Happy Anniversary! *Sounds of party blowers and party poppers going off*
Wow, I can't believe I've been writing this for a year now, and I'm honestly surprised that I made it this far. I couldn't have done this with all your support and I know I say it every time, but thank you so much for taking an interest in my story. That said, I wanted to do something special for this anniversary chapter, and I will warn you now, this won't be your typical Squad Bravo chapter. I decided to have some fun with it to mark the occasion and it might get a little racy too if you get my drift (Hint hint nudge nudge). So with that said, LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!
It was another quiet day at the apartment complex where the MON operatives lived, and Yuuto and Vee were currently chilling out in his room, playing on his PS4. They were currently playing Helldivers together and were facing off against a swarm of Bugs.
"Vee, watch the south. We've got warriors incoming." The human said as he was capping the point.
"Got it! Throwing out a turret!" She exclaimed joyfully.
As they were repelling the waves of enemies, Yuuto's phone started vibrating. He put his controller down to look at the device, finding he got an email from Zombina. He soon unlocked the device and read the message.
Hey Beesh! You and Vee need to get your butts down here ASAP! There's a massive cake in the communal area on our floor, and there's a message for your squad too!
He then saw the picture that came with it, and there was indeed a massive birthday cake with 'Happy Anniversary' and 'MON Squad Bravo' written in icing on top. "What the hell?" The blonde muttered to himself in confusion.
"What's the matter Yuuto?" Vee asked in a concerned tone as she put her controller down too.
"There's something weird going on downstairs, and I intend to find out what's going on." He replied as he got out of his seat. "You want to come with?" He asked the slime as he smiled down at her.
"Sure!" She exclaimed as she rushed towards the front door of the apartment, putting on her rain coat and boots as she waited patiently for him. "C'mon, let's go!" She continued in an excited tone as she smiled brightly at him.
"Sure, one sec." He replied as he turned off the game console and made his way towards the front door.
With that the human and slime pair left the apartment, determined to get to the bottom of the mystery cake.
As they arrived at the communal area on the third floor, Yuuto and Vee found that all the other MON operatives, as well as Ms Smith surprisingly, were either standing or sat around the large table, with the large cake already being cut into slices as the girls gorged themselves on it. As they neared, Blare's ears twitched at the sound of their footsteps and turned around in her seat to face them, a large piece of cake still shoved into her face as she gave them and excited look. She quickly swallowed her mouth full before she spoke up.
"Hey Stud! Check out this cake we found, it's fucking massive!" She said with a wide grin as she waved to them, her flame lashes igniting from her eyes as her crimson tail wagged frantically.
"I know, Zee sent a picture already." He replied as he waved back at the hellhound. "Where the hell did it come from anyway?"
"Beats me, but it sure as hell taste good!" Zombina shouted as she got a couple slices of cake on small paper plates and handed them towards the blonde and slime pair. "Try some!"
"For all I know, that cake could be poisoned." He replied as he gave the slice of cake a dubious look.
"I wouldn't worry Senpai." Kasumi spoke up from her seat before taking a bite of her slice of cake. "Blare's already had two slices and hasn't keeled over yet."
"Hey! Were you guys using me as a guinea pig?!" The hellhound yelled in annoyance.
"It's your own fault for digging into it without thinking." Raia said as she smirked at her.
"Though I could imagine you going out goring yourself to death on cake." Kestria added with a teasing grin on her face.
Blare merely pouted at the pair before she stuffed her face with cake again to cheer herself up.
"Well if that's the case, I guess it's safe enough." Yuuto said as he took the two slices of cake from the zombie before handing one of them to the orange slime next to him. "Here you are Vee." He said with a warm smile on his face.
"Thank you Yuuto!" Vee exclaimed with a wide smile on her face before she consumed the cake in one go.
Ms Smith let out a sigh of satisfaction as she finished the last bite of her cake, savouring the sweet taste and the fluffy texture. "Nothing beats a bit of R&R after a hard day's work." She said with a smirk on her face.
"Yeah, must be hard taking a nap in your office while no one's looking." Doppel replied with a smug look on her face, earning her a scowl from her superior.
"Mmmmm~ This cake is so good~" Tio said with a joyful hum. "We should totally do stuff like this more often~"
"As lovely as it sounds, I still have my suspicions about why there's a cake here in the first place." Manako added with a hint of scepticism. "Didn't you find the message on it a little odd?"
"Yeah, that's a point." Yuuto answered after finishing a bite. "Bravo squad hasn't even been active for a full month yet. Who would even get us a cake?"
"If you ask me, it sounds like a set up for one of Doppel's pranks." Zombina replied with a massive grin on her face.
"Hey, do you think I'd be here if that was the case?" The doppelganger said as she defended herself against her squad captain's accusation.
"She has a point Senpai. It makes little sense for her to be out in the open like this otherwise." Kasumi added, confident in her assumption.
"That's true." He mused to himself, trying to make sense of the situation. "But who else could've done it?"
"I believe there tae be a greater force at work here, me Love."
Everyone, apart for Yuuto, Vee, and Kasumi, jumped at the sudden arrival of the young reaper who had appeared from behind her boyfriend.
"Fuck sake Headless! Quit popping up like that, it's starting to get old ya know!" Zombina shouted in annoyance.
"Lala!" The slime girl exclaimed before she ran towards the dullahan and wrapped her arms and tendrils around the girl in a loving hug.
Lala's face went bright red at the sudden affection, not used to receiving it from anyone other than Yuuto. "D-D-Do nay assault me so casually!" She yelled in an embarrassed tone, though Vee ignored her protest and continued to nuzzle up against her.
"Hey Babe, is everything alright?" The blonde human asked with a hint of concern.
"I am fine, though I fear that we've been lured intae a trap. Though I do nay know fer what purpose." She replied with a hint of worry, causing everyone including the slime latched to her to look at the dullahan in confusion.
"Like moths to a flame!" The voice of a man shouted out in triumph from all around them.
"AAAAAHHHHH!"
Everyone jumped at the sound of the disembodied voice, causing Lala and Vee to jump into Yuuto's arms, as well as causing Zombina and Blare to comically fall back on their chairs. Manako had clung her arms tight around Tio as the ogress wrapped an arm around her comfortingly to calm her down. Ms Smith, who was at the time drinking a can of coffee ended up spurting a mouth full out, a good amount of it hitting the orange slime.
"What the fuck was that?!" Blare exclaimed as she shot up from her seat.
"That'll be me. Sorry for scaring you like that, and thanks for finally noticing me." The voice spoke again, but this time in a more cheery and polite tone from before.
"And who are you exactly?" Yuuto asked, trying to figure out where the voice was coming from.
"My name's not important. But hence forth, you shall know me as, The Author!" The voice exclaimed overdramatically.
"…What the hell are you on about?" The blonde man questioned.
"HESAIDHE'STHEAUTHORYUUTOTHEAUTHORTHEAUTHORTHEAUTHOR!" Vee exclaimed incoherently, now hyped up on caffeine.
"God damn it, not again!" Yuuto exclaimed in frustration.
"What's up with Gooball?" Blare asked as she looked at the slime girl in question, who was now flailing her arms and tendrils frantically.
"She get's ridiculously hyper if she ingests caffeine…" He replied in a defeated tone.
"Yeah, sorry about that…" Kuroko apologised as she rubbed the back of her head nervously.
"I can't help but feel a little bit ignored right now…" The Author complained as he started to feel slightly depressed.
"Aww, don't feel sad Mr Author. I haven't forgotten about you." Tio said in an attempt to cheer up the disembodied voice.
*Sniff* "Thank you Tio. I knew you'd care." He replied, sounding like he was holding back tears.
"Enough of this bullshit already!" Zombina shouted as she eventually jumped to her feet too. "Why are you here, and what do you want with us?!"
The Author sounded like he was blowing his nose before he replied. "Oh, right. Sorry I get side tracked easily." He said before clearing his throat. "Anyway! I have gathered you all here today in celebration of my story's one-year anniversary!"
Silence filled the room, save only for the sound of Vee bouncing up and down in her blob form excitedly. The group was unable to comprehend what the mysterious voice was talking about.
*Ahem* "I said-!"
"We heard you the first time!" Blare shouted as her flame lashes burst from her eyes furiously. "What do you mean by your story?!"
"Isn't it obvious? I'm talking about my story about you guys."
"Say what?!"
Lala separated herself from her boyfriend and got into her reaper persona once more. "I believe what he is saying is that he has constructed a grand tale, and we are merely his puppets tae do with as he pleases."
"Translation, you guys are the main focus of a story I'm writing, and everything that's happened to you so far since the incident at the Metropolitan Bank has been of my doing." The Author explained in a confident tone. "I hope you've enjoyed the results so far."
"Now wait just a god damn minute!" Yuuto yelled, finally losing his patience. "Are you saying that you created us and we're not in control of our own lives?!"
"Basically." He replied nonchalantly as if this was a normal occurrence. "Though I didn't create all of you, just the members of Squad Bravo, oh, and Vee of course."
The slime girl's eyes went wide with excitement. "MRAUTHORMRAUTHORMRAUTHORDOESTHATMAKEYOUMYDAD?!" She shouted excitedly.
"Not exactly, but you guys can call me Dad if you want."
"OKAYDAD!"
"You're accepting this way too easily…" Raia commented as she furrowed her eyes at the hyperactive slime girl.
"So, who in the word made the rest of us then?" Ms Smith asked out of curiosity.
"Yeah! I wanna know!" Zombina yelled impatiently.
"That's a long story, and it's not the reason why I'm here today. I only wish to show you guys how your lives could've played out if I took the story in a different direction." The Author explained calmly to the group. "Now, let's get this show started!"
Before they realised it, the group found themselves in an empty white void, with only themselves existing there currently.
"AH! WHERE ARE WE?!" Manako yelled in panic as she clung to her ogre squad mate once more.
"Don't fret, no harm will come to you. I'm just setting everything up." The voice replied in a calming tone to help ease their concerns.
Suddenly from out of nowhere, generic elevator music started playing as several couches and beanbag chairs literally popped into existence in front of them.
"Take a seat, the show will start in a sec, so make yourselves comfortable." He politely requested.
The group was hesitant, but soon, Kasumi, Kestria, and Vee quickly made their way to the beanbag chairs at the front, accepting that they'd be stuck here for the foreseeable future.
"Hey, be careful girls. We don't know anything about this place." Yuuto warned the trio, sounding like an overprotective parent.
"Take a chill pill Hotshot." The raptor harpy replied as she nestled herself into a blue beanbag chair, letting out a relaxed sigh as she did so. "I'm kind of interested to see what this guy wants to show us."
"I have to agree Senpai." Kasumi added as she did the same. "We might as well enjoy ourselves while we're stuck here."
"YEAHYUUTODON'TBEAPARTYPOOPER!" The hyperactive slime exclaimed as she was bobbing around excitedly in her beanbag chair.
The Author chucked to himself over how the adorable slime girl was behaving. "I think someone needs to calm down a bit. Here Sweetie, here's some water for you."
A large plastic cup filled with water with a straw magically appeared in front of Vee and she proceeded to grab the straw with her nubs and stuck it inside of herself, slowing starting to drain its contents. "THANKSDAD!"
"Yuuto," Lala started saying to him as she wrapped her arms around his. "I see nay harm in obliging tae this deity's wishes. Ye could do with some time tae relax, me Love." She continued before pecking him on the cheek.
"…Alright, fine." He finally relented as he let out a defeated sigh. "Though I have a bad feeling about all this..."
"I know what you mean Beesh, but what else can we do?" Zombina said as she walked with the pair towards one of the empty couches.
As everyone took their seats, the white void that surrounded them became pitch black, and a white screen appeared in front of them. After a moment, a title appeared on the screen in large bold text reading 'Everyday Life with MON'.
"What you guys are about to watch is my initial idea for a MON focused story, which will star Yuuto as a host, and the original MON girls, that being Zombina, Manako, Tio, and Doppel as his homestays."
"Oh yeah." The zombie spoke up. "The girls and I did say we'd like to try being homestays in the program."
"Though we never really followed through with that plan, seeing it wasn't necessary for us." Manako added from her seat next to Tio.
"Well, at least now we get to see what it would've been like if we did." The ogress added in a cheery tone.
"I just want to see if Romeo can even handle living with us." Doppel said with a mischievous grin.
"Well, as long as I don't have to deal with the same crap Kimihito does, then I guess I don't mind." Yuuto commented as he got himself comfortable as Lala rested her head against his shoulder.
"I wouldn't give your hopes up Mr Protag. This is a fanfic based on an ecchi harem manga/anime series after all." The Author replied matter-of-factly.
"…You know, I'm really starting to hate you…" The blonde human responded to the voice as he looked above him with an irritated look on his face.
"Shhh, it's about to start."
With that everyone turned their focus towards the screen as they watched what could've happened to them in this alternate story.
It's another lovely summer afternoon here in the suburbs of Tokyo, and I was in the kitchen of my recently renovated two-story home prepping dinner for myself and my homestays. Oh, I should introduce myself. I'm Yuuto Kazama, I'm twenty-three, and I'm a host for the Interspecies Cultural Exchange Program. You probably wouldn't believe me, but the girls I'm hosting are none other than the members of Tokyo's very own MON squad. They're at work right now, but they should be home soon, so I decided to cook up some Teriyaki chicken with fried noodles for them. I know it's a bit basic, but the girls seem to love whatever I cook for them regardless. As I was doing this, the TV I had on in the living room was currently on the local news and it seems the girls have been very busy today.
"In other news, a hostage situation involving members of the Pioneer Orc Renaissance Kinsmen was thwarted when members of the MON task force sieged a local doujin shop they were held up in earlier today." The anchor-woman said in a professional tone.
"Another job well done girls." I muttered to myself with a smirk forming on my face.
"It seems that the group was demanding for the publication of manga depicting orc males preforming acts of rape against unwilling non-orc women. We've had statements from members of the Orc government saying that they condemn these actions taken by their citizens and that they'll be severely punished for their crimes once the criminals are deported from Japan."
"Serves those degenerates right." I thought to myself as I started boiling the noodles for dinner tonight. "Though it's sad that they're giving a bad reputation to their species…"
Just as I put a lid on the pan, I heard the front door open, followed by the yell of a certain undead housemate. "We're home!" Zombina shouted boisterously as she made her way in.
I came out of the kitchen to find her, along with Manako, Tio, and Doppel standing in the hallway as they took their shoes off and put on their slippers. They were currently in their work uniform, apart from the doppelganger who made a habit walking around everywhere in the nude, her hair being the only thing hiding her modesty.
"Hey girls, how was your day?" I asked as I gave them a warm smile.
"It was a blast!" The zombie shouted as she ran up to me and pulled me into a tight hug. "Those idiots didn't stand a chance!"
"Yeah, you girls did a great job today." I replied as I wrapped my arms around her waist, enjoying the feeling of her body pressed against mine.
Zombina pulled her head back from my shoulder to look me in the eyes, her cheeks now red and a playful smirk forming on her lips. "Don't you think we deserve a reward?" She asked in a husky tone, giving me the bedroom eyes.
"I don't see why not." I answered as I smirked back at her, my own cheeks going bright red too.
The red-head wasted no time as she sensually pressed her lips to mine, the soft sensation sending a tingle down my spine as she let out a quiet moan. She ran her hand through my hair as I ran a hand up and down her back affectionately. I probably should've mentioned this sooner, but despite it currently being illegal under the Exchange Bill, I'm currently in a relationship with all four members of MON squad.
"Are you fucking kidding me?!" Yuuto yelled from his seat with a furious look on his face, while Lala stared at the screen in shock, not wanting to believe what she saw.
"Nope. You, my friend, were originally going to be a Harem Protagonist." The Author explained in an amused tone, happy with his Main Character's reaction. "I should also mention that you're not a member of MON if this little scenario. Sorry about that."
"What the hell?!" Blare suddenly exclaimed from her seat next to Tio. "How come me and the other members of Bravo aren't there?!"
"Well, you girls weren't even a concept in the original plot I had planned, so technically in this scenario I'm showing you, you girls don't exist…"
"BULLSHIT!" She exclaimed in anger. "WE SHOULD BEEN IN THE HAREM TOO!"
"Hey Beesh, you really know how to pull the moves." Zombina teased as she nudged an elbow into the human's side, her signature grin plastered on her face.
"Not funny Zee…" He replied unenthusiastically as he furrowed his eyes at the zombie.
"Quit talking already, I want to see where this goes." Kuroko interjected with an amused look on her face. "Oh, by the way, Mr Author, can I get a black coffee here?"
"Yeah, get me some popcorn too!" The red-head exclaimed.
"Coming right up!" The voice shouted enthusiastically.
After a moment or two, our lips eventually separated as I felt the need to breathe, a string of saliva handing between our moist lips. This didn't stop Zombina from lightly nipping my bottom lip as I caught my breath, giving me a cheeky grin as she stared lovingly at me with her mismatched amber and hazel eyes.
"You really know how to make a woman feel good Beesh." The zombie said in a low tone before pecking me on the lips.
"Well, I've had a lot of practice since you girls moved in." I replied as I smirked back at her, now resting my forehead against hers as I stared lovingly back at her heterochromatic eyes.
"Bina-chan, quit hogging Sweetie!" The ogress of the squad whined with an adorable pout on her face. "He's our boyfriend too you know!"
"Alright, keep your panties on, will ya?" Her squad captain said as she begrudgingly separated herself from me. "I need to go get changed anyway. He's all yours" She added as she walked to her room with her hands held behind the back of her head.
"Yaaaay~" Before I could react, Tio picked me up and pulled me into one of her soul-crushing hugs as she nuzzled my cheek affectionately. "Hey Sweetie, I hope you didn't miss us too much while we were gone~"
"Well, the house does get a little quiet without you girls around." I admitted from my fleshy but oh so comfortable prison. "But you have an important job to do." I continued as she stopped her nuzzling to look me in the eyes.
"Aww~ Here, let Mama Tio give you some sugar~ Mmmm~"
Before I realised it, my towering girlfriend had pressed her lips to mine, tightening her embrace on me as our lips glossed over each other. Not long after, she pulled back and stared lovingly at me before putting me down.
"So, what's for dinner tonight~?" She chirped as an adorable smile formed on her lips.
"Teriyaki chicken and noodles." I replied as I gave her a big grin in return.
"Ooh, sounds delicious~" Tio said as she started making her way to her room. "I'll see you in a bit, Sweetie~"
"Geez, that girl sure loves her food." I thought to myself as I watched her walk off.
As I was distracted, I felt many strands of long hair wrap around my shoulders and torso, soon accompanied by their owner, who promptly lifted herself up and wrapped her arms around my neck, pressing herself against my back. I looked back to see Doppel resting her chin on my shoulder as she stared seductively at me with a playful smirk on her face.
"I hope you haven't forgotten about me Romeo." She said teasingly as she lightly tightened her grip on me with her hair.
"Well, it's kind of hard to forget someone who spends all her time walking around in the nude." I jested as I smirked back at her.
"You know you love it." She replied, giving me a suggestive wink.
"I know I'd love you to- "
Before I could finish my sentence, the doppelganger quickly silenced me with her lips pressing tightly against mine, accompanied by her tongue invading my mouth as it wrestled with mine. I gladly reciprocated the act as we deepened our kiss, giving her my full attention as I wrapped an arm around the back of her head, ravishing her as best I could in our current position. Eventually, our lips parted and she gazed at me once more with a mischievous grin curling onto her lips.
"I was going to say that I'd love you to wear some clothes once in a while, but that works too." I said as I smirked back at her.
"You know you'd just want to rip them off me anyway, so I might as well spare you the hassle." She replied cheekily before lightly nipping at my ear. She then got off of me and started making her way to the living room, not needing to get changed for obvious reasons. "Anyway. I'll be watching TV if you need me, plus I think Manako's waiting for her turn to be ravished too." She added teasingly as she left with a wink.
I turned back to Manako, who was still standing in the hallway with me, nervously fidgeting at the hem of her skirt as she tried avoiding eye contact with me, her cheeks currently bright red with embarrassment. I couldn't help but chuckle to myself at how adorable she was acting, and I soon walked up to her, giving her a warm smile as I closed the distance.
"I know you're shy, but you don't have to hold back now that you're back home." I said as I gently patted her head, which caused the poor girl to flinch momentarily.
"I-I know Yuuto," She replied meekly as she took quick glances at me. "b-b-but I'm still quite new to all of this. I-I-I've never had a boyfriend before now…"
In an attempt to calm her nerves, I decided to wrap my arms gently around her and pulled her into a light hug with her arms and chest pressed up against me. She was hesitant at first, but she soon relaxed into it as a cute smile formed on her lips, now nuzzling her cheek against my chest. I could feel her heart pounding in her chest as her hands gripped tightly on my shirt, enjoying the feeling of being held close.
"Feeling better?" I asked in a soothing tone as not to startle her.
"I am, thank you." She replied lovingly as she looked up at me, her eye now locked with mine.
In that moment, I leant down and captured her lips with my own. She was caught off guard for a moment, but she soon calmed down and eased into the kiss as our lips lightly glossed over each other, the monoeye letting out quiet moans every so often. It didn't last very long and we soon separated once more, Manako resting her head against my chest again as I started lightly stroking her hair, both of us with content smiles on our faces.
"I love you Yuuto." She said in a quiet tone as only I could hear her.
"I love you too." I replied before kissing her forehead lightly.
After a moment we both reluctantly broke the hug, the two of us still staring lovingly at each other.
"You should probably go get changed, I need to finish dinner for you girls." I said to her as I rubbed the back of my head.
"R-Right." She replied meekly as she broke eye contact with me with an embarrassed smile on her face. "Thank you for always looking after us Yuuto." She added as she bowed to me, before quickly making her way to her room.
"No problem." I responded as I glanced back at her, my cheeks still red.
When they first came to live with me, I wouldn't have thought in a million years that I'd be dating all four of them, and it hasn't even been a month since they moved in either. As I recalled the events that lead up to this point, I let out a sigh of satisfaction, happy that I'm living with four gorgeous women.
"Man, I can't believe I got this lucky."
Yuuto was currently leaning forwards in his seat with his face in his hands, letting out a loud groan, swathed in both frustration and embarrassment at what he was watching. Lala and Zombina both silently rubbed his back in an attempt to comfort the poor human, though the red-head did quietly snicker to herself, finding the whole situation hilarious.
"Senpai, I never knew you were such a womanizer." Kasumi spoke up, looking back at him with a blank expression on her face.
"Yes, such shameful behaviour Bishie-kun." Kuroko teased from her seat.
"I'm really not in the mood right now…" The blonde answered in a despairing tone.
Meanwhile, in her seat, Manako was having a minor emotional breakdown at seeing what her counterpart had just done on screen, her face bright red as she panicked to herself while Tio tried to comfort the poor girl. "I-I-I can't believe Kazama-san and I just did that! H-He already has a girlfriend!" She exclaimed as steam started to rise from her head.
"Holy crap Manako! Your head is steaming up!" Blare shouted from the other side of the ogress they were sitting next to.
"Sorry, just wanted to add that for dramatic effect." The Author answered apologetically. "I'll turn it off now." He added, and with that the monoeye's head stopped steaming up.
"Damn Romeo, you really made the moves on poor Manako." Doppel teased from her seat made from her own hair. "You almost made her head explode."
"Can we just get on with this already?" He said out loud to the Author with his head still in his hands. "I don't want to be here any longer than I have to."
"Of course!" The voice shouted enthusiastically, and with that he resumed playing the movie once more.
Now that dinner was nearly ready, the girls started gathering at the dinner table as I was setting the table. As I started plating up the food, the door bell rang, though everyone in the house, including myself, could guess who was visiting at this time of night.
"Manako, do you mind letting Ms Smith in? She's probably come begging for food as per usual…" I said with a hint of annoyance.
"Of course, I'll be back in a moment." The monoeye replied as she excused herself from the table.
"I might as well get her coffee ready while I'm at it…" I said unenthusiastically has I made my way back into the kitchen.
As I was doing that, Manako came back with the raven-haired government agent behind her, the human with a smug look on her face, knowing full well that she'd be well fed tonight. "Evening ladies, Bishie-kun." She said as she waved a hand at us. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything."
"You know damn well that we have dinner this time of night!" I shouted from the kitchen. "You showing up for dinner is practically clockwork by now!"
"Well, it's the least you can do for me," Kuroko started as she took her seat at the end of the table. "considering some of the *Ahem* privileges your group has right now. If I were any other coordinator, your ass would already be in jail right now. You're just lucky that you're hosting Japan's only anti-liminal special forces unit." She added as she lowered her glasses and gave me a knowing look.
"And I thank you for not ratting us out to your superiors." I replied as I came out of the kitchen with a mug of freshly brewed coffee in hand, as well as her plate of Teriyaki chicken and noodles. "It's amazing what you can get away with when blackmail is involved." I added in a sarcastic tone as I placed the mug and plate next to my coordinator, which earned snickers of laughter from my zombie and doppelganger girlfriends. "Black and bitter with something spicy to eat, just how you like it."
"Oh, you're too kind Bishie-kun." She said with a polite smile. "You have no Idea how lovely it is to be treated like this every once in a while."
"Yeah, it's not like you go to Kimihito's place and demand food and coffee from him as well…" I complained out loud as I took my seat at the other end of the table. "So, what do we owe the pleasure, besides feeding your caffeine addiction that is?"
"Mmm, this is good stuff, nearly as good as Darling-kun's." The government agent muttered after taking a sip of her bitter nectar, before returning her attention to me. "Oh, now that you mention it, there was something I wanted to talk to you about, and it involves this whole harem situation you and Darling-kun have found yourselves in."
I raised an eyebrow at the woman as I felt fear well up in the pit of my stomach. "If it's along the lines of 'The feds have found us out and want to incarcerate me', I don't want to know."
"Now there's no need to get so overdramatic Bishie-kun. You two are safe for the time being, in fact, this bit of news might be beneficial to you two Casanovas." Ms Smith answered with as smirk forming on her lips before she took her sunglasses off and eyed me up. "You see, with all these liminal species cropping up, especially the female only species like lamias and harpies, the ratio of men to woman worldwide has tipped in favour of girl power and there's not enough guys to go around. With that in mind, talks about legalising polygamy has been a hot topic as of late."
My eyes widened at the mention of polygamy as a look of shock took over my face. "Wait, you're not suggesting-!" Before I could finish what I was saying, my coordinator spoke up again.
"With how things are going right now, it's only a matter of time before it becomes a serious consideration." She said matter-of-factly. "Legalising polyamorous marriages would help ease tension between humans and liminals, but the government needs proof that such a thing is viable. So, in that regard, we need a test case to prove its legitimacy. I couldn't think of a better group to do the trial run on this." She finished as she smirked at me once more.
The girls and I just stared at her in disbelief, not able to take in what she just said. This was our one way of making this relationship of ours work, but it would be a major commitment for all of us. We all sat there in silence, up until Zombina let out a victorious yell.
"FUCK YEAH!" She exclaimed excitedly. "NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!"
Doppel soon joined in as a smirk appeared on her lips. "This should be interesting."
"Yaaaay~! We get to be together now~!" Tio cheered in a joyful tone.
"M-M-Ms Smith? Don't you think this is rather sudden?" Manako asked as her voice grew nervous. "We've only been romantically involved with Yuuto for a few weeks now."
"Yeah, this is a pretty big bombshell even from you." I added with a hint of worry.
"What's the problem?" She replied nonchalantly. "I'm sure all of you are eager to make the beast with two backs, or five in this case." She added in a teasing tone.
Zombina pulled her lips into her signature grin as her cheeks went bright red at what her boss just said. I could only guess she was trying to imagine how the five of us doing 'It' together would look like. Manako had her hands on her cheeks, trying to hide the massive blush on her face. I could only imagine what the poor girl was fretting over. Tio seemed to be her usual bubbly self, with the exception that she was muttering to herself about plans for the future, like if we had to move to a bigger place, where she'd want us to get married, and how many kids we should have. Doppel on the other hand just looked back at me and gave me a mischievous grin as her cheeks went red.
I eventually let out a sigh and returned my attentions back to my coordinator. "As you can see, we're all very excited to hear this good news, but as their host, I feel we need to seriously think this over before we can make a proper decision." I said to her in a serious manner.
This earned me shocked gazes from all my homestays, believing I would've jumped at the chance to accept Ms Smith's offer. Even the government agent quirked an eyebrow at me, confused by my response.
"Well, there's no need to rush if you feel that's for the best." She started as she put her sunglasses back on. "This is a very serious matter for all of you after all, but the sooner you come to a decision, the better it'll be in the long run." With that, she turned her attention to the food on her plate, determined to enjoy if while it's still hot.
The rest of us stayed silent as we all eventually did the same. We all had a lot to think about.
After we finished dinner, Ms Smith thanked me for my hospitality and made her leave. I was slightly concerned when she said there was something else she wanted to tell me but couldn't remember. She brushed it off as she said goodbye to me and the girls, leaving us all to think hard about the future. I looked back at the girls as I cleared the table, seeing all of them with worried looks on their faces. I felt that I betrayed their trust when I told Ms Smith that I had my concerns about the whole polygamy situation. Unable to look them in the eye, I excused myself and decided to go to bed early to give myself chance to think over what I should tell them. A couple of hours passed as I laid on top of my bed above the covers, wearing a simple white vest and blue pyjama bottoms. Unable to sleep, I tossed and turned until I rested on my side to look out the window. As I glanced out, I noticed that the moon was out, but to my horror I saw it was a full moon. I shot up as a cold sweat formed on my skin as I felt fear well up in the pit of my stomach for the second time that night.
"Shit."
"NONONONONONONONONONONONO!" Yuuto exclaimed from his seat as he flailed his arms in a panicked state. "I know exactly where this is going and I want no part of it!"
"Oh, don't be like that Yuuto, it's just getting to the good part!" The Author exclaimed excitedly. "Besides, I need to make use of my M rating!"
"Fuck your M rating you sadistic bastard!"
"Quit interrupting Medjay, I want to see the juicy bits." Raia interjected as a sadistic smile formed on her lips.
"Is the other Yuuto going to be okay?" Vee asked in a very worried tone.
"Don't worry Vee." Zombina said with a toothy grin in an attempt to alleviate the orange slime's concerns. "This is Beesh we're talking about here, so he'll be just fine." She continued before looking away with a nervous look on her face, her cheeks going red as she rubbed the back of her head. "Well, probably…"
"And there's only one way to find out!" The voice shouted again, eager to show what would happen to his Main Character. "Now, on with the show!"
Yuuto merely let out a frustrated groan as he slumped into his seat, unable to do anything other than watch his counterpart suffer.
"Me Love," Lala started as she whispered into his ear. "do nay worry. I have devised a plan tae bring an end tae yer suffering."
The blonde's eyes lit up with hope as he turned his full attention to his girlfriend. "Okay, I'm all ears."
Just as panic started to set in, I heard a knock on my bedroom door, causing me to jump momentarily. "W-Who is it?" I replied nervously, now fearing for my life.
"Hey Beesh, it's me." Zombina replied quietly. "Is it alright if we talk? I can't sleep."
Odd, I would've thought for sure that Zombina would be affected by the full moon, but from what I can tell, she seems alright so far. I did hesitate for a moment, but either way she was coming in, so I relented.
"S-S-Sure, I can't sleep either." I replied with my voice still feeling unsteady.
With that, the door opened and the zombie entered my room, closing the door behind her as she rested her back against it. She stood there with her arms behind her back, staring at me with seductive eyes as her cheeks went red. The only thing she was wearing right now was a black tank top and a pair of green and black camo panties. It was obvious she wasn't wearing a bra as I could barely make out the outline of her perky nipples as they poked against the fabric. My mouth hung agape at the sight of her, unable to look away from her curvaceous form, unperturbed by her stitch-covered body. I knew she was sexy, but I had no ide- WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING?! SHE'S TOTALLY NOT IN HER RIGHT MIND RIGHT NOW! I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE SHE-!
Before I realised it, she made her way to the bed, now crawling seductively towards me on all fours as she reached the foot of the bed. I panicked and backed up until I hit the headrest with my back, with seemingly now way to escape.
"H-H-Hey Zee!" I blurted out in a panic. "W-What did you want to talk about?"
She simply giggled at me as she edged herself closer, staring me down with her lust-filled eyes. "It's about this whole marriage thing Kuroko mentioned earlier, and I thought we should consummate it to celebrate." She replied in a husky tone as a massive grin curled onto her lips.
"D-Doesn't that come after the wedding?! We're not even engaged yet!"
By this point she had crawled on top of me and pressed herself against my chest, her nipples poking against me as our faces were mere inches apart now. "You know how impatient I get. And besides, I know how worked up you get living with all four of us. So, as a good wife-to-be, I need to relieve my future husband's stress." She said as she caressed a hand against my cheek, refusing to break eye contact with me.
Before I could even attempt to reason with her, Zombina forcibly pressed her lips to mine, causing the back of my head to collide with the wall behind me. Distracted by the sudden pain, she took the chance to force her tongue inside my mouth as it overpowered mine. The zombie then straddled me as she started rocking her hips against my crotch, letting out powerful moans as she continued to ravish the inside of my mouth with her tongue. I tried my best to force her off me, but this only encouraged Zombina to rock against me harder. Eventually our lips parted as she felt the need to breathe and I was thankful for some relief from her assault.
"Zombina… we can't… do this…" I tried to tell her between ragged breaths, though she seemed to ignore my pleas as she slid her hand down my pants and grabbed hold of my manhood, causing me to gasp momentarily.
"The only thing I remember Smith saying is that you can't hurt us. But last time I checked, I don't feel pain." She replied huskily as she started to stroke at my member, the tingling sensation causing my mind to go blank for a moment.
I had to do something fast, otherwise Zombina will end up having her way with me, and possibly break me in the process. That's not even considering the possibility of the other girls showing up to do the same. I hated the idea of pushing her away, but tonight, I had to prioritise my survival over her feelings.
With that thought in mind, I placed my hands on her shoulders and put all my strength into forcing her off of me. "That's enough!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.
To my own surprise, I managed to push her off, causing her to land on her back hard. "Seriously Zombina! I know you're not thinking straight, but if this goes on, you'll end up being deported and that's the last thing I want for us!" I shouted in an attempt to get through to her.
As she sat back up, she stared straight back at me with a toothy grin, as well as giving me the bedroom eyes. "Playing hard to get, eh?" She said seductively as she got back on her hands and knees. "I'm so gonna rock your world tonight."
"Fuck, her mind's too far gone! What the hell do I do now?!" I thought to myself, hoping for some miracle to save me.
Just then, the door to my bedroom was sent flying from its hinges, shooting right between myself and Zombina as it almost crashed through the window. Tio came striding in, wearing only a pink frilly night dress to cover her modesty. The ogress stared down at me with lustful eyes before practically launching herself at me with her arms spread wide open.
"Come here Sweetie! Let's start a family!" She exclaimed joyfully with a wide smile on her face.
Both Zombina and myself were caught off guard by her sudden arrival, but I shook myself from my stupor and jumped out of the way. The zombie wasn't so fortunate as the ogress landed right on top of her, crushing my bed in the process. As Tio landed, her horn impaled the floor right between my legs, mere inches away from my manhood.
"Owie…" The ogress groaned in pain.
"Get off me Tio!" Zombina yelled from under her. "You could've killed me if I weren't already dead!"
While my two girlfriends were distracted, I got up and booked it, running straight out of my room. As I made it through the doorway and into the upstairs corridor, I was instantly ensnared by many stands of long silver hair wrapping themselves around my arms, legs, and chest. They then pinned me against the wall, finally allowing me to see their owner staring back at me with a seductive look and a perverse grin on her face.
"There's no running from me, Romeo." She said in a seductive tone, not bothering to cover her modesty with her hair. "You might as well relax and let me have my way with you." With that, the strands of hair she didn't use to bind me wrapped around her own form, making it so that she was now standing at a similar height to mine as well as increase the size of her butt and bust. "I know you tend to prefer women with curves, so consider this a little treat from me." She added as she gave me a wink.
"Doppel, listen to me!" I pleaded to her. "Please, just let me go! I don't want you to do anything you might regret!"
"C'mon Romeo, you know you want it as much as I do." She replied as she pressed herself against me. "Quit wasting time and let's have some fun. Just. You. And. Me." She drawled near the end as her face neared mine, trying her best to entice me.
Before she could go further, Zombina and Tio burst out of my room and started charging towards us.
"Get back here Beesh! You're not leaving until I get a piece of that ass!" The red-head shouted, her voice full of determination.
"Please stay Sweetie! I want to have beautiful babies with you!" The busty blonde yelled as the floor cracked with every step she took.
Displeased by their sudden arrival, Doppel unravelled her hair from around me and shot them towards her squad mates. Her silver locks coiled around Zombina and Tio, ensnaring the pair and lifting them off the ground effortlessly. With the three of them distracted again, I got up and started running. Unfortunately for me, Doppel had dragged me away from the staircase, and now the three MON operatives blocked my only way out the house, which only left me with one option. I legged it down the corridor and barged into Manako's room, slamming the door behind me. As I did so, the monoeye shot up from under her bedsheets, wearing her yellow pyjama top and bottoms. She had a frightful look on her face as she looked towards me with worry.
"Y-Y-Yuuto! What's going on?!" She exclaimed in a panicked tone, shocked by my sudden intrusion.
As she said that, I rushed towards the chest of draws by her door and pushed them in front of it to barricade us in. "Sorry Manako, but the other girls have gone nuts!" I answered as I looked towards her with a look of panic on my face. "I know I'm just being hopeful here, but have you got anything on hand to stop them?!"
Manako narrowed her eye at me and nodded confidently. "Yes, I do." With that, she got off her bed and crawled underneath it to get something and she soon came back out with two briefcases. "I have these on hand just in case of an emergency." She opened up one briefcase to reveal a tranquilizer gun, as well as a clip full of tranquilizer darts. She assembled the weapon quickly and handed it to me. "Have you used a gun before?" She asked with a hint of worry.
I looked down at the weapon in her hands, hesitant to grab hold of it. "No, but there's a first for everything, I guess." I answered with a hint of nervousness.
Manako held the gun up and quickly showed me how to operate the weapon. Understanding what she said, I took the gun and pointed it at the door of her bedroom while she picked up the other briefcase. To my surprise, the briefcase unfolded into some sort of strange rifle and she pointed the bulky weapon at the door from near her bed.
"I'd stand back if I were you." The monoeye warned me in a serious tone. "That barricade won't last long against them, the effects of the moon will cause them to act purely on instinct, which will enhance their strength and agility."
I took a few steps back as she suggested, continuing to point the weapon at the door as I stood by her side. "I'm just glad you're acting like your normal self, otherwise I'd be fucked right now, quite literally." I said to her with a sense of relief.
"I'll go check the window, they might try to break in that way." She replied as she did just that.
She drew the curtains wide open, scanning their back garden to see if any of the girls were outside. As she scanned her surroundings though, she took in the sight of the full moon, and unbeknownst to me, she was slowly losing control of herself, her mind bending to the will of her desires.
"I don't know why, but I feel like it's my fault." I said to her as I started berating myself. "You girls were so excited when you heard Ms Smith say we could have a polygamous marriage, just like we hoped we could. Instead of talking to you, I just ran off, afraid of what might happen. Granted, she really shouldn't have told us tonight of all nights, but I'm your host. I should've told you how I felt there and then. I know we can all be happy together, but I can't help but think that-!" I was interrupted as I heard her rifle clatter on the floor. Worried, I glanced back at my monoeye girlfriend. "Manako?!"
Before I could react, she tackled me from behind, causing us to tumble to the ground. The gun I was holding was sent flying from my hands towards the bedroom door, now well out of my reach. As I tried to look back at her again, she tightened her grip around my chest, looking back at me with her eye wide, her pupil dilated as she stared at me lustfully.
"Don't worry about that, I know that you love all of us. Now, please relax and let me make you feel better." She said seductively as she started to slide one of her hands towards my nether regions.
"Fuck! Not her too!" I yelled inwardly at myself, berating myself for not considering her a threat.
In an attempt to escape, I rolled over so that I was lying on top of her. I sat myself up and tried to stand, but Manako quickly pulled herself up, wrapping her legs around my waist and over my legs, now locking me in place. With her left arm still clung hard to my chest, she thrusted her right hand down my pants, now grabbing hard at my member. I gasped in shock as she rested her chin on my shoulder, her lips mere inches from my ear.
"Don't worry Yuuto." She whispered in my ear lovingly. "I promise I'll be gentle, I just want to show how much I love you." She continued before she started to lick at my ear, occasionally nipping at my earlobe as she did so.
As she did that, she slowly started stroking her hand up and down my shaft and my mind was starting to go blank, revelling in the sensation I was feeling as Manako continued to pleasure me. "Manako...Please…stop…" I pleaded to her as my voice hitched, unable to control myself under her assault on my body.
Before she could continue, the door burst open, sending the chest of draws toppling to the ground. Manako and I whipped our heads around in surprise to see Zombina, Tio, and Doppel standing in the doorway, all three of them staring down at me with lust-filled eyes.
"Looks like you're enjoying yourself Beesh. Mind if we join in?" Zombina asked as she gave me a toothy grin.
"Yeah Sweetie. We're a family now, so we have to do everything together~" Tio added, her voice as sweet as honey.
"You're a lucky guy Romeo." Doppel said as she gave me a mischievous smile. "You get to have all four of us all to yourself."
"Girls, snap out of it! This isn't like you!" I desperately shouted, but my pleas fell on deaf ears as the three of them rushed towards myself and Manako.
I saw my life flash before my eyes as they jumped at us, with no way for me to escape. I was going to be fucked to death, and there was nothing I could do about it.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-!"
The scene was interrupted as Lala's black scythe and Yuuto's katana sliced through the screen simultaneously. The remains of the screen disappeared from existence as the black void they were residing in turned white once more. With satisfied looks on their faces, the dullahan dematerialised her scythe and the human sheathed Black Lotus back into its sheathe, happy with the result of their plan.
"What the hell guys?! It was about to get to the good part!" Zombina yelled in frustration.
"But how?! I don't remember writing in Black Lotus in this chapter!" The Author exclaimed in shock.
Lala smirked to herself as she took on her reaper persona, looking up as she placed a hand over her face. "While ye were mesmerised by yer own creation, I took the chance tae return tae our mortal realm and retrieve me Love's treasured blade."
"Damn, I knew I should've kept a closer eye on you…"
''Thank God it's over." Manako said out loud in relief as she hung her head, letting out a sigh. "I didn't know how much more embarrassment I could take."
"I dunno about that." Doppel said to the monoeye. "It looked like you were enjoying yourself there." She added as a mischievous grin appeared on her face.
"But that wasn't me!" She shouted in self-defence.
"It is a shame, I was rather interested to see what would happen next." Kasumi said flatly from her beanbag seat.
"Probably Medjay having the time of his life." Raia added teasingly.
"Anyway!" Yuuto shouted as he looked up himself, directing his focus towards the voice. "I think it's about time you took us home you damn sicko!"
"Uh bub bub!" The voice interjected. "Before you start one of your rants Kazama, can I just ask one thing?"
*Sigh* "It better be good."
"Think about it. Why do you think you've lived out the events you have so far, and not the ones I've shown you here in this empty space?"
Yuuto's eyes widened in realisation. "Wait, you weren't just fucking with us?"
"Well, that isn't entirely untrue, not to mention the entertainment value for the readers…" The Author muttered to himself before clearing his throat to continue. "The main reason I did this was to tell you how much the readers of this story like you guys, and to show my own appreciation. It may've been only a few weeks for you, but for me it's been a year's worth of hard work to bring your story to life. I'm honestly happy with how it's gone so far and I can't wait to show the readers what'll happen next. I'm sure you'll enjoy what's yet to come."
"And who the hell are these readers you're on about?" Blare questioned with a hint of annoyance, not liking the breach in her privacy.
"They're kind of like your fans." He explained to the group. "There's currently over a hundred and thirty followers as of writing this chapter."
"Well, that's a fair few people spying on us." Kestria said, unsure how to feel about hearing that bit of information.
"Yay Followers!" Vee exclaimed with joy.
"Anyway! If the members of Squad Bravo, and you too Vee, would like to say something to them, speak now or forever hold your peace!" The voice shouted overdramatically.
"Thank you everyone! I love you all!" Vee shouted as loud as she could.
The members of Squad Bravo were hesitant as they took glances at one another. Eventually though, they rolled with it, realising they wouldn't be going anywhere unless they did.
"Um, thanks, I guess." Blare answered nervously as her cheeks went red. "It's nice to know that people are interested in us at least."
"Thank you for taking an interest in our lives." Kasumi said as she gave a deep bow. "We all appreciate your continued support."
"Thanks, you guys, and any girls out there. Just don't start stalking us, okay?" Kestria said as her own cheeks went red.
"Yeah, what she said." Raia added with a sinister grin as she held one of her wrappings tightly between her hands. "Otherwise I may have to punish you."
"Don't want to make assumptions, but some of our readers might be into that sort of thing…"
"Even better." The mummy answered with a hint of enthusiasm.
Yuuto sighed to himself again before speaking up. "Well, I guess we wouldn't be here if not for your support. So really, thank you all. I wouldn't be leading this life if not for you." He said genuinely before giving a bow himself.
"Ye have me gratitude too, Mortals." Lala added as she wrapped her arms around her boyfriend. "I wish tae see what future awaits us." She added as her cheeks went red.
"Well, I guess that wraps everything up for now." The Author said out loud. "Guess it's time to send you all home."
"Yeah, I doubt I'll be forgetting this anytime soon." The blonde man added unenthusiastically.
"Oh, I forgot to mention." The voice interjected. "None of you will remember any of this, seeing it'll make the story awkward and what not. Anyway, I'll catch you later!"
With that, a black hole appeared behind them, sucking the group and all the furniture into its form. They all screamed in panic, while Vee squealed with joy at the sensation. After a moment, the black hole disappeared, and all that was left in the void was the disembodied voice of the Author and his thoughts.
"Well, that was fun!" He exclaimed to himself, seeing there was no one else to talk to. "Now, all I need to do is finish off the dates, then the real fun begins." He added in a malicious tone. "Muahahahahahahahahahah-!" He cut himself off as he choked on his own maniacal laughter for a moment. "Damn, I need a cough mint…"
Well, that happened...
I couldn't help it, alright?! I had to interact with them at least once in my life! Okay, I'll admit, I might've gone a little overboard in places, but I couldn't help it. I bet any fanfic writer reading this gets some enjoyment from messing with their MC, I know I do! Just seeing the look on Yuuto's face when I put him in an uncomfortable situation, it's priceless, well, I know I can't technically see his face, but you get the idea.
Anyway, in regards to updates, I'm still working on the second half of 'The Quadruple Date Fiasco', so don't worry, that's still coming. I'm also going to spend some time updating all my previous chapters, just to make sure I've got all the spelling and grammar just right. I've been doing this for a year now, and my work deserves to be at the best quality it can be for my own satisfaction and for you guys and girls too. That said, I'm not planning on doing any retconnig, so the plot will stay the same. Other than that, I've got big plans for the future of this story, so look forward to that.
As always, feel free to follow and favourite if you've enjoyed the story, and leave a review or a suggestion for this story if you'd like, there's always room to improve. And finally, thank you for sparing the time to read the story. Until next time!
