Chapter-37: So I need to explain something...

————————————————\\\\\\\\\\\\\

—Phiiish! Boom! Phiish! Boom!

The fireworks bloomed in the night sky, countless colors glittered the night sky as it formed marvelous pictures, painting the sky like it was a blank canvas and the fireworks are the strokes of paint.

"Waaaah!" Sajuna visibly wow'ed in wonder as she watched the beautiful spectacle.

Ren watched along with her as he remembered the times he went to summer festivals with his many parents, because his Dad had a harem, that's why he grew up with many mothers and 2 other sisters.

He also noticed that Sajuna had a blush spread across her face, while fiddling with her hairand sneaking peeks at him, he knew what was coming..

Sajuna tapped her cheeks with her hands while breathing in and out.

'You can do this Sajuna! Don't be afraid! Hooo!'

"R-Ren, can I tell you something?"

"Hn? Go on" Ren looked at her and then made eye contact. To be honest, he liked her too, through their bonds at the battlefield, her taking care of him, he knew he liked Sajuna too, so he couldn't help but being nervous, even though he was exposed to romance at an early stage in life from his parents, it was different experiencing it yourself.

"I-I LIKE YOU! PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME!" Sajuna shouted to Ren as she held out her hand.

"Hiss" Ren sucked air through his teeth, when he finally heard the words he'd been expecting..

After a few seconds of awkward silence, Sajuna was melting at her head, thinking about the worst.

'You're so stupid Sajuna, why did you have to confess!! He probably doesn't even like me!!' Sajuna was screaming in her head as she had began a meltdown due to embarrassment.

"So...I like you..but I have to tell you something first..." Sajuna was startled and happy at the same time, she rejoiced in her heart as she looked straight at his violet eyes.

"YES! I mean, thank goodness!, But what was the thing you have to tell me?" Sajuna sighed in relief.

"I uh...my ancestors had something in our bloodline that goes back to even the Meiji era, it was a blessing from the gods.. the story goes that a man in our bloodline wished to get a wife" Ren started telling a story.

"My ancestor was a very kind man who gives to others whenever they needed it, but he wasn't successful in romance..he was worried that his bloodline will end with him, so he went to a shrine of a deity and prayed to get a wife"

"The god of that shrine took pity on him and gave him a blessing of charm and luck in romance and because of his exceptionally good karma, the blessing got very strong and he married 5 women in his life.." Ren recounted the stories that his father had told him.

"Since then, the blessing was passed down to specific members of our bloodline, then my father has it and gave it to me, and that means..." The explanation was nearing the conclusion as Sajuna realized what he meant.

"I probably am gonna have many girlfriends...I can't control this because the blessing has ingrained itself to our bloodline itself" Ren confessed bluntly and straightforward.

Sajuna's words got stuck in her throat as her thought process became a mess. She was shocked at the revelation, Ren knew about her reaction and accepted it, he didn't have a medium on a relationship like his Aoi-mama.

Aoi Kato, Ren's mother was an otaku through and through, she was also a mangaka author and artist. She was the one that encouraged his father to have a harem when she saw about his outstanding charm that could gather extraordinary women around him.

She was the one who mediated things to make all her sister-wives get along with each other, she was the medium and like the manager of his harem while taking the spot of the first wife.

But Ren didn't have any mediator like his mom, so he didn't really know how to make a romantic relationship. He was given an advice by his mother too, she told him that he needs to find a very understanding and kind girl that will love him unconditionally to be the mediator for a harem, because if he did not have a mediator, then it would quickly become messy.

"Aghh! Alright! I don't care okay?! Just let me be your first one!" Sajuna accepted very quickly and grabbed Ren's chin and leading him to a kiss full of passion, love, and acceptance.

The reason why she had accepted was because she had truly fallen head-over-heels for him, he saved her, he protected her when things had gotten rough, and he...was gentle to her and had patience to care for her.

Ren had a blush also spread on his face as he held her waist, kissing her from above because he was much taller than her.

They exchanged their feelings through the long and passionate kiss, Ren grabbed the back of her head as their kiss deepened. The last brilliant firework bloomed in the background, it formed a golden flower blooming..

Ren and Sajuna broke off their kiss, panting as they looked lovingly at each others eyes. He carried Sajuna up and swung her around happily.

"Hey! Don't swing me around like that! I'll get dizzy, Hehehe!" Sajuna giggled as they happily bonded.

"I love you" Ren said as they touched foreheads and expressed the words that they have long repressed to themselves.

The fireworks was over so they started going back home...while holding hands...

[A/N: *Gasssp* Blasphemy! Hand-holding before marriage?! T-that's so lewd!!! 0////0]

Ren wore a huge and bright smile on his face all the way back to their group building apartment.

"I can't wait to break the news!" Sajuna said while swinging their holding hands joyfully.

—Ding!

The elevator that they rode on reached their lounge floor, when the door opened, everybody saw them walking in while holding hands, and the huge smiles on their faces were a clear indication to everyone in the group.

"Thank God! I thought y'all will take soo long trying to 'fess up to each other" Toka said monotonely without a single shift on her face.

"Wait? You knew?!" Sajuna was startled as Toka gained a shit-eating grin.

"From the very start"

"WhHaaaaaat?!?!" Sajuna couldn't believe her ears, was she really just that predictable?

Ren chuckled in the background as Sajuna turned her attention to him, "So you did too?" As Ren affirmed her answer, she gained a pout and turned away from him.

"Hey! Don't be upset, I'm sorry please!" Ren said with a pleading voice as he hugged her from behind.

"Kyun! Wait, Ren, not in front of everybody!" Sajuna became embarrassed.

"It's not even a few hours yet and with a word I learned while reading stuff, feeding i=us dog food" Toka said amusedly

"Let them have their fun, they're a new couple!" Kanesada chirped in as he chuckled also.

Meanwhile, the lovebirds continued to spread dog food to the whole group.
