"H-hang on Ai, we are so close. Don’t you dare give up now."
"B-but Kazu-kun…"
"Please, stay with . Just a little more and we will be done for good."
"O-okay."
"And....done!"
I leaned back on the couch breathing heavily and wiped the little sweat on my forehead. It was finally over. Finally. We were at it for about a week now and it was the last day of our sumr holidays and the big mountain was finally conquered. We were finally done with our holiday howork.
Again, what was the point of howork anyway? The person who even made the concept of howork used it as a punishnt and not sothing students are to do every day. This says a lot about our current society. It’s harsh, ruthless, and doesn’t allow a high school student to enjoy the most enjoyable ti of their year peacefully. Maybe if I were to finish it before, it would have been a bit different which my original idea was.
But then the VEO incident happened.
We were given a week’s break and while I wanted to enjoy it peacefully, I was reminded by the pile that fell down from my bag about the holiday howork we were supposed to do. Fortunately, it was all done now.
"Kazu-kun…give …." Ai said swaying from side to side walking towards . "I want it…I need it."
"Then co get it," I said and leaned my head back.
"It’s mine," Ai playfully shouted and leaped at landing her head on my lap. "This spot belongs to and only . I won’t let anyone else steal this spot from . I will kill anyone who does that."
"Wow, you really said that without any hesitation," I said and started stroking her hair and she started giggling. "Are you really that tired? That you need my lap pillow now?"
"Yes, after all, I am Kazu-kun’s cute little kitten," Ai said nuzzling her face in my lap and started purring. "Nya~"
Even though I was tired, that took by surprise enough to make jolt up and sit straight. Really, how can soone be this adorable? I really have the cutest girlfriend in the entire world. Thank you, God, for this wonderful gift. I start believing in you now. Probably.
Can I get all the volus of the new light novel I have been trying to get my hands on? If you do that, I will believe in you.
What? No sign?
Guess I don’t believe in you after all.
A lot happened since this sester started, didn’t it? I found out the princess of our school was stalking , then she broke into my house and confessed to . I got attacked by a vampire and find out that the princess was actually a half-vampire. I had special blood and vampires are after . So on and so forth, now I am living with her and also killing vampires on the side.
Also, I have this too.
Ethan.
"Huh? Did you call ?" I heard Ethan’s voice. "Hey, say sothing boy. I was having a nice nap an-"
Sarah.
"My dearest, my dearest, m-"
Yeah, crazy things happened and I know even crazier things are about to co our way but right now two things worried . That challenge and Ai’s condition. We needed to get rid of both of them as soon as possible. I haven’t told anyone about the challenge yet but I am planning on doing so fast.
Oh yeah.
"Ai, do you know what date it is?" I asked the cat girl who made her head comfortable on my lap. No seriously, I could see cat ears protruding out of her head. Maybe it’s just .
"July 31," Ai said and I continued stroking her hair. "What of it?"
"Do you know what today is?" I asked her and she looked visibly confused which made chuckle a little and light hit her head.
"Owie," she cutely whined.
"It’s the sumr festival."
"Oh y-"
Ai turned her head up facing and I could see the excitent in her eyes. Literal stars ford in her heterochromia eyes.
"Kazu-kun! Kazu-kun!"
"Yeah, we are going to the festival. I’ll also inform Akira about it and tell her to enjoy herself today too. How about this?" I said and she frantically nodded her head. "So…do you want to rest on my lap forever or decide on what t-"
"We are going to buy yukata!" Ai announced standing up on her feet. "Also, today’s lunch will be outside. My treat!"
I wanted to say sothing but already knew that there was no way I would be able to change Ai’s mind on this. I let out a defeated sigh and stood up to first clean up our workspace. While I was doing at my normal speed, Ai was moving at the speed of sound wanting to get over with all this ss. I laughed a bit seeing her childish side erge out started moving my hands faster.
I made my way to the room to get our stuff back in place. While I was at it, I already heard Ai entering the bathroom to change in her clothes. Getting all the stuff back in place, I made my way to my closet to get my clothes out. I decided on getting my blue t-shirt along with black jeans. I am not the best at fashion but I think they look good enough.
I started undressing my clothes which were when…
"Oh my, aren’t I lucky?" I heard Ai’s voice and turned around seeing her standing at the door. Her eyes were peering at and I could feel where she was staring at . I covered my chest with my clothes and hid behind the closet door while Ai looked like she was enjoying herself as she started licking her lips.
"You’ve grown a lot haven’t you Kazu-kun~," she said and started walking towards . I could feel her predatory gaze on getting intense. "Why are you hiding? I have already seen you without a shirt multiple tis before~"
"I know that but I don’t feel that gaze on every ti I get shirtless before you," I said retracting my steps.
"Hehe, Kazu-kun is so adorable when he is like this~," she said and jumped at hugging and dug then sank her teeth in my neck.
"If you wanted my blood, you could have just asked you know," I said as Ai pushed down on the floor.
She started softly sucking my blood while wrapping her hands around my neck and I just stared up at the ceiling. I have gotten so used to this now that I beca numb to the feeling of the blood being taken out of . Ai finally stopped and licked the leftover blood on my neck tickling indirectly and a shiver went down my body as each ti her tongue ran up my neck.
She bit her lip and stopped my neck from bleeding further. She got off and lick her lips.
"Thanks for the al," she said and giggled and walked out of the room. "I am waiting in the living room so please make it quick."
I sat up straight and looked at myself in the mirror in the room and chuckled. I really changed a lot in the past three months, ntally and physically. I an, look at . I have gotten from a skinny Asian boy to a muscular boy and what did I do for that? Nothing! I bet so many people would be jealous of because of it.
I got in my clothes and stepped out of the room and finally got a good look at what Ai was wearing. Well, I don’t know much about female clothes but she was wearing a short black jacket over a white top and black skin-tight jeans.
"Wow, black clothes in sumr? Do you plan on burning yourself?" I asked sarcastically and Ai giggled.
"Not really, it is to keep warm. I feel cold all the ti so I prefer wearing black clothes so I feel warm and nice," she said and then twirled. "How do I look?"
"Na one piece of clothing you don’t look good in?" I answered her question with another question.
"Um…"
"It ans you are looking beautiful," I said with a soft smile on my face and a big blush appeared on Ai’s face.
"L-let’s go then!!" Ai announced and rushed out of the apartnt. I laughed lightly and got the keys, my phone, wallet, and also…the keychain. I can’t really forget them at ho. The fireworks would happen in the night and we have to make sure that we are ready if a vampire was to attack us.
Also.
"Akira," I muttered and the noble appeared right beside . "Wow, that was quick."
"I would co imdiately when Kazuki-sama calls," she said bowing down and then looking back at . "What is it Kazuki-sama?"
"I and Ai are going to the sumr festival today and will co back around the night so you can also co there," I said. "Not near us obviously, Ai wouldn’t like that.
As I said that, I saw her eyes turn to worried and a frown ford on her face.
"With all due respect Kazuki-sama, I don’t think it is wise of you to stay out in a ti like this. Especially late at night," she said.
Though I have known Akira for a really short ti span, I knew she was soone I could easily trust. I was sure about it. If not then I would have been already dead during the attack at the VEO multiple tis. She saved my ass there again and again.
"Akira, what will you do if I was on the verge of being killed?" I asked her without facing her. "Will you change sides to the one who is about to kill ? Like you did with your previous master."
For so ti, I did not hear anything. Ai was back at the door peeking inside probably impatient from waiting for but she did not enter the apartnt. I just stood there patiently waiting for Akira to reply to . I know I can trust her but I just wanted to confirm it one last ti. Trust is hard to gain and easy to be broken so I couldn’t help but think if I were in the sa position as the noble I killed back then, Akira might change side mid-way.
"No," I heard a firm reply from her. "I know I have always been the one to change masters when my old ones were about to get killed, that was how I have always lived my life. But, Kazuki-sama is different. He is different from any master I had before so I, Tatara Akira pledge my loyalty to you right here and right now. If I were to break this pledge, I would be considered as good as dead by myself. If Kazuki-sama were to get in a near-death situation, I will try my hardest to save him. Doesn’t matter if it ans risking my own life."
Hearing her reply, a soft smile ford on my face. I turned around to face her and saw her standing with a serious expression with her hands clenched on her side.
"Well then, when I get in that situation, I will call for you imdiately and be sure to save then," I said kindly and she nodded with a small smile on her face.
I turned around and then sothing hit .
"Also, when I said about you enjoying yourself at the sumr festival, it wasn’t a suggestion," I said and smiled. "It was an order that I gave you."
"As you wish Kazuki-sama," she said bowing down. "Do you wish for to take you to your destination?"
"No, we will walk our way there. You can go back now," I said and she nodded.
"I will be on my way then."
With that, Akira disappeared in thin air leaving no trace behind and I turned around facing Ai with a pout on her face.
"So you will call her first when you are in danger, did I hear that correct?" she said pouting and facing the other way.
"Yes," I said and walked towards getting close to Ai’s ear. "Because I know I don’t need to tell you to save . You will do it anyway, won’t you?"
"O-of course," she said and puffed her chest. "I will save Kazu-kun even before he needs to be saved."
"I didn’t an that but..." I let out a sigh. "Let’s get going already."
