The night falls;

The ship sailing so calmly with the sky colored in dark blue, the stars glittering and the moon reflected the sunshine. Tonight is a beautiful night, but not as beautiful as the Great Grand Enchanter—or so the Grand Magister think.

She cuddles her as they sat near their window, just an innocent fun that every lover would do when they are too tired to do any intimacy.

"Ericchi, do you think Honoka and the others are ready?"

"No, Umi told me that they want to take a short break. It's been a tiring day for us all."

"True, I've been so tired from lifting up everything. Even though its all packed inside my container, it's still tiring!" Nozomi said.

"I know, that's why I'm giving you a reward." Eli said.

"Is it the way you allow me to ask anything to you?" Nozomi asked.

"Yes."

"Not fun, you always do that everyday." Nozomi said.

"Am I really?" Eli asked back teasingly.

"Well, not really since you often say no to some things."

"I will do anything you ask tonight. Even if it's something very ridiculous." Eli said.

Nozomi feels like Eli already know what she wants to ask tonight.

"Hmmm… let's start from this. I want to eat more yakiniku tonight."

"And be fatter and hard to walk. No. Your diet stands still."

"You said it's anything!" Nozomi pouts.

Eli chuckled.

"I'm joking. I'll make you one soon, is there anything else?" Eli asked.

"Hmmm… what about asking the alchemist to make a diet potion for me? That way, I don't need to worry about gaining more weight."

"I'll have them deliver it to you. Anything else?"

"Just some drinks and savory snacks." Nozomi said.

"Alright then, I'll go get them for you." Eli said as she stood up.

"Uhm, Ericchi, just prepare it for the hang out tonight. No need to bring that to me now."

Well, Nozomi didn't think of that one. But she kind of agree with that. Thanks to the other her for reminding that she should be hanging out with her friends tonight.

"Sure thing." Eli said before she left the room.

Now, while she went out to do her request, she wonder if she can do something around here.

Nozomi. Let's try to ask that.

Her other self said.

Ask what?

She asked to herself.

That, the thing we did in the tent.

The neat fun?

No, didn't we want it to be messy?

She doesn't know if she wants it messy now. The fact that she still remembers the time when she let Eli do her with a real manhood makes her feel a little weird. It's true that she did it from behind so she couldn't see how Eli looked like—but the fun was actually neat since she doesn't need to strip or worrying if the milk of their action left an evidence in tent. Plus, the fact that Lady Dominico somehow able to know that she was doing it by checking her clothes.

We should open that book and check out what we can do. We still have 2 hours, Nozomi! Let's use that time properly. You don't want to get distracted when you're hanging out with the others, right?

What do you mean?

Just remember how good it felt like.

Yes, but, I don't think I…

Don't worry. If you don't know what to ask, I'll ask.

It's not like that, I just feel a little nervous because… I never actually saw what happen back then, that's why I felt comfortable. But if I ask it now, will I feel comfortable?

That's why, I told you that I will ask her. We should just prepare some things for that.

What to prepare? Condom? Like before?

Who cares about that one. We are not in a real world and we are having sex with a genderless creature! She won't get us pregnant if she doesn't want us to be pregnant with her child. We used condom last time because we want it to be neat.

Then we disposed it in that small cauldron…

We didn't, we just hid it there. Something already took care of it too by the way.

What something? I don't remember taking care of it.

Honoka's new pet. That baby gargoyle ate the condom and its filling.

Eww! How gross are you?!

I'm not gross! The condom is made of dried magic insects, crushed into powder and made into an elastic material. Honoka's pet eats insects and larvae!

W-what? It made of insects?

Yes! It's alchemy! The insects powder has an ability to avoid one being from getting pregnant. When used to make condoms, it will avoid sperm to fertilize ovum. So even if the condom is broken, it's still useable.

New things to learn, but now Nozomi felt like she doesn't want to use condom.

Alright, so what's the preparation you're talking about?

Nozomi asked.

Bed. We need the bed to be extra fluffy. I want to play rough tonight.

You always want it rough!

You like it too!

Because I'm you! Sheesh! I was just saying that you don't need to tell me that we will play rough tonight. I already know!

It will be so much rougher than usual, Nozomi! It's a real thing after all, Eli won't be trying to be gentle like when she uses her water magic to create the fake thing.

Hmm, alright. I'll make the bed extra fluffy.

Nozomi said as she quickly adjusts her bed, adding extra bedcovers and arranging the pillow to cover all the rough part of the bed.

What next?

Her favorite liquor.

It's very unhealthy.

She is a yokai, Nozomi. Not a human. She can drink whatever she wants.

Right, but I'm uncomfortable when her mouth smells like alcohol!

Just fill in her flask. A little drink is fine. You don't want to freeze to death, right? It's better to smell that than getting a very cold body enter your womanhood.

Well, I'm used with that water magic.

Let's just make it warm, ok? It will be great, trust me.

Nozomi sighed to herself before she took Eli's flask and pick her favorite liquor bottle from the container, filling it in carefully and placed it next to the bed.

What next?

Extra cover to help us clean the mess.

That thin fabric then, maybe I should ask Kotori-chan to make more of those for us.

Nozomi said as she picks a sheet of transparent fabric and covered it on top of her bed.

Next?

Oil.

What?

If you don't want that we can use the natural lubricant.

Natural lubricant? Isn't oil natural enough?

Not that oil, silly! I thought you are used with oil thing!

Did I ever use them?

Oh dear. Let's forget about that. I don't want this going awkwardly.

So?

Natural lubricant it is. I'll do it if you don't want.

Nozomi still don't get it.

Now, let's move to the next thing. We need to wear a sexy dress.

Like what?

That transparent lingerie.

Nozomi didn't remember having that kind of thing. Did the other her bought it somewhere?

I already have them before you came here. Should be somewhere within Eli's wardrobe.

The other her said.

Nozomi quickly search inside Eli's wardrobe. She did find some fashion that doesn't seem to be owned by someone like Eli. She ignored them all until she found the transparent lingerie. It has decent design and quality, colored in white and probably will show all the exotic part of her body in better representation if she wears it. Must be very expensive.

Is this really ours?

Nozomi asked to herself.

It is. I used it for a kinky pleasure with her. Cute, isn't it?

Let's see if its comfortable enough.

It is, you can sleep in it too.

The other her replied as she starts to change to the lingerie.

What about the hair?

Nozomi asked.

Fish braid. Ericchi loves that so much.

Bah, braiding is always so complex.

It's worth it. Ericchi will be so excited to do you.

Us.

Right, us.

What about face?

No make-up. Ericchi hates the taste.

Who likes eating make-up anyway?

Nozomi proceed to prepare herself. She knows that these might turn to something very messy, but she did it anyway—knowing that it might enhance her intimacy experience with Eli.

Actually, lip balm is fine. Let's get the chocolate flavor.

Chocolate flavor?

Yes, somewhere in Eli's wardrobe too. Search it.

Nozomi began to search it and managed to find it inside Eli's make up box that she kept inside her wardrobe. She is then using it immediately.

It's sweet.

Make it thick.

Nozomi agreed silently as she starts to put some thick layers of balm on her lips.

Now, use your finger, take a little layer off the tip and stick it on our core.

What?! Are you serious?!

I'm serious. Just do it.

Nozomi sighed to herself once again before she proceeds to do what she asked.

Ok, we are done. Let's just sit on bed while waiting.

Nozomi agreed to do that.

Actually, strike a pose, you look so dull.

What pose?

And before they could think of it, Eli already returned to the room.

"Nozomi, I asked the ca—…" she pauses as she look at Nozomi.

"My, aren't you bold?" she said with a smile.

"Do you like it?" the other her took over her lips and body. Now she sat with legs crossed and body slightly leaning to the back. She looks so elegant and professional.

You are good at this.

Nozomi commented.

I'm experienced. You better watch me do it, ok?

Not like I can watch myself!

"I certainly loves the way you look tonight, how do you know that I keep that lingerie?" the blonde asked.

"Sheesh,you're such a spoilsport, Ericchi. Why would you ask unnecessary question when you only need to enjoy what you see?" the purplenette posed in the most sensual way she could make. Sometime Nozomi just feel like she is born natural when it comes about flirting this helpless blonde.

"You're right. Why am I asking such a question?" The blonde replied as she closes the door tight, locking it with a wooden plank and starts to close down all the curtain.

Look at her, she is extremely hungry now.

Is she really?

Nozomi asked to her other self as she watch Eli approaching her. She sat next to Nozomi, gazing so lovingly, caressing the back of her jaws, and discover the sweet chocolate smell from her lips. Without doubt, she starts to press her gentle lips to the purplenette's enchanting lips.

Her kisses are not different than usual, but Nozomi can feel her enjoying every single stroke of their touches. With her hands starting to explore the curves of her body, the Great Grand Enchanter already has her mood up for a joyful ride. She showed the lust that she kept from ever since they stayed in the West Palace.

Ahh… maybe we're the one that is too helpless for her. I'm already in the mood for the action.

Nozomi said to herself.

Her touches are too good to be true. She is way more skilled in this!

She appreciates her while the blonde gently shoves her down to bed, loving every part of her body with her gentle hands and lips. Nozomi didn't even realize that her lingerie is pulled down to expose her large asset, she only get to realize it when Eli starts to suckle her nipples so playfully while her hands massaging her part tentatively.

The timing of the change of action is perfect, Nozomi doesn't even need to say or leading her with anything. She kisses her curves when her nipples had enough loving, then began to move down to her core, licking her so greedily and not forgetting the sensual sensation she needed on her legs—it's a little cold but Nozomi is very used with Eli's body temperature.

Her body starts to lose control, its like the yokai has used her magic to control her. More kisses, more touches, and more liquid are spent, lubricating their body. Nozomi always loves it when she sweats while wearing a minimum fashion, especially when Eli is there to tend for her lust.

When the blonde began to strip while looking at her, Nozomi realizes that it's time for her to ask what they wanted to do.

"Ericchi." She called her erotically as she lifts her body up and lean on the stack of pillows.

Eli stopped for a moment, looking at her curiously.

"Would you like to fill womb with your love?"

The sentence just escaped her mouth. The other her surely knows what she should say.

"Nozomi, am I hearing it right?" the blonde asked.

The purplenette smiled lustfully.

"I don't need you to turn into him. All I want from you is to make yourself able to do that. Just like what happened in that tent." She said. Nozomi didn't know that Eli is partially transforming her lower part, (she was taken care of from behind!) but she believes that she felt something similar to the fluffy breast when the deep penetration happened.

"Is that so? Then it shall be done." The blonde replied as she slowly taking off her majestic hakama. Revealing a length that look partially ready to enter her depth. The shape and size is perfect, just as big as what she usually desires when Eli use her water magic.

What should I do next?

She asked to herself.

Lubricate it.

How?! You know that I don't even—…

I'll do it.

And from that, the purplenette flirtatiously beckon to the blonde. Eli understand her intention immediately and she let her length displayed right in front of her mouth. The scent is just the same, but a little stronger and will probably taste different.

Her hands grab the length, her tongue starts to lick from the curved tip. It tastes just the same, but felt different. The temperature is just like usual too, like touching a recently refrigerated meat. Can she really make it warm? With that liquor?

"Mmmmh… it's a little too cold." The purplenette said with sultry voice.

"I'm sorry. Let me fix it real quick." Eli quickly pick the flask next to the bed, surprised that it's already fully filled with her favorite liquor.

"You're doing that intentionally, right?" she said.

Nozomi replied with a giggle. Eli drank the whole liquor from the flask, places it back on where she took it from. As she adjusted herself on the same position once again, Nozomi doubted for a second, but the other her forced her continue to taste the sinful length—and be greedier about it. She let it slides into her mouth, licking and sucking it inside. Her eyes keep looking at Eli who seems to be surprised by the sensation—and clearly, she is not used to it.

How cute.

She said to herself.

I know, that's the face that I missed so much. The face when she gets nervous and trying so hard to look tough.

Her other self continues to guzzle the blonde's length greedily. Lubricating the tip and move on until the sack of her length. Eli's face is blushing so red but she keeps holding on her position. She is enduring so much there. It's fascinating.

Maybe it's time for us to try something else?

Like what?

Between our breast.

Nozomi knows that she often does that while using the water shaft, but she isn't sure about how it works for this matter. She felt her body being controlled to slide down and her hands massaging her own asset, opening the cleavage as if she is inviting Eli to put her length between her cleavage.

Surprisingly, Eli knows what to do. The Blonde places her length between her breast, grabbing both of her nipples and drag it to the middle, forcing the breast to pinch the length. Then she starts to hump her. The Kitsune's body heat starts to raise and honestly, Nozomi felt not that different since all she needs to be aroused is to know that Eli is tending her.

The way it slips between her breast—and the way Eli hold her makes Nozomi felt so special, sinfully special. She wants to keep looking at it, repeating the motion and listen to Eli's soft nervous moan. She is so cute—too cute for Nozomi's heart. Maybe it's better than her usual intimacy, but maybe it's just because this is something new for her.

Eli is such a perfectionist, Nozomi always know that from the start of their relationship. She didn't know that Eli want it to be in everything though. Even on the time when they are supposed to care nothing about hygiene or neatness. When she reached her orgasm, she pulled her length to the inside of her cleavage, covering the exit with her palm and spray the sticky liquid while making sure that nothing reach Nozomi's face.

"That should do it for the first round." The blonde said as she tried to control her breath.

"I don't mind it if you want to spray that to my face."

Well, Nozomi didn't mean to say that, but the other her have to say that without her permission. Nozomi care about being sprayed on her face. It makes her dirty and using face soap might not completely remove the stains. She might miss some on her hair too. Will be very embarrassing if anyone as sharp as Maki spot it before herself.

"But I prefer it if you do it inside. It would be such a waste if I didn't swallow your love juice."

That's not even what Nozomi want to say! The other her needs to be less naughty about this sort of thing. The blonde giggled and she move her hips a little lower.

"Then, let me tease you a little. I need to make sure you are lubricated properly."

"It's already wet."

"Really?" The blonde checks her core with her fingers.

"You're right, it is. Let's see the inside, shall we?" she continued as she penetrated her fingers in, digging all the liquid that Nozomi made. The turquoise eyes looking at her lover, gazing with full of desire as she felt her core tended. The blue eyes replied by displaying her hunger, silently telling her that she wants her so desperately.

Her entrance isn't as tight as before, but it's still as tight as a virgin. Eli is always so gentle to her and most of the time, she only penetrates a single or two fingers in along with the tongue that pleasure her. Tonight, Eli gave her what she usually felt, the usual ritual they did every time the mood is right and they're not overwhelmed with their work.

The next thing is what different—and probably what Nozomi call as the main course. Eli has started to prod the tip of her length in the entrance.

"I didn't know that different angle can make a different sensation."

"it's not even that deep when we did it in that tent, you're not even fully erecting."

"Well, I didn't get to show you that. Was worried if you freaked out." The blonde replied as the head of her length hooked inside.

When it got in, Nozomi realizes that it might be bigger than two fingers. She might freak out right now, but when she looks at how Eli gently hold her legs and carefully make the first slide…

Maybe it's not that bad.

She thought.

Because she is Ericchi. She will make sure that we are comfortable.

Well it's getting comfy now.

Nozomi commented as she felt the penetration slightly hasten.

"Is it good, Nozomi?" Eli asked gently.

"Yes, I hope you get a little faster and deeper though."

She didn't ask that!

"Is that so? Then, be prepared." She replied as she humps her a little faster but still steady.

The sensation is indeed getting better for Nozomi. Could she really be after the wildest pace they can do?

She can feel herself squeezing the length, deeper and deeper, reaching the entrance of her womb and prodding her spot. A little pain around the entrance but it gives her the unique sensation she needs. The erotic sound of their flesh connected and the lustful moan of her lover makes her feel so wonderful.

A little break to help the couple's breath, a change of style to keep the fun going. The Blonde held her waist while the purplenette kneeled on the fluffy bed. The head of the length once again entered the entrance, hooked and played its role inside her. Eventually, Nozomi starts to lose her control—and she try to not to submit to it. She grabs a pillow, holding it tight and bit the tip of its cover.

She couldn't see her, but she can feel her gripping her sweaty skin, grinding her depth while kissing her tight back. These are the sensation she couldn't compare to the time she was grinded with that water magic. The warmth that she shares, the moan that she listens like a melody, then the warm liquid that sprayed inside her, dripping and forcing its way out as the length kept its motion.

Another round for Nozomi, she still wanting to be loved. Repeating the ritual with another style and this time she wants to be on top, held as Eli sat down, leaning to the pillow that she prepared. They kissed with their lust wavering around the peak. Embracing each other as their hands venturing her lover's soft skin. She knows that a white pool of mess made as she aggressively sucks her hard length, but it is what makes her feel so glad to have Eli.

She pulled her down to bed once again, locking her waist with her legs, silently demanding for more love poured inside her womb. Starting from the powerful push until the quivering energy finishing their wonderful rush.

Maybe Nozomi should make another round happen, but maybe not soon. She can feel her entrance aching from all the penetration. She needs to take a good break or she might be worn out at the time they need to hang out with the others.

"That was fun." Nozomi said as she sees her lover squeezing out the last tear of the liquid above her core. She is officially pregnant if Eli wants her to—but luckily, she is not.

"I didn't expect you to be this lustful."

"It can't be helped. Your expression makes me feel so aroused." Nozomi replied when her lovely blonde lay down next to her.

"No, what I mean is, you were fucked with a shaft. My shaft."

"Ericchi, you already know the answer."

"What?"

Nozomi chuckled and she gently dragged the blonde's jaw with the tip of her finger, kissing her lovingly and whispers.

"It's your shaft, Ericchi. I'll let you fuck me with it anytime."

"In that case, I'll do you some more when we got the chance."

"Hmm? Are you addicted with it now?"

"What can I say? Your inside feels so good. I don't think any other woman can make me feel that way." The blonde replied.

"You don't think? So, have you ever feel another woman's inside?"

"No, I can't compare you with another woman, honey. It's unfair. You are a goddess, they are human."

"You are such a charmer." Nozomi said playfully as she embraced her lover.

"By the way, I'm thinking of something." Eli said.

"What is it?"

"What do you think when you hear about something white and long?"

"Are you talking about your shaft?"

Eli chuckled.

"Maybe I should make better visual, but that works. My shaft is white and long."

"Was that a wrong answer?"

"No, but my question is wrong. Let me think of the right word. Hmm… what about golden bell and pigeons?"

"A Shrine? A Church?"

"Hmmm… alright, that might be close enough. What about, a pair of rings?"

"Wedding?"

"Correct."

"So, what about it? Do you finally realize that we should get married status?" Nozomi asked curiously.

"I'm thinking of it."

"Why? Is there anything that avoid you from doing that?" Nozomi asked again.

Eli remain silent for a moment.

"There is, I need to finish them off for good." She said with her cold voice.

"What? Who?"

The blonde shook.

"Nothing, never mind it." She faked a smile. That's disturbing, but Eli is Eli. She probably will tell her later when she is ready.

"Now, should we take a quick bath and meet everyone else?"

"Sure."

Nozomi replied before the two sat up and prepare for a quick bath.

In the ship's bath area;

There are two bathrooms in the ship. Public for (obviously) public use and a Grand bathroom that made for people with title, that's what the sign says—or what the unwritten rule says. It's not locked nor guarded, but if someone who doesn't have any title use that place for a bath, people might start to talk from their back.

Niko always wanted to have title on her head, just so she can use all the exclusive things she always finds. Now that she need to take a bath to refresh her body and mind, she is in a big dilemma to choose between being talked from her back or joining the crowded public bathroom. Everyone wants to enjoy their night with a refreshing bath.

"Hey, Niko-chan! Want to join us for a bath?" asked a student. The black haired girl looking at this student. She looks so dirty and her friends are sweaty. So disgusting and awkward.

"Nah thanks! I'm waiting for someone!" Niko replied immediately.

"Who? Hanayo-chan? Rin-chan? Or perhaps the Otonokizaka's Princess?" the student asked teasingly.

"Nah, they said they need to take care of some things first."

The students giggled.

"We know that. They are going to bath after us since we are taking turns in preparing for a party night."

"Huh? A party night?" Niko wondered.

"Yeah, at first, they only plan for nine people, but then they realize that maybe the party should be for everyone so they decided to make everyone prepare for the party. The theme is to celebrate a job well done."

Niko didn't know that.

"So who is it that you are waiting for?" the other student asked.

"Hmm, don't tell me, the Master Espion?!"

Well, Maki is indeed unoccupied and it's so easy to make her lie about something.

"Yeah. We promised to take a bath together." Niko said.

"Ooohhh! So you are going after the high standard. That's a good spirit, Niko-chan. Good luck." The student replied.

"Don't forget to tell us about how it felt like in the grand bathroom, ok? We want to fantasize about it sometime." The other said jokingly.

"Yea, huh? I'll tell you later." Niko replied with her smug face.

Now she might need to talk about this to Maki. She took her good chance to escape from the crowd of people lining for the public bathroom. Heading toward the Master Espion quarter, Niko scan through the area for any witness, then snuck in when she believes that no one saw her.

When she got in, she can see Maki already holding a towel and about to enter a room inside her quarter.

"Oi! Maki!" she called her

"Hm? What are you doing in my quarter?" Maki asked.

"Help me!"

"I'm on my break time. Ask someone else." The redhaired woman enter the room and slam her door.

"Oi-oi-oi!" Niko quickly run to the door, but that effort only stops at the time she heard the door locked.

"Come on! You only need to accompany me to the grand bathroom!" the little woman insisted.

"Huh? Why you want me to go there? I don't even go to the grand bathroom! I have my own private bathroom."

"I know that, you snob. But help me out for once, ok? Just pretend that we promised to go to bathroom together!"

"I don't use eastern bathroom, ok? The grand bathroom is eastern bathroom. My bathroom is western."

"Isn't that a good coincidence?! If you don't know how to use eastern bathroom, I'll teach you!"

"Not interested." Maki replied as the sound of water heard from the inside of her bathroom.

"Come ooon! Just for this once?" Niko begged.

Maki remained silent.

"If you do me this favor, I'll cook any western cuisine for you tonight. I got myself a few recipes from the palace's chef."

The water sound stopped. Maybe Maki is listening to her now.

"Can you cook spaghetti?"

"Is that the noodle with seasoned tomato sauce?"

"Yeah. I like it with extra tomatoes, savory grinded meat, parsley cuts and less amount of garlic. Oh, I usually add cheese powders and mozzarella too."

"You are such an expensive kid." Niko said.

Maki says nothing, but the water sound is enough to tell Niko that Maki is ignoring her.

"Hey! Ok! I'm sorry! I'll make it however you want it! Jumbo size if you got the appetite."

The water sound stops. A few seconds later, the door unlocked and Maki has her hair partially wet.

"So, what do you need me to do again?" she asked with her towel hung around her shoulder.

At the café;

Kotori, Umi, Honoka finished their preparation. They got quite dirty so they need to take a quick bath before meeting up with everyone.

"Haaah, I guess we still need to take a bath after all."

"We only have about an hour left before the meeting. Let's make sure that we do it quickly." Umi said.

"Then, I'll go prepare my stuff. Me, Kayo-chan and Rin-chan need to line up for bath." Kotori said.

"No, wait, Kotori. You can take a bath with us." Umi said.

"Yeah! The grand bathroom is not crowded too. It's better for quick bath!" Honoka said.

"Uhm… but…" Kotori averted her eyes.

"Who cares about title. I believe our leader will not mind it too. People won't talk from your back too, because they all know who you are." Umi said.

"No, Kayo-chan and Rin-chan…" Kotori still thinking.

"They can join us!" Honoka said.

Kotori turn her gaze to her two friends who seems to be still enjoying the menu at cafe.

"I'll go ask them. Why don't you and Honoka go first?" Umi said.

Kotori nodded with doubt while Honoka nodded cheerfully.

"Come on! Kotori-chan! Let's go prepare for a quick bath!"

The ginger haired woman quickly pull the ash brunette out of the café.

In the bath area;

Maki and Niko walks to the grand bathroom while People in the line for public bathroom looking at the two with envious eyes. Niko seems to be proud when she is holding Maki's hand, exactly the opposite of the redhaired woman who seems to be less interested on showing her emotion as she moves toward the entrance.

When they got in, Niko took a deep breath and Maki went ahead with placing her stuff in the locker. She is already in her long bathrobe. Only need to open and hang her robe to get on bath session. Niko is still fully dressed and still taking her time—this time, is to appreciate the luxurious looking bathroom.

"What with you all so sudden. There's nothing special with this bathroom."

"I was just trying to get in here without being talked from behind."

"Huh? What? Isn't that unavoidable? I believe they are doing that right now."

"Yeah, but at least it was something decent." Niko replied as she starts to prepare for her bath.

"We only have four lockers here, by the way. Just put yours in my locker and don't touch the others." Maki said. Niko examined Maki's locker, it looks clean and almost like a new locker.

"You rarely use your locker?"

"I only use them in some occasion. Sometime I don't even use it for bath." Maki replied.

"Is that so? Hmm…." Niko replied before she falls in her own thought.

"I told you, I rarely go here to bath. I have different culture, ok?" Maki said.

"Stick with it just for tonight! I'll make sure you get the best spaghetti you will ever taste!"

Maki remain silent, but her face said it all: she can't wait to see how it goes. She already knows that Niko is skilled in cooking, she often steals a few bites from her pan.

While the master espion wash her body at the leftmost of the water tap, the little girl took the rightmost of the water tap. The water tap is designed with magical tools—and its Nozomi's idea to make it since that's what she always use when she is in her real world. She has to make a few modification to adjust though. Instead of two water tap, she made three buttons that could control the water temperature. Blue button (made of sapphire) for cold water, green button (made of emerald) for normal water, then red (made of ruby) for hot water.

"Man, this felt so good. I don't have to wait for a long time to use this water tap." Niko said as she presses the green button.

Maki didn't respond to her remark. She doesn't even have anything interesting to say.

"Hey! Check this out! The tap has more features than the one in public bathroom." Niko said as she presses the red button. Suddenly a blaze of fire blast out of the tap.

"Whoa!" Niko quickly make a distance.

Maki witnessed the whole thing and she couldn't help to not laugh at her.

"God Damn it! Why are you laughing?! I'm nearly died!"

"Not sorry. It was funny. Should've seen your own stupid face." Maki said.

"Sheesh! Why would anyone have this dangerous thing here anyway?" Niko complained.

"The reason why Nozomi never release the feature yet because she wasn't ready. There are still something wrong with it, she will change that in the future."

"Is that so? So much for being a Great Grand Enchanter."

"Hey, Niko-chan. You know what, she told me this once: I'm a Great Grand Enchanter, my duty is to serves my people, to keep them safe and prosper."

"I knew that, duh! My point is, why would a Great Grand Enchanter do something as dangerous as that."

"Because she is protecting her people, duh! She doesn't want anyone to get hurt, so she took the first damage if she has to. Besides, I think she has no problem with self-heal. She has the greatest magic after all."

"If I'm her, I'll make someone else do the testing for me." Niko said.

"Yeah, that's why you are not the Great Grand Enchanter. It's not easy to be one, ok?" Maki said.

"I knew that too. I don't plan to replace her anyway. All I want is to sit where I fit." Niko replied.

Maki remained silent for a moment.

"It's not easy to be her, and it wasn't easy to be me too. While many students has started to accept me, some are still looking at me with those cold eyes. They thought I'm still a traitor, even though I have placed all my heart to serve under her, they still refuse to get that title off me."

"Bah, typical problem. My opinion is to ignore what they say. They don't know you, you know yourself. Even If you don't know yourself, you eventually will."

"Tch, you're a snob. If you are in my shoes, I bet you won't be saying that."

"My feet doesn't even fit your shoes. I'm born as a pure noble blood, you're born a loser." Maki said.

"Huh!? What did you say?"

"The real reason why you never feel fit in your place is because you didn't even try to sit comfortably."

"Oh yeah? I think you never sit comfortably too. Look at you! Being all paranoid about everyone."

"It's my job! I'm a master espion!"

"Not that it means you can't be friend anyone. I bet you don't even have anyone you like."

And before Maki could respond to her, the two heard something from the outside of the grand bathroom.

"Someone is coming…!" Niko panicked.

"Ah, Eli and Nozomi. I can sense them." Maki said.

"W-what?! You better hide me!"

"W-Why would I hide you and why are we hiding from them anyway?!"

"Just do that, ok? I can't let them know that I'm using this bathroom!"

"Then why are you asking me to get you here!?"

"Come on! Don't make me get in trouble!"

"T-This was all your stupid fault! You cause this on yourself! I'm not helping you!"

"Then what about the spaghetti?!"

"The S-Spaghetti!?"

"Yes! If I'm in trouble, you won't get your spaghetti!"

"F-Fine! I'll hide you! But don't make any noise, ok?"

Just a few seconds later, Eli and Nozomi got into the bathroom with their bathrobe. Maki pulled Niko to the locker and hid together.

"….and they said, why would the Great Grand Enchanter sit on the stairwell instead of the chair we prepared for her? Then I told them, with my humblest tone, because my clothes are dirty and I wish to not stain the chair." Nozomi said as she enter the room.

"Then? Did you manage to hold it back?"

"No, they insisted me to sit on the chair. They won't mind me staining their chair. So, yeah, you know, because it was so warm and fluffy and everything, I can't hold my fart and while I do that, I'm talking as loud as possible. Turns out that my fart was silent—but it's quite stinks and they totally didn't suspect me. They suspected someone else—it was the guard who came in at the same time with my fart."

"Oh God! Nozomi! Lucky you, huh?" Eli laughed.

"I told you, being a Great Grand Enchanter has its own benefit. But sometime I just wish that I never have to put all that mask when talking to them. I'm not the tidiest person, not even a perfect being. I'm lazy, slob, and eats like a pig."

"Yet you still able to keep this body posture."

"It's your contribution, Ericchi. If you're not the one who makes me do all those weight control program, I might be looking like that professional fire mage we met in the party."

The blonde giggled again.

"You should give yourself a little credit. I won't be able to control you if you don't want to be controlled by me."

"I gave myself enough credit, by being so confident when having a good fun times with you." Nozomi said as she winked on Eli. The blonde laughed again.

"So, what happened to the guard?" Eli asked.

"People were looking at him with these cold eyes, then I said: Mercy for your soul, I respect people who have worked so hard to fulfill their duty."

Eli laugh harder as she heard it.

"What duty? Taking the blame for you?"

"Well, that's the truth, but everyone thinks that what I was saying is that the guard might smells bad because he was working so hard to guard things. Then there is this person saying: he could've took a bath before meeting the Great Grand Enchanter."

"Did you say like: I care nothing about that?"

"No, I said, time is merciless, but my forgiveness is limitless for those who faithfully do his job. Let him go and continue our discussion."

"Isn't that just a poetic way to say: thanks for taking the blame. Now you can go and pretend that nothing ever happened here?"

"It is! But anyhow! We continue the discussion like nothing ever happened. Then surprisingly too, I got myself an advantage since many of them felt bad for that happening."

"Speaking of something smelly, do you smell anything?"

"Other than the scent of our body, no." Nozomi replied.

"I smell a yokai and a human." Eli said.

"Shouldn't that me and you?"

"No, not my scent, not your scent. It's a little vague since you smell pretty strong." Eli said as she keeps looking around.

Darn it, she knows!

Nozomi could hear someone speaking—from the inside of the locker.

"In the locker." Nozomi said as she pointed to the locker.

"Maki's locker?" Eli asked.

"Yes. I heard it."

W-What?! She can hear my spirit talking?!

Now Nozomi knows who's speaking.

"Hmm… I certainly smell something there." Eli walks to examine the locker. She is sniffing the gap of the locker and eventually opening the locker door. Nozomi certainly able to see Maki and Niko there, but Eli is acting like all she can do is smelling them."

"Maki… are you here?" Eli asked.

Maki didn't respond, she seems to be thinking and observing in the same time.

"Are you bringing someone here? I can smell someone else that I rarely smell." Eli said.

Nozomi, help me! Get her off the locker!

Nozomi totally heard that. But why? How can she ask why? Should she just assume things right now? Maki and Niko are fashion-less, wet, and hiding in a locker…

Are they doing what she thinks they are doing?

Nozomi!

Maki called her again as Eli sniff closer to them.

"Ericchi, why don't we ignore that and do something more interesting?" she asked as she grab Eli's shoulder. Eli turned around, she looks pretty serious for a moment, but then her eyes suddenly sparks as if she got an idea.

"You are right, why don't we?" Eli asked with flirtatious smile.

Nozomi has a bad feeling about this. Eli is gazing at her so hungrily while pushing her further to the other side of the wall.

"E-Eh? Ericchi, let's not do that in a public place." She said.

"Oh, it's alright, it will be fun. We should give them a good show." Eli whispered.

"Good show?!" Nozomi flustered.

"You know, because someone is hiding right there with someone else, they might be up to for something fun before we got there. We need to teach them a little lesson."

"Lesson?"

"Yep, we're not actually going to do it. But we will make ourselves look like actually doing it."

That sounds fun.

The other her said.

You think it really will?

Yes, let's start from pretending that we are so aroused and wanted to give a little hand job.

"So, what should we do here?" Nozomi asked flirtatiously as she lean close to Eli and grope what between her legs

Hey! Hey! Nozomi! You heard me, right? Don't tell me you are going to do it here right in front of me!

Maki said.

The purplenette ignored her, pretending that she heard no one.

"Nozomi! Don't actually touch it! I might actually get a boner!" Eli warned her with a whisper.

"Oops." Nozomi giggled.

"I can't control my manhood yet, so be very careful, ok?"

"I know, sorry." The great grand enchanter giggled again before she makes a little distance with the length.

Nozomiii! Don't do that! You are ruining my eyes!

Maki protested as Eli began to fake her moan while Nozomi trying her best to not actually touch the soft (yet tempting) length. Both of Eli and Nozomi glancing at the locker, while Eli can only smell her scent, Nozomi can see Maki trying to cover her eyes while Niko seems to hold her own mouth.

"Uhmm… Look at you, being soft and everything. Should I tough you up with my mouth?" Nozomi asked suggestively.

No-no-no! Don't! Just don't!

Maki yelled.

"Sure." Eli smiled as she spread her bathrobe while Nozomi kneeled. She can see the length still dangling between her legs, smell just as exotic and tempting as before. Maybe Nozomi wants another round after all, but not now and not here too.

Nozomi pretend to give her a blowjob, by covering the sight with the bath robe and moving her head back and forth, glancing at Eli who's still pretending to enjoy the moment. When she change her glance at Maki and Niko, they looked like they are seeing something that they really don't want to see—it's too late to undo it and they can't even walk out or protesting.

Suddenly, Eli lift her head, realizing that someone else are coming to the area.

"Umi!" Eli said.

Nozomi quickly stood up—and her nose accidentally hits Eli's length when she tries to stand up, showing it out of her bathrobe for a second. Maybe Niko and Maki saw that, but that probably makes the prank goes better. They look like they are about to drop their jaws.

"Whoooaaaa!" Rin suddenly appear in the bathroom with her bath stuff in a basket and still wearing her dirty miner clothes.

"Oh! Rin-chan!" Nozomi greeted her cheerfully.

"Ah! Nozomi-chan! We'll be joining your bath tonight!" Rin said.

"Really? That sounds fun!" Nozomi said.

From that time, Nozomi knows that Maki and Niko's face changed. Maki seems to regret something while Niko looks so surprised by what she sees.

"Hehe, excuse us." Hanayo said when she came in to the bathroom.

"Excuse us too!" Kotori said cheerfully along with Umi and Honoka behind her, greeting with their own way.

"Oo! So the Otonokizaka princess is here too?"

"There! I don't have such title! My mother doesn't even own Otonokizaka!" she said.

"Well, she rules Otonokizaka." Nozomi said.

"Don't be silly! You are the one who rules it, Nozomi!" Kotori said.

"Let me fix this for you." Eli said as she steps forward slightly between Kotori and Nozomi.

"Nozomi's reign is as big as the light reach, your mother's reign is on Otonokizaka, so, technically, she is the queen of Otonokizaka and you are the princess." She continued.

"She is right, even though there are still more people up there having the right to control your mother's action, all decision is led by her and you are her daughter so technically, you are the Otonokizaka Princess." Umi said.

"I'm not even born on the east!" Kotori said.

"Kotori-chan! You are just being too modest!" Honoka said.

"E-eehh!?"

"Yes, I agree. Kotori! You should be more confident!" Umi said.

They walked in and to Niko's surprise again, they are able to pull out showers from the wall near the currently empty tub.

"We should make sure to be as clean as possible before getting in the tub!" Umi said.

"Let's just fill the tub first!" Nozomi said as she run to water tap on the tub, pressing red and blue button in the same time to create hot water.

"Ohh! Is that working properly now?" Kotori asked.

"Not yet, I'm still thinking of a way to make the red button works like pressing both green and red in the same time!" Nozomi said.

"I see, then call me anytime if you need me!" Kotori said cheerfully.

What's more shocking for Niko is when she looks at the person next to her—she is already not there anymore. She is already returning to the leftmost water tap and pretend like she has been there for a long time!

"Oh! Maki-chan!" Rin ran to her.

"Ah, Maki, I didn't know you were here." Umi said.

"Heh, a change of environment would be fun." Maki said.

"Niko-chan, what are you doing in the locker?" Hanayo asked.

Well, damn. Niko didn't know that the master espion could cleverly left her behind.

"Uhh…I'm…" Niko couldn't explain herself, she turn her eyes to Nozomi and Eli.

the two aren't helping her though. They totally pretend that nothing ever happened before then.

"Isn't that what she always do? Being overly paranoid and weird?" Maki said.

"H-Hey! Don't just pretend like you aren't involved with me being in the locker!" Niko said.

"Yeah, all I did was opening the locker for you then you get in there as soon as you hear everyone else coming." Maki said.

"Niko-chan, you are so weird-nya! I like that!" Rin said cheerfully.

"Don't say that, sheesh!" Niko complained.

"Niko, shower or the traditional one?" Umi asked casually. The little girl wonders why no one felt weird with her existence here.

"Shower?" Niko replied. She doesn't know what shower is, not yet.

"Then I'll set it up for you." Umi said.

"Hey, Umi. Set one for me too. I'm getting a little tired from the traditional way." Maki said.

"Sure, do you want me to teach you how to set it up too?" Umi asked.

"Please." Maki replied as she immediately approach Umi.

"Niko-chan! What about the soap? Traditional soap? Foam? Or liquid?"

"Uh…foam?" Niko replied—she doesn't know what foam soap is, but it sounds cool anyway.

They went on like nothing has ever happened. Umi teaching Maki how to set up the shower while watched by Rin, Nozomi talks about the water system with Kotori and Hanayo, Eli trying to make sure everyone's wardrobe is in a dry spot, then Honoka prepare the soap and shampoo for everyone. How could Niko never realize that she has many good friends already? Maybe she should actually appreciate them some more.

Bath session starts, they are still talking to each other. Umi and Maki still talks about the shower management, Hanayo, Nozomi, and Kotori are still talking about the water system, Rin starts a conversation with Eli and they're talking about some running shoes that Niko doesn't understand then there's Honoka busy with listening to people and trying to fit in. She eventually fits in with Rin and Eli since she got quite a knowledge about equipment, but Niko still couldn't find the right place yet. Maybe she should talk with Umi and Maki first? They are the easiest to understand at the moment, no need for complex knowledge—or so she thinks.

"…so basically, the engine isn't inside, but under?"

"Yes, it detects your body size from your weight and height."

"What it do with those?" Maki asked.

"Nothing at the moment. Nozomi said that she will do something with it later." Umi replied.

"Oh…" Maki smirked.

"Very useful." She continued sarcastically.

Maybe Niko shouldn't join this conversation. Too 'serious' and 'useful'. She moved her attention to Nozomi, Kotori and Hanayo.

"….so then I was like, how can a soft object turn hard? As an alchemist, I have to know how!" Kotori said.

Somehow, Niko doesn't like how the conversation starts.

"Then I put everything on my little map, writing everything that could go from soft to hard."

Niko doesn't even want to know the list. All thanks to what she saw last time. She knows that soft thing between the specific blonde legs can go hard.

"Can I see the list?" Nozomi asked.

"Uhm… Actually, my list is not that good. All I wrote was from liquid to solid, but not solid to something more solid." Kotori tried to explain.

"Oh, so you wrote stuff like Jelly?" Hanayo asked.

"Yeah, something like that." Kotori said.

"Then, I suggest you to add bread."

"Bread?"

"Yeah, in specific steps, you can make bread as hard as a wood. That's without magic so I believe you can do better with magic." Hanayo said.

"Ooohh! You are right! Thanks for reminding me! I totally forgot that we can do that!" Kotori said.

"Hehe, yep, no problem."

"What about you, Nozomi-chan? Any idea?"

"Muscles." Nozomi replied.

Does Nozomi has to say that? Niko hates that so much. Maybe she should step in after all.

"Do you have to give that answer?!" Niko protested.

"Hmm? What's wrong with muscles, Nikocchi?" Nozomi asked.

"I know what you are trying to tell them, but heck, what's the occasion!? Why do you have to list stuff that could go from soft to hard?!" Niko asked.

"Uh. For our new project."

"What is it?" Niko asked.

"Something to enchant strength." Hanayo said.

"Yeah, the object is pretty long and if used too often, it will become soft." Kotori said.

Niko doesn't even want to guess it.

"The object is pretty elastic too so it's really difficult, freezing it will not solve the problem, we need to make it able to endure heat and still elastic."

"Hey-hey-hey, just answer my damn question. What is that object?!" Niko asked.

"Uh…we don't have name yet." Kotori said.

"It's a special rubber that we made for the new water tap engine." Nozomi said.

Right, they have been talking about that. What Niko is thinking?

"Actually, I think muscle is the answer. Maybe you can learn the structure? I believe the library has a lot of books for that." Hanayo said.

"Well, I can tell you where and how you can learn about muscle system and structure. But you will really need your lovely girlfriend's help." Nozomi said with a mischievous smile.

"Oh. You're right, Umi-chan got plenty of muscles. I believe I can examine hers."

"Yep-yep, that's right!" Nozomi said.

Niko still dislikes what Nozomi trying to suggest.

"Oh, and, Kotori-chan. You know. There's a specific muscle that could help your research."

"Which part is it?" Kotori asked innocently. Nozomi lean closer to her ears and whispered something. Hanayo seems curious, but if it meant to be a secret, she couldn't do much.

"O-ohh!" Kotori blushes madly.

"Hehe, it's a good opportunity. Yokai is versatile."

"I will certainly ask that!" the ash brunette said excitedly.

Somehow, Niko felt like she couldn't tell them what in her mind, but what can she do anyway? She can't possibly guess it out of nowhere or making Hanayo even more curious than she looks like right now.

After half an hour;

Everyone are done with washing their body. Niko aren't sure why she still couldn't find herself comfortable around them. Even though she can feel that she is surrounded by kind people, she just couldn't find herself to fit there with them.

They already prepared the hot tub and everything. Went in and take their own position. Niko is the one who went in first before Honoka who took the middle spot. Niko would like to be next to her but she couldn't have any idea about how to talk to her. So she decided to take a spot somewhere a little further—right at the furthest corner.

She heard people are coming in to the tub, but, she didn't expect that all of them are following her. Maki took the spot right next to her, then there's Nozomi followed by Eli at the other side. Rin and Hanayo take the spot next to Maki, then Kotori and Umi next to Honoka.

"Haaah… it's so calming to be here with my favorite peoples." Nozomi said.

"Are we?" Eli asked suggestively.

"It's true. All of you are my favorites. I'll add the other nine too."

"Are you talking about Chika, You, Riko, Hanamaru, Ruby, Yoshiko, Kanan, Mari, and Dia?" Maki asked.

"Yeah, they are also my favorites. Hard workers, easy to cooperate with, and most importantly, willing to dedicate their life for me." Nozomi said.

"Yeah, they are indeed good at working and loyal." Maki said.

"Huh? Did I just hear you appreciating someone?" Niko asked. She just somehow wanted to respond to that statement, ignoring the discomfort that she felt a while ago.

"N-Nothing wrong with that!"

"It's so rare-nya!" Rin said.

"Hehe, not really. You just need to stop picking on her and she will tell you." Hanayo said.

"Hanayo is right! You two are like always picking on me!" Maki protested to Rin and Niko.

"There-there, all of you. Stop being cute or I might give you all unforgettable massage." Nozomi said.

"Ooo! I can use a massage!" Honoka said.

"Really? You want to try?" Nozomi asked.

"Sure! Give me a massage that I will never forget!" Honoka said as she offered her back.

Nozomi smiled and she raises both of her hands. At that moment, everyone starts to know that maybe it wasn't a good idea.

Nozomi grab both of Honoka's breast, twisting it roughly and squeezes it.

"WAaaaaarrghhgG!" the ginger girl shouted in pain.

Kotori and Umi cringed, they couldn't even imagine how painful that would be. How did Nozomi learn that technique anyway?

Honoka lost all of her energy so quickly as Nozomi repeated her attack. When she was left by the purplenette, she floats on the surface.

"H-Honoka-chan! Honoka-chan!" Kotori tried to help her.

"Hmm…servers you right. You can't just say 'ok' to everything you find interesting." Umi nodded.

"Next?" Nozomi asked as she glare to Rin, Niko, Maki, and Hanayo.

"N-Niko-chan want to try-nya!" Rin said.

"W-what?!" Niko retorted.

"Yeah, she is been sooo wanting to try it!" Maki said.

"N-not you too!" Niko protested.

"I heard it too." Hanayo nodded.

"She wants it more than anyone else!" she continued.

"W-what?! Not you too!" Niko said.

"Is that so? Then…" Nozomi smiled, she already prepared her hands to attack.

"O-Oi! Eli! Hold her back would you?!" Niko said.

"Hmm? Why?" Eli asked— her face is smiling mischievously.

"B-because—….!" And before Niko could finish, Nozomi already attacked her.

"Aaaargghghgh…!"

The next thing Niko remember that she was dragged to the wall near the tub and Rin encouraged her to survive as if she is about to die. The pain is too much for her.

"Looks like she has a very low defense, Ericchi. I used too much power." Nozomi said.

"Naturally, because she is small." Eli said.

Niko would complain if someone tell her that she is small, but she is too damn weak for that.

"By the way, should we not spend too much time here?" Maki asked.

"We still have about 1 hour if that's what you are asking. Starting our party early makes the fun gone earlier." Eli said.

"I agree. We should take our times here. Let's talk about something together." Umi said.

"Then, let's talk about what we just did before going to bath!" Rin said.

From since that idea given, Eli and Nozomi seems to be a little nervous.

"Ah! You are right! I'd like to hear about everyone's activities!" Honoka said as she suddenly wakes up from her weak status.

"Y-You are a strong girl!" Nozomi commented.

"Good-good, at least you can wake up from your fall." Umi commented.

"So! What's everyone doing before going to bath?"

"Helping you setting up the party?" Umi said.

"No! After that one! There's still about twenty minutes before bath, right?!" Honoka said.

"A-Are you personally just curious about it?!" Umi said.

"Yeah! Because Umi-chan is so quick to disappear!"

"I was just… tending to my wings!" Umi said. The silent on the middle of her sentence tells everyone that she is lying.

"But when I found you and Kotori-chan, you two are like cleaning your mouths!"

Nozomi might know what they were doing.

"W-we were just snacking!" Kotori said.

"SEEEEE!? You two are snacking without me!" Honoka pouts.

Well, maybe Honoka is still a little too innocent for the 'snacking' term.

"I'll give you them later!" Kotori said.

"Really?! Then…" Honoka starts to request for a lot of snacks.

"hey, Kayo-chin! Can we have snacking session too-nya?" Rin asked.

"Sure! I have a lot of rice crackers." Hanayo said.

"Rice cracker…?" Rin flustered.

Nozomi know what rice crackers are, but what important is now she is starting to believe that someone could be so obsessed with rice.

"Heh, what with all these snacks conversation." Maki smirked.

"Have you ever taste cherry tomato?" Niko asked.

"Huh? Cherry tomato?" Maki raises her eyebrows.

"They are small like cherry but a tomato. Many extravagant cuisines use them. When I learn from your chef, they never mention them to be in your favorite menu."

"Hmm… think I have eaten them." Maki said.

"Cool, I have a few food recipes with those. Care to try?" Niko asked.

"Are you seriously asking me?"

"I'm serious! I needed someone to try it before I cook them for my family later."

"Huh!? So you want me to be a tester? I guess I don't mind." Maki replied with shy smile.

"That's a deal, huh? I'll start cooking for you tonight."

"Hmm…alright, so…"

Maki starts to ask about the food she is about to eat.

Somehow, I feel like we're still divided by a small group.

The other her said.

I think the same. It's always been like this, huh? Umi-chan with Kotori and Honoka, then Hanayo , Rin, Niko and Maki are always hanging out together then that leave us with Ericchi.

Maybe we should make something. Like a party game that could make people hang out with people other than who they're close with?

Hmm… I never have any party game other than the one we just had.

Uh, is that so? Then, let's play werewolves. It's also a game from the west but actually fun."

W-werewolves?

Yes, it's a card game. Ericchi have the card in her bag.

Why does she have something like that?

I liked the picture, I asked Ericchi to buy it for me but she never get to give it to me.

Hmm... alright, so let's take it to the next thing we will do.

At the next hour;

Each of them has returned to their own place to prepare for the hang out. While it's not necessary to dress in luxury, everyone wanted to be at least appear neat and casually attractive. People will be looking at them and it will be embarrassing if they look like a mess.

Nozomi and Eli are still inside their quarter, tidying their stuff and prepare for the small party. While they are close to finish, Nozomi left her task to Eli and trying to get what she wants to get. She starts to search inside Eli's bag and immediately, the blonde notices her.

"What are you looking for, honey?"

"Uhm... Werewolves card." Nozomi replied.

Eli raises her eyebrows, surprised.

"Honey, it's not there." She said before she drops what she held, approaching a cupboard and reach a small box. The box shaped like a deformed werewolf head, colored in dark blue metal and decorated with red rubies. It looked very expensive.

"Here." Eli handed it to her.

Nozomi quietly opened the box, the back picture of the card already looks very interesting to her, then when she checks out the front. She couldn't do anything else than showing how much she loves the art of the card.

"I didn't expect you to ask for that right now. I thought you already forgot it." Eli said.

"I wanted this so bad, why would I forget it?"

The other her said immediately. Nozomi would like to say the same thing, except she wanted to know where did she get it.

"Sorry, it was because you never asked about it anymore." Eli replied.

Nozomi believe the other her might be too shy to tell her feeling, not to her, not to herself.

"You made a distance with me at the day after, I thought you was asking for it just to place me away from you." The blonde said.

"Stupid, it's not like that!"

The other her yelled.

"Why would I lie to you about what I like? I want you to know everything about me."

She continued. Eli remain silent for a moment, she smiled and approach her closer. She hugged her calmly and give her a gentle pat on her head.

"There-there, Nozomi. I'm very sorry for being such a dense, ok?" she said.

"You should join the game this time. I don't want you to skip it."

"I will. Don't worry."

"And I want you to be serious!"

"Ok, and…?"

"Don't do anything that will make me aroused!"

Nozomi would disagree, but the other her is so sure about it. Alas, is that even necessary to say?

"I can't guarantee that one."

"Why?"

"My voice is always too sexy for you." Eli said playfully.

Nozomi felt like she was forced to pout to that statement.

"I'm not that easy to get aroused!"

The other her said. Eli responds with a soft chuckle.

"Oh I'm sure about that." The blonde intentionally said it with suggestive voice. She grabbed Nozomi's breast, gave her one teasing squeeze, then kissed her neck before heading back to where she was after winking so flirtatiously to her. Clearly, Eli did all that intentionally.

I knew it.

The other her said.

What?

I knew she will flirt on us. Let's do a little more push.

Wait-wait! We are about to hang out with the others! We can't spend too much time!

I know! But the game will be a lot more fun with that.

With Ericchi flirting?

Yes! On us! She will try to test what we said.

That's your plan?!

What's wrong with that plan?

You actually going to make Eli flirt on us in public?

Nah, she won't be doing that in public. Not that I know what she will do. She is always up for something unexpected.

Oh dear.

Nozomi sighed to herself. She wonders what will happen in the party. She just hopes that it's nothing too vulgar.

The cruise's café;

Everyone gathered here, enjoying the beautiful night under the bright blue sky with glittering stars and some magical objects such as floating island which considered as normal thing here. Nozomi has to say that she really like the night here. At least it's so much better than Tokyo—it's always bright on the ground and the sky always looked so dark, she barely sees the starlight!

Here in the cruise, with only a few magical lights surrounding them, they sat around a round table, with the werewolves card box.

"So…what is this?" Niko asked boldly as she examine the box from distance.

"I feel magic is inside it." Hanayo said.

"Heh, I know that game. It's a very old and classic party game." Maki said.

"Hmm… care to tell us?" Umi asked.

"Sure, you basically pick a card for your role then play as it." Maki replied.

"That's very… informative." Umi replied awkwardly.

"Hehe, each box has different rule, Umi-chan. We have to hear it out from the moderator inside the box. What Maki-chan said is the general rule." Kotori said.

"Oh?"

"Then, should we start the game?" Nozomi asked.

"No-no, wait! I need to make sure everyone's order is coming here!" Honoka said.

"Right, shouldn't you be cooking for me?" Maki asked.

"Huh? Not now. I asked the chef and he said he already prepared your food. Maybe tomorrow." Niko said.

"Bah, fine. I'll wait, ok? You owe me." Maki said a little disappointedly.

"Actually, let me get something straight, ok?" Niko said before she beckoned to Honoka and gone to the kitchen.

"Where did you get this?" Umi asked.

"I bought it from a traveling merchant. He said the creator is an alchemist from the north, my homeland." Eli replied.

So that's where it came from.

"The decoration looks a little scary, but I guess I like the way it fits the theme." Kotori replied.

"Nozomi loves the design so much. She said, the art is really beautiful." Eli said.

It's true, she loves the art so much.

"W-Well, it certainly looks mysteriously attractive." Hanayo said, she seems to be a little scared.

"hehe, I think the wolf head is kind of cute. I wonder if the werewolves are going to be as cute-nya?"

"Do you happen to know how the game works?" Maki asked.

"We are going to pick a random magical card, right-nya? Then there will be a moderator explain the rule of the game, we will pretend that we are a group of villager trying to look for the werewolf of the game. When he say the sun rise, the villagers will have the chance to eliminate someone from the game, then when he say the night fall, werewolf will get the chance to eliminate someone from the game. There will be also a werewolf hunter and other role, they are either assisting the werewolf or assisting the villager."

Rin explained.

"Wow, you do know the game." Maki said.

"Hehe, I've played it once with friends. Those guys are so hilarious-nya." Rin said.

"How hilarious?" Kotori asked curiously.

"Well, it's all about trust. Sometime if a pair of best friends are getting role that is against each other, the games gets a lot more fun because they trust each other but have to eliminate each other."

"W-Will that ruin their friendship?" Kotori asked.

"Nah, the opposite. Because it's a game, and guys never takes them seriously, it's all fun. Maybe they just end up with chasing each other and play brawl-nya." Rin replied with a giggle.

"B-b-brawl?!" Hanayo exclaimed.

"Ah, true. It's a game after all, no one should take it seriously." Kotori said.

"P-please tell me about the roles!" Hanayo said.

"Hmmm… well, werewolf hunters are capable of detecting the werewolf presence, but they couldn't eliminate them on their own. They have to be able to convince the villagers at the day time for that. Though, they have to make sure that they aren't known to be a werewolf hunter. Usually, the game has more than 1 werewolf, so if they are known, they'll surely be targeted by the other werewolf-nya." Rin said.

"The other roles are guardian angel and witch. Guardian angel protect one person each night, if the person she protects attacked, the attack will fail, but if the guardian angel attacked, the guardian angel will be eliminated. For witch role, we have to ask that to the moderator since it may be different in each box-nya."

"That sounds fun. I can't wait to play it!" Kotori said.

"Actually, I think the box has more roles than those." Eli said.

"Really-nya?" Rin asked.

"Looking at the box, that box looked like a complete card. We might be able to play with more than 20 peoples." Maki said.

"We should play them with everyone then!" Rin said.

"H-Huh? Well, I don't mind but maybe not with everyone here. We got too much peoples for the cards." Maki said.

"I see-nya." Rin sighed sadly.

"It might be a little dangerous too. If we don't have enough, we may have to leave some and it can cause jealousy or chaotic behavior." Kotori said.

"Yeah, who don't want to play with the Great Grand Enchanter?" Eli said a little suggestively.

"Let's just play it with the nine of us, no more, no less." Nozomi said.

"H-How honored! I-I mean, am I invited?" Hanayo asked.

"Of course, you've been my friend before people know me as a Great Grand Enchanter." Nozomi said.

"Yeah, you and Niko-chan!" Kotori said.

"Y-You too! Kotori-chan! You've been paying a visit to the village from time to time." Hanayo said.

"She is right, you're my friend too, so don't be too modest, ok?" Nozomi said.

"Hehe, well, yes. Me too!" Kotori said cheerfully—and with a faint blush on her cheek.

"So, how this games actually works? We pick cards, then play as the role?" Umi asked. She seems to be not getting the whole idea yet.

"Yes." Maki said.

"Do we have to play it like a drama?"

"Not really, we just accuse peoples and pretending to be something. It's not that hard." Maki said.

"Hmm… then, I'll try to do my best for that." Umi said.

"I'm sure you can do it just fine." Maki replied as she starts to twirl the tip of her red hair and averted her eyes away.

Somehow, I feel like Umi will be having a very hard time here.

Said the other her.

Huh? Why?

She is bad at faking her expression. That's why I prefer Kanan do most of the difficult negotiation job.

As a Yatagarasu, that's surprising.

I know, but for real. Just look at how this will go, I can bet all my money that she will be eliminated first.

Alright. Let's see that.

After a while, Niko and Honoka returned with a crate of liquors on their arm.

"Everyone! Uh… the chef is having a little trouble in the kitchen. They told us to wait a little longer." Honoka said nervously.

"W-What's happening?" Hanayo asked.

"L-let's just play, ok? We got a few bottles to drink!" Niko said.

"Should we go help them?" Nozomi offered.

"No-no, that's what they fear. We shouldn't help them. So yeah, meanwhile, we should enjoy our night with drinking." Niko said.

"My, isn't that fun?" Eli said.

"I'm not into it, but I guess if that's what we are going to do together." Maki said.

"I'm not against it either, drinking might boost my confidence." Umi said.

"Hehe, I like them so I'll go with that plan." Kotori said.

"S-same, but I prefer sake." Hanayo said.

"I'll try any-nya!" Rin said.

They placed the crate down and distribute the bottles on the table. Each bottles are different and it seems that not many of them know about it.

"Hehe, hmmm…which one I should drink first…" Kotori said.

"Uh… what are these-nya?" Rin asked.

"Well the chef said that each bottle is the best liquor from their origin. We have here the—…"

"I'll take this." Eli cuts in as she took a bottle with light blue glass. The bottle is labeled with a brand that written with Cyrillic.

"O-oi! Share! We just have one bottle!" Niko said.

"Hmmm? I already tried the others so I'm going to take this one." Eli said.

"I like that one." Kotori pointed at a bottle with dark green glass, branded with a picture of a bird. Nozomi couldn't read the name of the brand since it sounds like a French brand.

"I'm going for that one!" Hanayo said as she pointed at a brown glass bottle. Clearly, it's a sake. The brand name is familiar to Nozomi, the name is Kinokake Sake with a picture of rice paddy on the label.

"I'll go for that one." Maki said as she pointed at a red glass bottle with white tiger stripe on the label. That might be the western liquor or something.

"Hnnmm… I might have to smell each of them-nya, I don't remember the name but I remember the smell-nya!" Rin said cheerfully.

"Ooo! I want the one with black glass bottle!" Honoka said.

"Hey-hey! I told you! These are for everyone! No one picks one bottle for their own!" Niko said.

Nozomi feels like everyone already know what they like, maybe she just let that go.

"What about you, Nozomi-chan? Any liquor you like?" Kotori asked.

"Hmm…? Well… not really." Nozomi replied.

The only liquor we need is the one from Ericchi.

The other her said with a chuckle.

Hey! What with that? You're joking to yourself?

It's true, you want one from Ericchi, right?

I do… but…

"I'll take that one for Nozomi." Eli said as she pointed to a wine bottle.

"A wine? That's not even a real liquor." Niko said.

"It's on the list, so why not?" Eli said.

The bottles are distributed again according to their favorite. They took the empty wine glass off the other crate that Niko and Honoka brought. One by one opening their bottle. Even though each of them are holding their favorite, they still share their drinks to the other and what Niko want is granted after all.

"Now! Let's start the game!" Honoka said.

"Yeah! Who wants to be the moderator?" Niko asked.

"That box doesn't need a real moderator. It has its own moderation tool." Eli said.

"Really? Then, how do we use it?" Kotori asked.

"Let's see here." The blonde picks the box. She switched a small switch under the lock, listening to the sound of the switch, Eli might have been switching it nine times. The box has an opening under the lock, spawning nine cards like an Automated Teller Machine taking out money. Eli places down the card on the table, then proceed to channel a magic on the cards.

As soon as she channeled the magic, the cards scrambled on the sky then one by one flying to someone's hand. Nozomi watched each of her friends got one card, but she couldn't see what they get. When her card flies down to her, she can see a picture of a sexy female with suggestive pose and a wine glass on her hand.

The card says: Harlot.

Whoah, already?

The other her said.

What Harlot do?

Role blocking.

Role blocking? Like how?

Read the front cover, there should be an explanation for the role.

Hmm…alright, let's see.

Nozomi carefully read the explanation:

Harlot can choose to visit a player at night. The player that visited by a harlot will not be able to perform his or her role's night ability. If a harlot visit a werewolf or a serial killer, there's a chance for them to be killed depending on the werewolf or the serial killer's choice. Then if harlot visit someone who are attacked by werewolf or serial killer, harlot eliminated with them. But if a werewolf or a serial killer visit harlot when harlot decided to pay a visit to somewhere, they couldn't eliminate harlot. Harlot wins with the villager.

Hmm… so that means we have to make sure to not visiting a good role such as the hunters?

Yes, but we won't be able to know what they are. We just block their role and that's it.

So guessing time then?

Yep.

I'm good at that.

"Everyone got their cards?" Eli asked.

"Yeah, start it." Maki said.

"Go ahead." Umi said.

"Let's goo!" Honoka, Rin, Kotori and Nozomi shouted cheerfully before darkness enveloped Nozomi's vision.

A small round village with nine cottages surrounding a campfire;

Looks like this is where the game is going on. They can see each other under the fake daylight, no longer holding a card since it's already gone from their hand. Then there's Eli holding a piece of paper, reading it thoroughly as if it's very important.

"Is that the rule, Eli-chan?" Kotori asked.

"Yes. It is. I'll read it out loud." Eli said.

Everyone pays attention to her.

"In this game, we have 2 Werewolves, 2 Werewolves Hunters, 1 Harlot, 1 Jester and 3 villagers." She said.

"Uh… Harlot? Jester?" Rin wondered.

"Harlot is a role blocker, she will block one player's night ability every night. Then as for jester, they win only when everyone chooses her to be eliminated during the day light, any other result mean defeat for the jester." Eli explained.

"So that means they have to be as annoying as possible, huh?" Niko asked.

Maki seems to notice something as Niko said it.

"That surprisingly easy to do." The girl continued. Everyone seems to be quiet as Niko said it. Maybe they realize Niko is probably a jester?

"Back to the rules written here, each role will have 5 minutes to act. In this matter, Harlot will move first at night, then werewolf hunters, then last is the werewolves. Roles with multiple member only can choose one victim or target every night, so coordination is very important for them." Eli continue her explanation.

"Last thing is about victory condition. Villagers win when all werewolves are eliminated, but werewolves win when there's only 1 of any other role left with them. In other word, even if all werewolf hunters are eliminated, the games will move on until then."

"Ok, that sounds simple-nya!" Rin said cheerfully.

"The first night is a night of peace, no one will be able to use their night ability so let's return to our cottage and prepare ourselves to play our role for the next day." Eli said.

"Ok!" Everyone replied before each of them returns to their own cottage.

Nozomi noticed that everyone's cottages are just the same, except they have the name tag hung on each of their door. She should remember their location to make sure that she isn't visiting a wrong house.

When she got into her cottage, she can see a sofa and a bookcase, then three roles written on the wall next to the door. It says:

Harlot

Werewolf Hunters

Werewolves

Looks like that's the time sign. When Harlot shines, that means it's our turn to act. Let's make sure we get to visit everyone, ok?

The other her said.

Are we really not be able to find out who they are?

We can, by talking to them.

Oh.

We should do that when we got the chance.

I don't think they will say it though. They must extremely secretive with their role. A leaking secret can be bad for them.

Alright. So let's just hook up for the information.

I like how that sounds. 'hook up' for information.

Then suddenly, a sound of a rooster heard from the outside.

That's the day light, let's go out and meet everyone.

Ok!

Nozomi replied to herself before she walks out of her cottage. Everyone are still here to gather and each of them are showing their own reaction to their role.

"I hate my role." Maki said with a tired sigh.

"Why?" Kotori asked.

"Because we couldn't do anything-nya!" Rin said boldly. That means Rin and Maki might be a regular villager, but what if they say that to avoid anyone seeing them as any other role?

"Girls, I can't do this." Niko said.

"Why?" Kotori asked again.

"The next night is not going to be a peaceful night, right? Someone is going to be eliminated." Niko said sadly—overly dramatic sad face too.

"That's why! Before things go worse, I beg you all to vote me to be eliminated!" Niko said.

Clearly, she is the jester.

"Nope." Honoka said.

"Not interested-nya!" Rin said.

"Yeah, me too. Not interested." Kotori said.

"Count me out for that." Hanayo said.

"Same here, count me out." Maki said.

"Hmmph. As a warrior of justice, I will protects everyone, therefore, I couldn't vote to eliminate an innocent." Umi said with blazing courage.

Hey now, isn't that telling everyone that she is a werewolf hunter or something of sort?

That's how terrible she is.

The other her sighed.

She'll certainly be eliminated tonight.

Yeah.

Nozomi agreed to herself.

"The night will fall soon, everyone. Let's go back to our cottage." Eli said.

"Ok!" Everyone agreed and they left to return to their cottage.

Once again they returned to the cottage.

Who should we visit tonight?"

Nozomi thought as she keep looking at her role name, waiting for it to signal her to move.

Who else? Let's do what a real harlot do.

What?

You know what I mean.

Here? Now?

15 minutes, we can do a very quick one.

Oh dear.

Nozomi sighed to herself.

Go!

She agreed as she notices her name lit. Quickly, she searched for the specific person's cottage. As soon as she opened the door, she can see Eli sitting on the chair inside the cottage. She looks very surprised.

"My, so a harlot visits me tonight?" she asked seductively.

"Not a real harlot, but willing to submit myself to your domination."

Nozomi didn't mean to say that, but the other her seems to be in quite a mood. She stripped her bottom so quickly and sat on top of Eli.

"I want it fast. Ok?" she said before she kisses her immediately. Eli accepted her invitation without thinking, touching her back and tending to her own asset to raise her mood. Eventually, she pulled out her length—it's still there. Nozomi wonder why nobody other than Niko and Maki notices that when they took bath.

Her length is partially hard enough to penetrate, but Nozomi wants it to be harder. She slid her body down, places her length between her breast and starts to lubricate her quickly and greedily. Five minutes passed, both of them can see the werewolf hunter turns starts. Immediately, Nozomi lift herself back up and put her length inside without doubt.

The blonde held her and stood up from her seat, giving her a standing intercourse that Nozomi finds to be new and quite fun. Her legs locked to her waist, humping with the excitement until she gave up to Eli's rocking motion. She and her lover came right at the start of the werewolf's turn. They cleaned up the mess on themselves with Eli's magic as a support. Then at the moment they are about to finish, they heard someone screaming.

"Eeeeeeeeekkkk!"

"Nikocchi!" Nozomi said.

"Looks like she is the victim tonight." Eli said.

"I thought it will be Umi-chan first." Nozomi said.

"If I were the one who do the kill, I'll do the same. Niko is a jester, she might be able to tick off the others and get her desired vote while a werewolf hunter has to be as low key as possible."

"Umi-chan is clearly not a low key hunter."

"Yes, but she won't be able to find a werewolf in one night. I'll save her for the next night." Eli said.

"Whoever the werewolf is, she is doing a good job." She continued.

"Hmm… I wonder how they will react tomorrow." Nozomi said.

The sound of the rooster heard again. Nozomi didn't know what happen but she felt herself being teleported back to her cottage. When she walks out of the cottage, she can see Niko's cottage is already destroyed.

"W-waaah! N-Niko-chan!" Hanayo went panic.

"Don't worry, she is eliminated so she is already out of the game, which mean, she is out of this dimension now, watching us." Maki said.

"C-can she communicate with us?" Hanayo asked.

"Nah, she can't. But anyway, jester down so we are free to guess." Maki said.

"How do you know she is a jester?" Umi asked.

"She kind of said it and look, a card is stuck on top of her cottage's ruin." Maki sighed as she gestured toward the 'Jester' card.

"Umi-chan, you are so dense." Kotori sighed.

"So who is it? Who destroyed her cottage?!" Honoka asked. Somehow, she looks a little too heroic for her usual self. Is she a werewolf hunter too? That kind of give out the answers.

"I don't know. I was role blocked last night." Eli said.

"I vote for Maki-chan-nya!" Rin said.

"W-what?! Me?!" Maki take a few steps back.

"That's so out of nowhere, Rin! We don't know the truth yet." Umi said.

Umi needs to be a lowkey hunter.

"Yes, but, Maki-chan is always suspicious so let's pick on her nya!"

"H-hey! You can just randomly vote on someone! Why don't you accuse Honoka instead?" Maki said.

"W-What?! M-me?!" Honoka said so loudly.

"Yeah! You're being all heroic after Niko-chan is eliminated! A thief would pretend to be a hero to avoid being caught, and so are you!" Maki said.

"W-Whaaat!?" Honoka exclaimed.

"That's unfair! What if she truly wants to find the culprit?" Umi said.

"Yeah, that's a little unfair. If I were you, I'd be voting for Rin-chan." Kotori said.

"M-Me?!" Rin smirked. Her acting is pretty good.

"Heh, well, if there's anyone else, I'll suspect you, Rin. You were accusing me first and you also said 'because we can't do anything' when Kotori ask why I hate my role. That means you know that I'm not someone from any of the role." Maki said.

"W-whaat!? But what if I'm the werewolf hunter?"

"Then the real werewolf hunters know that you're lying." Maki said.

"C-Crap!" Rin acted like she is in panic. That's a very good acting, for real.

"Then that's settled, we vote for Rin-chan." Kotori said.

This is quite wrong for Nozomi. Not about voting for Rin-chan, but about Kotori-chan. She looks like she is truly trying to pin it on Rin while there's still a chance that someone else is a culprit.

"Hmmph, I agree. I'm voting for Rin to be eliminated from the game." Umi said.

"OK, me too." Honoka said.

I don't think Rin-chan is a werewolf.

Nozomi said to herself.

Me too, but we can't choose someone else right now. People will suspect us.

Alright, so let's just vote for Rin-chan.

"I'll vote for Rin-chan too." Nozomi said.

"There, the Great Grand Enchanter says her word. I'll follow her." Eli said.

"W-whoa? E-Everyone? I'm not a werewolf, ok?" Rin said.

"K-Kayo-chin! You're not suspecting me, right?!" she continued. Clearly, it's all just an acting since she doesn't even use her -nya at the end of her sentence. But she is very good at that. Nozomi really-really appreciate it.

"I-I'm sorry, Rin-chan but I…" Hanayo turn her eyes away.

"I vote for you too." She continued with timid expression. Is that an acting too?

"I-Is that so? Then… I guess this is it." Rin acted so dramatically sad.

"Goodbye." She continued before her cottage ruined and she disappeared from the game, leaving a card flying toward her cottage and be stuck like Niko's card. Her card is: Villager.

"V-Villager?!" Umi looks shocked.

"T-That means, she is truly innocent." Kotori said—a little too dramatically.

"N-No! Rin-chan! I'm sorry!" Hanayo said.

"Damn it, I've chosen the wrong person." Umi said.

"We should be more careful next time." Nozomi said.

"Tch, should've chosen someone else." Maki chagrined.

"We couldn't do that kind of thing anymore." Honoka held her fist.

"Let's go back to our cottage, the night will fall soon." Eli said.

They once again return to the cottage.

Who we should visit tonight?

Nozomi asked to herself.

Not Umi. She is probably a target.

I know that one, but, we are going to rule block someone tonight, so let's make sure we are not choosing the good role.

What about Kotori-chan?

Eh?

Yes, you have suspicion on her, right? Let's role block her.

A-are you sure? What if we were right? We'll get eliminated.

Nope, I have a feeling that we will be able to convince her to not to eliminate us.

Is that so? Then I guess we have no choice.

Nozomi nodded.

Unless, we want to ride some joy again, we can visit her.

Maybe it's inappropriate to do that during a party game.

Don't worry, even people outside the game can't see what happen inside the cottage.

I'll go with Kotori-chan. I'm very curious of how it will turn out.

Your choice.

As she agreed with herself, Nozomi waited for her turn to come. She carefully opens the door, thinking about who she really should visit tonight.

Maybe it really should be Kotori-chan.

She thought.

Are you sure? Ericchi might still have an erection by now.

What are you suggesting?!

Just imagine, when you come in, she will immediately hold you, pin you, then pound you hard. It's going to be amazing.

W-we can do that later!

When things are calm? Well, Ericchi will probably be calm too.

You are just trying to go for another round.

No, I'm aiming for her desperate emotion. I miss that one so much.

Nozomi sighed to herself.

Fine, we visit her once again.

Great!

The other her replied excitedly. The purplenette end up to visit the blonde again tonight.

As she opened the door, Eli is already sitting on her sofa with legs spreading and hand holding to her own length.

"My, you are here again. I'm glad." She said with mischievous smile.

"I was thinking to get rid of this myself, but turns out you are here to help." She continued.

"You'll be helpful to get rid of mine too."

The other her speaks with sultry voice. Just what Nozomi expects, both of them are really in a high mood. It only takes a few second before she got herself pinned down to the sofa, penetrated with her lover's length and experiencing the desperate kisses as her hands held hostage.

It's really great, she can't lie.

With each slide making the erotic sound of their flesh touching each other, then also the erotic moan that none of them can hold back. Nozomi loves the way Eli treats her. At the middle of the werewolf hunter's turn, Eli hugged her tight, telling her that she is about to reach the real orgasm.

Her motion starts to hasten and eventually, her hands move down to her waist, penetrating her with her length as deep as she could. The hot and thick liquid strongly squirt inside her. She couldn't stop admiring at how amazing it felt especially when she is looking at how satisfied Eli looked when she reaches her orgasm inside her.

Once again, they finished at the start of the werewolf turn. When Eli pulled her length, Nozomi can see the liquid pulled like a white string connecting to her length. She also can see Eli plucking her length in for a few more time with her hands help, putting all the white liquid inside her.

"I wonder what happen to it when it's already inside."

"Normally, turns into a baby, but since I don't plan to have any yet, it's only converting into energy for you, honey."

"Is that so? Then, we should do more round."

"I think I have enough this time. We should do that later, outside the game." Eli said.

"Hmmm. Alright…" Nozomi said.

"It's better to stop before we shame ourselves. It was hard to hide mine, ok? I have to transform it back to female to make sure it's not showing out when we meet everyone."

"So you hid it before too?"

"Yep, when we were taking a bath with everyone, I transformed it back. No one know how wet I was that time." Eli said.

Suddenly, a loud scream heard from the outside.

"WGGWwaaaaaahhhh!"

"H-huh?! H-Honoka?" Eli said, she looks very surprised.

"Honoka-chan, huh? I wonder why is it not Umi yet." Nozomi said.

"I don't understand either, but, maybe, this person really knows how to make unexpected decision." Eli said.

Ignoring the thought for now, Nozomi quickly tidy herself back before she was once again teleported back to her cottage. The rooster once again making its voice. They all already know that Honoka was the one eliminated last night, but they are all curious about the role she is playing.

"A villager… again!?" Hanayo said.

"Either the werewolf is too dense or they just prefer a challenging fight." Maki said.

"This is bad, we only have one villager and a harlot. If two of them eliminated, we lost." Umi said.

"Right, a werewolf hunter will lose if they couldn't protect villager and other non-hostile role." Eli said.

Hmmm…

Nozomi starts to think.

Maybe we were blocking a good role. Ericchi doesn't act like a hostile role.

We can't assume that, you know. Ericchi is a clever tactician.

You're right. She might be playing as a werewolf.

We don't have evidence though, we visited her twice and we aren't eliminated yet.

Because Ericchi will not do that to us.

That's true, but she could've done that on the second visit. Because we might be a risky opponent for her.

Hmm…

Nozomi starts to think again.

"Then, Rin-chan wasn't mistaken. You are a werewolf, Maki-chan!" Kotori said.

"Huh!? Why would I be? I told you I was a common villager. The only suspicious one right now is you!" Maki said.

"T-that can't be! Kotori can't be a werewolf!" Umi said. Hanayo seems to know something, but she remains silent.

"There's still Nozomi and Eli there, why don't you accuse them?"

"Excuse me but, I also think Kotori is a werewolf." Eli said.

"E-Ehhh!?" Kotori retorted.

"I won't vote for her!" Umi said.

"Your choice. Because we are voting for her." Eli said with a mischievous smile.

"She is right. My vote is on Kotori." Maki said.

Hanayo seems to be agitated, but she gain her confidence after a while and say:

"I'm on Kotori-chan too!" Hanayo said.

"U-Uuhhh….well…I…." Kotori couldn't say another word.

"W-What about you, Nozomi?" Umi asked.

"I had my suspicion on her. Besides, you're pretty showy as a werewolf hunter. The only reason why you're not eliminated yet might be because the werewolf couldn't do it to you—and the only person who have the strongest bond with you is Kotori-chan." Nozomi replied.

Umi looks very shocked.

"K-Kotori, I'm sorry… I couldn't protect you anymore." Umi said.

"It's ok Umi-chan, it just a game."

"So? That settles it." Eli said.

"Yeah, I guess I have to give up." Kotori said.

Her cottage ruined and she disappeared from the game, showing a card which fly and stuck like the others. Her card is:

Werewolf.

"S-She really is a werewolf!" Hanayo said.

"Heh, got one down. Good thing, isn't it?" Maki said.

"That leave five of us here in this game. We should be extra careful. Let's hope that the werewolf is attacking the wrong person tonight, so we got more chance to think of the last werewolf." Eli said.

"Yeah, you are right. Let's go back to the cottage. We are almost at the end." Maki said.

Everyone nodded and decided to return to each of their own cottage.

Who should we visit this time?

Nozomi asked to herself.

Not Ericchi. Werewolf hunter, villager or werewolf, it might be too fatal for us to visit her. Let's try for Hanayo-chan, we might be able to get to know her too.

I'm thinking of Maki-chan though, her role is a little bit vague.

You are right. I don't think she is a common villager, to be honest. There are some roles that read as villager in the beginning of the game, but not exactly a common villager role.

What role is that?

The cursed or the doppelganger. The cursed has a lot of version, I think this one is the version where the cursed is looking up to someone and if that someone eliminated, she will become a werewolf. Then, as for the doppelganger, she is copying a role of someone she is looking at.

That means, there's chance of her copying any of our current role.

Yes, the most dangerous one is the Jester. If we choose her to be eliminated at the day, she wins.

Hmm, that means, someone who have the ability at night must get rid of her.

Yes, but also means that maybe Maki is not a good choice. Let's go back to our previous plan. Pay a visit to Hanayo-chan.

Alright, that should work.

When the Harlot's turn is up, Nozomi quickly make her move. Walking out of her cottage and looking for Hanayo's cottage. As soon as she got in, Hanayo looks very surprised.

"E-E-ehhh!? N-Nozomi-chan!?"

"Ssshhh!" Nozomi shush her.

"Y-You are the Harlot?" she asked.

"Yes, and you?" Nozomi asked.

"I-I can't tell you!" she said nervously.

"Well then, that's fine. Either way, I'm role blocking you tonight." Nozomi said.

"U-Uh, I didn't expect that. Bu-but anyway. Why me?"

"Because I think your cottage is the safe one. No one is suspecting you with anything."

"Y-You think so? I'm glad." Hanayo said.

"You see, Hanayo-chan. I've been thinking of something." Nozomi said.

"Wh-what is it?"

"We need to aim for a tie at next day light."

"W-why?"

"Because we might still have the jester among us."

"T-The jester?!"

"Yes, someone will be eliminated tonight, that will leave us with four peoples which mean a tie score is possible."

"But the jester is Niko-chan! Someone already eliminated her!" Hanayo said.

"I know, but one of the villager might be either the cursed or the doppelganger."

"W-wait, what if she is the cursed? If we leave the next day light with a tie score, we will lose. The cursed win with the werewolf, right?"

She is right.

Hmm… this is really hard.

"You're right. We need to bait them to tell their true role somehow."

"H-How about this, I know this is risky, but, the Harlot has a night immunity, right? What if you make yourself very suspicious tomorrow. Then at the next night, you role block one of them. If at the next day no one dies, we all know who's the werewolf is."

"That works…wait… investigate? Then, that means, you are…?"

"A werewolf hunter. Me and Umi-chan."

Oh goodness. We are role blocking a good role!

That's fine. We still have chance to win this. I think Hanayo's plan is not that bad, it has flaws though.

Why?

Because if we pay a visit to wrong role at the next night, we will be eliminated. That will leave her and two hostile roles which mean a defeat.

True that.

But who knows, we might be lucky enough to end the game at the next-next day light.

We can't see it yet, huh?

Yep. Now, let's wait for the next day light.

Hanayo and Nozomi waited for the next day light patiently. At the moment when the werewolf turn is up, they couldn't hear any scream or anything.

"No one screaming?" Hanayo asked.

"No… we might be getting an unexpected turn of the game." Nozomi said.

If they meet up with five peoples tomorrow, then there will be a big change on their strategy. The next thing they could hear is a loud thump as if someone is fighting back.

That definitely Umi-chan. She is eliminated tonight.

The other her said.

Oh dear, someone got hit.

Nice? At least she is leaving us a clue.

The rooster heard once again. Nozomi once again pulled back to her cottage. She rushes herself to go out to see if Umi is truly eliminated—and she is right. Her cottage is destroyed and all that left from her is the card:

Werewolf hunter.

See? Told you she is just bad at hiding herself.

Wait, what about the hit? She hits someone last night, right?

Nozomi quickly pay attention to Maki and Eli. To her surprise—it's only Maki who has bruise on her head.

"Darn that…" Maki sighed.

Is she the werewolf?

She asked to herself.

I'm not sure.

When Eli look up to Maki, she looks a little shocked. Nozomi noticed that small detail.

Hmm…Ericchi looks surprised. Maki might not be a werewolf after all.

No, let's see what she is going to do next. I she chooses Maki, then Maki is a werewolf, but if she is not, then Maki might be The Jester.

Eli turns her eyes away for a moment, gazing deeply to Nozomi who's looking at her, then back to Maki.

"That leave us four here, right? We should be very careful this time." Eli said a little coldly.

"You're right, huh? We can't skip this daylight vote at all." Maki said with sharp gaze on Eli.

Looks like there's already a fight here. One of them is the werewolf and the other is the Jester!

Then, what should we do?

Make it tie! There's no other way to win this!

"By the way, Maki, look at that pathetic bruise on you! Clearly, the werewolf hunter has left us a clue!" Eli said.

"W-what? No way! I hit myself last night." Maki said, she didn't twirl her hair and looking away when she said it. She isn't lying.

"Just admit it, you are a werewolf, right?" Eli said mockingly.

"I-I'm not a werewolf!" Maki exclaimed clearly.

"H-Hanayo! Nozomi! Tell me, do you believe her?" she asked with agitation—Nozomi knows it's all just an acting. She is trying to act like in pinch because she'll want people to think that she is a lying werewolf. That's a clever way to lie.

Why is she accusing Maki so quickly? If Eli is a werewolf, shouldn't she know that Maki is either a jester or a werewolf?

This is strange. Ericchi is making a strange move. Why is she accusing Maki?

Because she is trying to lead people to think that she is a werewolf.

What? Then, the real jester is…?

No, not really. I don't think so.

The other her replied.

Hanayo remain silent, she seems to look like trying to observe the situation.

"See? Silence. Maybe they are starting to consider you as a werewolf." Eli said.

"W-what the hell? Why don't you accuse yourself instead? You are the most suspicious one here! Or maybe, Hanayo! She is been quiet too!" Maki said.

Nozomi, I think we should use this chance to safe someone from being targeted tonight. She is our only hope.

How?

Claim that you visited Maki last night and safely returned to her cottage, so you think Maki is not any of the hostile role.

Wouldn't that make Hanayo even more vulnerable? If we do that, Ericchi will know that Hanayo is a werewolf hunter!

Ericchi wouldn't risk a jester to be her opponent in the day light. She also will not try to attack you at night because she knows that you have night immunity.

I see. Then, we have no choice.

"I visited Maki-chan last night."

"E-Eh?" Maki smirked at her. Hanayo also seems to be surprised.

"She isn't any of the hostile role since I was able to return to my cottage safely." Nozomi continued. Maki bit her lips. She might be trying to think of something.

"Then, who do you think to be a werewolf here?" Eli asked.

Say its Hanayo. Because you visited Eli too.

"Hmmm… well, the only person I haven't visit is Hanayo." Nozomi said.

"Hey, that's a lie, right? You didn't visit me last night." Maki said.

"I did, but I kept myself as anonymous. You didn't know I visited you since I was watching you from the window." Nozomi lied with bold face. To be honest, she didn't know if it's possible or not, but perhaps the other her knows that it was possible to do that.

"W-what?"

"The harlot can do that, ok? We can choose if we want to stay anonymous or not." Nozomi said.

Eli chuckled.

"You need to be a little more charming to make the Harlot willing to pay a visit inside your cottage, Maki." She said

Maki rolled her eyes.

"I think I'm glad you didn't walk in anyway. Can't imagine what you are going to do to me." She said.

"So back to our game, basically you are suspecting… who?"

"Hanayo-chan. She may look quiet, but who knows what she keeps behind that innocent face?" Nozomi said.

"Is that so? Well, I have to disagree with you. I still think Maki is our culprit." Eli said.

Hmmph, that makes it clearer. Eli also aiming for a tie score.

"H-hey! I think you are the werewolf! You've been talking like trying to lead everyone to work according to your plan." Maki said.

"Hmmm? Really? That's fine for me. You can choose me, but remember that you might regret it." Eli smiled mischievously.

That's a subtle way to make her suspected as the Jester.

But maybe she really is the Jester!

The other her commented.

What?

Right now, I'm starting to think that maybe we can't trust Hanayo, Eli, or Maki at all! Remember what Hanayo said, she wants us to role block someone at the next night after someone is eliminated. What if she asks us to do that so she can eliminate both of us and our target at the same time?

Y-You are right.

Then, the way Maki acts, she might hit herself to be suspected as a werewolf, then deny it to make her even more suspicious. That makes her the Jester, but what if it's also a play to make people avoid voting for her? It goes the same for Ericchi. She is aggressive because she wants people to think that maybe she is the Jester and avoid people to try voting for her.

But, isn't it only me and Hanayo who knows that we still have the jester?

No way! People as clever as Eli and Maki will know that they have a doppelganger, and the first role that everyone with night ability want to remove is the Jester—because they are everyone's enemy. A doppelganger has the benefit to copy that role without being suspected—those two knows that and one of them must be using that benefit to win.

Your argument is weak, how can they know that the game will turn like this?

They already know the player and the way people behave, besides, do you remember that those two are they who makes the game turn into like this? They sort of already arranging the strategy from the start of the game.

"Hey! Hanayo! You haven't tell me your thought! Who's the one you suspect as werewolf?"

"I think Nozomi-chan is a werewolf." Hanayo said.

Oh good. A tie score.

"What? She is clearly playing as the harlot!" Maki said.

"What if I confessed that I'm playing as the harlot?" Hanayo asked.

Maki seems to be surprised while Eli looks like trying to think of a possibility.

Hmm…clever move. She is confusing Ericchi and Maki.

What?

The chance of doppelganger. While it's true that they know that a doppelganger exist in the game, they didn't know who has the role. Eli knows you are the harlot, but if Hanayo is also the Harlot, that makes her the doppelganger who copied your role and Maki is the werewolf hunter. The way Maki trying to avoid herself being voted by pretending to be a jester who are trying to be suspected as a werewolf makes Eli think that maybe Maki is just trying to protect herself from being voted.

I see. It can be the opposite too, right? Eli is the werewolf hunter and Maki is the werewolf.

Yes, it goes the same for Hanayo too. Now that she makes people think that she is a doppelganger, she is more likely to be untargeted by the one with night role—but also makes her look safe to you since she knows that you are playing The Harlot. If you visit her tonight, you have chance to be eliminated.

Hmm…Good point.

"Hmmph, very well. I guess we are stuck with tie score. One for everyone." Eli said.

"Heh, what if I change my mind? Maybe Nozomi is the real werewolf here." Maki said.

"Then I will have to change mine too, maybe you are the real werewolf." Nozomi replied.

Maki chagrined.

"Bah, fine, we will finish this at the next day light." Maki frowns.

"We can just hope that The Harlot role block the right person tonight." She continued.

"Well, let's return and see what's going to happen next." Eli said.

Everyone agreed and return to their own cottage.

As the night time happen in the game, Nozomi sat down on her sofa. That was also the time she realizes how eerie it feels like when she sit here by herself. She totally can't imagine how scary it will be if the werewolf were shown as a real werewolf, barging into her cottage and eliminate her from the game.

The time when her turn is on, Nozomi remain seated. She takes her time to imagine what if there are another role within the game right now. Such as, the Serial Killer which was mentioned in the explanation.

This is scary.

Nozomi said to herself.

It could be so much more fun if we have thief role.

Thief?!

Yes, they swap your role with theirs and the chain will keep going on until the thief role holder is eliminated.

Sounds fun.

Yep. Also, guardian angel. They protect people from night invader. It makes the game last longer but also make things harder for the night invader. The game could also be more chaotic with the lover card or the sorcerer card. The lover can bind themselves to someone, then if that someone eliminated, the lover holder will also be eliminated, and if the lover holder is eliminated, the person they bind with will also be eliminated.

Wow, that sounds really fun.

The most fun thing is where the lover usually keeps themselves quiet and protecting each other, because they need to aim to be left with just two of them in the game, whatever role the other have.

So that means, it's possible for the lover to win with a werewolf?

Yep, their goal is to win with whoever they bind themselves with. As for sorcerer, they can swap two players role. With the role swapping going on and on every night, the game will be so chaotic and no one can make a strategy like what Ericchi and Maki did.

That makes them another priority target huh?

Exactly. Sometime even a werewolf hunter hates them. Sorcerer role might be different in each deck, but I remember the one in this deck do that while witch or warlock is the one that side with the werewolf. They seek for the werewolf hunter and tells the werewolves who the werewolf hunters are.

This game is really fun, we should play it again later.

Yep, later. Maybe with those other nine peoples. 18 sounds like a good number of players.

I agree.

Nozomi chuckled before they fall into silence, waiting for the turns to end. When the werewolf hunter turns ended, it's time for the werewolf to come out. A few minutes later, they can hear the sound of someone shouting:

"I knew it! You are the werewolf!"

She said so loudly.

"That's…"

Nozomi pauses.

Hmm… that leave us with two suspects. We need to be wise.

I know that.

Nozomi replied to herself as she eagerly waits for the rooster cry to be heard. When the rooster cry heard, Nozomi quickly walks out of her cottage. She discovered the ruined cottage and see the card stuck on top of the ruin, says:

The Doppelganger — The Jester.

"S-She really is The Jester!" Hanayo said.

"That leave us with three of us, but I don't think we can make a tie score again." Said someone mockingly.

Hanayo frowned, she is getting serious.

"I already know who's the werewolf anyway and I don't need to hide myself anymore."

"Hmm? What? What are you talking about? I'm the one who don't need to hide myself. I'm the werewolf hunter and you are the werewolf!" she said.

"Then, do you think you know who's playing the Harlot?" Hanayo asked.

"Of course, Nozomi is the Harlot." She said proudly.

"And I'm accusing you as the werewolf!" Hanayo said bravely as she pointed at the blonde yokai. She looks kind of cool here. Maybe she has what it takes to act tough.

"That makes us a tie. I'm accusing you as the werewolf and it's all up to Nozomi to decide who's the real werewolf." She continued as she pointed back at Hanayo.

Nozomi, I know what you are thinking, but, let me get this in your mind right now. If we choose the wrong person, we will lose, but if we choose the right one, we win.

I already know that. The problem is, who?

I trust Hanayo, but seeing her able to act with full of courage makes me think that maybe she is a better liar than all of us.

I think the same too, but, can we really trust her?

"Please convince me why I should choose any of you to be eliminated to decide which side is winning?" Nozomi asked again to give her a little more hint to think with.

"Choose her and we will win, Nozomi." Eli said.

"No! Choose her and we will win!" Hanayo said.

Think about it again! We role blocked her twice and in those two nights, someone is eliminated during those time.

Yes, that's right, because we still had two werewolves.

Ericchi didn't expect both of them to be eliminated. Which mean, Ericchi is not involved in the first two.

Yes, but, we didn't role block her at the third, right after Kotori-chan is eliminated and someone is still eliminated anyway.

Think about it again, Nozomi! The answer is right at the tip of your tongue!

Nozomi tried to think harder.

Oh! That's it! That's the answer! We role blocked Hanayo at the third and Eli thought that I really was paying a visit to Maki—which makes her think that I do not trust Hanayo too and she was trying to use that as an advantage at this round.

Exactly! Good job, Nozomi! You outsmarted her!

No-no, all yours. You are the mother of the ideas! If it weren't you, we won't be able to figure that one!

"Then, as the one who decides how this game will turns out. I, Nozomi Toujou, choose to vote—….!"

Nozomi pointed at Hanayo—then turn her fingers further right in front of Eli's face.

"You! The clever and cute, Ericchika ! You are the last werewolf!" Nozomi said.

From that time, a bright light shines and everyone returned to their seats. Some of them has started to drink their favorite drink, but all of them gazing at Nozomi in awe.

"Hahahaaha!" Honoka proudly laughed.

"We won the bet!" she said loudly.

They are betting?

"Mannn! I don't want to get drunk tonight! All I wanted is to be amused when watching drunk peoples!" Niko said.

"It's all your fault to begin with! I should've not copied your role to get myself off this stupid bet!" Maki said.

"Why are you copying me anyway?! It's your fault!"

The two started to argue.

"W-what's going on here?!" Hanayo asked.

"They are betting about who's going to win-nya!" Rin said.

"A-apparently, the villager team wins so… werewolves and jester team must drink a lot tonight." Kotori said.

"W-Who's idea is that?!" Hanayo asked.

"Rin and Honoka." Umi said.

"I think I'm more surprised with the fact that you allow that to happen." Eli said.

"I'm sorry. I fail to do that." Umi bowed with guilt.

"Hehe, it's ok, Eli-chan! It's fun to be losing sometime!" Kotori said.

Somehow, Nozomi feels like Kotori is just trying to find excuse to get drunk in front of her girlfriend.

"Well, I don't mind with some nice drinking tonight. I could use some heat." Eli said.

And we could use that heat for something.

The other Nozomi said.

You're still up for another?! What are you? A beast?!

She said to herself.

I just want a looooot of love tonight, things are going to be very-very-very heavy for us all when we get back to Uranohoshi. We have to think about the train, rebuilding our militaries, raising our peoples, retake the Otonokizaka, and…

Alright-alright, we have so much thing to do. I guess if you want a lot of love tonight, we can use it.

See? You agreed with me. Let's make it a little bit more fun with a little roleplaying.

Isn't that embarrassing? I mean, roleplaying. Come on! It makes me feel awkward sometime!

Then, what do you want to do?

I don't know! I feel like I had enough fun tonight.

Are you sure?

What?

Are you sure you had enough? I thought you wanted to try pretending that you're making love in your real world.

What's the difference? I don't see the difference! We are going to be naked after all!

What's the technology that we don't have? Something that related to kinky fantasies?

Vibrator, flavored condom…

Flavored condom?! Now that sounds very interesting.

I haven't finish yet.

Forget about the other, I want the flavored condom.

I haven't tried it so don't expect me to know how it works.

Then you just need to buy it for real.

What?

I'll send you to your real world, go get one and return back here.

No way! It takes my pride to buy something like that!

Is that so? That's too bad then. Hmm…I really want to taste flavored condom.

W-what about this, there should be a vending machine somewhere. If we can find that really quick, we can get one and take it here.

Where do you think the vending machine will be?

I don't know. Akiba?

Then that's where I'll send you.

Now?!

Yes! Excuse yourself!

"Uhm. Everyone. I think I need to use the restroom first." Nozomi said immediately.

"Aww… be quick, ok? You don't want to miss the moment where I drink a whole bottle in one go." Eli said.

"Yep, I'll be back soon." Nozomi said before she quickly run from her seat.

She opened the restroom door;

To her surprise, she is not entering a restroom but her apartment in her real world.

Are we really in my real world right now?

Yes and I only can hold that world on hold for 30 minutes at max, so you better be quick.

What do you mean?

No time to explain! Just go get your wallet!

Nozomi agreed and get her wallet, making sure she is getting the right wallet, then dress herself accordingly. The only thing she notice is she was wearing her school uniform, so she changed her fashion, run out of the apartment and once again surprised that she is already at Akihabara's most crowded spot.

A lot of vending machines placed around the street. She walks around to look for what she needs—stumbled onto some interesting stuff such as edible underwear vending machine and some other adult stuff. Most of those vending machine is hidden somewhere in every area.

Until she finally found her target item, she quickly accessed the vending machine, making sure that no one notices her, checking her money, get just any of the flavored condom and turn around.

She is already back in her apartment.

Really? Why you never use this magic for something more useful?

I don't see the urgency. You can still walk.

Nozomi sighed to herself.

Put your wallet back! Then go out through that door again.

Nozomi hurry herself to do that.

Once she got through, she is already back in the world of magic;

She realizes that she is still holding the condom–and now another thing surprises her. She got herself a condom with cheesy pizza flavor. Why can't she get something more sweet and fragrant instead? Not that she complains, she just can't imagine how awkward it will be when she tells her lover: Hmm, your shaft taste like a cheesy Pizza.

She walks out of the restroom, making sure that no one see her keeping the condom inside her pocket, moving back to where the party goes and notices that the punishment for the losing side is about to start. Honestly, she never know that they'll be doing this, but it sounds fun anyway so she can't say no.

"Are you readyyyy?!" Honoka shouted to make the audience around them cheering for the losing side. There are Eli, Kotori, Maki, and Niko standing behind a table with four bottles of their favorite liquors, surrounded by people around cafe.

Eli look calm, Kotori look cheerful, Maki look unamused, and Niko looks so annoyed.

"So, what's the game this time?" Nozomi asked to nearby random people.

"Oh? That? Well, those four will have to drink the liquor in one go, if they couldn't they have to host a grand dinner once everyone is back in Uranohoshi."

"I see." Nozomi nodded.

"Three!" Honoka counted.

"Two!" she continued.

"One!" she shouted.

"Goooooo!" Four of them opening the bottle in their own way. Eli with her flirtatious gesture, Kotori with her cheerful gesture, Maki with lazy gesture and Niko trying her best to be as cool as possible.

At the first gulp of drinking, Maki already dropped her bottle.

"I'm not doing this stupidity." She said.

And Niko burst her liquor out of her mouth.

"What the heck!? I thought this one is going to be sweet?!" she complained as she looks at the pink glass bottle with reddish brown liquid. When Maki witness that, she starts to laugh.

"Now that's what I call foolishly funny!" she said.

Half way, Kotori dropped hers.

"It's harder than I thought! My head is already spinning!" she whispered to herself.

Then Eli finished her bottle like she was drinking a regular water.

What Nozomi expects? She is a Russian after all.

"Aaannnnddd The winner isssss…. Ayaseeee Eliiiiiii!" Honoka shouted so cheerfully and loudly.

"Kotori-chan and Niko-chan are on second and third place so you two have to help Maki-chan hosting the dinner party!" Honoka said.

"Not a big deal. I rather help her than drinking that horrible drink." Niko said.

"Good, at least you won't end up in bed for breaking your liver. That will cost more than a grand dinner party" Maki said.

Kotori seems a little quiet after she tried to finish the bottle.

"Is that it?" Eli asked. While she acts like nothing special happen, everyone can see that her face is reddening.

Oh my! Let's hurry up and drag her back to our room!

The other her said.

"He-he-he-he-he-he!" Kotori suddenly laughed.

"K-Kotori?!" Umi looks very worried.

"Eh? Uh…. Kotori-chan? Are you ok?" Honoka asked.

"Hhhnnn….muscles. I need to research muscles." Kotori mumbled while her face starts to turn red.

"S-She is d-drunk?!" Hanayo asked.

"Looks like it-nya!" Rin said in horror.

The audiences giggled and commented,

"Haha! Looks like something is going to go wrong."

"Just like every single plan that High General Kousaka made."

"Well, let's give her a good luck. At least we have something to take care of later!"

"What? Her mess? Like always! But it's fun anyway so I'm looking forward to it!"

Honoka have quite a reputation among peoples. Nozomi wonder if it's a good thing or a bad thing, either way, she needs to get to her lover soon before she does anything awkward and make Honoka's reputation goes lower than it should be.

Nozomi quickly walks toward the center of attention.

"Ericchi!" she called her.

"Honey!" Eli replied so loudly—and embarrassingly. Everyone heard that and they reacted like how every girl react to a romantic thing they see. Eli places her bottle on the table, running toward Nozomi cutely, then snuggle her.

"Honey where you've been! You took so long to return, I miss you." She said with voice slightly pinched, very girl-like and feminine. It somehow turns Nozomi on.

"I went to restroom! Sheesh! It doesn't even take that long!" Nozomi said as she tries to guide her girlfriend out of the crowd. Eli couldn't even walk straight, she keeps going left and right

"Mmmh…you smell so good Nozomi, like my favorite liquor."

"It because your mouth smells like that too! Sheesh! I didn't know you can get drunk from drinking! I thought Yokai have more resistance."

They does, but maybe Ericchi already drank more than her usual limit today. She won't be drunk for long so we better hurry, ok?

Is this because her body heat again?

Well, do you feel the heat?

Nozomi does and the heat feels so much stronger than before.

Yes…

She replied to herself.

With the condom we just got, we will get a hot pizza.

Don't remind me about the taste! Why did we get a pizza flavor anyway!?

Luck?

Nozomi rolled her eyes. As she makes her turn, she can see Umi already trying to drag Kotori out of the center of attention, Honoka and Rin tried to make a comedy duo to entertain the audience they gathered along with Maki and Niko as supporting actors. Poor Hanayo have to hide to make sure no one remember that she is among those silly peoples.

Nozomi would love to join the silly band of misfits, but she needs to use this chance for something else. Maybe later then?

They got back in their room;

Nozomi carefully put Eli on the bed, taking off her clothes and hung it on the nearby hanger. She was then stripping herself to nothing but undergarment, took out the condom and tear the case.

Are you seriously taking over the body that quick?

She asked to the other her.

I'm on a roll. Watch me grind.

She replied proudly.

"Mmmh…honey, what's for meal? I smell something cheesy and meaty like a western cuisine." Eli said.

"The meal? It's me." Nozomi replied before she climbed the bed, places her groin on top of her lover's face and starts to adjust herself. She starts to rub the womanhood of the Yokai.

"Give me your shaft, darling."

"My shaft? Sure." She replied before she transformed her womanhood to a manhood. The shaft is still so soft but it doesn't take long for the other her to treat it to hard enough to wear the condom. She licks and rubs it a little aggressively, making the blonde moan erotically—and she sounds like a real sexy woman! That just make Nozomi's desire higher. She is so different than the usual her who always try to sound tough and cool like a tomboy girl.

"It feels so good, Nozomi. Please lick me more." She begged.

Now Nozomi wish she is the one who's doing her right now.

Please let me take over the control

Not now, this is my favorite part. Watch and learn, ok?

That's unfair!

It is fair. We both feels it.

The other her replied.

Nozomi eventually starts to use her breast to give her lover an extra pleasure, it began from playing its tip on her nipples then continued with placing it between her asset and massage it gently while licking its tip, then another sucking session follows. The shaft feels so much more warm and hot, it feels way better than the cold one, but again—maybe because it's new to her to feel Eli with this warm temperature.

While she is busy with her shaft, Nozomi could feel herself being tended down there too. Eli is playing her fingers on her core, digging inside and eventually starts to lick her. Penetrating her tongue and thumbs, lubricating her entrance and suck on her wet womanhood.

Sometime Nozomi felt bad for losing her tight entrance, but as long as it still fit enough to give them the pleasure, why bother?

The scent of cheesy pizza from the condom makes her shaft taste like a cheesy pizza even though all she could taste was the cheese, but it's good and at least it could remind her that she is not putting an actual pizza in her mouth right now. From time to time, she went down to her balls and that one taste and smell just like the Ericchi that she is very familiar with.

There's always a bit of her playful nibble on the skin of her ball, pulling and sucking as she listens to the joyful and sexy moan of her lover which sometimes muffled when she is working on her lustful core. She finds it really hot and satisfying.

It's up until she felt enough with all the nice licking and sucking, Nozomi is thinking to pull off the condom, but then she thought, maybe she should let it be used for what it meant to be used for. She woke up and crawls forward.

"Am I going in now?" the cute blonde asked with a childish smile.

Nozomi reply to her with a smile before she prods the tip of her hard shaft on the entrance.

"I do." The blonde got the answer to her own question, she wakes up and hold her waist. It began with a gentle motion, introducing her to a very different sensation when the heat spreads all over the wall of her core. But the blonde unexpectedly hastens her move earlier than she thought.

"Mmmhhh…"

She couldn't stop herself from letting out that moan.

What is this called in your real world?

The other her asked.

The pose? Doggy style.

She replied to herself before they continue to enjoy the sensation. The way her tip reaches deep to her limit, the way her shaft rubs against the elastic and textured walls, the love juice that she produces from the excitement of their play, Nozomi loves them all and tirelessly wanting for more.

She dominates her, controlling her and gives her everything she ever wants in their intimacy. Kisses on her back, being lifts up while her breast held gently, the playful fingers tentatively tends to her nipples, then more kisses on the part that never seen by anyone else but her and her lover.

They changed their position according to their heart desires, trying out something new and exploring for the possibilities of new way of loving. It sounds so silly in Nozomi's head, but her creativity is limitless. She keeps wondering if she could tell her lover a few of her ideas, but then she remembers that is currently drunk and things might go bad if she insist to give her the idea right now.

Give her.

The other her said.

What do you want her to do?

To Fuck me very hard and rough.

She said to herself.

That's it?

That's it.

Just lift both of your legs, then give her the sultriest moan you can make.

And so she did, Eli smiled mischievously before she held both of Nozomi's legs and penetrates her deeper and rougher. She looks so satisfied and…. Drunk.

"You are so beautiful honey. I love it when you beg to me like that." She said.

This is like a heaven, but sinful.

Is that what you say to describe this sensation?

The other her chuckled.

I feel like I'm flying. I couldn't even feel the fluffy bed anymore. I'm losing my mind.

Hang in there, Nozomi, she isn't at her limit yet!

I'm about to!

"Nozomi! Call me." Eli said hungrily.

"Ericchi!" she tries to as her pleasure raises higher.

"Again!"

"Ericchi!"

"Nozomi!"

"Ericchi!"

"I want you to have my baby!" she said.

Oh no!

No! What the…?!

Is the condom still there?!

Yes!

Good! Hold it! Don't let the liquid poured in! She is seriously going to do that!

We should not have done that!

Done what?!

Seducing her when she is drunk! I knew this will gone wrong!

Who would've expect that anyway!?

She argued to herself and right in that moment, Eli reached her peak. Nozomi stops all the argument in her mind and focus on holding the condom. The power of her liquid squirting inside her like a water from hose is amazing—and scary in the same time. She really doesn't want to be pregnant right now.

Eli totally finishes her with it. When she pulls her length out, a lot of liquid dripping out of her. It's so scary about what she can do to her right now–but most importantly, her length is still hard.

"My, that's too bad, I guess that shot didn't hit the spot yet." Eli said.

Nozomi already feel like stopping this. She doesn't know if she could avoid the next one, especially when she notices how many liquids poured inside the condom.

"I'm still wanting for more, Nozomi. You don't have any more protection, am I right?" she asked.

Well, crap, she only bought one.

"Then you have no choice! You'll have my baby!" Eli said before she grabs Nozomi.

"W-Wait! Wait! Ericcchiiii!"

At the other side of the ship;

The Grand general is supposed to be helping the ash brunette to return to her room, yet she couldn't say no to the drunk girl, begging to be returned to her quarter instead.

"Uummiii-chaaan…. I want to play with youuu…hic…!"

She said.

"I know! Kotori, please be quiet!" Umi replied as she carry her to her quareter.

"Ehehehehehe…. Hhnnn…can I… hic… feel your muscles…?"

"Y-You can, like always, b-but please don't say it out loud."

"Ok…hehehehe—hic….muscles…" Kotori said

They reach the Grand General's quarter. The gentle yokai places her girlfriend down on the bed.

"Please take a good rest, Kotori." She whispered.

"But I don't want to go to bed."

"You need to. You are drunk, I don't want you to do absurd things."

"I need to… hehehehehe… research about muscles."

"We can do that tomorrow, when you are sober."

"Hehehehe…I want it now. Give me your muscles." Kotori said with her drunk face. She is trying to reach for Umi's hand.

"K-Kotori! Please take a rest!" Umi retorted.

"Umi-chaaann….pleaseeee…"

Umi bit her lips.

"F-fine, just a cuddle, ok?" she said before she climbs on the bed and starts to cuddle the ash brunette.

"Sheesh, it's all Honoka's fault. Why does she has to hold such an absurd event? All we wanted was hanging out with everyone." Umi said.

"Umi-chan! Chuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Kotori begged for a kiss.

Umi has no choice but to peck her lips.

"Hehehehe….again! again! Chuuuuuuuu!"

And another peck.

"Ehehehehe…now, can you show me your…hic… shaft?"

"S-shaft!? You mean my spear?"

"Oh, so it was a spear-hic! It's sharp?"

"It is, I polished it everyday."

"Ehehe, I want it. Inside me."

"W-what? No way! That will kill you!"

"No-no-no! Umi-chaaann!" Kotori pouts cutely.

"That spear! Muscle spear! Nozomi-chan told me you can show me your muscle speaarr!"

Umi still flustered.

"You see…. Eli-chan can show Nozomi a muscle spear-hic! Then they had nice intimacy with it."

The Grand General swears that she will complain to Nozomi for teaching her absurd things.

"I want it toooo so I can touch…ehehehe…muscles-hic!"

"I can't do that."

"You cannnn…uhhh…hmm…maybe I should lubricate it first… ehehehe…" Kotori starts to reach her legs.

"Kotori! No! You are drunk!"

"Pleaseeee…. Hic!" Kotori still persistent with her attempt.

"No! I don't do a drunk person!" Umi replied stubbornly.

"Umi-chan… pleaseeeeeeee….!" And she stills begs for it.

It's done! Sorry if it's a little disappointing on KotoUmi since I can't really write about it lmao.

But at least NozoEli has a lot of fun ride since they love each other too much.
