Story Start!
It was a nice house.
"Your friend is just renting this out to us!?" Natsuki shook Naruto's shoulder as she looked at the small home that was being rented out to them. It was hard to believe that the house they would love in would cost them less than the medium sized apartment they had been staying in before. Even from the outside, you could see that it could easily fit a family of 5 in it. They would have 9 people, 1 boy and 8 girls, living in it so it would be a tighter fit, but much more doable than before.
"His family has good taste, has he been taking care of the yard himself... this feels very Japanese." Misa rubbed her chin, impressed by the traditional Japanese vibes the house had. It was a mix of modern and traditional, it was much more modern than Naruto's original house was, which was mostly traditional, and it was more traditional than the apartment, which was fully modern.
"First come, first serve for bedrooms!"
"It's a 4 bedroom house, so we're still going to have people share bedrooms!" Naruto called out right as Kururi ran towards the house and grabbed the door handle... only for it to not budge in the slightest at her touch. Naruto reached into his pocket and pulled out the key, before tossing it to Ichika as she passed by him to unlock the door. Naruto looked at the unkempt lawn, it would need to be cut.
The last time had to be a month or two ago.
"Why doesn't he want it?" Futaba stood next to Naruto with her box of packed belongings.
"I mean, his family was killed here. He doesn't have the will to sell it, but he can't force himself to live here. His wife is a doctor, and he just got a job in Tokyo as a police officer. They own a home in Tokyo now, so no point living here anyway." Naruto could list off the reasons. His friend was doing him a favor by not charging him a lot to rent this place, and was doing an even bigger favor by not asking a lot of questions about why Naruto was moving into his family home with 8 girls.
Naruto implied that the girls were in a threat of danger from similar people who wanted him dead, which wasn't a complete lie, but it was good that he didn't say the lie out loud, and just implied it.
"Ooooooh, a doctor, and a police officer. You've got friends in high places. Well, I better get moving, other the best rooms will be taken." Futaba entered the house behind Itsuyo and Mutsumi, and she was replaced by Natsuki standing next to him. Shino was standing behind all of them, watching as her sisters entered the house. Behind her was the driver who would be taking her away to live with her future lover. She wasn't going to be entering the house with them, but she wanted to see them off.
Goodbyes had already been said, and as long as they all survived the war, then it wouldn't be a true goodbye.
Naruto shoved Natsuki forward to join the rest of the sisters.
He looked back at Shino, and all he did was send her a thumbs up. She smiled at him, and got back into the taxi, before she waved at him. They ended their lover relationship on a good note, with neither of them having real hard feelings about it. As she was driven off, Natsuki looked back at her with waved, before entering the house. Naruto was the final one to enter.
...
"This house is so dusty." Naruto covered his mouth.
Seriously dude, clean the inside of the house too, don't just take care of the lawn every once and awhile. It looked like there was about 15 years of dust built up in the house. Naruto flipped the light switch on, and it did turn on, which was a positive. He walked through the house, and he did not take his shoes off with just how dusty the floors were. Even if it was hard for him to enter the house, his friend should have still kept it clean out of respect for his family.
"Nice kitchen... a gas stove, I like these better than electric." Futaba was in the kitchen, testing to see if everything worked. It had plates and cookware in the kitchen already, so they wouldn't need to buy anything there. She even turned on the microwave to test out if it worked, and clapped her hands when it did. "... everything works! That's good."
'Who is she talking... is she talking to me?' Naruto wondered, passing the kitchen and going into the living room. Nobody was in the living room, but he heard Misa and Ichika nearby, and went to where their voices were.
"Can you believe it... Shino just... we have a perfectly good lover, and she..."
"I mean, she tried to make it work. Love is a Maiden's power, and she already loved another person. It must have been really hard for her." Misa didn't agree with Ichika. Naruto saw them testing out if the bathroom worked. They were having their own conversation on the matter, because Ichika was a little sour.
"Naruto is an amazing lover though. I just don't understand why she would want to switch, and leave the rest of us behind." Ichika lamented as she filled the bathtub with water and ran her hand through it. Naruto listened to them talk from outside of the changing room. It might get pretty awkward if he joined in, even if it was in support of Shino's choice.
Ichika was upset not with that Shino changed lovers, but with the fact that she left the group to go live with her new lover. Well, maybe she was also upset about the changed lover situation, and that made Naruto blush a little.
'Ichika has a really good opinion of me... makes me feel warm and fuzzy.' Naruto's hand went to his gut as he got butterflies. It was hard NOT to feel excited when you recieved praise behind your back. Mutsumi passed him in the hallway with Yakumo, who entered a bedroom together. He followed them and watched Yakumo look at what was a child's bedroom. For a child's bedroom, it was pretty big. She wasn't interested though and walked to the bedroom across the hallway.
Naruto entered his friend's childhood bedroom and lifted a dinosaur toy off the ground, and chuckled to himself. It was dusty in this room too. He was alone with Mutsumi for a moment, and she blushed and squirmed, not knowing what she wanted to say. Their one on one was stopped when Itsuyo entered the room.
"Nice room. It has a western bed... Futaba, Kururi can stay in this room with you!" Itsuyo called out across the house.
"Okay~!"
"Gotcha!"
Futaba and Kururi could be heard shouting from different parts of the house. Itsuyo walked towards Naruto, and rubbed her finger against his chest.
"... and you and I should take a room together. Just. The. Two. Of. Us." Itsuyo tried to be seductive, and she was very successful, were it not for the fact that her black hair was covered in dust, and caused Naruto to sneeze when she leaned in close. A sneeze was the quickest way to take a sexy mood and bring it back down to normal. Kururi joined them in the room, and walked around it.
"Pretty sure you'll be rooming with Natsuki and Mutsumi." Naruto mentioned as he left the room, and he entered the other bedroom. They were triplets, so them staying in a room together was almost a given. "Also, as part of the plan, every night a different girl will stay with me. Every night we will be doing the Sleep Naked with Lover Val Love to try and passively level up." Naruto had included that into the plan.
With 8 girls, and 52 weeks in a year, this should be a good boost to levels at the start, but as time goes on as the Val Love becomes level exciting and becomes more normal, the experience points will drop down. Still, some passive experience points is better than none at all. They had about a year and a half.
The ideal outcome was to get at least 30 levels out of that before the experience points gained from it stopped leveling them up.
"How does that add up?" Kururi asked.
"Well, you'll be sharing your turn with the other girls. Every week you'll be sharing your turn with a different sister." Naruto wanted to keep Kururi as an element of embarrassment, to add to the excitement. It would be pretty awkward to get excited with her in the futon with them, naked or not naked. On nights Kururi joined somebody, he expected that levels would go up faster.
Kururi did not seem to mind at all.
"Okay~!"
"Well, I guess I'll room with Futaba and Kururi." Misa had left the bathroom and joined them.
"Which leaves me with Ichika." Yakumo passed by them in the hallway and entered the room she would be sharing with the eldest sister 5 nights of the week. She did the math in her head. One night a week she would be with Naruto, and the other night Ichika would be with him. That meant that she would get a room to herself once a week.
Ichika's ears were burning, because she followed behind.
"So, who is first to stay the night with you, my beloved lover?" Ichika smacked Naruto on the back.
"We'll go oldest to youngest, Sunday to Saturday... starting next week, because we're going to be doing a deep clean of this house. Okay, meeting in the living room everyone!" Naruto called out loud enough for everyone in the house to hear him.
-Meeting Time-
"Here is how Val Loves are going to go. Everyday, we'll pull names out from-" Naruto started as he placed a bowl onto the coffee table in the living room. "-the bowl, and at the end of the week everyone's names will go back into bowl. After your name is drawn, you can pick which Val Love you want to do that day. This way everyone gets to do 2 Val Loves a week, and it stays fair." Naruto explained.
1 Active Val Love
1 Passive Val Love
"There are 8 of us."
"Obviously, when Kururi's name gets drawn, another girl will get drawn with her. She's the youngest, so a little help with Val Loves is kind of needed." Naruto explained as he picked Kururi up by her armpits and showed the grinning child off. She was literally a child, and though she was selected as his lover, the fact remained that a lot of Val Loves couldn't be done with her.
Well, they COULD be done, but they wouldn't be exciting or heart pounding.
He could do a "Massage Breast for 15 minutes" with her, but he wouldn't feel any excitement and she was too young to really care about it. She didn't arouse him with her undeveloped body, not "Underdeveloped", but completely undeveloped. It was just a fact that he could take a bath naked with her, and nothing would be weird or sexy about it. Any Val Love with her, needed to take into account that she was a child and be done with that in mind. They needed to be stuff that would get her to love him more, and unlike the older women who would find arousing situations more bonding, just something fun with Kururi needed to be done.
"Yeah, I can agree there." Futaba nodded her head. "... so... this should really boost our levels in the beginning. I think by this time next year, most of us will be higher than level 50. I only leveled up once with the cooking Val Love." Futaba's level had increased, but that was because she loved to cook for her sisters and lover. Having Naruto join her for that specific Val Love had been very exciting and fun for her.
Taking any failed Val Loves into account, 50 to 60 by this time next year would be great, and by time most of them would be ready to handle the high level Val Loves. They would be at a point that the more tame stuff wouldn't cut it.
Level 100 in 18 months was possible.
They had a lover who was willing to put in the work after all.
They needed to match his effort.
