落とし穴３９堀：そこに女湯があるから 漢解除と結果 (Part2)
The general participants, despite being dragged into our mess, held no grudges. In fact, we were currently raising a toast together at a tavern we’d rented out for the occasion.
"Man, Lord Crack, this is fun!"
"Indeed! I wasn't sure what to expect at first, but I never thought I'd get this fired up!"
"Right? Just pushing forward, pure and simple! No matter what happens, you keep going straight! It’s a refreshing feeling you just don't get on the battlefield. Oh, and you're the adventurer who said he wanted to see my younger sister Sharl in the buff, aren't you?"
"Ah, yes! I-I am terribly sorry..."
"What are you talking about?! That impressive spirit, that courage, that refusal to give up! It was all magnificent! How about it? Why don't you become my subordinate? After seeing that struggle, no one would dare deny your worth!"
"Y-you mean it!?"
"Of course! You can never have too many heroes like you. Besides, I’d be happy if you could build a good relationship with Sharl—she’s getting on in years and still hasn't settled down."
"R-really!?"
"Yes. It’s a shame, really. Even her youngest sister, Shera, has already married Yuki, but since she’s an elf, she just keeps acting like she’s still in her prime..."
Wait a minute. Teague is actively recruiting the adventurer who tried to peek at Sharl’s naked body into his own guard? Is that really okay? Sharl is going to be furious. And shouldn't he be worried about Lowell first?
As I was thinking this, Crack chimed in.
"You! You’re the perfect fit to be my successor as the Captain of the Royal Guard in Litea!"
"N-no, surely that’s too much!?"
"Nonsense! Don't be so humble! That charge of yours, the strength to keep pushing even after hitting a trap! That’s not something just anyone can imitate!"
You just want to hurry up and get posted to Weed, don't you, Crack?!
Still, everyone looks like they're having a good time, so I suppose it’s fine.
Phew, it looks like everything is going to end without any major issues.
Just as I reached for my drink, it was snatched away. I looked toward the direction it was taken from...
"My, my. You have quite the nerve, throwing everything else aside to have a drinking party, don't you?"
For some reason, my wives were standing there, arms crossed, with Seraria at the lead. Why is everyone here? Don't they have things to do with the beautiful princesses of the various nations!?
"Hahaha, work can wait until tomorrow. Everyone is already enjoying the open-air baths and dinner. Though, that’s not the real problem here."
"Ratz, can you tell what I'm thinking?"
"No, but if you're Yuki-san's wife, you’d know. And you’d also know that he doesn't understand the problem."
"U-um, Eris-san, why is everyone so angry?"
"Husband, we believed you would make it to the finish line. We even wore our new swimsuits and waited for you. And yet..."
Lulua said this, pushing Aslin and Filia forward.
"We were waiting for big brother, but you didn't come. *Hic*..."
"Big brother, you left us all alone to go play. *Sob*..."
Wait, are they crying for the wrong reasons? As I stood there, stunned, Labyris and Shera pulled the two crying girls into a hug.
"Don't cry. There’s no way Yuki would ever leave us behind."
"Exactly. As Labyris says, I'm sure he’ll look at our swimsuits at the inn and then pin us down right away."
What is that? The swimsuits are fine, but no way—there is absolutely no way I can handle all of them. I only have one body!
As I was thinking that, Tori and Riel grabbed both of my arms, making me look like some kind of space alien.
"U-um, some of you are pregnant... you're joking, right?"
"It's fine. We've even learned how to do it safely during pregnancy. Besides, Yuki, you've already taken three days off, so it’s not a problem."
Deryu smiled happily.
"B-but my work..."
"That is not a problem. Mino-chan and the other monsters have agreed to handle your duties, husband."
Kirue-san, you’re always so on top of things.
"Now, Kaya, grab that side."
"...Understood, Milly."
With that, they grabbed both of my legs, leaving me unable to resist.
"Alright, Ria and Jessica are already preparing at the inn, so let's head home."
"Yes!"
And just like that, I was carried away.
Ah, something is definitely wrong here, isn't it?

**Side: Teague, First Prince of Gartz**
"...Lord Crack."
"Yes?"
"Weed is quite a spirited place, isn't it?"
"Indeed..."
Crack and I muttered as we watched Yuki being carried away. The tavern had gone quiet, overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of the scene.
"A-anyway, let's not dwell on it! Everyone, there’s still plenty of drink left! Let's toast to today's hard-fought efforts! Cheers!"
The room was stunned for a moment, but everyone immediately broke into smiles.
"Cheers!"
I feel bad for Yuki, but I’m going to enjoy myself. It’s not often you get to let your hair down like this.
Just as I tilted my glass to pour the drink down my throat...
"Brother, didn't you say something about me being an old maid?"
"Pfft—!!"
At that voice, I sprayed the drink I had just swallowed like a mist.
"W-what are you talking about, Sharl?"
"I'll hear your excuses at the inn. Everyone, please, don't mind us."
"C-Crack!!"
"..."
Damn it, I was wrong. It wasn't just the women of Weed who were spirited.
All women are spirited, aren't they!?
*Aaaaaaah!!*
How was that? A friendship that starts with being a pervert!!
It’s okay for everyone to be a pervert!!
Just make sure your wives and family don't find out.
