LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 27 – I Awakened something, but it’s not Hidden Power
We are now in the class, about to take a lesson as usual. But today something was different from the previous days.
It was because the teacher brought along a girl with long blonde hair and green eyes with her. The girl in question was wearing girl’s Kuoh uniform, but what she was wearing was a bit different from the other students.
It was because of her shirts. Instead of wearing some kind of corset-looking blazer like the other female student, she was wearing a black vest.
Both of her hands were placed in front of her, appearing to be polite as she introduced herself.
“My name is Asia Argento, nice to meet you.”
The girl, Asia smiled as she closed her eyes, instantly charmed the boys in the class. Well, excluding me. I just leaned against my seat while looking at her.
It seems that Asia noticed my gaze and looked at me. She was surprised when she saw me and almost let out a yelp before the teacher saved her.
“Well then, Argento-san. You can sit next to Yuki-san over there.” The teacher pointed at the seat right next to Tsura.
“Y-yes!” She answered with a rather loud voice because of the surprise. The teacher just brushed it off as she think maybe Asia was too nervous to attend a new school with a new environment.
Asia walked towards her seat and sat silently while looking at me warily then at Issei before looking at the teacher in the front of the class.
“Alright, let’s start the lesson.”
***
After school ended, I saw Asia walking over to Issei and saying something to him before they exited the classroom together.
Well, maybe Asia wanted Issei to show her around the school, but that’s not too important for me. While I was watching them, Kuroka approached me and said.
“Riku-sama, I will meet with Shirone today. She asked me to teach her in Senjutsu nya!”
‘She wanted to learn Senjutsu, huh? That’s a good idea.’ I thought as I touched my chin and looked at Kuroka.
“Then I will go with you, Kuroka. We can use this chance to introduce Tsura to her too.”
Tsura heard me calling her name approached me from behind. “Shirone-chan? Can I meet her too, Kuroka?”
Kuroka face beamed into a smile before saying. “Of course nya! I think she will be happy to meet you too.”
“Then it’s decided, let’s go to meet Koneko-chan.” I said as I stood up from my chair.
***
“Why is he here, onee-chan?” Asked Koneko as she looked at me.
Right now, Kuroka, Tsura, Koneko and I are in a clearing behind the Kuoh Academy. The reason was to train Koneko in Senjutsu. But, what I didn’t expect was her reaction when she saw me. Why? Was it because I didn’t bring any sweet with me right now?
“Shirone, as I said yesterday, Riku-sama is a good man, unlike that perverted boy under Rias nya. Why did you always act like this towards Riku-sama nya?” Kuroka defending me by comparing me with issei.
‘Kuroka… if you compared me with Issei, then she will think of me as a pervert like him! At least compare me with my old man!’ I thought while trying my best to not sigh.
“I know, onee-chan. But, I can’t smell him, that’s why I’m scared of him.” Said Koneko as she looked at Kuroka.
When I think about it, I always layered my body with my Fear, although it’s not visible to other people. That masked my presence to make the other supernatural feel that I am human, but at the same time, it also erases my energy and the others thing.
That’s the reason why I said that Koneko wouldn’t be able to find me. But to think that she acts like that to me because she can’t smell my origin and is wary of me. Well, maybe my act when we meet the first time in the student council room was too much for her.
“I see, so that’s the reason? Why you didn’t tell me about it yesterday? If that’s the case, then it’s easy.” I said to Koneko as I erased my Fear for her.
I also turned to my Youkai form in front of her to make my claim believable.
Her eyes were bulging when she saw me change into my youkai form and I smiled in victory. Now the question, did Rias didn’t tell her peerage that I am the son of Nurarihyon? Why did Koneko look surprised when she saw me changing form?
“You’re a youkai?” Asked Koneko while looking at me. She slowly approached me and smelled me from a close range. “Sakura… it’s good.”
I smiled at Koneko and said. “How is it? You’re not afraid anymore?”
Koneko raised her head to look at me and give me a nod. “You smell like Sakura, there is a bit of sake smell but that’s okay. You’re a good person.”
“Nyaa!! You’re too close to Riku-sama nya!” Kuroka approached Koneko, putting her hands below Koneko’s armpit, and pulled her away from me.
“Hahahaha.” I heard a giggle from my side and saw that Tsura was giggling while covering her mouth with her hand.
Now that it’s settled, then I think I need to ask her for once more time.
“So, can I call you Shirone? I am clear right?”
Koneko released herself from Kuroka and looked at me. “I will think about it…”
That’s an improvement, I guess. But now, I think I need to settle something before we begin with Kone- Shirone training.
I looked at Kuroka and approached her. But, as I stepped forward one step, she took one step back, as if running away from me.
Because she kept stepping back from me, her back eventually hit a tree and she can’t run away from me anymore. She looked at me and tilted her head while saying.
“Nya?”
“You didn’t tell Kon- Shirone-chan that I am a youkai?” I leaned my face closer to Kuroka and she sweated before averting her gaze.
“I-I thought that Shirone knows about it nya! Riku-sama made such a show in the student council room, and those devils from Gremory and Sitri house knew about your identity nya! I don’t know that they didn’t tell anyone about it, so I’m innocent, nya?”
After saying all of that, Kuroka looked at me while putting her hands together as if she’s praying.
I leaned my mouth closer to her right ear and said. “You will get punished tonight.”
Kuroka’s cat ears suddenly appeared as I said that and perked up in surprise. I pulled my face away from her and I really didn’t expect her reaction towards what I am saying.
She put both of her hands on her cheeks while having a big smile on her face. She jumped around on her ground while saying Nya! Repeatedly.
I think I awaken something within her…
I decided to ignore her and walked over to Tsura and Shirone.
