The plant girl, whom I recognized, had her hood off. We were alone in her room, talking. Her negative mood was removed once I told her I rembered her.
"How have you been?"
Claire had made a lot of space for , carrying all her equipnt to the side. I had told her I would assist, but she told to stay here and sit.
"? Not much; I'd only destroyed a world, joined a war, and won."
"..."
Yeah, I was bragging. It was nice to tease soone who was an excellent target for it. Claire stared at and said sothing outrageous.
"That wasn't much???"
Claire did look like the gullible type, but I think she believed . Looking at her, she seed too happy for to be here.
"What about you? I haven't seen you in a while."
"While mine may not be as great as yours, I learned a lot."
Hearing Claire speak, I could see her shine. She was ecstatic when I asked how she was doing. I couldn't help but look away and see how bright she was.
"I learned a lot from this place. My teacher had taught the art of poison."
Claire went on a large tangent and had almost asleep. I felt terrible for stopping her, but at this rate, I might upset her for falling asleep.
"That's great. How about we get sothing to eat? I'm sure you would get tired from all the talking."
"Don't worry! Sothing like this won't tire out."
"..."
Shit! I have to think of a way to make her stop talking. Luckily, I could use many excuses to get her to stop talking.
"Really? Doesn't it get cramped here? Going outside for a walk doesn't hurt, does it?"
"Your right. Having a walk does seem nice."
Guiding her out of the topic, I had successfully gained her interest in getting out. While I wasn't clear on her returning to what she was saying, I could change it completely.
"Everyone. I will be going out with Charles for a bit."
After informing everyone in this room, Claire and I went out. I was surprised that no one tried to stop her from leaving.
"Are you still part of the IUC? The war might have affected your world if you were part of it."
The last ti I saw Claire, she was at the party hosted by the IUC. Her world would have participated in the war if that was the case. When I saw her team fight, she should be from the second or third-ranked world.
Claire froze once I started to ntion this. Did she not have any contact outside of this hub? It must have slipped out of her mind.
"Do you want to check on your family?"
Claire nodded and went to the nearest communication device in a hurry. I had to pay the fee since she had forgotten to do so. The price wasn't much, so I will let it be for now.
"Mom???"
"It's been a while, Claire. What's got you so worried?"
I knew what the conversation would be like, so I left Claire to her own devices. Claire had taken at least thirty minutes to talk before she ca off the call. Looking at her, she was relieved by sothing.
"Is your place doing ok?"
There was no way I would ask this if her mood was down. Claire didn't seem bothered and proceeded to speak.
"Luckily, our world wasn't a battlefield, so all my friends back ho are safe."
"Charles! Please marry !"
"..."
This was a sudden proposal. How did Claire's conversation with her mother evolve into a marriage proposal? While Reina was my fiancée, she never boldly asked to marry her. Claire's proposal was a serious one, and I don't know her reason for it.
"Could I ask why?"
"I want you. That's all. Besides, you embarrassed in front of everyone. Don't you think you should take my sha away?"
For such a simple reason, she wanted to marry ? Looking at her, I felt Claire's eagerness. But isn't she in too much of a hurry for marriage?
"Yeah, about the marriage. I have five won already, and none of them are in marital status. How about we slow it down?"
Before Claire got too ahead of herself, I laid out what I needed to tell her. Claire didn't look surprised by what I said. I could say her body was her type. Other than that, I don't know much about her.
"I already knew you had the cat as your lover, but I didn't expect you to have so much. That won't stop !"
Her passion overwheld , and she was too pushy on this topic. Marriage was too much for , so I made an alternative suggestion.
"How about it? Let's do a test run. If you don't like sharing with the others, you can leave. If you want a piece of , go for it."
Claire said nothing as she looked at . A wave of people watched this drama, and we were still in public.
Before the crowd could intervene, I had their vision blocked, making us invisible to our eyes. Now that we had disappeared in their eyes, they had moved away.
"So what's your answer? Do you still want to marry ?"
Even if she explained her reason, I doubt she would need specifically. There were other people happy to have one lover in their life.
"Why would I say no? It's too early to give up."
Claire's eagerness was a big part of her personality. While she was similar to Courtney in so ways, she was more on the positive end of the spectrum.
"I was about to leave this place sooner or later. Charles, it will be a pleasure to stay with you."
Without deciding anything, Claire would live with . Being overly affectionate, Claire took hold of my arm, and we went around the hub.
"So, how are the other girls you are with?"
"The others?"
Since Claire had decided to co with , it was better for her to ask this now. When I think of the girls, I can easily tell Claire how they are.
"Then let tell you about the cat girl who harassed you."
Claire's face twisted when I ntioned Nene. She must have rembered the monts that had happened to her.
"Her na is Nene, and she likes to prey on people that are easy to tease. She is extrely sporadic and would do random things at tis."
"Then we have Reina—a girl with white hair and soone who is moody. She may co off as hard to approach, but don't let that stop you."
"Next, we have Rose. Like Nene, she is one of my maids. Out of everyone in the group, she is the most normal person. While she is the most normal person, she is also the most ambitious out of the rest."
"Most normal, yet most ambitious?"
That context didn't fit right, but that is how odd the girls in my harem are. Even if they were weird, they'd still be my weirdos.
"Yep. After Rose, we have Courtney. Courtney is similar to you in so ways but also different. I won't spoil it for you, but she is the least hostile if you were to et."
"Finally, we have Constance, and she is a nun."
"Is that all you're going to say about her? I sort of feel back if you do."
"Well, I slept with her the most. I have decided to let you know about them yourself."
I have given her so ideas of what the girls were like, but that is all she will get.
"It looks like eting everyone will be a new surprise. Should I buy them sothing?"
"Do what you want."
"Then I will get them sothing from my storage room."
Our walk was nice, if you didn't count the crowd. We returned to the base, where Claire had an announcent to make to her n.
"Everyone! I have decided it is about ti I leave."
"Boss. We knew you would leave sooner or later. But we thank you for your help!"
"Thank you, boss!!!"
"THANK YOU, BOSS!!!"
Looking at everyone, I could see that they had expected this to happen. Everyone here thanked Claire for her work, and she was brought to tears, moved by everyone here.
"You guys..."
"Let's have a goodbye party!"
"YEAH!!!"
Before I could get dragged to the party, I left Claire alone with her n. Interfering with their party was weird, considering I was taking her away. Claire knew my intentions and left alone for the whole night. They got wild as I went to my captured n.
I frowned at the sight I had witnessed as I looked at my captured n. No one here was reflecting as they were playing around. My concern about them had vanished instantly, and I decided to leave them here, taking away their immortality.
"You ready to leave?"
At the peak of midnight, Claire was alone in her room, finding the ti to ask. She had everything packed up and nodded.
"I'm ready."
"Aren't you saying your goodbyes?"
"I already did."
With Claire's decision, Claire went to the nearest shuttle and traveled to Earth. I wonder how the girls will react to Claire's presence.
