The Villains I Taught Became Heroes

“Okay. So? How did you end up here?”

After a stormy day, I asked about their situation.

How on earth did they get here?

And what were their plans from now on?

Sowol paused for a moment, pondering before gazing intently at me.

“Didn’t you expect it, Master?”

“Well, I didn’t think you’d actually come.”

“We’ve struggled a lot to find out the dimension you were in and to get here.”

“Yeah. You’ve worked hard.”

I looked at Lena.

The beast of pleasure that had lusted after me was nowhere to be found; all that remained was a cute woman blushing and sneaking glances at me.

“W-well, we, um… used the Magic Empire’s technology and, um… the Asura sect’s knowledge. And Arisha broke the dimension barrier.”

I really didn’t need the detailed explanation.

What could I say? They worked hard just to see me.

“Yeah, you really went through a lot. And thank you. You must have hated me for leaving you behind.”

“Yep! So from now on, we’re going to keep you locked up!”

Are you really going to lock me up? I gazed at the three beauties.

Their twinkling eyes made me feel like one wrong word would land me in real trouble.

“Can we tone that down a bit?”

“No way~!”

Laughing playfully, Arisha snuggled into my embrace.

She was wearing just my shirt since the clothes she brought were being washed, and she flashed a delightful smile while nestled in my arms.

Sowol and Lena gazed at her warmly.

Looks like everyone felt a bit more relaxed.

“Um… Let’s go out first. I need to buy you some clothes.”

“Oh! We brought money.”

Sowol pulled out a pouch she had brought along.

It was filled with gold coins and ingots.

You could have come here empty-handed, but you brought all this? My students may be the best after all.

“I-I brought some too!”

Lena opened her bag.

Inside were artifacts and gold bars.

They really came prepared.

“I brought some too~!”

Arisha opened her bag filled with gold and jewels.

I sighed while looking at their treasures.

I should visit the gold shop later.

“You have a lot to do if you want to live here.”

“But, Master, you will teach us, right?”

“Yes, it just reminds me of mistakes from long ago…”

“I’ll only trust you!”

Receiving nothing but pure trust from my disciples brought back memories.

Who would have thought they would place such unconditional faith in me?

Where did that one who said I was always lying go?

“Let’s head out.”

I took the kids to the department store.

They were amazed by the car and were even more astonished by the size of the department store.

“Wow! Wow! I’ve never seen such a tall building before!”

“W-where is this? Is this a place for noble people?”

“Everyone, be careful. Don’t tarnish Master’s honor.”

“This is just a store.”

“…A store this big…?”

As they muttered in surprise, I took them around the department store.

I bought them everything from underwear to outfits, and since they were all pretty and had great figures, shopping wrapped up quickly.

“We also need to resolve your identity issues… Hmm… Well, don’t worry about that, I know someone.”

“Yay! Master!”

“There’s food here, and if you get bored, watch TV.”

I turned on the TV.

Their eyes widened at the broadcast from the giant screen.

There would be a lot to learn going forward.

But since they were clever kids, they’d likely pick it up just fine.

“I’ll be stepping out for a bit.”

“Where are you going?”

“I-I want to go too.”

“I wanna go too!!”

When I attempted to leave, their eyes sparkled.

They’re not like puppies following their owner, so why do they want to stick together so much?

But trying to tell them to wait seemed pointless, so I just nodded.

“But where are you going?”

“To meet my mother.”

“…Your mother…?”

“M-master’s mother… my mother…”

“Wow! If you’re going to meet your mother, I want to go too! I’ve always wanted to treat my mother-in-law like my real mom!”

You’ve really made up your mind, huh?

I nodded at the gleaming trio.

Mom will definitely be surprised.

But what can I do?

I had planned to show her eventually, so I might as well take them with me.

I changed into the clothes I bought for them, and we headed to the hospital. Upon arrival, the stares we received were intense.

It just proved how beautiful my girls were.

I felt a bit proud.

“Master! Master! Where do we go?”

“Just follow me.”

“What’s this place?”

“This is an elevator, it lets you travel between floors.”

“I-it’s narrow… it’s not dangerous, right?”

“Of course not.”

We stepped into the elevator and headed to the VIP ward.

Even inside the VIP ward, the gazes didn’t stop.

After taking in their attention, I sighed and knocked on the hospital room door.

“I’m coming in.”

Inside, I saw my mother lying in bed.

Her face froze as she tried to smile at me.

Well, I couldn’t blame her.

“Uh… Who are you? Is this my Hyun’s friend?”

“No! I’m the daughter-in-law! Can I call you mother-in-law from now on? Hehe~! I’m Arisha!!”

Arisha, ever friendly, beamed with joy as she jumped into my mother’s arms.

My mother seemed to smile at Arisha’s cuteness during their first encounter.

“Mother. It’s an honor to meet you. I’m Sowol, the first disciple of Master and your future first wife.”

“Ah, hello. I-I’m Lena, Master’s disciple and uh, official wife…”

“I’ll introduce myself again! I’m Arisha! Master’s lovely true wife! Just think of me as your new daughter~!”

In this chaotic atmosphere where all three claimed to be the official wives, my mother remained calm, simply gazing at me.

Hmm… how should I explain this?

“Well, you see…”

The more my mother listened to my story, the more doubtful her expression became.

But with witnesses right beside us, what could we do?

“Ah, Mother, have you been feeling unwell?”

“Uh-huh. That’s right.”

“I see… Master, can I try to heal her?”

“Huh? How will you do that?”

“I’m a Saint too, you know. I can use basic healing spells. Plus, I brought many sacred items.”

Sowol pulled out some items from her pouch.

Looking closely, they were valuable sacred items recognized even in the church she had shown me earlier.

“Can you really use those?”

“They’re allocated to Saints originally. So, I suppose that would make me the official wife, right?”

“Ugh! I-I can heal with magic too…”

“I can recover her stamina with my energy!”

“…Alright. I’ll leave it to you.”

As Sowol activated the sacred items, a magic circle formed around Lena.

My mother, who had been skeptical of what I said earlier, was taken aback by their abilities while they quickly worked to heal her.

“Now it’s my turn!!”

After sitting my mother up, Arisha placed her hands on her back and began focusing. Moments later, my mother coughed and her eyes widened.

“Goodness! I’ve never felt this light before!”

“Hehe~! I’m happy too! Mother!”

“Master, don’t forget. It was me who healed Mother.”

“I-I did it too…”

All three of them clamored for praise, each claiming to be the best.

After petting their heads, I hugged my mother, who was on the verge of tears from joy.

“Now it’s time to go home.”

…

…

…

It’s been a few weeks since the kids came to Earth.

They have gotten accustomed to life here and naturally blended into my life.

“I’ve got your identification cards.”

I brought in their ID cards that I had entrusted to someone for safekeeping.

As they realized this was their proof of identity in this world, their eyes sparkled.

“This is nice, but I’d prefer something else.”

“Maybe a ring. A ring…”

“I want this!”

When did she manage to get that?

Arisha raised the Marriage Registration Form high with a bright smile.

I patted her head while putting on a wry smile.

“Sadly, Korea practices monogamy.”

Okay, got that? Now start fighting amongst yourselves.

“Then I guess there’s no choice. Since I’m Master’s official wife, I…”

Sowol casually lifted the Marriage Registration Form and handed it to me.

When Lena, who was silently watching, pretended to cough and snapped her fingers.

Flames erupted, burning Sowol’s Marriage Registration Form, and she fumbled, trying to present her own.

“I-I can manage this… as the Master’s wife. So, um, the wedding should be done by me, right?”

“Hahaha~! What are you saying?! I’m the one marrying the Master~!”

With bright smiles, the three gazed at each other.

They retained their powers from the moment they crossed into this world.

If they fought here, it’d be a whole new level of chaos.

“Hehe, you’re all so lively.”

My mother seemed adorably pleased after the treatment and came home.

While sipping coffee and looking at them, she quickly turned her gaze at me.

“What do you plan to do from now on? I like all three of them.”

“Yeah, that’s true.”

While having coffee in front of my mother, I looked at my fiery three lovers.

Perhaps because I was there, they just argued lightly while being affectionate.

Closing my eyes, I enjoyed watching them.

“Master! You like me, right?!”

“I-I trust you, Master…”

“Don’t you wanna see me in my wedding dress? Huh? It’ll be super pretty~!”

As usual, it ended without a conclusion, and the girls clung to me, cutely asking for affection.

Receiving my mother’s gaze watching us with delight, I embraced them all.

“I guess I’ll have to move to the Middle East.”

“The Middle East?”

“That’s a place where polygamy is allowed.”

“Oh! I didn’t know such a great country existed!”

“Let’s go there quickly! Quickly!”

Facing the three lovers who were all staring at me, I chuckled.

Living with them here will surely bring joyful days, but there will also be plenty of mishaps.

Yet I didn’t feel worried at all.

“Well, somehow or another, it’ll work out.”
