Chapter 266

Clyde invited the entire party to dinner, but Toru wanted to get back to Fumi and also check on his gothic loli a.s.sistant Nina . Seth, Kitome, and Yusuke declined too with their set of excuses—but the young man saw the tiredness in their eyes . Sazuki thought for a second, considering, but she wanted to check on Kiko .

"Where'd Melody go?" he wondered aloud .

"She took off ahead of us," Alice said .

"Ah . "

When they stepped outside of the academy, Clyde initiated the Jump . Toru gave the non-housemates a ride home . Upon opening the door, the delicious aroma of Yuki's divine cooking hugged everyone's noses . Melody, dressed in an ap.r.o.n, finished setting up the table, although seeming to put extra care in two spots . One obviously for him, the other, more than likely meant for herself . Sophia seemed a little annoyed having her job stolen by the redhead .

Melody smiled upon noticing them, eyes on Clyde . As everyone walked in, she hurried to him .

While unb.u.t.toning his school uniform s.h.i.+rt, she said,

"Would you like a bath, or dinner, or . . . " She blushed, and he already knew the answer to that question . Chika ruined the moment by whacking her with a paper fan .

"I've already done that . " She continued onward to their room . "Who's making these?"

"Okay, I propose a ban on the paper fan gag," Clyde said to his crew then turned back to his teary-eyed redhead who probably asked Yuki for advice . What they fail to realize was that the mischievous demoness, twenty-two years old, pulled all of her examples from the books she read . She lacked the experience to actually give advice but couldn't turn down the cute opportunities to mess with them . "A bath actually sounds nice, but I have one more stop after dinner . "

Melody had actually prepared a hot bath for him .

"d.a.m.n," Clyde said . "You're the best . "

Stars s.h.i.+ned in Melody's eyes .

"Come on, strip, my Soother . " Clyde feigned innocence, pretending to cover himself up while batting his eyelashes . Melody laughed . "I'll be doing your laundry . "

"Wait—" Clyde tried to say, but it was too late . The redhead took his clothes and left . Sighing, he got into the tub and relaxed . Minutes later, Melody returned, dressed in a thin robe .

"Let me wash your back," she said . His erection burst into maximum overdrive .

"Well, you are my fiancée," he said . Before he knew it, Melody was kissing him, tears streaming from her face . She pulled back .

"It didn't hit me until after it was done," she said softly . "I made you take a soul-oath without any explanation . It's almost like—"

"It's fine," he said . "I'm not mad, but quite the opposite . It's a little different from my world, but I'll explain that to you some other time . " He wanted to surprise her with the ring .

System, can I craft this ring? He thought . Melody kissed him again .

[Yes . You will gain additional EXP and relations.h.i.+p points for crafting something like this from your heart . ]

"Do you want to join me in the tub?" Clyde said, voice nonchalant . The redhead chuckled .

"I'm here to wash your back, remember?" she said . "Everything else can wait until bedtime . "

And she did . But not just with a washcloth . When he felt the softness, he began to wonder if Melody had some of Yuki's brandy . Then again, he knew the young woman was trying her best . h.e.l.l, so was he . He didn't show any weakness in front of his team so that they'd always feel like they could rely on him .

Melody did join in the large, jacuzzi-like tub eventually . And at last, the blus.h.i.+ng returned . The redhead covered her face .

"This is so embarra.s.sing . "

Clyde scooped her into his embrace, grinning .

"You've got nothing to be embarra.s.sed about . d.a.m.n I love this about you . "

[Your relations.h.i.+p with Melody…Absolute endearment has evolved to Absolute Cherished level 2 . ]

Melody was his . She leaned back on him, closing her eyes, long hair giving off a sweet flowery fragrance . She seemed to have determined something . Turning back toward him, she was smiling .

"I'm going to be a better wife than all the others . "

Clyde wiped away the nosebleed and laughed .

"Good start . Now, how can I be a better husband?"

That made Melody laugh .

"Keep being yourself," she said . "Oh and don't hide all of your problems from me . As your fiancée and soon-to-be wife, it's my responsibility to help you with everything . "

"Fair enough," Clyde said . Melody hugged him .

"I love you . "

When the duo dried off and put on bathrobes—their clothing awaited in Melody's room—they opened the door to see a wide-eyed, open-mouthed Natalia standing there . The loli dropped her staff .

"Marry me too onii-chan!" she anime-dove into him and whined . "That's not fair Melody, you can't cheat . " She pulled suspiciously hard at the bathrobe, soliciting the young man's blank stare .

The redhead plucked her off with a single hand . But Kanako seemingly appeared out of nowhere to replace her, hugging his waist .

"Where were you all day?" she whined . "I was so bored and lonely without you . "

"I take it you didn't enjoy the time spent with Yuki and…what's her name… Sophia . "

"Oh, how mean to forget your devoted maiden," Sophia said, walking toward them, beautiful as ever . Long white hair, green eyes, and dressed in a…silky white dress that hugged her curves . Of course his maidens would be different . Then again, this could be one of Yuki's infamous wardrobe ideas .

Clyde let out the millionth sigh .

"Yuki and Sophia were great, but they can't replace my master," the genie said .

"I told you to stop calling me that," Clyde said, even though he still gave her the head pat . Melody laughed .

"I just hope this lively moment lasts forever in our hearts," she said .

After dressing, they joined the others at the dinner table—Melody somehow getting her spot—and enjoyed the amazing cooking of the advanced chef .

"I'll be back in an hour or so," Clyde said after dinner .

"Where are you going?" Kanako said, floating toward him . He dodged her three attempts to hug his waist . The others were looking too, curious . Melody especially .

"I'm going to train, practice some skills," he said then in a lower voice, "that's pretty much the gist of it . I may drop in on Tear . "

Alice and Chika followed him all the way back to the room, glaring as he changed .

"And why do you need to see my cousin this late?" Alice said .

"Are you jealous?" Clyde said, pinching her cheek, then he pulled the half-demoness into him as he sat down . "Yep, you're the most beautiful woman I know . "

Taken aback, Alice's anger melted away .

"Hey, he's mine too," Chika said, joining Alice on his lap . He wanted to see Tear alone, but two cute girls who shared as much of his heart, changed things . Melody popped in and forced a spot for herself, surprising the other two .

"He's mine too," the redhead said . That statement was a finality that not even Alice could challenge . "And I love him . "

Instead of outrage, there was agreement . AGREEMENT .

"So do I," Chika said .

"I love him too," Alice said . "And first . "

Natalia ruined the moment .

"Fivesome!" the loli said as she anime-dove into the group .

After calming down the commotion, Clyde put on his shoes . Alice gave him a look of longing .

"Fine, you can come with me," he said . "As for everyone else, don't forget we've got both the parents meet and the cultural festival tomorrow . Get some rest . "

They reluctantly nodded, seconds from protesting their desire to go too .

"I'll meet you outside," Clyde said to Alice then took off down the hall . He stopped at Harumi's, who chatted with Airi . The open door of course sparked his invitation .

"Look who's coming to pay his other wives some attention," Airi said . Clyde laughed . "Ah, he thinks I'm joking . "

"I can't tell anymore," he said as he sat in the chair closest to Harumi . Before he could say the first word to her, she hopped into his lap . Her fox ears and tail were out .

"Need something?" Harumi said, "or are you just happy to see me . "

"I'm always happy to see you," Clyde said, chuckling . How did she maintain the innocent look while teasing him? "Is everything okay with your sister?"

"Sure is," Harumi said, cheerful . "She really appreciates your protection . "

Clyde nodded .

"If you need anything, Harumi, just let me know . "

"Anything, huh?" Airi said then folded her arms, giving him a playful pout . "I don't see the offer being extended to me . "

Clyde laughed, though his eyes caught the panty flash that she did on purpose from her side of the room . Short nightgowns…

Harumi stood, turned around, and kissed Clyde .

[Your relations.h.i.+p with Harumi has increased to friend closer level 10, Absolute endearment plus . ]

"You're always doing so much for me," the pink-haired girl continued .

"It's because I love you," Clyde said . "N—"

[Your relations.h.i.+p with Harumi…has evolved to Absolute Cherished, level 2 . ]

[Your relations.h.i.+p with Airi has jumped to friend, closer level 7, pa.s.sionately interested and very curious . ]

"Do you have to go see Tear?" Harumi said as she straddled him . "Why not just—"

"I don't know if you're a smooth talker, playboy, or genuinely has no idea what he's doing, other than just being honest," Airi interrupted .

Clyde chuckled .

"Or I'm just being me," he told her . "Like always . " He gazed into the golden eyes of the fox girl, who's tail was wagging . Natalia ruined the moment .

"Pervy-nii have s.e.x with me too!" The loli anime-dove into Clyde and Harumi . Airi sighed .

"What an annoying child . "

"Tell me about it," Clyde said, agreeing with the Super druid . His erection vanished thankfully . The last thing he needed was Tetra arresting him . "Anyway, I'm off to do some training before heading to Tear's . Alice is going . "

"I think she's jealous of… Tear's a.s.sets," Natalia blabbed . Harumi glared at her then also let out a sigh .
