TWO TROUBLESOME SISTERS

Rudeus was living a happy newlywed life together with his wife Sylphiette, but the sudden arrival of his two younger sisters makes things a lot more complicated. While Aisha is a bona fide child prodigy only too happy to help out around the house, Norn is incredibly average and wants nothing to do with a big brother she loathes. To get away from Rudeus, she’s gone off to live alone in the dorms at the University of Magic, but life at school isn’t treating her well. Now she’s withdrawn into her room, shutting herself off from the world. Is it time for a big brother to intervene?

CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO SISTERS

Rudeus and Sylphiette are enjoying a romantic newlywed life together when Rudeus’s younger sisters, Norn and Aisha, suddenly arrive from abroad. Another unexpected reunion quickly follows–their bodyguard for the trip was none other than Ruijerd, Rudeus’s old adventuring partner! While Rudeus has faced down monsters, dragons, and the curriculum of the University of Magic, none of that prepared him for dealing with a pair of sisters who couldn’t be more unlike each other, not to mention Ruijerd’s mixed feelings about his marriage…

A MAGIC BETWEEN WORLDS

Rudeus is enjoying every moment of his newlywed life with his beloved wife Sylphie. However, there is one other person at the University who remembers life on Earth–Nanahoshi.

She’s designed a huge magic circle meant to bridge the gap between worlds, but when the experiment goes wrong, it creates a dire crisis of confidence that only Rudeus can set to rights.

A NEW LIFE TOGETHER (IN ANOTHER WORLD)

Sylphiette and Rudeus spent many long years apart, but fate has finally brought them back together, this time as lovers. When Princess Ariel asks Rudeus about his intentions, he doesn’t hesitate for a moment–he’s going to marry Sylphie! What’s more, he wants the perfect house for their newly wedded life together. He’s got his eyes on a suspiciously haunted mansion. After a little bit of team ghost-busting with his friends, a frightening property might just be the perfect place for love!

A RAIN-SOAKED RENDEZVOUS

For years, Sylphie has lived in disguise as a man, serving as a princess’s bodyguard under the alias Fitz. Yet from the moment her childhood friend Rudeus joined her at the University of Magic, she’s waited for him to see through that charade, and maybe even fall in love with her. Princess Ariel decides that it’s time for extreme measures: If Rudeus is too oblivious to uncover the truth on his own, then she’ll engineer a scheme that forces Sylphie and Rudeus into an intensely romantic situation!

TO THE WORLD WE LEFT BEHIND
