"And over here is the cafeteria, they get some really good food here! And the prices are pretty reasonable too, how about we have lunch here after we finish the tour?" Aria suggested with a smile.

"Sure, sounds good. On another note, uh...a lot of people are staring at me," I remarked in bemusement.

"Well, you are pretty famous now, your participation in the HCC is all anyone's talking about these days. Plus, we don't get a lot of guys around here, that might be a small part of it too," She pointed out.

"Yeah, true. Doesn't look like any of them are going to try and start any trouble, at least," I replied, a few of the women averting their gazes as I glanced around.

"The Guildmaster held a meeting a few days ago, warning everyone that there would be zero tolerance towards any antagonizing of our male members, so I wouldn't worry too much about that," She informed me.

"I see. I had her add a term to my contract stating that I can leave the Guild with no repercussions if I'm mistreated by members of the Guild, so I can always just walk out if it comes to it."

"Oh, I definitely don't want that. Don't worry, if anyone's mean to you, I'll put them in their place!" She declared with a determined look in her eyes.

"Thanks, I appreciate that...but as you know, I can take care of myself," I smiled, patting her head.

"H-Hey, not in front of people..."

"Sorry, my bad," I grinned sheepishly, taking my hand off her head before glancing to my left as I heard footsteps approaching.

It was a young woman, she looked like she was in her mid-twenties or so, and she had an anxious look on her face.

"Um, hi...I saw you in the HCC, and um, I'm a fan. Could I get a selfie with you, if that's okay?" She requested with a nervous smile.

"Oh, uh...sure, that's fine," I nodded, before staring in bemusement as she stepped towards me and latched around my arm.

Her chest was pressing against my elbow as she raised her arm, taking a picture with her I-Watch.

Nice, she's pretty voluptuous, this is quite the pleasant sensation. Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good about my decision to join the Diva Guild right now.

"Thank you so much, I appreciate it!"

"No problem."

"Wait, if you're here, does that mean...you're going to be joining our Guild?" She asked me.

"Yeah, that's right," I nodded in response.

"That's awesome! I'll see you around, thanks again!" She smiled as she walked away with a wave.

She's pretty cute, hope I get to see more of her after I start-...hm?

"What's up with you? All good?" I inquired as I glanced at Aria, who was giving me a narrowed side-glance.

"I'm fine," She responded with a slight huff.

"Well, that's convincing."

"Whatever, you've seen the cafeteria, so there's no reason to stick around here any longer. Come on, let's go somewhere else," She muttered, before I followed after her as she promptly headed out of the cafeteria.

Wait, is she jealous or something?

<Given the context and timing of her reaction, I would say so>

"What, you wanna get a selfie with me too?" I inquired with a smile.

"H-Huh? I-I don't know what you're talking about! That didn't bother me at all!"

"What didn't?" I responded, playing dumb.

"I-I, uh...," She trailed off, averting her gaze as her face turned red.

"You know, come to think of it, we've never taken a pic together, have we?" I mused thoughtfully.

"Well, if you're that insistent, I suppose I have no choice," She replied, shuffling closer towards me, glancing hesitantly at my arm.

Looks like she's trying not to be too obvious. In that case...

She let out a slight, surprised squeal as I reached out and draped my arm around her shoulders, pulling her closer towards me before taking a selfie as I held up my I-Watch.

"Nice, this turned out great," I remarked as I let go of her and checked out the pic, adding as I showed it to her, "Check it out, your face is super red."

"Wha...?! No, delete that one, let's take another one!" She protested indignantly.

"Sure, I don't mind taking another one. But I'm not deleting this one, it's too good to go to waste. Oh, maybe I'll set it as my wallpaper," I smirked teasingly.

"H-Hey, I already told you not to tease me like that..."

"Relax, I was kidding...about setting it as my wallpaper anyway, but no way I'm deleting it," I grinned, poking her cheek playfully as she pouted in response.

"Fine, do what you want!" She huffed as she smacked my arm lightly.

"Mhm, I will."

"Okay, now let's take another one already," She remarked, before latching onto my arm, pressing her chest against my bicep.

Thank you, random girl in the cafeteria, this wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for you.

"Alright, here I go-...," I began as I raised my arm.

"H-Huh? Wait! Is that me? Wh-What's with that look on my face?! H-Hang on, I need a sec," She stuttered, before taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling, repeating the process a couple of times, the redness across her cheeks slowly fading as she composed herself.

"I don't see the problem, you look like that pretty often," I informed her.

"I-I do? How embarrassing..."

Okay, maybe I'm teasing her a bit too much, I'm starting to feel bad.

"Hey, just relax. You don't need to feel self-conscious or anything around me, I'm certainly not going to judge you," I assured her with a smile.

"Okay...thanks, Kai. Now, go on, take the picture," She smiled, the tension in her shoulders easing as she relaxed.

She was still latched onto my arm, but she wasn't pressing her chest against me anymore.

As I began trying to get us in frame in my I-Watch display, she suddenly caught me off-guard as she slid her hand down my arm and laced her fingers between mine.

"What's wrong?" She smiled teasingly, her cheeks reddening slightly as she met my gaze.

She looks like she's struggling to maintain eye contact, she's trying to get me flustered but couldn't avoid flustering herself in the process.

"Fuck, you're cute," I sighed as I took the picture, before quickly taking another one as her cheeks flushed deeply.

"H-Huh? No, not again, delete that!"
