"I’ll try not to."
He let out a breath as she closed the door. He…had a fucking demon in his apartment. Sure, she was incredibly beautiful, but that didn’t mean jack shit in a life or death situation like this. She wiped Clyde’s party with little effort—and now…Clyde couldn’t hate nor dislike her. The woman just wanted sweets. She made no threatening moves except when Kitome decided to be an idiot. What was she thinking? He’d make sure Toru teach her how to read the situation before charging into battle. He was no battle expert, but at least he knew that much.
Alice reappeared nearly twenty minutes later with a refreshed look on her face. She was dressed in her same clothes, but somehow, they looked brand new. He passed it off as magic and thought nothing more.
The demoness pulled out a bracelet from her pocket.
"Here, as thanks for the cake. I’ll grant you a single favor. Just channel some magic into it."
Clyde accepted the bracelet and gave her his thanks.
[You have received Summoning Bracelet of Alice, demon lord’s eye. Item class: Epic. You may use this bracelet to summon Alice once. A favor from her is worth more than gold.]
Clyde did his best to hold down his excitement.
"Thank you for this," he said. She nodded.
"Well, it’s a shame you didn’t join me in bath, but I’ve got to go. We shall have cake again sometime. Oh more thing, I need to activate that bracelet."
She caught Clyde off guard by kissing him. A tinge of power shot through his body. Before he could ask, the demoness vanished.
Seconds later, there was a knock on his door. He answered, a little surprised to see Harumi.
"Are…you okay?" she said. "She didn’t do anything weird to you."
"I’m fine," Clyde said then smiled. "She really just wanted cake. After we ate, she left. I won’t lie, I was nervous as shit, serving food to a demon. But she’s kind of sweet."
Harumi nodded, relief on her face.
"We have got to coordinate some fights together, especially with Kitome."
They both laughed. "Let’s discuss this tomorrow, maybe after classes. I’m dead tired. Just going to let the shower take me."
He waved the anime girl off then closed the door. Before heading to bed, he texted Chika.
The next morning, he felt something soft next to him. Smooth skin. He opened his eyes and turned to his right, to see a fully naked demoness snuggled against him. His anime trope senses rang. Alice’s eyes opened, and she gave Clyde a sly smile.
"My apartment was too far," she said, "so I crashed here."
What could he say? What the fuck are you doing in my house? How well would that go with a boss enemy.
"Anyway, I need morning sex and you are the only one very compatible with me. Up-up-up. Haven’t had any in years."
His alarm rang, but the demoness looked as if she had zero fucks to give.

Clyde turned off the alarm as he stared into the eyes of the hungry demoness. Before he could speak, she launched an aggressive kiss, pulled back then smiled. Her hand was already in his boxers, as she kissed him again.
"You can’t let me play alone," Alice said softly, unlocking the beast within Clyde. He pulled her onto his lap, launching his own assault of kisses. Alice’s breathing grew husky. She softly moaned from a kiss on her neck. Swiftly, Clyde took an eye full of every man’s glory, his craving for the demoness at the point of no return. While she had nothing on Harumi, he still cuffed a handful of soft, amazing, breasts. Boobs were love, boobs were life—this briefly rang through the young man’s head, perhaps heads, until a logical thought managed to pierce the lustful instincts.
He had no protection. He could still remember Mortem’s warning as if he spoke it to Clyde hours ago. Everyone and this world were real. Sure, in a parallel world or alternate dimension, but living, breathing, conscious beings. The last thing he needed was to take his chances at accidentally impregnating a fucking de
moness.
Maybe he’d have to chance it at pulling out in time. He made the judgment call—Alice was way too into it. And so was he. He’d just have to be late for class, regardless of the consequences.
He laid Alice down, hungrily kissing her, moving lower. He slipped two fingers into what felt like an ocean. The demoness’s moan almost made Clyde release. She frantically accepted Clyde’s kisses as if they were her source of life. As his fingers swam in her, she pushed fingernails into his back, ecstasy pouring from her mouth.
Clyde was ready to enter the land of milk and honey when abruptly, a ring of the doorbell, followed by a few knocks sounded from his front door. He wanted to ignore it but realized that someone else also went to the same college as he. A neighbor whom he’d have to explain things too—not that his sex life was her business.
Harumi had done nothing to get his cold shoulder. He also didn’t want to explain why he was about to have wild sex with a demoness.
"Ignore it," Alice said softly. "You’re an incredible lover—take me. Dominate me now."
Clyde’s erection felt like it tripled. He seriously considered her offer, but Mortem and his douche-shit masters expected him to attend this school. He couldn’t risk it.
"After classes, if you come over," he said, almost disbelieving the words that flowed from his mouth. The demoness frowned.
"I suppose I cannot be angry with you for attending your human schooling," Alice said then laid back. "A smart man is an attractive one—but we were in the middle of something you know. It’s rude to leave a girl unsatisfied, so I will be back, twice over. If your human friend is jealous, she could just join in. I can do things—"
"Let’s not get ahead of ourselves," Clyde said, holding down his eagerness of getting to plow a beautiful woman twice. He couldn’t wait for this school day to end. He’d have to avoid any afterschool engagements, though something in the back of his mind warned him that it wasn’t going to be so easy. After cleaning up and ignoring Alice’s temptations for a quickie in the shower, while he brushed his teeth, and even while walking to answer the door. To his relief, the demoness vanished when he opened the door, though with a silent promise to return after his classes ended.
"You sure took your time," Harumi said. "Are you okay?"
He noticed that she attempted to peek inside, as if searching for someone. Clyde closed the door. A prompt nearly made him freeze.
[Your relationship with Alice has changed from friendly, curious, teasing, and sexually interested to friend, teasing, and sexually intense craving. You will be subjected to constant sexual banter from Alice. However, as your friend, she will respect you. She will not interfere with your operations. Warning, verbal sexual banter may spark jealousy levels from any of your female friends with CLOSER standing, regardless of level. It is advised not to enter a relationship until you abolish the sexually intense craving rank. You can do this by simply telling your friend. You will not be penalized for doing so; however, regaining this rank becomes 150 times easier. Be warned, if you cheat in your relationship, be prepared for consequences if you’re caught.]
[You’ve earned 500 EXP for obtaining this rank.]
"Just overslept a bit," Clyde lied. He decided to deal with the prompt later. If Alice wanted to make a play or two at him, he wouldn’t mind. He still asked himself why do this with a demoness.
When the duo reached the front gates, Chika anime-dove into his arms. As if a switch flipped inside his brain, he found himself engulfing comfort from her. Dammit, it’s just because she was cute. Clyde pushed away the sappy thoughts but held fast and far away the facts. The fact that he almost…. almost…. fucking almost had sex with two beautiful women but some event got in the way of it. His anime trope senses rang. THE FUCKING HAREM. It all made sense now.
A cold, revolting chill sunk into his spine. Maybe the inability to ever have sex in this world was simply a sign to focus on getting home.
Only an idiot would believe that. He could end up in this world for years…. years of anime tropes. Shit. He needed to take control, guide his own fate. Fate or whatever the fuck it was called, Clyde thought.
During lunch, Clyde decided to eat lunch alone, in hopes to think to himself when caught site of another anime trope. A really busty anime girl with long purple hair and matching eyes walked in a stuck-up, possibly dignified way. Young men all around her seemed to lose their minds—doing whatever they can to greet her. So, she showed up at last. The popular girl. Clyde would not say, "oh," to her. He would not greet nor pay her any mind. He had better things to do anyway. Somehow, the girl seemed to notice his resolve because from afar, Clyde and she made eye contact. He didn’t bother holding it and just started for the door. He could already tell she was going to be a nuisance.
Episode 7 (Part 2)
"I need tacos," Clyde said as he stepped outside. He pushed away the thought of the popular girl. She’d be after him—he somehow knew. The young man would combat that trope when he got there. Right now, he just wanted to take control of the harem trope and its control once and for all.
He pulled out his phone to search a location on the web browser. As soon as he found one, he proceeded to dial Chika when a familiar voice caught his attention.
"Are you done with school yet?"
Clyde turned to see Alice, dressed in the school uniform, walking toward him. He briefly scanned the area with just his eyes.
"Not yet, just going for some lunch," he said. His anime trope senses vibrated within. Who was going to show up? He needed to be proactive to defeat the Harem trope. "Let’s go!"
Alice looked thrilled as he pulled her to board the city bus. As the vehicle set in motion, he saw Harumi and her friend walk out of the front doors engaged in some conversation. That would’ve got him a lunch with those two. Maybe Alice too.
"Where are we going?" Alice asked.
"We’re going to get tacos," Clyde said. At that moment, the demoness’s stomach growled. She blushed in a way that was overwhelmingly cute. The anime girl way. "Don’t start drooling now."
She gave him a brief pouty face then moved as close as possible to Clyde.
"I’ll have to punish you for being rude," she whispered.
She placed her hand on his lap, grabbing his horn. "How long do you think we can go at it until the humans try to throw us off."
"Yeah, I’m going to have to stop you there," Clyde said. "Not trying to get thrown in jail."
Alice giggled.
The bus stopped. A redhead, that made even Alice’s smile drop, boarded. Everyone looked a bit uncomfortable and excited as if a celebrity walked among them.
"Great," Clyde muttered. "Well, if she fucks off, I’ll fuck off."
Clyde got no such luxury. Melody’s glare struck him like a lightning bolt. Unsure of what came over him, Clyde grinned, infuriating the girl. A quick analyze showed her current strength.
Melody
Level: 12
Type: sweet talker.
Relationship: utter hatred.
HP: 100%
MP: 100%
Stats: Relationship isn’t high enough. Try having sex with her. Without getting stabbed.
Special abilities: Relationship isn’t high enough. She can think of a thousand ways to kill you right now.
Skills: See above. And good luck. You’re going to need it.
Magic abilities: see above. You could always try sex. A good way to clear up that bad relationship. That is if you don’t die first.
Clyde shook his head. Why in the hell was the system attempting to get him in bed with someone who’d rather send him on Mars to watch his head explode.
Melody’s eyes remained glued to the young man for fifteen minutes until Clyde just couldn’t take it anymore. Alice tapped on him arm before he had the chance to do something stupid.
"Would you like me to eliminate her? You’ve got that favor."
Clyde chuckled.
"Don’t bother. She’s not worth the time."
Alice gave him a disappointed look but said nothing. When they got off the bus, so did Melody and four others with glazed eyes.
[Your heart protection has reached level 3: you’re 34% less affected by unwanted mental magic or skills from enemies. You gain a 17% bonus to your ability to convince others to do anything that would protect their hearts. [Passive]. 11% chance to break from any magic or charismatic hold.]
Clyde’s inner gamer squealed. Every level increase with heart protection edged him closer to being immune to mental magic or any other bullshit OP ability.
"Look, I want tacos, not trouble. How does tacos sound?" Clyde said. "My treat."
Melody looked as if she considered the offer. The young man did his best not to entertain the sideways glance from the demoness.
"You will not bribe me with…ugh, tacos sound so heavenly—but the sight of you…you making me look bad. Gentlemen, kick his ass."
Clyde analyzed the four entranced men as they slowly approached him.
