When she saw all those manuscripts being thrown onto the small table in the center, Elma went into ecstasy. She began picking them up one by one and reading their "covers." Each cover had the title of the book and the volume number written on it.
On volume five of Romeo and Juliet, there was also a word written— Final.
Elma focused on that.
"Final? Does that mean the story ends with volume five?"
"Yes, that's right. I don't want to stretch the story too much. I could easily continue it for up to twenty volumes, but that would make all the drama and wars from the beginning feel insignificant. I chose to end it at the peak of the story."
"I see… If you kept going, it would just turn into a slice-of-life story about a couple. Some people like that kind of story, but most prefer drama or action."
"Exactly."
"You did the right thing. I can't wait to read the whole story!"
"Well, you can read it before it's published."
"Of course I will! I already made a release schedule, so it's fine. I won't post all the volumes at once."
"What's the release schedule?"
"I decided to post one volume from each story per month. With all these volumes, I'll have a lot of content stocked up. You can take a break for several months if you want." Elma said with a big smile. "You can enjoy your married life, hehehe~~"
"Don't say that. I don't want to take a break. I like writing."
"But if you keep writing so much, you'll finish all your stories soon…"
"Don't worry. I'm already planning new ones. I'll bring some fresh ideas in the coming months."
Elma's eyes sparkled. "That's great to hear!"
"Now, let's talk about the most important topic."
"The wedding."
"That's right." I filled my glass with water and drank it all before continuing. "The ceremony venue and the reception hall are already being renovated. They'll be ready soon. We've also taken care of the food and drinks. The only thing missing—"
"—is the wedding invitations. You came here to ask for my help."
"Exactly. Since you can print books so easily, you can also print invitations, right?"
"Of course."
"Then please do it."
"How many do you need?"
"Hmmm…" I thought about who I could invite. I don't have many friends, so that's a problem. Most of the guests will probably come from the Takemikazuchi Familia, since they're Mikoto's friends.
Should I invite the members of the Loki Familia?
After everything that happened, Loki probably hates me a lot.
Oh well.
"Make a hundred invitations."
"A hundred? You're inviting that many people?"
"Probably not."
"Then why make so many?"
"Just in case."
"Hmmm… Alright." Elma grabbed a pen and paper. "So, what should I write on the invitations? Should I add some elegant phrase or something like that?"
"Write whatever you want, I don't really care. As long as the address is there, it's fine."
"Shouldn't I mention that you're marrying Hestia, Lili, and Mikoto? People might be shocked when they arrive and see you marrying three women…"
"Yeah, include that too."
"Got it. Leave it to me! I'll have everything ready in three days at most!"
"There's no need to rush. Even though everything's ready, the wedding will take a little while."
"Huh? Why? If everything's done by the end of this month, you should get married then."
"I'm waiting for something…"
"What?"
"Secret…"
I can't tell her that I'm waiting for Ais and Tiona.
That's why I don't want her to hurry with the invitations.
Because if both of them agree to be with me, I'll marry them too.
'It might be hard to convince Hestia, but I think I can manage…'

A few days passed, and during those days, I slept with Hestia, Lili, and Mikoto many times. Why? Because I want to collect points! I'm really determined to buy that internet connection.
I want to try contacting my old world!
If I manage to do that, it would be incredible! I could tell people about the existence of
"isekai" and reveal that worlds created by others truly exist.
In other words—
Worlds created by novel, manga, or anime authors really exist. They're dimensions born the moment a story is written. The very existence of this world I'm in now is proof of that.
However, when an unwanted person (like me) enters such a world, it becomes completely separate from the original one. In other words, a second version of the Danmachi world.
A version that only I can live in.
Maybe there are countless versions of Danmachi's world. Maybe many people from Earth died and ended up living in alternate versions of this story.
Does that make sense?
That's my current theory.
Will I ever find out how I ended up in this world? I doubt it.
"Urgh, I think I'm overthinking this."
"Hm?" Hestia, who was lying beside me, looked confused by what I said.
"I was just thinking about some unnecessary stuff."
"Can't you tell me?"
"No." I said without thinking. I can't tell her that theory. What if she goes crazy after learning there could be multiple versions of her and this world? It's just a wild theory I made up anyway.
"Okay…" Hestia said, clearly suspicious of me.
"It's nothing serious, trust me."
I got out of bed and went to the bathroom.
As I started washing my face, Hestia walked in. She came up behind me and hugged me. She was naked, just like me, so I could feel her breasts pressing against my back.
"How about we go out for lunch today? It's been so long since we've had a date, right? And you've been having a lot of free time lately."
"Hmmm… Sure. I don't feel like cooking today." I said. Then I remembered Lili, Mikoto, and Haruhime. "Ah, but if I don't cook, the girls won't have anything to eat."
"Don't worry about that. Haruhime cooks really well~~"
"Well, that's true…"
"Alright then! I'll pick out something really cute to wear later!" Hestia said cheerfully and ran out of the bathroom.
I looked into the mirror.
While staring at my reflection, I thought I saw something strange on my face.
But it lasted less than a second.
"What was that?"
Am I going insane all of a sudden?
