Harem Trials

"Do you have a boyfriend, Emily?"

For Emily, it seemed like the question had come out of nowhere.

It caught her off guard, visible from the reddening of her cheeks.

Before she could reply, Elian spoke again.

"It's just that I've noticed that you're alone a lot of the time. If you didn't have a boyfriend then maybe we could hang out together. I was thinking maybe lunch on the roof today?"

He spoke with confidence, but in truth, he was nervous himself.

However, he knew that he needed to do this if he wanted to increase his harem.

Plus, he found Emily incredibly attractive.

"U-um well.. no I don't have a boyfriend. I wouldn't mind having lunch."

Elian flashed her a smile.

Though he knew it was not enough to completely initiate her into his harem.

He needed something more.

Hmm...

He thought hard.

...

...

That's it!

An idea popped into his head, and to him, it seemed like the best idea ever.

Drawing in a deep breath, he began to prepare himself.

He walked towards her with an outstretched hand.

"Also, if you don't mind we could-" as he said the words and got close, he knocked the water from her hand, spilling its contents all over her shirt.

It was already wet from her sweat, but now it was completely drenched. She was practically naked, her undergarments on display as it became transparent.

She let out a squeal and quickly covered her chest with her arms, looking away from Elian with blushed cheeks.

As she did, his lips twisted into a grin.

All part of my plan. Next, I just need to offer her my shirt.

He started lifting his shirt off.

"Shit, I'm such an idiot. Here, have my shi-"

Emily pushed passed him in embarrassment and exited the gymnasium, leaving Elian alone with his shirt halfway over his head.

...

Shit. Maybe I am an idiot.

After the embarrassing events that took place in the gymnasium with Emily, it was lunchtime.

Elian headed to the rooftop, where Alice and he had agreed to eat. He saw her sitting, watching the sky as she bit into a sandwich.

As she heard his footsteps, she turned and smiled at him.

"Hey, how's the 'recruiting' going."

It felt weird for him to hear such words come out loud.

"Umm. Not the best." He replied, making his way towards her and taking a seat on the roof. "I had a potential member but blew it by doing something stupid. You know Emily, from our class?"

Alice nodded, before looking at something behind him with a strange look.

"Yeah, I do. Isn't that her now?"

He turned around and saw Emily with her blue hair, now changed into her red Rosebury jumper and school skirt.

She had a lunch in her hands.

Wait, she came... So she doesn't hate me?

I've still got a chance!

"Emily!" Alice called cheerfully, as she patted to the ground between them, "Come and sit."

Emily shyly made her over to them and sat, and afterwards, they all began to engage in small talk, breaking the nerves.

It all felt strange to Elian. He had never been used to having friends in the first place.

Now, to be sitting next to two beautiful girls and engaging in conversation.

Perhaps these harem trials aren't too bad if it's got me into situations like this.

Suddenly, as Emily was about to start eating her rice, a strong wind blew.

Elian and Alice were able to clutch onto their containers to stop the contents from spilling, but Emily's fell from her hand, the rice falling onto the ground.

Instantly a sad look took over her face.

"Oh no, that was all I had to eat."

Elian watched her, and as he did, a new plan entered into his head.

But he was hesitant, after the events of the gymnasium.

No, I don't see how this one can go wrong.

"Here," he said, handing her his container of rice. "Have mine."

Emily looked at him and at the rice. He could tell she was hungry.

"You really don't have to." She said, hesitantly.

"I know, but I insist."

After a few moments, Emily took the container and started eating a mouthful of rice.

"You're so kind, Elian. Thank you."

Alice chimed in now, a smirk growing on her face.

"He is, isn't he? He's a man you can trust. I know I can."

Elian looked at her with surprise.

Is she trying to help me with the initiation?

"Hey, let's play a game of truth or dare." She suggested afterwards, shooting a wink at Elian.

Emily hesitated at first, but afterwards, she agreed.

I have a feeling I know where this is going.

---

The first few rounds were simple. Everyone had answered "truth" and only had to reveal a truth about themselves.

However, after a few rounds, Emily ended up being the first to ask for a dare.

As she did, Alice's eyes lit up with mischief. She had gotten what she wanted.

And Elian grew nervous.

What is she about to make her do?

"Emily, as you haven't had your first kiss yet. I dare you to kiss Elian for five seconds."

Instantly, Emily's face grew shy, and even Elian couldn't help but blush.

I haven't even had my first kiss either!

There was a few moments of hesitation and silence from all participants.

Alice scooted closer to her and nudged her playfully on the shoulder.

"Rules are rules." She said with a wink before Emily finally agreed.

"Fine. As long as Elian's okay with it."

Elian sat there with a stupid look on his face. "U-um, yeah im-"

"Of course, he's fine with it." Alice interrupted. "This is a guy's biggest dream, kissing you. You have to have more confidence in yourself, Emily."

Elian couldn't help but admit she was right. He was nervous, but he wanted to kiss her.

"O-okay. Here it goes."

Wait, what? Not so fast.

Bzztt.

His phone buzzed but he had no ignore it.

Emily closed her eyes and began to lean forward towards Elian.

It felt to him like everything was moving in slow motion.

Is this how I'm going to have my first kiss... Actually, this is pretty good.

He spotted Alice in the corner of his eyes, watching with excitement like it was some TV show.

Here goes nothing.

He pressed his lips against Emily's.

They were soft, the softest thing he had felt in his life.

Something about the somewhat innocent act had awoken an urge in him.

A lustful desire.

He reached his hand up and squeezed Emily's plump breast.

Her back began to arch, pressing her body further towards him, and letting out a soft moan.

Mhmm ~ ♡

As he did, the air around them began to change.

An ethereal energy began to flow through Elian's body and branch out towards Emily.

A connection was made through their kiss and his touch.

Emily pulled away from the kiss, her face riddled with ecstasy, as though she had just been pleasured immensely.

Her lips were pursed, and she was out of breath.

After a few moments, she recollected herself.

"W-what was that. ♡"

Alice flashed her a knowing smile. She had felt that exact same feeling before.

"Incredible, right?" She said.

Elian wanted to saviour the moment, but he was interrupted by another notification on his phone.

Bzztt

Bzztt

Two notifications. That was three in total.

He pulled out his phone to check.

[Harem Member: Emily Westfield has joined. Passive buffs strengthened. New ability unlocked.]

Nice.

He swiped the notification away to read the next one.

[Earn one more Harem Member, and you will unlock special features.]

So Adam was telling the truth about the special features.

He swiped it away and read the last notification.

[Danger! 2 Alpha's are nearby. Prepare for battle.]

And at that moment, he cursed his luck.

His joy was over.
