It's True Love 50 (Patreon)

"Beach! We are going to the beach! Beach!" Arcueid is jumping around like a kid who just ate too much sugar, it's as cute as it is annoying, considering everybody just woke up.

Rika's growls at her. "Pipe it down Bimbocueid, let my brain actually wake up." She could at least wait for us to eat breakfast. Not that I'll tell her such a thing of course.

In the end the fact that she's so excited does make me way more happy than annoyed. So instead I shall simply let my other friends slowly try to destroy her morale, while my hands are kept clean.

Arcueid pouts. "Fine... But we will go to the beach, right Yuta?" She takes a bite of the food prepared by Kohaku. The vampire is basically inhaling it, because the ex-maid's food is as good as always.

It seems that Kohaku, Hisui and Senpai are the type who are fine with waking up early, and so Kohaku never minds making us food early in the morning. That isn't to say they're immune to being annoyed by Arcueid though, so it's a good thing the vampire stopped.

I nod. "Yeah, I did promise it after all. And I basically have no other things I need to accomplish... sort of. So I have more than enough freetime for us to go." I do need to kill Roa of course, but he's still... somewhere.

Arcueid sends me a thumbs up. "Awesome! Then let's all go together!" Oh? That's surprising. I thought for sure that Arcueid would want some alone time with me, but it seems she's roping the others to go along too.

I nod. "Great idea. I was actually thinking the same..." I then look at everyone else. "So, who wants to go?" If they're busy, or just not feeling it, they can reject my offer of course. I'll definitely not be hurt by it. Okay, I would be hurt, but just a little bit.

Kohaku immediately raises a hand. "Oh, I wanna go! I wanna go! I wanna perv on Big Brother!" Should a little sister really be saying something like that to her younger older brother?

Hisui definitely thinks it's wrong at least. "H-Honored Sister, do not say such things...!" I have a feeling that ever since she started living here, her blood pressure has gotten higher than ever before.

Kohaku shrugs. "What's the big deal? In the end Big Brother is gonna perv on me as well." She sends me a wink. "Am I right? Or am I right?" As we all know I am a perfect gentleman.

So of course the answer is yes. "You know it!" I send a wink right back. Funnily enough it has more of an effect on Hisui, who is sputtering.

And soon after it, Kohaku winks to her as well. "Besides, you wanna perv on him and be perved on by him too, right Hisui?" The younger twin has no response, making the older one pout. "C'mon, surely you will be going too?"

Hisui looks down. "I wanna go... But not to perv on him!" Awesome, so the twins will definitely go.

Sensei interjects. "Well, I'll be going too of course! I gotta spend time with my boyfriend whenever the opportunity presents itself and all!" She's super happy. I think it might have something to do with how Touko won the bet, but didn't make me her boyfriend.

So in the end Sensei ended up one upping her sister. Except not really, since I haven't given up on Touko, but Aoko can keep being delusional if she wants to, I won't stop her at least.

Sensei giggles. "I bet you're dying to see my body huh?" A smug grin appears on her face. "Let me tell you, these youngsters you keep around don't even compare." Please don't give someone such easy ways of calling you old.

Rika imitates her smug grin. "Hah! You're a hag!" My first girlfriend doesn't hesitate for a moment, even now that Sensei has become my newest girlfriend. Actually that fact might have made her hesitate even less than usual.

Aoko's eyes twitches. "Do you want to get kicked? Brat." Sensei, don't call her brat. You're giving her even more ammo...

Rika giggles. "Just be careful with those, you're getting a bit too old for it, don't you think?" Sensei hasn't really aged a day since we met her, but if she does one day lose the ability to kick people, I will genuinely cry.

To my surprise Sensei sighs. "You're lucky I just woke up." Oh, so she survived the kick due to outside conditions. Could my girlfriend be a genius? "Anyways, Yuta..." Even though she says my name, she looks away.

Ah, I get it. She's still waiting for my comment. "I'm definitely looking forward to seeing you almost naked, Sensei! I mean, I have been dreaming about that butt for years!" It's the dream of all man.

She blushes, though she sends me a thumbs up. "A-awesome, but tone down those perverted levels!" She handled my comments better than Hisui, but not as well as Kohaku. The mid redhead...

Ciel sighs. "Well then, if everyone is going to go, I suppose I will too." She's talking as if this is some great burden, but there's a smile on her fact. "Somebody needs to keep an eye on the vampire, after all." Eh, I can do that, but I'm totally fine with you coming along.

Arcueid glares at her. "Why are you acting like I'm a troublemaker? Aren't you the girl who feels way too comfortable in public?" Ah, please don't use that as weapon. No defense will be able to block it.

Ciel flinches. "Don't bring that up! A-and I'll have you know sex on the beach is forbidden!" I don't wanna go anymore. "In fact any lewd activity is forbidden!" Please don't overcompensate...

Arcueid grits her teeth. "We'll see..." Why do I have a feeling these two will end up fighting at some point in time? I just hope the poor beach survives.

Oh well, that doesn't matter right now. "So with all tha settled, we need go find an empty beach. Mostly so people don't run away screaming when Rika shows up." The world is made of fools who don't appreciate my ghost girlfriend.

Rika raises a hand. "Actually, I won't be going Yuta." Hah? "I mean, it's clear that I would just 'cause trouble for everyone, so I'm fine with staying home." I see...

"Don't be stupid. Now that you said such idiotic stuff I'm forcing you to go." I nod to myself, and I can definitely tell the rest of the room approves. "Besides, I want to see you in a beach setting." That is my right as a harem protagonist!

Rika pouts. "Are you making fun of me Yuta? I can't exact wear a bikini... I'm not like the other girls here." You could definitely wear a bikini, it just has to be custom made!

But I doubt you want to hear that right now. "It's not about the bikini, it's about the beach setting. Also, of course you aren't like everyone else, what am I? A guy who makes a harem of identical girls?" Boring...

She snorts. "Yuta you're not supposed to comfort a girl by bring up other girls." You brought them up first though. "But fine, I'm going. I guess I want to see you in... a beach setting as well." Now you get it!

Arcueid grins. "Then that's settled! Everyone is going...! Though..." She tilts her head. "Should we invite more people? Like Shiki and stuff?" Um... This is kind of getting massive.

I shrug. "I wouldn't mind it, but it would take a lot more planning. I guess we could do like... a barbecue or something?" My Brazilian roots are showing! "Oh, and beach volleyball too!" My anime watcher roots are showing!

Ciel chuckles. "And how are we supposed to pay for all that?"

"Um..." Good question! "The Holy Church will finance it?" That has been the solution to all my money problems recently. I probably need to kill some vampires soon, before they decide I spend more than I'm worth.

Ciel's eye twitches. "Really Yuta...?" Ah, my beach dreams might have just died. "Ugh, fine. The church will finance it." She looks away. "I can't say no to you after all." I suddenly remember when Kohaku said Ciel was like an overly obedient wife. Sorry Senpai!

I send her a thumbs. "Okay then! So today we buy a bunch of stuff and invite a bunch of people, and tomorrow we go!" We might be moving a bit too fast, but hopefully that will be okay.

Sensei interjects. "Actually... why don't you rest up a bit Yuta? You have been pretty busy this past week, even if it was because of..." She blushes. "That stupid bet." There was nothing stupid about it!

I shake my head. "I don't really feel that tired... in fact I feel just fine! You energize me Sensei!" She glares at me, but that blush has gotten more prominent, so it's fine.

"Right... At least try to take less work. Like... how about you just invite a person and call it a day?" Well, that's... "I will go to the Tohno Mansion, so leave that to me... Hell, I will even call my sister." That might lead to a bad ending.

Ciel interjects. "Oh, and I can call Noel! I'm sure she would appreciate an opportunity to take a break." I don't know how she would feel about going to the beach with Arcueid...

But fine I'll relent. "Okay then, Sensei will handle inviting everyone back in the Tohno Mansion, and her Sister, while Senpai will invite Noel-Sensei." I put a hand on my chin. "And I guess I'll invite cat then? Anyways, so how will we handle buying stuff."

Ciel smiles. "Just leave that to us too. I mean, we need to buy bikinis as well, and we want it to be a surprise and all." That makes sense...

Now I just have to hope I can convince Cat.

"You're stalking me, aren't you...?" This accusation again!? Cat really is ruthless when she wants to be.

But I won't just take her attacks! "Nope, I just kinda stumbled onto you. Though I was on my way to your apartment..." I make a thinking pose. "Maybe you're the stalker here?" She does sort of give the vibes!

Her eye twitches. "Not in a million years lover boy." I'm just glad the world allowed me to hear you calling me lover boy. "So what do you need with me? Make it quick, 'cause I'm still pissed over you dumping the brat on me."

I chuckle. "Was she that bad...? She seemed sort of nice." Shiki's glare makes clear that she really was that bad. Though I wonder if she's stalking me right now...

Rika leaves my shadow, since there isn't anybody around, it should be fine. "Brat...? Who are you two talking about?" Oh, I forgot to tell her about Manaka, but in my defense our meeting wasn't anything crazy.

Shiki sighs. "Your boy toy dumped some... annoyance on me so he could go on with his date. She kept yapping on my ears about... fucking trees or whatever." Wow, she got so irritated that she swore!?

This time I hold back my chuckles. "Her name is Manaka, Rika. Apparently she has been stalking me for a while... Touko said she's a mage, but nothing special, so I'm not too worried." She's powerful enough to survive annoying Cat, I guess.

Rika crosses her arms. "Why do you keep gaining stalkers? We went so many years without you getting all this attention..." It's my popular phase! It happens to all teenage boys with magical powers.

Shiki interjects. "Speaking of attention... how did the bet go? I'm assuming your dreams are now dead?" Oi, what's with the low faith!? "Well, make sure to stand still. I have an ability that-." I cut her off.

"Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, right?" Her eyes widen in surprise. "Touko told me about it... Though I also have a friend who has a pair, and I copied his ability, so I can have one at any time I need to. That's why I used to wear glasses by the way."

"W-what?" I seem to have put her on the back foot. Was my revelation so shocking. "You were just walking around seeing death...? But you seem so... normal." For real!? I definitely don't! You know me!

I shrug. "I mean, yeah, I guess. Anyway, thanks for what I think was your offer to help me, but..." A massive grin appears on my face. "I won the bet! I'm now dating Aoko Aozaki, and being lusted after by Touko Aozaki!" I hope she's not watching me right now.

Rika looks away. "Ugh, why is my Yuta just so perfect...?" You have a very weird vision of perfect. Perhaps if you looked at a mirror, you would realize nothing can surpass you.

Shiki takes a step back. "I... Bullshit. You're faking it. Prove it or I'm never talking to you ever again." Well, this certainly escalated quickly.

But there's a easy way to prove it. "Shiki... I like big butts and I cannot lie! Yours included! Please join my harem." I wish I lived in a reality where my invitation would be immediately accepted, but it wasn't meant to be.

Her eye twitches. "Have you been looking at my ass...?" Your weird kimono clothing thing sort of hides it to be honest. "Wait..." Her eyes widen. "You actually won the bet..." Her voice is filled with disbelief.

I puff my chest. "I'm just that guy." There were moments where my head was filled with doubt, but in the end everything worked out more or less fine. I guess I didn't get a perfect, but a passing grade is a passing grade.

Rika smiles. "He's just that guy." Oh, you're so supportive today!

Sadly Shiki isn't. "Right... I guess if you really want that nightmare after you, sure go ahead. Just don't expect me to bail you out in the future once you mess it up." You lack faith my weirdly dressed cat.

I snort. "Whatever you say cat. Anyways, about the reason why I'm here... I wanted to make you a special one of a kind invitation! And cellphones are lame, so I came in person!"

"One of a kind...? I assume you're not trying to invite me to your harem then, considering you invite any pretty girl you see." Not true, I have ignored Sacchin, and she's technically pretty! See, I have standards!

And also... "Well, I was just trying to be super dramatic, this invitation is technically going to a lot of people." But before she misunderstands... "You're right that it isn't a harem invitation though, I mean, I'm even gonna call a guy."

Rika pouts. "Not a guy, one guy. You need more male friends Yuta." They would just sabotage my harem plans with their existence. Much like a shitty isekai protagonist, I must only associate with girls, lest my self-esteem be destroyed.

I sigh. "Um... Doesn't Arihiko count for anything?" Her disapproving glare says no. "How about... Toji?" And nothing has changed. How cruel, don't mock me for only getting along with girls.

Shiki waves us off. "Yuta's inability to pursue anything that isn't romance aside, can we get back to the original topic? I was busy." You were just walking around, but sure.

I nod. "So here's the deal... tomorrow me and many of my friends, including a guy friend, will go on a legendary adventure! One where many alliances will be formed, and just as many alliances will be broken! A kraken might appear an-"

"We are gonna make a big party on a desolate beach. Wanna go?" Please let my chuuni self flourish. Also Arcueid might genuinely bring a kraken, so she should be aware of that.

"A desolate beach...?" She puts a hand on her chin. "A desolate beach with Yuta... Is this some sort of dark ploy to... you know? Because I ain't falling for it." Well, it's good to see that you can dodge standard NTR scenarios.

I put a hand on my hips. "Oi, I'm not that bad. And you know that, or you wouldn't hang out with me." At least I hope she wouldn't. Make Cat is friends with the Green Goblin too or something.

"I... Fair enough. Sure, I guess you get to see me in a bikini." It was that easy!? "Do anything perverted to me and I'll leave immediately though. So far you have been pretty great compared to what I'm used to, but I have an eye on you."

I send her a thumbs up. "Of course! Sorry that I made you feel like you had to say that though..." If I got to the point where girls are clarifying to me that sexual assault is wrong, then I definitely have gone too far with someone.

"Nah, don't worry. For all intents and purposes you're a pretty nice perverted. I guess you can be proud of that." She's saying that in a mocking tone, but...

I definitely will be proud of it! It's a great achievement!

"Human! Awaken once more! And actually leave me alone this time!" There's a loud voice screeching on my ears, forcing me to abruptly wake up.

And as soon as I open my eyes, I'm greeted by... Arcueid? No, she just looks similar to Arcueid, but there are many different things about her. She looks more like a sibling than anything else.

And this place... is it some sort of princess bedroom? It certainly looks like something from the medieval era, while also looking really expensive at the same time at least.

I put a hand on my head, I have a budding headache. "S-sorry, but who are you again...? And what's this place?" I remember going to sleep, and then... nothing else pretty much.

She takes a step back. And then another. And then another. Her face slowly morphs into shock, as it becomes just as red as her eyes. This girl is definitely a vampire... could she be Arcueid's sister...?

"Human, I will end you!" Eh!? What did I do!?
