"Mom, this is Charles, the person I ntioned before. Charles, this is my mother."
"Charles~. I'm Helen~. It's a pleasure to et you~. My daughter has been telling many wonderful details about you~."
"It's a pleasure to et you too."
Looking at Helen, it was unsettling how she was trying to eat up upon our first eting. Claire's expression did a one-eighty once she saw how her mother acted.
"MOM!!!"
"Don't worry. I won't take him from you~."
Watching the two, they got along well. Helen was teasing Claire like it was sothing natural. Seeing them get along, a voice interrupted their mont.
"Helen, we will be taking our leave."
"We will talk later."
After telling Helen what they were doing, she told them they would leave. After they left, Claire and her mother continued to talk to .
"Charles~. You've slept with my daughter, haven't you~? How was she~?"
"MOM!!!"
"She was doing well. A bit too well."
"Charles..."
To talk about this at a party was wild. Claire's high-pitched scream brought attention to those nearby. Attention was sothing I had been getting too much of lately. Nevertheless, Claire's expression was cute when she beca quiet with .
"How can you say that? And how did you know???"
"You sll like you have matured~."
Sll? Claire didn't seem any different than her usual sll. Was there sothing else about their race that I didn't know?
"Sll???"
"You should know that I work with perfus."
She had cleared up what she had ant and continued to tease Claire. Should I answer the question she asked earlier?
"So~? How was it~? I was happy to see my daughter leave the house, but I want to make sure she is doing well~."
"Claire's doing good. We have been together for only a week, and we're hitting it off pretty well."
All we did together was a lot of adult activities. I could see Helen giving a smile different from most as she had caught on to what I had said.
"I didn't expect you to be lucky, Claire~."
"Lucky? I guess I did."
Claire didn't understand her mother's aning and just nodded. Her mother had realized it but didn't correct her.
"Everyone! May I have a word?"
It wasn't long before the host arrived. Agnus stood up at the podium and had all eyes on him. His presence attracted the attention of everyone, which was sothing normal for him.
"For everyone that hadn't heard about the news. We were at war with Zephyr's Trading Firm."
I was surprised that so people hadn't realized what had happened in the past few weeks. Were the others living under a rock or sothing? They could have ignored the news, but ignoring it would have been too much.
"Thanks to a special soone, the war had ended with our side winning."
Hearing Agnus's words, I knew I would have to co soon. Those who were interested wondered who this extraordinary person was. From his words alone, I knew I would be coming up later for a speech. Agnus had told this a week ago.
"Let's give it up for Charles!"
Claire's mother looked at and was surprised by Agnus' announcent. Blaine and those that recognized but didn't know my strength was in disbelief by what they heard. As for those who knew, it was sothing like old news.
"I will be back soon."
After saying goodbye to Claire's mother and Claire, I left them and went to the stage. Agnus stared at and handed a microphone. He had expected to say sothing good.
"How is the party, everyone?"
Before I talked, I asked the crowd how the party was. Seeing so people answer with excitent changed the silent mood.
"That's good. Now about my speech. As those who had participated in the war between the IUC and ZTF, it wasn't that hard to see our side being in the disadvantage."
My words had shifted the mood again, imrsing so people in what I had to say. Those who knew this nodded and continued to listen.
"Despite all odds, our side had won, but at a sacrifice. Those sacrifices will be forever rembered, and we will continue to move on to the best of our abilities. As long as I have my role to play in the IUC, I will never let this company down."
Those who knew gave a strange look when I made my speech. The last part of my speech was actual. With here, the company shouldn't be worried about enemies that could be killed.
As for those who didn't, they clapped for , and their opinions of grew in a heartbeat. The first part was entirely bullshit. I didn't say anything else and handed the microphone back to Agnus.
I returned to where Claire and her mother, Helen, were. The two of them didn't expect to make such a speech, which had increased their image of .
With returning, the five other girls had returned to my side, which had forced the eting between the six. The five girls and Claire's mother greeted each other and had a friendly conversation. I didn't expect them to get along so easily. Hellen's taste was weird when I felt her increase in likability, knowing these girls were part of my harem.
"Before I finish talking, let's start the main event!"
Main event? Agnus still wasn't finished with his speech. I rembered that Agnus ntioned that soone wanted to fight . Was that the main event? The main event was sothing anyone would look forward to at a party--especially at a party like this. But do I have to leave everyone if I were to fight? That would be a pain in the ass.
"Charles! You're back up!"
Repeating what I had thought, Agnus said sothing that would be a pain. I had left Claire and Helen for the second ti and returned to the stage. Once they saw my face, they could understand my pain.
Nevertheless, I returned to the stage, where most party mbers had cheered for my arrival. It looks like my speech has given so popularity.
"For our next guest, we have Serena!"
Serena? Following Agnus' words, a woman nad Serena appeared. An angel? I didn't expect soone from the angel race to appear. Like a dragon, an angel's world ranking is higher than your average rank. The woman's popularity was much higher than mine, with most people cheering for her.
Serena had bright platinum blond hair and bright golden eyes. For an angel, her body was pretty modest. It was a sha she didn't have her wings out.
"These two younger generations will have a battle to set the standard for our group!"
Using the two of us, Agnus would set motivations for everyone. It was good and bad for so to watch this fight. Even if there were so people motivated to catch up to us, there would be so that would lose their motivation.
As for the others, they cheered, knowing sothing in this party would have sothing exciting: a war hero and an angel.
"So you're Charles. Agnus has been giving you a lot of praise."
Talking to her for the first ti, Serena spoke with confidence. There was a tint of jealousy in Serena's voice. It looked like Agnus had often made her listen to . Being too talented is a sin.
"Is there sothing wrong with praising my talent? You seem awfully mad about that."
I had intended to anger Serena by seeing her power to its full extent. To my surprise, Serena wasn't angry about my statent.
It was rare for soone to have so much control over their emotions. I just hope Serena won't be a disappointnt in our battle.
"Provoking won't work."
I wouldn't be surprised if he drilled that into her head if she had t Agnus many tis. Before we fought, we would need the stage to fight.
With the two of us fighting, bets ca from the guest, with the odds being 3 to 1, with being the three. Even as a war hero, I was on the lower end, with Serena being an angel.
"You have more self-control than I thought. Agnus also holds you to high standards for him to call this match."
Since he gave Serena a chance to challenge , he has to hold Serena in high regard. The stage was set up as we talked, and we would battle in a different dinsion.
"Get on in. You two have a guest to entertain."
Agnus was much different in a place like this. He was usually straight-laced but was much more ongoing in a party like this.
Upon entering the battle stage, we were in the middle of a white room where you could see a video ga. Before we fought, we glared at each other and waited for the signal to start. With a loud beeping noise happening, we made our first move.
