Chapter 91 - The Strongest Husband

Inside the mansion, afternoon.

Just as usual, Balthazar was holding my hand.

Since I put a ring on her, she wont let go of me, holding my hand whatever she does.

At first, it felt very inconvenient, but recently, it doesnt seem to be like that anymore.

What should we do today. Do you have something that you want to do?

Bal is okay, just being like this you know?

Balthazar said her usual answer.

Tilting her head, she answers like its okay just being like this, so what?.

I see, then, thats fine too. Im going to read Grimoires

Okay. Lucio-chan, hes cute when hes reading, so I like watching

You arent watching though

I made a wry laugh.

When I start reading mangaI mean, Balthazar would start sleeping with a snot bubble when shes near Grimoires.

There was no way that she would be looking at my face, rather, its her who was sleeping that is cute.

Well! That is good as well, so I should just read manga.

Thinking of reading a new manga, I stood up, but at that time.

Luccio-kun

The door was thrown open, and one of my wives, Nadia jumped inside the room.

She ran to me with an excited face, and she lowers her upper body, matching her line of sight with me who is sitting.

Lucio-kun, Lucio-kun, I saw something good, so lets go play with that today!

Something good?

Un, something good. Hacchan is fine with that?

Bal, shes fine being just like this with Lucio-chan you know?

Thatis

Nadia pulled Balthazars hand, forcefully making her stand.

Ah!

Our holding hands got released, and Balthazar made a heartbreaking face.

You should hold hands when sleeping at night okay!

UnI got it

She tries to hold hands again, but she was convinced by Nadia.

And then, what is the something good?

That is

She took us to the outskirts of La Linea.

I came to the flower garden that we frequently visit with Nadia and Balthazar.

Nadia who was in the lead approached one tree, stopping at a little far away place, and turned to us.

Its this

She said, and pointed at the ground.

Looking at it carefully, there was a finger-sized hole, and ants with red body were coming out from inside.

This, are you pointing at this ants nest?

Un

With a face full of smile, Nadia nodded with very excitedly.

What would we do with this?

Lets explore! Just like that thing that we did before

Ahh, that huh

I nodded.

It was a game I played with my wives a lot of times.

The game where Id make our body smaller, and while holding weapons or tools for attacking, exploring inside the nest.

Shes suggesting that we should do that.

I know that, but why now

Because, Hacchan hasnt done it yet right? Since its a good timing, I want to do it with Hacchan you know

Ahh, I see

I looked at Balthazar who was clueless like *Pokan*.

I see, it was like that huh.

Thinking of it carefully, I feel like I did the same thing during the time with Veronica.

Its like, Nadias way of welcoming her huh.

I got the story, but then, shouldnt we just do it inside the mansion?

Around the mansion, there isnt any ants anymore. I saw a roach-chan, but Sylvie would get afraid with just hearing about doing something with roach-chan

I see. Sylvia isnt good with cockroaches after all

Well, if that is so.

I got it, lets do it

What are we going to do, Lucio-chan?

Well, just look

Nadia and Balthazar, I faced my two wives, and casted magic.

I took a glance at Balthazar.

Since there would be a malfunction

Big

Hekuchi!

Balthazar sneezed.

The magic powers hit me directly.

Thats right, since there would be a malfunction in the magic with this happening, I used magic that would make someone bigger rather than smaller.

And after that malfunctioning, there would be no problem if we get smaller.

Well then.

The smoke of the magic powers that hit me directly started to clear.

A-re?

Nothing changed.

Nadia and Balthazar are still standing in front of me.

With a glance, their size hasnt changed, but even so, my size didnt change as well.

We didnt, change?

We didnt change, Lucio-kun

This is strange. Not becoming bigger, or not becoming smaller. Does this mean that it didnt malfunction, but rather, erased the effects completely?

You want to try again?

I guess so

Lucio-chan, ne, ne, Lucio-chan

Balthazar grabbed my finger, and pulled me.

What is it

That

That?

At the place where Balthazar was pointing to, Nadia and I turned there.

Gege!

Nadia raised her voice, but I feel the same way.

At that placethere was a monster.

It was an ant.

There was an ant there, that has a body length of about 3 meters.

It wasnt only one, the same thing crawls out of their nest one next to the other.

What does this mean?

the thing that malfunction wasnt the effect, but the target

Eh?

It means that, the magic that makes something bigger didnt make someone smaller, but rather, the magic that shouldve been casted on us changed its target to the ants

Oh. I see!

Big ones, theres a lot of them

Balthazar leisurely whispered.

Thank goodness it isnt roach-chan. Sylvies heart wouldve stopped

Nadia said comment leisurely with a different meaning.

I mean, it isnt the time for that. We need to either return them back or defeat them

Thats right! If this continues, the ants would go towards the town

Nadia finally felt a sense of urgency.

Its because, the ants that became giants crawled down from the hill of the flower garden, and started to march towards La Lineas direction.

It looks like theyre going to attack the town.

If this goes on, the giant antsthe ants larger than humans will attack the town.

Gigantic insects are more difficult to deal with compared to normal monsters.

I cant leave them alone. Ill go and exterminate them

This isnt a situation for playing games.

Wait here. Im going to clean them up

Un. Do your best, Lucio-kun

Bal will go too

Dont Hacchan

Nadia stopped Balthazar who wanted to follow.

Why? Bal is the Demon King you know?

Thats why Ill be useful in fights, Balthazar wanted to say.

And that, Nadia smiled with a grin.

No, no, you shouldnt, its Lucio-kuns job at times like this. We are going to watch Lucio-kuns actions here

Actions?

Thats right, his actions that are so cool

Lucio-chan is super cool you know?

He would get super super cool

Super super

Balthazar tilted her head, thought of it, and looked at me.

And finally, she looked down with flushed cheeks, and looked at me with her lovely eyes from below.

She probably imagined something.

Lets wait here together okay

un

And so, with that, do your best, Lucio-kun! Well be watching from here

Yeah

Nadia with a smile, and Balthazar with bashfulness.

Being sent away by the two, I ran.

I went down from the hill full force, and after taking enough distance from Balthazar.

Fly High

I flew to the sky.

I took a glance behind me. I saw the twos appearance in the size of a bean.

Thats right, I need to let them see my cool side.

My wives are expecting it, its the husbands job to answer.

I turned around, and looked at the group of ants in the front.

The ants that were gradually increasing had already reached the number of several hundreds, and they are still continuing to increase.

I took a deep breath, and charged my magic powers.

Weather ChangeDisaster

The ground shook, the sky was split.

The lightning roars, and a rain of thunder poured down.

The ancient magic that creates natural disasters, I activated it with a way of limiting its range, it was something I learned when started to go out with Balthazar.

I couldnt help but look forward to what expression would Balthazar make after seeing this.
