After fully putting his talent for encouraging study to use with Koyuki, and once she had fallen asleep, Aoba quietly left.
In the end, he arrived at Roran.
Even though he had already lived like this for over a year, even Aoba himself was starting to find it a bit troublesome.
After all, traveling between so many places every day, even though his chakra was practically inexhaustible, it was still somewhat of a hassle. If this kept up, he felt like he was about to turn into a human-shaped walking… something.
And now, they had all come of age. Ino and Karin had already taken the first step, so Tenten, Sakura, and the others would definitely follow.
Looking at it this way, once Tenten and the rest were added, the number of places he'd have to go in the future would only increase.
Aoba couldn't help but let out a small sigh.
'Maybe this is what they meant by: if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.'
Since he had chosen to be a scumbag, then at the very least, he had to satisfy every one of his girlfriends' needs.
Otherwise, if he messed with someone and then just left them hanging afterward, that wouldn't just make him a scumbag, it would make him complete trash.
Looking at it this way, getting married sooner might actually be a good thing.
When the time came, everyone could gather together, build a bigger house, make a large bed that could fit everyone, and also…
Mm, thinking about it like this, it would definitely be much more convenient.
Convenient and lively.
He really had to thank Terumi Mei for bringing up the idea of marriage. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to think of a good enough reason to have everyone live together.
Of course, for Koyuki and Seramu, these two queens, they had too many affairs to handle, so for now they definitely couldn't just move in directly.
"Hm?"
While Aoba was still imagining the lively scene after marriage, a chain formed from chakra lashed out at him.
With his level of control, breaking free from something like this was effortless.
But Aoba knew who was attacking him at this moment, so he didn't resist.
Before he could react further, the rope around him suddenly tightened. Seramu restrained him and said with clear dissatisfaction,
"What? You've already come to my place and you're still spacing out. Did the previous sister leave you wanting more that badly?"
"..."
Aoba was a bit speechless and explained, "I was just thinking about something."
But explanation aside, he could tell Seramu had no intention of letting him go.
She clearly wanted to be a proper queen again for once after so long.
Naturally, he wasn't going to object. For harmless things like this, he was quite willing to cooperate. As long as she could bear the consequences later.
"Hmph! Whether you were thinking or still unsatisfied, I'll be the judge of that."
Seramu took the initiative to charge forward.
However, this proud queen only lasted a few rounds before she fell.
The Dragon Vein chakra that Seramu had been using to control Aoba was seized in an instant.
The difference between a king and a mount, aside from instinct, also came down to strength.
After that, there was no reversal.
———
When it was all over, Seramu lay on the bed, panting heavily.
At this moment, she actually found herself missing the days when she fought side by side with Tsunade.
"If we're getting married together, then so be it. I don't mind."
Seramu said in a soft, weakened voice.
Aoba had naturally also told her about the marriage.
"Mm…"
Seeing Seramu agree so decisively, Aoba didn't show much relief on his face.
Because on Seramu's side, the real problem wasn't actually Seramu herself, she could tell what he was worried about, and a slightly sly smile appeared on her face.
She reached out and gently rubbed his brow, teasing, "Got a headache?"
"A little."
Aoba didn't think there was anything to hide about that.
"Well, whose fault is it that that girl insisted on following you to this world twenty years in the future?"
Seramu's expression shifted into a slightly gloating smile, "Now look, she's not old enough, so she can only behave herself as a proper student. In the end, I get the advantage."
"Ahem!"
Aoba couldn't help but cough awkwardly, "Aren't you worried she'll fall out with you?"
Seramu's gloating expression faded a bit, "Do you think she doesn't know about us?"
After spending day and night together for a whole year, with Aoba coming over every night, it would've been impossible not to notice something.
It was only thanks to his eye technique being so convenient that it hadn't been exposed earlier.
After all, at the beginning, that girl would drop by her room for surprise checks from time to time.
Then one day, she suddenly stopped coming. She had probably already found out.
She just never said anything or confronted her about it. It had become an unspoken understanding.
"This…"
Aoba felt that knowing was one thing, but openly getting married was another.
Seeing that he still looked troubled, Seramu simply said, "During this time, I'll talk to her and work on her thoughts a bit. But beyond that, I can't help you."
"But with that girl's personality, as long as you make time to be with her more often, it probably won't be a problem."
"Seramu, you…"
Aoba was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected Seramu to willingly step in and talk things through.
Seramu's expression softened further, and she said somewhat helplessly, "Well, even if I don't regret it, I'm still partly at fault. I should take some responsibility."
