My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

“Really?” Scáthach pulled out a thick stack of bills: “This is the debt you incurred by freeloading in the Fairy Kingdom. In that case, let’s settle the bill.”

Oberon: "...Damn it!"

"Now you have two choices: behave yourself as the emcee and host the wedding, or give me your money back."

"..."

"Hurry up and make a decision. There's not much time left tonight. I'm still waiting to go to the bridal chamber."

"Um, Oberon, you'll help me, right?" Levi looked at him hopefully.

This is a boy I've nurtured and watched over since he was a child. You think you can make me give in to a mere bill? Don't underestimate me, you bastard. Do you think I'm that kind of person?

Magicians must have backbone!

Just as he took a deep breath, intending to adopt the demeanor of an elder to refute Scáthach, the other party offered a new price.

“Li Wei placed a magical restriction on you, so that if you try to deceive someone, you will fall into the illusion of kissing Merlin, right?” Scáthach said, “I can remove it.”

"hiss--!"

Oberon gasped and turned to look at Levi.

"Um, Oberon?"

“Men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. You are not young anymore. I think Scáthach is the perfect match. Why don’t you just go for it?” This unparalleled swindler changed his face in an instant, and his clothes also turned into a suit: “She is only a few thousand years older than you, which is just right. We all agree to this marriage. Just wait to be the groom.”

Really good at judging people!

Chapter 46 None of you are any good.

"How could the three of you be so disloyal?"

Li Wei stared in disbelief as the three men, whether threatened or bribed, so easily betrayed him.

Oh no, is she really going to marry Scáthach-sensei now? Although I like her a lot too, she's only the fourth choice for marriage in her mind—the first three being Shiki, Ori, and Ryougi.

"Master, do you need my help?" It was at this moment that the voice of his own entertainment angel came from the depths of Li Wei's soul.

Icarus is the best! You're definitely the most trustworthy person right now.

Yes, this dream was blocked by Sister Meryl just now, but now she has turned into a roasted sow, and the dark thing being trampled under the feet of the Queen of Sheba is her. The blocking effect has naturally disappeared.

Thinking of this, Levi immediately rallied his spirits and gave the order to Icarus: "Alpha, can you get me out of here now?"

"Not for now. It will take about two hours to break through this blockade."

That's way too late. In two hours, I should already be the Prince of the Land of Shadows.

"However, I can send in some helpers."

"Is this even possible?" The boy's spirits lifted.

"Of course, the Icarus Network was created for your happiness. If you wish, I can send invitations to all timelines centered on you, bringing those willing to help to your side."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's do it right now."

Having practiced medicine for many years and helped countless people, I must have forged many deep friendships across countless timelines. Now is the time when I need to be saved, and I'm sure everyone will rush to help me out of this predicament.

Under the Shadow Queen's astonished gaze, a dazzling light emanated from Levi's body, and a powerful burst of magic erupted. With her profound knowledge of magic, she immediately realized that this was a summoning spell.

As the light faded, Li Wei awaited reinforcements with unwavering confidence, wondering who would come to his rescue.

He must be a well-mannered and polite gentleman, right?

With these thoughts in mind, Li Wei saw several figures appear before him—Leon, Ryunosuke Akasaka, Houtarou Oreki, Kousaku Hata, and Iori Kitahara, his subordinates in the zombie apocalypse worldline.

Well, thinking about it that way, it makes sense. After all, their loyalty to me is at its maximum, and their timelines are close together, so it's perfectly reasonable for them to come and help save me first.

"Don't worry, boss, we know about your situation and will definitely help you solve it." Kitahara Iori addressed him with the familiar address of a junior to his boss.

“That’s right, we have limited abilities, but we will do our best. Anyone who tries to force you will have to step over our dead bodies first.” Hata Kousaku said loyally.

"Boss, you really messed up with women, huh? Not surprising at all." This comment, made while vowing to protect her to the death, naturally came from Oreki Houtarou.

"Women are terrifying. With this experience as a lesson, I will never fall for a woman's tricks again," Leon muttered to himself.

"Stop making sarcastic remarks, the boss is still in danger." The last to speak was Ryunosuke Akasaka, who was still dressed in a maid outfit.

"That's great, you guys are really reliable." Although he knew that these people were no match for Scáthach, Levi was still very moved.

I knew I hadn't misjudged them; they were all promising talents. But Ryunosuke, why are you still dressed as a woman?

"Don't worry about the details," Ryunosuke said confidently. "Anyway, last time the boss protected us. This time, we'll protect him!"

Before Ryunosuke could finish speaking, the second, third, and even the Nth wave of people who received the message were summoned.

"We'll protect our boss!"

A large group of girls from the underworld, including Ryougi Shiki, Arcueid, Rin Tohsaka, Yomi Isayama, Rias, and many more, make a dazzling appearance.

"We will protect the Great!"

A large group of female classmates, including Saeko Busujima, Hinagiku Katsura, Tsubasa Hanekawa, Kazusa Touma, and Yukino Yukinoshita, make a dazzling appearance.

"We'll protect you!"

A large group of ancient Japanese people and yokai, including Hagoromo Gitsune, Ruri Kogyo, Ai Enma, Kikyo, Byakuren Hijiri, and Yuuko Kō, make a dazzling appearance.

"We'll protect them!"

A large group of older, marriage-hungry female teachers, including Shizuka Hiratsuka, Misato Aikawa, Kyou Fujibayashi, Yomikawa, and Mafuyu Kirisu, make a dazzling appearance.

"We'll protect you!"

A large group of juniors or daughters, including Misaka Mikoto, Maria, Himeragi Yukina, Ryougi Mina, Akashiya Moka, and others, make a dazzling appearance.

"Protect!"

A large group of married women or older sisters, including Shizuka Marikawa, Rika Minami, Yukinoshita and her daughter, Yoko Touma, and Himeko Akashima, make a dazzling appearance.

"Protect!"

A large group of Fairy Kingdom members, including Morgan, Caster, the Three Fairy Knights, Noknare, Gareth, and many others, made a dazzling appearance.

"!"

Lucy, Himari, Ibuki Doji, Shinobu, and a whole host of other angels who look like Icarus make a dazzling appearance as members who have a contract with Levi.

The number of people is increasing rapidly and dramatically. Although it is impossible to count them all at once, it has definitely exceeded four figures and is still increasing.

Li Wei knew some of these girls, had a vague impression of some, and didn't remember some at all. They were the kind of girls who would fall in love with Li Wei at first sight and be doomed for life.

They were almost all women, with the few men huddled together, trembling as they looked at the beautiful women before them.

Li Wei: "..." Oh right, many of those willing to help him are his female confidantes, which makes things even more chaotic now.

Are all these girls I've had connections with in various worlds? Isn't that a bit too many? Why are Marisa and Reimu here too? Did I add them to my harem in some timelines?

"Wow, so many people are willing to risk their lives to help Li Wei. I thought they only came to me." A seemingly unremarkable girl looked around and said casually, "A wedding! The chance to marry Li Wei!"

Upon hearing this, the girls began to stir like sharks smelling blood.

Kato, stop making things worse. I can see you now.

"Hey, you computer repair guy, I don't think I heard what you just said." Nanri Kaori looked at Ryunosuke, who was protecting the boy, and said in a rather unfriendly tone, "Could you repeat that to me?"

"Um..." At first, the boy in women's clothing was a little scared, but then he remembered that he had comrades behind him and decided to look at them to encourage him.

The result was that Lyon and his group had already gone to the guest seating area below to prepare for the meal, pretending that nothing had happened.

Ryunosuke's courage melted away in an instant, like the snow in the Sahara Desert.

"I said there was a problem with the wedding's back-end system, and I was about to go get the computer fixed."

Ryunosuke glanced at Li Wei with a helpless look, then turned and went down to join the meal and wait for the dishes to be served.

This is even bigger trouble now.

Chapter 47 The Extraordinary Wedding

"Our leader shouldn't be insulted by these women, right?" Oreki Houtarou, still possessing a conscience, couldn't help but glance at the stage.

At this moment, facing the sea of ​​girls, Li Wei was filled with despair, his whole being burned away, turning into snow-white ash.

“Alright, I’ll give you the gun. You can split into several thousand groups and surround those girls who number over four figures.” Leon slammed the gun on the table.

"Thinking about it carefully, this isn't bad at all. Let's wait for the feast, I wonder what dishes will be served." Oreki Houtarou immediately retracted his previous statement.

"I just asked the puppet waiter over there, and he said that they spent a lot of money to hire a top-level chef from China, so the taste will definitely not be bad."

"That Mary is such a good person, spending so much money on the boss's wedding. I wonder what she's after. I don't think she's among those women."

"Perhaps she's the girl who secretly loves the boss; they really are a pair of star-crossed lovers."

……

After witnessing the scene before him, the few saviors concluded with three consecutive "It's hopeless, just wait to die, goodbye," plunging Li Wei into a crisis even greater than the engagement banquet.

After all, the number of girls he got engaged to last time was less than three digits, but this time it has exceeded four digits, and there is a steady stream of new girls coming.

"Avi, are you unhappy to see us...?" the angelic brown-haired girl asked with concern.

"No, Setsuna, I'm overjoyed." Looking at Kogiso next to Kazusa, Li Wei forced a smile. How should he handle this situation?

Tell everyone everything is alright and everyone can go home? But this is a wedding venue, they won't let me off easily.

But surrendering and waiting for death was something he was unwilling to face. A man should take the initiative: "So everyone, don't push. Rias and Akeno, move back a little. Sanzenin and Shinomiya are almost suffocating from being jostled by you two... Reimu, stop making things worse. Fake amulets aren't allowed here. Kikyo, keep an eye on her... Nijika, Pochi is fifteen meters to your right. Because there are so many people, this autistic girl is almost fainting..."

The noise and jostling were so intense that if everyone hadn't been so obedient, there might have been several murders where people were suffocated by being thrown at each other.

Everyone looked at each other, each feeling that these people were their enemies. They formed small groups of three or five, clearly divided into distinct factions.

"Cough cough..."

"I already used the excuse that you are all my wings last time," said Yukino, the older sister, protecting her mother and sister. "If you use that excuse again, no one will believe you."

These words were like a signal; the girls, who had calmed down a bit, started to stir again, as if the third Livy War was about to begin, and the situation was sliding in the worst possible direction.

The saying goes, "An inch of harem is worth an inch of blood." Having taken so many girls, one has to pay with one's life.

Li Wei gritted his teeth, preparing to bite the bullet and go for it.

Then, at this time...

"Ahem, let's test the microphone. It works great. Ryunosuke, you're not only good at computer repair, but you're also good at adjusting the speakers."

Li Wei looked up and saw that on the previously empty second-floor balcony, Oberon had taken up a high position with a microphone, with Gintoki, who had been beaten to the point of questioning his existence, and Romani, who was deeply worried about the future, beside him, and Akasaka Ryunosuke, who was adjusting the sound system below.

[Avi, I previously wrote a guide to building a harem of a thousand people, but it seems the number isn't enough now. Good luck to you.]

[Is it fun for you brat to build a harem? In the end, isn't it me, a handsome man from Yoshiwara's red-light district, who comes to your rescue?]

[Is this the last ripple we three will ever make? Please accept it!]

Although they didn't say anything, the three hosts and emcees probably conveyed the same meaning through their eyes.

Seeing Li Wei's predicament of being imprisoned, they still stood up bravely, proving themselves worthy of being Li Wei's guardians.

"Welcome everyone to this wedding. The groom is Li Wei. Brides, please change into your wedding dresses immediately, as time is running out and it will be dawn soon." Looking at the hesitant girls below, Romani decided to deliver a stern warning: "Anyone not wearing a wedding dress will be considered a guest. Please do not linger on the stage and disrupt the wedding proceedings."

The women are currently united in their goals and share a common hatred for the enemy, making them no match for him. Under these circumstances, he, as the king, skillfully chose to divide and conquer them, using the Ten Commandments to conjure countless wedding dresses in the background, hoping to distract them first.

After hearing those words, although she felt it was a bit too lenient on Li Wei, she felt inferior because others were wearing wedding dresses while she wasn't.

Just think about it, when it comes to vying for a man, everyone else will be the bride, so what will your status be?

So everyone scattered in a noisy rush. Even Sister Meryl and Aozaki Touko, who had been pretending to be dead to take advantage of the chaos, got up as if nothing had happened and quickly changed into their wedding dresses and made their appearance.

This is no longer the Quintessential Quintuplets; everywhere you look, there are girls in wedding dresses... Of course, there are also some married women and non-human beings.

"Now we will proceed to the second part of the wedding ceremony. The groom will read his wedding vows." Sakata Gintoki shoved a prepared script into Li Wei's arms, signaling him to read it quickly before the girls realized what was happening and to get things done first.

There was originally supposed to be a segment where the groom is asked if he is willing to marry the bride, but considering there were too many people, and it would be dawn by the time the entire roster was read out, it was simply omitted.

Time is life, that's no joke. If the girls wait too long to calm down, they'll get stabbed in the back.

"I, Li Wei, ask you to be my wives, my life partners, and my lovers."
