I Was Not Popular With Girls in My Previous Life, but I Was Reincarnated Into a World Where Harems Are the Norm, and a Mentally Unstable Elf Beauty Follows Me Around - Chapter 21

I’ve Already Received My Thanks

While working as an adventurer, I lived in a large house with four girls. It felt just like becoming the protagonist of an isekai story. I never imagined it would really turn out this way. Light novels were telling the truth!

After that, my days of going on dates in rotation with the four girls continued for about half a year. And then…

“Alright, I’m off then.”

Sakura headed to her job at the marriage agency in her usual indecent outfit.

“I’m always sorry to trouble you.”

“What are you talking about? It is not just for my sake anymore. Besides, look, I have this, so I can keep going no matter what.”

Sakura said that and held out her left hand toward me. There was a ring on her ring finger.

I… married Sakura.

My first impression of her had not been good. After all, she had been gently preying on men left and right.

But she had the resolve to use restraint magic so she would never do it again.

On top of that, she worked diligently. Five years on the job. She made me realize that this other world had professions beyond adventuring.

And as we cohabited and kept going on dates, the image I had of succubi gradually changed in my mind.

Perhaps because it had started out negative, the shift to positive created a huge gap.

As for other reasons, she kept telling me she liked me.

It was true that once someone said they liked you, you started to become vaguely aware of them afterward. I could not help it if people called me easy, but in the end, it came down to how I felt.

“Sakura, you are doing great at work.”

The one who saw Sakura off next to me was the beast-ear beauty Misty.

“Sakura eats every last bite of the lunch I make for her every day!”

“Well, of course. After all, the food you make is delicious, Misty. Thank you for always doing the housework.”

“Ehehe! You are welcome! I do it because I like it! Besides, I have this, you know!”

Misty said that and held out her left hand toward me. There was a ring on her ring finger.

I… married Misty.

She was just someone I happened to save in the forest where I first arrived in this other world. In fact, I had even forgotten about it a little.

But despite being a young lady, Misty had come all the way to see me.

Who could have predicted that she would go from a little girl to nineteen years old in just a month?

As we cohabited and went on dates, spending more time together, her cheerfulness and straightforwardness began to shine brightly in my eyes. I was drawn to someone who had what I lacked. It seemed that was true.

And like Sakura, she had gone out of her way to come see me. I did not mind if people called me easy anymore.

“If you are going to praise me, then the usual one!”

When Misty said that to me, I gently and softly stroked her beast ears, which poked out from her silver hair.

“Nn… Ahfa…!”

Misty let out a sound while wearing a delighted expression. She seemed a bit childish at times like this.

“Kaito, you are making Misty feel good again! We have an important quest today!”

The human girl Meg said that, her lips pursed.

“But Misty likes it. Besides, I remember the quest properly. I always rely on your skills, Meg. Thank you.”

“You are welcome! I am an adventurer too, after all. And look, I have this.”

Meg said that and held out her left hand toward me. There was a ring on her ring finger.

I… married Meg.

The first time we met was during herb gathering, right? She had been deep in the forest all alone, yanking up herbs to relieve stress.

And as soon as she noticed me, she said, “Are you hitting on me!?” Of course, I thought she was a weird girl at the time.

She was on a ten-loss confession streak. I even wondered if she might be a bit dangerous.

But that was not the case at all. She was a bright, fun girl. She seemed similar to Misty, but they were different after all. If Misty was free-spirited, then Meg was the type who could be considerate of anyone.

I had been tormented by a power-harassing boss at a black company in Japan, so I liked people who could consider others’ feelings, regardless of gender.

Whether cohabiting or on dates, she always prioritized me and everyone else.

Even if we had met in Japan, I probably would have fallen for her.

“This is an important quest for rank-up, so let us do our best more than usual!”

“Yeah!”

Then Meg and I entered the meeting room.

“Kaito, we are leaving soon. Are you ready?”

“Yeah. I have maintained my equipment and stocked up on items.”

“I see. That is good then.”

Airi spoke in her usual tone.

“You always look out for me, Airi. That is why I will keep telling you: thank you, always, Airi.”

“I-It is…! Not particularly for your sake. And as for thanks, I have already received mine.”

Airi said that and held out her left hand toward me. There was a ring on her ring finger.

I… married Airi.

Back when I had just arrived in this other world, I put out a call for party members at the adventurer’s guild, but no one came, and I was feeling down. Airi was the first to talk to me.

A beautiful elf. At first, I thought she had just pitied me, but she always stuck with me.

She might seem aloof at a glance, but she was not cold-hearted. However, she showed no mercy toward malice. That meant she had her own firm convictions.

Whether cohabiting or on dates, she never wavered from that stance. But in fleeting moments, she let her guard down, made that odd effort to hide her smile, and was strict because she thought of me.

All of that shaped the elf beauty named Airi.

Charm was not just about the good parts. Even things that seemed negative at first could hide kindness underneath.

That was why I wanted to be with Airi.

Well, that was a long ramble, but what I was trying to say in the end was…

I married all of them.
