After school, as Dylan, Maya, Ellie, Lena, and Amy were walking toward the school exit, "Ellie!"
They turned to see a disheveled Charles running to catch up with them. Dylan immediately stepped in front of the four girls.
"Ellie, you met me at the bar on Friday, right? You were the one who called me to the bar and gave me that check, right?" Charles asked.
"Huh, the hypnosis effect is wearing off?" Dylan wondered in his head.
[Only partially, sir. Just let it be.]
"Huh... what are you talking about?" Maya asked.
"Ellie was with us on Friday. There's no way she met you at a bar," Lena added.
"That's right, I'm a witness," Amy added.
"You hear them? I didn't go out at all," Ellie said.
"What do you want now, Charles?" Dylan asked, pretending.
"N... no... so... sorry, but I'm sure... this is your number, right? You sent a message, look at this," Charles replied, looking confused as he showed his smartphone to Ellie.
Ellie immediately read the message, then Dylan also peeked and read the message, since he was the one who actually sent it.
"Oh, so he remembers because of that message yesterday... that makes sense," Dylan thought in his head.
[That's right, sir, but he won't remember anything else, so don't worry.]
Ellie looked confused, then she shook her head and glared at Charles with a face full of anger.
"I never sent a message that made it look like I was trying to seduce you into meeting me, and that's not my number... Don't make things up, and if you keep trying to accuse me of something unclear, I'll report this to the school administration," Ellie said firmly.
Charles flinched in surprise at Ellie's words. Then, without saying anything else, he immediately turned around and walked away while calling someone. Dylan turned back and urged the others to leave quickly. Once they were out of the school building and walking toward the gate, Maya stepped back and walked next to Dylan.
"Babe, you didn't pull a stunt, did you? Like impersonating Ellie to mess with that psycho?" Maya asked.
"Of course not... You're being silly, haha," Dylan said casually. "Shoot... she knows I can impersonate people, so she suspects me... just stay calm and relaxed... yeah, right... don't look nervous about lying," Dylan muttered in his heart.
"Seriously?" Maya asked, looking at Dylan with suspicion.
"Seriously. Why would I lie?" Dylan answered.
"Okay, I believe you. Sorry for asking, though," Maya replied, smiling.
"Yeah, it's fine," Dylan replied.
Maya immediately went forward and walked next to Amy again. Dylan breathed a slight sigh of relief, then he glanced back to see Charles pacing back and forth in front of the school entrance while on the phone and running his hand through his hair. His face wasn't very visible from a distance, but Dylan was sure he must be terrified and panicking. Dylan smiled in victory and walked casually, following the four girls in front of him. When they passed the gate, the four girls in front of him suddenly stopped.
"Oh yeah, we have a check-up again today, right?" Lena asked the four of them.
"Yeah, that's right. It's scheduled for today," Ellie answered.
"Okay, today then... so, right now?" Amy asked.
"Hmm... yeah, let's go home first, change clothes, and head straight there," Ellie answered.
"True, don't go there in our uniforms," Maya added.
"Are we just the four of us?" Lena asked.
"Our husband has to take us, though," Ellie answered.
"Agreed," Amy added.
The four of them immediately turned around to look at Dylan and smiled sweetly. Dylan, who had heard their conversation, pretended to look in another direction.
They immediately turned back and cornered Dylan, pinning him against the wall and surrounding him until they were practically pressed against him.
"You have to take us to the obstetrician now," Lena said, leaning her face close to Dylan's.
"You have to, you're the daddy of our babies," Maya added, also leaning her face close to Dylan's.
"Yep, that's right. If you don't, I'll cry," Amy added, leaning in with a cold, pleading expression.
"You hear them, right, hehe," Ellie added, also leaning her face in and clearly not prepared to take no for an answer.
"Aaargh... yes... now let go. What if someone sees us, this is still at school," Dylan said, backing his body away to get some distance.
"Okay," the four of them replied, letting go of Dylan.
The four of them immediately walked away cheerfully, chatting amongst themselves. Dylan resignedly followed them from behind.
"Oh man... if they do a check-up and ask who the father is... I'm going to have to answer, right?... Four girls... pregnant by one guy... I could fall into the 'no morals' category... this is bad," Dylan said in his head.
[Relax, sir. Your grandfather once brought all six of his wives to the clinic for a check-up and was proud of it... he even flirted with the pretty receptionist at the front desk and was almost killed by his six wives.]
"Please don't compare me to my grandfather," Dylan retorted.

After arriving home, they all immediately changed clothes. Dylan called an online taxi to go to the clinic together because the distance was quite far. Once in the taxi and settled inside,
"Bro, why are we coming too?" Aaron asked, confused.
"Yeah, big brother, I'm sleepy," Fiona added.
"Huuuuh... yum... yum," Iris mumbled, already half asleep.
"Just keep us company for a bit. Once we're there, you guys can take them in one by one for the check-up, we'll divide the tasks. Please help me out just this once... okay... please," Dylan pleaded with his younger siblings.
"Honey, what are you doing bringing Fiona and Iris too? It's going to be a long wait," Ellie said.
"Yeah, babe, we're being checked one at a time," Maya added.
"Are you embarrassed?" Amy asked.
"Hmm... it's understandable, though. If he comes alone, and they ask who the father is, how can the four of us all say he's the father," Lena muttered.
"Exactly! That's why I brought Aaron, Fiona, and Iris... understand now," Dylan said, sitting in the front and turning to look back.
"Ugh... so we're being used as camouflage... that's terrible, bro," Aaron said.
"But I'm sleepy," Fiona said, rubbing her eyes and leaning against Maya.
"Zzzz... zzz," Iris was already sound asleep on Amy's lap.
"Alright, next time we'll arrange different days and different clinics. I'll try to get the referrals. I can understand what you mean," Ellie said.
"Okay, thank you," Dylan replied.
Dylan sat back facing forward to watch the road. Then he felt a stare from beside him. He turned to see the driver who was trying to hold back laughter and occasionally glanced at him.
"What is it, sir?" Dylan asked.
"N... nothing... you're amazing. Don't worry, I'm not jealous, because one is enough for me, haha," the driver replied.
"Huh... what do you mean by that?" Dylan asked.
[He means you're going overboard having four wives, sir.]
"Shut up. I know what he means, don't state the obvious, you damn cat," Dylan angrily replied in his head.
