Vol 3 Chapter 1 (1/2)
Chapter 1: Events of a certain summer
Having the long, long test period end, the students at Seiran Academy welcomed the summer holidays
High school sophomores & summer holidays
Has there ever been anothercombination?
My class like this is the season when chances are the highest for boys and girls in their teens to have their first experience
Now that he said it, I have to agree
Currently, we are high school sophomores
Next year we’ll end up in the front lines preparing for the entrance exams
Co like romance
For this reason… Isn’t being a high school sophomore a chance in several ways?
So that our hearts when preparing for the exaet set free
Life is short
Us h school students cannot but dearly treasure this one last chance given by the Gods
That’s why…
“How can it be…”
Though one week has passed since the start of summer vacation, honestly, until now, I’ve only spent unproductive time alone at home
… That’s natural
My lodger Zono out
My best friend Youhei, having disturbed the firework show at the recent summer festival, has been put under house arrest by the school
Having had bothout with cut off, I can’t help but be dragged into the lifestyle of a NEET
“… Well, what do I do today?”
Since no matter how e my mindset
While sprawled over my bed, when I stretched h my mind
Ring
Before ot just the other day shi+ning with a silvery color
Sohoul, I sealed a contract with Kyouko the Nephilim
Why don’t I try it?… Summon
Coh I’ve seen it a couple of times, I’ve never experienced it myself Monster tamers have the possibility to call forth their contracted partner any time they like
Yosh, it’s decided Let’s summon her
I-it’s not like I’ll call Kyouko to have someone to talk with to kill the excess free time… Now that I think of it, do I have any other choice?
Better safe than sorry
That said, since it can be that things don’t go smoothly when I have to use it, I must practice now that I have the time
“Summon—Nephilim”
Readying
Thereupon, the ring eht that covered the inside of the room
Ooh… It seems it worked somehow
Soon, froed a familiar silhouette
“…”
“…”
Suddenly
An uncos, as if time had stopped
No wonder I became as stiff as if I had been put under a stone spell[1]
The su completely immersed in her personal ti but her undies
… Could she have been reading on top of her bed?
On Kyouko’s hands were the opened pages of a fashi+on azine
Engrossed in reading theon a popsicle… In a word, defenseless
Humm I didn’t know
Kyouko follows such a loose lifestyle while at home…
I’ll never admit it to the person herself, but above her underwear a peek of her cute butt crack was showing itself
“… Ah, ah, ah”
Crying without“it’s the end of the world”, Kyouko’s face paled
Soon, her eht red,
“Do-dododo… Don’t look at me, morooooooon!”
She gathered her strength and hit me
At full force
I think that was perhaps not at full force
“Guoh!?”
Taking Kyouko’s fist head on, h the ith a dreadful sound
As if I had turned into a huh the concrete and sent flying outside the house—
In the end, I intruded into the neighboring house’s yard
Ueh… I’ve pierced it
The repairing fee of the wall, it’ll be quite high
It’s sad that my first worry was that instead of my own body
“Grrr… Woof! Woof! Woof!”
The neighbor’s shi+ba inu[2] raged against the suspicious person (, deep inside its eyes a tinge of fear could be seen
“This condition… Is it normal?…”
Rolling up my t-shi+rt to see the state of my injuries,and shrinking
The red-colored cells healed themselves in the blink of an eye, and the broken bones connected back
A e its body into that of a monster
Noelle North Norm
I superimposed ht against a few days ago
I’ve had an omen from a while back
My body is little by little drifting away from that of a human
So, I’uely worried
The realization thattheot it since after the end of the battle against the Black Tamers the other day
Do all the ones known as monster tamers hold this kind of monstrous power?
While grateful for this, that to the eye of a passerby seees in my body
× × ×
“I-I’m truly sorry!…”
Returning to ized to the dumbfounded Kyouko
Due to suddenly calling her forth, she’ll probably be troubled since she has nothing to put on
Since, enveloped by the bed sheets and with teary eyes as if she was about to cry, Kyouko was quite pitiful, I took a sweatshi+rt from inside my drawers and put it before her
Directing ht to the hole I cleanly e
“… No That’s fine Let’s both forget what has happened today”
Though it ithout ill will, I’ve witnessed Kyouko’s such… Unladylike appearance
I thought about asking her to reiave up
Having Kyouko grown up in a household that couldn’t be said thriving even as flattery is cruelty (being in her undies instead of turning the air conditioner on see)
For that reason, it’s good we have dae insurance
It may be an inconvenience for the insurance company, but from noe’ll be under their care for a while
“Kyouko… Have you finished?”
“… Yup I’ood”
Turning back, I saw ular nightclothes
“Sorry for having to borrow it Tomorroithout fail… I’ll wash and return it!”
“…Y-yeah”
What’s with this… The sight of a wo
And being familiar with the clothes, the destructive power reinforced with the lewdness was doubled
“Good grief… How shameless”
While I was transfixed looking at Kyouko, Zonmi, who had rushed to see ith the sound of the breaking wall, mumbled with her arms crossed before her
“Let’s cut to the chase, Nephili here?”
“? Why does it matter?”
“It’s decided… Each and every time, at every opportunity, you show your u-u-u-underwear to my master!”
“A-are you joking? I-it’s not that I like to sho…”
Kyouko started rebutting with her face flushi+ng, but Zonmi wasn’t satisfied yet
“… No It has not been once or twice, yours exceeds the level of coincidence”
“Even so… Those coincidences keep…”
“… I see You keep saying you have no wicked intentions? It’s crystal clear you want to snatch away my master You’re filthy!”
“…!”
“H-hey”
That was obviously excessive
True, recently, I feel that I’ve seen Kyouko’s panties with a frequency that makes me want to rebuke “Has someone messed with the random number fix[3]?”… But still, that’s no reason to call her “filthy”
“… W-what Rather that would be you…”
Kyouko, as silently hanging her head in shalare and countered
”Fro to emphasize ‘my master, my master’, but isn't it now that you aren’t Haru’s only partner?”
“…!”
Zon
“… You’ve been putting airs of being the only legal wife Since up till now it see!”
“Whaha I don’t intend that… What’s your basis to say that nonsense!?”
“If you have the tis, wouldn’t it be better to convey things with sincerity?”
“… To whom, what do I have to convey?”
“Co you that I took Haru’s first summon You’re just jealous”
“… Fufufu Those words, I’ll take them as a war declaration Come out, Nephilim In the first place, as a rookie tamer, Chiharu is in no need for two partners
Who’s really the most suited partner for Chiharu? Well, usually…”
When Zonmi was in mid-sentence, the next instant
“It’s terrible, it’s terrible, it’s terrible! Are you a pervert, pervert oniichan!?”[4]
THUD, the sound of the door being closed with force
Manami, who had went to a summertime cram school, had arrived
Wow It’s a Godsend
Since, for good or for bad, this sister of ive a whole turn to the mood inside a room
If these two keep bickering like up till now, she et hold of the matter of the hole opened in the wall
Be that as it may
Now, by all means, it’s better that I don’t let that comment slide …
“? But I’m not a pervert, am I?”
The moment I voiced the issue, the atmosphere in the room froze
“…”
“…”
Hey Why have you become speechless?
How do I put it, how colance at me when the response from Manami “No, aren’t you a pervert?” ca from you
“And… Never mind, isn’t it terrible, oniichan!?”
“What’s the rip”
“Don’t mind it, read this!”
“Mm What the heck…?”
Frole letter
Eerrrm The name of the sender was…
“… The heck I can’t be… Could it be this is a prank of yours?”
Gru her cheeks,
“No way! Look well! Isn’t that ?”
“… Well, surely”
If it’s Manami, it’s possible that she has tried once or twice to i, but I felt that this is too intricate to be just a prank
“Chiharu’s mother? Now that you mention it, I’ve yet to meet her face to face”
“… When I think about the day coet a headache”
“It can’t be… From Kanae-san!? That woman was still alive…”
“… Could you stop rando off other people’s mothers?”
Even so, there’s a bit of inevitability in her thinking like that
Kusumi Kanae
The subject that was risen just now, she’s my mother who flies around the world due to her work
Her character… The heck, couldn’t it be summed up as a freewheeler?
If one were to say how much of a freewheeler she is, she’s at a level that would ol nomadic tribes run away barefoot[5]
To tell the truth, even ere kids, we had no other way to prove the existence of ourexpenses
“Then, then, what has she written, oniichan!?”
Mana eyes
Despite beinga letter froht to open the envelope, it seems that, unexpectedly, even my sister has her cute side
Dear Chiharu & Manami
Are you all right?
Mom is worried
Especially for Chiharu, to who with the household responsibilities, recently I haven’t done for hiestures
