Three days passed by in this world. It took me a while but it was worth a wait.

"Onii-chan!! You made it!!"(Shira)
"Un(yes). Mastering the seven concept level magic, [Imagination Composition] skill, and [Magic Conceptualization] gave me a hard time."(Shin)
I used it immediately and we head back home.
-----------------------
"Eh?"(Shin)
[Eh?](Girls)
We saw three girls. One of them is familiar person. Claire-san. The other two aren't.
-----------------------
[... I see.](Shin and Girls)
Hinako and Reinhardt explained to us what happened. The girls massage their forehead hearing about Theia-san.
"It has been a while, Amelia-san."(Momo)
"My, my... So you are part of his harem..."(Amelia)
"Yes. I lost my income but my power is now on another height and I have large influence here and there already."(Momo)
"... I am the Supreme Pontiff of Puritan Church."(Amelia)
"My apologies."(Momo)
I welcomed them warmly and let Hinako take care of them. The girls chat with them. I got shunned with the girls instead and Karen played with me instead.
--------------------
Theia-san visit me at the study room alone.
"Lord Shin, though it is late of me, I am Theia Charlotte Wales. First Princess of United Kingdom. I am fated to be chosen as one of your wives. Please take care of me from now on."(Theia)
"Thank you. If you are here, then you already knows everything?"(Shin)
"Yes. Nevertheless, I still visit you to this place."(Theia)
I sighed deeply.
"Me too. I an Sengaku Shin. Please take care of me, Theia-san, no, Theia. Also, call me Shin."(Shin)
I smile at her affectionately. I decided to kiss her. I initiated it first. Though I can't still hide my embarrassment and blushed shyly.
----------------------
(POV-Narrator)
Theia return to girls' place. With fiercely blushing face.
"I did it!!!"(Theia)
[Congrats!!](Girls)
They cheered to her victory.
"Theia-san, can we talk to each other? Only the two of us?"(Shira)
She accepted and followed her to Grand Fortuna Cellar.
"Shin-onii-chan... He is still walking to the path of despair for a very long time. He managed to divert to that path thanks to Rin-nee and Miharu-nee. But though his heart is indomitable, it is very fragile."(Shira)
"But he-"(Theia)
"What you see in the outside is a fact that he managed to overcome it. And he will keep taking that despair. For our sakes. We cannot help him on that matter. But we can help him stand up again even after he falls down. He needed not a person as powerful as him. He needs people who will stand and stay by his side."(Shira)
"... Leave it to me. I might not capable in terms of power but if it is on emotional side, I can handle it."(Theia)
Theia resolutely nodded to Shira.
"Thank you. I wish I could share that burden but... It is impossible for me. Me and others decided to do all things we could do. Like these."(Shira)
She smiles at her with desperate face. And a pleading eyes.
"... Shin-sama is truly loved."(Theia)
"Because he never forgets to give love even he is in despair. This is just him reaping his rewards. He didn't stop giving good things even he doesn't know if that will save him."(Shira)
"Nonetheless, he was saved."(Theia)
"However, not completely."(Shira)
"But, that must be because of his nature. He was strong enough to move forward. Even not knowing what the future will take. Now, he is the future himself."(Theia)
Theia reassured her.
"You mustn't underestimate Shin too much. He is not as weak as you could have imagined."(Theia)
