Combat Maid Harem

Aleshia held her chin as she arranged her thoughts. She looked in the direction where Reavire had left and spoke.

"When she chatted with us, she never mentioned about any friends or family. I'm sure Master knows this more clearly since you said you have false memories with her."

A heavy atmosphere enveloped the spacious cavern. The bonfire seemed to dim as if affected by sadness.

Lawrend glanced at his other maids, and they nodded their heads in agreement.

He recalled the false memories he gained. About 2.3 billion years had passed since she was born. Her family and friends had long died, and she became lonely early on.

There was only one person in those memories who kept up with her. He experienced many ups and downs with her, but he ultimately never left her side.

This person was Lawrend—the Lawrend created by his Maid Energy when it infiltrated her soul with the help of the soul contract. It was him and also not him at the same time.

'He is an illusion…'

Lawrend closed his eyes as he gained more enlightenment. He knew what he needed to do when he opened his eyes again.

"Master?" Aleshia called out.

"Huh? How long did I have my eyes closed?"

"About a minute. Are you okay?"

"It's fine. I just thought about something." Lawrend smiled.

"Okay."

Aleshia cutely tilted her head and looked at the others who had the same question mark over their heads.

Lawrend turned to his next maid, Humility.

"Did you say she was calculative?"

"Hehe, yes."

"It's normal. Even I instinctively start calculating because the capacity of my soul to think is greater than before. Once I become a God, I might be overthinking every second, hahaha."

Lawrend wryly smiled at the thought. He didn't like the idea of overthinking things, but it was part of being a God. As a Sub-God, he was already starting to get used to it.

"Sheesh, Master. Do you think we can also become Goddesses?" Aleshia asked, her eyes sparkling with desire.

They had sensed the power emanating from the Goddess. It was well hidden, but their instincts detected it. The fear came directly from their souls, as if their souls feared death, even though souls reincarnate in the world and universe.

"I don't doubt it," Lawrend responded with a slight smile.

As a Sub-God, he knew what kind of challenges faced them. He feared that none of them would be able to overcome them.

"You're lying, Master," Ella revealed.

"Y-You can tell that, huh?"

"Hmph. We're not idiots, Master," Ember added.

"You got me…" Lawrend scratched the back of his head. "To become a Sub-God, I had to understand myself first and let go of my obsession with mana. It's not easy."

The deceased Divine Mage West tried to become a Sub-God with the help of the natural laws of the Spirit World, yet he still failed. He was proof of the difficulty. Lawrend was an isolated case in comparison.

"We will do it, Nyaster. Wouldn't it be cool if you have a maid harem of goddesses?" Amene said as her tail wagged behind her like a dog.

"A Goddess Maid Harem, huh…?"

Lawrend thought about it for a good few minutes.

"When that time comes, it will be our turn to protect Master," Humility added.

"So a Combat Maid Harem?" Ember asked, tilting her head in thought.

"Hahahaha, yes."

Laughter spread within the cave, reflecting the joyous atmosphere of the group.

…

Meanwhile, outside of the cave in Lawrend's World, the Goddess Reavire sat beside a small stream of water. It came from a spring above the mountains and was undoubtedly fresh and pure.

"A new world… Is it possible with I?" Reavire murmured. Her lovely voice sped up the growth of the nearby foliage.

As she looked at her surroundings, she could feel the purity of Lawrend's world. It had no anger, hate, disgust, unfairness, and all the other vices of humans. Only a newly created world could be such a paradise.

"Hahh…" Reavire sighed and stretched her legs. "I feel so happy. I'm free and I have a partner, at last… Huh?"

Without her realizing it, teardrops slid down her cheeks and hit the ground. Greenery immediately sprouted due to her divine nature.

Reavire knew her real past, albeit it was blurry. When her memories were altered, her happiness couldn't be expressed with words.

She had been protecting the Human World for far too long. She was tired, and it was the cause of her deteriorating Will. If the Creator didn't bring Lawrend to the Human World, she would have died sooner or later without realizing it.

Lawrend changed her memory, which gave her hope and desire to keep looking forward to the future. It might've been why she accepted the soul contract in the first place.

Reavire knew that it must be the reason. After all, she was still the same Goddess even if significant parts of her memory were altered.

As an immortal being, happiness would have long lost its meaning to her. However, her memories now were filled with joy as Lawrend accompanied her across her journey in life. Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire

"Does he understand that I have fallen for him…?" Reavire asked the leaf she casually picked up.

The leaf gave off a weak green light as if responding to her.

"O-Oh…" Reavire stared at the leaf and turned her head into the distance, where a towering tree reached the heavens. It was so far, yet it still encompassed a large part of the horizon.

"Who are you talking to?" a voice asked.

Reavire turned to see Lawrend flying towards her. He had a smile on his face, and it was pretty apparent it was because of his other maids.

"Had fun with your other women?" Reavire asked, sounding upset and jealous.

"Why wouldn't I? They're just like you—my woman."

A sleazy smile formed on his face as he landed in front of her.

Reavire's acting vanished, and a blush quickly replaced her facial expression. He was even more domineering and confident than in her memories.
