Chapter 102 (2/2)

「It’s very hard to escape from the kotatsu after all〜. Well, do your best〜」

I cheered on her with a leisure voice.

Nothing can be done with this. It is a natural thing that one would not be able to get out of the kotatsu, it is something that I cannot do anything about.

The only thing that I could do, is just to cheer like what I did just now.

「Ku! As expected of Lucio-kun’s magic. To think that it would make me unable to escape once I entered!!」

It’s not my magic, but j.a.panese wisdom though.

「Kuuuuu, mumumumu……well, whatever〜……」

It looks like it was not(?) something that needed urgency, Nadia thought deeply about it for awhile, and gave up as a result, choosing to remain in the kotatsu.

「Nadia-chan, you’re groaning, are you alright?」

「Ara, what is this?」

Sylvia and Veronica came at the same time.

「*Niyari*」

Ah! A villainous face.

Nadia’s s.h.i.+ning smile s.h.i.+ned.

And, after about an hour.

「I-I cannot go out〜……」

「You tricked us!」

Sylvia and Veronica were the same, they got caught by the kotatsu.

「Ahahaha〜, it’s amazing right〜, Lucio-kun’s magic」

「Un, as expected of Lucio-sama」

「Placing beddings over the table, and make it warm. Similar with the date in the sea, you really have great imagination as usual」

No, that’s why I’m saying that this isn’t my idea, but the invention of the great predecessors.

Well, I won’t say it though.

「Ah! It’s Lucio-chan」

And, around an hour of being late, my fourth wife Balthazar came with light footsteps.

「Oh〜, Hacchan, you want to enter the kotatsu too?」

「But, it’s already full」

Sylvia whispered with distress.

It’s true that it’s full.

It’s a low square table, normally, it’s a kotatsu for four.

Me, Nadia, Sylvia, and Veronica.

It’s full with this.

And everyone got caught by the kotatsu and cannot go out.

Meaning, Balthazar cannot enter.

“What should we do”, my wives got troubled.

「Bal, she’s cold you know?」

「Ou」

「Lucio-chan should make her warm okay」

She said that, and didn’t mind the kotatsu but instead, hugged my arm.

「「「Ah」」」

The three raised their voice at the same time. “There was that”, was written on their faces.

「Supii〜」, Balthazar who was hugging my arm started to sleep almost without a moment of pause.

Oi oi, are you n.o.bita-kun or something.

「That looks good……」

Veronica whispered, and at the same time, I felt like I heard the voice 「Ha!」.

Sylvia, Nadia, and Veronica.

The eyes of the three changed to that of a predator beast. Unlike the kotatsu, my arm has only one open.

I’m reading manga, but there was a case that when my both arms were being held, my wife would turn the pages for me.

It isn’t a problem that I’m reading manga, my arm was open after all.

“Would a compet.i.tion happen with this”, I readied myself, but.

「Uu〜……I can’t go out……」

「Ahh really! You stupid kotatsu〜」

「Ku! The chance is right in front of me」

The three lamented at the same time.

……they want to stick to me, but it’s impossible because they can’t leave the kotatsu, huh.

……pu!

I couldn’t help but laugh out.

In the end, after that, no one was able to leave.

My other arm remained vacantly lonely until the very end.

The magic powers of the kotatsu, it cannot be underestimated.
