It's True Love 38
🕑 Added 2024-01-05 23:29:03 +0000 UTC"Sensei... you really were under a bridge." This must be a SSR find! The legendary Aoko Aozaki, hugging her knees and sitting down in the place most of the homeless of this city live. Well, at this point they have gone to the shelters that got setup after Vlov's rampage.
So Sensei is the only person here... She probably couldn't get to that shelter even if she wanted to, considering she's a criminal. Still, when she said she would find someway of handling herself, I thought she meant something better than this!
She looks in my direction, and raises an eyebrow. "You got a problem with my living situation?" Yes. Sensei is seriously living in this place... I can even see her stuff thrown around... I should have dragged her into Senpai's house.
Well, Senpai's appartment definitely doesn't have enough space to accommodate for another person, but... She could stay with the Tohno's, sure Akiha hates her, but she understand... And failing that, I could still find something else...!
My eye twitches. "I see that I was dumb to think the true enemy was Touko Aozaki. The true enemy is your Senseiness." She should have asked for help, I would have gladly lent a hand to the woman I owe so much.
She scoffs. "And what's that supposed to mean!?" There's a red blush on her face. "Urgh, I guess I don't care. Welp, you saw that I'm fine... now go, before Touko finds you." I'm surprised you didn't kick me.
Rika leaves my shadow. "We aren't going anywhere! We want to help you after all...! Even Four Eyes, but he had to go home." He needs to be with his sister right now, but he's one phone call away from rushing to our position.
Sensei pouts and looks away. "Why did only Shiki learn common sense? Where did I go wrong with you two?" Shiki? Common sense? He does not possess that quality. The truth is that he's just a good brother, even if Akiha might deny this.
I walk over, and sit down right next to her. "So, what's up with your sister anyways? Apparently you two are legendary rivals or something." Sensei does sometimes ramble about random people, so maybe she has mentioned her before.
Sensei takes a deep breath. "Oh, where do I even start...?" Are you about to rant towards me? "Wait... how did you even learn about her, did that church girl tell you? Or Arcueid?" I guess the Aoko rant comes later...
This a topic I wish she hadn't brought up though. "Um... Senpai didn't tell me until later, same with Arcueid. By the way, she's watching us from some random place. Feel free to wave at the direction of your choosing." She does not.
Aoko squints her eyes in my direction. "Oh yeah... Then how did you find out my sister was here, and hunting for my head at that?" H-how about you tell me your cup size first!? Yeah, that won't work.
Still, I'm driven strangely silent by her questioning, eventually however, Rika interjects. "We got attacked by one of her puppets during school time. It was so, so weak, that one slap was enough to end it." Technically my grain was involved too.
And also, the first time we heard it was back with Akiha, when Ryougi was around. I... Akiha said Sensei would handle it, but as you can see, her method of handling things is hiding under an abandoned bridge.
Aoko grits her teeth. "She did what!?" Oh boy, she has activated war path mode. "I'm going to strangle that bitch!" She gets up with one quick move, and she's surprisingly graceful while doing so.
Before Sensei leaves and brings Souya to ruin, I get up as well. "Wait Sensei! Senpai said it was just a warning shot! We aren't in serious danger or anything!" We sort of were. If Touko had caught us slacking, we would be so dead...
Aoko doesn't stop moving forward, she steps out of the bridge's shadow. "Don't care. She crossed a line... I hate when she gets other people involved! That's the one thing she's not supposed to do!" What are you two, Dante and Virgil!?
Jokes aside though, she's probably planning on getting even more people involved... She may drag Ryougi into the fight between you two after all. I don't know exactly how strong Touko Aozaki is, but assuming she is equal to Sensei, I would like to be an equalizer to this new factor in their rivalry.
I rush and pull her hand. "That's understandable and all, but please stop for a moment!" Even as I say that, she just continues to walk while dragging me along. "Rika, help!" My power alone won't be enough to make Sensei have common sense.
My girlfriend rushes to our side, and grabs Aoko's free hand. "Sensei, calm down, please!" If she fails to stop this maniac... I'll have no choice, but to call for Arcueid.
Thankfully though our combined efforts stop her moving... Okay, Rika is doing most of the work. "You two, let me go now! I have something to settle!" Do you even know where Touko is!?
It seems I yet again must use a secret weapon of mine. "Sensei, forget your loser sister, let's go on a date!" Then in that date, I can use my amazing charm to get her to spill the beans on why she has such a horrible relationship with her sister.
As expected, Aoko immediately turns around, her face now the same color as her hair. "Okay! But I'm way past casual dating, you better have intentions to marry me!" W-wow, so this is the power of a supreme Christmas cake!
Rika looks at me. "Yuta, what?" She then looks at the redhead. "Sensei... what!?" She can only question the situation, not attack. The truth is that even her little yandere heart can't stop this machine of destruction.
Arcueid jumps down... from somewhere. "I would also like to have the opportunity to give or deny permission when a woman wishes to date my brother." I'm also your boyfriend! Wait, that's the most important part here!
The vampire gives a thumbs up. "And the Blue receives my approval of course!" Oh, that's great. For a second the thought of you and Rika teaming up to overpower Sensei did go through my mind, so I'm glad such a scenario didn't happen.
Sensei jumps back. "Wait, that was just a natural reaction! I won't be going on a date with my brat!" Your natural reaction is to accept any invitation, and then scream about marriage? "Besides, where did you come from!?" She points at the smug looking Arcueid.
I interject. "Don't pass up on such a amazing opportunity that easily Sensei. I'm handsome, young, handsome, talented, handsome, sort of available..." I then look at the vampire. "By the way, I did say she was watching us." It would be either us or her cellphone.
Rika squints her eyes in my direction. "You... I let you make progress with Bimbocueid too fast, didn't I?" Even as my ghost girlfriend complains, she doesn't object too much over me going on a date with Sensei.
Probably because as said before, she can't stop Aoko. She shouldn't worry though, I would never date someone without the permission of my darling Rika! I'm just looking to cheer up Sensei, and maybe learn more about her sister.
Aoko huffs. "You may be above average looking yes, but that isn't enough for this gal. Find me when you're an adult, with a job." I have a job, literally. I hunt vampires for money and influence... and because Ciel is cute.
I raise an eyebrow. "Are you sure about that? Because... Well, I don't know if there's some level beyond being a Christmas cake, but you might just reach it." I regret saying the truth the moment it comes out of my mouth.
Why? Because Sensei kicked my face as punishment of course.
I get knocked to the ground, thankfully my fall isn't too bad. To be honest, I could have probably stood my ground, but... You know, being down here, while Sensei is up there, glaring at me... It's not too bad.
Her glare gets worse. "Stop drooling Yuta." I'm surprised that's what you commented on. My legendary blade did react a little after all... "And tell that Yuta Jr. to calm down as well." Ah, she did end up commenting on it.
I nod. "I'll tell him that... But for real Sensei, let's go on a date, just you and me." And Rika in my shadows. And Arcueid atop of some building. The sad truth is that I'm never truly alone... I actually like that.
Aoko's blush returns, she really is weak to stuff like that, huh? "Hell no Yuta. Besides, us adults... we get a bit freaky with our dates." So you're still gonna reject me? I guess I can't force, not that I would want that either.
But for the record. "I'll have you know that Arcueid and I ended our date at a love hotel." In the end nothing happened of course, but it was about to! Damn you weird
Arcueid crosses her arms and looks away, a pout on her face. "And what a frustrating and disappointing experience that was..." Yeah, I guess Ryougi and Miyako threw a wrench in our romantic plans, but...
Wait a second, something can be misunderstood about what you said! "Her comment is in no way referring to my sexual prowess, I just want to make that clear." I'm a sex god...! I mean, banging Rika has got to count for something right?
This time, it's Aoko's glare that returns. "You... Yuta, first of all, I do not need to hear about your sex life." That day there was no sex with Arcueid sadly. I did meet two future wives though, that was pretty cool... Well, Ryougi might be my enemy from now on.
For some reason... I feel like she won't be surprised when a guy who expressed romantic interest in her, became an enemy. Weird. That said, I'll try avoiding a violent end to our encounter, I'm not strong enough to start solving everything with violence.
Rika snorts. "What's wrong with Yuta talking about his sex life? Did that trigger some... automatic Christmas cake defense or something?" I do not know who the man who came up with that term is, but I thank him everyday for adding just a bit more misogyny to my culture.
Aoko kicks Rika, my girlfriend winces in pain... It's probably fake, but she knows something worse will come if she shows no reaction. My girlfriend does giggle after it. "Don't worry Sensei, you're not the only Christmas cake around..." And then she gets kicked again.
Still... was she talking about me? I'm not married, and I'm definitely older than twenty-five... So I guess I really am a Christmas cake...! What a haunting realization!
Actually, that cannot be it. Rika considers us to be married, so I would not be a Christmas cake in her eyes, she probably meant Arcueid instead. Still, I... Today I learned something disturbing, and I might never recover from it. I am a Christmas cake.
Now I really need to marry Sensei, but before that, I should finish hearing what she's saying. "Now that I have silenced any annoying students...! Second of all, you're... Look, I'm not dating you Yuta, got it? Be happy that you already have... hell, I don't know what you got going on." I guess I do have a harem already.
And by the logic of normal harems, Sensei would never... would rarely be a route anyways... And neither would Rika, which is why I won't give up! "Then what were those Hikari Genji jokes about?" Oh, I won't give up on the main routes either by the way. I mean, I'm clearly on Arcueid's.
Aoko pokes my forehead. "It was a joke, an Aoko brand joke. Now go on so I can beat up my sister like usual..." She turns around and begins to walk away. I'm guessing she won't stop even if I pile on her like last time.
But there's something I'm still curious about. "Hey Sensei, will you really not tell me what's going on between you and Touko?" I want to know, I need to know...! If I don't, then I won't be able to help my mentor.
She waves me off. "It's nothing much. I hate her, she hates me, it ain't that bad... Heck, we even calmed down in recent years." She sent a murder puppet after your pupil. "So just go home, things are gonna go as always." I don't want that though.
Things don't need to contine on as always, if they do then...! If I let things going on as always for Yuta Okkotsu, then he wouldn't be half the man he is nowadays, so while it may be noisy of me, I will meet and talk with Touko Aozaki!
In fact, I have the perfect plan...
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
"So I'm guessing you didn't get far with what's bothering Sensei?" You would guess right! That's why I came here in fact. "Welp, I guess we can start to scour through the town to look for her sister..." Urgh, I don't want the vampire hunting experience again.
Akiha takes a sip of her tea, which Shiki prepared. "And what are you two talking about exactly...?" She's totally lost, and her guard is also raised. There's a reason for that of course...
Rika takes a sip of her tea. Yes, Rika. "Don't worry too much about it Hot Head, it's stuff exclusive to us three." And now you see why Akiha is looking worried. Now I do love my girlfriend, but she can be pretty intimidating! She also immediately gave Akiha a nickname...
At least I managed to convince Arcueid to stand back and watch from a tree or something. If the vampire was also here, then Akiha would have definitely started a fight... Which she would lose of course.
By the way, in my defense, Akiha isn't completely blind about this information. Touko could maybe target her, so Shiki apparently did inform her that I was attacked during school, so she could prepare herself.
It goes without saying, but I approve of his actions one hundred percent. While I don't want her to know that we are planning to find and possibly defeat Touko Aozaki, she does deserve to know that she's in danger.
Akiha huffs. "I suppose I don't care then!" Even as she says that, she holds her teacup even tighter. I can almost hear cracks coming from it... The nickname Hot Head is certainly an appropriate one.
I pat her head, my protect Akiha instincts have activated. "We are planning on finding Touko Aozaki, and trying to convince her into letting Sensei alone." I couldn't hold it back, the moment I saw her angry I had to change reality itself!
I can see Shiki sighing out of frustration and muttering. "The worst part is that the heat will probably come down on me..." Sorry, blame your sister for being so damn cute. She got all the good genes!
Akiha's eye twitches, she immediately turns around and looks at Shiki. "Big Brother, I believe you owe me an explanation?" Wait, she's only getting mad at him!? What a rare lucky win!
I can see the fear settling on his face. "I... Well...!" He then points at me and my girlfriend. "I will accept any punishments, but please punish these two as well!" You really are trying to throw us under the bus...
Akiha's hair begins to get a red tone to it. "Why would I get mad at Yuta? He works for the church, I imagine hunting down a heretic like Touko Aozaki is his job." I will never tell her that Ciel was against it. "Rika, the Queen of Curses is a ghost, but she also fights beside him. I won't get mad at her.. for this reason." We are safe, thank goodness.
Shiki has no more shields. "Please be light with your punishment." Akiha nods, though she never tells him to stop his hunt of Touko either... Maybe she thinks this is a case where it was not needed to state the obvious.
Sorry, but we are a group of little rascals, so we will definitely be going against that. Ah... Everyone has disapproved of our actions so far, Touko Aozaki must be a truly terrifying person to incite such respect.
The heiress of the Tohno's looks back at me. "So Yuta, what exactly do you need with Miyako? I doubt she... can exactly help you find Touko Aozaki. And even if she can... she should not be involved in all of this mess." True.
I send her a smile. "I agree with that sentiment completely Akiha. Don't worry, this won't drag her into this." If anyone asks me, I don't even know who Miyako Arima is in the first place! Specially if the person asks happens to look like Sensei or something.
Akiha smiles back. "Then I believe everything is fine. She is sleeping however, since she had a tough day." You must be pushing her like hell huh? "Though if the matter is rather urgent, I could wake her up." Is it urgent?
Sort of...? Maybe...? "I just want to get a phone number from her, it shouldn't take long." I'm sorry Miyako, but I don't know how much time I have before Sensei clashes against her rival... Before she risks getting hurt.
Immediate the entire table glares at me for some reason. What did I do wrong this time!? Was it because I was okay with waking her up!? Because if that's the case, then I'm sorry, but a person I care about could be in danger!
Rika crosses her arms. "Yuta... Do you plan on creating more of me's?" What's that supposed to mean!?
Shiki follows suit, imitating her actions. "Yuta... I... Please don't tell me you where serious when you talked about Miyako that way..." Oh, I think I see where this is going.
Akiha's face is back to slowly getting a red tone. "I will not let you flirt with my little sister under my roof, Yuta Okkotsu." I don't plan to!
Ah, this is embarrassing. "I didn't mean it that way... I just want to know if she has Ryougi's cellphone number... Or at least some other information about her. She works for Touko after all." It's a long shot, but it is what I have.
Akiha breathes a sigh of relief. "Oh, so it was that..." You guys have a low opinion of me. I can't even get mad about it either, I know I deserve it. "But don't be a fool Yuta, of course she won't know anything." I... I know, but I really don't want to abandon Sensei.
Akiha grins. "But let it not be said that I'm a supportive woman." She claps her hands, very loudly. "Worthless bum, come here immediately, I require your services!" I'm already here though.
We wait a few moments in silence... Eventually though, Toji Fushiguro enters the room. "Ugh... What am I needed for now?" He sounds and looks as lazy as ever. Is Akiha saying that he knows where to find Touko?
She glares at him. "Don't complain, you still haven't found the main reason why you're here." The reason why he's here huh... Well, Toji is clearly no normal human, so I should have guessed he wasn't just a bodyguard.
He frowns. "Gimme a break, that guy is hard to find... I mean, no one else has managed so far, right?" He's talking about someone who's being pursued by multiple people? This... I guess if Akiha won't tell me, I won't pry. "So, what do ya need me for?" I'm wondering that too.
Akiha sounds authoritative as she speaks. "Track down either Shiki Ryougi or Touko Aozaki, and tell me where they are. Do not engage in combat unless strictly necessary." Toji's squints his eyes in her direction. "You will be paid for this, of course." And that ends his suspicion.
He sends her a thumbs up. "Got it... I don't wanna throw down with Touko Aozaki, but just finding her should be easy... And hell, I never even heard of Shiki Ryougi... Which means I'll be doing some research." And like that he leaves the room again.
Akiha chuckles. "I imagine I shall have the information you need either tomorrow, or after tomorrow. You are welcome Yuta Okkotsu." This woman...
"You're kinda amazing, you know that?" Those are my true feelings right now. Man, the people around me are just way too great... still, now I owe her a debt that I must repay someday.
She sips her tea. "Not just kinda, but I thank you for the compliment." Right now she... at least in my eyes... She's the one who is helping me help my Sensei.
Akiha Tohno is the very picture of a refined woman.
