Hideout

“Hey, hey, I have something cool to show you!” Lala declared, shaking you awake from a restful slumber between the arms of two beautiful ladies. Your bleary eyes came into focus to see her smiling face hovering above the bed, she was back in her usual, strange outfit. Rias and Akeno had not gone to such length and were still totally nude. You extracted yourself from between them, grabbed some pants, and finally allowed Lala to show you what was so exciting.

Lala throws open the doors to what used to be your wardrobe and reveals a room, a huge room that is easily three times the size of your entire apartment on its own. There’s nothing in the room as of this moment, but you can easily imagine decorating it and using it for various purposes. The blank walls are only adorned with a pair of double doors, which you have to assume is where your real wardrobe went when Lala decided to make this pocket dimension.

“Isn’t it cool? We can use it as an awesome secret base! Oh, and if we need even more space in the future, we can add more pocket dimensions inside here – and just keep going and going…” It looks like Lala has taken matters into her own hands and constructed a new room without you knowing. “I didn’t do much with it yet because I wanted to study what Earthling homes look like!”

Rias and Akeno (still both naked) enter behind you and study the room for themselves, “Hm. What a large space,” Rias comments, “If you have need of some furniture, the family storehouse is stuffed to overflowing with things my parents didn’t want to get rid of.”

You nod, “Thanks, but I think we need a more cohesive vision before we start getting things together… There’s enough space here to have a kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom already.”

“How about we start there? I’ll pull some strings and come back with some extra money next time,” Rias proposes, “You don’t realise how much freedom more living space gives you until you experience it for yourself. Our clubroom is larger than this so-called home.”

“Thanks for rubbing it in, Rias.”

“You’re welcome!”

You sigh, “Alright, alright. I’ll have a good think about what we can do with the room. It’s about time we sent you three home. Make sure you get dressed, Mitsuru says it drops you right where you were snatched from, down to the millisecond.”

“Indeed, no time at all had passed even though I spent the entire day here,” Rias explains.

The three girls tended to themselves and said their goodbyes, “Call me again soon hubby!” Lala cheered.

“Ara, don’t hesitate to summon me for whatever you desire.”

Rias settles for a kiss, before giving you a small wave as they fade away to their home worlds. You lay the gun down on your bed and sigh. That was hard work, but it was a lot of fun. How many hot-blooded males could say they slept with three women at the same time? Not many, you’re one of the chosen few. You pull out your phone and contact Mitsuru, she is quick to pick up, “Hello?”

“Hey Mitsuru, that armour of yours is incredible.”

“I know. I was observing the battle from the laboratory; the helmet has a camera built in. With that said, your fighting prowess could do with some work. The armour is strong, but you cannot count on every enemy being a pushover.”

You shrug to an audience of none, “Maybe you should have considered that before choosing me to do it.”

“If I allowed someone else to sleep with a gaggle of beautiful women, I’d never hear the end of it from you.”

“I guess.”

“I would like you to make considerations for someone to train you in the martial arts, weapon or no weapon. I visited the scene after you left and retrieved enough trans-dimensional material from their broken weapons and armour to press a new card.”

“Someone to train me? That’s a tough one.”

“Please contact me with your decision as soon as possible. The enemy will not wait for us to prepare ourselves, especially now that they know our true strength.”

“Okay, okay. I’ll try and think of someone.” Mitsuru hangs up without saying goodbye as she is liable to do. You stare at the wall for a moment and try to come up with someone who could teach you how to fight. A fighting game character perhaps? Or maybe someone from an anime with incredible karate skills?

Your eyes drift to the bed, and your heart freezes – good lord the MESS. Your sheets will never be the same again. You hurry over and quickly set about the arduous task of removing the offending linens before they soak through, as if you didn't have enough to worry about…
