Infinite Harem System: I Grow Stronger From Every Female Lead

"Huh? Why not?"

Arthur gazed at her dully. "Because I don't want to seem easy. Besides, my first wife would kill you if she heard about this."

Arthur tried to dismount the horse, but she gripped him tightly, her breathing becoming uneven. "Does it look like I care? Let's do it."

Arthur's expression flickered with surprise for a brief second.

"That was really hot," he murmured unintentionally.

Eliya's cheeks flushed crimson, and without hesitating, she kissed him again, causing Arthur, who wasn't well-balanced, to topple to the ground.

She pulled back, panting, her hand drifting to the buttons of his military-style uniform. "Just make me your concubine, slave, or whatever, but please date me. I don't want to be alone anymore."

'She's truly a lonely soul,' Arthur thought, puzzled at how someone so gorgeous could feel alone.

But he already understood why.

Eliya was a woman with an impossibly specific type.

And it just so happened that he matched every single one.

'She has time affinity, which is rare, is obsessed with me, and can enhance my stats.'

If he didn't accept Eliya, then he'd be a fool. No better than those clueless protagonists.

But the fact remained: he wasn't ready to add another wife when he hadn't even gotten Ellie, Cassie, and Isabella back.

Arthur flipped their positions so that he was now on top.

Eliya's breath quickened with every passing second as she ran her fingers through Arthur's hair.

"Eliya, I can't marry or propose to you. I'm sorry."

Eliya's hand trembled slightly in his hair, but he wasn't finished. "But…" he continued, "we can have a strange relationship, where we're dating but not married."

He raised a finger. "Like friends with benefits."

Eliya tilted her head. "Until I find another man?"

Arthur stared at her. "What's mine is mine and can never belong to someone else."

The beautiful elf's eyes welled up. "Aren't you being a bit too harsh with me?"

Arthur winced at her words. 'That does sound a little harsh.'

But he wasn't about to reveal his shaken side. "Yes, I am." He then asked, "So, do you agree to never get married and just be my friend with benefits forever?"

There was a high chance she'd reject it.

'Unlike my eight wives… wait, the count has reached eight?'

Arthur's brain briefly disconnected from the conversation before he snapped back.

Eliya stared at him in disbelief. "Is that even a question?"

Then she said the most unexpected thing:

"I totally agree to being your mistress."

"What?"

She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him close. "Well, I think you're my significant other even if you think otherwise."

Arthur's stunned look melted into a grin. "Alright then, my mistress, how exactly are you going to deal with my wives?"

Eliya chuckled. "Leave that to me."

She licked her lips. "Can we do it now? I want to lose my two-hundred-year virginity already."

Arthur swallowed hard.

Aside from Nathira, he hadn't done it with any of his wives.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but even holding hands and cuddling had been pushing their limits.

'This is why I like to stay away from older women.'

Eliya spread her legs, causing his manhood to brush against her core.

She cupped her mouth as soft moans slipped from her lips. "Can we start?"

Arthur averted his gaze. "Doing it in class might be a little too thrilling."

"But I want to."

Arthur slowly rose to his feet. "Why don't we have dinner at your place tonight?"

Eliya was about to reply but closed her mouth quickly, as if just processing his words.

Then she beamed.

"Yes."

Arthur hopped onto the horse and extended his hand to Eliya, who had just gotten up. "Then let's go before people think you abducted me."

Eliya smiled and jumped on behind him, pressing her chest into his back. 'I love hot bad boys.'

『 Eliya's affection for you has passed the first threshold 』

---

The rest of the day's classes flew by quickly.

Maybe due to the change in goddess, the academy had become significantly busier, and with Nathira no longer a teacher but now a third-year, things had grown even more complicated.

Because of that, Arthur hadn't spent much time with his wives. They weren't even in the same year, to begin with.

"Isabella isn't even in the academy."

Arthur sighed.

He had just returned from visiting Nathira, and as with every day that past week, she had been tied up.

Between her new role as council president, her club, and her investigation into what the goddess Tessia was scheming with the principal, who also retained her memories, she barely had time.

"Thank you, come again."

Arthur gave a polite nod to the convenience store owner as he strolled through the academy's streets.

It was already 7 o'clock, meaning most students were likely back in their dorms.

But since the academy permitted all types of relationships, everyone being adults from prestigious families meant to be the best of the best, Arthur and others had the freedom to move around as they pleased.

'This is Eliya's building, right?'

At Central Academy, teachers were housed in a luxurious apartment complex that put high-class Earth homes to shame.

Arthur glanced at the small nylon bag with food and drinks in his hand and stepped into the building.

When he had told Nathira he was going to his teacher's room, she had only said one thing:

"Don't forget your wives come first. And milk her for all she's worth."

'It still feels strange being allowed to do these kinds of things in a relationship.'

His wives were truly the best.

Upon reaching the fourth floor, Arthur looked for the room labeled "447".

"This is it, right?"

And as if she had been waiting, Eliya opened the door gently the moment he knocked.

"Hi…" she said timidly.

Arthur nearly choked at the sight of what she was wearing.

A black lingerie set that did nothing to conceal her skin. Her hair wasn't in its usual ponytail, but flowed freely as water droplets trailed down her body.

Eliya looked at him, panicking. 'Did I go too far? Was this too much? Does he think I'm weird now?'

The green-eyed elf stepped back with an awkward laugh. "Sorry, just one—"

Before she could shut the door, Arthur blocked it. "Teach, what on earth are you wearing?"

"Um… this is…" She glanced at him with watery eyes. "I know I'm not young anymore."

She fidgeted with her fingers. "But… does it look bad on me?"

Arthur entered the room and closed the door behind him. "You look insanely hot."
