47 Kurumi's Interest
Adam woke up in the new house. On his left was a naked Mikasa that latched onto him as hard as she could, on his right was Raikou who held his arm in her breasts. The rest of the girls didn't join them last night, it seems they didn't want to intrude. He got up from his slumber and dressed in his school uniform, it was only Thursday after all. The internships started next week on Monday.
He went downstairs, Mikasa followed behind him. This surprised Adam, he didn't even know she was awake much less following him. Regardless, they met up with Eve, Yuno, Nemuri and Yumeko to have a small breakfast before going to school.
They got to class. Nemuri made sure to give as many flirtatious looks as possible towards Adam. The class ended and the time for Adam's date with Ning'er arose. He told his girls to go home and followed Ning'er.
She led him to a traditional looking Japanese house. He was led inside and was greeted by the sight of a large hall with golden statues of old men. Below the grandiose statues were a bunch of old men in robes with angry looks on their faces. Ning'er bowed to them.
"Clan Leaders, this is my friend that cured me from my disease." She stated. Their expressions lightened slightly.
"Ning'er, no matter what he did for you, you brought a man home even though you are engaged. Do you have any idea how this damages our reputation?" The most annoying-looking old man said. Adam already felt a headache approaching, he summoned his apple and started munching.
'These clan leaders obviously aren't much of a threat if they don't even know who I am.' Adam thought to himself.
"With all due respect Clan Leader, this man saved my life. I believe that not properly paying back those who helped us would hurt our reputation even more." She replied. Adam nodded at her words, Nie Lie was definitely chasing after the wrong girl. The old men grew veins on their heads.
"Xiao Ning! Don't talk back to us! You will escort this man out of our manor at once!" The annoyance blabbered. Before Ning'er could reply Adam did.
"Shall I become her fiancé then?" Adam suggested. Ning'er's face turned a bright red in embarrassment. The old men's faces turned red in anger.
"Don't be insolent you brat!" One of them screeched.
"Ning'er, who's your fiancé?" Adam asked without paying attention to the old men. Obviously Adam already knew that it was Shen Hong however he didn't need to draw more attention to himself than required.
"It's Shen Hong of the Sacred Family!" One of the old men yelled in arrogance. They thought that the name of the Sacred Family would scare this young man out of his shoes. But all they saw was him continuing to eat his apple.
"Ok what's his phone number?" Adam asked.
'Why is this happening? I just wanted him to look at some of the scrolls I found!' Ning'er screamed internally. "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" She said out loud. Before anyone had the chance to get mad at her Adam pulled out his phone and started putting in the numbers.
The phone started to ring. After a second, the call was picked up.
"Hey, it this Shen Hong?" Adam asked. Everyone was astonished by his actions, they hadn't met a man like this before in their lives.
"Who's asking." A voice rung out from the phone. Adam had it on loud speaker so everyone else could hear it as well.
"My name is Adam. The gist of the situation is; I was stopped from hanging out with Ning'er because she was engaged to you. So... mind breaking off the engagement or letting me be her fiancé?" He asked. Everyone was silent. Not only has he just phoned up his enemy, he also just asked to steal his girl!
"WHO THE FUCK DO YOU---" Shen Hong's voice was interrupted by a voice in the background. They exchanged words for a while. It took a minute before he came back.
"I'd like to duel you. If you win, you can have Ning'er. If I win, I'd like you to give me your abilities through a ritual." Shen Hong now said calmly but with an obvious undertone of bitter hatred. Adam had a pretty good idea of what happened. The sacred family recognized the name as Adam Oosuki, the new SSS-rank. If they could get their hands on that power, they were free to rule as they pleased. But this lead Adam to another thought, was it possible that the Dark Guild was responsible for the (most likely) slaughter of his original parents?
"Sure, I'd like that." Adam said with a smile. He hung up the phone and gave a confident smirk to the old men. The fight was scheduled for tomorrow on Friday after school. Ning'er was confident that Adam would win but she still became nervous.
"So old dudes. You won't have any problem if I'm her fiancé right? I'll see you tomorrow." Adam smirked and left but not before winking at Ning'er. She averted her eyes and blushed.
On his way home he felt a chill go up his spine. Looking behind him he saw an attractive black-haired girl. Kurumi Tokisaki was looking at him and licking her lips. She approached Adam.
"I've been quite interested in you for a while now." She said in a seductive tone.
"I know." Adam simply replied. Kurumi sightly recoiled from the blunt response.
"I wonder how much time you'd give me" She continued her speech.
"Rather than thinking about how much I'd give you, you should be concerned about how much you'd lose in a fight with me." Adam's confident smile slightly unnerved Kurumi.
"How about we put that theory to the test then bad boy?" Kurumi caressed his arm in a seductive manner. She then pulled out a gun and shot Adam's skull. Blood splattered all over the walls and fragments of his skull littered the alleyway. Kurumi's happy expression grew into an ecstatic one. Suddenly, she realized that she didn't feel any time being added to her body. Looking back at Adam's corpse, she saw him there, eating an apple as if he wasn't just killed.
"I really like your ability. Although dying costs a lot of time." He said. He punched her in the stomach and she went flying down the alleyway.

------------------------
The rest of the fight only took 5mins.
Kurumi revived herself and summoned many of herself. Adam was now surrounded by 20 Kurumis. He activated minor ultra-instinct and moved through the hail of bullet that Kurumi was hailing him with. Adam went to each Kurumi and giving them all a good stomach rub. Adam was currently using one of his skills to the full effect.
Luck Of The Fool: Rolls a d20 dice, The higher the roll, the more damage the next attack does. 10% - 200% MP Cost : 100
Kurumi only had so much time to spend. She was usually the best in wars of attrition, she had multiple disposable lives after all but when none of her attacks land and all of her opponent's does? She didn't have much of a chance. Soon, Kurumi was lying on the ground, she only had one life left and it was fading quickly. Adam walked up to her.
"You really took a while to take down." He commented. She laughed up some blood.
"Why are your abilities so bullshit?" She questioned.
"Not sure." Adam said. He crouched down over Kurumi's dying body and put his hand on her chest. He transferred of his time to her.
"I only have you a day's worth of time, go kill some bastards to get some more." Adam said. His life had decreased by about one month and one day from this fight. It took a month to revive himself and a day to give to Kurumi. Although it didn't matter much, Adam knew that his life would go on much longer than others.
"Why?" Kurumi asked.
"Why not? It's better not to leave such a pretty face to become a corpse. And as long as you're only killing people who deserve it then I really don't care." He commented. Adam then left the alleyway and continued his way back home.
-----------------------
Kurumi's Affection Increased!
Very Interested ---> Stalker
-----------------------
Adam was dumbfounded by the system notification. What is the difference between Yuno's 'Overwhelming Obsessive Love' and 'Stalker'?. Adam decided to keep it in the back of his mind and try to think of anything else.
(A.N. How did you guys like this action scene? I tried to make it longer and more enjoyable.)
Adam got home to his women. They welcomed him in with open arms.
"Hey Adam?" Albedo grabbed his attention. The second Adam turned around and looked at her, she pushed her lips onto his and they began making out for 20secs.
"Let's go on a date, it's been a while." She said. Adam nodded and he was taken back outside. Albedo took him to a café. It was a normal place for a date, not too grandiose but not too shabby either. Many people were surprised to see a beautiful woman with horns and wings come through the door but as different races were quite common, their eyes quickly returned back to normal.
The two sat down. A barista approaches them.
"May I ask what such a fine couple is doing here on a Thursday Night?" She asked. It was a simple compliment and question but Albedo was extremely pleased. Rather than being happy that she was called attractive, she seemed more happy that Adam had been. 'Did I get a defective Albedo? Why is she happy rather than killing her?' Adam questioned himself but he soon ignored it.
"I'll take a Hot Chocolate." Adam replied.
"I'll take what he's having." Albedo added.
(A.N. Sorry, I couldn't continue this chapter, I'll take off where I left it tomorrow but I have to go to sleep early tonight. I'll probably do 2 chapter tomorrow to make up for it but no promises.)
