Sleeping with the Girls: Vol II, Chapter Nineteen

With Kunzite run off for the time being, it's time to take care of some rather mundane business. (With Luna's help of course.) A little gold makes for a lot of money, and a lot of money makes for excelent shopping. And shopping with a pragmatic catgirl can be an... Interesting experience. But in the midst of the SI's shopping spree, he realizes that when you pull something off by the skin of your teeth, you may just put your foot in your mouth. With all the stuff he knows, it only adds to the stress. Don't be surprised if he turns into a Basket Case.

Author's Note: The sheer amount of Google Earth, Google Maps, Wikipedia, and private corporate website research that went into this chapter should make the names and locations discussed her as accurate as physically possible without some kind of Wayback machine to do time travel. If ever you were a Geography geek, consider this a snapshot of a real city, as close as this author can get to going there.

Sleeping with the Girls: Vol II, Chapter Eighteen.

In World War II, there was a counter intelligence operation thrown at the Axis powers that involved the most absurd stunt pulled by a legitimate power since the historical use of the Trojan Horse. A lot of people reading it might think the move was insane. But it should be noted that the operation was a complete success.

Thus 'Operation Mincemeat' went down in history.

Back in the world of the story, the SI suspects that Hino knows a little more than he lets on about. But how much Hino really knows may just blow your mind. A constant reminder to the SI that even most idiotic seeming people can be rather smart when left to their own devices.

Perhaps these lessons could be applied liberally.

Sleeping With the Girls: Vol II, Chapter Seventeen

Finally out of Those Who Hunt Elves, and their Crazy World, the SI is awoken by the last thing you could have expected, himself. Trying to maintain 100% when you're running on sketchy amounts of sleep at best, while crossing worlds can not be the easiest task ever thought up. The usual day to day problems don't just go away. It just comes back at the least oportune moment. Like when you're trying to negotiate not being eviscerated by an old man because he found you with his Granddaughter...

So I ask you: How do you deal with Kitsamut's Revenge?

Sleeping With the Girls: Vol II, Chapter Fifteen

Sometimes we take things and we find we don't want them. Sometimes we throw them away; sometimes we give them back.

While having what feels like a phone conversation with Ayeka, the SI discovers that sometimes what is taken is more than should have ever been, but it cannot be given back. Dignity, respect, modesty. These things are not possessions that can be traded on a whim. As such, life has a strict No-Return Policy.

Life's not fair.

Sleeping With the Girls Vol II: Chapter Fourteen

The mashed up world of Those Who Hunt Elves is one huge Cross-World Puzzle to the SI. After showing of a little basic economics to a group who seemed to have missed it on the first pass, he decides to break for lunch in town. A little intuitiveness allows him to pick up a little intel that might prove useful later. Not only that, but Senbei's got more uses than you'd imagine. You have to wonder what the pint sized demon god does on his down time.

Sleeping with the Girls: Vol II, Chapter Thirteen

I cannot apologize for a chapter delay when the delay is to make sure that what I write comes out decent, if not coherent. Either way, three weeks, and its out.

While following the instructions given to him by Washu, the SI calmly reflects on the revelation Junpei left him with last chapter. Or at least, tries to between interruptions from Ritsuko. However in order to help Those Who Hunt Elves out a little bit, the SI applies his acute knowledge of their party in an almost facepalmingly obvious manner. Perhaps its All Part of the Plan, perhaps not. Maybe it's just payment while Junpei teaches those pressent How To Throw A Punch.
