Volume 7 Chapter 183
Seira’s Consultation and Rifa’s Plan
「El, Elmia!」
When I teleported to the Grand Temple, Seira noticed that I was holding Elmia and rushed towards us.
「It’s okay, she just fainted. Her magic was significantly drained, and she had dislocated both shoulders, plus she was quite fatigued, but I’ve healed her magic and her shoulders. She should wake up with some rest」
「T-thank you so much. Please take Elmia to the infirmary, you all」
「Yes, Holy Maiden」
Following Seira’s orders, several women in Holy Armor carried Elmia away.
They must also be Holy Knights, I thought.
Unlike Elmia, they wore armor that provided better protection for their whole bodies.
Elmia’s Holy Armor, which seemed like it could expose her in various places, was probably more to her taste……
「Haruto-sama, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for protecting the Holy City and helping Elmia and Isha. I’m able to be here now thanks to you」
「Yeah, I’m relieved we were able to protect everyone safely. But I’m sure you’re worried about her, right? If anyone got injured during the evacuation, we can heal them, so you can go to Elmia」
「But……」
「It’s fine here. Just stay by her side」
Seira was undoubtedly worried about Elmia. She bowed her head several times and then hurried after Elmia, who was being carried away.
With that, things settled down.
I originally came to negotiate with the Creator God about dungeon management, and I didn’t expect things to become this significant.
Nevertheless, we managed to defeat the daemon hidden in the Holy City and protect Seira, whom I had known in the past. It was a coincidence, but I felt that coming to the Holy City at this time was truly a blessing.

The Next Day
「Um, Rifa-san」
Rifa, who was walking in the street of the Holy City, was approached by a hooded woman whose face was concealed up to her eyes.
Rifa recognized the voice.
「Ho-Holy Maiden? Why are you alone in a place like this? ……Is there something you need from me?」
「Thank you for leading the Holy Knights yesterday. Do you have a moment?」
The Holy Maiden, Seira, had been searching for her without any guards.
She wondered if there was something important to discuss and braced herself for the conversation.
「Haruto-sama… um, is he interested in, well, a harem or something?」
「……Huh?」
Rifa accompanied Seira to a quiet café on a street just off the main road of the Holy City. There were no other customers.
As soon as they sat at a table in the café, Seira brought up the topic, leaving Rifa stunned.
「In fact, I have been admiring the Guardian Hero who saved the world a hundred years ago. That person was—-」
「……Haruto-sama, right?」
「Yes. I heard that the one who used to be the Guardian Hero was reborn as Haruto-sama. He is reincarnated, but…… um, you see, I still feel drawn to him」
「You mean, you like Haruto-sama?」
「……Yes」
「But because Haruto-sama is already married to Tina, you’re concerned about that—-.is that it?」
「That’s right. I’ve heard that you and Haruto-sama were classmates. So, from your time at the academy and other circumstances, do you know if he’s interested in such things?」
When Haruto and his family introduced themselves to Seira and Elmia before they arrived in the Holy City, except for Tina, no one mentioned their family names. Therefore, Seira didn’t know Rifa’s family name. She didn’t know that Rifa was Haruto’s wife.
「Are you asking if Haruto-sama might be interested in—dating multiple women or having a harem?」
「Yes, yes, that’s what I mean」
Rifa hesitated for a moment. If she told Seira the truth, she might confess to Haruto. From Rifa’s perspective, Seira was beautiful as well. Furthermore, her husband, Haruto, didn’t refuse when family members kept increasing.
However, it was apparent to Haruto that Tina was his top priority, and he spent every night with her. The remaining family members took turns sleeping with him on the left side.
Before arriving in the Holy City, there were six members in the rotation who took turns on the right side.
Rifa, Luna, Yoko, Mai, Mei, and Meldie.
A week in this world is six days, so they could sleep with Halt once a week—
But then, yesterday, the dragonewt Ryuuka, joined.
When Haruto came to fix the crystal that generated the Holy City’s protective barrier, which had been destroyed by the daemon, he decided that Ryuuka would join the family.
According to Haruto, when he teleported, he accidentally saw Ryuuka’s naked body, causing her to lose her powers as a dragon priestess. To help her regain her powers, she needed to be with her.
Ryuuka wasn’t displeased; in fact—-she seemed delighted.
Apart from Tina, the other members of the Elnor family eagerly anticipated 『Haruto’s Day』every week, where they would have their turn with him. Haruto wasn’t aware of it.
Now that Ryuuka had joined the Elnor family, 『Haruto’s Day』 might not come every week.
If Seira joined in, too……
Rifa was in a dilemma.
She liked Haruto and didn’t mind that many women were attracted to him. In fact, she felt a bit proud.
Yet, not being able to be with Haruto, the one she loved dearly, was quite sad.
(Well, if it comes to this, I’ll have to make a life-size doll of Haruto-sama to comfort myself…… Or, perhaps I should teach him that magic!)
Rifa made up her mind.
「Holy Maiden— I mean, Seira-san. I didn’t reveal my family name during our introductions. My name is Rifa Elnor」
「Huh, does that mean—」
「Yes, I’m also one of Haruto-sama’s wives」
「Is-is that so」
「By the way, when we came to the Holy City, including Tina-sama and I, seven women rode in the same carriage with you. You know, they’re all Haruto-sama’s family members」
「Huh!?」
「And yesterday, another member was added」
「Whaaat!? Could it be the dragonewt—」
「Yep, it’s the dragon priestess, the dragon priestess」
Seira was shocked, and Rifa had explained everything.
In one way or another, Seira was likely to join the Elnor family.
Many women would gather around Haruto.
In this Holy City, it wasn’t guaranteed that only Ryuuka and Seira would be the ones to add to the family.
Rifa couldn’t afford to be complacent.
Recently, Rifa had been incorporated into the rotation and had Haruto’s day only once a week.
Women around Haruto were increasing.
If left unattended, Haruto’s day might not come at all.
So, what to do—
「Um, Seira-san… …do you know about the Doppelganger magic?」
And this is how Rifa’s 『Let’s Duplicate Haruto Plan』 began.
