Bab 34: Chapter 34: Interlude: Date, Kisses and Bonds Forming
"Mmm~ This is so goood~"
I watched as Mylene ate her fruit crepe, humming in delight at the taste of it.
Lady luck seemed to have decided to give me a bonus. Just as the festival was about to end, Mylene came back and agreed to my earlier suggestion of a festival date.
And so, here I was, roaming in the academy's courtyard where the festivities were going on still.
Olivia and Angelica weren't happy that I was leaving them for this and Clarise too seemed a tad disappointed, but it was so worth it. A date with Mylene isn't something I would miss, even I had to leave the other girls. Surely they could enjoy on their own. I wasn't really doing much during their stroll through the stalls anyway.
Mylene had been very peppy and acting like a young girl rather than a lady of her stature when looking around at the various attractions. Looking at her, someone who doesn't know her won't be able to tell that she's the Matriarch of this Kingdom.
"Ooh~ This Apple Candy is also good~!"
I blinked in confusion.
'Uh, when did she buy that?'
I looked at the woman who still wore the same white dress with blue highlights that she wore during our meeting 2 days ago. The dress was open in front, showing a healthy amount of cleavage. The only accessory she wore was a necklace with a thin string and a golden diamond-shaped attachment with a large oval blue gem fit in the middle to it. It was snuggled just above her plentiful assets.
I would be lying if I said my eyes didn't sway to them. Seriously, that open cleavage was just bordering on being lewd. Or maybe my head was in gutter. I didn't care either way as I let the beauty drag me further ahead, looking around at the stalls while either taking a bite out of her crepe or taking a lick of her apple candy.
Once again, my eyes drifted to her lips as she happily sucked on the apple candy, her wet lips glistening from both her saliva and the candy.
"Oh, Leon. This is so much fun~! I never thought the festival in the Academy would be so good!"
Her words brought me back from whatever gutter my mind was swimming in and I couldn't help but return her smile.
"I'm really glad you're enjoying it, Mylene."
The woman blushed deeply at my words, causing me to tilt my head in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
"Th-That… You shouldn't call me by my name. It's rude, you know. I'm very much older than you."
Her blush remained but she huffed in what felt like a mock annoyance. She didn't seem to truly mind that I called her by her name but she had to put up a token resistance still.
"First, you look way younger than you age and seeing you like this, no one would be able to tell your age. Heck, you can pass off as a senior if you dress in the Academy's uniform."
I paused as I thought about that.
'Huh. Mylene in a schoolgirl outfit. That… I wanna see that.'
Before my thoughts could go inside the R18 alley, I shook away that thought and came back to reality.
"Second, we're on a date, remember? It'd be weird if I didn't call you by your name. Besides, aren't you trying to hide your identity?"
Only heavens know how she managed to 'hide' her identity while wearing nothing that'd hide her features. Once again, I feel like the mobs of this world are retarded.
Mylene pouted in response but didn't argue back.
"Heh, pouting Mylene is super cute."
"Awu!?"
I blinked, hearing her strange cry as her blush returned full force and she halted in her steps, now looking at me like a deer caught in a headlight. I paused as well to stare at her in confusion.
"What's wrong, Mylene?"
"C-C-Cute?!"
I smiled.
"Of course. You are really cute, Mylene."
"Hawu~!"
Again, she let out a strange cry and hid her burning face behind her dainty hands to hide her embarressment. I couldn't help but chuckle. Her reactions were funny.
I momentarily blinked, staring at her hands.
'Where did her sweets go though? I thought she was still eating it.'
My thought was cut short as I focused on Mylene and her blushing and embarrassed face. She peeked from between her fingers, her glinstening light blue eyes looking at me timidly.
Seeing this expression on her made something inside my flutter and tick.
How the hell was this woman in her thirties and had kids?
I felt like the world was trolling everyone with her existance.
I instinctively moved a step closer to her, my hands lifting up to capture hers that still hid her beautiful face.
I gently pried them off her face, clearing the obstructions that were stopping me from seeing her gorgeous face.
This woman… why was she so damn beautiful?
I gulped, feeling her throat dry and heartbeat picking up speed.
Suddenly, there were no more loud noices around us. The noice of the festivities feeling distance, like a backdrop. We were no longer in the middle of the street where the stalls lay and instead we were in one of the nearby light forest that the Academy had.
"L-Leon."
Mylene spoke in breatless wispers.
"What… What are you doing?"
Her lips quivered as she took a step away from me. I took one more to catch up to her.
"Something I should have done from the very beginning."
I replied, my mind no longer thinking straight as a strange haze took over me. All I could pay attention to at this moment were Mylene's glistening lips that shined, reflecting bits of evening sunlight that peaked from the treetops.
"I-I'm married, Leon."
She took another step back.
"I don't care."
I took another towards her.
"I have kids. I-I'm old, Leon."
She took another step back.
"I don't care."
I took another to reach her.
"I—"
She tried to take another step back but bumped into a tree. Her eyes widened as she looked back at the tree and then back at me, her expression unguarded and nervous.
"I…"
I took one more step, now entering her private space as I felt her breath hicking up in response and her words no longer coming up from her wet quivering lips.
My right hand dropped the hand it was holding as I raised it to her chin, gently tilting her face slightly to look up at me rather than looking down. Despite her being over twice my age, she was smaller in height than me.
"Mylene."
I called, causing her eyes that had been looking away to look straight at me. Her flushed face somehow gained another shade of red. She raised her hands up and placed them on my chest, but rather than pushing me away, her hands simply stayed. She didn't resist. And that made my smile wider in delight.
"Leon."
She half-spoke, half-whispered my name.
I looked at her eyes that were moist, looking at me with a mixture of trepidation and another emotion that I couldn't put into words.
My left hand reached around her waist and pulled, further reducing the distance between us. Now her plentiful breasts were squished in between herself, her hands and my chest. The necklace she wore still hugging to her skin, somehow adding to her charms.
My gaze momentarily drifted to the supreme view of the cleavage I was getting from this angle.
When I looked back up at her, she seemed much more relaxed for some reason.
"Leon…"
She spoke in that quiet tone, her words feeling like a call to me.
Mylene was calling for me. Giving me a hint through just that one word. Even now, when we were so close, her hands continued to remain on my chest and not once did she even attempt to push me away.
That meant she was fine with this, right?
I could take her, right?
My actions grew bolder as my heartbeat increased. I brought her even closer to me, now her breath tickling my chin.
"Leon…"
"Call me Ian. My name is Ian."
In this moment, where I was so close to her and was about to cross a line from which I wouldn't go back, I felt it was fair that she gets to call me by my real name.
"Ian…?"
She spoke, her tone both confused and hesitant.
Hearing her melodious voice say my name, I felt my excitement rise.
I leaned in, my vision zeroing on her inviting lips.
*ding dong*
"…Ian…"
I ignored the noise and the call as I relished in the soft and sweet taste of Mylene's lips, my right hand now on her warm cheeks to pull her closer to me and my left hand caressing her slim waist and slowly drifting down her glamorous curved towards her darier.
"Mmm~"
Mylene moaned in response, her voice muffled by our kiss.
*Ding Dong!*
"Ian…"
The voice once again called for me, but I ignored it once again, lost in the flavours of Mylene's lips. She tasted like apple candy and blueberries, probably because she was eating them just a little while ago.
We separated momentarily as Mylene gasped for air, her face now truly flushed and her expressions misty. She looked so lost, somehow, yet there was also a pleased and excited aftertaste to her expressions as she stared at my lips.
"Ian!"
*Ding Dong!* *Ding Dong!!*
I frowned, feeling slightly miffed at the voice and even more at the annoying sound that accompanied it.
"Haa… Haa… Ian… I… "
Mylene tried to speak, but her breaths fell short as she breathed deep.
Seeing her expression, I couldn't control myself and once again latched onto her lips.
This woman… she's mine now. To hell with the kingdom and the fucking King. I wouldn't let her go ever. She's mine. Mylene is mine!
I kissed her rougher, causing her to moan in response as my hand clasped on the plentiful flesh of her rear and squeezed, eliciting a loud moan.
What little sanity I had left was gone as my lust took over me and I ravager her lips, sucking on them to my heart's content.
*Ding Dong!* *Ding Dong!* *Ding Dong!*
"Ian! Are you there?"
"Hey, get up, sleepy head."
I heard Olivia's voice, followed by Angelica.
"Ugh."
I groaned, feeling annoyed at them for disturbing my time with Mylene.
"No."
I spoke, hoping they'd listen to me and go away. I had Mylene to do.
I turned my attention back at Mylene who was grasping at my collar and trying to pull me back to her.
"Kiss me more, Ian~"
She spoke with such an expression of love that instantly caused a certain member of mine to rise up and give an absolutely rigit salute.
"Fuck, Mylene…"
I used my thumb to pull her chin down, causing her lips to part. Seeing the opening I immediately dove in, my tongue enters her mouth and finding her own to mingle.
"Hey, Ian~!"
"Geez, wake up already!"
*Ding Dong!* *Ding Dong!* *Ding Dong!*
I groaned, this time louder as the Mylene in front of me started fading.
"Nooo…. Mylene…!"
I panicked, watching her figure fade away along with the surrounding trees and land—
…
I woke up with a loud groan, my vision half covered by a long pillow that I seemed to be holding on to tightly and smooching.
I gulped, feeling up throat parched but my mouth wet.
"Ian?"
*Ding Dong!*
I groggily looked towards the door, my mind still numb. Then I turned towards the pillow that I had been holding on to like it was Mylene.
My still numb brain tried to put two and two together but somehow failed.
"Urgh! Son of a—"
A cuss barely escaped by lips, instead converted into a groan as I threw the stupid pillow away and stood up, dropping the messy blanked away.
Right now, at this moment, I was feeling really, really frustrated and annoyed.
With my mind still numb and my vision groggy, I walked up to the door and opened it with a sleepy grunt.
"Oh, Ian! You're finally up."
"Goodness, you took so long to—"
I grunted 'intelligently'—and certainly not like a Neanderthal— not giving either a proper response as I looked at both of them through squinting eyes, my eyelids feeling heavy and aching as if I had been sleep deprived for a month and then woken up in the middle of the night.
That certainly didn't help as my annoyance at the two innocent blondes kept rising.
'The hell? They're not speaking.'
The two girls in question instead kept looking down, not speaking further.
'Annoying. I was… with Mylene, damn it.'
Why did they disturb if they didn't have anything to speak?
Grunting in anger and annoyance, I reached out with both my hands and grabbed the two blondes.
"Eeh?"
"Huh?"
The two girls cried in shock as I pulled them inside the room and then slammed the door shut with a grunt, instantly regretting as the sound felt like a hammer blow to my head.
"Fuck. Damn door. Damn everything."
I grunted and turned to the two who had disturbed my time with Mylene.
"What's the matter? Why did you—mn?"
"Shush."
I grunted and made Angelica quiet with my index finger before she could annoy me more with her questions. I was in no mood to answer stupid questions.
"Punishment."
I declared before letting my finger fall after I was sure Angelica was silenced.
"Eh?"
"What?"
The two spoke in confusion.
"You disturbed my kiss with Mylene. Punishment."
I intelligently answered with a grunt.
Before they could reply, I pulled Olivia, causing her to lose her balance and stumble towards me. Her hands landed on my chest as she looked up at me in surprise. Thankfully I didn't use too much force that could hurt her. I had that much control in me somehow.
She opened her mouth to speak but before she could, I put one hand on the back of her head and pulled her in.
"Mng!?"
Her words turned muffled as her entire body froze.
I didn't care, instead, I grasped her waist and slowly my hands roamed on her curves, finding a good place to rest them.
It had skipped past my limited attention but Olivia wasn't wearing her usual Academy uniform attire. Instead, she wore a simple but fitting dress that hugged her curves nicely. My hands could easily make out her nicely developing figure from her dress and I could taste her lips that didn't have the same sweet taste as Mylene's but still felt very soft and nice.
After an unknown period of time, I let her go, feeling somewhat content.
I didn't wait to observe her flushed face after I let Olivia go and instead, my somewhat groggy vision zeroed in on Angelica who stood still, staring at us with wide eyes and an open mouth.
My eyes narrowed in on them, her lips having a certain shine to them, like Mylene's. Remembering those glistening lips, my legs carried me to their next destination automatically.
"Wh—L-Leon? What—Mn?!"
I put my finger on those glistening lips, feeling their softness and wetness.
"Ian. Call me Ian."
I spoke, almost commanded Angelica. I wanted to hear my own real name right now. Not one given to this body.
"Say it."
I nudged her when she didn't reply and simply looked at me in bewilderment.
"I-Iwan?"
She finally spoke through my fingers on her lips and I hummed in appeasement— the feel of her lips moving on my fingers felt quite nice—before pulling her in and planting a kiss on her lips as well.
Unlike Olivia, she spluttered and put up a token resistance which lasted mere seconds before she melted into the kiss and before long embraced my head as she responded to my actions with her own.
It lasted longer, longer than my kiss with Olivia, I think, but I had to separate from her when for some reason I felt a strange killing intent directed towards my back.
My mind sharpened momentarily and my vision cleared as I quickly glanced around my surroundings, trying to find the source of it but as quickly as the intent came, it disappeared.
'Huh?'
I scratched my head in buffudlement before shrugging, my mind not feeling very appeased at having to put so much effort into thinking and absorbing information now that I sensed no imminent danger.
My eyes began to slowly droop as I felt the quiet sirens calling me back towards the bed.
But before I could answer their calls, my vision fell back to Olivia who was looking at me with a strange mixture of emotions. Her face was still flushed but her eyes were somehow moving in between a state of embarresment and a strange dead blank stare.
I couldn't wrap it around my head and my mouth spoke before my mind could fully process it.
"You wan' more, Livy?"
I asked the blonde who responded with a fierce blush and a stutter.
"E-Eh?! I-I-That… Um… y-yes?"
I didn't hear a 'no' and I'm not sure but I think she agreed—it was hard to tell at the time— so I simply shrugged, closed the distance between us and gave her another smooch in hopes that it will keep her happy. Olivia was adorable and I liked it when she was happy.
Why was I angry at them again? Why would I ever be angry at my cute Livy?
Livy was not one who'd push for dominance in such things or put any resistance. She easily accepted any advancements I made to her. So, when my hands drifted to her head and rear, she didn't do much but shudder and push her body towards me, becoming putty in my hands. Her cute moans were pleasing to hear as I relished her lips. For a moment I forgot everything and only Livy and her lips mattered.
After a long time, I finally separated feeling content and hopefully the same was true for my partner. I was about to head to my destination, the holy bed that seemed to sing melodies and beckon me—I think I saw Mylene wrapped in nothing but blankets calling my name seductively and beckoning me with her dainty fingers—but my eyes caught Angelica staring at us from a side glance, her face flushed but somehow looking sad.
"Uh…"
After some jarbled thoughts that didn't even make sense to me, I nodded, having reached some conclusion I didn't know myself and then moved towards my next blonde target with purpose.
I wanted to sleep soon. Mylene was calling me, ya know? I couldn't deny her request. Not when she was all naked and ready.
So, I had to finish my business!
... What was my business again?
Reaching my fidgeting target, I pulled her into another embrace. Once again she put up a token resistance but with only some words before she melted into my embrace. I gave her a small smooch, before separating and going for a proper dive.
Angelica's lips had a taste. It was sweet. So, it was nice to suck on them, and feeling her warm body in my embrace was pleasant. My hands, out of my control, roamed her body, feeling the contours and her silky soft dress that slipped through my hands like water. Finally, they landed on her rear and started fondling and molding them like dough.
Angelica had a really nice ass. One my hands were happy to molest and caress.
The moans my ministrations caused were just the cherry on top. Angelica had a really seductive voice. What little leaked in between our making out sounded enchanting to my ears and I wanted to hear them more and more.
Alas, all good things had to come to an end.
I separated from Angelica, letting her catch her breath as her face was now fully flushed and her expression somewhere between lewd and beautiful.
Now satisfied with my work, I huffed in pride—pride at what, I didn't fully know at the time—and went to give my third and final companion what it wanted from me, a full body hug to my lovely bed.
'I'mma make out with Mylene… Don' wake me up…'
Letting the girls know of my intention in my head—because of course they could read my mind—I landed face first into the pillow and my vision soon darkened as my consciousness drifted to another dreamscape. I was feeling very content right now.

-Eris-
She watched in her cloaked form as the two blonde girls whom her Captain and Owner liked to hang around with looked at the lying figure of said Captain.
They stood around like that for minutes, staring at the still and barely moving figure that was now lightly snoring into the pillows.
…
"What… just happened?"
Angelica finally broke the pragnent silence as she turned to look at her fellow blonde in both bewilderment and a hint of… nervousness.
The said blonde however continued to remain standing still, her fingers touching her slightly parted lips, while her eyes were still glazed. She looked as if her head was in another realm, imagining something that Eris could possibly point out but didn't bother. But it most certainly involved Ian.
"Um… Livia? Hey."
Angelica slowly walked towards Olivia and gently shook her awake from her daydreams.
"E-Eh?"
Olivia turned to look at Angelica in surprise.
"Um, d-did you say something, Angie?"
Angelica stared at her friend with a wry smile as she nodded.
"Yes. I was… well, you know…"
She pointed at the snoring figure of Captain.
"Wondering what just happened."
"Ah."
Olivia's flushed face turned redder as her hand travelled, almost instinctively, towards her soft pink lips.
"That…"
She glanced at the Captain once and then at Angelica and then hid her face behind her palms in embarrassment as her temperature rose a few degrees.
"Awawawa~ Ian… he… k-kissed me… This is… Awuuu~!"
Olivia writhed and whimpered in embarrassment and—Eris noted— a fairly large hint of excitement and happiness.
Angelica couldn't help but chuckle warmly, looking at her friend's strange but adorable plight. But she wasn't spared from the strange feeling of embarrassment, glee, and nervousness either. She too sported a healthy blush on her face, though it was much more controlled when compared to Olivia whose face, ears, and even neck had turned a shade of bright pinkish red.
For a moment, Angelica secretly touched her lip. A smile comparable to a Summer sun blossomed on her face but was soon dulled as her eyes turned to Olivia's still writhing form and her gaze turned complicated.
Eris had a large collection of data that talked about human psychology, behavior, thought processes, and actions/reactions. Even if it was made by Old Humans(Homo Sapiens) by studying their fellow Old Humans, those studies were surprisingly relevant even for the New Humans of this world. She'd observed thousands of New Humans in her time with Ian. During that time, she'd observed their actions and talks and found many similarities that they possessed with their past enemies, the Old Humans.
So, Angelica's reaction didn't slip past Eris's observant and analytical gaze and she could deduce that she held feelings for her Captain, feelings that were festering and blooming at unprecedented speeds from recent actions taken by her Captain.
But Angelica seemed to also feel complicated by her own emotions as she believed that Ian and Olivia shared a bond deeper than a simple friendship, and she didn't want to come in between them. But another part of her felt sad that she couldn't have such a deep bond and wanted to refute it.
So, she was both happy and enthused about her friend's cute reactions and also feeling guilty and complicated because she didn't hate what Ian did to her. No, as her fingers caressed her lips and her smile returned, she most certainly didn't dislike it.
Eris's sensors picked up the rapid increase in Angelica's heartbeats that were somewhat similar to what Olivia experienced when Ian made his move on them in his… curious state.
Eventually, Olivia calmed down enough to have a proper conversation, though she would blush every now and then and glance at the eloquent form of her Captain currently still passed out and snoring. Eris sighed—metaphorically, as she didn't have the instruments for that in her current spherical form, and shook her head—again, metaphorically—at his state. She pulled up a certain virtual screen with some information written on it as the two blondes started to converse about their emotions.
"I don't know why but… it really made me happy, Angie. It… It was my first kiss and I'm really happy that it was with Ian."
Olivia meekly spoke with a blushing smile.
Angelica smiled at her, feeling genuine joy for her friend.
"I'm happy for you, Livia. Even if he was acting weird just now… I think he really cares for you and you two will make a great couple."
"C-Couples?! Awu… T-Thanks, Angie, but I…"
Olivia was about to continue but she suddenly paused as she realized something and her expressions turned nervous and complicated.
"Oh, he… he kissed you as well, though. Do you… Do you like Ian too, Angie?"
Angelica jolted at the question and her face went through a series of emotions before she smiled wryly. She wanted to deny it at first, judging by her looks. But Olivia's changing expressions which went from curious and nervous to understanding and solemn made her realize she couldn't say that. She couldn't lie to her friend. Not right now. And even if she did, a part of her would probably realize that it was just that, a shoddy lie. Her feelings won't change now that Ian's bold actions have aroused them in her.
"I… I don't know…"
Her smile turned watery.
"I don't… I don't want to hurt your feelings, Livia. You don't deserve it. You're my best friend and I don't want to sour our relation by coming in between you and Le—… Ian."
She winced slightly, catching a hint of a lie in her own statement, even though she also meant what she had just said.
Olivia looked pensively as she stared at the now downtrodden form of Angelica who looked down in embarrassment and guilt.
Eris offhandedly noted as once again, her expression turned hollow and she looked at Angelica with dead-looking eyes. Those vacant, lifeless eyes were something the girl very rarely and secretly showed, subconsciously. In fact, this was the second time she had seen her make that expression. How curious. Not even her Captain had noticed them. Because if he did, she was sure he would be deeply unsettled. They were in stark contrast with the otherwise very kind and gentle image of Olivia. Well, that or he would find it amusing. Her Captain was a strange person after all.
Eris pondered briefly if Olivia suffered from dissociative personality disorder but left that thought for future analysis as she continued her work and simply observed the girl's actions.
Olivia's feet moved as she closed her distance with Angelica who was still lost in her guilt and grief and didn't react to her approach. It was only when she reached close enough that Angelica noticed Olivia's legs, then she looked up in surprise to see Olivia's expression and froze, unable to say anything. In that movement, Angelica felt vulnerable and scared.
Angelica could see it, the gentle and kind Olivia smiling at her sorry form.
"It's okay, Angie. I don't think I could ever hate you for that. I know Ian is amazing, he's unlike anyone I've ever met and he's very kind and helpful. I… I don't think someone so plain like me deserves someone so exceptional like him in the first place."
Olivia's expression turned gloomy towards the end but her smile remained.
Angelica however quickly rebutted.
"No, Livia! Don't ever think like that! You absolutely deserve him! He truly does care for you and he'll never refuse you. I haven't known you two for as long, but I know that for certain. I can see it in his eyes, he truly likes you."
She spoke with sincerity and that finally caused Olivia's expression to once again turn cheery and determined.
"I see. Then, I too think you deserve him just as much!"
Olivia replied with earnestness, causing Angelica's eyes to widen.
"That… But—"
She seemed to want to argue, but couldn't when she was enveloped into a hug by her fellow blonde. Olivia then spoke, her voice sincere and determined.
"Angie, I don't mind if it's you. If… If you love Ian, I don't want to fight with you, and neither do I want you to go through what you did with His Highness and Marie because of my feelings. I also don't want to lose him… I… I love him, Angie. I love Ian. He's changed my life ever since he met me and has done a lot for me. He means a lot to me, and I want to make him happy in turn."
Her last words were spoken quietly as her body shook and her eyes turned misty with tears.
"I don't know what I'd do if he left me…"
Angelica, who had been stunning until now felt the vulnerability of her friend and promptly hugged her back, embracing her friend with as much comfort and warmth as she could propagate with her actions as she rubbed circles on Olivia's back.
Olivia soon mellowed down and tightened her hug as well and the two remained silent and still.
"I could never take him away from you, Livia. I'd sooner die. And I don't want to lose him either."
She morosely stated as she continued to rub circles on her fellow blonde's back.
"But… yes, I might be in love with him as well. I realize how cliché it sounds. He's the one who saved me when no one else did and offered me his and your company. It was because of Ian that I am feeling so safe even after the whole mess with His Highness and it was because of him that I met the kindest and nicest girl in the whole world and became good friends with her."
They both smiled at those words, unknown to each other.
"And even though I realize all that, I can't help it. The emotions that he caused in my heart, I tried to suppress them but I don't want to. Not now. I… I do really like Ian, Livia. And I want to be loved by him."
The two stayed silent after that, feeling comfort and solace in the warm embrace of each other as they felt their face warm up in embarrassment but also feeling happy. There was no awkward silent and no ill feelings between the two who continued to hug each other. They both felt relieved now that they'd stated their secret desires to each other, one bubbling for a long time and one that had erupted today, and both radiated joy, acceptance, and warmth.
Eris watched the entire scene in silence, never interrupting, only recording.
Possible future blackmail purposes.
Inspired by her Captain, she too had started to collect materials in her free time. There was no ill-will, she simply thought it was apt to have a few 'future blackmail materials' of her own. She'd let the captain know of it if he ever enquires. If not… oh well.
She wondered how her Captain would react when she showed him what he did in his current state and maybe even show the repercussions of it if it could lead to amusing reactions.
She closed the virtual screen where she had listed some private experimentation results.
[-FUN SIDE PROJECTS BY ERIS-
Attempt #113 at creating Superior Alcohol
Date: XX/XX/XX
Note 1: The current sample of the Alcohol 4A3c made from artificially grown berries from greenhouse no. 3 tastes good. (Confirmed by Captain himself during his testing last night)
Note 2: Able to intoxicate even 'high leveled' people. (Confirmed)
Note 3: Lack of the usual aftereffects, a.k.a., hangovers?
(Yet to confirm as Captain went back to sleep; However, he didn't show signs of a normal hangover.)
Note 3.1: Though it might increase the drinker's libido. (Observed from Captain's physical reactions afterward. Observations show that Captain's underwear was uncomfortably stretched this morning, leading to some interesting reactions from his two female companions. (*Recording of the whole event is saved in the secret Homework folder*))
Note 3.2: Inhibitions reduced in users and possible lack of self-awareness? (As shown by Captain the following day when he carelessly flashed to Angelica and Olivia without care and proceeded to make out with them both while grunting like a Neanderthal)
Note 3.3: Possibly induces wet dreams as well. (Suggested by Captain in his sleepy mumbles)
Note 3.4: Makes users sleepy. (Possible use as a sleep-inducing medicine?)
Note 3.5: Possibly induced pheromones in others nearby? (Doubtful. It could easily be attributed to Captain's actions rather than the effects of the alcohol's tiny remains on his mouth and lips)
Note: 4: …
…
…
…
Afternote 5.6: Dilute the alcohol solution by at least 20 times before giving it to regular people like Olivia and Angelica.]
As she went back to checking her main systems and doing some other things she'd be tasked with, Eris idly wondered what Captain would do now that he had (somewhat unintentionally) wooed both of his female companions.
Whatever it was, her high-definition cameras were ready to record it.
For educational purposes. *Ahem.*

PERTIMBANGAN PENCIPTA 
The_POZ
The_POZ A/N: Alright, I might get tons of complaints and criticism in this chapter. I know what mistakes I made here. I do and I can’t fix them. This chapter wrote itself. And I didn’t have the heart to delete it once I finished it. We’re talking about 5.6k+ words here, people. It takes time to write and then rewrite it twice and then edit it! So, we’re keeping it.
I had this chapter written days ago but didn’t post it because I wasn’t sure about it.
Anyway, that aside, the entire first half with Mylene (Yes, it was all a dream. No, I’m not sorry for the blue balls and ideas that may have been conveyed from it. So, sorry, but you guys are not getting any Mylene lemons yet. For obvious reasons.) was inspired by a cover art I saw from the festival arc volume on Mangadex. I wrote the entire section just by that one picture alone.
Whatever followed after that… uh… it was… not planned obviously. And I might not have been in the best state of mind and I might or might not have let a different brain (not the one upstairs) guide that entire scene. Oof. I deserve any criticism for this sort of shoddy writing, but fuck it, I’m still keeping it and posting it. This is canon now, bitches. I’m not even gonna call it an Omake or whatever and play it safe.
I’ll deal with the consequences of this chapter. Somehow. Probably… Maybe… Gosh, someone tell me I’m just overreacting here and that this chapter isn’t as awful as I think it is.
Fuck, this is why I desperately need some beta/proofreaders.
Anyway, hope you guys still enjoyed the chapter, despite the heavy-handed “romance” (bitch, that’s not romance) it had.
See ya in the next chapter. Bye!
