"Woah.."
"Whoāre they?"
"Damn, so many beautiful women, whoās that bastard in their middle?"
"Fuck... so jealous.."
The whispers of the crowd entered my ears as me and the girls walked through academy city.
This would be my first time actually exploring the city itself, since Iād been either cooped up in my manor, trying to avoid getting beat up by the old man(Valen), having fun Merking monkeys, or any other activity that didnāt involve strolling the city streets.
But this time, I was helpless, the girls had decided "generously" that theyād take me shopping for new clothes since mine were currently indisposed of, that being slang for
"your drawer has been raided by beautiful loot goblins."
"Haaa...." I sighed as more and more people kept throwing glances our way.
It couldnāt be helped.
Although I looked like a walking corpse since I couldnāt get an ounce of sleep during the night, the girls themselves were radiant and stunning, just as always.
All six of them looked beautiful enough to capture hearts wherever they went.
Yes, you heard right, all six of them, because apparently, Liz had gotten word, somehow, about the shopping spree, and had decided to join in on the fun..
"Hey, ladies, mind if we get a bit of your time?" A haughty, self confident voice stopped our advancing group, as a trio of young men appeared in our path.
"Hi there, Iām.."
"Leaving.." I yawned, rubbing my eyes...
"What?" The leading youth asked, confused.
"I said, you were leaving." I clarified, as the gentleman that I was.
"And, who do you think you..."
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Three blows went out in succession as all three young men were blasted to bits, their lives snuffed out.
"Iām already tired, Iām not in the mood for this shit, you bastard author." I couldnāt help grumbling, not in any mood to entertain the authorās nonsense this time around.
"Pooh, you couldāve at least let them say what they had in mind." Liz pouted.
"And what would you have done with that?" I asked, staring down at her.
"Meh, who knows, I was just genuinely curious." She shrugged.
"Hey! Bastard, what would you have done if you got blood on my dress??" Khalifa yelled..
"Indeed, that wouldāve been quite bad, considering we somehow succeeded in getting your exhibitionistic ass in something that isnāt revealing 90% of your body."
"Hey! Whatās thatās supposed to mean?"
"You know exactly what it means, now stop yelling, youāll give me a headache with your annoying voice!"
"WHAT?? BASTARD!! Repeat that."
"Haaa... when are we going back, Iām already tired." I groaned.
"Fufufu... but we havenāt even gotten anywhere yet, we just left a few minutes ago." Kaila chuckled..
"Few minutes? Why does it feel like Iāve been out here since yesterday? Ughhhh...."
"Donāt worry D, Iām sure youāll survive a few hours not punching something." Melissa tried comforting me.
"I really wonāt Mel, I really wonāt.. canāt I just go back home? You girls can have your little shopping trip." I pleaded.
"No! Youāre coming! After all, how are we going to apologize for taking your clothes?" Kaila was unmoved.
"Donāt worry, I forgive you girls, now can I go?"
"I said no!"
"Ughh... fuck my life..."
........
"Alright Dante, come on out.." Miraās excited voice sounded out, as I groaned, coming out reluctantly..
"Wow!!!"
"You look amazing, D!"
"Humph, the pervert cleans up good."
"Hehehe.. Dante... Dante... Dante..."
The girls cooed as I stepped out of the dressing room, putting on what would be the ninth outfit theyād picked out for me...
"Can I stop now? I feel like an exhibition piece.." I pleaded..
"Nuh uh.. you still have to try on the others." Mira denied me instantly, pointing towards the mountain of clothes behind me..
"You girls are enjoying my suffering arenāt you?"
"Donāt be like that D. Weāre just helping you pick out the nicest ones." Cara answered, eyes undressing me.
"I never said I needed this many clothes!"
""""""WE NEED IT!""""""
It didnāt escape my attention how all of them said "WE" and not Me.
"Donāt worry, enjoy while you can, Iāll get you girls back, I promise."
"Yea, yea, now, NEXT!"
"Ughhh... Fuck my life.."
.....
"Woo... that was great!" Kaila.
"Yea, Iām glad we finally picked out some nice outfits." Mira.
"Indeed, theyāll definitely look good on us.. I mean, Dante." Cara.
The conversation of these demons didnāt escape my ears, they werenāt even trying to hide it anymore, all this was just a charade to get more clothes for themselves, and they said it was for me..
Meanwhile, here I was, carrying a very unhealthy number of clothes, the only good thing being the view I was getting..
"Hey! Why do I have to haul all this shit when you girls can just stuff them in your storage devices?"
"Well how else are people supposed to know that youāre a gentleman, if youāre not being gentlemanly by carrying th load for this many beautiful women."
"Kaila, I swear, one of these days, Iāll get you back for all this." I ground my teeth helplessly...
"Fufufu... donāt be like that D, weāre doing this all for you, right girls?"
""""Right!""""
"Typical.."
"Umm.. girls?" Liz spoke up..
"Hmm? Instructor, something wrong?" Melissa asked.
"Donāt call me instructor, just call me Liz."
"Alright then, Liz, is something wrong?"
"Umm.. I was wondering if maybe, you know, I can help Dante try out some of his clothes too.."
"Oh that? Donāt worry, Iām sure he wonāt mind, right, D?" The girls all turned around, gazes threatening, daring me to say no.
For a brief instant I was tempted to do it, then I realized just how outnumbered I was,
"Fine... itās absolutely alright." I could only agree helplessly.
"Man, what I wouldnāt give to be doing anything else right now, Iāll even take training with the old man over this punishment."
I was in pain, yet I couldnāt complain, not if I wanted my peace.
But, it would seem peace was never destined to be mine as a very troubling conversation drifted into my ears.
"Hey Kaila." Mira called out.
"Hmm?"
"I heard Morvak made it to the 250th floor of the tower like he promised."
"Ohh? Thatās interesting, why are you telling me this?"
"Did you forget?"
"Forget what?"
"You told him youād consider being his woman if he made it passed the 200th floor of the tower, and heās already passed the 250th floor."
"Oh! Did I?"
"This girl. Youāre impossible." Mira shook her head..
"Well, thatās good for him then, I guess?" Kaila shrugged..
"Well, you should be ready, I heard heās coming back soon, and heās coming with the intent to make it official."
"Make what official?"
"Your relationship."
"When did we ever agree on that?"
"Haaa.. you know what? Forget it.. just, never mind.." Mira gave up.
But I couldnāt get that conversation out of my head..
You know that foreboding feeling you get when you just know something was about to fuck up your peace of mind? Yea, thatās exactly what I was feeling right about now...
"God so help me you bastard author, if you fuck up my rest, I swear Iāll fuck you up if itās the last thing I do."
I swore internally, my bad feeling rising when I caught Kailaās smiling face from the corners of my eye...
"Haaa..." I already knew where this shit was going..
Kaila...
Oh Kaila...
If I didnāt know better, Iād have thought the author put her here just to fuck with me...
"Haaa.... Truly, Fuck my life..."
