Harem Overlord

Chapter 426 Ayaka(Chapter Preview)

"So I guess this is my second last destination before I make the paradise…" Kai muttered as he stood at a place deeply connected with him.

The pendant around his neck seemed to be pulsing strangely for some reason but Kai had expected.

Right in front of him was the entrance to the special realm that had originally belonged to Ayaka and was also the place where Kai had spent time with the first woman he had ever loved.

However, the entire thing had almost been shattered when he and the Darkness had met there in the past, shortly before he had died.

Kai knew that Ayaka had managed to prevent the realm from completely being destroyed by using her powers and also using her dad's help.

Both of them had managed to save the realm together but Kai had no idea about what had been happening inside it.

'Its weird how I can see the realm now yet if I bring someone else here, they will only see empty space.' Kai thought while looking at the spherical realm visible in front of his eyes.

Though the size of the realm in front of Kai was five times smaller, it looked exactly same as what he remembered.

Kai took a deep breath as he felt a bit uneasy about stepping inside. Something seemed to be holding back from immediately entering the realm and meeting Ayaka.

'Get yourself together Kai. You are not some child who is just learning to interact with the world.' Kai then slapped his cheeks before entering the realm.

The pulsing of his pendant seemed to increase the moment he appeared inside the realm. His eyes immediately wandered around his surroundings to see his surroundings.

Kai's eyes immediately widened when he saw the place looking the exact same it had millenniums ago when he and Ayaka had just started their facade of being fake lovers.

Even the house was te exact same as he remembered it to…

Kai slowly walked towards the house with a dazed look on his face. As soon as he reached the door, he moved his hand across it to make sure that it was real.

Once that was confirmed, Kai walked inside the house and felt the fragrance of lavenders directly hit his nose.

"Ayaka…" He muttered while recognizing the fragrance of his first lover.

The moment he had taken her name, a rustling sound echoed around the place. Ayaka suddenly stepped out of the kitchen with a guarded expression.

"Huh…" Ayaka suddenly froze in her place when she saw Kai standing right in front of her.

"Were you… cooking?" Kai asked slowly as his eyes took in Ayaka. She was wearing a plain white shirt with a light blue skirt stretching down to her upper thighs.

She was also wearing an apron while her left had a bit of cream over it.

"Is that chocolate frosting?" Kai asked again as he walked forward and lifted Ayaka's arm. He then licked the cream around her index finger before nodding in appreciation. "It is indeed chocolate."

"What…" Ayaka looked as though she could no longer make sense of what was happening. Her eyes were fixed on the spot Kai held her hand from as she inhaled sharply.

"I am seeing you after centuries and the first thing you asked me was whether I was cooking…" Ayaka muttered while pulling her hand back as she stared into Kai's eyes.

"What did you expect me to start this talk with? A bad joke?" Kai asked back as Ayaka thought about if for a moment before shrugging.

"I guess this start is much better than a bad joke." She replied honestly, her shock from earlier gone completely.

"Its not the best but then, you didn't exactly gave me the best message after you had been resurrected." Kai pointed out as Ayaka snorted.

"I sang you, Kai. That's much better than this."

"Fair point." Kai replied with a grin as Ayaka shook her head.

The only reason the two of them had gone from being shocked to being extremely casual was the fact that Ayaka had made Kai experience the same thing before.

By getting herself killed, she had hurt him as much as he had by disappearing.

"So, what happened?" Ayaka asked while making the apron vanish and walking towards the kitchen.

Kai followed her behind while narrating the entire tale again. Ayaka listened to it carefully while producing her creation, a dark chocolate cake decorated with bare minimum sprinkles.

"Ayaka, why did you bake a cake?" Kai asked once he was done with the story. He looked at the piece of cake below him before looking at Ayaka eating a slice.

"It's because the moment you appeared again, the pendant around your neck told me that you were alive again. From there onwards, it was only a matter of when you would come to meet me and judging from the time, my number was at last."

Kai looked down at the pendant with surprise as he had never expected Ayaka to do such a thing.

"Guess that's one thing you didn't expect." Ayaka said with a grin as Kai rolled his eyes and ate the cake. It was extremely delicious and considering the fact that he hadn't eaten the cake for a long time, it tasted much much better to him.

"I am going to go ahead and build the safe heaven that I talked about." Kai suddenly spoke up as Ayaka raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"I was expecting to hear that soon. When will you be doing it?" She asked while snapping her fingers and sending the dishes away.

"I will do it as soon as I will leave this place with you." He replied while staring into her eyes.

Ayaka didn't say anything and simply stood up. She then started walking towards the upper floor while gesturing for Kai to follow her.

Once they had reached the upper floor, Ayaka led Kai to a closed room.

"Go ahead and open it." She said with an encouraging nod as Kai gave her a weird look. He opened the door regardless and looked inside.

"Did you just remake the exact same room from when we first  made love?…" Kai asked slowly as he stared around the entire room. Every single detail was the exact same as the room he had first made love to Ayaka.

"I didn't remake the room. This room, the house and the entire realm has reverted back to when we first started living here, thanks to me being able to use my powers much freely." Ayaka replied with a smile  before she led Kai in the room.

"Then I guess there is only one thing left to make it exactly same as the past." Kai replied before the two of them hit the bed…
