>"This really complicates things," Lorelei sighs. "If they find out that you and I are involved, that won't end well for either of us. I mean, I was -hoping- to help you as best as I could to take care of whatever trouble you'd found yourself in..." she says, taking my hand, "but now the best I can do is act in a support role."
>"Eh?" I stare at her. "You were actually planning on-"
>"Yes, I was," she nods. "since I was so worried about the cute boy who confessed his love for me. I wouldn't have agreed to enter a relationship with you if I didn't care about your safety, you know... I'm not -that- callous."


With her lips pursed into a cute pout that I've never seen her do before, Lorelei lifts her hand so that it's eye level and pokes me right in the middle of the forehead.

"Cut it out already," she says as her face slowly reddens. "Is what I said really that surprising?"

"Well... kind of?" I shrug. "I mean, I've known you for four years now and in that entire time you never seemed to really worry about much of anything."

And now she's glaring at me like she wants to hit me.

"I- I didn't mean it as an insult!" I blurt out while trying to think of a way to salvage this. "You always seem so carefree, that's all!"
"Carefree?" Lorelei's eyes narrow.
"Yeah," I nod. "That's, umm..." I look away. "That's actually one of the things that made me fall for you in the first place."

For four years now I've had my mother's condition and getting revenge on the bastard who put her in the hospital weighing on my mind. It's actually refreshing to see someone who doesn't seem to have any baggage at all.

"Well I'm sorry to disappoint you but I have -plenty- of things to worry about," Lorelei says with a long sigh.
"Really?"
"Yes," she replies, rolling her eyes at me. "For example, there's the matter of a certain boy who I've been keeping tabs on for the past four years."

she's talking about you

Yeah, I kind of figured that out.

"I'll admit that our second meeting was just on a lark," Lorelei says, her eyes filled with nostalgia. "Most people with aspirations of becoming a hero usually abandon such ideas soon after realizing what something like that would entail... but much to my surprise, -you-," she pokes me on the forehead again, "were actively searching out danger with no sign of stopping."
"Eheh..."
"And even though I found it absolutely adorable," she laughs, "I also felt responsible for putting you on that path to begin with."

Hello turtle, I brought you an autism

"Lorelei is responsible for putting me on this path."

That's my mother's number one go-to complaint whenever I get caught up in something particularly dangerous. And I'd always tell her that she's wrong since this is something that I literally ASKED for, but for Lorelei to feel the same way...

"So you've been worried about me ever since then?" I ask, looking right into her eyes.
"That's what I've been trying to say," Lorelei groans. "Every time I'd come into town and you'd tell me all about whatever violent criminals you'd most recently fought... or worse yet, some Branch holder whose Seed awakened when I wasn't around to warn you... at times like that, I would start to wonder if maybe the things that people say about me were actually true."

calm down there

no point in getting mad before you know what people are even saying about her

"That I'm a walking calamity," Lorelei replies. "That's what a certain member of the Tree of Life said about me and it's not an uncommon sentiment."

After taking a deep breath, Lorelei rises from her seat and begins pacing around.

"This might surprise you to hear," she says, "but I've been around for a -very- long time. And I've never been all that stingy about who I'll use my Branch when it suits me to... and needless to say, that kind of thing tends to add up over the years."

It, umm... it seems like anything that I could say in this situation would steer this conversation in a direction that wouldn't end well for me. So I think I'll just be a good boyfriend and keep my mouth shut for now.

"Back to what I was talking about before, though..." Lorelei says while she turns her back to me, "...I gave you your Branch on a whim, and then it turns out that you went on to risk your life as a direct result of my actions. So after that first time, I started to go out of my way to see how you were doing from time to time."

"So for the past few years, it was like I had a cute little brother figure," Lorelei says. "Even if all I was doing was listening to you go about your life, it was clear enough that being able to do so was helping you out."
"It really was," I nod.

Though I don't really hide anything from my mother, I obviously couldn't tell her about all the specifics of the fights I've been involved in over the years. And since Lorelei didn't seem to mind, I did kind of dump all that on her.

"And since I happen to be subject to the occasional bout of loneliness, I was just fine with that." Lorelei then twirls around, stopping when we're face-to-face. "But then a certain -someone- went and declared his love for me," Lorelei says. "and then stole a kiss..."

Lorelei's accusatory glare pierces right into me. But even so, it doesn't chance anything.

"I regret nothing," I say to her.

that's right

tell her what's what

"Of course you wouldn't," Lorelei says, crossing her arms just such that her breasts are lifted up. "But thanks to that, -I- didn't know what to do with myself for days on end." She takes a deep breath. "Do you have any idea how long it's been since the last time someone who I actually had an emotional attachment to hit me with something like that?" she asks.
"Uh..." all I can do is shrug.
"Probably not since your -grandparents- were children," she sighs. "Getting propositioned by strangers is nothing for me to dismiss, but your little stunt was something else."

A MILF is fine too.

I'm starting to feel kind of nervous. I mean I'm already nervous about being alone in a hotel with Lorelei but now it's getting even worse.

"You, uh..." I gulp. "...you don't regret it, do you?"
"What, accepting you affections?" Lorelei replies. "About as much as you regret hitting me with them in the first place."
"So not at all then."
"Exactly," she winks at me. "I've long since sorted my feelings and I have to admit that it's kind of nice to know that there's someone here who actually loves me," she says with a faint smile. "Besides, it's been a long time since the last romantic entanglement I've had and you've turned out to be -quite- the looker."
"Thanks, I guess..." I mumble as my cheeks become flushed.

But then something she said comes back to me.

"...wait," I hold up my hand. "you haven't had someone tell you that they love you since my GRANDPARENTS were kids?"
"Well that's just an estimation," Lorelei shrugs. "It was in the '30s though, that's for sure."

What.

"So you've been around since..." my eyes widen.
"For a very long time, yes," Lorelei nods. "Since before this country was a thing... even before the language we're speaking right now had developed."
"What!?" I gasp.

English has been a thing for like a thousand years, right? So that'd mean...

"But you look like you're in your 20s!" I say, pointing at her.

"...no," I shake my head, "I just never expected anything like that, is all. It is kind of a HUGE deal though."

"Really," I sigh."

C'mon man. Not cool.

"So now I bet you have all sorts of questions for me, don't you," Lorelei says.
"I dunno about 'all sorts,'" I reply, "but you do have me wondering about you after dropping a huge bomb like that."
"That's fair," she nods. "So what might those questions be? I have no issue with indulging you as long as you don't overdo it."

"Oh my!" she slaps her chest. "You actually think that I'm -that- old?"
"So that's a no," I shrug.
"Correct," she replies while trying to regain her composure. "Branch Holders have been around since before recorded history, and I'm not -that- old. Even the Tree of Life predates my birth."
"Oh," I nod.

"What, like an 'immortals club?'" she giggles.
"Not quite that lame-sounding," I mumble.
"Well I'm happy to say that there is no such thing," she shakes her head. "I only know a few people who were around before I was, and they're all far from pleasant to interact with."
"...oh."
"Those few people who have been around for a few centuries who I predate tend to not be so bad, but I still prefer not to associate with them too much," she says.

"...Aah!" I shout involuntarily as I remember something else that she said.
"What's the matter?" Lorelei asks.
"Before all this..." I fumble with my words. "You said that you got p... propo..."
"Oh, that?" she giggles. "It took you quite the while to pick up on that."

She's definitely enjoying this.

"As you know," Lorelei says, "I happen to be -quite- stunning."

As if to prove her point, she then cups her breasts in her hands and lifts them up.

"And a good number of the people who I've worked for in the past are on the sleazier side, they have no issues with asking me to do -things- with them in return for safety and comforts."
"......" My blood runs cold.
"No worries," she says, noticing my sudden change of demeanor, "even if I -was- the kind of girl to be tempted by the finer things in life, and I'm most definitely -not-, I don't have much of a sex drive anymore."
"Wha?"

Lorelei doubles over with laughter.

"You really should see the look on your face right now," she cackles.

After finally pulling herself back together, Lorelei walks over to where I'm seated and lowers herself onto my lap.

"What's the matter?" she asks as she makes herself comfortable.
"I, uh..." I desperately avoid eye contact (which is hard when she's inches away from my face), "...is that like a menopause because of how long you've lived?"
"Hm? I don't think it is?"
"Like... are you able to get pregnant?"

And then her mouth widens into a cruel, horrible smile.

"Joshua Schweitzer," Lorelei coos, "whyever would you ask me a question like that?"
"Well I mean-"
"Is it because impregnating me is something that you were hoping to do?" she asks, leaning in so close that I can feel her hot breath on my face. "Don't tell me that -that's- why you decided to visit me here at this hotel..."

Aaaaaagh you are no help whatsoever!

"O..." my voice cracks, "Only if you w-..." I freeze up. "Er, I mean... maybe?"
"'Maybe,' you say?" Lorelei giggles as she places her hand on my chest. "That's something else that hasn't been said to me in a very long time, you know," she says as she traces her hand lower and lower and lower until it's almost at the top of my jeans. "While I did say that I don't have much of a sex drive, teasing you like this is -very- exciting..."

"Whaa!" With her face beet-red. Lorelei jumps off my lap. "J- Joshua!? I know that sound is vibrations but I wasn't expecting you to jump right into-"
"TH- THAT WASN'T ME!" I shout, throwing my hands in the air. "I swear! It was just my phone!"

Exhaling all the air from her lungs, Lorelei drops to her knees.

"Oh," she says with a tired laugh. "it was your phone..."
"Ssssssorry," I stammer as I search my pocket for the stupid thing. "I'm so, so, so sorry..."

My phone. Never have I hated this thing more than I hate it right now. While glaring it with a glare of pure anger, I hit the screen far too hard and pull up the text message that completely destroyed the mood just now.

"..............." I grit my teeth.
"Joshua?" Her face still fully slushed, Lorelei looks up at me. "What's the matter?"
"Wallace," I growl so low that the windows begin rattling.

Even when he isn't around he still manages to ruin my fucking day.

"Your uncle?" Lorelei asks as she pushes herself back onto her feet. "Did something happen?"
"Dunno," I mutter as I open the message. "But this had better be worth it."

"Some chick with green hair just showed up looking for you," the message reads. "Seemed annoyed that you weren't around, said to meet her at the usual place. I thought I told you not to have girls over at my house."

what

green hair?


>how do I react?

>>44319933
We've established that anime hair color is nothing unusual in this world, ergo so far as we know it's just one of our random ass classmates.

Ignore it for now, fug Lorelei, then later ask Wallace if the girl left her name.

>>44319933
Drop fucking everything and go, we've spent a week cooped up in our house since we had someone die on us. Invite Lorelei as well, if she's down for it. We can bullshit some explanation along the way to explain two Synapses.

>>44319933
I am busy.

>>44319933
Probably just a coincidence, but we know only one person with green hair... let's check that just in case.

And don't bother responding to the message.

Backing.

Anything else feels metagameing as all hell.

>>44319950
That seems far too reasonable for this quest…

"Green hair..." I mumble to myself.
"Joshua?" Lorelei walks over to me and sits back on my lap. "Is something the matter?"
"...maybe," I reply.

I only know one person with green hair but she's dead. She died and I didn't even do anything to stop it.

"Damn it..." I place a hand to my forehead and take a couple of deep breaths.
"Are you going to be okay?" Lorelei asks.
"Yeah," I nod, "It's just... I dunno, maybe someone's playing a trick on me."
"A trick?" she rests her hand on my shoulder. "What, like a perfectly-timed prank to ruin things just as they were getting good?"

she can say that again

"My uncle said that someone showed up at my house looking for me," I say. "And he barely gave a description but what he said kind of matches..." I shake my head. "Damn it, now this is bothering me."
"Is there something I can do to help?" Lorelei asks.
"......I don't suppose you want to come with me to the church that those Tree of Life people I mentioned before were staying at."
"I most definitely do not," she replies.

Her look of concern shifts to one of annoyance as she lifts herself from my lap and begins pouting again.

"I am so freaking sorry," I groan while running my hands through my hair. "Believe me when I say that there's NOTHING that I want to do right now more than pick up where we left off, but..."
"Yes, I know," Lorelei says, heaving a sigh. "Duty calls."

The "chick with green hair" that Wallace so eloquently described might be Irene's mother or something... probably come to berate me for getting her daughter killed. Not that I don't deserve worse.

here we go again

instead of getting laid you willingly run into a situation that'll probably only make you even more depressed than you already are

Could you, maybe, in the future in case of ties just roll? I think you would get less grief, even if there are enough people who seem to actively search for things to be angry here.

I would manage it as best I could, unlike the usual situations you see in anime and manga. A yandere's main drive is to receive the love of their target so I'd make sure to tell her that hurting other people is the quickest way to ensure that I could never love her, etc.


>>44320707
>How does one have sex with a woman who is several thousand years old? Asking for a friend.
Appeal to her tastes, which have long since become skewed over her long lifetime.
lorelei isn't all that crazy about sex itself but she could kiss all day long

I’d say she answered but didn’t give much detail. I’d have hoped she would give some stronger hints as to how far her beef with the Tree goes, for example. Or if her number of friends is really zero.. Or if she knew something about the beginning of branches. She also completely avoided answering whether she can get pregnant.

Admittedly, she did answer us mostly. She just didn’t bother reading between the lines or giving background to the answers.
