Kazuya Kinoshita
He was just a regular 20 year old college student
Nothing really special about him, anybody whom you asked about him will say "He's just a guy who can´t keep it together"
His family and friends didn't hold him in a high place
And this was double when it came to love
After being dumped by his girlfriend, he was down on the dumps, rolling around his mattress, his whole apartment scattered with empty bowls of ramen and tissues
-"I got dumped!" the tears kept falling, until he noticed an advertisement on his phone for a certain app "Diamond… Rent a girlfriend?"
The idea was simple, rent a girl for an hour to go on a date with, with her pretending to be your girlfriend, minus the physical contact
It sounded like something someone desperate would do
And he was desperate indeed
-"I… don't want… to… put up with this… anymore" those were his frail thoughts as he downloaded the app
A couple of days later, he was waiting near the train station
He let out a pathetic sigh, questioning what what he doing here
Until
-"You" a female voice pointed at him "In the orange t-shirt, in the striped pants"
Looking up from his phone, he saw her for the first time
Ichinose Chizuru, also known as Mizuhara
-"Kazuya-kun, right?"
With a blush on his face, he gave her a nod "C-Cute"
They headed to a nearby café, where they exchanged some small talk
Although Kazuya´s mind was on fire at the astonishing beauty that was sitting in front of her "Her clothes, her style, everything about her is seriously cute!" he felt in heaven "Whoever her boyfriend would be, they´d be able to brag to about her to anyone"
His trains of thoughts were cut off when she asked for the money, she was working after all
After that, they went to an nearby aquarium, they even held hands
Kazuya felt quite relieved for his special treatment
That is until he saw the reviews online
Apparently, that was part of her service as a girlfriend
And Kazuya felt ripped off
-"Was all of that just an act!?" he threw his phone on the floor "Even holding hands was part of her routine!? Fucking slut!" he looked at her profile on the website "I am gonna give her 1 star review, toying with people's hearts!"
Despite this, coming the following week, he rented her again
They even went to the same aquarium, and he could tell she did some more research on fishes
For Kazuya, that was the last straw
-"Enough" he said, sounding rather depressed
-"Eh?" Mizuhara was confused
-"What's the point of doing all of this? Because you´re a pro?"
-"W-Wait, Kazuya-kun" she was panicking and waving her hands, noticing the nearby people looking at them "What's gotten into you so suddenly?"
-"Why put in all of this effort?" he continued, ignoring her pleas "It's just a relationship for a day after all?" with tears forming, he looked at her straight "It won't matter though, as we´ll no longer be seeing each other! Because no matter how much effort I put out, nothing will ever come out of it!"
Having enough, she dragged him away, until they were alone
-"Hey" she said once she caught her breath "You´ve got some nerve"
-"Eh"
She got close to him, poking his chin with a finger, anger all over her face "What the hell were you thinking?! Are you an idiot?!"
He felt like one now
"What the hell was that earlier?! Pointless?! I´m just your rental girlfriend, you fucking dumbass! That was our agreement, right?!" she poked into his cheek "Didn't you pay for me to do this?! You did read the terms and conditions to see what would be provided, right?!"
He meekly apologized
-"And what the hell is up with last week's one star review?! Until now, I´ve always had a five star rating! Give me back my rating right now, got it?! If your plan is to mess with my job, could you please do it to someone else?!"
He clenched his teeth "This is it, this is the real personality?"
After calming herself down, she asked "So? Do you want to continue? We still have some time left"
Before he could replied, his phone rang
-"Yes?" he said, then his expression turned into a worried one "Eh?! No way! Really?!... Ok, got it" he hung up, looking at Mizuhara with a somber expression "My grandmother… just collapsed"
-"Wah?!"
He began to run away "I have to go! Sorry!"
-"Wait!" she yelled as she caught up with him "There's still some time remaining!"
And so, they arrived to the hospital, after checking on her grandmother, who was as lively as ever, they finally addressed the elephant on the room
-"So" his grandmother asked "Who´s this little miss?"
-"I was wondering that too" his mother added "She´s a very charming young lady, could you be a classmate? It couldn't possibly be his girlfriend, right?"
-"There's no way that's possible!" his father added, barely holding his amusement "It´s Kazuya after all!"
-"You´re right! It´s Kazuya after all"
This was typical for him, they never had good expectations of him
Gulping, and having enough of their treatment, Kazuya started what could be the biggest lie of his life
-"She's my girlfriend!"
All of them, gasped at this revelation, Mizuhara just looked at him with concern
Letting out a sigh, she stood up, put on her best smile, and said
-"Nice to meet you! My name is Chizuru Mizuhara"
This caused an outburst of tears from the grandmother, who wanted to be discharged now, she even started to give everyone orders
In the meantime, Mizuhara threw a glare at Kazuya
Little both know, that lie started everything
It turns out that they were neighbors, as well as college classmates, even their respective grandmothers knew each other
But soon that lie will change into something more
It began while they were taking a ferry, Mizuhara was not feeling so well, and so, she ended up falling over the rail, right into the ocean
People were panicking on the ferry, the staff calling for the coast guard assistance
Upon hearing the news of her falling, Kazuya dropped his phone, just as he was talking to his ex
And in an unexpected move, jumped straight into the water to save her
-"I still don´t know, Why I did something like that" ke kept on swimming "But I'm sure that at that time, I had already realized it… Mizuhara Chizuru, is a rental girlfriend" he saw a strand of her hair "She's something fictional, something temporary, seh´s someone I´m not allowed to develop feelings for" she reached her hand "But" she held her close to him "Even so"
Hours later, Miozuhara woke up in a nearby shore, wt from head to toe
-"Where am I?" she started to remember the events that led her here "Oh, right, I fell from that ship" looking around, she noticed Kazuya´s unconscious body "This guy… saved me" the realization made her blush
She dragged herself to him, and shook his boy "Hey, come on" no answer "Hey, come on!" she place her hands on his face, gently moving his face, yet no answer
She was getting desperate "Stop it, this isn't funny! the rescuer in need of rescue?! Are you kidding me?!" she look around, there was no one on sight
She started to apply compressions on his chest
-"What were you thinking?!" she yelled at him "Didn't I tell you to use me however you like?! Are you seriously this dumb?!" she started to cry as she kept applying CPR "I told you, I´m a rental girlfriend!"
She then remembered the words his grandmother told her once
-"How can I be angry at a girl who likes my grandson?"
There was nothing but darkness surrounding Kazuya, even in his thoughts, he could do nothing but berate himself
Until, he felt something warm
Opening his eyes in shock, it was Mizuhara, who had her lips on his, breathing into his mouth
She was applying CPR on him
His hands began to twitch
Breaking apart, Kazuya began to cough, catching his breath
Looking at his side, he saw Mizuhara, blushing heavily while catching her breath
She was relieved that he was alive
And embarrassed
-"S-Sorry" she looked away "I´m really sorry that you had to save me"
He was blushing hard "Um, no, same here"
Eventually, they were both rescued
And all they went through, meeting Ruka, Sumi, Yaemori, as well as dealing with Mami, making the movie, and many more stuff
It all started from a lie
But their love was true and real
Back at the arena
-"It might have started as a lie" Kazuya readied his sword, fighting the searing pain on his skin and muscles, looking his opponent dead in the eyes "But it is true now! And I won't let you insult that!"
To this, the goddess wiped the blood from her face, still stung from the headbutt from her opponent "Your idea is naive, then again, you're only human"
-"There are many forms of love, Bastet-san, I learnt that when I met the others" he remembered Ooyama, Nega, and the others of humanity´s representatives "And we are all fighting fiercely to protect that. If you are gonna question me, do it after you win" he grinned at her "If you can, that is"
-"Hmph" she set her claws on fire "I intend"
The feline like goddess rushed at him, unleashing a barrage of slashes against the young lover, who did his best to block
-"Hang in there, Kazuya-san, Hrist" Goll yelled from the stands
Brünhilde kept looking at the fight, hoping for the best
-"That human just refuses to fall!" Ares said "Even in the state his body is"
-"It is because of that state that he is in that he's trying to endure as much as he can" Hermes added
-"What do you mean?" Ares asked confused
-"Look at how burnt his body is, his skin and muscles will not be able to hold much longer" Zeus said "Once that happens, he will just fall down, and then Bastet will be able to finish her off"
-"Y-Yeah, it is as you say"
-"Still" the chief of the Greek pantheon stroked his beard "Why can't I shake this bad feeling off?"
Back at the fight, Kazuya could feel his legs and arms beginning to give in
-"Damn it, I can´t hold on much longer!"
-"Don´t give up, Kazuya!" Hrist spoke to him
-"I know that! But, It's taking all I have to still stand, let alone attack her" he blocked another atack "Even with Hrist-san´ skill that allows me to copy any attack I throw, it ain't enough damage, they are just superficial cuts"
-"Not so confident anymore, are you, Kazuya man?" the goddess mocked him
-"Damn it!" he was cornered "I gotta think of something!"
Then, a lightbulb went off his head "Wait, Hrist-san, question!"
-"What?!"
-"With your power, any attack I make with my sword gets copied in the opposite direction, right?"
-"Yes"
-"Then, maybe" he had an idea, a bad one that was gonna get him killed, even if it worked "I got it!" he now looked focus
Kazuya Kinoshita, Bastet
A loser lover who can't do anything on his own, while the other was capable of everything
One was a coward with determination, the other was a ferocious one with no imagination
One defended love, no matter how it was born, the other protected the sanctity of it
Despite their different views, one thing they could agree on was
That this fight had to end
And the one to start the final act
Was Kazuya
He gulped "Here goes nothing, Hrist-san, don't be mad!"
-"What are you?"
But before she could finish her question, Kazuya threw her sword at Bastet
The goddess moved her head away, the sword grazing her hair, cutting a few strands off
-"Please" she turned around "I already knew you would try that"
She was correct, as soon as Kazuya threw his sword, a second one, thanks to Hrist´s power, was already on its way to hit the goddess from behind, or rather, in front
-"All I gotta do is dodge again and"
And suddenly, in a turn of events that no one was expecting, and using all his remaining strength, Kazuya grabbed the goddess by her armpits, locking his arms against hers
-"W-What are you doing?! Let go" she struggled to break free, but she couldn't
-"Being an idiot!" he yelled back as the replica sword got closer to them
-"I said let go!"
And he did so, just in time for him
But for her, it was too late, the sword hit her, the blade piercing through her chest
-"Gah!" she coughed blood
-"Return!" Kazuya called his original sword back, and ran towards his opponent
Turning around, and with an expression of fear and shock
As Kazuya´s sword slashed through her waist, from one end to the other, separating her upper body from her legs
She was cut in half
Blood was splattered on the ground and into Kazuya´s hands, as her opponent fell to the ground
-"Hah, Hah" he was breathing heavily
Both humans and gods were in disbelief, eyes´s wide and mouths hanging open
And this was even more so for the gods
Because what they thought impossible, had just happened
Basted upper and lower body began to disappear
-"The… the winner" Heimdall could not believe it either, but as a narrator, he had to tell the truth "The winner… of the 3rd round of Ragnarok is"
Kazuya planted his sword on the ground, using it as a staff to hold himself
-"The representative of humanity"
He was on tears, both from the pain and shock
-"Kazuya Kinoshita!"
Bastet´s body was gone
Kazuya Kinoshita vs Bastet
Match time: 11 minutes 32 seconds
Deciding move: Horizontal Slash
Winner: Kazuya Kinoshita
In the 7000000 years of human history, no one thought the impossible would ever happened
Yet, it just did
A human slayed a god
For the gods, these were news impossible to process
For the humans, once the reality sink in
They yelled in happiness
-"LET 'S GO!" a human said
-"WAY TO GO KAZUYA!"
Kazuya was trembling "I… I won" he looked at Mizuhara "I won, Mizuhara!"
She was on tears, happy tears, as she smiled at him
He then started to fall
-"Kazuya!" Hrist manifested back to her original form, holding a tired Kazuya "Hang in there! We'll get you fix up"
-"Hehe, thanks, ouch"
-"Way to go, Hrist!" Goll yelled
-"Quiet you!" she yelled back, but then she smugly grinned "I told you, I was coming for them!"
Goll just shook her head in amusement
-"Can we get to the nurse room or something? I am still in pain here" Kazuya said
-"Let me enjoy this"
While they were enjoying themselves, a couple of gods meeting at Zeus´s chambers were not
-"Grahhh!" Loki was beyond mad, he had a dead on expression on his face "Ok, this is not funny anymore"
-"This is not possible!" Ares added "That loser of a human actually defeated Bastet!"
-"It seems we have no choice" Zeus finished his tea "We must get one thing clear" he put his cup down "Our opponent is a strong one"
They all looked at him
-"If so, we just need to remind them of their place" his left arm muscles buffed up "And not allow them to tie the score!"
-"In that case!" Shiva stood up "I´m going next! I won't allow them to get more cocky"
-"Actually" Hermes said "Someone already officially volunteered" he showed the hindu god a tablet with a signed document
-"Heh?!" he looked at the name, and looked at Loki "Are you kidding me?!"
-"You are the one who didn't bother to pay attention" Loki just waved him off
-"Agh! Fine, but I am going on the 5th one, no objections!"
-"Sounds good to me" Zeus said
-"I am surprised you haven't volunteered yourself, Zeus-sama" Hermes said
-"Hohoho, don´t worry, I am just waiting for a particular one on the list"
They all exchanged looks on confusion
-"You and your tantrums" Loki rolled his eyes "But no matter" he then had a feral grin "I´ll just remember my opponent of his place, not with just brutal strength, but with something that hurts far more"
Back with Kazuya, he was in his room, accompanied by Hrist, Goll, and Brünhilde
-"Congratulations once more, Kazuya-san" the eldest of the valkyries said
-"T-Thanks, ouch" he winced in pain as one of the nurses applied a soothing cream on his skin
-"The cream will heal you from the burns, though you will still have scars"
-"That´s ok"
The door opened, revealing his family and Mizuhara
-"Hi, Kazuya" Mizuhara smiled at him
-"Mizuhara"
But before they could continue
-"Well, well" His grandmother said "You surprisingly did it"
-"Yeah, we were quite shocked" his mother said
-"Eh?" he was confused
-"I mean, it was you, so can you blame us for thinking you were gonna lose" his father added
The room went quiet
-"You actually expected him to lose?!" Goll was at disbelief
-"I mean, it is Kazuya, dear" her grandmother added "I am surprised he was chosen in the first place, I"
-"That's enough!" Mizuhara yelled
They all looked at her
-"He just won for all of you, all of us, and you dare to just come and insult him!?"
-"But"
-"She's right" Hrist said "Cut the guy some slack, he did far more than you all geezers anyway"
-"Who are you calling an old geezer?" her grandmother was offended
-"You have no right to insult Kazuya like that, you never did!" Mizuhara continued "When are you gonna cut him some slack? You should be thanking him on your knees, both him and Hrist-san!"
His family was stunned, Kazuya himself too
-"I like her" Hrist whispered into his ear
-"Now wait just a minute" his father tried to add
-"I believe visit hours are done for now, once Kazuya is back on shape, he will be send back, until then, you all, except Chizuru-san, must go"
-"Eh?!" the old granny was more offended "Who are you to boss us around?!"
Her answer was given in the form of a kicked, as she, alongside Kazuya´s parents were kicked out
-"You have one crazy family, you know that?" Brunhilde said
-"That's one way of putting it" Kazuya looked down
-"What´s wrong?" Goll asked
-"I am just upset, I mean" he thought of Bastet "I know she was gonna kill me, but I wish it hadn't come to that with Bastet-san"
-"Kazuya-san" Brünhilde said "I believe we should go Goll, let him rest"
-"Oh, Ok"
-"I'll stay here" Hrist said "I want to make sure he's fine, plus" she grinned at Kazuya and Mizuhara "I want to get to know the couple here"
The duo blushed at this
And with that, Brünhilde and Goll left
-"Poor Kazuya, I get why he would feel bad for doing what he did"
-"Goll" her elder sister tone was cold "That kindness of them will get us nowhere"
-"Eh?" she could not believe her words
-"We still have 6 opponents to defeat. And the gods and their pride won't allow a second defeat" they arrived at her chambers "So, we will call him" he selected a profile on the screen "The smartest lover in our roster!"
And that´s the end of that, and way to go, humanity´s won one, good job Kazuya
Now we move on to the 4th fight, and this one will be quite a mind game, how will it go?
So, what do you think? Leave any reviews or send a PM and I will gladly answer
Until next time
Peace
