I thought the gorilla macho was going to go for it. Lol
608: Anonymous Combatant
It was totally going in the direction of risking body for wife! Lol
609: Hakase
gorimacho enhancing his entire body with magic power.
This is bad, he’s seriously planning to throw me all the way to the top of the castle.
The still inexperienced Sexy is flustered, “Ah, um, what should I do?”
Only the gorimacho had made up his mind.
Me: “Wait, there has to be a better way if we think about it. Listen to me?”
gorimacho: “No time for that. Also, I’m a little interested in the fusion technique.”
Me: “If it’s a friendship ultimate move then listen to my opinioooooooooon!?”
610: Hakase
That day, I flew through the sky. Ah, so humans can fly through the sky…
611: Anonymous Combatant
Lol what an idiot
612: Anonymous Combatant
Is this the confirmation thing with Sexy?

Cooperation Ultimate Technique: Hakase Human Cannonball
614: Hakase
Soaring through the sky, I was like a silver shooting star gliding across the high noon canal.
A father who went from host to househusband, a mother who is a comedienne.
Your son is energetically flying through the sky right now, did you know?
When you fly through the sky with a physical body, old memories unexpectedly come back to you.
The sky is mysterious, isn’t it?
615: Anonymous Combatant
That’s probably your life flashing before your eyes lol
616: Anonymous Combatant
Seems you’ve properly inherited talent from both your parents.
617: Anonymous Combatant
The wit to avoid missing laughs must be from the blood of a comedy actor.

But this is a national castle, so they’ll normally be on alert for attacks and have magical barriers and stuff. The castle structure itself is also sturdy.
While in midair, I prepared countermeasure spells and reinforced myself with enhancements and barriers in preparation for impact.
As I was doing that, the castle came closer.
619: Anonymous Combatant
The Hakase is pretty capable to be able to take countermeasures while being thrown.
620: Anonymous Combatant
That’s what the gorimacho believed in him for…
621: Anonymous Combatant
The power of friendship indeed.
622: Hakase
>> 620 Absolutely not.
Piercing through the magical barrier, missile me self charged forward and smashed through the castle’s final wall.
Creepy Noble: “Kukuku, now that woman is mine! Guehehehehe!”
Me: “Hakase landing.”
Creepy noble: “Guhaahaoaaaa!??”
With an unexpected direct hit,
my headbutt struck the creepy noble figure head-on, sending him flying while also shattering the charming staff he held.
With the soldiers’ brainwashing broken, there was no way they’d follow some old geezer anymore.
Although unintentional, it really was a speed resolution.
gorimacho: “Hakase, you did it!”
As the soldiers were neutralized, the gorimacho who rushed over heard my calm words:
Me: “gorimacho, let me hit you.”
And so the battle ended. It was an excessively hollow victory…
623: Anonymous Combatant
The creepy noble figure definitely didn’t see this coming lol
624: Anonymous Combatant
Feels bad for him, he just wanted to brainwash the princess wife with the charming staff.
625: Sexy
Almost everything up to here is fact. I smiled, or rather, laughed out loud at this.
Ah, I understood then that the executive wasn’t actually scary.
626: Anonymous Combatant
Sexy has given her stamp of approval lol
627: Anonymous Combatant
So this isn’t an embellishment? Lol
628: Hakase
This story quickly spread throughout the organization.
[The gorimacho defeated a former fiancée gone rogue who was targeting his wife, through his courage and prowess]
The princess wife who didn’t witness it in person became even more smitten, and my reputation among the combatants skyrocketed, causing quite a stir.
I couldn’t say anything.
To deny it, I’d have to explain the Hakase missile scenario, which is embarrassing.
Staying silent and enduring it was the only dashing way to handle it.
629: Anonymous Combatant
The gorimacho’s strategy worked out in the end, didn’t it?
630: Hakase
And as time passed, the gorimacho’s children started asking me to tell them about that time.
For the little twin girls, it’s the story of [Papa working really hard in a battle to protect Mama].
When those sparkling eyes look at me, I always tell it like this:
Me: “Your papa was amazing back then. He came up with a plan and fought bravely to protect his beloved wife. He easily knocked aside the vile noble figure.”
It’s a complete lie, but what can you do?
I can’t tell the twin girls who admire their papa about that unsightly incident.
This is also a dashing way to handle it, I suppose.
631: Anonymous Combatant
And it ties back to the initial lie.
632: Anonymous Combatant
Not to hide his own embarrassment, but to protect their papa dignity, huh.
633: Anonymous Combatant
The Hakase really is quite the schemer.

Leng’s close friend Halvied is smart.
However, that doesn’t mean he can always come up with the best strategy.
Leng has a way to overturn everything single-handedly that his friend is unaware of – [one dashing way].
Leng-Zhan-Niebe was once one of the four executives of the Delnkeim organization.
A valiant and daring man who wields the thunderstrike great war axe [Kopieto] crafted by Halvied. He was once praised as one of the strongest warriors of Delnkeim.
But now he goes by the name Sorahide Ren and lives in Japan.
His job is as a mansion superintendent. It’s a high-class mansion with units ranging from 2LDK to 5LDK across its twelve floors.
Only a tenth of the rooms are occupied, so the rental income is modest. However, the agreement is to not overcrowd it, and living expenses are paid as a salary from the owner, so it’s not an issue.
The reason Leng could get such an easy job is thanks to his close friend.
When he defected from the organization, Halvied did him a favor. As advance payment, Halvied not only provided Sorahide Ren family register, but also arranged housing and employment.
Apparently preparations were made in Japan even before Delnkeim infiltrated the country. This mansion that even the leader Vilaverit doesn’t know about was part of that.
“Honestly, Japan would be easier to conquer if Lord Vilaverit just chilled out.”
It’s disrespectful, but I can’t help but mutter that. Since my family of four can live happily under the current circumstances, the details don’t really matter.
“Well then, Leng. Thank you for having us over.”
“I want to learn more cooking from your wife again, nya.”
After finishing dinner and playing with the kids for a bit, Halvied and Miina headed home.
My wife always looks forward to their visits since they happily eat her cooking.
Our son and daughter are also quite attached to those two. Especially my son who says “I want to become a scholar like Mr Halvied!” As a father, it’s a bit sad.
Those two have remained Delnkeim executives even after our family defected. Halvied seems to be extending his influence in various areas for Vilaverit’s sake.
He has a bit more free time recently thanks to his assistant, but he’s still quite busy.
The burden has increased because the leader insists on clinging to the previous one, but Halvied doesn’t try to abandon her. He simply and stubbornly tries to stay by Vilaverit’s side.
…However, Leng actually does have a way to change the leader’s mind.
Miina being an airhead is a lost cause from the start. Even Zeros and Leticia wouldn’t realize this move of Leng’s. The solution he has is only possible because Leng is a married man.
“I think if he just tells Leader Vilaverit ‘I want you. Abandon the organization and become my wife,’ most of the problems would be resolved.”
The current leader’s stubbornness comes from her longing for her father too much.
So if she had someone else she liked more, while still feeling torn, she’d probably retract her current course. And the most suitable person for that is undoubtedly Halvied.
Even if the other executives leave, he’s the one who will stay by her side to the end, devoting himself to her. If confessed to by a man like that, her heart would definitely be swayed.
Vilaverit already feels gratitude and reliance towards Halvied.
If proposed to as a woman, she’d absolutely lean that way and while showing some lingering attachment, I think she’d discard her way of life as leader.
“But Halvied isn’t that smooth to confess love through a scheme.”
So I don’t tell my friend anything. If I brought up this plan, he’d definitely agonize over it.
However, personally I think that kind of ending could also work. Halvied and just Vilaverit becoming husband and wife and living together happily might not be so bad.
“Hopefully it doesn’t turn out badly though.”
After seeing off the diligent proxy executive and his sister-in-law, Leng returns home.
For smart people like Zeros and Halvied to be so inept, while someone like me can be a bit smooth, just goes to show life is unpredictable.
Well, now that I’m back I should thank my wife for today’s food and do the dishes from dinner.
I can’t cook but I can at least clean up.
Let’s unwind and spend a relaxing evening together as a couple, rewarding each other for today’s efforts.

On the way home, a message came in on Hakase Haruhiko’s XR device .
It was from the girl fighting Delnkeim as the magical girl Asahina Moe – Lurun.
Moe: [Haru-san, do you have time now?]
Haruchi: [I’m free. What’s up, Moe-chan?]
Moe: [I’m glad. Well, I was hoping we could meet up after school tomorrow.]
Haruchi: [I can make some time if it’s brief, but what did you need?]
She replied after a bit with somewhat formal wording:
Moe: [Please. I have something very important to discuss with Haru-san.]
