"No," Yusuke said, "I've only known her for a few days . What does that have to do with anything?"

Clyde held up a hand, veins full of frustration . He was nearly raped into a game over . Yusuke wasn't getting out of this so easily .

[Quest: take Ruri for yourself . The special abilities at your disposal will put you at a new tier of power . Reward: unknown . ]

The option to accept or decline didn't appear . What the f.u.c.k, System? It didn't appear to be mandatory, which relieved Clyde . Now he had to open the eyes of…

"You dense motherf.u.c.ker," Clyde snapped, air-chopping both hands in Yusuke's direction . This G.o.dd.a.m.n trope . "Are you being serious man?"

"Clyde I already told you—"

"Harumi," he said, cutting off Ruri . "Is it just me?"

"Of course not," Harumi said . "I thought so too . "

"Me too," Natalia said .

Undine laughed, then clapped her hands once .

"I get it now . My husband, your new friend liked you . "

Clyde felt the breath go out of him as he widened his eyes . Everyone grew silent, attempting to comprehend . Kitome trembled . He stole a glance from Ruri . She held a neutral expression . Undine continued . "I took him for husband a couple of days ago and he's been such a sweetheart . He wants to be all tough, but I funnel that aggression inside of me every night . " She giggled . "I kicked the detective out—she could see me you know . I'm afraid I'm not the sharing type, but for you, Ruri, I can make an exception . Second wife . We'll need a bigger bed though . "

Kitome finally exploded .

"My brother's not married to anyone," she snapped . "For f.u.c.k's sake, he just turned eighteen . He's got an entire life ahead of him and I'll be d.a.m.ned if I let some stupid monsters make claim over his life . "

"Age, such a human number, but eighteen is perfectly acceptable," Undine said . "He's a man, an adult . You're only a year older than him and not his mother . Though I plan to get her approval when Yusuke and I find a place to live . "

Yusuke was sitting, facepalming . Undine continued to make things worse . "Ruri's welcomed of course to join us . And you, sister-in-law," she hugged Kitome . "I want to get to know you . "

"Let me go," Kitome said, but couldn't get out of her embrace .

"I see," Clyde said . "None of this is human custom, its monster girl j.i.z.z . And you took Yusuke for husband . " He looked at Yusuke . "I'm pretty sure you can handle two—"

He felt the hand grab and drag him outside .

"You will listen to me," Ruri said with venom in her voice . "I know what you're trying to do, but I already told you whom I'm compatible with . And do you honestly believe I'll put up with that…thing? Canines and spirits cannot live together, you moron! Dense… It's the pot calling the kettle black . "

"That's not a spirit," Clyde said . "Not exactly . More like someone who guides them, right? I can't recall much of the mythologies . "

Ruri shook her head .

"Trying to change the subject . Why are you being such a pain in the a.s.s?" Ruri said .

"I could ask you the same," Clyde said . "Why are you going back on Yusuke?"

Abruptly, Yusuke stepped out of the house, Undine holding his arm . The red slap mark across his face only began to explain the situation . Harumi had her arms folded, face darkened with fury . A p.i.s.sed off Harumi…

"You apologize to Ruri right now," Harumi said coldly . She pulled a struggling Undine away .

"Ruri…I apologize!" Yusuke bowed his head . "Having just met, I saw you as one of the most epic friends one could ever have . I've never been one to rush into anything—we're human . Feelings develop and are interchangeable . I didn't—"

"It took this freaking idiot a month to get over that Emiko girl's rejection," Kitome said . "Not sure what he saw in her—her att.i.tude was so bipolar . "

Toru beat Clyde to the blank stare .

"You!" she chased after Toru .

Clyde forced himself to remain composed, focusing back on the matchmaking . Undine suddenly slipped past Harumi's hold and f.u.c.king ruin everything . The reaperess grabbed onto Yusuke's arm, made him blush . Ruri probably smelled the craving, s.e.xual desire, and what would happen later, in the air . The young man wanted to let out a frustrated yell .

"So close," Natalia whispered in Clyde's ear . How the h.e.l.l did she get on his back? The loli nibbled his ear .

"Little girl I'm going to throw you off a bridge," Clyde said . "Don't think I won't turn you into Tetra . "

Natalia dangled her arms his neck .

"Pervy nii, you've got to learn to accept love when it's given to you . "

Clyde's eyes widened as he saw Ruri's sudden resolve . No… Natalia what have you done! He thought .

"It's okay," Ruri said, eyes taking on determination . "I'm not good with human culture just yet . We h.e.l.lhounds sometimes take genuine friends.h.i.+p for more than what it is . With that being said, this is goodbye . I will decline your offer Undine . "

"Wait, Ru—"

Ruri turned and Jumped . Kitome sighed .

"Poor girl, she deserves better anyway . Yusuke, you idiot!" she shoved past him into the house .

"Come, husband, I shall comfort you," Undine said . "It is not your fault . Besides, you saw her more as a…sister, right?" She pulled Yusuke toward the house . "Tell me more about these video games . "

Clyde couldn't believe it . Sure, one couldn't possibly expect things to go his way all the time—life was as unpredictable as…the lottery .

"Ugh, Emiko," Toru said . "Rejected me too some time ago, which I'm glad . She's never honest with her feelings . Pretty mean on the outside, but I've seen the girl be as sweet as chocolate . "

Clyde blinked . A tsundere? His anime trope senses rang, confirming the truth . He kind of a.s.sumed Kitome was exactly that . She probably still was so .

He walked over to Yusuke who was getting comforted by his wife .

"What the h.e.l.l just happened?" Yusuke said .

"Just you being dense, my friend," Clyde said . "After all of the s.h.i.+…Never mind . I expect you not to ignore my calls for the meetings anymore . The city could've been in danger and you wouldn't have known . Are we clear? If you're a part of this team, act like it . "

Clyde held out a hand, surprising the blue-haired young man . Yusuke accepted the handshake . "Yusuke, are you sure about letting Ruri slip between your fingers like that?"

"There was never anything between us," Yusuke snapped . "A girl and guy can't be friends without getting s.h.i.+pped by everyone around them . "

"You two looked—"

"I don't care," Yusuke interrupted .

Clyde avoided looking at Undine, determined not to set the blue-haired young man off . He somehow understood .

Undine looked as if she simply didn't belong in this world . Beauty and radiance of that magnitude . All wasted on Yusuke . He pushed away the thoughts . The same could be said about Alice .

"Your loss man," Clyde said . "Anyway, I'm headed home to get in some last-minute studying for tomorrow's exams . Sat.u.r.day, all men our team will hang out . " He lowered his voice to a whisper so that Undine couldn't hear . "That way if you need to talk s.h.i.+t about the others without getting kicked in the b.a.l.l.s, you're free to do so . "

"What are you talking about?" Natalia said, trying to listen, nearly falling forward .

Harumi stepped out of the house, presumably saying her goodbyes to the magical girl .

"Nothing," Clyde said . Toru chuckled .

"I could locate a place, but Father is demanding too much time . Let Seth pick, he'll find somewhere fun . I'll set it aside on the calendar," the rich boy said .

"Fine with me," Yusuke said .

"I wanna go!" Natalia said .

"No kids or women allowed on this trip," Toru said, soliciting an indignant glare from Harumi .

"What trip?" she said . "And why can't we go?"

"It's a secret," Yusuke said .

"Yep," Clyde said . "That being said, everyone's tasks for the rest of the day is not to fail the exam . "

He sent a text to Tear, asking her to check on the h.e.l.lhound progress . The faster they left, the faster things would calm down in Lot City .

Tear's return text was odd .

Tear: the pack is leaving, but Ruri asked Alice for sanctuary . Something about failing a mission and could be slain by her clan . Sounds fishy, almost made-up . Then Matsume suddenly asked the same thing too for some other reason I didn't catch . My cousin tried to wave it off as paranoia, but they were very insistent . She couldn't refuse .

Clyde: oh, what the f.u.c.k . Tear do something about them, please .

Tear: I don't know…Sanctuary accepted among demons is a sacred thing . For Alice, heir of House Hades, she must always have rooms available for her troubled dear friends, in her palace .

Clyde: a sacred demon thing . Well, I don't really want to know what that's about . The two can live in the palace but as long as they don't cause trouble in the city . We've got enough s.h.i.+t to deal with as is . Just focus on getting her pack to leave .

And Tear, thank you .

Tear: anything for you, love .

Clyde gaped at his phone, nearly dropping it . He cleared his throat at the expectant looks .

"Let's get going . "
