*************************************

Returning from the war zone at noon, I appear in the kitchen of our house in the capital and am greeted by a curious sight.

The first thing I see is Alessia, her back to me, cooking while completely naked except for an apron.

I don't see Delia, so I imagine she must be praying at the small altar she has created in one of the 5 spare rooms in the house.

"That's a cooking technique I haven't seen you use before," I say, amused, surprised, and delighted to see the gorgeous, curvaceous body of the beautiful blonde girl who is my girlfriend.

"Master! Welcome back. Do you want a bath? Do you want to eat? Or...? Do-you-want-Me?" She says half jokingly and half seriously as she stops what she is doing and approaches me seductively.

"I think there will be time for everything. But... shouldn't we call Delia before we continue?" I say testing the waters because I know that lately Alessia is very focused on me paying more attention to her than to Delia.

Since Delia started living with us, Alessia's attitude towards me has become somewhat possessive.

As time goes by, Alessia is starting to get along better and better with Delia, but still, the young blonde seems to be firmly determined to always be the first to receive my attention in all possible contexts.

"Yes, right..." says Alessia effusively.

But she seems to have no intention of moving away from me, and she clutches my ass tightly, pulling me closer to her and pressing her crotch against mine.

"... But she's praying. I don't think we should interrupt her."

Alessia's eyes have a mischievous twinkle in them as she smiles at me and begins to rub herself against my body, inviting me to take her here and now.

In the past, this would have been more than enough for me to forget everything and everyone and fuck her wildly in this very spot.

In our relationship, she has almost always been the shy one and I the bold one.

That's why the occasions when she takes the initiative are so special, and I hate to waste them.

But now there is one more person living with us, and I have to be fair to both of them.

Still, the fact that the tantalizing body of the girl squeezing and rubbing against my body is practically naked is sapping my resolve at an alarming rate.

"Delia! I'm home," I say, raising my voice as my hands begin to move on their own and tightly embrace Alessia's body. 

The young woman wastes no time and begins kissing, licking, and sucking on my neck.

...

The three of us are lying completely naked on the kitchen floor.

Delia and Alessia are peacefully asleep next to me, exhausted after so many rounds in a row without rest.
 
At first we used the kitchen table as a makeshift bed while the three of us indulged in pleasure.

But the creaking of the furniture soon showed me that this was not the best of my ideas, and we began to use and test every surface in the kitchen, until we ended up on the floor, which is now wet with our fluids.

'I suppose they will have a day off today and not go to the clinic. Or maybe they'll decide to go later, when they wake up... 

Anyways… now that they're unconscious, it's time to edit our statuses...

And then I should get some rest too.'

The fact that I saw Beatrice's blue dot on my map while I was having sex with my girls is a clear sign that my mind urgently needs a break.

According to my map, Beatrice was upstairs while I was having sex with Delia and Alessia.

It's absurd, and that's why I was only very slightly distracted by the sight of it.

Still, the little dot remained static for a few minutes before disappearing, fleetingly irritating me at a time when I should have been most relaxed and happy.

'I have to find a solution for these stress-induced hallucinations...

But now I have other things to do, and I can't waste the little time I spend with my girls lamenting about the instability of my stupid head'

[Alessia Addari has 11 free points]

'Yep, her levels are still rising at a good rate, even though she doesn't go to the labyrinth every day.'

The Harem member and Harem lord classes have quickly become indispensable classes for us.

I don't know if we have to have both classes activated to maintain this shared experience effect.

But for now they are still at relatively low levels, so the idea of replacing them hasn't even crossed my mind.

And even if they reach level 35 or so, which will eventually happen, I don't think it would be a wise decision to deactivate them.

It's been a while since Alessia had so many free points.

Obviously, adding some low-level classes to her status was the right thing to do.

Throughout these weeks, I've been routinely changing our statuses and replacing classes that have reached a very high level but do not give us an important skill with lower-level classes.

All this because low-level classes level up more easily and allow us to acquire stat points faster.

I've been investing those stat points mostly in increasing our resistances, since if the king of Drial Cenit has a person who kills with curses, it's best to be prepared against that kind of danger.

And since my girls can't edit their statuses in the middle of a fight, it's best for them to have a few stat points allocated in all resistances.

I'm doing the same with myself, even though I can edit my status freely at any time and I have my resistance profiles, as I think it's preferable for all three of us to have a certain level of passive resistance to any kind of attack.

'Ok, the editing of Alessia's status is finished. Now let's see the status of my little religious fox girl.'

[Delia] [Saint Lvl 13] [Adventurer Lvl 29] [Archer Lvl 33] [Lancer Lvl 35] [Warrior Lvl 33] [Harem member Lvl 20] [War priestess Lvl 17] [Explorer Lvl 9] [Great Adventurer Lvl 5]

[Delia has 9 free points]

Now that Delia also has nine classes activated at the same time, she is starting to gain free points at a similar rate as Alessia.

Alessia's and Delia's statuses have changed a lot in the last weeks, and I have noticed, by the way they move, that they perceive these changes.

But it's just normal.

Even if I've been increasing the girls' stat points very gradually every day, it's still a huge change in a very short time.

But since they already know about my abilities to edit people's statuses in my party, they haven't commented on it.

Still, lately they are both much more affectionate with me.

I don't know if it's because they're pleased about getting stronger or for some other reason, but I think it's silly to ask them directly.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

[Delia] [Saint Lvl 13] [Adventurer Lvl 29] [Archer Lvl 33] [Lancer Lvl 35] [Warrior Lvl 33] [Harem member Lvl 20] [War priestess Lvl 17] [Explorer Lvl 9] [Great Adventurer Lvl 5]

Now that I'm looking directly at my girls' statuses, I realize that there's another person I've forgotten about these past few weeks.

I'm obviously talking about Melisa.

I hope she's not upset about me leaving her unattended all this time.

When I finish editing our statuses, I'll pay her a visit, and then I'll see if she's been gaining levels these past few weeks as well.

If so, that would be the final proof that Harem member and Harem Lord are the classes responsible for this shared experience effect.

I'm 90% sure that those classes are responsible, but I don't have definitive proof yet.

This could very well be some kind of side effect of the Hero class.

Since Melisa only has Harem member as an extra class, and I could already check that before activating the class she had not been gaining levels recently, she is precisely the person I should have thought of a while ago to test my theory.

Until now I had only thought of Melisa as a possible lover, since my relationship with her has always been somewhat complicated.

Perhaps that's why I subconsciously pushed the idea of visiting her to the back of my mind until Alessia, Delia, and I could finally be in a slightly more stable situation.

But that's very unfair to her, and it seems that Alessia and Delia have accepted her to some extent in our relationship, so I can't put off my visit to Danes City any longer.

But first I have to edit my status...

[Emir] [Great Adventurer Lvl 37] [Sniper Lvl 29] [Sword King Lvl 27] [Assassin Lvl 33] [Harem Lord Lvl 26] [Traveler Lvl 28] [Hero Lvl 8] [Explorer Lvl 9] [Strategist Lvl 7]

[Sadist Lvl 1]
[Workaholic Lvl 1]

HP=60 || MP=40
Agility=70|| Strength=70
Intelligence=70 || Luck=16

[Resistance]
Physical=20 || Magic=15
Poison=15 || Curse=15

You have 22 free stat points.

Thanks to the Hero class, I have obtained much more stat points than Alessia and Delia.

During these weeks, I invested most of those extra points in MP, so I can have more active summons at the same time.

But I've also increased my HP by a few points, as well as all the resistance stats.

I've only dared to add a small amount of points to Luck, as my last few experiences with that stat in high numbers have been too chaotic for my liking.

Anyway, my parents have somehow managed to make that stat work in their favor, and they have become incredibly strong because of it, so I want to try to achieve that as well.

Still, I've decided to be especially cautious with Luck, and so I'm not going to change it too much all at once.

After several days of fierce self-control in sex, Sadist finally went down a notch and Sexopath disappeared.

However, strangely, Masochist on Alessia went up a level, as did Nymphomaniac on Delia.

I don't know what's going on with my girls' altered states lately, but it seems like I can't have any control over them anymore.

For better or worse, Alessia and Delia will have to live with those altered states.

And I guess I'll have to do it too for the time being… 

I gained a new altered state, about the same time I lost Sexopath.

[Workaholic Lvl 1]

It's understandable, considering the routine I've been going through these past few days.

I don't like its meaning, but I can't worry too much about it now.

'Pew...

I didn't think it would take so long to edit our statuses...

Or maybe it is simply that, now that I have realized my mistake, I am impatient to go to see Melisa...

How could I forget for so long to go and warm her bed?...

It's been too long since I've paid her a visit, and that's not good at all...

After all, can I really say I have a harem if I don't take care to satisfy each of my women equally?...

But I'm new to all this too, and I don't think there's any book that teaches how to properly maintain a relationship like ours...

Haa... No one is born knowing. Let alone knowledge like this'
