Combat Maid Harem

"When are you going to let me meet the rest of them?" Reavire asked, her voice carefree and lacked the harshness he expected.

"Soon."

Lawrend gave her a look, and he flew to one of the portals in the world.

Following behind him was the shadow of Reavire. She curiously looked around them while pretending it was normal for her to follow behind him. Lawrend closed his eyes and acted as if it wasn't odd.

Soon after, he arrived at one of the portals under the sea. The red strips that looked like seaweed were the portals to the Demon World, which returned to being the Spirit World.

Lawrend waved his hand, and his Maid Energy emulated mana. The red strips expanded in width, and a faint image of another world appeared in them.

Lawrend turned to Reavire and recalled her earlier words.

"Are you sure you aren't bound to the Human World anymore?" Lawrend asked.

He gave her a quick look from her toes to the top of her head, causing her to blush a little. She wore a maid uniform, and it felt as if she was exposed before him.

"My Will changed."

"What is it now?"

"That's a secret~" Reavire held a finger over her lips and winked.

"Don't kill the Spirit World's avatar. Promise me that," Lawrend said. He gave her a serious look, communicating that he wasn't joking.

"Why? Do you have a Soul Contract with him? We can kill him so you can become a God already."

Reavire innocently blinked her eyes. If the Spirit World's avatar was here, he would undoubtedly be pissing himself already. He was gravely injured from his battle against the woman god who appeared in his world. It would be trivial for Reavire to take his life.

"Yes. I have a Soul Contract with him."

"Oh, so that's why he lent you the power of the world."

"Isn't that obvious?"

"You could've convinced him if you had charisma."

"..."

Lawrend felt like he had aged a few years from that short interaction. He gave her one last look.

"Promise me?"

Lawrend stared at her.

This was his test for her. He wanted to know if she had truly changed. If she couldn't even hold a promise, then he would be forced to use the power of the whole Spirit World to take her down.

Despite all the caution Lawrend was taking, he could tell she wasn't the same person anymore. She didn't feel like she was lying to him.

"Hahahaha~ I promise, husband. You don't have to look so tense."

Lawrend froze at the mention of the word husband. He blinked his eyes and went through all of the false memories he had with Reavire.

He had no recollection of ever being called 'husband' by her.

"Joking~"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Reavire gave him a playful wink and entered the portal before him.

'She definitely knows…'

If it was unclear before that she knew about the memory alteration, then it was plain as day that she knew. He recalled a few of her words before in bed, and they clicked into pieces like a puzzle.

'Why did she allow it?' Lawrend asked himself.

This question could only be answered by the Goddess, not the Reavire before him. He guessed that Reavire had already forgotten about it as well. Otherwise, she wouldn't appear so carefree.

Lawrend shook his head and followed behind the Goddess.

Like stepping into a pool of water, he emerged from the other side and was greeted by the unique natural laws of the Spirit World. These laws were so similar to the natural laws of the Human World that they seemed related to each other.

"Oh. So this is how you created those Divine Magics."

Reavire turned to him. She extended her arms behind her and took in the calm breeze of the forest around them. The rays of the sun hit her face at an angle, granting her a divine appearance over the world.

The portal behind Lawrend disappeared.

A powerful aura rose from the ground. It traveled all the way from the core of the Spirit World and coalesced into an eye slit in the sky. It opened, and a gravely unwelcoming aura of malice emanated from it.

"Lawrend, what is the meaning of this!?"

Ever since the day Lawrend made a soul contract with the Spirit World's avatar, his way of speaking has become quite similar to Lawrend's.

"She followed me here, and she's not going to harm you," Lawrend explained and gave Reavire a warning glance.

He had a much closer connection with the Spirit World while in it. He could even extinguish all the magic in the world in order to give himself the power to kill her if he wanted to.

For Gods and Goddesses, their worlds were their home, and it was also their strongest weapon.

With two worlds to support him, Lawrend could just barely fight the Goddess if it had happened.

"I didn't promise not to harm him. I only said I wouldn't kill him," Reavire replied, appearing as if she had been wronged. She widened her eyes and gave a smug look in the Eye's direction.

"You know what I meant, right?" Lawrend said as he sighed.

Lawrend ignored her banter and flew to the skies.

"Lawrend! Why is she here!?"

The Eye floated and followed beside Lawrend. It stared at him intently, as if it wanted to open him and see what was inside his head.

"She is my maid, and she followed me in here," Lawrend answered.

He gave him the proper answer. He didn't lie or anything.

However, despite this, the Spirit World's avatar felt that it was lacking. He wanted more explanation.

"Shoo! I want to spend time with my husband."

Reavire appeared between Lawrend and the Eye. She gave him a warning glance as if she would genuinely hurt him if he didn't stop following Lawrend.

"H-Husband… and M-Maid…"

The Spirit World's avatar has been familiar with the concept of husband and wife since life in his world developed intelligence. After the soul contract, he also became familiar with the concept of a Maid Harem from Lawrend's memories.

So when all of those things were put together, the Spirit World didn't want to believe his hearing. He stared as the two of them slowly vanished over the horizon. He felt like the whole world had been flipped upside down.

"W-W-What kind of rizz does he have?"

For the first time in its billions of years of existence, the Spirit World felt outmatched.
