"Welcome to the Orchid Room," said a voice.

 

Minato Arisoto was rather surprised to hear this.  He was surprised to hear anything, honestly.

 

Y'know, because he was dead.

 

The last thing he remembered was dying with his head in Aigis's lap, his soul used to seal away Nyx Avatar, to keep the entity Erebus from uniting with it and bringing about the end of humanity.

 

"Fear not.  The seal is still in place," said the voice.

 

Oh... so... why was he here, then?

 

"Because you have been chosen for a reward," said the voice.

 

Minato opened his eyes, realizing that they were closed.  He looked around, and found himself in a pink version of the Velvet Room, an elevator constantly going up.  But instead of Igor at the desk, there was a woman who...

 

...well, she looked like a female Igor.  Long nose, perpetual smile, creepy as fuck eyes that never blinked...

 

"You're not wrong," the woman said, chuckling.  "I am Shelly.  I run the Orchid Room.  When a true hero emerges, I am allowed to alter their circumstance to give them a reward." 

 

Minato nodded.  "Well, making me not dead is a pretty big reward," he said.  "Thanks!" 

 

Shelly nodded.  "There's more," she said, giving Minato a cell phone.  Minato picked it up, looking it over.  It looked like his old phone, and had all his contacts on it, but there was something else.  A new app, called 'Harem App.'

 

"What's this?" Minato said.

 

"Exactly what it says," Shelly said.  "A harem generator app.  With it, you can take control of anyone you want and make them your obedient sexual servant.  You can control their body shape, other aspects of their appearance, their minds, their personalities..."  

 

Minato frowned.  "...You obviously mean for me to use this on my friends," he said.

 

Shelly nodded, never losing her perpetual smile.  "Indeed," she said.  "If you are heterosexual, you can turn your male friends female.  If you are homosexual, you can turn your female friends male.  You can even make Koromaru into an anthropomorphic humanoid, if you are so inclined."  

 

Minato had no idea how to respond to that.

 

Shelly chuckled.  "Use the app or do not," she said.  "It is simply my role to give out to reward.  That being said, your friends and those you have helped already love you.  Why not reward them by giving them a chance to love you intimately?"  

 

Minato stared down at the phone for a long time... and pocketed it.  If nothing else, he could just undo everything later...

 

Shelly grinned.  "Excellent.  Do give my love to Igor if you see him.  When you leave, you will find your circumstances perfectly arranged..."

 

Minato's vision faded, going dark again.  When he could see again, he found himself in an apartment on Tatsumi Port Island.  There was a lease, saying that his rent, power, and water was paid for one year, and a keycard that allowed him access to Kirijo Group facilities.

 

Minato took out the phone and looked at it again.  "Well..." he said.  "Let's see what this thing can do..."
