"Behind me!” Shouts Murakami.

As soon as we join her, the giant bottle collides with the ground and intimidates us with a tremendous gust of wind, which is soon cut in half by her blades.

“Aaaaah!! Babies, babieeeees!! Die!” The titan nanny become furious, speeding toward us. As she steps, footsteps are trace on the snow.

"Loveta, lure the enemy to that pile of stones! Murakami, cover me! I'll cast that skill.”

The two nods in my command, and go into action.

Right now, we are on Aether, at a point farther away from Never City, where the blizzard is intense and constant. We are facing the most powerful enemy encountered so far; the level eighty-nine titan nanny. Luckily, only she originated here.

My current level is thirty-seven, not a big deal yet, but it's the most I've gotten in these last three weeks of intense hunting. When there are no possibilities to perform a solo attack, we perform a joint attack, like now, and when that happens, my role comes in as support, helping them with skills and information.

Loveta performs the function of area mobility and control over the enemy, in addition to dealing secondary damage. Murakami acts as a protector and primary damage dealer. If I had to assign a class to each one, I'd say Murakami is the warrior, and Loveta the acrobat.

Phanta, how's the vulnerability analysis going?

[The perception skill you cast earlier is still analyzing the enemy. The current percentage is 77%.]

I see, it's almost there!

Loveta fastens her chains around the corrupted’s waist, and taunts him toward the mound. Meanwhile, Murakami protects me from all the blasts coming our way.

“Master!”

“Good distance Loveta!”

I take a deep breath and direct my bow to the heavens, “Skill: Unfortunate Storm!”

As soon as the shot arrow reaches a high altitude, dark clouds begin to form over the enemy, and a barrage of arrows falls on him.

[System Warning:

Perfect! This skill I just used is the strongest debuff I have at the moment. It has helped us in many situations. But of course, it also has a downside; I can only use it once a day, and it uses up almost all of my mana, which is bad since mana doesn't regenerate in battle.

The reason why I asked Loveta to lure the nanny away is because if these arrows hit my allies, they would also suffer from the negative effects… Yep, the first time I casted this I was caught off guard, and so, the result, as you can imagine, was horrible! We had no choice but to abandon the fight that day.

[Player Kazuki, the analysis is complete! The weak spot is between her breasts! You already know what to do, fufu!]

Why do I have a feeling that she meant more with this…? Anyway, now it’s the time I was waiting for! The titan is silenced for thirty seconds, which means she won't be able to use any other powers during this time.

I warn the girls about her weakness and so they nod.

Murakami throws a sword towards the enemy's chest, and in a swift leap, she deflects the blade with her second sword, which doubles its speed, making it hit the nanny squarely.

[Critical Hit!]

[Enemy HP: 879K/1121K]

Yeah! The titan loses fifty-four thousands of life! Before we were maxing out at twelve thousand!

Now it was Loveta's turn. She approaches the nanny and begins rotating her chains in the air, turning them into two huge cutting disks.

SWISH!

The enemy's chest is cut, and blood is sprayed everywhere.

[Critical Hit!]

[Enemy HP: 840K/1121K]

A difference of fifteen thousand compared to the last damage, but still very significant!

“Huaaaaa!! I hateeeeeeeeeee them! I hateeee you!!!” The babysitter tries to slam her bottle on the floor again, but is prevented by the silencer.

Now it's my turn. I won't be able to do as much damage as they do, but the least I can get is worth it.

I aim the spot between her breasts and so I cast my next blow: “Skill: Detonation of thirty dynamites!”

KABOOM!

[Critical Hit!]

[Enemy HP: 830K/1121K]

And with that I deal ten thousand damage!

[System Warning: Silence timed out.]

“Ahhhh!!! Dieeeee!!!” The babysitter vertically shakes her bottle, spouting milk up and down.

“Ughh!”

“Gyaaaa!! My clothes!!” The girls scream.

The milk was acidic. We start to lose HP from the splashes at the same time our clothes and armor begin to corrode.

“Gyaaa!! What do we do now?!”

“I don't think we have any option but to take the bottle out of her hand! My swords won't last much longer...!” Murakami tries to protect us from the acid rain, but as she does so, her swords are corroded.

Tch, we need to act fast! My HP is at 14.8K/20K, and I'm losing two hundred HP per second. Their lives don't stop going down either… How could we put an end to her bottle? I have a skill that could work, but due to the scarcity of my current mana, I won't be able to use it. I'll be limited to more basic attacks...

“Ryouzen, do you still have energy to use the flash attack?” Murakami already knew about my current mana problem, so she tries to think of alternative solutions.

“The 'Flash Arrow'? Yes, I'm low on mana, but I can still throw it.”

“Excellent. Loveta, tries to attach your chains to the babysitter's bottle. On my command, Ryouzen will launch the flash and you will pull it with all your might.”

Oh, that might work! With the flash the babysitter will be vulnerable, and will create the perfect opening for Loveta to take out her bottle. Nice plan Murakami!

So said, so done. We didn't make it on the first try, but on the second Murakami helps Loveta pull her chains harder, and the plan turns out to be a success. With the bottle out of hands, the rest of the fight was easy. Loveta tossed the bottle a few feet away, and the nanny had no choice but to use her fists, which were far less effective.

The babysitter drops to her knees, then her entire body falls to the ground.

That was another one added to the defeated list baby!

I approach the titan and so the experience flows into me. The drops appear soon after.

Phew, I couldn't level up or gain new skill, but at least I got this 'Child's Bow'. Um, the level is eighty-nine... Yeah, I can't use it.

"Ryouzen… would you happen to have any clothes stored in your inventory?"

“Gigigi! I want some too! It's too cold~”

As soon as I take a look at them—

SWISH!

Blood runs from my nose.

With their armor corroded and the milk still on their skin, they look like hent*i girls! The most important parts are still being covered, but the rest is much more exposed!

Several erotic thoughts dominate my mind.

[Take a good look, player Kazuki. While Loveta wins in the bust, Scarllet wins in the hip!]

Y-yeah... That’s true. Never would I get such a good view of these two…

[But do you know what's even better? Me.]

CLING! CLING! CLING!

"........."

Phanta, are you sending me pictures of you again? Erotic on top of that?!

[Don't worry, it's a body over eighteen, fufu.]

Over eighteen? Then it’s ok, no, wait a second! That's not the issue here!

[But what’s the problem? You like to see them both, don't you? What's the matter with me being in the middle?]

Phanta, pay attention, you're an AI. If I start to like an AI, my life will be marked by loneliness! This is something I need to avoid at all costs!

[Fufufu, you surely are funny. I like that about you~]

…Anyway, I need to find something fast for these two to wear.

I open my inventory and grab some hot parts.

“You know, Ryouzen, to this day I’m still impressed with your warehouse. When you pick up an item, it seems like it just pops into your hand. Can you really put anything in there?” Murakami asks curious, while putting on her clothes.

“Yes, as long as it does not exceed the limit of two hundred and fifty.”

The inventory is indeed useful. I can even place items bought in real stores of this world, such as the clothes I just gave them. The only downside is the capacity. It may seem like a lot, but it's not. It fills up fast, and if I want more space, I literally have to buy more. I've done this a few times before, but now the price to unlock is way up! My 'awakening', sometimes, seems to make fun of me...

"Aren't you also going to dress up Master Kazu?" Loveta had already put on a tracksuit, and was staring at my upper body, which was fully exposed.

“Oh? Sorry, I forgot because of my frost resistance status...”

“Gya! Frost resistance? For real?!”

“Yeah... Since I started going to this place, this attribute of mine started to rise dramatically. It may seem strange, but I feel the temperature here surprisingly pleasant.”

“So cool! Since it's like that, why don't you go shirtless~?”

“Huh? What are you saying to him Loveta?” The girl with blue eyes was uncomfortable for understandable reasons.

“Gya? What's the matter Akami, my Master is more muscular now, I want to keep seeing him like this~”

“B-but this is totally—!” Murakami was about to speak, but is soon interrupted.

"It's no use saying it's immoral! You keep staring at his chest all the time!”

Murakami turns completely red upon hearing the wolf girl’ words.

“L-lie! I do not stare!”

“Yes! You do!”

[Do you see player Kazuki? These are signs of a promising harem.]

This scene... No, this can't be happening. I must be imagining things. Something so faithful to manga? No, there must be something wrong.

[It is the purest absolute truth.]

Could it be true what Loveta just said? Oh man! I’ll need to be much more attentive from now on!

Murakami approaches me, with her face still on fire.

"L-Loveta doesn't know what she says! Anyway, look over there” She points towards one of the peaks “Is it just me or is there someone waving at us?”

...Waving?

I follow her gaze and come across the figure in question. The blizzard softens until it reveals an image I knew very well.

—?!

“What the hell! That is Taichi! What is going on here?? Did he also get access to Aether?!”
