[Sorry Haji. Even though today is our long-awaited date]
Saturday morning. Today it was practically a holiday except for so programs that still had lecture. Haji and Shizuku were walking through the campus at this mont.
There weren't Yue and the others with them. It was because they didn't have any lecture they needed to attend at this ti, like the majority of the students. Of course, Haji and Shizuku were also the sa.
In the first place, today was the day for their long-awaited date. It was only natural that they were alone.
Then, why were they going out of their way coming to the university then?
[I told you to not worry about it right? We have ti at the afternoon anyway.]
[You aren't wrong but......]
[Our plan today is basically going to where Shizuku want to go, so if Shizuku is fine with this then I'm also fine. Friends are important after all.]
[Yes......thanks.]
Shizuku's troubled expression softened completely. But then it instantly tensed again.
[This is my first ti eting her directly since that ti after all......I'm a bit nervous.]
Shizuku held her hand in front of her chest with a ek face and looked at the distant. It still hadn't co into view, but her gaze was directed toward the practice place of the kendo club.
[Fudou-san, I hope she's doing well......]
To tell the truth, the person they were planning to et after this was Fudou Akari--a kendo club high school girl who challenged Shizuku to a duel before.
The girl harbored a severe complex toward her own appearance and physique. Kendo was the only thing that she was proud of herself, so she held a strong feeling of rivalry toward Shizuku who was above her.
Then she got the impression that Shizuku easily forsake kendo for the sake of man, as the result she lost her self-control and committed a violent deed.
...... It was violent in various senses. After all she cosplayed as Dart Vade* in the middle of day and assaulted Kaori.
[It was shocking in various senses huh. Both for Shizuku and also for .]
[My sanity, got scraped off that ti.]
Haji shivered from rembering that ti.
It couldn't be helped. He never even dread that Yue and others had secretly invited the clothing shop monster of a certain town in Tortus into earth. Because of that his butt got in danger.
The manly woman's ambush was so horrifying that Haji even went as far as doing seiza face to face with Yue to admonish her with a strict expression. His admonishnt was so earnest at that ti that Yue could only mutter ...... Yes.......yes, forgive , yes.......] repeatedly. She was turned into a nodding robot like a new employee who made a big blunder and got scolded severely by the company boss.
Getting back on topic.
After that Fudou Akari reconciled with Shizuku and she was also able to co to terms with her own clouded heart. In addition she received Christabel's magical flesh modification (principle unknown) and beca a tall beauty. She achieved excellent result even in kendo tournant and beca famous......for those points, even Haji knew about them.
But, he hadn't really heard about the exchange happening between Shizuku and Fudou in great detail.
[You were still in contact with her even after that weren't you?]
[Only sotis like before a tournant. I was hoping that could be of so help for her but......it looks like it was unnecessary.]
Shizuku put on a slightly lonely smile, even so her footsteps were light.
It seed Fudou had put all her effort into facing herself. But it seed she couldn't help but be conscious of Shizuku if she was nearby so she refused even when Shizuku wanted to co to cheer for her in tournant.
She didn't do that because she was rejecting Shizuku by any ans but, she was hesitant in eting Shizuku directly, or to talk to her normally or going out together like a friend. But this ti she was the one taking the initiative to say I want to et you] to Shizuku. She said I want you to look at my current self] .
Shizuku was obviously happy to hear that.
[--"I'll work hard so I can like myself one day". She said that at that ti. Surely she has managed to make it a reality.]
[You look happy. Well, you're going to et again soone who you're concerned with, so it's no wonder that you're even putting off a date with your hubby for that.]
[Oh, are you sulking?]
Shizuku was responding to Haji's joking shrug with another joke from herself.
Also, Fudou was attending a different university. By coincidence there was an intercampus match and practice eting in their university's kendo club today, so most likely Fudou also wanted to show herself doing kendo to Shizuku there. Both of them knew where the other enrolled into, so she contacted Shizuku when she learned of this chance.
The kendo club's practice place that was located at the edge of the campus ca into view as they were having such talk. It was a building that looked like a three-storied gymnasium. The first floor was for judo club. Second floor was karate club, and the third floor was kendo club's practice place.
They entered the entrance that had a distinctive reddish brown floor where they could hear the judo club's spirited yells and impactful sounds of bodies hitting the mat. That was because the tal door that led to the judo club's practice place was opened fully.
The entrance that also doubled as a break room had vending machines and benches too. So judo club and karate club mbers were there with juice can in one hand taking a break each in their own way.
[O-oi, that]
[Uwah, she's smoking hot]
The atmosphere changed the mont Shizuku entered. The gazes of the majority of the club mbers were drawn in.
And so, Shizuku imdiately entangled her arm around Haji's arm. She also didn't forget to place the ring in her left hand's finger ring at an angle that was visible to see.
The mood instantly got dampened. Shizuku's response was very practiced.
The appraising gazes toward Haji got returned with Haji's eye glint. He didn't really put much emotion into his return gaze because these people weren't really doing anything botherso. But, this was Haji doing it. A re expressionless stare back possessed a force that was equal or surpassing a certain blasphemous exorcist's eye glint that seed to say I'll......kill youuu-].
Of course, everyone of the judo club and karate club didn't see anything. They decided that they didn't see anything and resud the conversations among themselves while wiping their strangely cold sweat.
[Co-, c-c-co-, co to think of it did you see the kendo club?]
[Y-yeah, I saw. There was this one seriously dangerous fellow!]
[That one who ca for the intercampus match right? That one certainly was bad news! You couldn't possibly miss that fellow at all!]
Shizuku's ears twitched in reaction while she was walking toward the stairs. Perhaps they were talking about Fudou-san? That must be it, they must be curious if a beauty like that turned out to be really strong. Sohow it made her happy thinking that——
[That ain't a woman's body ain't it?]
[That intensity when looking at her. Just what the hell is she eating to turn into a gorilla like that.]
[Her existence itself is already at gag level!]
The club mbers all laughed in amusent.
Shizuku felt bewildered for a mont, thinking if there was another female club mber with splendid physique. But well, in any case.
[ [ [HIH!?] ] ]
She understood one thing. These guys were laughing about a woman's appearance, so she looked back across her shoulder and smiled sweetly.
The judo & karate club mbers all cringed with fear. They wondered why. They just completely hallucinated themselves getting slashed diagonally across their body. They hurriedly patted over their bodies to ascertain that their parts were still attached together.
[Let's go, Haji.]
[Ussu]
Shizuku let go of Haji's arm and stomped up the stairs as though to say that she didn't want to stay
here any longer.
Haji's mouth grinned as he said [Not bad] while following behind her quietly.
And then.
[--Ah, Yaegashi..............long ti no see.]
[F-Fudou-san......]
Shizuku was reunited.
With Fudou Akari whose appearance had gone back to before for so reason.
Shizuku stood frozen at the entrance of the practice place with her eyes widened like saucer.
They must have arrived when it was break ti. That was partly why everyone regardless of male and female naturally turned their attention toward the beautiful outsider who suddenly showed up. So of the males got slightly noisy.
Fudou who was talking with another club mber in a spot relatively close with the entrance finished her current conversation briefly before walking toward Shizuku.
Her physique was clearly brawny even with the dougi covering her body. Her height was also still 180 cm
like before......no, she had grown even further and now she might be over 190 cm.
[Thanks for coming today. You're beautiful like always, Yaegashi.]
[Eh? Ah, no, that's......]
[Fufu, what's wrong? You're making a face like a pigeon that got shot by peashooter.]
[Err, because Fudou-san, you......]
Fudou shrugged seeing Shizuku's bewildernt as though to say that it couldn't be helped. And then, she
passed beside Shizuku and Haji and ca out to the hallway. She looked back over her shoulder and
smiled suddenly.
[We can't talk leisurely here, so how about getting out for now?]
[Y-yes, you're right. Err, is it alright? I heard that there's intercampus match going on.]
[You ca right while it's at a stopping point. Everyone is taking a break before going into the practice
eting so it's fine.]
[That so......okay then.]
[Long ti no see too Nagumo. I was really indebted to you for that ti.]
[O-ou. Great to see you're doing well.]
Fudou-san went down the stairs to lead the way.
Even Haji was looking wide-eyed at her back while staying rooted on the spot. To agitate the man who
even got called as the demon god, perhaps it ought to be called as a spectacular feat in a sense.
[What's wrong? Let's go.]
[[Ah, yes.] ]
Fudou smiled brightly and urged the two to follow, so Haji and Shizuku reflexively nodded their heads
up and down and followed.
The way she completely controlled the pace of the talk too, there was no doubt that the jaws of the world leaders who treated Haji with prudence would fall off if they saw it.
The three went outside and went to a small place for relaxation outside that was nearby. It was a well sunlit
place with six set of tables that were for four people each.
There was nobody else there. Haji and Shizuku sat side by side at one of the tables with Fudou sitting opposite of them. The tal chair scread *Gii-*.
It seed the magnificent body build before them wasn't illusion at all.
Fudou had bought them canned coffee on their way there saying [Once again, thanks for making ti for
today] . The two took a sip of their coffee and exhaled fuuh.
[[Why're you back to before!?] ]
Haji and Shizuku finally couldn't hold back anymore and raised their voices in harmony.
It must be an expected reaction. Fudou-san put her hand over her mouth and laughed in amusent. But
right after that, she tilted her head with a gentle gaze and,
[Do I look the sa like when I caused trouble for everyone?]
She said such thing.
Haji and Shizuku reflexively looked at each other. They then looked once more at Fudou.
Certainly, her appearance was back to normal in a glance. Her body built was like a hero in Arican
comic, and her burly looking face and features, also her sharp eyes, and her deep voice were the sa like
before.
But, but if they were asked whether she was the sa like before......
...... No, no you don't look the sa. Fudou-san, you......you look pretty sohow.]
[Yeah. Let retract my words just now. I mistook you.]
[Fufu, thanks. I'm happy to hear the two of you say that.]
Her hair was glossy. The black of her hair was jet black, and she was also paying attention and arranging
her hairstyle even though she had just co from practice.
Her thick eyebrows were also arranged prettily. Her skin was surprisingly smooth. She was also wearing
costic perfectly with the assumption that she would be sweaty.
Indeed. She was certainly different from before. She was returning to her original appearance but, they
could see that she herself was the one paying attention to herself to the fullest.
[There's still just a bit of the effect remaining though. I think that perhaps, it's the parting gift from
Christabel-sensei.]
Her single-edged eyelids beca double-edged eyelid, her split chin beca shapely, her standing out
cheeks also had sank in slightly and the lines until her chin beca neater. Her eyelashes were also
abundant and curling prettily.
So to speak there was body changes in the level of minor costic surgery still remaining.
But, surely those were just a trivial aspect to her current transformation.
What changed the most from her was her atmosphere.
Her atmosphere was peaceful and stable like a solid tree that had grown its roots deep into the ground.
Residing inside her eyes were peaceful and gentle hue. The two could clearly see how she was seeing her surrounding fully and overflowing with confidence.
The physical beauty of trained body, and atmosphere that was filled to the brim with confidence and kindness, also combined with outstanding make up technique made her looked like an ancient sculpture of beautiful female warrior that was created by an eminent artist.
There was also her unique features that she had from the start, which left an impression of an exotic
beauty that was sowhat removed from a Japanese person. It was a beauty in a different vector from
Shizuku.
[Feels like people are going to call you Anego or Nee-san like this.]
[Wait Haji--]
[Oh, great guess. Even my seniors are calling like that. It seems they're calling like that not
because I look old but because they feel that I'm reliable so it's also hard for to correct them......it's slightly troubling.]
So you're really called like that! Shizuku-san retorted like that inside her heart, even so she was also soone who got called "Onee-sama" by people idolizing her even if they were older so a feeling of kinship welled up strongly inside her.
By the way, Fudou-san was really being extrely relied on. She was strong and tough, understood woman's heart more than anyone else, furthermore she was really kind. Let's be clear. Sisters of the soul
were starting to be born in her university!
[Looks like there's no problem in the end but......perhaps, this is because I sent Christabel ho? Then it's my bad. No, but there wasn't any other choice though.]
[No, it's unrelated. I think that sensei understood that I would want to return to my original
appearance.]
[What do you an?]
["Talk together with your muscle if by chance you want to return to before"--that person said that to
.]
[I see. I don't get it.]
[It's muscle-building. I was able to return to before when I and my muscles quietly faced each other.]
[I see, as expected I don't get it.]
[The muscles, are muscles as expected. Well trained muscles can solve most problem. J
[That's right isn't it, it's protein isn't it.]
Haji with his dead eyes abandoned comprehension toward the manly woman-style of flesh remodeling technique. Shizuku took his place and asked in further detail. The "how" didn't matter anymore, instead she
asked the "why"
part.
[I got a lot of good mories experiencing being a "beauty". The world looked bright, and there were a
lot of benefit being one. But--]
[But?]
Fudou-san's face beca slightly troubled and she took a sip of the sweet coffee. She wet her throat and
recalled the past with a distant gaze.
[There were a lot of things that I could see from that experience which were a part of the reason but, as I
thought my biggest reason was......Okaa-san. You see, she looked a bit sad at that ti.]
......I dealt with the surrounding's perception toward Fudou-san's change to so degree but......you said that you're going to explain by yourself to your family didn't you?]
[Yes. I was sowhat carried away at that ti. At first I didn't notice, and Otou-san was plainly happy for
but......of course, Okaa-san also gave her blessing when she saw how pretty I beca you know? But,
I noticed after a while.]
Fudou Akari took after her father. That similarity was to an amazing degree. To a degree that anyone would want to tsukkomi, Genetic, you worked too hard! Even so, the mother must have loved her daughter's everything, including her appearance even knowing that her daughter felt worried for her appearance and
physique.
She listened to her daughter who had beca beautiful talking about her enjoyable days, even so there was a tinge of sadness deep inside her eyes.
Fudou Akari noticed that for the first ti when her heart managed to calm down and she could finally see
her surrounding.
And then, after noticing that........
[Certainly there're a lot of advantages in being beautiful, but. I'm thinking that I'll stay as myself and
polish that actual self of mine. Because, I think for that might be "the way I can co to like myself
from the heart" in the right way.]
[....... see, you're right.]
Seeing Fudou smiling peacefully made Shizuku felt like the inside of her chest constricted for so reason.
Perhaps that was because she was moved. Shizuku was moved by Fudou Akari's will and way of life that also looked beautiful.
That was why,
[You look really lovely right now, Fudou-san.]
She only said that short sentence. But, it was a praise that ca from her heart. She replied back with
those words with feeling of gratitude to Fudou for showing her new self to her.
Fudou closed her eyes to digest those words carefully. A second later, she wore a pretty smile where the gloominess and self-abasent that she harbored in the past were nonexistent.
[Fufu, thank you. This is thanks to you accepting my feeling head on.]
She replied like that.
The two looked at each other calmly. Haji-san inevitably felt out of place to be here like he was a nuisance. He filled in the ti by drinking his canned coffee while worrying [Is this where I should say
that line? As I thought, should I say "Let's leave the rest to the two youngsters" and get outta here?] inside
his heart.
Perhaps Fudou-san noticed that. She turned her gaze toward him with a slightly apologetic look.
[You too Nagumo, I had troubled you a lot. Let apologize for that ti once more. Please allow to
go apologize to that girl Shirasaki-san too in the near future.]
Haji smiled wryly in respond to that consideration and nodded.
[In that case, how about you go out to play together next ti?]
[Eh? Play?]
[If your original goal of being able to like yourself is already achieved, then your ban of being friend with
Shizuku is also lifted up right? I think this is a good chance.]
[W-wait Haji? What're you saying?]
[Because you're lonely right? You couldn't really talk or go out together with her even though you two
had exchanged phone number.]
[T-that's......]
Fudou looked amazed by Haji's sudden revelation. Her gaze reflexively turned toward Shizuku, where
she found Shizuku blushing while her gaze was darting around everywhere except toward her.
Cute......that was Fudou's honest thought. At the sa ti she understood.
[I see now. Nagumo too got done in by this side of Yaegashi aren't you?]
[You really got there, I guess. To be more accurate]
[Just what're you two talking about!]
Fudou and Haji were getting into so kind of understanding with each other while leaving her out of
it. Shizuku reddened even more in respond to that. Fudou laughed lightheartedly seeing such Shizuku.
[Just call Akari. I'll also call you Shizuku in return. It's fine right?]
[! Yes, of course!]
Shizuku leaped toward the large hand that Fudou offered from across the table and their hands joined.
Regardless of the different hand size, the firmness of the two's palms were really similar. As expected the two beca even happier noticing that and their smiles deepened.
After that Haji and Shizuku could be found in the university's cafeteria. They had finished lunch a long ti ago and now they were relaxing while drinking after al tea.
[Even so, that was a fulfilling morning. I can't believe that it's still 2 PM.J
[It's really as you said. I already anticipated Shizuku and Fudou handshaking but......to think sothing like that would happen......]
The two looked at each other and smiled wryly together.
It was just as Haji said, after Shizuku and Fudou ford friendship, they had a kendo match against each other.
At first Shizuku and Haji only observed the practice eting because it was a rare chance, but by doing that naturally the other club mbers who didn't know well about the circumstance beca greatly curious about why the two were there.
Then Fudou explained her relationship with them but, Shizuku's expertise in kendo ca to light from that. So among them even rembered about Shizuku from magazines where she appeared during her middle and high school period.
From there the events naturally flowed to everyone wanting to see Shizuku's kendo.
Shizuku resigned from doing kendo because she was concerned about her influence toward other people, so naturally she refused even there. But it was none other than Fudou who admonished Shizuku for that stance.
[Your concern for other people is a virtue but, isn't it fine to do kendo just to enjoy yourself? You don't hate kendo after all, right?]
She said. Furthermore, it seed from the start she had intended to cross swords with Shizuku, so she had intentionally brought dougi and protectors in Shizuku's size beforehand.
Even Shizuku got motivated after seeing Fudou going that far for her. It was even more so after Haji gave her a restrain in the form of artifact that he claid to be able to allow her [You can get serious even if you can't go full power with this] .
The result of the bout was....... it went without saying.
It seed that bout had beco legendary for the two universities despite it being unofficial. For a while Shizuku got surrounded by the club mbers regardless of which university they belonged to. Needless to say she got dragged into a fierce competition to recruit her.
Although, that mory wasn't what actually in the minds of Haji and Shizuku right now.
[I wonder if those two will be alright?]
[Who knows.......it looks like they will serve as each other's consultation partner for a while, but in the end it will depend on them themselves.]
[Well, you're right.]
Sothing that could be called an incident in a sense without exaggeration occurred in the middle of Shizuku and Fudou's bout.
Unexpected visitor approached Haji who was in the middle of watching.
It was Nemoto-kun who was giving up his holiday and holed himself inside the library to finish the paper that he failed to finish in ti because of the unexpected endurance streaming he did.
Both Haji and Shizuku stood out, so their unexpected visit to the campus quickly spread out. The rumor reached Nemoto's ear and he ca to see them while also taking a break.
Then, he got hit by lightning. Of course, it was a taphor.
[So human can fall in love at first sight exactly like in the cliché like that.]
[I didn't see that mont but.......fufu, he was really red.]
Yes, very shockingly,
When the bout ended and Fudou-san took off her head guard, that Nemoto-kun saw her satisfied smile. In that mont, his heart got smashed through by a pile bunker.
According to him,
[T-that's a real Maris*-sama......]
Apparently it was like that.
He talked about a character in the fighting ga that Haji and his friends played excitedly not long ago. There was a charming female character who possessed both daintiness and kindness, in addition of wonderful beauty of the physique and fighting spirit.
Actually Nemoto-kun used the old gentleman with psycho power when he wanted to take pleasure in beating soone he couldn't stomach, but his favorite character was that M*risa.
There was one reason for that. Because for him, brawny woman really hit his strike zone. Perhaps it was because he had small stature and a body constitution that was hard to gain muscle. When he realized it, his heart was helplessly attracted toward woman who was big and strong despite being female, and yet possessing kindness too in addition--that beca his taste.
[That guy, he should be fundantally really shy with soone who he isn't close with but...... to think he can show guts like that.]
[True. You suddenly called alone, then there was Nemoto-kun who was acting strange at your side, I was wondering what's the matter, but while listening to the story, my heart went *kyun* just like when I read Sumire-sensei's work. ]
Before that Nemoto grabbed Haji's collar and desperately asked [That girl!? Who in the world is that girl!?]. It went without saying that Haji beca dumbfounded and speechless and could only do as he asked.
He was so taken aback that he unconsciously sent help request using "Telepathy" to Shizuku who was dragged into a recruitnt competition. Haji too was shaken by his friend's drastic transformation.
At the end Shizuku too showed a reaction [Oh myy!] like a mom while introducing the two to each other under the pretense of introducing each other's friends.
Of course, the kendo club mbers who wanted to recruit Shizuku also gathered around in droves.
Nemoto-kun was so nervous that he was shaking and couldn't see the many club mbers around them. Fudou-san was looking down at him in puzzlent because of that while Haji was putting in effort on his own way to introduce his friend "in a good light". And then, Shizuku also explained the situation in a roundabout way into Fudou's ear.
Fudou-san didn't understand what Shizuku was saying and beca like a space cat for a short while. Then Nemoto-kun stomped down his gloomy character archetype and displayed his manliness.
It was a straightforward confession.
Even Haji was super shocked! The club mbers were also super duper shocked! Only Shizuku got really excited saying [Attaboy Nemoto-kun! Nice guts you have there!] .
[Fudou-san was really cute~~ when she understood the situation.]
[Yeah. Even when we got the two of them to eat lunch together here because we might as well, the two were completely red the whole ti. Sohow even us who were just watching got restless.]
The words young and innocent were really perfect to describe the two of them.
Fudou-san looked disbelieving at first, but Haji talked to her about his episode with Nemoto and Yonekura, told her that Nemoto was a man who could be trusted, and most of all she saw the seriousness in Nemoto's eyes and gradually believed him.
After that, it was her turn to fall into a mini panic next. Most likely, if the two were left alone then they would stay conscious of each other, however, the silence would keep on stretching forever until the lunch
ended.
After all, both were late bloor among late bloors.
Haji and Shizuku also got desperate in the middle. The two of them sought common topic to talk about, exchanged jokes to bait them into laughing, and if there was opening they would attempt to make the two talked directly with each other.
They fought a fierce battle with the resolve that they would never let go of this chance where spring had abruptly arrived for their respective important friend.
[Well, it's great that in the end it looked like it went well.]
[Yes, really. Fufu, it's good that we changed our dating plan seeing that we could be useful as love cupid even if for a bit isn't it?]
[Yeah.]
For the ti being, they had succeeded in making the two exchanging contact address under the guise of being friends. From here on, it was unknown how those two would end up.
Not only there were height difference of more than 30 cm between the two, the two were top class in their respective field in the real and electronic world. Whether a new couple would be born between the two or not, nobody knew. That was sothing that only god would know.
But, Haji and Shizuku wanted to support the two of them wholeheartedly.
[Igotta tell Yonekura about this later.]
[I'll consult Kaori about this later.]
The two took a sip of their tea. They sighed and smiled together. They couldn't help but greatly looking forward to the future of their friends.
[Well, putting that aside.]
[Yes, you're right.]
Fudou was already going back together with her fellow kendo club mbers. Nemoto was of course sprinting back to the library to continue finishing his paper.
They had no more business in the campus. One hour had already passed since the lunch. And then,
[If I rember right, the venue should be open until 5 PM. I think we can still make it if we go now but......]
[Well, even if it's no good we can just go around shopping right? There'll be another chance.]
Their original plan for their date today--going to watch cosplay event, looking around at fashion-type shops, Shizuku having her fill of the "cute" things she loved--could still work.
And yet, the two were still relaxing in a place like the campus's cafeteria. Just why in the world?
[That fellow, is she loitering sowhere on the way here?]
[Considering the ti when Ai-chan contacted us, it won't be strange even if she arrived already
though......]
Yes, that was because they were waiting (reluctantly) for soone.
That person was of course——
[Ah]
Shizuku's eyes widened when she looked behind Haji. A queer atmosphere was slithering in!
[--Aku]
A high school girl was standing with swaying posture at the cafeteria's entrance. Her twintail fluttered even though there wasn't any wind.
[--Soku]
There was a wooden sword in the girl's hand. It was pointed down languidly just like the formless stance that was the innermost essence of sword. The girl took a step forward while keeping such stance.
What's that girl!? It was incomparable to the weekdays, even so there were still a considerable number of students inside the cafeteria who muttered so in surprise. Then right after that.
[--Satsu-] (TN: It should be "zan" here which an slash, but the author replace it with "satsu" which
an slay)
It was a wonderful step in. In a form of bad manner, the girl stepped on a table to use as a stepping stone for performing an astounding leap. Despite exposing her pure white panty to everyone around, she used even the force of gravity to be her ally and launched a one-hit-kill attack!!
[CHESTOOOOooooooooo!!!]
A straight cleaving struck toward the crown of the loathso Haji's head from behind!
Anything like stopping the strike before it hit was unthinkable. Anyone witnessing the strike from the outside could see the girl was seriously attacking to kill! The attack was overflowing with drive and rage that clearly conveyed murderous intent to anybody watching. There wasn't even anyti for anyone to
shout a warning.
Everyone had pictured it in their mind. In the next mont, there would be the sight of the man's head smashed onto the ground and went *splat* like tomato!
Of course,
[Finally you're here. You're slow, kouhai.]
Though the wooden sword was very easily stopped by two fingers catching its edge.
[Kuh, my Ryuu Tsui Sen that I had trained hard to obtain in order to defeat senpai is-]
[Since when you beca Hitokiri *attousai?]
[As I thought I should learn to imitate Waterfowl Dance instead!]
[Eh? You think you can!? That's the technique of Elden world's strongest character you know!?]
[I'll make the impossible possible if it's to defeat senpai and rescue Onee-sama! That's (Soul Sister)!]
The two were heating up for so reason. With an atmosphere like the final battle between the hero and
the demon king.
Though the place wasn't the demon king castle but the campus's cafeteria.
And so,
[Cut it out already!]
ГАВАН!?]
The knuckle fist of Shizuku-oneesama who had circled behind without anyone noticing fell on the head of
the attacker--Hino Rin aka Kouhai-chan.
There was a painful sounding dull thud, at the sa ti Kouhai-chan fell flat on the floor. She looked like
a stag beetle from how her twintail got splayed forward and her limbs rustling on the ground.
The frozen ti of the cafeteria finally started moving from that. Noises spread out to every corner
imdiately.
Though there were also so who got fired up and blathered out things like, [Yosshaa. This ti finally ca!] [It's worth it praying everyday so that harem bastard fell into bloodbath and got stabbed! Thank you god!] [Or rather, that guy even laid his hand on high school girl huh! Brutish bastard-] [Shit, so close! JK-chan, nice guts!] . (TN: JK=Joshi Kousei=female high school student)
Haji's face was twitching slightly from those voices, even so he confiscated the assassin weapon for the
ti being.
Right after that, Kouhai-chan sprang up like a grasshopper and then hopped up and down *pyonpyon* also
like a grasshopper while her hands reached out.
[Give it back-, my Touyako!]
[No wonder it's a nice wooden sword, did you go until Hokkaido to secure it?]
[I got dragged into one trouble or another!]
As expected from Kouhai-chan. It seed that even going to Hokkaido wasn't a simple trip for her.
The famous wooden sword that had the kanji of Touyako (Lake Toya) engraved on its handle was sothing
that even Haji slightly desired, so he was appreciating it with jealousy even while holding back the head of Kouhai-chan with one hand while she was trying to leap at him.
Shizuku interposed herself between them with an exasperated face.
[Ai-chan-sensei had contacted us. Good grief, just what're you doing? Or rather, I thought that you would arrive faster though......]
When they received the call Please secure her if you et her over there!, they could just ignore it but,
thinking back they hadn't t Kouhai-chan for a while, so in the end they decided to wait for her.
[I'm sorry Onee-sama. I'm late because I got questioned by police three tis, beat down a purse
snatcher, and escorted a lost kid to police box.]
[Aa~, hm, I see.]
Shizuku couldn't make any retort anymore. Even if when Kouhai-chan said that she almost got questioned three tis ant that she shook off the polices until three tis, even if she didn't use the wording "catch" and worded it as "beat down" instead in regard to the purse snatcher, by absolutely no ant she
didn't pursue those things any further just because she was tired.
[More importantly!]
Kouhai-chan gave up taking back Touyako and hugged Shizuku-oneesama with all her strength. She
casually buried her face into the valley of Shizuku's breasts and grinded her face there.
While she was at it, Suu-haa-suu-haa! Kaaah, I'm revivedddd, it's finally the Onee-sama particle after so long-! It's spreading through my five viscera and six internal organs yeahhh, she also didn't forget to have her fill of her Onee-sama's beloved scent.
While the surrounding people were going Eeeh? Shouldn't a female quarrel break out at this kind of ti? or
Shouldn't both girls screaming [Who's this woman?] at the man with condemnation there? in bewildernt, Kouhai-chan tossed a bomb.
With a very loud voice, as though she was trampling down on the concept of TPO (ti, place, and
occasion).
[What's the aning of this Onee-sama! I heard about your children making plan for next year!!]
[Heyyyyy!!]
Making children~, making childrennn~, making childrennnn~!!
Those words echoed strangely loudly. The cafeteria fell deathly silent. But it didn't stop there.
[I won't allow Onee-sama to have Nagumo-senpai's child! If you're going to have child then have my
child!]
[What is this girl saying!?]
[If that's no good then I'll have Onee-sama's child!!]
[This idiot! Be quiet already!!]
Kouhai-chan's eyes that were shining fierily like a beast was quiet seriously scary that Shizuku-oneesama
reflexively threw her away.
Kouhai-chan let out an indecent voice [Aahn] and collapsed on the floor while glaring angrily at Haji
for so reason.
[Even though I thought it would never happen while everyone is still student, even though I thought I still have ti extension to take back Onee-sama! To plan to impregnate Onee-sama while you two are still attending college, this savage senpai! You're spoiling the "Plan: Onee-sama's fall into yuri" I'm cooking up
like this!]
[No, that ain't my business. What's with that plan. Look there, Shizuku is shaking from the chills of
hearing your plan.]
[Kuuh, for Onee-sama to have her stomach swelling roundly while still being student, just imagining such Onee-sama......uu]
Just what was she imagining? *Sprtt* Crimson love spurted out from Kouhai-chan's nose. Scary. Shizuku-
oneesama unconsciously backed away.
It seed that she had sohow powered up while they hadn't seen her for a while. Perhaps she had been accumulating various things because of being unable to et with Shizuku-oneesama daily.
The falling silent cafeteria burst into commotion after seeing the exchange that happened between Haji
and Kouhai-chan! The noises couldn't be compared to before! What's going on!? Just what's going on!?
People here and there were getting bewildered like that in chaos!
Of course they would. After all just when they thought that the unforgivable harem bastard would finally
get the bloodbath that should be a long ti coming for him, it actually wasn't a fight over the man but a
fight over one of the girls.
Or rather, the talk of a girl wanting to make a child with another girl like it was only natural was expediting
the chaos even more.
[In the first place no child can be made from between two girls!]
A pointing out of fact like a teacher trying to reason with an elentary school student burst out from
Shizuku.
That's right isn't it?That's right isn't it? It's not that actually one of the girls is a femboy right? Even if by chance they're talking about a dical possibility, it's still impossible right now isn't it? Everyone in the
surrounding nodded in agreent like that with Shizuku's statent.
But however, Kouhai-chan stood up and strongly made a declaration. One that was announced boldly and
with air of conviction filling it.
[What are you saying! You can just grow out sothing like pen*s later on!!]
Is that true!? Isn't the modern dical science too aweso if it can do that!? Everyone at the surrounding got shocked & bewildered.
[Isn't that right!? If it's with Nagumo-senpai's power then sothing like pen*s is easypeasy!]
Is that true!? Isn't Nagumo-senpai too amazing!? Everyone at the surrounding got shocked & bewildered.
[Well, I guess it's possible to make soone into trans for the current , but]
You're lying right!? You can really do it!? Everyone thought. Their commonsense already broke down and
their eyes started swirling around.
[Ain't no way I'll apply that to a dangerous character like you. Shizuku will be in danger.]
[Then give the pen*s to Onee-sama! I'll welco it anyti!!]
[Ain't no way I'll do that.]
[Kuh, you really are going to impregnate Onee-sama at all costs huh! Now that it has co to this I can
only chesto Nagumo-senpai's pen*s to make you into a girl-]
[What terrifying way of thinking. Oi stop. Don't stare at my crotch with bloodshot eyes like that.]
Kouhai-chan in her hopelessly out of control mode yelled her desire and ambition loudly in the chaotic cafeteria, accelerating the chaos.
And so, the Onee-sama finally snapped.
[Cut it out alreaaaaady-!!]
[GUUEAAAA!!?]
Using the Lake Toya that she stole from Haji using the barehanded sword disarming technique, Shizuku-
oneesama landed a finishing thrust on Kouhai-chan's stomach like in a kendo match. Her technique was
masterfulll-, perhaps because of the high-level kendo bout she had not long ago!
A voice that a girl shouldn't make from her mouth ca out from Kouhai-chan. She then fell on her knees
while holding her stomach.
Shizuku straightened herself smoothly from her thrusting stance before sharply pointing Lake Toya toward
Kouhai-chan.
[A girl must not yell "pen*s, pen*s" repeatedly!]
Eh? That!? That kind of mood drifted in the air. There were also so people here and there looking like
they were thinking She's like a mom scolding her child......, or making tsukkomiNo, you're also saying that
word loudly there......
But, even though Shizuku would normally notice and tremble in sha, it seed that Kouhai-chan's out of
control actions and statents had slightly touched a nerve.
[Also, I'll say at least this much.]
As though she had forgotten her surrounding, Shizuku yelled toward Kouhai-chan who was looking up at
her [O-Onee-sama?] while dripping in greasy sweat and kneeling on the floor. Furthermore her yelling
was really loud.
[No matter what anyone say, I'll give birth to Haji's child! That's what I've decided! If you have any
complain then I'll accept your challenge! Co at anyti!]
Everyone at the surrounding thought, You're so cool there, oi!
And, their gazes naturally gathered toward the one other related party Haji.
[ .........]
They witnessed his figure pressing both his hands on his face to endure his embarrassnt. Are you a
maiden huh, everyone made such tsukkomi inside their hearts.
[Uu, uuu]
Kouhai-chan stood up while her legs were trembling like a newly born fawn.
She still glared fiercely at Haji even with her tear-stained face. Next she looked toward her Onee-sama
with a pained look, then a second passed. Seeing the depth of that resolve and determination, tears
blurred out her eyes even more......
[Uwaaaaaaaaaaahn, stupid Onee-sama! Stupid Onee-sama! Should just give birth to a healthy baby and
live happilyyyyy-, dammit allllll-!!]
She yelled out such parting threat (?) while running back ho with a reckless dash.
[Troubleso fellow. She got too much energy.]
[I wonder why......sohow or another, it feels like she'll still be near us sowhere no matter how many
years passed.]
Haji and Shizuku looked a bit tired, even so they didn't hate Kouhai-chan regardless of everything.
She didn't reject them, and right now she was soone who knew about the hidden side of Nagumo family.
Certainly, they got a premonition that their association with each other would last for long.
[Well, putting that aside]
Haji had secretly attached a transmission device on Kouhai-chan, so he sent the transmission from it to
Aiko's smartphone while running his gaze at the surrounding. He smiled wryly.
[We're slightly standing out, so let's go to our date already.]
[Eh? Ah......]
Shizuku finally noticed the gazes from the surrounding and felt aghast when she recalled her words and
action just now.
It was as though she got boiling water splashed all over her. She went bright red all over her body. Awawa,
awawawah, her lips trembled and she pleaded at Haji with teary eyes.
[Haji! T-the Neuralyz*r-, quick! Flash them all! Flash!]
[Ee~, sooner or later they'll learn anyway so it's pointless right?]
[My mind won't last until that "sooner or later" co!]
[ShizukuJ
[What!? Quickly--J
[Erasing soone's mory so casually like that is improper I believe.]
[Why do you beco sensible in tis timinggg!!]
Shizuku hid behind Haji and pressed her body on him even though it was aningless to do that. Even
now she looked like she was going to cry while grabbing Haji's collar and shaking him back and forth.
Yep, cute...... Haji-san was satisfied, but as expected he didn't use the mory alteration artifact
Neuralyz*r New.
It wasn't like he was being sadistic. He had sensed several people dashing out of the cafeteria a short while ago, and it seed there were also so people who were spreading the event just now whether through
friend or social dia, so it would take effort to complete seal the information. He simply judged that
there wasn't much point even if he dealt with the present audiences.
Rather than wasting ti for sothing like that, their remaining ti to use for their date that kept
decreasing right now was more important.
[Co on, for now let's get away from here. It looks like people are gathering.]
[Uu, what kind of face I should make when going to campus next week......]
So of the people around, a female group who most likely weren't really close with Shizuku but still
acquainted with her were recovering from their bewildernt and showing curiosity. They looked like they
were going to break out into a run toward Shizuku anyti soon.
And so Haji decided to retreat for the ti being and started to move but......*Tuturuuu♪* a ringtone
sound rang out at that timing.
It was Haji's smartphone. He took it out and checked the screen. Haji's expression instantly twisted
unpleasantly.
And then, even though he was showing a pondering look for a bit,
[Yosh, let's go.]
He cut off the call and put away the phone.
[No no, how about stopping for a bit.]
Haji tried to leave like nothing had happened, but Shizuku pulled him back with a wry smile.
[It was Hattori-san just now right? It's you we're talking about, so you must have told him about the tis
when you don't want to be contacted. And yet he still called, doesn't that an it's an ergency?]
[That possibility might not be not completely not non-existent.]
[So the possibility is big isn't it?]
Haji averted his gaze.
Shizuku looked at such Haji as though she was seeing a troubleso person, and yet a smile that was
radiating happiness because he was prioritizing his date with her ford on her lips.
[Co on, call him back.]
[Haa, got it. I'll check just in case. It's just checking okay?]
He took out his smartphone once more and called Hattori. Relief could be felt from the other side of the call.
Around the ti it was late at night.
[In the end it was work for the whole day. Cursed those politicians, so troubleso]
[Don't say that. Sohow the situation settled down to a level where all the countries could compromise on, so it's fine isn't it?]
Haji and Shizuku's figures could be seen on the street that was still bright even late at night instead of at ho.
[And, where are we going?]
Shizuku asked while slightly blushing and fidgeting.
From the start they planned to stay outside today. This day's date had the objective of "enjoying all sorts of cute things" so, the plan for the end was frolicking with the fairies in the "Miniature Garden" before staying overnight in Haji's room that was created inside the Treasure Tree.
We aren't going to your room? Shizuku questioned with her eyes. Haji's face naturally loosened seeing her.
[It's only a little past midnight. I'm thinking that I want you to at least enjoy one "cute" thing instead of just eting the fairies. Actually, Moe-san--Mochizuki-san contacted .]
[Mochizuki-san? ...... If I'm not wrong, she was Okaa-san(mother-in-law)'s assistant wasn't she?]
[Yeah. The diehard maid lover who won't take off her maid uniform even in Kaa-san's studio. Actually that person is running a maid café.]
She set up her own shop when she was still twenty and put it properly on the right track in several years. She was a capable maid. Of course, she was also excellent as an assistant of Great Sensei Sumire.
Haji had known her ever since she joined Sumire Studio as part-ti work while still in high school, so her acquaintance with Haji too had already gone for longer than ten years.
By the way, a certain rabbit-eared maid senpai who was an Arican football skill user was working in one of the cafés that Moe-san was running.
[Maid, café?]
Shizuku repeated Haji's words and beca taken aback. Her eyes widened like saucer and she looked at Haji.
[You said that you want to see cosplayers dressed in cute outfits live, but actually you're also a bit interested in wearing one yourself right?]
Haji said that with a grin.
He hit the bull's eye. It was a fact that Shizuku had a longing toward cutely dressed cosplayers, but for herself to be dressed cutely like that......she felt timid to do that which was also a fact. And most of all, it was embarrassing and she couldn't bring herself to show herself in front of others if she was dressed like that. That was why, she ca to a compromise with herself that it would be enough just to watch the cute cosplayers. But,
[I got the permission to use the café after it's closed. She told that it's fine to wear the spare maid uniforms as you please.]
[B-but......]
[The maid uniforms here, they've a lot of frills you know?]
[!]
[They've the orthodox type, and the mini skirt type too, and even optional extras too if you want. And you can try them out as you please.]
[!!?]
[In addition, there's no other custor except .]
[......]
They were standing in front of a certain building when she ca to her senses. Shop nas were lined out on a shiny billboard. One of the na was shinily showing the maid café that was their destination at the third floor.
[You want to try wearing cute maid uniform righttt~?]
[Uu......]
It sounded like a demonic temptation. Shizuku was fidgeting while looking alternately at the billboard and Haji. She was blushing and restless. She was obviously attracted.
And so, the finishing blow.
[By the way, I really want to see.]
[Uuh.............let's go]
It was the mont interest and desire triumphed over embarrassnt.
They took the plunge, into the dark closed café.
After that.
She wore the orthodox maid uniform that she had wanted to try to wear at least once and twirled while making the frills fluttered. Haji showered her with unending praises as she did that. She got embarrassed while also putting on a very satisfied expression and fidgeting.
She also tried saying the standard line [Welco back, Goshujin-sama] with bashfulness and a curtsy.
Perhaps her mood was elevated by the environnt where there were only the two of them. She changed to a maid uniform that boldly exposed her shoulders, her chest, and even her thigh, then she tried making a slightly sexy pose just as Haji told her to.
At the end many of her restrains were loosened up, or rather perhaps because of Haji being too excessive in his praising that Shizuku tried wearing things like rabbit ears or cat ears while crying nyan nyan or shaking those accessories cutely.
It went without saying that tons of flashes could be seen from the window of the maid café that should have closed shop this late at night.
Like that,
[Actually, Shizuku]
[Y-yees, what is it?]
[I also got the permission from Moe-san to stay at the resting room at the back.]
[!]
Because Moe-san was doing her assistant work and maid café managent work side by side, in the past she created work desk and bed inside her café where she sotis wouldn't go ho for days.
I've tidied it up properly yeah, Moe-san said as she went out of her way to offer her personal lodging. Haji gave a heartfelt reply in respond, As expected from Moe-neesan, I got nothing but respect for ya. I owe you one. The exchange happened across phones, but it could easily be imagined how they winked & thumb up during that talk.
Because of that, the two whose date got ruined because of this and that,
That day, they enjoyed (deep aning) acting out the master and the maid to their heart's content inside the café at night.
The next day, the maids who didn't know anything reported for work and saw the resting room had been tidied up cleanly. However, their maiden instinct sensed sothing and they got excited discussing who and who could have possibly done it there!?
