Sophia Demiurge

Chapter 129: To the Harem Route, She Went

I looked at the two ladies in front of me. I was surprisingly calm despite asking a very ridiculous question (at least for the standard of my previous world). Maybe it was because I finally accepted who I am or maybe it was because I knew that the two of them teamed up to force me to accept my true self, but in any case, I just want to make things official so as not to confuse others and myself.

The first one to speak was Eleanor; her response was what I expected.

"Sophia, you know that I have been pushing you to have a second wife for quite a long time, I'm just happy that you're not holding yourself back anymore, so of course, I agree."

I nodded whilst squinting my eyes.

"Are you sure you don't feel like I am being stolen?"

Eleanor just smiled and then flexed her biceps uncharacteristically and tapped it a few times.

"Not really, but if you really got stolen, I'll just bring you back."

I once again nodded, albeit awkwardly, really, the shy Eleanor of the past is long gone, she's very confident now, and I'm all for it. While I was thinking of such things, I looked at Bakunawa who nodded too.

"Well, you don't need to ask me, after all, I am way too late to fall in love with you and fight against the monopoly of your affection and do not dare to convey my feelings before the partial hero's test arrived and Eleanor agreed to my rather forceful confession, so I will be fine as long as I know that you reciprocate my feelings, whether as a wife or as a mistress."

Once again, an awkward air ensued, see that's why I found this kind of conversation ridiculous, in my (previous) moral standards, you have to love one person and her alone, hearing someone that they are okay to be the second option is just outrageous.

_Well whatever... I'm not a Christian anymore..._

I just sighed whilst thinking of that as I smiled and held both of their hands, I then said.

"It's great that both of you consented, Thank you for making me accept my real self."

The two of them also smiled at me as I tightened my grip on their hands whilst I looked at Bakunawa, my smile still visible on my face.

"Also Bakunawa, I have to thank you for the favor you have done to me, your forcefulness helped me realize who I really am, I will be sure to ask for your help time and time again."

Bakunawa stared at me for a full second and then smiled as she licked her lips as she replied.

"Fufufu... I would be honored to help you get out of any funk you are in the future, Lady Sophia."

I cannot help but blush a little at such a response, though I just let it be, honestly, it doesn't feel so bad to have someone who can lead you after many hours of leading others, while thinking of that, I once again smiled at my two wives, or officially, two fiancés, they too smiled at me, finally I have accepted myself to it's fullest, making me confirm that all the "storm" inside my brain was gone.

_Haah... if only I was these peaceful when I fought against Hebi... well, whatever, there's still the war against elves after all, I'll test the womanizer version of me there._

[3rd Person POV]

The affair about Sophia's quest for her true self is now over, but how was it resolved baffled the ones who are commanded to give her a close look.

"Did Lord Siginarugan and the god of streams just create a hero's test to help Sophia get out of her self-restraint? Isn't that kind of too meddlesome?"

One of the gods who is watching the ordeal transpire asked no one in particular, though of course, someone still spoke, her voice is also uncertain and confused.

"That seems to be the case... however, why did they do it? Can't Sophia do it at her own pace instead of being borderline raped by her soldier?"

Every single one of the deities has the same question, of course, watching someone who is normally domineering moan under the lascivious assault of someone weaker than her is not something that they will make a fuss about, it's just that the nature of the situation is something that even their brilliant selves cannot fathom.

"Indeed, that is the question... first, Lord Siginarugan and the god of streams went on a journey that even us is unaware of the origins and then now they meddled with mortal matter quite directly... no actually, I think the moment Lord Siginarugan talked directly with Sophia when she struggled against her family complex is already suspicious... it's like, the lord is in a hurry..."

All the gods present frowned, a nervous expression was present on their faces.

"But what matter would make the lord, no, a god make moves in haste? We live for virtually no end, and Lord Siginarugan is someone vital for the cycle of life as he commands death, if he was killed or even threatened, the whole concept of mortality would be at stake, and even if someone wants to attempt ending his life, the system does not allow fight between gods..."

One god nodded, anyone as old as these gods would feel like the explanation of their companion is suitable, after all, Sophia became a hero without even turning a year, even before that, she was recognized as a guardian of the forest of the undead her very first day and became a hero prospect soon after and underwent a hero's test not too far from those days, the events are just done in so much haste that they did not even notice something strange because of how organized the turn of events were and how fast and how effective did Sophia went past them and became stronger to the point of defeating her first hero opponent that is Hebi Tsukaiza.

"Just what in the world is Lord Siginarugan planning..."

Meanwhile, the one who is being talked about is not aware of the doubts of his subordinate, upon hearing the report of the god of the streams, he smirked.

"Finally, I don't need to feel worried about Sophia failing in her part..."

[Sophia's POV]

After that talk, I,  Eleanor and Bakunawa shared a rather late lunch to commemorate the addition of a new member of the royal family, I wonder if we can create children through genetics, well, it's not the time to think about that for now because after we had lunch, the three of us went back to work, firstly Eleanor used the paper with a one-time 4th dimension opening ability and went back to her city whilst Bakunawa seems to have become fond of following me around as the captain of Siginarugan city's soldiers, also she's always enticing, grabbing me in weird places whenever there is a chance, if not for the fact that I also do that every now and then to Eleanor, I would have complained.

Though I don't hate it, to tell the truth.

Going back, in the middle of the afternoon, I went to the factory of papers a little bit away from the main area of Bulawan City, a lot of goblins and some undeads were in front of a gigantic machine with a lot of rolling pins like mechanisms that are alternating in position, they were made of a circle trunk of some gigantic tree with its outer layer made out of thin sheets of steel, the wheels are being manually operated by several goblins and undeads who are rotating a gigantic lever on the right side.

While I was looking at the machine my people had materialized, the secretary of construction approached me as he said.

"It is nice meeting you after such a long time Lady Sophia, I see that you have once again evolved and gained more power, what do you think of our attempt to materialize your mighty idea? With this, we will be able to supply papers on a much larger scale and do not need to create a priority list for people who can gain access to them like what other kingdoms do."

The secretary is quite proud of his creation as I look at him smiling and looking at the machine with pride in his eyes, seeing this, I smiled.

"It is indeed great, I can see that you have put a lot of effort into materializing what I have drawn in the blueprint, however, such a creation of mine is just a prototype, I will soon need to go back to the capital and start on the invention I have been envisioning for a while, this will make the machine automated and create more space in our manpower so that they can focus more in farming and herding our cattle."

The goblin secretary was seemingly shocked, though he soon smiled and then said.

"Indeed, such an invention will make manpower more available for us, I look forward to seeing its magnificence, Lady Sophia."

Just like that, with Bakunawa at my sidelines not even talking, I and the secretary of construction conversed about how he started the project among other things, we became a little indulgent on the things we wanted to add to the machine when it's automated that it was already night when we are finished, after that, me and Bakunawa went back to the office and ate dinner before going to bed.

This time, Bakunawa did not eat me and wanted to spend her first time sleeping as my lover peacefully, that is kind of sweet so I did not object even though I was quite disappointed.

Just like that, a week passed, and as expected, a spider suddenly appeared beside me while I was in my office doing my work, I could see that it was quite excited as it walked around and dashed in front of me and then jumped right into my face, punctured (at least attempted to) my head multiple times before going into my shoulder.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! You are a genius, Lady Sophia! The artificial natural selection was a success! Go to my lab alone, now!"

I was quite shocked at how the ever so-calm Arachne lost her cool because of spider webs changing colors, I looked at Bakunawa who was patiently waiting for me to finish my work as I said.

"Don't follow me, okay?"

I then stood up and kissed her on the cheek as she quietly nodded, I then opened the 4th dimension and entered it, in an instant, I was already at the field where we conducted the artificial natural selection, besides me is Arachne who shoved my face into her breasts immediately before even saying anything, she then hugged me and lifted me up as she started spinning.

"We did it, Lady Sophia! We did it!"

We continued spinning like that until Arachne managed to calm down her emotions, well my one and only thesis was scrapped when it was about to be materialized so I don't know how does it feel to have a successful product research.

"Phew... forgive me, I lost control of myself."

Arachne bowed at me slightly while I was patting my clothes to smoothen it as I sighed.

"Hmm, I don't mind, anyway, what is the status of success? Is there any room for further improvement?"

Arachne pulled a glass box out of nowhere with a stack of paper on top of it, the paper had a "Pigmentation" on it, she then flipped a few pages of the document and handed it to me, there is the progress of the pigmentation process fully documented in utmost precision with time on when did the white webs turned red, and then green and then when did they learn to control them freely among others.

"As you can see, that is the genetic limit of the silk spiders, I also looked into their military application but the best thing they can do is for their webs to camouflage soldiers when injected with mana, however, the soldiers needed a lot of training in mana control to be able to manually do that because the webs are not automated."

I nodded, this made it so that I could adjust the marketing strategy I had prepared, I can't just tell my customers that they have to have high-level mana control to change the colors of their outfit alongside the type of outfit they have, right? That would have been stupid as no one would be willing to learn magic just to put on clothes.

"I see, then please prepare two batches, one will be stationed in the silk factory readily made here and the other will be given to me for my foreign ventures."

Arachne nodded and some spiders at her back immediately went to work and got another glass box and caught another batch of silk spiders, some 10 and above before going in front of me and presenting it, I nodded before I looked at Arachne.

"Good job once again Arachne, now, I have here another, more challenging task"

Arachne was shocked, a face that showed interest immediately emerged on her face as she said.

"What is it, My Lady?"

I did not beat around the bush and immediately replied.

"I want you to replace the front commander of the Indio-Stardust war."
