Chapter 234 Arcadia Academy[Epilogue]

Back in Zero's Villa

[Zero's POV]

I woke up a few hours later as I put on my jacket first before moving towards the bathroom as I looked back at the fast asleep Clair on the bed.

Before moving towards her, I took the blanket and covered her stark naked body before taking her clothes with me towards the bathroom. I first put the clothes in the washing machine before hopping into shower; I took a bit of a warm, brisk shower as I cleaned myself up.

Then I changed my clothes and went back to the bedroom where Clair was sleeping and Emma, Clair's sister, was standing dumbfounded, observing her sleeping in the way she was.

Emma was currently standing at the bedroom door and I, as I styled my hair, moved towards Emma and spoke,

"Can you move?"

"EEK-" Before she could scream, I blocked her mouth with the palm of my hand and pointed at Clair before making a 'shhh' sound as I put my finger on my lips.

She nodded at me and then I let her go before moving inside the room, picking up my laptop and moving towards Clair. I briskly kissed her on the forehead before moving out of the room into the living room.

Emma kept her eyes focused on me, as she followed me from behind as she carefully closed the door so as to not disturb Clair and then began moving towards me with hurried steps before she inquired,

"What are you trying to do?"

I looked at her, confused at what she meant and not really bothered by my expression she said,"I thought you were going to slowly erase her love for you as you know it better than I do that your world and hers are miles apart. Then why are you doing this to her?"

Hearing her words, I made a slightly odd expression before trying to understand what she was saying… My world and her world are different?... Oh wait! It is… at least in this lifetime it is. Kind of forgot, since I was taking her as my saviour even yet… but does that really matter? I mean, in the end, I am going to make Clair strong as well.

"It's fine… Clair is mine… I don't think it is going to be a problem," I spoke as I looked at Emma and she looked at me with a doubtful gaze before she asked again,

"What about the other girls that are with you? Don't tell me you are going to choose one in the end, leaving the others behind?"

Her gaze was piercing me and I kind of pondered about this right now… It wasn't as if I planned to fall in love with another girl… especially after Lucia but then… I opened up about my feelings with Elle in the white dimension… maybe it was because of the Elle that I knew in my previous life but whatever the case be, I did end up sharing my feelings with Elle.

Then there was Adara… I don't know why, but I kind of just wanted to see her again when I came into this world… All the more because of how happy I felt around her in my previous life. Perhaps because of Lucia, I never realised my feelings but I think I fell for her last time as well…

Then there is Clair… I want to protect her… Especially after what happened in the white dimension… I felt like my heart was ripped into shreds when I saw what happened with her… now I can't help but feel uneasy when I don't check up on her at least once in a while.

Then there was Hygeia as well… I don't know about Lucy.. and Bernette… Eliza… Wait, how many girls did I get entangled with?

I shook my head as I sighed… because… because…

There were 2 more girls… minimum… with whom I was going to be deeply entangled with sooner than I might believe.

"I think I am going to make a harem or something. How does that sound?" I smiled as I daydreamed a little and then.

-Bam!

Emma hit me on the head with a really pissed off expression. I turned to her and spoke out groaning as,"What do you want me to do then? I already have so many of them on me and, given the situation, I can't really let them go away from me."

"You bast*rd… " she was pissed off, but she ended up sighing as she sat on the sofa and let herself sink in the sofa as she spoke,

"Then tell me about yourself. What kind of man you are… if you are going to take my sister in your harem or something… at least tell me who you are? You can do that at least, can't you?"

"I… okay.. I guess I don't mind telling you about my life, but I will use magic so that you can't tell anyone else about it. How does that sound?" I spoke, and she pondered over it before she nodded as,"I kind of don't like how you don't trust me, but sure… at least I will know about the mysterious guy my sister loves."

[3rd Person's POV]

Perhaps things were going smoothly, or were they? There were hundreds of things that needed to be considered before another step was made.

The Parasites were fast approaching, and the ones that were coming weren't mere Scout Parasites or General Parasites but 12 Duke Parasites.

Parasite King was interested in the person who caused a minor deviation in his conquest of taking over the entire universe and it wasn't just him who was curious but another being, another Primordial, Kratos, who found about the whole ordeal through the Parasite King was moving towards Zero.

What was going to be a war against species previously now had the potential to become a war among Gods…

As if things weren't bad enough, another being was moving towards Zero to make sure he suffers for what he had done to her. Zero had no idea who she was, and about her existence… and why exactly this person hates him.

Though… it wasn't all that bad because Zero still had time… though the question of 'Will he be able to do it?' was something to be pondered about… How many will he be able to save and how many will die this time?

Even if things were to go all according to Zero's plan, will it really work when the ones he is fighting against are the strongest beings in the entire universe? Only fate knows the answer to it…
