“Hmm… So you’re saying that if you don’t seduce other women and make them fall in love with you, they will die? And your level is 17, but this one is fake?” Selene’s expression was a complex mix of disbelief and incredulity, her eyes wide as if she had just heard something utterly unimaginable and absurd.
“…. Yes,” Aether responded, his voice barely above a whisper, filled with a sense of resignation.
He wrapped his arms around her waist, feeling the comforting warmth of her body as she sat on his lap, her presence grounding him.
Aether had finally decided to come clean with her….. He didn’t want to cause any emotional burden and he knew Selene deserved to know the truth about him, no matter how bizarre or painful it might be. The thought of deceiving her any longer was unbearable.
He also felt an urgent need to be transparent with her now…. fearing that if he didn’t, something catastrophic might happen later.
The idea of Selene’s Yandere tendencies intensifying further filled him with a profound sense of dread. He loved her too much to let things escalate to a dangerous level.
Actually, he wasn’t lying to begin with. He had been forced into this situation, compelled to seduce others as a means of survival. So… Let’s blame the Log!!
Hell Yeah!!
But above all else… he truly loved this Yandere woman with every fibre of his being!
“Sigh…” Selene let out a deep, weary sigh, feeling her brain short-circuit after hearing everything that sounded so ludicrous. Yet, as she recalled the past, the pieces of the puzzle began to fit together. Everything that had happened to Aether started to make an uncanny sort of sense.
His rapid growth, his unique and unpredictable fighting style, his emotional instability, and his inexplicable attachment to other girls.
“I see…”
“Do you believe me?” Aether asked, his voice tinged with doubt… Even he could hardly believe the story he was telling her.
“Are you lying to me?” she asked, her eyes searching his for any sign of deceit or insincerity.
“Of course not…”
Hearing that, Selene’s face softened, her eyes filled with a mixture of love and determination. She mumbled, “Then I will… always believe in you.”
Aether blinked, He lowered his chin onto her shoulder and mumbled, “You love me that much?…. A guy who is a worthless fellow, chasing other women to save his ass, hurting, manipulating, older than you… You still love me?”
Selene didn’t answer immediately. She just stared at his fake log, her mind racing. She had so many questions, and yet, her love for him was so overwhelming that she still believed in and loved him deeply.
“Aether…”
“Hmm?”
“You said you need to seduce 10 women to remove the eternal slave mark, right?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly. Even though she couldn’t believe there was a way to remove the eternal slave mark, she wanted it desperately.
She wanted him to be free more than anyone else in this world! She wanted him to act on his free will. She could still vividly remember how he had been an egoless toy, a memory that made her heart ache and brought her to tears many nights.
If there was a way… even if it meant sacrificing her life… she would do it, just for him!
“Yes”
“If… if by any chance my name had appeared before… would you have seduced me?” She asked as she glanced back at Aether, her eyes filled with a mix of hope and fear, her heart pounding in her chest.
Aether stared into her eyes before sighing deeply and shaking his head. “I cannot… You loved me before, idiot. I cannot hurt you… I am not that heartless.”
“Even if it means you won’t achieve freedom and… I will die, right?” she pressed on, her voice breaking with emotion.
“Yes, even if it means I never achieve my freedom… I won’t let you die,” he said with conviction, hugging her tightly, his arms a protective barrier around her, letting her know that he would protect her at any cost, no matter the personal sacrifice.

“I see…” Selene’s lips curled up into a small, relieved smile. Actually, she had been hoping he would say he would seduce her because she wanted to see his hard work for him. And yet, when he said this… she felt a profound sense of relief and happiness, tears welling up in her eyes.
“You know… I was hesitating to give you this before,” Aether said, his voice filled with nervous anticipation. He took a small black mixed-blue ring from his pocket and awkwardly handed it to her, “I bought this with my own money…”
Selene simply stared at him before asking, “When?”
“Well, a week ago”
“I see…” She glanced back at Aether, who wore an awkward expression as if he was hesitant about something. She giggled inwardly, ‘A week ago, doesn’t that mean he already loved me and was scared to say it… hehehe… He never changes…’ She asked him to put the ring on her ring finger on her left hand.
Aether was surprised and shocked, but he knew she was determined and serious, so he asked one last time,
“Are you fine with me? I am pretty sure there are a lot of better guys who would solely focus on you… Unlike me, who would have to chase after other women, which might hurt you a lot, and I don’t t–”
“I love Aether, that’s all!” she interrupted, her voice firm and unwavering.
“Useless? I don’t care.”
“Other guys? I don’t give a fuck about them!”
“Chase after other women? Well… I will help you gain freedom…. sigh, whatever the sacrifice needs to be!”
“Infertile? Then I will be your baby, and you will be my baby!!”
Hearing that especially that last one, Aether’s body trembled, tears threatening to spill from his eyes, ‘Damn, girl… What the hell… Man… She is tough!’ Aether screamed inwardly as he saw Selene lifting her finger, waiting for him to put the ring on.
Aether slowly slid the ring onto her middle finger and softly mumbled, “Even if you don’t mind this cheap ring, I want to give you a ring that no one else has in these worlds… Only just for you so let’s leave a room for that…”

Selene’s lips curled up as her ears turned bright red. She felt a surge of emotions…. love, joy, and a deep sense of belonging and security.
Aether then pulled her tightly against him, her back leaning on his chest, and held her like a koala. He looked at her with possessive, loving eyes and said,
“I love you, Selene Frostblade… From the bottom of my heart, I want you to be happy more than anything!”
‘Ba-Dump’
Selene’s heart froze for a second when she felt the sincerity of his words. There was no lie; she could feel his heart beating faster than ever. Her face instantly flushed, and in that moment, she could feel his profound love for her….. Those possessive eyes were almost the same as hers…..
That was enough to dissolve her final insecurity, filling her with an overwhelming sense of happiness, peace, and a deep, abiding love that she knew would last forever…

‘WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!!!!’ Aether screamed inwardly, ‘Log, are you broken?!!!!’
Aether, with a horrified expression, looked down and saw Selene sitting on his lap, her back leaning against his chest. Her lips were curled into an uncanny smile as she giggled a few times, nodded, and giggled again, her eyes sparkling with a strange, almost maniacal intensity.
‘Gulp’
“Aether,” she said, her voice dripping with a mixture of curiosity and something more sinister, a playful yet dangerous edge to her tone.
“Y-Yes?” Aether replied, his heart pounding in his chest, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, ‘Feels like everything going circling around…’ he thought.
“I’ve been thinking… All you need to do is seduce 10 women, right?” Her voice was sweet, too sweet!
“… Yes”
“Well, I wondered, I mean hypothetically…” she trailed off, her voice taking on an eerie quality that sent shivers down his spine, each word dripping with calculated malice.
‘Fucked up!!’ he thought, his mind racing with alarm. He knew when ‘hypothetically’ came from a Yandere, it was a serious fuck up!!
Selene continued, her tone unsettlingly calm, “After you seduce 10 women and get freed from the curse… Even if they die… hypothetically died, nothing happens to you, right?”
Aether was frozen like a statue, his mind struggling to process her words, even he never thought that!!…
Suddenly,

“S-Sel, I got som–”
“Aether, something has been hitting my ass for a long time, you know?” Selene said with an innocent face as she wriggled her hips on Aether’s crotch, her eyes filled with a mischievous glint, the corners of her mouth twitching upwards in a sly grin.
“S-Sel, Why don’t we take our tim–”
“Even though I prepared myself for this day…” Selene said with a gloomy tone, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts, ‘I cannot lose this chance. Who knows what bitches would use a trick to entice him and take his virginity… I’m glad he saved himself until now… So I need to do it before anyone else!’ she resolved inwardly, her determination hardening like steel.
She had indeed planned for this day, and there was no way she would lose this opportunity after he confessed his feelings and… even offered her a ring!!
She wanted to make this an unforgettable day, a memory seared into both their hearts forever.
“Are you sure?” Aether asked one more time, his voice filled with genuine concern and hesitation. He wanted to make sure she was ready, that she truly wanted this as much as he did.
“Tsk, what? You grab other women’s asses without hesitation… What are you scared of?” she retorted, her tone tinged with annoyance. She felt Aether was asking too many questions instead of performing his duty, her patience wearing thin.
Veins popped on his forehead….
“Little Girl!~”
Suddenly, Selene flinched at the sound of his seductive voice, a shiver running down her spine. She gulped and turned to see a predatory gaze in his eyes, his lips curling into a seductive smile as Aether licked his lips and said, “It’s not about me to begin with… Today, I’m telling you, I am at my peak, so…
I might break you~” he warned her sternly, his voice low and husky, filled with a raw, primal desire.
“….. Then break me~”
