'Kukukuku' laughing on his mind, Dark Shidou kept a sad expression outside.

'She is making everything so easy!' He thought.

After the whole Natsumi fiasco, obviously he had to return home. With Tohka's mood swings that Ratatoskr dealt during the day, obviously his target would reprimand him. And that's where she made her greates mistake; to think the boy in front of her was just some sort of dense elder brother.

He just said words like 'I have been useless all along' or 'I'm tired of pushing all of the work on you guys'. And when she said 'we are doing just fine, there was no need to act like that', the conqueror said 'just fine? I know you have been trying hard. Everything I fail, it's you who cleans the mess... I just wanted to help you people. But like everytime, I failed again. I couldn't even help Natsumi, who has severe confidence problems...'

And now, the setting was perfect.

"O-Onii-chan..."

His sister had truly an expression of pity and someone who did something they didn't want to do. And Dark Shidou looked like some idiot who blamed himself for his own foolishness.

"If you need me, I will be in my room" he said upon walking away.

"Onii-chan, wai-"

"But it's not like you would ever need me or want me near you to begin with" he added.

And he left her just when she had extended her hand.

He walked away like some idiot from harem animes and closed the door before jumping on his bed.

Diving his face on the pillow, the finally released his vile smile.

"Hahaha... Hahahahaha! HAHAHAHA! It was soooooo easy!" Yes. Everything had gone good and well.

Now Kotori had a depressed older brother that was probably crying in bed or something like that.

'I wonder what will happen tomorrow? Will she make breakfast for me? Will she come to me when classes are over? Will she wake me up? The countless possibilities due to a single thing: I triggered an event as if life was a game!' Yes, anymore actions on that day would be suicidal to his ultimate plan.

Kotori had to be left alone and he needed to stay alone. On the next day, she would try to help him or something. It was all far too easy. The first victory after a day of losses.

'Oh my, oh my!' He extended his hand to the roof as if to grasp the stars in the sky beyond it.

'You will try to help me and for the entire day, I will be an emo. And finally, in the night, I will be cheered up and tell you how much I value you'.

"I will even borrow some incest mangas with Tonomachi and leave them in a 'hidden' place she will 'accidentally' find and stir up her mood". He closed his hand as if he had crushed part of the world. 'And she will be mine' he thought.

'Tomorrow, you fall. Tomorrow will be the first victory of many! Tomorrow you will be mine!'

"Hihi... Ihihahaha! HAHAHAHA!" And then, releasing a truly a diabolical, yet inaudible, laugh, Dark Shidou finally went to sleep.

In his dreams...

"Heh, I'm awesome" he said upon looking at his phone.

Numbers and numbers, an entire city worth of girls conquered.

"All of the girls are mine! Finally this pain disappeared. Yanderes are a bitch, though. However, it's just a matter of balance".

Yes. He raised their affections and got the harem ending.

"Shidou, wait!"

"Hm?" He turned around.

A girl he didn't recognize was running in his direction. 'Another one of my harem?'

He really didn't recognize her. A girl wearing a school uniform. She had pink eyes and hair.

That's why he didn't recognize her. A beauty like that in an entire school was bound to to be remembered.

'Well, whoever she is, I think it's better to please her' he thought. 'Even stalkers deserve my grace once in a while'.

Smiling arrogantly, he aproached her just as she was catching her breath.

"Ah... ah... ah... how am I even... tired?"

"I don't know" he said upon gingerly sliping his hand into hers. "But I know one thing: you are (one of) the most beautiful things I ever laid my eyes upon".

The girl blushed as if steam was about to come out.

"Shidou?!"

"Kiss me!"

"Awawa... a-a k-kiss s-so soon?! B-but..."

Too easy. That girl was far too easy. But before he could kiss her, she shook her head.

"Nooo! Now is not the time for that! Shidou, you need to stop what you are doing!"

"What? But I love you, I truly do! Even though I forgot your name..."

The girl looked as if she couldn't believe what she heard. Dark Shidou acted quickly:

"So, kiss me to restore my memory!"

"No, Shidou! Listen, I'm Rinne!"

"... Who?"

"Rinne! To think you don't even know, it must be that inverse! Shidou, whatever happens you must not..."

Whatever she was saying, he stopped hearing.

Her mouth was moving to fast.

He could only get:

DON'T... HIM... TIMELINES...

"What?" He asked.

But the girl's pupils suddenly turned blood red. An evil smile appeared on her face. And finally, she disappeared along with the world of dreams.

"Ugh..." Shidou's headaches were worse than normal when he woke up.

Also, he was sweating.

Also, his arms and legs were locked.

He tried to move, but all he could feel was some sort of soft sensation on his right arm and some warm clothes covering his entire left arm.

"What is going on..." He tried to look aroung and...

'What the he-'

Situation:

Right arm: between Tohka's breasts (must have been the source of the soft feeling)

Left arm: entirely being hugged by Kotori (her pajamas must have been the warm clothes sensation)

Both of his legs: under Yoshino (reason why he couldn't mve them)

'Th-this is such an inconceivable thing! How dare Tohka and Yoshino not wait for their turns in my plans?! And why did Kotori come here? She was supposed to wake up before me, not sleep with me!'

'And why are the three of them here?!'

'And how do I get out of this situation?!'

Tonomachi barely woke up when his phone started ringing.

He answered Shidou's call, but didn't exactly understand what he was asking.

"You want to tell you how to turn off what?"

Dark Shidou answered in whispers:

"The biological mechanism known as 'swag'. I heard that it can lead to disastrous problems if not properly turned off during certain periods of time".

"... did you seriously call me just to ask how turn your swag off?"

Heretic Notes:

Forgot to turn his swag off, woke up covered in bitches.

This has been more of a plot chapter instead of the usual fun... seems like I will have go a bit wild in the ones to come.

Kukuku... hehehehe... Hahahaha... HAHahaha!

*cough cough*

Ugh... seems like I have been way too diabolical recently.

By the way... the impossible happened! Volume 7 was really finished! Hell must have frozen over while a blue moon appeared during the solar system alignement!

Lol!

Until next time, folks!

Heretic, out!
