"Sombra, for the twentieth time, I'm sorry for snapping earlier."
He was on his way home now and Micro had pretty much been apologizing since he left the woods and his AI still refused to talk to him. She didn't even record his training with Frida for him! That was a double blow to him since he couldn't review to look at mistakes and he also didn't have shot of Frida's breasts bouncing around!
"I was dealing with bears for crying out loud! Can you blame me for being a bit frustrated. I was barely able to block out my fear."
"Still didn't have to tell me to shut up," Sombra said. Micro sighed.
"Sombra, you are an invaluable partner and someone I rely on greatly. I am sorry for barking at you like that. Please can you tell me how the designs are coming along?"
Sombra appeared in his glasses and looked him in the eye.
"...Fine," she relented, and if Micro wasn't mistaken, she appeared to be blushing at his praise. "So far the nature areas are laid out completely. If you are correct in being able to create any natural layout, things should be good."
"And the buildings?"
"I've been trying to figure out where to put the smaller house. I was thinking the forest and surrounding it with dead trees. Of course I just mean the plot of land. Presumably we will have to build the building ourselves."
Micro nodded and once again hoped that his training in nature magic would progress to growing trees soon. While he could buy whatever material he needed, he had a few issues.
One, if he went to a simple supplies store, they wouldn't have all he needed.
Two, he would raise plenty of suspicion if he bought them from through normal means.
Three, Game Theory was right. If he flooded the economy, it would be a disaster. That's where the Chaos Auction came into play. They had whatever he wanted and they had business across the multiverse. He could spend more money than his universe had 100 times over and they would still be able to divide it up without crashing any economic systems.
That being said, he still didn't want to spend money on stuff he could make easily himself, even if his funds were unlimited.
"And the rest?"
"Most of your gift areas are completed, but you still have to figure out ones for Chara and Silver. The main building is planned, but can be altered if you wish for further additions."
Micro just thought to himself as he entered his lab.
'Silver...Maybe a library? She seems bookish. Either way I need to spend more time with her to decide. But Chara… how the hell do I not have any ideas for her?!'
He then realized exactly why, and it made him feel like shit.
Ever since she got her body, he's been busy with other things. His other girlfriends. His training. They had yet to go on a real one on one date together. Besides combat, he had no idea what her interests were.
'Well it's time that changed.'
Micro raised his hand and broke the ID.
"Chara," He called out. "You here?" A clone looked up from its project.
"She hopped into an ID for a bit of training."
Micro nodded. She had said she didn't want to fall behind him.
After dungeon diving with Shiro, Micro had gained a few levels. Four to be exact. That had boosted his and Chara's combined luck up to over 100, resulting in another perk.
Lucky Strike
-Higher chance of secondary effects triggering from attacks
-Higher chance of criticals
The panty powers were a bit underwhelming. Vinyl's increased one's dancing ability, while Octavia made it easier to play instruments. Micro was going to chalk those up as useless, until he discovered a few other things on the Chaos Auction and ideas began forming.
Finally, he had examined Scootaloo's panties and was happy to discover…
Due to reaching Lover's Status with Scootaloo, panty power is unlocked.
This time (and he assumed it was boosted because of the lover status), it was a 100% boost to DEX. Granted it was applied before any other boosts but still. His DEX was now at a whopping 152. He smirked as he realized that means he could start using Frida's technique.
But in any case, Chara was now four levels below him and she did not like it.
Micro waited for a while before she came out. He smiled, seeing she was two levels higher than before. She was in her Black Cat outfit.
"You've been hard at work," he said. She smiled at him.
"So have you. Wanna join me?"
"Actually...I have another idea." He took a deep breath and hugged Chara close. "I haven't been a good boyfriend. I've neglected you. We do nothing but train together while I go out with Scootaloo and even (tried) to have a date with Silver."
"Yesterday-" Chara started.
"Yesterday was a group date, and I sent a clone on it. I mean a date, just the two of us. I don't even know your interests really."
Chara looked at him. She hadn't expected this, but she saw the sincerity in his eyes. Smiling, she spoke.
"I love you Micro. Training and everything is our bonding time, and I love spending it together. But...I guess there is a place I want to show you."
Downtown
Chara and Micro laughed as they walked the street. Micro was still wearing his normal black jeans, but had switched his button up for a black muscle shirt and a navy jacket. Chara was in a yellow tank top that left her midriff show a bit and a green skirt.
They talked about a lot more than just training. For one, he learned that while Asriel picked up magic from their mother, Chara picked up gardening from her father. Micro made sure to make note of that.
"So you really like fantasy?" He asked. Chara chuckled and her eyes grew a little misty.
"Asriel and I always played fantasy games. It helped that he knew some magic from mom and dad. Though I guess since we can live it now, it's less fantasy and more reality."
Micro felt a little sick. He still believed he just pulled her from an alternate universe where the genocide happened, but he still felt a little guilty about killing them in game.
"Chara…"
"We're here," She said, joy returning to her voice. Micro turned and saw...an abandoned warehouse.
"Ummm…"
"Just walk up to the entrance and when you see a screen, say 'I'm ready to party.""
Micro raised an eyebrow, but nodded. He stepped forward and a screen popped up.
Password
"I'm ready to party."
The image of the warehouse before him shattered and in its place now, was a neon lit night club. He could here music pumping inside and a slight bit of fog slipped under the doors. A bright sign announced it as "Partier's Paradise."
"What the…" Micro muttered. Chara smirked at him.
"I found this place one day when I was bored and went for a walk around town. It's a club exclusively for ability users. They don't care about age here for the most part."
She lead the way up to the door where a blonde, burly man stood.
Bulk Biceps
(Bouncer)
Lv 50
"Hey Bulk," Chara said.
"Back already Chara," the man said.
"Yeah. My boyfriend wanted to take me out tonight so I thought I'd show him this place."
Bulk turned to Micro who grinned at him.
"Oh boy. You know some of the regulars…"
"I already told those bozos I was taken and what would happen if they tried anything again," Chara said. "And if they go after Micro, they will find him more of a challenge then they think."
Bulk just sighed.
"Just try not to break anything tonight." Chara just smiled and walked toward the doors as Micro began following her. Bulk held out his arm. "Sorry kid. Have to demonstrate an ability first."
Micro looked at the big burly guy, and decided to mess with him a bit. In an instant, female Micro appeared and was leaning forward, letting her cleavage show.
"This enough for you big guy?"
Bulk blushed and stammered before nodding and Micro shifted back to normal. Walking past the bouncer, he took Chara's arm and lead her into the club.
