Raven rushed home; on his way, he made sure to purchase a nice bouquet; as he walked towards the parking lot outside the dungeon, he entered to reach the Dread Lord's residence.
He looked around before opening his new car's doors.
A sleek black sports car with verticle doors placed the bouquet with various flowers trimmed and created by a nymph, all the colours that reminded him of Emily.
The car's interior was full leather with thick comfy seats, black with a neon blue digital interface that displayed his fuel, speed, current status, and car's efficiency.
Pressing the ignition, he pushed his foot down as the car shot down the empty road near the outskirts and zoomed towards the Dungeon Bureau to pick up his cute dryad wife.
[Current speed: 105 mph]
[Turn left at the next junction and lower speed]
"Damn, this woman is more bossy than my wives..." Raven complained as he flicked the holo-indicator and turned left, lowering his speed like a good orc.
It only took 15 minutes to reach the Bureau as he used his mana to refill the car's tank in a few seconds.
Normally a specialised Mana pump was used as it required more than 50 times an average male mana to fill the Magitek engine.
For Raven, it was like the dregs of urine that flicked out when he shook himself after using the toilet.
Adjusting his specialised blue suit that Emile preferred, he entered the doors and stepped forward carrying two bouquets.
'Because they always visit me in pairs!'
One for Philis and the other for Emily, as he saw them chatting with smiles; since working from home gets boring, sometimes, his little elf wife would work part-time with Emily thanks to Nene's allowance.
"Yo, my two favourite girls of the day!" Raven called as they were gossiping together.
'I can't say favourites as an absolute, or they will brag and upset the other girls back home...'
He hated it at first, but now Raven was used to the Harem lifestyle and learned small things like this to avoid arguments or issues between the girls.
Each day he would call the women he was dating his favourites of the day, and the women seemed to like this system as each day was like a mini competition to see who would win my selection.
I also had to act more romantic with flowers, gifts, and treatment. They accepted my selfish harem, so I felt that giving 120% to them when I did focus on them was to be expected.
'Ah, but Zeon was different... That girl enjoys being bullied.
They turned to face him, "Darling! It's so early. Didn't you fight today... oh? Flowers for me any Emily... hehe~ such a lovely husband."
"Fufu~ I can tell that these are mine, and those cute pink ones are for your silly elf, right, honey?" Emily left the desk, holding Philis's hand as they hugged his chest, leaning into his scent, feeling the security and warmth it brings.
"Haha, of course, ~ it seems I'll have to change my routine. You're already onto me." Raven joked, hugging his pregnant wife and soon-to-be official wife.
The women had all gathered and decided that if he wanted to marry them all, it was fine, but Philis brought the idea that he put his hand out, so why not have him pay for a wedding for each girl and make them different as compensation?
'Damn, Philis is cheeky, but I am happy if they are.'
It surprised him when they voted for Emily as the first wife and then Philis. Even Lilith seemed to accept this role with only Zeon and a girl he was still just friends with, Evelyn, that complained.
"So sweet~ hehe, only 3 months till the big day, honey. I already got my dress. Are you excited?"
Raven looked a little shy because, unlike normal, marriage was something he had never dreamed of doing a year ago.
And now, so many women were willing to be with him forever.
Despite his strong mana, there were arguments, and sometimes he almost broke up with a few of them due to their strong personalities and his feelings.
'I learned that even if they need my mana, if I don't treat them right, they will leave and live off the scraps the government give them.'
While hugging his two women and smiling as they told him about their day, he remembered when Zestria and Valeria scolded him for acting like a child.
"Do you think just because your Mana drives us crazy, we will unconditionally love you, even if we are neglected?" Zestria shouted once when he spent a week without contacting her.
"Master, I agree... I think you are relying too much on your special flavour and forgetting that we are not robots... Our hearts and feelings are alive. You may be left alone if you don't treat us well."
"Haha, we can't all be as soft and loving as Emily and Philis, can we." Zestria snarled in an angry voice.
At this moment, he began to reflect on himself and realised it was true. Until now, he was throwing a few credits around and treating them all like Emily, who accepted anything he did.
So not long after he defeated Zeon, Raven began to change himself, no longer being close to women outside the harem and focusing on the dungeon and his power.
'Ah... Who would have thought that Zestria would be so sweet and gentle after that...'
"Darling, you have to do something about those succubi! They keep asking how to make a baby faster!" Philis cuddled him, bringing him back to the present.
"Valeria is just being kind to Zestria; she's already been knocked up after all!"
Emily and Philis were similar, but sometimes Emily showed her unique side that even shocked the elf.
"Eh!? When! Darling, when did you pump them enough to fill their appetite and make them mothers!?"
"Ahem...." A little embarrassed, seeing the new part-time receptionist looking their way and blushing, he grabbed their hips and moved towards the door. "Let's go and have dinner, okay? Be a good girl."
"Philis is too easy..." Emily whispered, watching as the elf became like honey in his fingers with his using his 'serious Raven' deep voice to coax her.
"Hmmmm, honey, Lilith is too strong, you know?"
"Oh? How do you mean?"
He smiled slowly, helping the pair into his car—despite being a sports car, it wasn't too low for them to get in and be comfortable in the back.
"She always clears half the dungeon herself! Maybe Lilith can even beat you up, honey! So behave and don't tease any more women before we have checked them!"
"Ohhh~ that horse noble is funny; she always beings strange food when coming to shoot videos!" Philis added as he clipped her in.
As his car was driving down the highway to reach the restaurant, he thought to himself, listening to the two women gossiping and leaving him out, wide smiles on their faces as they talked about a silly drama from the east where two men fell in love.
'This is the kind of life I wanted...'
[Current speed: 45 mph (Limit: 60 mph)]
'Of course, AI wife, my two wives and future twin daughters are in the car. I won't drive recklessly.'
Looking into the rearview mirror, he smiled at Emily, who noticed his glance and winked back.
Not long after, he pulled off the highway and reached the restaurant.
The nostalgic one where he first dated Emily wasn't chosen for today. Instead, Emily and Philis chose it together and insisted he take them.
A strange fusion restaurant created with elven and dryad cuisine in mind by the legendary chef Jordan Ramsay.
"Oh~ it's so fancy!"
"Quick, let's go; I want to eat the delicious food!"
Like children, the women made noise as he treated them like princesses and helped them out of the car since they were so sweet late at night if he was like this during the day.
"Welcome to the Cevio Maduran, dear guest."
With top-quality staff and a warm welcome, they were guided to the most expensive VIP seats of the night, booked over a month ago due to their popularity.
"I want the Cevidar salad with the Maron berry reduction~ I love how sweet and sour the berry tastes with the cheese and olives."
"Ahem... Honey, I would like the same, but with a side of the Varish and parsley soup." Emily asked with a red face.
'Isn't Varish that sweet blue flower meant to make women more likely to get pregnant... I guess it's about time; Emily said she wanted a family long ago.
Raven smiled, "Go on then; I will have the Belldardo soup with croutons and cheese then." He smiled at the two with a wink, causing them to squeal.
Belldardo was the male equivalent of the Varish flower.
He felt the time would fly whenever he spent it with the women who supported him from a zero, no job, no talent orc.
That's why he tried to savour each moment, always listening and watching them speak to learn the little things he might have missed.
*Bzzzt*
Looking down, Raven checked his phone, a message from Zeon.
[Husband, there will likely be a huge dungeon break next month. Please will you offer your support to the S-Rank Enforcer team?]
It was strange for her to sound so normal and not be strange...
'That's serious, huh.... this is the fourth in the past 3 months...'
Something was changing; the dungeons were becoming more deadly and dangerous. More adventurers were dying daily or vanishing like the old man and his parents.
Yet they could do nothing but react.
