198 You don't choose harem life, harem life chooses you

(Ryoto's pov)

As soon as Unohana finished explaining what happened, I felt incredibly embarrassed. Never in my life have I felt so embarrassed, and this is saying something.

Luckily I wasn't the only one feeling like that. All the girls were as well. Even Yoruichi. It seems that hearing about her meek self hit her harder than I thought.

Retsu: "Maybe remembering it with your own mind would be more effective."

The what now?

She then touched everyone's forehead with two of her fingers using some kind of spell. The moment she finished chanting, memories that I didn't remember but where mine flew into me. The same happened to the girls.

As soon as we sorted our memories, we all looked at Isane, who was incredibly embarrassed and tried to hide her face with her hands.

Ryoto: "The saying is true. The quiet ones are really the lewdest."

Rin: "I really didn't expect something like that from you. Not that I have anything against it."

Rin tried to correct herself at the end.

Yoruichi: "Wow... just wow..."

Isane: "No, it wasn't me!!!"

I put my hand on her shoulder and gave her the most understanding look.

Ryoto: "Don't worry. Everyone has a thing or two they enjoy. I may not be a bottom, but I don't mind handcuffs play. Just not too often if they are on me."

Isane: "Noooo!!!"

Unohana got interested in my miracle lollipops, and I was as well, so I promised her to allow her to study them in the near future.

On the way back, our group talked about our relationship and how we plan to proceed with it. Now that I remember what I did (and I did a lot *wink* *wink*) I feel somehow responsible for my actions even more.

It doesn't help that I may have had a small crush on Yoruichi when I was younger, for obvious reasons (mostly thighs), Isane was cute and underrated, as my drunk self has said, and Rin is someone like a family after spending my time with her for about a year.

It's about as long as I know Lala, and if someone would make her cry, then as some scumbug once said, 'Fishes in Tokyo bay will eat well that day.'.

We decided that we'll try out this strange relationship. How did I manage to convince them? Secret (Because I don't know either).

(E/D: Sasuga Ryoto-sama.)

I may have experience with dating multiple women at the same time, but I don't think it will help me in this relationship. Lala was just too sweet and pure (not anymore, hehe), and she was the one who helped me steel my resolve.

While I technically had Kaede and Rio as my girlfriends. We were living literally worlds apart. Alme, on the other hand, didn't care that much or rather encouraged me to have more as it shows how capable of a male I am. Her words, not mine.

Now that I have three more girlfriends, my life will be busier than ever. To be honest, I feel like there will be problems with the Shihoin clan later on as I'm not from a noble family, but if I become a Captain, I doubt they will have anything to say to me then. They even owe me a favor, so I like my chances.

The problem is Zangetsu. He still does that stupid test about hearing a word that I can't hear. I need to be patient about Kisuke's invention. Then, we'll see how cooperative he will be. I predict that he won't be much more agreeable, but I'll at least get a chance.

Isane went to her home for now, and the rest of us were planning to return to the dorms for now, but we were stopped but clearly exited Kisuke.

Kisuke: "I finally finished it!!!"

Rin: "What did you finish?"

Rin, while not the biggest fan of Kisuke, was still curious.

Kisuke: "I'm glad you asked~ But first, I should probably congratulate Ryoto on finally getting a girlfriend. So which one is the lucky one~?"

He asked teasingly. He was probably expecting to be Rin, and he wanted to annoy her a bit.

But I must say he really is perceptive to notice small changes in our behavior or the way we walk.

Yoruichi: "I'm the lucky one! Ryoto couldn't control himself after finally noticing my charms. Even turning into a cat didn't help."

She faked her sadness.

I may be many things, but a cat fucker is not one of them.

Ryoto: "No fish for a month."

That was the only thing I said, but Yoruichi didn't seem fazed.

Yoruichi: "Do you think I can get fish only from you? People give fish to cats all the time."

Ryoto: "Cooked by me."

She hesitated this time and gritted her teeth.

Yoruichi: "You're lucky that your food is amazing."

I positioned my arm in a way it was evident for her to know what I wanted. She reluctantly jumped on my arm, and I started petting her. After a few moments, she was enjoying it against her will.

Yoruichi: "Why are you so good at petting!!!"

Ryoto: "Practice."

I think I enjoyed it even more than she did.

Kisuke: "Ohya, ohya Rin-san. If you are feeling jealous, all you need to do is ask~ Our very generous friend has a heart of gold and would spare a few seconds to give you headpats~."

This comment earned him a bonk on the head with the sheath of my Zanpakuto. And so the spirit of Utsu lives on.

After I was satisfied with Yoruichi's body (yes, I know how it sounds), I put her on my head again and gave some head pats to Rin.

She was happy with that, and so was I.

Kisuke: "I see what's going on, but I'm not going to ask any questions. However, I'm going to show you what I planned to before you got distracted."

He guided us through the underground labyrinth in which we would easily get lost.

Rin: "Is all this really necessary? Why create a labyrinth?"

Kisuke: "A man's romance."

(E/D: Urahara being a poet. I love this guy, even though I have not watched or read bleach.)

She looked at him like he was stupid. Incredibly hilarious because Kisuke is anything but stupid.

Ryoto: "I hope there's a bunch of traps here that we avoided, thanks to you."

Kisuke: "But of course. I have everything hidden pits, poisoned but not fatal arrows, and let's not forget about a giant boulder rolling through the hallway."

I just gave him silent thumbs up. He did a great job.

After walking for a while, we could see the light at the end of the tunnel reveling...
