I was relaxing in the bedroom—a traditional washitsu—when Himiko appeared with a change of clothes. It was 5:00 PM. Considering what lay ahead tonight, getting a bath out of the way now wasn't a bad idea.
"No sexual harassment, understood?"
"I won't! But 'sipping' is okay, right? And kisses... and hugs!"
"...That is all. Just those three things, you hear me?"
"Ehehe~ Okay!"
...There is absolutely no way she's stopping at just sips, kisses, and hugs. Does she not realize I have to be in the workshop next door in two hours to guard Playful Cloud?
Himiko, do you truly understand?!
She didn't understand. She didn't understand at all. In the end, we didn't stop at sips, kisses, and hugs—I was thoroughly "devoured." Why did I have to endure such shameful, blood-stained memories in a brand-new, spacious bathroom? I don't understand it. Please, just let me bathe in peace.
Well, it's true that I started wanting it halfway through. And I know that Himiko loses her self-control in the bath because that's where we usually do our blood-sharing...
Ahem. Enough. I must focus on what comes next rather than the fact that I was Ravished.
After the bath, I changed into my "costume"—my shrine maiden robes—while Himiko put on her school uniform. We left the dorm together. Mr. Aizawa was waiting outside to escort us to the Support Course workshop. We were there to guard Playful Cloud while it was still under analysis.
By the way, the workshop is located exactly three steps to the right of our front door. In other words, it's right next door. Apparently, the Support Course students built it there of their own volition because walking all the way to the school building every time for guard duty was deemed a "waste of time."
...Why? I don't know who did it, but are they out of their minds?
Regardless, having it right next door is honestly a blessing. I can reach it alone without getting lost. I wish the classroom were right in front of the dorm too; then I could go to class by myself. Well, I won't be attending classes for a while anyway. Until the Curse countermeasures are perfect, I'm on "internship" duty.
"It is Madoka Mawari. I am here to guard Playful Cloud, so open the—"
I reached for the hanging curtain of the tent—or rather, the building emitting ominous noises. At that exact moment, an explosion sent me flying backward.
That was close. If I hadn't reflexively shielded myself with Cursed Energy, I would have been seriously injured. What was that? Was my "underling" (Bakugo) lying in wait inside??
What a violent reception! Know your place, brat! ...And more importantly, who is currently pinned on top of me?!
"Madoka-chan!!?" Himiko cried out.
"...I'm fine. I'm not hurt. By the way, is the brat inside? Aizawa, may I go in and discipline that boy?"
"No, wait. It's not Bakugo," Aizawa sighed.
What? Not the brat? After an explosion like that?
And who is this? Who is the "horse's bone" pinning me down? Himiko is starting to wear that cold, terrifying smile, so I'd appreciate it if you moved...
"Ah, sorry! My apologies for the sudden explosion!!"
Who is this girl? Don't talk right in my face. More importantly, get off me. Himiko is wearing an absolutely horrifying smile—move before it's too late!!
"...Madoka-chan. What... are... you... doing...?"
Wait, Himiko! Calm down! Stay calm! I'm not doing anything! Stop that smile! Stop emitting that mysterious, crushing pressure!!
I! DID! NOTHING!!!
"Cough, cough... You...!! Don't just assemble every single thing that pops into your head! Hatsume!!" Power Loader yelled from inside.
Later, I would come to know her. The girl on top of me was Hatsume. Mei Hatsume. An eccentric from the Support Course. A massive problem child who exists solely to give Mr. Power Loader a headache.
And with her arrival, Himiko, my classmates, and I were all about to be swept up in her chaotic wake.
I hate this girl! I can't handle her!!
Whenever she's around, Himiko gets violently jealous!!
