Chapter 12 - Chapter 9

The Following Years — The Runcandel Household Grows Stronger

Time passed in the newly revived Runcandel mansion—three years of growth, training, and chaos.

And one thing became painfully obvious:

Everyone in the mansion adored Keith.

Grayfia, Gamma, Albedo, Scathach, and even little Rias were incredibly clingy, each in their own way.

Grayfia always appeared behind Keith the moment he needed anything—tea, books, meals, or even a blanket if the wind blew too strongly. Gamma hovered with financial reports, offering suggestions every time Keith even glanced at a newspaper. Albedo refused to let Keith walk anywhere without her hovering like a mother hen—just with a dangerously passionate smile. Scathach trained him but also kept him within arm's reach, calling him "my pupil" with an unsettling amount of pride. Rias, now energetic and bold, practically glued herself to Keith's side—hugging him, holding his hand, or climbing onto his lap without hesitation.

Luna watched all of this every day.

And one afternoon… she snapped.

Luna's "Private Meeting"

Keith was in the courtyard practicing his Ope-Ope techniques when he noticed Luna approach the maids and summons.

"Grayfia. Gamma. Albedo. Scathach. Rias. Come with me."

All five blinked—then followed her into a private room.

Keith tilted his head.

"...What are they doing?"

He had no idea.

Inside the room, however…

A very serious meeting was happening.

Luna's expression was calm—but her amethyst eyes glowed like a blade.

She stood at the head of the table.

"We need to talk about Keith."

Five powerful women went silent.

Luna continued, voice steady:

"Let's not pretend we don't all love him."

Everyone tensed.

Rias blushed scarlet.

Gamma looked away.

Albedo smiled as if she'd been caught red-handed.

Grayfia's cheeks turned faintly pink.

Scathach simply nodded.

Luna placed a hand over her heart.

"I am his fiancée—and future first wife. This was decided by our parents. I won't give that position up."

The air grew heavy.

But then—

"I am willing," Luna said softly, "to share Keith with all of you."

The five women's eyes widened.

Luna smiled warmly.

"But you must accept that I will be first wife. You all will be his fellow wives."

There was silence.

Then—

Grayfia was the first to bow.

"I accept."

Gamma nodded vigorously.

"I have no objections."

Albedo smiled brilliantly.

"As long as I can love him, I accept everything."

Scathach simply said,

"Understood."

Rias, cheeks pink, whispered,

"I… I want to stay with Keith forever… so I agree."

One by one, they accepted Luna's terms.

And when the door opened, all six stepped out with bright, satisfied smiles.

Keith blinked.

"…Why are all of you smiling like that?"

None of them answered.

He had no idea his future harem pact had just been signed.

Keith's Training and Growth

Meanwhile, Keith continued his relentless training.

He never forgot to sign in, and throughout the years, he gained countless rewards:

Wealth & Property

galleons, dollars, and pounds new mansions shares in top corporate companies shops in the wizarding world

Major Power Rewards

Complete knowledge of Ope-Ope no Mi Zanpakutō: Hyōrinmaru — which Keith gifted to Luna

Luna nearly cried when he placed the beautiful ice dragon blade in her hands.

It resonated with her perfectly.

With Grayfia teaching Luna high-level ice magic, and Hyōrinmaru bonded to her, Luna's power skyrocketed—her swordsmanship became terrifying.

Keith himself perfected his combined sword style:

Vergil Sparda Swordsmanship Runcandel Swordsmanship Personal variations created through Great Sage

During sparring matches, Scathach often smirked.

"You'll surpass most warriors before you even reach Hogwarts."

Keith grinned proudly.

Rias and Jealousy in the Household

Rias remained the most clingy out of everyone.

She would jump onto Keith's lap while he was reading.

Hold his hand for hours.

Fall asleep leaning against him.

Keith spoiled her the most—teaching her to condense and refine her Power of Destruction, protecting her during practice, and even playing with her whenever she got pouty.

She adored him.

But…

The jealousy was real.

Grayfia would stare at Rias with an icy smile.

Gamma would twitch every time Rias sat on Keith's lap.

Albedo… would grit her teeth while maintaining a perfect smile.

Scathach would sigh, muttering, "Children these days…"

Even Luna felt her eyebrow twitch sometimes.

Still—

They all accepted it.

Because Keith was their future.
