Chapter 28-Replenishing the Harem

By the time I finished all my chores, it was already morning, so I just went ыto the cafeteria where I met everyone else.

"Brother, where did you go after the fight with Kokabiel?" Louise asked me.

"I've suddenly got some things to do with my books. My editor told me that they wanted to film my books and asked for my permission. But due to paperwork, I had to be delayed. Then I went to the lab because I found a way to refine one of my artifacts, " I said simply as I ate my breakfast.

"By the way, today is parents' day at the academy, so everyone's parents will be coming, " Rias said with a slight annoyance, apparently due to the arrival of her parents.

"That's all right. Hmm, Serafall, were you by any chance planning to come to our academy today?"

"Yes, I was thinking of stopping by today to check on you Sona-chan. By the way, we are with Sazex-kun wanted to talk to you about Kokabiel, so make some time for that, please, " Serafall said, finally getting a little more serious than usual.

"Okay, we can talk after school, I'll be free in time," I said.

After that, we calmly continued our breakfast, sometimes talking about everyday topics. After that, I calmly teleported everyone to the school. Serafall refused to come with us, saying that she had a few things to do before coming to the academy.

At school, we immediately split up into groups and went to our classes. And despite the seemingly joyful atmosphere, many students looked a little lost, but even if they erase the memory of their former friends and relatives, we can't erase people's feelings, so many subconsciously feel that they have lost something important.

And the academy itself looked deserted, even in the presence of the parents of many students. Previously, the hallways were packed with groups of students rushing about their business, but now they were just filled with dolls wandering around in search of missing pieces of the puzzle. Parents did nothing to spoil this picture of universal hypocritical joy. For many students, only one parent showed up, and for some, no one showed up at all. Looking at all thisдуши, sadness and bitterness bursts from the depths of their soul... from the depths of the soul of any reasonable person who has even the rudiments of compassion.

For me, this picture caused only an ocean of indifference and a stingy ironic laugh. Ordinary people are too weak. They cannot protect not only their loved ones, but also their memories of them. So funny. That's why I despise weakness. In our world, being weak is too expensive.

"What are you thinking, Daniel?" "What is it?" asked Sussex, who suddenly came up to me.

"The atmosphere is too depressing," I said calmly.

"I understand that demons are very often sensitive to people's emotions, which is why they can sense this atmosphere. People are upset, although many do not even understand why, a really sad picture, " said Sazeks.

"It's really sad. It is sad because of the weakness of people and their weakness in the face of danger. They have a huge potential, but they just can't use it because of ignorance. It only makes me sad and ... despicable, " I said.

"...an interesting point of view. To some, it may seem true, and someone will only call you insensitive and arrogant. But everyone understands best how to live and what to think, " he said.

"It's true. But enough of the sad stuff. How are you doing? During Kokabiel's attack, we suffered almost no casualties, so this can be considered a confident victory. I'm only worried about the relationship between the three factions that weren't at the top before, " I said calmly, trying to keep up the conversation.

"You're right, it was a victory almost for nothing. You don't have to worry about relationships with other factions. Serafall and I were just about to talk to you about that, too, " he said.

"I think Serafall is here, too, and I can feel her." And it looks like everyone else is right next to her, " I said, heading toward the auditorium. Sussex just followed me.

When we arrived, Serafall was hugging Sona, talking to the others. Also with them was Lord Gremory, who was currently in the role of a caring father.

"Lord Gremory, what a pleasant meeting, greetings! I said calmly.

"Oh, it's young Lord Gaap, nice to meet you." Unfortunately, we haven't been able to see you before. Nice to meet my daughter's fiance! Zeoticus Gremory, the current Lord or Duke of Gremory, said happily as he shook my hand.

"Danielle, I missed you," Serafall shouted, jumping on my neck.

"I only saw you a few hours ago," I said, giving Sera a strange look. She's definitely up to something, and I wonder what it is.

"Oh, Danielle, how could I not miss my beloved fiance? A few hours away from my love makes me feel very sad, " she said dramatically. Everyone else was lifting their jaws from the floor as Serafall made a very unexpected statement. Rias and Sona were especially surprised. Only Sussex was unperturbed, because he knew it from our last conversation.

"Oh, Sera, I was thinking of announcing our engagement to the others later. You ruined such an incredible surprise for your little sister, " I said with equal drama as I joined Serafall Irga.

"I couldn't help it. The power of our love is too great to hide, " Sera said, looking at Sona.

- See, Sonya, I've already found a fiance, and it looks like you'll be an old maid for the rest of your life, " Serafall said smugly, looking at Sonya.

"Sister! Sona shouted as she ran towards the school. the council.

- Wait, Sonya, don't leave me! Sera shouted as she ran after Sona.

"Please leave me alone!" Sona answered her as she sped up.

- Nooo, Serafall shouted again, moving at a certain distance from Sona and deliberately not catching up with her.

- Ahem, Lord Gaap, I think we can congratulate you on another engagement, " Zeoticus said nervously, still impressed by the previous conversation.

"Yes, thank you," I told him.

Then we began to talk quietly about common topics. Lord Gremory had told me about Rias's childhood, and she had been embarrassed and complained about her father. But this idyll was interrupted by a call from Medusa, who informed me about my guests.

"I'm sorry, but I need to leave immediately, for a while," I said, quickly teleporting away from there before being asked to explain the reason for leaving.

Immediately, I found myself in my small mansion, where four girls were already waiting for me.

"My lord! Medusa and Medea immediately stood up at my entrance.

"Daniel! Irina and Xenovia, who were my guests, followed them. And it's good that Irina still decided to come here too.

"Hello, everyone," I said calmly, sitting down between Medea and Medusa.

"Daniel, we want to be your servants and part of your family! Xenovia said with determination as she looked me in the eye. Irina just nodded, giving me the same look.

"I think that by' becoming part of your family', you didn't just mean joining my clan?" I asked.

- yes. Danielle, I ... I love you and I want to be your wife! Xenovia said, stuttering a little about the confession, but then quickly saying it.

"I also... love you!" Irina shouted.

"It was... unexpected. But I will accept you into my family, not only as figures, but also as a full-fledged part of the family, " I said with a sweet smile. I didn't even lie, almost. I liked Xenovia and Irina for a long time, so I wanted to make them my own, completely, heart and soul. But was it love? I doubt. The closest thing I feel to love is my sister, and unexpectedly, the Office. Maybe one day I'll be able to love all my wives, but somehow I doubt it very much.

"Master, can I also be a part of your family, because after you saved me, I developed tender feelings for you," Medea said, embarrassed. Things seem to be getting out of подhand again? All right. I definitely didn't expect this. I knew that one day she would also be part of my harem, but I didn't think that would happen in the coming years.

"Medea, enough formalities. I always asked you to just call me Daniel. And I will certainly accept your feelings. You knew from the very beginning that I'm very greedy and I'm not likely to give someone else what I already consider my own, " I said, putting my arm around the girl's waist.

After all this, I looked at the only girl in this room who wasn't already my fiancee.

"I'm sorry, Daniel, but I need to think about this. I'm sure I have feelings for you, but I need more time to sort them out, " Medusa said calmly, turning serious.

"I'm not rushing you, honey. But you've already heard what I said, so don't expect me to let you go, " I said. I'll have her in my hands sooner or later anyway.

"Well, then, let me make you my pieces first," I said, pulling out the evil pieces.

"We're ready!" the girls shouted.

"Take it easy, we're a family now, so there's no need to worry," I said, walking поcloser to them and opening the evil set. As expected, only the pawns reacted to them. Well, it will also be useful for them.

Hmm, but what if you work on the evil figures with the energy of faith and chaos magic? They must change and become stronger! After that, I did just that. However, I didn't spend a lot of faith energy, as well as chaos energy, but there were strong changes with the figures. Now all my pieces have become even more attached to me and have lost the difference in strength. You can say that now I have 15 queens, instead of the usual set of chess.

- Ahhh! " groaned Medea and Medusa simultaneously.

"I think I've become stronger," Medea said happily, making magic circles over her hands.

"Me too," Medusa said calmly.

- I just strengthened my evil figures, now all my figures will be stronger, - I said, starting to immerse not the figure, but rather a multi-colored ball, in Xenovia.

- Ahhh... Mmmmm, " Xenovia wanted to scream, apparently feeling the pain, but I covered her mouth with a kiss. With the Grail, I quickly began to reduce her pain, but something tells me that my kiss helped her more than the Grail.

- Ahhh, thank you, dear! Xenovia said in a relaxed voice as she collapsed on top of me.

"Now you! I said to a blushing Irina as I carried Xenovia to the couch.

"Mmmmm," the girl immediately kissed me, not waiting for the figure to sink into her chest. But I immediately put it in Irina's chest, using the Grail again. Iona clearly felt less pain than Xenovia, and it looks like she even came during our kiss. Perhaps absorbing Aphrodite's soul had more benefits than I expected.

I carried Irina to the same couch , as Xenovia and laid her there.

"Daniel, I also... well... want to," Medea said, looking at me with a slightly reddened face.

I didn't even say anything, just walked up to her and kissed her. The girl literally melted in my arms, but I only hugged her harder.

"Eh, okay, take a break and let's go to the academy Kuo. I still have some things to do there, " I said to the three girls, who were lying on the couch with their arms around each other, and I sat down calmly next to Medusa.
