What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy?-Chapter 1350: Am I The Rebound?

I want to say this is the most screwed up arrangement I’ve ever seen but... I think my time in this World has shown that there were even worse examples...

At worst, I could just see that as them treating me as a rebound for them after they got over Odeta I guess... And that honestly isn’t really that crazy if you just ignore the fact that all five sisters seem to have the same idea at the same time...

I gave Baylor a pointed look, "I’m going to be honest with you here... I’m not interested in them."

She shrugged, "Don’t tell me. I ’ready said I’m trying to interfere with ma’ daughters as little as I can in ’dis life. They’re free to do whatever they want and fall in love with whoever they want."

I gestured at Odeta who was still busy cuddling me from behind, "But... You got involved in this one and even fought Odeta over this, didn’t you?"

She gave her pipe another smoke before grinning at me, "Wha’? Did ja’ think I was gunna’ pass up the chance to at least have a swing at ’er? Even if I said ’m hands off, I still needa’ stand up fer’ my daughters at least, don’t I?"

Err... Like I said the first time that happened, I don’t really think that’s a good idea but what do I know about how these people think?

I mean... If I turned around right now, I would see five girls currently giving bedroom eyes despite the fact that they were apparently pissed at me for stealing away their lover not even an hour ago... 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Why are people so weird?

And the fact that Odeta isn’t questioning it made me think that she might even have been in on this from the very beginning...

You do realise that if Baylor actually attacked me last night and I didn’t stop her, Katsuki might have slit her throat right?

Well... I guess I should just be happy that that didn’t happen in the end.

Alright then... Fine...

I stood up from Odeta who did not try to stop me, allowing me to head towards the doorway where the sisters were still peeking out of.

The moment I turned in that direction, all five of them immediately duck behind the doorway again, trying to hide themselves once again despite the fact that I’ve already seen them anyway.

I went straight through the doorway to find the five girls were all standing around in the corridor trying to pretend like they weren’t just peeking at me just a few seconds earlier.

Heck, even Isabella and Chloe who had been antagonistic towards me were acting shy and averting their gaze while twirling their hair meekly.

How the hell could someone have such a big change in attitude in just a few short minutes?

Do I need to remind you that the both of you literally looked like you were going to tear me limb from limb just now?

I cleared my throat, the sound making all five of the girls perk up in attention as they leaned in to listen to my while still acting like they weren’t interested.

"Ahem... I’m just here to say that I’m not interested in having a romantic relationship with any of you either... So I’m sorry but I’ll have to turn all of you down... Sorry."

The five sisters suddenly swivelled their heads to me, their eyes wide in surprise.

What? Did they really think I was going to just going to accept them after all of that? Girls, I barely even know any of you. Why would I even want to--

Chloe suddenly turned behind her and pulled out a basket which she handed over to me.

I frowned at it, "What is that?"

She pursed her lips but refused to tell me and just held the basket with a lid on it out towards me without saying anything else.

Curious, I carefully plucked it from her hands and opened the top of the basket to peek inside.

Almost instantly, I was assaulted with the sweet scent of muffins and cookies and I realised that was what the basket was filled with.

MY mouth watered and I looked up at her while pointing a finger at the opening, "For... Me?"

She nodded, still averting her gaze.

Well... I did the obvious thing here where I started stuffing myself with the muffins and cookies inside the basket.

Mmmmm!!! So sweet!! So good!!! Ahhhh!! There’s so many of them!! And they’re all sweet!!! Om nom nom nom~

In a flash, everything inside the basket was gone and I had cleaned out every single piece of the muffins and cookies that had been inside.

Only then did I realise that the sisters were no longer averting their gaze and were looking at me intently.

I gulped before slowly placing the basket aside and clearing my throat, "Ahem... Umm... Thank you for that... But... I’m not going to just go into a relationship with any of you just because of that, you know? I already have people that I love and I’m not going to just get into another relationship with people I just met..."

Unexpectedly, Regina, the eldest sister, stepped forward and gestured towards the group, "We understand, Aster... Umm... Could I call you that?"

"Ah, of course."

"Ahem... We understand, Aster... Odeta already told us about this and we accept that we could never get her heart... But she told us that... There is still space in yours..."

I frowned and looked behind me, only to see Odeta grinning at me from the couch and giving me a thumbs up.

Odeta... Don’t think that I don’t know this is basically just you pushing your problems on me... I never asked for this, you know? Why are you trying to set me up with your exes?

As though realising what I was thinking, Regina quickly added, "Wait! Please don’t blame Odeta! We... We asked this of her! It was not her idea!"

Now I’m confused as I turned back to them. "What do you mean it’s your idea? You asked Odeta to set this up? But we only just met!"

"Yes but... I know this might sound a little cheesy but... Do you believe in love at first sight?"

No... You’re not really going to claim something like that, are you?

I really want to refute her but... That would also be refuting some of my girls because they had also claimed such a thing.

I pursed my lips at her, "What do you suggest then?"

Emboldened by the fact that I did not outright reject her, she took another step forward and placed her hand on her chest, drawing my attention to the cleavage that was already threatening to spill out from her top.

"Just a physical relationship is enough for us... We’re not asking you to stay or let us follow you... Just... Let us sleep with you and make love... That’s all we ask..."

"Wait... You do know that I’m not planning to stay here right? That I’m going to leave in like a day or so before I continue on my journey? I’m only passing through, you know? This would quite literally be a one night stand."

"We don’t mind. This just means that if we were to ever meet again, we can just pick up where we left off instead of not being able to, right?"

I narrowed my eyes at her, "Really? Are you seriously telling me that you would be happy with just that? Because honestly, and I’m going to be really honest here, it sounds like you’re just using me as a rebound and you’re coping... No offense."

"None taken... We understand it might seem like that because to you, we just jumped straight to you immediately after losing Odeta... But the truth is we had a few years to get over it already. It’s just that we didn’t have an actual, proper closure before this... So it still felt like we were stuck in some way. But now that we have met you, we want to move on as well..."

I crossed my arms, "In other words, you just want to use me for sex, don’t you?"

She smiled, "Well... No one said that a physical relationship can’t turn into an emotional one later either."

Oh my gods... These girls are actually serious... I don’t know if they are just really delusional, really desperate... Or just really horny.

Come on, it’s not like they don’t have any other choices right? I’m sure there’s another nice Amrap somewhere that they might end up falling for...

Regina tilted her head at me, "Do you... Hate us?"

"Well... Hate is too strong of a word... I guess you could just say that I’m ambivalent for now?"

"Then are you against... Sleeping with us?"

"I mean... If you are asking that specifically, then no..."

She let out a sigh of relief, "In that case, please don’t blame us for this..."

I wondered what she was going to do until Chloe brought out another basket from who knows where.

What is that supposed to be? Are you trying to bribe me?

Instead of handing over the basket to me however, she reached into it to pull out a muffin before placing it on the floor.

Then she took a few steps back and placed another one... And another one... And another one... And she kept going as she laid a trail of them up the stairs.

What the heck? Do you think that you can just lay down a trail of sweets and expect me to just follow it up to your bedrooms so you can do what-- Oh~ These muffins smell really great!

Om nom nom nom~ There’s another one there! Om nom nom~
