"Who is she?"
'Oh, that's the first thing you ask?'
I found it curious that this was her reaction when I told her I would try to bring in a new member, considering that she is the one who always objects.
"Do you see that woman with bronze skin like your mother and red, orange hair?"
The woman I was referring to was in plain sight, so I pointed her out.
"Are you kidding me?!"
"Why? Is there something wrong with her?"
"You told me it would only be... grrr, you know! And obviously, she's not."
"But I did deliver... Cordelia joined, didn't she? And Lys and I are almost dating."
"That's a lie! I asked her recently what she thought of you... she only sees you as a friend."
"Ugh... she's just being shy....and I think she wouldn't dare tell you she's interested in me, I think she's a little afraid of you."
"..."
I guess she, better than anyone, must have noticed that.
"Anyway, I already told you that it's not that I prefer them to be big or anything, huehue~! In fact, yours is... huehue~."
"Stop it, you perverted bastard!"
"Yes, I am, that's why I like them as flat as you, hehe... licking and seeing your cute reactions... argh!. Hey, stop pushing your luck; don't think I won't fight back."
"You're the one talking nonsense! That's not even the point! The point is—who the hell do you want to stick it in? She's a damn nine-foot giant!"
"No, she's only about eight and a half feet tall — that's actually short for a giant. She's half-giant,"
Right now we were in a large open space at the Ivoria Kingdom Academy.
The top twenty from each institution had come. At that moment, under the theme of "challenging someone," several fights had begun.
It was supposed to be a friendly encounter, but thanks to Lily, I realized that it was all provoked by some instructors from our academy, who kept bragging in meetings with other kingdoms about how excellent our generation had turned out to be, pissing off the others and starting this to shut them up.
Unfortunately for them, our teachers aren't bragging, and this won't end the way they want it to.
Unlike the Kingdoms of Avaloria and Puridora, which were dominated by humans, the other three kingdoms had different ruling races: one of elves and dwarves united, another of giants, and another of beastmen.
Of course, there wasn't much fighting between us, as there were beings of various races among them, just as we have beastmen, half-elves, dwarves, and elves.
The giants, on the other hand, due to comfort issues, almost never live in other kingdoms.
Obviously, this never happened in the alternate timeline, but although under different circumstances, I remember there was something similar.
If I wasn't mistaken, it could follow the same course, although I hope that this time Eira doesn't stab anyone. It's something I want to avoid seeing.
But the important thing is that it was an opportunity to have a new member in the harem.
' I like them big, huehue... the possibilities she would bring would be huehueh...'
"Yes, you're definitely thinking something perverted. But what do you plan to do? Yours wouldn't even tickle her; that's why giants don't get involved with other races. If they do, they either kill their partner or just tickle them."
"Hey, love still exists. That can overcome those problems. Why do you think half-giants exist? Although only the mother can be the giant. And who do you think you're talking to!?"
"An uncontrollable fool who goes after other girls when he already has so many."
"I see you're against it... ugh, haaah~ well, although it would be a shame, I can refrain. After all, you and the girls are my priority."
"So, if I say I don't want any more girls, will you stop?"
"/_\ Yes, it's a shame, but I value you above all else. And if doing this makes you unhappy, I'd rather stop."
"..."
"Although it's a shame/_ \, I wanted a big girl in my harem/_ \, there were many things to try. Akihara left me with some scars, and besides the giants... haaah~ /_\ It's a shame..."
Yes, it was a shame, but I was already clear that I wouldn't keep going after other girls if it made the ones who are already with me unhappy. I can do many things, but never something as foolish as that.
I've only continued because no one has objected; rather, for some reason I don't understand, they encourage me, sometimes forcing or coercing me.
'Yes, if I think about it, Eira is the only normal one here. There's definitely something wrong, but I'm not complaining. I've come too far.'
Leaving that aside, I don't mind stopping: I haven't developed any attachment or anything like that yet, and I can easily leave it. It's now or never.
'Although it's a shame.'
'Well, it's our fault for getting so excited without considering Eira.'
'Oh! Number 1, are you paying attention?'
'Yes, well, anyway, who cares? I'll give everything I had to Eira.'
'Yes, that's true, and she can't complain that I shower her with love.'
'After all, she's so cute that I can do it with her indefinitely.'
'And she's one of the most durable ones... and even though I would be the biggest, we can still continue with the size difference theme, hehue.
"What are you thinking!? Because I feel all that lust towards me!"
"Why wouldn't I? You're my cutie. Fine, I won't go for her, as you ask... although it's a shame."
"Grrr! Who asked you anything? Do whatever you want, you always do the same thing. If you can make her join, I don't care!"
"Huh? Really? Why the sudden change of heart?"
"No reason, hmph!. Did I say I was against it? You assumed that yourself, hmph!. Whatever, lately I'm starting to understand Elena and the rest. You're an insatiable bastard... you know, thinking that there was a time when she had to control you all by herself, it must have been difficult. I understand that she has scars and acts this way."
"Hey! What the hell? Elena loves me very much, and I've given them a lot of love, the same with you and the rest."
"I'm not talking about that, you fool. For starters, this isn't something you do every day, and you do it all the time, damn it, and with everyone."
"Of course, it's my duty to keep them satisfied. Who knows if some bastard will come along and try to take advantage of their dissatisfaction or something. Look at Lily, for example."
Yes, in my harem, that opening doesn't exist. No one will take advantage of their dissatisfaction; I always make sure they never experience that feeling.
"Don't use her as an example!"
"Well, I give you love and attention too, don't I?"
"Hmph, you're cloying in that way too. But I'm not complaining; you fulfill your role as a boyfriend well and I have no complaints. Hmph, that's why I'm understanding and allow you to go after whoever you want, just like Elena says: you keep multiplying like a cockroach... and it will probably get worse later. It wouldn't be bad to have some extra help. Besides, it feels weird that I'm the only one against it, hmph. Selene also said that the more, the better. Besides..."
"..."
Well, she seems to be giving me a lot of excuses and dragging it out, but to sum it up, I don't think she minds me adding more members either. Maybe she can't say it directly because she was strongly against it at first.
'But I wonder why...'
'Why do the members of my harem end up like this?'
'It's a mystery, isn't it? I really don't understand what the problem is.'
'Is it even a problem? It's fine as long as it's not because they don't like me anymore.'
'Yes, we always tell him that if that happens, it's better to tell us.'
'Yes, and Eira isn't the type to beat around the bush. She would definitely cut us off if she didn't want to continue.'
'Hmm... maybe women in this world are like that. When they have a lot, do they like to share it?'
'Yes, women are still a mystery, even if we've been living as one for years.'
'But it's a shame. I don't want to lose Eira acting jealous.'
'Well, I don't think she'll stop. I still feel jealous, and in fact, this morning I got all lovey-dovey with Alice or Selene, and she seemed angry.'
'Yes, it's weird. Maybe there's something we're not understanding.'
'Well, the important thing is that she didn't stop me.'
'Later we'll ask the all-knowing and omniscient Lily about her daughters. She must know what's going on.'
I was talking to number one. She was at the back, furthest away from William, who was at the front, not far from me.
Although she came, I don't think she'll fight, as the top 10 started fighting, and Seraphina was further down. That's good, I don't like to draw attention to myself, especially with William watching.
"Oh, is Lys."
In fact, I was now paying attention to the arena, where Lys was fighting an elf, whom I recognized as one of the best in that kingdom. Both are specialized in speed, but not long after they started...
"She won!"
It wasn't more than five seconds. There was a quick exchange and Lys won. She didn't even give it her all.
"It was overwhelming. The ones from the other academies are very weak."
"No, we are very strong! Thanks to me."
"Hmph, how shameless of you to take all the credit. William sometimes gives us those strange stones that make us stronger".
"Yes, but that doesn't compare to a wild night with me, huehue."
"Ugh! Why do you always end up going in that direction!?... Well, you're not lying either, hmph! silly method... Anyway, when it's our turn to choose again, it's Alexander's turn. I wonder who he'll choose."
"Hmm, I don't know, maybe someone from the kingdom of Vestalia. An elf, since he likes them?"
Well, although I'm not sure, since the circumstances are different, it's possible that it will happen. In my memories, he had chosen an elf, and I think it was his destiny, because a kind of rivalry began, and at some point, that elf became his partner.
But it would be many years later, when he gave up on Alice and understood that it was useless, since she loved William.
'Ugh, just thinking about it upsets me. We can't challenge people from the same kingdom!?'
'Yes, you can. Didn't you see the two giants fighting? I think it was a faction fight.'
'Oh, I was distracted talking to Eira... Hmm, but it's not worth it, that would attract attention. Well, later we'll give her some... I mean, intensive training.'
'Yes, it's just training. I'm not being irrational about something that happened in an alternate world."
'Well, back to the elf, she was pretty too. I just hope they start their relationship quickly this time; Alice is starting to get annoyed by his insistence.'
Yes, and my pretty sunshine is not someone capable of doing anything to him, so I will have to intervene if he keeps it up.
'Let's help them get together.'
'Yes, once he finishes his destiny meeting and wins, we'll help him with the best of my skill, skipping the useless rivalry phase!'
'Yes, technically it's like the first spark between them — the beginning of their real story. And that will make Alice happy too.'
..
.
Finally, another round began. Someone from the kingdom of Aquila, the kingdom of dwarves, challenged him, and Mike won, and it was our turn again.
It was Alexander's turn to challenge. He walked to the center of the arena and looked at the other kingdoms.
I was a little worried that he wouldn't choose that elf again, but that wouldn't change my plans.
However, just when I thought he was taking too long to choose, he suddenly turned, looked in our direction, and...
"I challenge you to a duel, Miss Seraphina Silvercrest."
'What the hell did this bastard say?!' (x2)
