Chapter: Sage

I need you to pretend to be in my harem.

"My soulmate is Yang," Sage says, bemused.

Scarlet coughs, choking on his drink. Once breathing again, he turns on the dorm bed, placing his book on the night table. "You're joking."

Sage shows him the bubbly letters on his sword.

"You're not joking," Scarlet deadpans. He takes a long drink, thinking it over. "Do you think it appeared before or after her uncle gave you the shovel talk?"

Sage laughs, setting his large sword to the side. "Either way, I'm sure it will be a great story to explain."

Scarlet nods knowingly. "You can be part of her real harem now." Sage chokes on his laugh, and Scarlet smirks evilly. "You can use this as proof to her uncle that you care for her, and she'll lose the bet to Ruby."

"I'm not letting Ruby win," Sage says, eyeing his friend warily. "You'll get your own talk soon enough."

"Her aunt's already seen me for it," Scarlet says, waving off intense look and grabbing his novel. "Nice woman. Told me we were good as long as I didn't break Ruby's heart. This pretend harem stuff is fun, isn't it?"

Sage sighs hard and reclines on his bed. "I heard Fox got a more serious talk."

"So did Coco; she was trying not to laugh so hard she was crying."
