『Felix Karl Grimm』
I woke up feeling like a thousand bucks. Felix Karl Grimm was a loser no longer baby!
Upon getting up I moved down to the kitchen, Giffany was busying herself studying more shards, quickhacks and technology to make herself into an even bigger threat than she already was so she only briefly greeted me before retreating into her data dimension.
After my coffee was done brewing, I opened my fridge and took out the Nutri Packets, they tasted like slightly sweet water jelly but kept a man fed for around 10 hours and had all of the nutrients needs met. Even if they were a bit expensive, I preferred them.
Anything to not have to eat the shitty fucking food of this city. Maybe I go out to get some real real food and "Real Food" from a Corpo Plaza restaurant? I definitely have the money for it, maybe I invite Rebecca along for the ride?
Speaking of Rebecca, I opened my agent while sipping on my packets and saw a message from Rebecca, uncharacteristically apologizing for stopping our outing short by puking all over the floor. The way she texted was cute. I didn't think she'd actually worry about my opinion. But it felt nice.
She also invited me to go out and meet her team properly and maybe run a job which I contemplated.
Meeting Maine was something I looked forward to considering the man was teetering on the edge of Cyberpsychosis. But I guess it would still be rather novel, and if anything I'd do it at least for the feats.
Speaking of feats...

[Harem Lord]
|Uncommon Trait|
You are an aspiring harem enthusiast. Potential partners and society as a whole mind you having a harem a lot less, it still won't be easy building your harem of beauties, but it will be a lot less of a hassle.
or
[Poseidons Kiss]
|Uncommon Trait|
You are blessed by the god of the seas Poseidon, you move underwater as naturally as you would above water, in addition, all mundane aquatic life is friendly to you.
I chose Harem lord.
Fuck you, you can't judge me.
I don't like water alright? And it's not like you go underwater a lot in the multiverse, it doesn't say I can breathe underwater either, fish are creepy and-
Okay enough coping, I just want a harem, sue me.
What? I have the entire Multiverse ahead of me, it would be very difficult to keep relationship with a single partner. And I don't want to worry about betrayal of their feelings and stuff like that.
To see a banquet in front of you and only picking a single morsel to be satisfied with is not temperance, it's asceticism.
I stretched my back and groaned after confirming the trait but feeling nothing change. Though it wasn't like anything changed when I picked Lese Majeste either.
Alright, with that out of the way, might as well meet Rebecca's team, and the maine man himself, Maine.
But before I headed out, I got a call from a familiar face. When I pressed open call, the hologram of a man with a terrible haircut appeared before me.
"Hey Grimm, got you that car I promised you, preem condition, installed bulletproof windows, plating, the whole shebang, you can drive that baby through a warzone with the paint still on. Gotta say, that's one car nobody will laugh at. You've got good taste."
Capitan called me with a bright smile on his face. And the news he gave out made me perk up, it costed quite a lot, but that car would be worth it. I could not resist buying it after coming to this world. It was my favorite car after all.
"Thanks Capitan, I'll drive her with care."
He barked out a laugh.
"I don't think you'll need to choom, if you hit something, they are going to be ones crying with that armor on. I had one of my men deliver to your apartment garage. Still, make sure to keep it clean and shiny. See you later Grimm."
With that Capitan closed the call and I got up to inspect my new car.
"Giffany, wanna come with? I don't know anything about driving cars, so I'd appreciate it if you could help me."
Without a second passing, a bolt of electricity jumped from one of the sockets and into my agent with Giffany waving at me excitedly.
"Of course my Boyfriend! Lead the way, in the meantime let me try to figure out some things."
With Giffany in tow, I went down to the garage and saw my car for the first time.
"Wow, that's one hell of a car."
In front of my eyes was a parked pristine Herrera Outlaw, a custom order made with Capitan's connections, bulletproof, off-road capabilities and incredible handling. It was a car that would make any car guy fall to his knees ejaculating.
In a single moment Giffany jumped from my phone and into the car, it's CrystalCoat coloring turned into light pink as it came to life and moved out of park by itself before backup up in front of me perfectly with the doors swinging open.
Was this how being a king felt like?
I got into the car, the inside was luxury limousine actual cushioning that felt as good as my sofa at home. Truly, the comfort of a limo with the armor of a combat vehicle.
"This car certainly has good specs! That Capitan knows his cars, even if he doesn't know any barbers. Its internal computer is even better than your agent! It has has its own self drive function, but it's quite primitive, I should be able to make a Demon to replace it in a few hours."
As always, the benefits of having your own AI gf were impossible to ignore.
"Thanks Giffany, you're the best. Now, mind driving me to the place Rebecca sent me?"
"Of course my boyfriend! Sit back and relax, Race Queen Giffany is in house now. There is no traffic that stop me!"
How charming.
✧―✧―✧―✧「」✧―✧―✧―✧
I left the car with trembling footsteps and a newfound fear in my heart.
When Giffany said no traffic would stop her, she meant it.
You ever wondered how it feels to go at 130mph down the regular road while weaving between cars with only centimeter gaps?
Well shouldn't. It's not fun.
I'm pretty sure my asshole is just permanently clenched now.
I made sure to tell Giffany to slow down next time and focus on a comfortable but decently fast ride from now on.
Not a single gunfight I have been in made me fear for my life like that.
I reached the modified warehouse I dropped Rebecca off at again and walked in, knocking on the door.
"Come in."
A gruff deep voice rumbled from behind the door, shrugging my shoulders, I opened the door and entered inside. Immediately I was met with...
"Woah! Rebecca, that's your input!? The boy looks like a babe! Ahahahaah!"
"Shut the fuck up dumbass! I'll plant a hole in your fucking skull if you keep talking shit like that!"
A gangly man with elongated arms, a mohawk, a beard and a visor barked out a laughter when he saw me, Pilar, and he was promptly shut up with a kick to the crotch by my favorite gremlin who sported a red face, ignoring my entrance in favor of beating the shit out of her brother.
In the middle of the hideout was a large red cough with several figures sitting on it, seemingly waiting for me to enter to make this cool scene.
A large man, taller than me while sitting with dark skin and a night city appropriate haircut, shoulders so wide I doubted he could get past doors and with my glasses and Giffany's help, I could tell that this guy was chromed out to the utter extremes. His grin and glasses almost gave off a gundam vibe. The maine man, Maine.
The girl next to him was a tall girl, decently taller than me at least with short blond hair and well-developed muscles as well as clothes that hardly hid anything. But I did not let my gaze linger long, she was not my type. No offense. She must be Dorio from what I remember.
Another girl who also had yellow hair in a bob with yellow sclera and a gas mask like cybernetic mouth implant. She wore a red futuristic trench coat that mostly hid her figure. She gave me a side glance and crossed her arms. Distrust practically radiated off of her. Kiwi.
There was also Lucy in the back, leaning against the wall, watching me like a hawk as if I personally pulled a gun on her.
"Hey, Grimm right? The names' Maine, couldn't help but hear your name a dozen times and more from Becca's mouth, thought I should meet you myself. Not the only place I've heard your name though. I could yell your name out the window over there and watch the 6th Streeters scramble."
The large man got off the couch and held out a hand towards me. And I shook it promptly. Rebecca on the back turned around, I saw her ear redden a little.
"That's me, nice to meet you Maine. Rebecca spoke a lot about you too. I can see that she did not exaggerate."
It was hard to shake his hand when it was like 4x the size of mine, but he did not seem to mind as he went to pat my back, but I quickly ducked and took a step back.
"Woah now big guy, thanks for the gesture, but I don't have the specs to handle a pat on the back like that. No offense."
I was still a little bruised ok? It may seem a bit rude, but I did not want him to misjudge that strength and give me a chiropractic adjustment.
"You're quick at least. Normally I'd judge the book by the cover, but with Capitan shouting your name out there? Well, you get the gist. Anyway, we got a gig and me, Dorio and Pilar can't go, so Becca vouched for you."
I raised an eyebrow at the bigger man.
"Why's that? I'm not complaining about getting a job, but I wouldn't pick an outsider for a job my crew is entrusted with."
"You're right about that, but this mission requires some finesse, it's a Tyger claw that popped up, me and Dorio aren't much for stealth. And I don't trust Pillar with this shit."
"-Fuck you Maine!"
"So you'd be going with them as muscle. Client wants info on her son who was last seen at this club, you'll go there, Lucy will crack their net and find what happened while Rebecca will make a distraction. We don't want to go in guns blazing on the chance they wipe the data and escape. Got the gist of it?"
Sounded like an easy job for me, if a too big of a screwup happened, Giffany could raid their entire servers in seconds. I have no fear of Tygers either. I'd say this job was a cakewalk, but I knew better than to call forth the jinx.
"Sounds good to me."
After that, we also hashed out some other things about the job, my cut etc. It was going to be a 4 way cut between Me, Rebecca, Lucy and Maine(who got the job after all) and the job was for today. I did not give the slightest shit about money, so I nodded and turned to the girls. Rebecca who jumped up and down in excitement while Lucy looked at me coldly.
"Alright, want a ride?"
"I'll pass, meet you two there."
Lucy did not even entertain my request and turned away while Rebecca gave her a side eye.
"The hell is her problem?" That's what I'm saying. "Oh well, you got a car Grimmy? About time, let's see that baby!"
✧―✧―✧―✧「」✧―✧―✧―✧
"Woah what the hell!? You got a Herrera Outlaw? I knew you were rich choom, but not this rich! Damn these cushions are nice."
Rebecca was awed at my new ride, and I was already satisfied with the price I paid for it just for that reaction alone. She crawled around the inside of the car while shaking her cute little butt that I enjoyed looking at just as much as she liked inspecting the car.
"Thanks, I paid a good chunk of money for it, but this car is more than worth it." At the very least, her reaction to it was.
She nodded in satisfaction and splayed over her seat.
"Yup, one hell of a car. But since you said you got it just recently... how about 'we wear it in'?"
It was at this moment that I was reminded of the fact that Giffany was the one controlling this car. While she would never work against me, I didn't want to hurt her feelings by nutting on another girl while she is driving me around.
So I mustered up the Herculean effort to speak up.
"Maybe after the job, want to be on my A-Game y'know?"
This is probably the hardest thing I have done since I came here.
Urgh, I need to make some more Tyger corpses to improve my mood.
A/N: Grimm has to get a Herrera Outlaw, because that is just the car you need to get. Herrera Outlaw is my favorite car and I cannot deny it. And as expected, the sentience of the Gacha flared up and gave Grimm the harem trait It was only a matter of time.
We finally meet the team! Grimm is finally involved with the Edgers and it goes about as well as you expect, Grimm has built up his reputation and Maine counts for Lese Majeste so of course they are getting along. Now we get to spend more time with Lucy, I wonder how that will go...
