Infinite Stratos: Truth Be Told
A/N: October 3! Yes! The Infinite Stratos second season starts at the third of October. Anyway, sorry for my constant rambling about the second season of the IS. I just can't wait to see the new things about the anime.
Back to my story, I already had some ideas of the next arc, though I'm more concerned about the entrance about my new characters. I absolutely have no idea at so how they will come in; well I'll cross that bridge when I get there. I actually received a suggestion that I should enlarge Ichika's harem, I must say that is a wise suggestion but I still have to balance out everything and make sure I doesn't mess up the story too much. That's it for now.
To Reckless Baka: This might be a long story, since Ichika will still square off with the two main antagonists and also his ever increasing harem.
Disclaimer: I don't own Infinite Stratos (except for my OCs), it belongs to Izuru Yumizuru.
Chapter 37:
"Tell me little boy, what's your name?"
Madoka kneeled down and smile at the boy.
"Huh? What are you talking about Chifuyu-nee?"
Madoka raised an eyebrow.
(He thinks I'm nee-san.)
Madoka contained a giggled when Ichika tilted his head in a confused manner.
"You got it wrong little boy."
(PINCH)
Madoka grinned and pinched the small Ichika in his cheek.
"Ueeeeeeeeh!"
Ichika whimpered when Madoka pinched his cheek.
"I'm not Chifuyu-nee; I'm your other sister Madoka."
Madoka released Ichika cheek and flicked his forehead.
"You're not Chifuyu-nee? So you're my other sister. Yay! I have a lot of sisters I can play with!"
Ichika clung to Madoka while giggling.
"Ah?"
Madoka couldn't make any reaction; the loving embrace that Ichika gave her right now is her first. She never received this kind of attention, not once in her life, so now she's at a lost on how to react to the boy affectionately embracing her.
"Madoka-nee…"
Ichika raised his head and smiled at Madoka.
(BLUSH)
A really bad case of blushing appeared on Madoka's cheek.
(What the? What is this that I'm feeling?)
Madoka froze on the spot. She doesn't know the appropriate response for this kind of situation.
"You sneaky boy."
Madoka pinched both Ichika's cheeks.
"Ueeeeeeh! Nee-chan it hurts!"
Ichika tearfully complained.
"So why are you here?"
Madoka lets go of Ichika's cheeks, they were now red because of Madoka's pinching.
"I was planning to walk around before Chifuyu-nee wakes up but I got lost and don't know where I am anymore. Uuuuuuuu! Chifuyu-nee will be very angry!"
Ichika made a very worried face.
"Uhm!"
Madoka blushed when she saw the childish expression of Ichika.
(I better take him back to nee-san before she rampages around looking for him.)
Madoka grabbed Ichika hand hard.
"Ueeeh!"
Ichika made a small moan when Madoka yanked his hand hard.
"Come on I'll take you to her."
Madoka said while glaring at him. She didn't mean to make that sort of look but she absolutely doesn't know how to react to the little Ichika's replies.
"You'll take me to Chifuyu-nee! Thank you Madoka-nee!"
Ichika happily beamed an innocent at Madoka, causing the cold girl to reveal a melting expression.
(Ichika….)
Madoka suddenly felt weird, her mind is slowly blanking out. The cute and innocent face Ichika is causing Madoka's hormones to flare up.
(I'll take him to nee-san later.)
Madoka made a very evil smile.
Madoka is now leading Ichika to her room. Blind to Madoka's slightly evil intentions, Ichika happily hummed and skipped as he grabbed on to Madoka's hand.
"I'm walking with my Madoka-nee! Yay!"
Ichika's childish acts made Madoka crack a smile.
(What a bratty kid.)
Madoka giggled a little.
"Nee-chan where is this?"
Madoka and Ichika arrived in a room.
"This is my room; we'll find nee-san later. For now we'll play."
Madoka gave Ichika a smile. Ichika happily beamed at Madoka, totally buying the lie.
"Yay! Me and nee-chan will play!"
Ichika danced happily.
Ichika ran inside the room and ran around like a little kid on a sugar rush.
"Calm down."
Madoka caught Ichika and wrestled him on the bed and then tickling the little boy.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! STOP IT MADOKA-NEE!"
Ichika laughed so hard when Madoka tickled him.
"Now let's see how long can you last."
Madoka started to lick Ichika's cheek, making the boy blush furiously.
"AH! Madoka-nee what are you doing?"
Ichika quickly stood up and asked Madoka in a panicky voice.
"What do you mean?"
Madoka playfully smiled at the confused boy.
"It-it's embarrassing!"
Ichika quipped while the blush on his face intensified.
"It's normal for siblings to do that."
Madoka made that up but Ichika bought it.
"Really?"
Madoka raised her eyebrows.
(He really is a kid; he just bought it without a single doubt.)
"Madoka-nee? What's wrong?"
Ichika became worried when Madoka just stared at him.
"Madoka-nee…"
Ichika leaned close to Madoka and licked her on the cheek.
"WHA!"
(SMACK)
Madoka unconsciously smacked Ichika on the head.
"Ueeeeh!"
Ichika tearfully whimpered.
"Ah damn! Sorry but you surprised me."
Madoka immediately apologized when she smacked Ichika on the head.
"Does Madoka-nee hate me?"
Ichika tearfully muttered.
"Oh no…"
Madoka is bad with this situation; she doesn't know how to comfort a crying kid.
"(Sniffle)…. (Sniffle)….. (Sniffle)…. (Sniffle)…."
Ichika started to weep tears as he waited for Madoka to answer.
"Ah…"
Madoka desperately tried to think of a way to comfort him.
(Think like nee-san! What would she do in a situation like this?)
Madoka scrambled her mind for a way to prevent him from crying but what she got from her brain is the way on how to torture people.
"UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
Ichika sobbed loudly.
(Whatever!)
Before Ichika could cry Madoka did what is the first thing that came to her mind. She leaped on Ichika, then she pressed him down and gave him a very deep kiss.
"!"
Madoka kissed the little Ichika for about a minute before finally breaking the extremely unusual way of cheering up someone.
"….."
"….."
Madoka and Ichika stared at each other blankly. Both were blushing furiously.
"There, that proves that I love you."
Madoka said it while turning away.
"…"
Ichika stared at her for a moment but then smiled.
"I love Madoka-nee too!"
Ichika joyfully said his feelings without any hesitation. Madoka once again fell victim to her brother's charm.
(A really deadly enemy you are Ichika.)
Madoka grumbled in her mind.
"Madoka-nee, let's play!"
Ichika sprang up from the bed and shook Madoka to no end.
"Come on nee-chan! Nee-chan!"
Ichika persisted. Madoka ignored him as a way of teasing him.
"Uuuuuuu! Nee-chan is ignoring me!"
Ichika started to direct his teary eyes at Madoka.
(Hehehehehehe)
Madoka giggled in her mind, she's really enjoying Ichika's cute expression.
"Nee-chan is ignoring me!"
Ichika's eyes became teary; he's on the verge of crying on now.
"….Ahahahahahahahahaha!"
Madoka cracked a laugh when she decided to stop her prank.
"Stop being a crybaby!"
Madoka pinched the boy's cheek.
"Ueeeeh!"
"What a bratty boy."
Madoka smirked at the boy.
"So what game do you want to play?"
Madoka went behind Ichika and asked the boy as she wrapped her arms on his neck.
"Come on, tell me."
Madoka whispered on Ichika's ear. Madoka's warm breath tickled the boy's ear, Ichika blushed when Madoka's warm whisper assaulted him.
"Madoka-nee…."
Ichika sank back into Madoka's embrace.
"Come on, speak Ichika. What game do you want to play?"
Seeing Ichika in such a vulnerable state, Madoka's hormones burn even more.
"We could…p-play t-tag."
Ichika stuttered when he answered.
"What?"
Madoka kissed the little boy's neck.
"Ah! Nee-chan…."
Ichika felt ticklish all over when Madoka started smooching his neck.
"Hmmmm?"
Madoka teasingly traced Ichika's cheek with her lips. She is really enjoying teasing her brother like this. While she holds Ichika's little boy close to hers, she rubs her own body to Ichika most especially her chest.
"Uuuuuuh! Madoka-nee stop it… Stop it….tickles….."
Ichika tried to resist but the young boy couldn't help but show his blissful expression.
"Hehehehehe."
Madoka smirked when she saw the boy's vulnerable state.
(Time to jump on the prey.)
Madoka eyes sparked, like a predator that finally cornered its prey.
(KNOCK) (KNOCK) (KNOCK)
Madoka's opportunity is wasted when she heard several knocks on the door.
"Nee-chan who-mmmph!"
Madoka grabbed the boy's mouth.
"Shhhh! Quiet they are it. Now we are playing hide and seek."
Madoka made up some excuses and the little Ichika believed it without a single doubt.
"Ok."
Ichika whispered to Madoka.
(Hey are you in there?)
Madoka frantically looked around her room for a place where she could hide Ichika.
(AHA!)
Madoka lifted Ichika from the bed and stuffed him in the closet.
"Hide here."
"But Madoka-nee, what about you?"
Ichika grabbed Madoka shirt and looked at her with worry.
"Don't worry; we are playing a different kind of hide-and-seek. I won't be it even if they saw me, now you stay here and don't make a sound."
Ichika right away nodded at Madoka instructions.
Madoka closed the closet and jumped on the bed and pretended to sleep.
(ZISSSSSSSSSS)
The door of her room opened and two teachers of the academy brought her breakfast.
"….."
Madoka covered herself with her blanket and pretended to sleep.
"Guess she's asleep."
"Let's just leave her alone, we still have classes to attend to."
The two teachers looked at Madoka who was pretending to sleep and then left right away.
"That was close."
Madoka rose up from the bed and sighed in relief. Madoka then walked to the table and saw her breakfast.
"Still giving me this westerner trash."
Madoka scowled at her breakfast. It was beef steak, with mushroom soup and a serving of rice there was also a glass of juice as beverage.
"Is this what they serve for a prisoner? This academy is really lax in their security."
Madoka unhappily looked at the meal.
"Nee-chan?"
Madoka almost jumped when Ichika suddenly grabbed her from behind.
"You surprised me there."
Madoka turned around and played with Ichika's cheeks.
"Nee-chan….uuuuuuuuuu…you're pinching me too hard."
Ichika whined at Madoka who is still enjoying in pinching the boy's soft cheeks.
"All you ever do is complain."
Madoka grinned at the boy who is struggling to break free from her teasing.
"Madoka-nee is that your breakfast?"
Ichika pointed at the steam meal on the desk.
(This could be fun.)
Madoka just had an idea.
"Want to eat it with me?"
Madoka couldn't help her evil grin from surfacing.
(URRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR)
Ichika's stomach growled indicating that the boy is now hungry.
"I guess that's a yes."
Madoka and Ichika sat on the bed. Madoka moved the desk and positioned right in front of them so that the meal can be placed there.
"Itadakimasu!"
Ichika smiled.
"Ufufufufufufufu!"
Madoka could help her laughter, she found the giddy Ichika really cute.
"Well, we'll eat the soup first."
Madoka took a spoonful of the soup and tasted it. But she didn't swallow it.
"Hm…."
She turned to Ichika.
"?"
The little boy looked confused; he doesn't know what Madoka wants to do.
"Mm…."
Madoka grabbed both his cheeks and leaned closer and fed Ichika the soup that is in her mouth.
"Mmmmmm…."
Ichika blushed really red. Madoka kept the contact for a while before finally breaking off.
"Ha….ha….ha….ha….ha…."
Ichika had a very vulnerable face after the erotic way of feeding Madoka gave him.
"Does it taste good?"
Madoka who also had a very red shade on her cheeks asked the dazed Ichika.
"Hmmm….."
Ichika could only nod.
"Then do you want more?"
Madoka seductively smiled at the young boy.
"…"
Ichika who is still in a daze nodded blankly.
Minutes later…
"Mmmmmmm"
Madoka gave the last serving of the soup to Ichika. She made this last serving extra-long, she was practically eating the young boy's lips right now.
"Mmmmmmm….."
Ichika could only cling to Madoka's clothes. Ichika is helplessly under Madoka's control now.
"….."
"…."
The two break off from the intimate contact. Madoka stared and smiled at seeing Ichika's dazed face, the deep shade of red on the boy's face added more to the already dangerous charm of the young Ichika.
(No mistakes this time, he's mine!)
Madoka made up her mind, screw the consequences.
(Scene Change)
"Where did that kid run off to?"
Chifuyu grumbled to herself. She has been circling the academy but found no trace of her younger brother.
"I can't find him….."
Chifuyu stopped thought about the situation more rationally.
"Miss Orimura?"
Chifuyu looked behind her and saw her spectacled colleague, Maya Yamada.
"Miss Orimura why do you look so anxious?"
Maya asked Chifuyu.
"Maya…. Ichika is missing."
"AH!"
Maya let out a shriek when she heard the bad news.
"Shhhhh!"
Chifuyu silenced Maya with a headlock.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow! Miss Orimura you're going to snap my head off!"
"Just keep quiet Miss Yamada we can't afford this being found out."
Chifuyu tightened her headlock on Maya and Maya struggled in vain to break free.
"What is Orimura-sensei and Yamada-sensei doing?"
"I don't know. Maybe exercising?"
"Miss Yamada looked like she is about to die."
"I bet she teased Miss Orimura again."
The students who passed by saw the scene and murmured about the two teachers locked in an epic struggle.
"Miss Orimura please calm down!"
Maya implored Chifuyu but this only resulted to Chifuyu tightening her grip. More likely because Chifuyu is really stressed out and needed to vent all this stress. Unfortunately for Maya she was the chosen recipient of Chifuyu's frustration.
"Miss Orimura please think more rationally."
Minutes later….
Chifuyu finally released Maya from her headlock. The two teachers are now sitting at the bench.
"Well Miss Orimura, do you have any idea where he could have went?"
Maya asked Chifuyu who is still stressed out due to thinking where Ichika could've wandered off to.
"I have no idea."
Chifuyu answered sulkily.
"Look, whenever he wander off, there is no danger except when he wanders into maintenance district or the detention area."
Chifuyu looked up in realization. Of Maya's words the words "Detention area" rang in Chifuyu's mind. Chifuyu now had a suspicion as to where Ichika is; although she has no proof to solidify her guess Chifuyu is sure of her prediction.
"Madoka…"
"What is it Miss Orimura….."
(WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH)
Maya found Chifuyu already running away.
"It's hard to be a big sister."
Maya sweatdropped at her colleague's hard luck.
(Madoka, you ever do anything to him…. I'll make sure you'll regret your birth to this world.)
(Scene Change)
(Shiver)
Madoka felt a shiver ran down her spine.
"What's that?"
Madoka turned to the door for a while.
"Just my imagination."
Madoka turned back to Ichika. The little Ichika sat on the bed with a dazed expression; the kisses still had their effect on him.
"Now where were we?"
Madoka gently held the flushing cheeks of Ichika. The devious girl made a smile as she inched closer to Ichika lips.
But unbeknownst to Madoka, a rushing storm is heading her way.
(STOMP)
(STOMP)
(STOMP)
(STOMP)
(STOMP)
(STOMP)
(STOMP)
Madoka canceled her plan to kiss Ichika and turned to the door and then….
(BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM)
The door flew off when the intruder who was revealed to be Chifuyu kicked it with full force.
"Nee-san?"
"Nee-san?"
Madoka and Ichika who snapped out of his stupor both said in the same time.
"…"
Chifuyu white raging aura spiraled around her frame. Chifuyu came to the detention area in a hurry in hopes of finding her little brother, but what she found here is not just her little brother but also her little sister and her little seems to be getting ready to kiss her little brother. Add to that, the crimson shade that dominates Ichika's face. All this combined made Chifuyu's imagination run wild.
(GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON)
Chifuyu's rage blew off the charts.
"Madoka…."
Chifuyu said in a very threatening voice.
(Nee-san is going to kill me for sure.)
And Madoka was right.
"Die one thousand deaths!"
Chiifuyu lunged in for the kill but someone came in between her and Madoka.
"STOP!"
The small frame of the young Ichika got in the middle of Chifuyu's fully unleashed rage.
"!"
"!"
Chifuyu and Madoka, especially Chifuyu who didn't even feel his presence when he suddenly appeared in front of her.
(STOMP)
Chifuyu stopped her advance immediately.
"Chifuyu-nee please don't hurt Madoka-nee."
Chifuyu's anger faltered in the face of Ichika's pleading. The face that absolutely begs her and the sad soulful eyes that seem to pierce through Chifuyu's defenses, Ichika completely pacified Chifuyu effortlessly.
"Chifuyu-nee….."
The teary eyes dealt the final blow to Chifuyu's rage.
"(Sigh)"
Chifuyu let out a sigh to calm herself.
(I-I'm saved.)
Madoka who was ready to die earlier also breathe a sigh of relief at the postponement of her death sentence.
"…..Ichika, don't ever do this again."
Chifuyu knelt down and looked at Ichika seriously. The boy who recalled his mistake that nearly made his big sister murder his other sister, looked down in shame.
"Sorry for wandering on my own Chifuyu-nee. I caused a lot of trouble for you."
Ichika very sorry face pricked on Chifuyu's heart. Seeing him like this made Chifuyu frantic, she is thinking that Ichika might cry again.
"It's alright Ichika. You didn't cause that big of a trouble."
Chifuyu raised Ichika's face and smiled at the boy.
(Nee-san smiled. And not just any smile, it is a true smile. I didn't know nee-san is capable of that, but then again nee-san might have been influenced by Ichika already. So this would be no surprise.)
Madoka looked mystified at Chifuyu's rare reaction.
"….."
But now Chifuyu looked at Madoka with her "god-slaying" stare. Chifuyu stood and slowly walked towards Madoka.
(Nee-san is probably going to snap my head-off.)
But what happened next surprised Madoka.
"Thank you for taking care of Ichika."
Chifuyu cheerfully thanked Madoka. The genuine smile on Chifuyu's face is very natural but in the same time gives the scary aura of someone who is masking their killing intent with a happy smile. Chifuyu then started patting Madoka's cheek lightly.
(I maybe overthinking it.)
Madoka is more relieved now; Chifuyu probably won't do anything to her with Ichika here. Speaking of the little Ichika, he is just staring at the two smiling that they are not fighting anymore. But the boy has no idea of the subtle killing intent from Chifuyu flooding the air.
(PINCH)
Madoka's first suspicion came true, though not in the way she expected it. Instead of hardcore violence, Chifuyu just settled on pinching Madoka's cheek…..almost to the point of ripping Madoka's face off.
"This is great! Chifuyu-nee and Madoka-nee are getting along!"
Oblivious to the situation, Ichika smiled.
(Get a grip you bratty kid!)
Madoka scolded the clueless Ichika in her thoughts.
"Of course we aren't going to fight."
Chifuyu turned to Ichika with a smile on her face. Madoka just narrowed her eyes, she knew that Chifuyu left out the words "if you are around".
"Chifuyu-nee! Madoka-nee showed me a new way of showing love to your sisters."
Madoka face-palmed in her mind while Chifuyu's pinching on Madoka's cheek intensified.
(You idiot stop making things worse!)
Madoka wanted to smack the blabber mouth Ichika.
"Oh? What is was it then?"
Chifuyu smile brighter to the point that it looked very terrifying.
"She said that you should kiss them on the lips to show your love to them, she did that to me many times earlier!"
Ichika said with a smile, not knowing that his words just sealed Madoka's fate.
"Oh, that's really good!"
Chifuyu pinched Madoka other cheek and stretch both side to side, aiming to rip off the flesh from Madoka's face.
(Well, at least I had a good run.)
Madoka accepted her fate.
"Earlier too she fed me the soup through her mouth!"
Ichika once again said with a smile on his face. He doesn't have any idea that his innocent words are worsening Madoka's situation.
(GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON)
Chifuyu aura unconsciously spiraled on her frame. Tick marks appeared all over Chifuyu's head.
"Chifuyu-nee are you angry?"
Chifuyu is shocked when Ichika looked at her with his worried eyes.
(Can he sense my anger?)
Chifuyu looked at Ichika's concerned face. This reminded her of Ichika's expression when he saw her fighting with her cousins or her big sister. The worried and scared expression on Ichika's face wrenched Chifuyu's heart.
"(Sigh)"
Chifuyu calmed herself and suppressed her aura.
"I'm not angry Ichika."
Chifuyu forced a smile on her face. Seeing her smiling again, Ichika also beamed at Chifuyu and proceeded to blabber again.
"Chifuyu-nee, earlier I was really lost but Madoka-nee found me and took me here and she even shared her breakfast with me. I really think that Chifuyu-nee and Madoka-nee are really alike. Both of you are really beautiful and really kind and it is always fun to be with you."
Ichika happily stated his thoughts about Chifuyu and Madoka.
(BLUSH)
(BLUSH)
Chifuyu and Madoka couldn't contain the deep shade of red from filling their faces. The unrestrained praises that the little Ichika is throwing at the two of them embarrassed both Chifuyu and Madoka to no end.
(What is with this kid!?)
Madoka thought in her mind as her gaze locked on Ichika's smiling face.
(Ichika... Your powers have grown. I can't even keep my anger just by hearing your cheerful voice.)
Chifuyu slowly lost her inner rage when her eyes landed on Ichika's slightly blushing face.
"..."
Ichika looked very confused when he saw Chifuyu and Madoka's blushing faces. But then he laughed and embraced the his two sisters.
"Ehehehehehehe! Chifuyu-nee and Madoka-nee are really cute!"
At Ichika's embrace, Chifuyu lost all of the last traces of her anger and was replaced by a warm fuzzy feeling that filled her thoroughly. Madoka who was also hugged by the little boy, blushed so hard that it almost looked like all her blood came rushing to her face.
"I love my nee-chans!"
Ichika faced the two and beamed his most powerful smile.
"AH!"
"AH!"
Chifuyu nearly had a nosebleed and Madoka nearly lost consciousness.
It took a few minutes for Chifuyu and Madoka to recover from the heartburn they got from being exposed to Ichika's cuteness and unrestrained expression of his affections.
"Chifuyu-nee, Madoka-nee you both look really exhausted for some reason."
Ichika inquired the two women who is desperately trying to catch their breaths.
"Hehehehehe! Look Chifuyu-nee and Madoka-nee are really red! You two look like tomatoes!"
Ichika who now has the mindset of a kid, poked the cheeks of the two women blushing in front of him.
(This is your fault you blockhead!)
Chifuyu and Madoka blamed Ichika for this.
After recovering Chifuyu carried Ichika out Madoka's room.
"We're leaving already? But Madoka-nee is going to share her breakfast with me."
Ichika tried to beg Chifuyu to let him stay but this time Chifuyu has better control of herself to not fall victim to her brother's dangerous charms.
"Let your Madoka-nee have her breakfast, you have your own breakfast waiting for you in my room."
"Really? Well bye bye Madoka-nee! See you around!"
Ichika waved his little hands cutely at Madoka.
(What a brat.)
Madoka wanted to scowl but instead her face beamed a smile at Ichika as she waved her brother goodbye.
"Ichika go on ahead."
Chifuyu placed Ichika on the ground and told him to go first.
"Why Chifuyu-nee?"
"I have to talk to your Madoka-nee for a second."
Ichika looked at her for a while but then smiled and obeyed his big sister.
"Okay!"
Ichika run off first.
"Don't go too far or you might get lost!"
Chifuyu warned her little brother who turned back and smiled at Chifuyu.
"You really care for him a lot, don't you nee-san."
Madoka smirked at Chifuyu.
"Madoka, I will let this slide for now, since Ichika can readily sense my building bloodlust. I can't afford displaying this behavior in front of him."
Chifuyu looked or rather glared at Madoka.
"Sheesh, you're too stingy nee-san. All I did was just kiss him."
(DONK)
Madoka received a smack on the head without even noticing Chifuyu moving.
"Ow!"
Madoka whined.
"Watch your actions Madoka. I will not tolerate this again. The next time this happens, I'll make sure you'll regret it."
With that warning, Chifuyu left Madoka who is still grasping her head.
(Geez, nee-san is such a bro-con.)
Madoka whined in her mind but then she curled a happy smile.
"Well at least I had my moment with him."
Madoka slowly got up and sat on her bed. A victorious smile graced her cold face.
(Scene Change)
"Nee-chan, have you eaten your breakfast?"
Ichika who is now being carried again by Chifuyu asked her big sister.
"No not yet."
"Then we could have it together! Chifuyu-nee will then feed me soup through her mouth."
Chifuyu nearly tripped when she heard what her little brother said.
"W-What!?"
Chifuyu developed a blush on her cheeks.
"Ehhhhh? But Madoka-nee did it to me. And it was really good, it was a bit ticklish all over also Madoka-nee's tongue is tickling my mouth."
Ichika smiled at Chifuyu but then a deep shade of red invaded Ichika's face.
"Ichika, there are times when you should eat your food by yourself. You are not going to be a child forever, so you should stop depending on others. You are a man after all."
Ichika hit a realization.
"Chifuyu-nee, do you want me to become a man?"
Ichika asked Chifuyu.
"Of course so that you can be strong and be able to protect those who are precious to you."
Chifuyu looked solemnly at Ichika.
"Then I'll become a man and I'll protect Chifuyu-nee!"
Ichika declared his words loudly without any hint of embarrassment.
(BLUSH)
(This idiot, he's getting carried away again.)
Chifuyu turned away as she tried to hide her blushing face from Ichika.
"Chifuyu-nee..."
Ichika's soft voice made Chifuyu turn around.
(KISS)
Chifuyu got kissed on the lips.
"!"
Ichika gave Chifuyu a kiss on the lips. It was only for a moment and then Ichika broke off the contact.
"?"
Chifuyu's expression right could be read, her she absolutely shocked by her brother's unexpected action.
"I love you Chifuyu-nee!"
Ichika declared his affections for his sister.
(I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FOR THIS MADOKA!)
(Scene Change)
Phantom Task HQ.
After the meeting of the operatives, Squall was called by the leader of [Phantom Task] in the garden.
"Autumn, its okay I can go on from here."
Squall turned to Autumn who is still following her.
"But..."
"It's alright, i can take care of myself. Besides it's the leader that called me."
Squall smiled at her partner. But Autumn still looked unsure.
"That's what I'm worried about. Our leader is much more worse than the prodigies."
Autumn couldn't help but raise her voice.
"Again, it's alright. Our leader might be the worse killer in this organization but at least she has control over her tendencies unlike the prodigies."
Autumn gradually agreed to Squall's words and parted ways with her.
Minutes later after walking through the nearly maze-like hallways of the base, Squall arrived in the entrance to the garden. The open garden allowed a full view of the morning sky above amplifying the beauty of the beautiful garden, but this beauty is nothing to Squall who is dominated by fear.
"..."
Squall made careful moves as she walk through the open garden filled with Sakura trees.
"Squall over here."
Squall turned around and saw Izanami right behind her.
"L-Leader!"
Izanami smiled at Squall's reaction.
"No need to sound so surprised, anyway I don't like to waste time. Here."
Izanami handed Squall a folder.
"Is this a mission?"
Squall looked confused for a while.
"Yes. Oh before I forget, besides this I have another mission for you Squall."
Squall tensed up when the words of Izanami turned a bit playful.
"You knew about the boy's transformation right?"
"Yes."
Izanami walked pass Squall and stopped in front on Squall with her back facing the commander.
"Commission some low-lives to kidnap him."
Squall tilted her head in confusion.
"Why hire outsiders, our operatives can do it themselves or maybe the five prodigies. I'm sure they'll be very happy to do it."
Izanami turned to Squall as her aura flared up.
