Guest chapter 1 May 15: Listen 'dude'. You are not ENTITLED to anything! I am not getting payed for this. Ghost and I write and publish these chapters for fun, and they go up when we want them to. I have SAID that, since this story is back to one upload a month, said update will be posted between the 14th and the 19th of each given month. So... yeah.
I do not OWE you an upload. Demanding one, especially like this, is the easy way to annoy me.
Silent Master of Winds: Kawakami specialises on physical attacks.
43ra: I am ignoring you now. And if you ask again, I am blocking you. I have explained VERY CLEARLY for the last THREE chapters, excluding this one, how the new upload scheduel is working. The chapter is posed in the middle of the month, between the 14th and the 19th. I have made that VERY clear. Again, knock it the fuck off.
Zero kami no mu: Wow. Thanks for reading so much. Well, the reason why we aren't showing it... is because it's not neccisary? We are not going to show him for every summoning and fusion and what not. Especially since he is shifting between the two Velvet Rooms.
delubyo420: We aren't. I am being honest here when I say, Hifumi is not joining the Phantom thieves. It was just a fun reference to the fact that she WAS originally planned to be part of the team.
Mark The Gamer of Grima: Possibly.
F8ZEPHYR: We are NOT doing this sort of story for Persona EVER again. It's already been nearly two years, and we are at best half way through! Hahaha! P3 and P4 are getting oneshots at best.
MashiroNguyen: Yeah. She is ignored so hard. It is so weird.
WILD TEA BREAK: Don't think it works that way
Neo Infinity: Oh, Lavenza's family is coming.
chimchar14: Lavenza was being kinky. Dirty talk. Being an all powerful being? Being submissive would be so 'freeing' and different.
Also... Sojiro was joking. Ren is a teenage boy surrounded by attractive women. Was just making a joke.
Drakolf: This is all stuff we have answered before. Why a harem? 1, because why not. 2, it is cannon that all the girls have crushes on Ren. And 3, because we are indecicive bitches who can't decide on just one girl when all of them are so good.
Ren's suicide was an act of defiance. A final 'screw you' to those around him, refusing to give them the satisfaction of seeing him suffer. Fueled by his despair of having literally everything ripped away. Without his phone he had no contact with those he cared about, everyone hated him, he barley ate, had no money and so much more. Heck, several weeks before he did the act he got seperated from Morgana. Concidering Morgana is a physical representation of humanities hope, Ren LITERALLY lost hope.
Shiho? We wanted to do something different. And Ren NOT trying to help her would make no sense. If you know something like THAT is going to happen? You would help. It is only what a decent human being would do.
fluke2441: THANK YOU! I actually had an argument with a guy about this over the last few chapters.
Zeromaru Chaos Mode: Gonna be honest with you dude. Normally I would not spoil stuff like this, but considering your arachnaphobia?
The Persona of adults will not be evolving.
The idea of a Persona evolving is a form of self actualisation. Of growing up and coming to term with who you are.
That is something adults, especially ones like Kawakami, already have been through. Heck, her awakaning was basically stating that.
So... Arachne is here to stay.
Sorry.
Also, Lavenza looks the same age as Futaba. And Futaba is only one year younger than Joker, and the same age as Violet from Persona 5R.
StevieBond: Thanks. We ARE keeping that joke, BTW. Hahaha
Vein Bloodborne: We are NOT doing PQ2! Have you SEEN how damn large this story is already?! And you want us to do a SIDE TRACK for a game JUST AS LONG as P5, with THREE TIMES the cast?! I am sorry, but that is a HARD no.
MementoMori115: Damn it! *throws three whole chapters away* LOOK WHAT YOU DID! WE GOTTA START OVER! GHOST! GHOST! WE GOT LEAAKS! AND NOT THE VEGETABLE!
Here are some reviews answered by Ghost:
carpenterzac7: chuckle You'd think that.
strikerstriker315: Don't worry, he will. There's just not enough hours in his day.
MementoMori115: How did you know that was their whole conversation? turns to Grey Leaks! We've got leaks! laughs
Vein Bloodborne: We've got plans for Lavenza's relatives making an appearance. Don't worry.
Edrick Twilight Legend: Thanks very much, it's been fun writing these.
StevieBond: Yeah, I think that was my idea. I can't remember though.
Drakolf: Because in all Persona games, multiple romances are an option and P3 had a legit harem ending. We're not telling you the limit, that's a surprise. It was true despair; but also kind of planned. We wanted Shiho to be more than just 'the lady in the fridge', we through there was a lot of potential with her. Glad you've been enjoying the story thus far.
Neo Infinity: Don't worry, they'll give their 200 yen on this situation.
MashiroNguyen: Hey, we've got plans for these lovely ladies. So we've got an idea where to go with them.
UltimateCCC: We plan this story out months in advance. So yeah, we know the deadline.
Mark The Gamer of Grima: Don't worry about the Principal, we've got plans for him when the time comes.
Zero kami no mu: We use Igor and Lavenza sparingly. Though Ren does visit them off-screen, it's not like we're dictating his entire life.
Silent Master of Winds: Don't worry about Fleur (Kawakami), she's got her own position settled.
Disclaimer: We do not own Persona 5. That belongs to Atlus.

Chapter 35
Shopping Trip Part 1, Welcome Fleur
Ren finished getting dressed for the day, thinking about what to do about the whole Futaba situation. It had been weighing heavily on his mind since she told him her true feelings. Well, not with words. But it was kinda obvious when she was basically trying to give him a footjob through his pants while they played video games. After all... that was the kind of thing a girlfriend or love interest would've done to grab someone's attention.
It was kinda... Yeah, he wasn't THAT stupid.
He held his forehead and needed time to process it all... and hopefully figure out what he was going to do.
He was dating Ann and Shiho and Tae.
He had an awkward situation with Kawakami.
And NOW there was this whole thing Futaba.
Thunk
'What is my life? How am I going to handle this?' He thought seriously and with worry. Oh, and then there was Lavenza.
'Shit! Lavenza! How am I going to explain this to her?' He panicked. Heck what WAS his relationship with her? Because there would be no way it would last after he saved the world... Right? She and Igor would just leave again... Right? 'Damn it. This is all too much.' He thought to himself.
"Hello? Ren, you good?" Morgana asked
"It's... nothing, Morgana. I'm just deep in thought, that's all." He stroked his head gently.
Morgana purred as he enjoyed the head pats, pushing his head into Ren's hand.
"I've just got a long day today." Ren admitted.
"Yeah, a full day shopping." Morgana chuckled. "I think I'll stay here today."
"You're not coming with me?" He asked.
"What can I possibly do in your bag?" Morgana rebutted. "I'd get restless while in there."
"... Damn your wily cat ways." Ren joked and shook his head.
"Nyeh-heh-heh!" Morgana laughed.
"Fine, fine, guess you don't want any fatty tuna then." Ren smiled
"Hurck! ... Damn you and the deliciousness that is fatty tuna!" Morgana was immediately tempted by the delicious treat. "Hnnmm... Okay, I'll go!"
"Thanks, bro." He smirked, lifting him up and stroked his belly.
"Nya~, r-right there." He purred gently and nuzzled in his arms.
Ren gave a small laugh, rubbing his cheek against Morgana. He didn't know what he would have done without him, honestly.
"Hey, Ren! Your friends are here!" He heard Sojiro called from the coffee shop down bellow
"On my way!" Ren called down, slipping his bag over his shoulder "In you go."
"Aye aye, leader." Morgana joked, easily slipping into the bag.
Ren laughed a bit and went down the steps from his attic bedroom into the main part of LeBlanc itself where the others where waiting "Hey guys." Ren waved... and realised that the girls where wearing new outfits
"Hey, Ren." They smiled.
Ann was wearing a white shirt with red circles, a gold ring and blue circle as the print, the bottom of the shirt was tied in a bow, wearing a red and yellow striped bra under the shirt, a small gold necklace around her neck, heart-shaped hoop earrings, red-framed sunglasses, a red white and blue striped bracelet clasp, a pair of frayed jean shorts with a red belt around her waist with a silver star buckle. And finally a pair of pink and white heeled sneakers.
Shiho was wearing a blue striped shirt that went to her navel, a pair of white shorts with a black belt, a pair of red sandals with a pair of plain blue sunglasses on her shirt's lip to carry them.
Makoto was wearing a black leather, short-sleeved jacket with grey zips and a buckle around the neck, a silver necklace on a white shirt, black leather trousers with laces stitched on the outer thighs, and black flat shoes.
"Wow, you all look great." Ren commented as he saw them.
"Thanks, you're looking well with yours." Ann commented as she gave a sexy wink, before the three girls room a step aside revealing Futaba.
Futaba was wearing a black cap with her blue overhead headphones, a yellow shirt with a pixel purple heart on her chest, black booty shorts, a large green hoodie trenchcoat, seafoam blue sneakers with orange laces. "H-Hey Ren." She waved nervously.
"Wow, looking cool Futaba!" He smiled
"Thanks. Everyone helped out." Futaba admitted as she had her slouch. She blushed brightly with a smile. The girls had helped her shop, helped her bring this unique costume together.
"You all look great." Ren answered, walking toward them and patted Futaba on the head.
Futaba gave a small squeal as she grinned, shaking slightly.
"Yusuke and Ryuji are waiting at the train station." Makoto responded with a small smile
"Awesome. We're going out, Boss." Ren responded.
"Don't have too much fun. I'll be worried if you're all out late." Sojiro commented, prepping a cup of coffee while looking at Futaba in worry
"We won't let her out of our sights at all, Mr Sakura." Makoto reassured him.
"Good luck." He nodded
Ren smiled as he left with the four girls, Ann and Shiho looping their arms around his.
'This is nice.' Both Shiho and Ann thought as they walked with him, keeping Futaba covered with Makoto being on 'guard duty'.
'Jeez, this makes it seem as if he's a playboy.' Makoto thought to herself.
"So, the shopping mall; right?" Ren asked
"Of course, we've been waiting for this." Ann responded.
'Oh Ren...' Futaba thought with a small smile, hoping the girls plan would work. Last night HAD been a bit scarey...
*Flashback*
The four girls entered the clinic of Tae Takemi, Ann leading the charge "You sure this is gonna be okay?" Futaba asked nervously. "I know she's one of us but-"
"It'll be fine. Besides, we need to agree on letting you two in." Shiho commented
"I said, I'm not interested in him like that." Makoto whispered
"Then why are you here?" Ann smirked before she called out "Tae, you here?! Doctor Takemi?"
"I'm here, you don't need to yell." Dr Tae Takemi responded, seeing the four girls. "I was busy taking notes." She emerged from her office our back, rubbing her neck "... Does this have anything to do with the guinea pig?"
"Yes, it does." Shiho nodded. "But please don't call him that."
"Wait, is that what you call Ren?" Makoto asked in shock.
"Yes. He helps me work on some experimental drugs. Totally safe, but I do need to check for side effects. He volunteered and in exchange... I sell him the medicine he uses." Tae explained
"Oh my god, I didn't know." Makoto whispered as she heard that.
"So, what do you need?" Tae asked Ann and Shiho, before looking at Makoto and Futaba."They want in." Ann explained bluntly "And I'm fine with that."
"Are you?" Tae's eyebrow raised as she left the medicine room and to the front desk. "And what about you, Shiho?"
"I'm alright with it too." She answered.
"Huh." Tae responded as she looked at both Makoto and Futaba. "Hmm... Who are you?" She asked
"I'm Futaba Sakura." Futaba answered.
"And I'm Makoto Niijima." Makoto followed
"'Niijima'? As in 'Sae Niijima'?" Tae blinked in shock.
"You know my sister?" Makoto asked.
"Yes, I knew her. We went to college together." Tae smiled. "If you want to know more, ask her about her 'private doctor'." She laughed softly
"Um...Okay? I will." Makoto responded.
"Now... You Ms Sakura. I haven't seen you in my clinic before." Tae pointed at Futaba making her back up on worry
"U-um. No. I-I haven't been in this clinic before." She shook her head.
"Why?" Tae asked, clearly worried
"I. Um... I've been... I've been a shut-in since I was a kid." She admitted.
...
Tae frowned as she heard that and pointed to her office. "My office. When this is all over. And once a week."
"Y-Yes, Ma'am." Futaba gulped nervously, feeling like she was in trouble with her.
"Good." Tae nodded... before sighing "We better go in." she urged softly, opening the door to her office.
"Okay." The girls nodded as they walked into her office, though it was a bit cramped, they managed to sit comfortably on the seats and the bed. Tae took her normal seat, looking at the two new girls. If these two wanted to date her boyfriend, she needed to learn as much as possible.
"Now, we've got to establish rules." Tae spoke seriously which caught everyone's attention. "I'm guessing you two know about Ann and Shiho's relationship with Ren? And how -I- am also dating him." Tae informed.
"Vuagely." Makoto nodded "Shiho and Ann told us some stuff."
"Well, to settle this matter as simply as possible. Ann, Shiho and I are the 'heads' of this relationship when it comes to Ren. We've known him the longest and it would make sense that we have first say in who is allowed to join." Tae explained.
"Seriously?" Makoto gasped.
"I. Hmm." Futaba mumbled before retracting her voice. 'I-I kind of knew that.'
"Please hold any questions until the end." Tae asked. "Another thing is, we all share time with our Guinea Pig. No one can have a whole monopoly on him and we must get along with each other."
"Says you, Tae." Shiho giggled softly "You and Ann have had... how many jealousy arguments?" she teased
"Quiet, Shiho." Ann blushed
"That being said... it's good to voice our opinions and what we each want." Tae cleared her throat gently "We ARE all one couple, after all."
"Yeah, yeah that makes sense." Futaba nodded. 'It's like a visual novel.'
"You... seem to have experience with this." Makoto commented.
"Ask your sister." Tae repeated
"... Okay." Makoto gulped nervously.
"Now, we need to set these ground rules." Tae added, clapping her hands gently.
"Yep." Ann nodded, and decided to have fun teasing the two new girls as she sat on Tae's lap
"Hmm!" Futaba squeaked as she saw this, either from nerves... or excitement... no one was really sure
"Now. To business." Tae continued, putting her hand on Ann's back to stabilise her and the other hand slipping between Ann's thighs
"You two." Shiho blushed and facepalmed softly
"What? It's what we need to get used to." Ann chuckled as, feeling brave, she pulled Shiho info a kiss. Shiho's eyes widened as Ann was putting on this brave face.
Makoto covered her mouth as she tried not to audibly gasp... while Futaba's glasses fogged up in excitement as she saw this.
"You good now?" Ann joked/teased... while clearly being embaressed herself
"Yes." Shiho mumbled and nodded gently.
"So... as I was saying." Tae smirked
"Um, yes. Yes, right." Makoto responded.
"Okay." Futaba nodded, rubbing her glasses
"If you want in... you need to convince our lover boy yourself." Tae stated
...
"Huh?" Futaba asked
"Ann, Shiho, and I WILL NOT be helping -either- of you at all." Tae said, stressing her words "You will have to convince Ren that you like him, that you want to be with him and for him to return those feelings. All by yourselves."
"That's unfair." Futaba frowned.
"It's the only way to make sure it's YOU showing your true emotions." Tae answered. "Also an unfair advantage. And it feels as if we are FORCING Ren into this rather than him letting you in."
"You know... You're right." Makoto nodded
"Wha-Makoto!" Futaba yelled
"She's right, Futaba. It is only fair. If we want Ren to like us and want us in his harem, we need to earn our place. Otherwise we are forcing him. And that is beyond wrong." Makoto said simply
"I thought you didn't feel that way about him~" Ann teased
...
"Shut up." Makoto mumbled
...
"Oh fine." Futaba grumbled "Way to up the difficulty to Merciless."
"Don't worry Futaba. Ann already told him we are... Accepting of more girls joining." Shiho smiled "I'm sure you'll do fine."
"Thanks... I guess." The gamer girl mumbled
"Anything else?" Makoto asked
"Outside getting to know you girls, which I think these two do already, not really." Tae shrugged "And I prefer that in a one on one session. So if you follow Shiho out, just mark an appointment to meet up with me."
"... Why me?" Shiho asked
"Because I want to make this kitty purr." Tae smirked, grasping Ann's chin between her fingers
"Ooohh~!" Futaba cheered, as her glasses began to steam a bit
"Let's get out of here." Makoto mumbled
"It is probably for the best." Shiho agreed, the three heading out
"I'll catch up later!" Ann waved, before turning to Tae "I'll have you know, I'm more of a Panther than anything." She smirked
"Not with me, Kitten." Tae said with a dark glint in her eyes, sliding her band between Ann's thighs ...
*end flashback*
"Ah, here we go." Shiho spoke as they arrived at the station.
"Yo!" Ryuji waved his hand, signalling the others.
"There they are." Makoto sighed in relief. "... What is Ryuji wearing?"
"Is that a Neo-Featherman print T-Shirt?" Futaba asked
"The rest of my cloths are in the wash, damn it." He grumbled
"Neo-Featherman is awesome!" Futaba's eyes shone excitedly. "Who's your-? S-Sorry."
"Hey, don't worry about it," Ryuji reassured.
"Seems that everyone here is excited about our outing," Yusuke added.
"Yes, meaning we can shop till we drop." Ann smirked.
"Within reason. I am not sure my wallet can handle it." Yusuke remarked.
"... Here." Ren reached into his wallet and pulled out a couple hundred thousand yen.
"You don't have to-!" Yusuke gasped as he saw it.
"Dude. I know you. Take it and enjoy yourself." Ren answered. "Think of it as... Kaneshiro treating us."
"Hey man, can I have some to?" Ryuji smirked and laughed
...
"Dad's giving out allowences!" Futaba cheered, before grabbing Makoto's arm and continuing her joke "Hey, hey! Mum! Can I get a new computer? Mwahahahaha!"
"I-tch-what?!" Makoto double-took as she heard that and stammered in response.
Futaba had made the 'team mum' joke a few times, but this one REALLY caught her by surprise.
"So you weren't lying when you said you where a dad." Kawakami laughed from behind
"BWAH!" Ryuji leapt back in shock, seeing their teacher there.
"Ms Kawakami?" They asked.
"Why're you here?" Ryuji panicked.
"I can't go shopping?" she frowned
"I'm sure he didn't mean that., Ms Kawakami." Ren explained. "Ryuji's just stunned seeing you."
"Oh, I see." Ms Kawakami responded, to which Ryuji chuckled nervously.
"Are we ready to head to Shinjuku?" Ren asked.
"Yes!" They responded together. They boarded the train, enjoying the quick ride while Ren was 'surrounded' by his girlfriends.
"So... you girls look good." Ren repeated
"Thanks, Ren." Ann smiled.
Shiho snuggled up a little closer to him as a response, holding his hand but in such a way that other people couldn't see.
'Man, I'm so frigging jealous.' Ryuji thought to himself.
Ms Kawakami was looking at the two getting cuddly with Ren. Though she wasn't their teacher, at the moment, it was still... awkward. Not just for the fact she was a teacher, their teacher, but because of the... situation she had with Ren 'Well, I suppose it's not too bad.' She thought sitting in her chair 'Come on Sadeyo. You don't... shouldn't like him like that! You're not jealous! You can't be! Cut it out!' she told herself angrily
"Excuse me, Ms Kawakami." Yusuke spoke respectfully to her.
"Yes, Yusuke?" She asked, turning to him.
"How are you? All things considered." Yusuke asked.
"Quite well. Thank you... though... It's been a little disorienting." She admitted. "Just... all of this."
"Do we have all the equipment we need?" Makoto asked
"I think so... Might need to get some upgrades though." Ren answered. "Doubt there'd be anything we can do about better weapons though."
"'Weapons'?" She whispered as she heard that.
"Maybe some better armour might be needed." Ryuji commented.
"Where on *Earth* are you going to get 'armour'?" Ms Kawakami asked.
"You'd be surprised." Futaba responded.
"We do need to get our stuff from somewhere." Ren smiled and winked, bringing up the Phantom Thief stuff silently
Bing! Bing!
Shibuya Station.
The speakers informed as the train came to a stop.
"Here's our stop." Yusuke spoke as they got up and left for the city.
"Would Untouchable even SELL riding crops, though?" Ann asked
"... Probably not. Can't hurt to ask though." Makoto answered as they soon entered the busy streets of shinjuku.
"It's like the city's busy today." Shiho commented.
"Yeah, it does." Ren nodded.
"Okay, where should we head to first?" Ann asked, before pulling Ren in the direction of a clothes store.
"Whoa, okay!" Ren muttered as he was pulled away.
"So, wait. Are we just splitting up?" Ryuji asked, slouching a little with his hands in his pockets.
"... Sakamoto, please don't slouch. It'll ruin your back." Ms Kawakami responded.
"I-tch-what?!" He stammered as he was 'reprimanded' by his teacher making the others snicker.
"Let's go, Ryuji." Yusuke chuckled to his friend, pocketing the money Ren gave him.
"Right." He grumbled
"Where shall we meet up?" Makoto asked, stopping Ann and Shiho from going to far.
"Err... The cafe?" Futaba suggested.
"Yeah, the cafe. Two hours?" Ren nodded
"Two hours." They nodded, setting a reminder on their phones, except for Ms Kawakami who checked her watch.
"See you guys later." Ryuji waved.
"Yes, I need to collect some more art supplies... And some groceries." Yusuke muttered to himself.
"Let's go Shiho." Ann urged
Shiho nodded, leading Ren away with Futaba and Makoto close by.
Ms Kawakami was feeling... a little out of sorts. Should she accompany Ryuji and Yusuke? Or follow Ren and the girls? She was honestly unsure. And that was possibly the worst part.
She scratched the back of her head... before she was called by Makoto. "Ms Kawakami? Would you like to be our chaperone?"
"Are you sure? You don't mind?" She asked.
"What are you doing?" Futaba whispered.
"Part of a cover?" Makoto whispered back.
"Won't having her with us be suspicious?" Futaba whispered back
"It'd be less suspicious than Ren being alone with four girls. Plus... I'm worried for you." Makoto responded.
"... Thanks." Futaba mumbled as the sun reflected her glasses.
"Of course." Makoto smiled
"Thank you, Makoto. I'll accompany you." Ms Kawakami nodded as she followed the girls and Ren.
"Later guys!" Ryuji waved. "Have fun!"
"We shall meet up again soon." Yusuke nodded
Ren and the girls were walking down the streets, going to the clothes stores to try things on.
"More cloths shopping? Didn't we go yesterday~?!" Futaba whined
"Oh, Futaba. You have so much to learn." Ann responded.
'Well. This is good.' Ren thought to himself, realising he was with five beautiful women.
'OH, this is going to be fun, Ren.' Mona thought to to himself as they walked with him in the bag.
The group all walked together, soon arriving at one of the larger clothing stores in the city; where Ann and Shiho almost dragged him to the more exclusive ends of the store. Wall to wall, shirts, trousers, bras and shoes.
"Really girls?" he blushed
"Of course, you need to see what we're picking out." Shiho answered.
"Why?" He asked, seeing the prices on some of the items
"We wanted to treat you." Ann responded, putting the tags down.
"Treat me?" He asked, curious what she was talking about
"Whoa..." Futaba whispered as she was getting overwhelmed by the various clothing and felt out of place. All of these looked more for 'girly girls' rather than the comfy clothing she as used to.
"You okay?" Makoto asked
"Yeah, just... I've always worn comfy clothes for most of my life. And... I'm not sure that I'll pull these off." Futaba pointed out some frilly clothing.
"I think there's more here than just that sort of stuff. Look here." Makoto pulled out a long vest that had neon-green trim.
"Wow."
"Ooh, this is nice." Ms Kawakami commented as she saw the vest and also a long-sleeved shirt for herself.
"Want it?" Ren asked
"Are-? You don't have too." Futaba whispered
"It's no problem. You can try it on."
...
"I'll be a minute." She blushed
Ms Kawakami grabbed the shirt and headed to the changing room, almost acting like a school girl with how exciting this was.
"Aww. That's cute." Ann joked
"... Did our 'chaperone' run like a school girl?" Futaba asked.
"Yep." Both Makoto and Shiho nodded.
Futaba began to chuckle as she began to think of some perverse stuff.
"Ooh, Ren. What about this?" Ann asked, showing off a new shirt and laying it over her chest.
"Real stylish." She smiled
"Hmm; what about this one?" Ren asked, pointing to a red shirt.
"A little on the nose." Ann smirked as they looked at the clothes.
In the changing room, Ms Kawakami pulled the door closed and looked at the shirt before putting it on.
'Is this alright? Wearing something like this?' She thought as she began to put the shirt on and looked at herself. Slipping the shirt on she realised the outfit was a bit... Provocative "Oh...Oh my goodness." She whispered as she looked at herself. She was wearing a blue short shirt, that exposed her bellybutton and clung to her chest. "Hmm!" She covered her mouth and squeaked a little, seeing her body in this shirt. She looked younger, a bit more risque for her age. But it felt... a bit more liberating. She hadn't gotten around to wearing this sort of stuff since working as a teacher.
"Wow. I look nice." She whispered as she looked at herself, tapping her neck gently. If anyone asked... she could've shown herself as a teenager, or younger woman. She gave herself a twirl in her potential new shirt and smiled. She felt younger just wearing this. 'I wonder what he'll say about this?' Before she blushed profusely.
"Ms Kawakami?" Makoto's voice spoke through the door and knocked politely.
"Huh? Yes, Makoto?" She asked, turning around as she opened the door to see her.
"You where in there for a while, are you okay?" Makoto asked
'Oh... damn it Sadayo!' the teacher hissed at herself. One, for being so absorbed into her fantasy. And two, for having such fantasies in the first place "I'm fine Makoto, sorry. I was a bit distracted."
"Okay. That shirt does look nice." Makoto nodded with a smile
"Thank you Makoto." she smiled soflty, closing the door again '... Damn it, Sadayo! Damn it, damn it, damn it! It's... you can't! He is younger than me! And he's your student! You can NOT do this! You've been over this a HUNDRED bloody times! Just drop it, god damn you!' She removed the shirt and returned her own shirt onto her body. She decided to just browse and keep an eye on the girls and Ren. She couldn't be like this.
'Hmm... She was in there a little while.' Futaba thought as she saw her walk out with the shirt from the rack as her imagination drifted to what she could have been doing in that room "Hehehehehehe..."
"I-" Makoto began before closing her mouth 'Just... Don't, Makoto. Just... Don't.'
"Hey Makoto, I think this would look good on you." Ren said casually
"Sorry?" Makoto turned and then saw the shirt and jacket that was in his hands.
It was a black faux-leather jacket with grey stitching, a dark blue shirt with a grey design of a motorbike on the front.
"Wow, those... Um." Makoto mumbled as she took them. "Thank you."
"Come on, put them on." Futaba urged.
"I-Fine. Alright." She sighed and took them, seeing Ren looking at her. "Thank you." And she headed into a changing room.
"Re~n." Both Shiho and Ann sung as they came out wearing two sets of different clothes.
He gave a charming smile and span around, expecting the worst "Yes?" he asked.
"What do you think?" Shiho asked as she showed off a short white shirt with a rainbow flower pattern, a pair of jean shorts and a cute bandanna around her neck.
"Do they suit us?" Ann asked as she held a tight red long sleeve shirt with 'Fire' written in blue, the shirt ending at her stomach, with a plad mini-skirt that barley passed her hips, fishnet stockings, red fingerless gloves that didn't pass her wrist and a few extras.
Ren covered his nose and nodded, his face burning red as he saw them. "Yep. Yes, you do."
The two smiled, going back to back and giving thumbs up with sexy winks.
'I don't know if I can handle this.' He thought to himself.
"Are you alright, Futaba?" Ms Kawakami asked.
"I'm... er... REN! REN! REN!" the red head mumbled, before exploding into a scream
Everyone jumped at Futaba's sudden screaming, her voice having quaked for a while
"Futaba? What's wrong? Are you okay?" He immediately went to her, though she was chaperoned with Ms Kawakami so she wasn't alone.
"C-C-Can you come in?" the girls voice queaked
"I-What?" Kawakami blinked in worry "Did I... do something wrong?"
"No. No, you didn't. I-I-I just want Ren." Futaba stammered.
"Sorry. She's got... Some problems." Ren explained as he entered the changing room The two where now in the changing room, rather close actually. There was not the most space, and Ren was rather tall for his age. Even though Futaba was... As malnourished as she was, there wasn't THAT much room "What's wrong?" He asked
"There's... There's so many people out there." She mumbled with a blush
"Oh, okay." Ren nodded reassuringly as he looked at her new clothes. "Why don't you show me here? One person at a time."
"R-Right." She nodded, pushing him down into the chair. Her face was bright red, like a tomato. She was wearing a long black shirt with and neon-green edges having the number '01' on the front, baggy light green cargo pants with multiple pockets on her legs. 'This is it, Futaba! Your chance!' she thought, gulping loudly to herself "How-How do I look?" She asked, her hands clasped in front of her collarbone as if she was holding back the urge to hide behind them
"You look wonderful." Ren smiled, gently touching her arm reassuringly.
Futaba gulped loudly again... Before she sat on his lap, straddling him, so her face was close to his.
'Err...' Ren looked into Futaba's tomato-red face as she was on his lap...and honestly, nervous about holding her like this. Her hands where against his chest, gripping his shirt tightly to support herself as she looked into her eyes. Her lips seemed to refuse to close, as she let out small pants of hot air he felt brushing against his neck and jaw. Ren looked up at her, seeing how nervous she was and he knew he had to do something. Though, he didn't want to take advantage of her.
...
"REN! ILIKEYOU!" Futaba mumble-shouted before slamming their lips together
Ren's eyes widened as he felt Futaba's lips on his, their teeth almost touching because of how fast and hard Futaba slammed their lips together.
Both of their eyes where obscured, the two holding each other awkwardly as Futaba put all her passion into the kiss
Ren was trying to breathe slowly, feeling his heart bump in his ears while his mind was racing that Futaba was kissing him.
Futaba broke the kiss, panting weakly. Her glasses all fogged over
"Fu... Futaba." Ren whispered, looking past her fogged glasses to try and see her eyes.
"Ren..."
Ren looked at Futaba, feeling conflicted. But hearing her that she 'loved him'? How would he react? He thought so, however he'd been debating the entire situation for the past few days. "Futaba." Ren held her close. "Are you okay?"
"Yes." She nodded... And burried her face into his chest "You... You mean so much to me. You saved me. You're helping me be... Me. To experience everything. I'm only getting better thanks to you. And you help Sojiro. And you're so nice. And you're just WONDERFUL! I know compared to the other girls I'm just a noob, but I... I love you, you goof! You didn't steal my treasure, but you still stole my heart!"
"Futaba. I promise I'll make you happy. If you want to join my... for lack of a better term, 'harem'; I'm happy with that." Ren responded.
"R-Really?!" She gasped
"Yes. But, I don't want you to be overwhelmed or anything." He responded and cupped her cheek gently and gave her a soft kiss on the fourhead
Futaba squeaked happily, hugging Ren tightly as she sat on his lap and was just overcome with joy.
*elsewhere*
Outside, Shiho, Makoto, Ann and Ms Kawakami were waiting for the two of them.
"What's wrong?" Kawakami asked, pointing at the stall. Clearly talking about Futaba's situation
"Futaba's asked Ren to be in there with her." Shiho responded.
"She's probably just nervous about this." Ann followed up.
"Oh, yes. You did mention about her not being good in social situations." Ms Kawakami nodded with understanding, knowing what they meant.
"She has trouble with big croweds still. ren is kinda like her safety blanket." Ann explained
"Ahm I see. He certainly is that for people." Ms Kawakami nodded
*with Futaba and Ren*
"My Key Item." Futaba whispered as she hugged Ren closer. She whished she was in her normal outfit right now, she'd be able to feel him closer to her body. His hands against her thighs, his bodyheat close to hers, his buldge against her thin shorts.
'F-Fuck. Futaba.' Ren thought as he was this close to her. Feeling her rock against him. "Hey, hey, calm down." he urged gently with a smile
"Sorry. Just. I'm just excited." She admitted, hugging him as she was embarrassed. "I've... wanted this for a while."
"Okay, I understand... But we are in a public place." Ren whispered. "Maybe when we are in a more 'private' place we could try something... more?"
...
"Meep!" Futaba gasped as she blushed neon red, passing out in his arms
"Hehe. She can be too easy." Ren smiled weakly and lovingly. He stood up, holding her close, before walking out of the changing room "Hey!" he smiled
"Is she okay?" Kawakami asked
"She's fine, she gets like this sometimes." he smiled and nodded, walking over "Ann, Shiho, I need to-"
"We know." they smiled
"It's-wait, you do?" he blinked
"Yep. Already gave permission." Ann winked "She worked faster than I thought."
"She really did." Shiho nodded in shock while handing 500 yen over to Ann
"You two. You're gonna be the death of me. You and Tae." Ren grumbled, but smiled
"You'll make a cute corpse if we are!" Ann joked and kissed his cheek
'Am... I missing something?' Kawakami thought in confusion
"Hey, is everything okay?" Makoto asked as she walked out of her changing booth
"Yeah, it's fine." Ann nodded with a grin "Let's buy all this and go to another store!"
"Another one?" Ren asked
"We are shopping! One store is NOT enough." Ann smirked "Right Shiho?"
"Right." she nodded
"... Oh my poor wallet." Ren whispered as he realised that this was just the first hour.
All the while, in his bag, Morgana was snickering and stifling his laughter.
"We need to get some stuff for Morgana after all." Shiho said with an evily innocent tone and a gentle smile
"A-wait. What?" Morgana stopped laughing as he heard that.
"Good idea." Ren smirked as he looked in his bag.
"... Please no." Mona whimpered, trying to give 'big anime eyes' to change Ren's mind. However, all it did was reinforce the idea. "No... No... No... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
*time skip*
"Hate you. Hate you all." Mona grumbled as he was wearing a large cute multi coloured sweater with rainbows on
Click!
Click!
Click!
Futaba was taking as many photos as possible, making sure the memories lived on in their phones. "But this is so worth it."
"I've found another one!" Shiho called out, holding an even poofier sweater.
"You look adorable, Morgana." Ms Kawakami stroked his head affectionately.
"Noooooo~! Ren! Help!" The cat of hope cried
"Okay, okay. I think we've had enough fun at Mona's expense." Ren commented, picking him up and tried to take the sweater off. He gave the cat a quick scratch under the chin, making him pur and relax. "You're alright now." Ren reassured him.
"Ren, quick question." Makoto pondered.
"Sure, what's up?" He asked
"You know in the MetaVerse how our clothes are treated as armour." Makoto questioned
"Yeah, pretty simple logic." Ren nodded
"Well, what if these clothes were like the 'top tier' of clothing for Morgana?" Makoto joked.
...
Ren had to laugh a bit at that, even as Mona pouted in his arms.
"I. Will not! Be a Phantom Thief wearing any of those clothes, Makoto." Morgana mumbled, not enjoying being used like this.
"Morgana, what about this?" Ann asked, showing a suave tuxedo looking outfit for the cat.
"... Okay, that's a better style." Shiho commented.
"I have to ask... Would any of these work?" Makoto pondered.
Futaba just shrugged and showed the pictures. "Makes for good memories."
"Can I say something?" Mona asked.
"Sure." They answered.
"I want to wear that!" He pointed to the tuxedo. "For all the goofy sweaters."
"Okay." The group answered, while Ms Kawamaki was looking at various cat and dog toys that were there. Some of which were tassel toys, which got her thinking about her riding crop weapon that she used in the Metaverse. It lingered on her mind since she didn't know what to get or where to get them.
"Where would you even get a riding crop?" she mumbled to herself
"Pardon, Ms Kawakami?" Ren asked.
"Nothing. I'm just, talking to myself." She lied.
"You can tell me." he encouraged
Ms Kawakami sighed and turned to him. "Considering all this... 'Metaverse' situation. I am worried that I do not have access to 'weapons'."
"Ah, I see. Well. We can go and ask Boss at 'Untouchables' if he has any stock." Ren responded.
"You really think he might have some?" Kawakami asked, tilting her head a bit
"Couldn't hurt to ask." the Phantom Thief leader shrugged
"Tah-dah! Ladies and Ren. The smartest dressed cat in Japan." Ann gestured to a fabulously dressed Mona.
"Looking dapper buddy!" Ren laughed
"Thank you, thank you." Mona nodded and smirked. "Now this is something a Phantom Thief can wear."
Ren laughed, opening his bag for the little cat. "Let's get going."
Mona leapt into the bag and purred, knowing that Ren had enough money to pay for the clothes these weren't that expensive; right?
...
Right?
...
RIGHT?!
*time skip*
"Oh fuck no..." Ren whispered
A few minutes later, Ren's bank account went trough a wallet-ectomy. Having lost... quite a bit of money from this excursion. True, he spent a large amount on weapons and armour... but this hurt. He was just lucky he had as much as he did.
...
But NEVER again!
"Are you okay?" Shiho asked as she hugged his arm.
"Shopping dates are now band." He mumbled
"What?" Both Shiho and Ann frowned.
"But. But we were gonna go computer shopping next." Futaba mumbled.
Ren went silent, feeling the world go cold around him. 'Oh... fuck.' He realised, feeling a deep and horrible shiver go up his spine. Ann suddenly grabbed his other arm, his two oldest girlfriends hugging his arms as they looked up at him. Meanwhile Futaba, his newest girlfriend, looked up at Ren nearly in tears. Ren didn't want to disappoint them; especially Futaba who just agreed to be a shared girlfriend. "Um, wh-what I- I err. They're not banned. But, please, show some self-restraint."
...
"Please?"
...
"Let's go!" Ann cheered, the three girls happy once again
"Oh boy, Ren..." Morgana sweatdropped
"Good lord." Kawakami blinked at the sight that just took place before her 'He's... What was going on there?'
"Wow..." Makoto blinked before she narrowed her eyes in determination
*Time skip*
"No." Iwai stated, his arms crossed
...
"What?" Ren asked
"I said no." Iwai repeated "Look kid. I don't know what weird kinky homemade smut you and your friends do, but I don't sell riding crops."
"But you have whips! Don't those count?!" Ann asked, almost shouting as she looked on in confusion
"These whips aren't made with the thought of sexual conduct in mind." Iwai answered, grabbing one. It was a mixture of leather with a dulled metal tip, a fencer's sword-like grip and studs. "Does this look like something you'd want to get slashed by? One wrong move and this could cut an artery."
"... You have a point." Ann frowned, huffing angrily
"Maybe you can direct us somewhere that does?" Makoto asked.
"... Jesus Christ, kid. How many did you rope into this?" Iwai turned to Ren.
"It's not as bad as you'd think it is." Ren admitted.
Iwai sighed heavily and looked at them, taking the whip back. "Look. I can give you the address of a place that a friend of mine runs. It'll have the sort of thing you're looking for. But you didn't hear it from me. Got it?"
Ren simply nodded, giving the reassured silence of security.
"Um... while we're here..." Futaba asked, looking at some armoured clothes.
'Oh god.' Ren facepalmed. "We... might be here a while."
*time skip*
It took some time, but they managed to find the store that Iwai lead them too. It was also tucked away in the red-light district of the city.
...
"Er..." Makoto commented quietly
"So... who's going first?" Ann asked nervously.
"Not me. Mum would kill me if she found out." Shiho responded.
"I could-" Futaba raised her hands, before noticing the sign that read: 18 or over, or accompanied by an adult. Sure, they where all legal here in Japan... Except Futaba was a bit too young to go in there
"Want me to wait out here?" Ms Kawakami asked, thinking like a responsible adult.
"But aren't you supposed to be in?" Shiho asked. "Your weapon should be personal."
Makoto sighed heavily. "Alright. I'll look after Futaba out here and wait by the convenience store with her."
"Wait a sec." Ren rubbed his eyes under his glasses and grabbed his wallet... and nervously opened it up.
"I've got this settled. Don't worry." Makoto stated simply, putting her hand on his arm
"You sure?" He asked.
"Yes, no go... get your... creepy paddles or whatever." Makoto blushed, waving her hand to usher them in.
Ann, Shiho, Ren and Ms Kawakami nodded and entered the store; where, it was neatly lined with various 'toys'. Whips, dildos, paddles, boxes of lube and mannequins holding leather bondage outfits or racks of different costumes.
"Oh... my..." Ms Kawakami muttered as she saw the styles and different shapes of the items in store... god, it was so relieving that she didn't have to work at Victoria's anymore.
"You guys lost?" The cashier asked, seeing the group all 'huddled' together like that.
"Oh, no. We were. Um... We're looking around." Ann explained.
"Anything specific?" The cashier asked.
"Riding crops. If you have them." Ren asked.
The cashier looked up and down Ren with an inquisitive look. "Little young to be asking for that; aren't you?"
"I'm legal." he shrugged, keeping his casual feel
The cashier sighed and shook their head. "Fair enough. I'm not your mama. What kind are you after?"
...
"A good one?"
The cashier sighed and brought out a few samples of riding crops from behind the desk. "Alright, here. We've got the 'Ruby Stinger', 'Obsidian Whip', 'Lapis Huntress'. Three of some of the 'good ones'. And a starter's crop."
Ren and Ms Kawakami looked at the four different styles of riding crops. And this set off Ren's 'Metaverse Sense', or thought how these might be used well.
The 'Starter's Crop' was a simple black riding crop, plain black grip, a folded rectangular end and a loop to ensure it could be worn.
[Attack: 80]
[Accuracy: 98]
8,960 Yen
The 'Ruby Stinger' was a medium length crop with a diamond-stitch grip with a rhombus pad.
[Attack: 140]
[Accuracy: 94]
[+Burn (Low)]
11,990 Yen
The 'Obsidian Whip' was shorter than the Ruby Stinger, having black and grey leather straps on a swirled grip.
[Attack: 150]
[Accuracy: 89]
[+20 HP]
13,980 Yen
And finally the 'Lapis Huntress', a dark blue and black long riding crop with a heart-shaped end with a looped grip for use.
[Attack: 160]
[Accuracy: 96]
[+Freeze (Mid)]
21,220 Yen
"Any here that you like?" The Cashire stated calmly
"Could I try them?" Kawakami asked
"Sure. Always happy to let a new customer get a feel for their equipment." The cashier answered casually. "What about you ladies?" She turned to Ann and Shiho.
As that happened, Ms Kawakami picked up the 'Starter's Crop' and gave it a swift and small swish. "This one looks identical to the one I already have." She mumbled to herself
"U-Us?" Shiho gulped
"Yeah. You are young, but it's always nice to see new people get into this." The cashier nodded "Especially BDSM."
'Am I in trouble?' Ren thought to himself since... yeah, there were 'whips' here. Not the same kind as Untouchable's but still.
Swish, swoosh!
"Hmm." Ann hummed, playing with a whip for a moment
"N-Nope! Nothing like that! It's-" Shiho blushed quickly.
"There's nothing to be ashamed about. Seriously, if there wasn't such a 'taboo' about sex stuff, people would probably be less stressed." The cashier answered.
"So... What's the dynamic here?" The cashier added, pointing at them
"Girl/friends. Friends/girls." The three answered giving conflicting answers.
The cashier heard that and nodded to themselves. "Poly relationship. Got it." before chuckling "But not what I meant. I meant who Dom's who. Or is one person the Dom and the rest are all subs. Or what."
Ms Kawakami stopped mid-swing and froze as she heard that. "I-Is that something okay to ask them?"
"There's one other person... she's more experienced. So probably her." Ann admitted.
"'Probably her' what?" the cashire said in an almost teasing tone
"She's probably the 'Dom'. I guess?" Ann responded.
"Ah-ha... One moment, please." Ms Kawakami pulled her students to the side.
"WOW!" Ann and Shiho yelled, as they where dragged away
"Kay." Ren blinked, looking at the Riding Crops "This one, please." he said, holding up the Lapis Huntress
"Right away." the cashire nodded "... So... you a sub to?"
"Actually it's more of a switch situation." Ren eplained awkwardly "We all kinda take turns with each other."
"I see... this way." the Cashire smirked
*with the three girls*
"Whoa, Ms Kawakami!" Ann called out. "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? Why didn't you tell me that you were in such a relationship with Amamiya?" Ms Kawakami inquired. "And that there are other women involved?"
"It's... We thought you knew." Ann commented. "We've talked about it and-"
"How many? How many are in this 'relationship'?" the teacher frowned
"Well, currently there are four but we there might be a fifth by the end of today." Ann admitted "Why? Something wrong?"
Ms Kawakami closed her lips as she heard that. Ren Amamiya had this level of Charm to have multiple girlfriends? And they knew about each other in this regard?
"We are fine with the open relationship." Shiho stated calmly "Since he is open about it. He isn't cheating on us. He isn;t being quiet about it and sneaking behind our backs."
"If he was we'd kick his ass." Ann added darkly
"But... why are YOU worried about this, Ms Kawakami?" Shiho asked, voicing the question both she and Ann had "Why are you so curious about our relationship?"
"W-Well. I-I'm your teacher. And... And it would be seen as inappropriate that this was to...come out and-" She spoke with a flustered tone and fiddled with her fingers.
...
...
...
"Oh..." Ann blinked
"Oh my..." Shiho gasped
"How fucking good IS he?!" Ann called dramatically while throwing her arms up into the sky
"Ms Takamaki!" Sadayo snapped, hearing that word come for her lips... but also terrified that she was found out.
"We aren't in school. Get use to the language on the job." Ann waved off
"Ms Kawakami, in this 'life', it hurts to have secrets. Especially if Ren is involved." Shiho added.
"Exactly." Ann nodded
"So, Ms Kawakami." Shiho spoke as she raised her hand and pointed at the teacher. "What exactly do you have towards Ren?"
*meanwhile, outside, with Makoto and Futaba*
"Ah~, thanks for this, Makoto." Futaba sighed in relief, having a cup of soda in her hands.
"No problem. Do you feel better?" the council president smiled
"Yeah, I do." nodded the red head
"That's good. I DO worry for you." Makoto smiled
"As I said, you're the team mum." Futaba snickered quietly.
"I guess." Makoto mumbled a bit "I picked it up from my Big Sister. Before she..."
"What? Became a bit bitchy?" Futaba asked, slightly casually
Makoto sighed and nodded. "In not so crass a term. But yes. She has... she has it rough at her job as a prosecutor."
"I'm sorry." Futaba commented
"It's fine."
"You have been hanging out with Ryuji too much." Makoto commented
"Have not!" Futaba huffed "At least I told him how I feel!"
"I-I don't know what you mean." Makoto gasped as she heard that, looking away.
"Please, Makoto. Stop the tsun-tsun act. It is cute to a point." Futaba stated simply "You joined me when the other three passed judgement, they gave you permission to, you accepted the rules for joining the relationship and part of today is about us confessing to him and asking if he'd be willing to let us join. Kinda taking it a bit far not to accept it now. I asked and got a yes. You need to hurry up a bit."
Makoto sighed and put her drink to her forehead to cool herself off. "Fine. Alright."
"There we go!" Futaba laughed weakly "You just need to tell him that, now! Should be easy. You two DO have great chemistry."
"You really think so?" Makoto smiled gently.
"I know it!" She nodded. "The mum/dad comments aren't JUST jokes! Also... you're hot as hell! You should see how he looks at your ass, when he isn't glaring because you're driving Morgana's bus form!"
...
"Okay..." Makoto mumbled, sweat dropping
*with Kawakami*
"I see, I see." Ann nodded, her arms crossed and her eyes closed. Clearly trying to look as knowledgeable as possible.
"So that's what's going on." Shiho agreed, having listened to what their teacher had to say.
"And I can't do anything about it!" Kawakami responded "I am his teacher, this is wrong! And the age gap! On so many levels, this can't happen!"
"Ms Kawakami?" Ann spoke up. "In my opinion? That's bullshit."
"Wh-what?" She stammered.
"'Age gap'? You've got ten years on him? That is nothing compared to some relationships. There are people who marry 20 to 30 years in difference in this country." Ann said proudly "Heck, I am a MODEL! I keep up with this stuff! Some of those relationships pro models get into are kinda... gross."
"But... again..." Kawakami flinched "I'm... I'm his teacher. It's wrong. And if I go after him, then I'll be no better than Kamoshida."
"Ms Kawakami. You are nothing like that fucking bastard waste of humanity." Shiho spoke venomously about her abuser. "Kamoshida was a predator, he used his power as a teacher and athlete to make himself untouchable. But you? You're kind, you are a good person."
"But getting with a student? How is that any different?" she countered genuinely
...
"You know what? You're right." Ann nodded "It IS wrong for a student to get with their student. It is completely against the law."
"Exactly!" Kawakami snapped/sighed
"Sorta like what we are doing as the Phantom Thieves." Ann smirked victoriously
"Ah! EH... ah... oh..." Ms Kawakami was brought down back to reality as she realised what Ann just said. And, oh, just how right she was.
"All you have to do, is be careful." Ann responded "Which, heck, with five other girlfriends? We can help keep it descreet and private. Because give it a year and a half? He's not your student anymore."
"That IS true." Shiho nodded "I mean he is supposed to move back home at the end of the year, right?"
"Yeah." Ann nodded sadly "So, technically, you just have to keep it secret that long. Since hw won't be YOUR student once he goes back to his home town. And when he comes to visit you can do couple stuff like the rest of us."
"Plus, I am sure he'll move back here once he graduates." Shiho smiled proudly "He's already grown so close to so many people."
Ms Kawakami nodded as she heard that, thinking about what all this could mean. After all... it was only a year and a half. Then, they could be fully together and in a more public relationship.
"So, what do you say?" Ann asked
"I-I'm not sure." Kawakami admitted "I need to think about it."
"Well here." Shiho commented, quickly texting Kawakami
"What's this?" the teacher blinked
"It's the number for the other girl in the relationship. If you descide to join, call and have a chat with her." Shiho explained as she put her phone away
"O-Okay...?" the teacher blinked
...
"Hey, girls?" Ann asked "Did either of you realise we've had this entire conversation in the gag section?"
"Huh?!" they both blinked and looked around. Sure enough they where surrounded by all sorts of gags, in air tight vaccum packed card backed plastic packaging. Ballgags, ringgags, gags shaped like dildos, gags with outward facing dildos, spider-gags, gags with removable plugs and more.
...
"Hahahahahahaha!" the three began to laugh, smiling.
After having a good laugh at the weirdness they walked away, going to find Ren. Who was chatting with the Cashire near a wall
"So you're sure this is good?" Ren asked her, leaning forwards a bit in curiosity
"Trust me, my girlfriend and I love this stuff." The cashier answered "That model is PERFECT for what you want, TRUST me!"
"Okay, I guess add it to all the rest of the stuff." Ren nodded
"Er... Ren?" Shiho asked in worry
"Yeah?" He asked, turning around to see them. "Everything okay now?"
"Yeah." Ann nodded... before pointing at the bag he was holding "What's in there?"
"Err. Things. Things for later." He answered.
"Things?" Kawakami asked as Ren passed her the ridingcrop he had bought
"Yeah." he nodded, before smiling at Ann and Shiho "Don't worry, I remembered your sizes."
"Our... sizes?" Shiho gulped
"This might have been a bad idea." Ann added
"Don't worry, I love you." he assured, giving them both a kiss to the cheek "Both of you. Just some... fun for the future. I'm sure you'll love it."
"Heh?" Both blushed as they turned to him.
The cashier chuckled to themself. "That boy's gonna die." And went to read a magazine as the group walked outside.
