It's True Love 41 (Patreon)

"You... made a geass with Touko Aozaki and Aoko Aozaki, and then you bet your freedom on it... is that right Yuta? Or am I missing something?" Nope, that's pretty much right, but you don't have to look so pale Senpai.

I smile. "Yeah! Don't worry though, I'm confident in my abilities... Well, tomorrow I'll rush to some stores early in the morning and buy some fancy clothing. I might be a bit late for class because of that." At least money won't be an issue, thanks for dying, Vlov.

Still, if I do wanna go to some fancy places, I need clothing to match them. Right now, all I've got is casual stuff I bought in a hurry after the fire took my house. By the way, just to be safe I told Aoko and Touko to prepare themselves for something more casual in the first day.

I have a feeling that I gained some points with Sensei, but lost some with Touko. But it can't be helped, I need some time to prepare myself for the places she likes, for example I need to make reservations. Also, I need to bribe them into allowing Sensei's entrance, she's a criminal after all.

Ciel's eye twitches. "When Rika started telling a story about how you had sold your soul to a scary witch, and you interrupted her, saying that she was exaggerating... I was expecting her to be exaggerating!" She was!

Rika points at me. "See, Rabbit!? I told you Yuta did something stupid...! So please help me find someway of getting him out of this deal!" I will refuse any attempts at ending the deal in question though.

Ciel frowns. "I wish I could Rika, specially since Touko will drag him around when he loses... But even squirming your way out of a normal mage's geass can be quite the hassle, much less of one made by a Grand." Ah, now I kind of feel a bit bad.

Not because I made the deal, but because I'm worrying Senpai. Losing means I would end up leaving the church, since I would need to follow Touko, so I get why this is stressing her. It couldn't be helped though.

Arcueid tilts her head. "I don't get what everyone is freaking out about, but can't I just beat up Touko? I'm totally down for that." That wouldn't solve anything unless you are willing to kill her. Which is definitely a no.

Rika glares at her. "Of course you wouldn't get it! You never get anything!" Nah, for once I'm totally glad that Arcueid has such faith on me. It's raising up my ego at least, that's for sure.

The vampire shrugs. "Eh, I for one think you guys are being way too negative." She smirks in Ciel's direction. "Specially you, stop with that frown already." Ciel doesn't even dignify her with an answer.

Kohaku pouts. "Mother... it's not fair when you talk, because you're already... Ah, nevermind. Just be aware that this is really, really bad, okay!?" Even at the end, it doesn't seem like Arcueid quite understands her perspective. Also, don't call her mother!

Hisui interjects, she too looks worried, which is a good way of crushing my heart into dust. "S-still, perhaps something can be done." She sends me a pleading look. "Tell me Elder Brother, are you in possession of the contract, or a copy of the contract?" Um... no.

Kohaku raises a finger. "Yeah, if you have one... I can help you analyze it and break it! I have glitch hunted enough games that I definitely know how to find flaws in things!" I think glitching hunting and magical documents are very different things.

Besides, I'll have to break their heart even more. Sadly. "Sorry, but I don't have the contract. It seemed legit though." Well, there is a very easy loophole my enemies could exploit, in fact I'm expecting them to do so.

I just said they had to accept my invitation to dates, though Touko also added in the contract that they have to show up as well... Which is a dirty trick of course! They're just blinding me! You see, by adding something that helped me, she was trying to make me feel safe...

But the truth is, the contract never specified how they had to act during the date. Which means Touko and Aoko could just... go to sleep or something. That said, I decided to not point this out, mostly because when they do start enjoying the dates, it will hit twice as hard.

Besides, I do have one massive advantage. The geass says they have to fall in love with me, but it doesn't say they have to become my girlfriend or anything. That means they won't be able to deny my victory by being too tsun.

Ciel glares at me, she probably thinks I'm the biggest idiot in the world right now. "Tomorrow you will ask for a copy of the contract, got it? And don't succumb to pressure if they say no at first. You need to get it." Um...

I pout, cross my arms and then look away. "No. I won't be doing that." I have a reason why though. Trust me when I say I'm not just being stubborn, I am very aware of the advantages having a copy of the contract could bring.

Ciel jaw hits the floor. She must be shocked at my childish looking pout. "W-why not!? You normally obey my advice, so why not this time...?" Do I though...? Do I really normally obey your advice?

Rika quickly nods. "Yeah! Obey Rabbit's advice, it's clear that her wisdom stat is bigger than yours!" W-wow, this situation is do bad that even Rika is against me. I'll prove them wrong soon enough though.

Hisui looks down. "Elder Brother... I don't wish to insult you, but I believe your bra-... I think your heart is the biggest part of you, that's all." And so my little sister abandons me. Not that she's my little sister of course.

Kohaku throws herself at me, I barely manage to hold my ground so I don't fall down. "You have to follow what Ciel said...! You don't get it Big Bro... Stupidly pursuing a harem is such a big part of you...! I don't want to see it gone!" I feel like your purposely exaggerating.

Hisui immediately agrees with her. "Yes, I do not believe ending your harem pursuits right now would be the wisest decision... due to certain factors." My harem pursuits will never end. Even when I'm an old man!

Kohaku nods while hugging me. "Besides, I don't want some... hag to take you all around the world! How are we supposed to follow then!?" You guys could just stay here... Not that I will lose.

Hisui clasps her hands together. "Yes. We will follow you everywhere and anywhere of course, giving up on the school we just enrolled if necessary." Are you emotionally blackmailing me!? I thought that was Kohaku's thing!?

Kohaku sobs, it's so exaggerated that I'm ninety-nine percent sure it's fake. "If that hag takes my Big Bro, my life might as well be over. I will become a NEET. Who follows you around of course!" Oh, there's the emotional blackmail...

I pat Kohaku on the back. "Don't worry, none of that will occur, for I have plans! No, seriously, if there's one guy you could trust in seducing those two, that guy is me." Not to brag or anything, because I don't even consider it that impossible.

Now if someone had asked me to convince Akiha she should join my harem in a week? I would pass on that, but I have met and spoken with both sisters, and I know exactly what they are. Desperate women in their early thirties to early forties, easy prey for one Yuta Okkotsu.

Ciel pushes her glasses up. "Oh yeah? Mention one of those plans, a single one. Actually, instead of doing that, why don't you give your reason for not asking a copy of the contract?" Eash peasy.

I grin, and hug Kohaku tighter. Just in case those tears from before were just a tiny bit real. "Because asking for the contract would be basically screaming I don't trust them. A relationship can't start on a lack of trust." That's basic.

Senpai raises an eyebrow. "Oh yeah? Then why do you need a contract for them to show up in a date? That seems pretty contradictory to me." Ah, this is why you could never be a harem master like me!

Okay, I technically don't have a harem, because I'm pretty sure you need three girlfriends and I have two... But I'm getting there! I see the finish line, and I see the path that will take me to the finish line!

I chuckle. "Naive. The contract isn't there to guarantee they show up for a date with me, it's to guarantee they show up for a date with each other. It's a totally separate matter!" It was something necessary.

Their relationship has been broken, and they fixed it... sort of... in their own unique way. That's why I needed something to shake up the status quo, even if that something is a magically binding contract.

That said, my answe doesn't seem to satisfy anyone, so I continue elaborating. "And if you guys are that worried about the contract... Don't be. While Touko is definitely the type to cheat, that thing will also pass through Sensei's hands." And that's all I need to trust it.

Ciel pouts. "I fail to see how that matters. No offense to your teacher Yuta, but I trust your analysis of it even more than I do hers." So instead of offending her you decided to offend me!? Have some trust on me, my grades are always super high!

And that isn't the only thing to consider either. My clearly supernatural instincts didn't start screaming at me when I signed the contract, and while I should never use that as the deciding factor on something, it is certainly a bonus.

A sigh of frustration leaves Rika's mouth. "No... I can't believe I'm saying this, but Yuta actually has a good point." You finally see my side! "This is something that will decide the future of her pupil, so Sensei has probably read the contract a thousand times. And considering she hasn't called it to cancel the whole thing yet... She must have signed it." Oh, that's interesting.

But not what was on my mind. "That's a pretty good point Rika, I hadn't even thought about that." As expected my girlfriend is a genius. I have no doubt that she would have brought humanity to new levels if she didn't die.

Rika's shock is clear on her face, even people who aren't me could probably notice. "Huh!? So you where referring to something else!?" Yep, but your analysis is valid too. In fact our analysis combine to make the contract even more legit.

Kohaku walks to her moth- Arcueid. "Mother... are you still really okay with this? As you can see Big Bro is clearly in a different wavelength. And that wavelength might not actually exist!" What does that even mean!?

Hisui follows her sister. "His heart is big." You're just repeating something you said before! And I still don't get what you are trying to say, even if I can tell it's supposed to be a hidden insult!

Arcueid pats their heads. "Don't worry my daughters." She sends me a a smile. "So, what exactly where you gonna say about the contract little brother?" Do not call me that. Seriously. Thanks for the support though.

I send her a thumbs up. "It's easy... Aoko is definitely, secretly hoping she becomes my girlfriend, she's a desperate Christmas cake after all. Well, Touko is the same, but she... works a bit differently. In the end though, what matters is that Sensei wouldn't let an opportunity like this be sabotaged." At least that's what I think.

Aoko Aozaki wants to find love, and I already planted the seeds of me being that love in her head. Now, she probably took them all as jokes first, but time is passing... And she has also seen that I can indeed be quite the lover considering I seduced the White Princess.

Which means the biggest barriers right now are these... Age, which is easy to ignore, Sensei is a pretty straightforward person, so if I get enough affection from her, she will start to ignore this.

And the next one is embarrassment. I think she may have had a bad experience in the past, or maybe it's because she's embarrassed to admit our dynamic is changing, but either way... Aoko is someone who is embarrassed of loving someone, even if she acknowledges it as being something good. What a complicated woman...

Touko is a bit different from Aoko though. I do think she subconsciously does desire company, but she also consciously cuts it off before it can ever bloom. That's why she said she leaves when she starts to get attached too much to someone.

And I think I know why. Sensei is the type of person who gives her everything to the people she loves, and that will definitely be even worse when she finds a lover. Touko must be the same, and she's afraid of that.

In essence both are little yanderes who are about to hatch, but only Touko realizes it. Thankfully though, I will have until the end of the week to build that connection, so she won't be able to just decide she needs to leave.

In the end I think Aoko and Touko are the easiest people to seduce... because they want to be seduced! They are the type of gal that will marry a guy after a week of dating! So I'm not scared at all!

Well, that's all if I was trying to separately date them of course... But due to the path I took, this has evolved from a super easy mission into a... easy mission. That's right, I very much think this is doable!

Ciel scowls. "I..." And then that scowl dies out. "I think what you said might make sense? I don't know enough about Aoko Aozaki to confirm or deny it really." She puts her hands on her hips. "And well, you certainly are confident at least." Yeah, more than ever.

There will be problems along the way, but I have no doubt that I can conquer them. This is not a situation like with Vlov where I was unprepared and inexperienced. This arena of love and Christmas cakes... is my turf!

Arcueid smirks in Ciel's direction. "I'm glad you're finally understanding." She sends me a thumbs up. "If my little brother says he can do something, then he can do something. It's as simple as that." Thank you.

I send her a thumbs up. "I appreciate all the support Big Si-, I'm not your little brother!" I take a deep breath. "Anyways, I trust you are all satisfied now?" I don't know what else they could ask.

Rika shakes her head. "No! The contract is totally a different matter from how you plan to actually seduce those two!" She makes a thinking pose. "Well, you are the most charming man on Earth..." Hell yeah, I am!

Who doesn't wanna date an arrogant teenager who is secretly and adult!? Okay, maybe I don't exactly come off as some super seductive bachelor, but I'm confident in being above average enough that I can make Aoko and Touko fall for me.

The biggest problem for someone would probably be keeping up with them in other matters, like not being killed by Touko when she has a fit of lunacy, or knowing Aoko doesn't hate you just because she kicked you. Basically you have to be strong and crazy, all things which I happen to be!

Arcueid starts poking Rika. "Now you're seeing it too! Oh, I'm surprised it took you so long though." Why do I feel like that's supposed to be a shot at my ghost girlfriend...?

Rika huffs and looks away. "Please, I know Yuta is amazing... It's just that Sensei is like... some super amazing star too." I can't deny that, but her stardom comes from the fact that she's passionate and brave, not from the fact that she has a healthy love life.

Ciel interjects. "She is... which is why we must plan." Eh? "To be honest, while I do think Yuta is charming... Making the Aozaki's fall for him in such a short amount of time is too heavy a task for anyone." So you're still not convinced?

She continues. "Which is why... We must all help Yuta plans his date! We are all women, so surely we can understand their minds and hearts!" W-wow, so in the end my comrades will help me... I'm so moved. "That said, I have no experience with romance, so someone please give their imput." Truly moved.

Rika looks away. "Well, my only experience is with Yuta... Which obviously won't help much... Ah, maybe we could take a few ideas from romantic movies?" That's the worst case scenario.

Arcueid nods with clear excitement. "That's genius! Oh, and I can't help either, I..." She flinches. "My only experience with love is Yuta too!" Um... that was suspicious. But I won't question it, even if I will remember it.

Both send me expectant looks, so there's only one way I could respond. "Don't worry, I basically have those movies engraved on my mind." And I will never use them as guidelines for actual relationships. If I said that though, they would get sad.

Hisui blushes and looks down. "I... um... also have no experience with romance, sorry Elder Brother." She keeps stealing glances at me while saying the expectant. I'm surrounded by virgins.

Kohaku sends me a peace sign. "Well, I have plenty of experience stealing from dumbasses online with my cute sounding voice, and also... I have read some special material. If you know what I mean." I do, and I choose to ignore it.

I look back at Ciel and raise a silent eyebrow. In response she starts sputtering. "W-we could always call Noel! She knows all about dating!" I thought the goal here was to help me, not to ruin my dates.

I chuckle. "I'll pass..." I might call Shiki for ideas later though. I know that much like me, he's also a lady killer... Then again, I won't. I don't want other people's ideas.

After all tomorrow is the promised day I longed for... The day where I finally go on a date with Aoko Aozaki... And her sister too, apparently.



/////////////////////////////////////////////////



"Now I just gotta wait for them..." I'm at the place we agreed to meet through a cellphone call. That place happens to be a mall... It's a pretty good place for a first date, since it's full of many different activities I have a large room for improvisation.

I take a deep breath. "Everything should be in place..." Rika and Arcueid stayed back home, mostly because they would probably make the date a bit too awkward. Specially Rika, who Sensei is very familiar with.

This does mean I have a lot less protection than usual of course, but c'mon, I'm going on a date with the Aozaki sisters. Nobody is gonna attack us unless they desire a fate worse than death.

Honestly I almost wish some idiot tried. Such a chaotic scenario could probably help me get close to them... and speaking of one of my favorite pair of siblings... I can see them approaching in the distance, from different places.

Aoko is dressed like usual, and she has an excitement, albeit shy smile on her face. She's definitely looking forward to this, and probably hoping no one recognizes her and calls the cops too.

Touko is dressed much better than Aoko, but still in a casual manner. She's wearing her glasses, and seems to be smiling as well... But I now she can always pull an Aizen, so I must be ready for anything and everything.

It's time to show these Christmas cakes what true love looks like.
