Chapter 7:

　　"Aren't you the least interested in sex with me?" Himeno Katsuragi asked at breakfast in front of a huge crowd. "Before we were doing it like bunnies!" She complained.

　　I was pretty certain Himeno was the most beautiful, wonderful girl imaginable, including her healthy young appetites, to the point that on Earth I had several iconic pictures of her mounted on my wall, but now probably wasn't the best time. . .

　　"If it's about that then I think we've done much more perverted things than you." Sayaka threw her gauntlet into the field.

　　"I think he looks at me more. . ." Isara threw her hat into the ring.

　　"We've already been married for centuries!" Usagi pointed out.

　　"All I can ever think of is getting another chance to sleep with you." Kudryavka protested.

　　"If you've already had centuries then you don't need anything more, we just started dating so lend him to me." Rin Natsume forcefully grabbed my arm.

　　"I waited three years for him to rise from the dead wearing all sorts of scandalous costumes." Yuna grabbed my other arm.

　　"I was about to marry him when I had to blow myself up, who cares if you had to wear a costume?" Chtolly stood up.

　　"Ku Ku Ku, Christopher and I, Reisis VI Felicity Sumeragi, have already transcended 10,000 lives together in our eternal blood pact. . ." Kobato began.

　　"It would be nice if we could bring Ushio into this world. . ." Nagisa said wistfully.

　　"Stop stop stop!" I pulled my arms free and raised my voice. "Not in front of the children!"

　　"We're all children!" They shouted in unison. "Besides, wasn't it you who decided to marry so many preteens, so why do we have to work around it?" Sayaka retorted undeterred.

　　"I know what you mean but everyone is wonderful in their own way, age doesn't come into it, it's the heart that counts, the body is just a reflection of the soul and mind, so I couldn't help it if their bodies reflected such wonderful, beautiful hearts!" I pulled Miu over and put my hands on her shoulders from behind, presenting her to the crowd.

　　"Now look, you might think, 'ten years old,' but is that really all? She's blonde, twintailed, has an enchanting, unique voice, is fashion conscious, fun loving, and always puts her family before herself. She'd do anything for the people she loves and never gets angry. Even when she's sad she runs off to cry alone so no one will be bothered! She'll ride trains for hours and faint in school rather than say a word of complaint. She's the best babysitter in the world and that's even when it's only her half-sister! What would she be like as a mother to her very own kids? Is this not a charming lass? Who among you will throw the first stone?" I turned her side to side to confront everyone at the enormous dinner table with her innocent visage.

　　Miu was blushing and looking downwards. "So you were thinking all of that about me. . .maybe it wouldn't be so bad. . .this thing everyone's talking about. . ."

　　"Your lolicon-ness aside, aren't you trying to change the subject?" Himeno insisted.

　　"It's not like your breasts are that much bigger. . ." Elf and Sagiri complained in unison under their breaths.

　　"I thought it would be better if we could do it together." I replied earnestly.

　　"All 100 girls at once?!" Himeno's eyes widened as far as they could possibly go. "We'd become a mass of fevered flesh out of some horror story! No no no, rejected!"

　　"What's with your overactive imagination?" I replied scandalized. "I meant once everyone was okay with it!"

　　"So I just have to ask all the other wives if I can go first?" Himeno checked with me to make sure I wouldn't run away any further.

　　"But what if they just say 'yes' to be nice but really aren't okay with it?" I asked.

　　"And what about our feelings that are being neglected, should they make way for girls who don't even have the courage to say no?" Himeno countered.

　　"Then how about this." I compromised. "You can ask all the girls but it has to be a secret ballot. If 100 girls agree I should start sleeping with you then we'll do it tonight."

　　"Fine. I hope everyone understands, if I don't break through now, none of you will get a chance later, so work with me on this. He's going to leave us in our rooms for another decade if we don't make our stand here!" Himeno started canvassing for votes immediately.

　　Girls who take the initiative are scary! What happened to all the conviction I'd girded myself with yesterday? Hadn't the logic been impeccable?

　　"I was selfish enough to summon all of you here to Eden, and selfish enough to want to love all of you together, so I can't ask this of any of you, even though of course I want all of you more than you can possibly imagine. I think there should be lots of you who don't think of me that way, but I don't want to leave anyone behind, so I hoped someday you might want to make love and bear my children too. That someday we could all be happy together. But if you're saying even waiting for that someday is selfish too then I'll defer to everyone's judgment." I gave my election speech.

Girls' Side:

　　Christopher had beat a fast, blushing retreat from the breakfast table, after announcing his unfathomably large lust for everyone in the vicinity, leaving it up to the girls to settle things between themselves. Himeno wanted to ask each girl directly if she could have her support, but the deal meant she would have to be more subtle than that.

　　"Who among us has already had carnal relations with our honey?" Himeno immediately raised her own hand.

　　Levy, Asuna, Rin Natsume, Haruka Saigusa, Kud, Kagome, Kaname, Rosa, Rinoa, Yuna, Eruru, Kuon, Nayuki, Nagisa, Misuzu, Kotori, Mavis, Juvia, Makina, Sakura Haruno, Chtolly, Deedlit, Sora, Myusel, Sara, Nemu, Yume, Sakura Yoshino, Aisia, Koko, Yukino, Sayaka, Isara, Yoru, Asa, Sae, Usagi, Shana, Yuuhi, Rin Tohsaka, Orihime, Louise, Cheria, Iris and Mitsuki raised their hands.

　　"I have a question." Mikan interposed. "Does it count as carnal relations if he just happens to continuously be molesting me by pure accident, like, every single day?"

　　Himeno wondered what sort of life those two had lived together to reach such a result, but more importantly wanted as many allies as possible. "It counts! Anyone who happens to be nude in his arms or suchlike for whatever ostensible reason counts!"

　　After that a flurry of new hands went up -- Aruru, Ai, Nekone, Lucy, Wendy, Lisanna, Nanoha, Fate, Miu, Reina, Elf, Kobato and Mikoto.

　　"What kind of lucky sukebe was Christopher in his previous life?" Himeno asked amazedly.

　　"Okay, and who among you had already pledged your body and soul to him but just hadn't gotten around to the heavier stuff yet, but wouldn't particularly mind starting someday down the road?" Himeno asked.

　　More hands shot up -- Wakaba, Lafiel, Sakura Kinomoto, Chiwa, Lyria, Sherria, Teletha, Nozomi, Silica, Suguha, Rose, Leia, Sophie, Rydia, Rin Nohara, Sagiri, Kirino, Aerith, Tifa, Menma, Mylene, Mumei, Nadeko, MOMO, Mira, Kobeni and Illyasviel.

　　"So 89/100 of you, huh?" Himeno sighed. A full consensus looked like it would be a little tough.

　　"Of those who just kept coincidentally brushing against Christopher, who didn't like it?" Himeno hoped to clarify.

　　"If I hadn't liked it, I wouldn't have kept living with him." Mikan blushed. "I knew it was going to happen sooner or later, 'ah, this is the day I lose my virginity,' is something I must have thought to myself a thousand times."

　　"An-chan belongs to me." Kobato nodded definitively.

　　"I always thought sleeping together, showering together and eating together, raising Vivio together would be enough, but it's not like I'm totally against it." Nanoha said and Fate nodded along.

　　"I can't ask how you 89 are going to vote, but I do think it would be in all of your interests to vote yes tonight. I'd like to think of all of you as partners." Himeno carefully navigated the campaign finance law.

　　"That leaves the remaining eleven. How many of you wonder what the heck you're doing here?" Himeno asked.

　　"I wouldn't be that harsh." Urara said. "I love Christopher very much, he's always been there for me when I started off all alone. I think if he truly needs me, I'd give anything to him, even my life. It's just that it's never been that way before. And it's not like we've had much contact since arriving. . ."

　　"I was devastated when we separated into different worlds and couldn't meet for ten years, to the point that I was crying myself to sleep every day." Riko confessed. "But it's like Urara said, it just hadn't ever been that way. I never thought of him like that. I could never dislike him, and if that's what he wants. . ." Riko shrugged helplessly.

　　"I can't imagine living without Christopher," Honoka confessed. "We've always done everything together. Fate brought us together and I never want to part. It just hadn't been part of the picture until now."

　　Mai nodded. "It was the same for me. I've loved Christopher ever since the spirits guided us under the same magical tree during the summer festival. I've always wanted to be with him, to laugh and learn and play and fight together, but sleep together just wasn't. . ."

　　"I always admired my senpai in the band and wanted to fit in and be like him, but I never liked how he was always glomping me even when I told him to stop. I mean, I know it felt good, and secretly I'd sometimes wish he'd do it more, but at the same time I thought he should respect my wishes and I definitely thought it was weird. I've only started to think that maybe that would be alright now. . ." Azusa confessed.

　　"I always thought Christopher was the cutest person alive and wanted to hug him and play with his hair all the time, between our band playing together. He was always so skilled on the guitar so I envied and admired him every time we took the stage. But I always thought of him like a sibling. In truth I never really thought much about the future or things like lust or love." Yui explained.

　　"Christopher was the senpai I admired ever since I was a child and aspired to be like someday. When I got to work with him making games I thought my life was completely fulfilled. He helped me every time I hit a wall and relied on me when times were tough, so I thought we were already close enough. It even annoyed me how many times he would flash me in his underwear. I guess I should have taken the hint, huh?" Aoba bapped her purple twintailed head.

　　"Christopher saved me from ostracism in an isolated village and then introduced me to all my precious people. We worked together to save the world and afterwards he became a doctor while I got to go to school. I guess I always thought the age gap was too large, and that he didn't really think of me that way. . .But it was always really fun when he was around." Elize explained.

　　"I always treated Christopher as a brother. We had a terrible time together when we thought Lisanna had died, but so long as he was there for me I thought we could make it through, somehow. I'm startled it somehow came to this, but I've always respected his courage and tenacity. In the end, I have a well known and often exploited soft spot for both my siblings, I can never deny them anything." Mirajane confessed.

　　"Christopher was just one of many precious people to me. I enjoyed spending time together, but I didn't feel anything for him. Now that I'm here, I'm happy to go to school with all of you and go hiking and camping whenever I want. This whole world is a dream come true. I'd like to go hiking with Christopher again, but sex is a little. . ." Kokona closed her eyes in fearful imagination.

　　"Nico Nico nii," Nico put on a desperate face. "I have no idea why I'm here. I couldn't care less about Christopher at all. I thought I was the only sane person in the entire world, and it's been freaking me out. An idol like me having sex with a random stranger. . .well. . .I admit he literally is the last man left on Earth, and I do like large families like I had back home. . ." She cast her eyes about for help.

　　"So Christopher is an important person to 99 of us but chose you based on love at first sight?" Himeno wondered aloud.

　　"Wafu, I fell in love with Christopher at first sight!" Kudryavka came to Christopher's defense.

　　"I guess if a boy sees a super idol like me it can't be helped that he'd fall head over heels and do anything to get me, but, I can't make myself like a total stranger. . ." Nico argued.

　　"He's not a total stranger, he's a boy loved by everyone here in this room. Even if you don't know him, we all do and we all approve. Doesn't that say something?" Himeno lobbied.

　　"Kokona, save me!" Nico dodged behind her even shorter partner in non-love.

　　"I don't think Christopher is a bad husband to end up with. Of course I was surprised to find myself at a wedding with him and kissing for the first time out of the blue like that. . .but it didn't feel bad. . ." Kokona unconsciously touched her lips.

　　"Nico!" Nico cringed into a ball and held up her pinkie and index fingers above her head to protect herself. "I don't want to be the only old maid in the whole world!"

　　"Then it's decided. No one here has anything against making love to Christopher sooner or later!" Himeno clapped her hands together like the completion of a spell. For that matter she was a mage so for all anyone knew she had just completed a spell; one very, very, very important to her.

　　"Sooner or later?" Nico's voice rose in panic.

　　"Shishou might be a little too big for me." Ai's eyes started to water.

　　"If it comes to that I can use the 'Little' card." Sakura whispered into Ai's ear. "I was already planning on using it for myself."

　　"If it's little then-!" Ai's face brightened into the most dazzling happiness in the world.

　　"Make it little for me too! Me too! Me me, make it little!" A swarm of additional girls surrounded Sakura Kinomoto, their life saver in all meanings of the word.

　　Cure Flora, who had no idea who this Christopher fellow was but suspected he was a member of the Bad End Oukoku, quietly slipped her 'no' vote into the box.

* * *

　　"And the vote is 99-1!" I pumped my fist into the air, strangely exhilarated at my own inability to sleep with my own wives. "How do you like that, Himeno! I was right to be considerate! We really shouldn't be so hasty!"

　　"NICOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Himeno screamed in fury.

　　"Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii," Nico jumped away from the dinner table and ran out the door.
