Anomalities I

Things have been going well... aside from the bastard of my uncle showing up ahead of schedule... there haven't been any issues... I'm training nicely with my girlfriends and they're improving... the one that's showing the most progress is Shizuka; my beloved carer doesn't know how to fight, and she's not good at shooting a gun, but she's perfect at doing what I want her to do if there is any issue... run.

She can take care of everyone's health which is perfect, but if there is ever a moment in which we're in danger, I want her to run for her life and not care about us.

"Mooouuu! not so hard, Brand-chan!"

I helped her stretch, pressing her down and seeing how her already toned and bubbly ass bloated in shape; I bit my lips and rid any mischievous thought from my mind. Tonight we're not in the mansion, instead, we're in the penthouse... It is just Lucy, Saeko, Shizuka and me. Saya is angry with me... she has been coming for the mansion's training but she has been ignoring me, as for Yuriko, I haven't seen her at all but I have spoken to her by phone.

Lucy told me that she has already begun her divorce procedures, it is a delicate moment for Saya... what an odd feeling, in my last life I never cared about a woman's feelings, but I can't stop thinking of what Saya must be going through... as much as I despise Souichirou, he's her father... her parents are getting divorced and although not completely, you could say it is my fault.

I want to spoil her but she won't allow me.

"Shizuka..."

"Hmn?"

"What can I do to make up with Saya...? any idea?" I asked her and it was only after my lips closed that I realised how fruitless this was. This is Shizuka Marikawa, not Oprah Winfrey. Her response was just as I expected.

"I don't know, Brand-chan... you sort out this issue yourself, she's your girlfriend, right?~"

"..." Is she being deliberately spiteful? I turned her head towards me and all I got was a playful smirk and a peck as she stood up and went to some corner to start jumping on the cord.

I know that I shouldn't ask them for a solution when it was me who was greedy enough to cave to my cousin and her mother no less... but it would help me to get some ideas... I know that Saya likes chocolates, she likes studying and also science fiction books... but I don't know if getting them all together will shift her emotions to the positive spectrum.

How complicated... before I only needed to give a girl some dicking and money to make up; now that doesn't work, there is all this romanticism and shit...

My mind got momentarily distracted when Shizuka's breasts began to bounce as she jumped, 'Ridiculous... and that's with a full-body belt, her breasts should be squished and they're still bouncing nevertheless.

"Hey..."

I heard Lucy's voice behind me, taking me out of my perverted thoughts, she had already finished settling Saeko down, and my purple-haired girlfriend was making some complex poses with her sword, Hanayome... she wore delightful black leggings and a short top with her hair tied in a ponytail. When she saw me ogling her way, Saeko blew me a kiss and went back up to her training, expecting me to not disturb her.

I sighed, I love all of them and I mean ALL, that's why I need to fix things with Saya ASAP.

"What's wrong, Lucy?" I turned towards my rainbow-haired gorgeous girl, she had a lollipop in her mouth, smirking in my direction and shamelessly ogling at Shizuka's boobs just like me. Although I don't feel lust for Shizuka in her eyes, Lucy is a fierce contender when it comes to sleeping on either Shizuka or Yuriko's breasts... since she's the most beautiful in this household she has... advantages.

One of them is that everyone wants to hold her to sleep... if they don't get her then they sigh in defeat and go for me, outrageous isn't it? this is the sort of thing I, the owner of this penthouse and man of the house, am dealing with.

"Stop thinking nonsense and help me stretch... I see you're deep in your own thoughts... Saya? Yuriko?"

"Both..." I got on my knees and so did she, beginning our procedure; Lucy who was nothing short of a goddess, she had sky-blue leggings and a hoodie.

"Uhm!~"

"..."

She's doing this deliberately... ever since we had our first time, we haven't done it again, not due to a lack of opportunities but instead due to m having to be diplomatic in this relationship... Shizuka wanted us to be 'adults', and so did Yuriko... that wouldn't have been enough to stop me but... Saya wanted to wait as well and hence due to a majority of votes, it was decided we would all have our 'first times' the same day, effectively sealing on paper the day I would die from nutting.

I bloody hate democracy.

"There you are in your thoughts again, Brand... maybe you could have asked me, I'm here to help you..."

"How can we destroy democracy?"

"Huh?" She looked at me in confusion and I rubbed my temples.

"Forget it. I don't want you to think that I only summoned you to help me..." I switched the topic to something more important, Lucy has been overworking herself recently, I don't know if it is due to her origin, that Night City or the fact that her brain seems to be more evolved than everyone else in this place... she said that it was as if her brain had 'merged' with the chrome... and although she couldn't do nearly half of the godly stuff she's originally capable of, she's still a 'machine' of sorts.

She can think most of the stuff that Yuriko, Saya and I together wouldn't think about. One of them is that she had already compiled the pictures of Souchirou's infidelity way before... she just hadn't told anything to us.

She researched all of our backgrounds and erased any flaws, even changing events if necessary just so we wouldn't get interrogated... when the government realised the amount of money that was missing, she shifted the blame to a lot of other people that were currently being investigated.

It was almost as if she could predict the future. Hence why I think she's overworking herself.

"Isn't that the case?~ wasn't I summoned here to assist you?" She asked me with a playful smirk that indicated she didn't mind; that said... I do mind.

"It is... but you know we're beyond that now, Lucy... you're my girlfriend"

I have never seen her as my 'servant', 'secretary' or anything of the sort... just a helper I was lucky enough to summon.

"With more reason, Brand... I want you to rely on me more..."

"What more do you want me to rely on you? all of our preparations for the apocalypse are technically being handled by you... I'm merely coordinating everything and helping the girls train" I rolled my eyes and embraced her tightly, taking a whiff of her hair.

"You're the leader of this group... we all wouldn't be here if not for you, more so me..."

"Anyway... you know what my predicament is... even you a godly hacker can't help me with this," I said, and we switched positions, she's going to do some pull-ups. I didn't think Lucy was that experienced in relationships, she told me she never had a partner... although there were several men she met along the way, she never reached that stage with any of them, hence why I doubted her capabilities.

"I think Saya is just making a scene... she's still coming to the training and I can see that she's now wearing shorter clothes around you as if trying to incite you, doesn't that tell you something?~ she's just like Rei... that girl has a boyfriend yet she keeps coming here with mini-shorts knowing that you're here"

"Maybe she just trusts me?"

"Yes, sure..."

Lucy rolled her eyes and began doing her pull-ups, don't talk to me about Rei, I don't know what's in that girl's mind... one day she asks me to run together around school, the other day she's having a date with Takashi, the next she's asking me to help her stretch while wearing small tops. I don't know if my past experience is screwing with me but... aren't those signals?

"About Saya... what's the point of it if when I try to touch her or talk to her she churns me away?"

"That little pink-haired vixen is trying to make you desperate and hungry, and I don't blame her..." Lucy sent me a glare that I could only helplessly accept... yes, yes... aunty, cousin, oyakodon and stuff.

"Allow her the little game and don't be in a rush, trust me, I know how women work~ if she wanted to break things off with you, she'd not be coming here"

I pinned her to the ground, surprising her with my wicked smirk, "Are you going to be like that to me as well?"

"No, if you ever break my heart I'll burst your balls, Brand" She frowned and began rubbing my crotch with her knee, how merciless of her, at least I know that no man will survive taking advantage of her.

"Sounds like something I'd do..."

"That's why we're so compatible~"

Unable to resist each other, we kissed until a cough from the side stopped us, I found Saeko with her sword 'smirking'.

"Brand, spar, now~"

"..."
