Chapter 375: Presentation

Chapter 375 – Presentation

It was the first time Noah had seen, since he’d known them, Aurelia and Asaemon actually being on the same wavelength.

An interesting sight, he must admit, though it would’ve been a far greater experience if it hadn’t happened because the two of them were equally annoyed by him.

They didn’t stop complaining. With Virgo in the mix, it was unbearable.

Asaemon’s skin was tanner now, and he wore furred clothes he claimed were a gift from his black friends for his departure. He’d cried back then, saying how much he would miss them, even asking if he could take them into his own realm.

Noah had given him a dead stare, silently daring him to try and take his soon-to-be people.

As for Aurelia, after her first wave of irritation over him constantly interrupting her reading sessions, she’d immediately gotten excited and began rambling about the books she’d read.

Her face was glowing, and a wide, foolish smile — one befitting a child — stretched across her lips.

She told Noah she’d read the Red Rising series, and that she both hated and loved the author dearly. She hated him for killing her favorite characters every time, and loved him for writing such great books. Then she’d asked Noah if she could kill him and revive him back.

Noah had smiled wryly at that statement, finding his sister sometimes even more impulsive than Asaemon.

But that wasn’t the only thing she had read, it seemed. She had gone through all the novels he’d told her about...the one about the slave, the one about the demon, the one about the reader, but...

"I didn’t find that novel though," she’d said, finger on her lips and head tilted slightly to the right, "the one you said you liked particularly very much..."

She looked genuinely sorry for not having read something her brother loved.

Noah immediately knew which book she was talking about the one that was, in truth, his own life he had once narrated as a story.

He smiled and brushed it off, telling her it was okay. But in the back of his mind, a strange thought began to sprout, one he hadn’t expected.

Where was the novel he had reincarnated into?

The moment the question surfaced, he acted. He searched for it on the internet using his own power, without letting anyone know.

He remembered the title clearly.

The Goddess’s Champion is Her Lover.

He found nothing.

He frowned. There weren’t even the first fifty free Chapters he remembered reading. It was as if the novel had been completely erased.

’You know why?’ Noah asked Providence.

[There could be many reasons. Either the book has fulfilled its purpose and now it’s gone, or when you reincarnated there, you gave it life and so it ceased to be a book.] she answered.

Noah frowned. ’How does that make sense?’

[Hardly anything makes sense in this universe, Noah.]

Noah clicked his tongue inwardly and nodded. He needed to think more about it later, but for now, he shook his head, not lingering on the thought. Not at that moment, not when his wives were calmly standing behind him, waiting for him to present them to his siblings, but also...

"She is really red-skinned," Alice said softly. But even her gentle tone made Virgo’s insides waver in shock.

Her crimson eyes bore deep into Alice’s, only to find the latter just an inch from her face, smiling peacefully and leisurely.

’Since when was she this close?’ Virgo screamed inwardly. She didn’t know why, but she felt a great wave of intimidation as the gazes of all those silver-haired women fixed on her, their differently shaped and colored eyes piercing through her like polished blades.

She felt as though she was being scrutinized, as if they were silently judging her worth.

’Worthy of what?’

Virgo didn’t need to be a genius to know the answer. Slowly, she turned her head toward Noah and saw him smiling at her sweetly before stepping beside her.

"Alice, why are you using your power on Virgo?" Noah asked.

Alice only shrugged. "Curious about her strength," she said simply, "And I barely used anything."

Noah sighed and shook his head, then raised his hand and pointed toward Virgo. "Elizabeth already snitched on me, but here’s the official presentation."

"Ladies, here Virginia Ti Raneth, a sweet, kind, and dreamy woman. She wields the power of ruin, and yet the only thing she’s ever liked to ruin is a PlayStation console and bunch of candy."

Virgo’s lips twitched.

"Take good care of her," Noah finished, then pointed toward his wives. "Virgo, these are my wives. Don’t be intimidated by their fearsome eyes, they’re actually gentle on the inside. Except Anya. Don’t be fooled by her cute appearance, she’s the devil. Though her power is somewhat similar to yours, so you might relate to her."

Anta cried out in outrage.

"Sari too, she’s an actress who likes to act shy. But she’s not. And don’t mind Dominique and Lilith, everything that comes out of their mouths is filth incarnate. You might feel weird at first, but you’ll get used to it, trust me."

The girls stifled a laugh.

"As for the rest, I trust you’ll get to know them on your own. But here, Selene, my mother."

Virgo’s eyes widened. Not only hers, even Asaemon and Aurelia’s eyes went wide.

"Yes, yes, don’t be surprised," Noah said casually. "My mother is my wife."

Selene smiled faintly. "Pleased to meet you," she added.

The wives smiled in unison.

Virgo was overwhelmed. She seemed frozen until...

"We won’t eat you," Zara said, sensing the turbulent emotions swirling within her. "We’re sisters now, sharing the same man. Let’s get along," she added, taking Virgo’s hand and gently pulling her toward the others.

At that moment, Noah continued

"And you must already be aware, but these two are the rumored siblings. The rumored abominations."

"Don’t be intimidated by their titles," Noah scoffed. "These two don’t reflect any of what their names suggest."

Asaemon laughed. "Nice to meet you, sisters-in-law!" he said with great enthusiasm, then turned toward Selene. "Hey, what should I call you? No, wait! Can I call you mo—!"

"I will kill you."

"Don’t you fucking dare."

Selene and Noah cut him off instantly, both glaring at Asaemon as if daring him to finish the sentence.

Asaemon only laughed harder, clearly amused. He raised both hands in mock surrender. "Easy, easy! Why so hard on me?" he chuckled. "Sister-in-law it is, then!"

"I’m the tired big sister of the two," Aurelia introduced herself wearily, and somehow...

"We understand you."

"Noah’s already troublesome, but the big brother seems worse."

"Must be hard taking care of the two."

Hearing so many women immediately empathizing with her, Aurelia was almost moved to tears. She had been surrounded by loneliness and troublesome men for so long that seeing so many women she didn’t instantly despise filled her chest with quiet warmth.

"Thank you!" Aurelia said, her voice trembling, eyes glistening with emotion.

Justicia, Shadeva, and Elira watched the scene with quiet wonder.

"If years ago someone had told me I’d meet the two abominations, hear them call me sister, and even say thank you..." Justicia muttered, "...I would’ve killed that person a million times over for taking me for a fool."

Shadeva shook her head. "I understand you. Being with Noah is such an interesting thing."

Elira smirked. "And do you know what?" she said. "There’s still so much left to see, my dear sisters. Noah told us he intends to revive Mother Maryam and that means..."

"Spirit World," Justicia and Shadeva said in unison.

Elira’s smile widened. "You know my power over souls, so you can imagine how eager I am to meet the Watcher of Souls."

They smiled together, excited, yet apprehensive of what was to come.

"Will it be alright, you think?" Justicia asked, glancing toward Elizabeth as she spoke calmly with Aurelia. "Will Noah really be able to keep up with all of our problems?"

"He’s done it before," Shadeva replied softly. "He’ll keep up. And besides, aren’t we all here?"

They smirked together.

"To touch our husband is to touch us."

"And anyone who wants to kill our husband must kill all of us first," Shadeva said, voice cold and serious.

"We will be his shield," Justicia said. "We will be his weapon too, as he has always been for us."

Elira’s lips curled upward as she watched Noah and Asaemon banter like two brothers. Their smiles softened and turned fond and sweet, like mothers watching their son play with friends and laugh.

"You know..." Elira said, voice like soft snow, "...I am happy to meet all of you. I’m happy to get to know you, Justicia, you’re just a masochist, but you’re not too bad." She snickered at the end.

Justicia scoffed, but couldn’t suppress a smile. "And you’re an anal lover. That’s why your ass is so wide like a pit."

Elira’s lips twitched.

Shadeva burst into laughter, only to fall silent at Elira’s next words "Why are you laughing? Do you dare to do that after begging Noah to—!"

Shadeva moved in a flash and plastered her hand over Elira’s mouth.

"Shut up, we have guests," she hissed, embarrassed.

Elira only smirked, intending to continue but forced into silence with a clap of Noah hands,

"Now, let’s start the process." He said.
