[A/N: This chapter is awesome and important. Skippers, please read it until it starts getting * at the very least.]

"Oh…." Helix muttered while scratching the back of his head awkwardly.

The young women looked at Helix with confessed expressions.

"There are four rooms, but they're not furnished because I rented this place today." He chuckled nervously.

"But… I was wondering if…."

Charlotte's eyes light up with madness and excitement.

After seeing her expression, Marie's eyes trembled with anticipation.

"You know… uh…."

Helix sighed and hung his head in defeat.

He lifted his head and gave them a truly pathetic smile.

"You want to sleep in the same bed?

I don't know if you—"

"Well, yeah. Obvi!" Charlotte exclaimed.

Marie's face flushed with embarrassment, and she lifted her hand to her mouth.

"I… would like that. If it's okay with you." She replied bashfully.

"I'll gladly take you up on that offer." Riley added with a gentle smile.

Helix's heart felt like it might explode with happiness.

He sighed in satisfaction and gave them a hopeless smile.

"Well, then. Let's go see our room." He replied.

The three women looked at each other with wonder in their eyes.

Helix led the three up the staircase to the master bedroom.

Then he stopped before the doorway and narrowed his eyes in thought.

"Is everything okay, Hellie?" Charlotte asked.

Helix turned to her and gave her a mysterious smile.

"Yeah. Just… give me a moment." He requested.

"Close your eyes and walk in when I'm ready."

The women looked at each other with curiosity and thrill.

"Okay!" Marie replied and closed her eyes.

Riley closed her eyes instantly, and Charlotte shrugged and followed suit.

Ticker turned to everyone in confusion but quickly lost interest.

Helix walked into the room and closed his eyes.

"What does Marie like…." He whispered to himself.

"Charlotte's tastes are too specific, and Riley….

I hope she'll open up more…."

After a moment of contemplation, he set to work.

Helix opened the door after a few minutes.

"Come on. Let's see your new room." He requested with a bright smile.

The women's eyes lit up in excitement, and they quickly moved to the door.

However, the moment Charlotte entered, she froze.

"Charlotte… Why are you standing there?" Marie huffed.

"Is that… a pond in there?" Riley asked in confusion.

Charlotte moved away from the doorway in a trance to let the others pass.

However, when Marie walked to the doorway, she too became frozen.

"Um… Marie. Can I come in, too?" Riley asked sweetly.

Riley was usually patient to a fault, but she was too excited.

Marie nodded in a trance and walked in.

When Riley walked in, she understood the confusion.

"Hellie… what… the hell is this?" Charlotte asked.

Helix walked into the room and turned to face them.

"Welcome to my [Nightmare]." He said with a mysterious smile and a bow.

The master bedroom was only a 12 by 12 square foot room with a closet.

However, the women walked into a forest that stretched as far as the eye could see.

A gold and pink butterfly fluttered lightly and landed on Tinker's nose.

The little pup stared at the creature with bewilderment before sneezing.

The room erupted into laughter.

After the moment, Marie's eyes lit up with wonder and fascination.

The gold and pink butterflies had pink wings but lit up like fireflies.

She reached out her hand, and one of them gently fluttered to rest on it.

Charlotte was gazing at the beautiful waterfall that was roaring in the room.

"Helix… did you say… this what your Nightmare?

Did you summon this?" Riley asked in awe.

The other two looked to him for an explanation as well.

Helix shook his head with a mysterious smile.

"My Nightmare creates illusions." He announced.

The women's eyes widened with shock.

"No way…." Charlotte gasped before bursting into a grin.

"It's a bit more complicated than that." Helix chuckled.

"But enjoy this for the next four to five minutes.

After that, I'll need to cut it off.

Don't journey too far.

I'm sad to say this, but it's a normal bedroom."

Marie stared at him with amazement before staring at the intricacy of the butterfly.

Charlotte was captivated by the waterfall and its sounds.

She reached out her hand to touch it.

The water reacted to her hand as normal water would, and the sound matched.

The only thing that was missing was the feeling of water.

Anyone watching her wouldn't know it wasn't real.

It was mind-bending.

When she moved her hand away, she was mesmerized that the water droplets remained on her skin.

After staring at them, she developed a devious grin.

"Oh, Helix~" Charlotte called out with a flirtatious tone.

Helix turned to her.

"Yes?" He asked.

"It's been a long trip. Is it okay if I wash up before bed?" She asked casually.

"Of course. Do you know where to go?" He asked.

"Yup! Don't worry about that." She replied.

Helix nodded with a gentle smile before turning back to Marie.

She was criminally cute playing with the butterflies he made for her.

It made him feel good since he had designed them with his imagination only minutes before.

"Helix…." She whispered in awe.

"Yes?" He asked with a gentle smile.

"What is this butterfly called?"

Helix leaned in close to whisper into her ear, causing her face to heat up.

"It's called Fairy Marie."

Marie turned to him with narrowed eyes and puffed out her cheeks.

Helix chuckled, grabbed her hips, and leaned in again.

"These butterflies don't exist. I made them for you." He whispered.

Marie's eyes trembled with confusion.

She felt overwhelming emotions flood over her.

Helix smiled and leaned in one more time.

"I made this entire paradise for you tonight." He added with a gentle voice.

"Until I do something special for the others, this will be our secret, okay?"

Marie's eyes sparkled, and tears of happiness overwhelmed her.

"Oh, lover~boy." Charlotte called out playfully.

"Don't forget about the rest of us."

Helix turned around to send a warm gaze to Charlotte.

However, his heart immediately began racing.

Marie turned to see what his reaction was for.

"Charlotte!" She cried.

"What~?" Charlotte chimed.

The sight before him was hypnotizing.

Water poured down Charlotte's shoulders and gilded down her spine.

He followed the water until it landed on her white panties.

Helix's heart started racing.

She had stripped into her underwear and was bathing in the waterfall.

"Charlotte… this illusion…." Riley gasped in shock.

"Hmmm? What is it?" Charlotte asked with an evil grin.

"No…." Marie whispered.

Charlotte's white panties were soaked, and he could see [her] skin on the other side.

It was uncertain whether the Myriad Record was recreating her real skin as it did with [Nightmare].

However, his blood was on fire seeing her nearly naked body.

Marie studied Helix's expressions.

He was clearly captivated and interested in the sight at a glance.

Unwilling to be undone, she tugged his sleeve.

"Ummm…." She whispered with a bashful expression.

"Would you like to join her?" Helix asked in surprise.

Marie nodded with an embarrassed face.

"There are only a couple minutes, but I'd… be shamefully captivated and at your mercy if you joined." He responded with a pathetic smile.

Marie's eyes lit up, and she quickly turned to face Charlotte.

The young woman took sidelong glances at Helix and soaked up the attention.

Marie resolved herself and pulled the straps of her pink and white flower sundress off her shoulders.

Then she pulled the dress over her breasts and pushed it to the floor.

She didn't want to miss out because of the time limit.

Helix stared at her heavenly pale body with a racing heart.

She was wearing her light pink panties he loved.

He didn't feel like it was a coincidence.

Marie rushed over to the waterfall, where Charlotte was waiting with a mocking smile.

She huffed at the seductive woman and tested out the water.

She was spellbound when she saw, heard, and experienced the water crashing against her skin.

Like Charlotte, she was shocked to experience everything—except for touch.

"Riiiiiiight?" Charlotte asked.

Marrie gave her a bewildered expression.

She was about to turn back to Helix before remembering the time limit.

Thankfully, the water wasn't cold, so she walked into it without hesitation.

Her hair became soaked in an instant.

"It's crazy… isn't it?" Charlotte asked.

"You become part of the illusion when you experience it."

Marie nodded with amazement.

"All~so…. You're about to thank me for this in a second." Charlotte declared with a devious grin.

Without warning, she lightly grabbed Marie's wet breasts.

"W-What are you doing!" Marie exclaimed with embarrassment.

Helix stared at the scene with blood rushing to every part of his body.

When Marie jumped, she turned, and now he was seeing her entire body.

Her arms were covering her chest, but Charlotte was tickling her.

"Charlotte! What are you doing?" She cried.

"Look at Hellie." Charlotte whispered.

Marie looked at Helix and found that the scene hypnotized him.

She blushed.

"I-I see. Then what do I do?" Marie asked with an embarrassed expression.

"You grab mine too, dummy!" Charlotte exclaimed.

Marie thought about it hesitantly.

As she was about to do it, her face turned bright right.

"C-Charlotte…." Marie gasped.

"Woah, what are you hung up about?" Charlotte asked in confusion.

Charlotte turned to Helix to see if he was why Marie was squirming.

However, she was wrong.

Very wrong.

Charlotte followed his shame-filled eyes to her chest.

There wasn't much time, so no one had explained to her that her clothing was transparent.

So she was standing in front of him in her white panties, and he could see her pink nipples poking out.

Charlotte's face turned bright red.

However, she didn't panic because she was one to play things off.

"Mighty perverted illusion you got here, Hellie…." Charlotte called out with a wicked grin.
