It's True Love 47 (Patreon)

"Senpai, if Arcueid tries something, please run while I hold her back." I'm a scared man, who doesn't really know how his harem will react to what happened in the park.

I actually had sex, and it wasn't even with one of the girls I was dating. Well, it was fairly obvious to anyone with eyes that Ciel and I were probably gonna get together eventually, but I bet people didn't predict this.

She chuckles. "Don't worry Yuta, they won't be able to notice anything." This naive fool doesn't understand that we smell really badly right now. Just that is already enough for Rika and the others.

And that isn't the only clue that something weird happened either. Ciel's glasses are now missing, since she broke them once she threw them away. She's also walking weirdly, which she shouldn't be considering she regenerates from everything, but I won't question my new girlfriend about something so embarrassing.

More importantly however... "I don't want to keep something like this a secret to be honest, it sounds super scummy." Like I'm having an affair or something... Which this sort of was, I suppose.

Ciel puts her hands on her hips. "And having sex with me in a park wasn't?" Ugh, I may not survive her barrage of attacks. "Also, condemning me to fight that vampire is also quite scummy." Yeah, I'm dead.

I stammer. "Sorry...!" Yeah, maybe there's no way I can avoid being a scumbag here. Specially since even my moral compass is calling me one. In my defense though, it takes two to tango!

She leans her head against my shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm just teasing you. I get why you wouldn't want to keep something like this a secret." That's a relief. "So feel free to tell anybody and everybody. I won't even care if our school suddenly knows we are an item." My loner reputation will truly die then.

"You are the man I love after all, and I want everyone to know that." This...

I'm definitely blushing. "Senpai if you don't stop acting so dangerously, I might just attack you again. So please let me control myself." Why do the women in my life insist on suddenly surprising me like that?

She giggles. "Sure, sure. I apologize for loving my boyfriend too much." I'm serious here! "Now, let's face the music." The puts her hand on the door, and slowly open. "We're back!" And we enter without hesitation.

And we are greeted by everyone lazing around. Rika, Arcueid and Sensei are watching movies, while Hisui and Kohaku clean... Watching this many people does make me happy, but it also reminds me that this apartment really isn't big enough for this.

Hisui smiles. "Welcome back. Honored Sister made dinner, so if you two are hungry... Well, I imagine it's still hot." Awesome, Kohaku is like the best cook ever.

And it also seem like no one noticed anything strange. "I see, I'm gonna go eat then." I obviously will tell them, but I would rather tell them when everyone is calm, over having a huge racket started.

Ciel nods. "Yes, I'm famished too." And it seems my Senpai understands my viewpoint. Yeah, I'll think of a plan while I eat dinner, and then tell everyone after it. I'm sure some confusion will still be born, but it shouldn't be too bad.

I should know at this point however, that no plan survives contact with the enemy.

Kohaku, who points a trembling finger at us. "You two had sex! You two definitely had sex!" How do you know!? Do you have a sex radar or something...!? Maybe that's just an ability all little sisters possess...

Hisui immediately sends her a incredulous look. "Honored Sister!?" Without a doubt she's wondering what she did to deserve such a crazy sibling, but for once Kohaku is completely and utterly correct.

And she isn't the only one that reacts, immediately Rika's eyes are... on Ciel. "Rabbit!? How could you betray me like that!?" I'm dodging all the guilt because Rika likes me too much. I don't know how to feel about that.

Arcueid too glares at Senpai. "Ciel...! I'm gonna tear you to pieces!" Isn't this way too much hostility for some random comment made by Kohaku!? She hasn't even shown any proof!

Even if she isn't lying.

To my surprise however, before things can escalate further Sensei chimes in. "Oh. That's cool, I guess..." She isn't showing some super jealous levels like the others, in fact she seems pretty calm.

Which is kinda stressing me out even more, surprisingly enough. "Um... Sensei... What Kohaku said is true, we were planning on telling everybody of course, but..." The cat is out of the bag, so I won't even try to deny it.

Sensei waves me off. "Yeah, I figured it was true. You stink of sex Yuta." She noticed as soon as I came in? "What? You guys think this is some big deal or whatever? Ain't this a harem?" I-I guess so...

Rika looks away. "Well, I'm just surprised Yuta had sex with Rabbit, that's all... But this is way better than him showing affection to Bimbocueid." It seems Sensei quickly calmed her down.

Kohaku tilts her head. "And I'm just surprised Ciel went first. I mean... When a guy takes so long to bang someone, I start thinking there's something wrong ya know?" I didn't bang you because you declared yourself my little sister!

Hisui covers her face. "I don't believe we should be talking about sex at all! Our older brother's private life should stay as his private life!" You are a precious little thing as usual.

Ciel pouts. "Well, we just had sex because I started it. Yuta is a pretty passive person, surprisingly enough." I'm not passive at all! Or at least that's what I like to say, but it is true that I haven't exactly been looking for opportunities to have sex.

Arcueid points at Ciel. "Don't think you get to brag about it!" She's seemingly the only person here who is still mad about how things have turned out. And I understand why, we got interrupted after all.

Aoko sighs. "Look Arcueid it isn't a big deal... Kids your age put too much importance on sex." She's actually older than you. "I suppose this phase is at least cute, it will be scary living here once the horny phase starts." I dearly away for that phase.

Arcueid basically growls. "Easy for you to say! You're like... old and stuff!" The insult is so weak that not even Sensei is affected. "Yuta didn't even... he didn't even do it with me, so...!" I...

I would like to say she's exaggerating or something, but that would be a pretty horrible thing to say to my girlfriend. Specially since that girlfriend is normally super energetic and happy about everything.

I interject. "Arcueid... I won't apologize for liking Ciel, but it's true that I shouldn't have left you feeling unloved." I give her my best Japanese bow. "I'm sorry, please forgive me!" I'm not too sorry to be honest.

I always knew that situation such as these ones would arrive in my path of obtaining a harem. So I have long ago accepted them as... I won't say necessary, but in the end someone will have the first kiss, get married first, have the first baby, etc...

It's just inevitable. Still, I could have handled this better. For example, I should have confessed immediately, instead of holding onto some fake hope that I could create a masterpiece plan on how to handle this.

Arcueid crosses her arms. "Well as long as you feel sorry..." She then glares at Senpai. "And what about you? Executor?" Her tone has become much colder. "If you grovel and beg I might just forgive you. Might."

Ciel raises an eyebrow. "It's a shame I don't plan on groveling and begging then. Specially since we are on my apartment. Damn freeloader." I know that was only aimed at Arcueid, but please remember the rest of us.

And now Arcueid has massive claws growing out of her fingers. Amazing. "Ciel, I'm serious here. I will show you what a thousand years of torture look like." Ah, this is really bad huh?

I get between the two of them. It seems I will have to do this alone, since everyone else is content with staying silent. I wonder if that silence would break should I say something wrong and then get cleaved in half.

I'm definitely sweating. "C'mon guys... gals... let's not fight! I'm the scumbag here after all, so please direct any complaints towards me." Now that I think about it, it's a miracle I'm still alive, isn't it?

Ciel pouts and looks away. "I don't have any complaints to send to you. It's just that this vampire is a brat..." Is she now? Are you gonna correct her? I probably shouldn't be thinking about something like this right now...

Arcueid's claws disappear. "I also don't really have any complaints left for you..." And then she suddenly hugs me. "Actually I do! You're spending too much time with this challenge thingy, so you better take me on another date once it's over!" Great, she's happy again.

I lightly chuckle. "Of course... Maybe I can take you to the beach or something. That sounds nice." I just want to see her in a bikini. Actually I would love to see everyone else in a bikini too.

Arcueid has stars in her eyes. "Sure! And we can hunt down a Kraken...! Or that boat Dead Apostle Ancestor guy!" You are raising your expectations a bit too high! "Or play volleyball!" That's way more doable!

Suddenly I hear clapping, it's coming from Kohaku. "Wow, what a masterful display Big Brother! You're the type who can survive walking into Lad-, Akiha naked, aren't you?" You're calling me a generic harem protagonist!?

Hisui blushes. "Why are we bringing even more shameful images into this...?" Because your sister might be a pervert. Or she might just like chaos. Alternatively, it could be both.

I sigh. "I definitely wouldn't survive that situation, so Kohaku has said one truth and one lie today." I cross my arms. "So I guess those are all the crazy revelations for the night. Ciel and I are now an Item."

Rika grumbles. "Traitorous little rabbits..." Eh, surely you always knew this day was comind. Senpai is too powerful to be resisted after all.

Still, Ciel sends her an apologetic look. "Sorry Rika... It just... I just sort of started liking him..." It's the mentor and student effect. Something Sensei can definitely confirm. Hopefully it affects Noel next.

Rika pouts. "It's fine... I guess. At least you're not Bimbocueid, and you even actively dislike her so..." You actually gave her a pass!? Your hatred of my silly vampire girlfriend increases by the day.

Arcueid interjects. "Why am I suddenly getting attacked here!?" Because we live in a state of constant and neverending war. I might just be the worst guy at managing harems ever.

Rika huffs. "'Cause you're bad." Tsun. Cute.

Suddenly Aoko tries getting my attention. "Yo, Yuta, there's something I need to ask you." I immediately look at her, it's probably something important since it's Sensei. "I need to make sure, because you were apparently a super virgin... You did use condoms right?"

Senpai immediately looks away, and I have to respond. "N-no... Sorry." And now Sensei is sending me the most judgmental look ever. Shouldn't a Christmas cake be happy that her boyfriend is stupid in this very specific way!?

Rika glares at me. "Yuta, I'm sorta okay with these harem shenanigans, even when you're including people like Bimbocueid... But I want the first kid. That's not up to negotiation." Very reasonable and all...

But how though!? "Rika, you're a ghost." I guess adoption is always on the table?

She glares at me. "If you can figure it how to build a harem, you can figure this out." I have no counter argument for that. "Oh, and lower that hand Bimbocueid, before I kill you." I didn't even notice she was raising one!

Aoko sighs. "Ah... Well, to prevent any disaster from happening tomorrow..." She takes out he wallet, and then takes something out of her wallet. "Yuta, my sister's body is actually a puppet, but it's so similar to a human body that it might as well not matter, so catch this." She throws something at me.

As ordered, I catch it, and once I check what it is... "A condom!? Why do you even have one!?" I'm probably making too much of a big deal out of this, but it ended up surprising me.

She waves me off. "I'm an adult woman Yuta. And condoms made specifically for women are a pain to use, so I carry a guy's one." Makes sense. "Buy more when you have the opportunity though. You're a big boy, don't go ruining your life in high school."

"Yeah. I doubt I'm gonna be banging your sister tomorrow though." Even if she will be falling for me tomorrow.



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



"S-sorry, but could we talk?" On my way to my date I'm interrupted by a stranger. I immediately recognize who she is... But at the same time I have never met her.

A blonde girl who dresses like a princess. That was the description of my stalker. Without a doubt this is her... It's kinda hard to get mad at her though, because she can't be older than Miyako.

So I don't exactly raise my guard against Miss Stalker over here. "Sure! I'm about to... be a bit busy though. This won't take too much time, right?" I hope I didn't come off as rude, but I'm pretty sure being late on a date with Touko Aozaki shouldn't take long.

She pouts. "This shouldn't take long..." Yeah, it definitely came off as rude. "I-I just wanted to i-introduce myself." Welp, she quickly got back into shy stalker mode. I wonder if she's the romantic stalker type though.

You see, a normal person would probably get extremely creeped out if they received a stalker. I however, am just happy someone dropped a free cute girl on my lap. Well, this might be just an innocent little crush though...

I try to give her a bright smile, to show I'm not mad. "I see! I'm Yuta Okkotsu! It's nice to meet you... unless we have met before?" I'm assuming she probably has a reason for stalking me, and I doubt it's my good looks.

So there's a decent chance I met her in the past and just forgot about it. I wanna say I wouldn't forget a girl who goes around dressed in such expensive clothing, but maybe she wasn't wearing it when we met.

She shakes her head. "N-no, this is the first time we have met." E-eh? Then why is she stalking me...? Well, maybe she wasn't the stalker? "Um... I don't look forgettable, do I?" Does that really matter right now!?

I immediately deny it, of course. "I don't think anyone could forget a little princess such as yourself!" Maybe that answer was a bit too childish, it's not like this girl is actually a kid. However, I don't know her enough, so I don't know what tone I should take.

And going full myself, complete with asking her to marry me might end up with me being thrown into the slammer. Which would mean I would miss my date with Touko, upgrading my jail cell to a coffin.

She giggles. "Okay then, I'll believe your word, Yuta!" Well, it seems it worked well enough. "And... well... my name is..." She takes a deep breath. "Sorry... I have building up courage for this for a while, but it's still scary...!" Um...

I only learned about her existence because she supposedly stopped stalking me for a while. Could that have happened because she was trying to build courage? What a shy girl... Though that only makes her feel even more like a fairytale princess.

And while I'm no prince, I'll still try my best to calm her down. "It's alright, take your time." Except don't, I'm on a clock right now.

She slowly nods. "Alright... here it goes, I'm Manaka Sajyou! T-that's my name, so please don't forget it, 'kay?" She's shaking like a leaf. Our previous conversation must still be affecting her.

I nod back. "Don't worry, I won't." Forgetting a stalker is seriously dangerous! "So, do you need anything else Manaka... Actually, now that I think about it, where are your parents anyways?" She's old to walk around alone.

Or at least that's what someone who didn't see Miyako's misadventure would say. Now, that originally happened because Miyako was new to this city, and I don't know if that's the case for this girl, but I can't help, but worry...

She looks down. "Y-yeah, that's pretty much it... And dad is back on our hotel." Oh, so she is visiting after all... Did encountering Miyako give me a sixth sense about protecting little girls!? Or maybe I developed that with Rika.

She slowly looks up. "Um... Could you... could you take me there? I know the address." You know, a sudden thought just hit me. If this girl is capable enough to stalk me, she's definitely capable enough to go home alone.

And I also really don't want to be late for my date.. but if she's asking for help, I can't really refuse. "Sure-" Suddenly something gets my attention. A single flower petal who quickly flies across my vision.

I turn around a bit and see a new arrival, immediately I wave at her. "Cat!" I cannot believe I just randomly stumbled onto the girl who actually helped Miyako in the first place. How lucky.

Manaka's right eye twitches. "Really...? Right now...?" Hold your horses little stalker. If you have been observing me for any amount of time, you should know that I talk with plenty of girls.

I just hope I also haven't exposed this girl to the supernatural by accident, but surely I haven't. She would have said something about it at this point, right?

Cat sighs as soon as she sees me. "Yuta." What's with that reaction!? Well, at least she's walking over. "So, who's this brat?" You really don't hesitate at all huh? Be nice to her, she might cry otherwise.

Thankfully Manaka smiles... Well, it's the type of smile Rika used to give anytime I talked with another kid of the female variety back when we were young, but it's better than nothing. "I'm Manaka Sajyou, nice to meet you!"

Shiki smiles back. "Name's Shiki. Nice to meet ya kid." She then looks at me. "So, do I need to call the police? Have you already started to scream about how you wanna lick her all over?" Is this the impression my interaction with Miyako gave you!?

I chuckle. "Please don't make jokes like that in front of her." Manaka is blushing bright red, while Shiki is sending me a look that tells me she didn't mean it as a joke. "Anyways, I'm surprised I stumbled onto you. What you're up to, Cat?" I have a plan.

I cannot waste time right now, I'm aware of that, so don't think for a second I'm just chatting up Shiki for no reason. I don't want to die by the hands of an Aozaki right after I seduced one after all.

She snorts. "And I'm surprised you're even alive at all, considering that... bet." Heh, she doesn't even know that I'm winning. "And... I'm just kinda walking around, I guess." She puts a hand on her head. "Seriously, what am I doing?" Huh?

Manaka crosses her arms. "A declaration of war from someone who won't even show up?" I don't know what you're talking about, but please remember that you took days trying to build enough courage to tell me your name.

Shiki then shakes her head. "I guess I shouldn't think too hard about a whim... So Yuta, ya need me to bail you in the whole bet thing? I don't mind lending a hand." How surprisingly nice of you.

But I guess Shiki has always been pretty nice to me, for some reason. "Don't worry, I got this. Aoko is already my girlfriend now." She flinches clearly surprised, and before she has time to process what I said, I spring my trap. "Anyways, take care of Manaka for me, 'cause I'm busy!" And so I dash away.

Shiki can keep her child protector title!

AN: Manaka and Shiki, two completely normal people. Nothing wrong with them at all.
