Chapter 6

Old Hideout

Emilie and Lea had wrapped themselves in the bed's blanket and went outside to check on what was going on. As they went through the door, they saw a glimpse of Shizuka chasing Satoshi around and down the path of the Old Hideout, balls and arts flying everywhere in a lightshow, as well as her screams of anger echoing through the woods. The couple was hugging, still naked under the blanket, and looked at eachother, sighing.

[Emilie] : ... Well, hum... that happened...

[Lea] : ... [nods]

[Emilie] : Kinda ruined the mood now, no?...

[Lea] : [shakes head]

[Lea] : Sorry Emilie...

[Emilie] : Oh no no... I should apologize : it's me who pressed the pick up button...

[Lea] : ...! [shakes head] I!

[Emilie] : [sighs]... Let's not dwell on that too much... What's done is done...

[Emilie] : And... to be honest, I loved it~

[Lea] : ...!

[Lea] : Love you~

They both hugged eachother closer. But suddenly, an hologram appears next to them...

[Sergey] : Huh-hum... Thanks to who?

[Emilie]&[Lea] : ?!

[Emilie] : Sergey! Would you please leave us now?!

[Sergey] : W-well, could we at least get a thank you for adding those words to Lea?

[Sergey] : And for making all of this possible in the first place?

[Sergey] : AND for giving you a payment for your services?

[Sergey] : That YOU asked us to do and YOU accepted, within the terms we discussed together?~

[Emilie] : . . .

[Emilie] : ... Huuuhgh... Fine... Thank you Sergey...

[Lea] : ... Thanks...

[Sergey] : You are welcome~

All stayed silent for a bit as a level 3 art was happening in the distance...

[Emilie] : ... So, err... Did you guys at least got what you needed?

[Sergey] : Huh? Oh! Right, of course! The experiment went well.

[Sergey] : Lea's evotar was able to manage the... process without any damage to its system, construction or memory.

[Sergey] : Maybe... we are missing your "input" Emilie but hum...

Emilie stares at Sergey's hologram menacingly...

[Sergey] : Y-yeah... Figured you were less willing now...

[Sergey] : Then again, we should have enough data to guess it would have been fine anyway. Even if it's not 100% accurate measurements...

[Emilie] : ... Sure.

[Sergey] : There's still the sensitivity issue though. But this can be easily fixable by adding a few sliders to your add-on. That you two will be able to set it up as you please.

[Emilie] : ... Ah? That's possible?

[Sergey] : Of course. The new Avatar you got can easily be toggable in your inventory now.

Emilie curiously checks her inventory to check this out. There was indeed new add-ons in there : one dubbed "Avatar 2.0", the other called "Removable clothes". Emilie decides to turn the first one off to test it and indeed, her avatar updates itself to remove her nipples and sex, leaving a bland skin under the blanket.

[Emilie] : Huh. That's neat.

[Lea] : ...

[Emilie] : And what if I...

She turns the add-on back on, but immediately cringes and bends down, as her body retreives the high sensivity.

[Emilie] : Aaaagghhh!...

[Lea] : ...?!

[Sergey] : Ah... Well, the sensivity comes back with it.

[Emilie] : Uuhhfff... Oh mon dieu... That's the worst part...

[Sergey] : Hmm yes, we should also tune out the feeling of your clothes too. With the second add-on.

[Sergey] : Speaking off these add-ons, you two will be able to carry them other to the regular Playground.

[Lea] : What?!

[Emilie] : Really?!

[Sergey] : Indeed! They are now yours. Use it as you wish~

[Sergey] : I'll... highly recommend you turn them off while on the Playground though, and only activate them when... well, the time is right?

[Emilie] : Heh... Don't have to say it twice...

[Lea] : ...!?

Lea nudges Emilie and points forward. Shizuka was comming back, but Satoshi was nowhere to be found. When she got closer to the wrapped up couple, she blushed a bit.

[Emilie] : Oh... Err, h-hey...

[Shizuka] : ... Hey...

[Lea] : Hi...

[Sergey] : H-hello Shizuka...

[Shizuka] : So, who's "good" idea was this?

Emilie shyly raises her hand.

[Shizuka] : ... I see.

[Sergey] : K-know that this was purely a scientific experiment and-

[Shizuka] : Yeah, Satoshi said that...

[Shizuka] : Before he logged out on me.

[Sergey] : Oh...

[Shizuka] : So, now what? You two are gonna live here now?

[Emilie] : Errr, n-no?... I-I mean...

[Shizuka] : Good. Because I don't want to see you gals here again. Got it?

[Emilie] : H-hey! H-hold on Shizuka... Look, we're-

[Shizuka] : Shut up. This place isn't a brothel. If you want to screw around, go somewhere else.

[Emilie] : What?! Hey! What's your problem?! Why you gotta be so aggressive?!

[Sergey] : N-now now ladies, please...

[Shizuka] : My problem is that you two just had sex in MY house!

[Emilie] : Your house?! What, because you don't have one in real life?!

[Shizuka] : I lived here with Satoshi for years now! So yeah, this is basically my home, frenchie!

[Emilie] : Satoshi invited us here! It's his house too, if we follow your logic, madame-je-m'énerve-pour-un-rien!

[Shizuka] : WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME, B-

[Lea] : WWAAAAAAIIIIIIIITTTTTTT!

Lea interferes between the two, the blanket dropping just a bit, making the couple naked bodies briefly visible. Shizuka blushes and turns her head, still fuming from the argument. Lea frowns at both girls. Emilie just crosses her arms and looks away like Shizuka.

[Emilie]&[Shizuka] : ... Hmpf...

[Sergey] : ... Alright, listen here, girls.

[Sergey] : Things have gone a bit fast, I admit, and we never told Shizuka about this. You are, in some way, right to be mad at us for this. However, know that this was for a couple of things :

[Sergey] : First, because Emilie and Lea loves eachother dearly and they wanted a proper way to express this love.

[Sergey] : Second, Satoshi always thinks further ahead about the developpement of Evotars and he beleives they could be as close to humans as possible. Which includes multiple things you can probably guess.

[Shizuka] : ...

[Sergey] : We are very sorry for the unpleasant surprise and we promise you that we'll keep you informed if we agree on another... experiment here.

[Sergey] : But I want to ask you to please never tell anyone of what transpired here and to respect Lea and Emilie's choice, as well as Satoshi's and mine.

[Sergey] : None of this was made with ill-intentions. I hope you understand this Shizuka.

Shizuka lowers her head, rubbing her arms, regretting her attitude a bit.

[Shizuka] : ... I... still don't want them to do this here...

[Shizuka] : Could there be... another place?

[Sergey] : I thought about it, and yes actually.

[Lea] : ...?

[Emilie] : Ah?

[Sergey] : Lea's room in the Evotarground! It's been untouched for a while now.

[Lea] : ...!

[Emilie] : Oh yes! I remember you told about this!

[Emilie] : But, isn't the place full of Evotars?

[Sergey] : Well, yes and no. We ask them to come there from time to time for some research, but we gave them "houses" to live in Rhombus Square.

[Sergey] : It's a way better place than the Vermillion Wasteland...

[Emilie] : Oh. Wait, does this mean Lea has a house too?

[Lea] : [shakes head]

[Sergey] : No. She politely refused. I beleive that's because she enjoys roaming around freely, right?

[Lea] : [nods] Lea!

[Shizuka] : ... Heh. Yeah, me too actually.

[Emilie] : ... But, didn't you just...

[Shizuka] : Doesn't mean I don't care about this place.

[Emilie] : Ah... Fair enough.

[Emilie] : ... Also, didn't Instatainement planned on openning Vermillion Wasteland to the public? Wouldn't that... defeat the point?

[Sergey] : Well, not the "current" Vermillion Wasteland. They plan to create a new playable one, while the old one will serve as a "memorial site" of sorts, for Evotars and a few select individuals, to not forget what happened there.

[Emilie] : ... Still sounds... risky...

[Sergey] : The developpement process hasn't started yet, and I'll keep you informed. We'll just find another place until then.

[Emilie] : WE, Sergey, not you...

[Sergey] : ... Oh! R-right... Yes, it would be wise for me to not pry further...

[Emilie] : Hehehe~ Thanks for your help anyway!

[Emilie] : It really means a lot to me. You too, chérie?

[Lea] : [nods] Thanks!

[Sergey] : You're welcome!

[Shizuka] : ... Okay so... Are we good now?

[Shizuka] : Could you hum... pack up and leave?... Please.

[Emilie] : Oh hum... Sure! L-let us just dress back up...

[Lea] : ...!
