-3: 121
As usual, when I woke up, I wasn't alone in bed. But unlike usual...
'This is a first.'
...There was a record number of women with me.
There was Anis, of course. She had been first and had claimed my right arm. Her succubus costume was also completely ruined, and she had bite marks all over her body.
Mine, of course.
Rapi was there too, her face resting against my inner left thigh as she hugged my left leg. As for why she was there...
Well.
Rapi was the most eager out of everyone. And that was proven by the dried stains in various places on her nude body.
Endless was curled up on my chest like usual, also completely naked.
Rapunzel was curled up on my right leg, also completely naked and holding my leg against her VERY ample assets. And she had a pleased smile on her face, clearly sated. Mostly because I caved around 5 AM when she snuck inside.
On my left side and hugging my arm was Marian. It seemed like she'd snuck back in bed early this morning. She was also the only one still dressed, wearing her usual maternity gown.
And then, at that time, I realized that the pillow I was using was actually moving a bit. And smelled of roses.
So, curious, I turned my head a bit and saw that I was using Rose as a pillow. As for what part of her...
Well.
Petals.
They were visible. Along with stains on those petals.
I thought that'd be the end of it... but when I turned my head, I saw Guilty sitting on a chair nearby, sleeping, bound by sturdy ropes, and definitely covered with evidence that I gave her plenty of love too.
Not just her either.
There was a mystery girl with long black hair that was streaked with purple and silver highlights. She had a lithe body, along with a mask over her mouth and foxlike ears.
'Sin, right? I think that was her name.'
Quency had dropped her off in the middle of the chaos last night in my bedroom, and she ended up in the pile.
'Well, I definitely sinned with her...'
Maybe it was the fact Anis had opened with the seductive act and asking me to take advantage of her... but I was pretty raring to go all night.
And the result of that was scattered all around my bed.
Mihara and Yuni were sleeping on the couch nearby.
A glance past Anis revealed Shifty curled up and hugging a pillow.
"...I'm not sure if I should be proud or terrified of myself at this point." I quietly swept my gaze across the room and noticed quite a few more women in the mix.
Thankfully, I didn't see Hana, Nami, Suri, Laplace, or Drake.
...But I did see Maxwell and Syuen. Both naked and... well, clearly marked.
Ark Ranger Black was sleeping on the ground nearby, wearing a torn black jumpsuit in... well, particular places.
And with particular stains.
"...Okay, definitely terrified." I mumbled as I realized that I'd absolutely been intimate with over a dozen women throughout the night and didn't particularly care or stop until I was satisfied.
Maybe more too if they'd gotten up earlier than me.
And judging by the fact that the LED clock on the wall said noon, that was likely.
I let out a sigh and mumbled, "Pops is never gonna let me live this down, is he? ...Wait, no, I can just blame him."
The apple didn't fall too far from the tree, right?
I'd just pin the blame on the guy known as a womanizer when he was younger.
With that plan settled...
I carefully peeled myself free from all the woman hugging me.
Then I snuck into the bathroom to grab some towels and warm wipes.
After that, I diligently went around cleaning everyone and tucking them in to sleep properly, arranging makeshift beds as best as I could while letting them rest.
...The fact that not a single one stirred definitely meant that I'd tired them all out-
Ah.
Marian opened her eyes and saw me working. But she just rolled her eyes with a soft smile before going back to sleep, pulling Rapi in for a hug as a body pillow.
But after that minor incident, I successfully provided proper aftercare for all the women who were gracious enough to let me have my way with them, tucking them all into makeshift beds.
And then I left, gently shutting the door behind me.
===
The moment I arrived at the dorms to make some coffee before checking on Indi, I ran into Suri.
Unlike yesterday, where she was dressed like a primadonna with a glittering blue dress and drill-like twintails, she was in her usual combat attire, complete with her visor.
But even though she was wearing that visor, I could feel a fierce judging gaze on me as I walked inside.
"...Good morning, Suri."
"...You are the bane of all women everywhere, Commander. Do you even know how long you went at it...? Or how many women you pulled into bed?"
"...I gotta be honest, I actually don't. After Quency dropped Sin off, things got a bit hazy..."
Suri sighed. "...At least you're honest about it. You're definitely going down as a legendary commander for different reasons though..."
I laughed, rubbing the back of my neck.
Suri gave me a side-eye and then glanced down at my waist. After that, she looked back up and said, "How are you even walking right now?"
"Superhuman."
"...Oh, NOW you admit it."
"Suri, Bestie. I just had sex with over a dozen superhuman, tired them ALL out enough to where they're still unconscious, and here I am only mildly fatigued. I think I can't even joke about being human at this point."
I couldn't see it.
But I just KNEW Suri was giving me the meanest eyeroll right now.
"...Sure, Commander. Anyway, I saw some people camped out a bit outside the Outpost. Sophia mentioned they didn't come from the Ark, so it's probably a good idea to check on them."
"Huh?" I blinked. "Is it Raptilion?"
"She said they were unfamiliar, so probably not."
"Hm... Alright." I stretched and said, "I'll go looking for them after I check on Indi... Oh yeah. Where's Mustang and Miss Pretty by the way?"
"They went back to the Ark last night just after you had your dramatic exit."
"Right, that makes sense. They seemed like they had a history, so they probably want to catch up."
Suri sighed. "...I'm already having a headache just talking with you, Commander, so I'm heading off for the usual patrol."
"Sure, I'll just-" I paused, noticing something stuck to her back.
Suri froze. "...Why are you staring at me like that."
I stared at the colorful striped panties that was stuck on Suri's back. The same ones that matched what Hana was wearing last night after she accidentally flashed me.
Which meant-
"...No way. You and Hana?"
Suri turned a beet red and quickly grabbed at her back. Then she froze. "Th-This isn't... I mean... S-S-So what, huh?! What are you gonna do about it?"
"Nothing, really. ...But if I go up to your bedroom right now-"
"Don't you DARE."
I laughed and said, "Just joking. Happy for you two. I'll just be going then."
Now, to make some warm lemon honey tea for Indi, who was definitely having a stomach ache right about now...
===
"Ugh..." Indi massaged her stomach with her left hand as she sipped on the tea I gave her. "Why did the sweets betray me, Daddy...?"
I patted her head. "Things that taste good are never good for you in large amounts, Indi."
"Not fair..." Indi mumbled as she sipped on her tea again.
While she did that, I took a look around her room.
I didn't take too close a look yesterday, but it seemed like she'd redecorated it a bit since she first got it.
There were posters of the Ark Rangers, as well as Matis on the wall. Then there were some figurines too. Mostly of the Ark Rangers.
There was a golden signed Ark Ranger card in a toploader with a note saying 'From: Hope.'
A few drawings were taped up here and there. Mostly of a stick figure with gray armor labeled 'Daddy.' But there were a few dragons and jellyfish too with 'Nile' and 'Libby' written under it.
Indi noticed me staring and blushed. "Stop looking at my things, Daddy. It's weird."
"Sorry." I chuckled. "I'm just happy to see you're making this your home."
Indi tilted her head. "Of course it's my home."
I smiled at her.
'...Yeah. She definitely doesn't realize it.'
Indi was completely different from the Heretic known as Indivilia.
She had Indivilia's core, that was for sure. But either because of the weird way Raptures changed around me, the trauma from being eaten alive, or just Indivilia giving up on life, Indi was a completely different person.
And by that, I meant she was absolutely 100% a cute Daddy's girl who was super happy whenever she got a chance to spend time with me.
Indi huffed. "You're weird today, Daddy."
"Mm, just feeling a bit sentimental."
"Sentimetal? What's that? Does it make cool armor?!"
I laughed and said, "Sentimental. And sadly, no."
"Aw..."
I let her keep sipping her tea to calm her stomach. In the meanwhile, I went around her room and cleaned up the candywrappers and other thigns she left last night.
Seeing the candywrappers, Indi's nose wrinkled in disgust and betrayal. "...Sweets are a lie."
"Well, only if you have too much."
"Like Daddy and women?"
"Yes."
Indi nodded. "Daddy should be careful. At this rate, I'll have a lot of baby sisters."
I opened my mouth to protest that.
But then I paused to consider it.
And then I started to sweat. "...I will indeed be very careful, Indi."
'What are the odds that a Nikke's body will spontaneously adapt to allow for procreation?'
It was low, but not zero.
Like Marian showed.
...But Marian was also a special case since I was pretty sure she was modified differently.
...Which meant that Rapi had a chance of getting pregnant since her body was also different.
And Rose.
And-
Wait. Shifty wasn't a Nikke.
"Hm." I placed my hand on my chin. "...This might be my toughest battle yet."
Indi tilted her head. "...What battle, Daddy?"
"The battle for your Daddy's heart, Indi. But that's my problem, so you don't have to worry about it. Anyway... breakfast?"
"Oh! Can I have waffles?"
"Sure, Sweetie."
"Yay! ...Also, you should shower, Daddy. You smell like lots of perfume."
I sniffed my shirt.
I didn't smell anything... but if Indi smelled it, then I definitely did.
"Okay. You still have Daddy's spare clothes in your closet?"
"Yep!"
"You're the best, Sweetie."
"Of course! I'm your best daughter!"
"Don't tell Nile and Libby... but yes."
"Teehee~"
===
Hundreds of kilometers away in the artificial Ark constructed by the Four Beasts.
Liberalio tilted her head, as if she heard something.
Nihilister glanced at her. "What is it, Libby?"
Liberalio let out a bright smile and said, "Our dear baby sister is mouthing off again."
"Oh yeah?" Nihilister smirked. "Guess we gotta see if she knows how to fly when we get back."
"Indeed."
Liberalio giggled.
