I think we're very close to the turning point now...
Thanks for review/comments/fave/follows! Love it!
Ayase's residence, living room, early morning;
Nozomi and Arisa sat on the sofa, watching some recent news and movies. Apparently, the murder still going on among the law enforcement, a lot of detectives already jumps in into the cases to solve it but none were able to figure things out. They surfs the channel to look for something more exciting—though they couldn't find anything else.
"You don't have class today?" Nozomi asked as she put down the remote.
"No…. it's going to start at spring…" Arisa replied.
"I see…." Nozomi replied.
"I wonder why Onee-san hasn't wake up yet since yesterday?" Arisa asked.
"Hnn… I'm not sure…." Nozomi pouts.
"Did you two do an unprotected sex?" Arisa asked.
"We never use protection— Ericchi said, we don't need those condoms…"
"Oh…I mean…. hmm... did you two make baby?" Arisa asked again.
"Uhm…well…as for that…" Nozomi smirked wryly.
"You did….." Arisa said.
"N…it….it was an accident…. I really forgot I'm not in the dream world…" Nozomi replied.
Arisa sighed,
"Then Onee-san will need some energy supply soon…. I'll go get some food…" Arisa said.
"Ah—let me do it, I'm her…uhm… girlfriend… I should do it…" Nozomi said.
Arisa sighed again,
"Then you better do it now… don't just leave her there…" Arisa said.
"Tell me though, what's happening here?" Nozomi asked.
"The time when her 'love' and yours unite— it will also the time when hers starting to modify itself to adjust with yours to create a new living. Usually, a succubus will absorb energy from the male if she gets pregnant— but since she plays the male part right now… you got her energy—and will continue to transfer her energy to you until you are done with your pregnancy…."
"That's… very responsible…" Nozomi said.
"Not quite, it just what happen if a succubus play the male role… that's why most are choosing to play the female role… but I guess since Onee-san is a weird one… I can't say anything else…" Arisa said.
"Oh….I see." Nozomi replied.
"But sheesh, Onee-san must be really trusting you to do such… she should've known she isn't incubus…"
"What's the difference?"
"Incubus won't get exhausted from it… when they make someone pregnant…They will absorb their energy— a constant sexual contact will be needed during that period or the pregnant one will die from exhaustion…" Arisa explained.
"Oh… that won't be a problem…."
"I'm sure for someone like you, it won't… but anyway, for your case, I suggest you to stay away from sex or you will kill Onee-san… you know how she is, she is always over working herself…"
"Wh-whaaaaattt?!"
"I'm serious… you really have to stay away from it… which mean, no sex for nine months or so…"
"W-wait! What if she is the one that absorb…? It won't be a problem, right?"
"Can you really hold yourself?"
"I'm sure I can!"
"Then that's going to be up to you… but just a reminder, you're absorbing her energy right now…"
"AhhH! ERICCHI! I'M GOING TO SAVE YOU!" Nozomi yelled before she quickly ran to the bedroom.
Arisa giggled,
"Silly Onee-san….." She smiled before she turned down to look at a red gem and gold chain amulet that she wears.
The clinic, morning;
Umi knocked the door of room number 080 politely before she enters. Then as she enters the room with a bouquet of flower on her hand…
"Hey!" she dropped it and running into the bed— pulling Meg away from the place and slamming her to the ground.
"Umi-chan!" Kotori called her out.
Umi quickly bashed Meg's face with her fist. Her glasses broke and wounded her eyes.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Umi yelled at her.
"Umi-chan! She is just about to pick me up and place me on the wheel chair! Didn't I told you I need them?!" Kotori yelled.
"Oh…" Umi released Meg. Her face already bleeds out— though she remains quiet about it.
"Umi-chan…. you hurt someone again…" Kotori said.
Umi began to feel bad as she woke up and watched Meg standing up quietly.
"Sorry…" Umi said.
Meg didn't respond. She just quietly walks to the nearby mirror and taking care of herself.
"Meg….. I'm… I'm really sorry…" Umi said louder.
"I don't need your sorry— it won't help me taking off these broken glasses…." Meg said.
"I'll replace your glasses…" Umi said.
"I don't need that too… I'm capable to buy another one on my own…" Meg said.
"Then, please forgive me… I was just…. a little panic…" Umi said.
"I already expect that from a half animal like you— so I don't even care anymore…" Meg said.
"Half animal…." Umi said.
"Emotional, Aggressive, and Careless… those are the traits that you all shares despite the differences— even if you're trying your best, you just can't escape from those because it is your instinct… at one point, you all will destroy this society, filling it with your kind…" Meg said.
Kotori noticed that— she knows she agreed to it.
"Humanity is already destroyed by just having you existed…you don't belong to the society anymore... you belong to the wild." Meg said as she started to wash her face.
Umi smirked bitterly at her.
"My-my, Meg, you're being bitter because she punched you on your face… and it actually hurt you…" Lilith said as she came in from the door. She picks up the bouquet of flower and placed it on the vase.
"What do you know about me— you just don't even understand what I actually feel about this…" Meg said.
"But aren't you used with it? You said to me you did…" Lilith said.
Meg bit her lip,
"Besides, for you to talk about feeling and humanity— that's really off character… you have no feeling… you're a psychopath on the loose… and you eat from their flesh…" Lilith said.
Meg clenched her first before she punched the wall very roughly— creating a crack on it.
"Maki-chan won't like that…" Lilith said coldly.
Meg just remained quiet before she storms out of the room. Lilith whistled,
"Now that will keep her away for a moment…" Lilith said.
"That's cruel…Meg really didn't mean to do anything bad… " Kotori said.
"I know— but the closer you are with her, the worse it will be…" Lilith said.
"Are you sure it's fine to let her off with that?" Umi asked.
"She is a psychopath… I tell you…. Don't trust her kindness…" Lilith said.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, she helped Hanayo to get a healing power…from a dryad… then they healed me…. why is she a psychopath?" Kotori said.
"She is lucky that your friend passed the test— else, she will be killed and eaten…" Lilith said.
"She knew that— that's why she didn't let me try…" Kotori said.
"Pffft… sure-sure… she is a good girl— but if I'm you, I'm still not going to trust her… she always has a reason behind that… just stick with your…." Lilith paused as she turned to Umi,
"Body guard… it's a lot safer than to rely on her…" Lilith said.
"It made me really curious about why you're very cold on her… can you tell me something about it?" Umi asked.
"Nope, there's nothing I can tell…" Lilith said.
"Very well…" Umi replied.
"Now, Kotori-chan needs to go for walk? Why not just tell them that you want to go back home? You can do that at this rate…" Lilith said.
"Really?" Kotori asked.
"Yup, and you don't need to freeze your business again… I'll tell Maki-chan you're going to borrow the wheel chair though…." Lilith said.
"Thanks, Lilith-chan…" Kotori said.
"No problem…" Lilith smiled sweetly.
The Apothecary, morning;
Rin and Hanayo already waited for Eve to come out from her station.
"Mmm…I can't wait for it-nya! I wonder how it will feels like! Thanks so much, Kayo-chin!" Rin said.
"Hehe— I'm sure you will like it!" Hanayo said.
"Sorry for the wait…." Eve walk out from her station, carrying an injector and a blood jar.
"I had to check out for something because a wrong place to inject can cause an error… I don't want it happen so I have to look for it again to double check it…" Eve said.
"It's ok-nya!" Rin said.
"I think I'll be ok to go now, turn around and I will—…"
"Excuse me…" Meg cuts in.
"Meg…. What's up?" Eve asked.
"I made a mistake, can I have that blood?" Meg asked.
"What mistake…?" Eve asked.
"I cannot tell you, but please let me have that one…." Meg asked politely.
"Ehh….? But…." Rin sadly said.
"I..I can't let you get a mistake, Rin-chan, let's just give it to her…" Hanayo said.
"Oh— true, it's something that can be fatal anyway-nya!" Rin said.
"I made this with sis, she can't be wrong about it!" Eve said.
"There's still something else I wanted to add… so let me have it and expect me to return after I'm done with it…." Meg said.
Eve smirked,
"Fine…" she handed the blood jar to Meg.
"Thank you for your kind understanding…" Meg said before she turned around and gone quickly…
Rin sighed weakly,
"That's so much for a hype yesterday-nya…." Rin said.
"Yeah, but I believe she will just want to do the best… she is like a big sister anyway!" Hanayo said.
"Yup!" Rin replied.
Eve seems to be surprised to hear it.
"You think she is like a big sister? That's rare to hear…" Eve said.
"Yeah…. She is really guiding and protecting me while I was…there….it's like she is really taking care of me like her younger sister… I think she treats Kotori-chan like that too!"
Eve smiled faintly,
"She just always gets attracted to young girl with cute feature… or at least, child-like…" Eve said.
"Ahh… No wonder she is attracted to Niko-chan too-nya!" Rin said.
"Yeah, she just paid her debt about a while ago… said that a little girl like her shouldn't own a debt… I swear Niko was angry because she was treated like a little kid— but she can't be really upset about it because she paid her debt…" Hanayo said.
"Maki-chan is a little bothered with it though, she said Niko should've suffer more debt-nya…" Rin said.
"I believe she just want to be the one that pay for her…" Hanayo said.
"Ehhh? Really? I don't get rich people sometime-nya…" Rin said.
"More like generous person… I mean, look at my sister, she is rich but super stingy…" Eve said.
"Eh? Lilith-chan is rich-nya?" Rin asked.
"Of course she is, she is a gold digger, a model, a slut and a nurse… four jobs at once make her rich…" Eve said.
"I don't think Gold digger is a job…" Hanayo said.
"It is if she do it in yearly basis… she hasn't got anyone yet right now, but I'm sure she will… she have a hookers instinct that made her somehow able to detect dying lonely old-man… and that's the main target of her to work in this clinic anyway…" Eve said.
"R-really…?" Hanayo flustered.
"I'm serious, you can ask her and she will be very proud of that… she'll be like ohoho yes yes that I am…" Eve replied as she mimic Lilith's accent.
"For a moment there I thought you're her-nya! You two really looks alike!" Rin said.
"You don't say? But anyway… she did all that not because she is lusting for wealth or anything, ok? She did all that because of a specific person… she wanted to make that person happy… she wanted to make that person proud… though if you're looking at it closely, she is just a shame in the ass…" Eve said.
"Eh….uhm…I don't think there's anything that make her shameful, she is still working to get money for someone, right? Not for her own desires…" Hanayo replied.
Eve sighed,
"What's the point of doing that if her feeling in the end never reach that specific someone, she is just torturing herself…" Eve said.
"Then maybe you can help her to tell that to that specific someone-nya? Because you're her twin after all…" Rin said.
Eve remained quiet for a moment,
"Well… No…. she has to fight that on her own… because it will be related to her relationship with that someone…." Eve said.
"It doesn't have to be something direct, right? Maybe like, trying to give her a chance to say it out…" Hanayo said.
Eve remained quiet for a moment again.
"True…." she said weakly.
Eve turned around and she could feel someone coming by…
"Welcome…" Eve said sweetly.
"Ah—Rin-chan! Hanayo-chan! Eve-chan!" greeted that someone.
"Nozomi-chan!" Rin and Hanayo greeted her back.
"What are you two doing here?" Nozomi asked.
"Ehehe..we're just having a little chat-nya!" Rin said.
"And we're planning to look after Kotori-chan too!" Hanayo said.
"Then we're on the same boat…" Nozomi replied.
"Ehh…? Nozomi-chan too-nya?" Rin asked.
"Yup, but I want to get something first before I forgot…" Nozomi replied.
"This is what you want to get, right?" Eve put a package of test-pack on the table.
"Eh?! H-How do you?!" Nozomi surprised.
"W-wait-wait! This is wrong! Nozomi-chan! How do you?!" Hanayo flustered.
"A-ahhh! It's actually happening-nya! Eli-chan is a papa!" Rin said.
"W-whaaaaaaat?!" Hanayo flustered.
Eve smiled proudly.
"H-how do you even know what I'm looking for?!" Nozomi asked.
"I can see the mark on your belly…" Eve said.
"Wh-what? But I'm wearing clothes, right? I didn't forget to wear it today, right?" Nozomi flustered as she checks out her own body.
"Y-You said it like you often forgot— but anyway, Nozomi-san, that's just my special skill… I can see one's special status by looking at a specific mark…" Eve said.
"Oohh! Then I'm glad I'm not somehow showing off my body…" Nozomi said.
"You don't need this test-pack— and don't even need to wait for days too to do it, I can tell you that you're actually pregnant… except you just want to do it for the sake of showing it to your—….." Eve paused
"….lover…." Eve continued.
"You know, I feel awkward… I don't actually want this baby right now… it's too early…" Nozomi replied.
"Then Abort it… I can craft you a medicine to abort it…" Eve said.
"Nooo! This is still going to be Ericchi's child! I'm not going to kill this baby!" Nozomi replied as she touched her own belly.
"Besides, I'm a very healthy mother— and Ericchi is supporting me right now… so I don't want to just dump this away…" Nozomi added again
"Then that would be your choice…but it's not too late, you know." Eve said with a little sigh.
"I…I'm still lost…. Nozomi-chan…. is that really yours and Eli-chan's….?" Hanayo asked.
"Yeah, this baby-to-be really is from Ericchi…" Nozomi said.
"W-whaaat? It's just biologically impossible!" Hanayo said.
Eve giggled,
"There's so many thing possible, Succubus are able to transform their body part partially or fully…" Eve said.
"But Ericchi didn't even transform…"
"That's amazing, but I already expect that from a perfect being like her… But anyway, tell you what, you may be a Chimera and she may be giving you power right now—but your sense will be a lot weaker than ever and your emotion won't be as stable… don't try to use transformation right now… and you will have to rest a lot… it's a vulnerable state… so don't screw up… don't get into a fight... and don't forget to eat properly… the more energy you spend, the weaker you are, the more energy you absorb from her… you don't want to kill her, right?" Eve said.
"This is tough…" Nozomi said in gloom.
"It is, but you're carrying a baby of a Mistress, so you better do it properly… if you have any question, ask me… I'm an expert of cross-breed pregnancy… also in medicine… so I can take care of you…" Eve said.
"Thanks…" Nozomi replied.
They all could feel someone else is coming by, they turned to the direction and…
"Nozo….mi…." that someone called weakly.
"Aahhh! Ericchi! What are you doing here?!" Nozomi quickly ran to her and grab her before she fell on her arm.
"I'm worried— you know, don't just leave me alone…" Eli said weakly.
"H-have you eat your breakfast?! I prepared it at the table!" Nozomi said.
"I did…. But it was very tiring to walk here…" Eli said.
"I told you to just rest!" Nozomi said.
"But you…. You're pregnant, right? I can feel it…"
"I am—but—No! You shouldn't be here! Get back home and rest! You already give me all the support you can give!"
"I…I don't want to leave you alone…."
"Ericchi!"
Nozomi began to scold Eli some more.
Hanayo and Rin flustered.
"Now I wonder which one is actually pregnant-nya…" Rin said.
"That's also a behavior of Succubus… they'll be very protective to the baby… they're supposed to be strong at that state, but since she is not in the right position….." Eve sighed.
"I'm still confused but I can't say anything about this…" Hanayo said.
"Now-now, shouldn't you all go check on Kotori-san?" Eve asked.
"Ah, right, we should… I promised to try again on her legs today!" Hanayo said.
"Yup! Then let's go! Kayo-chin!" Rin said.
"Yup! Let's go!" Hanayo replied before the two ran away.
"Ahhh…I also want to see her… I still want to ask question to her…." Eli said weakly.
"Rest up, Ericchi! Come on, kiss me… take a few energies from me…" Nozomi said before they kissed each other.
Eve rolled her eyes.
"Can you two take your gayness somewhere else?"
The room number 080, afternoon;
Maki, Niko, Umi, Honoka, Rin, Hanayo, and Lilith already present in Kotori's room. Hanayo already attempted to heal Kotori, but she still couldn't stand on her own two feet properly. She still has to sit on the wheelchair.
"Uhh! I can't do it yet! I'll work harder!" Hanayo said.
"Ehe, it's ok Kayo-chan… I'm still good with this, besides, Umi-chan and Honoka-chan supports me…" Kotori said.
"Hnn… I'm really sorry! Uhh! I wish Meg is here to tell me what I should do…" Hanayo said.
"Just practice, you don't need her to tell you anything…" Lilith said.
"Eh?" Hanayo turned to Lilith.
"Really, why are you all trusting her… she isn't that kind… you can't trust her…" Lilith said.
"But….she really did something good…" Hanayo said.
"You're too innocent… she just wants to get closer to people like you because she think it's very amusing to torment people like you…ask her that if you meet her again later… she'll say it…" Lilith said.
"I doubt she will be back any sooner though… considering what happen this morning…" Umi said.
"Yup, she won't— that put me in relieve… it's not too late to stay away from her….ok?" Lilith said.
"Eh….? What with her?"Hanayo asked.
"It just something… but really, once again…. Don't try to get any closer to her… I'm warning you…" Lilith said.
"But she borrowed me life time…" Niko said.
"It just one way to duplicate life time, the more you borrow her life time, the more she gets later in return… as if, once you died, she get twice or more of the life time you borrow…it's a profit for her." Lilith said.
"Is she really that bad-nya?" Rin asked.
Lilith sighed,
"Fine, since you're all keep asking me about it… have you all realized at how cruel her mind is?"
"We know that, but we can't actually disagree with her…" Kotori said.
"Yeah… she may be cruel, but she often states something realistic than ideal… and also something honest than a backstabbing lies…" Hanayo said.
"Then I'll tell you— she used to put those dream of her in a display… in front of a lot of people… that was the thing that made Eli becomes very disgusted by the fact about our kind— as in, changing sexual partner from time to time…or sex and devour play…"
"Isn't that good?" Umi asked.
"It's not! Eli starts to hate herself… she said, it was sick… and she prefer to lives as human… just like what she lives as now! But either way, my point is… she put it on so terribly… she even tortures a human child in her show… she give them a very slow death with all the painful scream… they're crying…begging, and everything…. Even I hate that too…" Lilith said.
"Now you're stating that you really hate looking at crying people…aren't you…?" Maki said.
"Fine! I do! I hate to see someone crying!"
"…and in other words, you're also denying yourself as a succubus…" Niko said with emphasis on 'succubus' word.
"No… I'm enjoying myself as one… I embrace this... I didn't try to deny it… I'm just trying to do it on my own way…." Lilith said.
"Meg used to tell me… being a succubus might be meant to be a parasite to other living, but she wanted to be better than that…." Hanayo said.
"Meg again— she may say that but you never know what is better for her, right? She might be trying to say to be their ruler, to control over other creature… not just parasite.." Lilith said.
"Well…she never say anything about it…" Hanayo said.
"See? Don't trust her… she is one person with twisted mind…" Lilith said.
Everyone awkwardly stare into each other. They wonder if they really should trust her.
After a moment, the door knocked a little loudly but politely,
"Come in!" Kotori said.
Nozomi and Eli came into the room. Eli already looks fit— but for some reason, she still looks a little pale. Lilith noticed it, though she just remained quiet….
"Afternoon, sorry we had to do something first before getting here…" Eli said.
"Ahh! Here comes the new mother and father-nya!" Rin said cheerfully.
"W-what?!" Everyone flustered, Lilith surprised to hear it, her jaw dropped, though she tried to remain calm and quiet to listen further.
"There, Rin-chan! I should be the one who announce it…" Nozomi said.
"Hehe— it can't be helped-nya!" Rin said.
"Wait! Wait! How is that biologically possible?!" Umi asked.
"It's a long explanation, but basically… it just possible…" Nozomi said.
"S-Should we say congratulations?" Maki asked.
"Sure…" Nozomi replied playfully.
"Congratulations!" Everyone said— still with shock and confusion on their face.
"Ha-ha-ha!" Lilith laughed, somehow sounded very awkward.
"Congratulation! My cousin!" Lilith added as she said it with an abnormal big smile.
"T-that's a little scary, are you ok?" Hanayo said.
"Of course! Of course I'm ok! I'll be an aunt to that baby of hers!" Lilith said along with an awkward smile.
"Lilith…?" Eli called her gently.
"Yes, Elichika?" Lilith replied.
"You don't sound ok… is there anything that happen before everything?" Eli said.
"I'm fine! Really! I'm really fine!" Lilith said as she stood up.
"Where you going?" Maki asked.
"Ah, Maki-chan, I'm going to apothecary for a while— I think I forgot something there…" Lilith said with a big smile.
"Alright…." Maki replied.
Lilith quickly stormed out from the room without saying anything else. Eli remained quiet, she knows something is up, but…
Did she get reminded by something, I wonder…?
Eli asked to herself.
I hope she didn't make a fatal mistake…
The Apothecary, afternoon;
Eve still working on her new medicine as the other workers tend the shop, it was all peace until suddenly….
"Eveeeeeeeeee!" Lilith came into her station and hugged her from the back tightly.
"Sis! How the heck you got here?! Why there's no worker that stops you from going here?!" Eve protested, yet she let her twin sister snuggled her face on her back.
"Maybe they just don't see me?" Lilith said.
"Sheesh! Stop sneaking in! You're a trouble!" Eve said.
"I know and I'll continue being your trouble…" Lilith said.
"Ass!"
"You don't mind, right? right?!" Lilith said as she keep snuggling her face on Eve's back.
"Weirdo! Stop rubbing your tears on my clothes!" Eve said.
"What? I'm not crying! I'm really not! It's me drooling on your back…" Lilith said.
"Ewww! Gross!" Eve said— she didn't even try to move her away.
"I'll continue to do this for a while, can I?" Lilith asked.
"Get something to eat, you're pathetic…" Eve said.
"I'm not a glutton like you…" Lilith said.
"Then sex, get one of your boyfriend to sex with you…" Eve said.
"Not in the mood…." Lilith said.
"You? Not in the mood for sex? That's strange, did something crash your head or something?" Eve asked.
"More like, something is tearing my heart apart…." Lilith said.
Eve sighed heavily.
"Is it because they unexpectedly forming an unbreakable bond?"
Lilith remained quiet as she still burrowed her face on her back.
"It's already too late for everything, isn't it? You'll never be able to get between them…." Eve said.
Lilith still quiet…
"…and because it's Eli Ayase… she will never swing another way— because she has sworn to get just one loyal partner for her… and Eli never break her promise…"
"Don't we promise to never use her name in our conversation?" Lilith asked.
"It's already too late… what's the point of hiding it?" Eve said.
"Sheesh, no mercy for a broken heart…?" Lilith replied.
"This is why I told you to just go with Meg, she may be cruel, but she always says the truth and you need it…" Eve said.
"Then, what about you? You're after her….right? You can't lie to me that you like her…."
"Why would you care about me? It's a competition, win or lose it…. and you just totally lost it… because you are too cowards to tell the truth… it's worse than my failure,you know... at least I said it before she completely rejects me." Eve said.
Lilith remained quiet.
"Seriously, sis, you're pathetic… you tell everyone that your name is Ayase Lilith— so that people start thinking that you're her family…but you know that it wasn't the thing you wanted to be… trying to look cool by hooking a lot males isn't going to impress her or anyone, and telling everyone that you're her cousin will never do any better…." Eve said.
Lilith chuckled.
"Isn't it interesting though?" she asked.
"You're just a goofball… you know that? You could've got her— if you tell her earlier…"
"…but at the bright side…. Nozomi-chan is a better bride for her…" Lilith said.
"She is better because you refuse to be the best… she is better because she is willing to change and follow her while you changing yourself to satisfy your own lust without thinking of your own feeling… I don't remember to have a slutty sister who sells out her body around on random male… and I don't remember to have a sis who said she isn't up for a long term relationship…" Eve replied.
Lilith still quiet,
"Because my sis, in fact, really wanted to be in a long relationship— no, an eternal relationship… you're the most loyal and caring person in this world… even better than Meg… you and her will make a perfect match… as perfect as Eli and Nozomi…." Eve continued.
Lilith hugged her tighter…
"Meg saw that in you… and that's why she really wanted you….that's why she trust you… and you know she never lied… and I know you're just pretending to hate her because you want me to have her…but you should've known that you're winning the fight between you and me…. You can have her, I don't want anyone else but you to be with her…"
"It might be already too late for that too, I pissed her off this morning…" Lilith said.
"You did? Great job… now welcome to the forever alone zone…" Eve said sarcastically.
"It can't be helped… she was pissed by Umi's act on her… I can't let anything happen to Elichika's friends…" Lilith said.
"I think I know what's going on… did she get suspected for doing anything to the other? She gets that a lot…" Eve said.
"I know, right? She always got into trouble… like George…" Lilith said.
"Geez…. You don't need to mention his name. It made me feel itchy just to imagine him in school-girl uniform dancing to a random shit…" Eve said.
Lilith giggled,
"We agreed on that…" Lilith said.
"We always agree with each other, goof-head…. You don't need to say that over and over…" Eve replied.
"I just like saying it because I think you're the most comfortable place I can rest my head on…." Lilith said.
"I know… knowing you as an elder sister to me…. and the way we deal with the world before the Ayase family adopt us…that is the only thing I want to be…." Eve replied.
Lilith giggled again before she rubs her face again.
"Thanks, Eve…" Lilith said before she parted away from her.
"Now, what will you do?" Eve asked.
"I'm going to shop for some stuff… then head back here later…" Lilith said.
"Good luck…" Eve said.
Lilith smiled at her.
Unknown Office, Afternoon;
A several police marched in to the door with a box on their hand. They saluted before the leader began to speak,
"Sir! We got another Alpha's heart!" said one of them.
"Good….. I hope this is the alpha that I wanted right now…." a heavy male voice replied.
"No, sir, it just an Alpha Satyr…"
"Satyr? That's not a bad catch… I forgive you…" he said.
The police placed the box on the side.
"Is there any new report on our target?" he asked.
"Yes, sir, we've got a report that the Alpha werewolf is a female this time… but we couldn't track her down because every time she showed herself in our ground— she always close to cleans us up… we can't spy on her too because apparently, she is protected by several peoples— we assume that they're including a few Succubus and Chimeras." The police said.
"Name…" he said.
"Detective Toujou Nozomi, Sir…"
"Search for her…. I want her die— and bring her heart to me….and even if you can't kill her, at least capture her in the cage and send it to our base…"
"Yes sir!"
The police left the room.
Minami's resident, afternoon;
Kotori still on her wheelchair, Umi gently pushing her to get inside the door while Honoka carrying a lot of stuff on her hands.
"Thank you, Umi-chan, Honoka-chan… I really can't do much without you two!" Kotori said.
"Hehe! Don't worry about it!" Honoka replied.
"You've helped me a lot and caused you a lot of trouble as well. I want to do this as a responsibility and a gratitude…" Umi said.
"Yup, because after all, it was caused by us… so we want to say sorry!" Honoka said.
Kotori smiled.
"Yup, that is what I want to hear…" Kotori said.
Umi and Honoka smiled at her.
"Have I told you? The reason why I want to like myself as human, even though they're a lot weaker than the Chimeras…? It was because it fears me to imagine that at one day, human will no longer need each other. Human are made this way because they are made for each other— they're made to make each other perfect… Don't you think it's beautiful when someone say thank you, or sorry because of what they did? Don't you think it's beautiful when someone protected by a stronger force from the evil? Rather than protecting themselves or escaping from trouble on their own?" Kotori said.
"I understand your feeling, Kotori…" Umi said.
"I'm glad you do…. Maki-chan doesn't seem to take a shine on this decision, she said, I could've gone better… but she should've known that if I'm to become one, I'll no longer need you two…and you two will know that I won't need you either…. It scares me to imagine a life without needing you all…."
"Is that why you put yourself in trouble sometime? Just like the time when you bought that specific TV shows off someone?" Umi asked.
"Ahaha, I got caught… but yes…. Seeing how hard you're when you try to solve the case…and to see how Honoka-chan wants to help you out… it makes me feel like I really want to put the world attention to you two… it proved to be success….even though we were screwing up a lot of things during the preparation…."
"We always screw up, but that what makes us strong in the end…" Honoka said.
"I hate to agree with that…." Umi added.
"hehe… I really like the way you two never actually agree with each other but at some points forcing each other to agree with you…. It really feels like prosecutor and attorney….while I'll be the judge…"
"Why are you not the judge for real then?" Umi asked.
"I don't take law study… and I can't judge someone…. Tsubasa-san doing a better job…. I prefer to play more in backstage too anyway… taking care of your clothing and all…." Kotori said.
"But do you think it's fair?" Honoka asked.
"It is, it won't be fair if I did all work…and getting the popularity never feel comfortable for me… I like to be in my own space…" Kotori said.
"Very well…" Umi said.
Kotori giggled,
"Now-now, Umi-chan, Honoka-chan… can you two get me to my room? I need to work on a few paper works that I hasn't done lately…" Kotori said.
"Leave that to us!" Honoka said cheerfully.
Ayase family's residence, night time;
Nozomi resting on the bed next to Eli who has been kissing her and brushing her hands gently on Nozomi's belly. They smiled at each other lovingly as their eyes gazing deeply to each other as well.
"You know what. Nozomi… I already knew that I'll be in this kind of trouble, but I really want you to know how much trust I put in you…"
"It was a mistake, Ericchi, you don't need to be that cheesy…" Nozomi said.
Eli giggled,
"We should get a pizza instead then, see if this was cheesier than it…" Eli said.
"I take Mozzarella Meat lover, jumbo… what about Ericchi…?" Nozomi said.
"Can we add melted dark chocolate on that?"
"Strange choice, but see if they're willing to do it…" Nozomi turned around and she began to pick the phone.
"Order three boxes or so, I doubt we'll be full with one pan…"
"I doubt that too…" Nozomi said as she dials a number.
"We eat a lot, don't you think?"
"That we do…" Nozomi smiled.
Just before she was able to connect the number, someone knocked the door. Nozomi canceled her call,
"Door…." Eli said.
"I'll get it…" Nozomi said before she offered her lips to Eli— letting her to kiss before she falls to sleep again. Nozomi quickly get out to get the door and as she open it….
"Lilith-chan?" Nozomi said.
"Ah! I got you a lot of present!" Lilith said as she brought a lot of bags with her.
"Eh?!" Nozomi surprised.
"Let me in! You don't want these stuffs frozen with the snows, right?" Lilith said.
Ayase's family dining room, night time;
They took all the stuffs Lilith brought with her— they're all equipment for babies and pregnant mother. Nozomi staring at them in confusion, though she couldn't say anything…
"See here? I got you a box of milk, according to the clinic— and Eve, this is the best milk you can get for your pregnancy… then—I have here….." Lilith tried to pull out a new bedcover, it's dark purple with flowery pattern… it looks very mature.
"I'm not sure if it will be a boy or a girl, so I got you a color that present the mystery itself…this is for you— I'll get your baby another later…" Lilith said as she handed it to Nozomi.
"Lilith-chan….this is too much…. Are you sure it's ok?" Nozomi asked.
"I'm very sure it is! After all, you're going to have Elichika's baby… I want you to have the best thing as well…" Lilith smiled sweetly.
Nozomi smiled back at her,
"You're such a caring cousin…" Nozomi said.
Lilith giggled,
"Of course! I'm going to be the pride of Ayase family by showing my caring side to the new bride! You just need to show yourself to her parents and you'll be officially a wife of her…" she said.
"I'm still not sure how it works…?" Nozomi said.
"Well, you already formed an unbreakable bond, unless you will eat your own baby later… but I don't think so, right? You can't be eating your own baby, especially when it comes from the most responsible succubus ever existed… the perfect being that always play hard to get on everyone… Elichika is a mistress too, the baby will be a pride of hers… and you'll be the newest pride of the family as well…" Lilith explained.
"Just meet her parents… talk to them and don't forget to tell her that Elichika choose you to be the one who will give birth to the new generation of Ayase family…. They'll put you in the name list immediately…" Lilith continued as she took out a chewing toy and placed it on the table.
"Oh! Also… if they ever ask about recommendations…tell them, Lilith and Eve Faith support you to become her bride…" Lilith continued again as she placed a small pillow on the table.
"Lilith-chan, how much you spend for all these? I can't just accept these… it's like you're giving me everything I will need…even though my belly isn't even bigger than an inch…so, I want to pay you at least half of it…." Nozomi said.
"What are you saying! In Elichika's current condition, she can't buy you anything! She won't even be able to take you for a walk! You shouldn't move around too much too because you might Kill Elichika from exhaustion if you did…I know how things are going! It will be tough, so I want to take a few burdens off you!" Lilith said.
"But…." Nozomi tried to reason,
"Nope! Not listening! You should accept these as my gift… ok?" Lilith said as she pouts.
Nozomi smiled at her.
"Fine… you win, this time…" Lilith said.
Lilith smiled again,
"I'll take you for a gentle walk tomorrow… if you don't mind…"
"That would be great….we should have Ericchi too though…." Nozomi said.
"Let her rest, it will be awkward if you keep kissing her in front of public… especially with me around you…"
"Good point…" Nozomi said.
"Hmm… we should prepare food for her though… it will help her if she ever wants to do any activity during the morning…" Lilith said.
"Ahhh! I forgot I was about to order a pizza!" Nozomi said.
"Oh! Pizza! Sounds fun! I hope I can join in…" Lilith said.
"You can… but Ericchi is ordering a strange pizza, so…. I suggest you to order new one…" Nozomi said.
"I can't… I promised with someone that I won't be long here…" Lilith said.
"Oh…"
"I'll help you to put arrange everything then I'll go home…" Lilith said.
"Alright then…." Nozomi smiled at her.
The Bathory Laboratory, night time;
It was quiet and cold, the room filled with a lot of jar filled with various preserved hearts with labels on it.
A tall woman working on the desk quietly— her eyes focused on every detail. Suddenly, a big and tall man came by,
"Meg, it's rare to see you here lately…." He said.
"What's your problem…?" she asked coldly.
"Your job is piling up… besides, you have not launched your dearest plan yet until now, what are you waiting for?" He asked.
"I'm waiting for the right time… if we do that too early, it will just be a waste of sources…" Meg said.
"Tsk…Meg." He sighed
"You're being too slow…" he said.
"Better slow but sure than an epic fail…" she replied.
"Bah, nonsense… but anyway, my men got you an alpha satyr heart… will you add that to the list?"
"A Satyr now….Such a greedy man…"
"You'll be proud of me, baby…" he said.
Meg sighed.
"I'm still after the alpha wolf… I really wanted that transformation added to the list as well… a chimera won't be a true chimera without its power… so take your time with it…" he said.
Meg remained quiet.
"It should be a little difficult, the owner of the power is the detective we've been looking for as well… she is very powerful and tricky— it's hard to get her…. Name is Detective Toujou Nozomi…" he continued.
"Toujou Nozomi…..huh?" Meg said.
"You know that person?" He asked.
"It will be a lie if I said I don't know that person…. But I have to tell you— if you ever want her, try to not involve the other people around her…. Else, you'll be screwed up… especially that specific person named Sonoda Umi…" Meg said.
"Sonoda Umi…. Prosecutor Sonoda Umi?" He asked.
"Indeed…"
"…that means, Attorney Kousaka Honoka is her friend too?"
"They're not just friend, they're more like a specific elite group… called µ's…. You often watch them back then…."
"Wow… this is a good coincidence…" he said.
"There's also Kotori Minami, Koizumi Hanayo, Hoshizora Rin, Yazawa Niko, Nishikino Maki, and the person you really need to be aware of is Ayase Eli…" Meg said.
"Ayase Eli? I think I've heard that name before…"
"You should fear her… she is the lover of Toujou Nozomi… if she knew you're trying to harm her lady… I have nothing to say again but a farewell…"
"For you to say that… it makes me think this Ayase Eli is indeed a strong person…"
"She is my cousin… a mistress to be… some people calls her Elichika..."
"Elichika?! Then… that person is….."
Meg smiled mischievously,
"I suppose you already know the rest of story…"
She said as she fixes her glasses.
"Interesting…. Very interesting…" he said before he left immediately.
Meg chuckled,
"….Good luck, Eli…."
The Ayase family's residence, night time;
Lilith just left the door after everything she done for Nozomi.
"Thanks so much for today, Lilith-chan! It really is a big help!" Nozomi said.
"Yup! No problem, Nozomi-chan! I'll see you early morning tomorrow!" Lilith said.
"Sure… I'll prepare a breakfast for you too!" Nozomi said.
"Bye-bye!" Lilith said sweetly before she ran off. Nozomi watched her running away before she is gone from her sight. She smiled softly before she closed the door.
At the other side, Lilith hiding behind a wall and she sighed heavily.
"I did it…." Lilith mumbled.
"Congratulations… it's four hours and thirty six minutes…" Eve said— she has been waiting her all the time.
"That's pretty good, right?" Lilith said.
"That's not a short time, sis…" Eve said.
"Eh? It is for me… I should've spends like 24 hours with the baby…" Lilith said.
"You're not the mother…." Eve said.
"I know, sheesh! You don't need to tell me that all the time! How cruel of you!" Lilith said.
Eve sighed,
"You know, I think at this point, Maki-chan will say, the hell is that, I don't get it…" Eve said as she mimic Maki's accent.
Lilith chuckled.
"Overall, I think what I done is something very stupid, but I really enjoy it… I bet Elichika will be very happy and proud of me too!" Lilith said.
Eve rolled her eyes.
"More like, you're just a stubborn who doesn't want to admit defeat yet never want to do anything to actually win something… then making excuses to cover your pain of losing…" Eve said.
Lilith giggled,
"Ahh…. I'm so glad to be able to take care of her! Let's go home and come back here tomorrow, ok?" Lilith said.
Eve smirked,
"Alright… whatever you wish…as long you're not taking me to the brothel in our way home."
"How do you read my mind?!" Lilith said.
"Sis… you can't be serious…."
"Sex Tournament tonight! Who gets more men, win!"
"I'm out… go do that yourself…" Eve kicked Lilith away from her.
"I'm joking, Eve! I'm joking!" Lilith tried to grab Eve.
"Get off me!" Eve shoved her away.
"Eveeeeeeeeeeee!" Lilith jumps at her and clings herself close.
Eve sighed again before she just gave up on trying to gets her away and the twin walks away home.
There...
Hope you enjoy this...
You can still try to guess this and that~ I know I've made a few clear hints over here.
