----------------------------------------
After some time, the two girls calmed down. Ryu had been petting their heads all this while. This was a major reason why they calmed down so quickly, otherwise they would have normally cried for half a day. As soon as they stopped crying, Ryu let go of them. He turned around and faced his parents. Selina and Zaenor just stood there silently and waited all this while patiently.
Ryu told them, "Alright. They calmed down so how about we go home for now."
Selina agreed with Ryu. Zaenor also nodded his head and said, "Alright let’s go!"
As he proclaimed this, Zaenor led the way. By the time they reached their house it was dark outside. As they entered the house, the guards saluted and stared at the new additions (the girls). However, they were professionals and did not start for long. The girls held onto Ryu’s shirt the entire way home and refused to let go. After they reached home, Selina turned towards the girls and asked, "Now, I imagine that you girls would be quite hungry, am I right?"
The two girls remained silent, however as if betraying them, their stomachs growled. Both girls looked down and a slight blush came on their faces out of embarrassment. Selina and Zaenor just smiled.
Selina said, "Alright, dinner should be ready. Let’s go eat ok?"
The girls just stared at Selina and didn’t make the slightest movement. Suddenly Ryu started speaking, "Dinner will be super delicious. I guarantee it. It’s super tasty, don’t you want to eat?"
At this, the girls both nodded and walked towards the Dining Room with Ryu. Zaenor and Selina just looked at each other and gave each other a wry smile. It seemed like the girls were quite attached to Ryu. It would be some time before the girls opened up to them as well.
In the Dining Room, there was a small table, enough for about 8 people to sit down and eat. There was a chandelier hanging from the ceiling. On the table there were already many steaming hot dishes out. Ryu ran up to the table and sat down. Yuki went and sat down on his right, while Sylphie sat down on his left. Selina and Zaenor came in and sat down on the other side of the table. As they took the covers off the dishes and started taking food, the girls just sat there and waited. Ryu looked towards the girls and noticed that Yuki was staring at the meat dishes while Sylphie was staring at the salads and fruits. Ryu gestured to his mom and dad. They seemed to understand. Selina started helping Sylphie while Zaenor started helping Yuki.
Selina said gently, "Sylphie, here try some of this salads, they are really good. But here try this Garden Soup first, it’s really tasty."
Saying this, Selina put some of the salad in Sylphie’s plate and also gave her a bowl of soup with some bread. On the other side, Zaenor was doing the same with Yuki, "Here, try some of this hamburger meat, it’s really good. Also try this chicken and bacon soup first."
Saying this, he put some hamburger meat on Yuki’s plate and gave her a bowl of chicken and bacon soup with some bread. Seeing that, the girl’s began drooling and staring at their plates. However, they did not start eating yet. They hesitated and just looked up at Selina and Zaenor. Seeing this, Zaenor and Selina started smiling. Selina smiled, "You know, you can start eating right. You don’t need to ask anyone for permission."
Zaenor laughed loudly, "That’s right. Hahaha, eat to your fill. Just ask if you want something and we’ll give it to you, alright?"
Hearing this, the two girl’s hesitation was almost gone. Ryu gave the final blow to their hesitation, M"om and Dad are right you know? You are part of our family now. You don’t need to wait for permission anymore."
Hearing this, the two began tearing into their food. They were clearly content with the food, because they were smiling and eating with great gusto. They were eating non-stop. Seeing this, Zaenor and Selina just smiled. To them the girls were quite cute. With this the dinner scene became quite lively.
After dinner, Selina decided it was time for everyone to take a bath. Selina took the girls with her to bath while Zaenor and Ryu went to bathe in a different bath.
------------------------
Zaenor POV
I sat down in the bath and soaked in the hot water. It was so relaxing.
Haaaaaah. This is so relaxing. So comfortable.
Ryu said, "Baths are nice."
I started to stare at Ryu. It seems he noticed me staring at him after a while. He started fidgeting.
Ryu asked me, "Ummm. dad why are you staring like that?"
I told him because it’s not fair.
Ryu didn't understand so he asked me, "Umm what's not fair."
I asked him, "Oy why did you get so close to those girls?"
Ryu fidgeted and said softly, "Ummm, I don't know. I just felt like I must when I saw them."
Geeze, how is life this unfair. He is only 4 years old but he already has a player's attitude. DAMMIT. He doesn’t even realize that he has TWO GIRLS in his harem already. DAMMIT, he doesn’t even realize that he has a harem. Wuuuuh, how is life this unfair. Every man’s dream and he gets it within a few minutes of meeting them. And he even gets an elf and demi-human! I feel like crying, DAMMIT life, WHY???

RYU POV
Dad looks weird. He suddenly started groaning out of nowhere. He also is looking very pathetic. Why is he soo sad??
I asked Dad, "Hey Dad, is anything wrong?"
Dad just said, "No GODDAMMIT, Life just sucks. Haaaaa, never mind. Just relax and ignore me while I wallow in my incompetence."
I didn't know what to say so I just said, "Ok? I guess."
I didn’t understand most of what dad said other than life sucks. I guess dad is scared of mom’s punishment. I probably shouldn’t disturb dad when he is this scared. Hmmm. Whatever, anyway those girls are super cute. I just want to pet them and hold them. Fufufufu, I’m never letting anyone take them away. Otherwise, fufufu, I’m going to KILL THEM HAHAHAHA.
END RYU POV
--------------------------
Zaenor suddenly looked over at his son and shook his shoulder. Ryu snapped out of his aura and looked at Zaenor. Ryu asked, "Dad is anything the matter?"
Zaenor told him, "Stop doing that."
Ryu asked, "Doing what??"
Zaenor said, "That whole thing where you go fufufufu and start smiling evilly."
Ryu understood what Zaenor was talking about, "Ahh, but mom told me that I could get super strong by doing that."
Zaenor cried, "Aggh. No don’t listen to her."
Ryu told Zaenor, "But I want to get super strong so I want to do it."
Zaenor unable to convince him sank into deep thought. Suddenly he had an idea. He thought “Fufufu Selina you can’t change his personality. I won’t let you” And then he turned towards Ryu, "Hey Ryu."
Ryu looked at Zaenor, "Yes dad?"
Zaenor: You know, Yuki and Sylphie might be scared of you if you keep doing that.
Hearing this Ryu froze. He sat there silently, a hundred thoughts going through his head. Ryu mumbled, "No..way. Then..Then I will stop doing that!"
Zaenor smiled as his plan had worked perfectly. Now Ryu would no longer be influenced to have his personality become like Selina’s personality. It was his victory. The two continued to soak in the bath, each to their own thoughts. Ryu worrying if he had already scared the girls and Zaenor basking in the feeling of victory.
Afterwards, the men met up with the ladies. Yuki and Sylphie seemed to be happier and they were clinging to Selina’s dress. Zaenor and Ryu were surprised. In this short period of time, Selina had managed to get both Yuki and Sylphie to open up to her. She was a terrifyingly powerful woman. Both Zaenor and Ryu looked at her in surprise and a bit of awe. Seeing this, Selina just smiled and spoke to Ryu, "Ryu, how about you show them their bedroom?"
Ryu nodded his head, "Ah! Sure….. Wait which bedroom did you assign them?"
Selina said normally, "Oh you know, the bedroom next to yours."
Ryu asked, "The one with the door or without?"
Selina smiled, "Of course the one with the door."
Ryu gave his mom a thumbs up, "Good job mom."
Selina snickered, "Fufufu. Obviously. Who do you think I am. Alright girls go with Ryu and he will show you your room."
The two girls just nodded and followed Ryu. Ryu led them upstairs and took them down the corridor. He showed them their room. It was about 15 square meters or 160 square feet. There was a large bed in the corner of the room. There was a wall to wall cabinet/ closet. The closet was a walk in closet and there was a desk and bookshelf on the other side of the room. There was a bathroom located to the far corner. What caught the girl’s attention was the existence of a door on the wall. Yuki tugged Ryu’s sleeve and pointed towards the door. Then in a quiet voice she asked, "Why door?"
Ryu almost jumped in shock. Yuki’s voice was smooth and silky. It was not extremely high pitched but was higher than his own voice. He mentally pumped his fist. Then he put on a smiling face and said to Yuki and Sylphie, "That door leads to my room."
Yuki looked at him, "ehh?"
Ryu smiled, "Yeah and it’s special because you can open it only from this side and not from my side. This way, if you need something from me just can come over and ask."
Saying this he smiled and left after having explained to them all the features of the room. The girls just stared at each other then they went to the bed to sleep. Afterwards, Ryu went to his room and laid down on his bed. He smiled going through the day’s events. As he was going to sleep he felt two presences creep into bed with him. Feeling who the presences were he pulled them in closer to him. Smiling he went to sleep. Today had been a good day for Ryu.
