Chapter 13: Trust
Ben woke up to the feeling of soft fingers stroking his head. He opened his eyes and saw Alvida's face and beautiful eyes. She was smiling down at him, and her eyes were filled with warmth.
"Good morning my love," she said. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling good, last night was amazing," Ben said.
Alvida smiled again. "I'm glad you feel the same way. I love you.”
Ben got up from her breast and gently kissed her.
Ben remembered the crazy day he had. He then remembered fighting the animals on the island for a month, and he had been injured several times.
Ben smiled at Alvida. He knew that she had sacrificed everything to be with her, and he was grateful for that.
Alvida smiled back at Ben and said. "Let's go and have a shower.”
Ben nodded. He got out of bed and started to get into the shower. There was no funny business. He soaped himself and her and rinsed quickly. As he was getting dressed, he thought that he needed to tell Alvida everything. She deserves to know.
When Ben was dressed, he and Alvida went to the kitchen. They had breakfast, and then they sat down to talk.
"I have something to tell you," Ben said.
"What is it my love?" Alvida asked.
"I'm not who you think I am," Ben said. "I'm not from this world."
Alvida looked at Ben in surprise. "What do you mean?" she asked.
"I mean that I came from another world," Ben said. "I had died saving a child's life. Instead of going to the afterworld or what, I woke up in a white room with a beautiful woman called Athena. She told me about a system that will help me save the world."
Alvida was processing this information and stayed quiet.
“The system is broken, I think. It doesn't answer my questions. It's asking to make a harem smd save the world. It gives me rewards but there are conditions.” Ben continued to explain how he fought animals for a month to grow stronger before finally meeting her. Ben had left the part that One Piece was an anime in his world and left all the details of his previous life including his mother and sister. He didn't want to overload her with all this information but needed to get some important things off his chest.
“My devil fruit is the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Akuma no Inkubus. I can control the hybrid but I have no way to access the full beast. The system, when it works, gives powerful abilities.” Ben explained.
Alvida listened to Ben's story, and when he was finished, she was silent for a moment.
"I don't know what to say," she said finally. "This is a lot to take in."
"I know," Ben said. "But it's true."
"Why are you telling me this?" Alvida asked.
"Because I trust you," Ben said. "I need people I can trust, people who will never back stab me in the back and after last night and you leaving your crew members for me was all the proof I needed."
Alvida smiled. "You can trust me, my love," she said. "I will never betray you."
Ben smiled back at Alvida. He was glad that he had told her the truth. He knew that he could trust her.
"Thank you," he said. "I'm glad to hear that."
“About the harem?” Alvida said in a serious tone.
Ben thought he was in trouble and it was over.
Alvida said, “I am okay with this but there are conditions which we can add:,
- All harem members to be treated equally
- All new members will have to approved by everyone
- No males, this is a safe place for your harem and only yours.
- You must give us all two kids each
- Harem members may not always want to participate in different types of sex so you must respect that
- Harem members exist for your pleasure.”
Ben was shocked some of those were conflicting he thought but it could have been worse. The kids parts was something to deal with later. He was not against the idea however this world is too dangerous right now so something for later.
“Agreed,” Ben jumped from the table and hugged Alvida.
Alvida didn't think that her love was from another world or she was going to be part of a harem, but here we are. Love makes you do crazy stuff, she thought.
When they finished hugging, Ben and Alvida stood up.
"Thank you for telling me all this my love," Alvida said. "I'm honored to be a part of your journey and life."
"Thank you for believing me," Ben said. "I'm glad to have you on my side, my love."
