Chapter 347: Olivia's return

"I will open the door," Schnee stood up, cat walking her way toward the doors.

After opening them, Schnee dilated her eyes, for she had a girl she couldn't recognize at first glance.

But after looking deeper, Schnee knew the guest's identity.

"Olivia… So you have come," Schnee lifted her chin, looking down at Olivia while crossing her arms beneath her large chest.

Olivia curved her lips widely, her eyes shining red as she looked into Schnee's golden hues, "Have you sensed me with your kitty nose? I don't think so. Otherwise, you wouldn't have such a clown expression.

It's fate, then. Do you have anything to say to me?" Olivia asked in a casual tone, yet she sounded sharp and looked more intimidating, primarily due to her red eyes.

However, Schnee didn't back off, "I think a bitch like you won't listen to me, so I won't waste my breath on you."

"Correct. This bitch does whatever she wants," Olivia bypassed Schnee, leaving a slap on her ass, "You look so much worse without a tail, you know?"

"I fucking know!" Schnee stomped on the ground before returning to the table.

Olivia smirked before focusing her eyes on the celebrant.

And as Olivia was right, and Schnee agreed with her, the cat girl didn't even think of arguing with her. Besides, it was not a time for that, for it was their beloved's birthday.

Schnee, like others, kept a close eye on Olivia, of course.

It was true that they loved the same man. But Olivia had broken up with him. What were her feelings right now?

Alex kept asking himself this question, gazing into Olivia's red eyes. Because he knew his father's story, he wasn't surprised by those hues.

Olivia also carried the guardian mana. She also inherited lightning from her mother and used the peculiar red mana to increase her element's strength.

Alex understood more about Olivia's origins after his talk with Harvey.

But no one would tell him Olivia's feelings. Only his ex-girlfriend could.

Alex couldn't think, though.

He gawked at Olivia's beauty, for she had changed significantly. The most notable change, besides her red eyes, was her hair, which she cut.

She had short, black hair that looked much better than a long one. She exuded a confident aura of a woman that knew what she wanted in her life. And as Alex glanced below, he noticed that Olivia also gained fat in appropriate places.

She wore a cute dress that didn't hide her curves, and Olivia also didn't shy away, so everyone could see her metamorphosis.

"Thanks for coming, Olivia," Alex smiled faintly, nervous like never before. Everyone could tell that he was stressed.

His friends didn't help him, though. Today, they met Alex's wives in the real world. They knew that he had a harem and that it was real, yet it felt somewhat different on Earth.

Alex also bought houses and stuff.

It was pretty impressive.

So they didn't want to help or feel too bad for him.

"I never missed your birthdays since we became a couple, handsome. I will naturally not give up on a chance to fix our relationship," Olivia replied with a bright smile, then continued after passing a present.

She glanced at Alex's girls first, though, "We both made mistakes, handsome. You ended up in a castle with three girls, one daughter, and their problems. It's natural of you to focus on them and help their plight.

Love came at an unexpected time for you. And you were also open about it, for polygamy is legal in the Avander World.

You also never had experience with a harem, I reckon. It all piled up on you.

My mistake? I was too soft. I accepted your reasons, letting you spend time with the girls. Our talks after the game weren't enough. And as you got those smoking girls, filling your life with new experiences…" Olivia whispered, recalling the beginnings of the gaming world.

She didn't have problems with a harem, for she thought it was a fake world. She liked Alex's wives, too, and had an interesting relationship with one of them. Their meetings weren't frequent, so Olivia didn't have enough time to learn about them all.

She didn't have a proper chance to form a sisterly bond like Remia had done. Besides, Olivia was a player, so her mindset was different.

And when the truth came at an unexpected time, Olivia teared up.

Her mother helped her to see through another world and its customs. And days without Alex after their break up told Olivia more than enough.

"I want us to start anew. I want to be part of your harem and daily life. I will be a good girl if needed and a bad girl if necessary.

I… I can't imagine a life with someone else," Olivia whispered, gazing deeply into Alex's eyes.

And even though she was as old as him, she didn't think it was too early to think about a partner for life. Their circumstances aligned perfectly, and Olivia had been in a good relationship for years.

She wanted to be exactly in that relationship until the end of her life. She wanted to form a bond with Alex again and continue developing it like any other couple.

Olivia blinked her eyes, though, for Alex started crying.

He didn't sob or wail, but tears tumbled down his cheeks.

"Why are you crying, handsome?" Olivia asked softly, forming a faint smile. Everyone around them also smiled, knowing that only good things awaited their lover and friend.

Alex extended his hand, tightly taking Olivia's hand, "I have been looking for the perfect answer… for a long time. At first, I didn't know what I should do or what I should say. I found some answers, but each answer had a flaw.

I knew that it was not enough… That it was wrong… That I shouldn't pull you into harem if that hurts you… And yet, you are standing with me with that beautiful smile, wanting to be my girl again…

I am too lucky, and I feel like I haven't done anything," Alex whispered, sharing his genuine thoughts.

Olivia stood in a daze. She recalled her mother's words.

[I didn't have the luxury of having a boyfriend who would tame my delinquent side.]

"You have approached me and changed my life, handsome. That's enough, and I will love you for an eternity for it," Olivia extended her hands, draping Alex with her softness and taking his lips for herself.

And while everyone stared at them in silence, Schnee picked up confetti and let it out with a loud bang, "Woah! Congratulations."

Olivia gave her a side-glance, then a faint lightning bolt struck Schnee. Her hair went up, and her dress' straps snapped, forcing her to hold it.

She lifted her eyes, staring at Olivia in shock.

At the same time, Josh gazed at Olivia agape, "Is it you, Olivia? Are you the lightning goddess?!"

The Lightning Goddess was a popular existence in their continent. She killed so many hungry demons that no one could give an accurate count!

And she also passed a legendary class to Josh, which became a hot topic for a long time!

Olivia chuckled, not replying.

But that was enough for Josh, "Thank you for giving me legendary class!"
