"Excuse me? Do any of you have any reason for interrupting Sir Leon and myself?" Karen Fou Offrey asked as she pretty much sat on my lap in one of the couches of the Host Club. Angie and Clarice glared at her while Livia stared expressionlessly. The boys, Marie, and the other customers looked on in varying degrees of worry.

Allow me to explain how this whole thing started.

It was the final day of the school festival and it was the day where lots of school sponsored events were held. Typically, they were competitions where students could showcase their talents to their peers and to guests from outside the Academy. One of those events was an Airbike race that was held in the morning. At the mention of that event, I immediately tracked down Jenna and talked her into betting on a little known Dark Horse that was going to compete.

Jilk Fia Marmoria

One of the major events in the game that guaranteed a really big payout in money and affection for the love interest in question was that very airbike race. I didn't really care about the affection points, but not betting on Jilk would be leaving money on the table that Marie would likely rake in without any resistance. Like hell I was going to let that gremlin get all the money!

My sister was now smart enough not to question me when it came to gambling on very specific things. The seriousness of my voice and expression was more than enough for her to agree. I was going to join her at the bookies but was dragged away by Brad and Greg to the Host Club instead.

No! My money! I had to gamble!

"Come on! You can't possibly need more money after that big payout when you beat all of us last term." Greg told me with a laugh when I told them about the airbike race betting. You don't understand Greg! It's not about needing more money! It's about having more money! My complaints went silent and I immediately went on high alert when I saw Julius and Chris waiting in the Host Club with a fresh black suit neatly folded on the table.

"With Jilk competing, we need a fifth man to complete the roster for the cafe. Marie recommended you and we saw the wisdom in her idea." Julius explained when he noticed my gaze. I glanced around and saw the gremlin smiling and giving me a thumbs up. After getting peer pressured into the suit, I found myself lined up alongside the boys in the main area of the Host Club. Daniel and Raymond snickered and patted my back when I changed in the back area while they were preparing the supplies for the day. Damn them both!

Thankfully, I was more or less ignored by the customers as they chose to be served by any of the other availble guys instead. That was totally fine with me! Please continue to ignore me until Jilk wins and comes back! Man, I wish I was out there betting on him instead of being stuck here! Jenna must have been having the time of her life!

"I would like to be served by Sir Leon Fou Bartfort." I blinked and turned at the mention of my name. The girl who chose me had dark blonde hair with matching eyes, her hair being styled in a pair of looped side braids. I looked at Marie, who was the one in charge of admission, and she gave me another grin and a thumbs up. What was I expecting?

I got the girl's order and returned to her with some snacks and fresh tea. Regardless of my personal feelings, I had to be a good host. My pride would allow no less. "Your order, miss…"

"Karen. Karen Fou Offrey." She told me her name with a smile while reaching out to pull me onto the couch. She also had three demi-human servants standing at attention nearby as well. Sheesh, talk about flaunting your wealth.

Wait a minute. Offrey? Wasn't that the name of–I glanced to where Brad was and saw him giving me a pitying look. Oh no. This was a girl that Brad Fou Field didn't want anything to do with.

"A lovely name, my lady." I responded, deciding to just get through the experience and end it as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the girl had other plans as she up and lifted herself off the couch and proceeded to sit on my lap sideways. "Umm, there is plenty of space on the couch, my lady."

She bared her teeth in a grin as she wiggled her butt on my lap. "I think I like this seating arrangement better. It lets me get a proper feel for the man who defeated the crown prince and his entourage."

"Feed me a piece of cake, my dear." She said in an overly cutesy voice, one of her hands reaching out and stroking my chest through the suit.

I need an adult!

Must! Remain! Gentlemanly!

I expertly cut a piece of cake with the supplied fork and offered it to Karen. The girl delighted in eating it and, of course, she also made me hold the cup that she drank her tea from.

"I believe that this is not part of the standard service for this establishment." I felt my heart stop when I heard the barely restrained anger in Angie's voice. I looked in the direction of the doors and saw her, Clarice, and Livia just inside and looking right at my current situation.

"If it is, then I'm pretty sure that Leon's lap is already reserved for me and Angie." Clarice spoke like it was a joke, but her smile didn't really look very happy at all. Marie wisely scurried away to the back area while the rest of the guys looked between each other in uncertainty.

And we're pretty much caught up! What a fantastic situation!

"Well, it's not my fault that you two can't hang on to your man." Karen taunted the two girls even as she wrapped her arms around my neck. "But I guess you both have a lot of experience with that, huh?"

Clarice's smile vanished immediately while Angie looked like she was actually just going to murder the girl. Livia stayed silent in the back but her flat gaze never left Karen's face. Julius also frowned and nodded to the rest of the boys to intervene.

To everyone's surprise, before things could escalate, I cradled the girl in my arms and lifted her off the couch in a bridal carry.

She squealed in delight and clung onto me even tighter. "See that? Sir Leon can tell which one of us is worth his time and–"

That was as far as she got before I dropped her on the floor like a sack of flour. Karen grunted in pain as her demi-human slaves immediately went to her aid. Everyone was looking at me in surprise as I moved to stand between her and the girls she was insulting.

"I apologize, my lady. But such behavior is not tolerated in this establishment. Please vacate as soon as possible." I flatly said as I gestured towards the door where a bunch of onlookers had started gathering from the hallway.

"Why?!" The now very angry girl shrieked out while pointing at the girls behind me. "You'd rather choose these two failures over me?!"

The sound my foot made as it stomped on the floor echoed in the room. Karen backed away and took shelter behind her slaves when I snarled at her. "If you don't shut up and stop insulting my fiancées, then I'll tear your throat out myself!"

"How dare you! You're just a Viscount! I'm the daughter of an Earl!" She didn't sound happy about that at all and her slaves looked like they were about ready to throw down with me. That was fine with me! I felt like cracking some heads anyway!

"Correct," Julius cut through the tension and made his presence known. He and the boys stepped forward towards us. "You are just the daughter of an Earl. I would choose your next action in my presence very carefully, Miss Offrey."

"If you wanted to pick a fight with Leon, you chose a really bad place to do it in." Greg added with a vicious smile. Chris nodded in agreement while Brad just looked at Karen like she was garbage. Karen and her slaves looked very uncertain when they realized who else was in the room. A weird rush went through me when it finally dawned that Julius and the boys were actually standing up for me. What a strange yet totally welcome turn of events!

The piece of trash girl cut her losses and beat a hasty retreat, pushing past the crowd outside the room along with her slaves. I closed my eyes and took a few breaths to calm myself down. It was over.

I then opened my eyes when I heard someone actually start slow-clapping. I looked around and saw that it was Raymond, with Daniel following soon after. "Congratulations man!"

Congratulations? For what? I looked at everyone else and they also started clapping with smiles on their faces. All this for telling off a shitty customer? I should do that more! I turned to Angie and Clarice and saw that both of them had their mouths agape, red faced, and completely still. I looked past them and saw Livia clapping with a look of unrestrained joy.

"Leon! You dog!" Greg approached me with a bark of laughter. "You should have told us that you chose both of them!"

What?

"To boldly declare both Miss Angelica and Miss Clarice as your fiancées while threatening the fool who insulted their honor." Chris commented with a rare smile. "I expected nothing less."

Wait, declare Angie and Clarice as my–

"I'm glad that you chose them both, Leon. I'm certain that you will be able to make them very happy." Julius said in no small amount of pride and relief while he shook my hand. My eyes widened when I remembered what exactly I said to Karen. I was about to speak out when Angie slammed into me, wrapped her arms around my neck and–man, her lips are soft.

"Hey now, Angie. He's mine too." I heard Clarice say as Angie finally let me go, only to be replaced by another girl. My vision was swimming from the kiss so I was completely defenseless when Clarice shoved her tongue down my throat. Oh wow, so that's what that felt like.

"Hey! This isn't that kind of establishment! Knock it off!" I distractedly heard the gremlin complain from somewhere nearby. Thankfully, Clarice had enough and ended the kiss. I was still a bit dizzy but I couldn't help but see the way she and Angie were looking at me. The feeling in my heart when I saw how beautiful they were finally made me realize something.

Ah, I guess I really had fallen in love with them without noticing.

Since I was still on the clock, both Angie and Clarice partook of the opportunity to be spoiled by me as customers. They offered the same to Livia, but she happily declined and chose to speak with Marie instead. The tiny knockoff looked completely lost as the girl whose role she pretty much usurped kept asking her questions about the Host Club. Brad took a moment to apologize for the behavior of her ex-fiancée and I just patted him on the shoulder and nodded in understanding.

"I get why you ended up going after literally any other girl before you met Marie." I told him in complete sympathy. The poor guy actually teared up and gave me a hug when I said that.

Angie and Julius still had a weird energy between them, but they both respectfully kept away from each other. It looked like it would still take a lot for that relationship to be mended, if it ever would.

That was pretty much the situation Jilk came back to. Clear confusion was evident on his face when he saw me on one of the couches with Angie and Clarice happily trying to fit themselves on my lap at the same time as I struggled to feed them both cupcakes. Thankfully, neither girl commented on the physiological effect they were having on me as they squirmed around. Though, they both looked delighted when they realized what was happening to me.

Obviously, Jilk won the airbike race. Everyone congratulated him, high fives all around. Even Clarice looked happy for his win, much to his surprise. However, I knew that the real big winners were Jenna and probably Marie based on how she immediately embraced Jilk when he announced his victory. We all had a small celebration in the Host Club and had a pretty fun time.

Interestingly, one of Clarice's followers actually took second place in the overall standings. Neat. Good for him.

I broached the topic about Clara's request to the boys and they were all immediately onboard with some Sky Pirate suppression.

"We all had some work done on our Armors, so it'll be great to demonstrate our respective improvements." Julius said with a smile, the others agreeing with enthusiasm.

I extended the offer to Daniel and Raymond as well, but they declined as they presently didn't have the means to fight such enemies. Fair enough.

With Pandora's Box metaphorically opened, I spent the rest of the day having mini-dates with Angie and Clarice each. The girl who I wasn't with at the time had Livia to occupy them with. I first went out walking around the school festival with Clarice, with us mainly visiting attractions that were explicitly for couples. Clinging onto my arm, making sure that I could feel her softness as she pressed her body against me, and with an expression like she had just won in life.

"How do these even work?" I idly asked as we slowly spun around in a magic version of a teacup ride. The main difference was that the individual teacups being ridden were actually floating in the air. "How do they prevent people from crashing into each other?"

"Who cares? Time to spin!" Clarice declared to my alarm before she started spinning us around faster and faster. "Leon loves me! Woooooo!"

The sun was just starting to set when we met up with Livia and Angie. Clarice gave me one more mind melting kiss before tagging in Angie and dragging Livia away to who knows where. In contrast to my experience with Clarice, Angie and I walked around at a much more sedate pace. Hand in hand, fingers intertwined, her head resting on my shoulder, Angie had an expression of complete contentment.

"We can just try a different stall, Angie." I offered as my other fiancée had a look of focused determination. We were at a stall that had stuffed animal prizes for those who could knock over a certain amount of bottles with a single thrown ball. Angie had not been having the best luck at it.

"Nonsense, Leon." She waved away my concern as well as ignoring the increasingly worried expression on the poor student manning the stall. "It would be an insult to my pride as a woman if I cannot even win my fiancé a prize."

Umm, Miss Redgrave? On what basis?

She eventually managed to do it, winning a stuffed lion. Angie proudly presented it to me with a look of accomplishment that was just absolutely adorable. I couldn't help but kiss her because of it, making her melt into me.

We eventually met back up with Clarice and Livia, the four of us having dinner together as the school festival drew to a close. Both girls gave me kisses when we had to go our separate ways while Livia gave me a big hug.

"I knew you could do it." My best friend whispered in my ear as she gave me one last squeeze before letting go. I watched Angie and Clarice taking Livia by a hand each as the three of them walked back to the girls' dorms.

Looks like I was going to be writing letters that'll make both Duke Redgrave and Minister Atlee very happy men.

The whole thing finally started to sink in when I entered my room. I couldn't help but feel excited by the prospect of being engaged and eventually marrying both Angie and Clarice.

From your smile, I suspect that you had fun today.

My smile got just a bit bigger when I heard Control's voice. "Hey Control! Where have you been?! You won't believe what happened today!"

You've accepted both Angelica's and Clarice's feelings. I know, I saw your dates with them earlier.

Ah, well then. "Cool."

I am happy for you, Leon. Congratulations.

"Thanks, Control. I can't even believe that this is actually happening." I told them while shaking my head. From starting out at the Academy with no prospects whatsoever to having two fiancées! I mean, come on!

I could talk to Control about the whole Sky Pirate situation tomorrow. I just wanted to savor this feeling for now.

It is the future you have chosen for yourself. There is no reason for disbelief.

"Right." I agreed with a nod. I sat on my bed and finally started to feel the fatigue kick in. "To think that none of this would have even happened if I didn't take Livia's advice during the summer break."

Control's next words made my tiredness completely vanish.

Thank you for bringing that up. I actually have something very concerning to talk to you about regarding Olivia.
