''Alright, so this story has a bit of a confusing something. I have it to where the wife of Hero's father is a monster, but she is his second wife. So, Hero is a pure blooded human. And his little sister is a monsters like his step mother. I haven't decided what happened to the first wife yet. And lastly, this story takes place in the city of True Lake. A floating city with the north and south parts of the city built on the bays of both big islands. If you need a reference of what a floating city is, here it is. And here is the map to show where True Lake is. Thanks to Kaizer-Kaze for drawing an awesome map. I have also edited some of the monsters I've choosen to better fight my story, they may not exacly follow their MGE page descriptions, but they will follow it to a point. This is a harem story like the rest of my stories, but in this one. I have decided to take on the epic challenge of using this harem trope. It shall begin like this and slowly progress. For those who don't know what aromantics are, they are people who feel little or no romantic feelings. They can still be attracted to a person's body or personality sexually, but not romantically. They are still capable of doing romantic stuff, but they just don't really feel the romance. So, they might be a little clueless at how much a date or an anniversary means to someone. Anyways, with that said, here is the story known as Love Crisis!''

A boy in his late teens sat on the floor of a boat. His legs were over the side of the boat. An arm rest kept him from falling into the water. The boot was a sail boat as he floated towards a floating city. Floating rods were on the sea with a people walking them. Floating houses were on rafts that were floating on the water.

The boy had tanned skin with brown eyes and messy blonde hair. He wore a pair of jean shorts with a red a-shirt. His body was thin, but lean had muscle. He saw all the water beneath his feet as the boat finally got to a floating port.

The port had several boats at the docks people were moving off and onto ships. There were only a few large cargo ships that were at the eastern side of the lake. The eastern lake led to the ocean where it would lead to the continent. They were unloading a large amount of goods for the legendary floating city of True Lake.

A small girl who was sucking on a licking fruit was near him. She has blonde hair with brown eyes like the 18 year old boy. She had tanned skin, but her bosom was very developed for a 14 year old girl at a small c-cup size. She was wearing her hair in a straight comb over. The girl’s arms were a pair of blue feathered wings with a pair of talons at the wing joint. Her wings were currently folded down and her legs had some feathers on them by the calves were her feet were noticeably talons. She wore a pair of holed blue jeans with a heart patch sewn on. And covering her chest was a blue tank top with shoulder straps buttoned with gold snaps, the tank top exposed her midriff.

The girl pulled the licking fruit from her mouth as it was now shriveled up. She toss the remains into the water with the seeds inside still. She then said to the boy with a grin, “So, are you ready to go back to your regular school life instead of Writing School, Hero?”

Hero nodded as he replied to the girl that seemed like his sister, “Yeah, Aegle, now stop being a bothering little sister by sneaking into the licking fruit jar. You know dad only wants you to have those as dessert, not a snack.”

Aegle pouted as she said to Hero, “Humph, stupid brother.”

Hero sighed as the ship pulled to a vacant part of the house boat docks. The rope was knotted to secure he ship from floating off. Hero then secured the third rope so the ship was practically impossible to lose. Hero wiped the sweat off his brow as he went back onto the ship. At the back of the ship was a grill as an older man was seen.

Hero looked an older man with spikey blonde hair instead of Hero’s combed back hair. His eyes were brown just like Hero’s suggesting that he was the father of Aegle and Hero. He had large arm muscles with a small gut. His blonde mustache and goatee was nice with a pair of long chin bangs kinda looking like fangs. He wore a pair of green cargo pants with a black a-shirt. His tanned skin was a bit darker than Hero or Aegle’s as he said to the boy, “Yo, Hero can you go pick up the charcoal from the main cargo port.”

Hero nodded as he said to the older man, “Sure, dad, I’ll be back soon then.”

An older woman walked out wearing a gold shiny apron and a gold t-back panties. She had some light blue lip stick and eye shadow on her face. She had a nice large c-cup bosom behind the apron. She had green eyes with blonde hair that was held in a mid back pony tail. Her wings were very beautiful and her legs has some feathers on them with talon feet. Smiling she walked with a belly that was a bit bulged. She went up to her husband as she kissed him on the lips, “Good job on helping set up the restaurant. When do we open shop dear?”

Hero’s dad replied to his wife, “Just as soon as a customer gets onto the boat.”

Hero’s dad said to Aegle with a smile holding some papers, “Can you fly out some flyers to get us up and running? We need some money soon so we can get food on the tables.”

Aegle nodded as she grabbed a satchel as she put it on. She took the flyers and put them in her bag. She said to her dad with a smile, “I’ll be back in about two hours then daddy.”

Smiling Aegle’s dad petted her head as he said to her with a smile, “Alright, be safe and careful.”

Aegle then began to fly off as her dad began to set up the grill with what coal was left. He checked out the lower deck’s food storage while Hero walked off the ship. He began to go down the dock with a small bag of money.

Hero eventually got to the cargo ship port and it’s 7 docks. He saw the cargo sorting section and the port market place. Walking up to a stand Hero grabbed his bag of coin as he presented it to the man. The man counted the coin as he said to Hero, “Alright, looks like you get 70 pounds of charcoal to take with you, or you can get 50 pounds and be lent a cart to pull it with.”

Hero then asked him with a bit of a plea, “How about I get 55 pounds plus the cart and when I return you get a free lunch of real beef burgers for you and three employees.”

Surprised the man then squinted as he replied to him, “54 pounds and four free meals plus me.”

Shrugging his shoulders Hero said to him, “That’s great too.”

Stamping the pair of receipts the merchant gave Hero a copy, “There you go. I’ll have Garo load up the cart with 54 pounds of charcoal.”

Smiling Hero then began to walk as he said to the merchant, “Alright, I’ll be back in 15 minutes to pick up the charcoal.”

Hero walked around as he was then ambushed by a pair of breasts while his eyes were closed, “Huh?”

The girl smiled as she let out a short shy squeal, “Oh my, is that you Hero?”

Hero looked up from the breasts at a unicorn who was blushing and looking down to the left. He then ran back as he said to her with a blush scratching the back of his head, “I’m sorry, it was an accident.”

She wore a white veil over her hair that was long and sun light blonde held in a pair of curly twin tails. Her green eyes matched the light green flower she wore in her hair. Her bosom was covered by a long sleeve see through white light fabric shirt that shows some cleavage and was cut off at the midriff. Her lower half had a white skirt that was rather short, but still covered her front pussy from view. She wore a metallic belt made up of light green hearts around her waist for more fashion than function. Her tail was sunlight blonde like her hair. The horse half torso was pure white like a bed sheet with light green hooves.

Hero looked at her as he replied to her, “Oh, uh nice to see you Chloe. It’s been half a year since I saw you. So, how are you Chloe?”

Chloe said to him with a small shy blush, “I’ve been a little lonely since you left, but I have done a lot better in my mathematics. I’ve even recently solved the flying equation allowing harpies to fly a labyrinth that is full of traps to get a perfect race score.”

Nodding as Hero congratulated Chloe, “Wow, that’s great. I published by first novel just a month ago. The sales are really great for it.”

Letting out a yelp in surprise Chloe replied to him, “Oh, that must be great. What is the book about?”

Hero explained to her with a small smile, “Oh, it’s about giant machine that run off of a combination of fire and water. The main hero is a pilot knight while his best friends an ignis and undine to power the machine with steam to go into battle against the evil shuli and their peratives. The shuli are a lack bird dragon creature made from the very bigotry in the hearts of men, women and monsters. Their operatives are possessed by these creatures made from bigotry. And try to invade our world from the shuli realm. It’s really a popular book according to my agent. But, the book might not make it after a few months of sales. You really can’t tell if it’s any good until about 6 or 7 months of being on the shelves. Anyways, I’m going to pick up the charcoal. We’re opening up again in midtown. You should come pick up some food for you and your family. We still got your favorite, fried celery fries with our special sauce.”

Smiling Chloe nodded to him as she asked, “Did you open up shop in your old spot?”

Hero said as he corrected her, “Oh, no, uh now we are on Bellamy Dock 42 slot 15, just at the end of the dock. We should be open in 20 minutes. Dad’s started the burgers, fries and sides. I’m just picking up the charcoal that we won’t have in a little while of being in operations.”

Chloe then said to him with a smile, “Alright, well I’ll go tell my parents. Mind if I put in an order for delivery?”

Hero nodded to her, “Yeah, no problem. Anyways, I’ll be gone for now. I’m going to be delivering all night.”

Hero waved good bye to his friend as he got the cart. As he began to head home he saw some people already at the boat house restaurant known as Saehrimnir’s Sausages. Hero went to the side ramp as he went up it and said to his dad putting down the bags of charcoal, “Hey, Dad, here’s the charcoal. I got to return the cart and I’m going to need five burgers plus a container of macaroni salad.”

Smiling his dad was making the sides while his mom was flipping burgers, sausages and bacon, “Alright. I’ve got a 3 person container. Did you are least get 42 pounds?”

Hero wiped his brow with a sigh, “Yup, 54 pounds of charcoal. By the way, I got to delivery already from Chloe.”

Laughing Hero’s mom said with a smile, “Oh goody, perhaps you’ll finally ask her for a date.”

Hero lifted a brow to her, “Uh, mom I’m going to be delivering the food to her. Besides, why would I take only a single date? I’d rather have a bag full.”

Sighing in worry, “My oh my, how will the boy ever get a wife with that mind set. Well, Hero can you help me after you wash your hands? I need someone to check on the fried sides.”

Hero nodded as he pulled off the last bag, “Sure, no problem.”

Hero went into the top deck where several bottle of rubbing alcohol were available. He rinsed his hands in the water pan first. Then poured his hands with the alcohol next scrubbing them off. After his hands were clean he wiped them on a rag and went to check the fried sides.
