Taming my Monster Girl Harem from Scratch

Chapter 363 Engagement to Everyone!

Chapter 363 Engagement to Everyone!

I couldn't help but frown upon hearing the news that Zeshion suddenly brought.

"Isn't the date a little rushed?"

I haven't even explained to the girls yet how I was about to get engaged to a 12-year-old girl. I wonder just how I would break the subject to them... Well, of course, I'm not planning to do things against the law to that girl... Wait, there's no law regarding legal age, was there...?

"... Let's add it later."

I noted this in my little notebook, making sure that there were no loopholes.

"Add what? Anyway, it's the date they decided would be appropriate. The other side's in a rush, too, after all. Let's just accommodate them, Will."

"Hmmm... Wouldn't our positions seem weak if we just went with their arrangements like this?"

After all, it's not us who want to go under their control, but the other way around. If we show weakness and let them boss us around, then that's putting the cart before the horse.

"Well, I'm worried about that too, but we don't have time. Actually, three days is already risky for the Cleaver Kingdom, as if possible, they wanted to gain our support even today."

"... Is their current position really that weak?"

"Extremely so. Demons are still being held back by tamers, but the situation still doesn't look too good..."

The Cleaver Kingdom would definitely be the biggest loser next to ours after Noir's attack. After all, not only have they lost their guardian dragon (partially our fault).

They even got blamed by other countries for the deaths of those who got dragged into Noir's trap, sending us to the Otherside (also due to our presence). The only ones who managed to get out of that place were our party alone, after all.

'Wait... Does this mean I indirectly caused Cleaver Kingdom's downfall?'

Let's not think of it that way, or else I might get guilt-tripped when the time comes.

"Alright, I'll arrange everything for the engagement announcement in three days."

Having no choice, I agreed to their offer. Well, three days should be enough time to prepare, after all. All I need to do is assign the perfect coordinator to do everything from the venue to table arrangements and even food choices.

As usual, after finishing his business with me, Zeshion left promptly. I was hoping he'd stay for a while longer so I could slack off for a while, but unfortunately...

"Sir Will, the matter with the Cleaver Kingdom..."

Minerva, with a complicated look on her face, mustered her courage and asked.

"A-Are you planning on tying the knot with them?"

"..."

As expected, Minerva's smart. She managed to figure out the matter with the Cleaver Kingdom from the few words I and Zeshion exchanged. I smiled wryly, patting her head gently.

"Yes, unfortunately. Though it's just engagement, for now, an excuse to get them under our wing."

"Then... What about Ember? Fatima....? Me?"

Minerva used upturned puppy eyes! It's super effective! Ugh, wait. When did she become this assertive? I thought Minerva's the reserved type, just a little better compared to the taciturn Hekate.

*Tug*

"Huh?"

Feeling a slight pull to my clothes, I turned to look behind me, only to see a teary-eyed Hekate. She must've been listening in on the conversation too. They must be feeling like I'm leaving them since I'm getting engaged to someone else. Their getting anxious is a reasonable thing.

Seeing the two like this, I can't just leave them like that. I scratched my head, thinking of a way to appease them.

"Right!"

An idea popped into my mind immediately.

"Then, during the event three days from now, I'll also announce my engagement to you girls!"

I already have everyone's consent, and they're willing to spend the rest of their lives with me too, not only because of the contract between us but as a man and a woman.

After I confidently declared so, I turned to face the two and found them flabbergasted, their mouths and eyes wide open. For a while, they stared at my face from up close, then turned toward each other, before their expressions softened gradually until they turned into bright smiles.

"Will!"

"Master!"

The two jumped, hugging me tight to show how happy they were to hear what I said. As if unable to contain their excitement, Minerva's face approached mine, planting a kiss on my cheeks.

Hekate did the same, but was a lot bolder, doing it on the lips.

"Ahem!"

Just as the two were getting out of control, a short cough echoed from behind us. When we turned to see who it was, Yu Na was standing at the door with a new pile of documents in her hand.

"You're in your office, President. Please do such acts when you're not in a public place."

"Do what?"

I turned to look at the two, who were hugging me tight, and quickly realized what she meant.

"No, they're just overcome with emotions right now. We're not really planning to do anything."

I quickly denied it, but looking at the doubtful eyes she was sending me, I think she didn't believe a word I said.

"Right, let's say that you aren't planning anything. But those two look like they think otherwise."

"...?"

Again, I stared at the faces of both Minerva and Hekate and noticed that they looked unfocused—no, more like aroused.

"Anyway, I'll just leave these documents here. I'll also put a note to not let anyone enter for an hour. Take your time."

"W-Wait!"

I wanted to stop Yu Na, but the two girls refused to let go of me. In the end, she left the papers on the floor, as she declared, and went out of the office while closing the door.

"Will..."

"Master..."

"..."

In the end, it took me roughly half an hour to calm down the two of them. How did I do it? Well, I'd rather keep my silence.
