After another hour or so of navigating the mansion/palace/compound, Kazuya and his roommates/classmates started getting settled in.  Whatever personal items of theirs had been moved from their respective dorms into the master bedroom, which had an impressive number of dresser drawers with which to place their personal belongings.  Of course, as far as wardrobes went, Kazuya and the Pandoras were expected to wear Genetics academy uniforms, at least during school days.  As for weekends, they had permission to wear whatever they fancied, so long as it wasn’t against the general guidelines of the school dress code.

Having gotten the gist of the place, Kazuya pondered as to what he should do next.  He ended up getting his answer - or more specifically having the choice made for him - when Chiffon decided to take the initiative, given her position as student council president.

“Well now,” said Chiffon to the assembled group, “to commemorate our moving in as a group, what say we order in for dinner tonight?”

“Sounds good to me,” answered Arnett.

“Indeed!” chimed Rana in her usual upbeat demeanor, “Let us make this a momentous occasion to remember as fellow roommates!”

“What should we order, Chiffon?” asked Ticy.

There was a brief period of suggestion among the assembled group.  Some considered burgers and fries.  Others thought of Chinese food instead.  It was rather tricky to get a consensus going as to what should be had for dinner tonight.

“How about we put it to a vote?” thought Kazuya aloud.  “Majority pick is the winner and whoever is against it can make themselves something from the kitchen or order out for just themselves.”

“Good idea, Kazuya,” replied Chiffon with a grin.

After listing out a few options for everyone to pick from, the assembled party put it to a vote.  The winner ended up being pizza as the first choice, so an order was made for multiple pizzas made, some with just cheese, others with meat, and others with a plethora of toppings (onions, olives, mushrooms, etc.).  After being notified that dinner would arrive within the next sixty minutes, the group gathered in the colossal living room.  All of the Pandoras took a seat, either on one of the couches or on one of the various chairs throughout the room.

Kazuya figured by this point he would be seated independently…and found his assumption to be quite wrong once again.  Once more, he was seated within Satellizer’s lap, with her arms snugly secured around him and her bodacious bosom pressed up against his neck, sinking him into her cleavage and her heavenly aroma.  The girl was obviously crushing on Kazuya REALLY bad, given how strongly she doted on him.

“Hey now, Satellizer,” said Elizabeth, “you’ve been monopolizing Kazuya for quite some time now.  I think it’s only fair that he has a turn with someone else for a little while.  Wouldn’t you agree with me on that, Chiffon?” asked the British beauty to the student council president.

“Elizabeth DOES have a point,” answered Chiffon.  “Satellizer, I’m sorry, but I’m afraid that I must insist that you hand over Kazuya to somebody else for the time being.  He should get better acquainted with ALL of his partners, after all.”

Instinctively increasing her hold on Kazuya, Satellizer was clearly against the notion of having to give him up, even if the other Pandoras DID have a valid point.  She puffed up her cheeks in the most adorable of pouts, when Rana gently laid a hand on Satellizer’s shoulder to stir her out of her silent fit.

“Come on now, Satella,” Rana gently chided her friend, “there’ll be time to have some fun with our little Kazuya here.  It’s only fair that the others get to have a turn with him as well.  We all DID agree to this, remember?”

“I know,” mumbled Satellizer in response.  “I’m just not…ready to let go just yet.”  She increased her grip on Kazuya as she said this, smothering him with affection all the more as she tightened her grip on him (being mindful to not actually suffocate or hurt him while she did so).

“Aww, come on now Satella,” replied Rana.  “I’m sure one of us can tend to whatever it is you need while Kazuya tends to another Pandora’s…needs.”  The hidden meaning was lost on pretty much nobody.  Even Kaho - as sweet and innocent as she was, given that she was the sole freshman Pandora among the group - could read between the lines and discern what Rana was implying.  The blush on her face indicated as much as she placed her hands upon her cheeks and adorably looked downwards into her lap.

Apparently, Rana’s gentle insistence did the trick, for Satellizer relented and was willing to physically separate from Kazuya, loosening her grip on him and handing him over to Rana in the process.

“Alright,” mumbled a blushing Sattelizer, “here you go.  Just…be gentle with him, okay?”

“Of course, Satella,” replied Rana as she took Kazuya in her arms and secured him in her lap.  “He is OUR special partner, after all.  It simply would not do for any harm to come to him.”

So it was that Kazuya found himself in the warm and tender embrace of another Pandora.  He figured that since Satellizer and Rana seemed to have such a closeness towards one another, that that was the reason why Satellizer handed him over to Rana out of all the Pandora gathered in the room.

Though Rana’s breasts might have been smaller than Satellizer’s bosom by comparison, they were still very big from Kazuya’s perspective.  In fact, pretty much ANY Pandora’s bosom was more than a handful from Kazuya’s point-of-view, given that they were around double his height in terms of size.  So Kazuya found himself in the same position as he was with Satellizer, with a slightly smaller pair of breasts pressing against his neck and upper back as he reclined against Rana as she held him against her torso.

“There you go, Satellzer,” said Chiffon with a grin.  “I’m proud of you for doing that.  It shows a level of maturity on your part, to be willing to make a small sacrifice for the common good and all that.”

“Yeah, I know,” muttered Satellizer in response, while she still eyed Kazuya, now sitting in Rana’s lap.  Clearly, the younger L. Bridget sister had a case of puppy love for Kazuya REAL badly, given how she interacted with the young man.

The next hour or so consisted of smalltalk among the numerous Pandora, who talked with one another about various topics, whether it was schoolwork, fashion, or their more personal lives.  The least talkative of the group were Ingrid and Creo, given their personalities, but even they had something to say from time to time during the conversation.  In that period, Kazuya learned quite a bit about the four latest third-year Pandoras whom he had met:

• Arnett McMillan: 6th-ranked third-year Pandora at West Genetics, 17 years old, hails from Switzerland, single child (deceased mother), hobbies include lawn-mowing and gardening, favorite food is sliced cheeses, nicknamed the “Slashing Trickster” and “Mad Dog” as her combat monikers, 10 feet 9 inches tall, D-cup breast size
• Creo Brand: 7th-ranked third-year Pandora at West Genetics, 17 years old, hails from Germany (though Greco- Turkish by ethnic background), nicknamed “Lightning Hammer” as her combat moniker, hobbies include boxing and weight training, favorite food is gyros, 11 feet 4 inches tall, D-cup breast
• Attia Simmons: 8th-ranked third-year Pandora at West Genetics, 17 years old, hails from Italy, nicknamed “Manipulative Schemer” as her combat moniker, hobbies include jogging and board games, favorite food is milk (out of a desire to grow taller and bustier), 10 feet 0 inches tall, B-cup breast
• Ingrid Bernstein: 9th-ranked third-year Pandora at West Genetics, 17 years old, hails from Germany, nicknamed “Guardian of Order” as her combat moniker, hobbies include watching television dramas, favorite foods include beer and sausage, 10 feet 10 inches tall, D-cup breast size

In the midst of all the banter, a distinct ringing sound made its way through the halls and the group was cut off from its collective chatter.  Given that the sound was reminiscent to that of a doorbell, it was a safe assumption to make that dinner was ready and the pizzas had finally arrived.

“Well now,” said Elizabeth, “it would seem that dinner is served, so to speak.”

“About time,” replied Arnett with a grin, “I’m starving!”

“Just make sure there’s something for the rest of us,” said Attia with a snarky grin.

“Oh there should be enough to go around,” commented Chiffon.  “I made sure to order enough pies for everyone, so I’d be VERY surprised if there are no leftovers after we’ve all had our fill.  Just make sure that Kazuya has some as well, ladies.”  Chiffon turned her gaze towards Kazuya upon saying this, opening her eyes slightly and giving him a sexy little wink in the process.  Ever the guardian-type that she was, the student council president was making good on her promise to look after the newly-arrived freshman Limiter.

The Pandoras proceeded to make their way to the dining room and adjoining kitchen.  While some began taking out numerous plates, others made their way towards the dining room, taking seats among the massive dining room table.  Creo, Ingrid, and Chiffon made their way towards the front door in order to bring in the pizzas which had arrived, making their way towards the kitchen shortly after retrieving them.

All the while, Kazuya was still seated within Rana’s lap as she took a seat, right next to Satellizer at the dining room table.  It was at this point that one of the Pandora decided to speak up.

“Say, Rana,” spoke Elizabeth, “by chance would you mind handing Kazuya over my way?  You got to hold him during our time in the living room, so I figured it’s only fair to hand him over to somebody else now.”

“Awww, come on, Elizabeth,” countered Rana with a pout, “do I have to already?  I’ve only had him for a little while.”  Rana instinctively strengthened her hold on Kazuya, wrapping her arms more securely around his torso and burying the back of his head further into the softness of her bosom.

“Come on now, Rana,” said Arnett, “like Chiffon said earlier, we all agreed that we’d be willing to share the little guy.  And since you’ve had him for the last hour or so, I’d say it’s only fair that you let somebody else have a turn.”

“Oh, alright,” groaned Rana, before flipping Kazuya in her grip so that he was facing her now.  “Guess this is it for now, Kazuya,” said Rana looking down into his face before leaning in and getting a very passionate smooch in before handing him over to Elizabeth before returning to her seat at the table.

Once again, Kazuya Aoi found himself in the embrace of another Pandora, this time being the rather regal Elizabeth Mably of all people.  While the act of being passed around from one amazonian woman to the next was somewhat tedious and tiresome (as if Kazuya were some type of purse, handbag, or teddy bear to be exchanged between these women), the feeling of their embrace afterwards was anything BUT that.  Each Pandora was both soft to the touch while at the same time humbling in the power of her embrace.  Kazuya knew damn well that if any of them so desired, these women could practically snap him like a twig while he laid in their clutches.  Yet so far, each one of them was quite the opposite in how she handled him, with the gentlest of care and the most delicate of touches to his person.  It was something of a mix between being cradled by one’s mother and being embraced by one’s lover from what Kazuya could discern.  At least, that’s how he would have guessed it to be regarding the first part of that hypothetical, given that he never got to know his mother.

Once the pizza slices had been doled out, the Pandora’s began to chow down heartily into their evening meal.  With Kazuya seated in Elizabeth’s lap, he pondered as to whether or not he should ask for a bit of independence at this moment.

“Umm, Miss Elizabeth?” inquired Kazuya as he turned his head up to his current Pandora-turned-recliner.

“No need for the ‘Miss’ part, but you were saying, Kazuya?” replied Elizabeth as she bit heartily into a slice of pizza.

“Well, I figured that having me sitting in your lap while you’re eating is something of a bother, so if you’d like to remove me so you can sit and eat more comfortably, I’d be more than understanding,” Kazuya elaborated.

“It’s not a bother at all, Kazuya, rest assured,” countered Elizabeth, wrapping one arm around his torso while the other arm held a slice of pizza.  “I’m not inconvenienced in the slightest by this current arrangement, so no need for you to worry on my account, though I’m quite touched by the sincerity of it.”  Elizabeth emphasized her point by gently increasing her grip on Kazuya, further pressing him against the softness of her torso and bosom in the process.

‘These girls,’ thought Kazuya in reflection.  ‘I swear, it’s as if they’re practically OBSESSED with snuggling up against me with every chance they get.  It’s not like I don’t enjoy the feeling of them up against me and all that, but I’d figure that they’d prefer a guy who was more of a gentleman when it came to interacting with women…unless I’m reading the whole situation wrong.’

“Something bothering you, Kazuya?” asked Elizabeth.  “You seem rather distracted.  Is everything alright?”  This question in turn sucked all the other Pandora in, with whatever conversation they were having suddenly brought to a halt, and their attention now solely focused on both Kazuya and Elizabeth.  All of a sudden, Kazuya Aoi was now the sole focal point of attention among more than a dozen towering amazons, all of them staring intently upon him.

“Uhh…well…I umm…” muttered Kazuya, trying to think of the right words to say at that moment.

“Go ahead, Kazuya,” said Elizabeth in a very calming voice.  “Take a deep breath and then say what it is you’d like to say.  Nobody will interrupt you or belittle you for whatever it is you’d like to say.”

‘Kind of hard to not feel “belittled” when you’re in the presence of people who are basically twice your height,’ thought Kazuya in turn, before taking Elizabeth’s advice.  After a solid intake of air and an equally solid exhaling of said air, Kazuya collected his thoughts and said what was on his mind.

“Well, I don’t know if this is going to sound odd, but…” began the freshman Limiter.

“Yes, Kazuya?  What is it?” asked Ticy with strong focus.

“Well, maybe this doesn’t seem weird to you ladies, but it’s something that’s been nagging at the back of my mind for a while now,” Kazuya explained, struggling to maintain eye contact with the group of women gathered before him.

“And what is that, Kazuya?” asked Chiffon with genuine honest curiosity.  The other Pandora all kept silent, such was their interest in what Kazuya had to say.

“Rgh…” grumbled Kazuya, before cutting to the chase, “I just can’t wrap my head around how it is that you’re all…okay with this.”

“Okay with what?” asked Satellizer.

“This arrangement,” elaborated Kazuya.  “The idea of all of you pairing up with me…at the same time, no less!  Doesn’t it bother ANY of you?  Don’t you prefer to have a partner all to yourself?  Somebody that loves you and treats you special, above anybody and everybody else?  Am I crazy for thinking this way?  It all just seems so strange to me, like some kind of custom from another world or something like that.  You honestly can’t tell me that the idea of having to share the same partner is something that you’re ALL okay with?  Surely at least ONE of you has reservations about such an arrangement?”  Kazuya finished by taking a few deep breaths before collecting himself once more.

“I’m sorry if I came off as too forward to direct in what I said,” Kazuya continued.  “It’s just been on my mind is all.  I just can’t quite bring myself to being okay with becoming some kind of playboy and having my own…my own…”

“Your own harem?” asked Arnett bluntly.  Her response left Kazuya a bit flummoxed.

“Y-yeah…that.  It just makes me feel guilty…like I’m taking advantage of all of you,” continued Kazuya, looking down into his lap and feeling ashamed.

“Oh you,” sighed Elizabeth.  “I swear, you’re just too much of a goody-goody for your own good, if you’ll pardon my play-on-words.  Would you agree with me, ladies?”  Elizabeth turned to the other Pandora as she said this.

All of the other Pandoras smiled and nodded their heads in agreement with Elizabeth’s statement, even Kaho.  As improbable as it was, literally ALL of the gathered Pandora had no qualms or concerns whatsoever with what Kazuya was bringing up.  Some of them even outright chuckled at his concerns, which left him all the more confused as a result.

“Kazuya,” said Chiffon in a matter-of-fact tone of voice, “you really are a genuine, bonafide sweety, you know.  It’s rather touching that you’re so concerned about our feelings in the midst of this whole thing.  I’d have to say that kind of concern is going to earn you some goodwill among these ladies now, you little casanova, you.”

“I’d concur, Madam President,” replied Elizabeth as she nuzzled her nose into Kazuya’s scalp and breathed in deeply, enjoying the scent of his hair and getting slightly turned on in the process.

“Kazuya,” stated Chiffon clearly and succinctly, looking at the young man intently as she opened her eyes slightly, “please look at me directly.”  The freshman Limiter did so, not wanting to upset Chiffon given that (1) she was his senior, (2) she was student council president, and (3) she was a mini-gts.

“Yes ma’am?” asked a slightly nervous Kazuya.

“I feel that I need to be as direct as possible in saying this:  None of us here have a problem with this arrangement, okay?  The entirety of this setup was elaborated rather succinctly to ALL of us, including Ganessa and Kaho here.  While the suddenness of it all might be surprising to some, every girl here was given the choice to opt out of it, with no fears nor worries of reprimand on her part should she wish to back out of it.”  After stating this, Chiffon looked around at the assembled group.

“Ladies,” began the student council president once more, “just to help make things perfectly clear for our dear Kazuya here, please humor me on this.  If any of you - and I mean ANY of you here - have ANY reservations whatsoever about having to share Kazuya as a partner, whether that is in the classroom, in this building, on the battlefield, or in the bedroom, or in any other conceivable circumstance, then NOW is the time to say something.  I don’t want our sweet little darling having to worry his well-meaning heart over our intentions or feelings over this arrangement, so if you have some kind of reservation over this arrangement, now is the time to say something…and I do mean NOW and not later.”

Sure enough, to help elaborate on Chiffon’s point, not a SINGLE Pandora raised an objection - whether verbal or physical - to what she was stating.  Even Kaho and Ganessa were on board with the proposal, which surprised Kazuya all the more.  He assumed that the younger Pandoras (Kaho in particular) would have SOME kind of reservation or objection to the concept of having to share a single Limiter.  Kazuya decided to to voice this thought right there and then.

“Miss Roland, Miss Hiragi,” began Kazuya, “are the two of you REALLY okay with this?  I don’t want you feeling forced or pressured into this in any way.  If you’re not okay with it, then that’s perfectly fine.  I just don’t want you two feeling like you HAVE to join in on this simply because everybody else might be okay with it.”

“Kazuya,” began Ganessa, “while we’ve only just met, as odd as this might sound, I don’t really have THAT big of a problem with this setup, to be frank.  Would I prefer to have somebody all to myself?  Sure, what person wouldn’t, if we’re being honest.  But given that there are only so many Limiters to go around, it basically can’t be helped that Pandora are going to HAVE to share, if they want to pair up with a Limiter.  It’s either that or it boils down to a few Pandoras getting to be with Limiters and the rest having to hoof it on their own, and we all know that Pandoras do better when paired up with a Limiter.”

“But-” said Kazuya before being cut off.

“But nothing,” replied Ganessa.  “Like I said, I’d prefer to have somebody all to myself as a Pandora…scratch that, as a woman.  Am I alone in that statement, ladies?”  Ganessa looked around the assembled group for confirmation in that statement.  Sure enough, every Pandora nodded her head in response to the redhead’s analysis among partnering up.

“Having said that,” continued Ganessa, “I’m not so vain or selfish as to keep a Limiter all to myself and bar so many Pandoras the chance of pairing up with somebody, partly from a military standpoint, but also from the standpoint of a woman.  A woman with…feelings, and all that entails.”  Ganessa’s cheeks flared up with a slight blush on that last part.

“Ooooh, feelings huh?” asked Arnett.  “What kinds of feelings are we talking about, if I may be so bold as to ask, Miss Roland?”  The older redheaded Pandora was clearly having some fun at the younger redhead’s expense.

“Come on now, Arnett,” Creo spoke up, feeling the need to gently run interference.  “Don’t go knocking down the girl when she’s opening up like this in front of everyone.”

“Oh, I know Creo,” replied Arnett.  “I’m just teasing a little is all.  I’m sorry if I came off as making light of what you were saying, Ganessa.  I hope you’ll believe me when I say I feel the same way as you, as I’m pretty sure that my fellow third-years all feel the same way as well.”  Arnett gestured to all her fellow third-years as she said this, which got nods of agreement from all of them, even from the more reserved types like Ingrid, Creo, and Satellizer.

“Like I said, Kazuya,” continued Ganessa, “while this arrangement might seem rather strange, at least to most people, I’m not so stubborn or pig-headed as to walk away from it simply out of personal preferences.  After all, we ARE in the midst of a war, and tough decisions need to be made for the good of the cause.”

“So that’s how you justify it,” countered Kazuya, “the necessity of war and survival makes this okay?”

“It’s more than that,” elaborated Ganessa, “while the need to do what it takes to defeat the Nova is a major factor, it is not the ONLY factor in this as far as I see it.  From what I can tell, nobody here is a bad person, even if I’ve only just met them.”

“Well, I should HOPE that you don’t see us as bad people,” replied Attia with a roll of the eyes.  “I mean, we ARE doing our part to protect the continuity of our species after all.”

“Now now, Attia,” interjected Elizabeth, “the girl is only making an honest assessment of the company she finds herself in.  It’s something you can’t fault her too much over, given that she probably knows none of us on a personal level.”

“Thank you, Elizabeth,” replied Ganessa.  “Like I said, nobody here comes off as malicious or underhanded, so I can’t bring myself to hold a grudge or have animosity against ANY of them in any real way.  Therefore, I don’t really begrudge being in a relationship with all of them involved in it as well.  I’m hopeful that…given that they are my seniors that they’ll welcome me with open arms into this arrangement laid out and see me as an equal in future days.  After all, I may be a second-year Pandora, but I’m hopeful that I can rise to the occasion and prove myself a worthy member of this party in the days to come.  Anyways, that’s all I have to say on the matter.”

“I’m quite happy to hear that, Ganessa,” replied Chiffon with a grin.  “That’s a rather mature sentiment you carry, and I’m sure that in time we’ll all see you as one of our own.  I know that I certainly do already.”

“Umm…” muttered Kaho, figuring that it was more-or-less her turn to speak up now that Ganessa had said her piece.

“Yes, Miss Hiragi?” replied Chiffon.  “Please, go ahead and speak.  You have the floor…or I suppose table, to be more accurate.”

“Th-thank you, Miss Fairchild,” replied Kaho.  Clearly, the sole freshman Pandora was feeling rather intimidated, being in the presence of so many senior Pandoras, especially when they were all among the top-ranked in their classes.

“I…umm…I’ll confess that I find this whole thing…rather strange, to say the least,” began Kaho, “but that being said, I was offered a chance to say no to it, and I took it all the same.  So, Kazuya, you don’t need to worry on my account over this whole arrangement.  If I end up having regrets over it, I’ll have only myself to blame for it - not you, not anybody else here, only myself and myself alone - and I will inform the higher-ups of my regrets and my decision to leave, should it come to that.  But until that day comes - if it ever comes at all - I will do my part and make the best of this situation and get to know both my fellow Pandoras and my Limiter all the better…if you all will have me, of course.”  Kaho felt the need to be as respectful as possible in the presence of her seniors, given her status.

“She really is the humble type, isn’t she?” said Attia, sporting a sly grin on her face as she bit into another slice of pizza.

“Nothing wrong with that,” commented Ingrid, appreciating Kaho’s earnest nature.  “Better to be humble than haughty in my opinion.”

“No argument there,” added Elizabeth.

“Anyway, you were saying, Miss Hiragi?” said Ticy, trying to get the conversation back on track.

“I’ve more-or-less said everything that I felt needed to be said, but thank you, Miss Phenyl,” replied Kaho before turning her gaze back to Kazuya.  “Kazuya, I know that this seems rather odd to put things mildly, but if I were REALLY against this proposal, I would have said “No thank you” to it.  Of course, I most likely would have ended up in a similar situation no matter who I ended up pairing up with, given how things run at Genetics facilities.  And the way I see it, what better company to be among than the highest-ranked third-years as well as the top-ranked second-year to boot?”

“Don’t go selling yourself short now, Miss Top-Ranked First-Year,” replied Ganessa with a grin.  Clearly, both Kaho and Ganessa felt the need to complement each other as well as their fellow seniors.

“Thank you, Miss Roland,” replied Kaho before turning to Kazuya once more.  “So therefore, Kazuya, please don’t worry on my account over this whole situation.  Like I said, if I end up having second thoughts over the whole thing, I’ll speak my mind on it and I’ll have only myself to blame over it.  So until then, I’m in this thing through thick and thin.”  Kaho finished with a hearty bite into her pizza slice.

So once again, Kazuya Aoi found himself sitting in the lap of a Pandora, taking in the totality of the situation as it stood.  Both Ganessa and Kaho had stated their respective pieces over the arrangement of this matter, and the third-year Pandoras were clearly of the same mindset to boot.  There was literally NOBODY among the assembled Pandoras who were against this arrangement.  And even though Kazuya had heard it more than once from Chiffon from Day 1, it still felt so damn surreal.

“You’re all…honestly okay with this?” asked a bewildered Kazuya Aoi to everybody present.

“Yes,” was the response from all of the Pandoras.

“You’re all okay with…with a…” Kazuya was struggling to get the word out.

“Go ahead and say it, Kazuya,” chuckled Arnett.  “It’s not like we’re going to fall over and faint or something.”

“A…a ha-...a h-...”  Even then, Kazuya was struggling to get the word out.

“Go ahead, Kazuya, say it,” insisted Chiffon.

“A…harem…with me?” asked a rather flustered Kazuya.

“Yes,” was the answer once more from all the Pandoras assembled, including both Kaho and Ganessa.

‘What is this?’ thought Kazuya at that moment.  ‘Is this some kind of super-pervy teenage fantasy I’ve fallen into?  Just what is it about these women that makes them okay with having to share a partner?  Share a lover?  It’s all so bonkers…I just can’t wrap my head around this concept.  None of them seem brainwashed or intimidated from what I can tell.  They all appear to be joining in on this of their own volition.  Should I simply accept this?  I just don’t like the idea of taking advantage of them.  They’re not pieces of meat.  They’re women.  They are individuals with their own feelings, behaviors, preferences, histories, personalities, and all that.  And I’m just supposed to say “Hey, you are now all my sex partners, and you all belong to me now”?  I’m not some kind of sexual pig.  Kazuha raised me better than that.’

Deciding to break Kazuya out of his mental funk, Elizabeth jarred him slightly in her lap in order to get his attention.  After a gentle shaking, Kazuya looked up to see the regal-looking Pandora look down upon him with a smile.

“You’re feeling guilty about this whole arrangement, aren’t you?” asked Elizabeth with a smile.

“Shouldn’t I?” replied Kazuya.  “I mean, doesn’t it disgust ANY of you over having a shared lover?”  The messaging was clear-cut and to the point.  Though to Kazuya’s surprise, Elizabeth simply broadened her smile before leaning towards Kazuya and seizing his lips within hers, engaging in another session of French-kissing for a solid thirty seconds or so.

Once she came up for air, Elizabeth licked her lips, savoring the taste of Kazuya’s mouth before speaking once more.

“I must confess, Kazuya,” began Elizabeth, “I didn’t expect you to be so obstinately AGAINST the idea of this arrangement.  The vast majority of Limiters are only too eager to have such a large flower garden of women at their beck and call.  Yet you bewilder me in your reaction to such an arrangement.  You seem SO against this arrangement that it boggles the mind.  You’re not by chance…batting for the other team, are you Kazuya?”

“I beg your pardon, Miss?” asked a flustered Kazuya.

“I just needed to confirm whether or not you were into girls, that’s all,” replied Elizabeth.  “If that were the case, I could understand why this pairing up would be considered tortuous to you.  But from what I’ve deduced, you APPEAR to be a heterosexual male, unless I’ve read you all wrong.”

“N-no, you’re not wrong on that,” answered Kazuya.

“Well then,” continued Elizabeth, “then having confirmed that, allow me to ask you a multi-part question then, if I may, Kazuya.”

“Go ahead,” replied Kazuya.

“If you - by your sexuality - are “into” the opposite sex, and there are multiple women who are in turn “into” you, and they don’t mind “sharing,” so to speak, then what exactly is the problem?”  said Elizabeth matter-of-factly.

By this point, Kazuya was at a complete loss for words.  There was simply nothing left for him to say.  He was like a deer in the headlights, staring down at a truck…scratch that, staring down an eighteen-wheeler hauling two container units behind it.  He had no more cards to play in this back-and-forth conundrum of harem talk.  The entire focal point of it all rested on Kazuya, and whether or not he was okay with being the centerpiece of his own harem.  That was the long and short of it.  After a solid minute of silence, somebody decided to speak up.

“Kazuya?” asked Chiffon.  “Are you alright?  You’re zoning out on us.”  Kazuya could tell that Chiffon was being more serious than sarcastic in her tone, and the looks on all of the other women’s faces basically indicated the same at that point.  Taking another deep breath and collecting his thoughts, Kazuya exhaled once more before speaking.

“Alright,” he said.

“Come again, Kazuya?” inquired Elizabeth as she leaned forward and brought her head closer towards Kazuya’s.

“I’ll…accept this,” replied Kazuya.  “I still find it rather odd, if not downright bonkers, but…if you’ll all have me as your partner, I’ll do my best to be worthy of all of you.  I can only hope that I’ll do my best in satisfying your expectations.”

“Well now, it’s about damn time,” replied Arnett with a big grin.  “Didn’t figure that the biggest prude in this whole arrangement would end up being you, Kazuya.  Though I must admit, it was amusing for a while.”

“Let’s just be glad that he’s finally on board with this, shall we?” said Attia, sporting her own grin.

“Indeed,” added Ingrid.  “The sooner, the better.”

“Well then,” said Chiffon, “since our darling Kazuya is finally on board with this little arrangement, I propose a toast.”  Chiffon proceeded to raise her drinking glass in front of everybody.  The other Pandoras followed suit, all raising their glasses in turn.

“To a fruitful partnership, between our darling Kazuya and all of us gathered here,” declared Chiffon loud and clear before all the others.  “May our partnership be long-lasting, meaningful, and beneficial, both to the human race and to ourselves personally.  Cheers!”  Chiffon then took a deep, hearty gulp from her cup, emptying it in seconds.

“Cheers!” declared the other Pandoras, before downing their beverages alongside Chiffon.

‘This is really happening,’ thought Kazuya.  ‘I’m in a mass harem with a whole bunch of women…and NONE of them have a problem with it.  This is about as surreal as it gets.  I really am in some kind of juvenile heterosexual male fantasy come to life…and it’s certainly going to take some getting used to.  I just hope I have a big enough heart to cater to all of these women, and be a partner worthy of them.’

The rest of the day went along rather cordially, with more talk and banter among the Pandoras as Kazuya ate his share of pizza all the while.  All the while, Kazuya was soaking in the reality of his situation, which certainly wasn’t tortuous to say the least, but quite surreal and bonkers all the same.  His mind was in a figurative tug-of-war between objecting to this arrangement and simply diving into it and embracing it.

That was the main reason Kazuya didn’t eat much during dinner.

Once the meal was wrapping up, and the Pandoras proceeded to begin putting away whatever leftovers remained, the assembled party began preparing to go to bed…which meant collectively sleeping in the same master bedroom discovered earlier.

To say that Kazuya was getting a bit hot and bothered under the collar would have been quite the understatement at the moment.

“Alright now, ladies,” said Chiffon, “I think it’s time we call it a night now, wouldn’t you agree?  We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow, so we all better get a good night’s sleep.  Isn’t that right, Kazuya?”  Chiffon peered down from on high, given that she was standing tall and proud, focusing her gaze on Kazuya (as were the other Pandora at this point).

To say that Kazuya was feeling both outnumbered and intimidated would be quite the understatement.

“What’s wrong, Kazuya?” asked Arnett playfully.  “Cat got your tongue?”

“N-no, Miss McMill-...I mean, Arnett,” replied Kazuya.  “I guess I’m just trying to get used to being surrounded by so many women at one time, especially when I’m basically waist-high to the vast majority of them.  I can only hope you empathize with my point of view under these circumstances as they are.”

“Oh, Kazuya,” replied Ticy, who instinctively leaned down and scooped him up into her arms before cradling him against her own torso and bosom.  “You should have absolutely no need to be afraid when in the company of your partners.  We Pandora have all been educated on how to interact with Limiters at all times, so I hope you’ll take me for my word when I say you should have absolutely nothing to fear from ANY of us.  Am I right on that, ladies?”

The other Pandoras all either smiled and/or nodded in response to Ticy’s declaration.

“So you see, Kazuya,” continued Ticy, “please believe me when I say that you are in good hands during your time here at West Genetics, ESPECIALLY when in the presence of your partners.  The last thing that any of us would want to do is resort to harming our own mutual partner, you little cutie you.”  Ticy finished with a quick, instinctive peck of a kiss on Kazuya’s lips, catching him off guard in the process.

‘Seriously, what is with these women?’ thought Kazuya in response.  ‘They’re practically a step or two away from fully disrobing and begging me to either marry them, bed them, or both.  This feels like some kind of horndog’s wet dream fantasy that I’m living.  There’s no way I’m THIS lucky.  It just HAS to be some kind of waking dream I’m living in right now.’

“Well, Kazuya?” asked Chiffon.  “Shall we go and tuck ourselves in now?”  The first-ranked third-year Pandora followed through on her request with a quick peck on Kazuya’s cheek, further shocking the freshman Limiter.  The outright brazenness when it came to the affections these girls showed was becoming too much for the young man to bear.

“Uhh…yeah, sure,” replied Kazuya, still clinging against Ticy’s torso, with his head pressed against her own bosom all the while.

Shortly after, the entire group had made their way towards the master bedroom, with Kazuya in tow, being carried in Ticy’s arms as they walked.

‘I suppose I’ll have to get used to being hauled around like a small child,’ thought Kazuya, ‘unless I become very insistent on being put down when I’m in the presence of my…partners.  Though I’ll admit, I don’t dislike the notion of being held in their embrace, if I’m being honest.’

Upon making their way to the master bedroom, the gathered party - meaning everybody minus Kazuya - began stripping of their clothing.  Ever the obstinate gentleman that he was, Kazuya closed his eyes and waited for the women to finish changing out of their clothing, hoping that they would be in some nighttime loungewear after a few minutes of waiting.

“Kazuya?” said Chiffon, “What are you doing?”

“I…I’m just waiting for you girls to finish changing, that’s all,” replied Kazuya, with his eyes shut tight.

“Well, you were definitely spot-on, Arnett.  He really IS quite the gentleman,” said Creo, commenting on Kazuya’s sense of chivalry.

“You’re definitely right on that,” added Attia.

“Kazuya,” said Chiffon once more, “while we certainly appreciate the consideration you have for us as women, I must insist that you simply need not look away nor shut your eyes whenever we are undressing.  We ARE your partners after all, so you are certainly entitled to look at us in whatever state of dress we are in, you silly little boy you.”

“Even so,” replied Kazuya, who still had his eyelids securely shut, “it wouldn’t be proper for me to stare at a lady when she’s in a state of undress.”

There was a momentary pause of silence before Kazuya could distinctly make out a sigh, followed by footsteps making their way directly towards him.  A moment later, Kazuya felt large hands gently resting upon his shoulders while he found himself cast in shadow.

“Kazuya,” said Elizabeth Mably, “open your eyes, please.”

Kazuya followed the directions given to him, albeit somewhat reluctantly.

Before the young man was Elizabeth Mably in nothing but her birthday suit, wearing nothing more than a patch of blonde-colored fur over her nether-regions.  The young woman was staring intently at Kazuya, who by this point was blushing furiously and instinctively yearning to shut his eyes once more…if not for Elizabeth’s insistence to do otherwise.

“Kazuya,” continued Elizabeth, “please don’t close your eyes.  I want you to look at me, at us, and I’d rather not resort to begging to make you do so if possible.”  The tone in Elizabeth’s voice indicated that she was rather sincere in what she was saying.  At the same time, it seemed rather comical from Kazuya’s perspective.  After all, if Elizabeth - or literally ANY of the Pandora - felt so inclined, she could simply force open Kazuya’s eyelids if she felt so inclined to do so.  Yet even now, she simply stayed perfectly still, with her hands placed on Kazuya’s shoulders as she knelt in front of him, beseeching him to look upon her naked body.

“Please,” said Elizabeth, in an almost pleading tone of voice, “look at me.  Look at us.  Please don’t look away from YOUR women.”  The tone in Elizabeth’s voice was all too apparent.  The young woman was clearly insistent on Kazuya looking upon her body.

After a few seconds, Kazuya opened his eyes, taking in the heavenly sight of Elizabeth Mably’s body in all of its splendor and allure.  As he moved his eyes about, he saw that it wasn’t just Elizabeth wearing only her birthday suit, but literally every single Pandora in the room, including Ganessa and Kaho.  The whole lot of them were laid bare before Kazuya, leaving absolutely nothing to the imagination while leaving their bodies on full display to take in every single detail.  Even the more nervous and blushing types like Satellizer were letting it all “hang out” before Kazuya.

The young man felt his breath catch in his throat, moving his eyes slowly upon the assembled amazons currently surrounding him, taking in the view of their nude bodies before finally returning his gaze towards Elizabeth once more.  At that moment, Kazuya could only bring himself to whisper a single word, out of sheer instinct:

“Beautiful.”

Apparently, Kazuya gave the right response to what he saw, given the warm and rosy smile that appeared on Elizabeth’s face in response.  She leaned forward and gave a slow long kiss on Kazuya’s lips as a show of approval.  After a solid ten seconds or so, she broke off the kiss before stepping back and standing upright once more, casting Kazuya in her shadow along with all the other Pandoras.

“This…this all seems so strange to me,” said Kazuya looking up at his currently naked partners, “so it’s going to take a little while for me to be accustomed to all of this and not feel weird or awkward about it.  I hope you all understand and are patient with me.”

“Of course, Kazuya,” replied Chiffon.  “That practically goes without saying.  This is something that shouldn’t be rushed.  Forming a bond with one’s partner takes time in order to be properly cultivated.  In a way, it’s kind of akin to gardening, I suppose.”

“Interesting choice of words, using gardening as reference I mean,” commented Attia.  “Though I suppose it is a rather apt choice of terminology.”

“Especially given that we here are the flower garden to our little Kazuya,” added Ticy with a grin.

“So what does that make him in all of this?” inquired Creo.

“A hummingbird perhaps?” suggested Ingrid.

“Oooh,” cooed Arnett.  “Is that because they use those long beaks of theirs to go DEEP into a flower’s petals as they move from plant to plant?”  The innuendo behind Arnett’s questioning was lost on nobody, getting a few blushes out of the more shy Pandoras (and Kazuya as well).

“Must you turn everything into a sex joke, Arnett?” sighed Creo.

“Hey, I’m just a girl who likes to have a little fun is all,” Arnett playfully snapped back.  She then surprised everybody by leaning in and hoisting up Kazuya, cradling him in her arms and smothering him in her bosom.

Once again, the recently-arrived Limiter found himself being playfully manhandled by another large woman, with her boobs in his face and her enticing aroma all around him and getting him ‘hot under the collar’ in the process.

“Careful with him, Arnett,” Elizabeth gently chided the girl.

“Oh, I will, okay?” groaned Arnett as she secured her hold on Kazuya.  “So far I haven’t had a turn in holding the little fella, so I thought I’d seize on an opportunity, that’s all.  I mean, so far Satellizer, Rana, and you have all had a turn with him, so I thought I’d take mine now.”

“Okay now, ladies,” said Chiffon, feeling the need to referee the conversation.  “We should be getting ready for bed soon.  We have a big day tomorrow, after all.”

“Should we get a shower then?” asked Rana.  “That way we won’t have to worry about rushing to get one tomorrow.”

“Sounds good to me,” replied Chiffon, before turning and gesturing to all the other Pandoras.  “Well then, ladies?”

A moment later, the entire group was gathered into a massive showering room within the facility.  The room also had an equally massive indoor bathtub within it, though it was the showers with which the group stayed focused on for most of that time.

Of course, given that the act of showering involves one being nude, that meant that everybody - including Kazuya - was stripped down completely.  And though he was initially hesitant at the idea of mixed bathing, he was reminded that being partners with a Pandora entailed such things.  There was also the simple act of being overruled by a simple vote, where every single Pandora voted to have Kazuya bathe/shower with them collectively rather than separately, so therefore the young man ended up getting naked along with everyone else.

For the next hour, Kazuya spent time seated on a stool while he was being cleaned…by the Pandoras gathered around him.  What would have taken perhaps five to ten minutes for a standard washing, Kazuya was being exposed to the heavenly touches and ministrations from nearly a dozen women.  Each and every single girl got a chance to caress Kazuya’s body and get familiar with every nook and cranny on his person, including his more ‘delicate’ areas.

Some of the friskier Pandoras (mainly Arnett, Rana, Satellizer, and Elizabeth) even went so far as to give him full body washes, using their breasts in place of loofahs as the slowly rubbed up and down, back and forth along Kazuya’s back and torso.  Of course, that kind of skinplay was getting a rather distinct reaction from Kazuya, with emphasis on the area just below his waistline and between his thighs.  Once that was made clear, every Pandora couldn’t help but take a long, hard look at Kazuya’s ‘response,’ all of them blushing in varying degrees as they examined it.  Even the more shy types like Kaho and Ganessa couldn’t help but look at it, much as they tried to divert their eyes.

“Well,” said Arnett, “it’s good to know that you’re into girls, Kazuya.”  The ‘Slashing Trickster’ simply couldn’t help herself and felt the need to tease her partner somewhat, though it was all a harmless jest and nothing more.

The young man instinctively reached his hands to cover himself when he found each hand being seized up at that very moment.  One of his wrists was being held in the hand of Chiffon Fairchild, while the other was held in the hand of Elizabeth Mably.  Each Pandora looked down at him with calming smiles as they gently restrained Kazuya’s limbs, making sure to apply just enough pressure so as to not harm him.

“Please, Kazuya,” said Chiffon, “there’s no need to hide yourself from us, especially as we are now all your partners.  I mean, after all, you’ve gotten to see all of us wearing nothing, so I figured that it’s only fair that we get the same thing in return.  But joking aside, I don’t want you to ever feel ashamed about your body when you are in our presence.  You should be allowed to be perfectly comfortable with this sort of thing, without the fear of covering up, especially when we’re in the baths or showers.”

“Chiffon is right, Kazuya,” added Elizabeth.  “True partners should not feel shame or guilt over being exposed and vulnerable like this in front of one another.  It helps form bonds when moments of intimacy like this are shared and embraced.  And besides, girls like it when they make their partner…excited, so to speak.  I like to think I speak on everyone’s behalf when I say that it makes us happy that you appreciate our bodies.”  Clearly, Elizabeth was gesturing to Kazuya’s recent case of stiffness down below to make her point.

Reluctantly, Kazuya relented and backed off on the instinctive urge to cover up the proof of his ‘instinctive urges,’ effectively ‘letting it all hang out’ before the Pandoras.

‘I suppose it’s only fair, awkward as it may seem,’ thought Kazuya.  ‘It would be rather hypocritical of me to be covering up when none of them are doing the same.  It’s surprisingly mature on their part that they’re willing to be so…exposed in front of me.  We’ve only become acquainted in a relatively short amount of time, after all.’

“Okay,” sighed Kazuya, letting his arms rest at his sides, placing his hands upon his knees while leaving his genitals uncovered.  “Like I said earlier, this is going to take some getting used to.  The idea of…exposing myself, like this in front of all of you…it just feels awkward and so strange to me.”

“No rush on our part, Kazuya,” cooed Chiffon.  “In time, I’m pretty sure you’ll get used to this sort of thing.  And we - all of us here - as your Big Sisters, we’ll help you become more comfortable with this arrangement,” Chiffon turned her gaze towards the other Pandoras before speaking further, “won’t we, ladies?”

Not a single member of the other Pandoras raised any objection to Chiffon’s proposition whatsoever.  The more outspoken types like Rana and Arnett supported it rather jovially, whereas the more shy and reserved types like Satellizer or Kaho quietly nodded in agreement.  Those were the two ends on the spectrum of agreement among the assembled women, with everyone falling somewhere along that spectrum.

Deciding to simply let the smothering affection overtake him (given how late it was getting), Kazuya decided to raise no further objections to such intimate acts among the Pandoras as they continued washing his body.  The group had moved from the showers to the main bath, which was spacious enough to fit all the women with plenty of room to spare.  Every five minutes or so, Kazuya was passed from one woman to another, so that each Pandora would have some one-on-one time with him regarding physical intimacy, and so that the session would take no more than an hour to boot (they DID need to get ready for bed after all).

During that hour of washing/massaging/caressing from one Pandora to the other, Kazuya was given the go-ahead by each Pandora to touch her in turn while she was touching him.  Though reluctant to act on baser instincts (given his nature), Kazuya was almost borderline commanded to feel up each Pandora, given the insistence from some of them.

“Come on now, don’t be such a prude, lover boy,” teased Arnett when her turn came up.  “Go ahead and cop a feel.  It’s only fair, given that we’re doing the same to you, little fella.”

“It’s only natural for partners to become familiar with one another, silly boy,” added Attia.

The other Pandoras either verbally agreed with the general sentiment or nodded their heads in approval.  The consensus was pretty much clear:  These women downright DEMANDED that Kazuya become familiar with their bodies while they were doing the same to him.

Once the hour had passed, it was finally time for everyone to head to bed.  Ever the gentleman, Kazuya was getting ready to turn around and avert his eyes while the ladies began putting on their nightly attire.  Of course, this was caught on by them shortly after.

“No need to look away, Kazuya,” said Ticy.  “I mean, you HAVE seen us all naked by now.”

“Yes indeed!” chimed in Rana.  “You shouldn’t have to feel embarrassment or shame at the sight of us.  As Elizabeth and Chiffon mentioned earlier, we are your partners - YOUR women - so there’s no need to look away, even if it is done out of good intentions.  In fact, we’d prefer quite the opposite from you.  Isn’t that right, Satella?”  Rana turned to the super-busty blonde Pandora for confirmation.

Given her somewhat bashful nature, Satlellizer could only bring herself to nod while blushing, uttering a simple “mm-hmm” in response as she gazed down at Kazuya.

“I get the sentiment, Rana,” replied Kazuya, “but logical understanding and emotional reaction aren’t the same thing.  In fact, logic and emotion are quite at odds with one another for the most part.  So while I’ll do my best to feel normal about this arrangement, it’s going to take a little while for me to not be weirded out by it, that’s all.  Like mentioned earlier, I hope you’ll all be patient with me while I try becoming more…what’s the word?  Acclimated, I suppose?”

“Understood, Kazuya,” said Chiffon with that oh-so-endearing, heartwarming grin of hers.  “As the old saying goes, “Rome wasn’t built in a day,” and therefore you shouldn’t have to feel rushed on getting used to this pairing-up as it stands.”

“If you can even really call it a PAIRING-up, given these circumstances,” teased Arnett.

“Alright now, enough teasing around, Arnett,” gently chided Creo.  “We need to be getting ready for bed now.”

All the Pandora’s proceeded to put on their nightly wear.  Chiffon, Satellizer, Arnett, and Ganessa wore traditional nightgowns (with Arnett’s being the kinkiest given that hers was the most ‘see-through’ of the groups).  Kaho, Attia, and Ticy wore regular pajama shirts and matching pants.  Ingrid, Creo, and Rana wore basic undergarments, with Rana’s choice of loungewear being nothing more than basic cloth wrappings around her breasts and waistline.

“It’s a traditional form of undergarments from where I hail from,” explained Rana with a grin.

As for Elizabeth, she chose to go with wearing nothing whatsoever.  Apparently, the second-ranked third-year Pandora was rather accustomed to lounging about in the nude whenever she was in private settings.

“I never could see the need to wear clothing when it wasn’t necessary,” explained Elizabeth.  “Honestly, I feel that everyone should sleep nude.  I think most people would find it comfortable and far more preferable compared to being suffocated in whatever they are wearing.  Hopefully, I’ll have everyone here more in line with my train of thought before long.”  Elizabeth looked around the room before turning her gaze to Kazuya and giving him a sexy wink in the process.

Though the chance for more witty banter was tempting, the need for sleep soon overruled such an idea.  After one good, long yawn from Kazuya, the Pandoras all took a hint and started making their way towards the bed.  There was only one last thing to consider before finally calling it a night.

“So,” inquired Ingrid, “who gets to sleep with Kazuya tonight?”

The question put the young man in question in a rather flabbergasted state.  Were things REALLY going to go to the next level already?  Sure it was one thing to look upon his newly acquired partners in their birthday suits, but now things were moving on to the realm of getting kinky in the bedroom?  Already?  If Kazuya thought things were moving too fast as it were, he definitely thought that things were nearing lightspeed by now.

“Careful with how you word things, Ingrid,” sighed Elizabeth with a smile.  “Otherwise, I fear that you’ll make our dear Kazuya pass out with shock.”

“What?”  replied Ingrid with genuine naivete.

“Ingrid,” said Attia, “you DO understand that when you use the words “sleeping with” when it comes to two or more people, that there’s a hidden meaning implicated in the phrasing, right?”

A moment later, Ingrid’s eyes widened and a very distinct blush arose across her cheeks.  The normally stoic, no-nonsense Pandora had the demeanor of a delicate schoolgirl, given how flustered and embarrassed she was upon hearing about the implicative meaning of her question.

“Th-that’s NOT what I was referring to, I’ll have you all know,” declared Ingrid.  “I was talking about literal sleeping, not…well, you know…” Ingrid finished with muttering while she turned her eyes to the floor, the blush on her face staying on all the while.  Ingrid’s response ended up being simply too cute for some of the Pandoras to handle, given that two of them - Arnett and Rana - ended up glomping onto her shortly after.

“Ohhh, you’re so cute when you let your guard down, Ingrid,” cooed Arnett as she wrapped her arms around her fellow redhead.  “It’s so rare to see you lower your guard that I simply can’t control myself whenever I get to see you do it.”

“Yes, indeed!” Rana seconded Arnett’s declaration.  “It’s quite serendipitous to see you in such a cutesy state that it fills me with such glee that I simply MUST react to such a scene before me accordingly.”

“Urghh…alright, you two, enough of the lovefest already,” groaned Ingrid in response, blushing out of a mix of embarrassment from earlier and from being in such proximity to two of her fellow third-years “pressing the flesh,” with her, so to speak.

“I’ll have to agree with Ingrid on this one,” said Chiffon, feeling the need to play referee among her fellow third-years.  “We really DO need to get to bed.  However, Ingrid does raise a fair point as well.”  By this point, all the Pandora had turned their attention to Kazuya.

When you are in the presence of nearly a dozen women who (on average) are roughly twice your height, you can’t help but feel at least somewhat intimidated when being surrounded by said women, all of whom were eyeing you with varying degrees of lust and affection among them.

“Should we let Kazuya decide?” asked Kaho.

“That sounds like a fair suggestion in my opinion,” replied Ganessa.

“Well then, Kazuya,” declared Chiffon.  “Any preference on who your fellow bedmates for tonight will be?”  The other Pandora focused upon him with bated breath, awaiting his answer.

“Umm…I’m not sure…how to answer that, if I’m being honest,” replied Kazuya with some degree of unease.

“Madam President,” said Elizabeth, “I feel that putting Kazuya on the spot like this had made things awkward on his part.  It puts him under pressure to find a way to pick without upsetting anybody.  After all, whoever he ends up picking, the remaining Pandoras will feel left out to some extent.”

“Exactly,” added Creo.  “The perception will end up being perceived that however he picks will be considered his favorites at the moment and risk increased jealousy among the rest of us.”

“I see…” pondered Chiffon out loud, before turning her gaze back onto Kazuya once more.  “Kazuya, I’m sorry for putting you on the spot like that in front of all of us.  Please accept my apology.”  The tone in Chiffon’s voice was clearly serious by this point, with no sarcasm detected in it whatsoever.

“It’s quite alright, Chiffon,” replied Kazuya.  “Please, don’t worry about it.”

“Even so, we can’t ALL sleep cuddled up next to Kazuya,” stated Attia.  “There’s only so much of him to go around between us big girls.  I’d wager you could pair him up with two of us.  Three if we’re packed up extra close together with one of us serving as his mattress to lay on.”

“Let’s try to avoid smothering our collective partner now, shall we?” commented Elizabeth.

“Yes, let’s…” added Ganessa.

“How about we try to have a quick chat on it and put it to a vote if need be?” inquired Ticy to the rest of the group.

“Sounds good to me,” declared Chiffon with a grin.

After a good five minutes or so of chit-chat amongst the Pandoras, it was finally settled upon that both Satellizer and Rana would be the two to cuddle up against Kazuya for the night.  Obviously, Rana was quite giddy with joy at the notion of being able to snuggle up with Kazuya.  For her part, Satellizer was simply smiling while sporting a rather intense blush.  Clearly, the busty blonde was only too happy for the chance to embrace the freshman Limiter whenever the opportunity presented itself.

Shortly after, all the Pandoras had climbed onto the massive bed, with Satellized gently hoisting up Kazuya in her arms before laying him down in a spot cleared out for both Rana and herself.  Bringing Kazuya into her embrace, Satellizer gently draped her arms over him, with Kazuya’s head nestled between her breasts.  She then motioned for Rana to come join her.  The blue-haired Tibetan was only too eager to comply.

So it was that Kazuya Aoi found himself sandwiched between a super-busty blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty and her blue-haired, blue-eyed counterpart (with a slightly smaller bust), cocooned in their warm embrace.  Satellizer was facing Kazuya with Rana behind him, and both of their bosoms leveled with Kazuya’s head, effectively trapping him in marshmallow hell.

“You…can touch them, if you like,” muttered Satellizer quietly.

“What was that, ma’am?” asked Kazuya tilting his head up at Satellizer.  The blonde simply thrust her chest forwards slightly, pressing her heavenly bosom up against Kazuya’s face all the more.

“You can touch them,” repeated Satellizer.  “I…WANT you to touch them.”

Deciding that he didn’t want to displease the young woman’s offer, Kazuya brought up his hands and gently placed them on the slopes of Satellizer’s breasts.  The woman inhaled deeply with a restrained gasp, clearly enjoying the sensation of Kazuya’s touch.

“Well now, Satella,” cooed Rana, “it looks like SOMEBODY is having a good time.”  Feeling somewhat left out, Rana pressed more against Kazuya from behind, sandwiching the back of his head further into her own breasts.

“I must confess, I’m a little jealous of the attention you’re getting from Kazuya, but I’m willing to let it slide for the good of our family,” continued Rana.  “Just know that I plan on getting my share of care and affection soon enough, Satella.”

If Satellizer heard Rana, she was simply too tied up in the bliss from Kazuya’s touch.  She instinctively shut her eyes and stifled a moan the best she could, trying not to be too loud so as to keep the others from falling asleep.  After all, the softest and most delicate part of Satellizer’s body was her bosom, so whatever physical attention it got stimulated the woman immensely.

“Careful now, Satellizer,” commented Chiffon.  “A little playful hanky-panky is one thing, but please don’t go getting carried away and mount Kazuya right off the bat in front of us now.  It’s a bit premature to do something like that so soon, and besides, we’ve got classes tomorrow.”

“I…know…that…” sighed Satellizer between panting moans.  “I…promise…to be…good…”  The busty blonde instinctively brought her hands up to underneath Kazuya’s armpits and yanked him up so that their heads were level with one another.  She then proceeded to gaze deep into Kazuya’s eyes, her own eyes trembling with such delicate passion.

“Thank you,” whispered Satellizer.

“For what?” asked a somewhat confused Kazuya.

“For touching me,” she answered.  “Normally, I don’t like it when most people touch me…at least, when most men try to touch me.  But when it’s you, I’m okay with it…more than okay with it.  It’s like…like I…like almost NEED your touch.  I know it all sounds odd and I can’t quite put it into words in a way that it sounds anything OTHER than odd, but just know that…that I appreciate it - appreciate YOU - so much.”

Before Kazuya could reply, he found his mouth being assaulted once more by a very VERY passionate kiss from Satellizer, with her super-soft lips making contact with his before turning it into another round of French kissing.

“My my, it seems our Untouchable Queen is going to need to get a new moniker at this rate,” commented Elizabeth.  “Given how she’s starving for Kazuya’s touch, that title is becoming rather outdated.  Wouldn’t you agree, ladies?”

There was some gentle cooing and whistles from the other Pandoras in agreement and affirmation of Satellizer’s makeout session, and while Satellizer would normally be embarrassed to the point of full-blow mortification, she was simply too ‘in the moment’ to care about such a thing.  At that moment, she was fully intent on pouring her heart into the kiss as much as she could, which to her credit, she was doing an excellent job of, given how Kazuya was feeling at that moment.

From Kazuya’s perspective, he was enraptured in sheer bliss, getting to run his hands over such a massive pair of breasts and follow through with a tongue battle with this gorgeous woman laying in front of him.  A part of him wanted this to last forever, such was the pleasure he was experiencing.  But eventually, all good things come to an end, and the need for sleep and to come up for air eventually took their hold on the two lovebirds.

Once the makeout session was finished (even though Satellizer REALLY wanted to take things to the next level), both Satellizer and Kazuya finally let rest overtake them.  Satellizer repositioned Kazuya back down so that he was level with her chest, with Rana closing in on him from behind.  The young man was thus securely sandwiched between the Pandoras once more, feeling the smoothness of their skin and the warmth of their bodies lull him into slumber.

‘Just the end of my first day,’ thought Kazuya, ‘and I’m already being thrown into a full-blown harem.  This is beyond surreal.  I just hope…I’m considered a worthy partner to all of these women, especially given their rankings among their classes.  Time will tell, I suppose.’

And with that, Kazuya closed his eyes and enjoyed both the scents and the touch of his partners surrounding and overtaking him as deep sleep finally took hold.
