"What did you do after that?" Maya asks with clear intrigue.
"I somehow ended up in Babylonia and I went to Uruk to get the help of Gilgamesh, let's talk about the rest over dinner." I answered while making the finishing touches on this dish, I have a feeling I have been using this story a lot...
"You're cooking improved a lot in these past years... How much has passed anyway?"
"It's about to be five years" I say without holding back, lying to her is not a good move.
"Hmm to think I would take five years for me to get back up"
"Well, if it's any comfort I think you did great" I say with a smile while putting the dishes to the table while I am continuing my story.
Like I said it's about to be five years since we got here and Maya has made progress on healing, her mental trauma stopped being the major concern of course it's not healed it's not something that can heal in mere five years but she's back up on her feet.
She already went through a phase where she tried to seduce me into killing her and Caster's healing magic says she's mentally stable enough. At this point being couped up would be detrimental to her treatment.
"Wait you got high with the first hero of humanity?"
"Yeah it was awesome if I didn't fear the man I would have gone back for more" There's also the fact I might create trouble due to time traveling too much.
I already told Maya about most of my story, well the first thing she asked was my relationship...
She was surprised to learn there's four people in the harem (Now including Mayumi).
"So that's how you met your first wife..."
"Yeah although she did spend a millennia or two alone after I went back"
"You're aware that my promise was a lie right? I was just going to erase your memories."
"I know"
"Then why?"
"Because I knew you'd end up in my hands like this" She can take such jokes at this moment so it's fine.
"I indeed got played by someone younger" She thinks I am 30 with two lives truly I am mentally 50 or something now.
"Well you learned your lesson, so I doubt I can pull something like this again" I say while I can feel Maya move around the room towards the makeshift kitchen where I am washing the plates.
"There's no need for such things anymore." She hesitates for a bit before hugging my back.
"You don't have to force yourself"
"I have to start from somewhere, all I had in this five years was you, you can't deny you didn't expect this."
"Well my plan was this but you can't really say I didn't give you a choice you were the one that rejected help when I offered to bring your previous fiance"
"Yeah, sorry"
"Stop being sorry it's fine, I took advantage of the situation I am aware of it"
"Then make sure to take responsibility" Maya hits my back with a light punch.

"Maya-sama? you didn't neutralize the magician" Hayama says with a frown, there's a lot of people hiding around the room we just have left.
It's been exactly five years and Maya decided to leave on her own I am proud of her.
"Stop, I have underestimated Fujimaru, not even our "guard dog" can kill him" I am still confused over the fact that why she didn't tell me about Shiba siblings but her words did it's magic and poeple started trembling.
"Ma..maya-sama?"
"I am fine, I just spent five years getting my bearings, fall back I am not in danger and call Mitsugu to my room"
"Five years!?" Hayama is in shock.
"Dear can you?" Maya asks seeing that people moving towards us, and I flex my infinite power or how much of it I can handle to make people fall to their knees.
"Now, does anyone have any bright ideas? Good, call Mitsugu we have things to discuss"

We went to the dining room of the Yotsuba main house and Maya ordered food right away.
"I didn't eat any decent food in five years I am actually exited like a child."
"I thought you said my cooking was getting better?"
"Well dear, it was around 25 at the start now it's around 50 out of 100" She says without holding back.
"Ah my fragile heart!"
"Fufufu" Oh yeah I learned that she only does the onee-sama laugh with loved ones.
"Maya-sama, Kurobou-sama has arrived" Hayama informs and I can see some joy in his eyes when he looks at me, I wonder what's up with that.
"Yotsuba-sama, I hear you called for me" Mitsugu is really a professional man, he didn't even flinch when he saw me after I put him and his children to their knees back there.
I will have you know this man wanted Tatsuya dead when he was born since he was too powerful with an unstoppable spell.
Maya first gets the family affairs in place she had enough time to make plans in those years we spent but I haven't given her any future knowledge.
She also promised to give me the research done on MCA so I can create something better that will help Yotsuba.
We might be able to suppress them with power but they eventually speak behind our backs about this weird relationship.
I am also giving Multiverse TV to Yotsuba as well and they're going to share it with Saegusa if they agree on my engagement with Mayumi, not that I needed but it's good to have back up.
Cortana also finished her updates and made a schematic for Ultrimatrix herself since it's going to be her second home I didn't stop her FLT already got the schematics so I should have it soon enough...
'Cortana make sure Hliðskjálf doesn't have information on us, hell just give Maya full unrestricted access without USNA knowing'
[Done! I can finally have get my feet wet with the internet of 2095, you have been too paranoid about Hliðskjálf see I would have been fine before the update and ohh there's 4 petabytes of porn oh my they have so many categories]
I ignore Cortana gushing over futuristic porn.
"...By the way Hayama get me a god damned shrink, God knows I need one, Fujimaru I will be busy but please do come visit me on my free times." Maya says with a smile I nod and hug her before teleporting out of Yotsuba main house.

"So how was your meeting with Maya?" Yakumo asks after we got inside and I made sure we aren't being listened.
"She calls me daddy now" I say with a cheeky smile.
"*Coughing* what!?" Finally the shock I wanted to see this right here makes it worth it.
"God I love your expression" I say while I take photos of him.
"Stop explain properly!"
Sighing I start explaining what happened by the end of it Yakumo got back his sly smile.
"I see, you have done a good job son of mine just let your father handle the rest" I am actually enjoying the pride in his voice it's been a while since I saw my dad or "dad".
I wonder who's my biological parents in this world... Nah fuck them I don't care.

I am currently being ushered to the meeting room of Saegusa family by Mayumi herself, she looks jumpier than normal.
"What's up with you Mayumi you're acting weird?"
"It's just that uhhh you'll learn from my father just don't do anything disrespectful" I would like to say he shouldn't do anything disrespectful but in the end he's going to be a relative I can let it pass.
"It's going to be fine" I say as we enter, unfortunately following etiquette I bow a little before Kouichi asks Mayumi to leave the room
This bitch is wearing sunglasses in doors by the way, I know the reason but still...
"Fujimaru Ritsuka I believe you know the reason you're here?"
"Yeah, you want me to marry your daughter"
"Not very good with etiquette I see"
"It's not that I am not good at it I just don't like how people of this world pretend to be polite all the time"
"People of this world..."
"I have space magic you can't really rule out the possibility, scientists already confirmed there must be other dimensions" I confess my job here is already done and this guy is going to be family there's no need for secrets.
"Then why bother with my family or this world"
"I had some business here and I am genuinely interested in your daughter"
"Not good with negotiating..."
"I have good cards" I say as Kouichi's phone rings.
"Sorry I have to take this." Heh Leave the timing to Maya.
After around twenty minutes Kouichi comes back.
"I see that you made some arrangements for this." He says unable to hide the emotions behind his voice, he'd be having a stroke if he knew I had Maya in my harem alongside Mayumi.
Troll Fact: Saegusa Kouichi was the fiance of Maya before it was cancelled and now they're rivals, I am getting his daughter while having his former fiance on the side.
"Well, I am someone that makes sure there won't be any failure if it involves people I care about"
"I see, the deal Yotsuba made wasn't something I can reject even if our families not getting along and you did this just to marry my daughter, I don't know if I should be scared or happy"
"I prefer the latter, I will make sure Mayumi is happy and I will eventually give Saegusa and Yotsuba access to other worlds after all I am someone that takes care of his family" Yeah I have plans to eventually make a meeting point for all the worlds I am planning on settling down and let people from those world meet each other.
There will be a lot of political shit but I can handle it and not like author would write politics he's too lazy for that.
For the next 3 hours me and Kouichi discussed the terms of the engagement like when to go public and such things also I made myself available to be called by both Saegusa and Yotsuba if needed since I still want to see those Parasites.
I used Kaleidoscope and beta version of Regrowth made by me and Cortana to heal his eye so he won't wear sunglasses in doors, it's fucking uncomfortable. He and Maya also contacted Retsu to convince him, so I can heal Minoru to snip that plot twist before it comes up.
