Ivy suddenly jolted up from Ruby's lap. She was covered in sweat before she slowly calmed down. Ruby noticed Ivy's state, but before she could ask, Ivy's neutral demeanor was back. She had questioning eyes before she poking Ivy's nape.
In an instant, Ivy almost slammed her elbow into Ruby's face before realizing how close she was to hurting Ruby. Confirming her suspicions, Ruby asking Ivy, "You have a bad dream? Not uncommon, but this one seems to affect a bit more than usual."
Ivy sighed before leaning back on Ruby's lap, she couldn't get the image of that girl out of her head. It was even worse since that girl was actually inside of her. Ivy sensed Ruby's concerns, but dismissed them and curled up a bit.
Ivy was acting weird. Ruby could tell since when Ivy accidentally bumped into that woman before, she suddenly passed out on the ground a few seconds from the incident. Not only that but during her sleep, Ivy was making some sensual moans, which made Ruby a bit uncomfortable. Neo had to excuse herself to find a concession stand to grab a bite.
Hearing footsteps, Ruby looked up to see Neo holding out a tataki plastic bowl. She smiled and accepted it, slowly taking in every bite for the time being.
Neo sat beside Ruby and traced her finger against Ivy's spine. She already knew that Ivy was awake, but that wasn't what she wanted to know. Feeling a bit of a different texture around Ivy's abdomen area in her back, Neo pulled Ivy up and lifted her shirt.
The two girls were surprised by the demon marking on Ivy's abdomen. It wasn't common for people to have demon marking on their body unless they were either possessed or had any relationships with one.
Ivy looked away with a slight embarrassment on her cheeks. She didn't think that Yuki would have done anything, but she did against all expectations. Ivy didn't even want to look at the marking, but when Ruby touched the marking, Ivy couldn't help but let out a bit of a moan.
Both Neo and Ruby flinched before Neo let go of Ivy's shirt. Both of them were about to apologize when they felt a bearing pressure on their soul. When they looked up, it seemed as if Ivy was about to devour them like snacks.
--------------------------------------------------
Once Ivy stopped her rampage, the three looked around the side of the academy they haven't explored. Most of it was a couple of classrooms and dormitories. Neo asked about why there weren't a male and female dormitories. Ruby replied, "Because we know that the people who live here aren't here to take advantage of the girls but to train together and hone their skills together. Besides, if someone was dumb enough to do ay sexually things without consent, they would be expelled. Plus, the girls here are usually strong."
Ivy looked around, simply because she was interested in this academy. And considering that she would be attending to this academy either way, for Ruby's secret club of whatever. Ivy sighed before looking at Ruby and Neo. She didn't know what happened on their morning walk, but something definitely changed between the two. She just couldn't understand what that was. It was such a sudden weird change that made Ivy wonder if she was still in that dreamland.
Neo looked over her shoulder to see Ivy staring at her with confusion. She tilted her head like Ivy does whenever she was confused. Ivy shook her head as she stared away into space. Neo did wonder what was up with Ivy, she especially wanted to know how Ivy got that demon mark.
Ruby noticed Ivy's look before whispering into Neo's ears, "Do you think she is curious about us?"
Neo nodded her head since it would be the only explanation as to why Ivy is perplexed. Though she didn't really know how to explain it since they just restarted. Then again, since Neo has been with Ivy for the longest, she understood why Ivy was confused. Ivy isn't sensible in the sense of the basics of humanity and their "rules." She would often do something like getting naked in front of people or not understanding what certain things were. Ivy is an oddity.
Sighing, Neo dismissed explaining it to Ivy. She knew Ivy would understand whether or not she told her. Besides, Ivy is smart. She may not be socially good at explaining her smarts, but she can figure out the best solution in the brain of hers.
Ruby stopped as she looked around before saying, "Maybe we should eat dinner at a restaurant? I heard there a few good ones from Scarlet."
"Scarlet?" Neo asked.
Instead of Ruby explaining, Ivy decided to jump in, "A friend of Ruby. I think she works here, right?"
Ruby nodded before getting excited. She has never been to the restaurants near the academy. Most of them seem to have such an appealing look. Even the food made her stomach growl a few times. Ruby smiled before hearing her name called. She looked behind Ivy as she watched two familiar figures come up.
"HeadMaster! Hey, how you doing?" said one of the figures. Ruby immediately knew who it was as it was Leviathan or Levy as she prefers to be called. She had a black sleeveless blouse along with a skirt that matched along with some white stockings. Levy also had hair that was black with the ends slowly into dark purple before turning navy blue, undoubtedly had to be dyed.
Ruby rushed over to give Levy a hug while seeing the busted chest girl again. This time, Ruby had a bit of trouble remembering who the girl was.
"Aww. HeadMaster doesn't remember me. Fufufu~," the blonde girl laughed before introducing herself. "My name is Akagi. I'm one of the supervisors for the entrance exam."
Hearing the woman's name, Ruby immediately apologized because of her forgetfulness. Akagi laughed in a bell-like manner giving Ruby a hug, her face stuck between Akagi's breasts.
Ivy stared at Akagi since she seemed like the same woman she bumped into earlier. Noticing a gaze on her, Akagi let go of the purple-headed Ruby and stared back at Ivy before cheerfully smiling at her.
Akagi walked up to Ivy before eyeing her attire, and so did Ivy. Akagi was wearing her casual attire consists of a pink midriff-baring shoulder-less crop top with hot denim pants that appears to be a purple thong pulled up to be partially visible across her hips above her shorts and purple heeled shoes. She wasn't immune to Ivy's beautiful outfit, considering it exposed more of her body. Akagi lunged at Ivy to give her a big hug only for Ivy to suddenly dodge, however, instead of hitting the hard concrete ground. Ivy held Akagi by her shirt.
Akagi pouted and pointed at Ivy while staring at Levy, "Levy!!! She being such a bully! I just wanted to stuff her face in my breasts again!"
Levy chuckled before grabbing Akagi and hugging her. Though her breast size a smaller than Akagi's, apparently she enjoyed them a lot. Ivy stared at Levy before shrugging and walked over to her.
Seeing that Neo was the only one left out, she didn't want to miss all the action. Neo hugged Ivy from before as Ruby laughed a bit.
"So what are you girls doing here?" Ruby asked as she looked at Levy carrying Akagi on her back. She found the two adorable girls perfect for each other.
"We wanted to give HeadMaster a treat! The academy is almost opening soon!" Levy said as she nodded her head. Akagi smiled and hugged Levy a bit tighter than expected.
Ruby felt her heart touched by the two girls as she said their current plans. She and the two girls started to walk away as if it was the most natural thing to do. Ivy and Neo looked at each other before following the girls.
Ivy's instincts alarmed the moment she moved as she turned her head around. Ivy looked around before couldn't detect or smell anything suspicious. When Neo asked what was wrong, Ivy dismissed it with a wave as the two moved on. Neo did, however, looked over her shoulder and made sure nothing was following them.
("Oh, by the way, dear Ivy! I wanted to tell you something!") Yuki's voice said in Ivy's head. She was apparently the demon inside of Ivy, who was forced inside of her body. ("That Akagi and Levy girls are super cute! I wonder if you should make a harem of them~.")
Ivy shook her head as she ignored Yuki's words. She didn't understand Yuki at all. She's a demon, Ivy's a catgirl, and somehow they can have a functioning body. In all the research that Ivy has done, not a single page or text said anything about being able to survive a demon being inside a human body. It would literally explode the human body, and both sides didn't benefit from it. So what was the exception to her?
