Kurumi glimpses and wakes up from the mattress, staring at the foreign and sparsely decorated environment before recalling last night's events as she notices the empty room. She snatches her smartphone off the floor and checks the time—7:50 am.
'I'm going to be late!' She quickly stands up, not minding the bedsheet falling off her naked body as she calls loudly, "Mama! Why didn't you wake me up?!" She grumbles at the lack of a response as she tiptoes to the uniform she brought, calling again, "Nik, are you here?" A few rolls of deo in the right places is all Kurumi needs for the moment despite last night's activities since most of it was limited to the small bathroom.
Annoyed by a lack of response, Kurumi grunts in annoyance as she combs her hair near the bin before quickly tying it into twintails and walking out, finding the apartment completely empty. A beautiful green potted flower on the wooden shoe rack briefly attracts her attention since she didn't purchase it with Nik, and it wasn't present last night.
She ignores it and walks out, meeting a dark-haired, tawny-eyed woman with blunt bangs covering her forehead, a slightly narrow face, and glossy black hair tied into little buns as the rest of her hair cascades down her neck. The narrow-eyed woman glances at Kurumi before tending to another pot of flowers adjacent to the door.
Kurumi stares at the woman for a little longer, feeling strange.
'Have I seen her before?' she muses as she nods at the woman. 'She must be Nik's 'family.' Is she the one engaged to him?' Kurumi might have tried speaking to the woman if she wasn't running late. Nik made it clear that others can't converse in the same language.
She feels someone tapping her shoulder from the side.
Kurumi looks to the right, meeting quite a cute brow-haired woman with a round face, refreshing smile, and an athletic body if one takes her exposed and slender midriff at face value.
"H-hello~!" The girl trills brokenly, but the language barrier cannot inhibit her cheeriness as Kurumi feels her day brighten. She bows slightly, smiling, "Hello."
The brown-haired girl's smile widens as she looks past Kurumi, addressing the stoic woman taking care of the flowers in her native language. The two converse as Kurumi is quick to note their names.
'Mai? Ty-Lee?' Where have I heard those names before?'
The two women look oddly familiar, but Kurumi cannot put her finger on it. She didn't plan to wait for Nik or others since her attendance record is more important to her! She gestures to the two women her farewell before quickly stepping down the stairs, finding Kyouko conversing with two mature women. Before she can greet Kyouko, who proclaims slightly dark eye bags this early morning, Kurumi stills as she sees a group of giggling women crouched over a shopping bag.
'The six of them have the same face,' Kurumi stares at the girls as the gears in her mind work without needing breakfast to get over her morning blues.
'Mai, Ty-Lee,' she blinks. 'It can't be THEM, right?' Kurumi gulps as Kyouko takes notice of the former, greeting with a strained smile, "Good Morning, Kurumi-chan. Mitsuko and your sisters left a little while ago. They said Nik has to introduce his family to Officer Asagi for compliance's sake and asked me to let you know that you can rest for the day and skip school if you'd like."
"Huh?" Kurumi blinks, not caring for the fact that it's probably Souko and Sayoko who pestered Mitsuko to let her sleep to get back at her for their petty reasons. After all, the duo was out of commission yesterday, while Kurumi was fine and dandy.
One of the strangers is a fair-skinned woman with jade-green eyes and an exposed jade choker on her neck, while the other stranger has more narrow and refined features and a prominent glow in her golden irides.
"Kurumi-chan, these two are Ursa-san and Poppy-san. They will be living with Nik. Their daughters and a few more members are still with Nik," Kyouko introduces as she feels her throat drying. The Pinkette doesn't need a degree to understand the relationship Nik has with a bunch of beautiful women.
The six identical sisters take note of Kurumi, too, cartwheeling or walking on handstands in her direction before looking at her with their round brown-grey eyes, staring at her face unblinkingly before presenting cheerful smiles.
"Oh, my god," Kurumi takes a step back, her eyes widening as she cannot believe her eyes.
'Nik's family and fiancees look too similar to the cast of Avatar: The Last Cum Bender!'
Fuck her perfect attendance record—she wants to know what is up with Nik! All he said about taking things slow flies out of Kurumi's mind! 'After all!' She blinks owlishly. 'It's not even fear anymore! I don't care if things turn to shit tomorrow. I just want to know—how did Nik find such an accurate cast? Are they really performers? Or…?'
She could be wrong. But her life may take the wildest turn if she isn't.
—
Nik was quick to start the process of filing his family into the system using the same basement warrior Genta introduced him to. As Ray explained, all the girls, even the non-benders, felt slightly weak and pressured, as if something heavy weighed on their shoulders. Needless to say, Toph and Azula were the first to give up on this world—In their words: They didn't need this world if its innovations could enter into Nik's personal space. Sokka, Rena, Yue, and others were willing to try this new world, but they leaned in favor of building a society inside the personal world before looking elsewhere.
And the likes of Jin were detained in Nik's personal world by Suki until the former completes her daily training—you can never be too strict on the 'village simpleton' who can roast a Fire Princess black.
The Ty-Sisters, being the most carefree, wanted to learn more about the new world without wanting to spend their time learning the native language of their immediate surroundings. So, Kurumi surprises Nik when he arrives a short while later with Katara, Suki, Kya, and Zuko in tow. The group attracted a lot of attention due to their clothes. But it wasn't anything as close as the sight of a Kurumi surrounded by seven identical women clambering her for her smartphone, giggling to themselves about the lass' aura flaring red with annoyance before annoying her further.
"You didn't go to school today?" Nik inquires as he introduces Kurumi to the group following him. "She is Mitsuko's youngest daughter, Kurumi Souma."
"Oh," Suki smiles, "Pass on my gratitude for helping you yesterday."
"Hmm," Katara narrows her eyes, staring at Kurumi with lips thin.
"Can I go back?" Zuko demands. "I have a dragon egg tend and a farm to set."
Kya nods at the girls, prying them off Kurumi, "You girls promised to behave, did you not?"
"We were well-behaved," Ty-Lin(1) smirks as Ty-Lee(7) continues staring at the smartphone in Kurumi's hands, "Those images we captured were so beautiful!" She toots her horn shamelessly, "Nik, I want to buy one!"
"Me, too, bitch!" Ty-Woo(6) snaps as others start pouring their requests.
Nik smiles at Kurumi while gesturing to others to get inside. "So?" Nik questions as he watches Katara and the rest enter the apartments. Of the five flats, he wanted one to belong to Kya's, Ursa's, Poppy's, and Michi's families. He can always host the remaining few in his personal apartment right above Kyouko's room.
"Were those your fiancees?" Kurumi mutters as she watches the group with a complex look. A cocktail of envy and curiosity swims in her gaze as she awaits Nik's response, only for him to shake his head.
"Not all. Just the ones with chokers around their necks."
"Is that some kind of weird kink?" Kurumi scoffs as Nik shakes his head, oblivious to the hidden glint in the former's gaze.
"Not a kink. It's one of the more prominent cultures—"
"I knew it!" Kurumi snaps her fingers as if solving a great mystery! "Those girls really are from the 'Avatar: The Last Cumbender!' I would never believe it if I didn't see them with my eyes, but they are the same woman, right?"
"I beg your pardon," Nik gapes. "The last cum- what?!"
"Don't play dumb!" Kurumi intensely stares at Nik. "You know, THE Avatar! It's one of the more stupid but fun hentai after Tai'Mama'nin and Shiroinu! A special child is born with the ability to solve their issues with sex!" The more she speaks, the more excited Kurumi gets as she ignores the stares of others from the balcony of the small apartment building. "Isn't Aang supposed to bang Princess Zuko and bring the world to peace? He also has strange but powerful predecessors like Avatar Kyokshi, who, like other female avatars, is born with a male's sexual organ, a hung one at that!"
Nik stares at Kurumi with horror as the latter feels her suspicions confirmed by his expression.
'Holy fuck! Am I glad I didn't enter the Cumbender's verse! The fuck!' Nik registers everything Kurumi said. 'Zuko can also be a chick? What about Sokka? That world sounds worse than the action movie we saw starring 'Ong.''
He works his jaw before questioning, "Do you know the three women that came with me?"
"I know Katara and Suki," Kurumi crosses her arms. "The former becomes the chieftain of the Southern Tribe and serves her warriors daily to motivate them, while the latter travels to different lands to curb violent men by bringing them to their knees and having sex with them. The third woman looks very similar to Katara but not too old. She may be Katara's elder sister."
Nik almost slaps Kurumi into the following weekend before curbing his emotions.
'WHAT THE FUCK?'
"Hold on," he raises his hand. "Give me some time to understand this. You're saying everyone's a slut in this fiction?"
"Duh?" Kurumi blinks. "It's a hentai."
'Did Ray also add Cumbender verse into that 'pendrive' alongside other hentai and fictional variations of the Aang's world?' Nik's determination to never study that information drive becomes firmer as he sighs deeply. "They aren't the same, alright?"
"But I'm not wrong?" Kurumi questions as Nik shakes his head. "You're slightly wrong. I didn't know you were knee-deep into such fiction."
"K-knee-deep?" Kurumi blushes. "You're wrong! It's just too popular. I happened to see a pop-up advertisement when I was reading manga online and-" she thins her lips. "What I'm saying is I'm not a pervert! How did you even find them? Is the Hentai based on a true story? Are they exorcists like you? Can they bend elements?"
The corner of Nik's eyes twitches as he reminds himself, 'Everything is fine except revealing Reincarnation Paradise's existence. It makes me wonder why R.P. is so stubborn about this rule but not Infinity and T.P.'
"And I made such a good story to cover things up last night," he groans out loud. He retrieves his Samsong to check the time.
"Well, I have some time before my work. I can make things brief," Nik smiles, regaining his bearings but no longer capable of retaining the innocence he didn't know he possessed before knowing the summary of the Cumbender-verse.

The three tabs of the Chat System provided under Infinity are—General, Friends, and Partners.
Different tabs have their benefits and disadvantages, and the chatting function only unlocks at Rank 1 Intern because the Interns will come across other interns during their subsequent travels. Contacting other interns become significantly more effortless using the Chat Function.
The General Tab will always use the one AP of the host's corresponding rank to send one text with any number of words.
The Partners Tab allows official partners under Reincarnation Paradise to chat only in the same world without any cost.
The Friend Tab allows allies to stay connected with others despite the distance! Partner Tab does not have such a function because Paradise can sometimes assign new partners without the former group's consent. But befriending each other using the chat function is technically voluntary.
The Friend Tab is the costliest despite the tab reducing the cost based on one's rank.
And one feels something of a 'notification' ring inside their head when they receive a message.
Nik blinks as he feels something off before realizing the source of the sensation. He mentally opens the chat function, noticing a red dot on the friend's tab before opening the only 'friend' he made in Paradise.
[Smexy-succu-succu: Heeeeeyyyyaaaaaaaa~!!! Sending this message to check how much it costs since I think I'm richer *wink**wink.* I hope you didn't mind my recommendation of watching the Avatar Live Action♥️! Nehehehe~! It's all in good spirits, right? I just couldn't help myself. Anyway, I thought I would send you a message before sleeping. It's about 6 am here. You don't know how much I wanted to share about my trolling with someone like me! Anyway, I found this pervert stalking me. It was fun leading him on for a while, but the fucker pulled a gun on me! He wasn't stalking me cause I was cute but cause I looked defenseless! The galls! Long story short, I showed him the nightmare where he was castrated, and his 'loyal' wife fucked his jailer in front of his jail buddies.
I can't wait to see what kind of fucked-up world Paradise will send us to next time now that we have an anomaly like you. Oh, and be sure to prepare for everything. I said to watch as many anime as you can, but I got that covered. I 'train' over the night, lol~! You should take the time and focus on yourself. Maybe find a gun rack and train your aim or knowledge about modern guns. It's useful at our ranks.
Ps: It costs 4 AP to send a message. I guess we're lucky our verses aren't too far. And wanna share some sexy pictures of you with the girls? I'm tired of the hentai of the Avatar verse and am dying to watch some real-life action~!]
"Ah~! Look at him," Yuuko's ears twitch as she looks at her 'friend' in annoyance. Why wouldn't she be annoyed? You don't butt in one's lunchtime!
'At least she brought cake,' Yuuko eats the strawberry fluff delight as she accompanies Kaya staring idly at the scowling Nik, who stops going through the language section for the moment.
"So, you said something about Nik staying at Kyouko's apartment?" Kaya mutters, brushing her bangs behind her ear as she adjusts her round glasses. "I heard that others don't last as her tenant."
"Maybe, but don't you have your bakery to tend?" Yuuko mutters as Kaya smirks, "It's my lunchtime. My customers would understand."
Yuuko scoffs softly as Kaya praises, "That's a good uniform. I never expected a fake police uniform to look so good."
Nik recovers from his daze at this point, ignoring Yuuko's bespectacled friend, who doesn't need to care for the bakery since she carries the majority of it with herself, before looking through different translation books, trying to find the closest match to his group's native tongue.
'No shot,' Nik sighs. 'I'll have to use one of the translation books as a guide and create a new journal for the rest. It shouldn't take too long, I hope.' He shakes his head dejectedly. 'Who am I kidding? The journal will take a lot of time to write all of it, which will cut into my training time.'
There is a reason why Nik doesn't want to waste his time-consuming other forms of media—time is forever limited. He has to juggle his priorities to maintain the social life he is becoming fond of whilst paying enough attention to the rest that matters to him. It's not a chore by any means since he wants to do it, but things like finding a gun and learning to aim with it seem unlikely for him to practice when he can bend metal and achieve the same effects with better precision.
"Is something wrong?" Kaya smiles from behind the counter, sitting beside Yuuko, "Would you like some more cake?"
Kaya's words get the food whore's attention as he perks up, pushing away the task of managing his timetable to find bits and spaces in between and write the journal. "Could I?" He smiles happily.
"Of course," Kaya chuckles, retrieving another pastry from the box as she steps out from the counter to serve it to Nik. "So," she looks at Nik, taking her chance when she sees one. "Yuuko tells me you're renting a room in Kyouko's building."
"Yep," Nik smiles. "But not a room. I rented the entire space except for Kyouko-san's apartment."
"Excuse me?" Kaya blinks as Yuuko frowns. "Really?"
"Uh-huh," Nik nods idly, savoring each bite of the creamy mango-flavored cake as he wishes he could retrieve Crusted mango and crush them on top of the cake!
"So, you have four idle rooms?" Yuuko frowns.
"No," Nik shakes his head. "My family arrived. They will take time to settle in, but I will bring them around to meet everyone else."
Kaya and Yuuko glance at each other as the latter speaks a moment earlier than Kaya.
"Nik, don't feel shy from asking for help if you need any. It's the least I can do for the traffic you bring into the store these days."
Kaya huffs as she returns to her seat while Nik shakes his head with a smile, "That's no issue. Mitsuko said she could help me with dinner. She and her daughters helped me settle in most of the utensils last night, and Kurumi said she would call an electrician to install the remainder since she is staying back with them."
"She stayed the night?" Kaya drops all pretenses as she questions pointedly with a knowing and sour look.
"Kaya!" Yuuko gasps, blushing from ear to ear!
"Oh, she did," Nik shrugs before thinking of something as he ingests another spoonful of Kaya's cream. "But I always appreciate extra hands." He coughs. "And others would love your cake. Of course, I'm not asking for them as a gift. I'll pay the intended amount—"
"That's not an issue," Kaya's smile deepens. "But you have to promise to eat my sweets with just as much enthusiasm after Mitsuko's dinner. Hmm. Maybe I should be there to see you keep the promise~!"
Yuuko blinks.
'Did she just invite herself to dinner at Nik's when I was the one who said it was okay to ask for MY help?'
"Sure," Nik snickers. He then takes note of Yuuko's expression as he questions. "Would you like to join in, Yuuko-san? I would worry about overworking Mitsuko if I already didn't eat so much food."
The memory of yesterday's lunch resurfaces in Yuuko's mind, but unlike Kaya, who is ready to stick it to Mitsuko for some reason, the former reveals a slightly hesitant look.
"I'm sorry. Maybe next time." She shakes her head, choosing the sensible option. "I don't want to be a burden—and you must have your hands full. But I will be happy to accept the invitation once you and your family fully settle in."
Nik's smile turns a notch sincere as he nods. "I will invite you and Megumi for a tour the instant I feel we settle."
"Good. And ask for all the help you need," Yuuko smiles. "But any time spent playing hooky with work comes at the cost of—" she stops before saying the word salary and hits where it hurts. "—my treats for all the fast-food chains I know!"
Nik's expression freezes as he stares at the dangerous woman.
"But my timing of work is still shortened from 9–5, right?" Nik questions as Yuuko confirms it with a nod. She couldn't keep Nik working for 12 hours without paying in kind, so she forthrightly reduced the time and explained the cause to Nik.
Like Kyouko, the woman is simply too good to exist in—
'What a Strange 'Hentai' World.' Nik sighs as he eats Kaya's cake while recalling Kurumi's vivid explanation.
'Avatar Kyoshi hung as a horse? Now that's either a nightmare fuel or every Kyoshi warrior's wettest dream.'
