Hello there, peeps, Klyju here! Man, I hope you didn't wait too long for this chapter! I don't know where my motivation last time came from, but I will try to maintain that motivation up for you all! However, don't get too excited here, since this is just me taking a break from all the action from the last few chapters before I pour my soul into USJ… Hoo Boy…
Anyways, after ending this season, I'll be working on the first spin-off, Daily Life With A Human-Demon Harem! I hope you all enjoy Monster Musume antics and HDOOM Gals! Hell, maybe I'll also start on the secret arc early before Mack kills me.
With all that out of the way, OPEN THE GAME!
As the sun shone through the windows, the Slayer sat on the sofa and watched the TV as it reported the events from last night's battle. Apparently, without the academy, UA and Shiketsu have decided to make a joint education system for the current year, allowing students from the other school to continue their education at UA University. As he munched on his cereal, he saw Tomoyo run down the hall towards the common room in full uniform. "Midoriya, why are you still here, you're going to be late for class!" She exclaimed. "Hurry, we can't miss today!"
The Slayer merely set down his bowl of cereal on the coffee table before picking up a sheet of paper and handing it over to the spectacled woman, who took the time to read the message over. "Dear problem children," Tomoyo began. "Due to the recent incident involving Shiketsu, classes for today are currently canceled to allow the faculty to deal with the matter of transferring the Shiketsu Academy students over to UA, as well as planning out how to construct their new dorms. Enjoy the day off to a legal extent, Ms. Aizawa. Oh"
Tomoyo blushed in embarrassment as she sat down next to Izuku on the couch. "I, uh, I apologize for that, Midoriya." She stated, earning a nod and grunt from the male as he adjusted his position on the sofa. As the duo lounged on the sofa and the morning went on, more students began to come out to the main living area, getting their own breakfasts, some of which sprung up a fair bit more trouble than anyone else.
After putting out the fire, and several apologies from Momo, it was decided that the only ones allowed to use the oven and stove would be Midoriya and Sato.
As the day slowly started for the class, Kaminari looked around after reading the note before she spoke up. "So, we're all able to go do whatever we want?" She asked the class, all of whom let out sounds of confirmation. "Well, why are we gonna stick around here all day? We got a whole two days to ourselves! I'm heading out!"
As the blonde went to her room to change clothes for the day, the rest of the class mused over the statement, realizing that she was right. With no class for the day, they were allowed to do whatever they wanted for that day. Izuku grunted as he thought about what training or exercise he could do today when Mina turned towards him from her seat at the dinner table. "Hey, Midori, what if we all go out for a shopping trip?" She questioned. "Come on, it'll be fun!"
The Slayer tried to interject and refuse the offer, but before he could give his response, Momo spoke up. "She's right, you know," The ponytailed girl stated, to the mild surprise of several other students. "The past few days we've all been here has been pretty hectic, and it would be beneficial if we got some form of rest and relaxation. This would be pretty beneficial to us."
As he tried to counter the suggestion, Tomoyo stepped into the conversation. "That is indeed correct, Yaoyorozu. Besides, we could all go and get something while we wait for classes to resume, and we could get you that lunch I owe you on the way."
Realizing how pointless it would be to argue against the others, as well as the proposition of free food, Izuku nodded in agreement, eliciting some quiet cheer from some of the more energetic girls. With a plan set for the day, a small group of students quickly went to change into more casual clothes, ready to relax for once since they first started the school year. However, as the girls interested in going out got ready, the Slayer mulled over what to do for the day. It had been so long since he's gone on a day off, not helping matters was the fact that he has never once gone on a social outing since he was a child. What do people usually do on trips like this?
As the group composed of Ochako, Tomoyo, Momo, Jirou, Eiko, and Mina went down to leave on their trip, they were approached by two students that they didn't expect. "Bakugo, Todoroki? Is there something you want?" Ochako questioned the duo as Katsumi looked at the group with some hesitation in her eyes, while Shoko stared at them with her usual deadpan before the peppermint-haired girl spoke. "We were wondering if we could go with your group," She said in a monotone voice. "We could go for a chance to grab some stuff we want, and since you're going to where we can find them, we thought that we might as well go with you all."
The girls mulled over the request the resident Ice Queen asked of them, but before they could give a response, they noticed the Slayer coming up towards him, dressed in a red shirt and jeans combo that emphasized his muscular form, eliciting a slight blush from the girls, including the stoic Shoko, before they recovered their composure, calming down their lustful desires. "I see that you are ready to go, right, Midoriya?" Tomoyo asked, earning a nod from the green-haired man.
As the group soon left, Kaminari and some of the remaining girls waved the others goodbye. "Don't you all worry, we can manage the fort down here!" The energetic blonde yelled out excitedly as Minerva let out a menacing giggle from inside the building, something that concerned Tomoyo and Momo before the others called them out to leave. With only a stern glance, the sophisticated duo went and ran to catch up to their friends to start their day, taking note of several other students that weren't on campus grounds yesterday at UA, most likely the Shiketsu Academy transfers.
Before long, the group made it to a nearby shopping district, and thanks to their early timing, it was empty enough for them to enjoy with little hassle. "Wow, I've never been to this place before! The most I've ever gone to was a flea market!" Ochako stated, quickly covering up her mouth at the end of her sentence, though the Slayer noticed the hint of her Kansai accent at the end. For some reason, he felt the need to ask her about why she tried to hide her heritage, but he knew that it would be better to do so elsewhere when nobody else would be around to judge her right off the bat. Besides, right now, she would probably just want to relax.
Soon, the party began their day, dragging Izuku along with them wherever they could. From checking out new electronics to finding new parts for his PC, which he inspected with great interest, lamenting the fact that he didn't have the money to get them. Then again, he could get some cash if he plays his cards right with internships in the future. Besides, his setup is still going great with how much overkill he put into the thing, and with the knowledge from maintaining VEGA up on the Fortress, it should last him a good millennium or so.
Eventually, the time came for a dreaded shopping tradition of humanity. The Clothes shop.
The bane of every boy, and the greatest challenge amongst men. It was time for the Slayer to take part in this rite of passage as well, as so many other men had gone before him.
"Hey, Midori, think you can watch over our stuff while we try out some of these clothes?" Mina questioned, earning an unbothered nod from Izuku. This made the grin on the pink girl's face grow ever so slightly. "Thanks, Midori, you're the best!" She cheered as the other girls walked into their changing rooms before a mischievous look grew on her face. "Don't you worry… We'll give you a show soon!" She said in a teasing voice as she followed the other girls, leaving the male behind in his seat, who let out a sigh from his nose after a few moments of silence. It's strange being so human once again after all that has happened to him. On one hand, the Slayer desired to keep up with his combat training, hunting down any demons that could be making their way into this realm, but on the other hand, Izuku enjoyed the chance to just relax. After fighting for so long, a break sounded nice to him, even if the day did seem like an episode from a slice-of-life harem anime.
Quietly chuckling to himself at the thought, Izuku didn't notice that he caught the attention of a nearby woman, who recognized him immediately before she had a minor panic attack. Quickly calming herself down, the woman steeled her nerves, a determined expression on her face formed as she went and walked over to the Slayer, who felt someone coming up towards him. "Yo, Midoriya!" Rumi greeted with a wave as Izuku turned towards her with a small nod of greeting, though he did quirk up an eyebrow in curiosity at the sight of the usually battle-ready heroine in a casual area. "Fancy seeing you here! Never expected somebody as tough as you being somewhere like here!"
Midoriya merely smirked and tilted his head towards her, as if to say "Same about you." Seeing the cocky look on his face, the rabbit woman let out a haughty laugh. "Well, not everyone can keep fighting as long as you! Even I need a break sometimes!" She stated with a grin before she asked him a question. "By the way, what about you? What are you doing here? Are ya out on a date with someone?"
For some reason, the thought of her former caretaker elicited a pang in Rumi's heart, but she had no idea why she felt this way. Whatever, it wasn't important right now, there were bigger matters at hand. As she thought about this, the Slayer pondered over her question before he began signing towards her. "I guess. I was dragged here by some of my classmates for R&R. So far, it's going… adequately."
"Huh, didn't figure you for the type to let somebody drag you around," Miruko said.
"Hey, if it meant free lunch, I'm game," The green-haired man responded to her. "I don't exactly mind it, really… It just feels strange to not be doing something relating to ripping and tearing demons."
"Well, I guess that's what happens when you've fought as long as you have," The rabbit woman said as she took a seat next to the Slayer. "Sometimes, you just need to take a good rest before getting back in the game. Even I know that."
The Slayer merely let out a grumble at the statement, as if relenting his situation. Before anything else could be said, however, Momo walked out of her changing room wearing a red sundress that was embroidered with a striking blue design, almost reminiscent of the Fire-blue buildings he encountered back in his first venture to Hell. "Midoriya, what do you…?" She began to question before noticing the rabbit woman next to him. "Oh, Ms. Miruko! It's an honor to meet you!"
"Heh, nice to meet you, too, kid," The heroine said with a cheeky grin. "So, you must be the lucky girl he's got eyes for, huh?"
The ponytailed girl blushed at the statement, not expecting something like that to be said before she began stammering in response. "I-i wouldn't say that! We-we're just friends! College dorm mates!"
"Oh my god, you two are dorm mates," Rumi smirked at the retro meme she used, but it still had the effect of embarrassing the girl further at the implications of the joke. Sadly, it seemed that it didn't work on Izuku, who still had his composed expression, but at least she got a smirk out of him. Glad to see that he enjoyed her teasing of the girl.
Thankfully, before Momo could die of embarrassment, Tomoyo stepped out of her closet, dressed in a semi-formal, semi-casual polo and pants combo that complimented her appearance. "Midoriya, do you believe that this outfit…" She began before noticing Miruko sitting next to the man while Momo was covering her face, a luminescent blush emanating beneath her hands.
"Did… Did I miss something here?" The blue-haired woman asked.
"Oh, nothing much, really, just teasing the big guy's girl," Rumi stated before turning towards Tomoyo. "Or maybe you're the girl and she's the second in command?"
The normally composed and rule-following girl immediately blushed at the insinuation, her hands chopping up-and-down as she tried to find the words to retort against the heroine. "We aren't in a polyamorous relationship!" She exclaimed, getting the attention of the other girls in their changing rooms as they poked their heads out, all while Iida kept ranting embarrassingly. "I mean, it's not illegal to do so, but we aren't at that point, and while I'm sure that Midoriya could be a great partner-! I mean-! Gagh!"
Hearing this, some of the girls came walking out of their changing rooms, each wearing their own different outfits, before heading towards where Tomoyo was. "Hey, what's going on here?" Ochako asked."Are you alright, Iida?"
"Yes, I'm perfectly fine!" Tomoyo exclaimed, her irises having shrunk. "Just… just processing a few things!"
"Like what, being part of a harem or something?" Mina asked teasingly, which caused some of the more reserved girls to sputter. "Oh my God, I was just messing with you girls!" The pinkette stated before a cheeky grin formed on her face. "But if you wanted to, we could always just ask Midori here if he wants it…"
Honestly, the small amount of chaos that was created from that one statement was ridiculously entertaining, much to the amusement of the Slayer and Miruko. "You know, in hindsight, I'm so glad I'm here right now." The pair thought in unison with smirks on their faces.
After the situation calmed down and the girls paid for their new clothes, the group of students, plus a rabbit hero, walked through the streets of the shopping district, looking for something to distract themselves from the earlier discord, only for the sounds of a growling stomach to distract them. "Maybe we should go get lunch before anything else, guys?" Jiro asked, earning various noises of agreement from the others, with the exception of Miruko.
"I don't get why most people like getting fast food so much," She said as she pulled out a carrot from a pouch on her waist. "It's better to make your lunch at home for later."
For some reason, Izuku felt the need to take the carrot away from the rabbit woman before it caused her problems down the line.
Whatever, it was probably nothing, she could burn it off. Right now, he was hungry, and after scoping out the area, he pointed towards a nearby burger joint, letting out a grunt to alert the others of what he wanted.
After ordering their food, as well as discussing who would pay for the food (Momo seemed pretty amendment about covering for them, and Tomoyo wanted to pay for Izuku's meal), the group found themselves sitting at a large table, waiting on their food and waiting for someone to say something for some small talk. Eventually, Katsumi worked up the courage to speak. "So, Izuku," She began. "How'd you learn to fight like that? Someone must've taught you something."
"Yes, I agree," Shoko interjected. "Clearly, you must've learned that fighting style from somewhere. Who taught you how to fight?"
Izuku mulled over his memories, raising his hands up before he began to sign out his answer to the group. "Well, most of it was self-taught, meant to adapt with whatever situation I find myself in, since most of the time, the demons I fight come in random hordes, but I did receive some training." Momo translated. "However, I did learn improvisation and hand-to-hand combat from the Night Sentinels."
"Night Sentinels? Sounds like a bunch of cool guys." Jirou said, earning a smirk and nod from the Slayer.
"You also once mentioned that you received military training at one point, haven't you, Midoriya?" Eiko asked, earning a nod from the Slayer. "Must've been awesome receiving training like that, huh?"
"Yeah, it was pretty…" Izuku began signing before he froze up.
He remembered the beatdown he suffered at her hands… How brutal she was during their training… How merciless…
It's okay Slayer, she's not here right now… She can't get to you anymore, and she DEFINITELY can't hurt you… Besides, you're literal leagues above her, what could she ever do to you?
Another Dimension
As the female marine stomped out a monster's head in, she felt something down her spine before looking around. "Felt like somebody was talking shit about me…" She muttered before shrugging. "I'm just gonna kick their ass later. Ain't that right, Rev?"
"Damn you to Hell, Female Slayer!"
7th Dimension
"It was pretty great." Izuku finished signing after a bit of a pause. Though a bit concerned with the hesitation he showed, the girls chalked it up to him trying to remember the experience. Besides, their food was on the way, so it wasn't too important right now. However, as they were about to start eating, the group was interrupted by someone new showing up.
"Hey, do you mind if I sit here next to you all?" The blonde questioned the group as she sat down next to them. She seemed familiar to the group, though Miruko quickly figured out who the newcomer was. "Wait, aren't you that newbie, Mt Lady?" The rabbit woman asked, surprising the others as the blonde made a hush motion.
"Don't out me like that!" The size-changing woman angrily whispered to the 5th ranked heroine. "It's Takeyama outside of work!"
Upon hearing this, the rest of the group noticed the number of bandages on the heroine's body that were peeking out from under her clothes, as well as the small one on the bridge of her nose. "Listen, I just want a break after that shit I went through, and the docs told me to take a break for a few weeks, so I'm just taking the time to enjoy myself!" Said heroine explained to the group before she took notice of the sole male at the table. "Wait, you're that Midoriya guy that made it into the Hero Course and fought off those fuck-tons of demons, aren't you?!"
This earned a nod from Izuku before Takeyama calmed her composure. "Nice to see that you made it into UA, kid," She said before a nervous expression grew on her face. "Also, I'm… sorry about what I said to you that day you went to try and stop that slime villain. Even though you were reckless, you did more than I could, and I never meant to push you too far."
Seeing him raise an eyebrow, the heroine explained. "Ya see, after you went missing, me and a couple of others helped out in the investigation, but when we couldn't find you, some of us assumed the worst, and we felt guilty about what happened."
The Slayer waved it off, signing towards her. "I'm over that. Besides, it wasn't your fault for what happened, and you didn't know at that time. I also admit that I was a bit trigger-happy that day."
Besides, technically, she was right. To this day, he still sometimes felt the fireballs burning against his body, his flesh being scratched and bitten by the hordes of demons he encountered when he stepped through that portal. To this day, he still questioned how he was still alive, and how he came back. Was it fate? Or was his will and rage against the demons the reason as to how he survived?
"Wait, so, just like that?" Takeyama asked in surprise.
"I gotta agree with her, Izuku," Katsumi butted in with a slight scowl on her face. "Even after what she said to you with those… other people… You're still gonna forgive her?"
Seeing the green-haired man nod in response, the group seemed a bit befuddled. Wouldn't it be more likely for him to hold a grudge? Or maybe because she was a human, who learned from her actions, that he was willing to forgive her? Sometimes, he was a very confusing person at times…
As the girls pondered over the male, the Slayer looked around before his attention was caught by a nearby TV, which described a conference with the government, UA, and Hayden. The banner on the display seemed to reference him and how he was doing things about the demon threat. Quite frankly, the Slayer could care less about what they thought about his methods. The only way to fend off the demon threat was to be worse than them, and it worked out for him since he first started his war.
After enjoying their meal, the group felt the need to enjoy one last venture through the district, though none of the stores seemed to have anything that caught their interest. For a moment, they considered ending the day right then and there, but Mina spotted something nearby in the distance before calling out to the others. "Hey, let's go to the arcade, we could win something cool there!" Mina exclaimed as she grabbed Izuku's arm, getting his attention before she tried dragging him towards the local hangout.
As the group walked into the establishment, they looked around, the machines and games flashing lights to entice them to play the games that were there, some showing off prizes that were caged within them. As Izuku looked around, he felt Mina tug at his arm. Looking down towards the shorter girl, he saw that she was pointing down towards a retro arcade machine with what looked like dance pads in front of the screen. Quickly running up to the pads, Mina excitedly put in some money into the machine, quickly choosing a song to dance to. "Come on, Midori, show me what you've got!" The pinkette said excitedly as the song started up. Not wanting to disappoint, the green-haired man stood on his side of the platform, the song starting up before the pair began to dance to the beat.
As the music quickly dropped the beat and the screen began to fill with arrows, Izuku and Mina quickly began to move to the beat, doing their best to keep up with the game's beats. As they did so and their hearts began to beat faster, a small smile formed on the Slayer's face. Despite being dragged into something that didn't benefit his crusade, spending time with the girls seemed… fun. For once, he was enjoying something that didn't involve violence. He hasn't done something like this since…
Daisy…
The thought of his pet rabbit sombered his mood for a bit, but seeing the grin on Mina's face lifted it back up. For some reason, the pink girl's energy seemed to be infectious, as if she was capable of bringing everyone's mood up. All in all, it was fun just being around her.
However, as quickly as the dance began, it soon ended. He hadn't even noticed how long they had been playing at the game, but thankfully, much to Mina's joy, they managed to achieve a particularly high score without realizing. "That was pretty fun, Midori!" Mina said with a big smile. "I never knew you had moves!"
The Slayer gave her a smile in response to the statement as the duo began to walk around to find their friends, when something suddenly caught his eye by the prize counter. Walking over to it, his eyes slowly sparkled as he saw a figurine shaped in the form of his Praetor Armor. It looked so different compared to the rest of his collection, and the figure collector within him began to claw its way out of his heart. He didn't care that someone made it without his consent.
He needs it.
Looking beneath the figure, he saw that he was going to need 500,000 tickets for the thing. Thankfully, he had enough money for the games to win tickets, and he knew which one gave out the most in little time.
He smirked as he saw the Skee Ball machines clear of any other players. This is gonna be easy.
After spending a significant amount of yen, the Slayer took his pile of tickets to the counter, a grin on his face as the person at the register took his tickets before he pointed to the Slayer Figure. Finally, a new addition to his collection. He fidgeted like a child as he received the figure, raising it into the air with a smile on his face. "So, uhhh, are you gonna get anything else, man?" The girl at the counter asked. "You got plenty of tickets left for some other prizes."
Taking a quick look at the rest of the prizes, Izuku pondered over what else to get. He already got what he wanted, so why would he grab anything else? Then again, the girls would like something else to make the trip worthwhile. His eyes laid sight upon a small group of prizes that were laid within a corner, opposite of where the figurine of him was. Maybe the girls would like them.
As he requested for the group of plushes that laid in the corner, he sensed the girls walking up towards him. "So, Midoriya, did you win anything?" Tomoyo asked the man, only to be interrupted when she saw the arrangement of plushies being brought up before Izuku began to give them out to the girls. "Oh, thanks!"
As the girls let out similar sounds of gratefulness, some were amused by the choices of prizes that the Slayer picked out for them. Rumi smirked at the cartoonish carrot in her hands. Ochako smiled as she squished the smiling Mochi that let out a squeak. Shoko looked at the fire-and-ice themed plush as it smiled towards her… before she hugged it tighter against her body.
After leaving the arcade and splitting away from the group, Rumi waved the students goodbye, walking away as she held the plush that Izuku gave her, a warm fuzzy feeling in her heart eliciting a smile to form on her face. However, something else was on her mind, and she knew exactly what it was. She didn't have the chance to tell Izuku the truth of who she was, and being in public made it even more difficult for her to tell him.
"Dammit, why did this have to be so hard?!" She thought to herself. "I'm the number five hero, I face every challenge without hesitation! Why is it so hard to tell somebody you know the truth?!"
Feeling some frustration at her inability to take any action today, she tried to calm down, thinking how it would be too soon to drop the bomb on him. There had to be a better time for her to tell him. As she mulled over what chances there were, she remembered about the UA Sports Festival and what it was for. The internships would let her get close to him, with nobody to get in the way. "Heh, for once in my life, I need to get help to get what I want," She thought to herself, an amused smirk forming on her face. "Don't worry, Izuku. I'll make sure we meet again properly soon."
Meanwhile, as the Slayer in question walked back to the dorms with the rest of the group, Eiko quickly walked up to the taller man's side with a smile before she spoke to him. "Ya know, Mido-bro, today was pretty fun!" She told him. "It was nice to hang out with you!"
"I agree," Momo said as she came up to the red and green duo. "It was quite enjoyable to relax after such a hectic first week, and seeing you being so human was quite the nice change of pace for you. It mustn't be so healthy to constantly obsess over your war against the demons. You need to take care of yourself, and that should involve taking time off."
The Slayer bristled at the statement, but he knew that she meant well, even if it was something that wasn't possible for him, who had to relearn how to be human. However, spending time with them today… He figured that it should be easy enough.
As the group walked into the dorms, they felt something was off, a sensation that was further emphasized when they saw the girls that stayed behind sitting down near the kitchen with serious looks on their faces. "Hey guys!" Mina greeted the group as she saw the haunted expressions on their faces. "Uhhhh, did something bad happen?"
"Oh, nothing much," Kaminari stated as she went ahead over to the kitchen counter. "We just have a couple of things to ask Midoriya."
"What kind of things?" Ochako asked the group with a bit of worry on her face.
"Nothing much," Rika stated as she reached behind the counter to grab something. "Just, uhhhh, What the fuck is this?!"
She pulled out what she reached for, slamming what appeared to be a Pinkie's head down, though it appeared to be freeze-dried, with pieces of it having been cut off. "Midoriya, I was gonna get some ground beef to make patties, and we find this, what the fuck, bro?!"
"What?" The Slayer signed. "Nobody complained about it, and you all enjoyed my cooking!"
"What do you mean by that, Midoriya?!" Tomoyo asked indignantly. "It sounds like… you… Oh my God…"
Realization dawned upon the group as they quickly understood what he meant by his cooking. Some of them grew green as they felt bile rise up in their throats, horror taking over their expressions as they turned towards the demon's head. "Izuku, what the fuck…" Katsumi gasped out as Momo felt tears build in her eyes.
"Oh God… But it tastes so good…"
With that, the girls began to argue about what Momo just said, chaos quickly filling up the dorms. As he watched, the Slayer smirked in amusement. Oh yeah, it's gonna be fun here if this kind of crap starts happening often.
Elsewhere
As the smoky figure cleaned the glass in her hand, her ward sat down nearby, leaning on the bar's counter with a smile on her face. "So, we know their schedule now…" Her ward stated.
"And we have until Monday to prepare…" Kurogiri said in a calm voice, which echoed through the bar. "I believe that is enough time, isn't it, Shigaraki?"
Omake!
Izuku looked under his bed for Daisy, a worried expression on his face. "Oh, Daisy, where are you?" He asked nobody. It had been only a few weeks since he found the rabbit, and only a few days since she recovered from her injury. In that time, he grew close to her, as she had been his anchor to regaining his sanity after fighting off Hell for so long. But for some reason, she had gone missing today, and he was quickly getting worried.
"Umm, brother Midoriya?" He heard Nazar speak, and the green-haired man turned around so fast that the Night Sentinel was surprised that the man's neck didn't crack. However, he wasn't given enough time to ponder over that as he felt the rabbit he was carrying being yanked out of his hands before the owner of said rabbit inspected her, shocked at how big she had gotten in size.
"Oh my God, Daisy, what happened?!" Midoriya asked, horrified at how much chub his rabbit had. "I thought I gave you enough food!" In response, Daisy let out a burp, belching out a piece of carrot that was unchewed. Putting two and two together, Izuku hardened his expression. "Don't you worry, I'll help you get that weight off soon enough!" He said determinedly. "And after that, no more carrots to fatten you up!"
Hearing the statement of being deprived of her favorite food elicited a horrified squeak from the bunny, who had quickly grown somewhat addicted to the food mere hours ago.
Eons later…
The Slayer let out a sigh as he took yet another carrot out of Rumi's hands as he sat next to her. "Oh come on, lemme have one!" The rabbit woman said in a huffy voice as she pouted angrily. Much to her dismay, the Slayer shook his head, not willing to let her eat any more carrots after she had eaten two at once. "Just give them to me, I can stop whenever I want!"
The Slayer refused to budge.
"Please, just give me my bunny crack!" Rumi exclaimed as she tried reaching for the carrots, only to be halted by the Slayer.
And that is a wrap folks! I hope you all enjoyed another chapter of Symbol of Hope! I am VERY sorry that I kept you all waiting for a while, and I don't have any excuses other than work and procrastination. Sadly, this is gonna happen again, since at the time I'm writing this, The Ancient Gods DLC for DOOM Eternal is dropping tomorrow! God, I am so hyped for it!
Also, sadly, more bad news. Due to some issues, the Blessings Arc of the story will have to be reworked, as I do not have permission from Mack and Vizoc to use their story as a basis. However, that doesn't mean it will be cancelled, rather, I will have to improvise.
Also, I have talked to the person that took up my first challenge of writing the "Blessings of the Goddess" version of the story, and they said that it's most likely going to be delayed due to their classes. Please be patient with them, as they are taking their time to deal with both.
And one last thing, the second challenge, writing a reaction fic to this, is still available to pick up.
Until next time, Klyju out!
