Review Shoutouts
The embodiment of Weirdness – Yeah, I tried my best to incorporate other fight scenes, mostly the extended part where you see Kazuko use her naginata to do a flying kick was taken from the Dynasty Warriors 8 game where Zhao Yun fights Jiang Wei.
It's small but shows she's getting better.
The Storyteller993 – First answer. Yes, he will be apart of the family, but he'll be living at Kawakami Temple for the duration of the story and routes he takes.
Second answer. He will, patience grasshopper…
Third… Eh, I'll leave who you think Nagamasa's potential… "canon" girlfriend could be.
carriedfall51 – Well the family's not completely together, we're still missing one extremely nervous ventriloquist warrior still to come and Nagamasa isn't an official member… yet.
As for other characters, that will be as they come. For now I'm only going along with the prologue to the Majikoi game before the official "choosing a girl" comes.
As for other smaller characters, sure of course. The only issue is do I pursue those now at the END of this story? Or just wait until my Majikoi S routes (Which is when those characters like Iyo and Kosugi come along and are official love interests.)
ElBurritoBandido – Haha, happy I made your day and I hope you continue to enjoy my story as I continue along with the prologue.
Yeah, I know that feeling all too well myself of binge watching something. Just that… "Just… Just one more episode, that's all."
We'll see how Nagamasa does in that firestorm, I think you'll be surprised.
As for the blue bar, officially Samurai Maiden still used hearts, but with this I can switch them from say Blue for Friendship from Pink as Affection after they've hit 100% the first time. That's how that will work.
Prologue – Part 5
First Weekend
April 25th, 2009, Saturday
7:30 AM – Kawakami Temple
I slowly wake up a little bit later then usual, but no big difference really and with the weekend finally at hand trainees at the temple were given free time to themselves. No use in overtraining a body if that means they'll eventually shut down.
But for little old me, for this being my first weekend… I didn't really have any big plans. Given that I wasn't associated with the Kazama Family it's not like they'd invite me to anything.
Sure I was probably at least good acquaintances with the sisters, but it's not like that would mean much to naysayers like Miyako and Moro who aren't responsive to change.
And so on this great Saturday… with no school or training…
"I shall sleep in peace… Zzz…" As I once again lull back to bed…
"Zzz…" That is when my eyes shoot open wide hearing aa tired breathing next to me. In front of me is…!
"W-what the hell, Momoyo!? Again!? Why are you in my futon!?" I scream seeing her now laying in my futon next to me or faces just previously merely inches apart.
"Ara, is that what you say to a woman who you spent a passionate night under the covers with? ~" She said with a teasing voice. Her hair in a ponytail, wearing her night clothes of a short top and lounge shorts.
"You're lying. You probably just snuck in just before I woke up to mess with me." I say partially annoyed, but also embarrassed. What the hell is going on with this? Shouldn't Momoyo being annoying Yamato like this?
Well in all honesty he has Miyako to deal with so…
"And how do you know that yesterday didn't happen like that?" Momoyo continues still trying to put me in her trap.
I can't just take this sitting down; I got stand up for myself. It worked for Yamato, so let's give it a go; "Hmph, oh please. If we did it last night, you wouldn't even be standing."
"Hoho? Is that so? ~" Momoyo says with a much sultrier voice. Oh, shi…
As Momoyo approaches me, she crouches down and says in my ear, "Ufufu… are you finally remembering? ~ Chu ~" With that I feel Momoyo give me a peck on the cheek.
I can feel the blush on my face getting redder and hotter by the minute, "J-Just get out of my room!" I said with a stutter as I pushed her out. Just as she did so, her sister saw her as I closed the door.
"Hehe, maybe I went a bit overboard." Momoyo says as she giggles to herself.
"Onee-sama, were you teasing Nagamasa again?" Kazuko asked her sister.
"Yeah. But it looks like I was too effective. I think he's just shy that's all. Come on, we got a whole day of fun coming up. Besides, we got to surprise him to you know." Momoyo winked as she nudged her head towards the door.
Realizing the plan Kazuko nodded as she lowly replied, "Yeah, I'm sure he'll be surprised."
Back inside…
Friendship with Momoyo – [8% out of 100]
Friendship with Kazuko – [13% out of 100]
Oh shut up! But wait, where did those increases come from? And how did Momoyo's jump that far ahead?!
Oh, I just need to clear my head. It's still a mess…
"Geez, what's with that girl? Doesn't she take out all her teasing and frustration on her 'little bro' Yamato? Man…" I say frustratingly.
"Well… no use getting mad about it, no good that'll do. Probably better to just get ready for today." I finally clear my head with a shake as I finally get ready for the day hopefully thinking of something to do today.
After finally getting ready and the time now being 9:00, I finally heard another knock at my door this time with both Kawakami sisters there waiting for me both dressed as well.
"Hey, Nagamasa. You got any plans for today?" Momoyo asked.
"No? Not in particular, I was just going to walk around the city and see what caught my eye." I replied honestly.
"Then why not join us instead?" Momoyo seemed to offer.
"Eh?" I sounded confused.
"Us and the others are planning to play by the riverbed at 10. And we invited by you and Kri to join us!" Kazuko explained.
"W-why? I mean I barely know you guys…" I was honestly surprised. I know for Chris' case they found her immediately interesting, or at least that was by Kazama's own assessment of her if I remember.
"Sure, but that doesn't mean you can't try and fit in. Now come on we made you the offer, you coming or what?" Momoyo made the final offer.
"Alright, if you guys insist. Hehe, I'll come. Are we leaving now though?" I ask.
"Yeah, cause guess what?" Momoyo said mysteriously.
"You and Wanko are going to train until then!" Momoyo revealed.
"Nooooooo!"
"Yay…" I said weakly.
"Come on now, sure it's the weekend but you have to keep up your training right. Wanko?" Using her sister as leverage.
"Yeah, come on Nagamasa; it'll be fun." Kazuko said with a smile.
"Fine, fine… Not like I got much wiggle room." Little did I know said 'training' was helping Kazuko deliver newspapers while also on our training run.
And so came time for the three of us to arrive at the riverbed…
"Batting forth. First baseman, Shimazu!" Gakuto was now up to bat as he came up to the makeshift home plate.
Miyako standing in the center of the field diamond as pitcher, "Gakuto, huh? I guess it's easy to strike him out."
"All right, come on, Miyako! I'll hit your weak ball right out into the Pacific Ocean." Gakuto declares proudly.
"You forget Miyako can throw pretty well." Momoyo reminded him as she stood in the outfield as catcher.
"Get ready. Right fielder and left fielder." Miyako called for both Yamato, the right fielder and Kazuko, the left fielder to watch for Gakuto's swing.
"All right. Go ahead and throw." Yamato says.
"I'll catch any ball that comes here!" Kazuko says ready.
"Ground balls count as outs unless they hit really hard." Miyako reminds everyone.
"HA! Ground balls are out of the question! I'm only going for a home run!" Gakuto declares once more.
On the sidelines it's me, Kazama and Chris as we watch them playing.
"Geez, I don't think he realizes what he's up against." I say noting the obvious strength of the field players.
"I see baseball, huh?" Chris says as she watches intently.
"Well really it's just a random pitcher vs a random batter. We play stuff like this all the time." Kazama tells us.
Miyako winds up and throws, "Here! A pitch that handsome people can't hit!"
The declaration throws Gakuto off his game as he strikes at one ball, "Really?!"
"Strike one." Miyako says with a sly smirk.
"Haha, told you! Give'em another Miyako!" I cheer on the outfield.
"Shut up, new guy!" Gakuto now turns his frustration toward me. "That's not fair! Get serious, Miyako!"
"No way." Miyako simply replies.
Yamato then chips in. "Miyako! Can you take him seriously!?
"Got it." Miyako relents, of course, when it comes to Yamato.
Gakuto seems to be gritting his teeth, "Man… I'm gonna make sure I hit that ball."
Miyako pitches seriously but is then shocked when a crack of the bat makes contact with the ball, and it actually starts to gain some air.
"Huh He hit it?" She says confused in the moment.
"There! If this was a stadium, it'd be a home run hitting the backboard!" Gakuto cheers as he seems to have done it.
"If this were an American movie this would be the stereotype of all of us hitting the old man's window and running away." I say chuckling to myself.
"Is that actually a thing in America?" Chris asks me.
"Eh, you'd be surprised." I reply with a smile.
"You're too optimistic, Gakuto. You shouldn't forget about the speedy outfielder." Momoyo reminds him.
Kazuko is already running and with one giant leap, "Hahah! Jumping catch!" She catches the ball.
And Yamato who hasn't moved an inch, "Nice catch!"
"Playing center field as well… Viva, Wanko. I win." Miyako declares victory with Gakuto out.
Gakuto obviously objects, "Wait, that had the distance of a home run. That's not fair, Wanko."
"Boo, bad sport!" I jeer playfully.
"Yes, Dog caught the ball fair and square." With Chris agreeing with me.
"An out is an out. You're a poor sport, Gakuto!" Yamato adds on.
"Tch, you're pissing me off Yamato… but not as much as the new guy… Nagamasa! Get in the batter's box." He challenges me as he points the bat my way.
"Haha, alright. You can pitch then. Just do go crying when I get the home run…" I playfully taunt him as he looks down at me.
"It looks fun." Chris says as the rest of us get into position.
"Then why don't you join them too?" Kazama offers.
"Can I?" The German girl asks for clarification.
"We all talked about it and decided it's okay. That's why we welcomed both you and Nagamasa." Kazama tells her.
"Thank you. I'm glad I made so many friends so quickly." Chris says with a happy smile.
With Chris deciding to join in as well as myself. Momoyo made the offer to have a small party at the Shimazu Dorm for both of us. With the offer of getting some quality meat from the Kawakami Temple.
Oh yeah that's right. I haven't met Mayazumi Yukie have I? I thought I felt like I was forgetting somebody.
"After that, we'll take a bath to deepen our intimacy!" Momoyo adds on.
"Pervert…" I say to myself.
"Chris and Nagamasa are joining us." Miyako says.
"Hehe, that was fast." Kazuko replies happily. "Kri! I'm the senpai in this group, so you better show me some respect!"
"Dog… I'm not convinced yet no matter how many times I see her." Chris says, but Moro seems to take it the wrong way for a moment.
"Do you have something against Wanko?" Moro asked suspiciously.
"Oh, no. That's not it." Chris immediately catches how her statement sounded. "But comparing her to the principal and Momoyo-dono, it's hard to think that she shares their blood."
Kazama steps in to answer, "Oh, that's because Wanko's adopted."
"Eh!?" Chris seemed surprised.
"I think it was pretty obvious Chris. I mean neither of them have any matching distinctions at a first glance." I say my piece.
"Hmm, I suppose I should've I noticed that…" Chris replies, a bit embarrassed.
"Yeah, Wanko's an adopted orphan. But the person who adopted her was an old woman, so she soon passed away only a few years later. After that. Momo-senpai… No, the Kawakami Temple took her in." Kazama explained.
"I see…" Chris seems to have a new understanding.
"Hm? It's not some sad story or anything. You don't have to look dejected." Kazama continued.
"Most of the locals here know about the adoption as well too." Moro added-on.
"I didn't know about it and told her something insensitive yesterday. I told her she's different from everybody else at the Kawakami Temple…" Chris said thinking of the aftermath of her and Kazuko's duel.
"Hm, you said that to Wanko? That's terrible. You're a bully." Kazama said sarcastically but with a smile on his face.
"Ugh… I-I'll go apologize to her right now." With that Chris leaves.
Kazama surprised by her actions tries to stop her, "I'm just joking Don't bring it up again now!"
Moro then tries his hand as well, "It's all right. Wanko's not against you joining. No matter who they got to be, they're a family now."
"Come to think of it, Yamato was patting her head back then." Chris pointed out.
"He's causally following her up. As expected from Tactician Yamato." Kazama said.
"I see…" Chris's face once again seemed saddened.
"Hey, stop making that face. Don't worry about it." Kazama finally gets to her.
"You're right. I'm going to first base. I think I can manage that position" With that Moro heads out to the field to take his place.
"Here, come on Chris! Everyone's waiting." Kazama beckons her on.
"Okay!" With that Chris joins the rest on the field.
Meanwhile a quiet, shy swordswoman is all alone…
And so after a spirited game of hitter vs. pitcher, I think it's safe to say we all had fun. Oh, and for all intents and purposes; first throw from Gakuto?
"Full lap, baby!" I screamed as lapped around the field.
"Damn it! It's not fair…" Gakuto falls despondently to the ground with tears in his eyes.
Wondering how I did it?
(A few minutes ago…)
"Alrighty then musclehead, give me your best throw, come on!" I begin my array of usual batter taunts at Gakuto.
"Tch… all you've done is pissed me off since you first came here. I'll put you in your place!" Gakuto declares.
As I quickly begin to scan over the field I study everyone's positions.
"Oh, a little change up huh Tactician Yamato?" As I look out I see both he and Kazuko hadn't changed outfield positions. On the bases were Moro on first; Chris on second, and Kazama on third. Momoyo behind me still as catcher
I see… I see… You've made quite the defensive formation. I suppose him putting Moro and himself on the right in meant to somehow lure into some false sense of security that if I struck on their side; there'd be a mass attempt to get the ball… Alright, then let's do this!
"Alright give me your best shot Gakuto!" I yell one final time as I get ready.
"Ho! He's ready for you Gakuto, better take him seriously!" I hear Momoyo say from behind me.
"Hmph, I'll blow him away with… this!"
*CRACK!*
The bat and the ball connected with a loud crack right near my face at the moment of contact.
Everyone watched as it arced up, I ran as soon as it launched, But to everyone's surprise the ball was so close to the edge of the diamond but just far enough in it wasn't an out and so I took myself as far as my legs could take me.
"Damn it…" Yamato ran to get the ball. While Kazuko was fast, not even she could be that careful with a catch.
Eventually I passed Moro and first…
"Chris!" As Yamato threw it I just passed out Chris and second…
Chris too late to tag me; saw me as I just got to the mound at third and now with this split-second choice she throws the ball towards Momoyo and in that moment I sprint with all I have.
For the first time I see a look of deep concentration on Momoyo's face as she waits for the ball to land in her glove; I slide on the ground with bit of dust choking the air as I make it for home plate…
Everyone rushes up to see the result…
My foot on the mound…
"Safe! Nagamasa's point counts!" Kazama makes the determination.
"Damn it!" Gakuto screams dejectedly…
"Woohoo!" I cheer.
And so with that and a few more matches afterward we all go our separate ways for now.

Several hours later…
Kazuko and I were doing sprints together when we were going down the same riverside path together. She was just ahead of me when she came to a stop. I then noticed Tadakatsu was heading towards her.
"Haa… Haa… Oh, I'll do one more set." Kazuko said despite her heavy panting.
I finally caught up with her, "Hey now… Haa… Haa… don't go hurting yourself. Won't do you any good if you just twist something or end up vomiting while you run."
"Oh, Kazuko. Good job, I brought you this… drink. Aren't you…?" Tadakatsu notices me.
"Y-Yeah, the name's Nagamasa. I know we've only met in… class a few times." I saw still trying to catch my breath.
"I see, so why are you out here with Kazuko though?" He inquires.
"Oh, he's a new trainee at Kawakami. Grandpa let him stay with us while he's training there." Kazuko told him.
"I… see. So he'll be at Kawakami Temple for the foreseeable future?" Tadakatsu asks.
"Yep, this is apparently how my parents and Tesshin wanted it. I'll say it's an… experience so far." I reply.
"Ha, if you can somehow keep with this one. I think you'll have a chance to go far there. Sorry, I only brought one drink." Tadakatsu remembers why he wa there.
"Oh, well I'm sure we can share right, Nagamasa?" Kazuko offers after taking a swig from the bottle. "Thanks as always, Tacchan."
I return the gesture as I nod, as she finished half I finished the rest of the bottle in tow, "Woo, that felt good…"
"What about the other idiots?" Tadakatsu asks probably about the other Kazama family members.
"They were playing here until a few moments ago and then me and Nagamasa decided to get some last-minute training in." Kazuko said.
"And since they've started me; I've been using Kazuko's training as a guide for to get started learning the Kawakami style." I join in.
"And Momo-senpai?" He asks about the elder sister.
"Oh she's doing a 100-man kumite. I want to try it soon too." Kazuko said with his wistfulness.
"I see. Oh, I heard from Rikuo." Ah, that must be either one of their fellow foster orphans or one of their caretakers.
I leave them to their little conversation as I rest and catch my breath…
"Ah well, I don't really care about all of that." I hear the tail end of their conversation as Kazuko seems rearing to go. "I'm going to do one more set!"
"Ha, as if I'll let you get one ahead of me!" I say challenging her as we both get into position.
"Okay then, I'll sit here and watch you both head off." Tadakatsu says as he plops down on the grassy ground.
"But don't you have to work again tonight, huh?" Kazuko asks.
"Hah, I wish I could just drop out and focus on my job." Tadakatsu complains.
"You shouldn't do that. You can only have school life only once you know?" Kazuko points out.
"Heh, you say the same thing as Pops." Tadakatsu replies.
Of course though… there's another reason he stays in school. For the one person that has been a ray of sunshine in the rather gloomy days he seems to always have.
"Alright Kazuko, let's get his done and get ready for later!" I say getting her back into the spirit.
"I'll do my best!" And with that we're both gone as we sprint down the path and quickly with our backs to Tadakatsu.
"Kazuko sure has changed… She used to be such a crybaby. Girls sure are strong… and you, Nagamasa Azai…" Tadakatsu's thoughts linger as he stands watching Kazuko and I run into the distance together.
Three hours later… and stealing some meat later… we eventually arrived at the Shimazu dorm. The sisters and I left our shoes near the entrance as Momoyo seemingly vanished, off to meet Yamato, Kazuko going after her as usual.
"Wow, it looks rather homey…" I looked around the home/dorm as I could get the feeling it was meant to be some kind of apartment, surprised that Kawakami Academy; essentially a high school had it's own sponsored dormitory system.
Well at least Kawakami doesn't feel like boarding school.
As I walked to the first floor I heard Momoyo's voice, "Listen, Wanko. Yamato was reading a porn mag just now."
"Gyaaa, pervert! He's a pervert!" I hear Wanko then exclaim.
"What a false accusation." Yamato simply replies. I also seem to remember despite being a massive pervert he hides his "materials" very effectively.
Momoyo then put the cherry on top, "And it was about an athletic girl with a ponytail."
"Awawawa…" I hear Kazuko stuttering as she runs from Yamato's room and right in me. I feel her embrace.
"K-Kazuko?"
"Awawawa… Nagamasa… Y-Yamato was…" Her stuttering continued.
"Hey now come on, it's alright let's just go to the kitchen already." I saw trying to calm her down.
I chuckle seeing her like this, reminds me that even though she's come far from where she was as a kid on the inside there's part of her that's a stuttering mess, and in a way it's still cute…
As we arrive in the kitchen everyone except Yukie was here; we were waiting for Momoyo and Yamato.
"Hey guys. We're here. I see the grill's already to go?" I see the char-grill top was already burning.
"Yeah, just waiting for everyone. Actually… I think one of them ain't here isn't it…? Mayazumi-san right?" Kazama asks Miyako.
"Yeah, Cap you can go upstairs to get her. You have my permission." Miyako allows him up.
"Got it, you go get Yamato and Momoyo and tell them to hurry up!" With that Kazama headed off upstairs.
Momoyo and Yamato arrive a few seconds later, with Kazama having finally convinced Yukie to come down and join us.
With everyone here, me and Chris realize we haven't met Mayazumi her sword still in her hand. The nervous look on her face being evident.
"Hello there, my name is Christiane Friedrich. I'll be living her besides you in this dorm. I'll be in your care." Chris said with a bow.
"Same here, name's Nagamasa Azai. But I'm staying at the Kawakami Temple due to circumstances, but I'm sure we'll see each other at school and such. Nice to meet you." I bow as well.
"H-h-h-hello it's nice to meet you two as well!" Mayazumi says with a long stutter her awkward, but still threatening smile appears on her face.
"Ahaha, y-yeah." I say trying to keep my composure. However Chris noticed the long sword in her hands.
"Is that sword precious to you or something?" She asks.
"Oh this? Yes, this sword has been passed down in my family for generations. My father passed it on to me when I became of age to begin my own training in our family arts." Mayazumi explained.
"Oh, I see so you have a family style?" Chris inquires.
"I see. So it's kind of like my family, but I can assure you we aren't as famous." With my revelation Yukie then sees the katana on my own hip.
"Is that sword…?" Yukie asks.
I suppose I never have gone into detail with my katana before have I? If one were to see it, it would still have the same blade as any other katana, but it's overall look was much slimmer around the guard unlike some of the other more rounded pommels.
I think overall the best way to describe it would be the Kuki Masamune sword from the game Samurai Warriors 5 the one used by Takakage Kobayakawa.
"Aaah, I'm starving. Yamato, grill my portion." Momoyo ordered him.
"Miyako, can you grill Nee-san's meat?" Yamato passes it to her.
"Chris, Nagamasa. This is something new members do." And now it was Miyako's turn.
"Well looks like it falls to us. Eh, Chris?" I say with a smirk.
"Orders get passed around a lot in the group, huh?" Chris says with a sigh.
"Please let me help you then." Mayazumi offers to do so and the three of us begin grilling for everyone at the table.
"I think Gen-san has work. Moro's looking after his grandfather and Gakuto said he's attending Mouryou's Gathering." Yamato pointed out their absent dormmates.
"They should've come to…" Miyako pouted.
"That's a stupid name for a gathering. What even is it?" Momoyo asked.
"I don't know what it's about, but he says he can't miss it." Yamato tells her.
"How about a gathering for stupid perverted virgins…" I say to myself remembering all the stupid gatherings Yonpachi would be leading from his "secret identity."
The three of us continue grilling the meat for everyone. Adding some the spices in the cupboard along with a squeeze of lemon juice.
"Haha, I have to say this feels rather homey for me…" I say remembering the times I would help my mother in the kitchen.
"Oh, you like to cook, Nagamasa-san?" Chris asks.
"Yeah, I find it's a good way to clear my head in the moment." I reply.
"Yes, I have to agree. Cooking can be rather fun, whether or not it ends up a failure or success it's always an experience." Mayazumi says, but as I turn around I'm finally presented with the sight I never thought I'd enjoy.
"Holy crap that's a big butt!" My eyes find themselves drifting towards Yukie's posterior. "Hehe… Hehehe…!"
What!? Don't you look at me like that! Yeah I admit it, I have a thing for butts. But don't you dare look at me like I've got a problem. Two of the dude's who aren't here are already perverts who would protest for the sake of online… you-know-what.
One of them is a closet pervert who's a pro at hiding his secret stash and nearly every girl at this table has some of kink to them. So in reality everyone right now in this room is a pervert… they just haven't admitted it yet.
"Ne, Nagamasa is it ready yet?" I hear Kazuko whining.
"Not yet, and the rice will be ready in a few minutes as well. Mayazumi how is it?" I ask her.
"Oh, this batch here is done." Mayazumi hands her batch of meat to the table.
Kazuko immediately digs into the plate, "Yeah, it's delicious. As expected from a gift to our place."
Chris had now joined the table and was eating with them, "Oh, this is really good…"
"We've gotten approval from the German Empire." Kazuko said with a smile.
"We are no longer an empire; we're a federal republic." Chris corrected her.
Kazuko ignored her, "I'm the type who eats the last piece of meat without hesitation, so I'm taking this one."
"And she's not listening. As expected from Dog." Chris watches her.
"Wah, this is great Nagamasa! Have you tried any Mayazumi?" Kazama asks her.
"Oh uh… Yes! This is dope!" Mayazumi surprised once again that someone's talking to her replies causing me to hide a chuckle underneath my hand.
"Nagamasa! Is it done yet? Hurry up!" Kazuko once again wants more.
"Well then here's this batch. Now sit." I order her.
"Yes." She does so.
"Wait." I continue this routine.
"Yes!" I place the plate of meat down.
"Go ahead." I give her the go ahead.
"Yay!" She cheers as she goes to town on it.
The ding from the rice cooker finishes signaling it's done.
"Anybody want rice?" Everybody raised their hands. "Alright, there's plenty now."
And so I returned to the grill top, while Mayazumi finally returned to the table with the others. Doing this has been a lot of fun I have to admit.
As I continue to make the last of the meat, I'm reminded of a certain song I always enjoyed:
"Hmmmmm…" I begin humming which catches everyone's attention. "Hmmmmm…"
"The dreams of young lovers are like a good wine, surprised by the richness and sorrow they'd find."
"Longing for something sweet, come sweep me off my feet . Hoping for some change, to take me away. For nothing in life comes free."
Just as I finish the last of the meat finishes as I plate I continue singing, "Oh, hope is a dish far too quickly consumed. Pipe dreams on a plate, I'm simply run through. All alone, sitting still, a table for all. Bitterness plagues me, but what am I to do?"
"For nothing in life comes free! You'll see… never they'll tell me. It's written in the stars; I'll never get that far… I'll spread my wings and fly far from here, reaching for my best. Than finally, my heart will be at rest…"
I serve the remaining plates and rice to everyone at the table, and in the excitement I reach out to Yukie who shyly takes my hand in doing so I wrap my arm around her waist as I continue to hum rhythmically as I guide her along, unknowingly making her panic at my sudden actions.
"Oh, the party's about to begin. So, grab all of the glasses and bottles you can…" Momoyo and Kazuko surprisingly having gotten into my little show and dance did just that as they found drinks for everyone.
"Dress up the table and cheers to the end… of the sorrow, the sadness, and the strife we've endured. A new day is dawning; those wishes have been heard; oh sit down and enjoy what's served…"
Leaving Yukie to sit down in peace, I take one of the drinks the girls had, "A new day is coming, my wish has been heard so, sit down and enjoy… what's… serveeeeed…"
After I finish I take a bow and everyone to my surprise claps at my show.
"That was awesome, Nagamasa!" Kazuko cheers.
"Yeah, you certainly put on a show." Momoyo said with an amused smile.
"Impressive." Miyako said.
"That was amazing, Nagamasa-san!" Chris cheered.
"Y-y-yes, you were quite good as well." Yukie said nervously.
A new blue bar appears over Yukie's head now…
Friendship with Yukie – [15% of 100]
Well they always said first impressions help impress people and I guess my song and dance routine made an impression alright. Although given her reply I wouldn't know that.
"Yeah man that was good. I didn't think you were a singer." Yamato says.
"This stuff is amazing dude! If I could I'd make you our head chef!" Kazama cheered.
"Thanks everyone. I really don't know what came over me." I sheepishly reply as I scratch the back of my neck.
I then look to see there's an extra blue bar, noy above anyone's head but right in front of me…
Friendship with the Kazama Family – [10% of 100]
Huh I guess it only makes sense that there's also the group dynamic to consider as well. And since almost all of us are here I'm sure in some case it works both ways.
With that the rest of us enjoy the food together.
"Matsukaze, it seems though my dope line from before has been ignored." Yukie says to the horse shaped phone strap.
"The situation's not bad. In terms of shogi, you moved one piece forward." Matsukaze said.
Ah seeing it in person, it's actually quite cute seeing her talk to Matsukaze. Although I'm sure the others just think she's weird for doing so.
"Oh!? I feel uncomfortable eyes on me." Yukie's eyes start going wide as she begins to freak out. "Do they think I'm a scary person who talks to a cell hone strap, Matsukaze?"
"It's all right. In terms of shogi, you moved your king into checkmate." Matsukaze said.
"Would that be your king being checkmated or the enemy's?" I inquired.
"Eh? One of them noticed me? Seems some mortals are capable of respect." Matsukaze says.
"But then that means I lost!" Yukie realizes Matsukaze's answer.
"Haha. What is this funny creature?" Momoyo chuckles watching the ventriloquist spectacle.
"Huh?" Yukie blushes as Momoyo embraces her.
"So cute…" And she hugs her as expected.
Yukie looks as though she's about to cry, "Ohh… Other people are so warm…"
"Uh, should we stop her?" I ask Yamato.
"Nah, I think for once it may be okay." Yamato sheepishly replies.
"Momo-senpai. Don't eat the other kind of meat!" Miyako says sneaking a peek at Yamato.
"No, you're not saying something that funny." Yamato says trying to catch her joke.
"Ohh…" Miyako pouts.
"C-cheer up." Chris says as she approaches Miyako for the first time.
For a few seconds both girls simply stare at each other, it's not like their sizing each other up but trying to slowly understand each other.
"Do you like spicy stuff?" Miyako then asks.
"A little." Chris replies using her hand to say 'so-so.'
"Yay." Miyako pumps her fist and then turns to me. "You too, Nagamasa?"
"Huh, oh yeah I love spicy stuff." I reply.
"Good." She replies happily again, I pump my fist in the air too.
"Y-yay." Chris joins us as she does as well.
"Then these as a token of our new acquaintanceship… Here's two bottles of super-hot tobacco sauce from my personal stash." She hands us two bottles of hot sauce.
"What do you want us to do with them?" Chris asks.
"Drink it. Chug it from the bottle. You can do it if you like spicy things right, right?" Miyako replied.
"I'm really sorry!" Chris immediately hands her back her bottle.
"Nagamasa, what say you?" Miyako now turns to me.
I look down at the bottle and saw the Scoville count of nearly 100,000 shus. But little do they know I've had just as hot…
"Eh well, you only live once." Popping the top off I begin to guzzle down the hot sauce and almost immediately I can feel the spice trying to take me out of the game, but I've had spicy challenges before, and I was about to stop.
"Aaah…" Miyako gasped audibly seeing me guzzle the bottle down.
"Woah… Nagamasa is something else…" Wanko said with stars in her eyes.
"He's got guts…" Momoyo said slightly impressed still hugging Yukie.
"Chug, chug, chug, chug!" I could hear Kazama cheering along as the others began to join him
Eventually I kept going even as I started sweating profusely I did stop until I felt the last drop pass my throat until I slammed the bottle on the table.
"Woohoo! That's some fire there!" I cheer ignoring the spice and pain I feel in my stomach.
"That was pretty good, Nagamasa." Miyako smiles at me as she puts her fist out. I fist bump her in return. "I've found a new person who likes spicy food."
Friendship with Miyako – [8% of 100]
Worth every bit…
And so we return to the meal as the cabbage is passed around. Me and Miyako enjoy salt on ours.
"That's too much. That's essentially a plate of salt with cabbage on it. Nagamasa, you should be ashamed." She directs most of her ire at me. "Too much salt leads to health concerns."
"Fine, fine. You're so picky." Miyako begins to take the salt off her cabbage as do I.
"Wanko. Ahh. Open your mouth and ask for it." Miyako offers some to her.
"Please give it to me." Kazuko asks.
"What do you want?" Miyako asks this time more suggestively.
"Please ram the cabbage into my mouth." Kazuko asks again.
"*Snort*…" I try to hold back my reaction but I couldn't as I heard Kazuko say that.
"Good job. Fufufu, here." Miyako feeds Kazuko.
"*Munch* *Munch*" Kazuko can be heard audibly chewing the crunchy cabbage.
"Your sister's getting tamed." Yamato tells Momoyo.
"That's fine. Then I guess I'll tame Miyako." Momoyo then leaves Yukie and heads for Miyako next.
"There are so many tamers here." Yamato says.
"Says one of them." I reply.
"I wouldn't call myself a tamer, I'm just her trainer." Yamato counters.
"That is not any different." I say with a chuckle.
And so for the rest of the dinner party there are a few more antics, but all in all everyone seems to be getting along.
"Fufu, then let's head for the bath. Right, Chris?" Momoyo says as the girls all head upstairs.
"Okay. You look really happy." Chris points out.
"Yeah, see, Wanko looks happy too." Momoyo points out.
"Bath, bath! ~" Kazuko says in a sing-song voice.
"Right? Fufufu…" Momoyo chuckles.
"It looks like you're happy for a different reason…" Chris is still suspicious.
"It's just your imagination." Momoyo dismisses her concerns.
"I see. Then it must be my imagination." Chris seems content.
"Yeah. Socializing in baths is important in Edo town." Momoyo tries to sweet talk Chris.
"Then let us go. I love hot springs because they feel so good." Chris then heads upstairs.
"Bye, Yamato, Nagamasa. I'll go take a gooooood look at her." Momoyo rubs it in our faces as she heads upstairs.
"Yeah, yeah go ahead." Yamato replied.
"No skin off my bones." I reply.
"How about 30,000 yen for each cell phone photo of her?" Momoyo offers.
"That's a realistic price… It doesn't sound like a joke." Yamato ponders the offer.
"You also seem to forget whose making the offer." I remind him.
"Well I've got a night job to go to for a moving company. So I'm out, see ya." With that Kazama leaves only me and Yamato as the only guys in the dorm.
"I'm scared to ask for the details. See you later. So I guess it's only you and me left Nagamasa." Yamato says turning to me. "And the girls are probably undressing now."
"Your point?" I ask him with a raised brow.
"What would you do in this situation?" He asks me.
Well if I remember. I could do nothing and not think of girls. Imagine to my hearts content and head back to the temple with those thoughts in my head…
Or…?
As young men, I think we both admit we're curious to what the girls are up to. I think both of us can manage now that Capt. isn't here anymore.
Both of us share a knowing smile and nod together as we sneak up to the second floor. Where we were sure they were still undressing in there.
While I'm sure the original story of Miyako getting permission for Yamato would work, and I don't know my status I still can't take this chance for granted.
As we get to the door we put our ears to it.
Inside the bathhouse, "How is it, Chris? How's my naked body?" Momoyo says sharing her naked body in all its beauty.
"O-Oh… Wow…" Chris is left speechless.
"I'm proud of my body." Momoyo declares.
"It's amazing… Your breasts,,, and everything else is amazing." Chris says as she looks up and down her senior's body.
"Right? Now it's your turn to show me." Momoyo says.
"T-This is embarrassing." Chris says with a cute stutter.
"Hmm, I love your innocence. But baths are… Wanko." Momoyo calls her sister."
"All right! Hah!" Kazuko proudly removes her own clothes.
"You can strip naked like this." Momoyo says trying to help Chris be calmer and take her clothes off.
"What are you embarrassed about between girls, Kri?" Kazuko asks Chis.
"Y-You're right, but…" Chris still didn't seem convinced "No, this is Japanese culture. I understand."
And so Chris began to undress with Momoyo… announcing it?
"Oh, she's taking her skirt off first, Yamato, Nagamasa!" We were so dead…
"Shit!" I yell in my head.
"She sensed us. But we have to be calm here." Yamato tries to calm himself in this situation.
"I may be relaxed here, but I can still sense presences." Momoyo said.
"We were just worried that you might harass Chris." Yamato replied. "But it's good if you're getting along. Bye."
"Yeah, we were just on our way. See ya!" With that both of us beat a hasty retreat.
"They're both so defensive, right? Watch out since they're both perverts." Momoyo said slyly.
Damn, we both should've known with her around no one was getting close… Yamato and I both retreat with our lives intact though as we both head for his room.
After a while though…
*BOOM!*
"What the hell!? What could've caused that!?" I scream.
"An explosion on the second floor?!" Yamato points out.
We both then hear running as both of us see Kazuko opening the door, "Yamato, Nagamasa It's terrible! The girl's bath is…"
After learning about the water heater explosion, the dorm manager Ms. Reiko is contacted by Yamato about the situation.
"Okay… It's a short story, so bear with me." Momoyo says, but I interrupt her.
"Short of it is that she was probably harassing Chris and given her power she stepped so hard that it caused the water main to burst. Am I right?" I explain.
"Kuh…" Momoyo clicks her tongue having been called out.
"Chris, did she…?" I ask.
"Y-Yeah, we might've been horsing around then that's when it happened." Chris says with an apologetic look.
"Why are you so embarrassed Kri?" Kazuko asks.
"I mean I only asked her if we could wash each other's body while facing each other." Momoyo tried to explain herself.
"We do it all the time. Right, Onee-sama?" Kazuko recounts happily.
"Yeah." Momoyo replies simply.
"Um, I hate to be the guy who ruins everyone's fun, But we've got a busted water heater here!" I remind the girls.
"Shut up you." She lightly hits me on the head.
"Ow. Not my fault you acted dumb." I rubbed my head while I returned the favor lightly bonking her head back.
"It's strange though. I was suppressing my powers so it shouldn't have broken." Momoyo said
"But you still broke it. At least apologize!" I tell her.
"Yeah he's right Nee-san, come on!" Yamato joins in.
Even though I'm just a student compared to her sometimes the student has to keep the master in line.
"Yeah… you're right. I apologize, Reiko-san." Momoyo apologizes sincerely.
"We apologize on her behalf." Yamato and I say in unison.
"I'm sorry for causing this deplorable event." Chris apologizes as well.
"Chris-chan, this isn't your fault at all. Besides that old thing was already nearing it's end so I was thinking about renovating it." Reiko says. "So that's why it broke when even Momoyo was going easy."
"I'm a beautiful girl, so I'll take responsibility, How much will it cost?" Momoyo asks.
"It's fine, it's fine, It broke because it was getting old. This is a good opportunity since the renovation kept getting put off." Reiko insisted
"Momoyo-chan. Let's say you have to help me out when I need it. How about it?" Reiko counter-offered.
"Okay. Leave it to me when that time comes." Momoyo seems serious.
"I'll have the girl's bath on the second floor renovated. For now you'll all use the boy's bath on the first floor." Reiko says.
Afterwards we told everyone still here about the decision, "And that's what we decided, Miyako."
"So men and women will be bathing together. Haa, haa…" Miyako becomes flushed.
"No! We'll just be taking baths at different time." Yamato corrects her.
"And Yamato's going to come in when the girls are taking a bath. I understand." Miyako still wasn't listening.
"Hahaha. I'd never do something so typical." Yamato waves off her accusation.
"May I remind you of just the last hour or so ago?" I wasn't about to let him get away with that one.
"Geh…" He choked up remembering how we got caught listening to the girls.
And with one last phone call Reiko called the Kawakami Temple about the damages and how the accident happened.
Safe to say Tesshin was both embarrassed and upset and offered to have the heater and bathroom fixed, but Reiko convinced him that it was fine, and he had nothing to worry about.
Although he did still have to worry about his all-powerful granddaughter.
And so ended our interesting Saturday welcome party, as the sisters and I returned to the Temple safe to say Momoyo got a dressing down from her grandfather while Kazuko and I headed back to our rooms.
With all that commotion, I thought back to how I snuck to the girl's bathroom. Just hearing them was something…
As I head to bed, I couldn't help but use my imagination for what all the possibilities of what Momoyo could do to Chris…
(Nagamasa's Dream – Warning! Dirty dream ahead!)
Excluding Wanko, in the bath house was only Momoyo and Chris as both of them were naked and in the bath already the water splashing as Momoyo pushed Chris down against the bath.
"Chris… you're beautiful ~" Momoyo sultrily whispers.
"W-what are you doing?" Chris says shocked at her senpai's suddenness.
"It's part of our culture since the Edo period that you have to make love when you're taking a bath together with another." Momoyo answered. The steam making both of them flush red.
"Then if it's part of Japanese culture… then I guess there's no other choice…" Chris relents as her body relaxes.
"Yeah, there's no other choice." Momoyo says as her face gets closer to Chris's, "I'll kiss you first. Chu ~"
The girls then kiss softly as Momoyo's cups Chris's face.
"Hmm… *Kiss*… Mm… Ahh… *Chu*…"
"Hm, haa… Chris… you're so cute… *Kiss*… Hmm, mm…"Momoyo begins to get more aggressive as she inserts her tongue.
"Aahh… Mm… Hmm, mm… Mm… *Lick*…" Chris returns the gesture as both begin using their tongues.
"Chris… your lips are so soft ~ You taste so sweet ~" Momoyo confesses.
"I had no idea you liked women Momoyo-senpai…" Chris said trying to catch her breath.
"No, no… like I said this is merely our culture… now sit back and relax leave the rest of it to me. I'll make you feel amazing ~" Momoyo and Chris continue to make out just as their tops fall off…
(Real World – 10 Minutes Later)
Despite my best attempt to sleep my vivid dream kept me awake I can feel the hot pants leaving my mouth.
"Haa… Haa… Aahh!" I can then feel myself let go as I feel myself let go…
"Haaah… I literally just whacked off to my new friends… Now I'm no better then Yamato… But I guess it was inevitable…"
I mean I am a growing teenage boy; I suppose in some way it was normal for me to do this. But the fact I was able to do it so naturally even though up this point I never had… scares me a bit.
But in my haste I realized I'd soiled my underwear, "Great, now I new pair…"
And despite feeling a bit uncomfortable, I eventually found myself going back to sleep.
What a way to end off a Saturday…
