Interlude: Date (I)
Leo, as usual, woke up surrounded in the warmth of his lovers Eri and Remia. Eri decided to change the rules a bit. Every night he will only stay with only one of his lovers, though in the end, someone ends up barging in the room like Remia here.
Eri and others worried about his health which they had no reason to do so. In the end, he agreed or he might become the incarnation of lust if he kept having sex with all of his lovers every day.
Today just so happened to be Sunday, wildcard day. A random draw to decide who he'll spend his entire day with. No one is allowed to interrupt in their time alone. If they did, their day would be cancelled or so they made it out to be.
The winner this time was Yue. Her smug smile brought out a blank stare from everyone but the winner was absolute. No crying or fighting will change it.
He felt a bit guilty when he saw her so happy about spending some alone time with him. Before Myu could arrive he sneaked out to the bath and put on a simple outfit consisting of a grey full-sleeved shirt and black pants.
He opened the door and nearly took a step back in surprise. Standing in front of him was Yue, dressed in a frilly shirt and a miniskirt with knee high socks. The outfit looked a bit tighter on her as she grew up at a rather amazing speed. Now, she could easily pass as a fourteen-year-old.
"Leo?" Yue asked, seeing his dazed state.
"Nothing, let's go and enjoy ourselves."
He grasped her little hand and led her out of the room to the door of the house.
"Go and have fun out there!"
"Be careful and note it down if someone tries to mess with you. My hands are itching to break some balls."
"Ufufu, don't worry about us and focus on Yue-chan~"
"Goshujin-sama! This one awaits the day when Goshujin-sama will give a date full of love and punishment."
He found the girls smiling near the gate. He couldn't help but smile warmly. Though Tio's words creeped him out a bit, he will make sure to give her a date without any punishment.
Eri waved her hand with a smile. "Get out of here, you harem protagonist. Don't raise some flags out there now."
He tilted his head in confusion. Protagonist? Flags? What was she talking about?
Eri shook her head. "Fufu, I'll be sure to create an otaku out of you when we return."
He ignored her ominous sounding words and looked at Hearst smiling softly.
"...We might not be coming today," Yue said from his side. "Leo is all mine for today."
It took a moment for him to understand her words, she wanted them to stay at an inn.
"Well, we are off and apologize to Myu in my stead."
He dashed out of the door, dragging along a smug Yue.
Irene burst into laughter. "He really looks cute when he gets shy. Though he never tends to show it."
"Ufufu, Dear is really cute sometimes. But he is really a beast when it comes to bed."
Irene clicked her tongue, she ruined her golden opportunity. But she still got to confirm he wasn't just after her body.
"I'm really thankful to Yue and Shea for this. They both accomplished what I couldn't for years…"
Shea shook her head. "That's not true. It's because of Leo-san's desire to meet Eri-san that we could meet each other."
"Mm. I'm going to hunt some monsters and collect mana crystals for Master," Hearst said and exited the door.
"Tio-san, though I find your perversion a bit disgusting, I'm sure you can do it," Shea patted Tio's shoulders and headed to do some exercises.
Eri noticed Tio's pleading eyes and smiled in amusement. "Do you think I'll let any random woman stay near Leo for so long?"
Tio couldn't stop the smile from appearing on her face, she pulled Eri's face into her breasts. "This one is truly fortunate to find such a supportive mistress. Leave the rest to us, lately, Goshujin-sama has been secretly eying this one's body. On the final date, this one will perform the final attack."
Eri's cheeks twitched in irritation, she brought both her hands and groped the melons suffocating her.
"Mhn~ Mistress Eri, please no!"
Even though she said that her hands, instead of leaving Eri hugged tighter.
Eri, finally having enough, used her superhuman strength to break free and walked toward her room.
Tio stared at Remia, the only woman left. She felt a strange rivalry with her. Maybe it was because they both had the most mature bodies amongst others.
"Ara? Tio-san needs something from me?"
Tio shook her head and showed a friendly smile. "Nothing, can thou tell this one about thy experience with Goshujin-sama? How did thou enter the inner circle?"
Remia covered her face and giggled. "Looks like Tio-san doesn't have any experience with men. How about I teach you some things?"
Tio nodded hurriedly, thinking it might be a good opportunity to make another friend. Little did others know Remia's teachings eventually gave birth to the most formidable opponenet.
Meanwhile, Leo stopped near the ocean. "Where does my Vampire princess want to go?"
"...Verbergen."
The name made him feel like he was missing something. He threw the thought out of his mind and looked at Yue. "Sure, then off we go."
He created a gate and stepped inside with Yue. Coming out of the gate, they once again admired the entrance of Verbergen until beastmen started screaming incomprehensible things.
"Saviour-dono is here!"
"Call the grandpas! No, go and call the Elders!"
"Where the fuck is everyone!? Prepare for an entrance!"
"Send a notice to the glorious Haulias!"
The last one really made him palm his face. Those haulias and glorious? Even jokes should have limits.
"Yue, I think we came at the wrong time. Don't you agree?"
"...Nn. Haulias returned without help and became heroes… after freeing the slaves."
"That's what I think too, but this saviour thing is creeping me out. What should we do?"
"Let's retu—" she shut her mouth when the large door in front opened. The spectacle inside really dumbfounded her.
Leo wasn't any better. The sight of thousands of beastmen bowing deeply wasn't something he witnessed every day. Even the Elders, including the bear beastman he crippled before, were here bowing so deep that their legs might be hurting.
"Now the oldies are here, it'd be rude to go like this..."
"...Nn. We should take a look."
"You guys can stop! Who even told you to greet me like this?"
The numerous beastmen stopped bowing and sighed out of relief. The seven elders came forward to greet,
"Welcome to Verbergen for the second time. Do you need some help?" Ulfric asked politely, a warm smile fixed on his face.
"Ara, I never thought the young man before would end up saving the entire race of beastmen from slavery. Ask me if you need anything~"
Leo's lips twitched, this harpy hag was trying to seduce him in front of others. "Please go on to your work, I just want a peaceful date with Yue."
"...Nn. Go away, bird brain."
This time it was Mao's turn to be annoyed, she shut her mouth and walked away followed by other Elders.
Under the revering looks of beastmen, the couple stepped foot in Verbergen. It really was a mistake coming here, he thought.
'Looks like I said something I shouldn't have…' he thought as he stared at the group, no, army of rabbitmen running in his direction. They increased their number to more than three hundred in the time he left them at Empire.
"Leo-sama!!!"
Unable to think of anything, he grabbed Yue's hand and teleported away. The scary smiles of Haulia women honestly scared him.
"Why did Leo-sama run from us?" the woman asked each other before releasing a sigh.
***
Leo found himself on the streets of Heiligh Kingdom. Right when he was reliving his nostalgia, a line of caravans passed by.
He focused his senses and showed a helpless frown.
'Why are Shizuku, princess Liliana, and maid Helina talking about me? And Shizuku, aren't you supposed to hate me for that teddy? … … My goodness. What am I to do here? Ignore… yes, as Irene said I should ignore…'
"...Leo? Did something happen?" Yue asked.
"...Yes, I'll talk about it later. We haven't done anything yet," he said and stroked her hair for a while.
The people on the streets eyed the couple enviously. While every couple on the street looked at them in admiration.
