With great powers, comes a great harem! - Chapter 54- Thank you
If someone would have told Maya that just within some months of enrolling into her academy she would be able to reunite with her Lord and also, become a significant part of his life…Maya may express a sad laugh at that.
She knew her relationship with Yuki was broken beyond repair. She has abandoned him at his worst and hurt him in the most heinous manner.
However, now here she was. Laying down on the bed with her head resting over her lover’s chest and his soft caresses ensuring her about his presence.
For the last few hours, she got to discover a lot of things.
A side of her Lord which she was not aware of, surfaced while they were passionately engaged in their lovemaking. Until now, she had only seen his handsome and brave side, so this romantic version greatly surprised her as well as, instantly addicted.
And if talking about discoveries then Maya also came to know about a dormant side of herself that was so shameless and vulgar that even thinking about it at the moment, made her face hot all over.
“Hey, Maya…” Her daze broke upon hearing Yuki’s voice before she replied with a quick, ‘Yes?’
“Do you love me more than your parents and family? Your clan and responsibilities? Are you willing to sacrifice them all, to be with me?”
Maya’s previous mood shifted dramatically upon hearing her Lord’s words. She felt regretful that by now she wasn’t able to make it obvious to him, but now that her Lord had asked, Maya needed to answer truthfully.
After she straightened her back to reveal her unblemished bare skin from under the covers, Maya turned to look at Yuki in the eyes before she responded,
“More than anything and anyone in the world, I cherish you, Yuki-sama. If God asks me to destroy this world to save you, I won’t think twice about committing the task. In my life, I have loved no one else to this extent except for you. So yes, more than my family and clan, you hold importance in my life.”
Should she be embarrassed saying such things that sounded nothing less than a love confession? No. Why should she?
In her mind, Maya had already resolved on such marks a long time ago. She has already transfixed in her subconscious that who matters to her or whose death wouldn’t even make her flinch. And undoubtedly, the person who had the most significance in her life was none other than her Lord.
It wasn’t like Yuki didn’t anticipate such a response, yet hearing so many bold remarks from the lady, definitely shook him up a little.
If someone asks, what Yuki did to attract such a wonderful, talented, and beautiful girl as Maya, then he would not be able to respond. He has no idea what he did to make not only Maya but even Shio, so deeply in love with him.
Yuki couldn’t help sighing before he pulled the girl back in his arms.
Yuki knew she might be sad upon not getting her feelings reciprocated, but as of now, all his words in support of his confession would have been half-hearted. And when it comes to the people he genuinely cares for, Yuki doesn’t want to do anything with a double mind.
The young couple remained in the confines of the room for some more minutes before they decided to return to Yuki’s dorm.

Back in the dorm, Shio thought they might not return tonight, given how long Yuki could go in bed, yet she still prepared dinner for all three regardless.
And just as she hoped, Maya and Yuki returned by eleven.
“Hey, how are you?” Yuki gave Shio a tight hug to which she responded equally before whispering her response,
“Missing you all day.”
Unlike Maya and Yuki, who attend classes and meet new people, Shio has to remain inside the dorm or the far she can roam is the student dormitory gardens which are separated from the main buildings of the Tower.
Sometimes Yuki felt really bad for her, but until he didn’t ascend to the second floor and get himself a mansion, there was nothing he could do.
After hugging her a little more, Yuki excused himself since he hadn’t taken a bath yet, unlike Maya who already washed herself back in her room.
Once left, Maya hesitantly approached Shio, prepared for the worst, given how she seemingly seduced Yuki in so little time.
However, Shio didn’t hear anything from her rather asked something in a concerned tone,
“Does it still hurt? I mean…you know?” Shio was slightly embarrassed to ask things related to what happened between Yuki and Maya, however, it was enough for the listener to understand what Shio meant.
“A-Ah…yes…it bled a little initially but after that, it was all good…though I feel slightly y-you know…”
“Stuffy?” Shio raised her brows with a knowing smile, to which a blushing Maya responded with a simple nod.
Both of them fell silent after that, only to break out into a small chuckle upon noticing the awkwardness they had created.
“Well, I should set up the tab-”
“Shio.” The brunette raised her brows before turning to look at Maya again, only to find a rare warm smile elevating her lips as she whispered in a soft tone,
“Thank you.”

After Yuki walked out of the bath the three of them decided to have dinner.
Today, Shio prepared chicken salad, fruit juice, and white sauce pasta. The food was nutritious and tasty enough that nothing was left once they finished eating. The most amount of the food was of course consumed by Yuki, who complimented the chef more than a dozen times while they ate.
…that made Maya aware of the importance of culinary skills.
Yuki never received any call from the management which meant either Ryan hadn’t recovered to say anything or no one believed him, since Yuki was a hundred percent sure that he killed that guy with that elbow spear.
Ryan’s heart exploded inside his chest because of the sheer strength enhanced by the elemental magic.
Once everyone settled with Maya and Shio sitting at the edge of the bed and Yuki occupying a chair while facing them, Yuki finally began his story.
A secret he never assumed he would be telling anyone.

A/N:- He won’t tell everything but yeah.
