Chapter 112 The Wives’ Association ①
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”Now then, today at this social gathering hosted by Tina, the Daughter of Duke Badcage, we will hold an impromptu ‘Wives’ Association’ meeting!”
”Yay!”
In a corner of the venue where the social gathering was being held, applause erupted among the ladies who had occupied the space. After being accosted by Marquis Samoro, I had been caught by this mysterious assembly. No, it’s not like I was taken away by force or anything.
”Furthermore, today we have a special guest—the owner of the magic tool shop ‘Harvest¹‘, Kento-san!”
”H-hello, I’m Kento…”
”Yay!”
Applause similar to the previous one erupted in response to my greeting. By the way, as usual, Aerith from the Garou Merchant Guild² was clinging to my right arm, while Satsuki, the court mage, had her hand on my left arm.
”Aerith-chan, I’m so glad you found such a wonderful husband.”
”Yes, everyone was so worried about you.”
”Thank you, everyone,” Aerith replied.
In this mysterious event called the “Wives’ Association,” Aerith was quite popular. The main participants of this group were the wives of prominent merchant guilds and noblewomen. In short, it seemed to be a gathering that naturally formed among members who frequently saw each other at social events like this one.
It seemed Aerith’s mother had also been a long-time participant. Sometimes she would bring Aerith along, and it had served as a place to consult about various things, such as finding a ‘mate’ for Aerith when she was struggling with her heavy ‘heat’ periods.
”Your mother must be relieved too, right?”
”Yes, after I invited my husband to our home, she cried tears of joy with me…”
Whether it was true or not remained uncertain, but the association’s founding was said to date back to before the establishment of the Canaria Kingdom³. The founder was rumored to be the wife of the first king—the first queen—and it supposedly originated from tea parties held by the wives of the founding comrades.
Since then, while the name and participant demographics had shifted, it was said to be a prestigious unofficial organization that had continued unbroken… Though the truth might be revealed if I asked the adventurer elf Tania, who apparently knew those times.
There were other rumors too. Like how the previous queen—the mother of Her Majesty Queen Cecile—was one of the participants who looked forward to this meeting, or how Marchioness Adeline Samoro, who had just been publicly revealed to be keeping a ‘Slime-kun,’ was also a member. Unfortunately, she couldn’t participate right now because she was keeping an eye on her husband…
The rumors didn’t stop there. They said the group sometimes influenced national politics or served as the catalyst for suppressing internal rebellions; stories I couldn’t quite keep up with kept popping up. However, the important thing right now was that the major customers of my shop were all gathered here in one place.
”Imelda-san, Olbia-san, thank you so much for today.”
”There was no need to egg our husbands on after all, was there?”
”No, no, we only cooperated with the Garou Merchant Guild and the Tasogare Merchant Guild⁴,” Imelda from the Akatsuki Merchant Guild⁵ said.
”Hehe, same for us. We should be thanking the Garou Merchant Guild, or rather, Aerith-chan,” Olbia replied.
That’s right, the ones who had brought me here were Lady Imelda of the Akatsuki Guild and Lady Olbia of the Tasogare Guild. When they had told me “Let’s talk later” during our earlier greetings, it had been for this purpose.
”Was it Satsuki-san? Are you also one of Kento-san’s…?”
”N-no, I’ve just been dispatched by Her Majesty…”
”Oh, is that so? What a waste, you have to snatch him up. It’s true that polygamy is rare in the royal capital, but there are many places where people get along well… Oh, didn’t Lady Madrant’s household have two other wives back in their territory?”
”Yes. I’m here representing us today… That’s why I have to gather information to take back for everyone’s sake…,” Madrant said.
”Why not ask him to sell the products in the territorial capital? Hey, Olbia-san, recently they’ve been selling at various branch stores, right?”
”Yes, currently it’s mainly in the central regional cities, but eventually we aim to sell at all branches. Thanks to you, it looks like we can increase the number of branches too…”
”Oh, that’s a lovely story! I definitely want the products in our territorial capital. I’ll tell our purveyors, so let’s discuss the branch opening together!”
”That’s a delightful invitation. In that case…” Olbia replied.
They say three women make a market, but when more than three gather, the clamor transcends the heavens. While Satsuki, who had become the seed of the topic, was flustered, the conversation jumped here and there, with other nearby ladies joining in, and business deals were being hammered out in the blink of an eye.
I see, the rumor that the “Wives’ Association” moves national politics might not be just a rumor. In this place where the wives of influential people gather, they naturally understand each other’s businesses and territorial management, adjusting their mutual interests while debating this and that. Of course, not every talk goes smoothly…
”Hmm, an immediate branch opening might be a bit difficult… The standard ‘Ddo-Buddy⁶‘ and aphrodisiacs would be fast, but the ‘Anl-series’ are new products…”
”Don’t say that, try a little harder? Even without that, the rural areas are struggling because they’re slow to catch up on trends.”
”Now, now, my lady, don’t be like that. Since Tasogare is also having a hard time, I’ll pass along some of the products that came to us. Right, Tasogare-san will allow that much, won’t she?”
”Yes, that would be helpful. I’m sorry to keep you waiting, but if sales volume increases, it will be easier to persuade my husband.”
”Oh, then we’ll have to buy a lot. I wonder if I should persuade the wives of my husband’s subordinates too!”
”That would be perfect! If it’s a product from ‘Harvest,’ I’m sure everyone will love it and want it!”
From what I could see, whenever a suspicious atmosphere started to drift in, other wives would appear from the side and take it upon themselves to mediate. It seemed such an exquisite sense of balance was what made this association work. The long survival of this group was likely the result of such mutual efforts by these wives.
And of course, such stiff topics weren’t the only things they talked about. Rather, other topics were the main event. They were carrying on their conversation with great delight.
”What!? Imelda-san, you’re still being loved every single day!?”
”Y-yes. It’s an embarrassing story, regardless of my age…”
”Oh, but until a while ago, you said your husband’s ‘standing performance’ was getting worse…”
”That, thanks to the products from ‘Harvest’… At first it was just ‘Ddo-Buddy,’ but lately, while being tied hand and foot, I’ve been made to drink plenty of aphrodisiacs…”
”Eh, eh!? Isn’t that… very painful?”
”Oh, isn’t that what makes it good? Was the aphrodisiac ‘Harlot’s Pastime⁷‘? Or maybe ‘Comfort for the Ripe Body⁸‘?”
”It’s ‘Fevered Vina Hole, Burning Cloris⁹‘… Even though it’s painful because both the top and bottom are throbbing, he won’t touch me there, and I’m thoroughly and stickily tormented with the ‘Uterine Massager¹⁰‘…”
”Kyah! ♡” the surrounding ladies squealed.
”At first we used ‘Ddo-Buddy’ because his standing was poor, but lately, he gets excited seeing me lose myself to the ‘Ddo-Buddy’ and says, ‘My own thing is better than this, isn’t it!?’ and he’s even more intense than when we were young… ♡” Imelda confessed.
”Kyahhh! ♡♡♡!!!”
It seemed they were thoroughly enjoying our shop’s products. Lady Imelda’s husband is Gerald-shi of the Akatsuki Merchant Guild, whom I met earlier. He was a man with a virtuous face, in sharp contrast to the villainous-faced Badatt-shi of the Tasogare Guild, but to think he was a hidden S…
And Imelda herself, with her outstanding proportions, looked more like she’d be on the S side. People really are full of surprises. And the lewd talk continued.
”Ah, but my husband likes being tormented more than doing the tormenting. It won’t go the same way as with Imelda-san…”
”The preferences of gentlemen vary from person to person. What should we do? We certainly can’t make them drink aphrodisiacs for women…”
”Fufufu, aphrodisiacs aren’t the only products from ‘Harvest,’ you know.”
”Olbia-san!”
”This is a secret, but gentlemen also find pleasure in their nipples.”
”Eh!? Then, then, could it be you used the ‘Nple Clamper¹¹‘…?”
”Hehe, not just that. The ‘Uterine Massager’ can massage more than just the uterus…”
”Eh, eh!? Could it be, on a gentleman’s ‘Ddo-Buddy’…?”
”The frenulum is the target. Finding the right spot is a little difficult, but if you apply it to various places while testing, it serves as a way to tease him. And after the climax, keep applying it…! To the bright red glans…! The trick is not to forgive him even if he thrashes around…!”
”Kyahhh! ♡♡♡!!!”
”There’s still more, for example, the new product…!”
”Kyahhhh! ♡♡♡♡♡!!!”
Lady Olbia is the wife of Badatt-shi of the Tasogare Merchant Guild. That means… Yeah, let’s stop thinking about it. While I’m quite intrigued by the fact that the lovely Olbia, who is a complete contrast to Imelda, is a Dominatrix, I feel like I’m going to imagine too much.
My condolences to Gerald-shi, Badatt-shi, and the husbands of the other ladies whose lower-body affairs are being shared. No, it’s not someone else’s problem… Aerith would probably join in and talk about it with glee, and even if she didn’t, it seems my affairs with the women of our shop are shared among our female staff anyway…
Listening to the squealing voices of the ladies, I shut down all thought processing.

Summary:
Kento is brought to an impromptu meeting of the ‘Wives’ Association,’ a powerful unofficial group of noble and merchant wives. The ladies discuss business, territorial expansion for Kento’s shop products, and political mediation. The conversation eventually shifts into explicit talk about their sex lives and how they use Kento’s adult goods on their husbands. Kento is left overwhelmed and decides to stop thinking as he realizes his own private life is likely being discussed similarly.

Character Insight:
This chapter highlights the hidden power dynamics of the Canaria Kingdom, showing that the wives are often the ones driving economic and political progress behind the scenes. It also explores the ‘gap moe’ of the side characters, specifically how the virtuous-looking Gerald is a sadist and the delicate Olbia is a dominant queen. Kento’s realization that his own privacy is non-existent among his circle adds a layer of comedic dread to his character growth as a ‘public figure’ in this world.

Behind the Scene:
The ‘Wives’ Association’ is a common trope in historical and isekai fiction used to show soft power, but here it is uniquely blended with the protagonist’s specific business niche (adult goods), turning a political meeting into a customer feedback session.
