Regretfully, he added, “I wanted to engrave your name initials as well, but I couldn’t because I didn’t know your real name.”
“…Aston.”
“I understand it’s a humble proposal. I wanted to make the most wonderful proposal in the world, but without realizing it, my body moved on its own when I thought you could confess to someone else.”
Aston laughed, saying that there were many people who found it difficult to ask about marriage or proposals.
“However, asking those friends wouldn’t be appropriate as fellow competitors.”
‘For someone claiming to know about manners, they seemed quite individualistic, I think.’
Although I tried to keep my thoughts to myself and suppress laughter, Zero, who followed us, said a word.
“Hmph. Despite claiming to know etiquette, it seemed quite rude, didn’t it? Just an action blinded by jealousy. Couldn’t be honest till the end.”
“Hmm? Tick. (Huh, was it like that? I was watching with great interest until just now.)”
“Both of you, be quiet.”
When I couldn’t overcome embarrassment and gave a warning, Zero grumbled and stepped back.
“No, why. You can’t even say one right thing.”
Even so, he kindly gave up his seat.
It must have taken a lot of courage for the blunt Aston to bring up the proposal story.
As the interferers disappeared into the bushes, only then did Aston comfortably propose to me again.
“May I dare to remain by your side as a lifelong companion?”
His tone and gaze were more desperate than ever.
However, my answer had already been decided.
With a bouquet in one hand, I lifted Aston with the other and smiled.
“Aston, of all people, taking away a competitor like me, is that what you’re saying?”
“…?”
“When I first met Aston, I wanted to take my time and make a cool proposal. The order was stolen.”
“T-That means…”
Embracing Aston’s neck with tears of gratitude, our lips met.
The scent of flowers spread fragrantly around us, and our first kiss was as sweet as honey.
“Is this an answer?”
“Of course.”
Aston smiled widely.
Aston, who walked the cold and lonely path like a wanderer in the story of the North Wind and the Sun, has now become a person who knows how to smile warmly like the sun.
I, too, met people who would fill my empty heart and was no longer lonely.
Aston kissed me again.
After the dreamy kiss, he whispered.
“I love you, Ilhang.”
“Me too.”
Applause echoed from the bushes.
“Be happy! If a single drop of water from Ilhang touches you, a thunderbolt will strike! We’ll be watching from the divine realm!”
Zero sniffled and cried with tears and mucus. Ardell, an image of a guinea pig, comforted Zero.
“Chirp. (Stop crying. It’s disgusting.)”
…Isn’t that comforting?
Anyway, I held the hand of my beloved and walked through the bright, flower-filled garden.
“When do you like to eat?”
“I like it when you want it the most.”
“What? You’re just giving model answers. How boring.”
Although I said that, my mouth curled up because my heart’s excitement didn’t stop.
At that moment, an announcement rang in my ears, notifying the completion of the bet with Zero.
The final system notification popped up.
[Congratulations.] [You, the apprentice god, have successfully completed the bet with Zero.] [Now, in the perfect happy ending, may you live forever with your loved ones.]“Of course, that’s how it should be.”
In the peaceful world where no more sinister zombies appeared, I would continue to enjoy precious happiness and live forever with those I love.
In the distance, colleagues running towards us came into view.
I greeted them, shaking hands with the ring on.
“Look at this, everyone! I was just proposed to by Aston!”
Epilogue of “Creating a Harem in a Doomed World.”
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
