Yue stared at Saeko for a long moment.
"Why should I?"
Her voice sounded neutral, and it was impossible to tell whether she was angry or not.
"Because all of us love Yuu-sama. And it's obvious he cares about all of us too."
Yue frowned slightly.
"Yuu is mine."
"Mm, but Yuu-oppa is also our Aeon. We are connected to him."
"Mm... That doesn't mean you can have him." Yue glanced briefly at Jin-ah and crossed her arms, pressing her small breast together.
Her gaze moved down from Jin-ah's face to her boobs, and she nodded internally.
An ally.
Amidst so many busty rivals, she had finally found an ally.
Rei sighed.
"Look, Yue-san... we understand that you're special to him. And that he proposed to you first. But that doesn't change the fact that we also have feelings."
Yue stared at them blankly.
Then, surprisingly, she smiled. Showing a small, barely visible smile.
"Nn... It's fine."
"Huh? Huhhh?! Seriously?"
Saya's glasses slid down her small nose as she blinked awkwardly, clearly not expecting that answer.
Everyone looked at the little vampire, who assessed them with her crimson eyes before opening her mouth again.
"Mm... I think we all know that Yuu isn't someone who can be measured by normal standards. He's beyond all human comprehension... no, beyond any comprehension. That means Yuu will only keep moving forward and rise higher and higher."
"That's why... and because he helps others because he wants to, many more girls will become interested in him. And it's normal for Saeko, Jin-ah, Saya, Rei, and Shizuka to feel that way about him too, since he's helped them and given them all a new beginnig."
Hearing that, Saya, Jin-ah, and Rei visibly blushed. Shizuka brought her hands to her cheeks with a dreamy expression. Saeko simply smiled as she closed her eyes with a calm look.
"Nn... Yuu's heart is big enough for all of us. But as you might've guessed... Yuu's in a place right now where he wants to feel emotions again."
The girls looked at each other.
The one who understood this the most, and the first to know him to that extent, was naturally Yue.
Saeko, who always followed him with her eyes, was the second to realize that he lacked emotions. The way she looked at him was not just that of someone deeply devoted and obsessive. There was also always sadness in her sharp gaze.
Jin-ah, someone who had a great ability to read people, was the third.
Saya, who was quite intelligent and always looked at him secretly, had also noticed while they were traveling in the other worlds. It wasn't hard to imagine. A person like her, who analyzed everything, would have noticed the inconsistencies in his behavior.
She was his girlfriend, and he was her boyfriend. Naturally, she wanted him to have emotions again. She would never give up on him. She'd make him fall in love with her.
Rei, who had been brought back to life by him, and whose feelings for him had grown deeply, knew it too.
Shizuka, despite usually acting airheaded, was very aware of the situation. People like her, who pretended not to understand things, were often the ones who understood the most.
In short, all of them knew that he couldn't feel many emotions in a certain sense.
They didn't know why, because Yuu had never explained it to them, but they also didn't want to ask too many questions because they were afraid of hurting him.
They were quite considerate of him.
Saeko spoke then.
"Yuu-sama... every time I look at him, there's a deep emptiness in him."
Even though he took care of them, treated them kindly, smiled, teased them... someone who couldn't really see his true self would think he had normal emotions.
But that was quite far from reality.
Because his followers knew that he couldn't really feel anything, yet he knew how he should act according to the situation and pretend to have emotions.
Maybe he didn't realize it, but he was actually easy to read for his followers, who not only had a direct connection to him but also deeply cared for him.
They could feel the emptiness and absence. The space where emotions should be, but there was only... nothing.
Then Yue asked something that completely changed the atmosphere.
"Do you... also want to be his wives?"
"..."
The pink color, like that of sakura petals, quickly spread across the cheeks of Saya, Jin-ah, Rei, and surprisingly even Saeko and Shizuka.
In their minds...
Saya imagined herself in a traditional white dress, nervously adjusting her glasses as she walked down the aisle.
'I can't believe this is happening! I'm going to marry Yuu! Wait... isn't it too soon?'
Jin-ah imagined herself in a traditional Korean dress, the bridal hanbok, smiling shyly as she took Yuu's hand.
'Yuu-oppa... finally...'
Rei imagined herself in a simple but beautiful dress, holding a bouquet of flowers as she looked at Yuu with dark red eyes.
'Yuu-kun is mine...'
Saeko imagined herself in a traditional bridal kimono, her katana discreetly hidden among the folds.
'Yuu-sama... I will protect this happiness with my life.'
Shizuka imagined herself in a dress that barely contained her enormous breasts, smiling happily.
'Kami-sama is going to be my husband! Kyaa~!'
Then Saya snapped out of that fantasy, shaking her head.
"You're strange, Yue."
For wanting to share her husband like that. If it were Saya, she wouldn't allow it. Even now she refused to share him easily.
Rei nodded. She didn't like Saeko, Saya, or the other girls being so close to Yuu. She wanted him all to herself. But Saeko and Rei had agreed that Yuu's followers shouldn't fight in order to maintain a peaceful family.
Yue's lips then curved upward.
"I love Yuu very much... and I know he'll never abandon me. Eventually, he'll love me too... Yuu needs people who love him deeply... Nn... he needs to be surrounded by genuine affection. To help him feel again, and to fill that emptiness inside him..."
The girls listened intently to every calm word that came out of her mouth.
"One person isn't enough... And that's why..."
Yue looked at each of them with an expressionless face.
"I'm willing to share him. Because... I love him enough to put his needs and happiness before my jealousy."
