    Howdy, it was a side chapter. I do not remember which one.

    This current arc is kingdom development and merchant stuff until the end where the main plot goes into overdrive. The author is basically using these chapters to officially introduce side characters into the main story (like the Ann and Chovy, that Gorgon girl with a wolf, etc).

    I cant tell you the exact place, but there is an extra, or mayb side story, of the Gods waiting for the bug (before makoto is yeeted to fight io), and in order to kill time they attune themselves to different people, Eris happens to be someone 2/3 gods can attune really well, Athena being the first one. Athena amuses herself with her and in return provides information/relations/dreams to Eris, it is also how Eris knows different tidbits parts of makoto's world and references, i.e magical girls, the written jap language.

    Don't remember the chapter number, but it was when they were being kept waiting for the Bug to come speak to the visiting gods. To avoid boredom Athena found a mortal with the right wavelength to be used as a viewing platform. Which was Eris. And to annoy Makoto she started giving Eris revelations and oracles on terms from Earth that would irritate Makoto.

    Athena must have been pissed that she could not move her arms for few hours due to her mock battle with Makoto so she taught Eris as a payback.

    I do enjoy when they do chapters like this but at the same time I don't really care for it.

    Trying not be spoiled but I still want to know, I caught up to novels daily releases at one point so I stopped to let the chapters build up. I stopped a little after the point where he finally 'consummated' his relationship with the two main girls in the bedroom. Yet why don't I see a polygamy tag yet? Is it that he hasn't officially married any of them so that's it?

    Polygamy is marriage related. So no, not yet married. Active double lovers, yes.

    For now only Tomoe and Mio. That could change in the future. Makoto is sort of the King of Asora, with vassals states like Kaleneon and eventually Tsige (speculation).

    As usual they need approval from both cause they have yandere tendencies. Hand shake take a second too long ? punched . Bragged about avenging his fingers? interrogated. Have a bath with Makoto? interrogated. Spend a night with Makoto? either give back their time or discipled. And above incidents are Shiki and Lime , both males.

    I really doubt it though. Mio and Tomoe have had quite a bit of character development, and although Tomoe could be convinced (due to her desire to maximize the number of descendants the vastly-shorter-lifespan* Makoto has), Mio would be a hard stop. If Mio was first instead of Tomoe there wouldn't even be a duo. There are series that would have a Mio-like character suddenly get a partial lobotomy and suddenly be okay with/not back-alley murder any further contenders but I don't think Tsuki is one of them. Do we remember how much attention Mio was paying to the MC's interactions with Hibiki? She came to the correct conclusion that it wasn't going to go anywhere / the two of them wouldn't be able to see eye-to-eye but she was very much keeping track of that. If they started falling for each other the world would probably be down a heroine.

    Given how dense the MC is, it is infeasible that anything could progress too far for Mio to stop before she found out about it. What other contenders are there, even? Most side characters that had any interest in Makoto / Makoto showed any interest in have already found a BF and/or have even gotten married already. There's that one researcher lady, I guess, one of Rembrant's daughters is still single (IIRC), and Root. Root has no chance. There are many other female characters but none of them have ever shown romantic interest in the MC. Ema, for example, is one that people tend to imagine joining despite the total lack of interest she and the MC have shown in that ever happening. His Earth-side female friends?

    Tsuki may have its flaws, but letting side characters be their own people has been a strength of the series and stuffing more ladies into the harem would involve some extremely forced plot contrivances that went against previously established characterization.

    *I suspect his lifespan is not as short as they think, it was noted very early on that magical power has some effect on lifespan IIRC and he has insane amount of it.

    ------------------------

    The only chance would be if Tomoe managed to recruit Mio regarding the mass-baby plan, but Tomoe doesn't appear to have seriously considered how much of her personal time with Makoto she'd lose if she did that and it'd definitely come up once Mio was privy to the idea. Whatever horrifying breeding plan came out of that discussion would probably be shut down by the MC. Artificially insemination, maybe? Vats? Monstrous surrogates? Memory erasure?

    Why must you give me an essay from two sentences???? :eek:

    @DustySpiral

    Mio is a much more complex character than other people make her out to be (she's not a singled celled yandere, she's cunning too in her own way). Hibiki had a hidden agenda with Makoto and Mio wanted to ease Makoto's burdens by showcasing their unfiltered strength. Unlike others Mio prioritizes his interests the most. Tomoe really did not mind what number she was and Mio has got her wish of being loved. They will mellow out once they are pregnant (shoguns had harems or lords). In all honesty, this really should have happened much earlier in the series.

    Japanese have a weird notation with pregnant women (no more snu snu when pregnant, so husband gets a new lover in the feudal Japan days). Once they become mothers, the affection kind of just halts. Mothers are viewed kind of as sacred (even though there is quite a lot of cheating in the background).

    It is hard to go from 1 lover to 2 lovers, but going from 2 lovers to 3 or 4 is not that big of a hurdle.

    Toa never had any feelings from the start (closer to admiration and respect for a savior). Readers simply assumed she was like the two girls that liked him back on Earth. Silf (unrequited love) and Yuno (dropped out of the race and is dating Misura-brat). The gorgon's definitely are aiming for children with Makoto. People used to ship Haruka with Makoto before she died (?). If BUG is Artemis (archery specialist) and if Makoto's parents words are to be believed as foreshadowing then that maiden goddess (possibility). Kaleneon sisters (librarian and waitress girl) are left to be developed. The two girls left on Earth is a possibility (they would need to track down a god to help them or otherwise no hope there, but they have initiative). The dark elf girls are a wild card (getting advice from gods in the extras). Tamaki's development is a question mark too. No idea where the story will go 400 chapters from now.

    I agree with you that Makoto is probably going to live longer than he expects (whether he admits it or not). The three war gods probably expect him to be a god slowly. Makoto's trials kind of resemble Susanoo's and Hachiman's road to godhood. Tamaki being "evil" feels like a prank that gods would play.

    The LN is marketed as harem, so I expect more people than just 2 by the end of it. As long as Root and Hibiki are not in it, then all is well. Anyway, the girls need to take initiative since Makoto is a dense blockhead. He needs to become more human first to notice these things earlier or through divine intervention.

    It's certainly true Mio had more than one agenda with the Hibiki stuff.

    I think being a complex character, however, works against further harem development not towards it. Like, why would she stop caring about being able to spend time with Makoto because she had a kid? Tropes aside, does that really make sense for Mio? I think my previous post overly emphasized the yandere stuff - it's more that Mio loves Makoto, values her time with him, and is proactive. She does take his desires to heart more than anyone else, hence my note that Makoto's personality doesn't lend itself towards a 3rd relationship to getting "too far" before Mio found out about it. If not for that aspect of her there wouldn't be a "too far" in the first place.

    Also, although you have a point about going from 1-2 vs 2-3, in this case Makoto basically went from 0 to 2. He started a double relationship, and that isn't the same as going from 1-2. The main reason the later jumps are easier is because someone going from 1-2 has already violated any sense of exclusivity once so why not twice. Makoto hasn't done that. Also, dense as he is, he does take the feelings of Tomoe and Mio into account. He knows they like spending quality time with him, and Mio at least would be saddened if he split his free time with additional ladies. That by itself could be enough to halt any further harem growth.

    The gorgons would likely be the best bet if they didn't seem to override the bloodline. Otherwise they'd be a good fit for Tomoe's plan since they (?I think?) don't stick around the father. Tomoe's plan in general is pretty much the only way someone else is getting in at this point, IMO, in that you'd need a woman to move quickly with Makoto and then Tomoe latches onto that and pushes it the rest of the way and then convinces Mio to go along with it. Still a stretch, but if the author is extremely determined to shoehorn more ladies into the harem that could be done.

    On marketing.. I mean it has the harem tag but if it was marketing itself as being a big harem we're over 300 chapters in and very few female characters have shown any romantic interest in Makoto. We've also had Makoto & Shiki adventures for long stretches of plot. That said, I don't know what the author's been pushing PR-wise. Tomoe & Mio appear very prominently in covers and such, and could certainly be said to be major draws? I'm personally hoping for the slim chance of their relationship developing further (even if it takes 100 chapters between jumps >.>). I don't think we can both get what we want in that respect - if the plot suddenly starts bending in a way that'll give more women a real chance it'll mean some aspect of the plot has halted any deeper mutual commitment.

    (I also hope that Makoto has kids by the time he reconnects with Earth, as I feel that would result in some interesting developments / open up some fun plotline possibilities.)

    @DustySpiral

    Going from 0-2 lovers is major progress. It means Makoto is not 100% set on his modern Japanese beliefs on monogamy. Just like how Makoto and co. are influencing their surroundings, they too are being influenced by everyone else. In that world, polygamy is the norm.

    The alternative timelines with Makoto2-3-4 had bad endings when Tomoe and Mio monopolized him. If Makoto really noticed their subtle feelings he would have saved Shiki and Lime from their suffering already. So I believe this new timeline will be very different in terms of relationships. I said Gorgons, but there are other races that are interested in Makoto like mermaids and demon princess originally.

    It would be interesting seeing some races that applied for immigration to Asora that were rejected, re-apply for immigration after changing for the better.

    In Kuro no Maou, it was a harem from the start, but we had two girls from the longest time, then suddenly two new girls after 400-500 chapters.

    I am kind of worried that Root might get in..... that thing is assertive to a scary extent. I prefer human form Futsu than Root. Or even the responsible Sand Dragon from Gritonia. Waterfall dragon can stay dead.
