The Slime and the School Trip
6 weeks after the Orc Disaster incident.
It's been roughly a month and a half since the battle with the orc army, ever since then things have seemed to go back to normal. The students that had been influenced by the Orc Lord's presence took a few days after the battle ended to rest and make sure there were no lingering side effects. Saizou was unable to remember what happened when he transformed and fought me despite everyone around him telling him of the incident but nothing made him recall the event.
School has been rather peaceful lately, no big fights, no drama brewing, just an average school day like any other. Right now I was in my dorm slowly starting to wake up from a good night's sleep when I felt the familiar sensation of someone holding me tightly.
Kazuto: ( I wonder who it is this time? )
Okay, maybe I was lying a bit when I said school life had been peaceful as of late. The truth is that ever since we returned from battle there have been a few changes taking place at school. For starters Uncle Kurobe had gotten a job here as the school's newest teacher as he taught a metal shop class for students who were interested. Multiple students signed up to take his class as an elective and so far they've been hard at work to improve their skills as quickly as possible. His methods were old fashioned but that seemed to only work in his favor with his new students.
Next is that Souei and Souka have been employed by the headmaster to act as security for the school in case another incident like with the orcs ever occurred. I had a suspicion that they may be the reason why it's been so quiet lately, I don't think anyone would risk doing something stupid with the two of them keeping an eye on things.
Benimaru, Albis and the other Kijin have been given temporary residency in a new dormitory building until they were able to find a new place for them to rebuild their home. Their place was a bit out of the way of the other dorms so they could have their privacy but I was just happy that they had a place to rest until things settled down, especially since we could visit them every now and then.
Finally there's me and the girls. When we got back from the battle everyone heard about what happened so we got treated as celebrities for a few days. That by itself wasn't so bad since they mostly just congratulated us on a job well done. The difficult part came afterwards when the girls started getting confessions left and right from other guys. They politely told them that they were already in a relationship with me and because of that those guys kept challenging me to fights saying that I didn't deserve them. Most of them thought that the girls were the ones responsible for defeating the Orc Disaster and that I was just taking credit for dealing the final blow away from them. For the past 5 weeks I have been getting in fights with some wannabe saying he would take away the girls from me so I dealt with them as quickly as I could. The girls noticed how irritated I got so after 3 weeks of getting challenged they decided that every few days one of them would sleep with me to hopefully make me feel better.
Thankfully it was only sleeping and nothing more, admittedly it did help me keep my stress levels down. So far the ones who slept with me were Moka, Shion, Suphia, Mizore, and Rubi. Yukari and Framea were a little nervous about that so instead they simply settled for spending time with me playing games or watching movies together which did help. Right now I had another one of the girls in my bed and when I saw her familiar red hair I remembered who it was next to me.
Kazuto: ( sleepily ) Miia, wake up. We need to get ready for class.
Miia: ( sleepily ) Give me 5 more minutes Darling. Better yet make it 5 more degrees.
Degrees? Is that the lamia version of minutes or something? Well I guess since Miia is a lamia that meant she needed more time to wake up so she could warm up her body properly. I then felt a tightening sensation around my legs as I moved the blanket a bit to see a large red snake tail wrapping itself around me.
Kazuto: ( Oh crap, I better get out of this before I'm completely trapped in her coils! )
I tried shaking her awake but unfortunately she went into a deeper sleep so this was about to get more difficult than I originally thought.
Kazuto: Miia if you're cold I can go get a hot shower ready for you-... gah!!
Miia: Oh no you don't, you're staying right here with me.
She then wrapped the end of her tail around my head and brought me back down to smother my face in her chest.
Miia: It's much better if you're the one who warms me up darling. I love feeling the warmth coming from your body, it's so soothing.
As Miia's coils tightened further she pressed my face deeper into her soft pillows and because her pajama shirt was loose her breasts came out for me to see in their full glory. The combination of panicking from her coiling around me and seeing her half naked made it difficult for me to focus on changing into my slime form to escape her grasp. Most of my body was already trapped by her tail with her arms firmly holding my head in place leaving only my right arm free at the moment.
Kazuto: ( I don't know how much longer I can take it! I gotta get her off me before I pass out from lack of oxygen! )
At first I tried tapping part of her tail to get her attention.
Miia: ( dreaming ) Darling, be more gentle with me alright.
Crap, that didn't work. The lack of air was getting to me and I was afraid I was about to meet my end like I predicted a few chapters ago.
Thankfully it seemed my luck was about to change as I was able to grab the end of her tail.
Miia: ( gasp ) D-Darling, t-that's the tip of my tail.
I had almost forgotten that some monsters have a physical weak spot, this was my chance to break free. All I had to do was carefully stimulate her tail and hoped it would be enough to loosen her grasp. I spent the next minute or so doing exactly that. The good news was that it was working as her grip finally loosened to the point where I was almost free. The bad news was that I was so focused on getting out of here alive that I completely ignored Miia. I didn't realize it at the time but by rubbing her tail the way I did I was giving Miia a... different kind of stimulation. So much so that her face was getting red, her heart was beating faster, she was gasping for air, her body began to feel a different kind of warmth, and a few areas were a bit... excited I should say.
At long last the death grip I was trapped in was no more, finally I was free!
Kazuto: ( gasping ) Thank goodness... I thought I was done-...gah! Not again!
Miia had just settled for holding me in her arms with my face back in her breasts. I could hear her heavy breathing as she let out a bit of drool from her mouth. At the time I didn't notice but she was also grinding against me a bit and I swear I felt some moisture on my pajama pants.
Miia: ( flustered ) I can't take it anymore. I'm gonna... I'm gonna...
The next few seconds were filled with only the sounds of ecstasy as her grip on me tightened even worse than when I was trapped in her tail. After about 5 minutes she finally settled down as she changed back to human form and headed for the bathroom.
Miia: Okay I'll go take a hot shower. I gotta say that you were really frisky this morning darling.
I was mostly passed out on my bed, honestly I felt like maybe dying would be a good idea at this point.
After that eventful morning we ate breakfast together before heading out to school. The whole way Miia wrapped her arms around mine as she was singing to herself how she was walking to school with her darling. Seeing her smile made me get over nearly dying today, I had to remember that they agreed to this because they were concerned about me. I surprised her by giving her a kiss on the cheek as she gave me one in return.
Miia: I love you darling.
Kazuto: I love you too Miia.
Once we made it to the gate we began to notice some of the students crowded around the area. With a bit of effort we managed to make our way through to see a familiar face waiting at the front gate.
Geld: Ahh Lord Kazuto, it's good to see you and Lady Miia today.
Miia: Hello Geld, good morning to you too.
I could hear the other students whispering amongst themselves asking about why Miia and I were being called " lady " and " lord ". I was kind of hoping to keep this a secret between me and the others but it looks like that's going to be trickier than I had hoped.
Kazuto: Umm Geld, is there any particular reason why you came all the way to Yokai Academy today?
Geld: Actually yes, I was hoping to speak with the headmaster about enrolling some of our younger orcs into the school next year. They have expressed a desire to learn among other monsters now that we have a chance to secure our future.
Miia: That's wonderful, I'm glad to hear that they're willing to learn more about the world now that they have an opportunity to do so.
Geld: Indeed, however on my way here I accidentally ended up getting the attention of your classmates.
Kazuto: I see. Miia I'll take Geld to see the headmaster, why don't you head to class.
Miia: Sure thing. Take care Geld.
Geld: Thank you Lady Miia, have a good day.
After Miia gave me a kiss on the cheek I began to lead Geld to the headmaster's office.
On the way there we kept drawing attention from the others but nothing too extreme. As we continued to walk I began to think back on how we got here. After the battle had ended it was agreed that the orcs weren't to be blamed for the crimes committed by them at the time. Not only were they being used by a mysterious third party but they also were in a desperate situation. They were practically dying out because they were in the middle of a widespread famine. Their king, the former king Geld only agreed to assist Gelmud because of the promise of salvation for his people.
After his defeat representatives from each side, lizardmen, orcs, and Kijin/Yokai Academy gathered together to discuss what was to be done from that point onward.
In the end we agreed to spare the orcs, it was the wish of the late king Geld and I would make sure it was kept. Not only that but Treyni had agreed to allow the orcs a place to stay within the forest. This way they could ensure that their race could be prosperous once more, on the condition that they worked hard to maintain the territory given to them as well as keeping the forest safe for its residents. Since I was the one who defeated Geld and spared the remaining orcs they saw me as their patron and similarly to Benimaru and the others they announced themselves as my subordinates. Treyni agreed to their terms and essentially made me their leader.
Geld: Lord Kazuto, are you feeling well?
I snapped out of my thoughts as we finally arrived at the headmaster's office.
Kazuto: Y-Yeah I'm okay, I was just thinking back to what happened after the battle.
Geld: I see, I still cannot express how thankful I am that you spared my people and have allowed us a second chance so that we may redeem ourselves. Most of us are still truly surprised that you even granted us the gift of naming us.
I then thought back to when I named him, at first I was surprised to learn that some monsters go their whole lives without names. Apparently they don't have the capability to switch to a human form like most of us do because of a lack of magical power. That power is also important to them when it comes to granting names, so I then offered to name them myself. Admittedly they were against this at first due to a combination of feeling undeserving as well as worried for my safety, I later learned by naming them I granted them some of my own power and in turn made them stronger as a result of it. I also needed to be careful since I had a finite amount of magicules and I needed to be careful as to not overdo it. It took days with a few reserved for rest to name the survivors, they also evolved from ordinary orcs to high orcs with the newly christened Geld, named after his father, to evolve into an Orc King.
Kazuto: I did make a promise to your father after all. Even if I hadn't it wouldn't have felt right to punish you guys because someone else was using you. As long as we can work together towards a brighter future than that's all that matters to me.
Geld: I agree. Let me thank you once more Lord Kazuto. We are forever in your debt and we will pay you back to the best of our abilities.
He kneeled at me as I simply gave him a pat on the shoulder.
Kazuto: There's no need for thanks, let's continue to get along and that will be more than enough.
Geld: Of course, I hope to continue this friendship for a long time Lord Kazuto.
We then parted ways as I made my way to class. After that everything returned to normal, except for the rumors of an orc calling me " Lord Kazuto " this morning so I just decided to ignore that for the rest of the day to avoid the headaches.
A few days later and we then find ourselves on the bus taking a field trip to the human world. Right now I was at the back of the bus taking a nap with Moka next to me doing the same thing by resting her head on my shoulder. The others were busy looking out the window taking in all the sights with the other students as both Shion and Rubi were explaining everything we passed dressed as tour guides. Most of the guys were too busy ogling them that I doubted they were paying much attention. Luckily for Ms. Nekonome she had Suphia helping her keep the kids in line.
Yukari: Wow this place is amazing! Check out all the shops!
Mizore: It looks really peaceful. Do you think we'll stop at any shrines during the trip?
Shuna: I think so, we're on this trip for a few days so I think it's very likely.
Framea: If you guys want I'd be more than happy to show you a few cool spots I know about.
Kurumu: That sounds great, do you know any good places to find some cute souvenirs?
Framea: Yeah, there's actually a few good places around this area and a couple more a little further down.
Miia: I can't wait to try out the hot springs tonight. I bet the hotel we're staying in is super nice.
Mizore: If you guys think this one is good I should invite you the one my mother owns.
Kazuto: Your mother owns a hotel?
I started to wake up from my nap thanks to their excitement, thankfully I wasn't that tired so it didn't bug me that much.
Mizore: I guess I never mentioned it until now, but yeah my mom is the owner of a large hot springs resort up in the mountains. It's out of the way in a village for our kind but we get a lot of human and monster customers.
Kazuto: Sounds nice, hopefully we get to see it sometime.
Mizore: I'll make sure we do.
Soon enough we stopped at our destination which for today was visiting some old temples. As we walked through the grounds we couldn't help but marvel at the ancient architecture around us. Our imaginations ran wild at wondering what kinds of events happened during their prime.
When we were allowed to split off into groups to roam freely I couldn't help but feel like someone was watching me.
Kazuto: Great Sage, are we being followed?
Great Sage: It appears so, there seems to be multiple sources focused on you and your group. However I do not detect any hostile intentions.
So were they just curious? Suddenly a gentle breeze passed by and carried the scent of fresh flowers.
????: This way. Follow the scent of the flowers and let it guide you to us.
I wasn't sure why but I ended up doing as I was told, fortunately I didn't sense any hostile intent nor was I being manipulated into doing so. I called the others over and we were all walking into the woods away from the other students.
Framea: Hey are you sure this is a good idea?
Mizore: I don't think we should be heading this far from the group.
Kazuto: I know, but I have the strangest feeling that I have to come here.
Kurumu: Still, it might be a bad idea if we end up getting lost.
Kazuto: Don't worry, I'm making a mental map in case we need it.
About 10 minutes passed until we made our way to a clearing where we were surprised to see Treyni waiting for us all while wearing a similar outfit to the one worn by Rubi and Shion on our way here.
Treyni: Hello again everyone, I'm glad to see you got my invitation to join me today.
Yukari: What's going on, why did you call us out here?
Treyni: I actually wanted it to be a surprise, you see I came to an agreement with your headmaster and prepared a little tour of sorts for you kids. I wanted a way to thank you for defeating the Orc Lord as well as make up for lost time between myself and Kazuto.
Kazuto: Really?
Treyni: Of course, what kind of godmother would I be if I didn't do something nice for my godson and his girlfriends?
With a wave from her hand the vines from a nearby tree moved on their own as a misty portal opened up.
Treyni: Now if you'll follow me we'll get our tour started and meet up with the others shortly.
We stepped through one at a time and soon found ourselves in a different forest than the one we were in before. Already we could tell there was something magical about our new location as Great Sage only confirmed our suspicions by detecting several magical beasts in the vicinity.
Moka: Umm I hate to ask but are you positive we're safe right now?
Framea: Yeah I'm with Moka on that one, those beasts look kind of terrifying.
Treyni: I can assure you that we're perfectly safe. The beasts have been rather tame as of late, not to mention that some of the more dangerous ones are much further in. As long as you stay close there's nothing to fear.
As we walked through the forest we could hear the sounds of birds chirping as well as some small magical creatures running around minding their own business. Framea was busy taking pictures while the rest of us were amazed by the beauty around us. Once we made it across the river we met up with Shion, Rubi and Suphia as our grouped continued to enjoy the peaceful day, we even stopped by a small hill that overlooked part of the forest to take a break and have a small picnic.
Yukari: ( sigh ) It's so peaceful here, I wouldn't mind coming back here more often to get away from the craziness at school.
Suphia: Tell me about it. Some days I get so irritated because of all the paperwork I have to deal with that I just need an escape every once in a while.
Moka: Speaking of work are you sure it was a good idea to leave Ms. Nekonome alone with the other students?
Suphia: I told you guys that it's fine, I know she can get overwhelmed sometimes but she's more reliable than she lets on. Besides if those kids decide to start trouble then they'll have to deal with me.
While everyone was busy enjoying their conversation I was too preoccupied with something way out in the distance. Treyni noticed this and sat down next to me and decided to indulge my curiosity.
Treyni: I take it your busy enjoying the view. Anything caught your interest?
Kazuto: Sort of. What's that structure out in the distance? It seems very important if it's all the way out here in the wilderness.
What I was pointing to was a large building that looked to be made of solid stone with some vines growing around it giving it an ancient feel to it.
Treyni: My my, you're truly quite perceptive my godson. To answer your question, yes it is very important. And if you wish to know more than all you have to do is be a bit more patient. We'll arrive there shortly once the others have properly rested.
Kazuto: Alright. Also I've been meaning to ask but how have the orcs been doing in their new home?
Treyni: They're actually doing quite well. Now that they aren't in danger of going extinct they have been hard at work to not only rebuild their homes but also ensure to keep the forest safe as they promised. I even heard that some of them wish to help in preparing a place for the Kijin as way of atoning for what happened during the war.
Kazuto: I see, I'm happy to hear that they're doing well. Hopefully we can find out whoever was responsible so we can put this whole incident behind us.
Framea: Kazuto, hurry up and join us before your lunch gets cold!
Kazuto: Okay I'm on my way! Would you like to join us Treyni?
Treyni: Of course.
30 minutes passed before we continued on our way. As we traveled I took some pictures of us so we could look back on this trip with fond memories. As we grew closer to our destination I began to feel something warm in my chest, almost as if I was coming home. When we all got a better look at the building I spotted earlier we saw that it was in fact a large castle.
Miia: Incredible!
Rubi: Yeah, this is amazing.
Mizore: I agree, but what's a castle doing all the way out here?
Shion: Yeah, there isn't anyone else for miles.
Treyni then stretched out her hand and revealed that there was an invisible barrier between us and the massive structure.
Treyni: This place has been in this forest for the last few hundred years. A long time ago my sisters and I have been tasked with preserving this place until its rightful master comes to reclaim it.
She then put her hand over her heart as her expression became a mix of both happiness and sadness. Almost as if the memory gave her joy and heartache all at once.
Treyni: A long time ago a young and talented sorcerer became the close confidante to the king. Because of his kindness and wisdom the sorcerer was given this castle and the surrounding land to rule as his own. Unfortunately tragedy struck before he could claim it and with his dying breath he put up this barrier to preserve it until his rightful heir would come to claim it in his stead.
She turned to face us as her outfit changed back into the same dress we saw her in when we first met.
Treyni: For the last 800 years we have safeguarded this castle until the heirs arrival. When that day comes I hope that all of you will join us when we welcome them home.
Kurumu: How come you haven't found them yet? Do they even know that this place exists?
Treyni: In a way yes, but the barrier has a few security measures put into place. The biggest one being that it will only dissipate when the heir has enough power to overcome it. When that happens all the higher races of monsters who reside here will acknowledge them as their master.
She wasn't kidding, the power locked within the barrier was enormous, whoever the heir was would certainly have to be someone powerful. Hopefully they were a kind person, this place was so peaceful and I would hate to see it ruled by someone who didn't care about it and it's denizens.
Treyni: Now then, I believe we should continue with our tour. We have a few more spots to visit and I don't want to make your teacher worry if I didn't bring you back on time. Let's hurry along now.
As we left I took one last look at the castle as it got smaller with every step we took, unaware that it wouldn't be the last time I saw it.
( Timeskip brought to you by chibi Suphia pouncing on chibi Kazuto for snuggles. )
After a long day of exploring the forest we then met up with the rest of our class as we stopped by to buy a few souvenirs before we headed for the hotel we would be staying in for the night.
Kazuto: Uh girls, are you sure it was a good idea to buy this many souvenirs for my parents?
I was busy carrying a few bags filled with souvenirs that the girls insisted on getting for my parents. I could have easily stored it in my stomach but we were out in public and I couldn't risk blowing my cover.
Suphia: Okay maybe we did go a bit overboard, but we want your parents to like us.
Kazuto: I'm pretty sure they already like you girls. You all got a chance to speak with them on Parents Day and last time I called them they kept asking questions about how each of you were doing.
Shuna: We know, but there's nothing wrong with trying to stay on their good side.
Kurumu: Besides who doesn't love souvenirs. I know I picked out a few good ones that you're going to love sweetie.
The sun had finally begun to set once we got to the hotel. After getting settled into our rooms and enjoying a nice dinner it was time to hit the hot springs. I got really lucky and was the first person inside so that meant I had it all to myself at least for a while until the others came in. As I enjoyed soaking in the hot water I couldn't help but think back to the castle Treyni showed us earlier today. I started up at the moon as I thought back to her words about the castle and the person who was meant to rule it.
Kazuto: ( Something happened to them before they could claim it as their own? I wonder what kind of person they were before the accident. )
I then head the door open and several footsteps getting closer, I thought to myself that my time was up and I would be forced to share it with the other guys since we were all separated from the girls.
Miia: No fair, darling got to the bath before us!
Shion: But at least we have it all to ourselves.
Framea: H-Hey there honey, how's the water?
What the fu-...?!
I turned to see all the girls in nothing but towels, also I swear I could feel a little bit of blood dripping from my nose.
Kazuto: What are you doing here?! This is the mens bath!
Suphia: ( smirk ) Actually cutie this isn't the mens bath. I may, or may not, have changed the signs before you got in and changed it back afterwards.
Kazuto: Are you telling me that I'm in the womens bath?!
Rubi: ( smirk ) Wrong again honey. This is the mixed bath and I may, or may not, have paid a little extra to reserve it for the eleven of us tonight. And I may have convinced all the other girls to keep it a secret so we could all spend some quality time together.
All the other girls faces began to turn red, either from embarrassment at seeing them in just towels, the fact that they hid this from me, or from the idea of being so close to me in such an intimate setting. The bad news for me was that I had no way out of this so I decided it would be for the best to just go along with this. My heart was racing so fast because when everyone entered the bath the towels came off with only the steam providing enough coverage to keep me from passing out from seeing them completely bare. I kept facing the water since I didn't want to risk seeing something that I shouldn't.
Kurumu: Aww there's no need to be so bashful my destined one~.
Shion: She's right, we're your girlfriends so it's okay to look at us~.
Miia: You can stare at us as much as you wish darling~.
As the three of them drew closer I dove under water and resurfaced at the other end of the bath.
Kazuto: ( That was close, I don't know how much more my heart can take before I completely lose it. )
Suddenly I felt the temperature drop a bit as I saw Mizore next to me still wrapped in her towel as she dropped several buckets worth of ice cubes into the bath.
Mizore: I hope you don't mind but the water is way too hot for me. This should make it much more easier for me to enjoy it.
Kazuto: It's fine, my skills protect me from drastic changes in temperature so I don't even notice it.
After that I caught whiff of some strange combination of herbs as the water started to take on this weird green tinge. Near the other end I saw Moka drop some herbal mixtures into the water to neutralize the effects it would normally have on her.
Shuna: This is so nice, it's been so long since I've enjoyed myself at a hot spring.
Yukari: Yeah, although...
Yukari couldn't help but look at Shuna's chest, compared to the other girls Yukari was the smallest in the group in terms of cup size. Even Shuna, Mizore and Suphia were a bit bigger than her although the other girls were still bigger than the three of them overall.
Yukari: Why am I the only one who's still tiny?!
Kurumu: ( smirk ) Aww is little Yukari jealous? Too bad half pint, I guess you aren't as blessed as some of us when it comes to womanly charm.
Yukari: Say that again I dare you!
Rubi: Yukari calm down, there's nothing to worry about, you're still young so you have time to develop naturally.
Kurumu: ( smugly ) Yeah, in about 100 years.
Rubi: That's enough Kurumu.
Shion: Besides it isn't as great as you think. After a long day of work my shoulders get really stiff. Not to mention that wearing things like yukatas is very difficult because they tie my sash so tightly around my chest.
Shuna: That's because... big chests get in the way of dressing. Big chests get in the way of dressing. Big chests get in the way of dressing.
We could all feel the dread in every word Shuna spoke, safe to say that the conversation ended there. From that point on the topic of discussion was more or less about what other plans we had for the remainder of our trip as well as what we enjoyed during our private tour earlier today.
The next day we woke up nice and early to start our second day of the trip. Today we were all free to spend it as we wished and Framea came up with the idea for her to show us some of the sights. After getting dressed up we headed out and began to walk around the city and take in all the sights and sounds. She lead us to different locations like parks, shops, she even showed us what the local college was like and I could see myself coming here if I decided to continue my education after high school. After waking around a bit more I then felt some hostility towards me and our group. I focused on finding the source to see four men hiding behind the corner watching us, I could also feel their monster energy pouring out a bit so I knew that these guys were trouble.
Kazuto: ( I don't know what they're after, but I better get them away from any innocent humans that may get caught in the crossfire. )
I carefully snuck away from the girls as I made my way towards the riverbank with those guys following me. Once I was sure I was a good distance away I figured it was time to see what they wanted from me.
Kazuto: You know you four really suck at hiding, so why don't you show yourselves already and face me like monsters.
To my surprise it wasn't just the four of them that appeared, soon enough I was completely surrounded by a bunch of guys dressed as delinquents like in anime, same hairstyle, dressed in dark clothes like open jackets and baggy pants with lots of gold chains, some of them were even wielding baseball bats or brass knuckles.
Back to the four who were following me their leader stepped up. He was wearing a red tengu mask to hide his identity as well as some feathered wing accessories.
( Quick note: the four leaders are the same ones from the anime. Their names are never given so I will refer to one in the mask as the main leader. )
Leader: I must admit I was surprised to see someone like you out here in the open. No doubt you and those girls will become a problem for us and our organization if we don't snuff you out immediately.
Kazuto: What organization?
Leader: No need to be concerned, after all once we're done with you everyone will fear our might.
Their group of delinquents closed in on us a bit, it was clear that they had no intention of letting me go. I did a quick read on their powers and I saw why I didn't sense them earlier, they had very little power to begin with so they wouldn't be a problem. Their leaders admittedly were stronger, but compared to me they weren't anything special. It was kind of embarrassing now that I think about it.
Leader: This is the price you pay for following Yokai Academy, soon all monsters will follow us into a glorious new age! Attack!
The group all charged at me at once, I honestly couldn't believe that I thought these guys were a threat earlier so I decided to put them out of their misery. At least I would have if it weren't for the sounds of fighting happening a little ways away from me. From the corner of my eye I saw some of these guys getting knocked into the air as well as sporting some new bruises as they were being beat up by a familiar lady with white hair. She then leapt to my location and stood side by side with me with a smirk on her face as she cracked her knuckles ready for another round of fighting.
Suphia: Hey sweetie, hope you don't mind me cutting in. I saw you getting surrounded and I thought you didn't want to waste time with them.
Kazuto: Thanks, I really appreciate it.
Leader: Who the heck are you, are you so stupid as to get in our way?!
Suphia: Look who's talking, you're the one wearing that ridiculous mask. If you have a problem with me then why don't you take me on so I can kick your ass!
Rather than take her insults he simply commanded the others to attack us. We spent the next couple of minutes fighting them off pretty easily, I even saw Suphia change into her monster form. She had tiger ears and tail appear while her arms and legs turned into tiger paws with fur growing all the way up to her elbows and knees respectively. She fought with this intense ferocity that was actually very attractive. That combined with the fact that she was having the time of her life made her appear way cooler in my opinion.
Suphia: Seriously is this the best you guys can do! How disappointing, my boyfriend can put up a much better fight than you sad excuses for monsters!
Once they were all beaten down that just left the four leaders of this sad group.
Leader: N-No way! How can you be this powerful!
Kazuto: Sorry but that's on a need to know basis and you don't need to know. Now are you guys going to tell us who you're working for or do we have to beat it out of you four losers?
I simply glared at him while Suphia gave them a sharp toothed grin while a low growl escaped her lips. Just then the biggest guy in their group whispered something in the guys ear, I guess it was enough for the other two to hear as well because right after that all of them started to panic.
Leader: Impossible, there's no way that chick is her!
Kazuto: What the heck are you talking about now?
Suphia: Who knows and who cares, I say let's just beat them up and call it a day. Maybe we can have a little date afterwards, how does that sound sweetie?
Kazuto: Sure, sounds good my little tigress.
Suphia: Ooh~ giving out nicknames now are we? Keep this up and I might just give you the time of your life later tonight~.( wink )
Kazuto: ( blush ) Huh?
Leader: Is she really the she beast of Akihabara?!
Suddenly Suphia's entire demeanor changed. A shadow fell over her eyes as she started to lightly tremble.
Suphia: ( muttering ) What did you call me?
Leader: There's no way she's the legendary she beast! They say she was a flat chested, tomboy otaku with short orange hair that spoke with a backwoods accent!
With every little remark it was like a dagger was impaled into her. Suddenly her eyes changed to resemble those of a tiger that was solely focused on their prey. She let out a powerful roar as she surrounded herself in blue electricity and rushed forward at insane speed.
Suphia: You're dead meat do you hear me!
Well, that happened. They decided to retaliate in an attempt to save their sorry skins but it was pointless. One of them summoned a stream of fire but Suphia expertly dodged them with fluid grace as she pummeled him in no time flat. The shortest member of their grouped tried to bombard her with... pillows? Weird. Either way she simply shredded them as she kicked him into next week. The big guy transformed and tried to use his size to his advantage but Suphia was a much better fighter and took him down with a few combo moves.
Leader: P-Please spare me oh divine she beast!
Suphia: Don't ever call me that!
I decided it would probably be for the best not to watch what happened next. All I know was that there was a lot of screaming, sounds of ripping as well as anger and finally all of these idiots running away in sheer terror.
When I turned back I saw Suphia on her knees breathing heavily with a big blush on her face from embarrassment. I slowly walked to her and once I got close to her I sat down by her side and hugged her as she held me closer to her. We just stayed there for about 10 minutes before she calmed down enough for me to ask her something.
Kazuto: Do you want to talk about it?
Suphia: I don't know, you might laugh at me.
Kazuto: Try me.
I pretty much had a good idea by now but I let her explain it anyway. Turns out she was a certified delinquent when she was younger. The reason why was because she was picked on a lot as a kid and wanted to toughen up, not only that but when she found out her crush was talking about her behind her back during junior high she beat him so badly that all her classmates were afraid of her so rather than avoid it she accepted it and became infamous around school. It also didn't help that when people found out she was a big anime fan they tried using that against her only to wind up beat up shortly afterwards.
Suphia: I never wanted to relive that ever again, sorry I let me temper get the better of me.
Kazuto: It's fine, we all have embarrassing moments we don't want to remember. Doesn't make me love you any less than before.
To show her I meant it I gave her a kiss that she happily returned. When we parted she snuggled closer to me as she began to purr as I scratched her tiger ears.
Suphia: You really know what to say to make a girl melt. Keep it up and I don't think I can hold back much longer. I may just have to take you here and now.
Kazuto: What?
Suphia: Just kidding. Let's head back, the other girls might be worried about you and we don't want that happening now so we.
We then made our way back to the others all while her arm was wrapped around mine. I guess our trip was off to a good start, I wonder what was in store for us in the next few days?
