This choice: The Trio wake up and leave because they are too hung over to care about him • Go Back...Chapter #7Harem Inn - breakfast, registration, and ghosts? by: Former182  When Keiichi felt the trio of women began to move, even his thoughts went silent out of fear of what might happen.
Ryoko floated into the air, rubbing her eyes and head as she muttered, “I’ve spent way too much time away from the bars if I got a hangover that easily.”
Kitsune sat up, freeing Keiichi’s arm. She rubbed her head as she said, “Speak for yourself. I think having two drinking partners like you might be a bad idea for my poor little liver.”
She then chuckled, “Which I might grow to like.”
“Eugh… Urd muttered as she stood up.. “I need to wake up more. Hangovers suck, even for a goddess.”
“And even a demon like me,” Ryoko said. She shivered. “Eugh. Man, I must’ve drunk more than I thought if I can’t make myself sober right away.”
“You sure you’re a demon? I sense more of the divine spark than demonic. Trust me, I know,” Urd chuckled as she took a few stumbly steps. “Woah. flying is right out for me. Tummy too shaky.”
“Yes, I’m sure. Why would anything related to a goddess be a space pirate?” Ryoko said as she put her feet on the ground as her body agreed with Urd’s.
“I’ve met a few gods and goddesses who’ve done stuff that made being a space pirate look like a morally upright job,” Urd answered as she, Kitsune, and Ryoko all assisted each other out of Keiichi’s room.
Keiichi slowly sat up, suspecting a prank. As he stood up, he looked around for any cameras or someone hiding within his room.
Living in a men’s-only dorm with the prank-happy N.I.T Auto Club made one quite paranoid.
So when he realized he was safe, Keiichi let out a sigh of relief and smiled as he got dressed.
So he left his room and joined the others at the dining table. Naru, Motoko, and Mutsumi were sitting there. Two of them were glaring at him, while one smiled. No points in guessing who did which.
Urd, Kitsune, and Ryoko looked like they were almost out of the hangover headache. Kitsune looked towards Urd and said, “Thanks, I never thought there really was an actual hangover cure.”
A smiling Ryoko asked, “Ever think of selling it… and do you need a saleswoman?”
At the head of the table was Haruka. She noticed Keiichi and said, “Belldandy looks like she’s a good cook. I’m not gonna pass up good food that’s free.”
“Ah, thank you,” Belldandy said as she wheeled in a cart loaded with food.
Indeed, the food was good enough that Naru and Motoko briefly forgot about their plights. Mutsumi felt her health improve. Keiichi felt like he was on Cloud Nine. Ryoko, Kitsune, and Haruka all made similar happy noises as they ate.
‘Huh… Wonder if those three were alike when they were younger?’ Urd privately thought she was pleased that Belldandy’s food was delicious as always.
“Hey, if you want a cooking job, there’ll always be an opening for you in my Tea Shop,” Haruka said.
“Oh, I couldn’t,” Belldandy replied with a smile.
Urd quickly said, “Promise her all the tea she can drink.”
Haruka glanced at Urd before smiling at Belldandy, who nervously said, “I’ll… think about it. That offer is quite tempting.”
“Hey, need a bouncer?” Ryoko asked. Haruka shook her head. Ryoko muttered, “Rats.”
“Bell, I think we need to talk about something later, possibly also with someone else,” Keiichi said.
An oddly Ryoko childishly waved her hand. “Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Pick me! I can teleport, make myself intangible, and a whole buncha other stuff!”
“Can you at least act mature?” Motoko muttered between bites.
“Hey! I can be mature. In fact, it’s a sign of maturity to know when to be mature and when to be immature!” Ryoko replied, sounding indignant.
Naru and Motoko looked towards Haruka, who said, “The wording is off, but she’s right. Knowing when to be mature, a little immature, or to let loose is a sign of maturity and adaptability. It pretty much shows you’re in control of your emotions and not the other way around.”
“Anyways, we’ll talk about it later, Ryoko. Either for your skills, or to drink some people under the table,” Keiichi said.
Ryoko rubbed her hands together, “Oh ho ho! Either way, Imma have a lot of fun!”
Urd held up her hand, “What about me?”
“If you have free time, then please join us,” Keiichi answered.

Once away from the Inn, Keiichi said, “Alright, Urd, Ryoko. We’ll need to get into the records of N.I.T. and get Belldandy registered.”
Urd nodded. “I can hack the computers and fake any written papers.”
Ryoko clapped her hands once. “And I can sneak her in and out! What’s the reward?”
Keiichi paused. “Any beer I can sneak out of the dorm I was once in.”
“Oh! Revenge beer! My favorite!” Ryoko said before hugging Keiichi’s side.
When Urd noticed Belldandy’s shocked expression, she pulled Ryoko away. “Careful there! My sister tends to be a bit explosive with her jealousy!”
“What are you-” Ryoko said before sensing the built-up energy around her. “Oh… That. Been awhile since I felt stuff like that… I think it was Jurai?”
“Jurai, the Femdom BDSM capital of space?” Urd asked with curosity.
Belldandy quickly said, “Ah-hem, Jurai is a peaceful planet that resembles certain aspects of Japan. It is thought by many to have influenced Japan through unknown means, though there are some who think it might've been the other way around.”
“But they do have a strong femdom-BDSM thing behind doors,” Urd said with Ryoko nodded. Then she looked towards Keiichi and added, “If you decide to date a Jurai girl, they do like to put their men through bondage and whipping, but will let you pick between whip and riding crop. Some like spanking, so that-”
A blushing Belldandy loudly said, “That’s not what we’re here for! We’re here to get me registered and have me with Keiichi in his college!”
Ryoko leaned closer to Urd, hid her mouth with her hand, and whispered, “We’ll tell Keiichi later. Maybe demonstrate a few examples if need be.”
A smiling Urd nodded.
“It would be best if we waited until nightfall,” Keiichi said. When Belldandy stared at him, he quickly added, "Getting you registered."
“Yup. Less eyes around to watch us sneak in,” Ryoko said. "So what are we going to do in the mean time?"
"I'll check to see if Haruka really needs a hand with her tea shop," Belldandy said.
"I'll scope out the offices," Keiichi added. "The two of you can watch TV."
"I like this plan a lot," Urd chuckled.

Both the enrollment plan and the beer theft went off without a hitch. At worst, Ryoko had to be reminded about what they were doing, as she kept looking around for something.
Once back at the Inn, Belldandy went to make a late night victory snack for everyone, Ryoko hugged Keiichi with one arm.
“Hey! It was like the easiest mission I ever had, but the first one with a cutey like you,” Ryoko said as she somehow opened a can of beer with one hand. When Keiichi opened his mouth, Ryoko poured some of the beer into his mouth as she said, “So drink up and maybe we’ll both have some fun!”
Urd opened a can as she sternly said, “Just be careful. Bell has a way of butting in just as things get hot’n’heavy. Last thing you want is to start having sex, only for the furniture to start smacking you on the ass because of Belldandy.”
“What’s the reason for this?” Kitsune said as she walked in and grabbed a can.
“Sneaking my sister into N.I.T. roster and stealing the beer from Keiichi’s former dorm-mates after they threw him out,” Urd answered.
“Ah. Revenge beer. Totally understandable,” Kitsune said before drinking.
Ryoko let go of Keiichi, who began coughing. She drank the rest of the beer within the can before she said, “Beer’s not as good as the sake Keiichi gave me. So… was I the only one who sensed something supernatural within the campus?”
“Supernatural how?” Urd asked, her tone sounding concerned.
“Dunno if it was weak or asleep, but a spirit was stirring about,” Ryoko answered. Seeing Kitsune’s confusion, Ryoko pointed at the gem in her left wrist. “This can let me summon spirits, mostly malicious ones. It’s not the real gem, but an inferior copy I can make. Part of the summoning thing is being able to sense the spirits.”
After Keiichi was able to stop coughing, he said, “Gems? I think Grandpa’s old sword might’ve had some gems on its hilt.”
“Oh? Do you know where it is?” Ryoko asked in a tone so cheerful, Urd became suspicious. Ryoko groped one of her own boobs and cooed, “If you do, I might be able to give you a special present in return for the sword.”
“Keiichi, do everyone a favor and don’t think with the head between your legs,” Urd spat. Ryoko glared at her before going back to giving Keiichi a lustful gaze.
"Maybe, but first we should check out that spirit thing at the campus," Keiichi said. "We'll check tomorrow."
"Motoko has some sword skills to deal with spirits, but I doubt she'll willingly help you, Keiichi," Kitsune added. "She's quite the man-hater."
Urd said, "Still, might be a good idea to bring her. The spirits might've somehow been awoken by the presence, of myself, Belldandy, and Ryoko... Possibly even boosted by our powers. Having someone who isn't us could be useful."  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
