OC McGee looked around. "Wow," he said, "this is a big house."
"Thank you." Sasuke said. "It's unfortunate I have to sell it but, it can't be helped."
"Why are you selling it?"
"Well the time skip's about to happen and my wife and I have decided to take our daughter out of the village to train her. You know, the regular stuff. There's really no point in keeping the house."
"Wait, I thought you'd train Boruto."
"Nah," Sasuke said, "he's turning into an alien god, my daughter is in much more need of training. I managed to avoid becoming irrelevant and I want the same for my daughter. Do you know what happens when a Hokage candidate becomes irrelevant in combat?"
"Trashahamaru memes?"
"Trashahamaru memes."
"Couldn't you just take Boruto too?"
"Two growing teenagers on a long-term trip together? This fic is rated K."
OC nodded. Then he looked up, "wait, K? I read the summary, how is that possible?" He squinted as he continued to look higher. Sure enough written next to the summary, the rating was K.
Sasuke shrugged. "Anyway, my family's always been traditional, so our house has some sections you may not be familiar with. I think the most important part left is the Harem."
OC blinked. "Harem?"
"Do you prefer Harīm? I believe that's the original Arabic. Though some prefer Haremlik."
"As part of the house?" OC asked baffled.
"Yeah, Sarada should have it cleaned out by now."
OC began calculating how much money he could spend as Sasuke led him deeper into the building before they finally came to a door near the back.
Sasuke knocked. "We're coming in!" He yelled. He turned back to OC, "we don't usually let men in here, but we'll make an exception for this."
"Come in," a voice OC identified as belonging to Uchiha Sarada answered.
They walked in, OC, bracing himself.
The room was mundane. Pink, with some decorations, some children's drawings and two beds. A young brunette girl with glasses and a Konoha headband sat on one bed. She stood up. "Good afternoon Dad. OC-san."
OC blinked. He looked around in confusion. "What is this?"
"It's the Harem." Sasuke said simply. "While I was travelling, my wife and daughter used to share this room."
OC blinked. "I'm confused."
Sarada shook her head. Unlike her more traditional and surprisingly sheltered dad, she had an idea what OC was thinking. "Sir, look down at the end notes."
OC blinked before doing so.
"Oh." He said deflating in his disappointment. What a time to be historically accurate.
"So?" Sasuke asked.
"I'll buy it." OC said, waving his hand.
"Really? I haven't even shown you the Selamlık. Though no one really goes there because I'm the only man in the house." Sasuke said. "I'll go see about drawing up the paperwork." He walked past OC.
Sarada smirked. "You really thought…"
"Yes." OC said turning around. He left, the laughter of the 12-year-old echoing behind him.

Harem - The word has been recorded in the English language since early 17th century. It comes from the Arabic ḥarīm, which can mean "a sacred inviolable place", "harem" or "female members of the family".
In Turkish of the Ottoman era, the harem, i.e., the part of the house reserved for women was called haremlik, while the space open for men was known as selamlık.
