Review Shoutouts
The embodiment of Weirdness – Well I hope this new chapter answers your concerns. Hope you enjoy and always leave your thoughts.
The Storyteller993 – Well that development will be loonng in the making overtime. But still I hope you'll enjoy yourself.
GoldStar77 – I'm happy that you're enjoying my story and yeah given the type of story this is Nagamasa will eventually fall in that category but only on a particular route for those Majikoi-savvy fans you know which one I'm talking about.
But all in all, as for the potential for a Monshiro route… probably not with this story given that this one will ONLY deal with the first Majikoi game and not Majikoi S. But just know if and when I finish this one and it's routes. Majikoi S will be in my sights eventually.
Prologue – Part 3
Intensive Training
April 23rd, Thursday
To say I could barely sleep would be an understatement.
As I laid on the futon provided by the Kawakami Temple despite my best attempts to close my eyes and get some shut-eye my mind was racing with so many thoughts clouding my head.
Why was I here? What was the point of me being here?
And no matter what I did I couldn't figure it out. And without answers I eventually willed myself to get what little sleep I could.
And that feeling after my duel with Kazuko was still on my mind… That was… first kiss. And to have it happen like that of all things…
No, no, no, no, no… Now was not the time to think about things like that. But still that power surge I suddenly felt after it happened; my senses, my power, my… everything felt more clearer as is I had went up a "Level" in a video game.
Well no matter what all I know is since yesterday is that this place is not some ultra vivid dream I'm in nor do I remember going under for some kind of VR test so… this is my new life. No use denying it.
I look across to see that it's only 5:30 AM, but silly me I have no clue what time the monks at Kawakami wake up. And with no interest in returning to bed I get up and prepare the training clothes that Tesshin and his assistant Lu left for me.
I'm dressed and ready; after brushing my teeth and doing every other ancillary check over I open the door and begin to head out, but almost immediately I'm smothered…
Wait… smothered?!
"Mmmh!?" I find it hard to breath, but then a voice answers.
"Ara, normally I let only Yamato get away with antics like this. But since you're the newbie I'll chock it up to a mistake." I look up to see the red-eyed, voluptuous, waist-hair length raven beauty, Momoyo Kawakami in the flesh.
"Besides I usually can't play with Yamato until it's almost time for school, so I think I'll cheat for once…" Then she embraces me pulling me further into her bosom as I futilely struggle against her grasp.
"Well then roomie, you ready for your first day of morning training?" The familiarity in her voice made it sound like she did this to every new entry to the temple.
Finally releasing me, I once again felt that feeling of power rising through me once again after that little "tease" from Momoyo.
"Well, let's head outside. You have to earn your way around here." She said as we began to walk outside.
"I suppose we've never been introduced, my name is Azai Nagamasa." I introduced myself.
"Umu, I heard all about you from the fight with my little sister. The name's Kawakami Momoyo." She returned the favor. I should've known she'd be there to watch the fight.
As we head outside I watch as many other monks are in the middle of the Temple grounds doing their morning training routine. There I meet a rather tall but fit man by the name of Lu Yi, the assistant master of the temple.
"Ah, good morning you two. Azai-san, it's good to see you up so early. You might have a good future here. I'm Lu Yi, the assistant master in charge here at Kawakami Temple." The Chinese martial artist introduced himself.
"Now while Master Tesshin has told me of your previous experience with martial arts and swordsmanship; when it comes to Kawakami-style martial arts your body will have to be reconditioned in a way." Lu-sensei begins to explain.
"You mean like how someone who plays basketball has to recondition themselves to do another sport entirely like soccer." I surmise.
"Exactly. Both sports may share some similarities, but overall they tax different parts of the body. For you to learn the Kawakami-style, your body will have to go beyond the athletic ability it has right now." Lu-sensei continues.
"But first, the start to good training is a good breakfast. I believe Kazuko is in the middle of her own breakfast right now, you'll be joining her later as you start your training. Follow me." With that I followed Lu-sensei as Momoyo went off to do whatever it was she usually does.
We made it to the dining hall. To see that Kazuko was in the middle of bringing out the last of the breakfast trays one for her and… is that one she has in her left hand for me?
"Oh Lu-sensei and… N-Nagamasa-san…" She said my name with a slight nervous stutter. As I look at her I can't help but find how cute she looks as her cheeks are dusted with a slight pink color.
"Kazuko, you'll be helping Azai-san with his training starting today. After breakfast, you'll first be joining her for her daily run." Lu-sensei explained.
Wait, doesn't Kazuko's runs usually have pulling… Oh no…
"Are you sure he's ready for 4 tires sensei? He only just started." Kazuko asked.
"Of course not, he'll be starting with one, but his goal is to keep up with you despite the handicap of you carrying four." Lu finished.
Great…
"Hurry now, you both have until 6:30 to finish breakfast and it's currently… 6:15. Best hurry now, but not fast enough you puke." With that Lu-sensei leaves us both alone in the dining hall.
With just me and Kazuko left we both take our seats and give our thanks for the food, and we begin to dig in. Having a staple of Japanese breakfast for the first time I've come to have an appreciation for their diet.
After finish both of us head out to meet with Lu-sensei in the courtyard where he has a spare tire waiting for me.
"Good you're both here. Here Azai-san, I'll tie this around you." After a quick stretch to loosen my body, he then ties the tire around my waist as I watch Kazuko do the same. Huh, she's not gonna wear all 4 she usually has?
"For now, I want you to make a quick run around the courtyard with this. To have a sense of how much you can do." Lu-sensei tells me. With that I begin dragging the tire behind me.
The power increase from before is still there with me and I begin at first with a good jog, but slowly but surely I begin to feel things get easier. But this tire is certainly not your average car tire.
Are these trucking tires I wonder?
But I eventually finish the lap and make it back to Kazuko and Lu, "Good, good. It seems you can keep a steady pace. Your training for today is to keep up at least 100 yards with Kazuko until it's time for school."
1 Hour Later…
"Hah… ha… hah…Kazuko… how do you… do this every day?" Scratch that, this is not easy…
"Hehe, you get used to it. And I got to say Nagamasa, you're doing pretty good to keep with me on your first run." She said as he turned to face me. That usual energetic smile plaster her face. As I saw the sun bearing down around her it was really hard not to stare.
"Isn't school also in like… an hour?" I saw continuing to run.
"Hm?" She realized tilting her head back. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Don't worry, we'll just have to make it to school early so we can hit the showers."
I suppose that makes sense. I guess that's why Kazuko is still able to make it on time to class despite her constant training. Damn this girl must have good luck, that or she's got this down to a science somehow.
Oh, and for your information right now, we're BOTH dragging four tires on our backs. After our laps with the one tire, Lu sensei thought it best to try and "finish on a good note" by adding more.
The power increase has helped me compensate, but this really is a struggle running constantly, not stopping one bit. I'm surprised Kazuko doesn't seem to take a break at all.
"Come on Nagamasa, it's not that far if we just put our minds to it!" Kazuko said energetically. How can I say 'No' to that face you know?
"Alright… no stopping right? Let's go!" And for the first time I finally get a quick burst of speed to and then I hear Kazuko behind me as she catches up.
With that we both eventually made it to school and hit the showers from there we headed for our first period class. But today was special.
Because it was physical fitness day today meaning we'd be given our physical and checkup by Umeko-sensei.
Waiting in line I could hear some of the others guy talking as we were all being weighed and heighted.
"I knew it! I've stopped growing!" Moro said as he came from the curtain.
"You should work out like me. The force of my grip is off the scale." Gakuto comes out with his usual muscle routine.
"But wouldn't being more muscular make it harder to grow taller?" Moro inquired.
While the others bantered about their results, me and Yamato got to talking.
"So I heard the old man is letting you stay at the Kawakami Temple?" Yamato said.
"Yeah, apparently when I got transferred this is how my parents planned it out for me to stay with him, not only that but he wants me to train with them too." I explained.
"Eh, the principal wants you to train with him? Seriously?!" Yamato seemed to be shocked, did neither Momoyo or Kazuko tell him?
Well I was with Kazuko, so I guess Momoyo probably gave him some lazy answer.
As some of the others were getting their grip strength measured one of the other members of the Kazuma Family walked by, Minamoto Tadakatsu. The tallest of the bunch and among the guys probably just as strong as Gakuto.
As he walked by it seems he recognized me and nodded his head I guess as a way to say 'Hello'.
"Nice to meet you Minamoto-san, I know I introduced myself to the class the other day but I'm Azai Nagamasa; hope we get along." I said putting my hand out.
Surprisingly seemed a little surprised that someone wasn't trying to avoid him or scared of his looks and he returned the gesture.
"Yeah, nice to meet you." He said simply as he walked off.
"He's a good guy, but unfortunately a look of people avoid cause he seems to come off as scary. But I hear he donated today." Yamato said trying to help his friends image.
"Don't get me wrong, I just didn't want a pocket full of pennies." Tadakatsu replied.
After Kuma and Shimazu were done with the latter being measured by Moro (bless his heart) Naoe was up next for his physical.
"Everyone after you've taken your measurements head outside. You'll do your fitness tests after the girls have completed there's." Umeko said, but that just triggered a flood of the guys rushing outside.
But me, Yamato and the others who hadn't were forced to stay in line just by the threatening look of Umeko-sensei alone.
With Yamato done I walked up straight as an arrow remembering all the doctor's appointments I always went too.
"Oh, I didn't even have to tell you straighten up. You already show great promise." Umeko-san said.
"I'm used to always getting my monthly check up. So how am I Umeko-sensei?" I ask her.
"Hmmm… 186 centimeters, 6 feet exactly. Your stance is excellent. Now your weight… 57kg. Keep this up and you'll live a heathy lifestyle." Umeko-san praised me.
"Thank you sensei." I say.
"Lastly your chest is… 41 inches. That's that. You may wait outside." Umeko-sensei tells me as I join the rest of the guys outside who are… Of course watching the girls do their physicals, seems I came out just as they started their run.
"You lot are pathetic. You guys call yourselves horny. I've already gotten loads of pictures!" That was said by the resident Class 2-F pervert, Ikurou Fukumoto. A member of the Media Club, you never saw him without his camera. The quintessential pervert I always called him.
"You're always on about sex aren't you, Yonpachi?" Moro pointed out the obvious.
"Just you wait Moro, I'll make bank and live it out in brothels." Yonpachi proudly proclaims.
"Why do you always say the worst things in a cool voice?" Moro said worriedly.
Remembering back on how Yonpachi got his nickname I seem to remember it having to do with the guys trying to talk about sex and Ikurou just kept upping the ante more and more… Well I am in an eroge so it's to be expected.
"But still the girls in out class sure are high-leveled." Yonpachi says.
"Yeah, they're pretty hot." Yamato replies.
Yonpachi now like an announcer begins to point the many beauties in Class 2-F, all from Kazuko. Miyako, Mayo and Chika. But in my own mind I remember an image of Chris, but I'll keep my mouth shut on that one.
"All of them are amazing. It's like a horde of pheromones in the air. It's so tempting. So what do you think, Yamato? You should get a good look too. You as well… new guy." Gakuto finally recognizes my presence.
Guess me whole kiss incident still rubs him the wrong way, but didn't he say he preferred older women and had no like for Kazuko like that? Eh, who knows with his muscle head.
For me though… Who do I look at?
…
…
Thinking on it… my eyes surprisingly drift towards Miyako, now I know she's normally seen as "Yamato's woman", but I have to admit here figure looks amazing and she is rather beautiful.
Looking over I try to follow Yamato's eyes; seems he decided to watch Wanko as she dashed around. Looking back, I watched Miyako as by some way of the gods we locked eyes for a moment and being friendly I waved at her.
And even more to my shock from here it seems to me she nods at me. Given her disposition I expected her to completely ignore me, so that's honestly a shock eventually Wanko drags her off to race with her.
Eventually we watch as it seems Miyako hits Wanko, probably disciplining her given the "training" they put her through.
"Oh, Wanko's getting hit by Miyako." Kazama points out.
"Guess she did something bad again." Gakuto joins in.
"It says in this book that you're supposed to scold her if she does something bad." Yamato replies as he pulls out a dog training book.
Wow, they really the whole way with that bit didn't they? I mean jeez though… but at the end of the day it's kind of what makes Wanko cute and… No, no, no… Stop that! Bad brain!
There's no way these girls could like me like that; I'm just a stranger to them. I don't have the same connection as they do.
"Yamato, that book's like a bible for you isn't it?" Moro smiles wearily.
"Shiina's pretty cheerful when she's around you guys." Ikurou says.
"But you'd know a lot about the girls, huh?" Yamato asks
"But of course, I even have measurements to rank their affection points among you guys." The resident pervert points out. "Like for you Yamato, this is your chart."
Ikurou then pulls out a chart with Yamato's face showing a graph with the X-axis showing how much a certain girl sees him as a friend, while the Y-axis shows how much a certain girl might be in 'Love' with him.
Among the participants, Miyako is off the charts , while Momoyo is somewhere in the low to middle of 'Love' while maxed out on 'Friendship.' The others are in the middle of the round.
"I even got one for you Nagamasa." Yonpachi says as he takes out another.
"Huh?" I say utterly confused. How could he have a sheet for the girls affection for me when I've only been here a DAY!?
As he takes it out we see that to my shock once more; like with Momoyo and Yamato. Kazuko is the one with the highest friendship, but right in the middle of the 'Love' axis. With her sister right in the left hand corner on the 'Friend' axis with little progress in 'Love.'
Chika and Mayo, are in the middle of 'Friends' while only a little bit on the 'Love' axis. Some of the other girls like Umeko-sensei is low on the 'Love' axis with little to nothing on the 'Friend' axis, Koyuki and Oshitari from Class 2-S don't register.
"That's another shocking graph. I didn't think you'd have these kinds of results Azai-san." Yamato says looking at the results.
"Yeah… me neither." I say nursing the bridge of my nose.
Eventually we all took a look at Gakuto's graph at his insistence something about seeing if 'He was any higher then me' or some such nonsense and in typical Gakuto fashion he registered very lowly among the girls.
"Geh…" It was almost as if you could hear a man's spirit crack in two.
"Man… that's why I hope it's nice for the transfer student from Germany is a hot girl." Gakuto said trying to pick his spirits up.
Afterwards, all of us guys went on to do our own fitness tests with the 100-meter dash to start. Safe to say afterwards, I was a bit sweaty, but no sweat off my bones.
Eventually the day ended, and I left with the Kawakami sisters to go back to the temple. At night time I learned most of the monks and students here have their free time, although you do have a set chore they have to complete.
Of course, that also included me and Kazuko as well. For both of us, we were made to sweep the outside of the temple walkway. Why does feel like some kind of anime cliché? Eh, I'm probably thinking too much about it.
"You did pretty good this morning Nagamasa! I was surprised when you almost overtook me." Kazuko says as she's sweeping.
"Nah, at the end of it all you still got me. I'm just not used to things yet. Especially training like you guys do. Also, isn't that other transfer supposed to come tomorrow?" I pointed out Chris' arrival for tomorrow.
"Oh yeah, and this time I plan to give her the same treatment I gave you! And this time I'll win!" She said pumping herself up.
"Ahaha, I'll cheer for you then." I return the favor as we continue sweeping.
Eventually we finished and I headed for bed. Just as I was getting comfortable, I heard a knock on the door.
Sliding it open I was once again greeted by the best martial artist, Momoyo standing right before me.
"Usu, roomie. Got enough for one more?" She asks making herself at home.
"And why are you camping out in my room?" I ask her.
She gets an incredulous look as she complains, "A beautiful girl comes into a guy's room and the first reply you give is like I'm some annoying sister? Boring…" But then she takes out a thingof… hanafuda cards?
"And the cards?" I ask.
"What can't have a little fun?" She says then we hear another knock opening the door we see that it's Kazuko who's come to join us now.
"Kazuko?" I say surprised.
"Nagamasa, Big Sis? What're you doing here?" Kazuko asks.
"We were about to play a game want to join?" Momoyo asks her impressionable sister.
"A card game? Sure!" She agrees and now I've got two beautiful girls in my room who want to play card games.
I can't complain really… but there's only so much nervousness a teenage male body can take!
Giving up, we eventually make a small circle around my bed.
"So senpai… what's the game?" I ask Momoyo.
"Hehe… Genji Koi-Koi!" She says with a slight sultry accent causing both me and Kazuko to blush.
"Genji Koi-Koi!? But Sis… Nagamasa is…" Kazuko panics.
"Eh? What's Genji Koi-Koi?" I reply.
"So? It's a fun game of luck and skill. What? Scared?" Momoyo says mocking.
"I-I'm not scared of anything!" Kazuko tried to sound brave, but that stutter said otherwise. Well seems like I'm outnumbered.
"So what're the rules? I ask Momoyo.
"The rules are the same as Koi-Koi. But after you've taken away all of someone's points… you have to take off an article of clothing. Kind of like strip poker, but with hanafuda." Momoyo explains.
Okay, so this kind of reminds me of the Koi-Koi minigame I used to play with one of my video games in my world. Oh what was it… at I'm losing it. But right now is more important.
"Alright then, so which one of you girls is up first?" I ask.
"I-I go first! And I'll win and it'll be you whose embarrassed!" Kazuko pumps herself up.
"Alright then, I'll make you eat those words." Momoyo then deals the cards back and forth between me and Kazuko.
There we both begin matching cards here and there with no real progress so far until…
"Got it! Tsukimi-zake!" Matching up my last moon and sake cards I was able to match them up.
"Gah! That means I'd only have 4 points left!" Kazuko panicked as she only had some combos, but no Yaku pairings of her own..
"Too bad! Koi-Koi!" Continuing the game, Kazuko got lucky at one point and scored a Hanami-zake pairing. Leaving us tied.
With one last shot for both of us, we kept going until…
"Game over! Inoshikachō! That's done!" And with that Kazuko had lost all of her points.
"Noooo! I lost…" Kazuko said sadly.
"Kazuko it's fine you don't have to… you know." I tried to dissuade her from having to go through with taking anything off.
"No… you won fair and square so I'll… do it." Kazuko then nervously begins to remove her shirt, and as she does it reveals her wearing a training top which exposes her midriff. I can't help but look at her in the moment.
"Ooh… looks like you've got an admirer, Kazuko. Nagamasa can't take his eyes off you." Momoyo points out my stupid look forcing me to turn around.
"This is… a little embarrassing." Kazuko sounds just as nervous as I feel.
"Well, well I think that's about all she can do. I'll take her place. Just know I'm pretty good at Koi-Koi, even if my luck is down I'll always pull it off!" Momoyo declares.
"We'll see about that." Ooh, could this be it? Could I see what Yamato hasn't seen yet. Or at least a PG-13 version?
We gather the cards and shuffle them again, as Momoyo deals them out again. We both go at it once more. And this time Momoyo does put up a good fight. Getting a Tsukifuda pairing. Giving her 4 points.
"Oh, and so my path to victory appears!" Momoyo cheers her early streak.
"Heh, not while I can help it." Continuing on eventually we came down to the last few cards and neither of us had scored any major pairings to win.
Until…
"Got it! Akatan, Aotan no Chōfuku! Done!" I announce the 10-point pairing as Momoyo looked vexed.
"Haah… I lost… Guess I got to pony up… Now then, which to do?" Momoyo thinks about what to take off until she has it. Still wearing her black vest, me and Kazuko watch as she unzips it and begins to unhook what seems to be… her bra!?
"Aaah, that feels good!" She says feeling relieved and free.
"Oooh, I wish I could be like nee-san like that…" Kazuko felt deflated knowing the status between her and Momoyo's physical features.
"Good one kid, so? What do you think?" Looking at her now Momoyo's cleavage was now exposed while wearing her black vest and even with it zipped up the location it was at was low enough so it wouldn't scratch her.
In other words, I could see plenty of it without it showing off it's more… perky parts ~ Hehehe…
Then sudden a low bell could be heard throughout the temple.
"Aah, looks like it's nap time. Let's go Kazuko. See you in the morning roomie." With that the two sisters were out.
As I lay on my futon I just couldn't help but think to myself…
"I love my new life…"
