Kazuya walked into the main entrance hall of the complex and was greeted by quite the plethora of newly arrived guests.  It was certainly a smart move to order two dozen pizzas, given the amount of company had ended up arriving.  Of course, it was to be somewhat expected, given the number of Pandoras Kazuya ended up being partnered with.  Aside from Kaho (her being the sole freshman Pandora) it was quite feasible that as many as ten Limiters would be arriving tonight at the complex.*

*As a reminder, the five latest Pandoras added to Kazuya's harem came from seperate Genetics facilities.  Therefore, assuming that all of them were partnered up with Limiters prior to pairing up with Kazuya, that would be five separate Limiters whom Kazuya would have a face-to-face with later, most likely in the form of a long-distance facetime video chat.

As he perused the floor, Kazuya was slightly surprised to find slightly fewer Limiters than what he was expecting.  His eyes darting from one Limiter to the next, he ended up totalling nine Limiters altogether.

‘I suppose that’s feasible,’ thought Kazuya.  ‘It’s possible that some of my partners were formally paired up with the same Limiter after all.  It may very well be that I ended up taking two Pandoras from the same clique with this little changeover in partnerships.  If that ends up being the case, then I’m gonna have to apologize extra hard to whomever I’ve ended up slighting in the process.’

Scanning over the other men, Kazuya couldn’t help but notice that one of them came off as rather familiar.  While he wore the same standard Genetics-styled school uniform that all Limiters wore on school grounds, his face brought forth a mild sense of deja vu, even if the two had not been formally introduced.

As Kazuya made eye contact with this person, he couldn’t help but instinctively speak his mind with one word:  “You?”

The individual he spoke to was caucasian by his ethnic background, had short brown hair, bluish-gray eyes, light stubble all along the lower half of his face (indicating regular beard growth), and a somewhat introverted look by his nature.  He simply cracked a smile (if perhaps a little forced on his part) and replied in turn.

“Hey there,” said the Limiter called out by Kazuya.

“Michael,” said one of the other Limiters, “have you two already met?”

“In a way, yeah,” replied Michael.  “We kinda ran into each other some time back during that bullying incident.”

“The one where you almost got your neck snapped by that psycho Pandora?” asked another Limiter incredulously.

“That would be the one,” chuckled Michael with a hint of subdued sarcasm.

“I’m surprised you’re so lackadaisical about that whole thing,” said another Limiter.  “She could have killed you, you know.”

“I know,” replied Michael.  “I’m sure if she thought she could get away with it, she might have been tempted to try pulling it off too.  But trying that sort of thing during daylight hours in the middle of campus grounds…I don’t know, I think she was probably gauging the situation and figuring out how far she could take things without getting in too much trouble.  She seemed like the type that just likes to flaunt her power and intimidate others as much as possible.”

“I heard she ended up getting time in the brig,” said another Limiter.  “If you ask me, they should have expelled her and removed her stigmata at a bare minimum.  Somebody like that is too dangerous to be allowed to stay on as a Pandora.  She’s likely to go berserk and take things too far one day.”

“It’s possible, I suppose,” said Michael.  “Might be that she has powerful friends high up within Chevalier, and as long as she doesn’t outright kill anybody, then they’ve got her back.  But let’s not dwell too much on past events.  We’re here for a different reason, after all.”

“Even so, I DO feel really bad about what happened to you,” said Kazuya.  “I just wish we could have stepped in sooner and kept that whole situation from going as far as it ended up getting.”

“Why apologize?” countered Michael.  “You’re not responsible for what happened, and you’re not some kind of superhero who can just fly in and save the day, unless I’m mistaken on that assumption, am I?”

“N-no, I’m nothing like that,” said Kazuya, surprised a bit by the somewhat upbeat tone in Michael’s voice.  The guy had a habit of trying to lax things over with a touch of comedy from what Kazuya could tell.

“So don’t go beating yourself up over what happened then,” said Michael.  He then stepped forward and offered his right hand out, palm open and fingers extended straight.  “Since this is our first formal meeting then:  Michael McCall, 2nd-year Limiter at West Genetics.”  It was apparent enough that Michael was offering a handshake, so Kazuya returned the gesture.

“Kazuya Aoi, 1st-year Limiter.  Nice to meet you…all of you, of course,” said Kazuya to the entire gathering of Limiters.

A few minutes passed getting all of the names and introductions out of the way between all of the Limiters.  In that time, Kazuya learned (surprisingly enough) that not all of the Limiters who were there were previously partnered up with the Pandoras who were now paired up with Kazuya.  Their stats were as follows:

• Andre (2nd-year) - formerly with Elizabeth

• Eugene (2nd-year) - formerly with Chiffon

• Leo (2nd-year) - formerly with Ingrid

• Goro (2nd-year) - formerly with Creo

• Mark (2nd-year) - formerly with Attia

• Morrison (2nd-year) - formerly with Arnett

• Abel (2nd-year) - formerly with Ticy

• Arthur (2nd-year*) - formerly with Ganessa

• Michael (2nd-year) - not formerly partnered with any of Kazuya’s Pandoras

[*I decided to make Arthur Crypton a 2nd-year Limiter instead of a freshman like Kazuya; this is a fanfiction after all.  As for physical descriptions on each of them, please consult the Freezing wiki for those who are curious as to what they look like.]

“W-wait, what?” asked Kazuya.  “You’re not a former partner to Satellizer or Rana, Michael?”

“That’s right,” the young man calmly replied.

“So then, what made you come here, if you don’t mind my asking?  Not that I’m upset at your arrival, don’t misunderstand.” said Kazuya, slightly embarrassed and not wanting to offend the guy.

“It’s alright,” chuckled Michael in response.  “To be honest, I felt that I had no business showing up here tonight, given that you wanted a little heart-to-heart with the former Limiters of your current partners.  But surprisingly enough, a lot of the guys here insisted that I come along on this little sit-down and give you some perspective on things related to your current partnership arrangements and all that.”

“Really?” asked a somewhat confused Kazuya as his vision went between Michael and the other Limiters.

“It was mainly Eugene, Arthur, and Andre who were twisting my arm - figuratively speaking, of course - into coming along here and joining in on this whole shebang.” stated Michael.  “Isn’t that right, guys?”  He turned and focused on the three Limiters he called out by name.

“Awww come on,” replied Arthur.  “I mean, you DID technically make Kazuya’s acquaintance previously, though I admit it was under less than ideal circumstances at the time.  But even so, you’re not really strangers when you look at it like that.”

“That’s a bit of a stretch in justifying your rationale,” teased Michael, “almost as stretched as my neck from that day.”

“You have quite the morbid sense of humor at times, you know that, Michael?” countered Andre to Michael’s quip.

“Oh come off it “Mr. Pretty Boy,” with the snappy repartee and all that,” replied Michael with his somewhat easygoing tone of voice.

Given the sense of gentlemanly refinement he seemed to exude along with the (admittedly) dashing good looks he had - and the fact that he was paired up with Elizabeth once upon a time - it was kind of understandable why Michael would refer to Andre as “Pretty Boy” in teasing jest.  At least, that’s how Kazuya analyzed the situation anyway.

“Now now, fellas,” replied Eugene.  “A little verbal tit-for-tat is all well and good I suppose, but let’s not get carried away in smack-talking now, shall we?  That’s not the reason we’re here, after all.”  Given that he was paired up with Chiffon, it was somewhat fitting that Eugene would act as something of a diplomat and try to keep things both on course and civil.  “In any case, Michael, we figured you needed to get out more and spend some time with the guys.”

“I don’t mind cutting loose with the guys and all,” replied Michael, “but YOU try doing that sort of thing when your partners go all ‘Mother Hen’ on you after one of the school bullies decides to test the durability of your neck.  Ever since then, they’ve pretty much had their eyes on me like hawks.  Not that I don’t appreciate the guardian angel role of course, dear Kassandra.”

At that point, Michael (and several of the others) turned their attention towards the Pandora with chocolate brown hair styled up in a long braid resting over her left side (similar to Rana’s for comparison), brown eyes, and a somewhat muscular build (similar to Creo’s).  The whole time, she stood on guard duty no more than a few feet away from Michael all the while.  From what Kazuya remembered, she was one of the Pandoras who arrived on scene that day as the bullies were being escorted away.

“Nice save there,” replied Kassandra with a grin as she gazed down at Michael, commenting on the compliment he threw out at the end of his little critique of being under close watch by his partners (especially Kassandra out of all of them).

“Anyway,” continued Michael, “we’re all here now and we might as well address these concerns that our host has regarding his current partnership arrangement and whatever guilt he’s apparently feeling over it, if I understand the situation correctly?”

Kazuya simply nodded in response.

“But before we get down to brass tacks and all that, I believe there was mention about ordering in for dinner?” inquired Michael.

As if on cue, the doorbell rang once again, and Chiffon politely made her way through the crowd towards the front door.  Sure enough the food had arrived, with the delivery man staring up at the student council president (her torso still wrapped in a towel, which probably made the guy’s heart skip a beat at such an alluring sight).

“Umm, order for delivery?” asked the delivery man.  “Two dozen pizzas sound right?”

“Why yes it is!” chimed Chiffon in her usual friendly and upbeat tone of voice.  “Thank you so much for making it all the way out here.  Hold on, let me get someone to help you.”  With that, Chiffon made her way back inside and pressed a button on the intercom by the front door to address all the residents within the mansion.

“Ladies,” stated Chiffon clearly and succinctly, “dinner has arrived.  So could you all start making your way towards the entrance hall and help out with setting the table along with bringing in the pizzas?  Also, our guests have arrived, so make sure you’re all dressed appropriately.”

“Scuse me there, fellas,” said Roxanne as she walked through the group towards the front door.  “Lemee give you a hand there with those, little guy.”  The pinkette said with a wink and a grin to the delivery man as she made her way towards his vehicle (designed to accommodate Pandoras in terms of scale and carrying a whole heaping lot of pizzas in the back end of it).

“S-sure thing, ma’am,” said the delivery guy, his heart rate picking up at the sight of this young woman with sinful curves, thick thighs and a particularly bodacious bosom sauntering her way towards his car.

Minutes later, the other Pandoras within Kazuya’s group had assembled within the entrance hall, helping to bring in the pizzas (obviously being too large for the Limiters to carry in normally) as well as helping to pull out numerous plates and drinking cups for the massive assembly that had gathered within the complex.

“Here you go,” said Chiffon to the delivery man, holding out a handful of currency to the deliveryman as the last of the pizzas were brought in.

“Oh no need, ma’am,” he replied.  “The charge comes out of your student food budget, so there’s no need to pay cash.  Otherwise, you’d end up getting charged twice in the process.”  The man finished with a chuckle.

“I know that,” replied Chiffon with her own bubbly chuckle.  “This is your tip, silly.”

The driver took the money offered and quickly counted over it, his eyes widening in the process.

“M-miss,” he stammered, “I’m not sure I can take this much money from you.  Even with the number of pizzas and soda bottles delivered, this much is…well, rather generous for a tip amount.  I could go grab my calculator to confirm, but this much money…it looks to be at least,” he flipped through the bills once more to double-check the amount, “fifty percent of the whole bill!”

“Please, take it,” said Chiffon with her usual disarming friendliness.  “We really do appreciate the speediness of your arrival, given the circumstances.  Go buy yourself something nice with that.  Now drive safe and have a good night.  Thanks again!”

Closing the door, Chiffon returned to the assemblage of guests who had formed with the larger group of the mansion’s current residents.  If one were a fly on the ceiling looking down at everyone gathered, the math would be as such:  17 current residents (Kazuya and his harem-in-the-making) + 9 Limiters visiting + 9 Pandoras serving as chaperones (assuming one Pandora per newly-arrived Limiter, most assuredly partnered up with him) = 35 persons in total.

‘Definitely a smart move to order as many pizzas as we did,’ thought Kazuya.  ‘I’d be surprised if there ends up being any leftovers after tonight.’

He was also feeling a touch of relief that for the first time in a while he wasn’t in a room where literally EVERY Pandora was partnered up with him.  It made him feel a little less pressure at being the sole object of affection in a sea of female company.

Once the pizzas had been laid out within both the kitchen and dining area, the Limiters and their chaperones were offered their share of the bounty.  It was a good thing that there was quite the selection of pizzas to pick from (just cheese, just pepperoni, meat lovers, and vegetarian) so as to accommodate everyone’s taste preferences.  A few minutes passed with the food being handed out to each and every person getting his or her plate of the spoils and something to drink as well.

While that was going on, Kazuya turned to his partners and chose to address them.

“Ladies?” begna the Limiter.  And as if on cue (and to Kazuya’s slight shock at how fast and obediently they reacted), all sixteen of the Pandoras partnered up with him immediately went silent and focused intently on the young man, hanging on his every word.  The looks on their faces weren’t scary in the slightest (quite the opposite, they exuded only warmth mixed with  intense focus and care), it was simply how quick their reaction time was at something as simple as responding to Kazuya just speaking and nothing more.

“Since we’re all gathered here now, if any of you would like to have some one-on-one time with your part-...er, I mean your…former partners,” Kazuya couldn’t help but strain a bit and fight back the tears a smidgen at bringing up the fact that these lovely young women were now paired up with him and not their former Limiters.  He couldn’t help but feel like he was somehow gloating and rubbing it in the faces of the other guys.

‘Keep it together, man,’ thought Kazuya to himself, mustering up his resolve to not break down and sob again, especially in front of such a large gathering.

“Sorry,” said Kazuya as he wiped a small tear from his eye.  “If any of you wish to reconnect and have some quality time with our guests, please feel free to do so.  It’s the least I owe both to you and to them.”

The sincerity in Kazuya’s voice was all too apparent, if the looks on several of his Pandoras’ faces were any indicator of just how touched they were at his act of trying to do right by them, even if he had done nothing wrong at all.  Arnett, Creo, and Ingrid were forming particularly distinct blushes on their cheeks at his offer to them.  In fact, Arnett sauntered up towards Kazuya, got down on one knee, and leaned in while whispering something that only he could hear.

“You keep up being this sweet, and you’re not going to get any bedrest tonight, you understand?”  The mock question/threat was obvious enough for Kazuya to read in Arnett’s voice, showing that it touched her heart that Kazuya wanted to try and do something nice for her by suggesting she have some time to catch up with her former Limiter for a little bit.  She followed up her question with a quick smooch on Kazuya’s cheek before eventually standing upright once more and shooting him a sexy little wink before heading off towards her former partner (Morrison).

Kazuya couldn’t help but feel an anime-style sweatdrop form at the 2nd part of what Arnett said also, about “not get[ting] any bedrest tonight,” and what she was implying.  It was clear enough to understand that while Kazuya might be “in bed” by night’s end, he might not be “sleeping” in the traditional sense of the word, but “sleeping with” the realm of sexual innuendo, as it were.

“Alright then,” said Chiffon.  “Since Kazuya has made his wishes known, then what say we catch up for a little bit as he asked?”  Chiffon turned her gaze briefly to her former partner Eugene and gave him an extra bubbly smile, which he returned with his own heartwarming smile as he stared back up at her.  “But let’s not take too long with reminiscing, shall we?”

“Sound point, Chiffon,” added Ticy.  “Let’s try to keep this at…let’s say no more than thirty minutes between us and the other guys.  Afterwards, they all head towards one of the lounge rooms and have their little “guys night” between them and Kazuya.  Does that sound fair, ladies?”

“Sounds good to me,” replied Eliazabeth.

The sentiment was shared among the other Pandoras whose former Limiters had arrived that night, with a mix of grins, head nodding, and short verbal responses.  With that, the guest Limiters had made their way off with both their former Pandora partners and their current Pandora partners/chaperones to various parts of the house for some quality private time for the next half hour.

That left Kazuya in the entrance hall along with Satellizer, Rana, Kaho, Michael, Kassandra, and the five latest members of Kazuya’s harem (given that their former Limiters were stationed at other Genetics facilities, most of them overseas).

“Wait?” asked a somewhat confused Kazuya.  “Satellizer?  Rana?  Did your former partner not show up tonight?”  He turned quickly towards Michael to confirm if the young man was indeed not partnered up with either of the two Pandoras he just spoke to.  The young man simply shook his head side to side, indicating “No, they’re not my former partners.”

“Kazuya,” said Rana, “the thing is…Satellizer and I…we’ve never really partnered up with anyone else before meeting you.”

“R-really?” asked a rather surprised Kazuya as he looked up at the two of them.  Satellizer simply blushed and nodded in agreement with both Rana’s statement and Kazuya’s bewildered question.

“It’s true,” said Satellizer quietly.  “W-well, there was one guy who tried to partner up with me back at East Genetics, during my freshman year there…but…well…”

“But?” asked a confused Kazuya.

“It's a long story, that one, Kazuya,” Cassie spoke up on Satellizer’s behalf.  “I was there during that incident.  We can talk about it another time, but for now, I think it’s best that we don’t bring up the past over that whole thing.”

Reading the room and sensing the mood from Satellizer over the topic of discussion, Kazuya simply nodded in acquiescence, not wanting to emotionally disturb such a delicate flower as Satellizer tended to be (in terms of revisiting the past of course, not in her physical ability).

“Anyway,” said Roxanne, deciding to shift the conversation away from a rather serious and somewhat depressing topic, “what say we kill some time in the living room while the others are away doing their catching up and all that?  Whatcha say, Kazuya?”  The buxom beauty made her way closer and closer to Kazuya, getting ready to sweep the young man off his feet - quite literally - and snuggle him right up against her torso (probably with his head buried deep into her cleavage).  Hell, she probably wanted to pick up where they left off earlier with her and Satellizer on the couch during the movie earlier and spend some more quality time with things getting particularly hot and heavy.

Sure enough, Kazuya ended up being swept off his feet, but it wasn’t by Roxanne.  Nor was it by Satellizer or Rana, who would most likely be the next in line to make such a move.  Surprisingly enough, it ended up being Julia Munberk who managed to snatch up Kazuya in her embrace right there and then.

“Hey, come on now!” moaned Roxanne, a tiny bit miffed that somebody beat her to the punch and snatched up their collective partner like that.  She was also surprised that Julia would take the initiative, given her somewhat laid back and lackadaisical demeanor.

“What gives, Julia?” asked Roxanne, pouting a little at not being the one to cuddle up with Kazuya.

“Two things,” replied the blue-haired, amber-eyed beauty.  “First off, you’ve already had your share of Kazuya time on the couch during your little movie outing, so it’s only fair that somebody else gets a turn.”

“And the second?” inquired a curious Holly Rose at Julia’s explanation.

“The second, dear Holly,” continued Julia with a pervy grin of hers, “is simply because I feel like having my share of fun while the others are busy catching up with their former partners.  Figured that now’s a good time to get in on the action, only…”

“Only what?” asked Charles, wondering where Julia was going in her train of thought.

“I’m in the mood for some ‘Kazuya Time’ and all, but I’m rather greedy when it comes to ‘scratching the itch,’ so to speak.” stated Julia with a playful licking of her lips and a cat-like grin.

A second later - cradling Kazuya firmly against her torso/bosom with one arm- Julia had dashed across the room (using a basic Acceleration, so she was ‘only’ moving at 380mph and appeared right alongside Cassie Lockheart.  The green-haired “Godspeed of East Genetics” ended up being caught off guard as Julia used her free arm to sneak  around Cassie’s waistline and get a solid handful of one of her asscheeks, fingering the girl’s buttcrack ever so teasingly and getting a rather high-pitched “eep!” in response from her favorite female target of affection.

“Oh, how I’ve missed that cute little squeal of yours, Cassie,” sighed Julia.  “Along with the feel of your assets both up top and down below.”

“J-Julia!  What are you doing!?” said a more than flustered Cassie, by now sporting an all-powerful blush across much of her face (and getting the “Maverick of Walpurgis” more turned on and fired up in the process).

“Having some fun, of course,” replied Julia.  “Just wanted to indulge in my  share of ‘Kazuya Time’ as well as enjoy that same time with my favorite Pandora as well.  And besides, this way you get your share of ‘Kazuya Time’ as well in the process, so I see it as a ‘win-win’ for both our sakes.”

“Whatever your reasoning on that, could you please get your hand off of my ohhhh!” Cassie squealed at the end, as Julia gave her another playful squeeze on the girl’s buttcheek.

At least she was still wearing panties for the time being, but depending on how frisky Julia was going to end up getting, it was anybody’s guess as to whether they would remain over top of her buttocks.  Hell, Julia could end up literally TEARING them off, given the raw physical strength Pandoras had at their disposal.  Though Kazuya was betting that the German Pandora wouldn’t be so brazen as to disrobe someone in the presence of so many others, especially since there was a limited amount of time the group had between themselves before Kazuya’s little meeting with the other guys.

“Oh Cassie,” replied Julia, “you keep making those types of noises and I simply can’t help myself, you understand?  You really DO have the heart of a maiden, I must say.  The only others who strike me as being similar in way are probably Satellizer and Kaho.”  At this point, Julia turned her gaze to the two Pandoras she called out, and shot them both a wink, a smile, and teasing licking of her lips.  The implication was understood well enough, and made the two of them equally tense up a little bit at Julia’s playful ‘come hither’ style of teasing she shot at the two of them.

“Careful now, horndog,” said Charles.  “Don’t go getting carried away with your playfulness too much.  You’ve only a half hour before you have to hand over Kazuya, just in case you need a reminder.”

“Yeah, yeah,” grumbled Julia in response.  “I just figured that Cassie and I have some quality time with Kazuya in the living room, that’s all.  I promise no hanky-panky stuff…for tonight, anyway.”

“In any case, Julia, could you please let me go already?” asked Cassie (who was still ensnared by the woman’s arm around her waist and her hand on the girl’s buttcheek).

“Sorry, Cassie dear, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to say ‘overruled’ on that one,” replied Julia with her usual ‘naughty girl’ grin she shot back at the green-haired beauty.

Before Cassie could get another word in, she suddenly found herself being hoisted up and over Julia’s shoulder - with Julia using only one arm, given that her other arm was focused on securing Kazuya against her torso - with the blue-haired Pandora making her way towards the living room.  Everyone else in the group followed afterwards, with the other Pandoras (minus Kassandra) planning to keep an eye on Julia just to make sure she didn’t start engaging in bedroom-related activities in the living room in front of everyone else.

‘Well, I think I got my answer about how strong Pandoras can be,’ thought Kazuya, given that the woman currently carrying him against her hip was hauling another woman over her shoulder with relative ease.  It was as titillating and awe-inducing as it was frightening.  Kazuya figured that most Pandoras (or at least most 3rd-year Pandoras) could probably do things like twist steel, throw automobiles, rip apart battle tanks, leap tens of feet both vertically and horizontally with ease, and so many other feats of raw strength if they were required to do so.  Just another reminder of the mile-wide gap in physical power between Pandoras and the rest of humanity.

A moment later, Cassie Lockheart was deposited onto a couch, with Kazuya being placed onto her seconds later.  And afterwards, Julia descended on top of the two of them, effectively making Kazuya the meat in the sandwich that had formed between the three of them.  To her credit, Julia - much like Roxanne was earlier with Kazuya and Satellizer - had managed to distribute just enough of her body weight so as to securely pin Kazuya down without crushing him underneath her body.  After all, as fit of a build as she had (and pretty much ALL Pandoras had, more or less), Julia still weighed well over 900 pounds, which was certainly way more than what Kazuya’s frame could handle.  Once she had the Limiter securely trapped underneath her torso and bosom, Julia grinned at both Kazuya and Cassie, content that she had the two persons of her affection at her mercy.

“Now then,” said Julia, “where were we?”  She was clearly addressing both Kazuya and Cassie at this point.

For their part in all they had witnessed, the other Pandoras took a rather restrained approach surprisingly enough.  Satellizer had managed to hold back and keep from marching right up to the couch and throwing Julia off of Kazuya, though Rana might have served as a restraining force to keep the British Pandora from acting on sheer impulse.  Roxanne had also restrained herself from dong the same thing as Satellizer, partly because she admitted to herself that she DID have her share of “Kazuya Time’ with the Limiter recently, and also out of caution so as to not risk harming Kazuya if she were to take such a sudden and direct form of action.  Holly, Charles, and Kaho were simply spectating at this point, though if Kazuya ended up being harmed somehow, any (and all) of them would have jumped right in to check on their partner’s physical well-being right there and then.

For their part, Michael and Kassandra simply stood off to the side near the frame of the entranceway and took in the sight before them.  Figuring that it most likely wouldn’t be necessary to jump into such a playful bout of competition among Kazuya’s Pandoras over who got to be spoiled by the young man, Michael and his Pandora simply erred on caution and went into ‘standby mode,’ standing ready if something more serious should end up occurring in the moments to come.

“Julia,” stated Cassie (who was trying to collect herself and not be too flustered by Kazuya pressed up against her bosom), “by chance could you take it easy?  I think you’re making Kazuya a bit uncomfortable by being so…forward.  Would you agree with me on that, Kazuya?”  Cassie shot the Limiter a friendly look, trying to hide the awkwardness on her face at having the little guy sandwiched between her body and Julia’s on top.

“I wouldn’t necessarily disagree with that statement,” replied Kazuya, who for his part was praying that Cassie wasn’t being made extra uncomfortable for his part in all of this…given that he had a raging erection that was no doubt making itself known by poking into her abdomen at that point.  The young man simply couldn’t help himself - his body was simply showing approval of the fine female company he currently found himself ensnared in (quite literally).

“Oh, come on now,” cooed Julia at the two of them.  “We’re all partners in his relationship, after all.  Just figured that I’d kill two birds with one stone and all that, you know?”  Before giving either Kazuya or Cassie a moment to reply, Julia simply cracked a smile before leaning in, pressing her C-cup bosom into Kazuya’s back before whispering into his ear.

“Come on now, Kazuya,” she said in a particularly sultry tone, “do THESE make you uncomfortable by chance?”  Obviously she was referring to her breasts bearing down upon his back, but she could have very well referred to Cassie’s D-cup bosom which was pressed up against Kazuya’s chest from below as well.

“Or does THIS make you uncomfortable?” continued Julia as she leaned in, blew gently into Kazuya’s ear, and followed up with some playful nibbling of the guy’s earlobe.

‘Oh crap…keep it together, Kazuya.  Keep it TOGETHER,’ the young man told himself, with his heartrate picking up, along with his pulse increasing in intensity.  He was on the verge of straight-up losing it in front of these lovely ladies, and Cassie could tell as she felt his heart beating against her own (which was also pounding like a sledgehammer by that point from the sexual tension she was feeling from such intimate contact so suddenly).

“Julia, please,” stated the blushing green-haired beauty, “enough teasing now.  Could you please get up and give Kazuya some breathing room?  You’re basically suffocating the poor guy.”  The look of concern in Cassie’s face was all too apparent.  It was a look that was shared by pretty much all the other Pandoras in the room (minus Kassandra and of course Julia), who were doing so partly out of concern for Kazuya’s well being but also out of jealousy and envy for wanting to switch places with Julia so they could have a turn smothering Kazuya’s body against their own.

Before Julia could vocalize a witty response, however, she suddenly found herself being hit by an old familiar feeling, which ended up being shared by the vast majority of everyone else in the room.

For you see, the amount of physical stimulation that Kazuya was being subjected to was simply too much for him to bear any longer.  Between being sandwiched between two pristinely beautiful women as well as the German Pandora’s playful teasing on her part, Kazuya’s will subconsciously let loose something he did not so long ago in front of ALL of his partnered up Pandoras: He released another Freezing field.

Fortunately, the Freezing field he released this time around didn’t encompass the entire building like last time, otherwise the other women scattered throughout it would almost assuredly be making quite the spectacle in front of their former partners no doubt.  This time, the affected area was simply confined to within the living room, so it ONLY ensnared all the Pandoras lounging nearby.

As luck would have it on their part, Kassandra and Michael were protected from Kazuya’s Freezing field, with Michael creating his own smaller Freezing area in a split second to shield the two of them.  The sight they beheld was indeed quite something.

All of the other Pandoras were suddenly panting and moaning in a particularly seductive tone of voice, given the amount of pleasure they were now being subjected to.  For all of them, it was as if they were being given a full-body massage with godlike levels of stimulation working every square inch of their bodies - their bosoms, their necks, their thighs, their asses, literally EVERYWHERE all over their bodies.  It was as if masterful fingers were kneading and pressing every which way that elicited such stimulation that drowned the whole damn lot of them in an ocean of nirvana.

Given that Julia and Cassie were at ‘ground zero’ of the Freezing field, they got the worst (or best?) of the whole thing, given that they were literally pressed up against the source of the whole phenomenon.  Julia elicited a gasp denoting orgasmic pleasure as she instinctively arched her back as far as was possible, while Cassie did the same thing in turn, pushing her head as deep into the sofa cushions as she could while her hips buckled and the muscles in her thighs tensed.

“Ahhh!” shot out Cassie in bliss, unable to elicit any actual words during the Freezing field.  Julia found herself in a similar state, her chest heaving in heavy breaths as her boobs swayed slightly with the movements of her breathing (with her nipples now fully erect - along with Cassie’s).

“K-Kazuya,” moaned Holly, who was currently on her knees and fighting the urge to fall on her side and start stimulating her trembling maidenhood, “y-you need t-to calm down…please!”  The moan in Holly’s voice was too apparent.  It took everything in her willpower to not fall over and scream her lungs out in ecstasy over how damn GOOD Kazuya was making her - and everyone else - feel right now.

“Y-yeah,” stated Charles, who was currently on bended knee and propping herself with one arm on a nearby coffee table.  “J-just take it easy and b-breathe deeply.”  The normally cool, calm, and level-headed Frenchwoman was on the verge of losing it and creaming her panties right there and then (along with pretty much all the other women in the room, again minus Kassandra).

Shutting his eyes, Kazuya took Charles’s advice and did just that.  After a good thirty twenty seconds or so of some deep breaths (trying not to think to hard about the bosoms still sandwiching him all the while - he was still pinned between two amazons after all), Kazuya managed to collect himself and the Freezing field began to shrink back and lose its intensity, freeing everyone who was under its thrall.

Lucky for most of the women involved, this Freezing field wasn’t too intense as to make them outright orgasm and need to change their panties like the last time Kazuya did so.  That being said, MOST of the women were spared the embarrassment of having to do so, but not ALL of them.  After all, both Julia and Cassie were at ground zero of the Freezing field, so they ended up being casualties of suffering under the greatests levels of pleasure from Kazuya’s Ereinbar Set.

That was made apparent enough given the howls of ecstasy the two of them elicited during the torturously pleasurable experience (oxymoronic as that might sound).

‘A omnidirectional Freezing field’ thought Michael at the sight he just witnessed.  ‘Interesting…most Limiters aren’t able to unleash a Freezing area like that.  Even 3rd-year Limiters would have a hard time creating such a field.  Most tend to focus on the area immediately in front of them, but this guy…he’s certainly full of surprises, that much is certain.’

“Oh god,” muttered a very embarrassed Kazuya as he looked around his immediate vicinity.  “I’m so sorry.  Did I hurt any of you?”

“N-no pain on our part, Kazuya,” replied Roxanne with a chuckle.  “You certainly knocked our socks off with that little display of yours, but I’m pretty sure that nobody here needs to go to the infirmary.”

“Yes,” added Rana (calming herself down with deep breaths), “no injuries as far as I can tell.”

Satellizer, Kaho, Holly, and Charles all gave nods of agreement on their part.

“Thank goodness,” muttered Kazuya as he turned towards the last two Pandoras - the ones still pressed against him even now.

“Miss Cassie, are you okay?” asked Kazuya with concern for the Pandora currently underneath him.

The response Kazuya got from the green-haired “Godspeed of the East” was certainly not what he was expecting.

The young woman simply leaned her head up slightly, quietly moaned “Oh Kazuya,” and pressed her lips against his lips, her bosom against his chest, and tenderly wrapper her arms around his torso, pulling him in against her while she let her affection for the young man burst forth.

“I’m gonna take that as her saying she’s more than just okay,” stated Roxanne with a coy grin at the sight of such a thing.

“I’d be inclined to agree with that analysis,” Charles seconded.

The kissing session went on for a solid thirty seconds, before Kazuya was pulled away from Cassie’s luscious lips and warm embrace, turned around and found Julia’s lips claiming Kazuya’s mouth, with her tongue engaging in a blitzkrieg upon the cavern of his mouth and her own breasts pressed hard against his torso as she engaged in a hardcore makeout session, breathing deeply through her nostrils so that she wouldn’t have to break off the kiss in order to draw in more air.

‘Well,’ thought Michael at the sight before him, ‘the guy’s a regular Casanova in the making.  All it takes is one release of his Freezing field and women around him are practically his love slaves.  Not that he’s hypnotizing them or anything like that, from what I can tell.  They all seem to genuinely have the hots for the guy.  So why he feels so torn up and guilty over it all is beyond me.  Guess we’ll find out once the rest of the guys get back from their little heart-to-hearts with the other women.  Part of me would just LOVE to see them all here right now, as I’m guessing that they’d probably be pulling Julia off of the other two just to have some friendly hanky-panky with the guy right about now.’

“By the gods, that was intense,” whispered Kassandra to her Limiter.  “Good thing you were nearby, otherwise I’m not sure what would have happened to me.”  Obviously, she was referring to nearly being caught in Kazuya’s Freezing field, only to be saved at the last minute by Michael’s own Freezing field as a countermove.

“Happy to help, dear,” replied Michael with a coy grin at his partner.

“Alright now, I’d say you’ve had your fun for a while, Julia,” said Roxanne as she went to slowly pry off the “Maverick of Walpurgis” off of Kazuya and free up the young man’s mouth from Julia’s tongue invading as much as possible.

“Awww, come on now,” grumbled Julia.  “You want in on the fun, “Miss Immortal”?  If so, I’m certainly willing to share.  I imagine that Cassie is of the same mind on that at the moment, right love?”  For her part, Miss Lockheart simply turned her head to the side to look away as a raging blush lingered on her cheeks.  Her facial expression and body language conveyed the message clear enough that she wasn’t necessarily against partaking in a small orgy in the works.

“Much as I’d like to take you up on the offer,” countered Roxanne, “we don’t really have the time for such a thing.  It won’t be long before the other Limiters are wrapping things up with the other girls, and besides…”

“Besides what?” asked Julia.

“You need to change your panties - both of you do.” stated Roxanne bluntly.

Immediately afterwards, both Julia’s and Cassie’s eyes shot open as they realized that they had indeed felt a rather pronounced increase in moisture at their groins.  Sure enough, they had realized that they had orgasmed outright from the effects of Kazuya’s Freezing field, given that they were literally pressed up against the very source of the orgasmic phenomenon that had nearly all the women in the room panting and moaning in varying states of ecstasy.

“W-well then,” said Cassie as she stood up from the couch and instinctively pulled her skirt down as much as possible (without literally pulling it down her legs), “if you’ll all excuse me.”  She then hurried her way out of the room, covering her groin and buttocks to the best of her ability while lowering her head and letting her bangs cover her eyes to mask how mortified she was feeling at that very moment as she vacated the room.

“I suppose I should freshen up somewhat,” added Julia as she proceeded to do likewise as her fellow Pandora, but not before leaning in and giving Kazuya one final smooch (no tongue this time) and vacating the premises.

“So…that just happened,” stated Michael, trying to break the awkward silence from what had just occurred.

“You know, I think I’m gonna go check up on the others and see how they’re doing with the other guys,” stated Kaho.  “The thirty minutes is nearly over, so best to go and make sure they’re not forgetting about meeting up with Kazuya.  If you’ll excuse me.”

“Hold up,” said Holly.  “I’ll give you a hand with that.  Less ground to cover if you have some assistance.”

“I suppose I can help lighten the load and join you two,” added Charles and then turned to Roxanne.  “You coming, Miss Zombie?”

“Actually,” replied the pinkette, “I’m gonna go grab another slice or two of pizza and get my grub on.  Then I think I’ll head to bed shortly after.”  She then turned to Satellizer and Rana.  “What about you two?”

“We’ll just wait here and provide company with Kazuya until the others arrive,” answered Rana.  “Maybe kill time with some small talk or channel surf until the others are ready.”  Satellizer simply nodded in agreement, still trying to calm down from the sexual high she was feeling after that last Ereinbar Set.

“Alright then,” replied Roxanne, who then turned to Kazuya and blew him a kiss.  “Have fun with the guys then, Kazuya.  I’m sure it’ll all go over well enough.”  Afterwards, she made her way out of the room and towards the kitchen.

That left Kazuya Aoi sitting on the couch, flanked by both Satellizer and Rana, though mercifully neither of them tried to make an outright move on the guy, lest they risk getting him riled up to the point that he unleash another Freezing field and have them creaming their panties just like what ended up happening with Cassie and Julia.  Kassandra simply took a seat on one of the recliners in the room, with Michael in her lap (her arms wrapped around him like safety belts as she snuggled him against her body).

A few more minutes passed among the now smaller group as the television played in the background, with the women making occasional smalltalk and chatter in order to kill time and keep the awkward silence from returning.  It served its purpose well enough, as the sound of multiple footsteps caught everyone’s attention.

Sure enough, the other Limiters had returned and had gathered at the entrance to the living room, with their respective partners (and former partners) nearby.

“Well,” said Michael, “looks like the gang’s all here then.”  He turned his gaze up to Kassandra, indicating that it was time for her to split off and spend some time chatting with the other women while the guys had their little sitdown session.  She kissed him on the forehead, placed him on the ground, stood up, and proceeded to join with the other women.

“Alright then, boys,” stated Chiffon, “we’ll leave you to have some quality ‘guy time’ while we’re off.  Anything comes up, just holler and I’m pretty sure that we’ll all be on scene before you know it.”  She turned her gaze towards Kazuya afterwards and shot him that same bubbly smile she was known for.  If Chiffon wasn’t the type who normally had her eyes slitted narrowly like those of a fox, she most assuredly would shoot him a sexy little wink in the process.

Seconds later, all of the Pandoras had vacated the room, leaving Kazuya alone with the other nine young men who had come over.  So now it was finally time for Kazuya to have a little heart-to-heart with his fellow Limiters.  It was something that he was both looking forward to and at the same time dreading to the point of mildly sweating.
