Vol 1 Chapter 3 – Only You Can Save Me【Vol 1 – Starting a Harem Life with Beautiful Girls in Another World!】

Summoned without warning to another world, and now a beautiful Imperial Princess was asking me to marry her.

And apparently, the only thing I’d be required to do was father her children. Everything else was off the table.

Though, given the earlier concern about concentrated power, I suspected it was less than nothing needed to be done and more that someone who would do nothing was actively preferable.

“What happens if I refuse?”

“Then I’d send you back to your own world… is what I’d like to say, but…”

Flora tilted her head, her long silver hair cascading softly over her shoulder.

The thing was — I had died. Or should have.

I had no memories after the truck hit me. There was no way I had walked away from that.

“Summoning magic that reaches into another world pulls people who are on the verge of losing their lives. Someone with a large amount of mana takes a great deal of power to summon, but…”

“Does mana weaken while someone is near death?”

“It does. And even so, this isn’t a spell I can cast over and over. It takes everything I have.”

I couldn’t quite picture what “everything” meant for her, but I gathered this wasn’t something she could pull off casually on a whim.

“Still, I was seriously injured — I could have been dead outright — and yet…”

My body felt fine. Not even a twinge of pain.

“When someone is summoned from another world, their body seems to swap out into something more like a spiritual form during the crossing. That’s why an injury from your world doesn’t carry over.”

“Th-That’s terrifying…”

“It’s magic. But you’re perfectly healthy here in this world, which means there’s no obstacle to getting me pregnant.”

Flora laughed softly, though the blush creeping up her cheeks suggested she was a little embarrassed herself.

If I chose to become Flora’s husband, that would indeed be the direction things would take.

Flora continued.

“If you don’t want to marry me, I can arrange for you to live in this country as a noble instead.”

“That’s… allowed?”

Given everything she’d told me, I had to be an important piece of this puzzle.

If I refused Flora’s proposal, she’d be left in a very difficult position.

And yet she nodded.

“This was a selfish thing to ask from the start. I can’t force someone I’ve suddenly summoned out of nowhere to agree to marry me.”

“But you said you had no other options, Flora-san.”

“I don’t. If you won’t marry me, I’m in serious trouble. If I marry a high-ranking noble, he’ll strip my power away and treat me like nothing more than a vessel for producing his heirs. If I marry a foreign prince, I might be taken away and locked up.”

“That’s… that can’t be…”

She’d told me this was a male-dominant society, but it was far worse than I’d imagined. The fact that the war had weakened the Emperor’s line must have left Flora terribly exposed.

Which meant that if I agreed to be her husband, my own life might be at risk too.

But the moment I saw tears welling in those blue eyes, every calculated thought dissolved.

“The men who want to marry me aren’t thinking about anything except making me bear their children. They want a child of the imperial bloodline — their child. That’s the only reason they want me. So once I’ve given them what they want… I’ll be disposable. They’ll kill me.”

And then Flora clung to me.

The slender princess trembled in my arms, looking up at me with glistening eyes.

“I need you to save me. You’re the only one who can. By marrying me… by giving me a child… only you can save me.”

Vol 1 Chapter 4 – Because It’s the Name of the Man Who Will Be My Husband【Vol 1 – Starting a Harem Life with Beautiful Girls in Another World!】

I don’t think there’s a man alive who could hear a girl — so much younger than him — beg through tear-filled eyes to be saved, and not feel something move inside him.

Especially when that girl is a silver-haired, blue-eyed Imperial Princess.

And especially when she says you’re the only one who can save me — and then asks you to marry her and give her a child.

I wrapped my arms gently around her trembling, slender frame.

Her slight body was surprisingly warm.

Flora looked up at me. I looked back into those blue eyes.

“Are you really sure I’m the one? I could turn out to be a terrible person, you know.”

“I’m not worried. I’ve heard that men from other worlds are kind… and besides, I said it before — I can already tell you’re that kind of person.”

Japan had plenty of awful men, too. But I’d like to think I wasn’t one of them.

And I couldn’t abandon the frightened girl shaking in front of me.

There was also the matter that marrying this princess and living out my days in the inner palace was, frankly, not an unappealing prospect.

If the Empire fell into chaos, my own position would become precarious — but until then, I’d be living as Emperor within those walls.

And with no real obligations to speak of. What Flora needed from me, in the end, was simply to be there and father her children. Everything else, she would handle herself.

And if the day came when Flora was in danger — even if she never asked it of me — I would find a way to help.

My mind was made up.

“All right. I’ll marry you, Flora-san.”

Flora’s face lit up instantly.

“You’ll make a baby with me?”

“W-Well, yes, that’s what it amounts to…”

Hearing it said so plainly made my face go hot.

Flora, still in the circle of my arms, flashed a mischievous smile — and pressed herself closer, her chest flush against me.

The soft, full warmth of her made my heart stutter.

“That means someday, my baby will be nursing from these, right?”

“Isn’t that getting a little ahead of ourselves…?”

“Not by much. I’m really looking forward to you getting me pregnant.”

Getting her pregnant — which meant that — and the image of undressing the beautiful girl in front of me and pulling her onto a bed flashed through my mind before I could stop it.

Ba-dump, ba-dump.

Flora murmured in a pleased, contented voice.

“How many children should we have, do you think? We’ll need a boy to carry on the line, but I’d love a girl too.”

“If she’s Flora-san’s daughter, she’d be absolutely adorable.”

The words slipped out before I could think. Flora blinked at me — and then her cheeks went scarlet.

“Wh-What! Does that mean you think I’m adorable?”

Seeing her flustered in such an unexpected way, I felt a small, irresistible urge to tease her.

“I’m marrying you because I think you’re adorable.”

“I — oh — is that so?”

The words were casual, almost dismissive, but the soft curve of her smile said something else entirely.

Then Flora looked straight into my eyes.

“Hey. You’re going to be my husband — so please, stop being so formal with me.”

“But you’re an Imperial Princess, Flora-san…”

“And you’re going to be Emperor. I’m the consort who serves you.”

Flora said it simply and smiled.

She was younger than me, after all. And despite this being our first meeting, she’d been speaking to me in easy, familiar language from the start — it wouldn’t be strange to match her.

“All right, Flora-san.”

“You don’t need the san either, you know.”

“Sorry. It’s just easier for me that way.”

“Hmm.”

Flora tilted her head.

Honestly, dropping honorifics entirely on the spot was a bit much — and yes, a little embarrassing.

But there was another reason I wanted to keep it.

This world placed men above women. Even Flora — an Imperial Princess — was seen by those men as nothing more than a tool.

If that was the case, then I wanted to be the one person who treated Flora as a person. As an equal.

It was the only thing I, a stranger from another world, could actually give her.

Keeping the -san was my small way of saying: I see you as my equal.

Whether Flora caught any of that, I couldn’t tell.
