Chapter 314 - 314 The Boys: A Dance With Kimiko, Cate and Annie loose in town, and Stormfront annoys Maeve.

Allen returned to his apartment after an exhausting day, knowing it had been a good idea to accompany Butcher in case anything went wrong.

At home, Kimiko was alone, engrossed in a Korean drama she seemed to enjoy a lot. Allen sat down beside her, and despite her instincts, she hadn't noticed his presence. He placed his hand on Kimiko's hip and drew her closer. It was only then that she became aware of Allen's actions, but her reaction was not what one might expect—whether anger, embarrassment, or surprise.

Naturally, Kimiko curled up next to him and continued watching the drama.

"Welcome back, Allen... Annie and Cate went to the mall..."

"Oh, thanks Kimiko... It's good to be home."

There was a sense of defeat in Allen's words, but it didn't matter. Kimiko remained absorbed in her show, and Allen didn't want to interrupt her interest. In fact, he was glad Kimiko had developed an interest in something. She had already shown an interest in makeup, and over the days, she began to take care of her skin, hair, and face every morning. It was hard to believe that the beautiful Kimiko once gave off the vibe of the girl from The Ring.

Once the scene where the villain is shot and falls slowly while background music plays comes on, Kimiko looks up at Allen.

'Are you okay?'

By this point, she was already resting on his lap.

"A little tired, nothing important, Kimiko..."

Allen brushed Kimiko's hair. She was surprised by this action; they were not in that kind of relationship. However, it was common for Kimiko to seek physical contact with him.

While it could be just a way for her to relieve her traumas by connecting with someone who had never hurt her and who made her feel safe, it was clear that Kimiko didn't dislike Allen.

This time, Kimiko was caught off guard because Allen was the one taking the initiative. Since the night he spent with 2B, Allen had been less hesitant in his interactions with the women around him.

Kimiko remembered that Allen had held her by the waist earlier and blushed.

'What are you doing?'

"I'm combing your hair with my fingers," Allen said with a smile. "Isn't that okay?"

Kimiko turned back to the TV without responding, but her attention was no longer on the screen.

"Kimiko, why do you like K-dramas?"

Kimiko was stunned by the unexpected question and didn't know how to respond.

'I don't know...' Kimiko looked at Allen. 'Maybe because, unlike reality, the stories have happy endings and the bad guys always lose...'

"I see..." Allen stood up while Kimiko was confused by his actions.

Allen smiled. Kimiko had only known the negative side of the West, but like any part of the world, there were both good and bad people.

Allen stood up and placed his hand over one of the sofas in the center of the room, and it disappeared. In its place, a wooden record player appeared.

"Have you ever danced?"

Kimiko was in shock at the sight of things appearing and disappearing. Allen turned toward her as his casual clothes changed into a suit.

"Will you grant me this dance?"

'What?!'

Allen's smile grew mischievous. "It's boring just watching other people's romance. How about you have some fun too?"

Kimiko didn't understand what was happening, but she was captivated by Allen's eyes and unconsciously extended her hand.

Allen guided her to the center of the room, and everything around them transformed into a ballroom. After spending several days in this world, this apartment had been "taken over" by Allen, so there were no restrictions on his powers inside.

Kimiko felt disoriented as her clothes also changed into an evening dress. She had no time to process everything happening; it was too surreal, and that was saying something for someone who was used to strange occurrences.

[You can dance

Every dance with the guy

Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight

You can smile

Every smile for the man

Who held your hand 'neath the pale moonlight]

The music started. Allen placed his hand on Kimiko's waist and held her hand high. She didn't know what to do and simply felt adrift.

Allen made Kimiko spin on her feet and then led her across the room, making her retreat.

[But don't forget who's takin' you home

And in whose arms you're gonna be

So darlin' save the last dance for me]

Kimiko's eyes were wide open, unable to react, while Allen laughed and guided her around the room. Kimiko bumped into a flowerpot, and it fell to the ground, but Allen just laughed.

Kimiko started to smile at the absurdity. A beginner couldn't dance well, but Allen didn't mind and continued guiding her around the room as various vases and objects were knocked over.

[Oh I know

That the music's fine

Like sparklin' wine, go and have your fun

Laugh and sing

But while we're apart

Don't give your heart to anyone

And don't forget who's takin' you home

And in whose arms you're gonna be

So darlin' save the last dance for me]

Kimiko had never enjoyed anything so much. When she looked at Allen, he was smiling softly at her. She blushed and remembered that he was holding her at that moment.

Kimiko felt strange and could no longer tear her eyes away from Allen's, losing herself completely in them and having no desire to recover her soul.

...

Allen was not streaming at the moment, but the system had started the stream and began broadcasting Allen seducing Kimiko. Of course, he would deny this claim.

[Hello everyone, I'm Allen's editor. You can call me Miss S. Allen is a bastard, leaving girlfriends at home while shamelessly flirting with a new woman. Feel free to curse him out.]

Gwen – That son of a bitch never took me dancing.

Ivy – He's like wine... but remember that too much wine is bad for your health *Ivy squeezes her legs, pretending to be indifferent*

Harleen – He's very handsome, but that's all *She's spilling her coffee without realizing it*

Raven – The music, the atmosphere, a handsome man who's only looking at you... It's hard to stay calm, and I'm not even there...

Kara – That bastard... he has no limits *Blushing and angry*

Barbara – *Sighs*

Starfire – I don't understand anything, but it looks fun hahaha

Donna – Tsk, damn b**

Emma W – Sometimes it's hard to believe he doesn't do it on purpose hee hee

Harley – Now do you understand why Daddy is Daddy?

Rebecca – *Gasping* Horned girl, could you pour some ice-cold water on me?

Nokotan – Sure~ *Opens her own head and pulls out a glass of water, pouring it over Rebecca*

Bocchi – 'What's going on? Why are they doing that?!'

Rebecca – 'Oh, thanks. If I don't, I might jump on Allen hahaha!'

Bocchi – *Blushing*

Artoria – 'He really becomes more dangerous with age *Slight smile*'

2B – 'Detecting an anomaly within me *Jealous*'

...

Annie and Cate had gone to the mall; two young girls couldn't stay cooped up in an apartment. The night before, Allen had given them their necklaces and explained their functions without hiding anything: a shield, a security teleport, a tracker capable of alerting Allen if they were in danger, and a new regeneration feature in case of injuries, as well as protection against mental and spiritual attacks.

While they were out, Annie noticed that Cate was still very cautious about touching anyone, even by accident.

"Don't worry so much; we've made it this far without any problems."

"Thanks, I know I don't need to be so nervous, but I can't help it…"

Cate was slowly trying to get used to people. She knew she was just being paranoid.

"Damn it!" Cate slapped her own cheeks. "I'm tired. Let's have some fun!"

"That's the spirit! And I have this!" Annie pulled out a black card.

Allen had given them this card but lied, saying it was a reward from the police for catching several traffickers wanted by the FBI and Interpol. Of course, it was Allen's money, but if he had said so, Annie wouldn't have accepted it.

Even so, Annie didn't seem very comfortable accepting money if she intended to help the women without expecting anything in return. Allen had convinced her that it wasn't too much money and that if she wanted, they could donate half to charity.

Annie reluctantly agreed, but the next day she seemed quite willing to spend that money.

Cate's eyes widened with curiosity. "So, it's a reward? How much money do you have?"

Annie thought for a moment and didn't know. She could check an ATM but decided to just have fun.

"Cate, how about we shop until the card is declined?~"

Annie's voice was full of excitement, naively believing that they would only spend a few thousand dollars at the most, unaware that the card was linked to Allen's personal account.

"Haha, great!"

The two girls ran through the mall, and as expected, they entered a clothing store and began looking at various dresses, skirts, blouses, jackets, tights, shoes, accessories, and even lingerie.

Cate picked up a red dress that exposed the back. "Do you think Allen would like this?" Cate joked.

She had always worn clothing that covered her body entirely, never having worn anything like skirts, sleeveless blouses, or dresses. But since she didn't have to worry about anything like that with Allen, she could try on a dress.

Annie smiled. "Go for it, and add a couple of bikinis too; you'll look great!"

Cate grinned and grabbed a very sexy black lace lingerie set. "What about some lingerie for you?~"

Annie blushed but then thought about whether Allen would like it. Throughout her life, her mother had urged her to wear conservative clothing and behave impeccably.

Annie began looking at some sexy outfits too. Some would be embarrassing to wear on the street but for intimacy...

Cate whistled as she looked at the clothes Annie was picking out. Cate also added a few lingerie sets to her pile, but she hid them among the other clothes, fearing Allen would scold her for being too provocative.

Both girls, partly due to their resentment towards their lives, piled up clothing without any sense of moderation.

"We went overboard, Cate, haha."

"That's right~"

The girls laughed, and at least it was fun trying on different clothes they wouldn't have had the chance to wear. However, they regretted that Allen couldn't join them.

The store employees began sorting the clothes and calculating the total. They were efficient, and Annie felt bad for making these women work so hard. Cate smiled a bit awkwardly for the same reason.

It was uncomfortable, but Annie handed over the black card, prepared to apologize.

The cashier smiled. "The total comes to $472,000... everything is correct. Would you like us to ship the clothes to the billing address?"

"Ah, yes..."

Annie answered automatically, still in shock.

Neither of them realized the amount of money they had spent. Annie was a small-town girl who always lived with integrity. Cate had lived a sheltered life, so they had little knowledge of expensive brands. They had ended up in a high-end clothing store.

Annie left the store while the saleswoman politely saw her off. She immediately called Allen in a panic to inform him that they had spent nearly half a million dollars on clothes.

Allen was not in a position to answer his phone. Annie, who usually worried about weekend supermarket deals, was now panicking.

Cate was just as anxious. "Annie, will we be sued for spending too much?"

"Don't worry, Cate, it's not a credit card... but we should go back."

Annie wasn't thinking clearly or would have just returned to the store to cancel the purchase before it was shipped.

...

Allen had finished dancing with Kimiko, who had sweat trickling down her neck while looking at Allen with a flushed face and a big smile.

It is said that the world has a way of balancing good and bad things in a person. While Allen's luck with women is terrifying, his bad luck with money is legendary.

As Kimiko went to get water for both of them, Allen checked his phone and saw several messages from Annie and Cate. Many were photos of them trying on different clothes, including a few selfies of Cate in lingerie taken secretly.

"That small..."

[Host, should I delete those photos...]

Allen smiled with a shiver and followed the system's advice. After that, he saw a notification from the account he had opened in this world.

Kimiko approached and offered water to Allen. Allen smiled and took it. After a sip, he checked the contents and saw a payment of nearly half a million dollars into his account.

Allen spat out the water and started coughing.

Allen still didn't know that the system was secretly streaming, and people saw the bank notification.

McDragon – He deserves it! Hahahaha

Tony – Hahaha, I can imagine what happened. Don't worry; I once spent three million on two models!

Hulk – Hulk doesn't understand, but Allen's face is hilarious!!

Gwen – Divine punishment, I suppose...

MJ – Hahaha, nothing better than spending money to punish a womanizer!~

Felicia – I can just imagine what happened with the duo of naive girls spending without knowing, hahaha.

Kimiko patted Allen's back as he composed himself and glanced at the notification. Allen tried to calm down but seemed to find it difficult.

"It's fine... I'm okay, it's not that much really... I'm just not used to spending so much all at once…"

Kimiko looked at Allen with concern. 'What's wrong?'

Allen showed her the notification, and Kimiko was stunned. She then dropped the phone. Kimiko had lived in a small town before being kidnapped by the Rising Sun, who, by the way, were responsible for her gaining powers.

When Cate and Annie returned, Allen was nervous about scolding them, but to their surprise, he greeted them with a smile. Still, they remained on edge, anticipating their "punishment."

...

At Vought, Maeve was filming a commercial. Despite her current displeasure, she had no intention of quitting her job at Vought.

Maeve was in her dressing room and had just sent the recording of the Seven's meeting to Allen. He hadn't requested it, but she felt strangely happy doing this and decided to do it on her own, even if it involved the risk of being discovered.

Maeve was called out only to run into Stormfront. She was talking on her phone while recording, she was on a live stream.

"Hello, Your Majesty~"

"What are you doing?"

"That's obvious. I'm streaming. Appearing in commercials, TV, and radio is quite outdated. We're in the age of streaming and social media. Don't you know how to make a TikTok or Instagram story... unless Your Majesty is too old to understand?"

Maeve felt an urge to tear Stormfront's head off. It was clear Stormfront was trying to start a fight on her stream to boost her numbers.

Maeve stared at Stormfront, knowing they would never get along, so she turned around and left. Stormfront clicked her tongue, seeing she wouldn't be able to provoke Maeve so easily.
