Clyde gulped as he shut the door behind him . This trope up close and in real life made his horn nearly tear a hole in his pants .

"Alright Yuki, I know you're watching," he said . No response . Except from Chika who pinned him to the wall faster the Flash's best time . He couldn't get a word in as she stroked his horn and wildly kissed him . Her eyes radiated l.u.s.t as she stripped him . He wondered again why he wanted to go back to his boring a.s.s mundane college life .

"L—lewd!"

Both of them froze as Natalia and Nina stared at them .

"There are people here?" Clyde hissed, low enough for only Chika to hear . He zipped up his pants at lightning speed .

"No one was here for more than an hour," Chika whispered back . "Even Yuki didn't suspect anything . "

They looked at the two smirking lolis .

"Pervy-nii chan!" Natalia said . "Let me join . "

"I've got the cops on speed dial," Clyde said as he stood up straight, righting himself .

"And here I thought Alice had a tight rein on him," Nina said . "Then again, she isn't human . "

"Why are you here and not with Toru?" Clyde said .

"He told me to wait here for two hours," Nina said . "He accused me of bugging him . It's not my fault he wants to get all naked with the girl who came over . I need blood . "

"You could always suck some of pervy-nii's," Natalia said .

"She will be doing no such thing," Clyde said . Nina stepped toward the young man, hands raised and curling as if groping b.r.e.a.s.t.s . "Little girl, I said no . "

"Just a taste," the vampire loli said . She wiped drool from her chin . "Just a bit . "

[You are unaffected by attempted mental status alignment . ]

"You can't charm me," Clyde said then stepped behind Chika . "And she won't be happy if you bite me . "

"It'd be cute," Chika said, causing his evil grin to fall . He shot her a surprised glare .

"I thought you were on my side," Clyde said playfully . Nina drew closer, wiggling her tongue, then licking her lips .

"But she's so cute," Chika said .

"Kid I swear if you come near me . "

"I'll hold him!" Natalia said .

"Me too!" Chika said then turned to Clyde, grinning .

The young man gulped .

"You can't drink my blood, it's poisonous . "

"Your scent is wonderful," Nina said, groping at the air harder .

Clyde opened the door and bolted, only to b.u.mp and crash into a heap on Kitome . He looked at the glaring woman, hand cuffed with b.r.e.a.s.t.s, and gulped again .

"My bad," he said .

"You have five seconds to get off me or I'll make you…" She blushed with the intensity of a tomato when Clyde's face got really close to hers .

He could not for the life of him believe he somehow got caught up in an anime fall .

"Dogpile!" Nina cheered .

Clyde snapped out of his trance and evaded the loli vampire's attack . Her mouth ended up on Kitome's arm . Nina would've bitten if the magical girl's furious glare wasn't set on her . Clyde had made his way back into the house, laughing .

"Next time, bring your game," he called back . When he got to his room, he closed his warded door and relaxed .

[Quest: take all female party members on one date . Accept? Reward: gold achievement, 200,000 EXP . ]

Clyde blinked as he accepted . Another G.o.dd.a.m.n quest to add to his backlog . The system continued to be as evil as ever . He wouldn't be surprised to see sa.s.sy prompts upon a.n.a.lyzing non-hostiles again .

That early evening, he inspected his house's defense system, while in bed . Alice and Tear arrived not too long ago from mansion diving . The place was expected to be sold by Sat.u.r.day .

[Main barrier level: 6 . PP: 25 . BP: 25 . ]

There was just no use for this system, not yet . He hadn't made any enemies . Then it again, it could be protecting him from random intruders, perhaps even the Viper . Clyde dismissed the prompt and brought up the quest log, scanning once more . He checked his inventory .

There was a knock on his door .

"Come in," Clyde said . Harumi strolled in, bringing a smile to the young man's face . "Good evening . "

"Hi," Harumi said, taking a seat next to him . In fact, she laid her head on his shoulder . "Airi says she's coming to visit . "

Clyde's mouth dropped .

"The legend herself . When?" he asked .

"On Sunday," Harumi said . "You don't mind if she takes a room here, do you?"

"Of course not," Clyde said . They sat in silence .

"It feels like months have pa.s.sed since we were alone together," Harumi said . "This crazy ordeal started with just the two of us, then grew into something greater . We made Lot City safe again, dealt with all kinds of nasties . "

"Lot City isn't safe," Clyde said, then he took a breath and let it out . "There is one last hazard . "

Harumi gave him a skeptical glare .

"What do you mean?"

"It's something I…kept from everyone . Even told Melody not to speak of it," Clyde said . "Honestly, I haven't seen the thing since, but every now and then, I think I can sense it sp.a.w.n in the city . "

"What thing?" Harumi said .

"It calls itself the Abyss to the Blackness," Clyde said . "Melody and I encountered it during that cl.u.s.terf.u.c.k night of harpies and slimes . His level's four hundred sixty-four . " Before Harumi could open her mouth to speak, Clyde talked over her . "Never mind, I'm being a pessimist . Let's drop that . "

Harumi shot him a glare then sighed .

"This black abyss thing doesn't count . "

Clyde shrugged, then it hit him . Yuki mentioned it . What did she know of it?

[Quest: Ask Yuki about the Abyss to the Blackness . There is no penalty for ignoring this quest . ]

He nodded .

"So Airi's really coming to visit . "

Harumi smiled .

"I missed her so much . Sazuki practically squealed when I told her the news . " She held up a finger . "I forgot to tell you, Kiko will be coming over tomorrow for training with Tear and Yuki . She wants to thank you again . "

Clyde shrugged .

"Her thanks is for all of us," he said . They sat in silence for another half-minute . "Harumi, let's hang out Friday, just you and me . " She gave him a look of wonder .

"Just us? None of the others?"

"Just us," Clyde said . He didn't bring up the lame main character excuses 'blah blah blah, first friend, blah blah blah, showing me around, friends.h.i.+p, blah blah blah . ' No, this was a date . And he knew what kind of endgame he wanted .

"I want to see a movie," Harumi said . "The new romance that came out . " Her cheeks colored .

"Sure," Clyde said . He was neutral to the Romance genre .

[Date set! This is mandatory and cannot be ignored . Friday after cla.s.ses: time with Harumi!]

Sheesh System, way to lay on the dramatics, Clyde thought . A movie and a dinner didn't sound half bad for a Friday night . Especially with Harumi .

That night, Clyde snuck into the kitchen, applauding himself for managing to sneak out of Chika and Alice's holds without waking them .

First, he swiped one of Alice's cupcakes, devouring it in minutes then hopped on the local internet search engine to search for a basic recipe . In his opinion, he thought it was always best to start with the basics, just in case, the world's mechanics decided to turn his food into s.h.i.+t . He was an okay cook before the cooking system made itself known, but the young man didn't want to take chances .

[You must have the recipe to gain the cooking points . ]

"Are you f.u.c.king kidding me," he whispered . "It's right here . On the phone . "

[You can find recipes like item drops, win them, etc . Try asking Yuki for one of her recipes . She even has a stash of basics to get you started, desu . ]

He was trying to beat her in a cookoff, not become a pupil . Pride swirled around the young man like a rabid python . An idea struck him .

He quickly made his way to Yuki's room and tested the handle . Unlocked . Perfect . He slowly and carefully opened the door .

The demoness's room seemed to be slightly lit by moonlight, nice and tidy and incredibly feminine . He didn't have time to observe it though because she was looking right him, smiling .
