Chapter 25: That's why they like movies so much!
After the movie ended, Max was forced to bring his headphones, for the twins reacted emotionally.
As Alice's heroine lost, she complained loudly, stomping on the floor. Surprisingly, Max saw Zamira's faint smile, which told him she had developed a liking for another heroine. This one won the protagonist's heart in the end.
Because of the movie's peculiar ending, Max couldn't ask his question.
The twins and he went through the evening routine before sleeping in their rooms.
And as the morning came, Max woke up without an alarm. He went out of his room and slowly went to the bathroom. Here, he saw Alice in her pajamas, standing in a sulky mood before the mirror.
Max rolled his eyes, not believing that these two would get so attached to the fiction. But perhaps, there was something in the movie that intrigued them?
"I'm coming in," Max announced his presence without waiting for a reply. He saw that Alice had just splashed water on her face, not doing anything else.
He silently extended his hand for the toothbrush, asking Alice a question while spreading toothpaste, "You can always watch a different movie. We also have harem movies, in case you didn't know."
In those movies, most heroines won a love, and they had their sweet time with the protagonist. A high-quality harem movie developed girls continuously, having them interact with each other as the story progressed.
Of course, some girls were still left behind for the plot reasons.
Alice glanced at him in a way akin to a glare. But in her eyes, it was more of a disappointment than anger.
She whispered, "Harem is everywhere. What's the point of watching fiction with it? It's more exciting to have one girl to root for. If my heroine won, I would've made you breakfast!
And my cooking is the best, you know?" Alice boasted differently than her usual self as her voice was weak, close to a whisper.
Max stared at her while brushing his teeth. He then spat, replying to her words, "I didn't give too much thought to it. So harem is the most common relationship in a big universe... If that's the case, I can see you two finding a new hobby in watching movies."
He brushed more.
Alice nodded, feeling better that he understood her, "We also don't have any movies in our world. I also didn't see those in other worlds, let alone The Tower. It's a new experience that my elder sister and I have taken a liking to."
"Grandpa was also shocked to see the technology," Max casually said while getting a new understanding of the fantasy worlds and their species.
In their case, the system was probably a blessing as it operated in every world. Of course, the flaw was that it didn't have functions as they had nothing similar to the internet.
Everything had to be done in person.
"You want to take a shower together?" Max glanced at Alice, whose voluptuous curves were barely suppressed by her pajama. Her ample chest made the shirt expose a little of her stomach, and her pants were akin to an additional thin layer of the skin due to her plump ass.
Alice intensely gazed at him, then smirked, "I don't want to!"
She wondered whether Max would press further or try anything else. But as he had neglected his flirting lessons, he acted like himself.
He wouldn't force himself, for he knew she had been enslaved for a long time.
Thus, Max simply smiled and nodded, leaving those words behind, "If that's what you want. We would've saved some time if we had taken a shower together. And as you are a water dragon, you might have a different way of cleaning yourself.
I am genuinely interested in you."
Alice stared at him as he left the bathroom. After the doors closed, she parted her lips, yet nothing came out. Her cheeks reddened, for she had been actually the one who had nothing as a reply.
And as he bluntly said he was interested in her, Alice's dragon instincts assessed Max as a potential male. Like her sister, Alice recalled Max's mana and how much impact it had on her.
He also accommodated her and her elder sister in his house nicely. She had more freedom than other slaves, even though Max hadn't considered her as one.
Of course, as Max had a copious amount of mana and his skills were limited by his imagination, Zamira and Alice knew he would be able to help them unlock their strength with his mana alone.
The game and the dungeons weren't their only solutions.
But as Max was also a quick-witted guy, he knew about it as well. He hadn't tried anything in this area, though. That was because he wanted to adventure with them until they genuinely fell in love with him.
And as he had taken a liking to the twins too, Max had an inkling he would reciprocate their feelings genuinely, not with just a lust.
Alice understood it more or less, her cheeks reddening as if the bathroom had gone on fire.
She turned around, taking off her clothes in haste. She immediately turned on the cold water, which splashed on her curves in abundance.
"Ah," A sweet moan escaped Alice's lips, for she needed this much cooling.

After Zamira took a shower, Max was the last to enter the bathroom.
He had already eaten breakfast and even watched the news, which was filled with the game world.
And as he finished his morning routine, Max gathered the twins in the kitchen. These two were munching cereals. Unsurprisingly, Alice made the most noise with her mouth and spoon.
Who else? Zamira? Of course not.
Max sat next to the red-haired girl, "I have a question about someone.
Do you know the player whose nickname was The Unbounded Explorer?"
The twins nearly choked on their breakfast.
Alice made the most sound as she hit her chest while trying to gulp down everything. Her elder sister took it without a visible reaction, slowly fixing her unsightly state.
Zamira looked into Max's eyes, "You must know him."
"Yeah," Max nodded.
Although Max's system had much information due to Mateo's adventures, Max had a reason to mention his grandpa's nickname.
And that was simply because he was his grandpa.
Zamira didn't know that. But she had a feeling that Max knew The Unbounded Explorer. After all, there were more prestigious figures in the world than him.
Zamira corrected her posture, starting her story with this unique sentence, "He was a monster."
