“Harvey… You look like you know something,” Alex’s mom, Lavinia, stared at her husband with narrowed eyes.
His excellent mood, peculiar smile, and overall easy-going attitude despite their son bringing four girls to his room were simply too suspicious.
Lavinia could only suspect something.
Harvey chuckled, “You have always been the rational voice in our family. Sometimes you go overboard with your imagination, though.”
“…” Lavinia gazed at her husband in silence.
Harvey continued to smirk, “And I have always been the cool father. Alex grew up into an extrovert young man who still diligently follows his principles and pays attention to responsibilities because of us.
We had a perfect balance that rarely went off. But no one can maintain a proper balance in life. Sometimes, we get muddled by our rules. Occasionally, we try to adhere too much to them.
The best way… is to go with the feeling. And that’s what I do now. Have you heard Alex’s voice? How relieved he was? You don’t know what has happened between him and those girls, so don’t jump straight to conclusions.
If they are a source of his happiness and are okay with him, then Alex has my support.” Harvey shook his newspaper, retracting his eyes to it.
Lavinia’s eyes daggered her husband, “So you do know something!”
Harvey ignored her.
She then took a seat next to him. Crossing her arms, Lavinia started ranting about her son, who had been changing too much in a short amount of time. It’s been just a few months since he started playing the game, after all.
“This kid doesn’t even have money to take care of them all,” Lavinia harrumphed, ready to use her savings to force Alex to speak the truth.
Her husband grinned, “Maybe his girls will find highly lucrative jobs.”
“Oh no! No! No! No! My son won’t use girls to get money!” Lavinia shook her head a few times, then stood up, ready to call her son and his girls.
After his wife ran upstairs, Harvey whispered, “You are the same, regardless of the world.”

“Alex!” Lavinia banged on the doors.
At this point, her loud voice and actions awakened other girls. One by one, Alex’s beloveds started realizing their new situation. The systems flashed in their eyes, conveying what had happened.
After opening the doors, Lavinia stepped in, “W-What has happened?”
She instantly fixed her gaze on a white-haired girl whose peculiar golden eyes shimmered due to tears. Her red cheeks had many wet trails as she continuously cried in Alex’s arms.
Not knowing exactly what had happened, Lavinia’s tone became softer. She couldn’t get angry at Alex or the lady in his arms for some reason. Stella’s mood influenced even Alex’s mom, which was something impossible.
And as she stared at her, Sara approached her in-law, “Mom… It’s pretty complicated, but a lot happened before we arrived here… Could you give us more time?”
Lavinia nodded, “I don’t mind… But why are you all still naked?”
Sara formed a conflicted smile, “It’s… It’s because we don’t have any clothes.”
“H-Has my son ripped all your clothes?” Lavinia asked in a soft tone, now believing her own words, for her nice son couldn’t have such fetishes.
Sara blushed, then shook her head, “That’s not it…”
“I will pass you all my clothes,” Lavinia left the room, returning ten minutes later with clothes that would allow girls to walk around the house.
She then left her son with his wives, for everyone needed to have a serious talk.

“Ah… I am… I am… not… myself…” Stella cried in Alex’s arms as she recalled affairs during the antagonist’s events.
After getting hurt by the loyal dog, who blindly followed her father’s orders, Stella’s attitude shifted significantly. She reverted to her old self, and even worse. She was way lazier than she couldn’t even believe herself.
Even in her usual mood, Stella would never ignore her sisters’ wounds. She would take some time, but she would never utterly disregard their states. And since Schnee’s wound was life-threatening, the usual winged girl would’ve healed her immediately.
No, she would’ve gone Ultimate From to not let anything like that happen again.
Yet, Stella just glanced at her cat sister. And that was it. She didn’t do anything more, forcing Alex to use her skills through their connection.
Alex embraced her tightly, “You are yourself, Stella. You wouldn’t have cried for your sisters if you weren’t you. That’s it. That’s how straightforward it is.”
He could tell that Stella blamed herself thoroughly. Perhaps, Alex had taken some of the skills from the game world to the real world as he could see through Stella’s emotions as if she had written those in her eyes.
He tightly held her, encouraging while patting her bare back.
Stella clutched his clothes, hiding her crying face within his shoulder. She didn’t want anyone to look at her, for she knew she had been disappointed.
Alex and everyone else gazed at Stella with soft eyes. The girls approached her, stroking and ruffling her beautiful white streaks.
Schnee embraced Stella from behind, splashing her giant tits on her back, “You’ve shed so many tears. I know you are no longer influenced by that dog. And those tears mean that you think of this sexy girl as your real sister.
That’s enough for me. There’s a bigger problem in this world.” Schnee let her winged sister’s back go, crossing her arms as she took a seat on the bed.
She stuck out her ass, “My ass doesn’t look the same without my tail. I need my cat ears too. I probably won’t be able to even take proper steps.
Darling, help me,” Schnee curled up in the bed, hugging her knees firmly.
Alex smiled faintly, then lifted Stella’s chin. He pointed at her cat sister, who was fine without any wounds. Schnee had been pouting too, not feeling her cat ears and tail was just too much for her.
Stella felt indeed much better now that everyone encouraged her.
She nodded, “I will help too.”
Alex broadly smiled, “That’s my goddess.” He kissed Stella’s forehead, then turned toward Sara, who had kitted herself out in his mom’s clothes.
She looked pretty odd, but Alex smiled nonetheless.
