Chapter 242: The Harem Door Opened on the First Day of the Semester (1)[R-18]
“Phew...”
I let out a long sigh as I collapsed onto my bed after returning home.
It had been an eventful day, to say the least.
I’d run into Chloe unexpectedly at the salon and had my semen stolen, and I’d even shared that monumental realization about Helen’s ‘Sun’s Pussy.’
Thanks to all that, I was feeling pretty physically drained, but...
“Still, I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do.”
Crack, crack—
I lightly cracked my neck and pulled up the Gallery.
No matter how tired I was, as the Gallery Manager, I had to check in at least once a day, didn't I?
‘Now, let’s see...’

As always, the Gallery was overflowing with all sorts of aggro and jokes.
Amidst the unchanging chaos, I checked the posts that stood out first.

‘Today’s fapping material,’ a post I could always trust, did not disappoint today either.

I habitually saved Yuris-nim’s verification shot into its dedicated folder and moved on to the next post.

I used to eat him up almost every single day during the semester, but since the break started, cobwebs are literally forming in my pussy, ffs. Shouldn't we be having sex at least once every three days??
UseNiceWordsOnly■: Holy shit ㅋㅋㅋ look at that vulgar vocabulary ㅋㅋ "cobwebs" lmao
ㄴChildhoodFriendRapist■: ㅋㅋ
ㄴUseNiceWordsOnly■: ? Why are you smirking?
ㄴChildhoodFriendRapist■: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“The start of the semester, huh...”
I muttered, stroking my chin.
Before I knew it, the new semester was right around the corner.
I’d been so busy handling various things during the break that it didn't feel like I’d actually rested...
But still, the thought that I wouldn't have to run around everywhere once classes started and could just meet everyone at the ‘Sacred Academy’ wasn't so bad.
“Wait... hold on... everyone?”
At that moment, a sudden sense of dread washed over me, and I began scanning the posts more quickly.
Scroll, scroll—

[What do guys think of a woman having her first relationship at 29?][7]
Lately... I’ve met a guy I’m kind of... catching feelings for? But I’ve never dated before, so I’m not sure... We’ve already had sex, though.
ㅇㅇ(122.39): Is the guy handsome?
ㄴNeverGetAnA■: Probably? I think so?
ㄴUseNiceWordsOnly■: If he’s handsome, he’s handsome; if he’s not, he’s not. What’s with the "probably"? You said you had sex, right? Was that a lie?
ㄴㅇㅇ(122.39): Maybe she did it with a bag over his head~

Manager, my light.
Manager, my life.
Manager, my joy.
Manager, my sorrow.
Manager, my pain.
Manager, my rest.
FlamingSandwich■: Seriously, here she goes with the sudden worship again...
JusticeMagicalGirl◇: I am not performing "sudden worship." I have been performing "constant worship" 24 hours a day, 365 days a year; you simply happened to "suddenly witness" it.

...I want to eat together when the semester starts... What kind of lunch boxes... do guys like?
Pyeolkwaelkwael■: Who changed their nickname to this now? ㄷ?

Pause—!
While I was half-unconsciously scrolling through the posts, something caught my eye that I couldn't just pass over.
“Estelle’s nickname... changed?”
[EveryoneDiesAloneInTheEnd■]
Estelle’s previous nickname couldn't be called positive even as a joke.
The posts she wrote under that name were the same.
They were filled with sorrow and hatred for the world, like announcing her suicide in 100 days or hurling insults at random people.
But...
[IWantToLiveAnyway■]
Estelle’s new nickname showed a will to move forward, overcoming her past pain.
‘Estelle...’

I smiled at that welcome change and gently pressed the upvote button.

Guys, which outfit do you think looks better for a younger guy who acts like he's older??

Just a light steak~
ㅇㅇ(71.211): This is poor...? That looks expensive as hell, how much was it?
ㄴGalactic Dirt Spoon■: 4
ㄴㅇㅇ(71.211): Oh, 40,000 Ellis? That’s cheaper than I thought ㄷㄷ
ㄴGalactic Dirt Spoon■: 400,000, obviously. Are there even steaks that cost 40,000?

“Okay, analysis complete.”
After scrolling through the Gallery for a long time, I closed my eyes and nodded.
“I’m screwed.”
Evelyn, Estelle, Helen, Yuris-nim, Laplace, Elfriede, Chloe...
Just counting the faces I’d have to run into at the Academy as soon as the semester started, there were already seven.
‘...Wait, even if I exclude Chloe, there are six?’
Since I’d only met Chloe as ‘Phantom’ and not as ‘Ian’ yet, I could leave her out for now... but that still left six people I had to face on the very first day of classes.
‘This is really not going to be easy.’
I felt a cold sweat running down my back.
Evelyn and Estelle were in the same class, so that was one thing, but...
The Saintess Candidate, the Second Princess, the Genius Beauty High Elf, and the Red Rose Heiress.
Every single one of them was a top-tier celebrity at the Academy.
“....”
It was already chaos when Laplace alone visited my classroom before, but if that entire lineup gathered in one place?
Without exaggeration, the Academy would be turned upside down.
“...What should I do?”
Of course, legally and morally, my ‘harem’ wasn't a problem!
Imperial law allowed polygamy, and while they might not know exactly who else was in the harem, I had technically received permission for the harem itself.
However, humans aren't always rational.
Even if they knew about the ‘harem’ intellectually...
When they all gathered in one spot, would they really just say, “Ah, I see!” and move on?
Honestly, I couldn't guarantee that.
“First... let’s organize the relationship chart. Who knows who...”
I muttered, clutching my throbbing head.
“First, Estelle knows everyone... and does Yuris-nim know everyone too? Well, even if she doesn't, Yuris-nim would probably understand... Helen knows Evelyn, Laplace, and Yuris-nim... Ah, does she know Poporing too? And Evelyn knows Yuris-nim and Poporing and...”
Throb— Throb—
My head felt like it was going to explode.
The more I thought about it, the more confused I became about who knew whom as a harem member.
“Tools... let’s use tools...”
In the end, I pulled out a piece of paper and a pencil, wrote my name in the center, wrote the women’s names around it, and started drawing lines between those who knew each other.
And then...
Rip! Tear!
“...Forget it.”
Before long, I crumpled up the relationship chart, which had become as complex as a spiderweb, and threw it away, giving up on thinking altogether.
“Let’s just do what I always do.”
Yeah, what did it matter who knew whom?
I’d have to come clean about everything eventually anyway.
It felt like it would be easier to just break through head-on this time.
‘They’re all women I chose.’
If I wasn't going to take responsibility, I shouldn't have started a harem in the first place.
That it was unavoidable to save the world?
It was too late to use that excuse.
Now, even without a trivial reason like saving the world...
I had no intention of letting a single one of them go from my ‘harem.’
‘So, to take responsibility for everyone...’
Clench—
Having made up my mind, I made a vow to myself.
‘Let’s start No Nut Abstinence!’
