Chapter 277: The Revelation
After a heated session in the suite room, the President and Rika were knocked out in about two hours. I laid them on the bed and stepped out onto the terrace alone.
"…It's cold."
Tying the knot of the bathrobe I'd thrown over my naked body, I looked up at the Tokyo night sky.
Just as the forecast had predicted a white Christmas this year, thick snowflakes were falling from the sky.
It was beautiful to look at, but I couldn't feel entirely happy thinking about the snow that would be piled up in the yard when I got home tomorrow.
I took out my smartphone to check the time.
11:55 PM.
Exactly five minutes left until Christmas.
The two of them, with their relatively lower stamina, showed no signs of waking up. It seemed I would have to welcome midnight alone.
Just as I was enjoying the romantic moment, looking down at the beautiful Tokyo nightscape—
~♪
The intercom suddenly rang.
"What's this?"
Wondering what was going on, I went inside and picked up the intercom receiver.
"Yes, how can I help you?"
The voice of a staff member came from the other side.
「Sir, your room service has arrived.」
"Ah, just a moment."
It seemed the President had pre-ordered room service to arrive right at midnight.
But since she was lying exhausted on the bed, I went to get the door myself.
Click!
When I opened the door, standing there was—
"Surprise!"
"S-Surprise…"
Sasha and Karen, dressed in red Santa outfits you'd only see in an AV [Adult Video].

??????
What the? Seriously, what the hell?
For a moment, I had the rare experience of my brain completely shutting down.
Why are you two here?
Unlike me, who was frozen with the door still open, Sasha, maintaining her usual composure, squeezed through the slightly ajar doorway.
"Well then, excuse us for a moment."
"…Excuse me."
"W-Wait a minute!"
I hurriedly called out to them, but their confident steps didn't falter.
Sasha and Karen walked down the short hallway and into the suite's living room.
Of course, what awaited them there were my two naked girlfriends lying on the disheveled bedsheets.
"Oh? Looks like you've already had a tumble."
"C-Condoms!"
I quickly followed them in and asked, "How in the world did you find this place?"
Honestly, the situation was so sudden that my brain wasn't working properly. There was no way the two of them just happened to be staying at the same hotel the President had personally booked, on Christmas Day of all days.
In response to my question, Sasha glanced back with a meaningful smile and said, "It seems Chairwoman Saionji didn't tell you anything, did she?"
"Kumiko-senpai?"
Wondering what on earth she meant, I looked at the President, who was sprawled out unconscious on the bed.
The one person who could explain this bewildering situation had long since departed for heaven and looked like she wouldn't be coming to her senses for a good while.
Regardless, Sasha perched on the sofa where we had been drinking champagne, leisurely crossing her white-stockinged legs as she spoke.
"Chairwoman Saionji concluded that it would be difficult for her to handle your stamina, with your Extreme Yang Body, all by herself. So, after much deliberation, she came up with the 'Kim Yoo-Sung Harem Plan.'"
"The Kim Yoo-Sung Harem Plan...?"
"According to various Western studies, providing a satisfying sexual experience is considered necessary for maintaining a healthy marital relationship. Judging that she alone could not satisfy your libido, Chairwoman Saionji made a decision. In order to continue her relationship with you, she chose to share your affection—which she could have kept all to herself—with multiple people. That is the full story of the Kim Yoo-Sung Harem Plan."
Incredible.
I stared at the President, feeling as if I'd been struck on the back of the head.
Having devoured dozens of romantic comedies to predict the plot of the original Scramble Love, I knew. I knew just how absurd it was for a heroine to choose the harem option herself in the world of rom-coms, where the final winner takes all.
And yet, the President had accomplished that difficult feat.
All for me.
As I stood there, frozen with a shocked expression, Sasha asked with a cold gaze, "So, what are you going to do now, Kim Yoo-Sung? In the end, the choice is yours."
You can reject us if you want.
If you do, the harem plan Chairwoman Saionji personally established will all go up in smoke.
But if you accept it, you'll be able to be with not just us, but many more women.
It's a win-win situation where you can satisfy your overflowing libido.
"Wait, just give me a moment."
I said, stopping Sasha.
Honestly, so much information had flooded my brain in such a short time that I couldn't process it all.
Even when I accepted Rika as my second girlfriend, it felt like things had just sort of happened, but I said okay because I liked them both, and they both agreed to it.
But for more women to be added to the mix?
I had never even considered that.
Frankly, I thought I was already enjoying more happiness than I deserved.
After organizing my thoughts a little, I asked Sasha, "Can I ask a few questions?"
"What are you curious about?"
"Specifically, how many people are participating in the President's harem plan?"
Sasha glanced upward for a moment before answering.
"As of now, there are six. That number could grow in the future."
Six people agreed to this absurd plan?
I could understand Sasha and Karen, who've always been obvious about liking me, but I had no clue where the other two came from.
I hesitated for a moment before asking, "Did everyone join this harem plan voluntarily?"
"Of course. They all endured these unfavorable terms because they like you. They wanted to be with you until the end, even if it meant sharing the man they love with other women."
"…But polygamy is illegal under current Japanese law. How do you plan to solve that problem?"
Sasha chuckled.
"A foolish question. Look at the people involved here. Do you really think the women who have fallen for you are so powerless they can't even change a single law?"
"......"
It was all true, so I had nothing to say.
Putting aside Rika, who has a relatively ordinary father, if the President, Sasha, and Karen joined forces, changing a law would probably be nothing to them.
"Are your questions finished, then? I'd like to hear your answer to my earlier question."
"Wait, just a moment. Let me ask one last thing."
I said, stopping Sasha's prodding, and asked the two of them with a serious expression.
"Why are you so hung up on someone like me?"
They were both beautiful enough to have men lining up for them; it didn't have to be me.
And their answers to this question were different.
"Because you saved me."
"Because you're kind."
Their voices came out at the same time.
Fixing her straightforward gaze on me, Sasha spoke first.
"I've said it before, but strong men are my type. You're the first man I've ever seen defeat my father, and I find the clumsy side you show in daily life, despite being so strong, to be charming. And more than anything, from the moment you stood boldly in front of Boris to protect me when I was being dragged away during our first meeting, my heart has been beating for you."
Then, Karen spoke.
"To be honest, I didn't see you as a potential partner at first. But when I ran away crying after my confession failed, you were there to gently comfort me, and thanks to you, I was able to get back up from despair. Even knowing that Rika liked you, I couldn't help my feelings. So when the President proposed this plan, I was honestly happy. Because it meant that even I, who thought I had no chance compared to the other girls, could stand by your side."
The reasons the two of them had fallen for me, which they laid out so calmly, were not artificially created feelings, just like with the President and Rika.
Perhaps I was the one who had been drawing the line, telling myself that this was the world of a manga.
I had jumped to the conclusion, suspecting that the original heroines might like me only because I had replaced the protagonist, but the reality was different.
While all of them liked me with pure feelings, I alone had been looking elsewhere.
And so, I made my decision.
Since things had come to this, I would take responsibility for all of them.
"…I'm lacking in many ways, but I'll be in your care from now on."
As I said this and bowed my head, the two of them, who had looked surprised at first, soon understood my meaning and broke into bright smiles.
