The room was pink. Not just pink — bubblegum attack pink. Soft walls, soft light, and in the middle? One big, clean bed like it was waiting. Waiting for something hot.
Kuina blinked. "Where the hell are we—"
Before she could finish, she realized her clothes were gone.
"Okay!" she yelped, arms flying up to cover her chest. "I'm naked. Cool. Totally fine."
Lika stood across from her, also bare — cheeks blazing, arms at her sides. But she didn't flinch. In fact, she was smiling. Heart-shaped eyes pulsing gently in her stare.
"You tried to save me," Lika whispered. "Now I have to return the favor."
Ding!
System Alert: Private Encounter — Locked
A glowing heart-shaped barrier appeared around the room. Outside it, Kylie slammed her hands against the shimmer.
"HEY! Let me in! She's mine too!"
Behind her, Mira was speechless. She just stood there, eyes wide, cheeks pink, one hand over her mouth.
Kuina groaned. "Of course the system would do this. Of course."
Lika stepped forward. Not shy now. Not timid. She sat on the bed and patted the spot next to her.
"Come on, Kuina. Just relax. I won't bite. Unless you want."
Kuina's heart was going nuts. She looked at Titaros — still frozen, his eyes barely able to move, watching it all. She felt... powerful. Seen. Desired.
"This is so weird," she mumbled, sitting slowly beside Lika.
Lika tilted her head. "Is it? Or is it exactly what you need?"
Before Kuina could answer, Lika leaned in and kissed her.
It was soft. Gentle. But it lit a fire inside her.
She didn't pull away.
She leaned in.
Lika deepened the kiss. Her fingers brushed Kuina's cheek, then her neck, trailing down. Kuina gasped, her breath catching, her body buzzing.
System pinged.
+1 Level… +1… +1…
Kuina barely noticed. All she felt was Lika. The warmth. The intensity. The way her body pressed in, curved to hers.
Lika kissed her neck, slowly, teasingly. Kuina's arms wrapped around her.
Outside, Kylie was pacing like a madwoman. "I swear to goddess, I'm jumping over this wall."
Mira stared. "You're seriously turned on by this?"
"Are you not?!" Kylie snapped, clutching her chest. "I'm dying out here. I want in. I need in."
She bit her lip. Her other hand drifted down. "Mmm... this is torture."
Mira sighed. "You're hopeless."
Kylie turned to her. Her eyes sparkled. "You know what would help us both?"
"Don't."
"Come on, Mira. For the harem. For Kuina."
Mira stared. Kylie stepped closer. "Let's give her a show."
"What the hell are you—"
Kylie kissed her.
Mira's brain short-circuited.
She should have pushed her away.
She didn't.
It was soft. Warm. Too warm.
Her pride cracked.
Kylie's clothes vanished in a swirl of magic.
Mira gasped. "Wha—"
"Shh. Let me."
Kylie's fingers reached for Mira's shirt. She hesitated. Mira gulped, but raised her arms.
The shirt slid off. No bra.
Kylie smiled. "Goddess, you're stunning."
"Kylie—"
"Just trust me."
They kissed again. This time deeper.
Inside the bubble, Kuina moaned softly as Lika kissed her chest. Her body was tingling everywhere, every touch electric.
Kuina pulled her closer, breath hot. "I've never... I didn't know it could feel like this."
Lika smiled. "Because no one ever saw you like I do."
Their hips met. Grinding slowly. Kuina's hands found Lika's back, nails digging slightly. Her eyes glowed pink.
System Alert: 3-hour requirement activated.
"What?" Kuina gasped. "Three hours?!"
"Better make it count," Lika smirked.
On the other side, Mira and Kylie were fully tangled. Lips on necks, legs locked, soft sounds filling the air.
Mira panted. "This is insane. I'm losing my mind."
"You're finding it," Kylie whispered, kissing lower. "You're free."
Back in the room, Lika and Kuina moved together like dancers. Their bodies fit, curved, sparked with raw energy.
Kuina's mind spun. I'm... am I gay? Am I bi? Who cares. This feels right.
Every kiss, every moan, every tremble — added power.
+1 Level… +1… +1…
At hour three, the system dinged again.

Clothes shimmered back onto Lika and Kuina's bodies. The pink bubble dropped.
Outside, Kylie and Mira were collapsed in a happy pile, panting. Kylie flicked her fingers and her clothes returned.
Mira just lay there. Still naked. Eyes wide. Breath shaky.
Kylie crawled over and kissed her cheek. "You were amazing. Also — damn."
Mira blinked. "Did we just...? Did I just...?"
Kylie winked. "Welcome to the dark side."
Kuina stood slowly, pulling her hair back. Her eyes met Lika's — soft, warm.
Lika whispered, "I want to stay with you. I want to fight beside you."
Kuina smiled. "That's the whole point."
System Alert: Lika has joined the party!
Next Mission: Rest, Eat, Recharge — 12 Hours Safe Zone Activated
In a blink, all four girls appeared in a cozy house, same pink hue. A little kitchen. A couch. Beds.
Kylie launched herself at Kuina like a puppy. "I MISSED YOU!"
Kuina raised a brow. "You were watching."
"Still!" Kylie nuzzled her. "And uh... I might have made out with Mira."
Mira sat on the couch, blushing hard. "She's lying. That didn't happen."
Kuina walked over, kissed her forehead, then blew her a kiss. "It's fine. You don't owe me anything."
Lika hovered nearby, quiet. Kylie stepped over. "Welcome to the club, sugar."
Lika blushed, nodding.
Far away — outside the safe zone — a storm was brewing.
Namo stood at the edge of a ruined battlefield, cold wind sweeping his silver cape. His soldiers behind him.
He looked down at the crater where Titaros had fallen.
No body.
But the lingering heat? The magic? That scent?
They survived.
"They're stronger than expected," he muttered.
He turned to his men.
"We move at dawn. This time, we don't hold back."
To be continued.
