My Classmate Became My Familiar - Chapter 1.6
"Please support me on Ko-fi! Thank you!"
Chapter 1.6
After we parted ways with Ohno-san, the three of us headed back to the dormitory.
“What do you think?”
Fujiwara, who was sitting on the bed, asked while I was on my way to boil some water at the kitchen counter.
“About what?”
“That woman, Ohno-san.”
“She seems to be a princess of an otaku circle. It must be awfully nice to conform to the trends. Good for her. She seems to be enjoying life.”
“No, not that. Didn’t you feel like she was hiding something?”
“Really?”
She looked at Asahi, who was sitting on the sofa.
“Eh? Ah, um…” Asahi seemed to be quite nervous as she muttered.
“I don’t get it. I thought Ohno-san was an amazing person in many ways.”
“That’s right, she’s amazing. Maybe, Asahi, you also want to be like her? Someone who can destroy their circle like that?”
“W-w-what are you saying? I won’t have an affair!”
“Hmm. Oh, well. It’s about time you show us your familiar. A succubus, right?”
“I don’t think this is the right time…”
“No offence. By the way, coffee, tea, or green tea, which do you want?”
“Aa… C-coffee. Thanks!”
“It’s just instant coffee!”
“Ashiya-kun.” Fujiwara got my attention. “I’ll have tea. I want milk tea with extra milk.”
“You can brew it yourself. Don’t be lazy.”
“Ha!? Don’t be so small-minded. It’s not much trouble. More importantly…”
“All right, all right! I’ll make it!”
I compromised before she could say anything, and Fujiwara crossed her legs. “It’s good if you understand.”
This girl…
“Back to the topic at hand, if neither of you thought anything of it, was it just my imagination?”
“I don’t know. Maybe it’s just that Asahi and I didn’t notice.”
“Well, yes,” Asahi nodded. “I didn’t notice anything either.”
“I don’t know, but even if Ohno-san lied about something, it wouldn’t make any difference. So why don’t you just leave it alone? We all have one or two things we don’t want to say.”
The water boiled quickly, and I poured it into the cups.
“Well, that’s right. It’ll be all over once we defeat the thought entity.”
“But if we don’t deal with the source, won’t it spawn more thoughts?” Asahi said with a wry smile.
That’s true. The reason why Ohno-san was being harassed by a thought entity was that there were people with a strong grudge against her. Even if you disperse them, if you don’t solve the root of the problem, the possibility of another one appearing again is quite high.
But still.
“Well, we shouldn’t pry any further. The only thing we’ve been asked to do is to defeat it. If that’s the case, then we should just kill it and give some advice. After that, we don’t have to hold any more responsibility. The rest is Ohno-san’s problem. What more can we do?”
“That’s…”
“It’ll be fine as long as we explain that if she doesn’t clear up her relationship, she’ll get another one like it.”
I said as I placed the cup in front of Asahi.
As Asahi began to stir the coffee with her spoon, she muttered, “… I guess so”.
It seems that she was convinced, though not from the bottom of her heart. She’s quite a tough girl to please.
“Aren’t you being too kind? Be a little more reasonable. See, why don’t you take a lesson from me?”
“What are you talking about?”
To my suggestion, Fujiwara laughed scornfully and commented, “No, Hirano-san. If you follow this scumbag’s steps, it will be the end of your humanity.”
“Your milk tea.”
I put the tea on the bedside table, and Fujiwara sipped it without thanking me, muttering in disgust, “Not enough milk.” This girl seriously needs to be slapped once.
“Um…”
When I managed to suppress my irritation, Asahi said modestly, “You two are living in this room together now, right?”
“Yeah, well, we do.” Fujiwara replied with a nod and said, “If I leave Ashiya-kun, my magic power will run out, and I’ll die. Of course, I’m unwilling, but I’m forced to live with him, and it’s not a weird thing, you know?”
“… I see. Heh…”
*Spin-spin*
Asahi stared at the coffee and muttered as she spun the spoon.
“That’s nice…”
“What?”
When I asked, she looked up at me, flustered.
“Eh? Oh, no, that’s… It was… I envy you living with someone else…?”
“Why’s that? If that’s the case, why don’t you go live with the succubus too? I mean, it’s about time you showed us the succubus. I’ve been wondering about it for a while.”
“Uu… Do I really need to…?”
“I want to see it. I really want to see it. It’s really erotic, right? Let me see.”
When I said that excitedly, Fujiwara spat out, “You suck!”
Yeah, it sucks!
“Ugh.” Asahi groaned and took out a thick grimoire from her bag.
“T-then… Just a peek… Okay?”
Asahi sent magic power into the grimoire.
Then a magic circle appeared above Asahi’s head, from which a woman with devilish wings and goat horns appeared.
“Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
I shouted, clenching my fists.
Her skin…
The floating woman was wrapped (not entirely) in thin clothing that looked like a piece of string, exposing about ninety-five percent of her skin.
She was sexy!
Her body was voluptuous, and the combination of a cute face with a touch of youthfulness made her look immoral.
She was exactly how a ‘Succubus’ is described.
Isn’t she…?
Hmm?
I shifted my gaze from the succubus floating in the air to Asahi.
I stared at Asahi, then back at the succubus.
What the?
“Y-you have the same face! Eh, twins? Asahi-san, were you a succubus?”
“No!!”
Asahi shouted.
But then the succubus glided behind her and placed both hands on her shoulders.
“She’s not. I’m just imitating her. Fufu. Hi there, little boy~”
My heart jumped as she gave me an erotic smile.
Oh, no.
I fell in love. It was the kind of smile that made one fall in love.
I could feel my face getting hot…
“H-hello.”
When I awkwardly replied, the succubus chuckled and flew over to me.
“Oh, why are you so nervous? You look pretty strong and cute~”
Her fingertips stroked my thigh with just the right amount of force, barely grazing.
My whole body shuddered.
She approached so closely that I could feel her breath.
She stared at me with the same eyes as Asahi’s, usually hidden by her bangs, seemingly sucking me right in.
Her red tongue peeked out from her red lips.
She stroked my thighs and lifted my chin.
“Ah…”
I couldn’t take my eyes off her.
I couldn’t think of anything.
Her lips approached close to mine.
“ASHIYA-KUN!!”
I huffed at Fujiwara’s scream.
I jolted back and pushed the succubus away from me.
“Oh, Oh… eh? What… What just?”
I was about to lose my consciousness.
Why?
What just happened?
Scary!?
Succubi are scary!!
“W-why?” Asahi flustered and asked her, “W-what, what were you doing?”
“Yaan~ Don’t get mad at me. He looks so delicious, so I wanted to have a taste of him~”
As she floated back to Asahi’s side, her tail brushed my chin.
My heart began to jump.
Ah… I’m dying!
“You!! You can’t do that! W-why did you do that!?”
“Instincts… It’s like breathing to me, you know~”
“That’s not what I meant! Mouu—!!”
I had never seen her this furious.
My face tensed up as I tried to control my racing heart.
Oh, man. I almost had my energy sucked out of me. Scary. Succubi are scary.
“But that’s good! If I can charm him in my current form, it means that Master can make him fall in love as well, right? Fufu… I’m so happy for you~”
“Is… is that so? Really?”
Asahi, who had been shouting, sat down and curiously looked at the succubus.
“Yes, you can! Because my current appearance is entirely yours!”
Really!!!!!!!?
I stared at the succubus as if to lick her entire body, and then I looked at Asahi.
Is it the same?
There, that, and everything else is the same…?
Hee—
Heeee—
Thanks for the lesson!
“A.S.H.I.Y.A-K.U.N!!”
My body convulsed.
I looked over and saw a blank-faced Fujiwara glaring at me.
“F-Fujiwara. You’re scaring me! Please don’t stare at me like that. I’m begging you. Please return to your normal self, lovely Chikage Fujiwara-sama.”
“How can you be so pathetic?” Fujiwara spat out, “You fell for a succubus. I feel like crying, thinking that I’m the familiar of such trash!”
“W-why aren’t you crying then?”
“Ha?”
“… It’s impossible for me to resist because that thing is seriously alluring.”
[…]
“Well… looking at the succubus, I realized that even though you have a good face, you aren’t sexy at all. No, I’ve to thank you that you’re my familiar. I mean, now you can rest assured that I won’t be making any mistakes. I really appreciate it.”
And after that…
She kicked me in the face…
