Tritoma's sudden scream startled all the restless young and old women.
Miku had even put on her headphones specifically to avoid hearing such sounds.
But this time Tritoma had shouted so dramatically that the shy Miku was nearly startled into falling off her bed.
"Shameless!" Nino cursed, her face red.
She recognized the voice as Tritoma's too, 'Not only did she run to a man's room late at night, but she also had to scream so loudly.'
'Bitch! Bitch pirate!'
But it wasn't over.
"AAAAAH!"
"Help! Help!"
"Makoto-kun! I was wrong! I was really wrong!!"
The voices of Megumi, Ran, Yui, and others rang out one after another.
The Nakano Quintuplets and Fujiwara sisters staying in the inn across the street were dumbfounded.
'N-No, hadn't they already fallen earlier?'
'Why were they going again?'
'Had they recovered and started round two?'
But although the screaming was even more exaggerated, Yui and the others went quiet after just a couple of cries.
Clearly, they had wanted to try Makoto's enhanced form but couldn't handle even two moves before collapsing.
'Small fries!'
Mrs. Yukinoshita, Yukiko, Eri, Kayoko, and other members of the daytime 'MILFs' group' felt they couldn't wait until tomorrow.
In the real world, they sometimes eavesdropped on the 'girls' group', but even Reze, the most uninhibited one, had never screamed this dramatically.
"Wh-What exactly happened?" Sayuri swallowed. "Is it really that good?"
Meanwhile, Eriri, the doujinshi artist, buried herself under her covers, 'I'm not listening, I'm not listening, I'm not listening.'
But under the covers, Eriri was wriggling around like a worm.
The second round started and ended within half an hour.
Although it was quite late, very few people were sleeping.
To be precise, aside from Makoto's female companions and the men's group on the other street, practically no one else slept.
Yukino felt an immense sense of humiliation, especially after hearing Tritoma's cries.
Because, let's be honest, Tritoma wasn't really that pretty.
Of course, compared to the other three Kuja empresses, she did seem quite ordinary. And compared to Makoto's female companions, she wasn't particularly beautiful either.
Currently, the least attractive among Makoto's female companions was probably the unremarkable Ebina Hina.
But this little wallflower was self-aware... in the real world, she just worked as a maid in Makoto's palace.
Unlike Megumi and the Aizono sisters, she usually worked the hardest.
Even if others told her not to, she still worked.
It wasn't so much that she had feelings for Makoto, but rather that she used her body as a bargaining chip to gain permission to live in the palace.
Tritoma's looks were only slightly better than Hina's… at the level of a class beauty.
In the Tiktok of his previous life, she could definitely attract some simps and get some money from them.
But among Makoto's women, she really didn't rank.
Most importantly, Yukino felt Tritoma couldn't compare to her.
Yet Makoto would rather have Tritoma than her. For Yukino, this was the ultimate humiliation.
At that moment, she only had two words in her heart: Why her?
Just then, the girls across the way saw a figure walk out of the high-end inn. It was Makoto.
He was drinking milk to replenish protein, sitting on a public bench at the entrance enjoying the night view.
Hiratsuka, the workhorse of comprehensive anime and a perennial old virgin, bit her lip, remembering Tritoma's actions… a great woman does as she pleases.
'Maybe I should...'
Hearing Moeha's increasingly rapid breathing from the same room, Chika and Kei turned to look at their sister/best friend and were startled.
At that moment, Moeha looked like a female protagonist from a certain anime, drooling at the corners of her mouth, hearts in her eyes.
Hiratsuka, eager to try, felt an odd sense of resonance, 'It seemed I wasn't the only one having similar thoughts.'
But thinking that a high school-aged girl from another world dared to do it, why couldn't she, Hiratsuka Shizuka?
Sometimes you have to be a little crazy, or you'll get old!
However, just as many bold young and old women were about to make their move, a graceful figure suddenly jumped down from a balcony… from the Nakano Quintuplets' room.
Seeing the figure bouncing towards Makoto, her hair ribbon hopping like a rabbit's ears, Ichika, Nino, Miku, and Itsuki were startled.
Recalling what their sister had done at the party, they couldn't help but scream inwardly: 'You fool, what are you going to do now?'
"Yotsuba? Not asleep yet?" Makoto asked, watching Yotsuba bounce towards him.
He was inexplicably reminded of a saying… If you don't own a dog, you'll never understand the joy of a dog running towards you.
Upon getting closer, Yotsuba noticed the state of Makoto's sleep pants and was completely shocked, 'N-No way, Makoto-kun, is your physique really this good?!'
"Yotsuba? Yotsuba?" Makoto called out a few more times before Yotsuba finally snapped out of her shock.
"Ah... I-I'm sorry, Makoto-kun. I-I spaced out."
"It's fine. Sit down." Makoto patted the spot next to him.
Yotsuba brushed her bangs aside and sat down beside Makoto. The strong scent of the opposite sex invaded her nose, making her heart pound uncontrollably.
"U-Um, Makoto-kun, thank you."
"Huh?" Makoto didn't understand what Yotsuba meant.
She continued: "If it weren't for you, Makoto-kun, I would have gone up on stage today, and then..."
Makoto instantly understood Yotsuba was talking about the Human-Human Fruit.
If Makoto hadn't signaled her not to act, Yotsuba probably would have been egged on by Nino and the others to go on stage and eat a useless fruit.
"How could I let my people eat a useless fruit? Devil Fruits have many drawbacks. If you're going to eat one, it has to be top-tier." Makoto said.
In fact, the main reason Devil Fruit users feared sea water was because the sea water in the One Piece World contained the special element, Pyrobloin.
In other worlds, the effect wouldn't be as dramatic, but it would still cause a feeling of weakness.
This was evident from how Luffy, just taking a regular bath, would also feel limp.
And precisely because of the many drawbacks, if his people were to become ability users, they had to eat top-tier fruits.
Something like the Flame-Flame Fruit or the Magnet-Magnet Fruit, those mediocre ones, wouldn't do.
Of course, if someone like Hina or Sonoko were to eat one, that would be acceptable.
At least elementalization was good for mindlessly crushing small fry.
And to be honest, those girls didn't have much talent anyway... even if they ate a top-tier fruit, they wouldn't develop it very far.
Hearing Makoto say 'my people', Yotsuba felt a secret joy, 'Did that mean, in Makoto's heart, I counted as one of his people... I'm so happy.'
