217 – Harem Road
“Oh my, are you leaving already?”
Adela asked, widening her eyes.
I was surprised to hear that Isabella and Enya, who had been here for less than 20 minutes, suddenly returned home.
Enya answered with an embarrassed expression.
“Well… Something happened. “I have to go urgently.”
“Hmm… All three?”
Adela narrowed her eyes and looked at Enya, Isabella, and Claire.
The three looked at each other, then nodded slightly.
Adela opened her mouth.
“···Okay. Something urgent has come up, I can’t help it. “Go in.”
The girls who came to see Ed and Lucas and then returned were very suspicious, but Adela decided not to ask any more questions.
Children’s work is children’s work.
She didn’t seem to have any issues to deal with.
“I’m sorry for coming here so suddenly. “I’ll come visit again next time.”
“hehehehe. Okay. “Please feel free to come anytime.”
So Adela sent her surprise guests off with a smile.
I was excited that the table would be noisy for the first time in a long time, but I couldn’t hold back the children leaving in such a hurry.
Adela sighed and spoke to the servant next to her.
“I think I need to simplify the dinner menu a bit. “Just save a place for Lord Fix.”
“Yes, I will do as you command.”
*
Enya, Isabella, and Claire left the Elmar territory and trudged on with blank faces.
It had already been a while since they left the territory, but they were walking down the street with their shoulders slumped, without saying a word to each other.
This is because I could not get over the shock from earlier.
‘Could it be true that Lucas was Ed’s lover?’
The scene they saw a while ago.
It was the sight of Lucas sobbing.
I don’t know why they were crying because they were watching from afar, but in any case, the fact that Lucas ‘shed tears’ was a huge shock to them.
For Lucas, who always showed off and smiled cheerfully, to shed tears like a child is a ridiculous sight that I would never have dared to imagine.
How could that Lucas show tears?
He always lived up to his pride and laughed heartily.
‘What on earth did Ed show? What on earth did you see, that Lucas…’
But the real problem here was when Lucas burst into tears.
Ed displayed a hologram containing an image, and Lucas began to watch the image and he shed tears.
Could it be that the video was the multiverse of Ed and Lucas?
So, a parallel world where two people were lovers.
‘If you think about it that way, everything will be explained. Ed’s eyes looking at Lucas.’
More than anything, Ed’s eyes look vaguely at Lucas.
Deep emotions were melted in those eyes.
Ed’s eyes showed such deep emotions that it was quite suspicious that they were simply friends.
“aaa!! “I don’t believe it!”
At that time, Enya suddenly screamed and let out a rough breath.
He then spoke to Claire and Isabella who were looking at him with sullen expressions.
“Does this make sense? Does this make sense? Until now, Ed has never once shown any sign of liking a man! But not another kid, but Lucas? That Lucas? Nonsense!”
Enya actively denies the Lucas-Ed lover theory, saying that the Ed she knows would never do that.
Claire said with a sigh.
“Then how do you explain what you saw today? Do you think it makes sense for two men, and not just anyone else, but Lucas to cry like that?”
“······.”
“There is definitely something. “There was something between the two…!”
But I couldn’t deny what I saw today.
Lucas is sobbing and Ed comforts him.
After that, they seem to have become very close and are devoted to training.
Enya touched her forehead.
Although Ed was already stressed because there were so many women around him, he really didn’t have the confidence to handle it if Lucas got involved.
In particular, Enya, who grew up in an imperial culture where same-s*x marriage was prohibited, was physiologically unable to accept that fact.
“Let’s watch a little longer, a little longer.”
And this was the same for Isabella.
Although there is already a lot of circumstantial evidence, I decided to trust Ed and wait and see what happens.
Claire said with a sigh.
“Then just one week. Just watch for one more week, and even then, if you have any doubts about Ed and Lucas’ relationship, you have to take real action. “I also don’t want Lucas to be taken away by Ed.”
Claire already felt like Isabella and Enya had developed a special relationship with Ed and that her friend had been taken away.
But even Lucas, whom I had a crush on, could not be taken away.
The man I was in love with was not someone else, but was with the same man. I thought it would be better if he ended up with another woman, but I couldn’t let this happen.
In that way, the vain trio decided to only have a one-week grace period.
***
“It doesn’t make sense…”
A week later.
In the end, the conclusion of the Haunted Trio was ‘Ed and Lucas have a special relationship.’
As a result of observing Ed closely, she stopped by the Elmar estate almost every day and hung out with Lucas.
Certainly, there was nothing that came to them first.
They only hung out for a little while when they approached them first.
Ed never found them first.
“Has your heart… Cooled down? “Now all you can see is Lucas?”
Ed seemed to be completely in love with Lucas.
Don’t you go to his estate every day, or even invite him to your estate and hang out all night long?
So now is the time to act.
No matter how much she loved Ed, she couldn’t respect her taste for such nonsense.
More than anything, if Lucas and Ed really connect, the relationship between the four childhood friends that has existed since they were young will literally fall apart.
No matter what happened, that situation had to be prevented.
“What is it, everyone gathered here?”
At that time, a voice that was so missed and familiar knocked on the back of their ears.
Edgar Fix.
The mastermind behind all this commotion has appeared in this tavern.
“Eh, Ed!?”
“What’s going on here…?”
“···? For some reason. I just heard it. “I’m going to have a drink after a long time.”
Ed said that and pulled out a chair and sat down next to Claire.
Claire narrowed her eyes and said to Ed.
“What about Lucas?”
“···? Lucas? He’s probably sleeping in my office right now. I probably won’t be able to get up for a while. “I used too much stamina.”
“···What?”
The expressions of the trippy trio hardened.
Lucas…
At Ed’s territory…
You’re sleeping…?
I used too much stamina…
From noble mtl dot com
You’re saying you won’t be able to wake up for a while?
-Suooooo…
Isabella’s eyes turned black and denial began to fill up rapidly.
-Purrr…
Enya’s sword trembled with life and vibrated inside its sheath.
Claire was also quietly warming up her mana with a shadow on her face.
“······Guys?”
“Should I kill him…? Should I kill him…? Should I kill him…?”
“You two have already reached that stage…? Under. hahahaha… hahahahaha… hahahaha…”
Ed looked at the three with a puzzled expression.
Even at first glance, all three of them were insane.
What on earth are you thinking that makes you react like that?
In the meantime, Claire glared at Ed and said something meaningful.
“Ed. Are you serious? “Dear Lucas, are you serious?”
“···Seriously?”
But Ed answers with a puzzled expression, as if he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Isabella said with her unfocused eyes.
“We… We already know… You have feelings for Lucas… Because we were lovers… In a past life…”
Isabella floating on her hands, almost restored to all her innocence from her prime.
However, Ed responded with an expression as if that was some kind of bullsh*t.
“···??? Lover? So Lucas and I are lovers?”
“······.”
The trio flinched and looked at each other at the sight of Ed showing strong rejection.
Soon Enya spoke.
“Wouldn’t you have been with Lucas just now…?”
“···Uh. We were together. “Why is that?”
“Well, then… We slept together… I mean, in the same bed… We sweated together… We used up our stamina together… That’s what we did….···”
Enya couldn’t bear to continue her conversation and glossed over the rest of her words with a bright red face.
However, even if her words were blurred, it was easy to figure out what she meant.
Ed’s shoulders trembled with anger.
“Wow!”
She then immediately vomited.
Even though he is not his biological father, he is mistaken for having such a relationship with Lucas, whom he gave birth to through his heart.
I felt nauseous just imagining it.
“What nonsense is that!”
And Ed immediately refuted the trio’s argument with a red-hot face.
Isabella’s denial disappeared in an instant.
“No… It was…? “The two of us play trains…”
“No! “What do you mean by that!!!”
On this day, Ed showed signs of embarrassment for the first time in his life.
Even he, who had the insight to overcome the crisis in any situation, screamed with a bright red face.
“No! Absolutely not! Ouch! What a crazy imagination! Absolutely not!”
“But… Why is Lucas in your office…”
“Because I was helping with training! Lucas is now in the early stages of awakening! “I’m just sticking around because it’s an important time!”
A trippy trio looking at each other with puzzled expressions.
Afterwards, the Vagrant Trio poured out the questions they had had all along to Ed.
And Ed completely refuted the suspicion.
“Then… Why did Lucas cry so much in front of you…? “I couldn’t even imagine Lucas crying in front of someone.”
And finally, I asked about the biggest suspicion that caused them to misunderstand.
Ed answered, scratching the back of his head.
“Ha… I know a little about Lucas’ father. I was just showing you that memory. “To resolve Lucas’ inferiority complex and hatred towards his father.”
The trippy trio looked at Ed with blank faces.
All of this ultimately happened because of their own misunderstanding.
The three faces were hot with shame and regret.
“···Mi, I’m sorry. We apologize for our ridiculous misunderstanding. “You felt bad, right?”
Claire actively supported the theory that Edgar Fix was gay.
Being that kind of Claire, she truly felt sorry for Ed and apologized for her misunderstanding.
Now that she had confirmed that there was no relationship between her crush Lucas and Ed, she was willing and happy to apologize to Ed.
“It’s all good… I was wondering what I should do if Lucas gets involved again…”
And Enya looked relieved, even sniffling.
The stress that had been building up exploded all at once, and I even shed tears.
Isabella said, lowering her head.
“···In fact. There was another reason why I misunderstood you. We hang out with Lucas every day… But we never visit him. “For the past two weeks, I haven’t found anything first.”
Isabella and Enya have been feeling sad lately as they have no contact with Ed at all.
But they couldn’t even voice their complaints.
Because Ed is a very busy person and does big things…
It is a selfish act to imprison him because he does not care about them…
That’s why they endured it even though Ed didn’t look at them.
I thought it was a fate I had no choice but to bear since I liked him so proudly, so I didn’t bother Ed.
But in the meantime, as Edgar hung out with Lucas, feelings of disappointment began to build up.
They have time to hang out with guys like Lucas, so why don’t they come visit?
“···I’m sorry. “I haven’t sorted out my mind yet, so I couldn’t hastily go find someone.”
In response, Ed meekly apologized for neglecting Isabella and Enya.
She added that she couldn’t find it in the first place because her mind wasn’t in order.
Isabella and Enya were curious about him and asked him, and Ed answered.
“No matter which way you go… It will hurt you. Enya, Isabella will be hurt if she visits you. Enya will be hurt if she goes to see Isabella. Above all, I think that their problems have been resolved well. So, Isabella solved the family’s problem, and Enya found the answer to the magic spell… That’s why she paid more attention to Lucas. “I think you all have great potential.”
Enya and Isabella nodded.
I can’t believe Ed had such great intentions.
They felt ashamed of their actions in adding their opinions to the Ed Gay theory without even knowing that.
“I… I don’t care. “I don’t feel hurt when I meet Isabella.”
But then, Enya dropped a bombshell.
She continued her conversation with an expression that seemed to have made a big decision.
“Ed, you just wanted to save Isabella. And in this way, I saved Izzy (the nickname Enya used to call Isabella when she was young) and we became lovers in many lives…”
“······.”
“I… Can accept it. I’m not asking you to give up a precious part of yourself because of my greed. “Because I like everything about you.”
Enya used her drunkenness to convey her true feelings.
Ed and Isabella looked at her with blank faces.
Claire also saw Enya, who lived with her self-righteousness and pride, grow into a considerate woman, and she looked at her from a very different perspective.
However, Enya, who was suddenly burdened by the attention and atmosphere focused on her, unknowingly blurted out the image of her that she had been thinking about.
“3, 3P is also possible!”
“······?”
A strange silence flowing between the net.
Isabella said, ‘Hah?’ And frowned, laughing.
Claire touched her forehead and retracted her thoughts about Enya.
She didn’t grow up to be a considerate woman, she was just a pervert.
From the time she was very young, Enya was a child with a lot of personality.
“Actually, it’s not like I didn’t imagine it at all.”
But then.
Isabella accepted Enya’s self-destructive remarks.
Everyone looked at her with surprised eyes.
Isabella raised the corners of her mouth meaningfully and her face blushed.
“I don’t have desires that are as neat as they seem. “I don’t know if it’s due to the influence of negativity, but… it can be seen as vulgar and dirty.”
“······.”
Isabella throws Enya’s self-destruction spike in surprise, and the conversation continues in a strange way.
Ed’s face turned red like a blush.
She broke into a cold sweat and pinched her thighs.
Isabella and Enya, who witnessed this, had the same thoughts.
‘Ears, cute…!’
Ed’s cold and cool appearance has completely hardened.
Enya grinned and stroked her Ed’s thigh.
She smiled mischievously and spoke to him in a whisper.
“That goes for me too. Ed, if it were you… It would be possible to fall down without any reason.”
Isabella also showed her playful side.
“If I were Ed, I would be ready to ‘serve’ at any time. “If you were the one crushing me, I’d be very excited&”
Isabella and Enya are blowing air from both sides and exuding strange anger.
Ed’s back was drenched in cold sweat.
Isabella and Enya are growing more voluptuous as the years go by, and it’s driving me crazy to see them so close to each other and seducing me.
“You, you guys…! “What are you talking about!”
At that time, Claire gave her a glare with a face that was about to explode.
At the same time, she noticed that people were watching.
Isabella and Enya, conscious of the gaze of those around them, cleared their throats and distanced themselves from Ed.
There was an awkward silence between the four of us.
“Oh, anyway!”
At that time, Enya broke the silence first.
After taking a sip of beer, I looked at Ed and said.
“There’s no need to worry about us getting hurt. So am I, and so is Isabella. I don’t want to put any burden on you. “You can do whatever you want.”
Because Ed is a very talented person in many fields, he inevitably has many relationships.
Enya decided to understand Ed.
Isabella also abandoned Ed in her past dozens of episodes, so she decided to give up her greed for her Ed in this life.
Sharing someone you love with another woman hurts your pride, but Ed, no one else, could accept it.
Because he is too dazzling to have all to himself.
“···Thank you for understanding.”
In this way, Ed pioneered the first world line.
A world line where Isabella and Enya meet at the same time.
The harem life began unintentionally.
