Anna and Lily looked at each other, their faces flushed. They didn't know how to react. They had come to have a difficult conversation, but before they could even begin, they found themselves speechless. Klaus didn't say a word; he just leaned in and kissed them both. It was unexpected and wild.
"Klaus," Anna managed to say, her expression bashful. Lily wore a similar look, her cheeks still pink.
"I hope this answers your question," Klaus said, smiling softly. "Although we can't get more intimate right now, I want you both to know that I love you." He felt a warmth in his heart as he spoke. "We can be more active when I get this sorted out."
As he said this, he felt a sense of peace, having already taken that step in his heart. But for Anna and Lily, hearing those words made their hearts race, pounding against their chests. They exchanged glances, a mix of surprise and joy dancing in their eyes. The moment felt electric, charged with unspoken feelings.
"Hehe, look at you both, blushing like little tomatoes! Come on, come here," Klaus said playfully. Before they could react, he swooped in, and they all landed on the bed together. He planted a kiss on Anna's lips and then on Lily's before settling them down in his arms—Anna on his right and Lily on his left.
"Thank you," Lily said, lying rigidly in his embrace.
"No need to thank me. I've had my eyes on you both since the moment I first saw you," Klaus replied, gently rubbing her arms.
"Isn't Sister Lucy and Sister Ohema enough for you?" Anna blurted out, instantly regretting her words.
"Says the lady chasing her sister's boyfriend," Klaus shot back, causing Anna to close her eyes in embarrassment, her face burning.
"What about Sister Nia and Sister Asha?" Lily asked, sounding surprisingly calm about the whole situation.
"Hey, can't we just stay in the moment without thinking about others?" Klaus said, not liking where this was heading. He thought it was odd that the ladies were so supportive of each other when it came to a boy they both liked. Shouldn't they be rivals? Yet, all the women around him seemed to be rooting for one another.

"Your mom was right. You really are a player," Lily said with a teasing smile, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
Klaus looked at the usually quiet Lily and couldn't believe his eyes. She now looks lively and playful, and from the look of things, she might become a huge challenge in the future. As they say, don't judge a book by its cover.
"I'm pretty sure he has his eyes on War Goddess Miriam and Aoi too," Anna added, making Klaus pause and slip into deep thought. After a moment, a smile crept across his face.
Neither Anna nor Lily wanted to wake Klaus, so they all fell back asleep, only stirring around six when Hanna came in to inform them that Aoi would be joining them for the outing they had planned after the Trial.
"You work fast, Boss," Hanna teased, turning to Klaus with a playful grin. Just a while back, she became his personal assistant. Now, she is his sister, that is just too cute.
"Big sister, you're making me blush," Klaus joked shamelessly. Just like how he got some pain and frustration from his past self, he also got some comfort when he was around Hanna. Her past self Haniva was his Babysitter after all.
Looking at the grin on Hanna's face, Klaus couldn't help back think back to his past self as Fruity, 'Tsk, that bastard sure had the best people around him' He thought.
Though tragedy had found him sooner than he had expected, Fruity had experienced all that love, and much of it came from Neniva, Hanna's past self.
"You do know that having too many girlfriends requires a lot of work, right?" Hanna said a bashful smile on her lips.
"Don't worry! This brother of yours is more active than you think," Klaus replied with a wink.
"Pervert!" Hanna exclaimed, laughing as she darted out of his room.
Klaus shook his head, chuckling softly. "Tsk, that bastard had it good," he muttered, cursing his past self once more before heading to the bathroom.
His past memories clung to him like an annoying shadow, influencing him in all the wrong ways. The bits he remembered were all about monk stuff—discipline, restraint, all the things he no longer cared for. Now, Klaus is moving in the opposite direction, one that doesn't fit the teachings of monks. He had long abandoned their ways.
After his bath, Klaus dressed up and went to meet the others, who were already waiting for him. He had promised them an outing before they returned to their various cities. Once they were back, it would be all about training... and maybe some other nightly activities on the side.
He still needed to find his uncles, who had disappeared since his return from the dead. His friends would have to go into seclusion, focusing on hunts to level up and sharpen their combat skills. As for him, his schedule for the next four months was packed—training, missions, and even some unfinished business with Nadia. The upcoming Trial was looming, and it was going to be a hectic ride.
To top it all off, Klaus had been banned from entering Union City, but oddly enough, he wasn't too concerned. He figured things would work out in their own way. Right now, his only plan was to enjoy himself with his friends.
Soon after, Aoi arrived, looking as stunning as ever. Klaus grinned, putting on his usual shameless charm as he approached her.
"Beautiful, smart, and deadly with a sword. Damn, what a combo," he teased with a wink.
Anna and Lily rolled their eyes, but deep down, they knew they had fallen for this handsome, shameless pervert long ago and now, they have to live with him forever.
