Meeting with The Regressor (1)

Yawn..

I got up and placed my head on my forehead. Squinting my eyes open and scanning my surroundings.. um, yeah.

I turned to Liliath– wearing a loose shirt, her shoulders exposed.

"Liliath, we're here," I shook her.

"Nm?" she opened her sombre eyes and looked at me, "Morning."

"Morning… technically not."

Liliath got up and then turned to Rin.

"Rina.. we're here.." Lilith Shook her shoulders.

Different from Liliath's sublime demeanor, Rin shook– stretched her limb out with a big wide yawn before finally opening her eyes.

"I'm tired.." she said.

"Come on. We have to prepare before the guests wake."

Rina nodded with whatever energy she had and crawled up.

The three of us got out of bed.

"What is this?" Bleu came over from the couch and looked at us, then at them. Sky blue hair cascading down her back, eyes gleaming in a golden glow… this was the Goddess Bleu.

"You should know right?"

"I'm slightly surprised you hadn't asked for my permission."

"It's Nine's idea."

"I know."

Bleu walked to the edge of the large circular bed closest to where Nine was and..

"Tickles.."

.. started groping her breasts. Her? Yes, just for this occasion, Nine has to show up as a girl.

Rin had already gone to wake up Prune.

"Eh.. w-what.. you.." Nine suppressed the urge to scream..

"Did you think this is your house?"

Nine remained silent, but her face contorted in sync to well.. um.. the way Bleu 'massaged' her.

"I'll let you go this time. No need to thank me," Bleu siad, then released Nine.

"R-Right.." Nine got up and hung her head. After that, she turned to the four guests.

Jiwon, Laura, Aoki and Takata.

Man.. it's like a cereal sleepover. What's that? It's made-up gibberish saying that everyone was sleeping on the same bed.

I'm surprised that the Regressor, Jiwon, is still asleep. I was thinking maybe he'd have that cliche ability to react at the smallest of sounds.

"He's awake," to my internal question, perhaps, Bleu replied.

"Awake huh.. nevermind. We'll just wait until everyone gets up, want some milk tea today? Oh, and thanks for this Bleu," I turned to Liliath and Rin to ask, and then to Bleu.

"Bleu at your service."

"Sure," Liliath replied. Rin just nodded.

We moved to the coffee table and started making our drinks. Yet again for some reason, Nine is getting a large chocolate milkshake with banana splits, whip cream, sprinkles and cookie rolls.

I prefer a simple milk tea so.. no qualms there.

"What place do you want to have your discussion, Noel? Nine has already decided his spot, and I'll assist him," Bleu said.

"Where can we go?"

"Somewhere that isn't the supermarket."

"Then a cafe with cakes and all."

"Fine," Bleu drawled, her knuckles to her chin.

Heh..

"Should we wake them up?" Prune asked.

"I'm kinda scared that the moment we get close the Regressor would like.. take one of us hostage. Like in those cliche police dramas," I joked.

"He's awake, just pretending to sleep," Bleu said.

"So? Should we try to entice them with food?" Nine recommended.

"Good idea," what kind of shitty good idea is this? In any case, Bleu pulled out steamy buckets of fried chicken, cheese drizzled wedges, mega-sized burgers and twirly sweet potato fries.. until it covered half the table.

Like hell would this work..

Oh..

Oh me oh fuck I was wrong..

"Is this.. fast food?"

Who is this again? Takata, right? When did she get here?

She looked at the food, then at us. As a side note, WARNING: she was wearing a lewd nightgown.

"Feel free to enjoy it. If you want to use a sanitiser, here it is, or if you want to wash your hands you can use that sink over there," Bleu took out a small bottle, placed it on the table, and pointed at the pure gold sink that appeared out of nowhere.

Takata nodded with hazy eyes and opted for the sink.

Afterwards, she came back and sat on the empty seat.

"Can I eat this?" she asked.

"Us too right?" Nine asked.

"Feel free to enjoy," Bleu said.

"Itadakimasu," Takata placed her hands together. Then she dug in.

Bleu pulled out various sauces from nowhere for Takata as she wolfed down the fried chicken.

Dip. Crunch. Dip. Crunch.

Er.. okay. I'll just use a fork and eat the wedges and fries. I don't want to dirty my hands..

"Noel," Liliath who had a set of proper utensils, brought a piece of chicken she sliced up to my mouth.

"Thanks," I received it, and in response, fed her potato wedges.

I also did the same for Rin who looked like she was enduring not eating.

"It's delicious.."

"Well, you should really eat it. It's not like we're going to get fat here."

"Really?" Takata with a mouth stuffed with food asked.

"Yes really. This is a dream domain or whatever.."

"Eh.." She blinked and looked at us a second time. "I-It's you!"

"Sup," Nine tore a piece of chicken meat with her teeth and said.

"Just so you're clear. I'm the Goddess of Comfort. Not the blockhead there," Bleu said.

"The chicken is amazing," said Nine in retort..

Takata paused a few seconds, then nodded, returning to gorge on the feast.

"Looks like he's still not going to wake up huh.. thanks."

"It's my p-pleasure.." Rin said bashfully.

Well. Great. I feel like such an asshole receiving food from two beauties. Man.. this should be Liliath's harem but, the influence is rubbing onto me. Shouldn't I be jealous that Rin is stealing attention from Liliath? But it's not like she's really stopping me from spending time with Liliath..

"Hehe.." Bleu laughed.

"Damn it."

"You reap what you sow," she said, making a gesture as if hoeing the ground.

"What did I ever do?"

"Ask yourself that question," she stuck her tongue out.

UGH.. whatever.

"Hey.. what is this?!" Aoki looked around, flabbergasted.

"Hm.. oh, good morning," Laura stretched her hands.

"L-Laura-sama.. where are we.. Sayu?!"

"Fried chicken! There's fried chicken here! It's been so long!" she waved a chicken drumstick in the air.

"O-Oi.. do you even know where this is?!"

"It's a lucid dream!"

Crunch.

Uh.. yeah. Cool. I guess she thinks that this is a 'normal' hyper-realistic dream huh?

Laura poked the Regressor's cheeks.. I think..

"Wake up already."

No reaction.

Taking a deep breath, Laura standled over him, grip his shoulders and shook him like a shrimp. Yeah.. quite the aggressive elf we got here.

"Stop! Stop! Do you even know where this is?!"

"I told you to prepare yourself."

"Get off!"

"Uwa?! Huh?"

"You aren't tricking me!"

"What the hell is going on.." Nine took a bite off the wedges as she watched the drama play out.

"I'm glad he doesn't have a weapon," Bleu sighed.

"Sensei! Calm down.. what is this?!" It's not like Aoki is calm either.

"I don't know.. it must be some succubus' dream.. be careful."

"Succubus' dream? Crunch," Takata looked perplexed instead, but the food got the better of her, "Is this a succubus' dream?" she asked.

"It's my domain," Bleu replied.

"Ah.. then it's alright if I eat more?'

"Feel free to. Do you want more cheese sauce?"

"Yes please!"

"Sayu! Don't be fooled!" Aoki yelled.

"You're the ones being fools!" Laura yelled back.

What the fuck is this situation..
