"Seriously?"
While Fuji gave such an answer, Nifuji was the one stunned, as it felt that everything was so easy.
"Yes."
However, Fuji's answer remained the same.
"Are you serious?"
"I am." Fuji nodded. "It just means that you have a harem, right?"
"...." Nifuji.
"I can accept that."
"...."
How could she accept it?
Couldn't you be more logical?
If a man were cheated by his woman, or rather, if Nifuji were in Fuji's place, he would cut off his relationship with the woman, who had treated him the way he did to Fuji, yet instead of doing that, Fuji accepted it, which made him at a loss for a moment.
"Just give up."
"Yup, just take care of us."
Eli and Mayuri added as they leaned on him, watching him while laughing.
"...is this something that you two should laugh about? Shouldn't you condemn me like a criminal or something for hurting your heart?"
Nifuji felt like all of his overthinking felt so useless, as it felt like a waste of time for him to think so.
If they were so easy, why would he think so hard, right?
"Then, isn't that more the reason for us not to get angry at you?" Fuji said softly.
Nifuji looked at Fuji with doubt, as if asking for confirmation of her meaning.
"You have tried to think of a solution for all of us. Yes, you have made wrong things, as you had made a move on all of us, but even so, you tried to fix it, trying to think of ways, where you can make everyone happy, and isn't sad, thinking of the methods constantly, even though you know that it is impossible."
"It is impossible, yet it happens; you all accept it."
"That's right." Fuji nodded. "It should be impossible, but because we love you, it is possible, so don't betray that love and show us that our love for you isn't a mistake."
Was it easy for them to accept everything?
Of course not.
It was so fucking, damn hard!
After all, how could they accept their loved one to be divided like that, yet they also knew that while Nifuji might be okay without them, as he would simply move on to another, they couldn't do the same.
Their hearts, bodies, and everything had already been owned by him, and while it might seem stupid to everyone else, for them, who loved him, it was normal, and they were happy with it, since when everything was cleared up, it meant that Nifuji wouldn't leave them.
Nifuji's worry came from how they weren't able to accept his relationship with other women, and when they couldn't, they would part ways, but now, they accepted everything about him, and his relationship with others, so it meant that they wouldn't leave him, right?
It was that simple, yet this simple thought never crossed his mind.
What didn't cross his mind?
It was the thought that counted, how much Nifuji meant to them.
He thought that he didn't mean that much in their hearts, and sometimes, he felt that they were a little troublesome, as they needed constant care from him when he just wanted to go to work.
Yes, working.
Nifuji felt like his entire life was meant to work, to become better, and to do something that would give him the most benefits, yet he knew that their constant naggings were their care for him since if they didn't do so, his life would be that gray life where he had to be in his office all the time, and managed various things from his desk or met his partners.
If he didn't meet them, he knew well that this was what he would do, especially when he didn't have the system.
Some people might say that it was a lonely way of life, as he ignored everything by his side, but he knew well how risky it was to date, and it was just troublesome when working was predictable.
When one worked, they would get paid, and there was a chance for one to rise into a higher position, but when one dated, no matter how one was wealthy, poor, handsome, or ugly one was, unless one had experience or the other had the same feelings, then it would be a nightmare of constant troublesome feelings that haunted them.
The thought of having rejected, wasted their time, money, and everything after so much they invested, or when they were just being played around, was just so risky, dangerous, and frightening.
After all, unlike the body, which was clear when it was healed, but the heart, if it was hurt, we couldn't see when it was healed.
Or rather, how could one even see that it was healed to begin with?
What if we just pretended not to see how hurt we were, and just blindly believed that we were okay?
Yet, Nifuji knew that he wasn't the only one who felt this way, as the women, who had trusted him, loved him, and gave their bodies to him, also felt the same way.
In this world where Nifuji's presence was already their daily, the thought of losing him frightened them, as it meant that they wouldn't be able to be by their side.
Yes, he might be a little unable to control his lower body, as he would somehow make one woman after another, yet at the same time, they felt like... Nifuji was quite choosy, and the one he had dated was the kind of woman that they could accept, instead of a slut, who believed that they could monopolize him.
Nifuji's heart was cold, since even if he parted away from everyone, he was okay, but this was also the reason why they were sure that he wouldn't leave for someone else, since it meant that he would return to them instead, as they were the ones who could give them the predictability, the constant, and also acceptance.
The others were variable, and Nifuji needed to think about whether they could accept his relationship, but they?
They accepted it, as they loved him; that's it.
As for the other things, let's think of that later, as they knew well that they could be happy as long as they were with him, and that was enough for them.
They didn't ask anything else, as they knew how busy he was with his work, and because of that, Nifuji was at a loss and then hugged them.
"Thank you."
