A single glance was all it took for Mina and Mira to have one thought as if their minds were connected, being twins: that the cute blonde foreigner-looking girl wasn't just a friend to Jeff—and definitely not to Jess.

The way the girl clung to Jeff showed how much attention she was demanding from him, even more than a girlfriend normally demands from her boyfriend. The faint perverted grin on Jeff's face proved he was obviously lusting after the girl. And the jealous look in Jess's eyes, directed not at the girl but at Jeff, showed that she wanted the girl for herself.

"Explain it to us already," Mira said while desperately clinging to Jess's waist to restrain her and prevent her from leaving—or, to be exact, from running away.

"Who is that cute girl, Jess?" Mina added, doing the same as Mira, since restraining Jess completely was impossible even with both of them.

On the pretext that they needed to talk to her privately in the guest room about the details of her next photoshoot, Mira and Mina were able to isolate Jess. Still, simply questioning her wouldn't make Jess confess. Therefore, Mira and Mina were left with no choice but to take advantage of Jess's pushover personality.

—"Tell us, Jess… Is Jeff making a harem?"—

"Let go of me or else I'm really gonna punch both of you in the face!" Jess said, gripping Mira's face with her right hand and doing the same to Mina on her left.

—"NO!"—

Yet despite her strong grip that would surely leave a handprint on their faces, Mira and Mina refused to give up, enduring the pain until Jess gave up and they got what they wanted.

Regardless of Mira and Mina's nagging, Jess still refused to explain to them who Veena was and her relationship to Jeff and her—or, to be exact, tell them about Jeff's Harem × Yuri plan. After all, that would lead to something she feared: that Mira and Mina would want to be included in Jeff's harem.

Jess's agreement to Jeff's Harem × Yuri plan only included Veena and Nubia—the other girls Jeff loves—to be her girlfriends. So even if she cared for Mira and Mina, that didn't apply to them.

She already broke the third rule—that Jeff could only get intimate with the girls he loves—when she shared him with Mira and Mina during their limited foursome, and she knew she would break it again if her friends asked for it again.

On that note, if the four of them continued with their limited foursome, Jeff might start to have feelings for Mira and Mina. That way, the Harem x Yuri would also apply to them.

She wouldn't mind having Mira and Mina as her girlfriends, but for them to become Jeff's girlfriends as well was her concern: that Jeff's attention would be split among the five of them, or rather four, instead of just three.

Jess wanted as much attention as she could get from Jeff, and that was it. Still…

"If Jeff is making a harem, then let us in it as well," Mira begged, tightening her embrace around Jess's waist.

"We won't take as much of Jeff's time as you and that girl. We promise, Jess," Mina added, pleading as much as Mira.

"Shush it, pervert twins!" Jess snapped, smacking Mira and Mina strongly enough to cause bumps on their heads. Still, the twins endured the pain and tightened their embrace.

—"Please, Jess!"—

"At least give me some time to think!"

Back at the pre-party, after Mira and Mina let go of Jess with her promise to consider their request…

"Six girlfriends… munch…" Kris said, speaking with her mouth full of grilled beef.

"Aren't you a bit greedy… munch…" Marc added, snatching and stuffing the grilled pork as soon as Jeff placed it on the tray.

"You two, bastards." Jeff grumbled, getting annoyed at what Kris and Marc were doing.

"Since you're here in front of the grill, then at least cook your own meat!"

"You still owe us, idiot!"

"So hurry and cook us more meat!"

Guilty as he was for not telling them his plan to capture Dexter's men—dragging them and their girlfriends into trouble and getting Marc injured—Jeff at least complied with Kris and Marc's demands as he added more meat to the grill to be served for everyone's dinner.

Still, he couldn't get out of his mind what they had just said.

"What do you mean, six girlfriends and I'm being greedy?" Jeff said, seriously confused at what Kris and Marc meant.

"Want us to do a head count for you?"

Marc's suggestion was actually a threat, intending for Jess to hear what he said and would say. And that earned him a slap on the wound on his stomach, making him spit out the meat he was munching.

However, Kris's objection was only to Marc's threat, not his suggestion.

"Let's start with those who are already in your harem…" Kris whispered as he began the count.

Jess, Nubia, and Veena were obviously in Jeff's harem—or so Kris and Marc assumed. As for who the fourth and fifth were…

"Don't even try to lie to us that there's nothing going on with you and the twins," Marc said, glancing over his shoulder at Mira and Mina.

With how much Mira and Mina were pampering Veena as if trying to get close to her—or get what they wanted from her—and Jess looking annoyed at what they were doing, there was no way it didn't involve Jeff. Or so Kris and Marc thought.

In Jeff's defense, he didn't plan to add Mira and Mina to his harem. In fact, if the Returner Fantasy System didn't give him a quest that involved intimacy with them, he might not have agreed to the limited foursome even if it was Jess who approved it.

Still, he wouldn't deny that he indeed liked—not only the limited foursome—but the intimacy with Mira and Mina themselves.

Regardless, Jess had set the rules for the Harem × Yuri plan, and Jeff didn't plan on breaking his promise to her, much less hurting Jess and making her cry again.

But it wasn't like he could explain it that way to Kris and Marc. He wouldn't tell them the truth about Mira and Mina's Incest × Yuri relationship.

"You two can think what you want, just don't do anything stupid involving them," he said, trying to act like a considerate gentleman instead of an idiotic pervert, which only irritated Kris and Marc.

"Your face is pissing me off, bastard," Marc retorted, increasing the pace of his eating to get back at Jeff.

"You're the only one stupid here," Kris said, adding more marinated meat for Jeff to grill just so he would get busier and more tired.

"Enough, both of you!"

Despite Jeff's complaints, Kris and Marc continued bothering him along with the head count.

As for the sixth girl in Jeff's harem…

"So when, where, and how are you going to kill Liam to get Klea for yourself?"

Of course, Marc intended it as a joke, but seeing Jeff staring blankly as if seriously thinking about the question scared not only him but Kris as well.

Jeff wasn't exactly in love with Klea, but she was as important to him as Jess, Nubia, and Veena. He wouldn't deny that he was indeed prepared to kill Liam if that's what it would take to save Klea and change her fate, even if it meant hurting Klea in the process.

"I know we already have blood on our hands, but that doesn't mean you can just go on a purge as much as you want."

Kris's warning made Jeff aware of the dangerous aura emanating from him, so as not to worry the two of them, he at least tried to make a joke about it.

"If Klea wants, she could be my mistress," he said, laughing to show he wasn't serious.

Right then, a plastic bottle of soft drink landed straight on his face, causing its contents to spray all over the three of them—even on the grill and meat—as its cap came loose.

Kris and Marc didn't need to look back to know where that plastic bottle came from and who threw it. The murderous aura alone was enough for them to know how angry Jess was.

—Just how much of an idiot are you to say something that stupid?—

---

The night of Veena's pre-party celebration ended with Jeff explaining to Jess who Klea was and convincing her that what he said about having a mistress was nothing but a joke to boast to Kris and Marc.

Jeff was at least able to convince Jess, but as punishment, he was thrown out to sleep outside their tent while Jess and Veena slept together for the first time.

Refusing to suffer alone, Jeff dragged Kris and Marc out of their tents, and the three of them ended up sleeping on sleeping bags around the campfire.
