Together and Forever

After reading the message addressed to each one of them, the three maids in their respective rooms were all definitely happy because of the message written by their young master.

While they, Caesar's maids, were composing a message addressed to their goshujin-sama, there were three girls gathered in one room discussing what to do next especially the next time they meet Caesar after they read their messages.

"I am quite surprised you told us you were same case as Caesar's, Suzu-chan." said Sophia.

Sophia MacMillan was the eldest of the siblings. Prodigy in archery, magic, and cooking, the blond elf sees her younger siblings and parents as her own family. The elf may appear as affectionate and helpful to her siblings including her adopted younger brother who she was very doting but unknown to some except her mother, the blonde's almost-serious brother complex turned into a huge crush on Caesar after her brother thanked her in helping him in creating a unique magic bullet that only require his magic firearms. She's the first one of the not-blood related siblings to be told by Suzu about the special case including herself leading to their current small secret meeting at Sophia's room.

"So do I, Sophia-nee." said Suzu. "I was surprised you kept your secret so long. We still see you as our sister though."

Suzu was the third eldest. Like the rest of the siblings, she's a prodigy in magic and martial arts. Almost like a tomboy in some ways yet caring towards her family even not related in blood but bond, the brown-haired girl was curious about her younger brother after she secretly saw him using a magical revolver and a magical modified M14 EBR lookalike the other day at the lake. She had no problems with firearms provided the owner passed the requirements but that thing itself was very dangerous to be invented because of what it could do and what harm could harm in wrong hands. Her younger brother was responsible and good in head thankfully. He thanked her for giving him knowledge and books she got from school including some pointers in unarmed. Including Anya, she started to have a crush on him when Caesar half-joked her and Anya about them suited with long-hair.

"Yeah." agreed Anya as she let out a normal reserved smile. "Though about our interest, how will we confront him after he returns from his trip? As far as he told me about his former life, his parents died in an airplane crash when he was 5. He once had a nightmare about that."

Anya's the second eldest of the siblings. Very talented in various areas for her age, Anya heard the story of Freival and the summoned hero who unified various tribes and clan in what would become a Kingdom of Freival in Angevinian history. The lavender-haired elf was the first of Caesar's sisters to be told by himself about his secret. She was surprised to hear it from him. She didn't imagine such world reached such peak without magic causing her to share some his experience whenever she had opportunity to learn some new things that could be of use for herself. Not the almost-serious type of elf girl even when it came to playing house, her sisterly affection towards Caesar turned into crush because of what he said about them suited with long hair that day.

"I heard it straight from his sleep talking when I slept over with him before he told me his secret after telling it to Mom and Dad." confirmed Sophia. "It must have been hard for him to look after his siblings at that age. Caesar deserves a support to know we're here for him."

"May I know what do you mean by support, Cassie?" asked Suzu to Sophia/Cassandra/Cassie.

Their second elder sister, Anya, looked at her fellow elf who apparently have a growing blush per second. Knowing Sophia having a lead to their brother because of Sophia being Sophia before this unexpected gathering, Anya herself could not stop blushing at what she might think.

"We'll be his brides!" boldly declared the blushing blonde elf with fire in her eyes.

Her two sisters blushed brightly.

Oh well, the law allows it.

"ACHOO!"

"Are you alright, Caesar?" asked Yuna who was with me in my room for checking the reminders with my magical firearms replaced by a pair of khukri and sword in place for school.

"Maybe?"

Cara giggled as she started to joke. "Someone must be talking about you, Caesar! They do say in Yamato, "if you sneeze once, somebody must be talking about you." That must be it."

"I hope it's a good girl who is beautiful as Cara and Yuna then." I joked back, scoring two blushes. "Jokes aside, Yuna, we'll be back around 15 minutes."

"O-okay."

"Cara, if you may, please."

Cara nodded as she summons a gate wormhole.

--

After entering, I waved to the old man who waved back in time for Cara to follow me behind.

The lone old man stroked his beard while smiling. "Ah, Manny, sorry, Caesar, it's been so long. I see you had Cara lead you here to my place."

"Indeed, old man." I said to him. "I am here to tell you something."

"Ohoho, what is it?"

"It's about the dream I had...it's related to my past." I told him about the flashback dream that reflected the very same day Sayuri confessing to me in the club room and accepting her two weeks before our school vacation.

The more I tell him, the more I miss Sayuri and the girls including the day we shared our vows. I could have enjoyed my new life and opportunity but that recent dream lately, it made want to see them again because without my girls, part of me would be incomplete.

After I finished telling him that, Cara suddenly hugged me, making me feel her 'assets' hidden behind her hoodie jacket.

'Eh?! Her oppai-sama is around ---'

"Caesar...I didn't know you're such a passionate lover. I'm really envious since I don't have a boyfriend even once."

"Y-yeah.... that's what we came for. I-I'll tell you about them after this." I quickly whispered to Cara while looking at the old man who had a thoughtful look.

The old man put down his tea cup and dogeza as he apologized. "Honestly, she asked me the same question the other day. I would like to apologize for that. I'm very sorry. I should have used my power to listen to you or her feelings or even waking up the almost-lazy Goddess of Love from her so-called beauty nap."

"Okay --- wait, you mean she's reincarnated in our world?"

The old man looked up. "Yes. Also, here's the file you need including your girls. It's in this folder and saved in your magic tablet."

Taking the folder, I took a peak and saw a glimpse picture of beastkin fox girl having a sky blue short-haired around my current age wearing a kimono, holding an iaitō, a blunt-edged practice sword used by iaidō practitioners.

'A fox girl? Who would have thought she'll match my one of my tastes for ideal anime waifu in our current life?' Not having seen the whole information but a small glimpse of present-life picture only, I closed the brown folder. "Thank you very much, old man."

"You're welcome, this is the only way I can do to mend my mistakes by sending them a message now." Showing his transparent tablet in front of me, he begun to type his touchscreen in a godly speed that I could surprisingly follow a blur with one of his fingers hitting the send button. "Now with that sent including your contact, expect a surprise visit, call, or message from them later. They should be able to meet each other soon."

"Once more, thanks a lot, old man."

"Yeah, I have a lot of explaining to do including Arvyn." said the old man who just facepalmed and sighed as he looked at Cara. "And, Cara, good luck."

"!? Yeah, thanks."

Looking at Cara, her face just now was a blushing one.

'So much for my past life of being surrounded and loved by my girls...Cara's cute though.' I thought at the sight of blushing Cara before excusing ourselves while storing the important folder using [Dimensional Storage]. "Thank you for everything, old man. We'll be leaving now. Bye."

--

Arriving together in the same room, I immediately stopped the spell then looked at Cara first who was blushing right in front of Yuna, and Leen who I assumed looked for me while we were gone or Yuna I think.

The brown-haired girl rushes forward from her sit and hugged me. "Caesar, where did you go? Yuna-sensei told me you were learning a new null spell."

Looking at her blue eyes, I felt bad at what I am about to do.

I saw the current her as my best friend and a potential best friend who is a childhood friend heroine as Caesar.

We train and learn every day.

We play together.

We spar together.

I cheered for her.

I gave her tips in swordsmanship and subjects she used to be at.

I even taught her how to dance which she enjoyed and had the most fun.

'Sorry Eileen, I can't let you find out the old man, the gods, and my other self yet. Forgive me for lying.' "Some safer location."

"Oh, why is Cara-sensei's face red then? Is she sick?"

Looking at where Leen's pointing at, I knew what she meant so I put an act to save Cara's face and dignity with Yuna giving me a sign. "Perhaps she needs water, [Recovery] and rest, don't you think Yuna-sensei?"

"Yeah."

"Alright." I said in 'understanding' as I turned my attention to Leen. "Leen, how about we go to Alto Library while our teachers take a rest?"

"I would love to." Said Leen. "But is it not okay to go with our teachers?"

"It's fine. Isn't that right, Yuna-sensei?"

Yuna nodded. "Yeah. Your apprentice-level adventurer license allows entry and 2 companions."

'Thank the world for a nice function.'

"Okay, Yuna-sensei. Caesar, let's go to the library!"

"Yeah, we'll be back. If she arrives here first before our return, please tell her that we're at library."

"Will do, Caesar!"

--

The Alto Library, was a library that had a Victorian Gothic style look in Angevine.

With recognizable landmarks such as [Johnny Enrile's Reading Café – Angevine], [Bragon's Howling Cockatrice and Fresh Hunts], [Mr. Moses Browning's Armaments], [Fashion Shogun Kiryuu Majima], and more because Alto being the biggest capital in this world by area, that is 122,605 km2, the largest one I ever heard and seen in my life, with a walk distance of 35 minutes from Blue Crescent Mansion, the two of us managed to enter the library after I showed the gendarmerie in duty my license when she used a magic stamp to confirm the genuity.

Now inside with one happy Eileen "Leen" Churchill eye smiling while holding my right hand for her not to get lost, I asked her. "Leen, what do you want read?"

"How about a basic spell list used by the Sword Empress?" Leen suggested. "I want to be good and beautiful as her."

"The Sword Mistress as one of your role models?" I commented.

Michaela Sarramond, the Sword Mistress, was one of Emperor Carolus' wives. Being taught by the emperor himself when they were younger after his adopted granduncle, Cain Swordhaven, introduced her to him, her talent in sword shined in one day despite coming from a family of merchants and sellswords based in Freival. Almost equal to The Lightning Empress, The Snow Mistress, and The Frozen Gale, in swordsmanship ranking, it was said she lost once to the Lightning Empress, in a mock battle prepared by the emperor himself when they were younger. She's also admired by various female swordswomen and aspiring ones in the whole Imperial States.

"Yeah." Leen answered with stars present in her eyes.

"We have to ask one of the librarians then. There's one at the help desk."

Heading off to the big one desk like for 45 seconds, I saw a female black-haired cat-eared beastkin teen in red library uniform, reading a book. There's also a brown-haired elf girl who changed the color of her hair through magic (?), an apprentice librarian(?), noticing out our presence as she then suddenly stood up from her station as I noticed tears forming in her green eyes.

'I probably don't know her...but I hope it's what I think.' Since I haven't checked the intel of my girls yet, I am not sure what to do with that elf hurriedly making her way to us.

However, the elf girl's fellow apprentice librarian(?), a familiar black-haired human girl saw me first. She dashed her way with traces of mana leaking out from body in such a way that it's almost like a ---

"Darling!" for what felt literally 12 months we last met, the way this black-haired girl hugged me was way more different than the last time while the other unknown elf girl who manages to catch up, pouted.

"Hana, it's no fair you to hug me Darling first." complained the elf girl in low voice. "We agreed to hug him together."

"Ehehe sorry, Anri." said Hanako, who let me go from her sudden hug. "It just that Caesar is our darling all along.... I even met him first this time."

'This is becoming familiar....and a bad timing to tell Leen about my past life. Hana even called me Darling which is so unlike her.' While I'm watching Hana who I met through my grandfather, talking to the elf, Leen cutely tugs my shirt.

"Caesar...." whispered Leen. "W-who are they and why is she calling you Darling?"

"The girl who hugged me is Hanako Asakura. She's my distant relative through our shared ancestor." Pointing my finger at Hanako who waved at me. "We're really close. Hana and her...I had no idea why they both called me darling."

"I see...." commented Leen in understanding. "I'm also familiar with the story of the summoned hero who gathered various tribes and clans into Freival. Perhaps, you have a similar case, Caesar?"

"Something like that." I replied as I quickly looked at Hanako and the other girl who both nodded, then turning my attention back to Leen. "I will tell you provided you won't tell anyone."

"I promise. Caesar's my very first friend."

I gratefully hugged Leen. "Thank you very much Leen."

"T-that's everything I can do as a sign of our trust. You helped me a lot."

'Very true, Eileen.'

"I see our Darling got another member for his harem while we were gone."

"Indeed Hanako. But again, I fell for Darling being Darling. I won't mind as long as he takes responsibility and marry her."

"Yep."

"Wha?"

Dropping my hug, I took a look at Leen.

She's blushing.

--

Having returned to Blue Crescent Mansion with two new guests, I had them first meet Cara and Yuna who both welcomed them and introduced themselves to Anri, the elf girl who was Katherine "Kathie" Allingham, one of my childhood friends and one of my wives, and Hanako "Hana" Aizawa who was Rie Kasahara, my lovely androgynous girl who became one of my wives.

With questions asked by Cara and Yuna about our love life in our past lives, both of them blushed including Leen who was glancing at me with her focus turning back to Anri or Hana and me.

It wasn't something MA thankfully since we had 'activities' in our former life.

I was embarrassed to think about that though especially the accidental 'lucky' moments.

After dinner, I dragged both Hana and Anri, who had her snow-white hair back to usual brown hair, to my room where we could share a kiss only.

Now us three alone in a room, I fondly looked at Hana and Anri who were both ready to receive a kiss.

I spoke first as I half-joked to them. "You know I never expect I will have my first kiss at the age of 5. Let alone us, lovers, in our younger bodies."

"I agree, Darling." said Anri who proceeded hugging me. "People might even see it a strange."

"Yeah." added Hana. "Let's not go 'beyond' yet."

We blushed.

Recovering first, I said. "I love you both, together and forever."

""Together and forever.""

Reunited at last, they both closes their eyes.
