Chereads / Multiversal: The Shop / Chapter 73 - Alaya

Chapter 73 - Alaya

In the dining room inside the house, there's me, Ai right beside me, Bocchi in who is at the opposite side of the table and bedside her is Mitsuha.

And behind us, are the Hoshino twins or Barthomeloi twins, it doesn't really matter which, however there are different consequences.

If you choose to call them Hoshino beware of Lorelei hearing you call them that, if you call them Barthomeloi you have to add Lord/Lady if not, then you're dead if Lorelei hears about it.

No one calls the great Barthomeloi without respect, her words not mine.

We've been like this for a few minutes now and it's becoming unbearably awkward, at least for the girls on the table.

Honestly, I'm very grateful for the fact that Lorelei needed her beauty rest or else this would become more awkward than before, and there's also Shirou who isn't dense enough to not know what's going on.

He left quietly with Lorelei. If I didn't know any better they would have an intense makeout right now above us.

Because I'm confident they won't do it in my house, especially filled with peopl-

Wait, did someone just casted a silent bounded field..?

I looked above and thought. 'Yeah, there's no way they'd do it here, Lorelei casted this bounded field so that she could sleep soundly. That must be it, there's no other explanation.'

I was in denial, there's no way my brain would think that my sister is that perverted..

Then a treacherous thought appeared in my mind. 'Then again it's those rich-class ladies who are absolute freaks in bed.'

Speaking from experience, anyway let's forget about this treacherous thought and focus on explaining what happened these few days.

Meanwhile above the dining room,

"Reinforce it right now." Lorelei demanded.

"But it's dangerous..! It might explode if I can't control it.." Shirou fired back.

"Do it. NOW." Her tone says no room for negotiation.

With a sigh, Shirou did what he was told and thought. 'Maybe Archer was right, this is hell I'm walking into.'

"Trace on..!" He chanted.

After that they proceeded whatever deed they were currently doing.

(A/N: PLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP! GET PREGNANT! GET PREGNANT! XD sorry, I can't stop myself.)

"Let's get this over with, to avoid further misunderstanding-" Before I could finish my sentence, Mitsuha suddenly interrupted.

"Is it a misunderstanding that you, in fact, have children?"

"No, it's not."

"So there's no misunderstanding of what you said a while ago."

I let out a sigh and replied. "You know I wasn't talking about that…"

"Look, let me explain without interruption, if you rudely interrupt me again I will kick you out of my house." I glared at Mitsuha's direction and that immediately shut her up.

I nodded in satisfaction and then I looked at Bocchi. "Hitori, listen this person beside me is Hoshino Ai, she's my ex a few years ago, back then I didn't know she was pregnant with the twins."

Hearing that, Bocchi's eyes widened and replied. "T-then you aren't…"

"If you're thinking that we're dating or even engaged, no we aren't." I answered while Ai nodded although a bit reluctantly.

Bocchi let out a sigh and said. "I-i thought you…"

"Cheated? Not quite, if I wanted to start a relationship with other girls I would let you know first." Although I'm a bit guilty of flirting with Ai.

"I see.." Her relief was visible for anyone to see, honestly I'm quite surprised by her positive reaction, normally when you find out that your loved ones have a secret love child and you didn't know about it until now.

It is normal to lash-out as it is a justified feeling or being betrayed, while my circumstance wasn't exactly the same as the explanation, the fact that she accepted this quite easily isn't normal.

Does D have to do with this?

If she does, damn she literally mindfuck Bocchi's brain without her realizing.

"Wait, wait did I miss something..?" Mitsuha said feeling out of place.

"Miss what exactly?" I urge her to specify, although I know what she's trying to say.

"Like what do you mean by 'cheated'?"

"Oh, it's exactly what it implies, I'm dating Hitori." I replied, technically no one other than knew about this pseudo harem relationship between us.

Mitsuha's eyes widened and then looked at Bocchi then to me and exclaimed. "WHAT?!"

"Not so loud! There's children!" I scolded her, even knowing that the 'children' weren't children at all.

Aqua and Ruby couldn't help but roll their eyes as they realize that I'm using them as an excuse to scold Mitsuha, not that they say anything about it, they're toddler they aren't supposed to talk.

Mitsuha quickly said. "Sorry, sorry I was just surprised.."

She said in an almost whispering tone.

Then she continued and looked at Bocchi. "Still…you two are dating. I didn't expect that at all.."

Hearing that Bocchi's shoulder dropped. "I-i know…y-you most think i-i'm worthy of b-being a relationship with Alex…i-i understand.."

Mitsuha blinked and quickly said. "What no! I didn't say that! Also you shouldn't think badly of yourself, as Gōto-san, you might not be aware but you're cute, many guys would date you!"

Technically Mitsuha isn't wrong, Bocchi is in fact cute, not to mention that killer body of hers, those matured curves definitely most men would try to feel them if given a chance.

But the problem is, the world isn't perfect despite being gifted with an amazing curvy body by mother nature.

Her personality is in fact, ruined things for her, not in a bad way, she's just bad at social communication.

If that wasn't the case, she would have no doubt become popular, like her dream.

"R-really..?" Bocchi preen a bit from the unexpected praise that came out from Mitsuha's mouth.

"Yes, in fact Alex is very lucky to have you." Mitsuha said as she pointed in my direction.

She isn't wrong again, to weebs and otaku in general, someone like Bocchi is a natural treasure to them.

I wasn't an exception to that rule, so yes I considered myself lucky really, if Bocchi has a bit more outgoing personality in her bones, she would no doubt have a few boyfriends at this point of time.

Suddenly that depression she had before completely disappeared and now, her face was like a slime, she got that stupid grin on her face.

It wasn't that hard to please her, although being exposed to too much social interaction may or may not cause her anxiety.

"Is t-that so..?" Bocchi's body started moving in a weird way, it's like she became a humanoid slime.

If I didn't know any better, I would have thought Bocchi unknowingly tapped into the realm of true magic, because the things she could do are downright bizarre even though she isn't a magus or a magician.

The issue was somewhat sorted, Bocchi had no real issue after knowing that I didn't cheat, however it wasn't the same with the rest, I wasn't blind I could see it.

Mitsuha is a bit more jealous than usual, not to mention the not so subtle glances she was giving him.

There's also Ai, who was wearing her fake personality to hide whatever feelings she has right now.

This has become quite complicated, but it isn't something that I couldn't fix, it's rather simple really. I just need time to talk to them, which is something I was supposed to be doing if it wasn't for the fact that Archer is calling me.

Since he's my employee and the shop's nature, he has a way to communicate with me, the manager and the owner directly, however for him to call me suddenly this must be important.

It should be important, after all Emiya isn't the type to call without any reason.

"Hello, is there a problem?" I went straight to the point.

[ Ah, yes there is. ]

The problem isn't the shop, I know because it's literally impossible for anyone to do something to it, so it must be a customer problem.

I could see that there's currently a single customer inside my reality marble, as for who and what they are I have no idea.

I could only tell the numbers, not the information about the said crowd.

"And what is it?"

[ Well, I think Alaya is here and she's demanding to see you.. ]

I could sense the disbelief in his voice.

"Eh?" I was dumbfounded at his claim.

"What do you mean Alaya is there? Also why are you unsure about whether it's her or not?" It makes no sense at all, Emiya worked for Alaya for eons and it would be strange that he, her former janitor could recognize her.

[ You know what just get here and you'll understand. ]

And I did exactly what he said, as I'm quite curious why Emiya of all people couldn't recognize his former boss.

As soon as I went inside the shop it didn't take me long to realize why Emiya could hardly recognize Alaya.

You must understand that Alaya doesn't have a body, despite her known gender she is simply a formless entity that doesn't have any physical form.

And right now, the entity named Alaya is now in front of me, having a physical form, a living breathing body.

No wonder Emiya looked confused, as Alaya right now is no different from any human being except a bit too beautiful, but then again she is the representation of humanity as whole it is expected.

Then as soon as she saw me, she quickly approached me and said, "You, it's you who took my servant! You shall pay for this!"

Okay, this is going to be a long day I could tell.

Alaya is here!
