"Who the hell are you?", I growl at the stranger as I stand up from the table, shooting him a glare all the while.
"I am the section chief of Fairy Tale's Seventh Branch, Kanade 'God' Kamiya. I have come to welcome San Otonashi into our ranks.", he cheekily replies with a smug grin on his face.
"So you're with Fairy Tale then? That means you aren't human. Great, now I don't have to resist the urge to crush every bone in your body.", I chuckle to myself as I greedily crack my knuckles.
"What do you want with San?", Tsukune furiously questions the stranger with his usual worried expression on his face.
"Our scouter, Tsubaki, is good at his job. He could tell just by looking at you that you were something special. 'She suppresses her monster energy so well that it's impossible to tell how great she might be. Someone only does that if they don't want to be noticed.', he said. And I can tell that he was right, you are hiding something. Join our group. I won't let you think badly of us, San Otonashi.", Kanade explains to us as he focuses his sharp gaze on the mute girl.
"Yeah, we're not going to let that happen.", I scoff at the idiot as Moka, Tsukune and I all move in between him and San.
"What's with you people? You're so rude. I'm in the middle of a conversation, don't you know? Kids with no sense of courtesy deserve a certain death.", he groans out before releasing a massive wave of monster energy that pushes us back a bit while engulfing himself in a bright white light. As the light fades away, we see he's thrown away his human shell and return to his monster form with large bird like wings on his back and thin, bird-like legs.
"Everyone, please be careful. This ability and that form. It's that of a Siren! His voice can trick you to your death!", Yukari quickly warns us as she pulls out her wand in a panic as her, Kurumu, Mizore, and Ruby all stand up against this oddball.
"My body...is all numb. I can't move.", Mizore groans as she drops to a knee, unable to stand.
"Is it because of this song?", Kurumu furiously growls as she also falls to her knees.
As the others start to fall like flies, I manage to stay standing, refusing to go down to something like this. This guy's voice is so loud and annoying, if only I could get over to him and shut him up.
Much to our surprise, we all see Marin stand up from behind the stranger with a wooden chair in her hands as she says to the Siren, "You...you're the one who killed my husband in this inn four years ago.", as she slowly makes her way towards him.
"He killed her husband? That guy?", Tsukune gasps in complete shock at this sudden new information.
Moka tries her best to stop the woman, calling out to her as she shouts, "Don't do it, you can't stop him Marin!", but this doesn't work in the slightest as Marin only focuses on the Siren in front of her.
"Four years ago? Oh that would've been around the time when I was dispatched to this branch. I was pretty pissed about it then. I hated coming to this little hole that stunk like fish. That's why I went here and there, killing a bunch of humans. I was just clearing away my gloom! So why would I bother to remember each and every one that I killed!?", Kanade gleefully replies with an evil smile.
Marin goes to swing at him, lifting the chair over her shoulders to strike him down, but before she can even try to hit him, San tackles her to the ground. "San!? Let me go, that guy- that guy!", Marin begins to shout at the silent girl before she sees the tears welling up in San's eyes. Unable to hold her sorrow back any longer, Marin begins to cry too as she shouts, "Why? Why does someone like this exist? It looked like I was going to forget, but thanks to San I was able to know what it was like to have a family again. It looked like I was going to be able to treat that all as a bad dream, so why does he show up now!? DISAPPEAR MONSTER! DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE HUMAN WORLD EVER AGAIN!"
She didn't just say that... That kind of stings a bit honestly. "Aha, did you hear that San? That woman really doesn't know anything! Listen well human.", Kanade cheekily boasts with a wild grin across his face as he seems to take in all of Marin's hatred towards our kind. He lets loose a crazed laughing fit at the young girl's expense before pointing at her and saying, "San is a monster! A monster just as I am, get it? You were tricked! Your 'family' is nothing more than a lie! You were just being manipulated moron!"
After hearing the Siren's words, Marin is in complete disbelief as she shouts out, "What? What are you saying? That's a lie! Like that's true!"
He doesn't seem to take that too well, turning to the woman with a furious glare as he tells her, "Ignorance is so unsightly. You deserve to die!", before starting to sing again.
"Marin, look out!", Tsukune shouts to the emotional widow, but before she can do anything Kanade's song is canceled out by an almost angelic voice.
Marin and Kanade are both taken aback by this, and as Marin looks back at San she asks the silent girl, "San? Did you just... sing?"
San answers this by continuing to sing, unleashing a powerful soundwave towards Kanade, countering his raw power with remarkable precision while she starts to close the gap between them with a slow stride.
If she's able to counter Kanade by singing like that, that means...San is a Siren just like Kanade! Marin picks up San's notepad and looks at it in disbelief as she says, "No way. No way!"
San suddenly sprouts her wings as she continues to sing her own song to counter Kanade's. Kanade tries another song attack, but San counters it perfectly with her own causing the windows of the inn to shatter. It seems she's using the same sound waves and frequency in her sonic wave attacks to counter his attacks through her song.
"Outstanding! My voice, which can steal the very life of one who hears it, you are able to cancel it out perfectly with the same power! You are a Siren just like myself!", Kanade exclaims in complete disbelief, rejoicing in this new found revelation.
Marin is still in disbelief, desperately calling out to her adopted daughter as she cries out, "That can't be. He's lying, right? You aren't the same as him, right San? The same a that man who killed and ate my husband four years ago? Are you too, a human eating monster, San?"
San doesn't answer the woman though, only looking back to her with tears in her eyes as she mutters, "Marin."
"Human eating? You're a little mistaken. I didn't really kill him to eat him. It was all for fun. Since ancient times Sirens have been killing humans as a way to pass the time. It is just in our nature. Actually, killing humans is quite refreshing. It helps to clear up the mind.", Kanade happily 'educates' the human with a psychotic look in eyes.
I think I've heard enough of this guy's shit. "Can you shut up already!? Your voice is so annoying! Nobody wants to join your shitty organization now shut up and surrender or we're going to have to kick your ass!", I furiously shout, giving him one last chance to give up before I decide to stomp his ass into the ground.
"Annoying? You need to change your tone, boy.", Kanade replies as he strums his harp. Suddenly a blast of pressurized water comes at me, but my monster energy evaporates it before it's able to hit me.
"Oh, you were planning on shooting me with some water. You really are stupid.", I mock the bird brain before glancing over my shoulder to see what just tried to shoot at me. And when I do, I find a surprised Merman coming out of the ground like it's water.
"I can attack with San cancelling out my songs. I just have to change my tune. With this technique I can call more of my members. Space Transfer Technique: Water Mirror!", the annoying Siren shouts as more Mermen come out of the ground with another strum from his harp.
"What is this? They're coming out of the ground one after the other!", Kurumu exclaims in disbelief as more and more Mermen continue to appear from the water-like portals in the ground.
"Space Transfer Technique! It's like the inter-dimensional tunnel linking the human world and the academy. Linking two separate places through a different dimension is a high level magic skill!", Yukari explains as she summons a washtub, using it like a shield to defend herself from the water monsters.
The Mermen surround Kanade like a wall and he says, "If I use this technique I can call as many members from my branch as I want. There's no way you can run away now. Give up and come with me San!"
She shakes her head no, refusing his offer, and with a disappointed sigh as he says, "No helping it then. I'll have to brainwash you to take you with me then."
I turn my sights to the others and with a quick nod, I tell them, "Okay guys, if it's possible we want to take that loud guy alive. Everyone else can be taken out, but we want to get him and see what we can find out about Fairy Tale and their plans so far."
The others nod in agreement while San and Marin give us confused looks. With the Siren's annoying melody canceled out, Kurumu rushes in taking out three Mermen in a single slash.
"Wow, you guys are a lot less impressive than I thought you'd be.", Kurumu mocks the Mermen as she takes down two more of them with a X shaped slash from sharp nails.
Three more Mermen pop out from the ground and shoot their water cannons at Kurumu, but their water jets are instantly frozen mid air as Mizore says, "A high pressurized water cannon huh. It seems to have as much force as a gun, but any water based attack can always be frozen."
Tsukune and I both take out a few more of them, landing a few strong punches that send them sinking back down into their puddles as I say, "You must be pretty shitty at finding strong members if they're all like this."
Kanade seems a bit surprised by how well we're doing and asks, "What the hell are you lot?"
"We are those who wish for harmonious existence between humans and monsters.", Ruby says as she wraps up and crushes five Mermen at once with her magical feathers.
"We won't allow you guys to overthrow the human world.", Yukari explains as she takes out three Mermen by dropping one large wash tub on their heads.
As Kokoa and Moka take down a few more Mermen, the older vampire flipping two of them over her shoulder into another group of them before her little sister crushes them with a mighty slam of her hammer, as I say, "We're your number one enemy Fairy Tale."
"So long as we live, we won't let you do as you please!", Moka passionately exclaims as we charge at him together.
"Go to Hell! I can take you all out in just one shot!", Kanade roars as he tries to sing at us, but San's song protects us from his blast, countering his song but only enough to keep it from reaching us, leaving us safe behind a small barrier made from her soft melody.
I guess her song can only reach so far. Can I amplify it somehow? Wait! The hellhounds! I can have them sing similar to how San sings and use that to increase the range to a point where we can get close enough to hit him. Wanting to test my theory, I transform into my S class form and create three hellhound and have them memorize her singing patterns.
"Reiji, what are you planning with those hellhounds?", Moka asks as San continues to counter his song.
"If I can amplify San's song by having them sing with her then it should let us get close enough to land a good hit in.", I quietly answer her, not wanting the other Siren to hear my plan.
"But don't dogs howl? Will that even work?", Kokoa doubtfully growls at my perfect plan.
"Of course it'll work, maybe.", I somewhat confidently reply as I have them start howling along with San. It seems to be working so far as the field seems to have grown to the point where we can almost reach him.
"What is this nonsense!? My song is being countered by mere dogs too!? How can this be!?", Kanade furiously exclaims as the hellhounds continue to boost San's song.
"Since you two are able to cancel each other out perfectly to a complete standstill, your powers are probably around the same level so if I add a bit of my own power into the mix it gives us just enough of an edge up to kick your ass.", I cheerfully note as I go for a direct hit on his face. Before I can hit him San gets taken out by one of the Mermen's water cannons and the field shrinks.
"Yes! Now with her out of the way you all can hear my Death Melody!", Kanade shouts before he starts singing again. The field has shrunk so much that everyone is outside of it when he starts singing. I lose my sight and I feel as if something is trying to crush my skull.
"I can't see. He's took my sight.", I hear Mizore cry out from the darkness.
"My head feels like it's cracking! This is the power of a siren's song?", I hear Kurumu groan as well as I sense her monster energy next to Mizore's and Ruby's.
"Since San has been injured the field we were using to protect ourselves from his song must've shrunk! At this rate...", Ruby begins to say before I grab her and the other girls and bring them over to the hellhounds.
"Reiji?", Ruby asks confused as to how I found them without my eye sight.
"You all talk too much. Stay here and I'll get Moka and the others while Tsukune and I deal with this guy. You try to get San back on her feet so we can shut this guy up.", I say before I walk out of the barrier to get the other girls.
I barely sense Yukari's much weaker monster energy and pick her up, but as I do, she goes into a complete panic, wildly flailing her arms as she shouts, "Hey, let go of me you weirdo! Taking advantage of a blind girl! What kind of creep are you!?"
"Shut up and help me find the others.", I growl back to her as I try to sense Moka's and Kokoa's monster energies. I sense Tsukune fighting off more Mermen by himself and eventually find Moka and Kokoa together fighting off any Mermen that come near them. "You guys seem to be doing alright. Maybe you don't need to get back to the field after all.", I jokingly remark to them as I crush a Merman under my feet.
"Reiji help! I can't see anything and my head feels like it's about to explode!", Kokoa shouts as she takes out another Merman with her oversized hammer.
"Fine. I'll carry you guys to the hellhounds and you'll help get San back on her feet with the others.", I chuckle to them as I throw their light bodies over my shoulders. I carry them to the field while fighting off more Mermen that get in my way. As I drop them off with the others I say, "Now I'm going to help Tsukune deal with this guy. I'll take only one hellhound just to counter some of his attacks."
Before I leave I see Marin holding San in her arms as she cries over the girl's unconscious body. One of the hellhounds follows me as it howls, allowing me to see everything around me. I see Tsukune about to attack Kanade directly and I send the hellhound rushing over to assist him. Kanade goes for a song attack, but it gets countered by the hellhound's howling.
As he manages to penetrate the Siren's defenses, Tsukune passionately shouts out, "This is for harmony between all monsters and humans!", as he punches him straight in the face, sending Kanade tumbling across the ground.
Did we win? Is he done? "We did it!", Moka exclaims with glee from the protection of the barrier.
"Tsukune beat him!", Kurumu adds in amazement as the boy stands victorious. Tsukune however isn't moving though and Ruby asks, "Wait, is Tsukune okay?"
Tsukune turns and we see he has feathers stabbed through his arm and side. He falls to the ground bleeding as Kanade says, "Feather Cutter, a sword like feather propelled at high speed and one of my final trump cards."
I manage to grab Tsukune and take him over to San and the others. He seems too beaten up to keep fighting and I can't go into my SS class form without revealing to the whole city that monsters exist. "I tell you what. You all have some damn nerve doing this to me. You damn kids, how dare you?! I'll show you the power of the monster closest to God!", Kanade furiously shouts as he transforms into his body continues to morph into a large feathered beast standing on all fours.
"He transformed!?", Mizore gasps in complete disbelief.
"Whatever it is, it's bad! If we take one step back then he'll surely-", Kurumu begins to say before San awakens and stands up on her own.
"San!? You're okay!", Moka shouts with unending shock.
San begins to approach Kanade without any hesitation and Marin calls out to her, shouting, "What are you doing San!? You're already injured! Come back! Come back San!"
Yukari holds Marin back however, telling the frightened woman, "Marin, please stand back! It's dangerous!"
"It's all your fault that I have to use this form, San Otonashi. Because you are a Siren, just as I am. I originally came to scout you out to join our group so that you could help us take down human society. So why are you on the side of the humans? If it had gone as planned then those people behind you would've heard my song and died. Isn't that right? With your song you were able to shield them from harm.", Kanade growls before taking a deep breath, sucking in a great amount of air into his body as he continues to blow up like a giant balloon. "But I'm not going to go easy on you anymore! I'll blow through your protective song! In this form the power of my song is amplified by a huge amount! It changes into something like the explosion of a bomb!", he continues as he continues to draw in even more air. "What will you do? Are you going to pray for your life!?", he menacingly questions her as he finish blowing his body up to a massive size. San simply answers him with a furious glare, which sends the Siren into a complete rage. "Fine then! If you want to die that badly then I'll let you! This is my greatest and loudest killing music!", he shouts as he firmly grasps the ground below him, digging his fingers into the thick woodwork as he prepares to launch his final attack. Before he can launch his attack though, blood starts to pour out from his mouth. "What is this!? What song have you.. My jaw is.. My voice...", he tries to say as blood continues to pour from his mouth like a hellish waterfall.
"I had a little trouble since you're also a Siren, but it looks like you are finally beginning to feel it. My power..", San notes without the slightest hint of emotion in her voice.
She finally spoke!? "You did this!? But your power is only able to protect you.", Kanade furiously growls as he gasps for air.
"No. You only thought that because you couldn't hear my full song.", San explains as she looks down at the weakened fiend without a hint of remorse.
"Full song? So there was a part we couldn't hear?", I mutter to myself in confusion, but it seems like she heard me.
"Yes, it's like the ultrasound of a dolphin. A high pitched tone that your ears cannot detect. It is a strong offensive song that I've been using on him from the start of the battle. That song that you cannot hear has been giving him tiny injuries. Slowly but surely it has been causing his body internal harm. His body is falling apart. He won't be able to sing a second time.", San explains as she turns away from him. "Now please resolve yourself, Kanade Kamiya. You killed Marin's precious husband and stole their pleasant futures. You will taste justice.", San warns the dying man as she walks away from him.
"Don't screw around! As if some kids could beat me!", Kanade shouts as he goes to attack her, throwing his body up as he tries his damnedest to sing his song of death. I go to stop his attack by cutting open his throat, but before I can get anywhere near the bastard San begins to sing her own song that stops him dead in his tracks.
She turns back to him one last time and with an empty glance, she tells him, "I already told you. You're already breaking up. On top of that, you already took Tsukune's attack. It will only be a few more seconds before you collapse completely."
"Sa..save me.", he begs as he falls to his knees, his body crumbling away as his feet start to fade into dust.
She turns away from him again and says, "A song you cannot hear, destruction you cannot see, that is my ability."
Kanade falls to his side and reverts back to his normal form before losing consciousness from the loss of his feet. We're just left in aww by this. A power that can attack you without you even knowing it until it's too late. That could be bothersome.
San walks over to Marin and says, "You were the only one who I didn't want to see in this form. Marin, I wonder what you think. Am I scary?" San continues to walk over to her while picking up a sharp, wooden steak and as she presents the makeshift weapon to the frightened woman, she says, "If you wish to take revenge for your husband that person has been badly beaten up, but I haven't taken his life. If you wish to, you can finish him off. And I, who am a Siren the same as him. If you cannot forgive me, then you can also..."
As she holds out the wooden steak to Marin, San's hand trembles with fear as she averts her eyes from the woman she betrayed, waiting for her death by her hands. But instead of meeting her with hatred and vengeance, Marin gives the girl loving pats to her head as she says, "Silly, what are you talking about, San? It's alright. It's fine. More important than that is the fact that the inn is all destroyed. If you really are thinking about my husband then we better rebuild this place first. I made a promise with you, didn't I? That the two of us would turn this into the number one seaside resort. Won't you build it with me again? Can you help me out San?"
With the woman she cared for so much giving her the love she so desperately needed, San bursts into tears as they embrace each other in a hug and Marin says, "How can I be afraid of you? You, who are so precious to me."
I grab my cellphone from my trunks and as I hold it up to the girls, I say, "I'm going to call Cerbero. He'll take this guy to the Underworld and have him held for questioning. There might even be a small reward in it for you, San."
San looks over to me confused and writes on her notepad, "Who's Cerbero?"
"He's my father so to speak. He's been looking for more information on Fairy Tale and this guy might have what we've all been looking for."
"And the reward?", San writes on her notepad.
"I'm not sure what it'll be. Probably money if I had to guess. And considering how much he wants this information he'll pay you a great deal for this guy.", I explain as I start to call Cerbero on my cellphone.
He picks up instantly and asks, "Reiji, what did you need? Do I have grandchildren yet?"
"First of all, no grandchildren yet. Second, we got a Fairy Tale punk here if you want him. Was there a reward for information on Fairy Tale?", I answer him as I turn my sights back on the Siren's near lifeless body.
"Yes, there is a reward of one million yen for any valuable information pertaining to Fairy Tale. I'll be right there.", he replies before a portal opens up next to us. "Where is this man that you spoke of?", Cerbero continues as he comes through the portal in his battle armor. I point over to Kanade's unconscious body on the ground and the old man lets out a light chuckle. "I see. He's still alive. Good find Reiji.", he complements me with a light pat on the back.
"That wasn't my kill. That was all San's.", I reply as I point over to San, who's still enjoying Marin's warmth.
"Oh, this girl was the one to take down that man then. I thank you San for your assistance. You will be handsomely rewarded for your efforts.", Cerbero says as he hands her a briefcase.
"What's this?", she writes on her notepad, earning a slightly confused glance from the armor-clad man.
"That's your reward, child. One million yen was the reward for this kind of information. If you find anything else out then please let us know. There is more reward money where that came from, so if you happen upon any other information on this man's companions and their whereabouts, please let us know.", he explains before picking up Kanade's bloody body. "This man has taken a remarkable amount of internal damage. I've only seen this kind of damage done by the most advanced Sirens. This is quite the technique, though it's easily negated by advanced regenerative properties like ours Reiji, remember that if you must fight this species.", he worriedly notes before returning through the portal. The portal vanishes and San holds up the briefcase to Marin.
"I wonder if one million yen will be enough to rebuild this whole place.", I chuckle to them, earning a wide-eyed look from the woman.
"I think it'll be more than enough. Now let's go get something to eat.", Marin says with a smile as she wipes away San's tears.
Later, around dusk, we sit on the beach eating watermelon slices. "Isn't this great?! We get to sit out here on the beach and eat watermelon while watching the sunset.", Yukari says as she begins to eat her slice.
"It doesn't matter if you're a human or a monster, everyone likes to eat watermelon.", Marin says as she brings out another large plate of watermelon slices. Mizore grabs a few slices off of the large plate we have and freezes them. "Mizore, what are you doing!?", Marin gasps in confusion by her casual use of her powers.
"I'm freezing some of the watermelon. It makes them taste like sherbert.", Mizore happily replies as she tries one of the frozen slices.
"Really? I want to try one too!", Marin exclaims, fascinated by her ability to make instant ice cream.
"Marin is so skilled, she's easily able to adapt to new things since she runs a hotel.", Yukari says as she continues to eat her slice.
"Isn't that just because of her personality?", Kokoa chuckles with half a slice of watermelon in hand.
I smell the air and as I catch the smell of blood in the air, I ask, "Hey, where's Tsukune?" Tsukune quickly raises his hand while sitting near the bonfire we made, completely fine without a single wound on him, and I can't help but ask, "If that blood smell isn't Tsukune then who is it?"
Suddenly we hear Gin casually ask us, "Hey guys, did I miss anything?"
We turn toward the source of his voice to see a beaten up Gin covered in spots of blood. He looks like he was in a big fight or something. "What took you so long? Did you find that Takahashi guy and get the money back?", I bluntly question him, completely disregarding his stained clothes.
"What? Nah, what would make you think that?!", he nervously asks as he waves me off like I'm crazy.
"I don't know, maybe the blood all over you and the ripped clothes you have on. You're not really good at hiding things from me Gin.", I mock the peanut brained dog boy with a slight glare, but he doesn't seem too phased by it.
"Ah well, while that was going on I happened to run into a friend of mine, right Haiji?", he replies as he turns and points to something.
We turn to see that lolicon Haiji standing there with his karate outfit covered in blood stains. Haiji nervously laughs before saying, "Yes, we had an enjoyable time shopping."
"You're covered in blood too! What do you think we are, some sort of idiots or something!?", Kurumu shouts at the two of them, but they don't seem to care.
Kokoa realizes who he is and as she points at the bastard, she shouts, "Hey, you're that lolicon karate club captain that we beat before!"
He just looks at her with the strange smile and says, "Oh! You're that cute little girl~"
Kokoa is beyond offended by this and shouts, "I'm not a little girl, I'm already 15 years old!"
And as a smug smile comes across his face, he cheerfully tells her, "It doesn't matter if you're 15 or 15,000 years old! The physical growth is what's important."
"Are you trying to say that I'm not physically developed enough huh!? God dammit!", Kokoa continues to shout in her outrage.
The ginger vampire looks like she's ready to kill this man before he says, "Wait, I know this smell." He turns to San and picks her up like a child before saying, "San, I wanted to see you!"
I slap over the back of his head, nearly snapping his neck in the process as I growl, "That isn't how you treat a lady. Now put her down you fucking lolicon."
He reluctantly puts her down and before hiding behind Gin in terror. Marin comes back from the inn with a box and says, "I found some fireworks that I had saved up. You guys want to have some fun?"
We all agree, but when she opens the box and looks through it she says, "Damn, I don't think we have a lighter to light all these with. That's a shame."
"Don't worry, I can generate fire so we're good.", I say as I make a fireball in my hand.
"Wow, really? That's so handy!", she replies as she hands me some sprinklers.
I hand them out to everyone and light them one at a time. Kurumu, Moka, Ruby and Yukari seem to hang around Tsukune while Mizore and I just kind of enjoy playing with our sparklers and watching the others have fun. Kurumu brings me a launcher like thing filled with all kinds of bottle rockets and asks me, "Can you light this while I point it at Gin and Haiji? They were messing with Tsukune." I shrug and wait for her to say when to light it. She nods her head while pointing the launcher at Gin and I light it up. It takes a second for the fuses to burn all the way, but once they do they go flying straight at Gin and Haiji like bullets. Serves them right.
As it gets late we all go to bed in the same room. My sleeping bag is right next to Mizore's and she snuggles next to me even though she's already close to dying from the heat. I wake up to some sort of noise and find that Tsukune and Moka are gone. I poke Mizore until she wakes up and I whisper to her, "Hey, Tsukune and Moka are gone. Let's go find them."
She lazily rubs her eyes and nods before we sneak out to go find them. We don't have to wander very long until we hear Tsukune talking to Moka on the terrace. We ease drop a bit and hear her say, "Monsters and people overlook their different species, and then their hearts can understand one another. I'm sure that we haven't made a wrong decision."
Tsukune seems to agree, giving her a stern nod as he replies with, "Yeah."
After hearing his less than impressive response, I look over to Mizore and whisper, "She says all that and he just says 'Yeah?'"
The ice woman simply shrugs before we continue listening in. We hear Moka say, "Tsukune, can I suck your blood?", and then we hear the sound of something hitting the ground, likely Tsukune. We hear him get back to his feet as she nervously explains to him, "It's just, I'm feeling all excited. Won't we become adults some day too? Reiji and Mizore are already married! Will the rest of the group be able to stay together when we become adults?" There's a moment of awkward silence and she asks him, "Tsukune, can you promise me that you'll do your best to keep everyone together, forever?"
Without a moment of hesitation, he quickly answers her, saying, "I promise."
And I look over to Mizore who is crying a little before telling her, "I think it's time we ruin the party a little."
We start walking towards them and see that they are hugging and Mizore says, "Don't you think you guys would get in trouble if someone saw you like that?"
They jump away from each other like a couple of frightened cats and Tsukune gasps, "Mizore! Reiji! I can explain!"
"You don't have to explain anything to us Tsukune. Let's just head back to bed and we'll say we didn't see anything.", I groan as I wrap my arm around Mizore and pull her close.
"This is a nice view though. Now we better get going before Kurumu wakes up and has a fit with you Moka.", Mizore says we head back inside the inn together.
We all lay back down and Kurumu tries to cuddle with Mizore in her sleep while muttering Tsukune's name. "Oh Kurumu.", Mizore says as she pushes a stray hair out of the Succubus's face. We're able to fall asleep again, even though Kurumu was getting a bit too touchy with Mizore.
The next morning we had all of our stuff packed and ready to get back on the bus to Yokai Academy and as we started to load things onto the bus Marin stops Tsukune and says, "I heard that you were human too Tsukune. I'm impressed! Despite that you're attending an all monster school all for the sake of love!"
"Love!?", Tsukune frantically gasps, unsure of what she knows.
"Don't try and hide it. I've seen the way some of these girls look at you. I wish you luck with finding a way to make them all happy.", she replies with a wink.
"I also found courage from Tsukune's word of harmony. If you ever have need of my power in order to travel down that path, then please call upon me. I will come running to you whenever you need me!", San nervously tells the boy with a slight smile.
I look over to Tsukune with a small grin on my face as I ask, "Do we have another person joining the 'Tsukune Aono Harem?'"
Gin hits Tsukune right in the face with a right hook, shutting him up for a moment as he says, "Alright, that's enough of that. It's about time to leave." He begins to drag Tsukune to the bus before he stops and says, "Oh wait, I almost forgot." He pulls something out of his pocket and says, "I picked this up somewhere, I think it's Marin's. It must've fallen or something."
San takes it over to Marin who says, "This is my bankbook! I thought it had been stolen!"
Gin laughs and says, "Good thing I found it then, huh.", as we all continue onto the bus.
Kurumu and I look at each other and I ask her, "You put this together too, right?"
She nods and says to Gin, "You idiot. You're too easy to read. Is it alright? Not saying anything. You like San, don't you Gin?" He simply smiles while slightly blushing and we get the picture.
We all hear Nekonome shout, "The bus to the academy is leaving!" As the bus finally starts to take off with all of us on it, sadly including that pervert wolf and lolicon Haiji, we look back through the back window to see San and Marin doing something. They're holding up some sort of sign that looked like San's notepad, but much bigger. Across the giant banner, written in San's elegant hand writing, there's a message that says, "Thank you! Come and stay again!" Mizore and the others, including Gin and Haiji, look like they're about to cry. As the bus drives off we wave back to them. Hopefully we get to see them again, under better circumstances of course.
