n“What about now?”

n“… Hmm?”

n“Why?”

n“I’m amazed by how calm you are about this, Ssosia.”

n“Hmph! You look down on me too much, husband! I’m the Second Demon. I already knew from the beginning that I was your second love. I just didn’t know who the first one was.”

n“Ah…”

nMy jealous, cowardly wife taking this situation with so much composure made me feel strange, but after hearing her reasoning, I understood.

nHer curse put her second in everything.

nOf course, that didn’t mean she was the second strongest in the world, but being second in her life was like fate.

n“So, what about now?” She asked again.

nJust as calmly, I replied, “I like her. You already know that, right?”

nBut not because she was my first love. Rather, it was purely because of the time we spent together when she was still Trainee Teacher.

nSsosia glanced at the proud Morality Teacher for a moment, pouting cowardly.

n“Don’t lie to me.”

n“Don’t you trust me?”

n“Hmph!”

nSnorting profusely, she ate up her remaining black-bean-paste-filled fish-shaped bun.

nAfterward, amid our conversation, she stood up with a bag full of fish-shaped buns that she had ordered as extra.

n“I’ll be going now.”

n“Se-e-e-ex!”

nThe obscene stingray popped out of a gap in space.

n“I’ll be back soon.”

n“… Hmph!”

nPop!

nIgnoring the earthlings’ eyes, my wife turned around and returned to Fantasy.

nIt made our surroundings a bit noisy, but no one directly meddled with us.

nThat alone told me Earth had become accustomed to the concept of fantasy.

n“… Shall we walk for a bit, noona?”

n“Ah! Sure!”

n“Haha! Please speak comfortably around me. Like back then.”

n“But…”

n“Aren’t you on vacation?”

nLike Ssosia, I also acted without paying attention to the gazes around me.

nAfter all, they would forget us the moment we left.

nLike I did in the past.

n“… Huh.”

n“Well, we don’t have much time. Let’s go, shall we?”

n“S-sure.”

nWe followed the same route we took when she was still in college.

nIt wasn’t even funny. I completely forgot about it, but wasn’t I on a date with my cowardly wife?

nStill, now I know.

nThis wasn’t a trick done by a transcendent being like the Goddess of Destiny. And this wasn’t a coincidence either.

nGap.

nThis was just like how ants couldn’t see the entirety of a human body at a glance.

n“Back then, we walked along this famous street side by side.”

n“Yes.”

n“The only difference was…”

nI held her small hand tightly.

nIntimidated by my wife, she became withdrawn, but she was now gradually regaining her vigor.

nStill, deep hesitation lingered in her hand.

nI knew why.

n“If I had been a god back then, I’d probably have a little daughter by now that’s around the age of a college student, and she’d resemble Morality Teacher.”

n“Hih…”

nAs soon as she heard my words, she blushed and visibly panicked.

n『A certain restless demonic god wants a certain righteous divine being to stop.』

n『A certain innocent goddess watches anxiously.』

n『A certain ignorant war god supports youth.』

n『A certain god hands out popcorn joyfully.』

n… What were they expecting?

nWe walked in silence.

nWe weren’t as loud and rowdy as the couples around us, but our tightly clasped hands were enough for us, just like in the past.

n

n

nStill, I couldn’t help but wonder if it felt different now that 30 years had passed.

nEven without words, I conveyed what I wanted to say only with my facial expression and eyes. No, Morality Teacher probably had the same thoughts I did.

n“We’re almost there.”

n“Yes…”

nThe road might no longer be exactly the same as before, but we still managed to reach our final destination.

nThe hotel where I stayed.

nI burst out in excitement when I saw this building during our school field trip, but now that I got another look at it, I finally realized how small and shabby it was.

n“Compared to President Kang Han Soo’s current house, of course, it’s shabby.”

n“Oh! Did my expression tell you what I had in mind?”

n“No. I just had a feeling.”

nUnlike in the past, her expression was brighter and no longer awkward.

nIt had been a long time since I had been on such a quiet date.

nAfter all, I always started conversations by grabbing my opponent’s spine or pelvis.

nI wanted to go all the way to the hotel, but now that I was the Righteous GGG-Class Hero, I had too many responsibilities on my shoulders.

nSlip.

nI slowly released her hand, even though she didn’t seem to want to let go.

n“Hmm. So…”

n“President, may I ask for a favor?”

n“Huh?”

n“When someone bothers me again, can you be there for me once more?”

nMy eyes widened.

nMorality Teacher, avoiding my gaze, looked so lovely both physically and mentally that I wanted to hug her tightly.

nI suppressed that urge, however, and answered with a smile instead.

n“… As many times as you need me to.”

n“Thank you.”

n‘Come on, Kang Han Soo. Muster up the courage to tell her!’

nIf I passed up on this chance due to lack of bravery, I could never call myself the GGG-Class Hero again.

n“I don’t believe in nor expect eternal love. But if we don’t do this right, our love won’t end in happiness.”

n“Ah…”

n“Please continue guiding me in the future, Morality Teacher.”

n“Of course!”

n“On that note, the secretary position…”

n“Sorry!”

n“Well, then.”

nShe didn’t change a bit.

nThe same went for me.

n『A certain restless demonic god complains of frustration.』

n『A certain innocent goddess is very impressed.』

n『A certain ignorant war god secretly leaves.』

n『A certain sea god appears with a hot fish-shaped bun.』

nEven the noisy deities became silent.

nJust because my memories of the past, which were sealed because of my low rank, had returned, it didn’t mean I was no longer the GGG-Class Hero.

nNothing had changed.

n“You applied for four nights and five days of vacation, right?”

n“Yes.”

n“Relax and take it easy. I’ll be going now.”

n“Are you going to be okay?”

nI knew full well what Morality Teacher was worried about.

nThe incarnation of jealousy, Ssosia!

nMy cowardly wife went home quietly as if nothing happened, but she’d be waiting for my return.

nThat much was clear even without looking at it.

n“It’s okay.”

nIf things started looking dire, I could just attack her pelvis.

n*****

nAfter returning home, I gave her plenty of love until she passed out and then quickly returned to the frontlines.

nAs the Righteous Hero.

nI remembered Fugitive Senior’s words.

n“Your home should be peaceful.”

nHe who couldn’t even protect his family had no business saving the world!

nAn ordinary male ruled by the 11th finger saving the world?

nThat was a joke even passing slimes would frown upon.

nIf it were that easy to accomplish, anyone would’ve become a Hero by now.

nHowever, few understood that simple principle.

n“Do what must be done! Just please stop that horny Hero!”

n“The very person who defeated the Demon Lord himself has gone crazy!”

n“Please save my daughter from the clutches of that savage!”

n“How can he be so shameless?!”

nThe universe was wide, and there were many Heroes.

nSummons, reincarnation, regression, resurrection…

nThey appeared through different methods, but they had one thing in common: they started with fraudulent talent or unique skills.

n

n

nSimply put, they weren’t picked based on their personality.

nControlling those who had become infinitely free after eliminating the Demon Lord’s threat was impossible.

n“This is Type B.”

nI categorized Heroes based on my experiences with them.

nType A put their beloved colleagues on a leash and locked them up in deserted islands or dungeons.

nIt wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they were born in Fantasy to mate.

nType O insisted on the world belonging to them because they were the ones that saved it.

nType AB had gone crazy because of how many spouses and children they had.

nType RH refused to defeat the Demon Lord, their main goal, and instead enjoyed their freedom right from the beginning.

nThere were also GL, BL, XXX, and XYY, but they all generally fell under the aforementioned five types.

nThe one before me was type B.

nIf not dealt with early, he was most likely to transition to becoming Type AB after indulging himself in his fantasy.

n“As expected of someone like you.”

nBiologically, females were often Type A, while males were Type B.

nUnable to tend to the complaints of all the handsome men they had collected, female Heroes were forced to make the extreme choice of confining their companions.

nMeanwhile, male Heroes considered their ability to impregnate several beauties at the same time by themselves an overwhelming advantage, which was a manifestation of Type B.

nO had an equal ratio of men and women, and AB, an advanced version of B, was dominated by men.

nA lot of females were also Type RH since they didn’t desire barbaric battles.

nBL, GL, XXX, XYY…

nJust thinking about them hurt my head, so I decided to skip explaining them!

n“Ugh! This smell is disgusting.”

nIt wasn’t hard to find the active Type B Heroes on rural planets since after defeating their sworn enemy, the Demon Lord, those who belonged to that category often began to move out in the open, knowing full well no one could put a stop to them anymore.

nHe gathered all the beauties he had collected through his adventures in a spacious, luxurious mansion and diligently produced the next generation.

n“…”

n“…”

n“…”

nAnd numerous pregnant women were silently watching his frenzy with emotionless eyes.

nThere was no need to ask whose seed they carried.

nThere was only one man in this place, after all.

n“Huh!”

n“Ugh, ahhhh~”

nTap tap tap.

nThe sound of flesh hitting flesh echoed throughout the quiet garden.

nBold outdoor play? No, they were the only ones in this area. Hence, to him, there was probably no difference between indoors and outdoors.

nWell, that reduced the time it would take for me to search for him by one second, at least.

n“Hey.”

n“Who are you? You must have a death wish—Keugh?!”

n“Haha! I’m Hero A! As I conveniently passed by your home, I decided to pay you a visit. It won’t be a problem, right?”

n“Kkhhhgh!”

n“Thank you for your warm hospitality!”

nI greeted him with the Righteous Hero’s smile, which could make even the most arrogant beauty bow down before me.

nOh, no!

nMy hand slipped, causing me to accidentally put more strength into my grip.

n“What?!”

n“Oh my god!”

nType B Hero died in vain due to a minor accident, so I decided to clean up his mess.

nThere was no need to worry, however. I was the Righteous GGG-Class Hero, after all.

nI was an expert in cleaning up messes.

n“I can guess why you young ladies rejected the courtship of many handsome men and married him instead.”

n“I truly loved him…”

n“If you don’t truly understand your reality and the situation you’re in, please keep your mouth shut.”

n“…”

n“Where was I? Oh, yes. Marriage! You must have given your body and soul to this Hero in anticipation of familial glory and powerful descendants. But as you can see, he’s already dead. That’s why I offer you an alternative.”

nI handed out the contract I had prepared in advance to the deceased Hero’s wives, then explained its contents.

n“This is an application for admission to the Fantasy Institution, which specializes in nurturing Heroes.”

n“Heroes?”

n“Fantasy?”

n“Institution?”

n“You can enroll your child, which will be born later, or you can enter the school yourself. Doesn’t it sound appealing?”

nYesterday, today, tomorrow…

nAs the Righteous GGG-class Hero, I continued to run my own business to nurture and train my juniors into becoming excellent Heroes!

nEnd.

nWe did it! It’s been a blast translating our GGG-Class Degenerate’s journey these past five months. Thank you so much for supporting this series and for making it all happen.
