"...Our connection was nulled."

"What do you mean? That's impossible unless you die!"

Erina knew Kai's connection to Reo, they were quite close and losing him definitely landed a huge blow.

"The Spirit King himself took him away. His position was apparently quite high among the spirits and he recently inherited his title of one of the Seven Deadly Sins, pride. The Spirit King told me that he'll only allow our connection again if I fulfill a certain condition of his. I'm already trying to achieve my goal but I can't say that I'm confident that I'm able to meet him in the near future."

Erina was silent for a moment but decided against talking about it further, it would only open old wounds.

"Then, what about the tumor? While you were being healed, I was there. I didn't see any traces of it, no scars, no marks."

"...I managed to get rid of it because of an extreme coincidence. That coincidence was so dangerous that if I were to experience it again, I have no confidence of surviving. If not for my grandmother who had frozen its very essence with the Eternal Frost, I would have died."

Kai leaned his metal arm on a coffee table beside him.

"Also, what is that?"

Erina pointed at his arm.

"It's made out of the strongest metal in this world. It has no name so I just called it Mineral Alpha. It seems that it was an unknown type of metal, even among the Gods. It has hardness several times more than tungsten and it won't break even under the power of a God. But that hardness was easy to manipulate for me who can manipulate runes and have knowledge in creating weapons thanks to Reo. Anyone who has the same knowledge as me could easily do so as well. I used the knowledge I had from Earth and my understanding of the attributes to forge it."

Kai placed his hand on Amelia's head because she had twitched when he mentioned Earth.

"I told you, I have no plans to go back."

"...Even if Erina who was reincarnated with you is with you now?"

"Like I said, no."

"Even if you can finally fulfill your super sweet promise of meeting in the next life?"

"...That actually makes me embarassed when said out loud. Amelia, I won't leave you even if I die, don't worry. I know I don't tell you much, but I love you as much as you love me."

Amelia was all smiles after Kai's words and she began to hug Kai's arm which led to Erina pouting.

"Erina, let's talk about what happens between the three of us now. You claimed Kai first but I managed to get him, but this isn't Earth where you can only marry one person or so I've heard. Polygamy is very legal on Gaia. Although it may take time for you to get used to it, I have already talked to Kai about it. I will concede the title of first wife to you. I'm fine with just being a concubine or a mistress if you don't want me to become the second wife though."

So you won't concede marrying Kai, huh?

Erina felt frustrated at that but knew she was asking for too much. Kai and Erina's promise was to meet again, not to become lovers. It's just that Kai who concealed everything about reincarnating could talk to someone who understood him and unintentionally fell for her. Erina who was keener than Kai figured out it was him with only a bit of time but she didn't really need to fall for him anymore. His figure had already been engraved into her soul when he first met her.

"You don't have to decide right now. I'm very selfish for wanting two women as my own, I know that. I won't force you to be with me. You can say that you have feelings for me and I reciprocrate them, but if you can't be with me after finding out the truth, then I'll stop myself."

Erina had a solemn look.

"And that prophecy? You don't have to follow it. If you really don't want to be with me anymore, then you don't have to. I'll fight with the prophecy for your sake if I have to."

"No! I want to be with you! I was happy because of the prophecy, you know?!"

Erina jumped from her seat and hugged Kai which had taken him aback.

"I want to be selfish, I want to be your only one. But it's true that I was a step too late. I can only concede the seat of your first lover to her. But at least I can claim your body first!"

"What are you talking about all of a sudden?"

Erina's last words made Kai close his eyes. Where has the cool and silent beauty gone? The light in her eyes had already returned but it was as if she was an entirely different person. The serious atmosphere disappeared as if it was never there.

Can love really change someone so much?

Kai thought that and closed his eyes.

"Hahaha~"

Amelia's laughter drifted into Erina's ear which made her furrow her brows as she looked at Amelia.

"...What is it?"

"Do you really think Kai could control himself for years around me?"

Erina's eyes widened and she looked at Kai with a worried face. He averted his gaze which gave Erina all the answers she needed.

"You cheater!"

"We aren't even dating yet! Or rather, she's also my lover!"

Kai unintentionally made a retort as Erina hugged him even tighter. Although she was strong, Kai couldn't feel any pressure at all.

"...I'll allow it. I'll allow a woman other than me. I don't care as long as I'm with you."

"How can you say those things with a straight face?"

At that moment, Erina sniffed Kai and then looked at Amelia.

"This smell... it's the same smell that was on you during the tournament."

Amelia was surprised as she supported her ample chest. Erina saw that simple movement and separated from Kai.

"...Is it the breasts?"

"What?"

"You couldn't control yourself that night because of her breasts, right?"

"No, I'm not that simple a man. Besides, when it comes to chest size, you wouldn't lose out by much."

"You just admitted that I lost!"

Erina was an E while Amelia was an F, Amelia undoubtedly won in size.

After that, Erina threw a tantrum for a few more minutes before they continued their normal conversation for hours.

"Kai, please don't get more women unless you absolutely can't control yourself, alright?"

Amelia suddenly said while grabbing Kai's arm.

"Don't worry. For the rest of my life, I wouldn't even look at another woman the same way I do to you two. Though it'd be a different matter if I were to lose my memories or something."

The talk on Natsumi and Yoko's side had finished hours before and were now playing with Aya. When Kai and the two emerged, they flocked together.

"Kai, to think you were that amazing."

Arata nodded over and over in approval as he placed a hand on Kai's shoulder.

"You have to teach me those golden flames sometimes!"

Kei placed a hand on Kai's other shoulder and mirrored Arata's movements. It seemed they were more comfortable with 'Kai' as they treated him nearly like 'Kenji'.

"We still have to meet one more person. Let's go."

Kai quickly took everyone away, including Amelia and Aya. Kai didn't want much attention but word instantly spread out onto the streets. That was because Kai had a flower on each side.

(A/N: I forgot the actual expression for 'a flower on each side'. If anyone can tell me the real expression, please do so in the comments so I can edit it.)

Amelia was hugging Kai's left arm while Erina hugged his right. Although Erina said she would concede and share Kai, it looked like she was still quite competitive.

If I knew this would happen, I would've concealed everyone...

Kai shook his head to dispel his thoughts. It was already too late to conceal themselves since they were already out on the street.

They walked along the street even with the whispers from the housewives and drunk men until they finally arrived in front of a mansion.

"Wow."

Umi was the first to react.

Yoko raised her head and pounded her first onto the other hand when she realized whose mansion this was.

"This mansion is owned by the Dragon Slayer, Angel! She's the strongest adventurer among the surrounding kingdoms!"

"There are no adventurers who are S-class so yeah, that's correct."

"Kai, you're acquainted with the Dragon Slayer?!"

Natsumi began to shake Kai even though Erina and Amelia were still clinging onto him.

"What? I haven't introduced you?"

"No!"

"Ah, my bad. Well, we're going to meet her now."

Kai stood at the gate along with everyone and were approached by two guards.

"Halt! What business do you all have here?"

Kai didn't talk and walked forward.

"Stop!"

Erina and Amelia had already let go of him seemingly wondering what he would do. The guards pointed their spears at him and attacked but before they could near, [Soul Aura] unleashed and knocked out the guards in an instant. It looked like a blast of wind spread from Kai's place and knocked them out but it was just his soul's oppressive pressure.

Then, he kicked the gate and it flew all the way to the mansion and broke the door.

Natsumi's mouth was wide open and she immediately grabbed Kai's collar.

"What are you doing to the Dragon Slayer's mansion?!"

It looked like she was quite the fan. Everyone was taken aback with what had just happened but Kai continued to walk inside. Amelia didn't hesitate to follow behind him and seeing that, Erina followed. The others hesitated for a moment before walking in as well. They were with the crown prince and third princess, surely they wouldn't be suspected, right?

"AHHH!"

"GAH!"

"WHO IS THIS GUY?!"

Many screams were resounding as Kai kept sending people flying. Those who got close instantly became unconscious while those who tried to attack him from far away were sent flying.

"Kai, why are you attacking the mansion?

Erina tilted her head. It seemed like she didn't care about what Kai did to the others anymore.

"A certain someone owes me in this mansion, I'm just going to claim it."

Kai had a sadistic smile on his face.  Seeing that, Erina stared at his face for a few moments.

"So cool...!"

Before muttering something incredibly weird. Amelia laughed when she saw Erina's face and reaction and continued walking beside Kai.

"She's going to get a lot of rewards, huh..."

"She? Reward?"

Hearing Amelia's mutter, Erina faced her and began her interrogation. Right now, she was on full defensive on Kai, no women other than her and Amelia could get close.

"Just watch."

Kai had already halfway through the mansion and just as he was about to step into the next room, a giant fireball landed on his place. Everyone was protected but they knew that the power of the fireball was A-class at the least.

"You dare attack my mansion! I commend you for blocking my fireball but I will have you give an explanation or I'll have your head!"

Kai's forehead had veins appearing on them which were visible to everyone.

"Get over here."

"Haa? You arrogant idiot! You think that I'll-

Before the woman could continue her sentence, Kai raised his hand and pulled the woman with telekinesis through the dust that had spread. The woman was floating in front of Kai who was quite irritated.

"Eek!"

The woman let out a shriek which seemed as if she had encountered the scariest thing in the world. This woman was well-known among everyone, Dragon Slayer Angel. She was known as the strongest girl among the youth in the surrounding kingdoms.

"You've grown some guts, haven't you, ANGIE?"

Kai raised his voice when he said Angie.

"M-master!"

"""""Master?"""""

Everyone except Amelia unintentionally repeated her words. Angel saw that and changed her wording.

"I-I mean, nice to see you again Kai!"

"HAAA?!"

"I'M SORRY MASTER!"

Kai dropped Angel and she instantly did a dogeza once she landed.

"Please punish this insolent disciple of yours!"

Angel held out a whip and had quite the perverted look on her face.

"...Looks like that part of you still hasn't changed."

"Now, master! Please punish me! I deserve the reward- I mean, punishment because I have acted rudely! Had I known it was you, I would've greeted you personally had you sent word!"

A single thought passed through everyone's minds.

'It couldn't be...'

"You also ignored my orders, I told you to come to the rescue during the operation, didn't I?"

"Y-yes! P-please punish me harder since that's the case!"

Angel was shaking but not out of fear, it was something else.

'Ah, she's a pervert.'

That was the thought that went through everyone who had seen her look. She had blue hair but had a very dignified face, she could be called second only to Amelia and Erina. But her personality instantly made everyone's opinion of her go down.

"Shut up. I'll send you flying."

"By all means!"

Kai sighed and shook his head.

"Whatever, you have to do something for me. Prepare your gear and it's about lunch time so get some food ready, we'll talk there."
