Chapter 19 - Aftermath | Slice of life

After the not so small show Kai had displayed and followed by the somewhat heartwarming skin contact between Kai and the four girls he was then confronted by mama Mia demanding him to pay for the damages he caused and fix the destroyed room.

Kai in the face of mama Mia's intimidating aura he just smiled amicably and with a raise of his hand a magic circle emerge out of thin air then the destroyed room slowly fix itself returning back to its former glory as if the destruction before there eyes was nothing but a figment of an Illusion.

'This bastard is showing off.' – Mia thought.

"Sorry for the damage, commotion and problem I've caused you ma'am Mia…"

Kai bowed deeply.

He's truly sorry.

He also respected people like Mia someone who've face great hardship just to reach such level of power.

Moreover, Kai can vaguely tell that mama Mia is certainly caring towards the girls of the pub treating them as if they were her own daughters.

Seeing Kai bow before her mama Mia couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

'Is he trying to get my favor. That doesn't seem the case though. He's too sincere to be aiming for that.' – Mia thought.

/Tch/

"Just call me mama Mia just like the others."

She wanted to find a fault on Kai but after seeing the respect and sincerity on those golden eyes of his made her reconsider.

'At lease my girls isn't going to be woo my some random bastard out there.' – She thought as she took the steps downstairs a small smile emerge on her face.

'I need to pay her back somehow. Right I should be able to create that thing. I hope she'll like it.'

/That's a story is for another./

"Guys have you calm down." – He said looking at the four girls that have yet to let go, clinging to him koalas.

He sighed, then he heard someone…

/Sniff/ /Sniff/

"Kai is a moron to make us worry." – Chloe fake a sniffing façade.

Knowing that Chloe is trying to make him feel guilty to initiate a scenario where he is forced to play along with her pace Kai grinned inwardly.

Out of nowhere he gave her a kiss on the forehead and with the most amicable, cute, pitiful and sorry expression he could master he said.

"I'm really sorry Chloe I promise that something like this would never happen again."

He followed up by gently caressing Chloe's soft hair like a master taking care of his cat.

/IN A LITERAL WAY/

Chloe was frozen still, her face turned completely beet red.

She could feel the gentle warmth coming from Kai's caresses.

"I… I … K-Kai you dummy… meow…"

She ran off unable to contain her embarrassment.

She earned her reward but she lost the battle.

Just as Kai thought it was all over.

"How about me?"

Syr looks up to Kai giving him an innocent look.

Kai felt all the hairs on his body stood up.

But his heart melted to her PURE and INNOCENT sight before him.

'The tactic I've used on Chloe surely wouldn't work to someone like Syr, she might even use that chance to her own advantage.'

Kai thought looking Syr straight to the eyes.

'What a scary girl.'

He thought again after not being able to see through Syr.

He did not bother using his mind reading ability to her again.

He wants to maintain his impression of her.

'A cute and innocent girl that desires affection.' – The lie.

'A obsessed horny girl whose always in heat.' – The truth.

"SYR STOP FLIRTING, GET DOWN HERE AND GO FETCH SOME CUSTOMERS, WE WILL BE OPENING AGAIN…"

Mama Mia's loud voice reverberated throughout the whole establishment.

'Nice save mama Mia!'

Kai was jumping in joy inwardly but on the outside he showed a sad smile to Syr.

"Maybe next time miss, Syr."

Syr/Freya knew what's running through Kai's head and she couldn't help but chuckle.

She find Kai's personality very appealing and refreshing.

In the face of four beauties desire by many Kai did not show any signs of lust.

Freya can easily pick up such signals.

Sensing no lust coming from his confused Freya a bit but after accepting in her mind that's he is different from the other and mustn't be compare to such detestable individuals Freya's impression of Kai increase drastically.

Her desire to be with him is just growing as the time passes by.

Syr was about to leave when Kai stopped her tracks.

Out of nowhere Kai gave her a gentle pat on the head.

"Can this do for now."

Kai smiled at Syr/Freya.

His smile this time is genuine.

"…" Syr/Freya was dumbfounded.

He got her.

Seeing Kai's gentle smile replaced by a grin she knew she was played.

"This guy…" – Freya cannot come up with a word to say.

She wanted to rebuke Kai but…

What should she say to get the upper hand.

"Mama Mia is calling you. Better hurry up…"

Ryuu and Tessa already broke from his body.

Kai held Syr on the shoulders, making her face the staircase.

"Good luck…"

"…"

For the first time in her life Freya couldn't come up with a word to rebuke or oppress someone.

The feeling is foreign to her.

"SYR FLOVA, WHERE ARE YOU?"

Mama Mia's loud voice calling for her snapped Freya from her shock state.

She looks back at Kai smiling gently.

'This guy… is something else…'

For the very first time in her life she doubted herself whether she could win against him.

This is the second time she experienced a first time in her long years of life. : }

/You perverted animals reading this story don't you dare have lewd thoughts./

/The Next Day/

--- Kai ---

Stepping out of the hostess of fertility I felt the comforting warmth of the sun passing through my face.

Its currently [7:00 AM] in the morning.

The sunshine was reflected onto my skin.

I must say this world is a hundred times better compared to Earth.

In my opinion.

The refreshing feeling of nature just puts a smile on my face.

The air also feels a thousand times better compared to Earth.

The only thing lacking about this world is technology.

But if one thought about it deeply technology is one of the primary reasons for the Earth's slow crumbling.

Sooner or later due to its own inhabitants the once beautiful world would cease to exist.

My thoughts were wandering around when a familiar voice called me.

"You're in a good mood today, Kai." – Ryuu like the wind appeared beside me and with a kind smile she handed me a hot coffee.

"Good morning, Ryuu. You should not have bothered yourself…"

I awkwardly received the coffee she handed me.

"Don't worry I'm not forcing myself to act this way."

She's sharp… as expected of a level 4, no this more like a woman's intuition.

I looked at the pub behind us and there I saw Loraine giving us a thumbs up, a wide grin on her face.

She's probably the one who advice Ryuu to accompany me here.

How supportive of her.

After what had happened yesterday the pub continued its daily activities.

The customers returned.

I was then introduced to Anya, May, Loraine and the other staff members of the hostess of fertility.

But before that mama Mia gave me a stern warning to not seduce more of her girls.

And I can tell she's serious about it.

Hell being handsome is a sin.

I didn't even personally made a move.

The girls themselves, Ryuu, Chloe and Syr approached me and things just turned out like that.

Damn… S rank charm.

But charm doesn't have a passive attraction effect or mental effect on other only pure natural beauty.

I guess I'm just this great.

Done with the introductions.

Mama Mia made a false gossip about what had happened upstairs saying that a cockroach had scared off one of the pub customers.

And to whom she meant by the customer she was referring to me.

Damn now people think I am a clown.

I even got tease by the pub customers when I ate the night prior.

Either way thankfully I'm new to the city and none really knew me except for the girl in the pub and they knew exactly what happened.

The idea of me being afraid of a mere cockroach dumbfounded me but anyway at least they concealed the information about what they saw.

I can tell from the moment I laid my eye to the people of the hostess of fertility they can be trusted.

Most of them… except one.

The only one I cannot fully trust is Syr.

Not because I hate her or anything.

Out of the four girls that have captured my interest I can say Syr is the most devoted one.

She can be trusted when it comes to secrets and I can confidently attest to that.

I am more concern about her real self than the persona she's letting out.

I cannot truly trust her unless she shows me her true self and not the one she shows on the outside.

I hope she trusts me first and opens up to me.

"Your thoughts are wandering off again." – He must be thinking of other women.

"I'm just trying to recall what had happened yesterday." – Her womanly intuition is scary, better be honest.

I hate being misunderstood.

--- Ryuu POV ---

'Ah so he's thinking about yesterday, yesterday sure is scary just what are those rings?'

'Asking him about it would be a breach of privacy we aren't closed enough to share such deep secrets.'

'But I hope will be closed enough someday where we can share our secrets'

'Right yesterday I also hugged him, I touch a man on my own volition.'

'Huh… what am I thinking?'

'Sigh, it seems I really did fall for him.'

'What would Alise and the other thought if they were to know this.'

'Gale falling in love to a man he just meet for the first time.'

'They'll surely tease me nonstop, I missed them.'

'But compared to other guys he's the most descent I know.'
