Haruto had finally reached his limit.

After running away, screaming for help, and getting rejected by society, he had returned to the Adventurer's Guild in a desperate attempt to complain to Claire.

But instead?

Instead, he somehow gained her too.

Now, he was surrounded by six insane women who had no intention of letting him live in peace.

Lilia, the yandere Demon Lord who called him "husband."

Emberis, the battle-hungry Dragon Emperor who claimed him as her "mate."

Princess Emilia, the royal beauty who insisted on making him a noble.

Fel, the thief girl who stole his money but refused to pay rent.

Sylphiel, the Elf Queen who wanted him to become an elf with her.

And now—Claire, the tsundere receptionist who had spent months rejecting him but was now suddenly interested?!

Haruto slumped against the counter, completely defeated.

"I just wanted to be an adventurer…" he muttered weakly.

Claire smirked. "Well, too bad. Still banned."

Haruto let out the longest, most pathetic groan of his life.

The Guild's Reaction to Haruto's Harem Situation

The entire Adventurer's Guild had gone completely silent.

Adventurers, mercenaries, knights—everyone was staring.

Whispers spread across the room.

"Wait… is that Haruto?"

"The guy who disappeared for months?"

"Why is the Demon Lord clinging to him?"

"Why does he have an Elf Queen AND a Dragon Emperor fighting over him?"

"Did he just recruit the tsundere guild receptionist too?!"

Then—

"IS HARUTO ACTUALLY A LEGENDARY WOMANIZER?!"

Haruto snapped back to reality.

"NO, I AM NOT!" he shouted, waving his arms.

"That's exactly what a womanizer would say," someone muttered.

Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.

Haruto felt his soul leave his body.

"I swear, I didn't do anything! They just keep following me!"

"Oh, so he's a natural seducer?"

"THIS IS SLANDER!"

Haruto Officially Loses It (Again)

Haruto grabbed Claire's shoulders, shaking her.

"CLAIRE, I NEED YOU TO FIX THIS."

Claire smirked. "Why would I do that? Watching you suffer is way more fun."

"YOU ARE THE WORST RECEPTIONIST IN HISTORY!"

"And yet you always come back to me~."

Haruto dropped to his knees.

"I HATE EVERYTHING."

"No, you don't."

"YES, I DO."

Lilia wrapped her arms around him from behind. "Shhh, my love. Accept your fate."

Haruto screamed internally.

The Guild Master Steps In

Just as Haruto was about to actually start crying, a heavy BOOM echoed through the room.

The crowd parted instantly as a massive figure approached.

The Guild Master.

A towering man with a scarred face, thick muscles, and an aura of pure intimidation.

"Silence!" his voice boomed. "Enough gossiping! Haruto, explain yourself."

Haruto stared up at the Guild Master like a drowning man seeing a lifeboat.

Finally.

Finally, a reasonable adult.

"Sir, please," Haruto begged. "I just want to live a normal life!"

The Guild Master stared at the six women surrounding him.

Then back at Haruto.

Then—

He nodded wisely.

"I understand."

Haruto let out a sigh of relief.

Finally.

Someone who got it.

Then the Guild Master said—

"You wish to form an adventuring party with your fiancées. Excellent decision!"

Haruto froze.

"Wait. No. That's not what I meant—"

"Haruto!" the Guild Master clapped him on the shoulder. "As expected of a man with such charisma! To think you have gathered the strongest women in the world under your command!"

Haruto screamed internally.

"NO. STOP. THIS IS NOT A PARTY. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE."

"Nonsense!" the Guild Master beamed. "A party with the Demon Lord, a Dragon Emperor, an Elf Queen, a Princess, a Master Thief, and the strongest Guild Receptionist? Legendary!"

"NOOOOOOOO!"

---

And Then It Got Worse

Before Haruto could protest further, the Guild Master snapped his fingers.

A document appeared on the counter.

"Here is your party registration form, Haruto! Fill it out, and your legendary harem—I mean, your party—will be official!"

Haruto grabbed the form.

He stared at it.

Then—

He ripped it in half.

"I. AM. NOT. DOING. THIS."

Lilia pouted. "Oh, but husband, think of the possibilities~."

"NO."

Sylphiel smiled serenely. "A husband must lead his wives into battle."

"I AM NOT YOUR HUSBAND."

"Yet here we are," Emberis smirked.

Haruto dropped to the floor, completely defeated.

Fel leaned over him. "Y'know, boss, at this point, you should just accept it."

"I WILL NEVER ACCEPT THIS."

Claire nudged his head with her boot. "C'mon, Haruto. Look at it this way—you could be the first adventurer in history to register with a full harem."

"I DON'T WANT THAT TITLE!"

"Sounds like cope."

"STOP SAYING THAT."

---

Haruto Officially Breaks (Again)

Haruto climbed onto the counter, grabbed a mug of ale from a random adventurer, and chugged it.

Then he slammed the mug down.

"Alright. Fine. If none of you are going to let me live in peace—"

The guild went dead silent.

Everyone leaned in.

Was he finally accepting his fate?!

Haruto took a deep breath.

Then, with all the force of a man who had lost all hope—

He stood on top of the counter and screamed at the heavens:

"I DECLARE THIS WORLD UNFAIR AND I HATE EVERYTHING!"

BOOOOOOM!

A shockwave of pure despair burst from him, shattering every glass in the Guild.

Silence.

Total silence.

Then—

Claire slow clapped.

"Nice meltdown, Haruto."

Haruto fell off the counter.

He lay on the floor, staring at the ceiling.

"I hate it here."
