Pause System: Harem In The Apocalypse

"Just that?" She asked.

Her pink hair almost glittered from how silky it was, her grey eyes sparkling as they looked at him, and that pleasantly sweet scent.

Seeing this, Gray gulped. Something about the way she was looking at him, the hypnotic stare. Once again, something was rising and it wasn't his self-restraint.

After realizing what she had just said, she reflexively turned her head to the right in embarrassment. Despite that, He grabbed her by the cheeks and turned her face, towards him resulting in a deep kiss.

Wai- Mnph..."

Her face grew redder and redder as their tongues inter wined once more. He twirled around the inside of her mouth, soaking in the softness of her tongue, as he made his hand down her body, before eventually coming to a stop by her shorts.

Gray pulled back from the kiss, stared at her as her sexy pants were released, before grabbing her ass and clenching it.

"Mn~!" She let out, startled by his sudden action.

Her legs began to tremble as his hand slowly circled from the back to the front before slowly rubbing it. He could slightly feel the wetness through the cloth's fabric whilst she shuddered.

"G-Gray…"

"Aurora…"

"Gray…? Aurora…?" A voice came from the distance interrupting them. "Ah, it was you! I've been looking for you two! It's pouring and foods ready…? Sorry, was I interrupting something?"

The two turned to the source of the voice only to find Lara with a rather worried look. She had failed to read the mood.

"N-Not at all." Gray muttered, placing his moist hands on his pocket and pushing them out to hide his son's awakening.

'Seriously? Another cockblock?' Gray thought to himself.

Aurora sent a piercing glance at Lara before turning her head to the left in a pout. "N-Nothing…" She added with watery eyes.

After the event, the two went to eat. Aurora seemed strangely upset at both Lara and Gray but no matter how many times Lara asked, she refused to speak up. Eventually they gave up on it seeing as how she didn't want to talk.

Lara and Violet who had cooked were excited to hear their thoughts. They were made using the ingredients they had gotten from quite a while ago so there was no telling if It was still good.

But based on how tasty it was, they all agreed that it the ingredients were still good to eat. Besides, even if it wasn't they'd be able to manage with the canned meals for a while.

A pleasant surprise for Gray and everyone however, was that Kylo and Lita had finally woken up.

"Gray!" They both shouted as they leapt at him, grasping him tightly.

Gray understood that Kylo was happy, but Lita too? That was a surprise. Another surprise was her suddenly bawling all the water out of her eyes as she rubbed her head on his shirt. "Gray…" She cried.

'Seriously, what happened? I thought she hated me?'

Although Kylo had let off, Lita continued to hug Gray tightly as she rubbed her head on his stomach.

"Oh my~ Lita, it's rude to cry on someone like that.". Said Lara before trying to pull her away. Unfortunately, Lita just wouldn't let go. "I'm sorry Gray, she's not usually like this." She added, slightly embarrassed.

"It's fine." Gray replied with a smile.

It wasn't a bad feeling but she was getting snot all over it, so after a while, he had enough.

Gray pinched her cheeks as he slowly moved her a way, only to find the area which she had been rubbed her face on, covered in gooey snot. "Okay… Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere." He muttered, his eye brow twitching as he forced a smile.

"You promise…?" She asked, her tears running down her face.

"Yeah…" He replied as he gave her a pat.

"Okway…"

She rubbed her eyes and face, before presenting him with a smile.

"Hey, Gray…" Aurora called out to him.

He turned his head to the right only to find her with her head leaned in, her cheeks colored pink as if she was expecting something.

"Yes, yes… I promise you too…" He replied as he too gave her a pat.

A cute little smile seemed to grow on her as he rubbed her head, she sort of reminded him of a kitty with the way she was acting.

*Poke*

Just when he thought it was over, another poke came from his left. There Violet was also leaned in, her eyes turned down, staring at the ground. She seemed to have been waiting for something.

'You two…?' He wondered before also patting her.

"Hey! Don't leave me out." Said Lita before suddenly leaping at Gray.

—————

While the three bonded, Kylo and his mother could be seen eating with smiles on their faces.

After the dinner. The six could be seen at the table.

"I have something to tell you all, I've figured out more about our abilities." Said Gray.

There was one more thing he discovered through the torture. The most important of all. Evolution Energy. Gray proceeded to explain to the group what it was and they all listened in closely.

Evolution Energy. The energy which fuels our abilities. After awakening, any life form can have it. The labyrinths caused most humans to awaken theres, without evolution energy, their abilities won't manifest.

The amount and purity of the energy can be trained in many different ways. The ones Gray found out were, body tempering, for example, physical training. Practicing your control over your ability and energy refinement.

Although it was called refinement, it was nothing too complex. You would simply refine the energy in your body by picturing it flowing throughout, and improve your control over it. That was one of the ways you could refine this energy.

Although you could train such things, there was still a limit to how far you could go. It would all depend on the potential of your ability. But the fact that it existed at least meant that you could train your abilities.

Labyrinths on the over hand opened possibilities to expanding your limits which was another reason why they were so interested in them.

These were all the things Gray explained to them. Except for Lita, they all seemed to understand.

"So if that's the case? Why don't they all just go attack our labyrinths at once? Why do they have to destroy everything while they're at it?" Kylo asked.

"For fun, maybe?" Violet assumed.

"Either way, regardless of the reason. They're attacking us. Although it won't affect us right away, in the Long run things will be bad. Which is why… We'll strike back." Said Gray.
