—Tremble, tremble.
Suddenly, Winia's body began to shake.
As if she'd seen something she shouldn't have, she pointed at the childlike Lisha descending the stairs, trembling violently with a paling face as she slowly turned to check my expression.
"N-No, not Blackie, right? It can't be, right? The Blackie I know would never go after a little girl like that... right? Tell me it's not!"
Her voice was shaking terribly.
What the...?
"Winia? What are you on about?"
"Th-that kid over there... Tell me it's not Blackie, quick! I was trying to understand, but that...! Blackie loves big tits!!!"
"Ah."
Winia seemed to have jumped to a serious misunderstanding upon seeing Lisha in her childlike form and was on the verge of panic. I could kind of see what she meant.
Of course, I'm a normal guy with normal desires.
Just like Winia said, I like adult women with big breasts. Hell, if the supposed fourth wife showed up looking that young, even I'd freak out.
Because that kind of thing was utterly grotesque and something that should never happen in reality.
Lisha, watching us, simply smiled sweetly.
"Heh heh heh, Winia. No need to be so shocked. You see, what this is..."
I tried to explain right away to calm her down.
"Oppa, you're here? Hehe, Lisha's been waiting for you."
Suddenly, Lisha beamed innocently and said that in the cutest girlish voice imaginable!!!! It was unbelievably pure, straight out of a little girl's playbook!!!!
"What? Huh? Huh? Y-Yes?! L-Lisha?!?! What did you just say???"
I yelled in shock. What the hell was this?! Just as I turned to give Winia a proper explanation—
"Aaaah!!!!"
The massive shock hit Winia so hard she screamed and fainted on the spot!
"N-No! Winia! Winiaaaaa!!!!! Snap out of it!!!!"
I swiftly caught her collapsing body with honed reflexes. Cradled in my arms, Winia looked just like a sleeping princess from the forest, eyes peacefully shut!
Winia had fainted!
"What in the world...! Lisha! Lishaaa!!! What kind of prank is this!!! This!!!!"
"Mm, umm?"
—Rustle.
Lisha, shrouded in darkness, reverted to her true form in an instant and tried to make excuses with a troubled look.
"...It seems I took my joke a bit too far. Hurry and carry her to the bedroom upstairs."
"Oppa, you're here! Hehe! Lisha's been waiting for youuuu!!!"
I wailed in utter despair, mimicking the girlish tone Lisha had just used...! Lisha! This is all your fault—look what you did to Winia!
"Th-that's..."
Lisha flushed red and averted her eyes from me.
I nagged her again, pressing the issue.
"Oppa, you're here! Hehe! Lisha's been waiting for youuuu!!!"
"...I was wrong. Enough already."
"Oppa, you're here!!!"
"Eeeek!! I said stop it!!"
—Rustle!
"Guh!"
Darkness suddenly flew at me, sealing my mouth. I wanted to keep shouting that little girl Lisha had been waiting, but I couldn't move my lips anymore.
"Mmph!"
The black magical energy, possessing physical force, bound my mouth shut. After a moment, the spell lifted.
"Even I want to mess around sometimes!"
"Urgh...! Lisha...! I can't believe you!"
Anyway, I gently scooped up Winia and carefully headed upstairs.
—Squish...
Her massive breasts sagged heavily, drained of strength. Even at night, they stayed perky yet soft, full of bounce—but seeing them limp like this felt like the world was crumbling...!
My irreplaceable treasure, reduced to this!!!!
"How could you do that! Lisha! A little girl?! Does that even make sense?!"
"...Even I'm embarrassed to the point of madness now. Please, drop it. I beg you."
Lisha covered her face with both hands and pleaded in a tiny voice. No wonder she was mortified.
Pretending to be a girl in girl form!
Tasteless didn't even begin to cover it.
"But it was kinda cute, though."
"Wh-what... Eek! How dare you tease me!"
"You're the one who teased!"
"Urk...!"
Of course, this was separate from whether it was cute or not.
—Creak.
I opened the door to the upstairs room and laid Winia on the bed. Lisha immediately held out her palm, placing her hand on Winia's forehead as if examining her.
"Hmm... Seems she just fainted from the shock. No problems, so don't worry."
"I-is that so. Good."
If Lisha said it was fine, then it was.
For a second there, I thought my heart would stop. Finally relieved, I sat on the bed. Winia was breathing softly and steadily.
"Phew, so this girl... is your second wife?"
Lisha said that after checking on Winia.
This was their first meeting, after all.
"Yes. Her name is Winia."
"...She's got huge breasts. Seriously huge."
"They're quite the charm, aren't they."
"Your tastes really are set in stone."
Lisha said that while lightly fondling her own breasts, as if sizing them up. From my view, there wasn't much difference between them, honestly.
Lisha in her true form was quite the bombshell too.
"Yeah, she's a cute one. Despite her youth, she's amassed a considerable amount of mana. Seems like she's got real talent."
"You can tell just by looking?"
"I'm a mage myself. I can sense that much at a glance."
Fair enough—with all the years she's lived, her magical prowess must far surpass Winia's. I wouldn't know the principles, though; not my field.
"Hehe, speaking of which, you came right away?"
"I said I would, didn't I? I stopped by Karin this morning too—she said she'd talk later. Though she seemed a bit hesitant."
"Hmm... I don't mind. Tell her that."
"Got it."
As I chatted with Lisha, Winia stirred with a "Umm..." and slowly opened her eyes. I immediately held her face.
"Winia. You awake?"
"...Blackie? I feel like I heard something absolutely horrifying."
Winia, still half-dazed, squinted and said that. Of course,
"Nah. Nothing like that happened. Relax. This is paradise. No horrors here."
"Right... This is paradise... No horrors... Bullshit! Blackie! What the hell was that girl?! Does that make sense?! Are you insane?! In your right mind?! The world, the world!!!!"
"Guh. Guh."
Winia snapped back into a frenzy, eyes wide as she grabbed and shook my face, demanding answers. Clearly, the "little girl" thing was a huge deal for her.
I got it completely.
"You mean the girl?"
Lisha spoke to the freaking-out Winia.
"Huh? Wha...?"
Winia flinched at the voice, slowly looked up at Lisha, and trembled in surprise.
"B-breasts..."
She eyed Lisha's chest, then sat up to check her own. Her regained bounce made them gloriously perfect again.
"B-Blackie. Who is she?"
She grabbed my collar in a fluster and asked.
"This is Lisha. The fourth wife I told you about."
"Ah... Then what was that girl earlier?"
"Girl? What are you talking about? I'd never go after a kid. You must've dreamed it."
I played it off like nothing happened. Winia looked confused for a moment, then gently held her head and replied.
"A dream... Yeah. My Blackie only likes busty perverts... Phew. What the heck was that."
Winia got off the bed, stood before Lisha, and bowed slightly in greeting.
"Anyway... N-nice to meet you. I'm Winia."
"I am Lisha Leongreen. As you likely know, I am this one's fourth wife."
"..."
Winia had been all high-and-mighty with Karin, but she seemed a bit stiff before Lisha. Makes sense—Lisha's true form carried quite the aura.
"Hehe, impressive how you've reached such heights at your young age. Your talent as a mage shines through... Take this."
—Poof.
A small explosion from Lisha's hand summoned a worn book with a striking dark red cover—clearly a grimoire.
"Th-this is...?"
Winia's eyes went wide at the sight.
"You seem to specialize in fire magic. I no longer need it, so consider it a meeting gift. It'll help in many ways."
"Ah... Th-thank you."
Winia, a bit stunned, thanked her awkwardly and reached out. It was indeed a magic book—I took it for her.
"Hehehe. Think of it as a bribe if you like. Something like that. We'll be family from now on, so better to start on good terms. Looking forward to it, second wife Winia."
"L-looking forward to it... Lisha."
"Glad you like it. Anyway, I have so much to talk about. Shall we head downstairs once you're settled?"
Lisha smoothly took control and led Winia downstairs. Winia, still dazed, just clung to my collar and glanced at me.
"...B-Blackie, what?"
Once Lisha went ahead, Winia asked with a super confused face.
"What."
"No... That Lisha... I can feel her mage level. What the..."
"That strong a mage?"
"At least to the point where I can't critique her skills. No, Blackie, shouldn't you have told me about this sooner?! I was shocked. Her breasts too... And she looks so refined? Even her speech... Is she from nobility?"
By isekai common sense, having a family name meant nobility.
Karin had become a nun, but she was nobility nonetheless.
"Dunno."
"How don't you?!"
"I'm not a details guy."
"Argh, you're infuriating! I couldn't even get a proper word out!"
"Heh heh, yeah? Let's talk downstairs then. She's a good person."
"Ugh..."
We headed back down.
I sat side-by-side with Winia on the sofa in the back of the shop. Lisha soon brought tea and sat across from us with a smile.
"So, Winia. If there's anything you want to say, go ahead."
"Well..."
"Don't overthink it. I already hold you in high regard. Feel free to speak freely."
"..."
Lisha's demeanor was pure composure.
It felt just like Winia with Karin earlier. And now Winia was in Karin's position.
Maybe because of that mage level gap she mentioned—Winia was practically rigid. I squeezed her hand to ease her tension.
"Blackie..."
As Winia finally started to speak, Lisha quickly set down her teacup and jumped in.
"I love him dearly. More than anything. I've already sworn to devote my life to him. He's my lifelong partner. I can't contain this burning passion."
She shot me a seductive glance. I winked back as Kim Katt, accepting it, and Lisha smiled sweetly again.
"But my partner has other wives besides me—overflowing, in fact. Of course, I knew that when I chose this, but it still feels lonely being by myself."
Lisha spoke like a noble lady, fiddling with her nails.
"Thus, Winia. I want to stake my claim too."
"Sigh, yeah, figured."
Winia sighed in response.
"Yes. That's fine. That's why I came today."
"Oh? Is that so?"
