Harem Reborn

Chapter 240: Iona Want To Frustrate You

I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed but the place didn't feel the same. Serina had been back in my life only briefly and now she was gone again, just like that. I got up, and then put my clothes back on; I needed to do something, go for a walk, something.

I headed back out into my connected living space and noticed that there was a phone on the table. That must be the hotline, it would be my ticket in the game to keep the girls safe. I went and checked the fridge, and it was empty like it was brand new.

'How do I make money in this game, Mom?'

'You don't, you must rely on the woman for everything. Helping them will help you, the women who you save know that they have to replay superheroes for saving them. So will help out with food, while others will repay you in other ways. Don't worry as long as you take care of the girls, they will take care of you.' -Tequila.

This was going to make for an interesting game, but I didn't want to wait up here for something to happen. Exploring the city would be better, and if I walked through the build, I might meet some of the girls. I looked around and then spotted what I was looking for overhanging by the door.

I grabbed keys, and headed out of the door, then turning back around to lock it. After I finished locking up I dropped the key in my pants and then turned around to almost jump out of my skin.

"Who are you?" an angry-looking woman asked from her open door.

"Gah! Don't do that! I am the resident hero, my name is"

"Good, my toilet is clogged. Go fix it."

Uhh, I don't think that's in the job description, but my phone wasn't going off, and this woman was my neighbor, so helping could get me some breakfast. Who knows, maybe I might get something else! Then again, the look I was getting was not one of, come in here so I can fuck you, it was more of the come in here and fix my toilet.

"Sure, I'm Dave. Show me what you need to be fixed and I'll see what I can do for you."

"Thank you, I know this isn't your job, but there is no person in the building to help with this kind of thing. I'm Celica, and my partner inside is Rorry, just ignore her. My place is just like yours so the bathroom is just on the opposite side."

I nodded my head and walked into the now open door. Inside it was filled with pink, I mean, everything but the walls and floor. There was a girl, in a frilly pink dress staring at me with a curious expression, looking like she was about to explode with questions. I was getting ready to prepare an excuse to not answer the tidal wave that was sure to come out at any moment, but I was saved by the bell.

I pulled my phone and it had a map with a blue dot and a lot of red ones. I asked Mom to throw it up on my HUD and I turned to Celica. 

"I'll get it fixed well I come back, sorry. Someone is in trouble."

"Go! What are you waiting for!" Celica shouted at me.

I was already putting my phone away and letting the ink sink out of my skin. Open the sliding glass, about to us my portals.

'Dave! A quick lesson in portals since you don't have time to learn. They are offense and defense. The first one is the one if you want to go forward. So if you jump through it you will come out the opposite side of the other portal. If you throw the first far and then jump through the second it will have the opposite effect. Got it?' -Dansei.

That was good, I could place a portal in the air and then one under the enemy, dropping them from the sky. Not perfect for all enemies, but it would be good for mobs. Plus there was still something I had to figure out about demon ink, but getting there was the first priority.

I place my first portal tilted forward and then the second tilted back. I wanted to make it so I could move fast, and this would be like a crazy roller coaster ride on springboards. I jumped in and launched out of the end portal, making myself another set right away. Once I got the rhythm down, I was skipping through the air, and getting close to the target objective, my little blue dot.

'Hey, ready to kick some dirty little crab arse? Activate Demonic Strike and your body will stretch and shift to help you fight.' -Jim.

'Thanks.'

'Oh don't worry, I am having a great time with the toothless wonder, Buster over here! Is that right! We are just the best buds!' -Jim.

'I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL!' -Buster.

'See? He's having a great time!' -Jim.

Oh boy, there were too many people in my head, and I was going to have to fix that at some point. These two knuckleheads didn't need to be inside my head, but that wasn't important. I was here and I stopped my forward motion and then used one portal to drop into and the comeback right after but falling up and slowing my fall. The Demon Ink prevented me from getting motion sickness and my trip was fast.

I popped up from a portal about three meters from the ground and landed in front of a blonde-haired girl. 

"Are you okay?"

"You took your sweet time getting here! Save me!"

"Sure."

I put a portal over the roof of a convenience store that was flat, and then one under her. She disappeared with a scream, but then landed on her feet on the roof of the store. Good, one thing I wouldn't have to worry about. Now, It was time to deal with the seafood!

[Demonic Strike] Activated!

There we mostly came from the front, so I threw a portal as far as it would go, ten meters, but that wasn't bad and a fall from that high would hurt. Then I placed one directly in the line of the path of the oncoming crabs, and they started to pour out of the hole. The portals were fairly big, around two and a half meters tall so it caught a good number of them off guard, and almost half their numbers rained down from the sky, making awful cracking noises.

The remaining crustaceans charged me, but I was all riled up now and ready to go! I leapt into the crowd of them, slamming down my massive expanding fists like megalithic hammers of midnight. The guts and shells sprayed like a visceral splash, but then they all turned on me, but I spun like a top with my arms out like a berserker whirlwind of devastation, cutting my foes down. There was more, but I didn't care, I was in my element, my body expanding and stretching without conscious thought, while I smashed and thrashed until there was no one else standing.

White milky juices ran off my absolute black body, but it was done, and the place was a mess, but I could hear sirens. I looked over to the balcony where a certain someone was standing with her arms crossed, and even from this far, I could tell Iona was glaring at me. I hadn't recognized her at first, and that is why she was pissed off, and probably that I said I would try to get her last game, sheesh, there was no winning.

I tossed a portal up to her and opened one in front of me, waiting for her to come down, but she didn't, of course, she didn't! This little tart! I had almost forgotten about her piss poor attitude! Maybe I would give her a little Grace 101! That worked for Aquina and Kierra, and I was always open to trying to get the best fit for a situation, hehe, even if that was my hand!

I walked through the portal, letting the ink suck back inside of me, and was confronted with a pistol, but I ripped it out of her hand. Shit! This was the Mage Cannon! Ooooh, the barrel was covered in magical runes of all the elements, so fricking cool! I needed this now, frick! 

I turned with Iona trying to climb me to get her gun back but I was too focused to do anything but use my free hand to hold Iona at bay and gawk at the work of art! I took aim at twitching crab just under twenty meters away and went to fire the gun but as my finger touched the finger, six magic circles appeared, spinning at high speeds.

Fuuuck! Why did I want the portals again? THIS WAS SO COOL! I squeezed the trigger and before I had the trigger depressed, the six rings burst from the gun expanding to be five meters tall. Then the trigger depressed all the way and the rings stopped and the runes for Ice lit up on the blue.

Then a glacial cannon like I had never seen before erupted from the pistol, leaving a frozen wasteland five meters wide and the length of a football field. The destruction was complete and total, anything that was alive or holding on, was now black particles, all the monsters were dead. Iona wrestled the gun from me finally, but I was already on the horn with Mom.

'I don't care what we need to do Mom, I want that! I should be able to trade this early, right?'

'Yes, you are allowed to change once, you will have it when you wake up tomorrow and Portal Mastery will be gone. Is this what you want?' -Tequila.

'Oh yes, this is very wonderful, very wonderful indeed!'

"What took you so damn long! I was waiting for your last game!" Iona complained while poking me with her Mage Cannon, the same one I just used to make a football field-sized skating rink.

"Hey! Watch where you point that damn thing!"

"I'll do whatever I damn well, please! You're not...HAY!" Iona cried out as she went over my knee.

"I think we got off on the wrong foot here little girl! I just lost my housewife! And I will not be having any lip out of this one!"

"I am not your house...OwO! That was my bare bum!"

"What was that? Did I hear something about bacon and eggs for breakfast?"

"You are a despicable man, Dave! OwO! If you're going to keep doing that then you better be ready to give me some more!" Iona said moaning over my knee.

"Nope! That's how I lost my last wife! Nope, spanks and fingers are all you will be getting!"

"I just won't go with you then!"

"Jeez I just want you to cook, is that so much to ask? Think of it as for room and board, just stop being such a little tart!"
