Aria asked Zach to get married together with Aurora.
"But… we are already married…" Zach uttered.
"Yeah, but it's different. I want to have a wedding ceremony," Aria uttered in a muffled voice.
"That's not what I meant." Zach stroked Aria's hair and said in a gentle voice: "We are already married, so what would happen if we marry again?"
"Oh…" Aria looked into Zach's eyes and nodded, "You are right."
"But if you do want to follow the custom and have a ceremony, then I don't mind. We can have a double ceremony with Aurora," Zach stated.
"Ahem!" Victoria cleared her throat to make her presence known. "How kind of you to plan out your wedding in a dire moment like this."
Zach looked at Victoria from the corner of his eyes and said, "How about we also get married? It will be a triple ceremony."
"Not happening." Victoria sighed and said, "I already told you that Aurora and Aria have a different mindset, and I respect that. For them, they are happy as long as they get your love and get to be with you. But for me, it's different. I want your love, and I want to be with you, but I have to take proper steps."
"I want to marry you too." She smiled wryly and said, "Believe me. There is no one in this world who loves you more than me."
"I wouldn't say that if I were you," Aria quipped. "You don't know how much I love him or how much Aurora loves him. On what basis are you claiming that you love him the most?"
"My love for him is natural," Victoria stated.
"My love is also natural."
'Stop it, Aria. You don't know Victoria very well yet. If you make her angry, then she is going to say something that would bring tears to your eyes,' Zach said to Aria using telepathy, but it seemed that it didn't work since Aria didn't stop glaring at Victoria.
Victoria furrowed her brows and said, "I am the only girl who knows him in real life. I am the only girl who has touched his real body. I am the only girl who has sucked him off in the real world. I am the only girl who had sex with him in the real world."
Victoria smirked and said, "No girl can compare herself with me. I have taken all the firsts of Zach, except kiss. I am Zach's number one. So learn your place."
Zach shook his head with a sigh after looking at Aria and Victoria.
'What did I say?" Zach said after looking at tears in Aria's eyes.
Aria and Victoria glared at each other for a few seconds and then averted their faces to the opposite sides after saying, "Hmph!"
"Great. They were getting along just fine not long ago, and now they are fighting…' Zach sighed.
Aria glanced at Victoria from the corners of her eyes, and Victoria did the same.
"You live in the past, while I am his future," Aria remarked.
"Past makes the future," Victoria asserted.
They both turned to Zach and said at the same time: "Zach, you say it. Who do you love more? Me/Aria or Victoria/Me?"
"Uhh.." Zach wanted to avoid answering that question at all cost since he himself had no idea about it. He loved everyone equally, and there was no way he would grade his girls.
"Let's not talk about who is in the past and who is the future. This is present, so let's enjoy it," Zach said with an awkward smile on his face. And surprisingly, it worked.
Aria and Victoria stared at each other for a few seconds. Then Aria said, "It's going to be fun when you join the harem."
"I am already in his harem," Victoria asserted. "But I am the exclusive harem member."
Victoria turned to Zach and said with an anxious look on her face: "I know you might find me annoying because I am not letting you make moves on me, and yet I am demanding attention. But please, try to understand me. It's not easy."
"Don't worry." Zach shot a smile at Victoria and said, "I rather find it amusing to see you act like that. It's like I am seeing a new side of you that I had never seen before."
When Zach and Victoria were dating, they fought on every small thing and made a big deal out of them. There was no understanding between them, which made them think that they didn't love each other and their relationship wasn't going well.
Victoria was currently anxious because she was being selfish. If it was old Zach, he would have started yelling at her, but Zach had changed now. Both Victoria and Zach had matured enough to understand how the relationship worked.
Victoria hugged Zach and said, "We are going to clear this game and go back to our world, right?"
"Obviously," Zach responded in a calm voice.
"But the real world doesn't allow polygamy…" Victoria uttered in a low voice.
"Fuck that. Who cares about worldly rules when we are fighting against heavens here?" Zach scoffed softly and said, "I won't be the first one to have a harem in the real world."
After seeing Zach hugging Victoria, Aria got jealous and hugged Zach from the other side.
Of course, Aria had always gotten jealous whenever a girl got close to him, but she couldn't do anything because she had no right to. But now that she was his harem member, she could show off her feelings and emotions openly without needing to hide them.
This was what Zach wanted. He wanted Aria to live her life as a normal girl.
After a short hug, Zach, Aria, Victoria, and 60 guild members passed through the portal and entered the 76th floor.
However, Zach was out of MP, so he couldn't partake in the fights. Instead, he went to Aria's domain and cultivated his MP.
