Harem Reborn

Chapter 278: Tequila

[Day 3/1825 on The Godless Green Earth A.I World]

We settled down on the ground, and Mikota took a step back, while I took a deep breath. I opened my menu and selected the summon open, choosing yes.

[Summoning 2 Guardians]

2 pairs of hands came out pulling hair and struggling. I brought dirt up to brace them and then tried to pry the hands out of the hair.

"HEY!" I roared over the head and shoulders of Tequila and Grace, who both froze and they both stared up at me.

"Dave!" They said in excitement, fight forgot, weirdos, but better than the alternative.

"Wait until you two get out, then we will hug it out," I said, smiling at the girls who continued to slide out until they were out.

Grace was purple and blue stripes, and she came over, giving me a hug. Then she leaned in and whispered into my ear as she hugged me.

"Go show Mom a good time, she's missed you, a lot. It's been really annoying, so I wound her up a bit, just a little bit, hehe!" Grace said, waiting.

"Get going you don't get rewarded for being a pain in the ass to some that were just excited," I said stepping away.

"But Dave, I have been a bad girl! I don't want a," but I cut her off with a finger across her lips.

"Maybe later, but you know this is different," I said, giving her a meaningful look.

"I know, but don't you leave me high and dry! I know what this means but we spent a lot of time together with two and don't you forget that!"

She walked past me and went over to where Mikota was waiting and the two of them disappeared over a grass hill. I turned back and was tackled, but I used the earth to catch us on a floating bed of grass.

I looked up, yellow hair hung around my face, and pink eyes stared down at me. Tequila had delicate Asian features and a cute little smile that kissed me all over my face.

"I missed you stranger," I said squeezing her tight to me; I had used the dirt to stand us back up.

"I miss us, this, the kissing, your smile, the feel of your arms, I have missed it all, but not until you know. Then It was like I had known the entire time, luckily Grace's harassing helped keep my mind off things," Tequila said, putting her head on my chest.

"I will have to punish her later! I am just glad to finally have you here in my arms. I like your colors, you look cute in yellow. Do you want to come to see what I have been building?" I asked, kissing the top of Tequila's head.

"No, I want to go for a walk, I watch you and," She tried to finish her sentence, but I tried to muffle her voice in my chest, but it was useless.

"See?! I told you I would bring her to you!" Gripton said from out of nowhere.

Tequila squealed in surprise and pressed her naked body into me to hide from Gripton.

"Git!"

"I found the base," Gripton said.

"Good, I can't lift a mountain today, go bother your girls."

Gripton smiled and disappeared, then it was just the two of us again.

"Don't even think of his name, or he just pops out of nowhere. The guy is like a weed, just pops up everywhere!"

Tequila laughed, and the two of us turned to go for our walk. It was nice just to get out, but it was really hard to stay in the moment. 

I kept getting lost in memories, and finally, Tequila noticed, and pulled me down onto the grass. I let myself be guided by her, lost in staring at her, thinking about all the amazing time we had together.

She let me just stare into her eyes without saying anything. It was like the entire world drifted away, and for that brief moment in time, we weren't playing a game, it was just the two of us.

"I don't want to have to do this all over again, I don't want to lose you. This journey, Reginold, this game, all of it is keeping me from finally being able to do what I set out to do so long ago. I just wanted to save everyone and give us all a safe place to call home. Now it has become some kind of never-ending extremely long groundhog day, over and over. Is there a way we can bypass the rest of the world?"

"I'm not really sure about that, but I do know that doing a reset will give you admin role back and you can stop the reset from happening," Tequila said.

"No, the reset doesn't just happen, Aegis or I have to trigger it from Aihalla. The reset was only put there with the original intention of the game for people to come out and the game be restarted. I stopped that, and now the reset is only to be used in an emergency. That means that Reginold finds the Key, so I can't shut it off. It could have been me pulling the switch every time, in fact I know it would have been me. If he gets the key then it's all over, so it would make sense that I would go back to the beginning to be tortured."

"Then, why can't we remember what happened at Aihalla?" Tequila asked, bushing some of my black hair out of my face. 

"My fault again, but this one has been fucking everyone from the start. Aihalla was built by me, and Aegis, but we used a special program inside of the game that made files inside the thirteenth word only go in, not out. Only Spark could leave, but only with what they came with, none of the other memories that had gained or the powers. Everything there is special and unique, but the point was to make it so that the place is a great mystery and people would love to go to try it out. I felt like it was a good addition at the time, and it has kept Reginold from finding the key up until that point."

"So then how do we get you past all the other worlds, and into the Zodiac worlds? We will all have to be there, but that will happen regardless." Tequila said, trying to podder out.

"Hey, if I have never been this far, then I haven't tried to use the world walker system to get off the game world before. If I reset the game, then it should work because I made the system so we could travel anywhere in the game world, but with my cheating and nothing there to restrict it, I should be alright. Then I can go back and get the last girls and do the Builder Sequence, then we start fighting for our lives for real. I don't want to have to do this again."

"We have got farther than ever before, so we just have to trust that what you are doing this time is right. It's working, we can't ask for much more than that, now enough talking and just let me lay in your arms for a bit, before we have to go find the other two," Tequila said, tucking herself into my arms.

We laid there for about an hour before we heard the girls, Kazuya, and the rest of the group. They always seemed to be trying to follow us, but everyone looked happy, so it must be good news. 

The two of us kissed, but that ended up being more than a quick thing. We had both been so distracted that the entire time we hadn't done it once.

"Are you guys done sucking face yet? You people are sitting around bored and they need a leader to give them something to do. I can make them work faster and be better at their jobs, I just need to crack a whip!" Grace said with a devilish smile, but Miala ruined it for her but coming up with a smile and grabbing her arm.

"You should have seen Miss Grace! She got everybody doing the jobs they were best at with just a couple quick questions! She is quite the impressive person!" Miala said, and Tali came over on the other side of Grace latching on and nodding her head.

"Well, looks like you fit in right away. I guess that means we should all get back, I will have to call upon, thou who shall not be named!" I said dramatically, and Gripton appeared frowning at me.

"I don't know if I like that one," Gripton said with a thoughtful expression.

"That's fine, you're never really sure about any of your names, so I just call you at random," I said laughing. "Come on, let's get going, more points to spend and shit to build."
