Chapter 14: Harem Protaginist Moment
Belle begrudgingly drove both her and Alice to the location that Taiyo sent them. When they arrived, it was just Taiyo. Neither Pinoy nor Yoshi was there. Taiyo looked over to the two as they walked up to her.
"Good, you two arrived early."
"Why did you call us?" asked Alice.
"There is an echo class anomaly in this building and you're the best person to deal with it, Alice."
"Why me?"
"Because it has to do with anime."
"Huh?"
"Alright you two, this anomaly is a man known as Hani Sekiro. He was a college student obsessed with anime. Like you, Alice."
"Is that why I'm on this mission?"
"Yes. We often like to match keepers with anomalies we think they can relate to or have similar interests with. Often the anomaly will manifest those interests, so the keeper can better dispatch them. Anywho, good luck you two."
Taiyo vanished before their eyes. They didn't even see her move. She practically teleported for all they knew.
Alice looked over to Belle. She scoffed at Alice and turned her head. Alice was tired of her attitude, so she walked in alone. Once she entered the school, she saw something that... surprised her to say the least. The school was filled with tons of girls. Actually, only girls. They all wore very revealing outfits. Some had on maid outfits, some had nurse outfits, some had swimsuits, and some wore nothing at all.
"Oh... so this is how it's gonna be. Something tells me I know how this anomaly is gonna be."
Alice walked into the school deeper. The girls all had different kinds of fetish clothing. She even spotted some monster girls. Centaurs, lamia, harpies, mermaids, and more. Her nose picked up the biggest stench inside of one of the classrooms. She was about to open the door, but then Belle grabbed her hand as it was reaching out.
"Hey, don't just leave me out there!" Belle yelled at her.
"Belle... can you please at least pretend to get along with me?"
"..."
"I understand why you hate me. I would hate me too... but we have a job to do. So don't get in my way."
"Tsk, fine. Let's get this over with. The shorter time I have to be with you, the better."
The two opened the classroom. In the room were a bunch of girls with large busts, small waists, and large hips. In the entire classroom, there was one guy. He was the anomaly. He had a bland face, black hair, black eyes, average height, and a basic school outfit.
Alice facepalmed.
"Uh, care to fill me in?" Belle asked.
"Ok... how do I explain this... god, I hate that woman (Taiyo) so much. Ok, so this is a genre of anime called harem, ecchi, fantasy. The name should be self-explanatory. It usually involves a bland, uninteresting male character who gets all the girls to simp over. Usually super hot girls. Sometimes they're rich, insecure, powerful, the list goes on and on. Key examples are Date A Live, To LOVE Ru, Rosario + Vampire, How Not To Summon a Demon Lord, Love Tyrant, etc."
"That doesn't tell me anything..."
"Ok, let me dumb it down for you. Kill that guy."
"Ok, better said."
"But he'll probably have a harem that will attack you to protect him."
"What?"
Suddenly, purple tendrils came down from the ceiling and spiked at Alice and Belle. Belle dived out of the way while Alice's front flipped. She used her death burst, which killed all of the girls around the main character anomaly.
"You know, I've always hated your genre. Lazy writing, boring male lead, women who exist for little more to be gawked at... though I do enjoy myself a good run of Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs and Hensuki. Ok, but I'm getting off topic. What's your gimmick? Do you have incubus powers? Maybe you get stronger when you touch a girl's breasts? Maybe you have bad character writi-"
The teenage boy extended his hand and a dark pool of matter came out of it. The summoning circles appeared from that circle around the classroom. Out from those circles came five monster girls.
The first girl's body was green and her breasts and crotch were covered by leaves. She had long blonde hair and purple eyes. She had flowers decorating her hair and vines coming out of her back.
The second girl had lovely skin and she had a purple snake tail as her lower half. She had long brunette hair and red eyes. She had a black and blue frilly dress with pink ribbons.
The third slime-shaped woman's body was blue and gooey. Her body was solid but soft and liquidy. It was indescribable. Her hair was also made of blue slime that covered one of her eyes. She wore a two-piece white swimsuit.
The fourth girl had short brown hair and brown eyes. Both her hands and feet were covered with fur. She had floppy ears and a fluffy tail. She also wore a tribal two-piece outfit.
The fifth girl had light brown skin, short dark blue hair in a ponytail, and cyan eyes. Her feet were like bird talons and her arms were replaced with blue, feathery wings. She wore a very revealing gold and blue dress.
"I see, so you are that kind of protagonist. I watched this one Beast Tamer anime once. It had very lazy character writing. Though, I see why. I'd be lying if I said the idea of being owned by Yoshi wasn't... you know what. I'll stop myself right there."
The main character anomaly grabs the slime girl and begins to kiss her passionately and grope her body. Suddenly, Alice felt her aura spike up.
"Really. That's your gimmick?" exasperated Alice. "Aight then."
The slime cast out many spiked tentacles at Alice.
Alice slid under them and escaped the classroom as the harpy tried to slash her with her talons. She grabbed Belle and they began to run from the six of them. Every time the boys kissed them or touched their bodies, the girls would gain an attack buff and rain down deadly attacks on them.
"This whole place feels incredibly retarded." Belle commented.
"I'm sorry, have you ever look in a mirror? Now, shut up. I gotta think... how do we win this?..."
