Happy Holidays Everyone! I hope you're enjoying this time of the year! Nothing to report other than I love you all for staying with me and commenting on my story it makes me feel happy. I hope you like this chapter to!

"I thought you put on sunscreen Akari." Aguri said as she tried to hold in her laughter.

Akari's once white as snow skin was now a flustered pink boarding on red near her shoulders and ears, the only non-pink skin was around her eyes where her sunglasses had been. It made her look like pink raccoon.

"Wahhhhhh! I must not have gotten a strong enough sunscreen!" Aguri cried out as tears began to form around the outer corners of her eye while she childishly pouted before giving Aguri a glare that said: 'laugh I dare you.'

Seeing the glare made Aguri nervously clear her throat to try and rid herself of the giggles.

"Did you check to see if it was waterproof? We did take a quick dip in the ocean after we collected seashells." Okuda commented and despite Aguri's pink face she somehow visibly paled as her hazel eye grew wide in realization.

"…..FUUuCCcKKKK!"

"…watch your profanity."

Koro let out a pride sigh in triumph as he puffed up his chest admiring his work. Seeing as he didn't know what kind of movie the girls would like to see he decided to get a large variety of everything. You name it he had it: romance, action, horror, sci-fi, tragedy, family, animated, nonfiction, etc. He also managed to prepare various snacks for all four of them to feast on while they watched the movie. He had chocolate covered popcorn, brownies, custard pudding, honeycomb toffee, Neapolitan ice cream, cotton candy, and various sugary drinks. However, to balance out all the sugar he also got baby carrots, cheese on crackers, yogurt, celery sticks, various fruits like strawberries and grapes alongside some water bottles if any of them decided to stay on the healthy side.

"Fufufufu this will be the best sleepover ever!" Not long after exclaiming this notion his sensitive ears could hear the sound of voices drawing near.

"Manami can't you make like an elixir or something?!" That sounded like his master's sister, Akari.

"Umm….If you mean something like a healing potion I don't know…I mean I don't have any ingredients on me and I'm not sure if the potion would really even help. I-it could just get rid of the pain and not the sunburn." Okuda responded

"Please you have to try!" Akari begged.

"Don't worry Okuda this will be a great way to start our lessons! I have tons of ingredients in my 'lab' so I'm sure we'll be able to make something to help Akari no sweat." Aguri said.

Before they got any closer he quickly transformed himself back into his human form and put on a salmon colored maid apron that was covered in red hearts and frills with a large bow tied at the back. The pink stood nicely against the black of the maid uniform he had donned on. It also helped cover up his man cleavage that the black maid outfit with white frills so scandalously revealed. He made sure to smooth his hair out so as not to have any strands sticking out in weird directions and as the door knob slowly turned he got into position. The door soon opened revealing behind it the three witches; one of whom had slightly pink skin and judging from their still damp hair it seems as though they spent the whole day at the beach.

"Welcome home masters~" Koro cooed out as he turned to face them with a stellar smile. He even blew them a kiss.

A pregnant silence soon loomed overhead as the three witches stared blankly onward their brains trying to comprehend their current situation. Finally Okuda broke the silence by bluntly revealing what all three of them where thinking.

"Da fuck…?" She softly whispered under her breath as those where the only words that could express her confusion.

"Manami!" Akari cried out in shock. She knew Manami knew cuss words but to actually hear her say them was a big shock as her friend rarely used any profane language.

"…watch your profanity…" Akari said quietly in a sing song voice before returning her attention to Koro and promptly asking what the hell was going on.

Koro decided to explain to them his thoroughly detailed and thought out master plan that he had been conjuring up since an hour ago.

"Well dear master, I felt really bad for my earlier behavior so in order to make up for it." The tips of his jet black hair slowly shifted colors from black to a bright yellow before curling up and springing back out as tentacles. "I decided I would prepare us a fun sleepover!" He shouted enthusiastically.

Akari could feel a knot of guilt form in her stomach as she recalled all the less than nice things she thought about Aguri's familiar….but even so… This was one fetish too many for her liking!

"Look I even got you some honeycomb toffee especially for you Okuda-chan and some custard pudding for you Ms. Akari!" He said joyfully as his tentacle hair grabbed the said objects and presented them to the young witches.

Akari was still confused and didn't dare move an inch to grab the custard pudding that was so temptingly close to her face. On the other hand Okuda saw nothing wrong with the situation now that Mr. Koro had explained why he was doing what he was doing so without hesitation she took the honeycomb toffee from the yellow appendage.

"O-oh uhh thank you but y-you didn't have to." She said modestly before taking a bite from her treat and letting out hum of delight afterwards before devouring the rest of it.

"Well uhh Koro I umm really appreciate all that you've done really I do…" Aguri commented unsure on how to break it to her familiar that they would not be able to go on with his sleepover plans since they just made plans to make an elixir for Akari's sunburns.

This was all unbeknownst to Koro who simply began smiling as twinkling stars filled his onyx eyes like stars in the dead of night. He was extremely happy his master was appreciating his efforts. Everything was going according to plan.

"B-but unfortunately uhh we…" Aguri continued trying to avoid eye contact as she began fiddling with her hands nervously not sure how to let Koro down easy. Luckily Okuda chimed in.

"We have to start out training now so we can help Akari with her sunburns and hopefully get a nice demon familiar like you Mr. Koro." Okuda explained in the straightforward way she was infamous for.

There was a brief silence that loomed overhead like when suddenly a dark depressive aura began to surround Koro like dark water filled clouds. The stark contrast between his earlier bubbly aura and his now depressed one was so sudden that it made all three witches flinch back at the quick mood change.

"O-oh I see….it's okay I guess I can just…watch these movies by myself…there's no need for me being here so…." He mumbled quietly as he intently stared at the floorboards with despair….

Another brief silence came before being violently broken by Koro's sudden cries of despair.

"WAhhh! Of course I should have known! I was so rude and now I can't make it up! I'm the worst! I'm such a disgrace! Don't look at me! WaHHHH!" He cried as he plopped down on the ground and started waving his arms and legs like a toddler throwing a fit, his large fluffy maid skirt flaying out in the process.

In all her life Akari had never seen a more pitiful looking man…it made her feel really, really bad… His tears where just jetting out from his eyeballs much like how the water spurts out a running hose when you but your thumb over it.

"W-what! W-why are you crying Mr. Koro? D-Did I do something…say something…Ah! I-I-I am so, so very sorry I didn't mean to make you cry…!" Okuda exclaimed as she kneeled down besides the crying man tentatively placing a hand on Koro's shoulder.

He stopped crying for a while before resuming at full force….The term cry me a river was never more accurate…

"WAHHH! Look at what I did! I made Okuda-chan feel bad, even though it wasn't her fault! Don't cry Okuda!"

"I-I-I'm not though…You are."

"Aguri what do we do….?!" Akari whispered not knowing how to handle the situation while Manami did her best to calm down Koro. Aguri just gave a sheepish smile knowing that her familiar was just being his overly dramatic self…

"He's just being….extra…" Aguri put it lightly. "I got this."

Okuda was relieved when she saw Aguri coming from the corner of her eye. Aguri squatted down to Koro's level and with her mother voice she asked:

"Koro are you upset you couldn't come with us to the beach?" She asked gently.

Koro merely nodded in response as he sniffled.

"So you thought you did something wrong and that's why you wanted to throw this sleepover to make up for it while at the same time having fun with all us?"

Koro furiously nodded. Aguri sighed this was such a Koro thing to do.

"How do you feel right now?" Aguri asked the two young witches. "You two must be tired I'm sure one movie won't hurt…what do you think?" Aguri asked and Koro perked up at that statement, his eyes shining brightly with hope.

"Oh…I don't mind…" Okuda said.

Akari looked at Koro and she couldn't see an evil or rude demon she just saw a child in a grown man's body. He wasn't like anything she was expecting. She sighed…

"Just one movie will be fine…I am tired." She said and Koro's face broke into a wide smile.

"Oh! THANK YOU! So what do you girls want to see: romance, thriller, adventure?" He asked excitedly as he picked up random movies with his tentacle hair.

All three witches could only politely smile as they felt a bead of sweat fall down their forehead. They all thought the same thing. He sure recovered quickly! It kind of makes you wonder if all that crying was just for show…
