My Succubus Harem System-Chapter 197 - Surprise
Chapter 197 197 - Surprise
"So, you're going to sleep here?" said Ryan, confused.
"I imagine that for the time being, yes," said Ayumi, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room of Ryan's apartment.
"My mother had provided a solution for that," said Rin, who was puffing out her chest with pride. The girl took out a small box with a Ying and Yang symbol on the top, and as she extended it, a door appeared next to the door that connected the living room to Ryan's bedroom, bathroom and office.
"A new door? How's that going to solve this problem?" Luna asked from across the room
"Hehehe, the truth is that I created this," said Rin, who walked over to the door to open it.
As soon as the lock turned, Ryan and the girls were surprised by what they had found, it was a vast and comfortable new room. The room had four doors in addition to the connecting one, each leading to a gigantic room with space for offices, tea rooms and bathrooms. The door in the center led to a corridor with more than twenty doors, all leading to luxurious rooms as extravagant as the main ones.
"Kyouko is an amazing woman, we can't deny that," said Ryan. The place was quite large, and could easily house his entire harem.
"My mother thought of this place to fit all his wives," said Rin proudly.
"I thought you had the idea," Lyza commented, laughing at the girl.
"But! It was my idea, I just..." Rin was at a loss for words, not knowing how to react as she blushed with embarrassment.
"Well, that'll really come in handy," Lyza said, and then a competition began to decide who would get the rooms.
Rin, Yuki and Ayumi got the first rooms, closest to the door, while the girls got the rooms in the corridor.
"Well, now that I have space... I'm moving in," said Olivia, who opened the first door in the corridor.
Ryan was still a little confused about how that device worked, but instead of investigating, he decided to ask Kyouko at some opportune moment.
"I'd love to come and live with you, but I already have my own apartment," said Lyza, scratching the back of her head.
"Swapping that luxurious apartment for a dimensional portal would be a waste, apart from the fact that with the portals you can get here easily," said Olivia, who put both hands on Lyza's shoulder. The two of them walked out of the portal while Luna and Rin talked about the place.
"We need to organize a meeting between the girls, it's urgent," Olivia whispered.
"Hoh! I'm sorry" said Lyza, "So when should we set up a meeting?" the redhead said, this time whispering.
"Tonight, Ryan's having a guild meeting," Olivia concluded, nodding, and the two began to organize themselves for it.
'They're not the least bit discreet,' Ryan concluded, with an awkward smile.
>'If you want, I can order Yuki to attend the meeting.<
'Ah... I still haven't got used to you here'
<Nor am I…>
- Is that so? My sister, don't create a rivalry -
<But! She has white hair just like me! She has red eyes like me! She wants to copy me!>
>Wow! I'm too old for that!<
'Ah'
<Ah>
- Heh? -
>What? Why such an unexpected reaction?<
'Well... you know how old they are, right?'
>Nyx and Lux seem to have such young souls, you're not more than a thousand years old... Right?<
<....>
- How cute are you, that fox is such a young woman -
Ryan started laughing to himself, leaving all the girls confused.
"Does he always do that?" Yuki asked, looking at him with a look of disgust.
*"A lot more than he should," Rin replied, "But that's what makes him so interesting, you can never know what he's thinking," she concluded, looking apologetically at Ryan.
After a few hours, most of the girls had already booked a room. Ellen, Rose and Syl were shocked at the prospect of living near the academy, yet they opted to wait a while before moving in.
Alice and Sara said they had no problem with it, but Ryan was already thinking about how he would have to deal with Alexandra. Luna and Laila would have no problem moving in, so they started making preparations with Rin. Artemis said she would start the move during the week, the same choice Olivia had.
When Ryan left for the Guild, unlike usual, he went out the door to check his mail. The mail delivery system had just sent him a letter, and with that, the sound of the wind system blowing the paper to his door made it impossible not to catch his eye
"A letter from the principal," said Ryan to himself, crossing to the elevator door he tore open the envelope and began to read
"This message was written at the request of Margareth Wright and Principal Hao. Dear Ryan Whitemane, you are being summoned by the professor of advanced studies in theoretical and applied magic to work in the Neodrazzil innovation laboratory.
Within twenty-four hours your mana record will be integrated into the laboratory system, so feel free to enter during the periods of operation to begin your scientific initiation. We remind you that failure to comply or to show up to work as a researcher may lead to your expulsion from the Neodrazzil travelers' academy.
Professor Margareth Wright is expecting a reply within 72 hours. Thank you in advance for your understanding and support for the institution.
- Secretary Yumi"
Ryan looked at this confused, sighing he said to himself, "I can't believe I'm in this position again"
>What position?<
<Is he close to being expelled from university?>
>Has that ever happened before?<
<Yes, you should see how he was when I met him. Ryan was a skinny, scared kid who didn't know what to do, he'd never even touched a pussy.>
>Heh! I wish I'd taken advantage of this innocent Ryan<
<Ah... He got excited about that>
'Shut up a bit' Ryan shouted mentally, annoyed.
>Heh...<
'So I have to meet this teacher tomorrow,' Ryan concluded, putting the letter in his inventory and starting to look at the numbers in the elevator that were going down by the second. As he felt his body less weighed down by the descent, the strange sensation he'd had the other day returned to him, like déjà vu.
Leaving the elevator, Ryan walked out of the building and activated the portal on his watch to reach the guild. A dimensional rift appeared in front of him, and in seconds Ryan was through it to arrive at the Guild's office in Lacaster, a long way from Khalazhan's submerged base.
"I didn't think you were going to send me straight here," said Ryan, looking at the security camera.
A laugh rang out from afar, and footsteps echoed down the corridor where he appeared.
"It's been a while since we talked, hasn't it Ryan?" said John Wrynn, the guild's regional head.
There was a silence in the room, something that wasn't so unusual when the two met. John's office in Lacaster had changed location, now he was in a completely new room, with old photo frames from when he was still just a beginner traveler. The elf who was always by John's side seemed a little distressed, tapping her nails on a clipboard while staring at her watch.
>Nervous assistant staring at the time.
- This must be a complex subject -
>Or is she worried about something<
'That's certainly not a good sign,' Ryan concluded.
As the minutes passed, the secretary's concern grew. John was reading a paper newspaper in his armchair, and sighing he said, "It's getting harder and harder to get one of these," said the old man, with a sideways smile.
Getting up, John turned to the window and picked up a cup of coffee. The Lacaster sky was in the background, with clouds and dragons passing through the blue expanse. "You know, kid, I have some business with you anyway. So we can talk while we're alone"
'Alone? So this meeting will need someone else,' Ryan wondered. Thinking of various possibilities, he didn't know who else it could be apart from Aether.
The sound of the door opening and footsteps leaving the room came, and without turning around, Ryan knew that the secretary had left. The silence in the room was only interrupted by the sound of the air conditioning.
"The guild is going to start a new advertising proposal, I wanted you to be our face. My eye doesn't lie about you... I know you've been missing for a while, but you've done a good job of eliminating a few red portals over the last few days." John was looking extremely serious, the glint of his skill being reflected off the glass, so that Ryan could clearly see his face.
"I see no problem in appearing as a representative of the guild. I'm grateful for the offer sir," Ryan replied, trying to be as polite as possible.
"You know, kid. I've been thinking about how to solve this for a while, the guild has lost five SSS+ rank travelers in the last week. That's why I called you"
'Five... What could eliminate something of that level?
"I can't give you all the details yet, but I've been thinking about it for a while. Your ability, even before you told me, I knew you could evolve in rank," said John.
"If I may ask, how did you manage to see that?" Ryan inquired
"My eyes don't lie, kid, I can analyze the level of mana and skills of anyone I observe. You're evolving all the time, every time I meet you, you get stronger."
'So he has an ability to evaluate... That kind of skill is super rare...'
"That's why I called them," said John as he sent a click on his watch. "Ryan, I need you to level up to solve some of the guild's problems. So I'm going to help you out a bit with that"
The sound of a portal appeared, followed by four distinct sounds of footsteps.
"They're all Ranks SSS+. I want to know how far you can advance, I want to find out if you can be the first person to reach Rank SSSS+"

When Ryan turned around, what he saw were three beautiful women. But what caught his attention most was the blonde woman in front of them, it was Alexandra Lightstone, Alice's mother.
