"Thank God I'm done..."
It was already night when I got out of the dungeon, Today I spent all my time researching everything inside.
The main monster of the dungeon was called Monkey Oak, its status was as follows.
////
NAME: Monkey Oak
TYPE: Common
DEGREE: ☆☆☆☆☆
Battle Power: 600 ‹-› 699
Skills: Super Jump • NV:6, Agile Moves • NV:5, Earth Incorporation • NV:5
////
His only skill was based on attacking Stones... But they weren't simple Stones, they were all imbued with the element of earth.
They would cause enormous damage to anyone who was hit.
I could feel its power, feathers from one of them passing by my face.
Even if one of these Stones weren't capable of seriously injuring me, they would at the very least stun me... Adding to the fact that the monkeys in groups of 30 of them.
It wouldn't be a good idea to get hit by one of these Stones.
So I kept fighting them until I got all their information.
That kind of information wouldn't be useful to me, it was valuable to my women.
They would be the ones who needed them most.
I could pair levels like that, but why do that if I can use my clones.
So before leaving the dungeon I left 5 clones of mine behind.
Its only functions were to level up skills, farm points and money.
Returning home I run into my wives and family, talking to whom I wouldn't think to see anytime soon again.
Mother:"Oh~ You arrived son, we have some visitors..."
Room had a couple approaching their 30s, beside them a beautiful girl with brown hair.
I think I met him immediately.
"Oh~ Clara how long..."
Girl herself turned and looked at me.
Clara:"How are you doing Diego."
Clara was the icing on the cake, so that I didn't want to bond with real women.
She wasn't a bad person, far from it.
She was at some point in my life, the girl I wanted as my wife.
But...
Like any girl her age, she had very high standards.
In other words, she wanted a handsome boyfriend, rich and last awake.
At the time I was none of these three.
She was never a petty person, ours we always got along well. She also always made clear her type of love profile.
And since I was such a poor bastard, I ended up losing every chance I had with her... along with my feelings.
From that point on I started to like anime characters more than real women.
So I plunged into a path, which would be no turning back.
And today I'm here, with more than one girlfriend.
Looking at her I replied.
"I'm fine."
Clara:"I know how well you are..."
Seeing those words she looked at the girls sitting around.
'*COUGH~ *...'
I barely caught myself and coughed in front of everyone, but kept it up for the following.
"Aunt Antonia, happy to sail again..."
I automatically changed the subject by talking to Clara's mom.
Clara:"*Xiii~ *"
Clara's mother looked at me and smiled.
Antonia:"Oh~ little Diego, it's been a while since I've seen you you look taller and... Handsome?"
Antonia:"Even though your mother told us the text had changed appearance, I wouldn't imagine it would be so much."
"Well my luck is very good..."
Clara:"Tchi~ you were always complaining about how unlucky you were at school..."
Everyone:"Hahaha..."
"*Xiii~ * you are a terrible partner in crime..."
Seeing the relaxed atmosphere, I was happy inside.
"Ok~ I'm all sweaty so I'm going to take a shower..."
Going up to my room I enter but when I go to close the door something stops it in the middle of the way.
Clara:"Can we talk?"
I looked at how clear it was, standing outside the door.
"In my room?"
Clara:"If possible..."
I stare at her for a few seconds, then open the door.
"In between."
Upon entering we sat in some computer chair.
"So what do you have to talk about?"
I found all this strange... Clara had never acted or spoken to me like this before.
Clara:"Do you want to date me?"
"...."
My mind went into shock.
I didn't expect this...
Don't get the wrong things, Clara was never a bad person. Even though I was out of her attack zone, she was never mean to me.
We always hang out together... She was my best friend actually.
It was even her who introduced me to the world of anime.
There was one more thing that always confused me, she always left her loving profile open to everyone. But, she had never been dating before.
That is, she was a virgin at all.
That's right with rich, handsome and even Awake guys behind her.
This has always confused me.
'Let's just take a look...'
Still silently I looked at her.
////
STATUS
Name: Clara Mendes da Silva
System: None (Not Awake)
Age: 16
Affection: 100/100 (Old Love)
Description: Clara Mendes, a nice and friendly girl. She enjoys playing sports, watching anime and reading manga. She has loved Diego Catio since they were 6 years old, she sometimes teases him saying that she likes beautiful, rich and Awake boys.
'Holy crap'
What I saw subverted my entire outlook on life.
'So it was like this...'
I came to understand her actions, always with me since daycare... Always supporting me.
I don't deny that my look at Clara changed the moment I saw her Status.
But now I had several women...
*Sigh~ *
"Clara... You know what those women down there are mine for, don't you?"
She looked into my eyes.
Clara:"Yes..."
"Then- "
Clara:"Wait! Let me speak..."
Clara:"I've always liked you since I was a little girl."
Clara:"I always teased you about my types of guys, but it was because I wanted you... Just for you to look a little better and have more money..."
Clara:"You know... Awakened systems follow the wishes of users..."
Clara:"I knew you liked me... So I thought telling you what kind of 'man' I wanted made you want to have these things. Like beauty and money... So I killed birds with just a stone."
Clara:"You would become confident in chasing yourself, and have what you always dreamed of being awake to help your family..."
Clara:"But what I didn't expect was that you would walk away from me and become a complete otaku..."
I was totally shocked...
'What the fuck is going on? My mind couldn't get the speed it needed to process Clara's words.
Clara:"Seeing you walking away from me, I noticed something wrong. But the damage was already done."
Clara:"So to answer your question, yes! I know what those girls down there are for you. And as much as it pains me to know that, it hurts more to be without you..."
Clara:"Clara then I'll repeat this again... Would you like to date me?"
Trying to digest everything Clara said, I noticed a bunch of little heads huddled in the half-open door.
They all smiled at me.
'You really are...'
At that moment I woke up, I understood that all my feelings with Clara were not over... but rather sealed in some corner of my chest.
'I think I know what to do.'
Taking a choice I move and pull her into my arms.
Clara:"Eh?"
I think she didn't expect this.
"I accept!"
Whispering in her ear, I steal her lips.
