Things were moving along well enough at West Genetics, all things considered.

In spite of the close call with the three bullies from earlier and the semi-brazen attempt from Miyabi to sexually claim Kazuya in front of ALL of his partners-to-be, things went relatively smooth in the totality of the day’s events.  Deciding to retire to their shared residency, Kazuya and his unofficial partners had decided to wrap up the day’s events by going over their course materials and figure out what to have for dinner.  There was consideration of making a group visit down to the mess hall to grab something for pickup, but after a group vote, it was decided that they would just eat in for tonight.

After a quick chatting session on just what to have for dinner tonight, the consensus ended up being chicken stir-fry, of which Rana, Ticy, Chiffon, and Kaho would help to prepare in order for dinner to be ready sooner than later.  The more help there was, the less work per person that was required to be tended to.  That left everyone else to whatever tasks they would engage in up until it was time to eat.

Creo, Ingrid, Attia, and Arnett decided to hit the indoor gym for a brief workout session until dinner was ready.  The way they saw things, it would be ideal to work up an appetite before the meal was ready.  It was also important to keep their skills honed so that they could be prepared, both for the in-class training sessions that were to come in the future as well as sudden incidents like what happened with those three bullies earlier in the day.

And of course, a Pandora was expected to be in peak physical fighting form for whenever the next Nova Clash would end up inevitably occurring.  From a military standpoint, a good soldier is ALWAYS at the ready whenever trouble arrives.

That left Kazuya with Satellizer, Ganessa, and Elizabeth to go over the course material, with which they would assist their fellow Pandoras with after dinner should they have questions or something they didn’t quite understand.  Of course, given that it was introductory material, there wasn’t too much to fret over at this point.

So it was that the group sat around a table in the living room scrolling through the “meat and potatoes” of their class syllabuses for each of their periods.  During their introductory sessions, they were notified by each of their instructors that things could change rather suddenly as to what the material entailed, so the syllabus was a rather loose guide to go by (as odd as that might sound).

The group sat around the table with adequate space between all of them.  From Kazuya’s perspective, Elizabeth sat on his left, Satellizer on his right, and Ganessa across from him.  His eyes darted back-and-forth between the class material and the women before him.  He couldn’t help but reflect on the situation of things at that very moment.

‘In a way, it’s kind of funny,’ thought Kazuya as he suppressed the urge to chuckle.  ‘Right now I’m seated with three Pandoras who all hail from the United Kingdom.  While it has nothing to do with the course material, I almost feel the urge to ask them questions about their homeland, given the company I’m surrounded by.  I wonder if they all hail from the same region of the U.K.?  If I remember it right, there are four main regions of that country:  England, Scotland, Wales, and…what was the last one?  Some part of Ireland, right?  Western Ireland?  Northern Ireland?  Something like that.  Judging by their accents, I’m guessing that it’s either England or Wales.  From what I’ve heard, people from Scotland and Ireland have very distinct accents compared to the other parts of that country…but then again, I suppose they ALL have their own distinct accents when I think about it…”

Kazuya must have been deep in thought over a rather off-road topic during the group study session, because eventually a voice snapped him out of his daydreaming.

“Kazuya?  Kazuya?  Hello?  Earth to Kazuya!” declared Elizabeth as she leaned closer towards the Limiter.

A second later, Kazuya blinked rapidly and gently shook his head in a side-to-side motion to snap out of his daydreaming.  He then looked around the table at the small group before him, with all of them focused intently on him at that very moment.

“You okay, Kazuya?” asked Ganessa.  “You were zoning out on us for a while.”  The concern in her voice was apparent enough, which coming from someone like Ganessa (who liked to put up  a front of strong confidence) was kind of adorably charming in a way.

Both Elizabeth and Satellizer simply stared intently at Kazuya from his flanks, with Satellizer’s gaze being very intent, if the worry on her face was anything to go by.  Elizabeth certainly showed it as well, but to put things comparatively, on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of openly showing concern on one’s face (1 being no concern at all and 10 being full-blown worry), Elizabeth was sporting something around a 5, Ganessa a 6, and Satellizer was at LEAST an 8 if not a 9.

“Y-yeah, I’m fine,” replied Kazuya.  “Sorry I worried you all.  I was just wondering about something totally off topic.  Guess I zoned out longer than I thought.”

“What were you thinking about?” asked Ganessa.

“Nothing,” dismissed Kazuya.  “Just something dumb, it’s not worth bringing up.”

“I want to hear what you were thinking about just now,” Elizabeth gently stated as she reached her hand across and placed her large right hand upon Kazuya’s comparatively smaller left hand, covering it entirely.  Her touch was surprisingly quite soft and warm, which was remarkable given that she could almost undoubtedly crush Kazuya’s wrist at that very moment or even rip his arm out of his socket if she so desired.  Yet her touch conveyed nothing but warmth and the  utmost gentleness, as did the look of kind insistence in her eyes.

These gestures from Elizabeth were mirrored by Satellizer, who placed her left hand upon Kazuya’s right hand (swallowing it completely) and gazing into his face as she leaned in and stared intently from behind her large-framed glasses (while bringing her substantial chest closer towards him in the process and having her bosom dangle like a pair of watermelons all the while).

“I…would also like to hear about what you were thinking of just now,” said Satellizer in that adorably semi-nervous tone of voice of hers.  The change in the younger L. Bridget sister’s behavior was REALLY something.  Earlier when Miyabi was getting ready to make a move on Kazuya, the look on Satellizer’s face back then was like a stone-cold warrior ready to engage in a fight to the death.  But now, the same girl had his super-delicate look bordering on pleading before the Limiter who sat before her, about as shy and cutesy as one could envision.  This woman’s demeanor apparently flipped like a coin depending on the circumstances:  If it involved Kazuya being in danger, she was like a mother lion on steroids defending her cub, but if it involved spending moments of intimacy with Kazuya, she was as gentle as a newborn lamb.

“Well, alright then,” replied Kazuya after taking in the gazes of all three Pandoras.  “It’s kind of silly, but since all three of you are gathered here, I was thinking about asking all of you about your homeland - the U.K. I mean - and anything about it that sticks out.  After all, you all hail from that country, right?  So it just crossed my mind out of curiosity.  Sorry if that sounds kind of weird.”  Kazuya simply couldn’t help but feel a little awkward about the topic.

Upon hearing his explanation, all three Pandoras broke out in a fit of chuckling, finding his apology rather comical.  After a good ten seconds of modest laughter, Elizabeth leaned towards Kazuya and spoke once more.

“Kazuya, there’s no need to apologize, least of all for simply wanting to know more about your partners.  What’s the harm in wanting to get to know us better?  Am I right in that supposition, ladies?” Elizabeth said, turning towards both Satellizer and Ganessa as the words left her mouth.

“I’d concur with that statement, Elizabeth,” said Ganessa wholeheartedly.

“Me too,” replied Satellizer.

“So then, what would you like to know about us or about the U.K. in general, Kazuya?” asked Elizabeth with a warm-hearted grin.

So for the next hour or so, the topic of discussion went from classroom material to an abridged general layout of the history and culture of the United Kingdom.  They Pandoras talked about the most notable buildings in British history such as the clocktower of Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Tower Bridge, and Stonehenge.  They briefly touched on the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and how William “the Conqueror” led the Normans to defeat the Saxons and claim the throne of England.  They discussed the more notable houses of English/British royalty - among them Tudor, Stuart, Hanover, and Windsor - as well as the more famous monarchs through English/British history (notably King Richard “the Lionheart,” King Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria, and Queen Elizabeth II).  There was talk of British history during the two world wars and in the years afterwards, all the way up to the period of the First Nova Clash.  During that whole time, Kazuya was bombarded with so much information about all things related to English/British history from these three lovely ladies (with Elizabeth and Ganessa doing the lion’s share of the talking, though Satellizer piped in every now and then).

“That’s all well and good,” replied Kazuya as he soaked in all this info, “but I also wanted to know about all of YOU as well as where you hail from.  Things like what your childhoods were like before becoming Pandora, families back home, any friends you still have back in the UK, that sort of stuff.”

Once again, the topic shifted from an overarching narrative on all things British to more personal topics regarding hobbies, friends and family, and early childhoods among the three British beauties.

Given that all three young women grew up among prestigious families, there were some commonalities among the lot of them.  Topics like private tutors, horseback-riding lessons, fancy dinners among the political and financial elites of the world, lessons on what constituted “lady-like” etiquette, immaculately fashionable dresses, trips to family vacation homes, and lessons on playing instruments like the piano, violin, or harp.  Since the Roland, Mably, and Bridget families were all well-known in both the UK and abroad (the latter two families especially), there were expectations placed among all three women on how to act with the utmost of dignity and poise among society.  Given their family names, each and every one of them had the duty/burden of conveying the utmost of feminine grace and humbleness when in the presence of others, especially among those with status and power.

One key difference that Kazuya noted was that while Elizabeth and Ganessa were born into such lives of prestige and privilege, the same could not be said for Satellizer.  It was during her early childhood years that she was brought into the L. Bridget Family…as the offspring between the matriarch of the family (Howard L. Bridget) and his mistress.

To put things bluntly, Satellizer L. Bridget - from the perspective of high society - was the bastard daughter of the L. Bridget Family, which made her ‘persona non grata’ in the eyes of her adoptive family and in the whispered backroom talk of Britain’s elite classes.

Hearing this made Kazuya’s heart sink in his chest.  Here was this young woman with a heart as delicate and pure as he could possibly fathom, and she was vilified in her formative childhood years for the crime of simply being born.  Both her (and her biological mother - Noelle Alongrutch) were despised among the family that took them in for something which her father was largely responsible for.  As he listened, he learned that both Satellizer’s step-mother and step-brother were far from kind or considerate towards her during those early years.

Satellizer’s step-brother (Louis) was particularly abusive towards her - both physically and emotionally to her during those days.  She was reluctant to go into the vivid details from back then, but she really didn’t need to.  Her facial reactions and the breaking tone of her voice said enough.

Hearing enough, Kazuya simply couldn’t help but hop out of his seat, climb up over the tabletop , and make his way across the table until he was facing Satellizer.  She simply stared dumbfounded at the Limiter (as did both Elizabeth and Ganessa), before speaking.

“Kazuya?  What are you doing?” asked Satellizer.

The Limiter simply responded by leaning forward so that his arms were wrapped around Satellizer’s neck and his torso was pressed against her bosom as he leaned against her.  He was hoping that he wasn’t too heavy of a load pressing against her, given her overall size and her physical abilities as a Pandora.  From what he could tell, it was a safe assumption to make, as there was no physical exertion or wheezing on Satellizer’s part when his body fell against hers.

“I’m sorry,” muttered Kazuya at little more than a whisper.  “I’m so sorry that you had to endure what you did back then.  You and your mother had to suffer that kind of indignity.  What kind of family punishes a child for simply existing?  All because of her father’s proclivities!?  Hearing that just makes me…makes me…”  At this point, Kazuya was shivering with barely contained rage, especially after hearing what little Satellier would sparse out regarding what her brother did to her back in those days.

Surprisingly enough, Satellizer found herself being enveloped in a group hug, with both Ganessa and Elizabeth getting out of their seats and wrapping their arms around her (Elizabeth on Satellizer’s left and Ganessa on her right).  With Kazuya pressed against her front and the other two Pandora’s wrapping her around her sides, the one known as the “Untouchable Queen” as her battle moniker at West Genetics was failing spectacularly at living up to her title.

“I too am sorry about what you had to endure, Satellizer,” stated Elizabeth.  “If I had known back then what had happened to you, I would have pressed my father to intervene…to protect you from that kind of abuse.  Kazuya is right.  No child should have to endure that kind of treatment, whether she was born out of wedlock or not.  That kind of thing goes against what it means to act as a noble.”

“Elizabeth’s right,” added Ganessa.  “What they did to you…that’s just messed up.  I’m not great at giving long speeches on this kind of thing, and I won’t pretend to know what you went through back then.  All I can say is that I’m here for you, if you want somebody to talk to about that kind of stuff…even just a shoulder to cry on.”

Satellizer simply sat there for a moment, like a deer in the headlights as she found herself being sandwiched by the three-way lovefest in the form of a group hug.  After a few seconds of registering just what was happening, she felt the sting of tears forming in her eyes, but if anything, those tears were more of joy than of sadness over what she was experiencing.  Though it was emotionally painful to end up reliving parts of her past, the sadness she experienced from her walk down memory lane was overpowered by the lightheartedness she felt knowing that members of the family which she was now part of were there for her in times of emotional tumult.  It made her so happy that she simply responded by wrapping her arms around Kazuya and holding him tightly against her, pressing her large bosom against his frame  and causing it to squish slightly as her soft mammaries pressed more and more against the young man.

“Thank you,” whispered Satellizer in response, “all of you, really…from the bottom of my heart, thank you.”  The blonde-haired beauty simply basked in the moment of the hug, letting the collective body warmth calm her down as she relished in the big group embrace of the moment.

“But I don’t want all of you to feel TOO bad for me, even after hearing all of that,” elaborated Satellizer.  “My big sister, Violet, was nothing but kind to me during those years.  She was always there for me to rely on when things got tough.  In fact…well…”  Satellizer trailed off briefly before going into a more serious story regarding when Violet stepped in to help Satellizer when she was being bullied by her brother.

One night when she was still very young (9 or 10 years old from what Satellizer could recall, the trauma of it made her exact recollection somewhat fuzzy), her brother Louis had cornered Satellizer in her bedroom and was prepared to assault her to the point of outright sexual violation.  After feeling her up for a few minutes (and threatening to have both her and her birth mother expelled from their house if she ever told anybody), Louis was getting ready to practically go “all the way” and explore Sateliizer’s maidenhood.

It was at that very moment that Violet entered the room, saw what was happening, and immediately slapped Louis hard across the cheek, screaming “What the hell are you doing!?”  Before he could get more than a few words in, Violet took it upon herself to throw her younger brother over her knee, rip his pants down, and proceed to spank his bare ass for a good three minutes straight, shouting how what he had done was completely unacceptable.

When the spanking session was over, Violet took Satellizer into her arms and embraced her for all she was worth, telling her to always come running to her if ever she was in trouble ever again, especially when it came to a member of the L. Bridget Family.

This ended up putting her at odds with both her own mother (Olivia L. Bridget) and Louis, but as far as Violet was concerned, both Satellizer and her mother were family and were to be treated as such.  Fortunately for Violet, she had a good hold on her father’s ear (figuratively speaking) and always stood up for both Satellizer and her mother, who Violet came to love as a second mother in her own right.

With the power dynamic shifting as such, over time, Violet L. Bridget began to put both her own mother and her brother in their place and made them back down from attacking both Satellizer and Noelle.  While Violet was normally rather cheery and dripping with warmth and compassion in public, she wasn’t afraid to put her foot down and snuff out any criticism or debasement of either her step-sister or step-mother, not even from members of her own family.

It helped with her making the case all the more once she underwent Pandorification.  After all, how many people are willing to butt heads with somebody who grows to a height of 11’2” and weighs in at around half a ton?  And that’s NOT including the physical improvements with regards to strength, speed, endurance, and everything else.

Put simply, Violet definitely emphasized her role as Satellizer’s BIG sister once she became a Pandora back in those days.

As a silver lining, once Violet had put both Olivia and Louis in their places and made them back down from besmirching or intimidating both Satellizer and her mother, she then worked to reconcile bringing everyone together.  The older L. Bridget sister had taken it upon herself to serve as peacemaker and have everyone in the family come to love one another genuinely, with assistance from her father, given that Howard felt largely responsible for things turning out the way that they did.

It wasn’t easy, and it took years to mend things, but eventually Howard L. Bridget sought his first wife’s forgiveness for his act of infidelity, while at the same time pleading with her not to take her anger out on either Noelle or her daughter.

“If you want to hate anybody over this, then put all of it on me,” were Howard’s words to both his wife and son.

Eventually, to the surprise of many, Olivia L. Bridget forgave her husband to the best of her ability.  While she could never forget the events that transpired which led to the mistress and her daughter moving in, over time she found the maturity to not become consumed with vindictiveness over her husband’s act of sexual betrayal, especially when the woman he was having the affair with was such a gentle soul and with a weak constitution to boot.

To everyone’s surprise, Olivia told her husband to take responsibility…by making Noelle his second wife and having both her and Satellizer formally take the L. Bridget name, making them formal members of the family.  That was quite the character change from the woman, who just a few years earlier had nothing but hatred and bitterness towards the mistress and her daughter.  When concerns of how broader upper class society would respond to the idea of outright bigamy coming from the patriarch of the L. Bridget Family, Olivia simply replied with such:

“What goes on in my family is my family’s business and nobody else’s.  People are free to have their opinions about this relationship, and that’s where the line is drawn as far as I’m concerned.  If they cannot accept that I now have both a husband AND a wife whom I love the both of them with all my heart, then they are free to disassociate from us if they so choose.”

And so by the time Satellizer was on her way to becoming a Pandora herself, her family life had transformed from that of a shame-filled semi-nightmare to one of reconciliation and closure, with both her father and her big sister doing everything in their power to make things right.  After profuse apologies from both Olivia and especially from Louis in the subsequent years, Satellizer had come to forgive the two of them, not wanting for there to be any further animosity between them.  As far as both she (and her mother) were concerned, they simply wanted to move forward with hope for the future, not dwell on painful memories of the past.

In a real character twist, Olivia had come to love Noelle just as much as Howard had come to love her in the romantic sense.  By the time Satellizer had entered her freshman year as a Pandora, the L. Bridget patriarch and his two wives (Noelle being formally married to him, despite the objections from the powers-that-be in high society Britain and elsewhere) had really formed an outright “menage a trois” wherever they were seen…and certainly in the bedroom.  In fact, Olivia outright demanded that Noelle join her and Howard whenever they were “in the mood,” even going so far as to say no to bedroom activities if Noelle was either absent or not feeling well enough to engage in the act of lovemaking.

“So you see,” said Satellizer, “while things were hard for me at first, they’ve taken a turn for the better over time, largely thanks to Violet.  I owe her so much for being there for me when I really needed somebody in those times, especially when my mother was feeling very ill a lot of the time.  But after all the trials and tribulations, I went from having one mother to two mothers now, along with a father and siblings of my own.  There was also Holly who helped me from time to time back then.”

“Holly?” asked Kazuya

“Holly Rose,” explained Satellizer.  “She’s a fellow Pandora.  If I remember right, she’s the top-ranked third-year Pandora at Genetics UK.”

“Indeed she is,” stated Elizabeth.  “I know her by reputation.  A remarkable young woman with smarts, beauty, and grace in plentiful amounts.  She’s also one of the top-ranked third-year Pandoras on the global stage, in the top 10 I believe.  You knew her growing up, Satellizer?”

“A few years after being taken into the L. Bridget Family,” replied Satellizer.  “She’s the daughter of one of my father’s business partners, so we ended up becoming acquainted and hitting it off really well.  She was also there to help keep an eye on my brother back when things weren’t so well between us.  She really admired Violet and wanted to follow in her footsteps and become a Pandora as well.  The rest, as they say, is history.”

“Well now,” replied Kazuya, still propped up against Satellizer’s torso/bosom with his arms hugging her neck, “that was quite a lot to take in.  I’m just glad that things improved over time thanks to your father and sister.  I’m still upset that you had to endure all of that turmoil, especially from your brother and all, but-”

Before Kazuya could get another word in, Satellizer L. Bridget simply leaned forward and silenced him with a particularly sensual French kiss, moaning as she invaded his mouth and filled the entirety of it with her tongue.  If there was one thing which Kazuya was picking up on REALLY fast at this point, it was that Pandoras really, REALLY liked kissing their Limiters whenever the opportunity presented itself (the vast majority of  times with their tongues involved in the act).

Once the makeout session died down, Satellizer simply looked into Kazuya’s eyes with a particularly dreamy glow on her face as she gazed upon the Limiter she held in her arms against her bosom.

“You really are sweet, you know that?” stated Satellizer at little more than a whisper.  “I’m so glad that I paired up with you, especially with the way you make my heart flutter.  It just drives me crazy with happiness that I…I just…”  Satellizer simply couldn’t put her feelings into words, given her state of emotional euphoria, so she settled for another kiss, which Kazuya simply returned with earnest compassion.

“You really ARE a little charmer, aren’t you, Kazuya?” stated Elizabeth with a grin at the sight before her, feeling just a tad jealous (along with Ganessa) at the affection Satellizer was getting at that moment.  “Keep things up at this rate, and you’ll end up being married before you finish your freshman year.”  While the statement was made in teasing jest, there was a nugget of truth in there, if Kazuya’s progress with Satellizer was anything to go by.

The Untouchable Queen was clearly smitten with the Freshman Limiter.  It was just a matter of when exactly the two would hit it off with a formal Baptism or something more “intimate” and away from prying eyes, like say…in the bedroom.

“Anyway,” resumed Satellizer, “we should get going.  I get the feeling that dinner should be ready by now, so let’s call it a night as far as studying goes and go join the others.  Don’t want to make them wonder what we’re up to.”  Satellizer then proceeded to make her way with Kazuya in her arms towards the dining room.

“Oh, I think they’ll probably put two and two together as to what’ll be taking us so long,” replied Ganessa with a smirk.  “They’ll either think something serious happened to one of us - the most likely person being Kazuya - or they’ll figure that one of us wants to have some “quality time”...also with Kazuya.”  The tone in Ganessa’s voice was only too apparent as to what she was implying.

“That’s a fair assessment,” chuckled Elizabeth in agreement.

“Alright, point made,” replied Satellizer with a sigh as she carried Kazuya firmly against her, making sure his head was nestled snugly against her bosom all the while.  The reasoning for this was twofold: (1) Satellizer was hoping that the act of outright smothering Kazuya was getting a rise out of him…which it was (as much as he tried to hide it), and (2) The most sensitive part of Satellizer’s whole body was indeed her breasts, and therefore having someone who she treasured quite dearly pressed up against her massive melons was putting both her mind at peace while getting her libido roaring like a furnace on full blast.

If only Kazuya knew just how badly Satellizer wanted to disrobe (either via stripping or disengaging her Volt Texture) and have him deflower her right there and then, regardless of whether or not they had been formally baptized.  It was clear enough to the other two Pandoras that Satellizer L. Bridget was completely smitten with Kazuya Aoi at this point, and it took all her composure and restraint to not simply give in to her baser desires and get lost in the reveries of teenage hormonally-driven passions.

“Give it time, Satella,” whispered Elizabeth in her fellow Pandora’s ear.  “I know you’re rather hungry for some good, quality loving…we pretty much ALL are.  But all good things come to those who wait.  And besides, there are more ladies to factor into this, after all.  You DO remember what Miss Yu-Mi told us earlier today, right?”

“I know,” groaned Satellizer, who was clearly a bit deflated at the prospect of more rivals for the Limiter’s love and attention.  While she WAS enraptured at the idea of being part of one very big, very loving family of “Big Sisters” who collectively watched over and intimately expressed their love to their “Little Brother,” she was also cognizant of the fact that the more members of Kazuya’s harem-to-be meant that there would be more competition, even if it would end up being among those she loved and cared for with the same affection as she had for her older sister.  It was quite the catch-22 from Satellizer’s perspective (and most likely from the majority of the other Pandoras in this relationship).

A moment later, Satellizer and the others had made their way into the dining room to join all the other Pandoras, who indeed were all gathered around the table and digging into the freshly-made stir-fry, which looked mouthwateringly delectable.  Chiffon’s group had just finished cleaning up the kitchen area and had laid out the plates and silverware while the girls who worked in the gymnasium area had briefly freshened up to get the sweat and workout-related BO off of them (figuring they would all have their big group bathing session after dinner, which they all agreed would be a normal nightly occurrence).

“So, did you girls have a good study session?” asked Chiffon as everybody started digging in and feasting on the evening meal.

“You could say that,” replied Elizabeth with a grin as she glanced over to Kazuya, who at this point was sitting in Satellizer’s lap during the entire meal.  Obviously the “Untouchable Queen” wasn’t in any rush to hand him over to another Pandora right at that moment, not after the way Kazuya had verbally swept her off her feet with his kind words and infectious sweetness.  Satellizer had pretty much made it clear that for the duration of dinner for tonight, Kazuya’s seat was to be Satellizer herself, with the blonde Pandora feeling him up against her body (and especially her bosom) for as much as was possible for that night.
