Chapter 22 - Home

When the light dimmed down, Xylvia, Leonna, and I were in a familiar looking room. We were also greeted to a familiar pair of boobs pressed against our faces, though it was mostly pressed against mine.

"I'm so glad that you're ok!" Gleam said.

"It's great to see you too Gleam." Xylvia said.

"I feel the same way." Leonna said.

"Please put some damn clothes on!" I said a little annoyed.

Gleam eventually let us three go. As annoyed as I was, I did like the soft feeling of her boobs.

"I heard from a doctor that lived in a forest say that you two were suddenly teleported away," Gleam said. "I was a little late on getting the message, but I'm glad that you're ok!"

"It's a good thing that you were a little late," I said. "Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get to Xylvia."

Gleam ran to Xylvia and hugged her again.

"I'm so glad that you're ok! I'm so sorry!"

"It's ok," Xylvia said trying to get her to stop crying. "I'm perfectly fine."

While Xylvia and Gleam were having there heartwarming reunion, Leonna tapped me on the shoulders.

"What is it?" I asked her.

"You know...I...I don't really mind...being the mistress." she said rubbing her hands together.

"Ehhh...n-now is not really a good time to be talking about that," I said. "A-And I'm not saying no, it's just that...umm..."

"I just want to be with you," Leonna said. "We don't have to get married or anything, we can just be together. I'm perfectly fine with you marrying Xylvia."

"HUH?!!!"

Xylvia and Gleam turned their heads to face me.

"What are you guys talking about over there?" Gleam asked.

"Look Hiro, all I'm saying is that you can marry Xylvia. I won't get sad or mad about it. I just want you to think of me in a romantic way as well."

"Please stop talking." I said.

I wanted to get this situation under control, but Xylvia suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled it to her.

"And what makes you think that I'd be willing to share him with you?" Xylvia asked Leonna.

"Wait, what? But you said that I could be the mistress." Leonna said.

"No, all I did was ask Hiro if you were the mistress. I was just playing a joke on him. Besides, does Hiro feel the same way to you as he does to me?"

Leonna and Xylvia looked over at me as if they were expecting the answer to be what they had in mind. To be honest, I don't really know how I feel about Leonna. I knew that I was in love with Xylvia. I also knew that I cared about Leonna a lot, but I wasn't really sure about seeing her in a romantic way.

"Let me protect you."

Those words echoed in my head. Those words were what brought me back to my senses when I was screaming in agony. She helped me so much. Seeing her determination and bravery amazed me in so many ways. I felt my chest tighten. I wasn't really sure if this was true, but my chest felt the same way it did when I started to have feeling for Xylvia.

"I...uhh...I do feel something for her," I said. "I don't think I'm in love with her like I am with you Xylvia, but there is...something..."

They both seemed satisfied with my answer. Xylvia hugged me and said "I love you too" and Leonna smiled as tears streamed down her face. Then, Leonna suddenly ran over to me and hugged me tightly. Before I even reacted to it, her lips met with mine once again. The kiss, however, was much different than the last one. It was different because her tongue was intertwining with mine.

"Mmmmphh?!! Mmphh?!"

"Mmmmhh! Mmmmph!"

I was surprised at how...passionate Leonna had suddenly gotten. When she finally pulled back, we both started breathing heavily.

"H-How's...that," she asked. "Do you...like me...even more?"

"W-Well...that did...help..."

"My turn." Xylvia said.

Before I could react to what she said, Xylvia's lips met with mine. Her tongue was intertwining with mine in a very soft way. I wasn't as surprised with this kiss, so I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her passionately as well. After a few moments of kissing, we backed away to catch our breaths.

"Hey, no fair," Leonna pouted. "You wrapped her arms around her."

"That's because she didn't surprise me as much." I said.

"You need to learn the basics." Xylvia said.

Leonna groaned and hung her head low like a sad dog.

"Mind if I have a go?"

I turned my head to see Gleam's face extremely close to mine. Her lips met with mine. This one surprised me the most. Not only was a goddess kissing me, but she also fell to the ground. I was on top of her while she wrapped her arms and legs around me to keep me in place. This overwhelmed me o much that I tried to break free, but Gleam's grip was way to tight. What made things worse was that she was completely naked. I felt hands grab onto my back and pull me away from Gleam's hands.

"Are you ok Hiro?"

I turned my head to face Leonna with a worried loon on her face.

"I am now," I said. "Thanks for that."

"What the hell are you doing," Xylvai asked Gleam in a shocked tone. "Relationships between humans and gods are forbidden!"

"I know that much," Gleam said. "I just got jealous because you two were having all the fun."

Xylvia and Leonna sighed. I just sat down looking dumbfounded.

"Hey, I have a question." I said to Gleam.

"What is it?" Gleam asked.

"If you teleported us out of that castle, then how come you didn't teleport Xylvia out of there?"

"I'm not very sure myself," Gleam said. "I tried ma y times to get her out of there, but I couldn't do it."

"Maybe it had something to do with the chains that restrained her." Leonna said.

"Well either way, it sounds like these enemies of ours shouldn't be taken lightly." I said.

"That's true," Xylvia said. "If they found a way to use magic that affects even the powers if a goddess, then these guys must be incredibly powerful."

"Well, worrying about it won't do us any good," Gleam said. "You three will just have to get stronger than them. I can't fight against them because of the rules, but I know that you three won't even need my help in stopping them. I believe in you three, especially you Hiro. I know that you can lead this world to the right path."

"You're kind of putting a lot of pressure on me." I said.

"Don't worry Hiro," Leonna said. "I said that I was going to protect you, so that's what I'm going to do."

"And I'm going to fight alongside you," Xylvia said. "We're partners after all, so we have to stick together to the very end."

"Thanks you guys." I said.

"Are you ready to go home now Hiro?" Gleam asked.

"Send is three back to the forest," I said. "I still have a lot of training that I need to do."

"Very well then," Gleam said while summoning a blue magic circle. "Good luck you three."

With those final words, a bright light engulfed the three of us once again. The light grew brighter and brighter until Gleam and the room of the palace disappeared.
