Chapter 122 No problems with a harem!?

“…no problems even if you make a harem.”

“I have no problem either,” Lucy added from the side.

The reason both of them were so chill about Lith having a harem was, firstly, they had no interest in a person of the opposite gender and Lith was the only one for them. Secondly, they had faith in Lith. They believed that he would always love them more than he would love anyone else, just like how they loved him.

“What!? Are both of you out of your mind? No problem with a harem!? And wait, why are you encouraging me to make a harem in the first place!?” Lith asked in shock.

Were his mother and sister okay in the head? He thought to himself. Who in their right mind would suggest such a thing to the person they love?

Weren’t women supposed to be dramatic, possessive and jealous if another partner was involved? Wasn’t sharing a thing loathed by everyone? Why are these two acting like it’s just a casual thing?

Many questions popped up in Lith’s mind regarding it, making it a mess once again.

“No, baby. We are both fine. And also, why would there be problems? Do you not know that having a harem is normal in the world? Many men have a harem of beauties and many women have a reverse harem too. It’s very common.

If one has the strength and power to maintain a harem, why would they not? It’s not only limited to men and women. There’s even people—”

“I get it. I get it, mom. No need to explain further.” Lith interrupted his mother and said hurriedly. He roughly knew what she was going to say next and thus asked her to stop as he didn’t want to hear it.

He thought over his mother’s words for a good five minutes. Meanwhile, Lilith and Lucy didn’t disturb him, but just waited for him to think it through thoroughly and speak.

Lith sighed and calmed down. Only now did he realise that he was still thinking of this world as the same as his previous one, which was very wrong.

This was a world where magic, resurrection, reincarnation and many other bizarre things existed. It was a totally different world than what Earth was. People would naturally have different sets of beliefs too. Having a harem would be loathed upon if he was on Earth, but here, it made sense as to why it was normal.

If one is strong enough, they sure can make a harem without any qualms. The same thing also happened on Earth. Strong rulers generally had a harem. They had the power to do so.

But as time passed and technology developed, the concept of the harem died down. Beliefs changed, morals changed and so did the way of living for everyone.

This world was completely different. Here, one person could rule over a bunch of others as long as the person had a high magical rank. Women weren’t weak and there was no biological strength difference between a male and a female.

Anyone could be strong as long as they worked hard enough to cultivate their magic rank. Thus, the concept of harem stayed here, making it normal for men and women both to have harems.

Though Lith felt weirded out thinking about a woman having a reverse harem, as he pondered over it more, he realised, a woman having a reverse harem is no different than a man having a harem.

Both were the same with only the genders being switched. Even if he did understand so much, it didn’t mean he wasn’t weirded out. This world was still very new for him and he was still trying to adapt here.

No matter what one said, beliefs he learnt as a child in his previous life were ingrained in him and to eradicate them in order to fully blend with this world would take time.

Shoving aside those thoughts, he focused on the harem thing his mother talked about. He asked himself, ‘If I make a harem, will my mother and sister really be okay with it? Will they not be sad? What makes them say this so confidently?’

Lith looked at his mother, then at his sister and back at his mother and asked seriously, “Mom, big sis, you love me, right?”

“Of course I do, my baby.” Lilith wasn’t weirded out by such a sudden question from Lith as she knew he must’ve thought about something and was confirming a few things by asking questions, so she replied normally.

“I do.” Lucy added. She wasn’t weirded out for the same reasons as Lilith.

“So if I have a harem, no, not even that, let’s say I have a partner, do you not fear me not loving you two anymore?” Lith asked seriously.

Lilith and Lucy looked at each other and, “pfft…hahahahaha!”

Lith looked at them in confusion. He didn’t understand why they started laughing all of a sudden. Not holding back his curiosity, he asked, “why are you laughing, mom, big sis?”

“Because of how silly the question was,” Lucy said, giggling.

“How was it silly?” Lith asked, confused once again.

“Dear, who do you think I am?” Lucy asked with a smile.

“Hmm, yes, and who do you think I am?” Lilith too asked the same thing.

Lith rubbed his temples thinking of how stupid this conversation was getting. Nevertheless, he replied, “you’re my sister and you’re my mom. Anything else?”

“Correct. And me being your sister, I have taken care of you since your birth,” Lucy replied.

“I too did the same, plus I even gave you birth, hehe. Isn’t it interesting?” Lilith added.

“What has this got anything to do with the question I asked?” Lith asked, knitting his brows.

“It has got everything, baby. I gave birth to you and took care of you. Your sister took care of you too. We both know everything about you. We have faith and confidence in you. We believe in you. We know that you will never lessen your love towards us and always give us priority, even if you have thousands of women by your side.

You share an unbreakable bond with us. A bond deeper than anything one could ever think of. Now tell me, wasn’t your previous question silly?” Lilith said with a smile.

Lith raised his eyebrows as realisation dawned upon him. He teared up knowing the amount of faith his mother and sister had in him. They believed in him so much that he never even believed in himself at that level.

After a while of staying in such a position, Lith got back up. Lilith cleaned his face and gave him a kiss on his forehead. Following behind was Lucy, who did the same.

Lith looked at them and said seriously,

“Anyway, I want you to know, mom, big sis, that I don’t really have plans for starting a harem, but even if I do, I promise you that you both will be my highest priority no matter what. You believe in me so much, I will never let it be in vain.

I love you, mom, big sis, and I will always love you no matter what happens in the future. I promise you that I’ll continue to do so for now and forever.”
