I gently open the door to see if the girls are doing fine. I enter the room with a nervous smile when a fist punches me in the gut. It isn't that painful, but I still recoil from it. I look at the person who threw that punch, it was Natsuki. She had tears in her eyes and her body is shivering.
" DUMMY! IDIOT! YOU NEARLY GOT BEATEN UP!" She continue punching me weakly in my abdomen. Tears are forming in the corners of her pink eyes.
" That was reckless of you, idiot! You could have gotten seriously hurt... and it would have been my fault..." Natsuki stop throwing her punches and her fist now rested on my chest. Her arm is quivering heavily.
" I'm... sorry... I dragged you into this... I should've helped you in some way..." She rested her head on my chest and sob quietly. I pat her bright, pink colored hair in an effort to try and comfort her.
" There, there. Everything is fine now, it's not your fault." I tightly embrace Natsuki like a child hugging their stuffed toy. It seems to comfort her. I gently caress her pink hair to try and calm her down.
" Still, that was irresponsible of you. If Akami-sensei wasn't there, who knows what would have happened to you!" Monika folds her arms and pouts at me. I glance at Sayori's direction to see that she had a worried expression on her face.
" Sorry! Sorry! I won't do anything like that again, okay? Anyway, I think the meatloaf is ready." I pull away from the hug with Natsuki and smile.
" Why don't we eat first before you guys start scolding me, okay?" Monika and Sayori let out a sigh while Natsuki wipes away the tears on her face.
We head out of Sayori's house and walk silently towards mine. The atmosphere around us is heavy and tense. We passed by Natsuki's dad's car and I shiver at the sight of the interior of it. Empty bottles of alcohol are strewn about along with pieces of trash in the seats. We enter my hoyse and I quietly close the door behind us. I went to the kitchen and pull out the meatloaf in from the oven. I turn to look at the trio, Monika and Sayori did their best to comfort the weeping Natsuki. I sigh as I set the meatloaf on a plate to cooldown. I set the silverware and plates for the three of us and begin to serve them their meals. I sit down and we begin to eat in silence. I did my best to try and lighten up the mood, but after what just happened earlier, I don't think it's possible.
" Hey... Natsuki, don't be so hard on yourself! It's not your fault that Yoku nearly got beaten up by your dad that was looking for you. Wait... oh." Sayori accidentally made the situation more awkward. She mouths me an 'I'm sorry.' and proceeds to fill her mouth with the meatloaf.
" A-Anyway, the vegetarian meatloaf you made is really delicious!" Monika smiles and eats a spoonful of the meatloaf.
" Y-Yeah, thank you... I did my best to make it taste like real meat." I say proudly to the brunette, who was busy eating the meatloaf. She gives a thumbs up as she chewed her food.
" Anyway, Natsuki, are you feel-" The front door creaks open, and a haggard and tired god enter my house. He walks slowly and sleepily towards the chair beside me and sits. He then plops his head on the table, making a loud thud before letting out an exhausted groan.
" Oh man... I have paperwork and hearings to attend to tomorrow until Friday. Ugh... this is why I hate human laws." After he finished complaining, the two pink haired girls give him a strange look.
" Human laws? Hearings? What happened Akami-sensei?" Sayori asks the god with a tone of concern and curiosity.
" Oh, uhm... I mean I hate dealing with law stuff, I prefer studying laws about physics and such. You know, the laws of Science and Physics and stuff, Ahaha~" The god is once again lying himself out of a pickle, and the naive airhead infront of him believed it.
" Oh, I almost forgot! Natsuki, sorry to bother you... but I need you to come with me tomorrow to the court house." Natsuki's eyes widen with shock as she look at the god, who was resting his head on the table.
" W-What?! Why?!" Natsuki stands up from her chair in surprise.
" Well, one of the cases laid against him is child abuse and neglect. You need to testify against him if you want him to be punished." Natsuki is frozen with fear as the god explains to her the situation.
" Look, Natsuki... I know it would be a hard thing for you to do. I understand, no child should ever testify against their parents. If... If you don't want to, it's fine, but the moment he finishes serving time for his other charges, you'll be back to living with him." Even though Akami-sama is weary and tired, he stands up and places a hand on Natsuki's shoulder.
" This is for your own good. I'm pretty sure everyone here would help you get back on your feet once this ordeal is over." The god smiles at Natsuki, before letting out a yawn. Natsuki is somehow comforted by this.
" I... I'll go. Akami-sensei, I'll be in your care for tomorrow." Natsuki's voice is quivering at the pressure. The god sigh and gives her head a gentle pat.
" Guess I'll just have to recite your poem tomorrow, Natsuki. Ahaha~" Monika smile and stare at Natsuki.
" Oh, jeez... You better not mess it up! I worked really hard on that!" Natsuki huffed at Monika, who just giggled at her.
" I won't, now finish up your meal so you can go back to Sayori's place." Monika ordered Natsuki, who reluctantly complied. The god laughs as he walks out the door and leaves.
I jump on my bed after taking a hot shower. Man, that shower hit the spot! It's just what the doctor ordered after a long day like this. I close my eyes to try and get some shut eye. Suddenly, a heavy weight falls on top of me and I could feel the air from my lungs get squeezed out. I open my eyes to see what is the cause of this, only to be met by the gaze of a pair of glistening and moist emerald green eyes. She has a seductive smile spread across her face.
" You know Yoku... I was really envious of Natsuki. The way you have been treating her and spending time with her." She embraces me tightly, I could feel her warmth and heartbeat due to our intimacy. She leans her head forward and proceeds to whisper into my ear.
" I was really afraid I might lose you to Natsuki. You seem to be much more fixated towards her than me." She hugs me tightly like she is holding on to a fading object.
" Good grief, you're such a possessive person at times. Monika, I'm just helping Natsuki deal with the stress and problems she have right now. I'm not planning on romancing anyone else in the world, Just Monika, right?" I return her warm embrace as I say these words. She purr as I run my fingers trough her brown hair. She looks up to me with those mesmerizing green eyes which twinkled under the light of the moon.
" Then, promise me you won't leave me." Monika wanted my reassurance, her cute yet obsessive attachment to me made my heart throb. I smile and held her hand before plunging in for a kiss. I pull away shortly after and with a reassuring tone, I said;
" I promise to never leave you be. I promise to share all of my time with you in this reality, be it times of joy or tragedy, I want to experience it all with you until the day I die." I press my forehead against hers and close my eyes. The sound of our soft breathing can be heard in the now silent room.
" So... do you also promise to stay by my side forever?" I ask Monika, who gleefully replies instantly.
" Yes! I will gladly spend all of my waking moments with you, now and forever.," She smiles and looks up to me, revealing the droplets of tears that are forming in her eyes. I wipe them away before holding her right cheek with my right hand. We leaned forward and a passionate French kiss broke out between us.
Our tounges danced with each other, exchanging our saliva and love with each other. I held her face sensually with my right hand while I pulled her closer with my left. We pull away from each other for a moment, a line of saliva connecting our two lips. We are panting and gasping for air as we press our bodies together. I could feel myself getting hotter and agitated. The feeling of my blood gushing towards my cheeks and groin is too much to bear. I got on top of her and I feel a surge of lust take over my mind for a bit. I stare at Monika's beautiful figure, my hand moved away from her face and towards the first button of her pajamas.
" Yoku... I can't take it anymore! I... I want to do it! My body... I feel hot right now." Monika gasps out, her voice could be mistaken for moans.
" Yeah, I-I want to do it to! Monika..." I stare into Monika's eyes and lean forward. I grazed my lips on top of hers in order to tease her for a bit before I truly dive into a deep and steamy kiss.
Her muffled moans just turned me on even more. Our legs were in a position that my right leg is in between her thick thighs. She arches her back as I held her arms above her head. My left hand is now unbuttoning the buttons that covered her blue bra. But before I could fully undo the buttons, we hear a chair move and a familiar voice letting out a 'tsk'.
" Good grief. Earlier today you kept judging and criticizing me for looking at the costumes of highschool girls. Now here you two minors are, on the verge of doing something only adults should do." Akami-sama sat infront of us with a mischievous grin on his face. Before I could react, Monika let out a shriek before pushing me off of her. I landed on the floor, my face breaking my fall.
" Yoku! I'm SO sorry! Are you hurt?" Monika leapt off the bed and help me stamd up.
" Y-Yeah... I'm fine... BUT WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" I angrily shout at the god. Akami-sama merely laughs in amusement as we stumbled to fix ourselves.
" I'm not saying you should stop. Ehehe~" Akami-sama chuckled as he reposition himself into a more comfortable posture.
" I genuinely... hate you." Monika mutter out as she buttons up her pajamas. The god places a hand on his chest and fakes a hurt expression.
" Ouch, harsh words for the being that made your romance possible! Anyway, I digress from the topic at hand." The god brings up a command console that is different than the one Monika uses.
" I'm losing the administrator privileges and I feel that something is taking them. I've been looking at the world files for a while now... but I haven't found anything." He let out a saddened sigh before slumping back into his seat.
" Is this... why you're dying?" I ask the god with concern. His only reply is a laugh.
" What? No! You see Yoku, I'm a foreign line of codes that this universe, or any other universe beside mine, does not recognize. I'm not really dying, I'm being deleted like a virus in a computer." The god's chuckle slowly fades away.
" The universe is nothing more but a super computer, and I am a program from a different one. It takes a while for the universe I'm in to create a kill code to delete me, but when it does, my data and program gets deleted forever... I think." The god lets out a chuckle once more, but the two of us give him a concerned and worried look.
" Is... Is there a way to save you?" Monika asks the god, who shakes his head side to side.
" No, I tried a long time ago. Anyway, that's not what I wanted to talk about!" He shows the game files on his command console.
" Look, I know it's a little late to tell you guys, but I made this reality by using Yoku's reality as a template. I took out some unwanted elements from his world that would hinder his progress with the girls." Akami-sama pause for a moment to catch his breath.
" That would mean Yoku has no real family here or any events from his old life did not happen here. I made it so that only you and Monika are the only ones who know about the old reality. The memories that the girls have from the past are not really fake, but rather altered memories." The god explained as he went trough the files of the girls.
" Yoku, look, I replaced an old file in this world. I think it was the main character's, I'm not really sure, but whatever the case, I replaced him with you. I took him out of the memories of any person here with a connection to him and placed you in his place." We look at the god in shock.
" I... see. Anyway, what did you wanted to say to us?" I ask the god curiously. What is so important that this being had to tell us right now?
" I was looking at the paperwork earlier and saw that I was technically your legal guardian. It made me think about how could I help you after I die? Well, the answer is simple! You will inherit 10 million dollars from me to fund your education in this world!" Monika and I look at each other in frustration. I could feel a blood vessel in my head explode.
" You... could have told us that tomorrow. What the hell man?! Your death won't come until Sunday, so why the hell do you have to tell me this on Tuesday?! What is your reason to disturb us?!" I angrily snap at him. He laughs at my expression.
" Because I don't want to have grandkids yet! Now, if you excuse me, I have some paperwork to do. Oh, and take this!" Before he enters a portal, he throws out a pack of condoms before winking at us before disappearing.
" Yoku, are you... still in the mood to cuddle?" Monika tugs at my shirt. I turn around to see that her face is red due to embarrassment. I smile and pat her head.
" Sure! Let's just cuddle for the night. That damn god might be watching us." I settle into bed and pull Monika closer to me. She wraps ourselves in a blanket and snuggles her head unto my chest.
" You know, we're so lucky Akami-sama is a nice person. I wonder why he would sacrifice his life for another person's wish." Monika sleepily blurts out those words before closing her eyes. But the question stuck with me, what is this god's motive? I look at the time and saw it was already 10 in the evening. I wrap my right arm around Monika's shoulder before dozing off.
I woke up due to my stupid alarm clock falling on my face. Monika sits up and looks around the room to see what happened. Her gaze turned to my swollen nose and rectangular red mark on my face. We both laugh at this misfortune of mine before starting the morning routine we have. I cook breakfast for four people, Monika and I chat about romantic or interesting topics as we eat said breakfast. Monika goes home to take a bathe and change into her uniform and I do the same, and finally, I pack up the breakfast I made and go to Sayori's house. This routine may sound boring, but spending quality time with the girl I love is actually a nice start of the day.
I walk up to Sayori's house and knock. The door flew open to see a tired and sleepy Sayori. I look behind her and saw that Natsuki was lying on the sofa with her legs outstretched and a manga on her face as she slept along with empty wrappers around her. Sayori might have worn her uniform already, but it's way messier today. I ask her what the hell did she and Natsuki do all night. She grin as she recall the events of last night.
" We watched anime, read manga and ate lots of sweets. Ehehe~ I think we only got 4 hours of sleep." She chuckle as she stumble out the door.
" Sayori, are you sure you can go to school? You don't seem to be in good shape." I ask her with genuine concern for the poor girl. She turns around and smiles at me.
" I'll be fiiiiine~ Now, just leave Natsuki's breakfast inside the house." Sayori stammer out sleepily. I sigh and place the container on the coffee table before leaving for school.
" Who the hell had the idea to go watch anime the entire night?" I ask Sayori, who surprisingly, now looks as energetic as usual.
" Akami-sensei! He stayed for a few more hours before leaving around 9:00 pm." I sigh as Sayori merrily walks beside me. That damn god has no idea how to handle children.
We continue to walk to school, happily talking about the different animes they marathoned. I didn't really have the guts to scold her so I let it go this one time. I smile as she told me how much fun Natsuki was having. At least that girl can now enjoy her favorite past time. We reach the school and immediately head towards the club room. We enter the door to see Monika setting up some freshly baked cupcakes that look like Natsuki's.
" Hey, Yoku! I made all of these cupcakes for the club! Do you like them?" She winks at me, telling me that this are just coded cupcakes. I took a bite out of one and thought that it was the sams as Natsuki's! I give her a thumbs up to signal to her that the cupcakes taste good. She nods and continues to do her task. Sayori went to the vemding machine to buy snacks while Yuri went to the girl's comfort room.
I took a pamphlet and proceed to read my poem. Geez, this is gonna be a long day once again! I practiced my poem, memorizing each line word for word. When everyone went back to the club room, Monika informed us that our schedule has been moved earlier. I groan at this sudden announcement, but before I could complain about it, a girl with red hair and glasses enter the classroom.
" Uhm... I-Is this, the Literature Club?" The girl ask with a curious yet shy tone.
" Yes! But... the event us'"
" Oh, I'm not here for the event." The girl cut Monika off and took out a red heart shaped letter.
" I... I have a favor to ask you guys."
