10 Slowly Getting Closer

Day 5

The rain stopped long ago, yet those f*cks still follow every step I take. They seem quite idle. Are they really searching for something?

No matter what I do those two keep an eye on me, like I was a retard and needed a babysitter.

F*ck, I can’t f*p with them being around.

***

It had been five days since the beginning of collaborating with Harem God. Collaboration would be probably the wrong description as the constellation was more similar to researchers observing their test subject.

No matter where Harem God went, one of the other two men would follow him. Of course, they did it in a very discreet way, so that Harem God wouldn’t be able to accuse them of doing so.

After confirming a direct relation between Harem God and the artifact they were searching for, Ace and Jiushi decided to build up some trust with him first. Since there was a time limit for their stay on earth, they had to accelerate the process and force interaction of both parties though. By doing so, they unwittingly generated a lot of loathing. 

Harem God kept getting irritated and hid in the only place the two couldn’t go to: the chicken coop.

Except for Harem God, the poultry livestock wouldn’t let anyone or anything go near them. Hence, the two wouldn’t follow him. He finally had his space from the two, but still couldn’t do what he wanted. After all, he wasn't very keen on relieving himself amidst the hens he had been raising since they had hatched from their eggs. 

Knock, knock~

“Harem,” Ace called from outside the coop while he gently knocked against the wood screen. 

“...” The youth’s mouth flinched when he heard the call, in this instant, he knew that things couldn’t go on. 

F*ck you. I still need to check all the porn mags they had in store, don’t disturb me. Two days without a f*p is immoral. 

Hence, he came out from the coop, which was only a bunch of stacked boxes and a wooden screen. 

“There you are,” Ace saw him and chuckled, “I just wanted to borrow your help a bit.”

Harem God narrowed his eyes. Why would you need my help, he thought, but he still nodded. He didn’t detect the other’s mischievous eyes at all. The charismatic smile on Ace’s face as he pulled him by the wrist had diverted Harem God’s attention.

The latter also didn’t resist being dragged along, as he saw that gesture often happen between him and Moshi in the past two days. He simply labeled it as a habit of Ace and didn’t bother to elaborate longer on this.

They walked not far, only outside through the backdoor. Jiushi already stood there, fiddling with a rotating spit, normally seen on funfairs. Beside him lay a large-sized piglet. When he saw them approaching he stopped moving his hands and smiled faintly.

Harem God watched the death piglet for half a day.

He hadn’t caught sight of edible animals in the wilderness since forever. No wonder those guys hadn’t bugged him the whole morning, they actually went out to hunt and even brought back a tasty piglet!

Saliva accumulated in his mouth. This was a feast he couldn’t miss.

“As you can see, we hunted a piglet and decided to hold a barbecue,” Ace said satisfied. The joy in Harem God’s face was undeniable, which increased his good mood even more.

“Can you help me with the preparations? Let Ace handle the meat and seasoning,” Jiushi chipped in. 

Harem God nodded, he already had tasted his cooking and knew where Jiushi’s blind trust stemmed from. 

With that, Ace whispered something into Jiushi’s ear, then moved to the piglet while humming a cheerful melody. Only two silent guys were left. Jiushi wordlessly blinked at Harem God for several seconds, who in response was waiting for a command.

Is there anything? 

“Harem…we have a problem,” Jiushi pressed his lips together as he conceded. His eyes were extraordinary solemn and Harem God involuntarily took in a sharp breath for some unknown reason. 

“How should I say this…” Harem God got even more nervous and unconsciously held his breath. The expression from the other male seemed especially grave.

Jiushi purposely paused several seconds, until he finally spoke, “There are feathers stuck in your hair.”

Jiushi’s expression remained impassive the whole time, but after three seconds, a faint upturned hook at the corner of his mouth appeared. 

Apparently, they pulled a prank on him, and Harem God could already guess the instigator. 

His face contorted and his anger nearly reached his limit, until Jiushi put something warm and salty in his mouth. 

Munch, munch 

Harem God swallowed the crisp yet mellow tidbit down. It was a flavor he had slowly begun to forget, but recognized the moment its taste spread in his mouth. 

Pop-popcorn! 

Jiushi observed his face and spotted an energetic light in Harem God’s eyes. 

Mmh, he must like it, Jiushi thought. 

Slightly smiling, he gave Harem God a bag of popcorn that was still warm, who took it and stuffed a handful from it into his mouth. It had been years since he last had eaten popcorn. When he ate it, the joy on his face resembled the one a little boy would have. 

“Help me set up the fire, when you finished eating,” Jiushi added. 

Harem God answered with a simple “Mn” and proceeded to obliterate the remaining snacks. 

Just like that, the three men spend the rest of the day eating and joking with each other. Or so it should have been. 

Harem God got a lot friendlier with them after going through hardships (cutting vegetables) and sharing a beer between men.

Though it wasn’t really beer, and he didn’t know what exactly they gave him, but he wouldn’t refuse good alcohol. After all, a lot of liquor already spoiled due to poor storage and that strange liquid went down with the right amount of spiciness. It delivered rich flavors while staying light and poundable¹Beer or wine that tastes so good, you want to savor the taste and slow your drinking pace. It is not going to give you a hangover unless you drink so much that you deserve it nonetheless.

What Harem God didn’t know was that they actually gave him spiritual wine, in hope of quickening his healing process. But it also had another unintended effect— The red meat in addition to the beneficial wine now boosted his libido. 

What Jiushi and Ace didn’t consider was Harem God’s abysmal low alcohol tolerance due to abstinence. They totally forgot since he reached the legal age long ago.

Thus, Harem God straight out asked them, because he couldn’t hold himself back anymore. 

‘You guys have any good f*p material?’

Ace who received the paper with wobbly writing first, checked the content and Harem God’s expression two times to see whether he was serious or just joking. It turned out that he was serious!

Seeing Ace not responding, Jiushi peeped at the small note in his hand. The question on it made him want to cover his eyes. 

So that was really his personality after all!!

Both men thought simultaneously. 

However, they naturally didn’t bring anything of that kind with them. It was a mission with top priority that mankind on the other side had invested years of resources in. Like hell they would bring something that useless with them!

Cough—

“Sorry, I don’t have anything,” Ace kindly told him off after clearing his throat. 

If I did, my cute Jiushi would kill me...

“Me neither,” Jiushi added succinct while moving his eyes away.

Even if I did, it would be gay…

Harem God shrugged his shoulders. 

Virgin p*ssis.
