Book 1: Chapter 15 (1/2)

“Akiko… I don’t know what to say…” Derek scratched his head. “I spoke to Hakaru but he’s completely lost it.”

Akiko sniffed, wiping the tears from her eyes. “He’s nothing like the guy I thought I knew. He took me, and now he’s spreading vile rumors all over school. No guy will ever love me again! I might as well be dead!”

Derek had a complicated look on his face, trying to come up with something to say. “Akiko, don’t be like that, you’ll always have me.”

“You have that other girl, Tori!” She cried out. “How could you possibly want me? Hakaru had me. He-he knew… about our relationship. He came in me last night. He said he wouldn’t be surprised if I got pregnant!”

“S-seriously? So, he knew, after all, no wonder he was looking at me that way.” Derek scratched his head, looking angry

“He said that you didn’t like soiled meat! That you’re too dickless to take me after he’s had me…”

I could only sigh inwardly, laughing to myself. Akiko’s words were relentless and manipulative. Of course, I had coached her a bit on what to say before she headed up to talk to Derek. It was lunchtime now, and she had taken everything I said and made it sound so natural. I could see her desperate lies whittling Derek down little by little. He was way too prideful and arrogant to let me win.

That was what it was about, after all. He wanted to win. It wasn’t about loving or caring about Akiko. It wasn’t even really about me. It was just about being better than everyone else. That’s why I made myself the enemy. I knew Derek and Derek had to be the hero.

Derek grabbed Akiko’s shoulders. “Look, Akiko, we’ve been together now almost as long as you’ve been with Hakaru. He turned out to be a piece of shit, I know, but I can’t have you thinking all men are like that.”

“Wh-what are you saying, Derek?” She asked through tear-stained eyes.

It was splendid watching the tables get turned on him. She was such a little liar, that as soon as I flipped her switch, she started lying and manipulating Derek with extreme ease. It was actually terrifying. I was glad that I had her under my ability. If not, she’d be a way to dangerous to keep around.

“It’ll be okay… if you consider me your boyfriend from now on.” Derek finally let out the words, looking only a little resistant.

I made a silent guts pose before turning back to the pair of them. This all worked exactly as well as I had hoped. I had thought it might take weeks to wear Derek down and get him to finally accept Akiko. I had planned to make her deprive him of sex as one of the ways to force him to accept her. How surprised he’d be when he realized that even after dating her, the sex never returned. In the end, Derek folded much quicker than I expected.

“What about Tori?” Akiko asked, looking hopeful, but hesitant.

“I-I will break up with her, I promise.” When he said those words, he nodded to himself, as if committing the idea to thought.

Well, supposing I had an embarrassing date where a girl laughed at my penis and I couldn’t get it up, I supposed I would also find it difficult to want to go on a second date.

“That… fucker…” A voice came quietly from behind me, causing me only to jump a little.

Of course, I recognized her voice immediately and glanced back to see Netori standing there, watching the couple interact just like I did.

“So, your first date sounded fun.” I teased her.

Netori sniffed. “Hmm… you’re going to gloat now? You wish to loose all progress with me then? Don’t think that it’s going to be this easy in the future. You’ll need 10,000 NTR points to break into level 3. You’re barely halfway there. Your morning blowjob barely gave you twenty points. It was pocket change!”

I gave a sigh. It looked like I couldn’t hide anything from Netori. She was aware of every action I took with another girl. There was no way I could deceive Netori into anything. Then again, I remembered that kiss. Shortly after that, I had gained a bunch of NTR points. That meant there was some advantage in wooing Netori.

Perhaps, Netori was the most important person to steal. However, I didn’t understand much about her. She was a goddess after all. The very way she thought was completely alien to me. She had more of a last boss feel, so I dropped the idea of dating her for now.

Netori noticed my look and crossed her arms. “Don’t be thinking you’ve made any particular progress with me. I am the goddess of theft. I could hardly be moved so easily by some human. You just caught me off guard last time. It won’t happen again. Any affection this stupid device may have said you earned was already lost.”

“Lost? Really? What did I do?” I asked, genuinely surprised that she admitted there had been progress made.

“You think you can sleep with other women casually and it wouldn’t affect my mood? Especially with that skank girlfriend of yours?” Netori threw back her hair in a huff. “Plus, you made my boyfriend break up with me, how could I be happy at that?”

“Who knows if he’ll break up with you or just date both of you at the same time?” I shrugged, causing Netori’s eyes to glimmer slightly. “That reminds me… why did you end up laughing at his penis?”

“Hmm…” Netori raised an eyebrow. “Oh, when he took off his pants, he wasn’t hard yet. He has two big, hairy balls along with an uncircumcised shaft. When I saw it, it reminded me of a turkey neck. I couldn’t help but laugh. To be so proud he couldn’t get it up after. Hmph, what a loser.”

I let out a chuckle feeling some relief that it wasn’t more complicated than Netori being Netori, “Is that how it was…”

“So… what do we have here?” Netori pushed forward, looking through the door.

“Don’t act like you don’t already know…” I laughed.

“Hmm?”

“Look!” I pointed at the couple.

“So, baby, since we’re going out now…” Derek pressed up against Akiko, going in to kiss her.

She dodged his advances. “Ah! I’d love to, Derek. I really would. Unfortunately, I-I didn’t bring a condom. Remember, Hakaru came in me last night. If I were to become pregnant, you wouldn’t want to be stuck raising his baby, right?”

“Huh?” Derek let out a shocked noise.

“T-that’s right, that’s why we have to play it safe for a while.”

Derek frowned, but after a moment, he nodded. “Tonight, come to my house. My sister’s a pharmacologist, I can get you a day after pill on the low.”

“O-oh… thanks!” Akiko put on a smile that only looked slightly sick.

“You didn’t cum in her…” Netori frowned, glancing at her device. “It’d be on my records.”

“You seriously don’t know what happened?”

Netori blushed. “I-i don’t know everything. I’m not always watching, okay? What did you do?”

I chuckled imagining just how flustered I must have made her that she didn’t pay attention to me enacting my plan, “I broke up with Akiko last night.”

“Eh? Wh-why would you do that?” Netori glared. “She was getting you extra points with Derek!”

Realizing that Netori seriously hadn’t been paying attention, I sighed and began to explain it all out. “I used my new ability on her. I entered into a promise with her that she does whatever I want and she can’t reject it. She agreed to break up with me in front of the school, and I agreed to help her get with Derek. Now, the tables are turned. Akiko is Derek’s girlfriend, and I’m the man she cheats with.”

“That ability… it can’t be used in this way.” Netori frowned.

“Huh? What do you mean?”
