My sister is, as many would expect and I would grimace about, a dummy.
Sure, Tsukino Usagi was no clever and pragmatic individual, but her decision to 'hangout with friends' and thus ditch my offer to go to the gym felt a bit like a silly and, in part, hurtful development. Here I was, giving her guidance into making that thiccness into weaponized means of destruction, and she wanted to be a lazy butt.
Shame! But not for me!
Despite that disappointing circumstance, mom was lovely enough to tell me I could go on on my own to this gym because 'I was a mature boy'. Maybe it was because I had been behaving a bit 'older' than I should be and she perceived it as maturity, but this was good news to me.
After finishing my homework-

I was ready for physical business!
The gym itself was not too big and the place held unfamiliar faces as I was spared from any 'anime threats' kind of issues in handling this sort of 'safe space'. The bulky guy at the counter was a jovial fellow that seemed to pick up that I wanted a 'solo' room to train as 'I did not like being watched while training'. The gym had spaces for that, and while those were limited, no one tended to ask for those so there was no fee or prenotation to pay for those.
I paid for the monthly subscription, got myself my own Gym Card and got my own room to train in. There wasn't a lot inside, but I noticed a punching bag, weighlifting machines, a treadmill and a traction bar. Not much... but still enough for the time being.
I grinned right as the door closed behind me, with the world of physical training fully unlocked to me as I ventured into some beginner steps. Before going for something intense, I decided to test a thought I had on the topic- after all, the Game seemed to have a rather quirky way to 'assign' points and stats depending on the exercises.
Starting from the basic exercise of punching the punching bag. How many punches do I need to hurl at it to gain stats?
Five? No.
Ten?
You punched a Punching Bag for ten times. Get +1 ATK!
ATK: 62
Hmm... No pain, no gain?
No pain, no gain.
That's fair but... I wonder how I should structure my exercises then. The Punching Bag was the 'simplest' method to attain more ATK, but it was also time-draining due to my speed and how much the Punching Bag can take. After all, I have a feeling I would demolish it if my ATK got too much for it to handle.
First thing first, rather than waste time, I decided to go for a 'run'. The Treadmill had an easy terminal to browse into and soon I had it calibrated to go at a medium pace so I could gauge at how much I should go with it. Turns out I started to sweat at upper-medium, with the pace almost catching me off-guard as I ended up making roughly six kilometers and then step off for forty push-ups and sixty sit-ups.
You have run for 6 Km, get +30 SP.
You have completed 40 Push-Ups, get +80 HP.
You have completed 60 Sit-Ups, get +120 HP.
SP: 210/210
HP: 840/840
(Healthy Body - LVL.8) - Your Body is the Temple of your Mind. +20% Boost to all Stats. (This skill will evolve the more HP you have.)
That was the basic, but now I had to be a bit... bold. And I was thinking that while eyeing the high traction bar.
I had to move a chair and some folded mats to climb up to it, but the end result was... intense. Lifting myself was easy, but my arms were not accustomed to the task. There was a good reward to it-
You used the Traction bar once. Get +1 ATK and +1 DEF!
ATK: 63
DEF: 20
But the catch was that I couldn't do many before I may end up losing the grasp and make a big fall. Still, despite that, I pushed through the stressful drain and kept on going until-
You used the Traction bar x12. Get +12 ATK and +12 DEF!
ATK: 75
DEF: 32
Fuck it, this is too much.
I slowly descended down my lil' Babel Tower, removing the mats and resolving to ask once I was done for an easier way to climb it without risking breaking my necks while using it to the owner. Still, I had a few minutes left for my first hour-long stay at the gym: I wanted to get back to the Punching Bag.
All this exercising had given me another idea to test out. As I dropped in my boxing stance, I started to hit the sack with careful shots, not focusing much on how many hits I landed on it and, right as I got to the third strike, I was given a new notification.
You trained your boxing skill on a Punching Bag.
(Boxing - LVL.76/100) - Your capacity to practice Boxing. 76% Boost to your ATK when using the Boxing Style.
...I made a double level up for a skill with just... three strikes? I tried this again, and that was indeed the case.
You trained your boxing skill on a Punching Bag.
(Boxing - LVL.78/100) - Your capacity to practice Boxing. 78% Boost to your ATK when using the Boxing Style.
I decided to spend what was left of my remaining time here training out my Boxing Skill, coming really close to have it Maxxed out and... yeah, I felt like this was a rather positive visit.
You trained your boxing skill on a Punching Bag.
(Boxing - LVL.98/100) - Your capacity to practice Boxing. 98% Boost to your ATK when using the Boxing Style.
DING! You reached LVL.80 of an ATK-based Skill. Receive +8 ATK!
DING! You reached LVL.90 of an ATK-based Skill. Receive +9 ATK!
You punched a Punching Bag for sixty times. Get +6 ATK!
ATK: 98
While this may not sound much, this was just a testing sample and... I had wasted a lot of time while thinking on what to do. And, despite that, I managed to roughly make more than half of what I achieved for my ATK and DEF points in all those years in a single hour.
This was... going to be a proper grinding session in these few days.
But for now, it was time for me to go back home. I reeked, and I plotted to draw a warm bath for myself. I was not expecting any trouble as Usagi should have been still out to have the homework session with Rei and Ami 'at the Arcade', leaving the house mostly devoid of trouble for potential debauchery.
Luna was out too, the feline having been a bit suspicious of me, but refraining from jumping to conclusions as I have done plenty of things to throw her off my butt from utterly seeing me as Moon Knight. Speaking of which... after I was done washing up and being spared from any ecchi tropes while I was cleaning up, I waited after dinner to get myself on costume to go out.
I was now in a better shape as I had recovered from the soreness of going through the gym session. The bath had properly 'cleansed' me of any remaining stress and now, as the night reigned, I shifted through the various rooftops. Swinging around and cleaning up the street.
+2100Y for dealing with this Crime.
+1500Y for dealing with this Crime.
+1200Y for dealing with this Crime.
+2200Y for dealing with this Crime.
+1300Y for dealing with this Crime.
Ah yes, crime does pay and... I think I had done enough for tonight. I went all around Tokyo. I didn't get to clean up in a precise way as I would have wanted, but I was sure I hit enough crime scenes to keep things tame for the night. Soon I was sitting at the edge of one of the rooftops, looking around as I watched the streets' neon lights and the night life itself.
I almost didn't see someone approach as I heard a flap of wings cease with said someone sitting beside me.
"Lilim."
The succubus girl beamed. "Shingo~. How are you?"
"Doing well."
...
"Hmmmm."
I sighed, noticing the loud humming. "What?"
"What's with the accent? You didn't have it last time."
Well, I have to cover my ass somehow and not get caught because of my own voice.
"People could recognize it, so I have to change it while I am Moon Knight."
Lilim nodded in delight. "Oh, I see! It's like the heroes you mentioned a while ago. You know, I found some of those comics and... those are cooler than I thought."
"...Asses?"
"And muscles," She admitted proudly. "I just didn't know one could draw those with that kind of... good details."
"I am glad I made your day then," I remarked calmly and... tensed up.
Lilim's own posture grew stiff too as we both heard someone land by the billboard in front of us, several meters above our heads.
We both turned to see that it was someone that clearly had not that good of an intention towards the lil' Succubus.
"So... I finally found you."
That's Mizuki Shiranui in her (scandalous) Taimanin battlesuit.
"W-Who is that lady?"
"That's a Taimanin."
...
"Oh. Sh- Moon Knight?"
"...Yes?"
"Can I sleep at your house tonight?"
I gritted my teeth, our eyes still aimed at the issue.
"Considering current circumstances. I doubt there's a need to question that."
"...Good to know. On your mark?"
She whispered quietly, the woman jumping and clearly trying to land behind us. I carefully followed her somersault and-
"Now!"
Without hesitation, Lilim took the lead as she took the 'opposite' direction to the one leading home. Silly girl she may be, Lilim was no dumbass and she knew that going straight to our established destination was not going to work well with us. So, time to make a wild run for it and then, once we were milking that advantage properly.
There was, however, one issue with that plan: Shiranui is far faster than we could have hoped her to be. To make it clear, I knew she was fast, but I thought that the necessity to be limited to the rooftops-jumping. I didn't expect her to rapidly bolt for her, catch us with a single arm by pressing us against her big chest and then rotating herself to land on the closest roof.
"Gotcha~!"
My face has 'faced' the biggest pair possible at the moment and... I wasn't happy. The situation just wasn't positive enough to be a naughty boy.
"Well, if you want to kill us then-"
"What, no! I wanted to just thank you both for saving my daughter."
...
...
"Wait... what?"
"Mou~, did you think I came here to kill you? I am a Taimanin, I wouldn't have been that sloppy~."
...
"What about that girl, Sakura?"
Shiranui frowned at that response. "Saku...rah? Oh, you mean the young Igawa girl. Hm, I suppose she is a bit of a rookie at this point- she has much to learn from field experience and... trying to leave her sister's shadow can make that experience tedious."
"So... you are not here to kill me or Moon Knight, right?"
"Nope. Just wanted to thank you both and, truth be told, understand what is your own situations. I could... understand a demon trying to be helpful as there are good people from the Dark World too," The MILF ninja explained, then turning to look at me. "But I find it odd that a normal kid would be able to accomplish... this much."
"I am special," I replied bluntly. "And that's all I can say."
"Well... Still, I didn't come here to attack you both. I was trying to find you to thank you for your help in saving my daughter."
I guess that... makes sense.
"You are welcome?" Lilim offered, but the tense exchange remained.
"That being said, I would like to invite you to... visit my current home here in Tokyo."
"...Why?"
"To be honest, your presence here in Tokyo has gained the attention of some elders and, unless I can provide solid proof that you two are reliable individuals that constitute no harm to my village, they will push to have bounty on your heads."
...Shit.
"Fine," I conceded dryly, with Lilim slowly nodding.
"Good! Then we can set this for next Thursday? It could be a nice way for my little Yuki-chan to have some playmates that are not just her childhood friends."
...Fuck.
AN
In the end, both Shingo and Lilim spent the night knowing that... this was a bit of a defeat. Not necessarily bad but... big boobs can sure be faster than they had expected them to be.
Next time... Lilim meets the rest of the 'Loli Brigade'. And it's going to be adorable and quite destructive.
REVIEW Q&A!
Austin: There will be a degree of conflict in that regard, yes.
Dante: I am following the Crystal/Manga timeline since it's a bit less tedious compared to the OG anime. I think the OG Anime is a 'better watch', but it is too tedious to write a story around it. Too 'long'.
