Harem Hero

Party Starter

Lala could understand why her youngest sister was so hesitant to believe that you were the same man she had admired for so long. It was easy to lose perspective of the relatively humble beginnings that defined much of the early portion of the story. It was only when Lala went back and re-watched the earliest seasons that she remembered just how much things changed in time.

It was strange seeing you develop so much over the course of weeks and months. When she had first arrived in your world and met you for the first time – you didn't look the part of a conquering hero. The version of you from her world was 'complete' in a sense. A character that had been crystalized through a vast and ever-expanding multi-media franchise. It was inevitable that some of those portrayals would differ in tone and personality; but at the end of the day there were elements that were necessary to the character of you.

He was strong, confident, and had an array of powers that trivialised almost any threat and sometimes precluded the need for his immense, two-hundred-plus harem, even though it was the primary focus of the story. That journey from a normal person to an overpowered symbol of what was right appealed to Lala on a deep, emotional level. Lala was initially worried that things might not go that way at all.

But it was during your first night together with Rias and Akeno that Lala saw a glimpse of that future within you. Reclining back on the bed, surrounded by beautiful women, with a natural sense of confidence that betrayed the strange circumstances you were in. Lala imagined you in a few years' time, with powers of your own and many, many wives. You'd have a magnetic presence that let everyone know that you were the boss. A powerful force that could protect the multiverse from any threats that tried to do wrong by it. She'd walk into your throne chamber and see dozens of those wives, her friends, family and partners, all with a place in your heart.

Someone worthy of being the King of her father's space empire and more besides. Even now you have undergone a significant transformation, moulding your body into something worthy of a talented warrior. She knew that with time more changes would come, more abilities and skills and powers would accumulate, and then you would realise your full potential and save the universe just like she wanted you to.

Lala loved you because despite all of that, you would continue to do the right thing.

To give someone power was to reveal their true character. That was a lesson that her father had repeated time and time again. His management of the space empire they lent their name to had been a long and fraught road. There were many who aspired to take his place, or carve out an empire of their own by working from the inside. He understood well that the first step to evaluating a leader's trustworthiness was to see what they did with responsibility. The fact that you hadn't summoned an invincible goddess from another universe and tried to conquer your home planet was an encouraging start.

Lala knew that she was being blinded by her bias. She loved you deeply. She loved the way you looked, the sound of your voice, and the way that you held her body close during more intimate moments. The thought of being separated or disallowed from marrying you was an awful one. Soon Nana and Momo would feel the same way, they just needed to see you in action and spend some time with you.

"I'll admit, he looks like him – but that's where the similarities end!" Nana said as the trio waited for you to return from the bathroom. "Did you really fall head over heels for him after just one meeting, sis?"

"Yep, I did!"

Momo was much less harsh on her elder sibling, "I think he's cute. What's the problem with getting swept off your feet, Nana?"

"It's not normal to fall in love with some pervert after one meeting!"

Momo smirked; "You're just worried he won't like a flat-chested girl like you."
