Chapter 11
"Alright then, I guess we're good with the theme then?" Rika asks
"Yep~" Sera said happily.
"Hm I guess." Zeru said, who just wanted to get it over with.
"Yeah…" Gin said with less enthusiasm since he was taking a picture of a male included.
"Alright then first one…The butler watches the Mahou-shoujou-sama go off on her job.
And with that a picture was taken as the Mahou-Shoujou ran out of the house as the Butler rubbed his face in disappointment.
"Next. The Butler helps straighten out her outfit."
The next picture had him with a 'What would you do without me' look, as had his hand on her hat, in a pose of adjusting it.
"Alright, net one is The butler shows his irritation at the Mahou-Shoujou's duties."
Zeru sighed trying to hide his intention of leaving as soon as possible, but the reward of having the Celty's helmet was his light that slashed through the darkness and allowed him to persevere.
"Ojou-sama…"
Sera then turned around and immediately started to have gossebumps. The butler cosplayer was smiling, in a somewhat devilish manner that was close to a certain friend she knew.
"Y Yes…"she said in slight frightened tone.
"Ojou-sama, while I do support your actions of trying to help others in need. But I do wish that you would stop once in awhile and continue to your regular life instead of this." He said politly giving off a scary attitude.
"Ooooh, he added dialogue to get into character." Rika mused seeing how well he acted.
FLASH
"Alright then the Mahou Shoujou pouts at the strict no fun butler."
With that, he was being pouted by the Mahou Shoujou cosplayer, which made her look more child-like.
And afther about half an hour, it was break.
"Wow, that was fun, you did great Zeru-tan~"
"Thank you, Sera-san."
"Neh, Zeru-tan if you're interested do you want try being in my show?"
"No, I'm not into stuff like show business."
"But it's fun~"
Zeru swallowed trying to hold back his urge to thoroughly retort on the reason of why he wouldn't want to be interested in show business, minus his irritation to devils.
"Just not interested."
Sera had a look of disappointment. Seeing that look, Zeru was still holding his urge to express his annoyance.
"Rika-san how many photos do we have to take?" he asks
"Right now we're just doing drafts to see how the pictures look and Sera-chan's debut as one of our cosplayers."
"I see. I think we should focus more on Sera-san now, since Gin isnt' looking so well" he pointed out showing the young photographer who had a sickened expression of disgust of taking pictures of a male. It's not that he dislikes that the subject he has to photograph is male, he just doesn't want to add more effort on them such as focusing on adding their visual appeal and etc. It's just that working with female subjects makes him more hype.
"Hm, I guess you're right. Zeru take five. Sera-chan, we're gonna do some one on one sessions now."
"Okay~"
As he was walking through the hallway, his phone ranged.
"Hello?"
"YOU BASTARD!"
"…Who is this?" he asks not sure who this loud toned person that sounded like he was going get killed by that person.
"It's me!" said the person with a decreased volume at 20 percent.
"Oh, Hey Rossweisse how's your break?"
"Break? Hahahahahahhahahaha." She laughed in a tone that sounded like she was now slowly breaking into madness, as if something had affected her
"Rossweisse?" he said, now sweating.
"Hahaha…No this isn't even break, it's more like torture."
" I Is that right?"
"Quite indeed and you know what I'm going through now?" she said in an ominous tone, making him fear what he'll say that will invoke her wrath.
"Uh your grandmother is giving you a lecture?"
"Lecuture? Hah! Oh no no no no, I've done with her lectures and I can handle those pretty well already. What she's teaching me is…."
The call ended, which left a cold chill through his spine.
Meanwhile in the Basement of Gondur's home.
"Granny? Are you sure that was necessary?" she asks.
"Of course, we have to make sure if whenever you talk in that tone your man will be quivering in their pants and will be easy to manipulate. Isn't that right dear?"
"…." The grandfather was sitting in a corner in fetal position, and his face had a look of terror, as if death had come before him.
"Is grandpa, going to be okay?"
"Oh sure, he'll be fine in about 2 hours since I did use illusions to add more intimdation."
"Wait when did you use magic?"
"Well when the man, is already intimidated by the anger you can add a alittle juice to it to make him really quiver. For magicians like Zeru, his fear would disrupt his magical senses. Thereby allowing you to cast a spell without him being aware of the cast activation and the miasma radiation."
"…Is grandpa really going to be okay?"
"Like I said don't worry, I done this to him a couple of times when we started dating."
"You were kidding about showing me M-rated stuff right?"
"Oh don't worry, you won't see me and your granddad doing it."
Rossweisse sighed in relief.
"We're just gonna watch some films for that, while I explain you some methods of how to do them better. Then will see what happens next. But what the heck, it's way easier to get a first-hand experience at seeing the real thing, thanks for the suggestion kiddo." She patted her head.
With that her joy was viscously crushed and was now filled with a new void for the deposit of knowledge she will obtain and has started to make plans for therapy.
"Well that takes care one of the methods of weakening a Man. Let's take a break." She said as the two asgardian females left while the Male Asgardian was busy trying to recover from the flashbacks he was now experiencing of how his wife acted like this before they were married.
Back to Midgard.
"Hey Gin."
"Yeah?"
"When a girl speaks in a tone as if they're broken near to insanity, are my chances of death increasing?"
"Be more specific."
"Well it's like she was going through some rough stuff right now and..."
"Ah, that's the tone they use when you should really be careful of what you say to them, since the mood will vary with her."
"Okay…"
"Or it can be used for the girl's advantage."
"Say whaa?"
"Yeah, sometimes girls pretend to act all angry and stuff, so they'll be able to decrease your morale and have your mind in dissary worrying of what they'll do in that state of mind they're in now. By that they'll be able make you more agreeable to their suggestions."
"In other words, manipulation?"
"When you put that way, yes."
"I see."
At first he thought she was only in a bad mood that her grandmother was stressing her out. But now he's worried about whether Rossweise was capable of being two sided and manipulative.
"My advice, don't think too much on it and go with what life brings you."
"How many lives do we have when dealing with women?"
"Well since, I've been on dates and I'm a werewolf, I got like 10 lives. You for being a noob when dealing with a relationship and a human , you got like 3 for starters."
"First of all not in a relationship."
"Oh, yeah you're in a love triangle, so you got a life to spare for each of them."
"…What love triangle?"
"…Oh dear, to be young and naïve again." He said with pity at his friend's future at what life would bring him.
"So how is she?"
"You mean Sera-chan? She's super cute."
"Not that…"
"Oh, you can sense miasma now?"
"I can only feel the sensation, I can only see blurs."
"Well it's not that bothersome, but I guess for a first timer like you, it's sort of like a new found air in a different atomosphere. But geez, ease up on her. Even if she is a devil."
"I will after I'm done with this."
"Well, what's most important is that you finally start dealing females now. By the way keep going with your snarky, info breaker thing, you're gonna get less lives."
"Thanks for the advice."
"So, what are you gonna do when you get to Kuoh?"
"Don't know but I know won't be able to do much. Since right it seems we might end up being tested to see if us boys are suitable for Kuoh going to coed. So my chances of going info breaking will be lowered. So might end up being a regular student. Sigh, normality is overrated."
"So that means you interested in joining the Photography club?"
"Do you think that Club would be left empty for you to take over easily? There will be some of the female senpais that would still be apart of the club and the possible increase of female members as well."
"Hm good point, guess I can become the president of the club when we reach our second or third year."
"So what now?"
"Well, then you can do some side jobs for me."
"No way."
"Hey, you're the guy that can do accurate pinpoint shooting, especially what you did when you took pic of those girls from the various clubs during middle school."
"Hey, I was interested in profit and I was slowly trying to adapt into Info Breaking. Plus I can't help it when I found out how much us males are willing to pay for erotic pics of our own fellow female classmates. Hm, can never find good unrequited love people, just stalkers with obsessions. So sorry, since Kuoh Academy is a private school, I ain't risking my life for that. I can just do casual snap shots of others doing regular activities. But I ain't risking for taking pics based on requests of a person's eroctism and fetishes."
"Fine."
"Alright, Zeru-kun, ready for the next theme?" Rika asks.
"What is it?"
"The Mahou-Shoujou sama aids the ill butler."
"What do I have to wear?"
"Pajamas."
"What's my mindset?"
"The reluctant type of excepting help from the person that they've served whose childish."
"So trying to add like a tsundere vibe? Cause you know I ain't good with that much, since later I'll end up laughing at how funny it is to be tsundere. But since she's devil, I can get my stubborn on."
"Hm, not sure, depends if it's popular when the pics are seen by the fans. Besides it looks like you're inner tsundere is slowly awakening."
"Fine…But I don't have an inner tsundere, just agitation of certain people."
Later the next setting was in a bedroom of the studio used for certain cosplay themes.
Zeru was wearing black pajamas was sitting up on a bed with an expression of exhaustion with a small folded towel on his forehead. Sera, was wearing a nurse outfit, trying to give him his medicine.
FLASH
She then forcibly thrust the small cup to his mouth, making chug the medicine.
FLASH
The next was him being fed by the nurse.
FLASH
Next was him trying to get out of bed, but was drowsy so the nurse had to help him by lending him her shoulder.
FLASH
Next picture was the nurse getting her head gripped by the annoyed ill butler.
FLASH.
Another picture was the nurse placing her forehead against the butler's trying to check his temperature. While the Butler had an annoyed expression at the lack of use of a thermometer.
As Sera placed her forehead on his, he felt even more annoyed as he was grinding his teeth. Sera on the other hand was having fun, but did kind of wish the theme had the butler more of a mellow attitude
After about more pictures were taken.
"Alright we're done." Proclaimed Rika, after looking through the pictures taken so far.
Zeru sighed in relief that the nusicance was over.
"That was fun, wasn't it Zeru-tan."
"Yes, it was entertaining. (Can I go now?)" he said trying to hold down his disgust.
"Okay, I'll post these soon and will see how the fans think about your debut."
"Okay~"
Suddenly a magic circle appeared in her palm.
"Hello?" she held the circle near her ear.
Sera the nodded at the caller and had a childish pouty face. After that the circle dispersed.
"Aw, seems I have to head back to work." She moped.
"Well an adult can't always have the leisure to do whatever they want. I'm heading out now." Zeru said.
"Aw don't worry, Sera-chan will make sure to arrange more photo shoots." Rika assured her making Sera smile.
"Neh, Zeru-tan."
"What? (OH COME ON LEAVE ALONE ALREADY! I HAVE A LIFE!)"
"Next time, do you think we can work together again?"
"Why is that?"
"Cause I want to see you happy when you're a different character~"
"That is something that I won't be doing very often, due to my status a student."
Serafall then had a look of disappointment.
"Oh come now, don't' be like that." Rika teased.
Knowing things won't get anywhere like this, he'll have to just endure it.
"I wouldn't mind doing that, but it depends on my availability, since I am a very person.
Serafall then smiled.
"Okay then~ Well I'll have to go now, see you all later~" she did a pose as she teleported away.
"Now if you would all excuse me, I need to go meet up with my friend."
"Good luck with your possible summer romances." Rika cheered.
"It ain't happening." Zeru retorted
"Remember man, you only got three lives don't waste em and make sure to call me for more advice. You're still young in the new world of man." Gin said
"I'll make sure to do that." He waved goodbye and left
Usagi Café.
As he headed upstairs to the VIP room, which was one of the personal rooms used for people that want privacy with the bunnies.
"Yo, Chibiske."
"Neko-Baka kun."
He then sat next to Rukia, who had a bunny on her lap.
"You looked like you had it rough."
"Sigh, I just worked with the most childish adult in the entirety of the existence of this universe and a devil." He said rubbing his face in exhaustion.
Suddenly something was on his lap.
"Hm?"
He then noticed a brown bunny on his lap. As he pet the bunny he felt a warm soft sensation as if he was petting a cloud.
"Seeee? Aren't they cute?" Rukia nuzzled the bunny against her cheek.
Seeing her enjoying with the usage, he wouldn't admit it but she did look cute. As he stared back at the bunny, looking carefully at it's petite face, how it's big ears seemed to give it a slight boost in cuteness, and how it's soft fur and body was similar to that of a kittens'.
"Hmph, the only reason why I sometimes dislike usagis is because of how annoying your hype for them is. I would say they're decently cute."
"Kay then." Suddenly a flash was shined on him.
"What the?"
"Hm I guess I can caption this pic, 'Sebas-chan, loves Usagis also.'"
"Don't you dare! Sebastian Michalis is a lover of Nekos and it will stay that way!"
"Really, cause your little hair style right now isn't going to help prove it."
"Give me the phone." He said with venom in his tone.
"Do you want to start a fight in front of these innocent creatures." She lifted the bunny in front of him, who had it's ears down with a fearful expression at the violent vibe he was giving off.
"Are you willing to use that thing, as a shield."
"Heavens no, I'm just trying test of the cuteness of this little fella would affect you."
"Well nice try but… I …. Uh…will…not falter and…" as he tried to form a fist, his hand was shaking making it difficult for him to maintain his fist.
Starring at the bunny, guilt was pouring down his heart decreasing his morale.
"GAAH!" he punched his fist to the ground in defeat.
"Usagi-1 Neko baka- 0" Rukia declared.
"Shut it!"
"Language!" she covered the ears of the bunny.
"Bleeeeh~" he stuck his tongue out.
"Ara~ Now this is amusing."
The two turned to see a girl with long black hair, which reached her back along with the front showing more of her forehead, petite body, and wearing a sundress.
"Mayumi…" Rukia groaned.
"Ufufu~ I was going to check this café and call you later so we can hangout. But to think you would be spending your time here with someone handsome especially." She said with a hint of mischief.
"It's not like that." She gritted her teeth in annoyance of her friend.
"What's not like what? I'll I'm implying is that it's surprising to see you with a good-looking male such as him."
"Aaaw~ Thank you~" he thanked Mayumi.
"You're welcome. Ah, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Saegusa Mayumi."
"Hyoudou Zeru. It's a pleasure to meet you to Saegusa-san."
"Hm Zeru…Zeru…Zeru…Ah. So this is Bedwetter-kun." Mayumi said in realization of the person her friend talked about.
"Guh." Suddenly giant words spelling bed wetter fell on top of him.
Mayumi giggled at his comical action.
"Why do you have to tell her that?" He sighed, at Rukia.
"Hey, if you got to know her more she can get pretty nosy like a child."
"Oh, yeah I can see that. Using that bedwetting thing should be enough."
"And I did explained about our childish complex agitation somewhat friendship."
"Good."
Zeru the walked towards, Mayumi and began to observe her.
"Hmm." He starred at her with extreme focus.
"Hm?" Mayumi had a curious look of what was in his mind, as he stared at her.
"Wow, you really have a good figure." He commented.
"Eh? Thank you?" she said with uncertainty based on what he's really trying to imply.
"I can see why you're nicknamed the Eleven Sniper."
"Oh really? Why is it?" Mayumi smilled.
Rukia had Goosebumps, sensing the familiar malicious intent radiating from her friend. There is one thing that people should be wary of is to never treat her like a child due to her appearance. The last student that ever did that was a senpai and he ended up missing a weak of school due to some special Valentines Day chocolates.
As much as she wanted to see Zeru feel the wrath of her friend, it would be hysterical. But since it's summer it's best for him not to deal with it yet. In the end it depends on what he says that won't irk her.
"Your beautiful figure."
"Oh? What is it that makes think my figure suits my title as an elf?"
"Hmm. Let's see your obvious petite figure and your beauty. But then again I don't Elven Sniper suits you."
"Oh and what would that be?"
"Cupid."
"Hah?" Rukia jaw dropped at the title.
Zeru then knelt down on his knee and held Mayumi's hand and just as he was about to lean in close to the hand.
"AAAHH! GET AWAY FROM MY ONEE-CHAN YOU SKIRT CHASTER!"
A loud shriek was heard causing all the bunny to scatter around the room and some leaving the room to get in safe distance from the person that shrieked.
While he was entranced by Mayumi's beauty, suddenly the sight of the young beauty became a blurr as he was suddenly pushed to the side,
"Kasumi-chan?!" Mayumi raised her voice slightly in surprise at her younger sister's action.
"And stay away from her Skirt-Chaser." She huffed in satisfaction thinking that she had managed to save her elder sister from the Skirt-Chaser.
"Ugh, what hit me?" he sighed sitting up.
Rukia then sighed, as she reluctantly decided check on him.
"You okay?"
"Yeah I guess, so what hit me?"
"A protective little sister."
"Really? Wow that's a first besides the otouto ones…"
"You didn't hear the loud scream?"
"Nah, was entranced by Saegusa-san's beauty, everything was nothing he said casually."
"…" Rukia had an unamused look.
As he stood back up and walked to Mayumi…
"Hmph!"
The protective imoutou wall was activated as Kasumi was standing in front of Mayumi with her arms wide opened in defense against the Skirt Chaser menace.
"Hm, this is a conundrum." He mused.
"Back off." Kasumi glared at him.
Suddenly another girl came walking to him.
"Ahno…"
"Hm, is there something you want to say?" he asked the girl.
"Izumi! Get away from him he's a Skirt-Chaser!" Kasumi warned the girl named Izumi.
Kasumi then brought out her hand as it began to glow and.
"Settle down." Mayumi put her fist fall on top of Kasumi's head.
"Itai~ Onee-chan! Why'd you do that?" she groaned in pain rubbing her head.
"What day I say about using magic?"
"But he was doing something indecent with you Onee-chan." She retorted to prove her reason
"Indecent?" Mayumi said, still not understanding her reason.
"Yeah and now he's after Izumi!" she pointed at Zeru.
"I see, your twin sister huh. I can see the resemblance." He chuckled as he was conversing with the younger twin.
Izumi nodded shyly.
He then looked back and forth at the twin sisters, he could see they were identical based on their same green eyes, brown hair minus the different styles they have, while Kasumi had bob like hair style with two ribbons and Izumi's hair style wasstraight bob that went to her shoulders and bangs that reach her eyebrows.
He could see that the two are complete opposites with each other despite identical appearances. Based on the violent attitude Kasumi displayed, she seemed to be tomboy and Izumi seems to be the more calm of the two but seems to be an indoor-type person based on her soft tone of speech and shyness.
"I'm sorry for the trouble my sister caused for you." She bowed in apology.
He then pats her head in assurance that no harm was done.
"It's alright, don't worry about it."
Izumi blushed.
"Ahno… Are you Saki Photography's. …Sebas-chan?!" she asked in a tone similar to a hyped fangirl but slightly softer due to her shyness.
Zeru smiled at the fan, as he knelt down onto his knee.
"Yes, I am the Studio's Sebastain Michalis cosplayer. At your service, Ojou-sama." He kissed her hand.
"Kyaa." She squealed in a low pitch in excitment.
"Grrr." Kasumi gritted her teeth in anger as Mayumi was gripping on her shoulders tight holding her back.
"Well then Saequsa Kasumi-san. What was that made it look like I was indecent with your Onee-sama." He asked her now standing in front of her starring down at her.
Kasumi then began to tense over the lingering form of the older teen and began to feel intimidated at the presence of him which was similar that to her older sister's when she's about to lecture her.
"Well you were going to kiss her hand and looking all ecchi at her!" she retorted.
"Oh? Is that it? Hm, well a hand kiss isn't sign of being indecent since it's basically a greeting kiss to show my admiration towards your sister."
"Eh?" Mayumi blushed at hearing the word admiration.
Izumi covered her mouth in holding in her ship moment and the possibility of having an Onii-sama."
Kasumi's rage was igniting.
"It was your sister's fault for showing off her beauty like that, causing me to do such an action that would cause you to react like that. With that I apologize."
"Eh?" Kasumi was surprised at the supposed Skirt-Chaser's apology.
"So Saegusa-san, what do you have to say?" he turned to Mayumi with an innocent expression.
"What? The fact that you allowed your horomones take over and cause the misunderstanding?" she smirked.
"Oh hohoho, don't try to bring this back to me. It was clearly your fault that this happened."
"No no, the male is always responsible for their actions. So please take your responsibilities like a man."
"No no no, as a young women belonging to the prestigious clan, Saegusa and as the heiress you should at least show a good example of a responsible women for your younger sisters. Also I'm technically a child inside so that term doesn't apply to me."
"Jokes on you, I'm technically not the heir yet. So I don't need to show off such level of maturity." Mayumi smirked with victory.
"Really now... Then…."
"Will you quit it already." Rukia said with irritation.
"Ow!" the two yelled in union after reciving both fists on top of their heads.
"Geez, you two are ruining this place already, look some of the bunnies are gone because of this incident." She pointed out at how barren the room was now.
Asgard.
"Alright, since your grandfather, is pretty much worn out from the other lessons and how he's gotten rusty since he's been doing Odin's paper work. Guess this leaves the demonstration of intercourse isn't going to happen.
The grandfather and granddaughter sighed in relief.
"But at least, I'll show you how to relieve a man from stress."
The grandfather had a shock look at the outrageousness of his wife.
Rossweisse was trying to understand what she meant by that specifically, but then as she remembered reading some adult literature with her cousin/roommate….
"!" Rossweisse's cheek flushed red, as she looked like she won't be able to mentally handle at whats to come now.
"Kay then." Gondur then casted a magic circle that stretched undereneath to both herself and her husband, causing their current forms to be much younger around their mid thirties.
"!" Rossweisse couldn't believe what's going.
"If I were to show you the lesson, in our current form. Then it would totally gross you out. So that's why I made your granddad and myself younger. So you'll be less traumatized.
"(THAT'S NOT HELPING AT ALL! I'M GONNA HAVE TO SEE A THERPIST AFTER THIS! OR WORSE GO TO HEL AND ASK HEL-SAMA TO REINCARNATE ME TO A DIFFERENT FAMILY!)"
"Alright then, time to whip it out dear~" she then kneeled down to him as she began to undo his pants, as the old man struggled to break out of his wife's paralysis spell..
Rossweisse tried to look away but a magic circle appeared underneath her, which caused her body to froze statue like, making her unable to close her eyes.
"You're gonna need to see this and make sure to take notes. be grateful that I didn't take you to Freyja she would've scared your mind with a lot of ero." She said knowing how erotic the Norse Goddess of Love can be.
With that the trauma had commenced.
Midgard
After an apology for the owner for causing the ruckus and suffering rumors of a young dashing gigolo was the one that caused it…
"So where's mommy?" Rukia teased Mayumi
"Rukia, Mari isn't my mom!" she pouted.
"Oh come on you two are always together and you're like the bratty kid and she's the serious one that reprimands you."
Mayumi pouted at Rukia.
Izumi was smiling brightly as she stared at her phone now having a picture of her with one of her favorite cosplayers.
"So besides being Bedwetter-kun, you're Maeda Academy's Basketball Club's PG nicknamed Devil Boy. Hm, I thought you looked familiar minus your hair the way it is."
"Well, I prefer if you were to forget that first detail."
"Ara~ I'm sorry, it's just that whenever I ask Rukia about you when you two lived at the Orphanage that's the only thing I get."
"Well maybe she can better explain about me if you toned down your eagerness. It makes your presence overwhelming."
"I just wanted to get to know my new friend."
"Wait so when did she meet you?"
"4th grade."
"Makes sense, at that age, you can be annoying to her."
Mayumi playfully stuck her tongue at him.
"So Rukia, if you even want to... Do you mind help me out with my Kido after this?"
"Oh aren't you such cute wittle thing~" Rukia patted the bunny's head.
"Well then, I guess I'll just ask her when she's out of her other world in her head. He said, deciding to allow her to have a break.
"Ufufu~"
"What?"
"Hm, despite the seemingly antagonistic relationship you two suppose to have, you two seem to be getting along well."
"Well we were kids that have antagonism with one another because of our likes for different animals."
"Really now. So are you liking rabbits too now?"
"Hmph. Not much, but will say they're decently appealing." He rubbed the bunny's cheek
"Really? I could say the same thing to you." Rukia said smiling at the bunny.
"Not offended cause I'm a 7 out of 10. By the way who's this Mari?"
"Watanabe Mari. She was our school's Disipline committee, chairman."
Hearing that name, he slightly paused for a bit and a sudden realization of who that person was.
"...I see, make sense that she's the serious one due to her handling of mischievous students."
"Well, I was the Student Council President."
"And that makes it more worse, like giving a child a loaded gun not switched to the safety on."
A tick mark began to form on Mayumi's forehead at irritation of the teasing.
"So was Rukia apart of any clubs?"
"Well she did signed up for the Art Club was rejected."
"…Lemme guess it was her chibi bunny drawings?" he sighed.
Mayumi nodded.
"Those people didn't understand art if it hit them."
"Uh, you threw your sketch book at me and yet I still don't understand you art."
"I think Rukia-nee chan's drawings are cute." Izumi added.
"Thank you, Izumi-chan. I'm glad to see someone has an appreciation in art." Rukia smiled.
Zeru turned to Izumi with a concern for her artistic taste.
then motioned him to come closer, as his ear was near her mouth to whisper.
"I think Rukia-nee chan's chibi style is cute, but she sometimes she need to shift to a different style of art."
Zeru smiled and patted her head that her mind didn't get messed up in the head of her taste in art.
There was a fangirl scream at double times the regular volume echoing inside her.
Feeling some hostility again, he turned to see the still antagonistic other twin sister Kasumi.
"Hm?"
"What?"
"So can we call it a truce?"
"Not sure, you're still sleazy."
"…Ouch." He felt the pain of her words.
"Don't worry, she'll get used to you." Mayumi assured.
"Oh I know, I was once in that phase too."
"Really? You were in a phase where you called other people Skirt-Chasers?" she teased.
"Nooooo. I was referring to how we always judge a book by its cover."
"I see. So if Kasumi-chan were to look in your contents, her opinion of you would change?" she asks in a sly voice.
Zeru realized what she meant.
"Oh no that section is Rated M. So she might need an adult to assist her with that" he chuckled.
"Oh my that is true. Ufufu. So do you want to finish your little explanation of why I should, be called Cupid instead of elf?"
"Why are you interested in that?"
"Just curious."
"Hm, I guess cause you seem to have a knack for shooting down my heart."
"Oh, so you say that I've stricken your heart?"
Kasumi began to grind her teeth seething with anger, while Izumi was holding her squeal that the chances of having a Butler Cosplayer Onii-sama are high now. Rukia for some reason was confused with the weird feeling in her stomach seeing Mayumi and Zeru getting friendly with one another.
"Truth be told, if we were in the same school. Perhaps there was a chance my heart would've been severed by your arrows and I would attempt to claim you as my own."
"Ara~ Such a compliment, I bet you said that to other girls not from your school."
"The chances of that happening are low, since meeting you my heart has started to beat as if it resonated to something that was once apart of it." He then held her hand.
Mayumi's eyes widened in surprise, as she brought her hand and caressed his face.
"After all these years… the cruelty of being torn by the whims of fate…"
"…We are finally reunited once again…" he said with tears began to form from his eyes.
Rukia's jaw dropped, at what the hell was even going on while the bunny dropped to her lap. Izumi was holding in her squeals that her ship was sailing and also loved the possibility that the two were past lovers torn by cruel fate and now in their present lives they are reunited again.
But then…
"GET AWAY FROM HER SKIRT-CHASER!"Kasumi immediately ran in and jump kicked his cheek.
"GAH!" once again pain was received again.
"Ara~ Looks like I won~" Mayumi declared.
"Aw, no no no no. I was the one that was winning!" he retorted.
"Oh and who was it that was leaning in closer?" Mayumi teased.
"Hey, that from your perspective! I was leaning in slowly, making sure that I was outside of your breathing radius. That way I can set the bait."He retorted
"Well Kasumi-chan was the judge, so you were disqualified, for leaning in too close~" she declared her victory.
"Hmph~ No fair using your imoutou as reinforcements." He pouted.
"What was that about, really?" Rukia rubbed her temple.
"We got carried away with our fun~" the two answered in union, happily.
"Really? Is that how it went?" Rukia said not believing.
"Yes, at first it was just some easy teasing but it seems we got into each others nerves." Zeru explained
"So we decided to go a different route." Mayumi added.
"Yep, unfortunately the last part was my fault since I was entranced by Saegusa-san's beauty, I decided to go with the reincarnated lovers separated by fate thing." Zeru said rubbing the back of his head.
"It was interesting to go there. Was that perhaps a method you were trying to use to obtain my lips?" Mayumi teased.
"Could be or could be not. But mostly not, since I'm not that eager to give myself away yet." He smiled.
Rukia's stomach began to churn in disgust at now seeing how similar they were now in terms of their vibe of annoyance that they gave out, that made her want to lose her ability hearing on purpose.
Izumi began to mope in the corner that the ship stopped midway.
Kasumi was glaring at Zeru with more hostility.
"Geez, I made your sister mad at me again."
"Well, yeah it was your fault." Mayumi agreed.
"For the last time it was your fault, for being attractive. So anyway Saegusa-san, which school are you attending?"
"Mou~ You don't have call me by my surname just to differentiate from me and my siblings." She pouted.
"Is it okay for me to?"
"Yes"
"So Mayumi, which school are you going to?"
"Well I have been given a recommendation to go to one of the Magic Associations." Schools."
"Eh, really? Which one?" Zeru asks.
"Rosenkreuzer."
"Hm Rosenkreuzer. That's one of the associations that has a branch office in the Kanto region, right?"
"Yes, but since there is currently no school built there. So I will be staying at the dorms."
"Is that right. How did they found out about you?"
"I think it was due to my skills in magic shooting."
"Magic shooting? Like using magic to fire?"
"Yep, seems I also have knack for that, besides archery. Oh and I do dabble in shooting with firearms as well. Ever since during my first year in Middle School, I always go to the Kanto's Magic Association for shooting practice. And later after when I was in my third year, I received a recommendation from the association, since one of their scouts was their looking at records on people's training. Apparently mines was impressive."
"Aren't you the prodigy..."
"Kinda of."
"Well look who's snarky."
Mayumi stuck her tongue at him.
"Dam, I should've tried signing up for Rosenkruzer."
"Why?"
"Reason one: Do not want to deal with the future annoyances I'll have at Kuoh since Devils are attending. Reason two: I want to attend it since my Mother's Family attended there. Reason three: I'm just in a bad mood, thinking about that school. "
"I see. So you don't want to experience the life of attending a recently coed school?"
"Unless, if I didn't know anything about the supernatural. I would just be happy to attend there. But, that ain't happening in a long shot."
"So are you going to attend the first day of school?"
"Possibly going to go Neet."
"Well I do pray that your looks don't degrade due to isolation. So do try to get some sunlight." Mayumi giggled.
"So, I'm guessing Junmonji is attending also? Rukia asks.
"Yep and Mari also."
"How did she got in?" Rukia asks.
"Some of her family members work for the Association, as registered Combat Magicians. Plus there was a scout, observing at the training faculties, when she was there training."
"So, Watanabe Mari. What's she like?" Zeru asks.
"So Mari, piques your interest?" Mayumi smirked.
"I It's nothing like that…" he turned his head away, trying to not show his slowly blushing face
"Reeaaallly?" Mayumi had a cheshire smile.
"Yes."
"Hm, well since she was in the disciplinary committee, she is tough, disciplined, and sport. She also does give a vibe of an Onee-san."
"So she's like everyone's Onee-san?"
"Not exactly, that term is used only by some members of the Committee."
"Why?"
"Possibly due to how it references to how a person of the Yakuza addresses the mistress of the organization."
"Ah, so your committee was somewhat dark?"
"Nope, just a regular discipline committee, it just that Mari is a strict leader."
"I see."
"Plus she's like the second mom, to that." Rukia pointed at Mayumi, while Mayumi pouted at how she was referred as 'That'.
"How exactly?"
"She always reprimands her for the trouble she's doing and also those two got shipped."
"Say wha now?" Zeru said in surprise.
"Yeah, since those two are sometimes together and seeing how close the two were, it just happened. Plus she has short hair so that kinda made her the seme."
"…That right…"
"Mou~ It isn't like that at all."
"Hey, I just hear what other students say." Rukia went back to playing with the bunny.
"You don't believe that right, Zeru-kun?"
"Eh, well this is the first I've heard of yuri rumors. Since those tend to happen mostly at single gender private schools and when female kouhais have an unusal attachment to their senpais and then theirs also the ones with androphobia that have failed to overcome their fear and later develop a greater attraction to the opposite sex. So based on that, it seems those rumors aren't true."
"See?" Mayumi pointed out, while Rukia was engrossed with playing with the bunny.
"Hmm…." Zeru blinked his eyes as he looked at Mayumi again and noticed something particularly strange now, something that he should've noticed…
"Is something wrong Zeru-kun?"
"Wait a minute…Ah…Neh Mayumi-san."
"Can you take out the honorifics? We're the same age, after all."
"Fiiine, just want to be polite is all *pout*. Mayumi, do you happen wear contacts?"
"No."
"Is that right…" Immediately he then backed away to a corner with fear in his face.
"Eh? Did I do something wrong?" Mayumi was startled by the sudden action of avoidance Zeru displayed from her.
The other three girls looked at Mayumi and all of them and an 'Oh, I get it' Face.
"Eeh? What's wrong?"
"Izumi-chan, mind checking on him."
Izumi nodded as she went to the currently sitting in the corner in fetal position.
"Senpai?"
"…Izumi-chan…"
"It's Onee-chan's eyes isn't it?" She asks about his sudden fear.
Zeru nodded.
There was one fear he was freaking afraid of, girls with red eyes. Of all his experiences of dealing with red eyed girls as in watching anime and playing with visual novels with girls that have red eyes. First they develop those eyes via irritation of others mostly males when they do soemthign stupid, anger issues, show off an evil personality, possessed by demons, reincarnated from demons, and yandares. Oh how he regretted of having a person edit some of the cut scenes in School Days to edit the yandere moments with the girl having red eyes instead of the original color.
"Don't worry, Onee-sama is nice…most of the times."
That last part didn't help at all.
"…Which of your parents have red eyes?"
"Our Okaa-sama."
"….I see…"
"Does this mean you hate Onee-sama, now?" she asks with worry.
"….No no, Izumi-chan, I'm just a little unsure of how act now towards her."
"Can't you just be yourself?" she titled her head in confusion at what he was saying.
"No no, it's like that, I'm just afraid of what your sister is capable of if I were to really get on her nerves." He sweat drop.
"Don't worry, she hasn't send anybody to the hospital."
"Say wha?"
"Nothing!" She said waving her hands, to try to convince him to ignore the previous statement.
"Okaaay…"
"Mou~ That's mean, having a sudden fear of me because of the color of my eyes. Do I look that frightening?" Mayumi pouted at the reason for Zeru's sudden change in behavior.
"Remember what you did to our senpai, during our first year, on Valentines Day?"
"It's not my fault, he shouldn't have agitated me." She said trying make her reason valid.
"All he did was pat you on your head commenting that you're a cute kouhai."
"I'm still not seeing what is the threat I am capable of?"
"You made chocolates that are capable of giving chronic diarrhea and vomiting for like who knows when it ends."
"I told you it was an accident, all I did was daydream and added some unnecessary ingredients by mistake." She said innocently.
Because of his newfound fear, luckily he failed to hear about her killer chocolates.
"Senpai, please don't be scared of Onee-sama." She said, trying to hold back her pleading mode. Making sure that the chances of her having one of her favorite cosplayers as her onii-sama is secured.
Seeing Izumi, he couldn't help but feel slightly guilty.
"Don't worry, I won't hate your Onee-sama."
Izumi's expression brightened up.
As he walked back to where the other girls were.
"So you're now scared of me?" Mayumi asks.
"100 percent." He admitted.
"Really now?"
A smirk then formed on her, as she walked close to him in his personal space and starred at him.
With her she now in his personal space, Goosebumps began to spread over his body, he could feel a cold chill blowing by his neck and enveloping his spine, and he could feel some sort of evil presence towering over him.
"Hey, I think you should…" Rukia advised seeing that Zeru couldn't withstand Mayumi's presence for long, because of his fear for girls with red eyes.
"Shh, it's almost there…." Mayumi smiled.
THUD
He fainted flat on his face.
"Yay Onee-chan killed him!" Kasumi cheered that the Skirt-Chaser was down.
"Nooo!" Izumi screamed with horror.
And with that the group had to leave do the loud commotion and the added worrieness of the seemingly dead body of the young innocent boy.
"Ara~ That was fun wasn't it~" Mayumi said cheerfully, only to receive a glare from Rukia now that her bunny play time was cut short because of her.
As for Zeru he was just standing as if it was a deer caught in some super bright headlights.
"Helloooo~ Are you in there?" Mayumi tiptoed up and began knocking on his head.
Feeling the sensation on his head, his eyes turned to see the red eyed saegusa.
"!" he immediately tried to back away but unfortunately the sleeve of his shirt was grabbed, causing him to remain where he stood, struggling aimlessly away from Mayumi.
"Would you please calm down?" Mayumi asks, as Zeru stopped.
"…Yes." He murmured weakly.
"Mou~ I'm not demon or anything."
"…Uh huh."
"You don't believe me do you?" she pouted.
Zeru then took out a vial of holy water from his pocket.
"Seriously?" Rukia sighed at his idiocy.
As he popped open the vial of holy water.
"Please don't splash it on me." Mayumi advised.
Zeru nodded as he took her hand and poured a small drop on her hand.
As the water droplet made contact wither skin, nothing happened.
"See? I'm not a demon."
Zeru continued to pour more of the content, thinking that the red-eyed Saegusa had powerful demonic energy, which was able to nullify the effects of the holy water. So he decided to enhance it with magic to increase the power, hopefully it was able suppress the demonic energy.
Rukia couldn't help but laugh at the ridiculous event happening, seeing the idiocy and paranoia of Zeru.
Kasumi was laughing at the Skirt Chasser's idiocy and Izumi was praying that the ship was still happening.
After until the vial was empty…
"See? For the last time not a demon." She said, with a tick mark slowly forming.
Feeling the intense presence of killing intent, from her. Zeru stopped.
"…Sorry."
Suddenly his hair was being ruffled round and felt something wet.
"Glad, you finally got your senses straight then~" Mayumi smiled, removing her now dried hand thanks to drying it off on his hair, which was now messed up.
"Geez, you could've used my shirt instead of my hair." He said, as he used magic to fix his hair back to his usual style.
"But if I do that I might end up touching your chest…Perhaps you want me to touch you?~"
"…I really need to think carefully of what I say to you, huh?"
"Perhaps or perhaps not. Think what you want~"
"I see then."
"Well then, since todays is more of a sisters day, I suppose we should go our separate ways now."
"Aww~ And I was just hoping to spend some time with you, so I can get over my fear of your red eyes~"
"Well then maybe should share numbers in case you need help with overcoming your fear~"
"I like that." He said as the two shared their phone numbers.
Kuoh Town.
As Rukia and Zeru got out of the train now arrived back to Kuoh Town.
"…How can you deal with her?" Zeru asks.
"Cause I don't have a fear of girls with red eyes." Rukia mocked.
"Shut up."
"I'll give you a word of advice, don't treat her like a child."
"Huh?"
"If you don't want to end up in the Nurse's office or missing a vary number of weeks of school. Don't treat her like a child." Rukia warned.
"…Noted…How many weeks did some of the students miss, at your middle school."
"1-7."
"Good to know."
"…Thanks." She said in a low voice of reluctance.
"Hm?"
"I said, thanks…For telling me about the Usagi Café…and taking me there…"
"…Your welcome…I guess…" he scratched the back of his head.
A slight awkward silence filled around them.
"So, yeah. I was wondering if you're interested in helping me with my kido?"
"I guess I have the time."
"That's good, guess I'll be in your care."
"For misbehavior, you have to sit in the corner and wear a dunce cone."
"Whatever, you say."
"So…Mayumi…"
"What about her?"
"…Do you like her?"
"Hm. I guess, she's a fun person sort a scares me now. I hope she doesn't go yandere." He chuckled.
"Not what I mean, in that sort of manner."
After thinking clearly what Rukia meant…
"Haaaah? What gave you that interpretation?" he said with dumbfoundment.
"Well…you two were kinda flirting."
"Eeeeeeh?! That was flirting?!" he yelled in surprise.
"Are you serious?"
"B B B But that's n n nonese….how can that be interpreted like that? Sure I complimented on her looks and other stuff, but I was going with mood since we both seem to like to play around and stuff...Wait a minute the only reason why you would interpret it like that…means…"
Rukia's cheeks turned red as she was worried about what he was about to say, of why she would view the fun teasing conversation he and Mayumi had.
"That you ship me with her?"
"NO!"
"Hm, that's true. There is only the possibility of 20% that would happen. Then I guess the biggest possibly for you to ask me such a question is….Wait a minute…are you….jea…"
POW
Before he can finish stating his theory, she punched square in the head.
"Okaaaa-saaaama~ I don't wanna goooo toooo sleeeeep~…" he whined drowsily.
THUD
He fell straight on the ground on his face, as a scene was made in public.
Seeing the gaze from the other people, there was only explanation she can say.
"He was being a complete dense baka."
Most of the adult couples had an 'Oh' expression understanding the situation, as they walked away.
"Ah too be young again."
"Remember I used to do that to you anata?"
"Good luck with him."
"Word of advice, make it really obvious for him to notice."
"Fight on"
Rukia's cheeks flushed with embarrassment from the comments from the other wives
Unfortunately this caused the other young males with their girlfriends to obtain an newfound fear of facing the consequences from their girlfriends, if they acted like an idiot towards them.
After about five kicks to the rib.
"Aaahn. Good morning~"
"It's afternoon."
"Hm, time flies."
"Do you remember anything?"
"Hm, you did ask me a question but I think my mind was to jumbled and then after that you punched my gut."
Rukia internally sighed in relief that he didn't remember his idiocy he portrayed a couple minutes ago."
"Did I say something wrong to make you mad?"
"Nothing at all, just letting out some pent up agitation."
"Fair enough. So, guess your time at the Usagi Café wasn't satisfying."
"Eh? What are you talking about?"
"Well, you with the commotion that me and Mayumi accidentally cause."
"Oh that. Don't worry about that, I had a lot of fun before you were done with your photo shoot."
"That's good." He smiled.
"Are you okay?" Rukia asks curiously at his seemingly normal attitude.
"As in what?"
"Personality wise."
"Hm, guess I'm the same old annoying prick."
"Really?"
"Hey just because I show off as fun guy, doesn't mean I can't maintain a normal conversation."
"Huh, how about that."
"You know what, fuck that café. It was shitty, literally. All those mini poops around, I was this close to cutting off my nose."
"At least they don't lick themselves."
"Hey! That shows how cats are hygienic!"
"Right and don't forget when they lick, they also end up swallowing some of their loose fur and cough up hair balls."
"At least they don't have buck teeth like nerds."
"Oh yeah, at least they aren't afraid of water."
"Certain cats have a tolerance with water." He growled.
"Uh huh."
The two both sighed from the small argument and continued to walk home.
"So what should we do about visiting her?" Rukia asks.
"…Depends do we even have enough lives to see her…"
"We might as well."
"Not sure even if I can even deal with seeing her, after leaving the orphanage. I found at that she's one of the Top 5 Female Exorcists, I'm afraid of the possiblty getting smited.
"Well Quatra-san, does always give off that intimidating presence."
"Yeah and don't forget her niece as well."
" You mean Griselda-san? She's not that bad."
"Oh right I forgot, I was "The problem child that needed to be disciplined." " he air quoted.
"Maybe if you didn't run off on your own and doing who knows what heck were you doing, when she was subbing for her aunt. Then maybe she would go easy on you."
"I was going through my rebellious phase."
"Still your fault."
"Whatever, I'll find out if she still works there or not, last year she called me."
"Oh and did she make you confess your sins?" she joked
"Nah, she wants to do it at the confessional booth."
"Figures, she always likes person to person punishment."
"Yep and I'm so gonna get lectured when I confess my sins." He sweat drop, fearing what would happen when he confessed what he did since living with the Hyodou family.
"Good luck with that." She patted his shoulder.
"Hey you're gonna get interogatted from her too." He chuckled.
"Yes, but I didn't do anything involving lewdness."
"Pfft."
As they were almost there to his house.
"What's wrong?" Rukia turned to see Zeru just standing and he looked worried.
"…No she' can't be here…Fuck…If it is her then…Oh god, Rossweisse is so suffering right now…Well I guess that what she gets for being a eduholic that didn't bother to get a boyfriend." he muttered.
"Hey, earth to baka. You in there?" She poked his head.
Suddenly Zeru had a serious expression, causing Rukia to slightly back off.
"Rukia…I'm gonna be going somewhere for a bit…I'll be back whenever!"
"Eh?"
Suddenly she was pulled in close to him, as he planted a kiss on her cheek.
"!"
"I'm sorry, that you'll end up dealing with some nuisance from my end." He apologized solemnly at the trouble he would cause her to deal with as well.
He then took out his cellphone activating the application for the teleportation circle to the Greek God of Blacksmithing.
"Later." He was then enveloped by light and disappeared.
Rukia who was dumbfounded at the sudden action, she touched where her cheek was kissed and a small amount of pink began to form over her cheek.
"Wait did he just…Kissed me?"
Meanwhile in the Hyoudou house.
"Ufufufu~ Hm you might as well give up." Hisana said smugly at a certain foreign elder.
"Hmph, so she got a kiss on the cheek big deal. (Shit, so that brat is able to sense my magic aura now. Guess I was too excited for starting the plan.)" Gondur said not caring.
"Plus with their tsundere-like relationship and having known each other since childhood, they're bound to have good development."
"Please, haven't they been in no contact each other for 6 years."
"Don't underestimate the power of a tsundere-relationship." Hisana said.
"Well, he's already seen what kind of package Rose has carrying underneath. So I bet he'll like that compare to your sister's."
"What's that supposed to mean?" she said giving off an agitated vibe."
"I'm just saying, most males like a little bigger." She smirked.
The room was then filled with killing intent as the two women were engulfed in aura as their sparks collided with one another.
Rossweisse who was sitting next to the mother cried in despair of how her grandmother was basically ruining her life.
The wife of the Hyoudou residence patted her back in comfort.
Underneath that caring smile was an evil smile only mothers would have, it was the satisfaction of how obtaining good gossip to talk to other mothers about their child's love life and what was more juicy that it was a love triangle.
Finally after middle school, he finally has some love problems in his life. She was getting pretty much sick with his carefree attitude, towards relationships.
Hephasteus Forge.
"…Ah I came here rudely without notifying him …Hope he wouldn't mind." As he walked through the forge.
He then stopped to realize, the action he did previously towards Rukia.
"….EEEEEEHH?!" he screamed in shock at what nonsense did he just did.
Zeru placed his hand against the earthy wall of the cave and tried to calm himself.
"Dammit why did I do that unless. Could this be the strange reaction that most teens that are sexually active and have the urge to commit physical contact with others of the oppose sex…Hormones?!"
He knelt down, grabbing his head with a look of agony that the very instinct of all teens have had awakened. He was sure that he suppressed them with his crush on 2D characters but to think they would react to…3D females.
Oh how he cursed father time and evolution.
"Ze-Chaan~"
He then turned to see the Goddess of Love walking to him, with a smile on her face.
"Aphrodite-sama…"
Suddenly he was then pulled into her embraces with his head against her busom, at this point his reactions were slow that he didn't blush at the contact of the goddess's chest.
"I'm so happy that you found love~" she said with happiness in a tone that of a mother finally satisfied that her son is finally in a relationship.
"BUUUT I DIDN'T FOUNND ANY LOVE!~" Tears began to form from his eyes streaming down his face.
"Shh, there there it's alright. I'll make sure to give you all the knowledge you need about love and the positives of havingpolygamy~" she held his shoulders with a smile of reassurance.
"Polygamy?!" He said shocked at what was going on inside the Goddess's mind.
Suddenly his phone rang.
"Hello?"
"YOU OFFICALLY RUINED OUR LIVES!"
"Is this my reaper?" he asks with hope.
"It's me! Rukia."
"Oh hey…"
"Do you want to know what me and Rossweisse are suffering through now?
"A lot of trouble?"
"A shipping war."
"Really? What's the pairing?"
"Uh lets see I dunno…whatever my sister and Rossweisse's grandmother ships between you x me x Rossweisse!"
"Really, that's sounds like good fiction but it sounds like the pairings are too rushed though….Gonna talk to you later, bye bye." He quickly hanged up and sighed in relief that he wasn't going through what they're doing now.
"You bastard! I'm not done with…"
"Oooh looks like it's getting hot over there." Aphrodite squealed, having who was standing next to him, eavesdropping on his conversation.
The goddess then him dragged by his arm, leading to wherever she is taking him.
"Aphrodite-sama, what are you doing?"
"Like I said before, I'm going to teach you about love and the pros of polygamy~"
"EEEEEEEEH?!"
And so begins his own little slice of Hell.
Sorry that it took a while for me to update this fic, been trying to recover from the curse of the school stress since finals are out of the way and it ain't working well lol But luckily I now have some free time to work on this story now, hopefully.
Hope everyone enjoyed the chapter and make sure review :)
