Hero work studies aren't necessary to do every single day. It's more of a part-time job, or maybe a full-time job and there's only a couple of days or so a week where you have to come to work.
(A/N: I'm a NEET, I don't know how jobs work. Leave me alone.)
Eh? Doesn't that mean I don't even have to be separated from Toru all that long in the first place? Well, when I told her that, she started crying anyway, so I couldn't do much.
I mean, look at her! Every tear that falls is a year of my lifespan completely gone! Not that I'm sure I have a life span anymore in the first place. I mean, I grew up from a child into a teenager body, by my cells are always in their most optimal state due to the [Gamer's Body] ability so I don't know if I will ever die from old age.
I'm sure I will, logically, but the fact that I'm doubting it is a little troubling. Anyway, I'm going off-topic again. Right, work studies! Yesterday I did the whole pranking routine with Toru and ended up getting backstabbed in a brutal betrayal.
I also notified Nejire that I couldn't do the work studies under her. Because I also gave her a neuro linker, I told her through a video call (she was taking Ochako and Tsuyu to the hero she's working under today so I couldn't tell her face to face).
And then she also started crying. I was really conflicted, I mean, what was I supposed to do? Call Rumi and telling her I'm dipping so I could spend more time with another girl?
Hell no, I'd die. Or rather, my "son" would die, though, to me, that's not any different from actual death.
So I ended up promising Nejire to let her ask anything of me once. Immediately after, [Sixth Sense] told me I would regret it but it's not like I could say "sike" and be done with it.
*Sigh* Kazuma-sama, I am straying further and further away from your teachings…
So yeah, anyway, today is the first day of my work experience. I only left at noon. Most of the guys from the class sent me off, Toru as well, but I didn't see Momo anywhere. I'll ask her later.
So anyway, I got into my car that was waiting for me outside of school and Jarvis drove me out of the city and took me to the city where Rumi is currently acting.
An hour or so later, I finally arrive at yet another hotel (she got kicked out of the last one for the noise we made at night) and entered.
Going up the elevator, the doors open and I walk up to Rumi's new room. Without knocking, I open the door, and due to a random thought, I said the following words:
Arata- "I did not hit her, I did not…"
I look up, and I see a familiar face.
Arata- "Oh hi Momo."
As expected of my WIS stat, I spontaneously spout memes in very suitable situations. Kind of a bullshit use of my brain cells, but I'm not exactly complaining.
But anyway…
Arata- "What are you doing here?"
Momo- "Ho, I can't be here, is it?"
… She's angry, isn't she? I just have that feeling. Right, from now on, don't piss her off.
Arata- "What? No. I'm happy you're here. I was just curious."
I close the door behind me and Momo, who is in her hero costume, unfolds her arms that were supporting her voluptuous chest and walk away with a huff. Well, at least I didn't make things worse.
After Momo walks away, Rumi, who is also in her hero costume, walks out from the corridor that Momo disappeared in. She sees me as her eyes light up. I just point in the direction she came from.
Arata- "What's up with her?"
Rumi- "Well, if the man I love made arrangements with another woman that also loves him without telling me, I would also be pissed."
Ah, I fucked up didn't I. Why does my WIS stat work with memes but when it's something important it just gives up? What did I do to you?
Arata- "Ahh… Guess I'll spend today with her then…"
I say, scratching the back of my head.
Rumi- "Well, I don't mind, as long as you sleep with me tonight."
Arata- "Half the time we've been together has been nothing but sex, is our relationship ok like this?"
Rumi- "Hey, I can't help it! My rabbit physique keeps making me go into heat whenever I'm around you."
I don't know whether I should be happy or sad about that information. I'm just a portable aphrodisiac to Rumi?
My [Poker Face] skill seems to have given out at this point because for some fucking reason, Rumi knew exactly what I was brooding about, walked up, and hugged me. Of course, I'm still only 16 so my head is enveloped in her boobs, but that's a good thing.
Rumi- "I love you as much as you love me. Trust me."
I look up into her eyes as her ruby red eyes stare back down into me. [Sixth Sense] is sending my emotions to hers as she sends her emotions to me in a constant loop. Just staying like this… it's not bad.
But we have work to do, unfortunately.
Rumi broke off our hug and walked back into the corridor.
Rumi- "I'm going to go look for the other lass. You get ready as well. We're leaving on patrol in a few minutes."
Arata- "Speaking of which, why is Momo here in the first place?"
Rumi- "Oh, well, she's also doing her work studies under me."
Saying that she disappears down the hallway.
Arata- "Oh ok… EHHHHH!?"
Rumi, the first person you would think of when you say "solo", actually took someone under her for the work studies!?
Well, I mean, I'm also here… but I'm an exception!
Half an hour later, I'm walking around the city with Momo to my right. We're both in our hero costumes, I'm in my nanotech MOVAL suit while Momo is wearing her own hero costume which I practically begged her to wear a cloak over.
No one is going to look at my woman in skimpy clothing.
Rumi is off doing her own thing, she doesn't like walking around on the streets. Don't get me wrong, it's not that she doesn't like interacting with other people, nor is she camera shy, but she works better jumping from roof to roof while listening closely to any sound that might indicate a crime.
The worst thing is that Momo's still not talking to me.
Arata- "…"
Momo- "…"
Arata- "… Sorry."
Momo- "For what?"
Arata- "For not talking to you about getting a job under your love rival."
Some people who heard our conversation looked at Momo with pity and then looked at me like I was some kind of shit. Hey, it's not that bad!
Momo's tense face relaxed a bit after I completely confessed that I was wrong. I don't think she'll completely forgive me any time soon, but it's a start.
…
Should I also confess I'll be sleeping with Rumi tonight?
While I was contemplating that, I felt something bump into me on my right leg. It's just a harmless tap to me, so reflection didn't activate, but I look down nonetheless. What I see surprises me.
Wearing a worn-out bland dress and bandages covering her arms and legs, with red innocent eyes and pale blue-grey hair, the little girl is in the process of falling down after bumping into me. I quickly reach out and put my arm around her back to stop her from falling.

A/N: Ok, ALOT of you guys want to bring MC's harem members along with him when he goes onto the next world. But even so, some of you guys want MC to live his full life with his harem members and let them die.
I, personally, want the second option to happen. Have the MC live a fulfilling life with his loved ones and when all his harem members die, he will also "die" before moving on to the next world.
(I don't mean emotionally die, I mean he will fake his death before leaving)
So I am going to say this here... *inhales*
I will do neither and both at the same time. I will have MC go ahead of them to see if it's safe to travel throughout the multiverse/if the world they're going to is safe. Remember this will only be his first... second time doing this. (Used [Kaleidoscope] as a soul to get to the MHA world while trolling ROB, remember?)
Unfortunately MC will have some trouble and be unable to return to his loved ones for a while. I will let them reunite, don't worry! As for when... If I say anything, I'm scared it will become spoilers. You'll just have to wait and trust me. I apologise to anyone who doesn't want this to happen but I believe this will make things much better.
ALSO! I havent done a stat update in a while, I havent forgotten, it will happen after this arc.
Let me know if I missed anything!
Also consider dropping a power stone!
