Blanche's thoughts

(Blanche POV)

One more day and it would be her turn. Today Abigail would take care of Leo and then it would be her turn. She would finish this week and earn her stripes. She decided to start the day by looking at the VP scores, and what she discovered astonished her.

"15 VPS. But how did she manage to get so many? She's 8 VP ahead of the runner-up." Blanche said.

"What's going on?" asked Daphne, who was just emerging from Morpheus' arms.

"Look at this," said Blanche, showing her the scores.

"Wow! Impressive, I had a feeling she'd be motivated but not necessarily to this extent." Said Daphne.

"Do you think his transformation played a role in this outcome?" questioned Blanche.

"I don't know. She's curious about Leo but she's not in love. Then I'm surprised that Leo allowed Jessica to win so many points." Says Daphne.

"Maybe he didn't have a choice?" Says Blanche.

Leo didn't really seem to know how to say no to a girl who would jump out at him. It was good to know that imposing with him could work. Who was the idiot who'd given her the 'Submission' theme? She was meant to lead, not submit.

They decided to get dressed. Blanche's pants all had a hole for her cat's tail. This always made her smile. It really was absurd, yet after a few days it was already normal for her. She stopped paying attention. These ears even had the advantage of being more precise, allowing her to distinguish sounds she wouldn't have paid attention to before.

Afterwards, she was aware that for the moment she'd only had one transformation, a far cry from Daphne's or Hanna's 3. The next ones would undoubtedly be less easy to accept. Unless she received a transformation that made her love transformations. Anyway, this wasn't really the time to think about that.

Blanche and Daphne left their room and headed for breakfast. They took the opportunity to admire the beauty of the island they were on. Every plant, every rock, every insect gave the impression of having been deliberately placed there to create a harmonious landscape. It wasn't quite to Blanche's taste, who preferred a little more Chaos, but she couldn't deny the beauty of the place.

As usual, they arrived first. Abigail and Hanna were always late, and that wasn't about to change. As for Eric, Blanche didn't even dare try to imagine what he was doing. The boy was odd. Any normal man would either have been thrilled to be on an island full of young women or frightened to be a member of his brother's harem.

Eric was just apathetic. Blanche really couldn't understand how he thought. He wasn't very popular with the audience and Blanche hoped it would stay that way. The two most unpopular people were at the top of the VP rankings. The only ranking that remained unknown for the moment was Leo's ranking. And on that score, Blanche was not at all confident. Leo had no real connection with her. She had to fix that.

"What do you think, Daphne, does Leo like cat-girls?" asked Blanche.

The question was too surprising for Daphne, who spat out the orange juice she was drinking.

"What?" Daphne asked, thinking she'd misheard.

"Do you think Leo won't be put off by my tail and cat ears? It's not really normal." Blanche said.

Daphne looked at her as if she were completely stupid before replying.

"You don't have to worry Leo isn't the type who doesn't like cat-girls. And even if there was a remote chance that he wasn't a cat-girl fan, Leo isn't the type to dwell on looks. Leo's much more interested in the personalities of the people he comes into contact with." Daphne replied.

These words reassured Blanche a little. After all, she wouldn't have understood Nola giving her a handicap to seduce Leo.

"I do have one question, though. Why do you want Leo to be interested in you? Do you really want to be part of this harem?" questioned Daphne.

Blanche sighed in her head. Daphne still hadn't understood. They didn't have a choice. Not everyone had the luxury of having already won Leo's heart before the show even started. If Leo wasn't in love with Daphne, she'd probably be eliminated quickly.

"I don't really know I don't have your courage to look for a way out of this show so until you come up with a solution, I'll just play along and try to seduce Leo." Blanche replied.

The discussion ended there, as Leo and Jessica arrived. Neither Blanche nor Daphne wanted Leo or Jessica involved in this discussion.

"Good morning, I see we're not the first. How did Blanche and Daphne sleep?" asked Leo.

"We slept well, Leo, and your evening went well, I assume," said Daphne, smiling despite her accusatory tone.

This annoyed Blanche. Why was Daphne so upset if she didn't want to be part of Leo's harem? Especially since, with this transformation, she'd have to like the idea of him sleeping with other women.

In any case, Daphne's remark had succeeded in making Leo blush, and he was quick to justify himself.

"It's not what you think, Daphne". Leo said.

"Then what do I believe, Leo? You're free to do whatever you want with whomever you want." Said Daphne, no longer even hiding the fact that she was annoyed.

"It's not my fault. I was negative and Leo just agreed to save me so I wouldn't be eliminated," said Jessica.

Oh, that was interesting. Had Jessica, a self-centered monster, fallen under Leo's charm?

The argument took on another dimension when Eric arrived and decided to congratulate Leo.

"Congratulations Leo! I'm delighted to see you've listened to my advice and had sex with Jessica. Keep up the good work." Said the angel

This was too much for Daphne, who decided not to continue this discussion and stormed off towards the beach.

"Did I say something wrong?" Eric asked. With Eric's angelic appearance, Blanche found it hard not to burst out laughing.

Leo seemed completely distraught. Worst of all was the appearance of Daphne's lamp on the table in front of Leo. If he wanted to explain himself, all he had to do was rub the lamp. Would he dare? mused Blanche.

He didn't have much time to think about it, as Abigail and Hanna arrived smiling. Well, Abigail was smiling, and Hanna was doing her best to be invisible.

"Hi Leo, I hope you're ready because I'm going to take you on a trip today. Nola, can you open the door for me at the agreed location?" Abigail asked.

Nola appeared right behind her and answered.

"Of course, I can. Here it is!" said the Leprechaun.

Blanche then watched Abigail drag Leo through the door. It was going to be an intense day for Leo.
