With great powers, comes a great harem! - Chapter 44- Consoling?

After some small talks with Maya, Shio woke up so the three decided to first take a bath(separately of course) before having breakfast.

Yuki and Maya have taken leave from class today, for obvious reasons and their applications were accepted immediately by their homeroom professor, considering that she must be aware of the incident that occurred last night.

“Haah…” Standing under the shower which was washing his body with lukewarm water, Yuki sighed in relief.

There were blood stains and some wound marks still visible on his skin, other than the old ones. He had an ideal chiseled build with a slightly above-average height which makes his physique an art for admiration.

Surely, Yuki wasn’t leisurely enough to think about his body and wounds whatsoever, since his mind was currently cluttered with disturbing thoughts.

Yuki’s aunt and uncle hated Yuki for the sole reason that because of his existence the chances of their son inheriting the Sword of the clan and becoming the next Patriarch, neared to zero.

Yuki’s brother was only two years younger than him but a little too full of himself and often did things that could be counted as plain and simple, foolish.

The current clan patriarch didn’t even consider the young man named—Kurokawa Misaki, a proper candidate for the throne…until Yuki was awakened with his useless skill.

After Yuki was determined as a useless piece of disposable trash, the chance of Misaki succeeding in the head position of the Kurokawa clan jumped from almost zero to nearly a hundred percent. There was Yuki’s sister as well, who was four years younger than him, but the old thinking of the clan ministers and patriarch himself wouldn’t allow a woman to take over the throne unless she doesn’t came out to be as strong as a World rank hunter.

In summary, the most likely next head of the Kurokawa family was Misaki…if only things hadn’t changed for Yuki that day when he nearly broke his phone and got to meet a real goddess.

Now that the clan people know about his dual awakening, there surely must have been some talks about taking Yuki back in or at least getting him registered as Misaki’s personal guard or something so the ‘property’ of the Kurokawa clan doesn’t get exploited by someone else.

‘I just feel sick to even think about their plots and disgusting nature… ‘

After he finished bathing, Yuki used his skill to change his clothes within a flash after he dried himself with a towel. His primary skill indeed shows some usefulness from time to time.

Walking back inside the bedroom he saw that Maya was arranging the breakfast and Shio brewing tea in the makeshift kitchen.

“It smells nice…” Taking a seat at the small table and chairs Maya had brought out of her spatial storage, Yuki complimented.

“The breakfast is freshly prepared so-”

“Oh, I am not talking about the food.”

Maya’s hand, which was pouring the soup into the bowl, instantly froze and her body shook slightly. Glancing at his smiling face didn’t help Maya much either.

Thankfully, Shio arrived immediately after and saved Maya from displaying her childish side who blushes and stutters at the slightest bit of teasing.

“Good morning, Yuki-kun. Here, your black coffee.”

Yuki said his thanks to his girlfriend before helping her with the tray so Shio could sit comfortably beside him.

“Did you sleep well, Shio? Does it still hurt anywhere?”

Hearing his concerned voice, Shio’s heart melted before she smiled and replied in an elated tone, “Other than slight discomfort in my back, I am fine. Once I replenish my mana, I will heal it, so you don’t need to worry, Yuki-kun.”

That backache actually occurred because, in the morning, Shio was thrown to the floor by Maya since the prior was trying to cuddle with the blond princess. In the morning, both of them apologized to each other and the matter was resolved.

“That so…well, if you want I can give you a massage tonight?”

Truth be told, Yuki wasn’t flirting with her…or maybe he was a little, but he genuinely was concerned for Shio and wanted to utilize his massaging techniques. Yuki often massaged his Nee-san after a long day of work and she always praised his skills in this field.

However, the reaction Shio wore upon hearing the offer was something Yuki couldn’t get enough of. A healthy blush crept its way from her neck and tinted her whole face under the shade of crimson.

“….alright no more teasing. Let’s eat breakfast now.” It was amusing to see how easily both of them got flustered but he didn’t want to keep them busy with his lip work.

The breakfast was ordered by Maya, that’s why there only seemed to be healthy stuff. There were sandwiches, fruit juice, poached eggs, fruit salad, and chicken soup.

Since all of them were superhuman, their appetite naturally was higher than what a normal person could eat. On average, Yuki could eat almost eight of those sandwiches and five poached eggs. Not to talk about that he was famished after all the messy stuff they got involved in.

As his bowl got empty, Shio scooped some soup for Yuki with a question from her following soon after, “Yuki-kun…what would happen now? I mean, you have sorted Amaye-nee’s situation but what about Maya-san’s family? What if they call her back?”

Hearing her question, Maya remained silent even though she was at the center of the concern. She trusted Yuki enough to leave all her life decisions to him.

Yuki remained silent for a good ten seconds before he turned to look at Maya who was sitting opposite him.

“Has someone contacted you from your family?”

For some reason, Maya’s expression turned solemn hearing that before she answered in a neutral tone, “Mother texted that she regrets giving birth to someone like me. Other than that, no order or anything regarding me dropping out whatsoever.”

The atmosphere around the table turned heavy when Maya said those words in such a casual manner like she hadn’t been despised by the person a child loved the most.

Yuki was taken aback hearing what her mother had said but remembering what kind of human Lady of Karuizawa family is, Yuki’s surprise lessened.

However, on the other side, Shio had a more expressive reaction as tears welled up in her eyes as she leaned to hug Maya from the side.

“Maya-san… I am sorry to hear tha*sniff* that…”

Maya was indeed a little annoyed by the clinginess but she didn’t refute Shio’s way of consoling and replied in a soft tone, “Thank you for grieving in my stead, Shio-san, since I really don’t care about what they think about me.”

Yuki looked at the scene with a warmth in his gaze but there was a certain emotion continuously flickering deep inside of him.

Not only the Kurokawa clan but also Maya’s family have gone too far with their little stunts.

And Yuki knows the best occasion to shut their mouths.

‘The general meeting of the four major clans…’
