Tsuki Tsuki Vol 6 Chapter 1

Chapter 01: Before the Trip

This might come sudden, but the three-days-two-nights seaside school of the Midoriyama high school that I attend are voluntary extracurricular classes, so by no means mandatory.

From what I heard from Minami a few days ago, the seaside school didn’t have usual stuff like swimming practice, but was merely focussing on letting the students deepen their relationships.

One of them was our reliable older sister, Luna. The other one was our easy to trick and then retorting freeloader, Machina Liebelei Orangelo.

The blonde beauty with melon-big breasts and a dynamite body—Luna emitted an aura of neatness, which didn’t suit the reality of her being a devil.

They probably finished cleaning up the earlier dinner…

“Meow”

…Lately, Luna was seeking physical contact quite aggressive.

Anyway, I was honestly happy that Luna acting spoiled like that. I was happy, but her two big breasts pressed onto my body and moreover a sweet fragrance hung in the air, so I was nervous.

Aware that my pulse was raising, I lightly patted Luna’s head. Upon that,

She leaked a voice, mimicking Nazuna again, and clung to me even stronger.

….Not good. To regain my composure, I repeated to take deep breaths in my heart. But that effort was in vain and Machina, watching over us, also sat down on the sofa.

With a bit hesitation and her cheeks turning red, she clung onto me like Luna. But,

“S- Sorry. I certainly lack practice—wait, why do I have to get scolded! Actually, what’s with this indifferent reaction!? Totally different how you treated my sister!”

As a matter of fact, I felt Machina’s voluminous breasts and her body temperature, which accelerated my heartbeat.

When I thought of that, my cell phone signalized the arriving of a mail with the perfect timing.

I didn’t know thanks to whom, but I was saved. I natural stood up, getting away from Luna and Machina, and at the same time took out my cell phone. When I looked at it, I saw that it was a mail from Hijiri.

Mh, I was kind of happy that she suggested that, but I had already finished my homework. But well, I could still help her with hers. I was actually good with English. And since Hijiri had helped me on various occasions, I should take this chance to repay her.

“Shinobu-sama, Hijiri-chan was thinking about what to write you in a mail all day yesterday. I believe she merely wanted a chance to talk to you, Shinobu-sama.

…For a moment I was quite surprised about the shocking contents of the mail, but it was just Kaorun’s joke anyway.

I was really looking forward to Hijiri’s reaction. When I waited a bit excited for a reply,

“Who was it from?”

Before I could answer that it was from Hijiri, the ring tone of my cell phone cut into my words.

“I’m going out for a bit.”

“Sh- Shinobu-kun! Don’t get the wrong idea! Kaoru-san made up all of that! I’m not perverted!”

“Sure, I was lonely for not seeing you and thought of you. But! While I feel sorry for you, I’m not doing anything perverted while thinking of you! To begin with, I haven’t done so even once yet. I don’t even know how to!”

Honestly, I considered it cute, but I should stop her now.

“You don’t need to be so flustered. That mail was just Kaorun’s joke. I know that you’re a sullen— I mean, I know you’re not perverted, Hijiri.”

“No, wait, you’re wrong! You really got the wrong idea! There’s no deep meaning behind my words!”

“…Speaking of, Freud said ‘You can get a glimpse of one’s true feeling through his slip of tongue’. I guess Shinobu-sama really considers you to be a perverted girl, Hijiri-chan.”

…Damn. Hijiri ended up crying.

“Shinobu-sama, Hijiri-chan is crying now! How are you going to take responsibility!”

“Koarun doesn’t know!”

“…For some reason, I do not wish to be told that by you in particular, Shinobu-sama.”

“So, how’s Hijiri?”

“Yeah, I can hear it rather well.”

…I did something bad to Hijiri. I had to apologies quickly or it would get ugly.

“Sorry, but it’s you, who has such thoughts.”

Upon that, Kaorun replied with a discontent “How rude”, then suddenly change her tone.

“I see. Then I’ll get a gift as an apology and come over.”

Kaorun shamelessly asked for the gifts…

“…Eh? Uhm, are you sure? It was a joke on my part just now. Just by having you come over, Hijiri-chan and myself will be… well, happy. Please do not concern yourself so much with the cakes.”

Startled a bit by that voice, I declared to Kaorun with a kind tone.

“Please wait a moment! What kind of evil thing is that to do! You are not human, Shinobu-sama! You brute! Heretic! Do you actually have a heart!?”

Along with my words, I raised a loud laugher. What came back was Kaorun’s weary voice.

“Shut up! You perverted Mai— I mean, shut up, you slutty maid!”

“Yeah, I do. That’s exactly what I mean. There’s no falsity in my words.”

In that instant, Kaorun mimicked Hijiri and purposefully raised a “Fueh~ Shinobu-sama is so mean!” crying voice.

“Kaorun, the jokes— have only begun!”

“At that time I’ll send an ultra wave of abuses in opposition to sonic you in—ah, no, forget that. I’ll come over now. Just wait and look forward to the gift.”

Then Kaorun gave a single warning with a somewhat low voice.

“What are you, a kidnapper? Don’t worry, I’ll come alone. I have something to ask Hijiri anyway.”

Apparently Hijiri was doing something to her. Midway in her sentence Kaorun’s voice broke.

“I’ll assist Hijiri. So prepare yourself, perverted maid.”

Having some kind of misunderstanding, Kaorun leaked a delighted voice.

Not letting her finish, I cut the call.

A few days ago, Hijiri had told me that “A devil might hide at the seaside school location”. At that time we had no choice but to suspend the conversation, but normal students and Nazuna were attending the seaside school. So I should ask her for some details, just in case.

Previously Sougo-san asked me “Any plans to become an exorcist?”, whereupon I was rather flustered, since I had none. But he somewhat forcefully made me listen to him, so I certainly became interested in the exorcist training.

…Because I would lose something precious again if I stayed weak.

Shining silver hair tied up in twin tails. Skin white as clouds. This adorable girl with the small and slender body was our stupid freeloader Elni.

She innocently called out to the cat with “Meow, meow”. Seeing her like that, I inadvertently smiled. I stopped and watched over her, when

“Oh, Shinobu.”

“Shinobu-san, I want to see the sea.”

Elni said with the tone of an elegant miss, whereupon I replied nonchalant.

“Shinobu-chan, take me to the Koushien.”

I once again denied point-blank, but Elni wasn’t discouraged and rested her hand on my shoulder.

“Go chase your desire to wherever you want alone. I told you, I’m busy. So hurry and get off the bike.”

“Shinobu-san! I! want to see the hope for tomorrow!”

“Yay~”

“Well then, Shinobu, be careful!”

Smiling dubious along with a joke, I drove away on my bicycle.

Under the glorious blue sky, I pedalled on my bicycle with attitude.

Like I had told Kaorun over the phone, I first bought some cakes at the shopping district. After that, I pedalled while being exposed to the strong summer sun, when I finally arrived at a huge Japanese style mansion—Hijiri’s house.

On a rare occasion, Kaorun seemed to be in a delighted mood and smiled faintly. But upon recognizing me, she hastily created her usual inexpressiveness, as to hide her own emotions.

Kaorun made a polite curtsey befitting for a maid, then took out a handkerchief from the pocket of her maid clothes and gently wiped the sweat from my cheeks.

“Yo, thanks, I’ll just do that. Here, the goods you requested.”

“I know how playful you are, Shinobu-sama, so I take that you put something into the cake box as a surprise, but what exactly is it? Is it money? Is it equities? Or is it all of your love? I do hope that it is your love, Shinobu-sama.”

“Urashima’s box!?”

“By the way, along with the smoke, all kind of sins and calamities will spill out and throw humanity into sorrow. But don’t worry, I’m sure there’s still a bit of hope at the bottom of the box.”

“So it is the box of Pandora? Please stop this nonsense and get into the house already. It is quite hot outside.”

“Kyaa~ Shinobu-sama, you pervert. Lecher. Maid fetishist~”

“You were waiting in this heat?”

“I was so excited about your coming, Shinobu-sama. Certainly it was somewhat hot outside, but thinking of my beloved Shinobu-sama mysteriously made me forget about the heat and time.”

Suddenly saying such sweet stuff was against the rules. I joked around like always, but my voice was a pitch too high. Seemingly I was kind of bashful. I scratched my hot cheeks, when Kaorun suddenly turned around.

Kaorun smiled playful with her cheeks faintly red.

…The house was huge as ever. I continued to walk down the hallway in awe and when we reached the stairs, Kaorun said as a prologue “I forgot to tell you over the phone…”.

I thought the treatment of the young master, Hijiri’s little brother, was kind of mean, but I didn’t interject and following Kaorun, I slowly went up the stairs.

“It will pose no problem when you start chasing Hijiri-chan with just one pair of panties and shouting ‘Hi~jiri~chan’, like the gentleman thief something the 3rd with long sideburns, upon entering her room. Please become a slave to your instincts all you want. An animally teacher that pretends to help with her studies. The beast and the beauty. The Beast to Die.”

“That is not the case at all, Mr. Lewd Beast…Ah, I made a mistake, Mr. Beast.”

“…You are also still mistaken, Shinobu-sama. Actually, please do not copy me.”

“Go ahead, Shinobu-sama.”

It wasn’t my house, but I warned her anyway while I was entered the room, urged by Kaorun.

“Hey, where’s Hijiri?”

“…The stuff about getting hot aside, this isn’t Hijiri’s room?”

“I rather would like to sniff your body, but I’ll make do with your blanket for today.”

“…I’m kinda tired, so I’ll sleep. Wake me up for dinner.”

Along with her words, Kaorun placed the cake box onto the floor, then reached out for her own clothes and excitedly started to unbutton the buttons around her chest.

“Well, sleeping with my clothes would wrinkle them. And since it is so hot today, I thought about sleeping in my underwear…”

“Shinobu-sama, you can also sniff the smell of my body.”

For a moment I pictured a bad delusion and before I noticed it, I had spoken in weird English.

“It was just a joke, Shinobu-sama. Hijiri-chan is waiting, so we should head to her room now.”

Feeling my cheeks getting hot, I leaked a sigh while I suddenly thought.

Until not long ago, she had always been expressionless. She rarely showed a smile. But right now, this Kaorun was smiling in front of me. This little change gradually warmed my heart.

But it was different now. You could tell by her smile. Without doubt, Kaorun thought of Hijiri as her family.

Glamorous long, black hair and dignified features. Voluminous breasts and a slender waist. Long, dazzling legs. As always, Hijiri was an attractive beauty.

“Welcome, Shinobu-kun.”

“No. It was my fault for getting a weird misunderstanding. Sorry.”

“But thanks for coming today. Make yourself at home.”

Nodding, I entered the room.

….Reminded me, Hijiri loved dogs.

“Please consider yourself honoured, Shinobu-sama. Family aside, this is the first time Hijiri-chan let a male into her own room. A first experience. It is so exciting. Please be gentle to her.”

Retorting, I sat down on a sitting cushion near the table. There Kaorun sat down besides me and asked with a teasing tone.

“I stopped counting after hundred.”

“Shinobu-kun, you playboy!”

“…I knew it, Shinobu-kun is popular, since he’s so handsome.”

“I stopped counting after hundred.”

“…Kaorun, stop adding any weird monologues. I actually can count the females in my room with one hand. Sadly enough, most of them are family.”

“That’s a surprise… I thought you would get along better with girls, Shinobu-kun.”

Giving me a very grudging evaluation, Kaorun stood up and face Hijiri.

Saying that with a weird explanation tone, Kaorun suddenly shifted her gaze towards me.

“Green tea is fine.”

Completely ignoring my funny attempt, Kaorun decided on my drink on her own.

I got somewhat weary, when Kaorun seemingly made some kind of eye-contact with Hijri.

Leaving behind these profound words, Kaorun left the room.

Instantly, I could feel Hijiri’s warmth through my shoulders and a refreshing fragrance also hung in the air at the same time. Her pretty face was really close. If I were to look down, I would get a good view on her deep cleavage and my heartbeat would raise. But,

I asked so, completely hiding my agitation. But Hijiri didn’t seem to mind it and rested her warm palm onto my thigh with her cheeks still flushed.

Slowly brining her soft and pink lips closer, she said with a melting sweet voice.

For a moment, I was dangerously close to lose myself on these words, but I restrained myself by clenching my fists. I feisty aimed to forget, but—Hijiri was my fiancée.

The technique she wanted to use was the bedchamber skill. It increased one‘s power by mixing the male yang energy with the female yin energy, well in other words, it was needed to do perverted stuff.

But I was opposed to get into that kind of relationship with Hijiri just for that skill. I was afraid that her current action was just another attempt to seduce me. I felt a bit sorry for her, but I ignored her attempt as always.

“Sh- Shinobu-kun called me stupid!”

Usually Hijiri stopped her seduction at this point, which put me at ease. But when I got ready to study, surprisingly enough, Hijiri pulled reserved on my sleeve.

“Say, Hijiri, today we were going to—”

Cutting into my words, Hijiri tried her best.

…Just what was Hijiri making me do? Suspicious, I once again obeyed her instruction, when I heard Hijiri’s quiet voice mix with nervousness after a short pause.

“Well, okay.”

“…Ehm, what kind of gag is this? I don’t get this parody.”

Instantly, Hijiri shouted with tears dwelling up in her eyes.

At that moment, suddenly the door opened and Kaorun showed up with a tray. She approached us while tilting her head with a “That is strange”.

While saying such rude things, Kaorun placed the cakes, drinks and the glass container with sugar cubes from the tray onto the table.

“Kaoru-san, Shinobu-kun wasn’t pleased at all. I did everything you told me. but… I guess the way of my seduction is wrong after all?”

Putting the tray in her hands aside, Kaorun stood up and faced me.

I had a lot to say. But, for now I obeyed Kaorun’s words.

…Either way, she was just going to do the same as Hijiri. Getting a bit excited by Kaorun voice mixed with a sigh, I once again obeyed her words, when she continued further with a sweet voice.

Stopping her words once, Kaorun lifted up the edge of her skirt while colouring her cheeks crimson, when I faced her. At the same time, she shyly averted her eyes from me and said mumbling.

Along with her words, Koarun lifted up her skirt even higher and exposed her pretty long legs, soft white thighs and sexy black garter belt. However, while the crucial parts were nearly visible, I still couldn’t see.

There Kaorun let go off her skirt and faced Hijiri with her chest puffed up.

While saying so, Koarun shifted her gaze towards me and smiled playful.

“I stopped counting after hundred.”

Hijiri widened her eyes in surprise and lowered her head towards Kaorun with attitude.

No, judging by all previous incidents, Kaorun was sometimes just messing around. It would be wise not to take her all too serious. Or you would get tricked again.

“Ehm, shouldn’t we eat our cake before the drinks get cold?”
So I took my coffee to change the topic. But when the coffee entered my mouth, it was sweeter than I had expected and I nearly chocked on it…

After finishing the cake, I looked at Hijiri’s English homework, but

Kaorun lay on the bed reading a light novel from which she sometime would read out a line aloud, probably because she wanted attention.

…I was rather interested in the story of the novel. When I thought about having Kaorun lent it to me afterwards, Hijiri talked to me with a quiet voice.

“I see. I thought about giving her a piece of advice since she’s interrupting our studies, but if that’s how it is, I’ll refrain from doing so. I feel sorry for Kaorun, so let’s just ignore her.”

“No worries. This is Kaorun we’re speaking of. She’ll misunderstand it as some kind of ignore play and be pleased. Besides, the faster we finish our studying, the more we can play with Kaorun. For now we have to control ourselves.“

Hijiri seemed hesitant, but followed my suggestion in the end.

However, being completely ignored had it’s effect. When we had solved the first problem, I called out to Kaorun, who pretended to wet the pillow with her crying.

I just had asked casually, but

“Is that so!?”

“You have done it, Hijiri-chan! Congratulations!”

“No, no, that’s not what I meant. Hijiri, don’t play along with Kaorun’s joke. There is just something I would like to ask Sougo-san.”

It indeed was just a joke. Kaorun immediately returned to her usual self. However,

Hijiri, on the other hand, mumbled with a sigh.

“N- Nothing! Anyway, what do you want to ask my father?”

“Interested in the exorcist training? Why?”

When I replied with a wry smile, Hijiri and Kaorun looked at each other.

“It is as Hijiri-chan says. To be honest, I believe you are stronger than an imprudent exorcists, Shinobu-sama.”

There were plenty of people stronger than me. So far I hadn’t been satisfied with myself even once. It was fine if someone else was weak. But I couldn’t forgive myself for being weak. The reason for it—

I raised my head on the sudden call of my name. I saw Hijiri looking at me slightly worried.

“Strength comes in all kind of shapes. Your kindness is without doubt a strength, You’re far more charming than a person that’s just strong. So you don’t need to be impatient like that, okay?”

Having my head petted gently by Hijiri, I suddenly remembered.

“Mh? Is that so?”

Suddenly the image of a girl with long hair floated in my head.

—You’re not weak, Shinobu-chan. You’re really kind. You’re strong because you’re kind. I… since you’re like that, I love…

The moment the words of that girl went by in the head, I inadvertently bit my lips. …It might be better not to remember any more. It would just worry Hijiri. I forced myself to smile and opened my mouth to get back on topic.

“I am afraid that the Master went far away. He will not return today.”

A bit dejected, I replied that to Kaorun. Hijiri raised her arm reserved.

“No, thanks for the offer, but I have something else I want to ask you, Hijiri. So not today.”

When Hijiri and I glared at her at the same time, Kaorun, who had butted into the conversation, dropped her shoulders dejected and shut her mouth.

“Hijiri, you said that there might be a devil hidden at the seaside school, right? If you could, would you tell me more about it? Nazuna is going to be there as well. Please tell me anything I should be wary about.”

Hijiri replied with a smile to my words.

“Yes, that is correct. According to my research, the power of the devil seems to be rather low. Moreover, the devil in question is not the type to go out hunting by himself, but rather the type that waits for the prey to approach his territory, just like a spider spans her net. So as long as no one approachs, there should not be any victims.”

“The reason Hijiri-chan was addressed for this matter is because previously a powerful devil hid at a nearby place. It happens rather often that a similar devil appears at a similar place, so they requested Hijiri-chan to investigate just in case…”

“Well, that is the official claiming.”

“This job was passed over by Tachibana-sama. She told Hijiri-chan: ‘It’s summer vacation, so please enjoy the seaside school while you’re on the job’.”

By the way, Tachibana-san was a tall beauty that observed the Hijiri’s test before. I had thought that she was overly strict, but apparently she was kind to Hijiri.

“Hijiri, just ask me if you need any help. I’ll help you as much as possible.”

“Yeah, play with me.”

For now, I nodded to the two of them and after a bit of chit-chat, we resumed our studying.

Hijiri and Kaorun sent me off with regretful expressions, waving her hands. On my way, I bought ice-cream like I had promised Elni and hurried home in the sunset….

The night before the seaside school. Together with Machina and Nazuna, I was watching TV in the living room. Elni came trotting in and naturally sat down in my lap, but I paid it no mind and looked back at the TV.

“What to do. I know have to get to sleep already, but I don’t think I can sleep out of excitement for tomorrow.”

“Fufu, getting so excited over a simple trip, you’re still a kid, Nazuna.”

“Yes, I will. Let’s play together tomorrow.”

Watching these two from my lap, Elni suddenly entrusted her cheek to my left shoulder for no apparent reason. Then she started to look at me with a flirtatious glance, slowly closed both her eyes and pointed out her well-formed, glamorous lips.

Mentally I was quite shaken, but I right away stopped Elni’s face with my palms.

“Nazucat just said that you love the sexy leopardess Nazucat, so I tried being a sexy Dog. So you should feel like playing with me tomorrow now.”

Hiding my agitation from the close-by adorable smile, I gently petted Elni’s head and continued.

“Sexy Dog aka Mad Dog understands!”

“Shinobu, on a first glance Machina seems to be calm, but actually she tried on her swimsuit and blew up the swimming ring in her room yesterday.”

“Yeah. So don’t just play with Nazucat, but also with Machina.”

When I replied with a joke, Elni puffed her cheeks lightly, somehow dissatisfied.

“…Elni, I told you before, but Shinomun graduated already. I turned from an idol into a lone wolf. Please accept it.”

After that I returned to my own room and when I was almost done with my packing for the trip, I heard a reserved knocking sound along with a beautiful voice like the ringing of a bell.

“Yeah, I am.”

She was holding her pillow against her chest and upon recognizing me, she opened her mouth with faintly flushed cheeks.

“Intruders will be shot. That’s all.”

Luna dropped her shoulders dejected and turned her back to me, so

I hastily grabbed her at the shoulder and invited her into the room. Then I asked softly.

“Yes. I have a favour to ask of you, Shinobu-san…”

It was rare for Luna to ask a favour. Becoming a bit happy, I urged her with a smile. Upon that, Luna rubbed her knees against each other, blushed once more and said with upturned eyes.

“…Could it be you want a souvenir?”

Apparently I was wrong. Luna lightly shook her head and said with her cheeks still red.

“Of course.”

“Really?”

…I would never be able to win against this smile.

“Luna, sleeping together is okay, but— no perverted stuff, okay!”

“…H- Hold back? Hey, hey, that’s bad for you body, Lady.”

“Just a joke. Don’t worry about it too much. I’m going to sleep now.”

…Aww, what stupid crap was I saying, geez. I was sure even Luna was shocked. After sighing in my heart, I regained my spirit and swiftly crawled into the bed.

There Luna said “I will turn off the lights” with a lively voice and in the next moment the light I felt on my eyelids vanished. After that I heard small footsteps and Luna entered under the blanket. Instantly, I felt Luna’s presence besides me, her faint breathing and a sweet fragrance. My heart skipped a beat.

…Incomprehensible. I should calm down quickly and sleep.

“Sleep well, Shinobu-san.”

“Uhm, that would mean death?”

“Th- That is a death flag! Please do not jinx it! Also, that is rude to Elni-chan.”

For some reason, this trivial matter made me happy and my chest became faintly warm. Inadvertently I forgot my situation and opened my eyes again. For a while I chatted with Luna…but at some point, she emitted regular breathing, as she had fallen asleep.

Mumbling a sigh, I lightly scratched my head.

However, every time Luna was moving her body with a moan, my heart ignored my will and started to race on it’s own. It didn’t look like I would get any sleep like this. I felt bad for Luna, but I should sleep on the sofa in the living room.

“…Shinobu-san.”

Suddenly Luna called out my name with a quiet voice. I might have woken her up.

…Oh, just sleep-talking.

“Shinobu-san…”

Needless to say, I was incredible agitated.

…If I received any more stimulation, my reason would be blown away without doubt.

“…Love… you… very… much…”

It was just her sleep-talking. It wasn’t certain for whom these words were meant. It wasn’t certain, but Luna smiled happily. She made a really happy, satisfied face.

—I want to stay by her side.

Luna was fawning over me. She was opening her heart. She was staying with the all so weak me.

I slowly lowered my erected body again and closed my eyes.

Strange enough, my lewd thoughts disappeared and I fell asleep while enveloped by Luna’s warmth….
