Mikoto and Katharina gathered the rest of the 5 wives and held a meeting.

“It’s no good if it stays like this!” Mikoto yelled.

“What do you mean?” Katharina asked.

The other three listen in, wondering what was going on.

“We always rush into the bath in bathing suits, or just sleep together in the bed… it’s no good if it stays like this! The routines, I mean!”

“””Routines…?””””

“What do you mean by routines?” Katharina asked, taking the lead for the rest of the four.

“The routines are…” Mikoto started. “Come on, it’s the… routines are routines, you know! That thing Floto said!”

“The thing Flora… aah…” Alexandra said, nodding as she remembered. “So that’s what you meant.”

As Mikoto couldn’t explain, Alexandra took over.

One time, after Flora finished her morning training, she heard her say, “I’ve been doing the same things all the time these days, these routines have to change…”. From that, she probably guessed what these “routines” were…

“Do you feel like she’s tired of repeating the same thing over and over again, or that she’s lacking stimulation?” Katharina said.

“That’s the thing,” Claudia said. “Based on what you’re talking about so far, that’s it, right?”

Flora sometimes says words that don’t make sense or words that seem to be from foreign languages. Mikoto who is eager to ask about these often tries to learn the meaning, but Mikoto does not always listen to everything as she sometimes acts like she knows everything.

At times like that, they would all think about the context and discuss what Mikoto meant. The same is true for this time’s “routines.”

“Wait a minute… are you saying our relationship with Floto is in trouble? Then that means…” Louisa said before she put her hands on her face to cover it, her skin turning pale.

Then everyone looks at each other with a face like they’ve noticed, too.

“Miss Flora is…” Katharina started.

“That means we’re…” Claudia said.

“You don’t mean… she’s gotten tired of us?” Alexandra finished.

Mikoto closed her eyes and nodded.

“It’s not going to work if we go on like this… If we go back to the Blish Isles, we’ll all be busy again, and Floto won’t have time to worry about us anymore. If we don’t do something… we’ll be thrown away!”

“That can’t be…?!”

“What should we do……?”

""

Everyone talks about it, but there is no conclusion. They’re a group of people who have almost no experience in love. No one can give an opinion on what to do in such a situation.

On the contrary, some traditionalists like Alexandra add even more to that

“Come to think of it… I’ve heard that it’s the same for both men and women, they’ll get tired of the same bedtime rituals all the time!”

“No-No, that can’t be right! I can’t live if Floto throws me away!” Louisa said, finally bursting into tears.

She always takes a step back because she’s a commoner, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t mind pulling back entirely because the affection for her is too weak. She doesn’t want to be abandoned, so she’s just desperately trying to hold back and take action. Even saying that you don’t care where you are on the hierarchy, or that she’s okay with just being an extramarital lover, she’ll just put up with it because she doesn’t want to be thrown away.

And when the possibility of that did come up, she was the one that exploded first. The remaining four were also shaken, but when Louisa started crying first, they managed to calm and comfort her by stroking her head.

“But I don’t think Miss Flora said that… that can’t be right… Did Miss Flora really say that?” Katharina asked Mikoto with disbelief

But Mikoto nodded sharply.

“Yes. I heard Floto say that.”

“””…………”””

Despair hangs over the five. They don’t despair about anything else, but the only thing these five fear is being abandoned by Flora. It has now become a reality and staring them in the face.

“That’s why!” Mikoto yelled. “If she’s tired of everything so far, we should give her a new stimulus! That’s the thing! Are we going to be silently thrown away like this? Before we go to the Blish Isles again… while we’re still in Caan Territory, we’ll do something again and turn things around!”

“Oh, that’s right!” Alexandra said.

“Yes! That’s what we’ll do!” Claudia said.

“Gusu…” Louisa sniffed. “Yeah…”

“Then let’s think about it… The Miss Flora Entrapment Strategy…”

The five of them had a thorough discussion that day.

To decide who went first, they used a game that Floto had taught them, rock-paper-scissors, and Mikoto ultimately won. After Floto’s early morning training, Mikoto approached her while she was working in her office.

“Hey, Floto, can I have a minute?” Mikoto said.

“Yes? What’s wrong, Mikoto?” Floto said as she stopped her writing hand, looked up, and tilted her head while looking puzzled.

When she needs to put on a competent face, she’s courageous and beautiful, but she’s so cute when she’s so defenseless and shy.

“Sit over here,” Mikoto said.

“Huh?” Floto said.

She must have been busy with work, but when Mikoto said that, Floto got up from her office desk and came over to the sofa. Floto must have thought that they would sit opposite each other on the sofa, but Mikoto stood next to her and pushed her onto the sofa.

“Um…? Mikoto…?”

“Fufufu.”

Without answering the bewildered Floto, Mikoto lies down on top of her. Mikoto’s strategy was to change places. They always attack her in the bath with bathing suits on, or on the bed in their sleepwear. They seem to be repeating the same thing all the time. That’s why it’s good to be in a different place or dressed differently once in a while.

“-!? Mikoto!?”

Mikoto leans on top and gently touches her skin. If she entwined all her fingers with Floto’s hand in a “Lover’s Knot”, Floto would turn red and panic.

“Someone could come in through that door right now, you know?” Mikoto said. “And yet why are you so excited?”

“M-Mikoto…”

Floto didn’t resist even though she was climbing higher and higher, her eyes were just wandering around with a red face. “I’ve done it!”, Mikoto thought so for a short while…

“Master Flora, the delegation is waiting…”

“Ah.”

“Ah……”

““”…………”””

""

With a rattle, the door opened and Musashi showed his face. Katharina was planning to stop anyone from visiting this room. No, she had successfully delayed visitors… Kanbee, that is…

However, since they were keeping the delegation waiting, Floto’s bodyguard Musashi also came to inform her. And for some reason, the Yamato Empire’s people don’t knock on the door. There was no custom of knocking there, perhaps because they had shoji screens and fusuma sliding doors that could not be knocked on.

Of course, even in the Yamato Empire, there is a minimum etiquette. It is natural to call out to the inside before entering the room. However, when it comes to this type of door and the manner of entering the room, it seems that people tend to forget about it. No matter how many times Floto says it, everyone forgets it. And finally, tragedy stuck.

“… I have seen nothing,” Musashi said, suddenly speaking awkwardly before he shut the door.

“Ah… AAAaaaaahhhh~~~~!!!???”

And with her face bright red and covered with both hands, Flora’s scream resounded throughout the mansion.

Mikoto’s strategy failed. The five move on to the next operation.

“I haven’t failed. It’s because Katharina didn’t do her job and stop anyone from coming,” Mikoto said.

“I was holding Kanbee down as we agreed upon,” Katharina said. “I was playing my part properly.”

Mikoto and Katharina are arguing about which one did the worse job. They couldn’t stop to listen, so the others left them alone and moved on to the next operation as a trio.

“Come now, Flora! Treat yourself to my chest!”

“Eh! Alexandra? What on earth is going on?”

Mikoto’s failure was due to doing the same thing as usual. Mikoto approached as usual, even though she had to break the usual routines. Nothing has changed there except the location. So Alexandra decided to change her usual self.

Alexandra has a strong-willed Villainess face, but she actually has a quiet personality, and when she does these things, she’s reserved and does as she’s asked. She is similar to the passive Flora in that sense. Both of them are passive, so even if the two of them were in that kind of atmosphere, they would just react in a naive way and not make much progress.

So Alexandra decided to take the plunge. She forces herself to imitate Mikoto, who she always observes.

“It’s alright, now hurry up and do it!” Alexandra said.

Actually, she’s too embarrassed to bear it, but if she bailed now, the strategy will fail. That’s why she forcibly hugs Flora. She will desperately hug Flora. She will squeeze her.

“Fubuuh!”

“Ahn! If you gasp so hard, it’ll tickle me!”

Flora’s breath tickles Alexandra’s chest as she goes “Fugah, fugah.” She was holding Alexandra back and just gasping, and she… eventually became quiet.

“Alexandra! You’ve failed!” Claudia yelled. “You’re overdoing it! Floto’s collapsing!”

“Huuh!? What-What should I do!?”

Surrounded by Alexandra’s colossal breasts, Flora endured until she suffocated and lost consciousness in a conflicted mess of suffering, joy, and comfort.

“It’s all because of your milk bags…!” Mikoto yelled at Alexandra, criticizing her.

However, you feel this is less that the operation failed, but more a personal grudge against Mikoto’s lack of assets, but no one mentions that. Those who remained to discuss were again moving on to the next operation.

“Hey, Floto! You must be tired by now, aren’t you? Let’s have tea with me,” Claudia said.

“Huh? I just took a break earlier…. Well, I suppose it’s fine,” Flora said.

Suspicious as she was about the timing, there was no reason to refuse an invitation from her bride. Always so busy, Flora has limited time to interact with her wives. So when she was invited, she tried to agree as much as possible.

“So, come over here!” Claudia said.

As she was tall for a woman, Claudia hugged Flora’s waist and pulled her to her. Claudia takes Flora’s hand as it was and starts dancing with their waists in close contact.

“Are we going to dance even though it’s a break?” Flora asked.

“… Aah! Well, that’s!”

Claudia isn’t doing this because she has any particular thoughts. She just felt like princes and princesses in fairy tales always dance like this, so she just started dancing. But even Claudia thought that it would be meaningless to dance all of a sudden after telling her they were taking a break.

“Fufu.”

“What’s wrong, Floto?”

The two dancers have a conversation. Claudia asked the smiling Flora her true intentions.

“Your feet move too loosely, My Prince?” Flora said “Come on… like this…, one, two, three, one, two, three…”

“Oh? Wah? Huh?”

Flora takes the lead as if Claudia was having dance lessons. After dancing like that for a while, Claudia gradually improved.

“Yes. This is good, Claudia. Now, you can always take the lead like the man, can’t you?” Flora said, looking up with a smile.

“Uuu…” Claudia moaned, even more mesmerized.

They just danced and Claudia was satisfied with Flora’s love for her… Considering the original purpose, the operation was a failure, but Claudia was happy.

“What in the hell are we going to do with just you being satisfied?!” Mikoto yelled, furious.

“Ahaha~, what indeed~?” Claudia said, still floating on air.

Mikoto gets even angrier at the laughter, but even so, her one-sided verbal abuse towards Claudia doesn’t seem to work and doesn’t seem to end. Those who remain will move on to the next operation.

“Floto… excuse me?”

“Yes? What’s wrong Louisa?” Flora asked.

Louisa approached while Flora was away from the delegation. The two of them talked while looking at the sea just at the start of sunset.

“In the past, we used to work together on the farm, and then we would talk like this until dusk,” Louisa said.

“Yeah, we used to,” Flora said.

The two of them reminisce about the past. They worked on the farm in Carruzan in the morning and studied magic together from noon. Always reluctant to go home, wanting to be with her all the time, Louisa was trying to hold out until the last minute when the sun went down.

Flora may have simply thought that Louisa was enthusiastic about studying, but Louisa enjoys spending time together and wants to stay longer, so the only time they spend together is when they are studying magic. That’s why she was just trying her best.

“That’s right… I can’t use amazing magic like you, Floto… I’m at a dead end now… What should I do? Like you did back then, Floto… I want to be able to use amazing fire magic.”

“Ah~… I told you about air, didn’t I, Louisa…? Didn’t I explain oxygen?”

Louisa nodded after thinking a little about Flora’s words. Flora has taught her a lot of knowledge. In fact, there are parts of her education that she really didn’t understand, but if she didn’t, Flora often even performs experiments to show her in practice.

“Magic is an image… your imagination…. The more you can imagine how magic works and what kind of effect it produces, the more effective it will appear. Remember the ‘Bellow’ experiment,” Flora said. “Oxygen is sent in. Then it burns more intensely. It’s Fire magic, so you don’t just think of fire itself. If you send oxygen into the fire, you’ll cause a stronger, more intense flame. Nowt hen…”

Flora closed her eyes and Louisa fell in love with her profile, smiling as she looked towards the gradually darkening see, and then Flora suddenly opened her eyes and met Louisa’s.

“-!? I, I got it! I’ll try it! Uh~~~n… Fire! Burn it down!”

An experiment with Flora, a burning fire. Make the fire stronger. A bellow blows in air and oxygen. Recalling that moment, Louis cast her spell on the sea.

GOUH!

""

And a huge pillar of fire suddenly erupted on the water. It could be seen from the town of Cien. Perhaps the light could also be seen from Lubek, which is quite far as a neighboring settlement. The Yamato Imperial Delegation, which was a little far away, was appalled at how easily such an ordinary girl used a spell of unimaginable magnitude.

“In Caan Territory, even ordinary town girls use unbelievably powerful magic as a matter of course.”

Such rumors spread in the Yamato Empire.

“Wh-What do you think?” Louisa said.

She thinks it’s better than usual. If you think so and look at Flora…

“Yes. It’s better than usual. As I’ve come to expect of you, Louisa,” Flora said, smiling.

And so… Louisa was satisfied holding hands with Flora while gazing at the sea until the sun fully set.

“Hold it! This is a total failure, isn’t it?! Katharina, you’re the last one! Do something about this!” Mikoto yelled.

“…………”

It’s already getting dark and they’re back at Cien Villa after finishing all of today’s inspections. Katharina, who was the last stronghold, left the room they were using without saying anything.

“Fufu, is it going to be you this, time Katharina?” Flora said.

“…………”

""

She said it as soon as Katharina entered her office.

“Did you notice?” Katharina said.

“I have indeed… I wondered if something was wrong if four of my wives suddenly approach me and act differently than usual.”

Regardless of whether it’s one or two people, if four people repeat strange behavior in a row, no matter how insensitive the target is, there’s no way they won’t notice.

“Katharina……”

Flora invited her to go around the desk and stand beside Flora. And when Katharina approached, Flora stood up…

“-!?”

Flora hugged Katharina just like that. Katharina freezes, not knowing what to do about this sudden event.

“Miss… Flora…”

“I don’t know what you were planning… but no matter what, you are my adorable brides.”

“…………”

After hearing that… Katharina remained quiet as Flora hugged her. She feels her heartbeat pounding. Is coming from Flora? Or is it her heart? Or both, perhaps.

“Miss Flora…”

“Katharina……”

They just move their bodies and stare at each other. And then…….

“Miss Flora, you’re the bride of us five.”

“………… I took the time to say something nice and put you in a good mood, didn’t I?” Flora said.

Katharina, who took the time to reach the best opportunity, somehow ended up crushing it. However, it wasn’t that she couldn’t read the mood… In the end, it was because Katharina felt sorry for her four comrades that she was the only one running wild ahead of them.
