That Melody was going to have me worked to the bone if she had her way! This woman didn''t seem to care what or who the girl was anymore!


    Again, it wasn''t like I didn''t want to do things with Chelsea, but I was starting to feel like a yer, even if all the girls were okay with it. The thing was, I couldn''t figure out why they were all okay with it?!


    It wasn''t like I was thest man on earth. Albeit, I might be the strongest, that was hardly a reason for women to throw themselves at me!


    Maybe I could ask Marley since she seemed to still be a bit hesitant out of most of the girls. She would probably give me the best exnation, but then again, it could be different for each of them.


    Did it really even matter? The girls imed they wanted to be with me, and they were all okay with it, so shouldn''t I be as well?


    Maybe I was the one being the stick in the mud here, but I still felt like I needed some exnation. It wasn''t like I had chosen to have this many girlfriends, so the least the women could do was give me a decent excuse as to why they all had fallen for me.


    I dove down and then pulled my wings in as my feet hit the ground, grass popping up to cushion my fall, not that I needed it. Still, I would take a softnding over a jarring one any day of the week, considering how I started.


    "How did everything go?" Marley called as she burst from the house toe running over to me.


    "Better than expected, for the most part," I said as Marley came over and wrapped me in a hug that I returned.


    "For the most part?" Marley asked, looking up at me, and I rolled my eyes.


    "The Viin was a girl by the name of Chelsea Vodrik!?@, a popr KFPS streamer, and Melody took it upon herself to recruit her," I exined, and Marley started tough.


    "Really? She hasn''t even met the girl yet, and she is already adding more to your overflowing te?" Marley teased.


    "Exactly! Damnit, I am just trying to do good by you girls, but she really knows how to make things harder!" Iined.


    "Well, if you are hard now, maybe we can do some of that sparring we talked about earlier?" Marley asked while dragging a finger down my burnt and torn shirt.


    "Now, that does sound like a n, but let''s go have a soak first. I created a bit of a dojo up top where the bath is, so we won''t have to go far to spar, and we can get cleaned up after," I said, opening my wings up, and Marley nodded, wrapping her arms around me tightly.


    "Let''s go before my parentse out and start asking you questions about us! They were grilling me the entire time you were gone!" Marleyined, and Iughed, jumping into the air.<novelnext></novelnext>


    We were in the air with a few vigorous strokes of my wings, and I started to slowly rise, catching a warm draft. There was nothing in the world that couldpare to the feeling of a warm breeze against your wings.


    The trip up to the top of the Surveince Tree didn''t take long, but I was excited when I got up there andnded on the front step of a traditional dojo. I ced it to be hidden with the tree branches and leaves, but it was a fantastic sight to see when wended.


    "Wow! This is really cool! It''s almost like you took and put an old, already built temple up here!" Marley eximed as she let go of me to turn around and examine the building.


    "Come, let''s see what the inside looks like," I said as one of the paper-style doors opened up for us.


    Inside, there was a bigrge open room with a steaming pool in the corner. The room was surrounded by paper walls, but I could also sense another area past them that led to the next level that held the main bedroom.


    "This is a pretty great ce! Let''s go get you soaking so we can get back out to do some fighting! I really want to test out this new body before you change it again!" Marley dered as she started to strip down.


    "So you really do want to fight? I thought that was just your code for sex!" Iughed as I took my shirt off, walking over.


    "I do want to do that, but I think that this way will be more fun! I have never fought anyone naked before, so I thought that this might be a good way for us to get closer," Marley said as she turned away from me, covering her breasts with her arm.


    I nodded and took my pants off, walking over to the water and slowly sinking into it with my back turned to Marley. Something about this sudden shyness made me morefortable, and I waited for Marley to get into the water before turning back to face her.


    "Since we are here, I wanted to ask you something. It has been on my mind for a while now," I exined, and Marley nodded, seeming to know what I was going to ask.


    "It''s about all of us, right?" Marley asked, and I nodded.


    "Yeah, I really can''t figure it out. What makes all you girls want to be with me, regardless of the other women? Why does everyone seem okay with it? I feel like this is something I should keep to myself, but in the end, I wasn''t the one to make the choice," I exined, and Marley looked away from me, taking a deep breath.


    She didn''t reply right away, and I was d about that.


    I had really been worried that it might have something to do with the system, like it made the girls want to be with me. That was wrong and not something I wanted, but Marley considering what I had asked, made me less worried about that possibility.
