You're unbelievable

So, I ended up telling Misha that Ruu-chan is Beelzebul of the Five Elders.

"… You're unbelievable, nya. Having one of the Five Elders as a wife… Well, I guess that kinda thing happens when you're a messenger of the gods."

Whoa, this cat just accepted it like it was nothing. That's my bestie for you.

"Geez! You can't just go telling people without permission, Kari-chan!"

"That's right! There goes our little bit of fun!"

"This means you'll have to keep us company tonight, nice and proper."

"Oh, that's right! You're sleeping with us tonight, okay?"

"Now that that's decided, I need to make some stamina boosters. Let's have dinner be something energy-building too."

Aww, sorry about that. But yeah, let's sleep together tonight! Ehehe.

"Oh, wanna join us, Misha? I can totally look at you with lewd eyes!!"

"I'll pass, nya. I mean, a six-way with five madams is just too much, nya…"

"Having my limbs pinned down by four of them is the best, you know! And then the last one gets to do whatever she wants with me. Ehehe, they're all such little teases～"

"Little… Ah, so Karina's one of those people who can't tell dwarven ages, huh."

"I mean, intellectually I know their actual ages and all that, but still! My instincts just go by looks above all else! They're my cute little wives, after all."

When I started gushing, all five of them blushed cutely.

"… """" … We love you, Kari-chan!!"""""

"I love you all too!!!"

No mercy on the public displays of affection even in front of Misha! We're newlyweds, after all!

"Hey, hey, which one's that half-dwarf girl's grandma?"

"Hm? You mean Aishia? That'd be me～"

Kuu-chan raised her hand.

"… Yeah, she looks about the same age as my dad, nya."

"I'm Carbuncle Shounin. Nice to meet you, okay?"

Ooh, Kuu-chan's using the Shounin name too. Ehehe. Makes me so happy!

"Carbuncle… Oh! That's the same name as Carbuncle-sama of the Five Elders, nya!"

"Hm? Oh, sorry, time out for a sec."

The Five Elders huddled together for a whispered conversation.

"… Could it be she only thinks Ruu-chan is one of the Five Elders?"

"Probably. She does seem kinda dumb."

"Alright! Let's all properly introduce ourselves this time!"

"Ehehe, I already went with Shounin."

"I'm the only one Kari-chan spoiled the surprise for～ That means I get first dibs tonight～"

They finished their discussion and came back.

"… I'm Vermilion Shounin!"

"Maheshvara Shounin! Let's be friends!"

"I'm Amber Shounin! Nice to meetcha!"

"Carbuncle Shounin! Already said it once, but here it is again!"

"And I'm Beelzebul Shounin…!!"

""""" All five together… Neo Five Elders!!!!!"""""

BOOM! An over-the-top self-introduction complete with explosion effects.

Wait, what's with those five-colored explosions? Did you make a new Magic Tool? That's so cool!!

"Ehehe, we based it on those sentai shows you mentioned, Kari-chan."

"I see. Nice, Mie-chan. Let me use it sometime too, it looks fun."

"Actually, I'll make a Kari-chan exclusive color. What do you want? Black? That glossy black like obsidian is totally your signature color."

"Black? That's totally the sixth ranger vibe. I like it!"

As Mie-chan and I were playfully bumping fists and horsing around, Misha seemed to be thinking about something.

"… ! I get it now, nya!!"

"Hm? What's up, Misha?"

"Karina, you went and collected dwarves with the same names as the Five Elders, nya!? That's no good, nya! If the real ones find out, they'll definitely get mad, nya!! At the very least, stop having them call themselves the Five Elders, nya!!"

Misha pointed at me accusingly.

I mean, if they really were fake Five Elders, the real ones might actually get upset. Misha can be surprisingly sensible.

"… No, they're all the real deal, you know?"

"The real ones can't possibly be this young, nya!!!!"

Did she forget that they have a grandchild like Aishia despite looking this young?

Wait, does she think they're step-grandchildren or something? Is that the conclusion she came to?

"Alright, she's exactly the kind of dummy we expected."

"Now the info about Ruu-chan being one of the Five Elders has been reset too."

"So no monopolizing, got it, Ruu-chan?"

"We're all taking turns properly, remember?"

"Aww, fine, I guess～"

By the way, the real Five Elders apparently wouldn't get upset over something like this.

Apparently there are quite a few groups of five in Tessin who admire the Five Elders and use similar names. Malicious fraud gets cracked down on, but names like "Neo Five Elders" or "Shadow Five Elders" or "Five Elders Next" and other knockoff-sounding names are fine as long as they don't cause problems.
