Chapter 139 - Natsume is cute.

That girl, she disliked puppet shows. No, she was disgusted by them.

Standing behind the puppet, the puppet maker was making a series of movements to manipulate it using the strings. Still, nothing resembling good feelings came from that.

The reason had been clear. From as far back as the girl could remember a cold apparition had appeared in her immediate vicinity.

Anger, joy, sadness, whenever the girl's mind and body were enwrapped with such human emotions, that the cold apparition of ice would appear with absolute certainty.

When it appears, it was always from beside the girl or from behind her.

Even if the girl spoke to it, even if the girl shouted at it, the ice apparition, far from expressing any emotions, didn't offer up even a single word. On the contrary, it didn't so much as tremble. Quite simply, it was just there. For her who was ranting and raving about the apparition, her childish mind found that dolls, which were similar to the spirit, to be thoroughly detestable.

For that reason, she disliked puppet shows. Because she'd end up feeling as though the ice apparition was manipulating her with invisible strings.

Even if she spoke to her loveable parents about the apparition, thinking it was a joke of their daughter, merely a delusion of childhood, they didn't pay any serious attention to it. Most frighteningly, the ice apparition would be standing beside her parents' bed when they were sleeping at night. It watched her father and mother's faces with a silent gaze. Fearing that it would make her parents disappear, the girl completely despised the ice apparition.

Then one year, when the girl was nine years old, a tragedy occurred.

She lost both her parents simultaneously.

Having worked together at the same place, her parents were caught up in a mysterious accidental explosion at their workplace…

She couldn't remember exactly what happened after that. Being informed of the death of her parents, completing the funeral service, being unable to find relatives who could care for her going forward… All the girl remembered was that, in her profound misery, she came to embrace complex emotions towards the ice apparition.

By the time she noticed, she was in the home of an unfamiliar old woman who was wearing a plain smile.

The old woman was a witch, a magician. On top of believing in the girl's ice apparition, she instructed her in regards to the spirit.

"I will teach you magic."

Displaying a gentle expression, the old woman taught the girl, who was accompanied by the apparition, a miraculous power.

Magic.

The old woman would address the girl whenever she would distance herself from the apparition.

"Listen, Lavinia. You mustn't be afraid of your own power."

The old woman who was teaching the girl named Lavinia, her witch master, always spoke tenderly to her pupil who feared her own power.

"Magic is a miraculous power can bring happiness to everyone, and concerning that puppet of ice..."

.....................

That place... was darkness.

Without any light, it was a jet blackness without any impurity where not a sound could be heard.

His eyes should be open, and yet it was dark, he should have been carefully listening and yet not even the smallest sound could be heard.

Even if he moved his finger, he couldn't feel anything. No, to begin with, whether he was even moving his finger, whether his finger was even moving, he couldn't sense even that.

Noticing that he couldn't hear even his own heartbeat, he, Tobio Ikuse, pondered whether he was hallucinating of his own death but....

Together with a snapping sound like that of having received an electric shock, he was assaulted by sharp pain throughout his entire body along with a feeling like his nerves were being scrapped.

Shutting his eyes in pain, when he next opened them light had spread before his eyes. A white arm reached out from in front of him.

It seemed to him that the arm was of someone familiar. The arm of someone holding out a hand to him as though to pull him up. To seize it, Tobio stuck out his own right arm but... His right arm, it was jet black.

The black arm did not appear at all to be that of a human. Being covered with black body hair, having the nails of the five fingers be completely sharp, it was like that of a beast's.

Tobio touched his hand to his own face. For the first time, what he sensed there was something utterly foreign when compared to his own face.

A protruding mouth, ears that rose to a point, and even his whole face was covered with hair the same as his arm.

The arm of somebody reaching out from the light was gradually getting further away. Tobio hurriedly reached out to seize the arm, but there was no indication of it reaching.

As it was, he did not seize that person's hand. Something, if there was something he could do to reach it...!

Thinking this much, what crossed his mind was a distorted protuberance. If he were to consider it, it would seem that something would grow out of his arm. With that, he should be able to reach that hand.

"That's no good. If I extend that protuberance, that Blade, I'll cut that person's hand."

For shortening the distance with that important receding person, only that disgusting blade...

Suddenly that voice whispered close to his ear.

'Your blade, it reaches just about anything. However, your blade, it wounds everything.'

That voice, it finished speaking by ridiculing him.

'After all, you have already ceased being human.'

..................….

Early in the morning, Drako woke up at the same time as usual.

Lifting his upper body, he took a deep breath. It was time to get up, and there was no time to waste.

It had been two months since the incident involving the Utsusemi Agency. Since then, Drako and the others had spent time training or recovering from their injuries.

Today was the day all the members of SlashDog began their classes with Baraqiel. Unlike the others, Natsume had been the only one who had been training with Baraqiel and Akeno.

Drako had work to do before the others woke up, so he had to get up now. Deciding this, Drako started to get up and removed the thin covers. Suddenly, his hand touched something.

It was squishy.

Drako wasn't an inexperienced kid. He knew exactly what he was playing with. These tits were pretty big, but the only girl who slept with Drako who had big tits was Kuroka. But Drako knew Kuroka's b.r.e.a.s.ts perfectly, so he knew that this tit did not belong to the Nekoshou. This tit was a little smaller than Kuroka's.

Drako had a suspicion of who it might be, so he turned his gaze to the person in question.

"Uun..."

The girl in question groaned slightly as Drako tightened her grip slightly.

The girl was sleeping on her right side. Her figure was covered by a simple white shirt. Drako's gaze was drawn to those dangerous bare legs.

It was Natsume Minagawa.

After two months, Drako was already very familiar with Natsume. Still, it was strange to see her sleeping in his bed. Of all the students involved in the accident, Natsume was the closest to Drako. Since they spent their mornings at Grigori, they spent a lot of time together.

Natsume slept next to Lavinia in the room that was right next to Drako's room, so she could have been in the wrong room at night. Although it would be expected for Lavinia to make a mistake, it seems that this time it was Natsume's turn.

Drako shook his head and stretched out a bit.

For the second time, he checked that it was Natsume who was sleeping next to him.

"Wait a minute... Why are you taking it?"

Complaining in her sleep, Natsume tugged at the sheets Drako had lifted.

Drako was surprised. Had Natsume entered his room without him noticing?

And to think that somehow the girls could sneak into his bed without him noticing.

Well, it was she who had snuck into his bed, so Drako was not going to ask permission to appreciate Natsume's beautiful figure. Since the hairstyle she always wears has fallen out, Natsume gives a s.e.xy impression. Besides, she's a little dishevelled. It looks like she's been turning around in her sleep.

Drako got out of bed slowly so as not to wake up all the girls who were still sleeping. Natsume was not the only girl sleeping in the bed, as there were also Kuroka, Akeno, Mordred, Valina and Shirone.

"Nyaa, Drako. Are you leaving already?"

A pair of arms encircled Drako's neck from behind, and he felt the soft sensation of b.r.e.a.s.ts resting on his back. Kuroka rested her head on Drako's shoulder and blew into her ear.

"Yes, I have to get everything ready before I leave."

Drako responded softly.

"Nyaa, it does not matter. Let's just get some more sleep."

"No, but..."

Drako realized at that moment that Kuroka was not fully awake. She had sensed him rising and had acted unconsciously.

The problem was that Kuroka was pushing him toward Natsume. Drako hurried to the bed, or he would have crushed Natsume.

"Hey, Kuroka."

"Shut up and go to sleep, nyaa!"

Kuroka raised his voice at that moment. This was not a problem for the girls who used to sleep with Drako, as it was difficult for them to be awakened by something like this. Some girls were not used to this, however.

"Unn... Fuhaa... Jeez, don't raise your voice in the morning."

Natsume opened his eyes slowly and found Drako's face. Her mind froze for a moment.

Drako knew this was bad. Natsume's personality was something he knew well. While she was an energetic girl, she was very embarrassed when it came to this sort of situation.

Drako only slept in a pair of shorts, so his chest was exposed. Natsume compared Drako's current state to the state she was in. Slowly, return to the clothing she had slept in, her face gradually blushed. Suddenly, she covered half of her face with the thin sheet. Glancing briefly at Drako, embarrassed, she hid her face in the sheet.

What about that reaction?

Drako was confused.

If she had been the usual Natsume, she would have screamed in an angry voice and beaten him because of his shame. Drako expected her to make a fuss about this situation. But at her unexpected reaction, Drako was also perplexed.

"So this is a sleep assault..."

Natsume let out a slightly disappointed chuckle.

"You're wrong, Natsu..."

"No. I don't blame you, Drako-kun. You're a dragon, after all. Baraqiel-sensei told me about your kind, so I understand this situation."

Just as Drako had hoped, Natsume had misunderstood everything. It was just that her initial reaction had left him a bit surprised.

"Although you should have just asked me and I would have given you everything..."

Natsume muttered that, hoping that Drako would not hear it. She did not know that Drako's senses were completely different than those of a human, or perhaps she did, but she did not remember. She spoke with a voice that a human should not be able to hear, but it reached Drako's ears without a hitch.

So this little girl felt that way, Drako thought.

Tears welled up in Natsume's eyes, and she seemed to be about to cry.

"Natsume, I..."

Drako tried to speak, but Kuroka had to step in at the right time. She seemed upset that Drako had not returned to bed, and she pushed him down hard. Kuroka's sudden push came as a surprise to Drako, and his stance collapsed slightly.

He struggled not to fall on top of Natsume, but this movement caused the sheet to fall a bit, revealing Natsume's face.

Drako's lips made contact with Natsume's.

"Sweet..."

It was an accident, but Drako always made the most of accidents. It was only for a moment, but he tasted Natsume's lips deeply.

"My first kiss..."

She was in shock since she didn't expect her first kiss to go like this.

Don't misunderstand her, she wasn't sad about it. In fact, her heart was beating very fast, and she was getting excited. She was feeling a mixture of happiness and shame, as she didn't expect her crush to steal her first kiss.

It was true that she had always dreamt of something more romantic, but these moments also had their romance.

It was strange that she thought that way when at first she thought she was going to be assaulted. But this is a Japanese Light Novel girl we're talking about.

"Silly girl, do you think I'd assault you while I'm surrounded by people?" Drako whispered in Natsume's ear.

Natsume's mind cleared when she heard Drako's words.

She was in Drako's room, and multiple girls slept here. Even if they were in Natsume's room, so was Lavinia. There was no point in Drako assaulting her in this place.

"Then what are you doing on top of me?" she asked anxiously.

Drako looked away in reply, and Natsume followed his gaze. She found the sleeping Kuroka, who was still pushing Drako.

So it had all been an accident, Natsume thought.

She was relieved, on the one hand, that she was not going to be assaulted, and disappointed on the other, that Drako had approached her by accident.

"Kuroka is very strong, and I don't want to wake the others. Do you mind if I stay like this for a while?"

"No..."

Since Natsume had given him permission, Drako relaxed a bit. The pressure Kuroka was putting on him was too much, so he moved a little closer to Natsume.

Their faces were only a few inches apart, and each felt the other's breath. Their bodies were practically glued together, and Drako could feel Natsume's tits leaning against his chest.

Drako could not help but admire the beauty of Natsume. She was probably not on par with Kuroka, but she was very close to the Nekoshou.

Natsume flushed, and her breath was getting heavy. Drako was beginning to feel Natsume's n.i.p.p.l.es bristle, and he noticed them directly on his chest. She seemed to notice this as well, as her blush was deepening.

"Drako..."

Hearing Natsume's seductive voice, Drako could no longer control himself.

He lowered his head and stole Natsume's lips. To Drako's surprise, Natsume did not resist at all.

Slowly, Drako thrust his tongue into Natsume's mouth. She had her teeth closed, so Drako opened them gently with his tongue.

She was an inexperienced girl, so Drako had to guide her.

Natsume was putting up no resistance, so Drako could force his way in with relative ease. Assuming the role of teacher, Drako linked his tongue to Natsume's.

Drako played with it a bit and withdrew the kiss when he saw that Natsume was running out of breath.

"Haaa... haa..."

Natsume breathed heavily as she fixed her intoxicated eyes on Drako's. She did not understand why she was feeling so hot at this point.

Drako felt the force Kuroka was exerting disappear and took advantage of the moment to withdraw. But a pair of arms wrapped around his neck and prevented him from leaving.

"Drako-kun..."

Drako could easily break free of Natsume's embrace, but he did not want to hurt her.

"One more kiss, but that's it. I have work to do, Natsume."

The girl nodded weakly and put more strength into her arms to draw Drako in. She was a greedy child, there was no doubt about it.

Drako would not be a man if he did not enjoy a woman who was throwing herself into his arms.

Having learned from the last kiss, Natsume voluntarily stuck out her tongue to fuse it with Drako's. The two became involved in a situation where the two were kissing passionately, creating lewd sounds as they kissed.

Drako grabbed one of Natsume's tits with one hand that he had tucked into the inside of the simple shirt she was wearing. He began massaging her b.r.e.a.s.ts, feeling their softness to the fullest.

"Ahn..."

Natsume tried to m.o.a.n, but Drako silenced her mouth with his tongue. The kiss continued for a few more seconds until Drako felt it was enough.

He finally separated his tongue from Natsume's and rose from the bed. She had run out of strength to keep Drako with her.

"You can still sleep a little longer, now I'm going to wake you all up later."

Drako stroked Natsume's face and kissed her on the forehead before leaving the room.

..........

Drako and Natsume didn't realize that two other girls were spying while they were kissing.

One of them was Kuroka, who had pretended to be sleeping all this time.

Kuroka had been enjoying s.e.x with Drako for the past two months, and she had enjoyed it very much. The problem was that each time they had s.e.x, Kuroka felt more and more overcome by Drako's s.e.x.u.a.l instincts.

For Kuroka, there was no problem with becoming Drako's s.e.x doll. But she didn't want to die because her partner in the bed was too good and had too much stamina.

How many times had Kuroka lost consciousness because of the great pleasure Drako gave her?

She had lost count, and it had barely been two months since they had begun having s.e.x.

She had been talking to the girl who had been spying on them, trying to get her to come closer to Drako romantically, but she had not been getting any results. She had done the same with Drako, but he had rejected her by saying that relationsh.i.p.s had to be developed step by step.

This had frustrated her greatly, but there was nothing she could do.

Until today.

Natsume was not the girl that has been spying them for two months, but Kuroka knew that she had developed a crush on Drako. Kuroka was not even responsible for Natsume being in Drako's bed at this point, as she had arrived here on her own.

But Kuroka was not about to pass up this golden opportunity that had come her way.

She had not been training Shirone for the past two months, but she also tested her new skills.

What had caused Natsume to be so hot was Kuroka's [Pheromones]. She had learned to control that skill better and had reduced it to only partially affecting Natsume. Such was Kuroka's control of this ability that Drako had not even noticed that she was slightly altering Natsume's mind.

Kuroka's ability did not literally alter Natsume's mind. She was merely increasing a desire the girl already had. The result was Natsume kissing Drako passionately.

Kuroka had not fulfilled her goal, but she had taken a step forward.

The second girl was...
