She forced away the thoughts of his aggression during her adolescent years. When she turned seventeen, they finally stopped, and he ignored her since, leaving the young woman to piles of paperwork and finances. Finally, he was dead. Dead, dead, dead, dead! DEAD! Mei laughed and cheered, tears falling from her eyes.
"Lady Mei," the maid said. "I’m leaving."
Mei hugged her.
"Good luck," Mei said. "I’m so glad it’s over."
She pulled the former maid back to look at her. "You’re only fourteen. Ripped from your family and forced to be a slave to disgusting Ashfall trash. I want you to live free for me, but especially yourself. And never take anyone’s crap again."
Mei gave the girl all of the money in her purse. Five thousand dollars. She also handed her a gold coin with a volcano on it.
"Flash this and you’ll get free admittance and meals at any hotel. You’ll be treated like royalty."
"What about you, Lady Mei," said the former maid.
"Call me Mei. And I’m going back to the mansion. I may take all the valuables and blow it up if all the maids fled as you did."
"It…belongs to the adventurer who killed the Ashfall," the former maid said. "An adventurer that was with Alice Hades, ironically."
Mei laughed.
"Well, I suppose I have nowhere else to go but back home."
"He hasn’t been back since yesterday," the former maid continued. "But deeds and family accounts are somehow all his."
Mei nodded.
"How is he, as a person?"
"I don’t know him that well," the maid said. "He’s mysterious. Doesn’t seem like he’s from around here or…anywhere I know. But my guess is that Alice Hades brought him in to destroy the Ashfalls and I always did like her."
Mei grinned.
"Agreed. If I could, I’d marry her."
She laughed. The former maid chuckled nervously, allowing a trickle of sweat to fall from the back of her head.
"I’ll go survey the house and then find this hero. If anything, Tear or Maki should know where he’s at."
"Maki…" the former maid gulped. "That human scares me. A human, scaring a demoness."
Mei’s grinned widened.
"She may be human, know nothing of what we are, but when it comes to reliability, she’s one of my go-to girls. I don’t know why she bothers attending that stupid academy when she could have anything she wants."
"Rumors say she’s growing an obsession with some boy."
"I didn’t see her with any boy when I visited her a couple of days ago," Mei said. "And…she sort of came onto me. That girl has some magic fingers—oh!"
The young, former maid took a step back, uncomfortable. "Sorry, I forgot that you’ve managed to keep your innocence despite living in that hell house. Go ahead and catch the train. I’ll call your family to let them know you’re on the way. And if they don’t give you a warm welcome, they’ll pay."
"Lady Mei, I can’t thank you enough," the former maid said, tears streaming.
"Live," Mei said then strolled off to face the estate that once held her prisoner.
Labido Grasslands. Hot springs inn. Time: Late Afternoon…
Clamp-clamp! Clamp-clamp!
Clyde’s skill, Binder’s hand failed, unable to overcome Alice’s ridiculous magical resistance. In the end, he decided that a tactical retreat was the best idea. Arms pulled him into a side closet.
"Ssh."
He waited with the assailant in dim lighting, his head resting on soft…large breasts. Alice passed by without looking. A few minutes later, the clamping faded off in the background. He hoped Natalia or Tear caught up to her before it was too late.
"I don’t know what happened to her after she left Chika’s room," Harumi said, "but she’s acting like a bunny in heat."
Clyde let out a breath of relief. Lady Luck must’ve smiled on him—because there was nobody who’d shower the young man with more compassion than Harumi.
"You don’t know how happy I am to see you," he said softly. "Do you want to grab some lunch? Well, after changing out of…"
Harumi in her robe. He forced himself not to let this mind fall into the gutters just yet. Lunch and some water—that didn’t sound too bad right about now.
"That sounds like a good idea actually," Harumi said. "There’s a picnic table near the forest’s edge. We could get away from the others and eat in peace."
She gave him a mischievous smile. Clyde returned it, though he had no idea the pink-haired girl had two meals planned for him. "It’s a cloudy day. Let’s just eat in our robes."
[Volume 3.] Episode 17 (Part 7)
One thing that always amazed Clyde was just how good food looked in anime. While it mostly portrayed Japanese food, other countries weren’t left out of the mix. The same couldn’t be said for Lot City—it clearly mirrored anime Tokyo or some other major city. Clyde once read a brochure that revealed strange foods he never heard of—but that was to be expected of this dimension. Original food.
However, for this lunch, the duo ate from a variety of Japanese food including onigiri, takoyaki, and a few other selections.
Despite the cool cloudy day, the forest less than a few meters away, made him feel uneasy. Fortunately for him, Harumi was there like the ray of sunshine on a rainy day. Or Maybe ice cream of a hot summer day. The duo sat on towels of course—nobody wanted bare ass nor underwear on benches.
They talked for at least an hour after the meal, learning more about each other. Clyde was careful not to mention anything about the pink-haired girl’s family. She talked about goals and even cooking school.
He nodded approvingly.
"You’re the best cook I’ve ever met," he said truthfully, mentally apologizing to his momma. "You’ve got to teach me sometime."
Clyde knew how to follow directions but that wasn’t the same as being a great cook. Anyone could look up a recipe from the internet and follow the instructions. Chefs can make miracles and have those miracles dance upon the customer’s tongue.
"You’re just saying that," Harumi said, blushing. She turned away but didn’t look at the forest. Good. He wasn’t the only one.
"Have I ever once turned down your cooking?" Clyde said. "Like I said, best I’ve ever had."
She gave him a million dollar, maybe poster girl smile, then suddenly caught the young man off guard with a kiss. She moved in on him, while stroking his horn, eyes longing, maybe predatory. The other half of Harumi. Just thinking about how he was about to nestled all over Harumi tripled, maybe quadrupled the strength of his erection. This side of the girl spawned out of nowhere, sometimes in front of others.
Like sitting on his lap, knowing he’d get a massive boner or the time when she spent the night at his place, crawled in his blankets. They went at it for maybe three hours, switching positions and even apartments. The women of this dimension were turning him into some kind of sex fiend, but he’d be lying to himself if he said he didn’t enjoy every moment of it. He counted his blessings that Natalia didn’t try him. He’d board up his room door and call the cops on her.
Harumi pulled open his robe first. He followed up, revealing the goldmine of breasts. His erection became steel. And to think he tried to avoid her on the first day they’ve met. Strange, because Chika was the last person, he would’ve thought to turn out to be a yandere. Silver-haired characters were the dangerous ones—he should’ve remembered that from certain RPGs.
Clyde laid Harumi onto the table and gleefully took in a mouthful of breasts.
"I think it’s time for you to eat your second meal," Harumi said and before he knew it, she guided his head all the way to her treasure. The scent of soaps and hot springs still outlined it. He obliged. The second his tongue took the first long lick, Harumi clutched him tight with her legs, convulsed, and came on his face. It splashed too—putting anime and perhaps the darker side of anime’s logic to the test.
Clyde sat up and gave her a blank stare. She smiled weakly.
"You finished your meal too quickly."
"Oh really?" Clyde said as he wiped his face with a nearby towel. Holy shit that was a lot, he thought. "Well, there’s no harm in going for seconds."
He sat her up in a reverse cowgirl position. She, however, took control of the ride and the two danced a waltzed that rocked the picnic table.
"This is what you’ll miss if you keep ignoring me," Harumi said, bucking triple speed. Clyde felt the climax near. She leaned back and met him with a kiss. Then the pink-haired girl took it to the next level, slipping her tongue inside his mouth.
The young man never experienced much of tongue kisses until Chika got him. Ecstasy and bliss overtook him. The thrust went on for forty-five minutes before they switched positions. Clyde took control of the ride on top. He watched Harumi’s breasts bounce—just looking at them seemed to double his hardening.
[Desu, I can’t believe I’m doing this, but congratulations, you have unlocked a new system. Libido Power. You gain special benefits for having intimacy with women. Your benefits will double for wives.
Sex will increase a form of power within you called spirit energy or Ki. Building up this power will enable you to unleash powerful attacks, perform normally unattainable special abilities, contain a second, Ki-based, ultimate attack, integrate Ki with your combat style and martial arts and much more as you adjust to the system.
Let it be known that each partner house elements which will incorporate into some of your skills or even form temporary skills, even if the element isn’t already apart of you. You also must try new things in the bedroom or the Ki inside will eventually lose interest. Your partner will most likely decide when she’s ready for that.
Harumi’s elements are: Life, Lightning, and Heart. You will earn + 1 to each after climaxing. Kissing passionately can sometimes increase a single stat, but sexual encounters guarantee an increase to all elements. Build them up to their max, even overflow, to have special advantages over your enemies. You are the only one able to use this system.]
Clyde almost released into Harumi, but pushed against her iron-like hold to unload into the air. She climaxed all over his stomach. They both panted, she rested on top of him, smile on her face. It looked victorious.
[Ki increased! Life is at 1. Lightning is at 1. Heart is at 1.]
[Life will slightly increase your regeneration and improve fatigue, as well as bodily problems.]
[Lightning. You will have an electrical edge on some of your attacks. You do not have enough to fire bolts of electricity or lightning nor will you be able to take advantage of the super-speed boost.]
[Heart. Increase to composure and the ability to maintain calm. This can also heal mental fatigue. This stat will slightly reduce strain when accessing your true power.]
[Let it be known that increasing various Ki stats will enable you to access true powers and secret powers without relying on rage. Rage can cause you to make mistakes. So be nice to these women, desu.]
Harumi softly kissed Clyde. He accepted it, while baffled at the freaking brand new system that merged into his power pool. Seriously? He…he didn’t know how to react. Power through sex…Definitely a trope there.
"I…don't mind if you cum inside."
He said nothing. Everyone talked during the heat of intimacy or during the post-climax. Women still felt it much longer than men.
After the two caught their breath, they donned robes then headed back. Little did they know, something greedily watched, drooling with excitement. It flew back into the forest, wings buzzing.
Large House somewhere in Lot City….
Maki untied the helpless girl as they both climaxed, though she took it a step further and did it on her prey’s face. This wasn’t enough. She needed him. A man capable of resisting her. So much she could do to him or have done to her. He could leash her, make her swallow while upside down, or even take it from a strap-on. Nah, she couldn’t bring herself to violate a man like that. No, she wanted to be the one violated—even caught off guard, thrown into a closet and ravished for all she was worth.
Maki realized she was drooling, but the other woman, her pathetic prey seemed too dazed to notice. The party idea failed due to that slut Alice. She’d worry about that later. Her fan club had orders to corner the bitch and pound her into obedience, any style, or even at the same time.
For now, she needed to take action. Enough waiting around, she was going to try. He had to be alone sometime. Maybe she’d ask Naomi of his usual whereabouts. That broke journalist would be more than happy to take her job. Follow Clyde, find out where he lived or hung out, then leave the rest to Maki. Immediate payment—enough money to live without working for two months.
She felt herself going wet again, just thinking about Clyde’s thrust. Strong, powerful, ruthless. He was the only man she’d allow inside of her. The only one who’d not act like some obedient mind-controlled zombie. Oh this, oh that—why were men such idiots?
[Volume 3.] Episode 17 (Part 8)
Labido Grasslands. Hot springs inn. Time: Late Afternoon…
Harumi held Clyde’s arms, cheerful, as they entered the hot springs inn. Training would start in the morning and everyone wanted a piece of him. One more dip will end the last of his soreness. He’d assert himself as the team lead again, maybe ruthlessly.
He looked at the cheerful pink-haired girl. Despite his proposition to not break their hearts via the stone-viper game sending him home, Clyde questioned his former decision. He knew he should’ve put his foot down many times, but what kind of single man would reject the advance of a beautiful woman. Besides, if he did, he’d have to admit to being one of those infuriating harem main characters that ran from the women. Not happening.
[Suggestion from the system: Consider marriage with Harumi. You are the Stone. It is recommended to have more than one wife. No less than three. This will add to your power—]
He cut off the prompt. What the hell, System, he thought. He remembered complaints by some of his married friends, although they spent more time bragging about their wives than anything. Sometimes a conversation about the latest video game would turn into a rant about wives making them take out the garbage in the middle of the night or paying more attention to her.
[Suggestion from the system: Consider impregnation as—]
He switched off the prompt again. The system had an odd sense of humor in which he wanted nothing to do with. He wouldn’t be surprised if the "suggestion" came up again.
Clyde was curious about what happened to Seth, so he headed toward the hot springs, Harumi on his trail. He couldn’t help but note that he felt better after the…lunch break with the pink-haired young woman. He could feel something other than magic points running through his veins. Ki? It seemed to intertwine with his mystic senses, heightening them. He…he needed to boost this system a lot. Man, was he the pervert.
Clyde sighed. It was amazing that his little friend didn’t get sore from so much use. Not that he’d brag about it or anything.
"Wait right here, I need to check on Seth," Clyde said.
"Is he okay?" Harumi said.
"I don’t know."
He braced himself and then entered.
"Oh, so then you swooped in with legendary bat of fire and ashes to save them all?"
"Yep," Seth replied to the toad girl.
Clyde gave them both a blank stare. Seth was in a relaxed pose against the wall with the monster girl in his lap, his horn inside her. They were having a bedroom conversation.
"Seth, go eat," Clyde said then looked at the toad girl. "Don’t you even try to argue. He’s only human, he needs energy. And don’t think I can’t kill you instantly."
Clyde allowed his eyes to shine, using just a teeny-tiny bit of the power.
"No need to threaten her, dude," Seth said. "She’s a guest here too. Yuki, a demoness, suggested this place, right? Maya said this place hadn’t human customers in years."
Clyde sighed. Of course. If it appeared too good to b
e true, then it is.
"I thought Yuki would have some kind of sanity left within her, but I guess Harumi’s the only one left that I can rely on. Never mind. Go shower off and eat. And you," he pointed at Maya. "Don’t assault anymore of my friends. And I’m not joking about the killing part."
Maya gave a short bow to Clyde.
"I’ll just be eating with my husband," she said.
Clyde glared at Seth. He shrugged.
"She’s a babe," Seth said. "And besides, with the amount of times I came inside of her, it’s far too late to turn back. Turns out, she’s the owner of several large pizza chains, including Nowie’s."
Clyde didn’t know what to say, how to—just what the fuck was going on?
"So let me get this straight?" he said. "You were basically assaulted on sight, resisting. Then you went all Stockholm syndrome on me—enough to piss me off by the way—hence why I left to leave it to Toru, and now you’re marrying her?"
"One hell of a wedding story, right?" Seth said. "Look, husband means ‘dear one’ in her culture, not exactly the human way. It’s like dating, right?"
"Oh, it TOADadly is the human way," Maya said. "Marriage. I pledge my heart to you and no other. And I will stomp out any who tries to harm you." She snuggled into Seth. "You will not regret having me, husband. I will arrange for you to come live with me at my mansion. You said you were considering the dorms, right, to save money? We can’t have that. And money will no longer be a problem for you, my love. My heart."
Clyde decided it was best to let Seth handle his own fuck up.
"Where’s Toru and Chika?"
"The last I heard of them was maybe thirty minutes ago? Apparently, Tear and Natalia tried to restrain Alice from tearing down the place, looking for you. Natalia magically inspected her body, finding hints of aphrodisiacs in her blood. Nobody’s sure where it came from—Alice won’t say anything. As for Chika, I think she joined Neko and Yuki for lunch. Dude, I think Yuki likes you. She’s a…" Seth paused at Maya’s glare. "Anyway, I’ll head for lunch too. After I finish my current meal."
