"It failed? How? Didn't you successfully create the card?" Jill was surprised by the boy's answer.

"I did create the card I was aiming for but the result did not turn out to be what I wanted," I explained heading back to the base avoiding eye contact with Jill.

"Oh, what happened? Let big sister help you," Jill offered her help.

"Big sister?" I stopped on my track and turned to look at Jill with a grossed out expression. I mean just this morning my tool cleaned her pipes.

"It sounded right in my mind but when I said it out loud I heard it non the less all I am trying to say is you have a A1 morningstar researcher at your hands, you might as well make the most of it," Now, Jill just seemed to be pushing the boy to ask her for help.

"You don't say," I looked at Jill with a playful smile and said, "You know what Jill, I think you are right, I should indeed make the most of the resources I got."

"Okay, so how can I help you?" Jill asked the boy enthusiastically. Now was her time to show the boy that he needed her around.

"Miss A1 researcher, could you help me understand why the soul energy lost by the dungeon relocation apparatus created a artificial soul energy vein and not just dissipate in the surrounding, like the thermal energy does when you boil water," As I asked this question, Jill enthused smile froze and grew quiet as she did not have the answer for this.

"Miss A1 researcher, do you want me to repeat my question?" I called out to Jill who tried various ways to elegantly put that she did not know why, but seeing the playful glint in the boy's eyes she realised that he was messing with knowing fully well that she did not know the answer for this.

Learning that the boy was just playing her, Jill's cheeks puffed up and she strode towards the wood in a fit of rage but then she turned around and came right up to the boy's face and pointing at his nose she yelled, "Just so you know, I take pride in what I do and I am celebrated for it. It might be boring but it keeps me going when I don't know all the answers. And I refuse to let know-it-all shitheads like you rub it on my face."

"Rub what on your face?" I asked Jill in confusion, not understanding what she was so furious about.

"Me not knowing that why the soul energy lost by the dungeon relocation apparatus gathers to form a artificial soul energy instead of dissipating in the surrounding like the thermal energy lost during boiling water," Jill explained and then felt dumb for saying it.

"Look, I am not going to tell you how you are supposed to feel or not feel but I think that the fact that you do not know the answers to everything bugs you is what makes you a good researcher and what you are celebrated for," I said while pulling Jill in to a hug and brushing her hair.

Hearing the boy Jill rested head on his chest and wrapping her arms around his waist she said, "Really? Well good and I think so too."

"So what was all that about?" I asked Jill, trying to understand why a smart and confident woman would suddenly start acting like a girl.

"Here's the thing, I want us to take what we here to the next step when we get out of here," Jill spoke her mind even though it made her vulnerable in front of the boy and then she immediately added, "I know you have girls outside, so I want to make the most of the time I have with you to show you that I am a better than the hoes you have waiting for you in the sky blossom city."

"Hoes, really?" I tilt my head down to look into Jill's eyes as I said this, as I was not comfortable by Jill calling Anna or Susan as hoes.

"I am not done sharing my embracing thoughts, do you mind?" Jill glared at the boy, seeing how he was more focused on the part of her calling his hoes hoes instead of her feelings for him.

"Yes, mistress please continue," Being glared at I acted submissive, knowing that it took a lot of courage for one to be emotionally vulnerable in front of another, especially in front of the one who you have a crush on particularly when you were someone as prideful as Jill.

"But no matter what I try you seem like you have everything under control and do not need me. Not to mention, you keep bringing up about leaving again and again as if spending time with me is suffocating you. It hurts when all I want to do is make you see me," Saying that embarrassed Jill buried her face in my chest.

'Now, what am I supposed to do?' I don't want to hurt Jill but I don't want to hurt Anna and Susan too. And, 'Why can't women take a hint when we say that we are not available? Not to forget, what happened to the part where we agreed to emotion free pure primal intercourse.'

"Wyatt, you are awfully quiet, say something," Jill asked

"What?" I knew what Jill wanted to say but I had to rip the bandaid off or atleast that's what I thought.

Jill lifted her head from my chest, let go of waist and glaring at me she said, "I pour feeling out and all you have to say to that is, 'What?' Oh my god, I am so embarrassed right now, I can't believe this is happening to me."

"Jill, listen to me, you agreed to casual sex,  you said no feelings would involved—" I tried to explained to Jill that from the start I was not perapred to accept her feeling for me but before I could finish she interrupted me yelling, "Are you calling me a slut? Get the hell out of my face…"
