Reborn as an Evolving Space Monster: Harem Of Otherworldly Beauties

'I'm still unsure about some things, honestly…' Liz thought to herself. 'It does feel strange. Not because of how it is, but because of how okay with it I am. I mean… I didn't mind being with him even though I knew about Lith. Actually, even though I knew about Lith, I wanted us to… Maybe that's why. Maybe part of it is that because he was already with Lith, and that Lith didn't mind me… That I feel okay with Raya. Hm… Rea is another question but… In any case, it feels like I'm going against everything that society tells me… Still, it feels…' Liz directed her gaze towards Cero, who was walking by her side. She stared at his arm for a moment, before reaching for his hand. 'It feels right somehow…' She thought to herself as she held his hand in hers. 'I don't know how it'll go or what will happen but… I am excited about the ride.' Liz grinned as he turned towards her and smiled. 'Yeah…' The two walked hand in hand through the forest. 'I like this a lot. I like him a lot. I…'

Cero's free hand lay on the lower end of her cheek while his index finger pushed her earlobe upwards.

"It really looks great on you." He whispered. "And I love seeing you wear it."

Liz blushed slightly as she looked into his eyes.

She felt it was strange. It was strange how he could make her blush with his words despite the fact that they had been going at it for more than an hour, and had only stopped a couple of minutes ago.

'I don't… Want to see him with someone else.'

The thought suddenly crossed Liz's mind.

'I wonder if this is hypocritical, since I came after Lith.'

She shook her head, her hand slowly moving down his arm until reaching the hand against her cheek.

'No… It's the same with Lith. Even though I've known about them for a while, I've never seen them… Doing it. Beyond that, I've only seen them kiss once. And he kissed me right after that. But that was different… He was telling me about him and Lith, basically. Then… Does that mean that I don't mind as long as I don't see it? Hm… It would be similar to what he said. Yes, if we remain together after getting to Wor… Bedroom stuff stays separate. Yeah, I can live with that. Actually, that's… That's how it has been. He has been keeping bedroom stuff separate… So much so that I had no idea about Raya and Rea. Hm… I would call him a sneaky bastard, had he not told me. But he did. He told me about it even though there were very slim chances of me finding out. With complete honesty…'

Liz stroked his hand, before taking it into her own.

"Truth is… I'm not against joining in just because that would be gay." Liz muttered as she stared at his hand. "I don't want to see you with someone else and… Even though I would be a part of it, that still…"

"I understand." Cero nodded. "You don't have to explain yourself."

"So um…" Liz pursed her lips, still staring at his hand. "You're not into that, right? I mean… Group stuff?"

"Hm…" He scratched his head. "It depends on who it would be with, I suppose."

"Huh. How so?"

"Well," Cero's hand broke free from her grasp, and both of his hands reached her waist, pulling her closer. "The two of us don't need to add someone else to make it exciting, do we?"

Liz, almost dumbfounded, stared into his eyes with a surprised expression. She had asked a serious question, and hadn't expected to end up giggling.

"I'm asking seriously!"

"And I'm answering seriously!"

"Alright, then say I'm not part of it. Let's say… That it's Raya and Rea, suggesting… Nightly activities… Together."

"I don't know. It depends on how they feel about it. In any case, don't use them as an example."

"You're right, I'm sorry." Liz rubbed her forehead for a moment. "That was disrespectful…"

"Well, a bit of disrespect can be tolerated."

"Really? Why would that be? Am I special or something?"

"Of course you are." Cero answered honestly. "I do consider you as my wife, you know?"

"Even though we didn't have a marriage ceremony?"

"We did have a honeymoon."

"Yes," Liz chuckled. "I suppose… You could say that… Even though, well…"

"I haven't told them about you."

"Really? Why not?"

"Hm… Now that I think about it, maybe I should have."

"You consider me your wife yet you don't tell others about me?"

"Well, I thought that I should tell you about them before telling them about you… Hm… At the time, it felt like the right thing to do. Being honest with you first, you know? But now… Yes, I suppose I should tell about my wife before telling…"

Liz tapped his shoulder, causing his words to trail off.

"S…" She was blushing more intensely than ever. "Stop… Saying that so much."

"Saying what?"

"Well… Referring to me as…"

"As my wife? But it's how I see you. It's what I want you to be. My wife."

"You keep throwing that word around… What does it entail exactly? Being someone's wife?"

The Paru's lips slowly curled upwards into a gentle smile.

"I do not know."

"Huh?"

"We come from different places, and we have different ideas and thoughts about many things… I suppose what it means exactly is something I want us both to figure out. As well as what it entails for me to be your husband. What does it mean to be husband and wife exactly? I'm not sure, since it depends on where you're from, and countless other things. I want us to figure out the perfect mix between what you want, and what I want. I can't tell you what being A wife or A husband means. But we can figure out what it means to be MY wife and YOUR husband. We can figure it out together." The Paru nodded. "I want us to."

Liz remained silent for a while after, taking in what he had said.
