Leon awoke the following day with Caitlyn and Lindy clinging to him. He did not go to mattress in one of the best temper, so his companions smothered him with love.

He was on a mattress inside a tent. Whereas there was loads of housing, everybody in Harem Metropolis nonetheless assembled in a single location to construct relationships.

“Okay. Let’s rise up.” He sighed.

The second he stated these phrases, Caitlyn’s eyes snapped open in essentially the most crazed manner conceivable.

“Okay.” Caitlyn replied whereas sitting up and blinking whereas watching him with a heat smile.

Leon did not know if he’d ever get used to her methodology of waking up. He did not thoughts that she obtained up rapidly. Nonetheless, watching her eyes twitch to stave off sleepiness whereas watching him made her look deranged.

“You will not win, Caitlyn….” Lindy groaned whereas lifting her head from the inexperienced pillow beneath her.

“I will win….” Her head smashed down on the pillow with the total weight of gravity. She wasn’t a morning particular person and was exhausted after making a fifty-mile Phlegethon river.

So he gave her a delicate, wry smile earlier than standing up. He grabbed a narcolepsy remedy bottle and stared at it.

Leon had an aggressive sleep schedule drilled into him since he was born. So he could not sleep anymore, however he wished he may. All the pieces he skilled the day earlier than was tough.

One of many fundamental advantages of getting no feelings was that he by no means had adverse feelings besides reactions to his phobia.

Yesterday modified that.

Leon felt rage, disappointment, and concern for his companions fifty miles north of Harem Metropolis.

Then he returned, and Reina, one of many three folks he had slight feelings for, obtained attacked. It got here out she was sacrificing herself to guard him the entire time.

Worst of all, Manny virtually broadcasted false claims about him to over 1,000,000 candidates and tens of millions of gods throughout the cosmos. He realized he had a devastating weak spot that individuals may simply exploit.

“I do know it is egocentric for me to say this, however please take it love.” Caitlyn whispered from behind him whereas wrapping her arms round his neck.

“Am I that straightforward to determine?” Leon chuckled bitterly.

“Strategic utilization of your remedy is you specialty.” She giggled softly.

“His specialty is in his fingers.” Lindy groaned in her sleep, “Nothing else compares.”

Leon closed his eyes and chuckled breathlessly. He opened the bottle and took the modafinil tablet inside. “Effectively, no less than these items offers me a hell of a buzz.”

Narcolepsy would not usually trigger an individual to go to sleep randomly from a traditional state. It makes folks excessively drowsy in the course of the day.

So the medication narcoleptics get proscribed have leisure road worth like amphetamines. Modafinil was not an amphetamine, nevertheless it had comparable results.

He smiled wryly, realizing that he’d be wakeful all day as he put it into his mouth and dry swallowed the blue tablet.

“Okay. Let’s get going.” Leon sighed.

He walked out of his tent, and his eyes widened in shock. A lightweight blue bunny woman was sleeping on a small cot exterior of it.

“Ummm… hello, Tricksie?” He stated awkwardly.

“Guaguuuah.” The bunny woman groaned, “Silly alarm. So impolite. So motherfucking impolite, wreck a woman’s sleep. I will educate you the implications of nuking my slumber palace.”

She reflexively reached for an invisible alarm clock however discovered a big rock as an alternative. Nonetheless one-quarter awake, the big rock shrunk to the dimensions of a pebble, and he or she tossed it out of the best way.

Whoooooosh! Increase!

Leon rotated and noticed his tent tipped as a big rock ripped by it. He stared at it blankly.

“Okay, okay! I will rise up!” Lindy cried from the tent.

Tricksie opened her eyes in confusion on the yelling girl and loud growth and turned to the left and proper earlier than wanting up and seeing Leon staring blankly at her.

“Oh! Leon…. I… um… a woman wants her magnificence sleep… and….” She stammered. Her eyes full of defeat, and her gentle bunny ears drooped.

Leon scoff-laughed in amusement. “Tricksie, that ability, and hidden character make you particular. So stick with it.”

Her eyes sparkled, and her ears popped up with happiness. They swayed to the aspect with happiness however stopped when she noticed Caitlyn’s murderous glare.

The 2 instantly stood off till Leon grabbed Caitlyn’s scalp, turned her head, and walked to the meals space.

“Aren’t you gonna ask why I used to be sleeping right here?” Tricksie requested as he walked away.

“I am certain you might have your causes.” He replied, “So do what you want and take a look at to not break issues I personal.”

The bunny woman pouted a second earlier than Lindy stormed out of the tent.

“Hey, smash rabbit!” Lindy yelled, “You are normally a extremely fuckin’ [cool bunny], however proper now, you are a low-grade [cunt bunny]! Do your cool shit quietly, and do not wake me up once more, or I will boil you into rabbit stew!”

Tricksie blinked twice in confusion. She wished to get offended, however no less than 50% of what Lindy stated was a praise. That left her perplexed.

“Are you complimenting me or threatening me?” She requested in perplexion.

“Each!” Lindy snapped earlier than turning towards Leon and Caitlyn and stomping away.

“Fuckin’ cute ass crush bunny.” She grumbled, “She’s stunning and charming and has fluffy Leon magnets on her rattling head, however she nonetheless complains.”

“Hey!” Tricksie yelled whereas working after her.

Lindy turned to the bunny woman with homicide in her eyes. “What?”

“How do you try this?” Tricksie requested in perplexion.

“Do what?” Lindy requested in annoyance.

Tricksie’s eyes glided to the left nervously, making an attempt not to surrender an excessive amount of. “Launch anger and never… you already know… smash issues?”

Lindy’s eyes narrowed in confusion. “Are you saying you might have a mood drawback, huff fluff?”

“Huff fluff?” Tricksie giggled whereas closing her eyes and flashing Lindy a smile. The latter seemed down and noticed the bunny girl’s nails digging into her palms.

“Knew it.” Lindy chuckled with a realizing smile.

Tricksie’s eyes widened, and her ears drooped, realizing she obtained performed.

Lindy gave her a slight smile. “Look, discover the great issues in folks after which level them out when you grill them. It is a survival mechanism for folks with mood issues.”

The bunny girl blinked twice.

“Survival mechanism? Individuals I get offended with, you already know, SMASH! Get it?” Tricksie giggled, “I do not actually have an issue surviving.”

“Identify upgrated: Twist Equipment.” Lindy chuckled in disbelief. (1)

“Do not name me a baby!” Tricksie huffed indignantly.

“Then do not act like one. Look, simply smash no matter you need so long as it would not hassle Leon, kay?” The brunette stated bluntly, “You are mentally deranged; nobody cares. Now, I’ve to be with my man. Later.”

Lindy turned her head ahead and continued strolling, leaving the bunny girl shocked. She walked down the park and headed to the tables the breakfast workforce was unfolding.

Leon sat at a desk on a bench, staring blankly at nothing.

She walked up and wrapped her palms round his neck, and touched his chest.

“Hey, Lindy.” He stated with a delicate voice. Whereas he was smiling, his eyes weren’t smiling.

“Hey.” Lindy whispered.

Caitlyn stared at him like a compliant kitten, not realizing what to do.

“Can I… be a part of you, Leon?” Reina requested from his aspect.

“After all.” Leon chuckled lifelessly whereas motioning to the opposite aspect of the desk.

Caitlyn and Lindy checked out Reina with narrowed eyes. Whereas they did not thoughts her being insane, they did not like that she toyed with them for his or her amusement.

It was a stark distinction between Caitlyn, who hid her character for authorized causes, and Lindy, who hid her habit. Each had causes for mendacity, and it wasn’t for amusement.

“Um… Leon?” Reina stated, “Are you able to please ask Caitlyn and Lindy if it is okay if I sit right here?”

Leon’s eyes widened in perplexion. “They’re… proper right here.”

“Ah, sure. It is simply that if I ask them, I will not belief what they are saying. So I will not be snug.” Reina replied.

He did not know whether or not to chuckle or cry at her confession. One interplay advised Leon that sincere Reina was extraordinarily insecure to the purpose of being terrifyingly annoying.

“Look, it is okay in the event you sit. Okay?” Leon stated.

Reina nodded and sat down awkwardly, glancing at Caitlyn and Lindy with gentle disgust.

“Is there an issue?” He requested in annoyance.

“They’re obvious at me please make them cease.” She requested.

Leon’s eyebrow twitched, and each girls growled. “No… cannot you simply faux they do not exist?”

“Positive. If that is what you need.” Reina replied with a resolute nod, “So, Leon. Thanks a lot for being… so type to me yesterday.”

Her confidence and rest doubled immediately, gorgeous everybody current.

“No. I ought to be thanking you.” Leon replied with a nod.

“There is no have to thank me.” Reina stated, “I wanted to regain your belief after mendacity to you.”

“Ahem.” Lindy coughed, indicating that apologies had been additionally owed to her [friends]. Nonetheless, the lady did not even look at her.

Leon turned to Lindy after which again to Reina and narrowed his eyes.

“Did I say one thing improper?” She requested.

“No…. Thanks for rebuilding belief.” He sighed.

“After all. I hope you will proceed inserting religion in me.” Reina stated, “I promise to remain loyal to you.”

Leon laugh-scoffed. “100 repute factors say you’ll.”

Reina giggled playfully. Her repute with Leon skyrocketed to 100 over the week. Now her emotion multiplier was jacked by the roof.

In brief, he was apprehensive about how she’d twist. Nonetheless, she appeared actually mellow—too mellow.

“Effectively, you are formally considered one of us.” Leon stated with a slight smile.

Reina’s eyes widened in confusion. “One in every of us? Who’re you speaking about?”

Caitlyn and Lindy’s eyes full of murderous rage. Nonetheless, the lady did not discover them.

Leon seemed on the two girls respiration smoke, then again at Reina in perplexion. His companions had been the 2 most feared folks in Harem Metropolis, but she did not blink at their rage.

She did not even register them.

“Reina. What do you consider Caitlyn’s hair?” Leon requested whereas holding the blonde again.

“Who’s Caitlyn?” Reina requested whereas blinking twice.

—

[Sanctuary has blocked an attack. The enemy is in a safe zone and cannot be ejected.]

—

Caitlyn tried hitting Reina, however the girl did not even blink. Nonetheless, Leon may see sweat beading round her neck.

He pulled Caitlyn again and narrowed his eyes at Reina.

“Reina cease pretending Caitlyn would not exist and [pretend] you’re keen on her as an alternative.” Leon instructed.

Reina gulped and closed her eyes, taking a number of deep breaths. She opened her eyes.

“Hey… Caitlyn.” She stated nervously with a slight blush, “Your… hair seems to be good right now.”

Reina waved her palms in entrance of her face in embarrassment.

“I-I imply, you all the time look good.” She stated whereas turning away with a blush, “It is simply that you simply look additional good right now.”

Leon, Caitlyn, and checked out one another in excessive perplexion. Mere moments earlier than, the lady ignored the 2 to a suicidal extent. Now, she seemed like she had a helpless crush on Caitlyn. It wasn’t simply bewildering; it was surreal.
