You do realize this update speed is not going to last for another month. Hey, UknowHero here and tomorrow is birthday, please validate me and welcome to another chapter of Senran Persona. Hooray to anyone reading this because January was already kind of a shitshow. I have another month of holidays left and I hope to God that my sleep schedule will improve soon because 4am is not healthy.
To the reviews. To Vein Bloodborne: Well, Akira. Well, if you want. I have to point out that Joker is still the main protagonist; it's just that we're not focused on what he's doing. You should know the rough idea of what he does with his day; hang out with friends, do part time jobs, that sort of thing (We're going on the assumption that Akira is going for 100% completion though). However, we want to focus on the new things, the events we write like the following chapter.
Anyway, that's it! Time to perv on boobies!
Load Game... Start!
Chapter 22: Golden Opportunities
(5/2, Evening)
(Shin Megami Apartment Complex)
The two girls arrived at their apartment with tired smiles on their faces. "Whew! It's good to be home after all that." Homura sighed as she threw herself onto the couch.
"Still can't believe it's over..." Asuka mumbled out. "It feels like we've been dealing with Kamoshida for years..." She then admitted.
"I know. But now we'll never have to deal with him again. Hopefully." Homura stated. "So...what do we do now?" She then asked before blinking.
It didn't even take them a second to know what they were going to do.
"Bath." They got out in unison before stripping and heading to the bathroom.
"O-Oh, I downloaded some music we might enjoy while we bathe." Asuka got out as she grabbed her phone. "Okay...what was it called..." She then muttered.
"Everybody shut up! I have an erection! It only happens 87 times a day~"
"Wait, what!? No! Um..." Asuka got out as she changed the song.
"I'm a shape shifter~ At Poe's masquerade~ Hiding both face and mind~ All free for you to draw~"
"Ah, there we go." Asuka got out with a smile and nod of approval. "Now to relax~" She then sighed out as she looked at the bathtub. "Um...should we use another bath bomb?" She soon asked.
"Nope, those will be strict celebrations from now on." Homura replied as she shook her head.
"Doesn't today count?" Asuka pointed out as she started the hot water. "Kamoshida's gone, the students are rebelling and Shiho-chan woke up. I'd say that's an appropriate reason to celebrate." She then added.
"...Today's an exception since we used one recently...and we really don't have the preparations ready at the moment." Homura explained. "And we really don't want to go into that state again." She then added while blushing.
Asuka couldn't help but share the same blush. "I-I promise to check the ingredients next time." She got out. "Let's just get in..." She then added.
"Next time Sis, next for sure." Homura then reassured as they stepped into the tub.
"Ah~ Sooooo gooood~!" The two soon sighed out in a delighted manner.
"...But after having the bath bomb in it, I know it can be better..." Asuka admitted.
"We are not using bath bombs every chance we get!" Homura called out as splashed water into her roommate's face. "When we do use it, we'll appreciate it more." She then explained.
"I know...but-" Asuka began, however...
"No buts young lady! The only butts we have are our asses!" Homura interrupted in a mature manner.
"Your words do not fit your tone..." Asuka giggled out. "You need a little practice on that." She then advised.
"Well, considering the idiots we deal with on a daily basis, I think I have plenty of practice." Homura countered in amusement. "That and my new duty at Shujin." She then added.
"Speaking of which, how exactly are you going to get the school to...you know...be better Homu-nee?" Asuka had to ask in a curious manner.
"Basically making sure no one pulls off anything bad." Homura replied. "I plan to take the job seriously." She then revealed.
"I know you will, but it's probably going to be harder than yelling at people..." Asuka pointed out.
"True, I decided I'm gonna grow up like Makoto-senpai." Homura soon informed with a smirk.
"Huh?" Asuka got out in confusion.
"Sis, I am an angry, violent girl who can't find a job to save her life." Homura confessed in a sheepish manner. "If this is gonna work, I have to be the adult here." She then explained.
"Th-Th-Th...Does that mean no more bathing and sleeping together!?" Asuka soon asked in a panic.
Homura however raised an eyebrow to that question. "Where'd that come from?" She counter asked in confusion.
"W-Well, you know...because mostly children do tha-" Asuka murmured until...
BONK!
Immediately the tan skinned girl playfully bonked her roommate on the had. "Of course not Sis, just because we do that doesn't mean we're children. It's a sign of our friendship and bond." Homura explained. "...As cheesy as that sounds." She then awkwardly added.
"Oh thank God..." Asuka breathed out in relief. "Just don't grow up too much, okay? Enjoy our youth, you know?" She then requested.
"Duh." Homura replied in amusement. "Now come along Sis, we have have to finish up and get ready to go to sleep." She then advised in a more mature manner.
Asuka meanwhile blinked to the tone of voice change before giggling. "Hehe~ You sounded just like Ikaruga-chan there Homu-nee." She soon informed with a smile.
The tan skinned in turn nodded in an interested manner to learning this. "You know, I gotta meet her some day. She sounds like the type of person I should get some pointers from." Homura muttered out.
"Yeah, you should." Asuka got out in agreement as she looked up at the ceiling. "...I really should call them some time..." She then thought with a far off expression.
"Hey. Hey! Sis, can you pass me some soap." Homura called out, snapping the brunette out of her thoughts.
"Oh, sorry. Here." Asuka replied as she passed the soap to the tan skinned girl.
Soon enough, they had finished bathing and were wiping themselves down.
"What should we have for dinner, Homu-nee?" Asuka asked.
"I'm not hungry, actually. I just want to go to sleep." Homura answered.
"Sure, I'm actually not that hungry myself." Asuka then confessed. "Just gonna have a bottle of milk." She then informed as she went to the fridge and took a bottle out and opened it. "Want one?" She soon offered.
"Yeah sure, why not?" Homura replied as she got some glasses for both of them.
"Here, let me pour it out for you. I'll just do mine first." Asuka offered as she took a glass and started pouring milk into it.
GLOP!
The two roommates stared at Asuka's glass as the milk just...slopped out in chunks.
"Oh yeah, we haven't bought milk yet from the store." Asuka remembered.
"Welp, there goes any sense of hunger or thirst." Homura simply stated as she grabbed the glass out of her roommate's hands, dumped out its contents into the trash and put it in the sink. "Let's just sleep and eat a big breakfast in the morning." She soon suggested.
"Yeah, that's probably a good idea." Asuka replied as they headed for the bedroom.
Just as they were getting ready for bed, their phones vibrated. They didn't bother sighing before picking up their phones and checking the IM.
[Shut7heFUp: Hey, you know how much the gold medal's worth?]
[SushiRoll23: Huh? Why are you asking us that?]
[TheWildJ0ker: We need to get rid of it as soon as possible. If the police find it...]
[FireGirl20: Ryuji, hate to break it to ya, but we're only gonna get 30,000 yen out of it.]
[Shut7heFUp: WHAT!? After all that!?]
[Sweetkat06: How do you know that off the top of your head?]
[Sweetkat06: Actually, don't answer that...]
[Sweetkat06: Oh...hey Ryuji...remember that time in middle school? When I lent you some money...?]
[SushiRoll23: Really? What happened?]
[Shut7heFUp: There is NO EFFIN' WAY I borrowed 30,000 from you!]
[Sweetkat06: But wouldn't it be around that much with compound interest?]
[Shut7heFUp: Interest my ass!]
[TheWildJ0ker: Phrasing.]
[FireGirl20: Explanation please.]
[Sweetkat06: In middle school, we went on a field trip to the aquarium and Ryuji here spent all of his money on a dolphin. He didn't have any for the train fare home.]
[Shut7heFUp: D-Dude, it was for my mom!]
[SushiRoll23: Aw~ That's so sweet, Ryuji-kun!]
[Sweetkat06: Look, I'm not gonna take all of it. I mean, it is his fault for not paying it back all these years!]
[Shut7heFUp: Oh come on!]
[TheWildJ0ker: Hey, Morgana's suggesting that we use the money to celebrate Kamoshida's downfall.]
[Shut7heFUp: I guess we could blow this dirty money on something fun.]
[FireGirl20: I'm up for it.]
[SushiRoll23: Sounds like fun! :)]
[TheWildJ0ker: Anyone know of any good restaurants?]
[Sweetkat06: Hey, wait a minute!]
[Sweetkat06: Okay...fine. We'll use the money to go somewhere. And I know just the place.]
[SushiRoll23: Really?]
[Sweetkat06: Yeah. It's a place Shiho and I have been dying to go to for a while.]
[Shut7heFUp: I owe money, so I can't complain...Yo, Leader. You good with that?]
[TheWildJ0ker: Fine by me.]
[Sweetkat06: Sweet! I'll go call and check the prices tomorrow.]
[Shut7heFUP: When should we go then? Like tomorrow? Oh, we can always do it tonight.]
[FireGirl20: Ryuji, it's late. It's probably closed by now...]
[Sweetkat06: Why don't we go on the last day of Golden Week? It'll help us getting back to school the next day.]
[SushiRoll23: Children's Day, then?]
[FireGirl20: Sounds good to me.]
[Shut7heFUp: Alright. Who has the medal again?]
[TheWildJ0ker : I got it. Don't worry, I'll take care of selling it.]
[SushiRoll23: To that Airsoft Shop owner, right? He doesn't ask questions...]
[FireGirl20: We'll leave it to you then. Good luck.]
[TheWildJ0ker: Homura, it's just taking the train to Central Street and walking there. It can't be that hard.]
[TheWildJ0ker: Anyways, Morgana's bothering me to go to sleep. Night.]
The two girls then placed their phones on the chargers and stretched their limbs in exhaustion.
"Today was emotionally exhausting, huh?" Homura sighed out.
"Yep. So glad we have an entire week to recover then, huh." Asuka replied.
"Golden Week." Homura breathed out as the two laid down. "We better enjoy it then. We have a bunch of stuff coming up." She then advised.
"Yeah." Asuka got out with a nod. "However..." She then started before trailing off.
"Hm? Something on your mind?" Homura soon asked.
"We...We still need to find out about who's been causing all the mental shutdowns." Asuka reminded.
To that, Homura nodded as she pulled her roommate's head into her breasts. "Don't worry Sis, we'll find something soon." She replied.
"Maybe we should use our Golden Week to get some info." Asuka suggested. "We need to work on finding this other Persona-user." She then added.
"And bring them to justice right?" Homura then guessed.
"Mmhm. We have the rest of the year, so let's make it count Homu-nee." Asuka got out before snuggling closer. "Anyways, good night." She then mumbled out while closing her eyes.
"Yeah. Night." Homura replied as she did the same, the two soon falling asleep.
(5/3, Daytime)
(Shibuya, Shin Megami Apartment Complex)
Morning soon came as the darkness in the apartment brightened the room.
The brunette soon slowly opened her eyes to see her roommate also opening her eyes as well, causing her to smile. "Good morning Homu-nee." Asuka happily greeted.
"Morning Sis." Homura greeted back as she rubbed her roommate's head. "Slept well?" She soon asked
"Yeah. First day of Golden Week today." Asuka replied followed by the reminder with a smile.
"Yeah. And remember, we have that thing on Children's Day." Homura also added. "Now let's get into the bath and then get dressed so we can decide what we do today." She then suggested.
"Hai! Homu-nee!" Asuka happily replied as the two got up and headed for the bathroom. "So, what do you think we should do today?" She soon asked as her roommate ran the water.
"Hmm...not sure." Homura replied. "I mean we do have the week off and I really didn't have time for leisure back at Hebijo." She once more reminded. "What about you Sis? What do you usually do on breaks like this?" She then asked.
"Train." Asuka automatically answered before rubbing the back of her head. "Yeah, I really want to become a great shinobi like Jii-chan." She soon admitted in a sheepish manner.
"And that's not a bad thing. But this is an opportunity to do other things than train and hang out with friends." Homura then pointed out as she rubbed the brunette's head.
Asuka in response nodded to that. "Yeah..." She replied as she thought about. "I would like to see my friends from Hanzō Academy." She soon admitted.
"You want to visit your friends at Hanzō Academy?" Homura repeated as she raised an eyebrow. "What about hunting for info on the breakdowns and shit? And shouldn't you restrict your contact with your friends just in case?" She then pointed out.
"Well-" Asuka started before stopping herself as she tried to think of an answer to that before sighing in a frustrated manner. "...I just...really, really miss my friends!" She soon revealed.
This in turn surprised the tan skinned girl as she raised an eyebrow. "...Even the one that gropes you?" Homura soon asked.
"Yes!" Asuka answered.
"...So, you actually enjoy that Katsuragi chick groping you?" Homura then asked in a teasing manner with a smirk on her face.
"Of course I don't Homu-neechan! I just miss her, okay!" Asuka stated while flailing her arms. "I mean it would be nice if she didn't grope me but I think it's ingrained into her DNA at this point." She then admitted.
Homura merely shrugged her shoulders. "Sure, I don't mind if you go to Asakusa." She replied in a casual manner.
"Thanks Homu-nee." Asuka replied before a thought came to mind. "...Do you wanna come?" She then offered with a smile.
This in turn caused Homura to blink to the offer. "You don't mind?" She asked in a slightly nervous tone.
Asuka merely tilted her head to that as a confused expression came across her face. "What do you mean Homu-nee?" She asked.
"Well...they're your friends..." Homura then reminded. "And I have to keep my cover as a shinobi. An Evil Shinobi." She soon added.
"Hey, I'll make sure they'll never know. To them, you're just my roommate." Asuka then reminded.
"That's...good... but..." Homura replied, though in a little unsure manner.
"Come on, it'll be fun! I just know you'll like them too Homu-nee!" Asuka reassured.
"...You know what? Alright. We have been talking about it so let's go." Homura got out. "When are we going?" She soon asked.
"How about today?" Asuka innocently suggested. "I'll call Ikaruga-chan and she and my friends will meet us in front of Hanzō Academy. We usually live at the student dorms." She then explained.
"Sounds good to me." Homura replied. "Let's go after we eat." She then stated.
The brunette in turn nodded in approval to the plan. "Yosh! Asakusa, here we come!" Asuka happily declared in excitement as the two continued eating.
Several minutes later, they were in their casual clothes and just about ready
"All set?" Homura asked as she zipped up her hoodie.
"Just about." Asuka replied as she adjusted her hat and got her open toe shoes on.
"Good. Now we better hurry to the train station. Asakusa is only an hour by train." Homura informed as she got her sneakers on while she checked the schedule.
"It will be so nice and fun to see my friends again. We'll just have to watch out for Katsu-nee though." Asuka then awkwardly admitted.
"No shit Sis." Homura replied. "That's why I'm gonna buy pepper spray on the way there. She's not groping you on my watch." She then declared in a protective manner.
"No pepper spray. She's immune to it." Asuka then informed.
"Are you serious?" Homura then asked in disbelief.
"With every mistake she makes, she only grows stronger. Katsu-nee will never stop trying to grope you. Never." Asuka replied with a haunted look on her face as she got her purse.
"Man, this Katsuragi's sounding crazier and crazier by the moment." Homura got out with a sweatdrop while getting her purse as well.
"I swear, she's still a really good person!" Asuka assured as the two exited the apartment and headed for the subway.
(Asakusa, Hanzō Academy Front Entrance)
After getting off the train and heading into the city, the two girls soon arrived at an average looking gated private school usually bustling with students, now empty due to it being Golden Week.
"Sorry Akira-kun, I'm visiting friends right now in Asakusa. I won't be available for the day." Asuka apologized. "...M-My friends aren't that big chested! ...Okay, maybe they are but...No, this is not an excuse to take Homu-nee on a date! Stop messaging Ann-chan! Moh! ...Okay, fine. I'll get you a souvenir..." She got as she then hung up and pocketed her phone.
"What was that about?" Homura asked with a raised eyebrow.
Asuka however just sighed. "Nothing. Just Akira-kun asking me to sell the medal since Boss is getting him to work all day." She answered.
The tan skinned girl in response nodded to that before remembering another part mentioned. "...What was that about you and me being on a date then?" Homura then asked with a raised eyebrow once more.
"Akira-kun trying to win the stupid bet." Asuka deadpanned with another sigh. "Now enough of that, they should be coming any time now." She then got out as she looked at the school. "Hanzō Academy, it feels pretty good being back." She soon admitted as she stretched her arms in a relaxed manner.
"You know, I thought my first time here might've been breaking in to kill all your friends but this so much better." Homura casually admitted.
Asuka in turn sweatdropped to that. "'Cause of a Hebijo order or something Homu-nee?" She quietly whispered.
"Or revenge. Or to eventually steal that scroll...the, um...holy shit, I actually forgot what it was called." Homura realized in a surprised tone. "Man Sis, you really had an effect on me." She then admitted.
The brunette in response blinked to that. "...Is that a bad thing?" Asuka soon asked in concern. "Is she talking about the Super Secret Ninja Scroll?" She meanwhile thought in a curious manner.
"I dunno. But I'm happier right now, so I guess yes?" Homura replied with a shrug. "I mean I don't plan to go back to Hebijo." She then reminded.
The brunette in turn nodded to that. "...And you're still thinking about Jii-chan's suggestion?" Asuka soon asked in concern.
The tan skinned girl merely nodded back to that. "Yeah. But enough about that, I wanna meet your friends." Homura replied, wanting to change the subject.
"...Ok Homu-nee." Asuka responded as she two got closer to the school. "I messaged them earlier, but I didn't tell them about you being a shinobi Homu-nee." She then informed in a whisper.
"That's just borrowed time. I'm sure they're gonna find out eventually." Homura sighed out.
"What makes you think that?" Asuka soon asked in concern.
"Well, it's just...paranoia I guess. I mean, with everything going on I can't help but feel like it's going to happen eventually." Homura admitted.
"Homu-nee..." Asuka whispered in concern, however...
BOING! BOING! BOING!
"And then there's the fact that-" Homura soon continued, only to stop as a blank expression came across her face as she looked down to see a pair of hands grabbing onto her breasts.
"Nehehe~ Welcome back Asuka~" An excited and giddy voice out in a pleasant tone. "Man it's been sooooo long since I got a feel at these mammies of yours!" She then declared. "They feel a little different but that can be rectified very quickly Asuka!" She soon added in excitement.
This however caused the brunette in mention to sweatdrop. "I'm...I'm right here Katsu-nee." Asuka meekly got out as she waved to the blonde.
"Huh? Wait a minute, you're not Asuka." Katsuragi realized as she really felt the chest. "These feel slightly smaller." She then stated.
The brunette in turn groaned in slight annoyance to hearing that. "Katsu-nee..." Asuka got out in embarrassment.
Homura's eye merely twitched to that statement. "Smaller?" She thought in a slightly offended tone.
"Uh...sorry about that." Katsuragi apologized, although she still wasn't letting go. "Who's the new friend?" She soon asked in a curious manner.
"It's Homura and you must be the infamous Katsu-nee." Homura deadpanned, ignoring the girl squeezing her breasts.
Hearing instantly caused the blonde to gain proud smirk on her face. "Nehehe! I see my reputation precedes me." Katsuragi replied in a proud manner.
"That is not something you should be proud of in so many ways." Homura thought as she gave the girl a blank look.
"Asuka-chan!" A more childish female voice called out, causing the two roommates to turn to see a pink haired girl running up towards them while happily waving while a white haired pigtailed girl walk up behind them.
"Ah! Hibari-chan! Yagyū-chan! Long time no see!" Asuka happily replied.
Homura meanwhile blinked to the sight of the obvious youngest member of her roommate's friend. "Pink. A natural pinkette." She thought with a sweatdrop. "Also what is with her eyes?" She mentally asked herself.
"Asuka. You're back. It has been a while." Yagyū calmly greeted.
"And a chunni. You have some strange friends Sis..." Homura thought. "Though, it's not like I can say anything about it." She added in her head.
"I got all the stuffed animals you sent me! Thank you so much Asuka-chan!" Hibari happily declared as she hugged the brunette.
Asuka in response couldn't help but giggle at her friend's enthusiasm. "That's great! Glad to see you like them so much. I can go get more if you want." She then offered.
"How did you get all those stuffed animals?" Yagyū asked.
"I was at an arcade in Shibuya." Asuka replied.
"Oh." Yagyū got out with a simple nod. "...What's an arcade?" She soon asked.
Homura however sweatdropped to that. "Seriously? And I thought I was bad." She thought in disbelief to hearing this.
"Asuka-san!" Another voice called out.
Everyone turned around to see a long raven haired girl approach the group.
"Ikaruga-chan!" Asuka happily replied with a smile on her face.
Ikaruga in turn nodded to this as she smiled back and nodded. "It's good to see you again, I didn't expect you to come back so early." She replied in a whisper.
"I-I'm still doing my duties, I just thought I'd visit during Golden Week and introduce you to my new friend here." Asuka whispered back. "Although, Katsu-nee already knows all she needs about Homu-nee..." She then mentally added with a sweatdrop.
"Well, it's nice to meet you guys, the name's Homura Shikukage, I'm Asuka's roommate." Homura then introduced herself, ignoring the fact that she was being groped.
"My god, your breasts feel sooooo nice..." Katsuragi muttered out in amazement.
Homura merely rolled her eyes to that. "Asuka's mentioned you guys a lot and I thought I'd tag along to finally meet you all." She simply explained.
"Yeah, and I was getting a little homesick." Asuka added in a sheepish tone.
"Well, it is always a pleasure to see you Asuka." Ikaruga got out with a bow. "Even more so now than before."
"So, how have things been since I was away?" Asuka awkwardly asked as she then looked on as her roommate was still being groped. "Sorry Homu-nee." She mentally apologized.
"Hectic." Yagyū bluntly revealed while glancing down at her own chest.
"Really? Well, I guess it's a given. It's been a really hectic month for me too." Asuka stated. "Katsu-nee's been rough with all of you huh?" She soon guessed.
"Rough is a serious understatement." Ikaruga sighed out.
"...She...She touches you all a lot, doesn't she?" Homura muttered out.
"Yes..." Yagyū replied in her own blunt manner as she looked down at her own breasts. "...Me and Hibari have gone up a cup size and now Ikaruga's two cup sizes up now..." She then revealed.
The tan skinned girl in turn raised an eyebrow to that reveal. "...Ok, how?" Homura then questioned. "Breasts don't grow that fast." She soon stated in a serious tone filled with denial.
"They do when Katsuragi's involved..." Yagyū bluntly declared.
"Hey, why are you talking about it as if its a negative!" Katsuragi complained. "You should be thanking me for improving your already perfect bodies!" She then declared.
"Ugh...There is no way to control her..." Yagyū sighed out as the brunette suddenly recalled a conversation she had.
"Oh, I have an idea: We should get Katsu-nee laid!" Asuka innocently suggested, causing the tan skinned girl to gasp too hard and start coughing.
"...What do you mean by laid?" The Hanzō students asked as they tilted their heads in confusion.
Homura meanwhile really had to resist laughing out loud to her roommate saying that along with the reactions. "Oh man, even I wasn't that oblivious!" She thought in an amused tone.
Asuka meanwhile sweatdropped to that as she then went to her blonde friend's eye and whispered something before backing away. "That's what I mean Katsu-nee." She bluntly answered.
Katsuragi meanwhile was just blushing red with a silly grin on her face. "Nehehe~" She giggled in a giddy manner.
Homura however rolled her eyes to that. "Pervert..." She bluntly whispered in annoyance.
"Agreed." Yagyū muttered in agreement.
Grrr...
Suddenly, the group's stomach all growled at the same time.
"A-Anyway, how about we get something to eat?" Asuka soon suggested.
"Good idea, but first of all let go of me you psychotic breast-obsessed bi-" Homura started to yell out only for her roommate to cover her mouth.
"Homura-chan, shhhhhh!" Asuka whispered with a shush.
"Katsuragi-san, cut it out!" Ikaruga all but ordered in annoyance.
"Hibari knows somewhere we can all go! Follow me!" Hibari called out.
(Bon Appétit)
The restaurant Hibari brought them to was bustling with activity. It had such a bright and happy atmosphere, the girls couldn't help but smile as they entered.
Despite how busy it was, they got to the front of the line fairly fast. Everyone was so polite and happy, and all the smiles they gave them seemed so genuine.
It was actually triggering Homura's paranoia considering no way in effin' hell a place like this would not have dark secrets or something.
They also noticed that most of the waitresses had rather...large cup sizes.
Asuka and Homura couldn't help but wonder if there was a bias in the job interviews, though they didn't dwell on those thoughts for very long.
"Welcome to Bon Appetit~!" The waitress greeted in a cutesy manner. "How many of you are dining with us~?" She then asked.
"There's six of us." Homura and Ikaruga maturely answered in unison before looking at one another in a surprised manner.
"Um, only one group at a time please." The waitress stated.
"No no no no no no no! U-Uh, I'm part of the six...pair, group. I mean I'm with them." Homura quickly corrected, her air of maturity almost vanishing for the brief moment. "Ugh, this is probably why I'm not the Leader..." She then thought.
"Okay...well, you're lucky. A table for six just opened up so please allow me to guide you there." The waitress said.
"Thank you ma'am." Homura and Ikaruga once more replied in unison before looking at one another again.
"Uh..." Homura soon started in an awkward manner.
"Homura-san, please allow me to talk to the employees next time. It's quite rude of you to that." Ikaruga requested.
Homura in response nodded to this. "My apologies Ikaruga, it just happened to come out at the time." She replied with the same mature air around her.
"And please relax. This is an informal dinner." Ikaruga then stated. "You sound like you're speaking in front of an entire crowd instead of being amongst friends." She soon informed.
"Uh, sorry." Homura mumbled out as they followed the waitress to the table.
"Homura-chan and Ikaruga-chan were really in sync there though." Hibari giggled out.
"Yeah, but at least Ikaruga knows about timing." Katsuragi stated. "Why's Homura trying to sound like a middle-aged lady?" She then asked.
"M-Middle aged!?" Homura got out in an offended tone. "I did not sound like a middle-aged lady back there! I was trying to be a mature girl." She then declared.
"I dunno if anyone can act mature when the waitresses are dressed like that..." Katsuragi got out as she checked out one of the waitresses whose boobs were threatening to burst out of her dress. And it definitely looked like bras were not part of the uniform, exciting her more to the thought of it bursting out...
"I don't think there's anything mature about you, Katsuragi..." Yagyū bluntly sighed out.
"Hey, we have to enjoy our youth while we still can, right?" Katsuragi stated. "Oh, I am so getting a feel before we leave!" She declared with a fire in her eyes.
"Don't you even dare!" Homura and Ikaruga however demanded.
"Like mere words can stop the great Queen of Sexual Harassment!" Katsuragi called out in a proud tone.
However, Asuka and Homura shuddered at that as the memories of the King flashed in their minds as their eyes also twitched.
"A-Asuka-chan? Homura-chan? Are you okay?" Hibari asked in concern.
"Huh? What? Where am I?" Asuka got out as she looked around.
"Goddammit Ryuji! I mean, what?" Homura called out on reflex.
"You just froze up all of a sudden." Ikaruga informed as she frowned. "Did something happen?" She then asked.
"U-Um, nothing. Just...uh...you know, got a little distracted by something." Homura lied as she rubbed the back of her neck.
"Y-Yeah. I just saw a bird fly into a closed window." Asuka lied as well. "We're fine. It's okay." She then reassured.
The Hanzō girls looked at each other before shrugging. They'll keep an eye on the two of them just in case though as they looked at their menus.
"Order whatever you want. I'll cover the costs." Ikaruga soon stated.
"Thank you." Homura replied in a grateful manner.
"Yeah. Homura-chan doesn't have a job yet, so she probably pay for her own food." Asuka revealed before covering her mouth upon seeing her roommate's mood drop. "S-S-Sorry..." She soon apologized.
"I-It's okay. It just gives more motivation to find one." Homura tried to reply in a happy, determined tone.
"Homura-san, are you crying...?" Yagyū however questioned.
"They're tears of happiness." Homura told herself. "Happiness for a future brighter than vantablack." She then stated.
Yagyū decided not to press further and went back to looking through the menu to see if they served squid.
Soon enough, they gave their orders to the waitress and were talking amongst themselves to pass the time.
"Ramen! Ramen! Ramen!" Katsuragi chanted as she eagerly waited for her food.
"Oh, if you're ever in the city, there's this awesome ramen shop in Ogikubo." Asuka informed. "A friend took us there once and it had the best ramen!" She then declared.
"Ooooh~ A friend, huh?" Katsuragi got out as she wiggled her eyebrows. "Has little Asuka-chan finally gotten herself a boyfriend?" She then teasingly asked.
"Well, there's Akira-kun and Ryuji-kun and I guess Mishima-kun..." Asuka listed off before it hit her what the blonde was saying, who was giving her a sly look all throughout. "I-I-I mean they're the boys who are my friends! Just friends!" She soon corrected as the blonde laughed.
"Oh man, I really missed moments like these..." Katsuragi got out as she wiped the tears from her eyes. "I really hope you come home soon." She then added.
"...I'm not ready yet. There's still a lot I need to do. But as soon as it's done, I'll come home." Asuka assured. "I mean, you can survive a year without me...right?" She then asked.
"Well...I have my hobbies..." Katsuragi stated as she glanced over at the tan skinned girl and the pinkette.
"Uh Hibari, why did you order cake as your main?" Homura got out in an incredulous tone.
"Is there something wrong with that?" Hibari innocently asked.
"Well, there's the threat of diabetes." Homura awkwardly pointed out.
"..." Hibari only stared at the tan skinned girl with her odd-looking eyes.
"Or I'll just shut up and not tell you how you live your life." Homura added with a groan.
"Thank you, Homura-chan!" Hibari happily got out.
"How much cake are you gonna get?" Homura however had to ask.
"Hibari got a super big slice!" Hibari happily replied.
"So what, like the entire cake?" Homura joked.
"Yes!" Hibari once more replied, causing the tan skinned girl to gasp so hard she choked.
"Sheesh, she has as big a sweet tooth as Ann..." Homura thought as she tried to breathe. "I pray to every sweet shop that they don't visit one at the same time." She then added in her head.
Meanwhile, as Hibari was trying to help Homura breathe normally, Ikaruga and Yagyu were having a rather quiet discussion.
"What do you think of Homura-san?" Yagyū meanwhile whispered to their temporary leader.
"Homura-san seems like a nice girl. Considerate of others as well." Ikaruga whispered back with a smile on her face.
"She does. She is friends with Asuka after all and she's getting along with Hibari." Yagyū replied with a nod as she watched the tan skinned girl chat with the brunette and pinkette. "However...why do I have this feeling that there's something more to her." She meanwhile thought. "Did Hanzo-sama look into Homura's history before allowing her to be Asuka's roommate?" She then added to her thoughts.
"Something wrong Yagyū?' Homura meanwhile asked, calling the white haired girl out.
This in turn caused Yagyū to regain her focus. "Hm? Oh, just thinking about my food." She answered as she closed her uncovered eye. "I wonder when it's going to get here." She then got out.
However, just as she said that, their food started to arrive one by one.
"Just in time." Homura and Ikaruga replied in satisfaction.
"You still sound like a middle-aged lady!" Katsuragi called out.
"Gack!" Homura choked out while the ravenette just sighed.
"Katsu-nee..." Asuka got out in a disapproving tone as her food was placed in front of her.
"What?" Katsuragi got out in confusion before seeing her ramen arrive. "Finally!" She then sighed in excitement.
Ikaruga then looked at the tan skinned girl. "I apologize for Katsuragi-san's actions Homura-san." She got out.
"Don't. You'll wear out your throat." Homura muttered out in resignation. "In any case, let's enjoy our food." She then suggested.
"I agree." Ikaruga replied with a nod.
"Yay!" Hibari cheered out as her strawberry cake arrived.
"You eat too much sweets Hibari. Why not have some of my dried squid?" Yagyū meanwhile suggested and offered.
"Aw...but I trained really hard yesterday!" Hibari whined out.
"Trained?" Homura repeated while feigning ignorance.
"It's what we call studying." Ikaruga smoothly lied. "We have exams coming up soon after all." She then informed.
"Oh. Okay." Homura got out with a shrug, forgetting that last part as she smelled her meat.
Eventually, everyone was digging in.
"God, the food here is so good." Homura moaned in pleasure as she ate her steak.
"Hai, the food here is delicious." Ikaruga praised with a nod of agreement. "You made a good choice, Hibari-chan." She then added as she drank some of her green tea before having some of her kaiseki meal.
"Thank you, Ikaruga-san." Hibari happily replied as she kept eating.
"So, how's the big city?" Katsuragi soon asked as she slurped up some of her ramen. "Any other friends you'd like us to meet?" She then added to the question.
"Please do not answer her. She will surely inflict what she has done to us onto them." Yagyū warned as she nibbled on her dried squid on a stick.
"Well...You know about Akira-kun and Ryuji-kun. Oh, and Akira-kun has the cutest cat named Morgana-chan. And there's Mishima-kun, who is...an acquaintance." Asuka replied as she ate some of her own steak. "I probably shouldn't mention Ann-chan..." She thought.
"Already? Can I see a picture?" Katsuragi soon asked.
"Um, sorry, I haven't taken any photos with my friends yet." Asuka replied sheepishly. "But I'll send one to you as soon as I can." She then added in a reassuring tone.
"If I recall, you are going to Shujin Academy correct?" Ikaruga pointed out. "The school that was recently on the news due to that P.E. teacher." She then added.
That instantly brought down the mood. "Yeah that...that was unfortunate..." Homura muttered out.
"Did you have anything to do with it Asuka?" Katsuragi whispered to the brunette.
The brunette in response shook her head to that. "No, I wasn't involved in any way." Asuka whispered back.
"Really? You let him slip under your nose like that?" Katsuragi got out in disbelief.
"W-Well I only knew about him for a month and tried to make sure I stayed hidden for my mission." Asuka stammered out in a whisper. "But those Phantom Thieves got to him before I could act." She then added.
"Oh yeah, those guys that painted your school right? Hibari saw that on the news." Hibari then got out.
The tan skinned girl however sweatdropped. "Did she just refer to herself in third person?" Homura thought while listening in on the conversation.
"Yeah," Asuka replied with a nod to her Hanzō Academy friend's questions. "It really surprised me when I saw it." She awkwardly admitted.
"Same here." Homura then got out.
"Yes. However, I find something odd about this act of vandalism..." Ikaruga admitted.
To hearing that, Asuka nearly choked before coughing into her fist. "Wh-What do you mean?" She soon asked.
Ikaruga then gained a contemplating expression. "Well...Hm...No, forget it. It's just a theory I just came up with just now." She responded as she then shook her head.
"N-No, I'm interested! Wh-What do you think?" Asuka soon asked.
The ravenette then leaned in closer to her friend. "Well...to do such a thing overnight and with such coverage while leaving next to no evidence, I'm just thinking that there may be a shinobi besides you at Shujin." Ikaruga then whispered to her friend.
"R-Really? That's...That's interesting." Asuka replied in a slightly nervous tone.
"However, there is also a possibility that there are enough students to coordinate such an act. Please just disregard these deductions, it may not be related to your mission so I do not want you to follow false leads." Ikaruga sighed out. "Let's just enjoy this moment. We don't know when we'll get a chance like this again." She then suggested.
"Y-Yeah..." Asuka muttered out before taking a sip of her water.
"Shujin's kind of a mess right now." Homura meanwhile admitted. "Though that's gonna be changing soon thanks to me and my newly formed disciplinary committee." She then revealed with a proud smile on her face.
"Oh, you plan to start a disciplinary committee at Shujin Homura-san?" Ikaruga asked in a curious tone.
Homura in response slurped up some ramen and gulped it down as she nodded to that. "Yeah, wanted to help the school get better in some way after the incident with Kamoshida." She casually replied. "It's going to be starting up after Golden Week." She then revealed.
To that, Ikaruga couldn't help but smile at that. "Well Homura-san, I wish you the best of luck for your committee." She replied in an encouraging manner.
"And I wish you to be strong enough to survive another month with the Groping Queen." Homura replied. "Maybe you should try and dominate her somehow." She then suggested.
"D-Dominate her?" Ikaruga stammered out with a crimson blush on her face.
Homura however giggled to that. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding." She casually replied while waving it off. "Unless..." She then began in a curious manner.
"Do I look like the type of person to do such a thing?" Ikaruga began before seeing the raised eyebrow on the tan skinned girl. "Please don't answer that." She soon requested.
Homura merely giggled some more to that as she got closer. "Give it some thought though, do you really wanna keep dealing with Katsuragi's perverted antics?" She then whispered in a more tempting manner.
To that question, Ikaruga blushed slightly as she gained a far off expression.
"Ikaruga, are you thinking perverted thoughts?" Katsuragi spoke up, snapping the acting leader out of her thoughts.
"O-Of course not!" Ikaruga stammered out with a blush on her face.
"She was totally thinking it though." Homura meanwhile thought in amusement and a smirk on her face while going back to eating.
"Yagyū-chan, what did Homura-chan mean by that?" Hibari meanwhile asked in an innocent manner.
The white pigtailed girl meanwhile blushed as well to the question. "N-Nothing! Please continue eating!" Yagyū soon requested in a flustered manner before glaring at the tan skinned girl. "Homura, please don't make Katsuragi level suggestions..." She soon requested in a low tone.
"It was only a joke." Homura quietly replied. "...Unless..." She then began.
"Stop. Please." Yagyū sighed out as the day continued on.
(5/3, Afternoon)
Unfortunately, the day had to end some time so the Hanzō Elites decided to see the two off at the station.
"I hope you visit us again soon." Hibari requested as the brunette was just finishing up a round of hugs she was giving her friends.
"I'll try Hibari-chan." Asuka replied. "But...I'm going to be really busy." She then pointed out in a whisper.
"Well...I hope you get it done soon. We do really miss you, Asuka." Yagyū admitted. "Some more than others." She then added as she glanced towards the blonde.
"I'll do my best to keep in contact." Asuka replied. "I'll miss you all too."
"Don't worry about me, Asuka. I have other ways to fulfill my needs." Katsuragi assured.
The brunette meanwhile sighed as she knew what this meant. "Please don't bully the others too much and make them even bigger, Katsu-nee..." Asuka pleaded as she gave the blonde the biggest puppy dog eyes she could muster.
"...Alright. But can I get one last grope before you leave?" Katsuragi soon asked in a slight begging tone.
This in turn caused the others to sweatdrop at the request. "Asuka..." Homura got in concern.
"No." Asuka bluntly answered.
"Oh come on!" Katsuragi begged.
"No is no, Katsu-nee." Asuka bluntly declared once more.
"Please..." Katsuragi once more begged.
"No!" Asuka demanded in annoyance while tapping her foot.
"Ppppppppppplllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." Katsuragi once again in a more desperate manner.
"...Resistance...failing..." Asuka thought as she visibly struggled, her overt niceness starting to take over.
"Asuka-san, do not give in! You must show her strength!" Ikaruga called out.
"Asuka, our train's gonna be here soon." Homura meanwhile informed. "Sis, you must find strength in your resolve." She thought.
"...I'm sorry, Katsu-nee. But my answer is still n-KYAAAAAA!" Asuka once more declared, however...
BOING! BOING!
Asuka suddenly remembered that the blonde wasn't the type to take no for an answer when it came to groping.
"I miss these mammies so much!" Katsuragi cried out as she rubbed her face in Asuka's boobs.
"ASUKA!" Homura exclaimed as she tried to pull the blonde off her roommate, the others soon joining after to help. "LET GO, YOU MOLESTER PSYCHO BITCH!" She demanded in anger.
"Katsuragi-san! Stop these antics this instant!" Ikaruga demanded.
"NO!" Katsuragi sobbed out as she was finally pulled off, just in time for the train to arrive. "ASUKA!" She cried out as she was dragged away.
"Hurry and get on! Get the fuck on the train!" Homura shouted out as they dived into a train car just as the doors opened.
"Good-bye!" Hibari meanwhile called out as the ravenette and white haired girl tied up the breast-loving girl.
"See you guys again!" Asuka called back as she soon took in deep breaths while she and her roommate sat down in some open seats just as the door closed and the train started moving. "I told you Homu-nee...she's persistent..." She soon got out with an awkward giggle.
"No kidding." Homura breathed out. "...I missed you calling me Homu-nee..." She soon confessed. "But, we have to hide our sister-like relationship." She then reminded herself.
"But why though?" Asuka soon asked.
"Well...um...er...Look, I'm just not ready for that type of affection to be shown in public." Homura answered before leaning her head on the brunette's shoulder. "Now, let me rest a bit." She soon requested.
(5/3, Evening)
(Shibuya, Shin Megami Apartment Complex)
The two entered the apartment and instantly went for the couch, collapsing onto it and letting out a breath in unison.
"I feel like I just went through the castle again..." Homura groaned out. "Fuck, that was physically exhausting, mostly from Katsuragi. Ikaruga, Yagyū and Hibari were a breath of fresh air though." She then admitted.
"Why?" Asuka meanwhile asked in a curious manner.
"Because my friends are a bunch of nutjobs." Homura sighed out as she sat up.
"Well, I haven't met them yet so I wouldn't know." Asuka got out.
"Still though, that was...surprisingly peaceful. Apart from the end." Homura admitted in an awkward manner. "I was expecting something horribly wrong happening like my acquaintances seeing me or a Yōma attack, maybe even somehow stumbling into another Palace." She then added.
"Well not everything that can go wrong will go wrong." Asuka pointed out. "So, what did you think of my friends?" She then asked in a curious manner.
"Well...instead of psychos you have a single pervert, a mature senior, a chunni and pretty childish girl but other than that, they're really great people." Homura replied. "Also, your friend Ikaruga...she has a fire affinity like me right?" She then guessed all of a sudden in a serious tone.
Blinking, Asuka soon nodded. "Yeah. Ikaruga-chan is fire, Katsu-nee's wind, Yagyū-chan is ice and Hibari-chan's lightning." She then listed off.
"Well, that almost takes care of all the other elements available in the Metaverse..." Homura thought. "I wonder if we'll meet shinobi with nuke and psychic as their element." She then openly asked.
Asuka however shrugged her shoulders. "I'm not sure." She replied. "So what about your friends Homu-nee? What are their affinities" She then asked in a curious manner.
Homura in response blinked to that as she then went into a thinking position. "Well for Yomi, she's wind like Katsuragi. For Hikage, she's actually poison. For Mirai, I guess she's metal since she mainly uses all forms of gun if that makes sense. And lastly for Haruka, I guess water in a sense since she's always using chemicals in liquid form." She listed off after thinking about it.
"And you being fire Homu-nee." Asuka then stated in a manner full of interest. "Man, your friends sound awesome like mine." She then got out.
"They do certainly have their quirks though." Homura awkwardly giggled out while scratching her cheek with a single finger.
"It's just a shame that they probably won't get along cause of the stupid Good and Evill fight..." Asuka soon muttered in a disappointed tone.
To that, Homura also frowned to that reminded. "Yeah...Wonder how that started..." She then got out.
"A difference in beliefs?" Asuka soon guessed in a more serious tone.
The tan skinned girl in turn narrowed her eyes to that guess. "...That sounds like it could be accurate..." Homura responded in a serious tone. "Still, the Good and the Evil have killed each other, lost loved ones and such. That hatred will not be going away anytime soon." She then stated in a serious tone.
BZZT! BZZT!
Hearing that, both girls took out their phones.
[Shut7heFUp: Sold the medal off yet?]
[TheWildJ0ker: No.]
[SushiRoll23: What happened?]
[TheWildJ0ker: Didn't I call you today about it!?]
[SushiRoll23: Oh yeah. ^^"]
[FireGirl20: Didn't you say something along the lines of "It can't be that hard."]
[TheWildJ0ker: Screw you, Homura.]
[FireGirl20: How cruel Akira. I'll be keeping my eye on ya when I start enforcing discipline at school.]
[TheWildJ0ker: ...Are you joking?]
[FireGirl20: You'll have to see in the future.]
[Shut7heFUp: Hey guys, did you see!? It was on the news!]
[SushiRoll23: Homu-nee, did you post on the group chat!?]
[FireGirl20: About what?]
[Shut7heFUp: You didn't see it? Shujin was on the news today! No way Principal Potato Meat gonna be able to play dumb after that!]
[TheWildJ0ker: That portly man's gonna lose his job hopefully.]
[Shut7heFUp: Actually, they interviewed him. He's takin' credit for Homura's committee thing.]
[FireGirl20: Dammit, should've expected that. I'll make sure that they know the truth if they happen to interview me.]
[Sweetkat06: Hey, I saw it too.]
[Sweetkat06: They didn't reveal Shiho's name, did they?]
[Shut7heFUp: Nope. Double checked. Media ain't cruel enough to reveal a victim's name.]
[Shut7heFUp: Somehow the Shiho video's gone too. Like it was never online in the first place.]
[Sweetkat06: Ryuji...once it's out there, you can never take it down. We were taught this in middle school.]
[Shut7heFUp: I'm serious though!]
[FireGirl20: Mysterious Benefactor?]
[TheWildJ0ker: Maybe. But it hasn't been forgotten. Shiho still needs to skip town.]
[Sweetkat06: Well, at the very least, Shiho will never have to relive it in video form. Hopefully.]
[SushiRoll23: Yeah...I think we should change the subject now.]
[FireGirl20: So, we're meeting up the day after tomorrow?]
[TheWildJ0ker: If I can sell the medal tomorrow.]
[TheWildJ0ker: If I can't, it's on your head Asuka.]
[SushiRoll23: WHAT!?]
[TheWildJ0ker: And by that I mean, you do it. No exceptions.]
[TheWildJ0ker: Anyway, night. I'll contact everyone if I succeed in selling the medal.]
"Still, how in the world did the video vanish from the internet?" Asuka meanwhile wondered.
(?)
"ACHOO!" An orange haired girl sneezed out. "Hehe, everyone's so confused~" She then got out in a satisfied manner. "...Now if this program would just detect the other 5%..." She then grumbled to herself as she typed away.
Maybe she should just take down entire sites for possessing CP and wipe their servers...
Actually, she could really go for cheese pizza right now.
(Shibuya, Shin Megami Apartment Complex)
Homura meanwhile shrugged her shoulders. "Meh, probably some magic bullshit with his loli guards or something..." She soon guessed.
Asuka however sweatdropped to that suggestion. "I don't think Caroline-chan and Justine-chan can do that." She thought to herself.
"Well, no worrying about it now." Homura then decided. "What are we gonna do tomorrow?" She soon asked.
"Er...I guess I'll go to work at Leblanc to make it up to Akira-kun..." Asuka got out. "Maybe it'll get Boss off his back for a little bit so he can sell the medal." She then added.
"Good idea. Maybe tomorrow I'll spend my day at the gym or something." Homura muttered out as she took out her phone. "How much is a gym membership?" She then asked.
"600 yen a session, I think." Asuka answered. "Are you sure you can afford that?" She soon questioned.
"I'm sure I can scrounge up 600 yen when I need it, but I'll probably train in a forest if I can't." Homura replied.
"I can always just give you the money for it. It's fine." Asuka stated.
"Sis, why do you think I'm trying to find work? I don't want to be some leech sucking you dry." Homura got out. "I want to use the money I earned and the more I borrow from you, the worse I feel." She then explained.
"Leblanc's still on the table." Asuka then suggested.
"No. I am my own woman and I do not need the help of others to get a job. I just gotta get my shit together." Homura declared. "Homura Shinkukage will not allow the world to get the better of her!" She then added to the declaration.
"It would be more convincing if you were standing up." Asuka giggled out in amusement, seeing her roommate was still laying on the couch.
Homura blinked before standing up and putting her hands on her hips. "Homura Shinkukage will not allow the world to get the better of her!" She declared...again, causing the brunette to burst out in laughter. "I walked right into that one." She then awkwardly admitted.
"I think you're just a little tired Homu-nee, we did have a fun day today." Asuka pointed out. "Come on, let's clean ourselves up and get some sleep." She then suggested.
"Sure, I'll get the bath ready." Homura replied with a nod as she went to the bathroom.
"You know, for a second there, I thought you were gonna say bath bombs." Asuka admitted as she held her chest as she went to her roommate's things.
"Only when we need them, Sis. Only when we need them." Homura assured as she checked how much shampoo they still have.
"Right." Asuka offhandedly replied as she took some money out and placed it in her roommate's bag. "A gift from me to Homu-nee." She thought to herself.
"What are you doing?" Homura asked as she popped her head out of the bathroom.
"Hm? Nothing Homu-nee~" Asuka innocently replied as she started stripping herself down in a slow and alluring manner.
Homura meanwhile blushed slightly from witnessing this. "S-Sis..." She stammered out.
"What?" Asuka got out in confusion. "I'm just getting undressed." She then pointed out.
"I-I know but...you're doing it kinda slowly..." Homura responded.
Asuka meanwhile tilted to head to that statement. "What are you talking about? I'm undressing at my...normal speed? It something wrong, Homu-nee?" She then asked.
"N-No." Homura muttered out. "Did those bath bombs affect my head or something?" She thought in distress.
"Distraction complete." Asuka meanwhile thought to herself in satisfaction before giggling. "You're so silly sometimes Homu-nee~" She then got out.
"Y-Yeah...just ol' silly Homura..." Homura mumbled out. "I-I'm gonna go into the tub now." She then decided as she went back into the bathroom.
"I'm coming too! Just give me a second!" Asuka got out as she threw off the last of her clothes before heading into the bathroom herself to see the tan skinned girl already in, soon getting in herself as well.
"S-Sorry Sis, I guess I'm a bit tired from today." Homura soon admitted.
Asuka in response nodded to this as she hugged her roommate from behind, pressing her breasts against her back. "Well, allow the steam of the bath water to clear your head and calm you down. Just relax, I'll wash you down for you." She softly got out in a tender manner.
"Y-Yeah..." Homura replied as she did as such and relaxed herself. "Soft..." She offhandedly thought in the quiet voice while her head dropped down slightly.
"...You know, I was really worried you wouldn't get along with my friends." Asuka admitted. "That...you'd hate them for having live that you never had a chance of getting. But...I know them, what troubles they've gone through just stand there. I...I can't compare, I just accepted my role as Jii-chan's granddaughter but they had to fight to be shinobi. But...you didn't know any of that. I can't imagine what you've gone through, but I know deep down that we all have the same goal: To be stronger to achieve our dreams. And I hope if they find out about your past that you'll all get along just like today."
No response.
"...Homu-nee?" Asuka got out, starting to get worried about her roommate not saying anything.
"Zzz..." Homura suddenly snored with a soft smile on her face.
"Ah, Homu-nee fell asleep." Asuka awkwardly stated. "I know I said she can relax but that doesn't mean go to sleep." She then added as she couldn't help but giggle. "Come on, Homu-nee let's get you to bed." She then got out as she lifted her roommate out of the tub as she then dried themselves off.
"Mmm...Sis...cute...protect...kill..." Homura mumbled out.
"Aw~!" Asuka thought, resisting the urge to squeal at the cuteness as she finished drying off as they got to the bedroom. "...Wait, kill?" She then thought in confusion as she leaned in. "What do you mean Homu-nee? Kill who?" She softly whispered into the tan skinned girl's ear.
"I dunno...Anyone who hurts you...? I don't give a fuck..." Homura murmured as she snuggled closer. "So soft...my precious Asuka~" She then added.
Asuka meanwhile didn't know if she should be flattered or disturbed. "Remember Homu-nee...killing is the easy way out for the enemy..." She then whispered. "Unless they're Shadows..." She soon added.
Homura in response nodded to that. "Easy...way...out...bad..." She mumbled before shuddering. "Green...penis...Joker's stupid jokes...protect...innocence..." She then added in her sleep.
"Okay, let's get you to bed." Asuka decided as she threw the tan skinned girl over her shoulder, pressing the girl's breasts against the back of her head.
"Sleepy time, cuddle time..." Homura got out.
"You are really chatty in your sleep." Asuka muttered out as she laid her roommate down before joining her. "Well, good night." She then added as she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Save Game... Quit!
Okay, whew! Done! Next up is the Wilton Hotel event and the official formation the Phantom Thieves then meeting Yusuke. There's more twists and turns coming up so stay tuned! Oh also, Katsuragi calling Homura a middle-aged old lady is about formal language in Japanese, or teineigo. I only skimmed the article about it, but I think of it like someone overusing "desu" and "-masu". Kinda feels like we wrote something lost in translation.
UknownHero signing off, my friends!
