"I don't like this place."
"I think it is... nice."
"Yeah... it isn't great, but it is in a great location." Naruto deadpanned when he heard complaints. It was actually somewhat easy for him to get a somewhat decent loan, and finding a home that could somewhat work for their needs. He wasn't going to tell any of the girls, but he sold a lot of his own personal belongings in order to afford the down payment for the place. It was already a done deal, and he would put his foot down. "Hey though, 3 bedrooms, a separate toilet and bathroom, and it has a living room, dining room, and kitchen... and... a fourth of an acre of backyard space..." Naruto wasn't liking it the more he said it.
"So, how is the room situation going to work?" Natsuki asked, she already had her clothes and stuff boxed up and was carrying it.
All of them already had their stuff.
The rest was coming in a moving truck, that was on it's way.
"Well, no western style beds for sure, all futons to save space... and I guess it is 3 to a room. Futaba, Yakumo, and Kururi to a room, the triplets to a room, and Shino, Ichika, and Misa to a room." Naruto didn't mention he wasn't going to be getting his own room right off the bat. He just hoped that none of the more empathetic girls would notice that he didn't mention he had a room and call him on it.
Sadly, while some of the girls could be a bit thick-headed, all of them were smart enough to realize the number of rooms didn't match the number of people in the rooms.
"Where will you be sleeping... or are you going to take turns sleeping in all of our rooms?" Yakumo teased him with a saucy smirk.
"I'm going to get a recliner and sleep in the living room, it isn't that big of a deal... there were literally, and I used that word correctly, no places in this area with 4 bedrooms." Naruto wasn't the happiest with the choice, but it would be fine for the moment. He could realistically sleep pretty much anywhere and be comfortable, and since he sold most of his stuff to make the down payment he didn't really have a ton of things to store away anywhere. "Still, we are going to need to clean this place up."
-Later-
"Why was this place so freaking dirty?" Itsuyo complained as she cleaned. Everyone was cleaning, except for Naruto and Futaba who were out shopping for futons and other needed items they would add to the home. At the moment it was somewhat empty, and it needed filling like their bellies would at the end of it all.
Natsuki smiled.
"Whoever does the most cleaning, gets to do the next Val x Love, some of us need to level up more." Natsuki stated as she looked at her Level 1 sister, when she herself was closer to Level 4. She gave off the superior air of somebody who was higher level.
Mutsumi didn't say anything.
Itsuyo on the other hand caught the meaning of what she implied.
"Heh... you're one."
-With the Shopping Team-
"... You know, you don't have to put yourself through so much suffering for us... you can at least afford yourself a little luxury." Futaba brought it up.
Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"I'm not suffering though. I don't need a bedroom to be happy."
"You have no privacy."
"I'm a man in a home with 9 women, I wouldn't have had privacy anyway." Naruto responded with quick wit about him to that. Considering that he was suppose to spend all of his free time going on dates with the girls, he wasn't ever going to have that much private time. At this point it wasn't a matter of him needing personal space, it was just him knowing that even if he had his own bedroom, he wasn't going to be spending much time in it. "Anyway, honestly, it doesn't bother me to sleep in the living room."
Futaba stared at him, before she nodded her head.
"... You know, Yakumo did bring up a valid point... you could join us all in our rooms each night." Futaba stated for his consideration.
"I'm a rough sleeper, so it's better that I don't... don't want to kick anyone. I hope those girls are working on cleaning, and not goofing off right now." Naruto hoped that once he and Futaba were back and ready to get dinner started, that everything would be clean. They already had their arms full of groceries.
...
They walked for awhile before they got back to the house, where a dirty Itsuyo was waiting outside of the home with her gym clothes filthy.
"I won a Val x Love, so mister, lets see what you got in the Val x Love... Wash your Lover's Back!" Itsuyo declared proudly.
"Oh my... that certainly does sound heart-pounding." Futaba put out some surprise at what Naruto had to look forward to. Typically the only girl Naruto took baths with was Kururi, and that was because she was an actual child so she just sometimes joined him without asking. The amount of sexual tension was zero, thanks to Naruto not caring if a child joined him in the bath, and Kururi not caring about tension.
This would be a different matter though.
"Hey! You cheated, and that isn't what the Val x Love was suppose to be! It was suppose to be Doing Laundry Together!" Natsuki rushed out of the house when she overheard Itsuyo lying about which Val x Love they were suppose to be doing.
"We can do both... you got dinner by yourself Futaba?"
"Yessir, I do."
-During the Bath-
'Okay... this is a LOT more intense than I thought it would be.' Itsuyo watched Naruto's back as he took off his shirt. She was undressing slowly behind him, hoping that he would peek at her. He seemed overall fine with keeping his back to her though. She was pretty well endowed among the sisters overall, being close to the same size breast-wise as Ichika, but not close to Futaba or Mutsumi. "You know, you can peek."
"Uh-huh, I figured... going to be hard not to see you naked in the bath." Naruto looked over his shoulder at her. "I'll see you in the bath." Naruto walked into the bath room out of the changing room, leaving her by herself to finish getting nude.
...
'Did... did he just look at me without blushing... like... at all?' Itsuyo was offended at his almost complete lack of reaction to seeing her half-dressed like he just did. She quickly stripped herself and wrapped a towel around herself. She joined in in the bathroom and saw he was sitting on a stool with his back to her.
He was washing his hair.
She got behind him and took to her knee.
"That was quick, guess you're used to this kind of stuff, figured you would take longer."
"I used to wash my..." Itsuyo couldn't see Naruto's expression, but she had the strange feeling that mentioning her father might just be a mood killer. There wasn't too much of a mood to begin with. "... just curious, how often have you bathed with women?" Itsuyo asked, since he seemed a little too used to this.
"Not often." Naruto hoped that she didn't notice how nervous he was.
He was playing up the role of a cool guy who wasn't phased, but it was hard to keep the act up when her nipples were almost visible from the way the towel was wrapped around her. He had seen them when he looked at her earlier. When Kururi joined him in the bath, he never really thought anything about it. He couldn't let her see how flustered her was, not when she was so unphased by it all.
"Oh... you seem pretty used to it." Itsuyo didn't know what to say in this situation.
So she started to wash his back.
-Later-
'I barely even leveled up from that.' Itsuyo was pouting when she tracked her own level, and she had gotten so little experience from that, that she only went up a single level. She walked around the house, and she stopped outside of where the laundry room was.
There they were.
She peeked in and saw Naruto was with Natsuki, and the two of them were sorting all of the laundry from all of the girls.
"Eeep!"
"Heheheh."
'How is she getting him flustered... he saw me naked and was less flustered about it!' Itsuyo couldn't believe that the act of Natsuki taking her panties out of Naruto's hands, and blushing over it was enough to get Naruto to blush. Natsuki was glaring at him with a blush, and he just laughed it off with a blush of his own. 'I was a cool beauty, a woman of class who washed his back without showing any embarassment... why does she get a blush out of him... she's fully dressed right now, and is embarassed he touched her panties... she isn't even wearing them right now!' Itsuyo couldn't believe the weirdness of that standard.
She would need to talk to Misa about this.
Misa was experienced, so she would have the answer for sure.
"Sorry, maybe you should handle all the underwear." Naruto offered to Natsuki.
-Later, After Dinner-
"... Heh... Level 6..." Natsuki bragged to Itsuyo about her Double Level Up from the Val x Love that she did with Naruto, while Itsuyo just gained a single level.
"How did you gain 2 levels from that... you..." Itsuyo didn't know why she was getting so little experience from her back washing, while Natsuki gained 2 levels from something like laundry. What she did was way more humiliating than what Natsuki did, so she should get more romance experience from it.
It was so frustrating to think that she did something so dirty, and she barely gained anything from it at all. She just barely gained a level from her activity, while Natsuki not only got 2 levels, but she was VERY close to Level 7 at the moment.
Even Ichika was getting more experience from her Val x Loves, and she was romantically inept, who barely understood romance. At the rate that she was going, she was going to be left behind by all of her sisters.
-Late that Night-
"Cheers."
"Cheers." Ichika and Futaba both clicked their cups with Naruto. They were just sitting around the dinner table, since the move had gone well. Everything had gone smoother than it should have gone. Naruto was drinking coffee, because he was going to go out in a little bit to visit somebody. He drank his coffee.
"See you all tomorrow, my sister is in town, and I'm going to meet her. She wants to introduce me to her lover... so I'll see you when I get back." Naruto finished his coffee, and like that he was on his way.
"Your sister, can we meet her?"
"... Bad idea, maybe some other time." Naruto deadpanned, since he didn't believe it would be a great idea for his lovers to meet his sister, at all. Not while his sister was still under the delusion that she was some kind of mythical figure.
"Bad idea?"
"Yeah, my sister is kind of delusional... so is the mother who gave birth to me. It's not that big of a deal, but I feel like my sisters or mother meeting real Valkyrie would break them." Naruto laughed as he continued to walk away.
"Oh? Delusional how?"
"My mother calls herself Loki, and she named my older sisters just like that. Verdandi, Urd, and Skuld are my sisters names." Naruto dropped the names of his sisters and his mother. Ichika instantly gagged on her coffee, and Futaba didn't fare much better as she opened her eyes wide when Naruto stated the names of his living family members. "Not that I'm bothered by their names, but I'm still glad my Dad named me." Naruto laughed off his concerns.
He left the two eldest sisters with a hell of a bomb drop when he left the house.
