The Affection Multiplier - Chapter 233: Just a few extra worries. (Patreon)

A couple of days have passed since your first time with Olivia, Lilian and Jessica. It Thursday, which means English with Mia in the first period. Midterms are the week after the next, so classes have been more about reviewing previous content than adding new one.

God bless that beautiful woman’s soul.

The bell rings and first period ends. Mia gives the class a last reminder that if anyone has any questions, they can usually find her in her office and that she has no issues answering doubts.

“However, try not to come during lunch hours, if possible.” She adds. “I try to get some work done in advance then. Either that or I’m eating with other teachers.”

“Then why does David get to go during lunch, Ms. Owens?” One girl protests.

Mia sighs heavily. “At this point he’s my unofficial assistant. Unless you want to help me organize files, tests and questionnaires, Ms. Maria.”

“N-No. I’m good, thanks.” The girl laughs nervously.

“Anyone else? I’m willing to take volunteers.” She says, grinning as she eyes the class. No one says a word. “Thought so.”

“So you get the questions to tests earlier?” A girl next to you asks.

You scoff. “I wish.”

“Figured.” She grumbles.

People start leaving the classroom, but you stay in your seat for a little bit, underlining some key words in your notes and adding marks to parts that you’ll need to review later or that might cause the other girls trouble. That’s become routine for every class, really.

Mia leaves after a general goodbye to the class, and you still think it sucks you can’t just walk up to her and give her a quick kiss. Instead, however, three other women walk up to your seat, and the blonde one moves your desk away to make space so that she can sit on your lap.

“Hey.” Lilian says, grinning at you.

“Sure, interrupt me while I’m working. It only means you won’t be able to read my notes.” You tell her.

“Oh.” She exclaims and drags the desk close to you again, not moving from your lap. “Continue, then.”

“You do this every class.” Olivia says, leaning forward on your back. “We have less recess time because of it.” She groans.

“You don’t have to wait for me, you know?” You tell her.

“And you don’t have to write extra notes for us,” Jessica says. “But you do it anyway.”

“I just don’t want you crawling to me later for last-minute cram sessions.” You tell her. “Or Sophia and Katherine, for that matter.”

“We’re still getting together to study tomorrow, right?” Lilian asks you, looking over your notebook.

“Yeah.” You nod. “And we’re studying. Nothing else. Don’t go getting ideas.”

“Aaaaaawwww!” The three of them moan in annoyance.

“Not even a little bit of fun?” Olivia pouts, purposefully pushing her breasts against the back of your head.

“You can’t tempt me. Megan tries it every time tests come and it still hasn’t worked.” You tell her. “If I’m going to be your boyfriend, I’m going to make sure you get decent or better results in school. You knew this beforehand.”

“Don’t get us wrong. We’re grateful.” Lilian sighs and wraps her arms around your neck. “Doesn’t make you any less of a party pooper.”

“Hello?” You hear Megan’s voice, and the four of you turn to the door to the classroom. Which is empty now, save for your group. You see Megan’s head peeking inside until she sees you. “Oh! You guys are still here!”

She comes in, followed by Emily, Sophia and Katherine.

“Oh! Katherine!” Lilian calls the redhead, sounding eager. “I finished the second season of the show! What do you mean there’s not a third one!?”

“Ugh! I know!” Katherine groans in agreement. “It’s criminal!”

“What do I do to know what happens next? There’s a huge broccoli in the middle of the city!”

Still looking at the redhead, Lilian scoots over to your left leg, patting your right to have Katherine sit on it. She does it mindlessly, just giving you a quick peck on the lips before she continues talking to Lilian.

“You’re gonna have to read the comic.” Katherine says with a crooked smile.

“Seriously?” Lilian groans.

“She got really into it, huh?” Sophia tells you, amused.

“I recommended it to her, but I didn’t think she’d become such a fangirl.” You nod. “It’s even harder to believe we got her into anime before a certain pair.” You say, eyeing Megan and Emily.

“You and dad keep pushing it on me!” Megan complains. “I’m gonna watch something when I feel like it, not when you tell me!”

“The volleyball one did look kind of interesting, though.” Emily admits.

“Oh yeah!” Katherine nods. “You could watch that one next.” She tells Lilian.

“What’s it about?”

“You see, there’s this small kid who wants to play volleyball…”

“They’re in their own little world again.” Jessica laughs.

“Hey, and why do you have your chest against David’s head?” Sophia asks Olivia, raising a curious eyebrow. “What are you trying to convince him of?”

“He’s saying tomorrow we’re getting together to study. And nothing else.” Olivia sighs.

“Oh yeah, he gets like that for important tests.” Emily nods. “You’re not gonna change his mind.”

“We’ve tried.” Megan nods.

“Remind me how your scores were before I started helping, please.” You tell them.

“…Fair point.” Megan admits.

“Good.” You nod to yourself, satisfied.

With two girls sitting on your lap, doing anything else to your notes is better left for later. You close your notebook and have a look around yourself.

Lilian and Katherine are absorbed in their conversation. It’s amazing just how quickly these two hit it off when Lilian told her she was really enjoying the show you recommended. It’s like Katherine could tell Lilian was stepping out of her comfort zone to get closer to her, and she responded in kind.

Jessica and Sophia are talking about the book that’s gonna be the topic of the literature test. It seems they both finished it already and Jessica liked it while Sophia hated it because the former likes reading a few tragedies and the latter wants happy endings.

Emily and Megan are telling Olivia about that time you stopped in the middle of the act in the shower with them because you felt you couldn’t be wasting time having sex while you had to study.

“I was going through some stuff back then okay?” You add to the conversation but let them continue the story.

And while it warms you heart to see and hear these casual conversations happening, you can’t help but see the glass half empty. Because while these girls are getting along better and better by the day, Olivia, Lilian and Jessica haven’t had the chance to hang out with the working women of the group. The teachers have been very busy with midterms coming and Anzu has been going to a computer software training paid by the school.

You know both sides have been worried about it. You haven’t been able to have your usual and official welcome meeting with everyone. It’s come to the point where your group is so big it’s even harder to get everyone together.

Maybe you’ll just have to settle for small meetings for now? You don’t know, but you don’t want to let this sit for much longer. There’s something important to discuss and you don’t feel comfortable having a romantic relationship with women who haven’t spoken much outside of school matters.

…

Wait!

“David has an idea.” Megan points out, giggling.

“W-What? How did you know?” You ask her.

“Your face always lights up like that when you get an idea.” She says.

“I only started noticing after she told me, but yeah.” Emily agrees.

“What? Oh man, I didn’t see it!” Olivia complains, since he’s behind you. Her chest still against your head, by the way. It’s nice, but it’s starting to become an issue for your crotch.

“So? What’s the idea?” Lilian asks.

“You know how I’m worried about you three,” You say, looking at your newest girlfriend. “Not being able to hang out with… the other four, right?”

“Right.” Olivia grimaces. “It bothers me, too.”

“Same.” Jessica says.

“Well, I was thinking about that thing Ms. Owens said right after class ended.” You say.

“What she said…?” Lilian repeats. Then her eyes widen in realization. “Oh no! You don’t mean…”

“It could work.” You tell them.

“What? What did she say?” Katherine asks.

“David wants us to be the teachers’ assistants.” Lilian says.

“Oh!” Katherine and Sophia exclaim at the same time while Megan and Emily unabashedly start laughing.

“Oh my god! That’d be amazing!” Emily says.

“Yeah, that’ll be the reaction of the whole school.” Olivia sighs. “School bullies turned teachers’ pets. That’ll be a headliner.”

“I’m not against it, though.” Jessica shrugs. “We can see it as another way to make amends. I don’t give a damn if they laugh at me.”

“Are you sure?” You ask her.

“Of course. I only care what you,” She says, looking at the whole group. “and the other four think about me.”

“When you put it like that…” Lilian sighs. “Fine. I’m in.”

“So am I.” Olivia groans and shakes her head. “Ugh. The things I do for love.”

Everyone laughs at the comment, even if Olivia was being very serious about it.

You’ll need to talk to the teachers, but you don’t think they’ll be against it. Hell, they might encourage it.

But other than that, there’s a little something which you don’t know if you should bring up yet to the group. Because it’s related to a little update to the AMA.

Available points: 640 Friendship points / 550 Love points / 700 Lust points

Olivia and Jessica got maxed scores in all categories, giving you more points. Lilian also maxed affection and lust, but not love quite yet.

-Reed, Lilian-
Affection Score: 100
Love Score: 80
Lust Score: 72

Her love score saw a big increase after you had sex with her and over the following days. She’s actually been really sweet, like now that she’s sitting on your lap. If things keep going like this, it’s only a matter of time until her score reaches 100.

And since you usually forget to check after you enter a relationship with a girl, you hadn’t seen Julia’s score.

-Miller, Julia-  
Affection Score: 100
Love Score: 91
Lust Score: 81

You haven’t been able to see her a lot, so while her love score has been rising, it’s been at a slow pace. You don’t doubt it’ll reach 100 soon, though.

But the most important thing is that, no matter who reaches 100 first, it’ll mean 50 more love points. Which will mean…

Normalized Polygamy (600 Friendship Points / 600 Love Points / 600 Lust Points): The holder of this trait can bypass the law of a single marriage partner. They can marry as many people as they want and the unions will be legally recognized and even thought of as a normal exception to the rule. A reward for those who managed to create bonds that will not break!

You have 100 extra lust points. You have that feature that lets you convert points with a ratio of 2:1. You could convert those extra 100 lust points into the 50 love points you’re missing. Yet… you wonder if you should do it. Lilian and Julia are so close to reaching 100 that you feel like it’d be more rewarding if you wait till then. It’s not like you’re in a rush to get married. You’ll buy the trait as soon as you have the points just to show how serious you are, but a part of you wants to wait until Lilian and Julia naturally reach max love scores.

After all, you promised to not get anymore girlfriends. It’d be fitting to buy the trait when all the girls you’ll marry reach 100 love points.

…

Heh. It’s only been a few days and you already know you’re marrying Olivia, Lilian and Jessica. The multiplier is definitely working on you as well, but you don’t really mind.

Why would you? You’re living a dream life.
