Wife

"...what are you doing?" 

As he held Miya on his arm, Isao looked at Maya, who clung to his waist without caring about her appearance.

As the head of the Yotsuba Family, Maya should appear dignified and respectable, yet at this moment, she was like a little girl. 

Frankly, Isao wasn't sure what to do with this woman. There was part of him that wanted to punish him; he knew that if he did that, he would make Miya sad. While the relationship between the two sisters was awkward, they cared for each other after all, and Miya still felt responsible and guilty toward Maya. 

He could kill Maya, but then? 

More importantly, while this woman was an incarnation of madness and insanity, he also understood why she became like that. 

If he had to be honest, could someone stay sane after they encountered Maya's experience? 

Not only was she kidnapped, experimented, and even raped, but she couldn't even have normal happiness as a woman to give birth to children. 

If it wasn't for her hatred toward this world and her wish for revenge, Isao could imagine that Maya would commit suicide as there was no hope for her in this life. 

So, with that, was killing the best revenge for her? 

Or should he turn her into a slave, then rape her repeatedly? 

He couldn't come up with an answer and thought of leaving everything to Miya since Maya was her sister. 

Still, in those instances, whether it was Miya or Maya, they realized that they were in an unfamiliar room, but they could tell that it should be his house on the Asahikawa, yet what attracted them the most was their appearance of a familiar mature woman who appeared on his living room, dressed in the beautiful and elegant kimono, seemingly waiting for his return like a wife. 

'...this guy.' 2x

While Miya had made an assumption before, now, she is clear that this guy loves a mature woman! 

Yet Maya's focus has never been on the problem of Isao having two women by his side. Instead, her focus had always been on Miya and Saeki's skin and appearance. The two of them were much older than her, and she was the youngest among the three women, yet why did the two of them appear much younger than her?!

Maya knew that her thoughts were quite strange, and she should have been thinking about her home, family, etc., but she couldn't care less about all of those things. If her family didn't bring her benefits, protection, and usefulness, then she wouldn't care about them since she didn't feel a meaning in her life except for revenge. 

"You have destroyed my house anyway. Can you let me stay?" Maya asked coquettishly. 

"No." Isao thought for a moment, then shook his head. The feeling of having two mature sisters in his arms might be nice, but he also knew that being eager wasn't the way, considering Maya's past. 

Unlike Miya, Isao wasn't sure how to handle Maya since her wish was so strange. 

'Well, if I want to, I can do it, though.' 

Destroying this world. 

If it was someone else, they wouldn't be able to do it, but if it was him, Isao could do it. 

"Why? You are about to become my brother-in-law, right? Or are you just playing around with Nee-san? Scumbag!" 

"...my relationship with Miya has nothing to do with you." 

"Then, are you going to marry Saeki-san?" Maya looked at Saeki with a thoughtful expression. "I never expected that a Major General of this country would get pregnant by a young man who is much younger than herself." 

"...me too." Saeki also never expected that her fate would be like this, but she didn't mind since she was happy. As for the appearance of the Yotsuba sisters, she was dumbfounded as she didn't expect Isao to have a relationship with Miya and Maya; she felt that it was fine, especially when she thought about their future family. 

In the army, it would be her; then, in the world of magicians, it would be the two sisters. 

As for finance and political aspects, Saeki felt that Isao would do something about those two. 

Yet, Saeki never thought that this was deliberately done, but she could imagine that Isao would create the strongest family in the world. 

Still, while Saeki's focus was on the future, Miya only used her magic to see whether Saeki was with Isao because of a hidden intention or sincerity since she wanted to protect Isao. 

"So, who will you marry?" Maya was seemingly ready to cause trouble for Isao. "Who will you choose as your wife? My Nee-san or General Saeki?" 

Watching Maya, who wanted to cause trouble for Isao, Miya and Saeki rolled their eyes. 

Whether it was Miya or Saeki, they knew well that with their bodies alone, it was impossible to satisfy Isao, and if Isao didn't help them recover, they were afraid that they would be lying on the bed all the time. 

Still, the question of who would marry Isao also comes to a head. 

Even if Isao did nothing, they could imagine that he would attract attention anywhere, and there was no doubt that many women would seduce him. While they believed in him, they knew that there would be many annoying and obnoxious women who didn't know that they had troubled him. 

So—

Miya and Saeki looked at each other and then nodded. 

"Isao-kun, can you marry Maya?" 2x

"What?" 2x

Not only Isao but Maya was also dumbfounded, and subconsciously, the two looked at each other. 

Only, why did you blush, Maya?!

"W-What are you saying, Nee-san?! General Saeki?!" 

Like a tsundere high school girl, Maya looked at Miya and Saeki with blush and fake anger, wondering why the two said all of that. 

"I think that you are the most suitable to marry him." Saeki pushed the frame of her glasses and said those words. With her age, she didn't think that it was suitable for her to marry Isao, and at the same time, she also knew Maya's past, and unlike her, Maya had never married. Moreover, as they would be a family, she felt that there was nothing wrong with Isao marrying Maya. 

"You don't want to marry him, Maya?" 

Yet, Maya's wish was simple, and that was to make Maya happy. 

"I..." 

Maya couldn't say anything and looked at Isao with a complicated yet shy expression. 

Why did she follow him? 

Why did she want to cause him trouble all the time? 

Wasn't it all because she wanted him to pay attention to her? 

Yes, she knew that but then, was she worthy of him? 

If it was before, she might not think of anything, but knowing of his power, she didn't think that she was fit to be with him, especially when one thought about her past. 

Her body was dirty, and she also couldn't get pregnant as she lost her womb. 

With all of that, could she even be his wife? 

As she closed her eyes, she then decided to run away. 

Only Isao felt that everything was too fast since he had never intended to marry anyone, but then, why did he suddenly have to marry Maya? 

Even if he didn't really mind, he felt that it was unfair for Miya and Saeki, but—

"Chase after him, Isao-kun!" 

"Go!" 

"...." 

Why did it suddenly become a romance drama?! 

Yet, Isao had already planned to chase after Maya, so even without hearing their urges, he had made his move and quickly caught up with Maya, who ran as fast as she could outside, but naturally, she couldn't run away from him. 

"Maya, wait!" 

Maya wanted to escape, but she was a woman in her 40s, so how could she escape from the healthy young man filled with vitality? 

"L-Let go of me!" 

When Isao caught her soft and thin waist, she panicked and wanted to get away from him. 

"If I let you go, you will be hurt. I have put barriers in this area, and there are many dangerous beats here." 

"Including you?" 

"....." 

Isao was speechless and then sighed. "I guess you are fine if you can talk like that." Saying those words, he simply held her in his arms. 

Being held like this, Maya knew that she couldn't escape from his arms, but at the same time, subconsciously, she wanted to lean on him. 

"...you want to marry me that much?" 

As she leaned on him, she couldn't help but ask that question as Isao had caught her. 

"You don't want to marry?" 

While Isao didn't care much about marriage, especially when he had married so many times, and he was just lusting after Maya's body, there was a time and occasion of words that could be said and couldn't be said. 

"I..." 

Maya fell in silence and said softly, "You remember what I have said before, right? My body isn't clean anymore. It has been experimented, raped, and many other things that you couldn't imagine. I am also much, much older than you. While you have a long life ahead of you, I will be a grandma soon... More importantly, I can't get pregnant..." 

Unlike her, she knew that Isao was special, and while her status was high, and everyone could only look up to her, she knew that everything that she had built till now was something to hide her inferiority. 

Tears streamed from her eyes subconsciously as she looked at him and asked, "Do you think such a woman is worthy to be your wife?" 

Yet—

Maya widened her eyes when he softly took her lips. 

"Be my wife," Isao said. 

"...." 

Maya felt her chest was tight, seemingly to be in pain, trying to hold something. "D-Did you even listen to what I have heard before?" 

"I heard. I listened. I understand everything." 

"Then, why?!" 

"I am into a mature woman." 

"...idiot." Maya scolded him harshly, then said as she stared at him sternly, "Be serious!" 

"I am serious." Isao nodded and said, "I know everything about you, and because of that, I want you to be my wife. You probably might not believe me... but when I saw you, I fell for you. Still, I understand that you have been in pain, and it is natural that you won't believe me, so I won't force you, but it seems that you have the same feeling toward me." 

"Don't be narcissistic!" Maya blushed, trying to hide her embarrassment by scolding him. 

"So, I won't hesitate." Isao didn't look away and said, "So be my wife, Maya. Let me be part of you and protect you from now on." 

Maya lost her voice and couldn't say a single word. 

There were many things that she was worried about, yet... yet... she also wanted to be his wife, so—

"C-Can I?" 

Isao kissed her once again, and she reacted proactively, clinging to him obsessively. 

"Isao-kun~! Isao-kun~! Isao-kun!" 

So, with that, they decided to get married.

Sorry, I can't just let go of such an exceptional, mature woman...

Also, by the way, have you watched or read "Moriarty the Patriot"?
