"They're not dirty!...B-But seriously...you're not under my spell. T-this has never happened before, even with men with deviant tastes..."
"Hey! I told you my tastes are normal."
"So my enchantment really has no effect on you...~ hehe~This is interesting, hehe~."
"Hey, fish woman, what are you muttering about? Did you end up enchanted instead?"
"What?! Stop talking nonsense, you scaredy little dragon!"
"Who's scared!? Hmph! Don't change the subject... tell me, why do you look happy even though you failed?"
"Hee~ oh, I get it... you're trying to provoke me just because I called you scared? Scaredy? So what if I'm happy? I just found it interesting. After all, stuff like this never happens outside my family. The unexpected is fun."
"Tsk, don't lie. It's obvious what's going on here. This is one of those cases where, when the enchantment doesn't work, that alone makes you fall... it's so common, it's like.."
"Oh! A cliché, right?"
"Yes, that's right! The enchantress falls in love because her enchantment doesn't work. It's so overused that it's boring... like the one where after saving a damsel in distress, she falls in love."
"You know... I would agree with you, but the truth is that it already happened to me in my world. No, wait, now that I think about it, she said it wasn't when I helped her, but later... Yes, after all, such a cliché situation is ridiculous unless you're in 2D."
"/_\"
"Yes, a woman who only falls in love because someone rescued her would be very easy and insubstantial."
"I've always wondered how that happens, if she doesn't even know what kind of person saved her."
"That's a good point. Those shallow characters are boring and predictable! But there's one that especially bothers me, and that's the cliché of the childhood friend who is madly in love just because of some silly thing the protagonist did when they were kids."
"Well, that's true. You know, sometimes they meet as adults, but the woman just falls in love when she finally finds out he's her childhood friend."
"That's exactly what I'm talking about! She doesn't even like him... in fact, what she likes about him is more his memory. That's why they always lose."
"I completely agree. But clichés aren't bad in some contexts. That's why I like the harem genre, where everyone wins, even those. I mean, even though they're clichés... or rather because they are, you get attached to them easily, and they leave a bad taste in your mouth when they lose."
"You're right about that. Besides the clichés, it really bothers me when they're all so good... and in the end I only have to choose one. I mean, if it's fiction, why not choose them all?! What's the need to choose?"
"Exactly! That's why 2D is ideal for—"
"Hey! You two, stop! What are you suddenly talking about? What's cliché? 'Childhood sweethearts' and harem? Cazzy, do you have a harem?!"
"Oh, no, it's not that, it's just that in my world... 눈_눈 wait a minute... Celes, how do you know what I was talking about? Because we had that conversation."
"Huh? ... Ah!! N-no... ahem, I don't understand what you mean, my subordinate. I, someone with the draconic lineage anc—!"
"Wait, don't start with the Chunni, answer my question. Are you from my world? We were obviously talking about the same thing."
"Who is Chun-ugh! I already told you no. Besides, we don't come from the same world. My world does have mana. Otherwise, how would I inherit my lineage?"
"Hmm 눈_눈, technologically speaking, how advanced is your world?"
"Hmph!, my world is in the medieval era, with magical flying ships and everything."
"Hey, no one who lives in a medieval age says something like that. Besides, you're dressed in oriental clothing, aren't you mixing up your terms? You're copying Ria."
"W-what! Don't impose your world's standards on me. Besides, my clothes are from the south. Ahem, no, first of all, who do you think you are to question me? I do know some words! My world is literarily advanced, okay? Not everything is measured by your absurd categories. Do you really think everything has to fit into what you understand?"
"눈_눈...Well, that's true... hmm, although it seems like you have a lot of things mixed up there. Maybe it's just my point of view."
"Y-yes, that's right, I'm glad you're putting your senseless ignorance aside."
"Hmm, but if it's literarily advanced and you understand so many terms that align with my world... it makes it not impossible for you to have Chunni. Besides, you seem to know what it is."
"Yes, I know! And I already told you that I don't have that. I am the rightful heir to a lineage of ancient dragons...!"
"Hmm... By the way, what is your world called?"
"My-Myndaros."
"(눈_눈) Hmm, why does it sound so similar to Ria's?"
"I don't know!! And enough of this! It doesn't make sense. I don't know why I stooped to talking nonsense. God... ahem, leader, isn't it time to sleep? Or isn't it time to organize the groups? By the way, I don't want to be with him, his ignorance is unbearable..."
"Chunni."
"Grrr! I'm going to bite you again, bastard!"
"Huh? I didn't say that. Hey, Luna, don't imitate my voice."
"Haha~ I don't know what that word means, but it seems like the little dragon is upset, so~."
"Do you see what you did?!"
"Well, if you're not, there shouldn't be any problem, right? By the way, Ling-Ling says she wants to form a group with me. Is there any problem if we go first?"
"No, in fact, I appreciate it. Umm, there are no clocks, so we'll have to measure it by feel. It will be rotations of approximately two hours. Miss Ellys and I will do the second one, and the rest of you will do the last one. Well, we don't know what tomorrow will bring, so I hope you get some rest."
"Boo~ I wanted to talk a little more... well, I need my beauty sleep."
"Hee~"
"Hey, Cazzy, why are you laughing?"
"No, it's nothing. Have a good night, see you tomorrow. Hey, Ling-Ling, tell me a little about the arts and how they work. Even though I have it in my head, I don't know where to start. Also tell me about your world... maybe I'm misunderstanding it too."
It was a long day, and it was finally time to sleep. The groups were decided quickly, everyone got up and went to where they would sleep, although there was one person who moved hesitantly while looking at the two who stayed for the first shift.
"..."
"Hee~ what's wrong, little angel? Don't you like your group? Or don't you like something about another group?"
"…"
"Hehe~ your silence is an answer. Well, it's already decided anyway, so come on, let's go to sleep. There are three beds in the room, I'll say it, but sleeping on the floor is out of the question for me, so why don't you share one with me? You look nice to cuddle."
"…"
"Hahaha, well, let's leave it to chance. By the way, don't you want to take a bath? It'll be quick if we work together, what do you think?"
"...okay."
"yeah!"
..
.
"Mmhgn~ Honey."
"Hmm? Nora, don't get into my bed. Snff~ it feels good... well, just a little longer."
With the first rays of sunlight dawning, Cassian regained some consciousness and sensed someone near him.
His mind, still half asleep, came to a conclusion: it was surely Nora, who had gotten into his bed again, even though he always made sure to lock all twelve bolts.
But today there was a different feeling: more pleasant, less intrusive. He didn't understand why, but Cassian felt a comfort that was difficult to describe, and instead of scolding her, he let himself go and enjoyed that pleasant warmth a little longer.
He even did something he didn't normally do: he buried his head deeper into her chest as he held her tighter.
"Ummnh~ Honey, you're tickling me, fufufu~... just a little more..."
"Yes~... hm?"
"...." (Wake up)
" What's wrong? I want to sleep... mhn?"
Just as they were about to fall asleep again, he felt someone hugging him from behind. And even though he had expressed his desire to continue sleeping, that person insisted, which inevitably caused Cassian to begin to regain more clarity.
And then he realized that he had let himself go. If Nora used this as an excuse later, she might...
"Nora?... Hmm? Wait, Nora!?... I'm not...!!"
He immediately remembered that he wasn't at home. That thought set off all his alarms, and his mind finally reacted as he opened his eyes.
Indeed, she had voluptuous breasts in front of him, but they were not the right color and not only that out of the corner of his eye, he could see a dark brown nipple.
As far as he could remember, Nora's were unusually pink, just like her fair skin. The woman he was hugging was not Nora.
Quickly realizing this, Cassian stopped squeezing her and, not quite sure what was going on, thought about carefully pulling away, but...
"Haaah! There are intruders, sister!! Mom!! Dad!!"
"Huh? What intruders!?... ey!, what do you think you're doing with my wife!? Where's my spear!?"
A scream came from the next room, echoing throughout the room. But the important thing was that right after that Cassian heard a male voice very close... right behind him.
"!!!"
He sensed danger, so without worrying about who he was hugging, he immediately moved and dodged.
He spun around and quickly regained his composure. He looked toward the bed where he had been lying.
A man was staring directly at him as he thrust a spear right where he had been lying. Next to him, a woman watched him as she covered herself with the blanket.
Oh, a beautiful MILF. No, this isn't the time for this... or is it? No, it's not! Where are the others? What's the situation?
