"Hehe, well, that's what I mean." Merrilee replied "You seem obsessed with me, is what I meant."

"What do you mean? I though you're my wifey... don't couples do this sort of thing in your world?" RED asked innocently.

"Hmm? Oh, Histoire." Serif acknowledged, watching her approach "Merrilee's gone with Red. They went to some other nation; Low E, or something like that. I stayed behind cause... Well..." He told her, sighing.

"Jealous?" Histoire asked.

"Well, yeah." Merrilee replied "But not all the time..."

Serif

305857/305857

Serif blinked, blushing "What? No, not at all, who told you that?" He asked, in a very transparent way that didn't hide anything even slightly.

 

[Phantom Thief of Hearts]

"Well, yeah." Merrilee replied "But not all the time..."

"Could you help me out? I'm just not use to actually being in a relationship... you know? I'm just a kid and all!" RED groaned.

Serif blinked, blushing "What? No, not at all, who told you that?" He asked, in a very transparent way that didn't hide anything even slightly.

"You made it rather obvious since you tried to keep RED's attention away from Merrilee... And yes I've seen it... Nearly everything in Gamindustri is documented by me..."

"You're... A kid?" Merrilee asked, looking Red up and down, unable to believe this fact "Are you sure you should be looking for a relationship so aggressively right now?"

Serif

305857/305857

Serif sighed "I'm just... I've liked Merrilee ever since we first met, and that was a while ago... Long before we came here." He told her "But I haven't been able to talk to her... I just get nervous and freeze up whenever I think about it. And now Red's taking her away just like that..." He said, burying his head in his hands "Pathetic, isn't it? I could beat up some of the strongest monsters back in my world, and yet I'm being beaten by a couple of girls."

"You're... A kid?" Merrilee asked, looking Red up and down, unable to believe this fact "Are you sure you should be looking for a relationship so aggressively right now?"

"Well, I'm basically the right age to look for a wifey... but..." RED groaned again and sat down on a nearby bench, "I don't even know... I'm just a girl who loves other girls... Love's a confusing mess that scares people... So I thought a Wifey Harem would make things easier for me... I guess that doesn't work..."

Serif sighed "I'm just... I've liked Merrilee ever since we first met, and that was a while ago... Long before we came here." He told her "But I haven't been able to talk to her...

I could beat up some of the strongest monsters back in my world, and yet I'm being beaten by a couple of girls."

"You mean RED?" Histoire corrected Serif, "But no, It isn't pathetic... why the romance between Planeptune and Lastasion's CPUs can be considered more pathetic..."

@theManCalledSting


Merrilee gave her a sad look and sat down next to her "It's tough, I know... Looking for a ton of people you like might not be the best thing for you." She told her "I didn't say anything earlier because I thought you'd figured it out... And it's not my place to tell you you're wrong."

Serif

305857/305857

"I heard about that." Serif replied "In a way we're kind of similar. Except Merrilee doesn't even know, and I can't get the courage to tell her..."

"Guess real Love isn't as simple as those Dating Sims make them out to be... huh?" RED said a bit upset as she looked down at her own feet.

"I heard about that." Serif replied "In a way we're kind of similar. Except Merrilee doesn't even know, and I can't get the courage to tell her..."

"Really? Then why don't you tell her? You've mustered up the courage to tell the Tome of Gaminudstri... Then surly you can do the same for her..." Histoire advised Serif.

Merrilee blinked "'Dating sims'?" She asked, confused "What are those?"

Serif

305857/305857

"I don't know, I just... Whenever I try, I get all nervous and stuff. I can't ever manage to tell her anything about how I feel..." Serif told her.

 

[Phantom Thief of Hearts]

Merrilee blinked "'Dating sims'?" She asked, confused "What are those?"

"Dating games... you know video games... Or you don't have anything like that in your world?" RED tried to explain... she's bad at that.

"I don't know, I just... Whenever I try, I get all nervous and stuff. I can't ever manage to tell her anything about how I feel..." Serif told her.

"Well, I do advise you to also consider that if she does return your feelings... how would it affect her new friend..." Histoire warned Serif...

Merrilee shook her head "No, I have no idea what any of that is..."

Serif

305857/305857

Serif blinked, his eyed widened, and his heart stopped. He hadn't considered that. His whole world was suddenly crushed in front of him "Oh... Yeah..."

 

[Phantom Thief of Hearts]

Merrilee shook her head "No, I have no idea what any of that is..."

"Then I guess it's not important then... But let's try figuring out how this love thing works... together..." RED gave a small smile.

Serif blinked, his eyed widened, and his heart stopped. He hadn't considered that. His whole world was suddenly crushed in front of him "Oh... Yeah..."

"I didn't mean to make this more complicated for you..."

Merrilee giggled, and nodded "I'll help you however I can. I have a lot of experience with it."

Serif

305857/305857

"No, that's... You didn't make it more complicated..." Serif said, his head low as he turned around "Thanks..." He told her, before floating away.

 

[Phantom Thief of Hearts]

Merrilee giggled, and nodded "I'll help you however I can. I have a lot of experience with it."

"Really?! You mean it!" RED exclaimed as she pulled Merrilee into a hug, "So... You still up for that Parfait?"

"No, that's... You didn't make it more complicated..." Serif said, his head low as he turned around "Thanks..." He told her, before floating away.

Histoire remained silent. All she could do is hope Serif could figure things out.

Merrilee giggled "Of course! That's what I do, what do you think I got all this stuff?" She asked, tapping the heart decoration on her choker necklace.

Serif

305857/305857

Serif continued wandering for a while. Eventually he ended up at Recettear, though Tear and Recette were away at the moment.

Merrilee giggled "Of course! That's what I do, what do you think I got all this stuff?" She asked, tapping the heart decoration on her choker necklace.

​

RED was at awe, "You're so cool!"

Serif continued wandering for a while. Eventually he ended up at Recettear, though Tear and Recette were away at the moment.

Neptune was there waiting for the store to open, "Jeez... why is it when you need a store they're always out for lunch of something like that!"

"Aw, thanks." Merrilee replied, smiling at her.

Serif

305857/305857

Serif looked up "Oh, hey, it's Neptune." He said, trying not to look forlorn. It didn't work very well, though.

 

[Phantom Thief of Hearts]

"Aw, thanks." Merrilee replied, smiling at her.

​

"So... uh... since we're going to stick to this... one wifey plan... could you be..." RED stammered committing to one wifey was hard for the young girl.

Serif looked up "Oh, hey, it's Neptune." He said, trying not to look forlorn. It didn't work very well, though.

"Hey! Uh Blue dude! What's up! And what got you so down in the dumps lately?" Neptune asked while still being her cheerful self.

Merrilee blinked "Really?" She asked, surprised "Even though I'll probably go back to my own world eventually?"

Serif

305857/305857

Serif sighed "I screwed up. Really bad." He told her.

 

[Phantom Thief of Hearts]

Merrilee blinked "Really?" She asked, surprised "Even though I'll probably go back to my own world eventually?"

​

"Yeah! You're like the only one who even gets me here... So... Merrilee..." RED exclaimed as she clasped Merrilee's hands.

Serif sighed "I screwed up. Really bad." He told her.

"Oh boy... what did you do?" Neptune sighed as she was hoping to help Serif out.

"Well, if you'd like, I'd love to!" Merrilee replied, smiling.

Serif

305857/305857

"I was a coward... I've liked Merrilee for the longest time, but now I'll never have the chance..." Serif told her, sitting against the wall of the building "Red's making off with her, and I can't do anything about it..."

 

[Phantom Thief of Hearts]

"Well, if you'd like, I'd love to!" Merrilee replied, smiling.

​

RED teared up a bit she was overwhelmed with emotions... RED pulled Merrilee in for another hug.

"I was a coward... I've liked Merrilee for the longest time, but now I'll never have the chance..." Serif told her, sitting against the wall of the building "Red's making off with her, and I can't do anything about it..."

"Ouch... That's gotta hit you somewhere in the ol' figurative heart..." Neptune patted Serif's shoulder.

Merrilee hugged Red back, letting her hug for as long as she wanted to.

Serif

305857/305857

Serif nodded "That's putting it a little lightly... Worst part about it is that it's really all my fault for waiting so long..."

 

[Phantom Thief of Hearts]

Merrilee hugged Red back, letting her hug for as long as she wanted to.

​

"Merrilee... I love you..." RED whispered.

Serif nodded "That's putting it a little lightly... Worst part about it is that it's really all my fault for waiting so long..."

"Well don't you worry... I'm sure with all the female characters that keep showing up here... you could find another girl! You're still young, kid! You've got a long life ahead and who knows... maybe the perfect girl's going be there waiting for you!" Neptune explained in hopes of cheering Serif up.

@theManCalledSting


Merrilee giggled a little bit, blushing "I'm flattered..."

Serif

305857/305857

Serif looked up at Neptune, looking a little bit skeptical "Really? You think there'll be someone like Merrilee out there? Who'll be willing to be with an Eidolon?"

 

[Phantom Thief of Hearts]

Merrilee giggled a little bit, blushing "I'm flattered..."

​

"So... Is that a Yes?"

Serif looked up at Neptune, looking a little bit skeptical "Really? You think there'll be someone like Merrilee out there? Who'll be willing to be with an Eidolon?"

"Well duh! You're so wrapped up with Merrilee that you're ignoring the fact there's tons of fishes like her in the sea... You're going to find her... Just you wait!"
