Reborn as an Evolving Space Monster: Harem Of Otherworldly Beauties-Chapter 342: Karaoke

Everyone stood around as Cero gave the performance of a lifetime.

Once the song was over, the holographic screen started loading and,

"Wahahaha!"

"What was that?!"

"His voice is too deep for that song!"

"Shouldn't he choose a song he knows in the first place?"

"I know, right? He just…"

The gangsters' words tailed off. Their laughs and chuckles stopped at once.

Their bodies froze in place as they realized their mistakes.

"Are you…" Kris asked, his eyes and voice cold enough to freeze the Red Dragon members. "Making fun of my friend?"

They gulped, completely unable to come up with a suitable answer.

"It's alright." Cero chuckled as he placed the microphone down and took a seat next to Liz. "They're right anyways."

"I think you were great." Liz muttered, her hand against his arm. "But it's true, they were making fun of the Young Heir's friend."

"They were, weren't they?" Kris continued staring at them, not even turning towards Liz and Cero. "Laughing at my friend… What do you think should be their punishment, Cero?"

Silent seconds passed. The Red Dragon members felt wrinkles start to riddle their skin. The silence definitely did not feel like it had only lasted mere seconds.

"Kowtow one hundred times." Cero answered. 'Wait, that might be racist…'

"One hundred times? Sounds a little low to me." Kris muttered.

Liz scratched her cheek, feeling a bit awkward.

"What do you think?" Cero asked her.

"Hmmm…" Liz thought for a moment. "How about you make them sing?"

Kris's lips slowly curled upwards.

Kris had taken a seat next to Cero and Liz preceding the performances.

"How did they do worse than me?" Cero muttered, genuinely confused.

"Don't you gals know the songs you selected?" Kris asked, covering his mouth with a hand so as not to laugh out loud.

"Yeah, what's your excuse?" Liz chuckled.

"W-We're drunk, that's why it's…"

"Get out." Kris ordered. "Only those with a score above 40 can stay."

'Safe.' Cero sighed internally, having scored one point over the limit.

Just when the Red Dragon members were about to leave, one of them turned around, and the others did the same.

"Um…" Kris coughed. "Liz is exempted."

"No, she isn't."

"Cero?"

"She isn't exempted." Cero said with a smile. "It's your turn, Liz."

"Oh, no. Singing really isn't for me. It's really…"

Liz's words trailed off as her body was raised off the couch.

"Please, no…" She begged as Cero walked while holding her in his arms.

Liz was deposited right in front of the microphone.

Pouting, it took her a couple of seconds to grab the microphone.

[Score: 74/100.]

"Oh…" Liz was the one most shocked by the result. "Yey." She sighed and gained back her seat next to Cero. "The bad singers can go." Liz gestured with a hand.

"There's still one person left…" Cero whispered, looking away.

Kris smirked and got on his feet.

"Alright, then."

[Score: 86/100.]

"The Young Heir has such a nice voice…"

"His voice is so soft and…"

"Get out." The Young Heir ordered with a frown.

"Y-Yes!"

The door closed behind them. Only Kris, Cero, and Liz remained.

"Hahahaha." Kris laughed as he let his body fall on the couch. "I feel more comfortable already with them gone."

"I-I can go too, if you want."

"Oh, no. You're fine." Kris nodded. "I wouldn't want Cero to be mad at me for separating him from his girlfriend."

"...!"

"So you know…" Cero muttered, scratching his cheek.

"Huh? Of course, I know! Why do you sound surprised?"

"I don't know." He shrugged. "By the way, she isn't my girlfriend, she's my wif-"

"I-I-I'll go get something to drink." The blushing Liz suddenly stood up and walked out.

Kris and Cero were left alone.

"Hehehehe…"

"Why are you laughing so sinisterly?"

"Noooothing." Kris smiled, relaxing back into the couch.

"Hm…"

"We've never really talked about girls, have we?"

"Not really." Cero shrugged. "Do you want to?"

Kris smiled cheekily while remaining silent.

"I guess you do." Cero sighed.

"I know about Rea, too."

"You do?"

"Yeah." Kris nodded, rather proud of himself. "She started crying, that time… You know, when Liz…"

"I know."

"She said that you were pulling lovey-dovey stuff on her." He whispered, eyebrows moving up and down. "Took me a while to remember that since the situation was… Stressful."

"Hm…"

"So, Liz and Rea, huh?" Kris placed his elbows on the table, head resting in his hands.

"You're not going to ask me who I like more, are you?"

"Hahahaha! Of course not!" Kris laughed while scratching his head. 'I was totally about to ask that!'

Cero frowned for a moment, which caused Kris to cough.

"So um, do they know?"

"About…?"

"Yeah." Kris nodded. "Do they?"

"They do." Cero answered.

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"You're joking."

"I'm not."

"You're joking!"

"I am not."

"So they know that you're dating both of them, and they're still… Wait, have you… Um… Uh… You know?"

"Consummated the relationship?"

"Yeah!"

"Yeah, we have."

"With Rea or Liz?"

"With both."

"Eyo…"

"Are you shocked by it? You're not going to call me a whore, are you?"

"Oh, no. I would never do that. It's not like they're people you only met the night before. There's history and all. Plus, you know… Actually, it's quite romantic. The fact that there's more than one is…"

"Is…?"

"Progressive." Kris said with a smirk.

"I'll take it." Cero shrugged. "It is romantic, isn't it? The foreigner fighting for Wor after falling in love… Fighting alongside…" He quickly shook his head, noticing that he was being pulled into the Boy(Girl) Talk.

"Anyone else?"

"Ha?"

"Is it just Rea and Liz?"

"Well…"

"Lith?"

"Yeah."

"Raya?"

"... Yeah." Cero admitted after a moment.

"Roka?"

"... No."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I mean, no. Well, yes really, no."

"...?"

"No, not Roka."

"You were so close to a perfect score." Kris whispered, shaking his head, feigning disappointment.

"I mean… It's not too late."

"Nahahahaha!" Kris laughed out loud, slapping with couch repeatedly. "Good for you, Cero! I don't usually buy into these things, but in this matter… Fuck the matriarchy!"

"Hm…?"

Kris started walking closer.

"I'm so proud of you." He said solemnly as he laid a hand on Cero's shoulder. "Making a Reverse Harem in this day and age."

It took a moment for Cero's brain to register.

"Um, right… Yeah, thanks."
