We succeeded in defeating the Behemoth after a fierce battle.
The number of “Return Rights” we have is thirteen within the party.
By the way, the breakdown is three for me, two each for Senyuu, Shinpo, and Lumina, one each for Sumiko, Shion, Serina, and Genjuu, and zero for Junma and Roa.
Incidentally, Shion’s share was transferred by me.
Lumina’s second one is a bonus for her participating in the party.
When given, it seems that the number of “Return Rights” Lumina has increases.
I’ll have to transfer them to my comrades later.
From now on, there will be a surplus, but what should I do? It’s a luxurious problem.
When we returned from the white space, we first tried to meet up with our comrades, but—
The group flying in the sky had just landed when Momo on the Hirow said, “Reika-chan wants to have a celebration party!”
I don’t think the main body would be in danger, so it must be a clone.
She’s a beautiful girl with black hair in a two-sided updo and a pink inner color.
She seems like the type who would suit a minefield of fashion.
“Hmm. I agree that we should celebrate this victory.” Kengi nods with a satisfied expression.
“Well, I’m not good with loudness, so I’ll just stay quietly in a corner…”
She responds in a small voice that sounds ominous.
“Don’t say that! You’re a contributor too.”
Kengi gently pats the ominous back.
「Hii… Don’t think that everyone can fit the mood of the sports club…」
Yinshen seemed troubled, but she didn’t seem to be outright refusing.
Perhaps, as valuable combatants in the Clear Phoenix party, the two of them had been interacting a lot. 「After-party! That sounds good!!」
The first one in our party to react was Shouko.
Upon hearing this, I asked Momo.
“After-party, you mean for our party and the Clear Phoenix party?” “Yeah… Is that a problem?”
Momo placed her lightly clenched fists under her chin and looked up at me with moist eyes.
It was a pose that only girls were allowed to pull off.
Even knowing it was an act, her power to shake me was impressive.
“You don’t have to do that. Yūko, calm down.”
“Yūko, stop it! Waaa, Chiyu-chan’s being mean!”
Momo wrapped her arms around my arm and pretended to cry.
She even put her open hands to her eyes.
Chiyu stared at me with emotionless eyes.
Chiyu was someone who could accept a harem, but did she have a problem with this kind of act?
“Ah… Momo, can we decide on the after-party when we meet up with the others?”
Even when I tried to gently pull away, Momo didn’t budge.
“Okay. I’ll wait here then.”
Chiyu is staring at me without blinking, Shouko is puffing out her cheeks, Shinpo has wrinkles around her eyes, the teacher is giving me a disapproving look as if to say, “I knew it, the young ones,” Serina is asking, “If we seal the main body in a barrier, can the clone come out?” and Genju, now back to his human form, is looking down sadly.
Jealousy can arise even among friends, but Momo is on a different team.
Only Kengoku is nodding in approval, but Yumihara is muttering to herself under her breath, surrounded by an ominous atmosphere.
This isn’t good, and I tried to pull away even harder than before. “Kyaa! What’s going on!?”
Mikuron has bitten onto Momo’s collar and is lifting her up.
“Ch-cho! Is Shouko-chan giving the orders!? I’m against violence!”
“No, Mikuron loves Tsukasa so much that I think she’s jealous.”
Momo’s uniform is lifted up, revealing her white belly and tiny navel as she protests loudly.
“Ugh! I get it, put me down already!”
Mikuron shakes her head and lets go. “Pya!”
Momo lets out a strange sound and falls to her butt.
It’s not like she was hurt on the sandy beach, but she must have been quite surprised.
「Oh, I hate this desert island! I want to go back to my normal life! I want to feel loved by the world and get lots of likes on SNS!」 「You’re being yourself, Yūko.」
「If you’re hurt, show me and I’ll heal it, Yūko.」
「I hate you, Seirin and Senyuu!」 Momoka turned away with a huff.
Momoka, who was being pampered in Japan, seemed to be the one being teased here.
「I’m not defending Momoka, but if she doesn’t like it, shouldn’t we change how we call her?」
I felt a bit sorry for her and couldn’t help but speak up.
「Sōsuke-kun, you’re awesome!」
Momoka immediately bounced back and ran over to us, but her approach was blocked by Miku. 「Sō-kun, you’re sweet.」
「Yeah. But if you hate it, you should say so. Teasing her was childish, I’m sorry, Momoka, I hate you.」 Seirin said with a smile.
「Don’t apologize while hurting me!」
Momoka seemed to be fully enjoying herself, so this might be their way of getting along.
Just as we were talking, Shion, Roa, and Junna appeared on the boat.
「I’d love to help with the celebration party if I can.」
「If it’s a party to honor everyone, I’d be happy to lend a hand.」
「I’m all for it! Wait, can I even join if I didn’t do anything?」
It seemed that all three of them were feeling bad about not having done much during the event, but I figured that everyone should do what they’re best at.
Shion’s cooking and Roa’s hard work were obvious, but Rumi’s sunny disposition was also a big help, and she was very popular with the girls.
Anyway, there was no one who opposed it, so we decided everyone would participate.
「I’d like to invite Tenporin and… Hida if possible, but it might be difficult.」
「Tenporin-kun is bad with girls, isn’t he? And Hida-kun gave us the last plane, right?」
「Yeah, but it’s pretty far from here.」
「Should we ask Mashiro to pick them up?」 The servant offered, but…
「Hmm, maybe it’s better not to? We’ve had a lot of boys lose their heads before.」
I see, the Seikou Party had a history of being troubled by boys who lost their composure.
「Now that you mention it, is it okay with me?」
「Kousuke-kun has helped us in many ways. Besides, Ryouka-chan convinced everyone, so it’s fine.」
Jouka is trying to recruit me into his party.
As part of his preparation, he seems to have been trying to create a favorable environment for me by convincing everyone to accept me.
In fact, his actual material support and the sight of lively Familiars made his arguments very convincing.
「Hmm. In that case, maybe we can just come by ourselves today.」
Incidentally, the search for the other boys was stopped once we figured out that the monsters were only targeting those with the ‘right of return’.
We haven’t confirmed it, but I’m sure they’re safe.
「That’s good. Then will you all come to Momo’s base?」
Our team, with three Illusory Beasts and the Black Dragon Palace, has better mobility.
It’s easier for us to come to them, and there’s no reason to refuse.
「Sou-kun, if we’re going, I want some beef.」 I nod at Senyuu’s suggestion.
「Yeah, let’s hunt on the way there. Though I feel like I’ll be relying on Mashiro.」
「Mashiro said, ‘Leave it to me!’」
「Did Mashiro really talk like that?」
I chuckled, and Shouko laughed heartily. It must have been a joke.
「Ah, before that, let me transfer my ‘Return Rights.’」
「About that, I’d like to transfer both of your items, sir. I don’t plan on returning before the students, and one of them is a bonus anyway.」
「Luminas, you don’t need to.」
「Yeah, I and Senyuu have two each, too.」
Senyuu and Shinpo said that, but the teacher didn’t give in.
「Both of you… I have such excellent students, I’m lucky. But I’d like to keep this for myself.」
As Luminas said with tears in her eyes, Senyuu and Shinpo gave in.
While I was looking for an opening to speak, the conversation had already come to a conclusion.
And just as Lumina-sensei was about to transfer the ‘Return Rights’ to Roa and Junme, she tilted her head. “Oh…?”
“Um, sensei. You can only transfer the ‘Return Rights’ if you have multiple ones, so I think you can only transfer one.”
“Oh, so that’s why it didn’t work when you tried to transfer them to both of them at the same time…”
Sensei seemed to be feeling pretty down.
“Well then, how about this? I’ll transfer one of my ‘Return Rights’ to you, and you can transfer them to both of them as planned.”
“But that means you’ll have to bear the burden of one.”
“Yeah, so you can give it back to me next time.”
If I had one ‘Return Right’, Sensei could transfer the rights to the students.
Since there would be opportunities to obtain bonus rights in the future if Sensei was around, she could return the extra rights to me then.
Sensei’s eyes widened at my words, but she soon smiled.
“Thank you, Koji-kun. I’ll take you up on that.”
So I transferred one of my ‘Return Rights’ to Sensei, leaving me with two.
And the teacher transferred two of the ‘Return Rights’ to the students, leaving herself with one.
The two who received the transfer froze for a moment. They had been called to the white space. And then they snapped out of it.
They had reserved the exercise and regained consciousness.
Now, all of them had received the ‘Return Rights’.
Among them, Senyuu, Shinpo, and I would each have two.
“Kouno-kun, I’ll definitely return it to you, okay?”
The teacher said with a gentle face, as if praising a student for excellent grades.
“I’m sure you’ll be able to get it back during the next event.” “Yes!” So, the matter was settled.
Now, what should be done with the remaining ‘Return Right’?
If one was left over and held, it would be converted into points at the time of return, so it wouldn’t be wasted.
That’s why I wonder if it’s okay for me to have an extra one.
Senyuu came close to my ear.
“You can give it to the girl you like, Sou-kun.”
My childhood friend said that again.
I shouldn’t say this since I’m doing it with eight women excluding Genju, but what does she think of people?
…No, isn’t it more natural for Senyuu to think that it’ll increase even more since it’s already increased this much? “Is it okay with you, Senyuu?”
I asked her out of curiosity. I had asked her before, but I wanted to confirm it again.
“Hmm. I’m proud of you becoming popular, Sou-kun. Besides, expanding the harem isn’t bad considering this situation.” “What do you mean?” “You should know.”
It seems that even Senyuu has the same idea as me.
”…Ah, let’s talk about it later.”
“Hmm. For now, let’s celebrate.”
“You don’t really mean to celebrate yourselves, do you?”
And since Senyuu said it with a blank expression, it felt oddly funny.
“Come on! Let’s go, Sou-kun!”
Momo latches onto my arm.
I look at where Micron was guarding, and see that one person was blocked by Micron. She’s even making more clones.
I feel like being able to create clones from clones is pretty much cheating. I wonder how many she can make at most.
I’m curious, but let’s move for now.
Micron, me, Senyuu, Shion, and Shinpo.
Mariko, Shouko, Selina, Inumori, Kenki, and Momo.
Hiro, Roa, Junna, Lumina-sensei, and Genju. We split up and depart like that.
I want to talk with everyone about the awakened abilities and future plans, but let’s put that aside for now.
We should have some time to celebrate defeating the giant monster.
Please look forward to part four…!!!!
