Part 1:
Love was in the air in landsol as many in the town were getting ready for Valentine's Day. This included Pecorine and surprisingly even kyaru, though she didn't show it on the outside.
"Ugh, Valentine's Day is a week away and I still haven't asked yuuki to go on a date with me."
"Kyaru? Kyaru?"
"Hmm?"
Kyaru looked up to see a concerned pecorine. The two were eating at a restaurant near the house after a busy day out.
"You look troubled."
"It's nothing…" kyaru said, trying to eat the plate of food in front of her.
"Come on kyaru, you can tell me." Pecorine said. Deep down, kyaru wanted to, but couldn't. She couldn't bring herself to tell pecorine that she was trying and struggling to ask Yuuki out. She wasn't the only one though.
"Oh, hello pecorine and kyaru."
"Oh Yui, what are doing here?" Pecorine said.
"T-this is kind of embarrassing but I was wondering if you could help me." Yui said, wiggling around nervously.
"Sure, what can I help you with?"
"Well…you see…valentines day is coming up and I wanted to ask y-yu"
"Yuuki?" Kyaru said, finishing yui's sentence.
"Well…if it's not too much trouble…"
"I'm sorry to say but I yuuki and I have a da-I mean mission on that day."
"Kyaru? Did you say you had a date with yuuki?"
"WHAT? No…there's no way I'd date him…"
Kyaru insisted it wasn't true, but it wasn't in a very convincing fashion. Both pecorine and Yui saw through.
"So…you have a crush on Yuuki too?"
Kyaru couldn't even pull her tsundere act, as her face was bright red, and her heart was pounding.
"Oh great…now those two know I have a crush on Yuuki…Damn you yuuki, what have you done to me?!"
"I see, so we all have a crust on Yuuki." Pecorine said quietly.
"Wait, did you say all 3?" Kyaru said in a surprised tone.
"Yep." Pecorine said with a smile, blurting out her feelings with no trouble.
"That's why I've got an idea. Why don't we all date Yuuki on Valentine's Day."
"At once?" Yui asked, her face still red.
"No, we'll take turns. Yui will have yuuki in the morning, then kyaru will have him in the afternoon, then I'll have him in the evening."
"So we'll be taking turns with him then?"
Pecorine nodded.
"I'll admit, there's a part of me that wants him to be my one and only knight, but I understand that many girls in landsol care about him. So instead of turning it into one big battle Royal, let's just take turns dating him today."
As dumb as her plan sounded, the girls couldn't help but agree to it. Why have a battle Royal to date yuuki when they could take turns?
"Alright, I'll go first." Yui said.
"Great! Then I'll go next and kyaru will have him last." Pecorine said with a smile.
"I really hope this works out…" kyaru thought to herself. "I hate the idea of sharing yuuki on Valentine's Day, but…Ugh, why do you have to be so complicated Yuuki?!"
Part 2:
Yui was up first to date Yuuki, but was extremely nervous. What could they do? Where could they go? And more importantly, how was she going to ask Yuuki in the first place? All these questions were floating around her mind when she saw Yuuki walk by.
"There he is…but how do I approach him?"
Yuuki didn't need to worry about approaching Yuuki first, as Yuuki spotted the girl and waved.
"Yuuki." Yui said, walking over to him slowly.
"Happy Valentine's day Yui." Yuuki said.
"Thank you ."
"Do you have any plans for today?"
Yui got quiet at this part, and her face began to get red.
"Come on Yui, you can do this…" she thought to herself.
"Yui? Are you alright?"
"Yuuki…I want to go on a date with you." she said, her face still red.
Yuuki was surprised to hear this from the somewhat shy girl, and even a bit nervous himself. With everything that had happened with Kyaru, was it OK to do?
He didn't want to upset Kyaru, but also didn't want Yui to get upset either, as he knew saying no to her wouldn't end well, not to mention he'd have to answer to Makoto for doing so.
"Kyaru, I'm sorry, but I can't upset Yui, not after everything she's done for me."
Yuuki nodded and patted the girl on her head.
"Sure. Where are we gonna go?"
"Why don't we head to the outskirts. Not too far out where the monsters are, but just enough to where there's no people around."
Yuuki gave Yui a thumbs up, and the two headed out of town. Little did Yuuki know that Pecorine and Kyaru were watching the two from a distance.
"Wow, she actually managed to ask Yuuki out on a date." Kyaru said.
"We should be proud of her. I know how shy Yui-san can be. This is quite the stepping stone for her."
"Which is why it's gonna suck if she doesn't choose him…" Kyaru thought to herself.
Part 3:
Yuuki and Yui were sitting under a tree. Though not k-i-s-s-i-n-g ing, they were relaxing, with Yuuki laying on his back looking up at the leaves of the tree, and Yui laying right next to him. Was it much? No. But Yui was enjoying every second of it.
"I wish I could do this more often." Yuuki said. "As much as I like to help out people, I always look for chances in the day to try and relax a bit, just like this."
"Well, if it makes you feel better a lot of people in Landsol appreciate your help." Yui said. "You've helped so many people out, including me, Rei, and Hiyori."
"Yeah." Yuuki said.
Yui was enjoying the moment with Yuuki , but wanted to get closer to him, in terms of touching. She slowly moved herself over to Yuuki and grabbed his arm, laying her head on it.
"I hope you don't mind ." she said, her face getting red.
"Here Yui, why don't you lay on my chest?"
"You're…chest?"
"I'm sorry, that was a weird request wasn't it?"
"No, no…it's alright." Yui said, slowly rolling herself onto Yui's chest. The two were now lying under the tree together, with Yui's head on Yuuki's chest, listening to his heart beat.
" heart beat…" Yui thought to herself. "Hearing it…is so relaxing…and then to add to that I'm also lying with him. Oh…why couldn't I muster up the courage to do this with him sooner?"
Yui slowly wrapped her arms around Yuuki, embracing him. She felt her own heartbeat start to move faster as she became a bit more daring in her approach to cuddling with Yuuki. This touching moment however was interrupted by someone both Yui and Yuuki didn't want to see.
"Darling?"
Yuuki quickly lifted his head up to see Eriko, standing there before Yuuki and Yui with a box of chocolates in one hand, and her infamous ax in the other.
"I was going to give you this box of chocolate darling…I spent all night making it just for you…"
"Really? I-I-I a-appeciate that Eriko, really I do."
"First things first, I just need to get rid of that disgusting little girl who is with you."
Before Yui knew it, Yuuki had lifted her up in his arms and was carrying her like a princess. He quickly sprinted away from the area while Eriko was in hot pursuit.
"First I lay on his chest, now he's carrying me like a princess! What a date with ." Yui thought to herself.
Part 4:
"Darling? Where are you?"
Yuuki and Yui were hiding in some bushes, hoping to not be seen by the dangerous Eriko, still carrying around her box of chocolates and the ax she used to defeat many opponents before.
As Yui and Yuuki were hiding, Yui looked up at a clock to see that it was 2 minutes until 12pm. Her date with Yuuki was just about to be over.
"I don't want to end this date…but I promised Pecorine that I would comply with her plan to share Yuuki for the day." she thought to herself. "I'm sorry …next time we meet, I promise I'll continue to be more daring and open to you."
Yui quietly made her way out of the bushes, leaving Yuuki there, carefully looking around for Eriko.
"Well, it looks like the coast is finally clear, Yui. Yui?"
Yuuki turned around to find that Yui was no longer with him. Yuuki made his way out of the bushes and looked around while calling Yui's name. Just then, he heard Pecorine calling his name.
"Yuuki! Yuuki over here!"
Yuuki saw Pecorine standing by a fountain with a box full of chocolates. "
Come here Yuuki, I got a box of chocolates for you!"
Yuuki came over and grabbed the box of chocolates from Pecorine. While he did, he wished Pecorine a happy Valentine's day."
"Aww Yuuki, thank you! Valentine's day is one of my favorites."
"Because of the chocolate candies?"
"Yep." Pecorino said without hesitation.
"This day ties in with our mission at the gourmet guild, to eat tasty food with other people. Of course in this case it's mostly chocolate, but it can be other sweet things as well."
"Yeah." Yuuki said, sitting down to dig into the box of chocolates. Pecorino sat next to him and did the same thing.
The two munched on chocolates quietly while the villagers of Landsol passed by them, most of them couples who were going out on dates.
"Everyone looks so happy to be with the one they love." Yuuki commented.
"Yeah. Say Yuuki, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure?"
"Do you happen to like anyone?"
Yuuki sat there for a minute, trying to think of a good answer to her question. He didn't want to give a "dense harem protagonist" type of answer and say everyone, but that's just who he was. He wanted to spend time with everyone equally, even those who would give him trouble such as Miyako and Kuuka.
If I'm being honest, I'm grateful for everyone in my life. I love spending time with my guild, with you, and with everyone else.
"Aww Yuuki…" pecorine said, patting him on the head. "What a sweet guy you are."
Pecorine wasn't upset by yuuki's question, much to his luck. Especially because it was an honest one. After a moment of silence, Pecorine decided to change the topic and move on by asking Yuuki if she could feed him chocolate.
"Uh…sure." Yuuki said.
"Open wide~" Pecorine said, grabbing a chocolate and placing it towards Yuuki's mouth. Yuuki took a bite out of the chocolate, with some of it getting on his cheek. The chocolate in question was a caramel filled one, with the caramel dripping out of the chocolate after Yuuki bit into it.
"Here, let me get that for you." Pecorine said, taking her finger and getting the caramel that was stuck to Yuuki's face, before putting said finger in her mouth.
"Hmmm, I just love camels and chocolate."
Yuuki couldn't help but blush a bit after that. This cute moment didn't last long however, as once again, one of the girls obsessed with Yuuki had found him.
"Yuuki?! What are you doing with that girl?"
It was Shuzuru, wearing the same baking attire she wore when her and Eriko were in a baking competition for Yuuki's heart.
"Princess Eustiana, I'm gonna have to ask that you step away from my brother! Big sis just spent all day making him chocolate."
"You can call me Pecorine, sheesh, and look, I was just feeding him some chocolate."
"W-w-what? Feeding him chocolate! Only I can do that!" Shizuru said, now even more enraged.
"Shizuru, please calm down. I'm just on a date with Pecorine." As soon as those words slipped out of Yuuki's mouth, he quickly slapped his hand over it.
"Date? What the hell am I thinking?! I mean…we're kind of on a date but not a romantic one! It's just us hanging out eating chocolate."
Meanwhile, Pecorine's face was red, with her feeling all fuzzy inside over what Yuuki said.
"A date! He said we're on a date! I'm sorry Yui and Kyaru, but I can't help but feel excited over this! Oh Yuuki, if only you weren't surrounded by so many women…"
"A date! With someone other than your sister on Valentine's day?!"
It was at that point that Shizuru pulled out her sword.
"I hate to do this to you big bro, but you need to be disciplined for your actions against your big sister. Just know this is going to hurt me more than it's going to hurt you…"
Before things could get violent, Yuuki quickly grabbed Pecorine's arm and started running for it, with Shizuru running behind in pursuit.
"Oni-chan! You can't get away from the long arm of sisterly justice!" Shizuru shouted behind them.
Part 5:
In spite of having to run away from Shizuru, Yuuki and Pecorine still had a good date, with the two finding a nice restaurant to hide out and eat at. As the sun started to set, Pecorine knew that her time with Yuuki was about to end.
"It looks like it's time to hand things over to Kyaru." she thought to herself. "I want to do more with him…but it wouldn't be fair to Kyaru if I went back on my word."
"You OK Pecorine?" Yuuki asked her, noticing that she looked as though she had something on her mind.
"I'm fine, but I just remembered that I have to be somewhere."
"I understand."
"Thank you for today Yuuki, I hope we can spend more time together in the future." Pecorine said. Yuuki gave her his signature thumbs up. Before Pecorine went off, she hugged Yuuki tightly.
"My knight and shining armor…" she thought to herself. It took a lot for her to pry herself off of Yuuki, but she managed and headed off.
"Well, this has been an interesting Valentine's day." Yuuki said to himself. "A little less chaotic than the time Shizuru and Eriko had that competition, I'll say that much."
"Oh, and what was that competition all about?"
Yuuki jumped as he heard a voice come behind him. Said voice belonged to Kyaru, who was standing there with her hands on her hips.
"Uh, hey Kyaru…"
"Don't "Hey Kyaru" me! I just saw you hugging Pecorine just now! What was that all about?"
Yuuki was about to explain himself, but Kyaru stopped him before he could. Not that this mattered as Kyaru was watching what was happening from a distance alongside Yui.
"Listen…I know this is a bit sudden, but I was wondering if you and I could go on a date."
"Sure." Yuuki said.
"Well, that was fast. And without a second thought either…" Kyaru said, surprised by Yuuki's answer, but also worried.
"He said "Yes" pretty quickly. Does that mean that he really is a playboy? Or was he just doing that to not hurt my feelings?"
Before she could get herself worked up, Kyaru grabbed Yuuki's hand and led him out of the town square, in hopes that no one she nor Yuuki knew would spot them. However, this attempt was in vain, as Christina caught a glimpse of the two in the town square.
"My, my, what are those up to?"
Part 6:
Yuuki and Kyaru found themselves outside of Landsol, sitting under a tree as the sun started to set. This was the same tree that Yuuki was at earlier with Yui, but he didn't tell Kyaru that, not wanting to upset her.
"The sunset looks nice huh?" Yuuki said, trying to start a small conversation with Kyaru, who was sitting closely next to Yuuki. Kyaru simply nodded, and though she looked clam on the outside, on the inside she was yelling at herself.
"Come on you dummy! Now's the chance to woo this guy. Or maybe it should be the other way around? Ugh…this dating thing is complicated."
It was at that point that Yuuki let out a yawn. Not wanting to make Kyaru think that he was bored or being rude, Yuuki quickly apologized.
"My apologies. I had a busy day delivering Valentine's cards."
Kyaru knew the truth but didn't call Yuuki out on it. Instead she simply used the fact that Yuuki was tired to her advantage.
"If you want, you can lay on my lap." she said.
"W-what?"
"Don't make me repeat myself idiot…" Kyaru said, now slightly annoyed. Not wanting to upset her any further, Yuuki did just that, laying his head down in Kyaru's lap.
"Ugh…I did it…I got him to lay in my lap…but now what?" I guess I can comb his hair with my hand." Kyaru ran her fingers slowly through Yuuki's hair. While she did that, Yuuki felt his eyes starting to get heavy.
"I don't want to fall asleep on my date with her…but at the same time…"
Yuuki couldn't finish that thought, as he closed his eyes and started to drift off. He was quickly awoken though when Kyaru pushed him off her. The reason being because of Christina, who slowly started to clap as she approached Kyaru.
"My, my, I'm impressed Kyaru. You've opened up your heart to Yuuki."
Kyaru stood up, dusting herself off while furiously asking Christina what she was doing here.
"I just so happen to see you and my fiance walking around town, holding hands with one another."
"Wait…did you say fiance?"
Christina nodded.
"Me and the boy are engaged. Of course, he hasn't given me an answer to whether or not he'll marry me, but I'd like to think the answer would be yes. He seems like the type of guy who's into older women."
"You're wrong Christina!"
Coming forward was Eriko and Shiziru, the duo who had a huge (and scary) crush on Yuuki.
"I'm sort of willing to share little bro with Eriko, but not you!"
"That's correct. Wait…what do you mean sort of?"
As Christina, Eriko, and Shizuru started to argue with one another, Kyaru simply stood back and watched the whole thing unfold.
"Ugh…damn it Yuuki, I want to be with you, but this is why it's so hard. So many women to compete with, and I'm not even sure if you love me back…"
Yuuki suddenly grabbed Kyaru's hand, causing her to let out a yelp. Yuuki put his finger over his lip and motioned for her to start following him. The two were going to carefully make their way out of the situation. At that moment though, Kyaru stood her ground, preventing Yuuki from going any further.
"Kyaru?"
"No…I'm not going to run away."
Kyaru then looked up at Yuuki with a serious face.
"I'll be honest with you. I know that you were dating Pecorine and Yui earlier, and I was in on it. It was Pecorine's idea for us to all take turns dating you for the day instead of turning it into one big battle royale.
"Kyaru…" Yuuki muttered out.
"Having said that, while I'm willing to play nice with the princess and Yui, I draw the line at everyone else!"
Kyaru then turned around to face Christina, Eriko, and Shizuru.
"Hey you clowns!" she shouted to the group of women who were still arguing, getting their attention.
"You wanna know how much I love Yuuki here?"
"Of course! Out of everyone here, I am the most interested to know…" Christina stated.
"I love him this much!"
Kyaru raised her staff and started to form a dark purple energy ball. At first, the ball was the size of a baseball, then it grew to the size of a basketball, then a bowling ball, then a hot air balloon. The energy ball kept growing and growing until it was big enough to be seen from Landsol square.
"Woah…that's a lot of love you have for the boy…" Christina said before Kyaru dropped the energy ball on all 3 women, causing a huge explosion that rocked the very land they were standing on. Yuuki fell over on his bum, knocked over by the huge shockwave caused by Kyaru's ball.
With smoke still in the air, Kyaru grabbed Yuuki's hand tightly and walked with him away from the scene, leaving the 3 girls behind.
Part 7:
"You're a handful, you know that?" Kyaru said to Yuuki as the two were walking to their guildhouse.
"I'm sorry…" Yuuki simply said.
"Well, at least you acknowledge the fact that a ton of women love you, it's certainly a step up from being a dense harem MC."
"Well…I'm at least glad I could make you, Pecorine, and Yui happy today."
"You and your need to make people happy…" Kyaru thought to herself.
As Yuuki opened the door to the guildhouse, he found Kokkoro, Shefi, Eriko, Christina, Yui, and Shizuru all sitting in chairs in a circle formation, with two spots open for Kyaru and Yuuki.
"My lord, these girls have informed me that you've been spending Valentine's day dating multiple women at once. We'd all like to discuss this matter with you immediately!" Kokkoro stated in a stern voice.
Yuuki slowly closed the door and turned to Kyaru.
"I think I'm gonna stay in bed next year for Valentine's day…"
