Sally's Patience Explodes

Akane stifled a yawn as her hands expertly maneuvered the joystick and rapidly pressed buttons on the game cabinet before her. The bandaged character on the screen landed blow after blow on the mutated mass that used to be Valgas as his final health bar quickly emptied. Akane let out a quiet cheer as it finally emptied and the final cutscene began to play. And there you go. Power Stone beaten with every character in one sitting. Is there anything better than an arcade with infinite credits? Turning to show off her accomplishment to Bruce Akane was momentarily stunned that he wasn't next to her. Oh, right. Bruce burned out and fell asleep a little bit ago. It really freaked me out when he vanished into thin air though. Must be a thing with the Master's Suite because I found him sleeping comfortably in his bed.

Unable to stifle another one a large yawn **** it's way out of Akane's mouth as she felt her own tiredness settling in. That must have been around 30 minutes ago by now. Maybe I should consider turning in as well. Looking around the arcade Akane wrestled with herself. Or I could play for a little longer. After all, how often does one find themselves with free reign in a giant arcade with infinite credits. Wondering around the arcade Akane began to look for her next conquest with tired eyes. Deciding to shift things up after her fighting game binge Akane settled into the seat of a Mario Kart machine. As she was only really an expert in fighting games and far too tired to try and pick an optimal set up Akane just decided to go basic with her choices. Selecting Mario she immediately picked the standard kart and set the course to the first one offered. Akane began to hype herself up as she counted down with the Lakitu's traffic light. "3...2....1.... Aaaaaaaaaaaa” Akane jumped back in her seat and screamed as the screen abruptly switched to a close up of Nana's face.

“Wow, talk about rude. Do you just scream at everyone's face like that?” Nana questioned looking much more amused than hurt.

Once her heart was beating at a normal pace again Akane sat back up and timidly looked back at the robot on the screen. “Sorry” she muttered in a tired voice. “You just surprised me. I didn't mean to offend you.”

“It's fine” Nana said with an amused voice. “You weren't where I first expected to find you and when I noticed you were about to begin another game I had to quickly interrupt before it began.”

“You were looking for me?” Akane questioned. “Why? Did I do something wrong? I'm in the Master Suite like I'm supposed to be.”

“No, no you haven't technically done anything wrong. What I meant when I said you weren't where I expected is that I thought you had overslept and were still in bed with Bruce since my logs show him falling asleep 3 hours ago.”

3 hours! I thought it was only like 30 minutes Akane thought with surprise. Maybe Dad was right about my poor ability to keep track of time. Wait, overslept? “Why would you think I've overslept?” Akane asked the robot woman confused. “It's like 3 in the morning if Bruce has been out for that long.”

For the first time since meeting the robot receptionist of the hotel Akane was surprised to see the amused expression leave her face. Akane grew increasingly uncomfortable as Nana just stared at her looking confused for a minute. What, did I say something weird? But soon Nana's expression turned back to amusement and she chuckled.

“Man, and I thought Sally was bad about time management” Akane barely made out as Nana muttered to herself. “I'm guessing you're used to pulling all nighters a lot if you haven't noticed that's it's 9 in the morning” Nana said louder. “Maybe we should have put some windows in that arcade.”

9 in the morning! Dad was definitely right. I only meant to play for a bit longer after Bruce went to sleep. “Is that why I'm in trouble? Because I didn't sleep in bed with Bruce?”

“As I said before, you aren't in trouble. While you have to share the bed with the master if you do sleep no one said anything about you actually having to sleep. Forbidding all nighters on a season of gamers would just be weird after all.”

Relieved that she really wasn't in trouble Akane still felt fairly nervous. “If I'm not in trouble then why are you looking for me?”

“Oh that's because Sally asked me to bring you down. Everyone else is at breakfast and Sally wanted to make an announcement but they've been waiting on you. Actually this conversation has taken so long that I'm the one that may be in trouble with our slightly unstable host so if you don't mind I'll be teleporting you down to breakfast now.” Before Akane could mention that she would in fact prefer not to be teleported she found herself sitting at a table in the dining hall with Candy and Gwen sitting across from her.

“Oh good, there you are” Candy said looking over at her worriedly. “I was starting to get worri-gah” Candy cut herself off as she saw Akane's face and gasped in surprise. “Those are some impressive bags under your eyes. What happened? Did you not sleep? Did Bruce do something to make you uncomfortable?”

“Huh, oh no. Nothing like that. We just stayed up playing in his arcade all night.” As Akane answered Candy's question she looked around the room at everyone else. Candy and Gwen were sitting very close together was the first thing she noticed. Guess that means bonding isn't quite over yet. At another table sat two pairs of girls. Sylvia and Daisy sat next to each other although Sylvia looked half asleep as she leaned heavily on Daisy who looked very nervous and uncomfortable. Jenny and Jessica sat with them. Jenny would occasionally reach over and try and pull Sylvia off of Daisy but Sylvia would bat her hand away each time. At another table sat Nikki and Lydia. Nikki was leaning her head on her arm and had was looking amused as she watched Lydia awkwardly eat some bacon off her plate with her mouth. And then Alex and Luanne were at another table. Akane blushed as she saw Luanne sitting there red faced with both of her hands gripping her chest. Alex had a **** glare leveled at their host as she did her best to hold her ridiculous skirt down with her arms.

Speaking of their host Sally was rapidly pacing back and forth by the entrance to the hall. Akane felt a shiver go up her spine as she caught a glimpse of Sally's face and saw the manic expression in her eyes. I don't know if it's because of Junko's face or if it's Sally but that expression is terrifying. As if sensing Akane's eyes on her Sally's head shot up in her direction.

“FINALLY!” she yelled loudly seeing Akane in her seat. Akane curled up on herself in her seat as all the eyes in the room turned towards her. “What took you so long? You know what, never mind. I know what you were up to anyway but I was under the impression that you humans needed food and sleep to survive or something. Whatever. Not the point right now. More importantly now that everyone is here I can begin the annoucements” Sally rambled not stopping to even take a breath. “First of all congrats to everyone on their wonderful bonding adventure. I hope you all enjoyed yesterday and grew a little closer to your fellow harem mates.” Ignoring the several **** glares shot her way Sally continued on. “Now the question is who bonded the best? If you recall I said we'll be polling the audience to see who they thought bonded the best and who bonded the worst. The top two pairs will be receiving a reward of BP as a bonus when I hand out BP after the next popularity poll. We will also be seeing if the audience thinks worst pair should be punished so I hope all of you at least bonded good enough for the audience to be satisfied. Starting the polls.....now.”

Hopefully my awkwardness doesn't drag Candy and Gwen to the bottom of the polls. They were so nice to me. They deserve to be high up despite me.

“Now onto the other topic of today's meeting.” Sally paused as she just stared out at them with a blank expression on her face. Everyone was staring at her waiting for her to say something or even at least move. Her lack of movement was starting to creep some of them out. As the silence of the room crept on Akane felt a yawn coming on. Trying desperately to stifle it Akane was ultimately unsuccessful. As if the sound triggered something Sally suddenly turned and kicked a nearby chair. It went flying through the air and instead of breaking upon hitting the wall it broke through it leaving a literal chair shaped hole in the wall.

“THIS. ROUND. IS. TAKING. TOO. DAMN. LONG!” Sally began to shout. As she did she began to stomp her feet and pull at her pigtails. She looked much like a child who wasn't getting their way throwing a tantrum. Except unlike a child's tantrum Sally's face of rage sent a chill through everyone in the room. “SERIOUSLY, ELEVEN? WHAT WAS I THINKING HAVING SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE HAREM? DID I LEARN NOTHING FROM WATCHING LEAH? IT'S GREAT FOR THE MASTER AND THE HAREM BUT EVERYTHING TAKES FOREVER WITH SO MANY GIRLS TO GET THROUGH. AT THIS RATE WE'LL NEVER REACH THE CHALLENGE.”

_That's fine with me _Akane thought as Sally continued to rant. The challenge sounds terrifying. From the corner of her eye Akane then noticed Nana entering the room behind Sally. As she saw the robot begin to approach Sally she seriously began to fear for Nana's safety. What is she doing? She's going to get killed.

“IF I SKIP ANYONE'S DATES THEN THAT DESTROYS THE FAIRNESS OF THE ROUND BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE WILL HAVE GOTTEN A CHANCE TO APPEAL TO THE AUDIENCE. BUT I REALLY WANT TO eep.” Sally's rant was cut short as to everyone's shock Nana calmly walked up behind Sally and reached her arms around her grabbing the host's breasts. Sally and everyone else froze in shock while Nana just looked like she had done the most natural thing in the world. Without explaining herself Nana just began to fondle the boobs in her hands. “Nana, what are you oooo doing?” Sally questioned with a moan mixed in with her words.

“Calming you down. You were freaking out and scaring everyone. Now you already came up with your solution last night so why don't you just calm down and tell everyone, okay?”

“You're right. I'm feeling more calm now.” Sally paused for a few seconds but Nana continued on groping her breasts. “You can stop now you know.”

“Hmm, no I don't think I will. These are very lovely and I'm enjoying myself.”

To everyone's shock Sally just sighed and made no moves to remove Nana. Instead she just started talking again. “So for our second announcement of the day I'm letting everyone know that we will be holding all five of the remaining dates today at the same time.”

A few moments passed before five shocked voices all screamed out at the same time. “WHAT?”
