BXBX NOVEL Chapter 302: Just the beginning [1/2]
"Inari. Aki, can you please help me with the test?"
"Of course master. What do I have to do?"
"Just say {Accept}."
"{Accept}."
Suddenly, my vision changed. Originally, I was looking at the Sirens, but now I could see myself through someone else\'s eyes. For the first time, I could finally get a chance to take a look at myself.
"Master?"
My original body continued to look straight ahead, not following my line of sight. It was kind of disorienting. When I turned my neck to the left, the view didn\'t change. It was like wearing a broken VR headset.
"Aki, look at Lilly."
It was weird, I was the one speaking, but I was hearing my voice through Aki\'s body instead of my own.
\'Do I really sound like that?\'
My voice sounded like that of an asshole, a two-bit criminal. It was cringy as fuck. People usually found their own voice annoying. I forgot what the term was, but many who tried to record themselves ended up destroying the recordings.
\'I understand now. Fuck, is there a way to change my voice? I thought I sounded cool at least.\'
"Yes."
I shifted my body to face Lilly, Aki did the same. The feeling of disorientation finally subsided somewhat. From Aki\'s ears I heard the voice coming from my body\'s throat. I tried to sniff and noticed that I smelled nothing.
"Aki, apart from hearing and vision, do you feel anything else?"
"I\'m not sure, can you try pinching yourself master?"
I followed her words and pinched the back of my hand. Contrary to my expectations, the feeling of pain was transferred to me.
\'So our bodies still retain the feeling, it really is just like using VR goggles.\'
Suddenly, I smelled a sweet floral fragrance. It was soothing to the nerves. Then my gaze fell on a stalk of small purple flowers. Before I could ask, Aki confirmed my hunch.
"Master, do you smell the scent of lavender?"
"I think so?"
The hand that held the flowers moved and then brought the lavender to "my" mouth. I expected to taste something, but there was nothing, even as I heard my jaw chew on the flowers.
"So it seems that only sight, sound and smell are being transmitted."
"Yes, Master. Taste and touch are not shared."
"Thank you for helping with the test Aki," I said as I looked at my Japanese lover.
"Master, why are your eyes focused on my chest? Please show some restraint."
"Oops. {Imaging}."
"Kya! Anata! What are you doing?!"
I suddenly felt delicate hands trying to cover the upper half of my face. As Aki stared at Lilly and my girls, I wanted to see if the effects of our abilities would transfer to me.
"Shame."
Then I felt a strong slap on my shoulder.
"Anata! Cancel it! Now!"
"Ah, sorry, Aki. {Imaging} - Vision."
Aki was on the petite side, similar to Bella and a bit taller than Robyn. But regardless of height, my eyes naturally drifted to the wonderful lady parts of my girls. It was a guy thing.
"{Perspective}."
As I invoked the {Kismet} a second time, my sight returned to my own body. I looked to my right and saw a Japanese beauty unhappily covering her chest.
Aki was already quite daring by Asian standards, but she probably didn\'t expect how much I wanted her amazing figure. Seeing my gaze, the beauty blushed and turned away.
Finding her quite adorable, I hugged her from behind and kissed her neck.
"Kamisan, please forgive me. Its just that seeing a seductive fruit that I cannot eat every day is a little hard. It is pure torture if I am honest."
"Ara. Shall I start calling you Shujin? Are you sure you want me to be your landlady? Not even Tsuma? But Kamisan?"
"Hehe, considering how you can kill me if you wanted to, yes, I think Kamisan is the most accurate. At first, I thought you just wanted to be called by your name. But I noticed that you felt a bit left out."
"Anata, it seems like you were watching me very closely."
"How could I not, Kamisan?"
To make my lovers feel unique, I actually used pet names. The unique manner I selected came from the way they called me. The terms of endearment were not used interchangeably, so they were only for a specific person.
Dear or Dearest was exclusively for Lilly.
Liv owned beloved or my love.
Honey and Mrs. Code applied to Bella.
Jo and I were each other\'s darling.
Jasmine loved being called Wifey.
Finally, since I thought Australian marsupials were fucking ugly, I just called Robyn Kitten. Since I had a fetish for catgirls, it worked very well.
The reactions were mostly positive. Pet names were not just for flaunting your intimacy to others. They were more self-serving. It just sort of happened when your love for each other overflowed.
Aki, however, remained Aki. This was because I knew from anime and manga that calling a Japanese person by her first name was already considered very close. However, I noticed a sense of sadness coming from Aki when I called her that way.
It was subtle, but it seemed like she wanted a term of endearment of her own. I kept Googling how the Japanese address their wives and found the term Kamisan. Literally translated as "landlady," it was a playful term used for wives with strong personalities.
It meant that the wife held the pants in the family. It was used for strong, intelligent and honorable wives. In contrast, Tsuma was the generic term for one\'s wife. A hidden meaning in the use of Kamisan was that the husband honored his wife as an equal, unlike Tsuma.
Shujin was what Japanese wives called their husbands, but it also had a hidden meaning. Synonymous with master, shujin meant that the wife was lowering herself to be her husband\'s servant.
Aki, being conservative, wanted to be submissive. But I didn\'t want her to lower herself. She was my wife, but she was also my partner and someone I respected. So I decided to use Kamisan as a nickname.
From our pseudo-Kindred link, I felt a wave of bliss and happiness emanating from the woman in my arms. This only happened when my Kindred were overwhelmed with emotion.
\'I\'m glad she seems pleased.\'
"\'Ehem. Honey. Are you done yet?"
"I once again feel like I\'m being NTRed." Lilly commented.
"Darling loves everyone after all. It\'s fine!"
"Bloody oath! Let Possum and Aki have their moment."
"We simply take turns after all. If you interrupt a Siren\'s moment, expect to be interrupted in turn, Princess," Jasmine warned.
"Beloved has more than enough affection for everyone, so I don\'t mind. Unlike my father, he actually cares about all of us."
Hearing the rest of my women, Aki and I quickly separated. But my Asian lover with an amazing rack moved at blinding speed to give me a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Shujin. I love you."
Along with a whisper she ran away and joined the rest of the Sirens.
