Ethan's life had gone from surreal to downright terrifying.One moment he was in a divine garden being smothered by his entire harem, the next he was teleported back home — with all four of them.
Ayaka immediately claimed the couch, Luna sat on the armrest with a smug smirk, Hana started pacing like an angry cat, and Subject M sprawled lazily across Ethan's lap like she owned him.

Ethan stared at the quest text, then at the four beautiful women glaring (or smirking) at him. "...Oh no."
The Accusations Begin
Ayaka was first to explode. "Explain. Why did you hug everyone at once?! That was supposed to be OUR moment!"
"It wasn't my fault!" Ethan defended himself. "The System made me do it!"
"Lame excuse," Luna teased, leaning forward so her maid skirt barely covered anything. "You secretly loved it."
"I did not—" Ethan froze when Subject M casually dragged her fingers across his chest.
"Liar," she purred. "Your heartbeat says otherwise."
Hana turned bright red. "C-Can you NOT seduce him in front of us?!"
The Pillow War
The tension snapped when Ayaka grabbed a pillow and hurled it at Luna. Luna caught it, smirked, and threw it back — accidentally hitting Ethan square in the face.
"Okay, that's it!" Ethan shouted, grabbing a pillow himself.
Within seconds, the room turned into a full-blown pillow war. Feathers flew everywhere. Luna used agility magic to dodge, Ayaka charged headfirst, Hana tried to stay serious (and failed), and Subject M somehow turned it into a wrestling match with Ethan pinned beneath her at one point.

By the time the chaos settled, Ethan was covered in feathers, Ayaka was panting on the floor, Luna's hair was a mess, Hana was fuming in the corner, and Subject M just looked way too pleased with herself.
The Aftermath
Ayaka suddenly softened, crawling closer and resting her head on Ethan's shoulder."...You still owe me a proper date," she murmured.
Luna smirked. "And me a rematch."
Hana crossed her arms but blushed. "I'm... not forgiving you yet. But maybe I'll let you cook for me tomorrow."
Subject M just whispered something in his ear that made his soul leave his body for a moment.
Ethan flopped backward onto the floor, exhausted. "I can't survive this every night..."
The System chimed:
[Harem Affection +10 each][Next Major Event Unlocked: Goddess Festival – 3 Days Left!]
Ethan groaned. "Three days? I just want ONE day of peace!"
The girls looked at each other. Then, one by one, they started smirking.
Ayaka: "Nope."Luna: "Not happening."Hana: "Don't get comfortable."Subject M: "You're mine tonight."
The lights went out.
Ethan's scream could probably be heard by the neighbors.
