Against the Inevitable Destiny
Chapter 34 - Decision of May

Third POV

Riyu looked at Maya seriously, she was also preparing to untie her hand in case Maya told her of her condition.

It is actually very difficult to untie that bond and escape from Maya, but with her space energy and a few tricks in her hands, there is a chance to take Mei from there.

After that Ryu intends to tell what happened. It would change the plan he had set up earlier, but it was better than Mei who took the decision because of her condition.

Seeing Riyu's serious expression and her sharp and slightly changed eyes, Maya gripped her palm tightly. He tried to calm himself down and straighten out his resolve.

Maya may often annoy Ryu and sometimes play around with him, but the one thing she has always feared is Ryu's current expression.

His eyes were something that perhaps even the same existence as his would be slightly shaken. But what scared him was not his eyes, but his eyes and expression.

Riyu returned to a cold, serious, and indifferent expression, similar to Riyu in the past. Maya doesn't want to see Ryu again change like the past.

“Don't worry Riyu, I won't say anything you don't want."

Maya said with a smile.

However, even though he was smiling, he could not hide his slightly shivering body because of something.

Maya could not help but feel afraid of Riyu's expression. In her mind she didn't want Riyu to hate her, she was so scared to even just imagine it.

For Riyu, after she heard Maya's words, she observed Maya for a few seconds to confirm her words.

As for Mei who saw all that could only frown. There were many things on his mind, ranging from Maya's words, Ryu's expression, and their conversation.

He just silently watched them, waiting for them to finish making a decision. He did not want to interrupt their conversation as it would be a little troublesome.

“Hah... Well, I understand. But don't talk about my condition before Mei gives her decision.”

Riyu finally sighed after seeing the look in Maya's eyes. He's not actually angry. She understood why Maya did all this.

But that doesn't mean he'll approve.

“I understand.”

Maya nodded her head. He understood what Ryu said.

She also regained her composure after hearing Ryu's words. Although Riyu still had a serious expression, she became calmer so Maya was sure what she was afraid of did not happen.

“So can you tell me what you're talking about?”

Mei who had been silent started to speak with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Indeed, he seemed to be ignored by them, even though the main topic of their conversation was himself.

“Sorry for ignoring you, May. Actually, you don't need to think about our previous conversation. The point is we're waiting for your answer. What do you decide, are you willing to let me be Ryu's lover as well?"

Maya asked in May.

Before Mei gave an answer, Riyu also started talking.

"Honest with how you feel, Mei. If you don't like it, say no. If yes, say yes. I don't want to hurt you one bit. No lies are allowed here. I'll know if you're lying or not if you do."

“I understand your worries and I'm glad that you considered my feelings. But, even though you said it.. I've made up my mind long ago.”.

Mei said with an understanding smile.

“I already know Maya senpai's feelings and I also know a little about your personality. I may be jealous, but not because I refuse you to have someone else you love. In fact, for some unknown reason I felt it was natural for you to do so, making women fall in love with you. Therefore, regardless of what you guys are talking about, my decision has not changed, I do not refuse if you want to take Maya as your lover as well.”

Mei explained while having a slight expression of thought in between her words.

Challenge Mei, she is not a girl who knows nothing.

“May...”.

Maya can only say her name, not knowing what to say about Mei's explanation.

“.....”

Ryu was also in the same condition.

He did not expect such an answer from Mei so he could only freeze on the spot.

Previously Riyu thought that at least Mei would be a little hesitant or have a resistance. But, beyond his imagination he would accept the harem (although only Maya for now) so easily.

Riyu placed great importance on Mei's feelings from the very beginning. Her words about "right now all she loves is Mei" are the truth. And he doesn't want to hurt the people he loves, whatever it is.

After all, who would want to share his lover? Even if the world has lost most men and polygamy is allowed, still no one knows how a woman feels, whether she is really willing to share her lover or not.

Moreover, in Riyu's mind, Mei's words were also a bit strange.

‘Unknown feeling, is it similar to my feeling?’

Riyu spoke in her heart as she continued to stare at Mei.

"No need to look at me like that. Although I rarely talk to other people, I often pay attention to them, including you. And don't think too much about the strange words I said, shouldn't you be happy? Now, mr playboy?”

Mei smiled gently.

Then chuckled while pointing at Maya at the end of her words.

‘True, why did I think about such a troublesome thing.”

Ryu Thought.

When he thought about it, he also tried to untie the energy bonds using his dark energy. It did drain a lot of his energy because there was Maya energy as well, but it was worth what he would get.

Riyu lowered her head.

irrespective

Then he looked at Mei with an amused smile, looking at her like the meat the wolf was ready to eat.

Not long after that he moved very quickly, like teleporting. Later,

Riyu kissed Mei greedily.

As for Mei, she only scratched Ryu's chest for a while, before finally resignedly accepting her fate for the wolves to eat.

Some time later they let go of their kisses and just stared at each other for a few seconds.

“Ehem, you guys are not making out in front of me, at least for now.”

Maya said with dissatisfaction.

Mei and Riyu looked at her then looked at each other again. After that they both laughed softly.

The previously tense atmosphere again melted with their laughter.

……

……

“Ehem, can we start on the next topic. About your conversation, can you tell me more clearly. Does Ryu have a problem? Why from the conversation earlier, as if Riyu had a disease that could only be cured by having many wives?”
