"Oh, Uzumaki-sama... how bold... where is the excitement!?"

"Oh, sorry Itsuyo... it's just... even though you're naked... I'm still kind of dizzy from bloodloss, so I'm not really easy to excite right now." Naruto had changed the bandages on his arm after stitching up the wound and disinfecting it. He looked like he was back to normal, but the fact was that he was still low on blood and his body didn't want to react very much.

Itsuyo was covering her body with a thin blanket, which did little to hide the shape and size of her nipples.

Naruto, just not caring if his dick was visible at the moment, was just sitting on top of the futon and waving a hand for her to join him. The more heart pounding a Val Love was, the more effective it would be in raising a girl's level.

EXP gained from "Dates" was interesting.

(Difficulty + (Time x Emotion)) x Affection = Experience Gained

The Affection multiplier was the most important part to a Val Love, which was why girls like Ichika and Natsuki leveled up quickly, while others leveled up more slowly. If a girl just wasn't that into you, then the levels gained from even difficult or high exp activities would just get nerfed.

Feel Chest for 30 seconds.

It was emotionally difficult for a girl to just let a guy feel her up, so it was on the higher end of the spectrum for difficulty. That would put it at around 50 exp worth, which plugged into the equation was a good starting point. Then you took the 30 seconds part, and you added emotion into it. 30 seconds wasn't a huge amount of time, so it was only about 1 exp for every 10 seconds. If emotions were running high, then you put 5 into the equation, if low, then 1... and anywhere in between.

Finally, the Affection boost.

For Ichika, it would be somewhere in a multiplier of 5 to 10 times.
For Shino, it would be at around 0.5 to 1 times.

Thus, you get (50 + (3 x 5)) x 10 for Ichika.
Then, you also get (50 + (3 x 5)) x 0.5 for Shino.

So, even if Ichika and Shino did the same Val Love, Ichika would get 650 exp for the Val Love, while Shino would get 32.5 if accounting for the same levels of excitement. An incomplete Val Love would result in no exp awarded at all, and thus no levels gained.

"So... come on, lets get to bed... I'm exhausted." Naruto yawned as he invited the young woman to share his futon with him. She blushed, and did scoot closer to him. Him being so casual about it made her heart waver slightly, and his confidence in himself in not bothering to hide anything was certainly not helping her.

-In the Kitchen-

"Think Itsuyo will manage to complete this one?" Futaba questioned her younger sister Misa, the two of them just in the kitchen, doing mostly nothing. Everyone else was either asleep already, or they were Ichika and doing a patrol around town to see if any unexpected demons would show up. At the moment, the only ones awake were the 2nd and 3rd oldest of the sisters.

"She'll do fine as long as she doesn't get greedy, and try to ruin it... but then again, Naruto was willing to have his fingers dislocated by Ichika... so... even if Itsuyo messes up, the worst that will happen is less exp." Misa didn't see how Itsuyo could fail this one.

-Back in the Bedroom-

"... Wanna do another Val Love to pass the time... like... maybe Stare into Lover's eyes for 5 minutes... or how about... 5 minute massage, or 1 minute embrace-" Itsuyo stopped when Naruto reached out.

He just placed his hand on top of her head.

She paused, stopped completely, as she felt the hand on top of her head. She looked at Naruto with her face growing more and more flustered.

"Schwertleite... your heart isn't in this, is it?"

"Eh?" Itsuyo was shocked when Naruto used her real name, instead of her casual name. He had been laying down, but he sat back up and looked at her with eyes filled with an emotion she was never going to expect.

It was understanding.

"You wish you were cuddling with somebody else. It's okay... I know you're only my lover because your father told you to do this." Naruto spoke gently to her. Itsuyo's eyes spoke different than her actions. He saw a lack of real enthusiasm behind what she did. He also wasn't a fool, even if he could be stupid at times.

The 9 sisters.

Yes, Natsuki chose him, but he was one of the approved lovers that Odin had selected for the sisters. The simple fact was that this arrangement was closer to forced dating than it was to true love, or even love grown from bonding.

"... Of course I'm into..." Itsuyo felt his warm hand still rubbing her head.

"If you ever find the man you really love, then I support you abandoning me for him Itsuyo. You deserve to be happy, and I want us to work out as lovers... but if your heart isn't in it... well don't worry about it." Naruto assured her.

He spoke the truth.

Just like how he knew Shino was in love with somebody else, and he was willing to let her go be with the one she loved, the same applied to all of the girls. If any of them found the man they loved before they fell for him, then he would ask that they be with that man instead. He couldn't in good faith force a woman to love him, when she had somebody else in her heart. That was the emotional side of it.

The practical side was simple.

If they didn't love him, then by the time the world was in danger, they would be too low level to be useful. That meant that they were better suited leveling up with another man, simply out of utility.

Itsuyo reached up and rubbed the top of her own head with a blush.

She laid down on top of Naruto and nuzzled her face into his neck to hide her blush.

She didn't say another word the rest of the night.

-The Next Morning-

"Holy CRAP Itsuyo, this level up is amazing! You shot up to level 21!" Misa shouted in shock when she looked at the levels of all the sisters, and she noticed that Itsuyo had shot up OVER 10 levels overnight from the Val Love.

Ichika: 13 to 16
Futaba: 6
Misa: 7
Shino: 2
Itsuyo: 8 to 21
Mutsumi: 5
Natsuki: 15
Yakumo: 6 to 9
Kururi: 10

Itsuyo had jumped up by 13 levels, which was a HUGE jump for somebody who had such a low affection multiplier for their levels. Even if the Val Love was an all nighter, she should have only jumped up by 2, maybe 4 levels at the most.

"That's my sister for you, she realized how good our lover is!" Ichika bragged as she sat next to Naruto.

It was breakfast time.

'... It's not my fault... it's his fault... he's too damn charming. He reminded me too much of father, and now... I want him to pat my head again.' Itsuyo blushed and looked away from Naruto. She refused to make eye contact with any of her sisters either. Her level jump revealed her feelings to everyone who knew her, and her disinterest in men who weren't her father.

"Grrrrrr... I don't want to lose, but I have to admit... that was a good jump in levels." Natsuki was both proud and frustrated by the development.

"What changed?"

"Pass the salt."

"Here... and I have no clue." Naruto cluelessly stated as he passed the salt to Kururi, who was sitting... in his lap at the moment, but the salt was too far for her to reach. Itsuyo had gone super silent during the night, so he didn't know what happened, or what he did that caused her to level up so much.

When he woke up, she was already getting dressed.

"That's my lover for you! A real man, he can seduce any of my beloved little sisters with ease!" Ichika praised Naruto as she slapped his back.

"Ow."

Sometimes Ichika forgot that even in her Level 1 Untransformed state, she was still stronger than a human was. Unlike some of the other sisters who were at human girl levels of strength when they weren't transformed, Ichika was very much a physical monster when compared to regular people. Futaba wasn't far behind her in that category.

The sisters started to discuss who was next.

'I shouldn't put off talking to Shino... but it isn't exactly an easy thing to talk about.' Naruto was in his own thoughts while the sisters had their multiple conversations with each other. "Oh... I'll be right back." Naruto took Kururi out of his lap and put her in his seat as he stood up. He quickly turned his back to the table before anyone could notice something.

Random boner.

Non-Sexual Boner, he hated them.

'Hope none of them noticed... damn... I healed from the bloodloss fast... damn random boner.' Naruto sometimes hated how he could just get a boner at the weirdest times, without there being any sexual at all about the situation itself. He did NOT want to be labeled a pervert, he was a pervert, because of a random erection.

If he was to be labeled a pervert, it damn well better be for something actually perverted.
