53: I Like You And I Want You!

On the way there, Natsuo and the two girls had watched the anime, so they already knew most of the plot and understood the world they had been transported into.

Naturally, Natsuo immediately recognized the 961 year old goth girl standing before him. Rory Mercury was an incredibly powerful demigod, and she was only 39 years away from becoming a full fledged god herself.

"So you're Rory the Reaper." Even though he was facing a demigod, Natsuo wasn't afraid of her. The demigods of this world weren't nearly as overpowered as those from other worlds, such as Fate.

He smiled calmly and asked, "Why did you attack us?"

"Ara? Attacking you?" Rory tilted her head, tracing a finger over her red, pursed lips. "I didn't. You're the one who attacked me first."

"..." Natsuo paused to think, then realized that she was right. He had indeed been the one to make the first move.

"Let me rephrase my question, then. Why were you sneaking around?"

"Hmm, sneaking around is such a bad way to phrase it." Rory shook her head and walked closer to him with a smile. "I was attracted by the deaths of the bandits you killed, so I followed you to see who was responsible."

"But I didn't expect to run into such interesting people. You guys aren't from this world; you came from beyond the Gate, right?"

When Natsuo and Kana killed the bandits, Rory was only a few kilometers away. As the Apostle of the God of Violence and Death, she was extremely sensitive to the presence of death. The moment the bandits were killed, she sensed it and headed toward the location.

When she arrived, she found their freshly killed bodies and immediately became curious about the weapons that had been used to kill them. She followed the tracks left by Natsuo's car until she eventually caught up with them.

"Well, you're right. We aren't from this world." Natsuo thought for a moment before agreeing with her assumption, then asked, "So you didn't come here to fight us?"

Although Natsuo was curious about Rory's strength, he didn't want to fight her with the two girls nearby. He was worried that they might get caught in the battle. Besides, he was a mage and preferred fighting from a distance rather than engaging in close combat.

He really needed to visit Hilda's world after this mission and start practicing swordsmanship.

"If you'd like to." Rory licked her lips and spoke in a dangerous tone. She felt that the handsome man standing before her was a powerful mage, and she was curious to see just how strong he really was.

Although he knew that she was older than many countries in his world, Natsuo still found it weird to see her acting so flirty and seductive. "...We were in the middle of having dinner. Want to join us?"

Although it was rude of her to follow them and secretly watch them from afar like a thief, Natsuo decided that it was worth graciously forgiving her and befriending her. At the very least, they can use her as a walking GPS.

"Oh? Sure!" Rory initially looked surprised by his invitation before agreeing with a wide smile.

Natsuo tapped the ground lightly, and the massive earth wall behind them immediately sank back into the ground.

The moment the barrier disappeared, Kana rushed toward Natsuo and grabbed him by the shoulders.

"Are you okay? What happened?! Did you get injured? Hmm... You didn't lose any limbs this time, right?"

She checked his body carefully, and when she confirmed that all his limbs were intact, she reached down between his legs to check his "third leg" as well. Natsuo immediately caught her hand and said with a blank expression, "I am fine."

"Tsk!" Kana clicked her tongue in annoyance.

"Anyways, this is Rory. She'll be having dinner with us." Natsuo pointed at the goth demigoddess and introduced her.

"Nice to meet you, everyone! I am Rory Mercury!" Rory waved her heavy halberd as if it were her hand and cheerfully greeted Ai and Kana.

"Rory Mercury?" Kana and Ai exchanged a glance. 

...

"Meat! How did you make such juicy and tasty meat?! So delicious!" Rory held both cheeks as she savored the beef, wearing the same blissful expression Ai had made earlier.

However, when she noticed Natsuo and Kana staring at her with amused smirks, she quickly composed herself and cleared her throat. "I heard about the people from another world defeating the Empire's army. I was originally on my way to Alnus Hill."

"We're heading in the same direction. Want to come with us?" Natsuo proposed. Their task this time was to help the Empire win, so having a respected Apostle like Rory with them would make things much easier. At the very least, they could avoid a great deal of unnecessary trouble, such as dealing with stupid and arrogant people everywhere they went.

"Sure!" Rory glanced at Natsuo with her red eyes and licked her red lips. Under the reflection of the moonlight, the gesture made her look both alluring and dangerous. For some reason, when Kana saw the way Rory was looking at Natsuo, she felt a strong sense of crisis.

The four of them chatted for a long while. When it was finally time to sleep, Natsuo set up four tents, one for each of them, and cast an Alarm spell around the campsite in case anything happened during the night.

"Good night!"

"Good night, Natsuo-san."

Everyone went to their tents to sleep. Natsuo lay on his back in his sleeping bag, but he couldn't fall asleep. He was used to his soft, comfortable bed at home, so sleeping on a camping bed made it difficult for him to fall asleep quickly.

Fortunately, he was a Super Soldier, so he didn't actually need much sleep in the first place.

While lying there, he found himself thinking about random things. For some reason, his mind wandered to Dragon Ball and Bulma's family. Why did all of their names sound like they were based on underwear or some kind of undergarment?

Bulma sounded like bloomers. Her father's name was Dr. Brief, while her mother's name was Panchy, which sounded suspiciously like panties. And then there was her freaking sister, whose name was Tights!

Suddenly, Natsuo's ears picked up the sound of rustling outside. Someone was slowly approaching his tent. He saw a shadow standing outside, fidgeting nervously as she glanced around, seemingly making sure no one was watching.

After a moment of hesitation, she slowly opened the tent. The moment she did, her eyes met Natsuo's.

She quietly slipped inside and whispered, "You're awake."

"Kana? What are you doing here?" Natsuo whispered in a low voice.

"Shh, don't speak." Kana crawled farther into the tent until she reached his side. Since Natsuo was lying down while she was crawling toward him, she ended up hovering over him, her hair falling around her face as she stared directly into his eyes. "This time, you won't be able to escape!"

She lifted one knee and placed it on the other side of Natsuo, straddling him as she looked down at his shocked expression.

"I like you, and I want you. We can do this the easy way or the hard way."

She lowered her head until her face was close to his and whispered in a breathy voice, "The choice is yours."

'Dafuq?!' Natsuo knew that Kana was trying to get into his pants. He wasn't dense, but he still didn't expect her to be this down bad.

He reached up and grabbed her shoulders, trying to push her away. "Kana, I have a girlfriend! I'm not going to date any other women from the Chat Group!"

Originally, Natsuo hadn't even wanted to date Chelsea, but things had developed far more quickly than he expected. Fortunately, Chelsea wasn't from the modern world, so she didn't have any problem with polygamy.

Kana was different. She had grown up in the modern world, where convincing her to share a man would probably be much more difficult.

Natsuo wanted a harem. That was the kind of man he was, and he wasn't willing to give up everything he wanted just to be with a single woman.

"I see. So you're choosing the hard way." Kana clutched his shirt tightly and narrowed her eyes. "Don't bring up Chelsea right now! Just look at me!"

She opened her collar, revealing the pinkish purple bra underneath. She leaned closer, making sure her cleavage filled Natsuo's entire field of vision, and tried to sound as seductive as possible. "Say it... I'm beautiful~?"

'Should I or should I not? That's the question.' Being seduced so blatantly, Natsuo was obviously turned on. However, he was faced with another dilemma. Should he kick Kana out of his tent, or should he try to talk to her calmly and convince her to give up?

Either option would hurt her, so he found himself hesitating between the two.

"Ara~?" Just then, a third option presented itself. Rory's head peeked through the tent flap as she stared at the two of them with a teasing smile.

"What are you two doing? Can I join?"

...

Early the next morning, Ai woke up and left her tent. After washing her face and brushing her teeth, she noticed that no one else had gotten up yet.

Out of curiosity, she decided to wake Kana. However, when she reached Kana's tent and opened the flap, she discovered that it was empty.

She glanced toward Rory's tent.

That one was empty too.

"Where did everyone go?" Seeing that the two girls were nowhere to be found, Ai suddenly felt as though she had been left all alone.

She decided to go to Natsuo's tent and ask him if he knew where they had gone. When she opened the tent flap, however, she was greeted by a scene that left her completely stunned.

The three of them were stuffed inside the cramped tent, with Natsuo lying in the middle. Kana had his left arm pinned down while her legs were wrapped around his legs, and Rory was lying on top of him. Both girls were sleeping peacefully, completely oblivious to his predicament.

Kana was even drooling all over his shoulder.

Natsuo, meanwhile, was wide awake, staring blankly at the ceiling with dead fish eyes. The moment he saw Ai, he whispered, "Help, please!"

...

PS: It's a Dead Girls' Chat Group. Only women destined to die can be invited, and Natsuo doesn't have the ability to invite new members yet.

I hope this clears up the misunderstanding I've noticed many of you have.
