Chapter 206 - Bunshin Magic’s Purpose

“I’m going to put a few of these clones inside your bracelets, so you can use them as you please.”

“EHH!?”

My wives turned to me simultaneously, flabbergasted at what I said.

“Does that mean that these Halt clones would listen if we have any request?”

Leaffa was clutching my bunshin’s clothes while asking me that.

“Yup. They’re fundamentally created to protect you, but they’re relatively similar to me...so, ahm, you can use them whenever I can’t accompany you guys.”

Two of my wives would sleep beside me every night, but because I wanted Tina to sleep beside me, the left side was dedicated to her.

My vacant right side was for my wives, and they assigned a rotation schedule for it, but that also meant that I could only sleep with each of my ten wives except Tina, once every ten days.

Each and every one of my wives seemed happy when it’s their turn to sleep with me, so I guessed that they must have been lonely during the nights that I couldn’t sleep with them.

Actually, Leaffa and Youko consulted me about this matter, saying they want me to do something about this.

That’s why I created this Bunshin Magic so that I could accompany my wives at the same time.

“F-for example, is it okay if we ask Master’s clone to sleep together with us?!”

“Yep.”

“They could manifest and stay for the whole night?” (Mai and Mei)

“Yea. If they’re not gonna use magical energy in battle, then they could stay through the night without needing mana replenishment.”

Actually, if it’s just to sleep, it could last for 10 days without a hitch.

However, if my clones would stay with my wives 24/7 for ten days, it’s possible that they would develop a deeper affection for my clones.

That’s why I controlled the behavior of the Bunshin Magic so that it would return back to the bracelet once it was greeted in the morning.

I didn’t want my wives to feel lonely, but I didn’t want them to feel distant, either.

This was all because of my ego.

“Can we still summon them at night after they returned to the bracelet, meow?”

“Of course. I also added a magical stone in your bracelet, and it would absorb my mana from the surroundings. My mansion is saturated with mana, so they would replenish automatically just by staying there.”

“So, Halt, we don’t have to request you to replenish them, is that it?”

“Yup, Luna. That’s correct~.”

Actually, I could also replenish the mana myself whenever they conjured my bunshin out of the bracelet, but I guess it would be too difficult for my wives.

That’s because if they had to ask me everyday to replenish the mana, it would be like announcing that they were sleeping with my bunshin every single night.

Well, all the experiences that the bunshins had would flow back to me once the bunshin vanished, so I would know whether my wives used them even without them requesting me for replenishment.

“By the way, is it possible to conjure a few clones at the same time?” (Mai and Mei)

“That’s alright, too. But then, mana replenishment would take a longer time if you’re going to release multiple clones, so it might be impossible to do that for consecutive days.”

Afterward, I answered a few more questions that my wives had, before putting a temporary stop on Q&A time. We then proceeded to the unveiling of the dungeon.

That’s because Sally and Lilia were completely left alone.

“Sorry for making you wait.”

“N-no. Please don’t worry about it.”

“Bunshin Magic… Halt-sama’s is still one heck of a guy as ever, meow.”

Sally muttered under her breath that she would do her best to have one of my bunshins in the future.

The only people who could have my bunshins were the people who possessed my special bracelets — in short, only my wives.

If she wanted to have my bunshin, then Sally must become my wife too.

Still, I wanted Sally and Lilia to join my clan in the future, so I started thinking that maybe I could give them a flaming knight as their escort.

—***—

We headed towards the Master Control Room, leaving Merdie, Seira, Sally and Lilia at the entrance of the dungeon.

A huge crystal ball installed in the center of the room served as the monitor where we could check the situation inside the dungeon.

“Alright, please sit down wherever you want, guys.”

I already prepared some chairs in front of the monitor, so I gestured for them to take their seat.

“I’m claiming Master’s right side!”

Youko forcefully pushed me to sit right in front of the monitor while declaring that.

“Ah, Youko, that’s too unfair!”

“Then, I will take my place beside Halt-sama’s left side as usual.”

Tina immediately sat on my left while Leaffa was busy grumbling against Youko.

“Alright, then I’m sitting here.”

Sylph sat on my lap.

“Eh, that’s… is that allowed?” (Mai and Mei)

Nah, I didn’t say it’s allowed, though…

“Hmpf, I was aiming for that spot.”

“Hakua, you can sit on my lap if you want.”

“Thankie thankie, Leaffa!”

Leaffa sat beside Tina, and Hakua happily climbed on her lap.

My other wives also took their seats.

Alright, let’s proceed with the debut of my dungeon!

I told Merdie and the rest through the bracelet that the dungeon was now open.
