A Cliché Multiverse Story

It seems people are still confused over his Avatar and Multithread Processing Skill. It doesn't create a separate personality. Saya's just a different case. I hope that clears the misunderstanding.

Another day started with Rini somehow sleeping on my chest and Grayfia's breath tickling my ears. I couldn't help but glance at her boobs spilling out of her loosely strapped nightdress. Her defenseless sleeping face and her usually stoic face drew a deep contrast in my heart. Holding back the heat surging through my nostrils, I closed my eyes.

Looks like Klyscha's efforts to drag my libido to the bottom failed. As if noticing my burning desires, Grayfia's eyelids slid back. Looking at my face, she blinked confusedly.

"My… Lord—!"

She rebounded with eyes wide in horror, only to fall off the bed. I sat there, speechless at my clumsy maid.

Rini pushed herself off me and stretched, shedding light on her shallow abs.

"Onii-san!" she smiled and buried her face in my neck.

She sure liked to test my patience.

(My love, you can sleep more. You deserve a nap after working so hard.)

I let out a sigh. She wasn't talking about our lovemaking but the time I spent creating the scene for Saya and Rini's birthday party.

My plan to melt tsundere with my love is gonna be a hit.

(She is already melted though. Her affection is increasing without your presence…)

'How's my yandere darling doing?'

(She is… training the little girls there.)

'Wait, what?!'

(She found the girls sparring in the dojo and corrected their stance.)

'Then the girls requested Aimi to be their mentor.'

With no undead or monsters around, Aimi is trying to do everything she can to fit in. I so wanted to stalk her growth from the shadows.

(That, my love. I have something that can let you be in both places at the same time.)

'Cloning?'

(No… it's more complicated. It's creating a flesh and blood avatar of yourself.)

It piqued my interest. Cloning didn't sit well with me, cause it will be my copy having fun with my women. That was unacceptable even if he was a part of me.

(Jealous hubby is also cute.)

'I can't control two bodies as I am right now.'

(I know that. It requires Eromancer Class… one of your skills allows you to copy your partner's skill.)

My partner's skill…?! The realization slapped my cheeks.

'Saya's skill?'

(Yes. Her skill can help you control two bodies without straining your mind.)

'How much will it cost though?'

(That's the hard part… With your High Human bloodline and level 24 physique, it's gonna cost around one million.)

'So they won't level up at the same time?'

(The new body will be an exact replica of you and it'll grow together with you. The reason for its high price.)

I nodded at her explanation. Spending time on both sides would make everyone happy. This way I could stay here and inside the dungeon as well. Lewd someone while slaughtering the monsters. Healing myself with some thighs if I got tired.

The possibilities were endless!

'I'm buying it!'

(You need 1,75,634 more Karma Points.)

Pretty easy if I wiped out ten more floors. The stronger the monster, the higher the threat it brings to the world, consequently giving more karma for killing them.

I pulled Nao before she got off the bed and kissed her cheeks. "A short nap."

"Mhmm."

—x—x—x—

Around the afternoon, I headed out to the dungeon with the girls. Apollo's invitation was for tomorrow. Joining a Familia smaller than Apollo's will only point to their destruction. I'll just go there and decline politely. If he decides to use force, it'll give me an excuse to wipe out his Familia.

'Can Freya see my soul?'

(No, I am protecting my love's soul all the time!)

'Good wife.'

(Umm.)

She was the biggest reason I hated to stand out now. The sick goddess will chase me and my women everywhere. Her trials were shit but they made Bell into a hero in the eyes of Orario. But I wanted no part of that shit. If Apollo's problem escalated and reached Freya's ears, Orario might lose its strongest Familias.

"Marikawa-chan~!"

This voice... I paid for losing myself on a bustling street.

A feminine scent drifted near as someone covered my eyes.

"You can't hide from Onee-san now~."

"Alise."

"Correct, Asahi Marikawa. It's me, Alise Lovell, the single woman beyond the realm of perfection."

I took off her hand and turned around. Her smug smile as she held a bag of groceries made me smile wryly. She was shopping out here alone without her guild members.

"Seriously, where have you been? I haven't seen you for two days," Alise inquired. "She's the maid spotted with the pink-haired girl. I knew it. Those girls were connected to you!"

"Why would you think that?"

"Beside Kaguya, only you have the bearing of a Far East noble in this city. Another girl from the Far East with a maid, you were the first suspect for me," she finished with a smirk. "Am I too smart for my own sake?"

This narcissist and everyone marked my back with the Far East noble title.

"You guessed right. The pink-haired girl Saya is my wife."

"Eh?!" her mouth went round in surprise. "Wife? You have two wives? Are these maids also your wife?"

Grayfia tensed up. Rini merely tilted her head, muttering 'Wife' to herself.

"They aren't."

Not yet.

"So why are you here?" she asked. "Going to the dungeon?"

"Yeah."

"Why haven't you joined a Familia yet?" she narrowed her eyes. "You know you can't go far without Falna."

Gaining Falna was the basic requirement for raising the status and leveling up in this world.

'Falna will work on me?'

(It should. But gaining Excelia is different. The harder you fight near exhaustion, the more Excelia you will gain.)

It's something I'll know in the near future.

I shook my head at Alise waiting patiently for my answer. "I know that much. But Apollo has set his sight on me."

"Apollo…?" An unfamiliar shocked voice came from the side. I turned to find a beauty with long walnut-brown hair flowing behind her back. Her eyes, as deep as the skies, carried a hint of worry.

"Astraea-sama." Alise scuttled to the beauty's side and wrestled the bag from her grasp. "I'm sorry for leaving your side."

"Don't mind it," Astraea said, still staring at me and Nao by my side. "Are you the new couple everyone's talking about in Orario?"

Is that what people are calling me now?

Her eyes stopped on Grayfia and Rini standing behind me. "Are the rumors of you being runaway nobles from the Far East actually true?"

Alise nodded smugly. "I found it on our first meeting during the Feast."

"Let's move to a better place for this discussion. There is a cafe nearby."

The Goddess of Justice wanted to solve Apollo's problems for me. Let's see what she suggests.

—x—x—x—

The cafe was just a few streets away from Babel.

Cafe Wishe.

A classy cafe with beast girls serving the customers in a maid dress, their colorful, thin, or bushy tails peeking from their dress swishing back and forth.

It was heaven for both kemonomimi lovers and normies from Earth. Even Nao and Grayfia were overcome with emotions at the scene, trailing the maids with their eyes. Rini just sipped on the flavored milk Alise ordered.

Astraea placed her hands on the table and leaned with a serious expression. "I assume you have heard of Apollo's reputation for inviting adventurers."

I nodded. "Yup. He first invites them politely, then uses brute force to break their spirit. If someone resists, he chases them through the nine hells until they give up their heart and surrender to join his Familia."

Alise put down her white cup, her expression taking a serious turn. "Then why are you still here?"

"Didn't Astraea Familia take it as their duty to protect innocent people like me?"

"I-I was just jokin'. I'd never let them bully a couple like you."

"Alise…" Astraea shook her head. "It's not that simple. Apollo will use underhanded tactics to attack them. He'll bend other gods to his whims and achieve what he desires. That is the kind of god Apollo is."

"But I won't let Marikawa-san hurt," Alise muttered under breath, her tone glum. "I won't let any innocent suffer; I can't let the evil rise again in Orario."

The Evilus incident's scars still remained in their hearts. Astraea Familia was the center of all of this. This talk won't go anywhere. Although they are a justice serving Familia, they can't punish Apollo Familia without solid evidence. Like hell a bitch like Apollo will leave evidence of his dirty deeds.

My option to deal with them was still the best. If push comes to shove, I'll skewer their asses with Gae Bolg and escape to the dungeon.

"Actually, you two don't have to worry about us. We can take care of ourselves," I gave my sincere answer.

Alise snapped up her head, her eyes growing wide. She wasn't taking my answer at face value. Astraea patted her back and smiled at me.

"Please, don't hesitate to ask our help if Apollo bothers you too much… I'll try to help however I can."

"Thanks," I smiled and sipped my drink in one gulp. "We need to go now."

"Good luck in the dungeon."

Alise's hesitant expression made me smile. "I said it, didn't I? I can take anything this city throws at me and still survive."

With that, I walked out, not before paying the bill. I can't let them pay after all!
