" Where am I?" Aiden questions himself. The onyx eyed man was sitting on a field near a river. Aiden notices a figure. " Who are you?" The young man asks. " Darling! Master! Boss!" Three familiar voices called out. That's when Aiden woke up to see Cerea, Miia looking at him worriedly. " Why am I outside?" Aiden thought confused.
Then he remember that Rachnera, Alexis, Mara and Sabrina had asked him to check the attic. The arachnes had told him the floors have been creaking a lot lately. So Aiden decided to check the roof to see if there was any problems. Aiden did have Gao and Kiri helping him. But Rachel needed Gao's help with cleaning up the arachne webs in the house.
Kiri had to leave to help Serenity when her tutor appeared at the house. Aiden has been busy taking care of the everyone else. He forgot to help Serenity with her homeschool work. So he hired a tutor for her. Miia had appeared and offered to hold onto the ladder after Kiri had left. Aiden was about to check on the roof when. " Hey! whatcha doing?!" Papi asked him.
Aiden notice she was flying to close to comfort since Miia started shaking the ladder. " Cut it out Papi, that's dangerous! Get away from Darling!" Miia shouts at the harpy. " Miia! Please stop shaking the ladder!" Aiden pleads to the lamia. " Wha!? What is going on here?!" Cerea demanded as she charged over to help Aiden. Only she ended up knocking the ladder over.
" I'm glad I didn't hit my head on a rock." Aiden thought after thinking about the incident. Suddenly Miia gives Aiden a tight hug. " Jeez you guys. Mom gave me her approval, so Darling and I are dating now. So don't you dare hurt him." Miia told Cerea and Papi. The Centaur and the harpy were shocked then angry. The two started try to pull Aiden away from Miia.
" Papi's mom told her to mate with him!" Papi shouts. " And Master fought alongside me! My mother accepted him as well!" Cerea announces. Aiden was getting hurt by the three girls pulling on him. " If I'm going to marry any of the girls! I need to accept their feelings!" Aiden thought in pain.
That's when Cerea accidentally kicked him. Aiden went flying and almost hit his head on a rock! But luckily Suu caught him. " Thank you, Suu." The young man told her. Since Cerea, Papi and Miia were still arguing. Aiden went inside the house with Suu. As the two got inside the house. Aiden saw Kiri and a girl helping Serenity down the stairs.
The girl has a small, lithe figure and has a doll like appearance. She has short light brown layered hair, hazel eyes and she is wearing a long sleeve green jacket, a white shirt with a large Peter Pan collar that secured by a then thin dark ribbon, suspenders, a brown mid-thigh length skirt, knee-high black socks and white ribboned mary janes.
" How's Serenity's lessons going, Chihiro?" Aiden asked the girl. Chihiro looked at him with a smile. " Her lessons are going pretty good. She was getting bored, so I decided that we should continue her lessons in the living room." Chihiro told Aiden. Aiden simply nods. He didn't want to accidentally reveal his near death experience to Serenity.
" Aiden. I heard something falling outside. Are you okay?" Kiri asks the onyx eyed man. " The ladder fell before I could get on it." Aiden lied. " Aiden. You should be more careful." Serenity told him with a worried look on her face. Aiden simply nods as Chihiro, Kiri and Serenity go to the living room. Aiden decided to wash the floor while Suu watched him. " Are you getting married, Master?" Suu asked him.
" How did you know, Suu?" Aiden question. " I heard Smith telling you to get married." Suu replied as Aiden notice he had a cut on his finger. " Yeah she told me to get married. But it's really hard to pick someone." Aiden told the slime. " Why don't you marry everyone?" Suu asked with an innocent smile.
Aiden sweatdrops at that. " Sorry Suu. But I can only marry one person ." Aiden replied. " Then. Are you going to marry me Master?" Suu asks while pressing her on him. Aiden panics when he notices he's going into her body. " No! I'm not going to escape! I have to except Suu's feelings!" Aiden thought as his head went into the slime's body. Unable to breathe, Aiden soon blacked out.
Meanwhile. Serenity was having her lessons while Haru, Lucine, Shiana and Shaia were watching the young girl have her lessons. They were learning about how to give Serenity her homeschool work if one of them married Aiden. Cathly and Merino was watering Aluru and Kii while Quess and Jelli was playing with Haru. Kagura was at the shrine with Luz, Yuki and Yukio.
Mimi and Chione were playing a board game with Draco. Dina was giving the devils Sein and Rui cooking lessons. Rei, Kazuka, and Ran were helping Gao and Rachel. Tsen and Keros were running while Gaito was watching the Arachnes minus Rachnera cleaning the porch. Everything was fine, but nobody notice Mero rescuing Aiden from Suu.
Poor Aiden had nearly died again. But when Mero rescued him. He was fine. " Beloved. Did Suu attacked you because of what Smith told you?" The pink haired mermaid asks Aiden. " Yeah. One of these days I'm going to kill Smith. Because I keep getting into trouble because of her." Aiden sighs. Mero gave Aiden a sympathetic look. She felt bad that Smith always seems to take advantage of his kindness.
During her time at the Valentine home. She grew fond of Aiden and Serenity. She loves the young girl like she was her little sister. And she found herself falling in love with Aiden. But she knew that the other girls are in love with Aiden too. So an idea just popped into her head.
" Beloved. The filter in my pool has been acting up. Can you check on it, please?" Mero asks him. " Sure." Aiden replied with a smile. He took off his shirt and dived into the water. Mero followed him. " Why did I ask him that? I know I shouldn't have lied, but I couldn't stop myself." Mero thought as she took off her top.
Aiden looked at the filter confused. " It seems fine to me. But there might be something wrong with it." Aiden thought. Suddenly he felt something warm and soft on his back. Then he notice a pair of arms hugging him and he realized Mero was hugging him from behind. " Mero?!" Aiden thought in surprise.
The mermaid continues hugging him but Aiden realize he was running out of air! " I have to accept Mero's feelings too!" Aiden thought with determination before blacking out again. Once again Aiden found himself at the field. He notice a girl that he seen there twice already but was unable to say anything.
Aiden suddenly found himself coughing up water as he was suspended from a web above the pool. " Beloved! I'm sorry!" Mero cries out as she covers her chest with her arms. " It's okay, Mero." Aiden told her with a weak voice. " Didn't me and the other Arachnes asked you to check the roof?" Rachnera asks Aiden.
The young man froze when he heard Rachnera's voice. He completely forgot about the roof. Rachnera grabs Aiden and starts leaving the pool room. " For forgetting about the roof. I'm practicing my 100 forms of bondage on you." Rachnera purrs. " Beloved!" Mero shouts frantically. At the attic. Aiden endured the bondage until Rachnera let him go.
" Alright. What are you thinking about so hard?" Rachnera asks with her arms crossed. Aiden was so surprise he couldn't say anything. " You're freaking out because Ms. Smith told you to marry someone, right? So you are trying to accept everyone and their feelings, aren't you?" The Arachne questions. Aiden just looks at her with a surprise look on his face.
Rachnera makes a doll made of webs. " I think you already know this... But you keep trying to do this 'accepting' everyone's feelings, you're liable to be torn to bits." Rachnera sighs. Aiden gulps when she splits open the doll's stomach. " And I know you would be happy that, Honey. But, It's not going to make us very happy. When you get hurt, it's an accident, we don't mean to hurt you. But... When we do end up hurting you..." Rachnera pauses and looks at her claws.
A mental image of Ren getting injured by her, appeared in the Arachne's mind. " Because our bodies, especially mine aren't gentle on humans." Rachnera adds. " Jeez. You have no idea how I feel do you..." Rachnera sighs. " I do." Aiden told her. " While all the other girls lose control of themselves. You always been really gentle with me and Serenity. That just shows me how kind you are." Aiden told her with a warm smile.
To his surprise. Rachnera looks very embarrassed. "Ahhhh jeez! You like that?! You like teasing me that much, do you!?" The arachne demands while pushing him on her bed. Back at the living room. Chihiro looks over Serenity's math lesson. " Looks like everything is done for the day." Chihiro told Serenity with a smile. Kiri wasn't paying any attention to what was going on. He had just noticed Cerea, Miia, Papi, Mero, Suu, Honey, Queen and Kehp running up the stairs.
" What in the world is going on?" Kiri asks himself. Almost immediately a loud noise came from upstairs. Everyone outside ran inside, while Serenity tried to get up. She stepped on her injured foot and immediately cried out in pain. Chihiro helped her sit back down. " Gaito! I'm going to see if everyone is okay upstairs!" Gao shouts to the other boy.
Gaito nods and goes upstairs to help Gao. Almost immediately, Gaito found Aiden. The younger male notice Aiden was unconscious and checked Aiden's pulse. To Gaito's horror, there was barely a pulse! " Gao! We need to call the paramedics now!" Gaito shouts. Suddenly Aiden wakes up! " Is everyone okay?" Was the first thing Aiden asks. " Everyone is okay, Aiden." Gao told him while helping Miia get out of the rubble.
Eventually Smith arrives and Rachel tells her about what happened. " I'm so sorry Darling-kun! I didn't know that the girls heard my conversation with you!" Smith apologizes. " It's okay. But I don't want to think about marriage for a while." Aiden tells her. All the girls looked shocked to hear that. " I want to train myself before i get married!" Aiden adds with a determined tone in his voice.
" Ms. Smith. Where are Rachnera, Mara, Sabrina and Alexis are going to sleep at?" Serenity questions. The attic was the arachnes shared bedroom. " I have an idea. I'm sending Darling-kun, his mother and the girls to a nearby town to have a vacation. The boys are going to temporarily stay with a different host." Smith replied with a smile. " What about Serenity?" Mara asks. " Mara is right. What about Serenity? She can't leave town with her injury." Keros points out.
" She can stay with me." Chihiro volunteers. " I already asked Dr. Hart to watch her while everyone is away." Smith tells them. At that moment two cars pull into the driveway. Michael steps out of one car and waves at everyone. To everyone's surprise, Tasuku stepped out of the other car and it was the drivers side of the car! " Hi guys! I'm here to pick up my host's three new guests." Tasuku told everyone.
" You can drive?!" Aiden asks in surprise. " Yeah. Zombina was really worried when I first started driving." Tasuku told him with a chuckle. Aiden stayed on the porch while everyone started packing. He was really glad that Lala is the one keeping him alive now. But a part of him was worried. What if she was unable to save him? " Penny for your thoughts?" Chihiro suddenly asks Aiden.
" Chihiro. Do you ever worry about dying?" Aiden asks. " For a long time I did. But my friends helped me realize that I shouldn't be worried about it. It's still scares me, but I can't stay afraid of it forever." The high school student replied. " I'm worried about it because I don't want to leave Serenity alone. " But she wouldn't be alone if something happens to you. She would still have her mom and the homestays." Chihiro points out.
Aiden simply nods. It still surprised him that Chihiro is a boy. But he was more surprise that he instantly knew Chihiro was a boy when he first met him. Aiden remembers that when he met Chihiro, the teenage boy was trying putting up fliers. He was helping his friends and he never expected Aiden to talk to him. They started talking about computer programs until Aiden randomly asked Chihiro to tutor Serenity.
The small boy was surprise, but he agreed to tutor her. Aiden smiles when he remembers the surprise look on Chihiro's face when he told the boy that him and Serenity are hosts. " It's still really amazing that monsters exist." Chihiro said to himself. Aiden nods and smiles when he notices Michael putting Serenity's stuff in his car. " Aiden. Please be careful on your trip." Serenity told her brother. She was being carried by Cathly. " I will." Aiden assured his sister.
Cathly helps put Serenity in Michael's car. Gao, Kiri and Gaito came outside with there bags. " See you later, Aiden." Gao told him, before he went to Tasuku's car. " Please don't die, Aiden." Kiri pleads. " I won't." Aiden reassures him. Gaito didn't say anything, but he looked really sad. Aiden watches Michael's car leave with his life sister. Then he watches Tasuku's car leave with the three boys.
Aiden was sad to see them leave. But he reminded himself that he'll see them again soon. " Wait a minute! Why did Smith send the boys somewhere else?!" Aiden thought suddenly. That's when he realizes that yet again, Smith was up to something. Aiden realize he might end need a vacation if this vacation ended up being chaotic. " Dang it, Smith!" Aiden yells, while unintentionally startling Chihiro.
Smith was already going back to her office. She had a mischievous smile on her face. She had a feeling that Aiden found out about her true intentions. Smith knew Aiden would be very mad at her. But she didn't care, as she drove towards her office.
The next chapter will be out soon. After the next one, there will be a special chapter involving the boys. In case anyone is wondering, Queen, Honey and Kehp were with Miia, Cerea and Papi. They were stopping the argument from the first part. And there was a special character in this chapter. Chihiro is from a series called Danganronpa. Chihiro will show up in the other chapters and other Danganronpa characters will make appearances too. See you guys later.
