"Welcome to the Orchid Room," said a woman's voice.

 

Akira Kurusu looked up, and found himself in a dungeon.  It was one he recognized, though.  Sort of.  It looked like the Velvet Room, only more pink.  He went up to the bars and looked out... looking down and realizing that instead of the striped prison garb he wore in the Velvet Room, he was wearing a pink, rubber bondage suit.

 

"WHAT THE FUCK!?" 

 

The woman's voice giggled again.  "My apologies," she said.  "In recreating your Velvet Room for this iteration of the Orchid Room, I decided to have a little fun.  My name is Shelly." 

 

Akira, blushing and embarrassed, looked up to see a woman sitting at the warden's table.  She looked like a female version of Igor.  Same nose, same eyes, same unnerving smile.  "What's going on?" Akira asked.

 

"Do not be alarmed, Joker of the Phantom Thieves," said Shelly.  "I am Igor's sister, in charge of giving rewards to noble Wild Cards who saved the world." 

 

Akira smirked a little.  "It was a group effort, though.  Why just me?" 

 

Shelly chuckled.  "Because the power of the Wild Card is what led them to victory," she said.  "Check your phone.  It's in the zipper pocket on your right hip." 

 

Akira did so, pulling it out.  In addition to the app that allowed him to travel to the Palaces, there was a new app, marked Harem App.

 

"This app," Shelly explained, "will allow you to take control of anyone you want and turn them into your sexual servants.  You can control their appearance, their minds, their personality, anything you want.  You can turn a male into a female, or a female into a male if you are so inclined.  You can even turn Morgana into an anthropomorphic cat, if you like." 

 

"...That's not funny," Akira said, his eyes narrowing.

 

"Hm?" Shelly said, not losing her smile.

 

"If you are related to Igor, then you know about our first caper, against Kamoshida," Akira said.  "I'm not a perverted monster, like him!" 

 

"Of course you aren't," Shelly said, unperpturbed.  "If you were, I wouldn't have given you the app." 

 

"...Huh?" Akira asked, confused.

 

Shelly chuckled patiently.  "Do you intent to injure people who do better than you?" she asked.

 

"Of course not," Akira responded.

 

"Do you intend to rape women to get what you want?" Shelly asked.

 

"No, but mind control..." Akira responded.

 

"Do you intend to bully or abuse those that oppose you?" Shelly asked.

 

"OF COURSE NOT!" Akira shouted.

 

"Then what's the harm in making a harem out of people who already are in love with you?" Shelly said.

 

Akira flinched, looking away.

 

"...You knew how they felt, didn't you?" Shelly said softly.

 

"...I wasn't able to stay," Akira said.  "I couldn't return anyone's feelings.  Plus, with my record, they would have lost face."  

 

"You are kind," Shelly said.  "Which is why I have taken the liberty of arranging things so you can have your harem without incident.  You can even take them to a Palace of your creation, to indulge in more extreme fantasies you couldn't experience in real life."  

 

Akira stared at Shelly, his mind considering things.

 

Shelly chuckled.  "I have taken the liberty of paying a year's worth of rent at LeBlanc's, and arranging it so that you can stay there.  Use the app or not, Joker.  It is your choice."  

 

The lights in the Orchid Room went out, surrounding Akira in darkness.  He opened his eyes suddenly... and was laying in his bed in the attic of LeBlanc's, a frowning Sojiro standing over him, Morgana on his chest.

 

"...Hi?" Akira said, grinning.

 

"You literally appeared out of nowhere just now," Sojiro said.  "I have several questions." 

 

"...I think I have answers," Akira said.

 

Sojiro frowned even more.  "Is there an apocalypse about to happen?" 

 

"No, I don't think so," Akira said.  

 

Morgana frowned.  "Are you sure?" he asked, Sojiro unable to hear the cat's voice.

 

"Yes, Morgana, I'm sure," Akira said.

 

"...How the hell are you here?" Sojiro said.

 

"The sister of Morgana's creator said she was 'arranging things' to give me a reward," Akira said.  "She also said that she paid rent for a year's stay here..." 

 

"Well, that explains the check... At least it didn't bounce..." Sojiro muttered.  "What reward?" 

 

Akira looked down at his phone.  The harem app was glowing slightly.  "...I may be having several girlfriends over soon.  At once," he said.

 

Sojiro's eye twitched.  "Will Futaba be among them?" he said.

 

Akira thought about Futaba, about how cute she was... "Maybe.  I promise you that I won't abuse her feelings or make her feel bad, though."  

 

Sojiro twitched again.  "...I REALLY wish you weren't so damn trustworthy.  I want to protest you dating Futaba, especially since you mentioned multiple girlfriends."  His head drooped, and he sighed.  "I am assuming these multiple girlfriends won't mind you having multiple girlfriends." 

 

"No sir," Akira said.

 

"Magic involved?" Sojiro asked.

 

"Yessir," Akira said.

 

"Of course it is," Sojiro muttered.  "Well... whatever.  You're working while you're staying here, though, and that's final.  Break Futaba's heart and I kill you."  He wandered downstairs, muttering.

 

Morgana shook his head.  "You, sir, lead an interesting life," he said.

 

Akira smirked.  "You, potentially, could be my girlfriend as well," he said, holding up his phone.

 

Morgana blinked.  "Whoa, wait, what?!" 

 

Akira explained what happened.  "Master did mention having family, but he never explained them..." Morgana said, frowning.  "But... wow... You could turn me into a humanoid?" 

 

Akira nodded.  "I think so.  Either a full on furry or an animal-ears and tail type person," he said, looking at his phone.

 

"Whoa..." Morgana said.  "Heavy stuff... So what are you gonna do?"
