*Ais's POV*
*Some time earlier*
I woke up thinking about Luan again today. I remembered the conversation I had with him and shook my head, trying to get those images out of my mind. Then I got up and went to the bathroom.
As soon as I looked in the mirror, I noticed dark circles under my eyes.
'I've never had these before.' I sighed and washed my face before brushing my teeth. After getting ready, I went downstairs, and as soon as I reached the main hall, I ran into Goddess Loki.
"Good morning," I said.
"Good morning… Huh?" She turned to look at me, and when she saw my face, she was surprised. "What happened to you? Why do you have dark circles under your eyes?"
"I didn't sleep very well last night."
"Did something happen?" she asked, clearly worried.
"Nothing serious happened."
"Come on, tell me." She knows I'm lying.
Huff~~ I sighed and told her, "I talked with someone I really like. In the end, I'm not sure if he likes me the same way I like him." I'm not sure if he really feels the same.
Luan said he wants me by his side, but he'll also have many other women with him. I'm not the only one. That shows I'm not really important to him. I'm just 'another woman.'
"..." The Goddess was speechless after hearing what I said. "You like someone? What? Did I hear that right? I'm not going crazy, am I?" She looked pale.
"Yes…" I said, looking at her seriously.
"..." She stayed silent for a while, then turned around. After thinking for a moment, she turned back to me with a serious expression. "Don't tell me you're in love with that person." When she said 'that person', I immediately thought of Luan.
"..."
"You must be joking." The Goddess's eyes widened like never before, and she placed her hands on her head. Then she walked over and grabbed my shoulders. "What did he do to you? Tell me right now!"
"?" I tilted my head, not understanding what she meant.
Tsk!
The Goddess clicked her tongue and started saying a bunch of things. But her words went in one ear and out the other — I was completely ignoring her. I didn't want to hear any of it.
She began saying unpleasant things about Luan, things she probably made up herself.
She just wants me to stay away from him so I won't get hurt again. Yes, I'm sure that's it.
"Goddess, it's fine," I said, slightly lifting the corners of my lips. "I trust him."
The Goddess slowly closed her eyes and let go of my shoulders. Then she turned around and walked toward the sofa. After sitting down, she said once again, "Stay away from that man."
But again, I ignored her words.
I've never disobeyed her before — this will be the first time.
I'm sorry, but I just can't stay away from him.
It was then that my heart began to accept the idea of being part of a harem.

*Luan's POV*
A few days passed, and Ais and Tiona still hadn't come to talk to me after what happened. Fortunately, I didn't receive a message from the system saying that Ais's mission had failed, so everything's fine — for now.
Over the past few days, the only things I've been doing are writing, having sex, and preparing for the wedding.
First, we started the renovations for the ceremony and the wedding party venues.
We talked with the people in charge, and the renovations began some time ago. They should be finished in about a week at most.
We've also already taken care of the food and drinks — Hestia handled everything.
She got in touch with a restaurant and also a bar that agreed to provide all the beverages for the party. The only thing left now is to make the wedding invitations and send them to a few people.
We don't have many people to invite, so we'll be making only a small number of invitations.
Right now, I'm heading to the library to deliver a few volumes to Elma.
I've written up to volume 15 of Re:Zero and up to volume 15 of Overlord.
Besides that, I've already finished the entire story of Romeo and Juliet. I wrote five volumes in total. The whole story was basically original — I didn't copy anything except the names and the basic premise.
The big problem now is… I've only read Overlord up to volume 16, so I don't know how the story ends. I'll have to continue it with original material. Since my "Writer" skill has leveled up a lot, I think I can handle that.
Actually, I think I can buy the remaining Overlord volumes using my computer.
'I'll do that later.'
I walked to the library this time instead of teleporting there.
As I got closer, my readers began to gather around me. I greeted some of them, even signing several autographs. I can't keep avoiding them forever, right?
With a smile on my face, I kept greeting people and signing books until I finally entered the library.
As soon as she saw me, Elma started shouting:
"Move aside! Let him through! You're bothering the author! Move! Move!" The people stepped aside, and I finally managed to get behind the counter and into the meeting room.
Once inside, I sat down, feeling exhausted.
Elma brought me a glass of water.
"Why did you do that? You should've just teleported!"
"I thought it would be fun," I replied, then drank the entire glass of cold water.
"What brings you here today? Is it about the wedding?"
"Yes, but I also came to give you something."
I took several manuscripts out of my storage.
