I moved to the side and sighed seeing a familiar cute face right beside me. He had a big smile on his face and honestly, I had no idea when he even entered the room.
"Do you have a weird liking for sneaking up on people like this?" I asked Koto and he giggled a little.
"Who knows, maybe I only do that to senpai," he said mischievously. "I heard that you arrived so there wasn’t any way that I would let you alone."
"I’m not alone you know, I am accompanied by Natsumi-san and Ai," I said mentioning the truly strong women who were standing right behind me.
"How hard is it for you to understand that I wanted to see you? Senpai you meanie," he said while pouting and I ignored him. I don’t know what is his deal honestly.
I walked over to Ai and started talking to her about her weapon. Luckily the weapon fit perfectly in her hands and they also looked good look wise to her. The fact that they were light also helped her to make quick and precise attacks to render the enemy immobile and then kill them without much problem.
"Don’t ignore me like this senpai," Koto whined.
"Stop being annoying now," Natsumi-san said picking him up by his collar. Since he was a bit shorter than all of us, he had his feet off the ground struggling to get out of Natsumi-san’s hands. "Moreover, why are you here? Shouldn’t you be in the training room for us?"
"I could but I wanted to see Senpai," he said with stars in his eyes.
"Why though?" I asked him and he just winked at me making me raise my eyebrow.
"Well since it’s Senpai of course. As your junior who admires you, I should have all the rights to want to see you," he said giving me a thumbs up and I sighed.
I looked at Ai and she was staring at Koto weirdly and then grabbed my arm to hug it. I didn’t really understand the reasoning behind that but she took out her tongue in a teasing way with a "bleh" and turned around with a pout on her face. I didn’t really know what was actually going on so I just let it be for now.
"Come on now Ai-senpai, I am not going to take Senpai away from you," he said teasingly at Ai and she started growling at him. "Okay, okay, I won’t play for a little longer so you can let your primal instincts from coming out."
We were almost done with this little ordeal until something else happened. From the distance, I heard another voice which sent a chill down my spine.
"Kazuki-kun~" I heard and I looked behind Koto seeing a bunch of blonde hair on a woman who was running at us with her face beaming with happiness. To a man of her face, this would be the perfect way to make them fall in love but for someone who was not her age and knows her better than some stranger, I hid behind Ai.
"Oh no. T-that voice…" Koto spoke meekly looking right behind him and seeing the figure of Ama approaching closer and closer to us.
"Oh my, even Koto-kun," she said happily and started running even faster.
"S-Senpai, I will see you later," he said in fear and turned around and started running past Ama but much to his discomfort, she was a lot faster than him. Ama caught Koto by his hand and she pulled him in a big hug suffocating him at the same time with her chest. He started struggling for air but Ama’s strength surpassed anything a normal human can have and Koto was being the victim of him.
"How long has it been since I last saw you~," she said in a flirtatious voice. "You have no idea how much I missed you my little Koto-kun~"
"Whet meh gwo," I heard the tries of Koto but they all went in vain since Ama wasn’t going to let go of the boy anytime soon.
"Natsumi-san," I whispered to her from behind. "Is there any other way to get out of this place?"
"No, the only exit is the one right before you. Where Ama is standing," she spoke and I slouched in defeat. As much as I know she is not a bad person. The past experiences I had with Ama weren’t something I really wanted to experience again. If I did, I’ll either get traumatized for life or will be killed at the hands of Ai. Or maybe both but I don’t really know.
"Should I just kill this woman?" Ai asked innocently at me with a radiating smile on her face. She can really say stuff like this while looking adorable. Amazing.
"Remember Ai, what did you promise me? No killing humans," I reminded the half-vampire and she pouted.
"But she is really annoying and trying to get too close to you. It frustrates me to see," she said holding my arm tighter.
"Now that I think about it. You’ve got a lot softer Ai. Before you won’t even listen to me when I would say things like these easily," I told to her.
"That’s because I promised you," she said. "And I will not break a promise I made to you. I’d rather have a stake run through my heart than that- "
"Okay, okay, I get what you mean. No need to go into that detail about it," I said and looked back at Ama. "But we do need to go past Ama. How do we do that then?"
"You can’t," Natsumi-san said walking over to Ama and just sighed before walking past her as if just saying, "This doesn’t even bother me."
Oh, come on now Natsumi-san. Help your nephew out here.
I looked at Ama and her eyes fell on me and a mischievous smile fell on her face. She let go of Koto much to his surprise and in one leap appeared right before us two. Within milliseconds I would be in the clutches of this woman and I was honestly terrified about that fact. Is this really necessary? Does this really need to happen? God help me, please.
"NOT ON MY WATCH!" Ai shouted and kicked Ama making her go off track and land right before a wall before her face could hit it. Ai stood right before me and was growling at her. "I will not let you touch my Kazu-kun," she said and got in a defensive position.
"Why would that be Ai-chan? Is this how you will thank me for the blades I made for you?" Ama whined and walked over to us.
"Thank you for those but nothing in this world will be enough for me to let you have him," Ai said and she chuckled and placed a hand on her face and rest it there.
"Oh don’t get me wrong. I’m not one to get emotionally involved with a person. I’m more of someone who likes a little fun in life from time to time," she said looking at me and I shivered. "So don’t think I am taking Kazuki-kun away from you. I am just borrowing him for some time and that’s all. Nothing outside that. Trust me."
"As if I would let that happen," she said and in a blink of an eye, Ama was right before and held Ai’s face, her hands. She brought it closer to get a look surprising Ai.
"Now that I think about it, you are pretty cute too. My, the new generation is just amazing," she said caressing Ai’s face. Okay, what is going on? She brought Ai’s face close and I just watched. I could see Ai’s face getting red from the sudden moves of Ama but she quickly snapped out of it. "Ah, looks like you snapped out of this. Too bad."
Without missing a single second, she jumped right before me, and before seeing eternal darkness with a sweet smell assaulting my nose, I just saw two large melons moving at me my entire body was overcome with warmth and also my lungs were struggling to get some air in them. I raised my hands up in the air trying to breathe but Ama’s death hold was too strong to beat.
"Let go of him!" Ai screamed and Ama jumped with me in her arms in the same position. I couldn’t see what was going on but I heard Ai starting to attack Ama and she kept dodging it all the while not letting me go. Why do I have to be in the middle of all this?
"Okay, I will let him go but I have one condition," Ama said finally stopping to move. "You let me spend an entire afternoon with Kazuki-kun and him alone."
"As if I will!" Ai screamed and attacked again but this time, Ama let go of me and turned me around. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a silver blade stopping just two centimeters from my face and I gulped loudly. Ai stood there with anger and annoyance in her eyes. "You bitch."
"Don’t blame me now. I was already very confident in Ai-chan not hurting Kazuki-kun even if it were to happen. I would have already stopped her," Ama said having her hand on my head. "You see Ai-chan, I have taken a bit of a liking to your boyfriend so I won’t let him get hurt now."
I looked up at her and she gave me a sweet smile. My eyes fell on Ai and she clicked her tongue and withdrew her blades. "Fine, you can spend an afternoon with him BUT I will be keeping an eye on the both of you. Am I clear?" Ai spoke and Ama cheered.
"It’s a date then," Ama said teasingly.
New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.
"No! It’s not a date!" Ai screamed in annoyance and honestly, she looked adorable doing that. I chuckled a little seeing this side of her again.
"I can finally have you for a long time now," Ama said and blew in my ear. "Kazuki-kun~"
God, you have let me down yet again.

Hey guys, the author here.
"Hello everyone, Shiba Kazuki here."
’Hi, Tsubaki Ai here.’
I just wanted to give a little message and thank all of you for all the support each one of you has given to me and this book. Thank you so much for liking this book and the characters that I wrote. Honestly, this book literally wasn’t anything the first time I ever started writing it but I am so happy with how this turned out to be.
"Yea, in the start Ai wasn’t even supposed to be a vampire. Looks like your weird obsession with those turned her this way."
’I mean, I don’t mind either way since my backstory would have been pretty much the same. I would still be living with Kazu-kun."
Well, that but his parents would die just in the first chapter. Anyways.
"I just wanted to thank all of you for just motivating this guy to write up to 100 chapters. A big milestone for the book along with 1.1 million reads. This is just amazing."
’I cannot be happier that our story has been read by so many amazing people out there and this little message is just for you guys. Thank you everyone for this, especially the ones who stayed this long to be reading this message. We all love you guys a lot."
"Yes, we do."
"Thanks a lot."
’Love you all.’
