"Could you lower your sword, lady?"

"First answer my question,"

I gave a charming smile, but Lianne looked at me coldly. My back was already sweating cold, suddenly vines attacked us from above. This is my chance to run away from her, what I didn't expect was that Lianne didn't give up, she slash my head, luckily I managed to dodge and it only cut my ear.

'This woman has no mercy,'

I winced, luckily I was able to regenerate my ears, and also I didn't feel any pain at all. Right after that, I made my body invisible, Lianne was surprised to see me suddenly disappearing from her sight. She became alert looking around, knitting her brows, she slashed somewhere. A spatial crack like an incision was visible there before it disappeared, I got goosebumps looking at this.

If I was cut neatly by her sword, it would be terrible, luckily she just slashed in the wrong direction, just like the name Invisible Miracle Stone. Even someone as strong as her doesn't know where I am.

"I'm sorry beautiful lady, but I have to save my woman now, bye,"

Lianne was surprised to hear a voice near her ear, she immediately slashed her sword backward, but there was nothing there. This was the first time anyone had been able to escape from her attacks.

"Who was a boy just now? Even if he's invisible, I should be able to feel his presence, but strangely I can't feel anything from him,"

Lianne was surprised, she had met many people who had the ability to disappear from sight. But no matter how strong the ability to be invisible was, it would definitely leave traces like footsteps, breath, wind, or air of existence. This was the first time she had seen impossible, where all those things disappeared as if they never existed. She was getting more and more attracted to a boy who was able to run away from her.

"This is interesting." A faint smile appeared on Lianne's face.

If other people saw this, they would be both fascinated and surprised, because Lianne never had a smile aside from her family.

-----

[Phew, Master you survived sadistic woman]

"I didn't expect her to come here either. Feeling her power, I believe she is at Rank A, if I didn't have Invisible Miracle Stone, I might have died in her hands."

Thinking back on Lianne's attack earlier, I should be more careful with this woman. I have to have the same strength as her, then I can try to get close to her, I'm afraid that if something happens, she will cut my body right away.

"Since Barclay is dead, let's just blow up bandit gang's headquarters, I don't want them to finish their spell,"

I pressed the button and an explosion was heard, though not audible since I was currently inside a forest of vines.

After blowing up the bandit gang base, I ran aimlessly looking for Alice in this forest of vines. I'm very worried about her, especially if she meets Lianne. Whatever happens, I have to save Alice immediately.

{AAAARRRRRRRRRHHHHHHH KILL, I WANT THIS WORLD TO BE DESTROYED}

I heard screams not far from my position. The scream came from the big tree top, it was in the highest place there. Although this scream didn't sound like Alice's voice, I knew it must be her.

"Alice what happened to you!?"

I quickly climbed the tree, with an invisible body, all vines ignored me. Arriving at the tree, I was surprised. This place was like a flower garden, but all that was here were roses as red as blood, with poisonous thorns as their stems.

Alice was currently wrapped in vines in the middle of this flower field, her eyes closed with tears of blood dripping from them. Seeing Alice's current state, my heart ached.

'Was what I've been doing wrong? Should I quit and just have Alice alone?'

[Master, I know what you are currently thinking, but past is past. From the very beginning, since you were in this world, there was no way you would have one woman. Even before you met Alice, you had three women waiting for you. You have to properly explain your situation to her, if you still love your woman, or you leave everything and only have Alice, would you like??]

Hearing what Woli said, my resolve returned. It's true that if I only wanted one woman, it would probably be Silvie. Because she was the first woman I met and also she was my childhood friend. But since I chose the path of making a harem, I can't turn around anymore and I don't want to turn around either. Even if given repetition, I would still choose this path.

If I don't choose this path, many people will suffer, Yua will remain in ruins until someone finds her. Shelly and her party were about to become objects of an experiment by a mad scientist, and it was me who saved them, but it would be too late.

Because without Qilin Father's help, I wouldn't have met them. If I didn't have the desire to create a harem, I wouldn't have gone to ruins where Yua was, and just waited until the academy started. And then Shelly and her party will not survive.

I'm so grateful to have chosen this path, if I hadn't chosen this path, I wouldn't have met Alice either. She is the most important woman in my life, I don't want her to go through bad things just because of me, I want her to be happy, even if I have to sacrifice myself.

"Thank you Woli, you are always there at critical times like this,"

[Hehehe, of course, Master, I will always be there to help you] Woli said proudly.

Steeling my mind, I erased invisible ability. Walked towards Alice who was already wrapped in vines. I won't let her feel this pain alone. Past rose covered with thorns, my body was hurt and pain radiated from my wound.

I wanted to feel the same pain Alice felt, so I deactivated this 'Berserk Mercilessly' it might look like a fool, having a painkilling ability, but didn't use it at all.

As I was about to reach the cocoon of vines, vines protected cocoon. They wrapped tightly around me, I hissed in pain feeling thorns stabbing deep into my skin, but I ignored all of this and continued forward to cocoon.

More and more vines tie my body even to my face, my body is currently bathing in my own blood. Arriving in front of Alice, I held her face, she had tears of blood, her face was pale her expression was sad.

"Alice, please wake up, I love you, I never betrayed you, I will explain everything,"

But there was no reaction at all from her, our foreheads touched. Blood dripped down Alice's face, blood on my hands also hit her face, I smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Alice, please wake up,"

Alice frowned, she slowly opened her eyes looking at me. Immediately Alice gaped in surprise, seeing me covered in blood.
