Chapter 35:
Rukito's Domination: My long awaited plan to reach the top in an Isekai world begins NOW!!!!
Today has been a long day. From winning a war to healing the injured. After taking care of all the civilians who needed help, I had a group of soldiers capture the remaining nobles left. Thanks to Tama and the others she gathered, we managed to feed everyone. Due to my actions, from a population of 100 million, only 100 thousand remain. My actions of merging the realms caused all the destruction. The strong survive while the weak die. In the end, my only regret is not being as strong as I am now, 5 years ago on that day.
After a long day of fighting and healing others, Rukito is now standing in front of the dorm he and Athena were staying in.
Due to the barrier I established, this is the only location still intact. Since it has gotten late, I may as well stay for one final night here. Even though my stay was brief, the time I spent studying and with Athena was enjoyable. I ponder if I hadn't required her, would I have still been drawn to her? Reflecting on it now, regarding all four of them, my initial impression during our first encounter was how notably adorable each one was, while having such distinct personalities.
As Rukito ponders, lost in thought, walking through the door, he notices someone on his bed. He moves the blanket only to be met with Athena looking at him with a smile, saying, "Welcome home, my darling." Rukito stuttered at first, then started to laugh...
"You call me darling, yet you never tell me to my face how you feel."
"What do you mean? Is it not clear from my statement to Father before killing him, as well as my actions?"
"I have no clue what you're talking about; plus, I hear in some places kissing is a form of greeting."
"Rukito... when I first met you, I hated your guts, but unlike others, you saw me eye to eye, not for my status. You helped me with things I never understood . The small things that you did, from making breakfast to helping me understand how to control magic. At first, it was me growing to trust you, but as time passed and as I opened up to you, you're the only one I could speak to. Having mixed thoughts on my feelings, my vision was easily clouded, but now, without any regret after dying, I can say from the bottom of my heart, I love you."
She has so much to say on why she loves me. What a wonderful speech. In my past life , I was lonely, yet here there 's beauty everywhere, and I somehow won some hearts. But with the way she is now, how can I punish her for betraying me ? Well, there was this one anime with a blue-haired girl... Nah, I may be bad, but I'm not that bad.
"I love Em-. No, what I meant to say was yes. I too, with all my heart, love you. But you will need to know that there are three more girls that I also love. Two of them know, and one I still need to find a way to confront. I love you all equally and swear to not love one more than the other."
"Can I kill them?"
"If you kill them, what awaits you will be a fate worse than death."
"That was a joke, hehehe... I would never do anything to make you sad."
Athena may love me, but the way she is now, everyone else is a threat to her. I need to show her I love her, as well as let her know what killing the others would mean. But with me around, I'll make sure none of them feel left out.
Rukito pushes her down before saying, "Get ready to be punished." She was already prepared as she was bare on the bed. While those two are having their fun on the other side, Tama is walking home. After a long day of cooking, they cleaned up everything , washed the dishes, and now, walking back in the middle of the night .
As they reach the main city, a group of people in black approaches them. They tell the girls to come with them. Tama recognizes one of them and creates a wall, telling the others to run. Before she can follow, they surround her. They put a black cloth around her before taking her away. The other servants are still running , only to turn and see no one is there. They don't see their friend Tamako anywhere.
The following day, Rukito wakes up feeling great. After a long night, he takes a shower before he goes to wake Athena up. He throws the blankets off her as she goes into a fetal position, trying to still keep warm without being covered. Rukito thinks maybe cold water would do it but changes his mind and makes breakfast for her.
Sigh... On one hand, there's a sweet girl who brings me breakfast every morning, and on the other, a lazy cute one I'm currently making breakfast for. Man, I miss Tama's cooking. Today, I'll move back to the mansion. Then, I'll enjoy her cooking once again. I've been with two girls now; that leaves Elia to go. It won't be right having fun with the others while keeping her out of the loop like that.
"Athena. Ath-ee-naa ... Hey, Athena! Wake up! It's time for school!"
"Huh! Whaa ... SCHOOL !! Am I late?"
She jumps out of bed only to have weak legs and fall down. Rukito starts laughing and says, "There's no school. But if you don't wake up, shower, and come eat, I'll leave you and go. I've got a nation to run, remember ? I'm a king, not some schoolboy anymore."
"A little help here. My lower body is numb. I can't walk."
Sitting there, helpless on the bare floor with messy hair makes her look so cute. Well, it's partly my fault for going so hard on her the first time. But it was the only punishment I could think of that wouldn't hurt her. Can't blame her for getting tired, as I only get mentally tired, so we went all night.
" Okay, hold still. (Heal) Now try standing up. Here, take my hand."
Athena takes Rukito's hand as she stands up. She says, "It was rough at first, but I had a great night." She seems to have adapted...
We have breakfast after she showers. Then we get dressed before I grab her, and as we fly over to see how the people are holding up , a lot of them recognize me as the elf that healed them, so they wave . We then head over to the prison where I told the soldiers to put the nobles and surviving soldiers . We had them in individual cells.
