Here lies the End of chapter six. May it rest in peace... Or not. Probably not considering at some point there will be changes made etc.. Well its the thought that counts right?
On a somewhat serious note......I tend to have problems writing about interpersonal matters. Why i decided to stay away from the Harem idea. No i will not be adding a harem.. NO i say!....My inner perv says yes but my mind says no.... Frankly i just would never be able to pull it off or do it justice. I know my limits. That said this chapter tries to flesh out the MC's reasons why he isn't interested in a relationship "At this time" etc.(is using the word "Flesh" in that sentence considered a pun?) I most likely failed quite hard in my attempt..I really really don't want this story to be just another random soft core porn story. It is what it is. and the best i can do atm. Maybe someday it will be better.
/End incomprehensible ramblings of a mad mad fool.........
Total Chap 6 word count 4777+
Hope you enjoy

Chap 6 part 3
On reaching Martha's place I heard what sounded like a couple cats fighting coming from inside the house. Concerned about Martha I quickly rushed to the door and threw it open. Upon entering the house I see Beth tailor and Sara Washburn on the floor attacking each other. Martha on the other hand was standing in the doorway to the kitchen laughing her ass off and holding a bucket of water she was in the process of tossing onto the two girls fighting on the floor. 'She seems quite fond of that water bucket' flashed through my mind while I took in the situation.
With a splash...The water served its purpose. The two hellions on the floor both let out a screech at the dowsing. At this point I made my presence known by yelling out . “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!?” The looks on their faces when they looked in my direction was priceless. I wish I had a camera on me it was that good. The two on the floor turned a interesting shade of red, and I found out that yes a Cert could blush. Meanwhile Martha was still laughing quite loudly.
The two woman quickly got back onto their feet and alternated from smiling at me and glaring at each other. With a sinking feeling I broke out in a sweat.. I suspected I knew what this little ruckus was all about but I prayed that I was wrong. I didn't need that kind of distraction in my life right now and honestly I didn't think it would be fair to a woman for me to get involved with one at this point in time.
While this was going through my mind Martha had finally stopped laughing. Looking over at me she said. “Welcome home Richard. I hope you had a nice day..” Glancing over at the two miscreants she continued “I think you are smart enough to figure out what is going on Richard.. So I think I will leave you too it for now. Dinner will be ready in about fifteen minutes. Beth..Sara. Your both welcome to stay.” With that she turned around and quickly escaped to her kitchen.
Feeling a bit envious about her escape and wanting to be anywhere but where I was at the moment I bit the proverbial bullet and turned my full attention to the two in front of me. Hoping against all hope that this really and truly wasn't about what I thought it was I said. “Hello you two.. Care to explain why you are trying to kill each other?”
Beth started off first .. “Its all her fault! She said you were her man and that I should stay away!. I saw you first so I.......” Interrupting her I looked at Sara and said “Is this true? You are telling people that I am yours?” Looking down and not meeting my eyes she blushed quite deeply and in a small voice said “Yes”... Shaking my head at my bad luck.. or good depending on how you look at things. I couldn't help but let out a small chuckle at the situation.
Running through more then a few fantasy's some including a harem etc in my mind I quickly realized that it would be a major mistake for me to get attached to any woman from this world at this time.
(Dan: Coward)
The problems that came to mind far outweighed the benefits. Not only for me but for any woman who I was to 'Hook up' with even if it was just temporary. I wasn't going to be staying in the village for any great period of time. And for all I knew simply 'hooking up' with one or both etc would introduce me to this worlds version of a shotgun wedding in spades.
Don't get me wrong I liked having sex just as much as any guy. I just have certain morals.. And jumping into the sack just to jump into the sack just was not something I did. I required..A connection. And while there was a certain amount of connection between both these woman It definitely was not enough for me to want to marry them or to put ether of them in danger.
Looking at both of these beautiful woman I let out a sigh and tried my best to turn them down gently. “Lady's, You are both aware that I am not from this world and I will not be staying in the village forever right?” They both nodded that they understood what I was saying. Going on “You do know that what I will be doing after leaving here will probably be very dangerous.”

Once again they both nodded “Well then I am sorry to say that while I am deeply grateful and flattered that you are interested in me I can not in good conscience be with ether one of you. In the way you seem to want. I hope we can still be friends though..” I said the last bit holding my breath. My hopes of nipping this little problem in the butt quickly were dashed though.
Both of them exclaimed the same thing at the same time. “WHAT?!” It when downhill quickly from there. They started asking questions like “Don't you like me”.. “Am i not pretty enough for you?”
They went on and on like that for a good couple of minutes. Finally they stopped with one last question that I felt I needed to answer considering it brought my manhood into question. Beth was the one to ask it. “Do you like men?'
Choking a bit I quickly replied “NO! I am not into men!”. I quickly went over the many reasons why I wasn't willing to get into a intimate relationship with them presently. They listened to my long winded rambling often times incoherent explanation quietly until I was finished. And what conclusion did they come to ? They said they understood and that sooner or late I would come to my sense's and pick one of them. Until that time came they could wait. ….....Yep...It would seem I wasn't going to be given the choice in the matter.[Dan: idiot]
With the excitement temporarily over we all headed into the kitchen to eat. Dinner went by quickly even with the woman all talking about my sex life or lack of it. When a thought came to my mind and like any other idiot I had to ask about it. “Why are you both so interested in me? Isn't there any other men in the village?” All three of the woman looked at me with that 'LOOK' The look that says 'Aww he really is a simple idiot'. After a few seconds Martha answered my question with a question. “Richard..Just how many young men have you seen in the village?” Thinking about it for a moment I suddenly understood why my question was so stupid.
In all the time I had been in the village so far I had yet to see any men my age, Plenty of woman running about but rarely a man. And the men that I did see were all ether really old like Frank or really young like Tommy. Looking up at the woman I said “Let me guess.. All the unmarried men here are ether too old or too young?” Nodding sadly at my words Martha said “Yes..And it is a growing problem not only here but also in other villages nearby. I dare say any village you enter your most likely going to end up with more attention then you seem to want. The birth rate for girls is six times that for boys on our world. No one knows why its just the way it is.”
'Awwww shit..The Mormons and others who think like them are going to absolutely love this world I thought'. Seeing that dinner was finished I stood up and helped clear the table. The woman shooed me out of the kitchen at that point saying a kitchen was a womans place.. Not something that I agree with by the way..I enjoyed cooking etc. But as the saying goes..'When in Rome'.. Besides this wasn't my house and I didn't make the rules. After saying good night to the ladies I headed into my room and as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out like a light.
Over the next few days I was repeatedly woken up by Martha's version of a alarm-clock. Her and that trusty water bucket of her's quickly taught me a new skill. How to wake up on time. Sadly I didn't receive any blue box stating this new skill though. Over those same few days I worked most of the time cleaning and organizing the blacksmith shop. After growing tired and extremely dirty doing that each day. I would grab the enchanting book Frank gave me and studied it. While the information wasn't exactly hard I have never been that great with memorizing things. Happily that seemed to work itself out though on the third day when a blue box popped up.
