safe return and to tell about the events that transpired.
She said that she would keep the subject of myr contract with the Sylphs under wraps. Which makes me question, would they really believe us if we tell them that we had participated in the war and won by ourselves?

Yoko, Mai and May were also relaxing in their room while Rifa made them tea, when someone came to visit them at the mansion.

[Haruto, long time no see!]

It was my sister.

When I opened the front door, my sister, Charles, was standing there. As usual, she looked so beautiful that I couldn’t believe she was my own sister.

But her breasts were a bit of a disappointment, though.

[Where are you looking, brother? Is there something you need to say?]

Oops, she managed to read what I wanted to say with her eyes.

[No, it’s nothing. By the way, how’s your day been going?]

I tried to force the subject to change.

[I heard you got married.

[Oh, so you’ve heard already.]

Perhaps my mother who told her.

[I am sad, Haruto. I thought you were going to marry me.]

Charles hugged me as she said that. Still, compared to Tina, there was something missing.

[Hey, you’re thinking about something rude about me now, aren’t you?]

……….

Is Charles be able to read my thoughts?

[Sister, we’re family. You can’t marry me.

I rejected her.

[Love will get you through that stuff!]

Ew. Does she understand what she’s saying?

[Um, Harut-san. What’s going on?]

Rifa was worried about me not coming back, so she came to check on me.

[Haruto! Who is this beautiful elf?]

Charles looked at Rifa, and for some reason she was blushing.

[Let me introduce you. This is Rifa, the former second princess of Alheim, the kingdom of the elves, the former second princess there, who has only recently married me.]

[Nice to meet you. My name is Rifa.

[Cu.. Cute!]

Suddenly Charles started to hug Rifa.

Rifa was confused by the suddenness of the situation.

[You’re so cute. Miss, will you marry me? I will give you a lot of money if you agree.

Aren’t you changing your mind really fast?

Well whatever.

[Sister, Rifa is my wife, and she’s in a lot of pain, so please let go.]

[Mm, can I have this baby?]

[No!]

There’s no way I can give it to you.

I pulled Charles away from Rifa.

[Hey, how’s it going over here?]

[That’s my sister, Charles.]

[Oh! This is your sister-in-law? I am pleased to announce that I have married Harut-san. I look forward to working with you in the future.]

Rifa bows politely.

[… Ha! Now I realize, Rifa-chan is now my sister-in-law! I’m going to enjoy this!]

I’m sure you will.

[Well done, Haruto!]

What did she say?

─Just as I was thinking that, Charles hugged Rifa again.

[I never thought I’d have such a cute little sister!　I’m happy.]

Charles is pleased.

Rifa still looked a bit confused.

As for me, I’m a little glad that Charles liked her after realizing that she was going to be Rifa’s sister-in-law.

Because we are going to be a family, I want them to get along with each other from now on.

[While I’m sure you’re happy to know that I’m here. I’m going to have to treat you since you’ve come all this way..]

I pulled Charles, who hadn’t tried to leave Rifa, away from her by half-heartedly pulling her away from him and taking her to the parlor.

[You’re so cute, Rifa. So I have a little sister now, that is amazing.]

Charles was grinning the whole time, which looked a bit weird.

[Have some tea, sister-in-law.]

[Thank you, Rifa.]

Charles pulled Rifa’s hand away from bringing me tea and made her sit next to him. Wouldn’t Rifa normally be next to me?

[Have you decided on a family name, by the way?]

Charles, who had calmed down a bit, asked.

The nobles of this world could take the family name whoever inherited the house.

For me, Silveray was to be succeeded by the eldest brother.

The children of nobles who were not heirs could not take the family name when they married, so they would have to give themselves a family name. For this matter, everyone had all already consulted with each other and had decided on a family name.

[I’ve chosen Elnor. Now I’m Haruto-Elnor.]

[Elnor, huh. It has a nice ring to it. What does it mean?]

[In the language of the elves, it means Star of Fire, or flame elf. I chose it because Haruto is very good at fire magic.] Rifa explained.

[I see, Haruto uses fire, right? Oh, come to think of it, Rifa-chan’s hometown is Alheim, right?　I heard they were attacked by a country called Apristos, but ended okay!]

[Yes, Haruto-san drove the enemy away and the country is safe. All of us in Alheim are very grateful to you, Haruto-san.]

[Whoa Rifa, what are you talking about?]

[…What?]

See, Charles froze up.

Afterwards, Charles asked me to dig into the events of the last few days.

My sister Charles seems to have the ability to see through my thoughts, and when I hide something from her, she is quick to point it out to me.

In the end, I told her everything, including about Sylph, without hiding it.

I was surprised that Rifa didn’t know about the demon Amon.

[That’s Haruto for you.]

Charles was satisfied.

It wasn’t just my sister’s. I also wanted to say it to Tina and Rifa, but I didn’t feel like I could win an argument with Charles, so I decided to keep it quiet.
