Harem Overlord

Kai suddenly slapped himself on his right cheek to see whether he was dreaming or not.

The slap left a stinging sensation on his cheek which told him that he wasn't dreaming. He then stood up and slowly started walking forward. 

His eyes were wide open as he looked at Ayaka's body in front of him. She was standing right in front of him with a smile and looked perfect.

Perfect…

'Ayaka hated being perfect.' He thought and was suddenly jolted back to reality. His entire demeanor changed from a lost person to an attentive person.

He eyed Ayaka with examining eyes as he saw her sighing.

"I had trapped you so perfectly yet you still figured it out. Honestly, that's unfair." Ayaka's voice slowly started to fade away.

In her place, a man with blue hair and bright golden eyes was standing while grinning. He was wearing a bright blue colored suit and was looking at Kai's expression.

"Hello Kai. Nice meeting you like this after a long time." Azazel said as his eyes started glowing.

'What a time for him to be awake.' Kai thought with a sigh as he was in no mood of fighting another powerful person.

Now that he looked at it, all of his current enemies were overpowered. Be it the fairy king or queen, the yin-yang formations master, Taizan who was a vessel to the Darkness, or Lucas, the current harem overlord.

He then decided to add Azazel to the list too.

"Can you please come on some other day? I am currently not in the mood right now." Kai said with a wave of his hand as Azazel looked baffled.

"I am not some sales person who you can send away you know." He replied as Kai looked surprised.

"Why do sound this sane? Did staying locked up for so long made your brain reset?"

A vein popped in Azazel's forehead as he cracked his knuckles.

"Looks like not seeing me for this long has made you forget about how powerful I am. Let me remind you of that." 

"I told you, dude, I am really not in the mood. And this is not my place anyways." Kai added as Azazel suddenly stopped

"What do you mean this is not your place. Don't tell me you can't afford living here? What happened to that rich and overpowered Kai I last met?" Azazel asked as Kai sighed.

"I too wonder what happened to that version of me. I feel like an old man right now." He replied as Azazel nodded.

"Then there I no fun in battling your no. I will come back some other time then." Azazel muttered before he vanished from his spot.

Kai on the other hand blinked in disbelief as he couldn't believe what just had happened. It felt as though Azazel was a completely different person.

'Should I ask Hela and Aizza about this? Maybe they can tell me something about the Azazel from the past.' 

Kai was debating whether he should do it or not since both of them would be extremely busy. But that's when he remember that the special realms they went in hardly had any spirits.

So in the end, he decided to contact them. 

[ Aizza, Hela, I just met Azazel. ]

[ Huh, so what? Don't you meet him every day? ]

[ Exactly, what's the new thing in it? ]

Their replies confused Kai when he remembered that Azrael and Azazel sounded extremely similar.

[ I am talking about Azazel the one and only fallen angel. ] He then replied as both of them fell silent.

Kai tried to imagine their expression. Perhaps they would be in disbelief or they would be confused. Honestly, he didn't know.

[ Then how did it go? ]

[ Did he attack you? ]

Hela straight up asked whether he was attacked or not while Aizza wanted to know about the entire situation, Kai then told them about what happened and they didn't utter a single word until he was finished.

[ Kai are you trying to fool us? Did we forget something important or are you just bored enough that you want to fool us? ] Aizza asked as Kai chuckled.

[ I have better things to tell if I want to fool you. ]

[ Then you expect us to believe that Azazel, who is half-mad and wants to destroy you and everything you hold dear, found you and went back just cause you were not in the mood to fight him?! ] Hela asked in a baffled tone as Kai sighed.

He himself couldn't believe that it had happened, so he couldn't blame them for being this way.

[ I can't believe either guys. But it doesn't mean that it's not true. ] He added as the two of them remained silent for some time.

[ So what did you want to ask us? ] Aizza asked as Kai sighed. 

[ I wanted to know how Azazel was before you the three of you were cursed. ] 

[ We are currently busy Kai. There are a lot more spirits here than we imagined. It looked as though many of them were born and they don't know much about the outside world. The separation also rocked them badly. We will discuss this later. ] Aizza explained as both she and Hela went away.

'Guess I asked the wrong question…' Kai thought as he stared towards the stars again.

Perhaps his question had made Aizza and Hela remember about their past. And Kai knew it from personal experience that sometimes, the past hurt badly.

"Guess I will just wait for them.' He uttered to himself and while staring at the stars, Kai suddenly remembered an event from his past.

He couldn't have been more than five years old then. He remembered the face of the woman known as Time who governed time in the world.

During that time, Time had been chasing him. Kai couldn't even fathom that the person who ruled and governed time was playing tag with a kid.

"Guess some things are for the better.." He muttered with a smile and stayed there until everyone woke up.
