(POV-Shin)
"-There you have it. I got caught in troublesome situation."(Yumina)
She explained what happened to her when she returned to her homeland. The girls looked at her with terrified face. I smile wryly at her.
"It's nice to meet you, Your Majesty the Queen of Kendricks Kingdom, Rumina Kendricks-sama."(Shin)
"No, no. Be more casual, Yoichiro's son. Also, nice to meet you, Shin-kun."(Rumina)
She smiles gently at me more so than when she looks at her own daughter, weird.
"Ummm, yes, Rumina-sa-"(Shin)
"Okaa-san"(Rumina)
Her smile gives off pressure...
"Yes, okaa-san. Okaa-san, you know otou-san?"(Shin)
"We adventured with your parents together to learn about the world 20 years ago. If your mom aren't so possessive about him, I'm already his second wife. Well, thanks to that I'm your future mother-in-law."(Yumina)
'Hohoho!', she laughed like the villainess on otome games. So that's the reason about her gentle eyes huh? I smile conflictedly like Yumina.
"Oh, excuse me. I have yet to introduce myself to everyone. I'm Rumina Adriade Lirst Kendricks, Yumina's mother and the Queen of Kendircks."(Rumina)
She performed a perfect royal etiquette of Kendricks. Everyone introduced themselves to each other formally.
"Oh, am I that late?"(Momo)
Momo-san returned back.
"Welcome back Momo-san."(Shin)
"I'm home. It's nice to meet you, Her Majesty Queen Kendricks, Madam Elf Ambassador, Lady Rin's mother and Hikari's family. I am 1st rank witch of Grand Coven, Kagane Momo. I don't know my number of order in the harem but I'm also one of them."(Momo)
She bowed deeply to greet everyone.
"Perfect. Shin-kun, can I request to let the boy's be out? We will be having a girls talk."(Rumina)
I looked at Hikari's father; he nodded in consent.
"I understand, okaa-san. Kazehaya-sama, if you may?"(Shin)
"Yes."(Shin)
We two, along with Reinhardt, leave the room.

(POV-Minari)
Whoa..!! Lotsa big shots in here! Everyone is nervous! Mom remained unfazed. Same to Momo-san and Aisha-nee though. Nevertheless, all of them are beauties eh?
"Well to all fiances, who is the first wife?"(Rumina)
Rumina-sama asked nonchalantly. Everyone pointed to Rin-onee-sama. Well, it is her after all. She shyly raised her hands. So cute~
"My, my Rin-chan! You're my prided daughter and you worked so hard for it so be proud!"(Kaoru)
"Y,yes! Okaa-san!"(Rin)
She stands up and did a formal courtesy to all of us.
"I have been living for three years with Shin-kun. I'm Azamittsu Rin. I will not introduce myself as Shin-kun's first wife but the first woman that ever loved him."(Rin)
She have dignified and resolute expression, worthy of being a queen. As expect-!!!
"I like this girl. No wonder they all point at you without hesitation."(Rumina)
"Rin-onee-sama... Your new titles..."(Minari)
[Princess of Hope] and [Queen of the Future]... The counterpart of Shin-onii-san's [Prince of Hope] and [King of the Future].
"I see... Those titles appeared not only because the world recognized you as one but also because you recognized yourself as one that will stand on his side and struggle with him. That acceptance in your heart for its privileges and duties accompanying those sprouted those titles. You become like him. One filled with contradictions but existing in harmony altogether. In times 'Hope' is lost or destroyed, you will rebirth or replace that hope. That pure heart which guided your way to him gave you that possibility. Congratulations for you, Shin and the world. You exists now beyond the realms the destiny could never touch. By your will, you can walk to the future you desire, to the future no one thought had exists, to the future that you'll create."(Shira)
Her profound words resonated deep within our hearts, Despite me not understanding the complete meaning of her words.
"We should contemplate about that later. Yosh, let's ask Aisha-san this time. What do you see in him?"(Lula)
She shrewdly diverted the conversation back.
"He is stupid."(Aisha)
We looked at her with shocked face.
[Fu...Fufufufu!!](Rin, Shira)
The two laughed at her answer.
"I totally agree!"(Shira)
"Me too."(Rin)
"That man doesn't like troublesome situation. But when he is helping others, even it is troublesome he willsee that through the end. It's like he couldn't helped it. I ant to support that man who steadily walked that path. Because those who see that unblinding warm light will cling to it. Thus, his burden will get heavier and heavier."(Aisha)
"I see..."(Rumina)
"He is truly a kind person isn't he?"(Hisana)
The mothers nodded in comprehension.
