Combat Maid Harem

"Master…"

Valentina's tears fell. Their drops created small sproutlings on the ground.

"You are safe now."

After years of missing Valentina, Lawrend's tears gathered in his eyes. They fell behind Valentina, and Lawrend's powerful divinity nourished the soil. Who knew what kind of trees would grow here in the future? That would be a story for another time.

Valentina's return to life was a surprise for Lawrend. When he came to sit under the tree, he didn't have high hopes of any of them succeeding.

But once his hopes were riled, he tried everything he could to make it happen.

"Thank you for reviving me, Master."

Valentina looked at Lawrend with a smile. The memories she received allowed her to have a faint idea about the things that occurred after her death.

"You are my woman, right? You can't leave me that easily," Lawrend responded, sounding like a cheeky male actor.

"Hehehe. Are you going to marry me?"

Valentina stared at him with upturned eyes. Her chestnut colored hair and delicate face were a cute package altogether. Her voice sounded heavenly to Lawrend.

"It has been so long, but I never forgot my promise."

Lawrend once promised all his women that he would marry all of them someday. This was the day he married Valentina.

"Look at this. I'm already engaged to you."

Valentina raised her hand, and there was a ring made of tree resin on her ring finger. It glinted under the sun, and it was more beautiful than gold.

"Right. You accepted that as a tree."

"I didn't expect that to happen, Master. You couldn't let me go. Hehe~!"

Valentina's voice oozed with joy. She sacrificed herself to give him a chance to live and to make her other sisters happy, and she didn't factor in the chance of revival.

"Yes…"

Lawrend didn't want to say any more words. The thought of the time when she was dead filled him with sorrow.

"You're a god now. What are your plans?" Valentina asked.

She stared into his eyes. For some reason, she couldn't get her eyes away from them. They contained an infinite space containing vast amounts of energy.

"I will marry everyone else and maybe leave this universe."

"You're so cute, Master."

"W-what??"

"You are greedy."

"What do you mean?"

"You want all of us for yourself. You didn't want to leave me too…"

"And…?"

"I love you for that. I know you have your reasons." Valentina paused and released herself from his hug. "You are greedy for power because you want to protect your women, right?"

"Yes."

Lawrend wasn't sure what she tried to get at, but he was there to listen.

"You are greedy for women because you love maids, right?"

"Yes."

"So… do you really love us if we weren't your maids?"

Valentina's questions silenced Lawrend. He turned to Reavire and saw a calm smile on her face. She experienced a whole other universe with him, and she knew he truly loved her.

Lawrend returned his gaze to Valentina.

"To start to love someone, you need to be interested in them. I was interested in your beauty, and I wanted to make you to be my maid. Then, to love you, I protected you and gave you everything I could give. If you aren't my maid, I will not be happy. After all, I must fall in love with you again and again for every second to continue loving you.

"If you weren't my maid, I can't start to fall in love with you. That's just who I am."

A storm raged behind Lawrend. The wind fluttered his clothing as the world bowed to his words.

"I will be your maid forever, Master. I want you to love me at the same amount of time."

A light appeared behind Valentina. The brightness blinded Lawrend, and when it was done, she was gone.

Valentina stood in front of a white door. The aura of the universe spread from the cracks despite it being closed.

The Creator appeared in the sky above her. He looked down at the three of them with a smile.

"Lawrend, I congratulate you for reviving your woman."

"Thank you, Creator." Lawrend bowed. He felt a little guilty about the shouting he did earlier.

"Valentina, what kind of god do you want to be?"

Upon hearing the question, Valentina stopped moving. She closed her eyes, and an afterimage of a tree appeared behind her.

"I want to be a god serving my master—Lawrend. He revived me twice now. Once when my soul was split, and now from my dissipated soul."

The door opened, and the image of the whole universe appeared. It contained an infinite variation of Valentina, but there was only one where she was revived.

"Can you see it, Master? The universe is a mirror with infinite reflections. I felt it. I know I can create my own universe too…"

Valentina took a step forward with her semi-translucent body. She entered the doorway, and the aura of the universe surged into her soul body.

She was but a soul now, but it was the perfect vessel for natural laws.

A small seedling came out of her soul, and the vast natural laws congealed around it and formed a world. Its laws were centered around plant life, and strange plants that could control the four elements appeared.

One such plant released magma from its mouth. It was shaped like a cup, and there were many such plants, giving the sense that they were one whole volcano.

It was a unique world with Valentina as its god.

Valentina stepped out of the door and landed in front of Lawrend. Her aura had changed.

Her soul body had become physical, and she was no longer just a fragile soul. She became a Sub-God with the will to serve Lawrend forever.

"I saw it, Valentina."

Lawrend smiled at her. He saw the reason why infinity existed in the universe. Only a God like him could see it because he had a pseudo-universe inside of him.

"Is that a good dowry, Master?" Valentina asked, fashioning a shy yet confident smile.

The Creator hovered above Lawrend.

"Lawrend, remember our promise."

He vanished as quickly as he arrived.
