Vivians POV
Princess, this is the address listed. Thank you, Beverly, that will be all. I stepped out of the car, leaving my chauffeur and security detail outside. Theyve already cleared the area for potential threats, allowing to conduct this interview informally. I walked up to the residence and knocked on the door. It was a quaint two-story building, with a well-kept yard and exterior. There was no response, leading to knock on the door once more. Still nothing.
I heard the sound of a commotion going on behind the door, what on Earth? I tensed slightly, laying a hand on Excalibur as it hung at my waist. The weapon has a rather convenient feature of being unnoticeable as long as I havent drawn it from the sheathe. The door suddenly opened, revealing an adorable girl who was cross-dressing in a male school uniform. There was a piece of toast in her mouth and she seed to be in a hurry.
So much of a hurry in fact, that she did not notice at the door and ran headlong into . Oof! I let out a rather inelegant sound as I fell over with the girl right on top of . Barely three days in Japan and yet I have already encountered an ani clich. I am not amused. We managed to disentangle from each other, but I can feel the mirthful gazes of my security team upon . I swear if they breathe a word of this to anyone else, Ill charge them with lese majeste.
Regardless, I helped the girl up. Excuse miss, I began in slightly accented Japanese Im looking for a Reiji Okamura, does he live here? The girl gave a severe glare, making wonder if I had made an error with my Japanese. She then responded in flawless English Im Reiji Okamura and whatever you want it will have to wait because I am late, Im very, very late! The boy who had run into promptly resud his sprint. It took a few monts to react after realizing that the pretty girl was a pretty boy. Late for what? I called out after him. School, of course! he shouted back (he still had the piece of toast in his mouth sohow) before rounding the corner.
Ah, I hadnt thought of that. I suppose ordinary children would go to school rather than having tutors. I walked back to the chauffeur, feeling a strange mixture of confusion and embarrassnt at the encounter. Japan is strange. What now, your highness? Ill et him after school. Lets head back to the embassy for now.
Reijis POV
No. Co on! No. Pretty please! No. With a cherry on top? No. No. You said it twice!? I decided to be proactive for your next attempt. I grumpily poked stupid Minatos stupid face with my chopsticks as he continued putting food into his stupid mouth. Kira ntioned you could shapeshift! Why cant you use that magic to make look manlier? Minato finished his food and turned towards . Because he began seriously, making lean forward in anticipation. I love listening to Minato about magic, its just so cool!
I dont want to. His lackluster response nearly made fall over. But unfortunately for him, I have a coback. You didnt have a problem when Hikari was curious about what being a cat girl was like. On Minatos stoic deanor, I saw his right eyebrow twitch slightly. Ha, direct hit. You also didnt have a problem when Hikari wanted to get naughty with a cat boy. I know youve taken all kinds of requests from the girls, you pervert. A small spasm flitted across his face. Yes! Critical hit!
How did you hear about that? he demanded, not bothering to deny it. I gave a small shrug I think they sotis forget Im a boy, so they include in their girl talk. Theyre big fans of you bringing magic into the bedroom, by the way. So, if you want your sex life to be private, remove mine curse o brave wizard! I grinned at Minato as he let loose a long sigh. He then fixed his piercing gaze onto and asked Out of curiosity, why are you bringing this up today?
I thought back to the blonde bombshell that I ran into on my way out the door this morning. I had the toast in my mouth and everything. That was a flag if Ive ever seen one, and it reminded of Akemi. Hell, I see my face in the mirror and Im reminded of her and how she would gush Im just her type appearance-wise. It hurts, rembering her. I dont want to be reminded anymore. I was mistaken for a girl again this morning. I just thought that maybe a change would help. I said, hoping he wouldnt dig any deeper into it.
Im not sure if I managed to fool him, but he changed the topic regardless. So how have the others taken to discovering that magic exists? Minato asked indifferently as he lied down. Aww, its been a while since hes pulled this tsundere act. If he really didnt care, he wouldnt ask. He used to do this with too when we first started hanging out. I have had a lot of fun swapping stories with Veronica about his best tsundere monts.
About as well as one could expect. Koji is no different than before, since hes always acted like magic was real. Aito has been determinedly searching for proof of elves existing. Kiyoshi has likewise beco determined to build an automaton, although he has no clue how to start. They believed when I told them I discovered it by accident when I bought the wristband. The good thing about it is that it has helped take their minds off the bad stuff. I told Minato while watching him like a hawk. The slight relaxing of his shoulders showed that he did in fact have so minor concern for their well-being.
Before I could call him out on it, there was a flare of black fire that resulted in a 3-tailed black fox appearing. It happily pounced on Minato, transforming into a young girl with fox ears and tails as it cuddled with him. Oh, this is perfect. I gasped, dramatically pointed at him, and yelled Lolicon! Minato beca extrely flustered at that, his usually impeccable calm faade vanishing as he shouted back I am not!. Rin simply ignored our banter and continued snuggling with Minato.
When I was first introduced to Rin, I was sowhat apprehensive. Minato had ntioned having a demonic familiar and I naturally demanded to et her. What if it was similar to the demons of Pandemonium? I saw the little cutie and all my concerns flew out the window. Although when I heard that she can change her size I started getting a little suspicious about that big and furry thing I saw on the stadium during the Pandemonium attack. Minatos hiding sothing, I can feel it. However, I dont know what exactly and if I tip him off itll be even harder to find out the truth. For now I content myself with accusing him of being a lolicon (which I know he isnt) every ti Rin cuddles with him. It is imnsely amusing to see his reactions.
I left Minato embarrassed and spluttering on the roof as I headed to class, which was boring as usual. I chose to snooze through English class, having picked up the language from Minato rather easily when we first started hanging out. He was waiting for alone after we got released for the day. Where are the others? I asked him. Veronica has basketball practice, Hikari has a modeling job, and Kira is going out with so friends. He responded casually as we headed towards the door.
We were just exiting the building when two things occurred near simultaneously. I noticed the blonde from this morning waiting on the street and I heard a Hey Boss! that was interrupted by a strange *clang* and Gah! sound, like if soone was tackling a tal can that talks. I turned to ask Minato what was that, but he was no longer next to . I glanced around the surrounding area and found Minato in the bushes so 30 feet away on top of a maroon-haired girl.
*Sigh* Im not even going to ask. I decided to just wait as I saw the blonde co over to talk to . Lets see what this is all about.
Terras POV
That was close. I snuck a look at the girl I had danced with at the royal ball from the bushes I managed to dive into the instant I saw her. Irene was here as well, since I had promised her a bonus for her work in London. She wanted to escort her around for the day because and I quote: Its nice to have the Boss be my bitch for once. Unfortunately, Irene just had to be in between the direct path of and the bushes, which ant my sudden dive collided with her and took her along.
This has led us to this rather compromising position where Im pressed on top of her like we were lovers as I tried to remain out of sight of the girl who should not be here. The girl is also positively radiating magic, or rather the sword shes wearing is. It has a powerful concealing charm on it, but not strong enough to fool . The only reason I havent attacked her is because the sword has a holy aura to it, aning theres no way the girl is a demon.
Irene seems strangely flustered, which I dont have ti to go into other than being thankful that it is making her stay quiet. I dont have much longer to hide though, as whatever spell that ca over Irene seems to be wearing off. If we stay like this much longer shell either start swearing loudly, beating up, or most likely both.
Fortunately, Reiji and the blonde started walking away from the school. I telepathically commanded Rin to follow them. I then picked myself and Irene up, which broke her out of her reverie. Fucking hell boss, I aint an exhibitionist. So, next ti you wanna jump , do it in private ya sick bastard. She comnted in a strange tone that I couldnt quite place. Yeah, I did just kind of tackle her, didnt I?
I gave an apologetic smile as I said Sorry. Irene snorted and looked away Youre lucky, Im in a good mood, bastard. Ill let it slide for today only. She suddenly grabbed my hand with a vice-like grip as she started leading to the mall where we agreed Id buy her anything she wanted. I dont know why were holding hands though. As if she could feel my questioning gaze on her, Irene spoke in a snarky manner. Malls are often crowded, right? So, it is most optimal if we stay connected to avoid losing contact! Jeezus, think with your goddamn brain occasionally!
I simply responded by tightening my own grip on her hand, which seed to startle her. Glad to see youre not a complete moron. She harrumphed, although it lacked her usual cutting tone and her eyes seem to soften fractionally. I pushed the thoughts of why that blonde girl was here away and decided to focus on rewarding Irene for a job well-done. Rin will contact if anything happens.
