198 Vol. 4 pt. 1 Patch 1.0: Settling In (2/2)

She stares intently down at his phone.

”I already deleted all the weird hentai I had on it,” Ryouta explains. ”No secret folders are safe with Serra around.”

Serra sneezes while lazily sprawled out on top of their new couch.

”Is your mom still as mad as him?” Ryouta asks Cassandra.

”She's getting over it, but she's still being a bitch. Probably just jealous I actually know how to have a successful relationship instead of getting divorced five times and counting,” Cassandra says, causing both Ryouta and Alice to cringe from her harsh words toward her own mother.

”Well, maybe she'll learn from you. You don't plan on divorcing me, right?”

Cassandra glares up at him. ”Of course I'm not. Are you?”

”You know I'm not,” he says, kissing her again.

”I know… sorry. I'm just so pissed off and stressed out over this bullshit.”

Alice, having snuck up behind Cassandra, grabs her by her hips and pulls the blonde down onto her lap.

”H-hey! What do you think you're doing?” Cassandra asks, squirming around on top of Alice's lap with reddened cheeks.

”There, there,” Alice says, keeping one hand wrapped around Cassandra's waist while petting the top of her head with her other hand. ”Nobody is getting divorced, and now we may all happily live together! I already told you before, but I shall say it again: let us be happy today.”

Cassandra pouts but relaxes her body.

Once more, Ryouta is beaten to getting any action with Alice's lap.

However, there is somebody who wants to give Ryouta some attention, and that somebody is a certain munchkin climbing up his back like a koala and wrapping her legs and arms around him.

Serra rests her head on Ryouta's shoulder and licks the lobe of his ear.

Ryouta blushes and shivers, placing his hands underneath her thighs to keep her held up.

”Hmph. You never give me piggyback rides,” Cassandra says.

”Is… is that something you want?” Ryouta asks her.

”It's – it's not like I want one or anything… maybe.”

”That does sound rather pleasant! My hero, you are certainly going to develop more muscles from carrying us all around on your back,” Alice says.

”What am I? A spider mom? I can't just carry you all around on my back,” Ryouta says.

”Of course not! You must start off with only one of us at a time to build up your strength. Serra will be able to cling to the center of your back, and then Cassandra and I shall cling to the sides of it!”

Ryouta pictures how that would work in his mind. He just imagines himself as a spider with his regular human head, and then his girlfriends as spiders with their normal heads all sitting on top of his back like spiders on their mom.

He shakes that disturbing picture out of his head.

”Think of it as practice for when we have children! I am sure that our many children will wish to hang all over you!” Alice says.

Cassandra nods and so does Serra since she's been reading Alice's lips.

”It's – it's not like we're going to be having kids anytime soon,” Ryouta says.

”Why not?” Cassandra asks without realizing how blunt that question and its implications are.

Ryouta always thought that having his own house would be a nice, easy life.

He now realizes just how foolish that was.
