The air feels light, like a weight I didn't even know was on my shoulders was lifted. A weight I have been carrying for many years.
Everything is going to be okay, sensei is back. I wasn't worried about fighting by the way, or about finding this evil vampire.
What I was worried about was never seeing her again. Nostalgia is a powerful thing, one that a person shouldn't indulge in too much, but this feels nice.
It's not like I couldn't contact her of course, sensei left both Shiki and I her number, just in case we needed her help, but...
It was supposed to be for an emergency, I couldn't just call her and tell her that I missed her presence.
Shiki, Rika, Aoko and I. A small little group that formed in a hospital, it was filled with stupidly powerful people. I have no doubt most mages would go crazy from seeing it.
But I don't care about that at all, what makes this moment special is... the gang is back together baby!
This tearful reunion only contains sensei's tears, that's because all of us have our own methods of saying... Hello, I missed you.
Shiki sighs. "This troublemaker is already living it up to her namesake, seriously, what if you broke my glasses sensei?"
Aoko pouts. "Ah! Who cares about them! Pay attention to me! Come hug me or something... except for you Yuta, I just know that your hands are going to wander around where they shouldn't!"
I smirk. "I won't deny that... Your body is still as great as ever sensei! No, it might have gotten even better! Did you age backwards a little!?"
She nods. "I'm glad you noticed!" And then her face becomes the same color as her hair. "Wait a moment, I definitely didn't! There's no way I used my magic to look a bit younger!" So she did.
Rika snickers. "Heh, lonely old lady!" And then she straight up starts giggling. "Even while looking amazing you can't get a boyfriend!"
Hey, that could be wrong! We haven't seen sensei in years, so maybe she got a boyfriend now! Yeah, even I don't believe that...
Sensei seems to be stuck with the same curse as Noel, but even worse... At least Noel has a bunch of personality problems, so I can understand her being rejected, kinda...
Sensei however, is a good person, her only flaws are her rampant agression, her horrible temper, her bull headedness, and her tendency to groom minors... Okay, I can see why she's single.
Aoko glares at Rika. "Are you fishing for another kick!? Did the last one fail to knock some sense into your head!?" Rika shakes her head. "Good! Make sure to remember that!"
I sigh. "Sensei, please stop threatening my girlfriend. If you're really mad about not having a boyfriend, then just go out with me."
Sensei has a big smile on her face. "Oh! The Hikaru Genji plan worked!" Show some shame when talking about grooming!
Rika sighs. "In one hand, I don't want to share Yuta, but on the other hand, I don't want Sensei to die alone..." Ah! Sensei accumulated more pity points than Noel!
Sensei takes a deep look at me. "Hmm... You are pretty well buit, and you definitely look pretty good..." Please remember that I'm seventeen. "But you're taken, so I'll pass." No!
She looks at Shiki. "So Shiki! How are you doing!?" She smiles. "Aiming at the second prettiest one might be not too bad." Sensei mutters.
If I'm prettier than Shiki then aim for me instead! The harem life isn't bad at all, you know!? You are definitely worthy of a high ranking position in it with your specs!
Shiki sighs. "Sorry Sensei, but I'll pass." You get to live another day. "I have a girl who I'm interested in right now." Who!? Tell me her name right now!
Shiki continues, this time his expression is angry. "And please remember that you are at least in your mid thirties! Have some shame since me and Yuta are high schoolers!"
I expected Sensei to kick him, but instead she just looks down in shame. "Ah, yeah... I'm an old lady now, I can't fool around anymore." Being thirty something isn't that bad! Please regain your spirit!
But this isn't too bad! The worse Sensei feels, the easier it is for me to seduce her! Sorry Sensei, I'll make it up to you by putting a ring on your finger!
I give her a thumbs up. "Don't worry Sensei, you just hit your twenties right? That isn't old at all." I wonder how dangerous a teenage Sensei was...
She looks at me with tears in her eyes. "Twenties? Yes I give that feeling, don't I?" I nod, I could never do anything else! "You're a good boy Yuta!"
In the end, after all that talk about not letting me hug her, she's the one that rushes towards me and envelopes me in a hug.
It doesn't take too much time at all for Shiki and Rika to come close and hug her as well, right now this is a four person hug.
"I'm glad you're back Sensei... Now please go towards the nearest police station and turn yourself in." Those are the beautiful words Shiki says.
Rika sighs. "I'm so happy you're back Sensei! Just don't get any ideas how stealing my man!" No comment about the police!
Then I guess I need to say it. "Yeah, having Sensei back is wonderful... Also please don't turn yourself to the police, I don't want any cops to die."
Sensei smiles. "Ah! Trust me, I'm happy I'm back too!" Her smile breaks a little. "Also, fuck the police, I come straight from the underground." Please change Sensei, please become a better person.
She continues. "And Rika I already stole your man, I'm just that amazing... Which brings me to my next point, please take your hand off my butt Yuta."
My hand is on your butt!? Ah, it's pretty big... Wait, why is my hand on your butt!? "Sorry Sensei, I did it by complete instinct!" I didn't even notice!
Suddenly we are interrupted. "Wow, Yuta really likes butts huh!?" It's the beautiful voice of the woman I just molested a few minutes ago.
Joining a new group of friends can be awkward. You are unused to the dynamics of the group, so often times a person will just listen to their conversation in silence.
Arcueid however, is a person with a lot of energy, so she seamlessly invaded my little social clique. It also helps that Shiki is in general a quiet person, often he just snarks here and there.
But Aoko is someone with enough energy to surpass Arcueid, she's also an old friend of ours, so we subconsciously went back to old habits and ended up ignoring her.
It makes me want to apologize to her, but I won't put her in the spot like that, I'll simply play along.
I smile. "Yeah, butts are the best, and your is definitely the bestest Arcueid." I'll never forget sexually assaulting a vampire!
Arcueid smiles. "You know it!" She's giving me a thumbs up, somehow being happy that I gave her butt a good rating.
Rika frowns. "She's lucky I don't have a butt right now." True, the butt of a loli can be an incredible thing! But don't worry Rika, even without a butt, I still think you're the most beautiful woman in the world.
That said, something changed, Aoko broke free from our hug, and now her eye is twitching.
It's like some sort of realization just hit her like lightning. She points at the vampire with a shocked face, Sensei seems genuinely freaked out.
For some moments she simply stays like that, her finger trembling, but then... "A-a-ah! What the hell are you doing here!?" It figures the most troublesome human would know the most troublesome vampire.
Arcueid mockingly imitates, pointing a shaky finger towards Sensei. "I-I-I'm hunting a vampire of course!" She even copies Sensei's stuttering.
That's dangerous Arcueid, I don't care how strong you are, mocking Sensei could have serious consequences. Then again, you seem to be Sensei's vampire equivalent.
Slowly Sensei lowers her finger. "I guess you would huh? That's on me for taking this job, everyone knows you're after him too..."
Everyone knows? So Arcueid hunting this vampire is public knowledge like that? Has she been after him for a long time? Also, I'm guessing Sensei is after him too, considering what she just said.
That's way too dangerous. The town can handle one measly vampire, but a vampire, Arcueid and Sensei? This city might stop existing soon...
Sensei glares at Arcueid. "But what are you doing around my students? Depending on your answer I might have to take a page out of Zelretch's book."
Arcueid smiles and opens her hands, she has claws now. "Oh yeah~? Is that a threat I hear?" God damn it! What's with the in fighting inside of my harem!?
I get between Sensei and Arcueid, I don't want them to fight. Because I simply cannot choose between my Sensei with massive tits and my vampire with massive tits.
I have a forced smile. "Sensei, let me introduce you to your future sister! As in, this woman will marry the same man you will!"
Sensei sighs. "I find that difficult to believe. Firstly because marrying my pupil would be weird... And secondly, don't believe anything that emotionless princess tells you."
Arcueid however, gasps in shock. "We are!? Who are we marrying!?" I point at myself of course. There's no way I'm letting Arcueid get on with anyone else!
Arcueid's eyes widen in shock. "W-wow, I had no idea you were courting me with marriage in mind! So decisive... I like it~!"
Rika quickly nods. "I know right!? Wait, no! Stop liking Yuta, stay in your lane Bimbocueid!" Her lane is my lane!
Arcueid giggles. "Sorry Rika~! But everytime I try to stay in my lane Yuta pulls me back, mostly by pinching my butt." In my defense, that's a new trick of mine.
I make a thinking pose. "Huh, that move has been surprisingly effective, I wonder if I could use it on Shiki's sister."
Shiki glares at me, for understandable reasons. "Try it. Give me an excuse to finally kill you." He sighs. "Actually I wouldn't get the chance, my sister would turn you into red mist."
I grin. "I guess I should expect that from a sophisticated lady like Akiha... But I was not talking about her. How old is Miyako by the way?"
His glares gains strength that could overpower Arcueid at her peak. "Seventeen pieces, I'm cutting you into seventeen pieces." Ah! Scary!
Aoko gives us an awkward look. "W-what's happening here? Why is the the princess of the true ancestor suddenly giggling to herself like a high schooler?"
Wait, Arcueid is actually a princess...? That doesn't surprise me at all, she gives off immense princess aura after all.
Stereotypes are bad and all, a person shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, I know that. And yet, Arcueid just looks like she couldn't ever be anything, but a princess.
For some reason that makes me a bit sad... I refuse to treat Arcueid like some princess of the vampires, I will force her to watch a bunch of shows! And I will put my dick in her ass!
I smirk. "That's because she couldn't resist my charms, we have a date set-up by the way." I then mutter. "Also Rika fought her and she kinda broke her brain by accident." Those are Arcueid's own words.
Arcueid smiles. "Being defective has certainly been quite the experience! Pizza was pretty nice... Also, getting my butt pinched was a surprising thing! But one I enjoyed!"
Aoko nods with a smile. "I see, I see, so my pupils broke your brain huh?" She looks down, with an expression of fear. "Zelretch might actually kill me." Who's that? You mentioned him before...
She looks at Arcueid. "And what's the butt pinching thing by the way? Why are you talking like you got molested in a train."
Shiki is the one who answers, he pushes his glasses up like an anime smart guy. "That's because Yuta was sexually harassing Arcueid a few moments ago."
He continues. "Actually, remember when you stopped Rika's beam? She was charging that, because she was victim blaming."
Rika makes a strange expression. "How is it victim blaming? It was Yuta who was the victim in the first place." You have a very twisted mind.
Aoko gasps. "Ah! My student jumped up in perversion level and became a sexual deviant!"
She continues. "Now that I think about it, he did grope my butt without permission." It was very nice. "It felt surprisingly nice." It did!?
Sensei has tears in her eyes. "Damn it! I haven't gotten any in so damn long! It's only natural I would be desperate!" Ah, I see. That's good sensei, fall to your base desires.
Arcueid gets close to me and whispers in my ear. "Hey, why did she enjoy your butt grabbing Yuta? What hasn't she gotten in a while?"
I smile. "She's talking about sex of course." The world is truly strange, if a woman like Sensei has failed to get laid.
Arcueid takes a step back, and covers her mouth. "B-but I also enjoyed the butt abuse..." She looks down. "You're a scary guy Yuta." I try.
Rika looks down, a blush on her face. "I-if i had a butt, Yuta would completely ignore yours Bimbocueid, so don't get cocky."
An insecure Rika? In my sight? I cannot allow this sin to continue. I get closer to Rika and plant a kiss on her cheek.
I give her my most powerful harem protagonist smile. "You are the best Rika. Even without a butt you crush the competition." Those are my honest feelings!
Rika blushes. "You always know what to say Yuta~." Well, I did groom you after all... I mean, I grew up with you, I never groomed anyone!
And even if I did, it wasn't that bad! Most people here are groomers. Sensei? A groomer. Arcueid? She's an immortal vampire who keeps reciprocating my flirting. So she's a groomer, she thinks I'm seventeen after all.
Aoko smiles. "Well I'm glad everything seems in order." She looks at Arcueid. "And I don't mind you hanging around if you aren't causing trouble."
Arcueid giggles. "Well, I was going to hang around no matter what! I'm interested in Yuta after all." Why did I feel a chill in my spine just now!?
Arcueid continues. "Oh, I also like Shiki and Rika, they're pretty cool." Why is your tone only normal when talking about them.
Shiki nods to himself. "I guess it's only natural Yuta would attract more of this type of girl." He then looks at Sensei. "By the way, did you not realize Sensei?"
Aoko looks at him. "Realize what Shiki? Your new sense of style? It looks nice by the way, make sure to never forgive your younger self for liking blue and orange so much."
Shiki sighs, and shakes his head. "That's not what I meant. Didn't you notice that Arcueid is going on a date with Yuta? Because she is, and Rika can't stop her." I know, it's the best!
Sensei gets a far away look in her eyes. "It's code red huh..." She looks at me. "I've always feared this day would come." Her eyes are cold.
I raise my hand in questioning, also a bit of fear. A lot of fear! "Sensei what's code red!?" Please don't kill me.
She nods. "I named it red because it stands for the most problematic person in the world." Does that happen to be you!?
She continues. "I once showed her a photo of you to her, and she said... 'He looks cute, might be my type when he grows up.' And now that day has come." I don't think this person was serious, Sensei!
Her tone is full of genuine concern. "Yuta, I can't stop you, your harem is now growing, and I know you always dreamed about that."
She sighs. "Just know that as it expands, and your playboy bastard powers increase, so will the danger the world is in."
Her face is serious. "Remember that with great power comes great responsibility, don't break anyone's heart. Specially if she has red hair, glasses and smokes a lot, or the world might end."
I sigh. "Sensei, it appears I was wrong, you are even younger than someone in their twenties." I glare at her with all my might. "Please grow up, you really need it."
Tears return to her eyes. "Ah! I just told you to not break a girl's heart! This just proves that I'm right! You can't meet her! You can't!" Who are you talking about!?
Shiki sighs. "Sensei, you... Why are you here anyways? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that you're back, but you are also literally a wanted criminal."
Rika smirks. "The police probably just gave up on catching Sensei, and even if they did, she would just destroy the police station... So cool!" Please don't follow her example!
Aoko shrugs. "Eh, I met this little prick called Mario." Nintendo!? "He works for the church or whatever, and if I do the job he gave me, he's going to clear my name and give me tons of cash." Wait, Italians are real!?
Aoko looks down. "Well, he can clear my name, but not the shame that is constantly following me."
Her voice is breaking. "D-do you know the humiliation I felt when Alice called me and told me she could not be friends with a pedophile!? My best friend saw I was a fugitive on TV!" You talk about this Alice a lot, but I never met her.
Aoko covers her face with her hands. "Sweet Alice told me she was going to stop me herself, for the sake of the old friendship we shared."
She continues. "I had to beg for a second chance, then I had to shamefully explain to her that I wasn't gonna do 'that' with you guys."
Sensei is struggling to not fall to her knees. "And then... Her gaze changed from disgust and disappointment to pity. 'Ah, you can't have children due to a lack of a spouse, so you felt like you had to kidnap some, I heard cats do that sometimes.' She had the gall to me that!"
I imagine this Alice will have a heart attack when you eventually tell her we are getting married. Sorry Alice, I'm so sorry.
Sensei shakes her head. "Anyways, basically I'm hunting down a vampire." Her confidence returns. "And clearly you guys are as well."
She points at me. "Be glad Yuta! The strongest and coolest woman of all time has joined your party."
I shrug. "Cool, anyways we are going to ignore the vampire for now, so we can go home and watch movies, wanna join?"
"Eh!?"
AN: Fuck shipping a character with another character, I ship Aoko with myself!
One day we will have the technology to make her real, then we will see who's laughing!
