I'm Stuck in a House Full of Girls!

Chapter 15: Unfortunate Series of Events Part 3

At Lucas' room, the girls stared at the unconscious Lucario, with his face flushing red due to the intense heat his whole body just went through.

"Lucky that Lucas received were only minor burns." Esper said while finishing up wrapping bandages all over his body.

"S-so, will he still be alright?" The weeping Umbreon asked.

"Lucas has been through all sorts of accidents, I think he'll be fine." Esper reassured her and patted her on the head as Umber wiped her tears, feeling a little better that her big brother will be all right.

"So how'd Lucas suddenly pass out like that?" Lily asked.

"I don't know, he was just boiling water until he suddenly collapsed in front of me." Umber replied while scratching her head, recalling the traumatic event she witnessed.

"So is he going to be okay?" Gardenia asked them.

"Yeah, hopefully. We're truly sorry that this had happened, Gardenia." Esper bowed down to their guests and apologized.

"We even invited you to come over for dinner with us, but…" Lily added, also embarrassed.

"Lucas is out cold…" Umber said, still feeling upset.

"There's no need to apologize at all. No one knew that this would even happen." Now it was Gardenia's turn to feel embarrassed.

"Well, I guess I have to co-" Esper said, as her younger sisters immediately knew what she was going to say.

"Well then, who wants takeout?" Flannery interrupted Esper as she raised her hand up.

"Me!" "Me too!" The rest of the sisters quickly seconded the idea as they all simultaneously raised their hands up.

"Okay, takeout it is then! Sorry Esper." Flannery cheered with joy and ran out of the room with Vanessa and Umber right behind her, all with silly grins on their faces, leaving Esper, Gloria, Lily, the two siblings, and the mummy-wrapped Lucas inside the room.

"Y-you guys…" Esper said to herself while clenching her fists.

"I'll be at my room if you guys need me." Lily said and left the room.

"And the two of us will be spending some quality time together." Guile said while placing his hand around her shoulder as her feelings of anger changed quickly to happiness as the two went outside.

"So Gardenia, want to go to my room?" Gloria asked the psychic-type as she stared at her, strangely, she didn't reply as her attention was towards the Lucario.

"Uh, Gardenia, you okay?" Gloria leaned closer and touched Gardenia's shoulder.

"O-Oh, yeah, of course." The Gardevoir was snapped back to reality and quickly smiled at her which made Gloria raise an eyebrow at her sudden behavior.

"Let's go." Gloria called out to her as Gardenia quickly followed behind, but her attention was still at the mummified Lucas before they closed the door to let him get some rest.

Gloria welcomed Gardenia to her room as the psychic-type was shocked by the sudden drop of temperature she felt inside as a tingling chill touched her flawless white skin.

"Brrr, it's cold in here." Gardenia said while hugging her arms.

"Sorry about that, its just I like it that way, do you want a jacket?" Gloria chuckled.

"N-no thanks, I'll manage."

"So what do you think about my room?" Gloria showed her around as Gardenia looked with astonishment, mostly everything is ice and light blue theme such as a chime with a diamond design hanging on her window, a mirror with its borders, embroidered with glittering ice, as well as her collection of crystal clear jewelries.
