Combat Maid Harem

"Okay. That's better. We should've signed this sooner," Lawrend replied with a smile on his face.

"...What if you don't die of old age..?" Ramiela suddenly asked.

Her eyes stared at Lawrend's eyes, and it was full of concern and worry. Clearly, she was starting to feel worried about her current situation.

"What do you mean?" Lawrend asked as he furrowed his eyebrows at her.

"I'm afraid that you're too talented. Each time you become stronger, you will live even longer. Even though I'm an angel with eternal life, I don't want to be stuck beside you forever," Ramiela replied.

"Huh… How are you so sure that I'll live too long for you to endure?" Lawrend asked.

"Because you have a divine essence. I don't know how high you can reach, but I'm sure it will allow you to live for a long time," Ramiela replied.

"That makes sense. So, how long is your maximum?"

"1000 years!" Ramiela replied.

"So… If I die within 1000 years, then you're free, but if I don't die after 1000 years, then you'll just leave?" Lawrend asked.

"Correct." Ramiela nodded her head.

"1000 years… That's quite long. Things would be different after 1000 years," Lawrend replied.

"Human, aren't you getting too cocky? One thousand years will be half your lifespan if you become a Grand Mage. It's short," Ramiela replied with displeasure on her face.

"Now that I think about it, I never knew how long one could live depending on the strength," Lawrend thought out loud as he rubbed his chin.

"I can explain, Master," Aleshia said with her hand raised lightly.

"Sure. Go ahead," Lawrend replied.

"A human will start having a longer lifespan after they become an Arch Mage or a Hill Sword. An Arch Mage can live up to 200 years, and then a Grand Mage could live up to 500 years," Aleshia explained.

"Oh! That's interesting."

Lawrend then faced Ramiela.

"The terms would be…"

To sum it up, the terms of this new soul contract would be to forbid Lawrend from killing her unless she betrayed him. She then could not attempt to harm anyone he considered his family.

"That's okay for me," Ramiela replied.

She walked closer to him, and they stood in front of each other and held hands together. They closed their eyes and thought about the terms of the contract.

"Oh, Goddess, witness our vow to each other. Bind our souls together and align our goals together. Splice our souls, and may the betrayer suffer the 12th Punishment, Soul Covenant!" Ramiela chanted.

A blinding white glow covered the two of them like a cocoon.

"What's happening? This is different from before!" Elena exclaimed.

Aleshia and the rest had their mouths wide open in amazement.

"Lawrend, welcome back," a voice greeted him.

His eyes were closed, and he opened them.

"Who?" Lawrend asked.

He looked around and saw the Goddess from before. Her beautiful body shaped perfectly, and her unforgettable face. It was all so familiar to him.

"D-Did I die?" Lawrend asked as he gulped his saliva.

"You didn't," the Goddess replied in a tantalizing soft voice.

"Why am I back here?" Lawrend asked.

"I found it hilarious that you were able to trick one of my angels."

"...That's it?"

It felt anticlimactic to him as he expected her to have a shocking reason why he was back here again.

"NO. I called you here to tell you that you aren't the same soul that I recognize. Did you swallow the memories of that guy?" the Goddess asked as her eyes turned cold and serious.

"He wanted to kill me, but I won. In the first place, I was the one occupying this body. He was like a parasite," Lawrend replied calmly.

"Hm? Interesting," the Goddess replied with a smile on her face.

"Is there anything else?" Lawrend asked.

"There is. Beware of what you're doing. If you scratched the wrong place or too deeply, you would end up dead," the Goddess answered.

"I know. Also, why did you put me here in this world? You could have chosen anyone, and I didn't have any particular goal, do I?" Lawrend asked.

"You were chosen not by me. I don't care what you do in my world as long as you don't destroy it."

"Then, who? Was it the 'him' you were talking about before?" Lawrend asked.

"Him… Yes. I don't know why he chose you and why he chose me," the Goddess replied as she turned her head and looked distantly.

"Chose you?" Lawrend asked in confusion.

"Enough. I will give you this. If you show this to the Great Saraphiel, she'd obey one command of you that isn't too excessive," the Goddess said as she passed a perfectly triangular flat piece of metal.

"This is..?"

Lawrend looked at it with a confused look on his face. It looked like someone used a plasma cutter to cut a perfect triangle on a sheet of steel metal.

"That's a triangle," the Goddess replied.

"I know, but what the heck? This thing doesn't look special," Lawrend replied.

"You don't have to know what it is."

Suddenly, his vision darkened and the Goddess disappeared.

"Done. Human, can you let go of me already?" Ramiela's voice sounded in front of Lawrend.

He instantly opened his eyes and looked around him. He was back in the dining room and every one of his maids was looking at him with looks of concern.

"What happened?" Lawrend asked.

"What do you mean, 'What happened?'? We did a soul contract. Don't tell me that the soul contract took a part of your memories with it?" Ramiela asked as she stared at him like she was looking at an idiot.

"Master, the two of you were covered in a cocoon of white light. It was weird," Elena replied to him.

"Huh?"

Ramiela stared at Elena in confusion.

"It's true. It didn't happen before but it happened just now," Humility said.

Lawrend opened his hand and stared at the perfectly flat triangle inside it.
