It felt like a f.u.c.king hour pa.s.sed, but at last his entire party was together . There was a sensation that briefly surged from Harumi as she healed everyone, something that he'd never felt before—well maybe during the dual-attack thing they once did—but the young man decided to leave it be . Harumi was his first friend and companion in this world . If she kept something from him, let it be . Of course, he could always a.n.a.lyze her, but now wasn't the time . No matter how much that electric aura bugged him .

She seemed to be petting Ruri frequently too, treating the pet.i.te girl like a younger sister . What was up with that?

Clyde listened to everyone's stories while trying not to focus on Alice, sleeping in his lap . It was a small wonder that his erection didn't catapult the half-demoness to Mars .

"Harumi's so cool," Ming said, stars in her eyes . She wrapped her arms around the innocent pink-haired girl's waist, eyes filled with stars . Harumi sighed .

"It's true," Yusuke said .

"I didn't know humans could handle that much lightning magic," Ruri said . She looked as if she was about to sniff the air, but Harumi interrupted with a firm voice .

"I've practiced in the magic for a while," she said . "My friend, Airi, kept me from killing myself . " With a struggle, she wiggled her way out of Ming's embrace . "Let's Jump before the people become aware again . "

"Ruri and I will be sticking around a little longer," Yusuke said . "And I'm in no rush to go home . "

Ruri darted to Clyde and whispered in his ear .

"Don't forget about Matsume . She plans to pop in on you . "

"No, a h.e.l.lhound popping—" Ruri hurried away with Yusuke, smiling and waving before Clyde could voice his objection .

"I still have a signing to do," Ming said . "But if you don't mind, I'd like to hang out sometime . Get to know everyone . "

"Just don't bring any BL books," Seth said . Ming blushed, eyes burning with indignation . Clyde initiated the Jump before that had the chance to spark into bickering .

Seth and Toru went home, declining Clyde's offer to stay over . Toru's reason was for Fumi and settling Nina in, though the gothic loli insisted on living with Clyde . The young man wasn't having it . Seth wanted to get back to his studies . Apparently, he set up a trap for Julius in the case of him returning to the house .

Harumi, offered Sazuki and Kiko a stay . They'd surprise their mother in the morning .

"We'll take your offer," Tear said . "Well, Natalia, what are you waiting for? Go find one of his giant baths and get it started . "

Natalia hopped off Clyde's back, muttering some choice words . Harumi led Kiko to her room, but Sazuki stayed behind . Alice and Chika yawned and left, mumbling about baths .

[Your relations.h.i.+p with Sazuki has increased to friend level 10 and endearment . ]

Tears fell from her eyes as she practically dove into Clyde's arms .

"Thank you . Thank you," she whispered . "Thank you . "

[Sazuki has joined your party!]

[Sazuki has decided to get to know you . She is interested . ]

[Sazuki hopes to be a part of your future, but she is unsure of her feelings right now . You must get to know her . ]

[Quest: get to know Sazuki overtime . This quest is auto-accepted, but there is no penalty for ignoring it . Rewards: unknown . ]

Clyde took the time to accept the rewards from the vampire kill quest . He wasn't sure if he completed that one . Teamwork was amazing .

The student council president composed herself after five minutes . Kiko, who watched from the hall, nodded at Clyde, mouthing "thank you" then continued her way .

[Your relations.h.i.+p with Kiko has increased to friend level 10- intensely s.e.xually interested . Warning, Kiko cannot yet control her vampiric urges . If she sees an opportunity, she will rap e you . ]

Clyde kept a composed face, but inside, he remembered that vampire girls were monster girls . Although to be fair, Tear and Yuki planned to teach her control . A year with the vampire douche lords and she still hadn't learned . Another flag was how Nina clearly seemed happy to be out of the hands of her clan . They had little freedom .

"If there's anything you need, Clyde, please let me know . Anything," Sazuki said . "And teach me this power thing . I'll be glad to fight with you . "

Clyde shrugged .

"Sure . You can call me, sensei," he chuckled . "I'm k—"

"Sensei it is," Sazuki said .

"I was just ki—"

"A declaration is a declaration, no take backs," she said . "Or do I have to lecture you . "

"But I'm the tea—oh ho-ho, you almost got me," Clyde said . "But seriously, Clyde will do . "

"Sensei or maybe Clyde-sensei," Sazuki strolled forward and kissed him on the cheek . "Thank you again, Sensei . And good night . "

He would've watched her go—because the president had a nice sway, but Yuki was there, smiling .

"Maki, you're dismissed for the night . Go bath and sleep . You may watch TV for thirty minutes . "

Maki nodded to Yuki then scurried off, but not before surprising everyone in the room, hugging Clyde . She was gone before anyone could say a word .

"Don't let up on her," Clyde said .

"Pssh, who do think I am," Yuki said . "I've made her pay for her crimes twenty-times over and I'm still not done with her . She'll be your humbled spy yet . "

Clyde nodded .

"Am I…wrong for doing it?" He sat on the couch, yukata opened just a bit to reveal gym shorts and a s.h.i.+rt . He followed his own instructions . None of the women did .

"Don't be ridiculous," Yuki said . "Just leave her to the warden . " She sat next to Clyde . "You said you wanted a redeemed girl and by your name, I'll give you one . "

He nodded . "By the way, Master Clyde, after your bath, I'd like my show . "

"Tonight? Aren't you tired?"

"Oh don't try to play the human act," Yuki said . "You're tired, but not that tired . Besides," she kissed him . "A wager is a wager and I'm calling your debt . You wouldn't deny me, right?"

"Alright fine, I'll give you your d.a.m.n show," Clyde said . "Don't expect—"

"I'll be telling you what I want you to do in the show," Yuki said . "You just be ready for…" she trailed off and Clyde's mountain threatened to burst through his pants . It was just a show, right? Yuki being Yuki—except, at last, he'd finally…He was sure she wouldn't put him through another tease . Not that it mattered .
