Monday morning, a day has passed after Siegfried's first formal tutoring session with his client, Yue Takahashi, and establishing official contact.
In the morning as Yue is walking toward her school, she had a bothered and worried look on her face. She wasn't her usual fiery and cheery self, but a neutral and contemplative expression is shown on the young lass. Then she heard a familiar and enthusiastic voice, "Yue-chin! Gooood Morninggg!" and felt a weight and an arm wrapped around the back of her neck, and she weakly said, "O-Oh, Akari-chin... Mornin'..." And Akari Takeda's cheery look melted into a mixed look of unsureness and confusion, "Whoa, Yue-chin... What's wrong? Like somethin' bothering you? Did somethin' happen? Usually, you ain't this serious-looking." And Akari continued, "Something's bothering you, isn't there?" and Yue just weakly shrugged and didn't say anything.
"Dude, I've like said this before and I'll say it again: I've known you since we were in grade school, so I know something is bothering you." And Yue sighed and softly said, "I hate that you're right, Akari-chin. But yeah, you're right there is something that's bothering me. It's just... There are just too many things on my mind right now. I hate to ask, but can you leave me alone for now?" Akari protested, "But!" and Yue looked into Akari's eyes and pleaded, "Please?" eventually she reluctantly agreed, "Ok... But Yue-chin?" Yue glanced at her friend, and Akari told her, "If there's anything I can do, even just listen. I'm here, ok?" Yue's bothered and worried expression somewhat lifted and gave her best friend a warm and wide smile, "Hehe, thanks, Akari-chin."
Then at lunchtime, the school's bell rang to indicate the time, Yue is on the rooftop of her school's main building, as she lies down staring at the clouds. "Damn it..." she weakly cursed, "I did not sign up for this shit." And she heard a voice, "Didn't sign up for what?" then a familiar upside-down face appeared in her field of vision, smiling teasingly, "Oh, Akari-chin." "Yeah, yeah, like I know you said to leave you alone, but I just can't." and added, "You know, I really don't like this side of you. Even the rest of our classmates seemed concerned as you're not being your usual self." And had an annoyed look at herself, "Is it that obvious?" and Akari nodded slowly, "Yep... like an open book, Yue-chin, like an open book." And she teasingly laughed, as Yue breathed an exasperated sigh, "Damn it." And she rose her body into a sitting position and crossed her legs, and so did Akari as she sat down next to her, "Akari-chin..." Yue doubtfully said, "Promise me you won't tell the others." And Akari made a gesture of a zipping across her lips and crossed her heart, and that gesture alone assured Yue, "We know each other's secrets, my guy what's wrong with this one?"
And after telling her the entire situation on what happened these past few days, Akari's reaction was just: "Holy shit." And was left stunned and speechless, "Part of me wants to believe you're joking. But your face tells me otherwise." And Akari took a deep breath and tries to process the information Yue told her, "Good God... This is some anime-level drama right here. This is... this is like ridiculous! So you're telling me, your missing deadbeat dad is actually a billionaire!?" Akari rubbed the side of her temples as she couldn't comprehend nor believe Yue's situation.
"And your billionaire deadbeat father wants to meet you next week...?" And Yue laughed sardonically and placed her hands to her face, "Hahaha... That's what I said to myself too... Hey, Akari-chin... What am I supposed to do?"
Yue pleaded to her, and Akari held her hands to her chest level and said, "C-Calm down, Yue-chin. L-Let's think this through, yeah?" Yue added, "I'm so torn. Part of me wants to meet him since I've always wanted to have a father. Yet the other part of me doesn't and is pissed at him for leaving me and my mom alone for so many years!"
and Yue curled her legs up and placed her forehead on her knees, Akari comforted Yue, "It's ok, Yue-chin. Even I don't know what I want if I was presented with this kind of situation to me. Though I feel bad that I'm completely useless at these sorts of things..." And after a few minutes of silence, Akari gave up by saying, "Yeah, no, I got nothing Yue-chin. I'm sorry." And Yue sighed, "It's ok, Akari-chin, at least you tried." And Akari had a look of genuine concern, "So, what're you gonna do now? Did you even accept that you want to meet him later? Mutual consent and agreement are important y'know?"
And Yue shrugged and scoffed at that thought, "He's rich, he probably doesn't give a single shit about consent and agreement." Yue ranted, "Just because he's rich doesn't mean he can do whatever the fuck he wants! That asshole! And, and, he's making my mom so stressed out by his advances, and the abrupt visits of those minions of his! To the point that she's losing sleep from worry!"
And Yue has had enough, and her worried and frustrated look now turned into resolute anger, "You asked me what am I gonna do. Well, the first thing I'm gonna do when I meet him is that I'm gonna kick him in the balls for screwing with me and my mom!" and she continued, "We were fine without him, and we still are! We don't need his stinking money!" Yue defiantly declared and Akari had a smile and laughed in confidence, "Heh, now that's the Yue-chin I know!" And Yue turned to Akari, "Akari-chin." And she responded, "Yeah? What is it?" and she smiled widely and confidently, "Thanks!" and she held her chest, "Just by talking about it, this heavyweight on my chest feels like it's gone and been lifted away!" and Akari just smiled warmly, "Hehe, anytime, Yue-chin." And for a brief second, she stared at Yue's chest with envy and teasingly remarked: "Weight off of your chest, eh? You sure it isn't from your huge tits?"
Yue's face had a blank expression for a few solid seconds trying to process what she just said then blushed furiously and turned bright red. "Wha—!? A-Akari-chin!?" and Yue and Akari laughed hysterically.
"Ah, I just remembered something!" and Akari tilted her head, "Hm? About what?" then Yue told her what happened yesterday, "You know why I had to go home earlier on Friday?" "Yeah, I was like wondering about that. What was up with that?"
Akari asked and Yue spilled the beans, "Well I had business to take care of, cuz my mom hired a tutor for me!"
And a look of realization filled Akari's face, "Woah! That explains plenty actually. Maybe your grades will finally go up!" celebrated Akari as a relief-filled expression slapped on her face, "Oi, whaddya mean by that!?" Yue angrily said at her best friend's remark, "Well that's good for you, Yue-chin." Akari nodded in satisfaction, "Don't ignore me!" Yue yelled in annoyance.
"So, is he a creepy middle-aged dude?" Yue shook her head, "Nope, quite the opposite actually." And told her the identity of her tutor.
"No fucking way..." she said in disbelief, "Nah, nah, nah! Nah sis, you're like bullshitting me right now. That's like WAYYY too much of a coincidence!" and Yue hid her face with her hands from embarrassment, "I know, right!? I couldn't believe it either. But, it's the truth!"
And Akari scoffed at the thought, "So yeah, a Gaijin you met on your morning run a few days ago became your tutor. Why not, right?"
And Yue laughed sardonically and sarcastically, "Haha... Yeah. I know and again it's the truth!"
The scene changed and the hour that Yue usually looks forward to has arrived, the time for Club Practices. With her and Akari chatting about different things earlier at lunchtime it managed to keep her mind out of things. She and Akari parted ways earlier, as they agreed to go shopping together on Wednesday. Then on her school's track field, she was greeted by the other members of the Track-and-Field Club, "Ah! Takahashi-san! You're right on time! We were just about to start our practices." And Yue was wearing her school's designated track-and-field uniform: a mixture of a black-and-red tank-style top, tight-fitting polyester compression shorts or spats, and her usual running shoes. But due to her considerable chest size, her top ends just above her navel exposing her toned abs. And Yue was stretching her arms and her usual fiery expression returned, "Oh yeah! I'm totally ready for this, Senpai!" And felt her top a bit too tight for her liking as she groped her own breasts and complained, "Damn it, I literally just got this uniform last year and already it feels tight around my chest..."
Then her senpai, the girl from earlier chuckled, "Well it can't be helped, Takahashi-san. Puberty hit you like a freight train, you're lucky that you've been blessed with a body like that, y'know?" and they heard clapping as their female coach used it as a mean to gain their attention, once they did, she gestured the girls to gather around, "All right, all right! Girls gather 'round." And she continued, "As you all know at the end of this month will our midterms start, so we, the faculty, want our students to focus on their studies for the upcoming midterm exams, any questions?" And Yue raised her hand, "Takahashi-san?" and Yue asked, "Sensei, are we resuming practices after midterms?" she nodded in agreement, "Ok, good question. And yes, we'll be resuming the school's club activities after it. Anything else?" and the girls shook their heads, and said in unison, "No coach!" and the coach smiled in approval and clapped her hands loudly, "Alright, let's begin!"
Then the scene shifted to the club members running, as the scratching of soil was heard in each footstep, the panting of breaths, the cheering of the others at the sidelines, things were heating up. The type of race they are doing is a relay race, as each runner was positioned ahead and can only run as or after giving the baton to their teammate behind them. And now it was the last leg of the relay, on the last to run was Yue and her senpai, the girl from earlier. As the baton runners were closing in, Yue glanced to the right where her senpai is, (This is it, this is my chance to finally beat Kasumi-Senpai. Alright... Let's do this!) and the baton was given to her, and both Yue and her senpai ran as fast as they could as they were both neck and neck in their race to the finish line but Yue felt strength surging through her body and broke the tie and overtook her opponent and finished first place, and the rest of her teammates rushed over to her in sheer excitement, "You did! Takahashi-san you actually did it! You beat Kasumi-Senpai!" cried by one of her teammates, and Yue was panting heavily and was processing on what just happened, (What the hell... was that? That sudden burst of strength... That's right, this isn't the first time it happened. Last year it occurred as well, and the earliest I could remember was in middle school...) as she and her opponent caught their breath, Yue scratched at the back of her head in embarrassment, "O-Oh, it was a fluke is all." And laughed nervously as she modestly stated the fact that she defeated her senpai in practice, her senpai came over and remarked to her, "That's amazing Takahashi-San. Well played, you beat me fair and square." She extended out her hand for a fist bump, and smiled widely, "Keep it up, and we just might win this year's nationals!" Then Yue snapped out of it and lightly tapped her senpai's fist bump with her own and smiled widely, "O-Oh, y-yeah!"
Then, as the sun was setting Yue was walking home from school and her practice, despite winning over her opponent and seizing first place she couldn't help but think: "I should've lost that race... Kasumi-Senpai is the superior runner. But that burst of strength. My body felt like it was on fire..."
Then in a dark alleyway, about a block away from the Takahashi Residence lies two suspicious figures talking to one another, both of them wore cheap and sleazy suits and leather shoes, "Ya sure this is the place?" says one of the figures, and the other one grunted in approval, "Yep, this is the place according to the mysterious tip. The boss says to kidnap the Takahashi girl." And the first one remarked, "Oh? Kidnap her? Then what, demand for a ransom from that old man?"
And the other one snickered maliciously, "Heh! Ain't he the 4th Richest Man in the World? Surely he could spare some loose change of his!" and the one agreed, "Well, he ain't gotta single choice, 'sides according to the Boss this Takahashi chick is supposed to be his heiress." And the first one pulled up a picture of Yue on his phone, it was a completely different picture from a completely different angle, and the two men drooled over her, "Ain't she a 2nd-year High Schooler?" and the 2nd one laughed maliciously, "Who cares! With a body that hot, no one would bat an eye if she goes to the red-light district!" and as they were laughing he looked beside him and saw a horrific sight, his smile melted into a look of fear and horror as his friend, or rather what was left of him, as his head was crushed onto the wall of a building, his skull completely caved in and blood ran down in a steady red stream.
With that sight alone, it caused his phone to drop, and with the picture of Yue disappeared as the phone cracked and his legs froze causing him to fall on his ass in the grimy alleyway, and turned tail and ran with absolute horror and didn't dare on looking back. And as he was running his face full of horror and confusion chanted, "W-What the fuck!? What the fuck!? WHAT THE FUCK!?" and at the end of the alleyway is the exit itself, the light outside of the tunnel and he ran full speed into it but felt something was dragging him back, a force rather than a limb is pulling him back into the alleyway, "N-NO! ANYONE! P-PLEASE H-HELP ME!!!" he shrieked in horror, then deep inside of the alley he was slammed onto the side of the concrete of the building breaking a couple of his bones while leaving a noticeable crack on the infrastructure, "None can hear your pleas... None can hear your screams..." A deep and garbled voice menacingly said, as he glanced to the opposite side of the exit and saw a menacing red orb of light glowing in the dim alley, then stepped forth a shadowy figure stepping outside of the dark, he wore a long black coat and covered its head with its hood, a disturbing black metallic mask that covered its face, a suitcase on its left hand and carried the corpse of his friend on the other as it's covered in blood but surprisingly it didn't leave a single stain on his coat nor its sleeve. "W-Who are you?!" the figure didn't say anything, but he slowly approached him and showed him a photo of a young girl with red hair.
As Yue's kidnapper-to-be panicked, immediately recognized her, "I... I-I didn't... I d-didn't know! P-Please, l-let me go!" try as he might he couldn't move as if he felt a force pushing him towards the wall, and the figure scoffed, and slowly it placed its hand on the top of his head.
And as he placed its hand, the figure read through his mind, scouring any information regarding Yue and his affiliates, and the whole process took less than a second, "Nothing..." and the figure looked at him in the eye, as the perpetrator saw two mismatched eye colors, one on the left is a menacing red-eye that lit a dim red light and the other a piercing cold grey eye, "No... No! NOOO!!!" and the scene panned up to the setting sky as his blood-curdling screams filled the alleyway as none could hear his cries.
As Yue was continuing walking home, she was on an empty street full of closed store shutters, without her knowing she passed by a group of males who are in or above college age that were blending into their environment, and as she passed by, one of them looked at each other in the eye and did a gesture by nodding up, to be alert and swayed his head towards Yue.
Then a few seconds passed and one of the males from earlier said, "Well, well, well... I've heard rumors of a red-haired chick who was fucking up members of my gang." And snickered maliciously, "Though I didn't expect said chick to be a complete hottie!" and chuckled maliciously, and Yue's instincts are on high alert as a guy presumed to be of college-age wearing a high-school Gakuran improperly, his hair buzzcut and bleached, and one of his ears full of piercings and a thin silver chain hung onto his nose. "Huh? The hell are you s'posed to be?" said in disgust by Yue, and while she was distracted the rest of his crew surrounded her and blocked her only chance of escape, "Y'know when one of my boys came to us all battered and bruised, I was expecting some kind of monster who beat all of them." And smiled maliciously and said, "The rest of my boys all busted out laughing when they said a girl beat them up!"
Yue looked around and saw eight guys in total they surrounded her and blocked all signs of an exit, she then dropped her bag, and yelled out, "Goddamn, this is pathetic as hell!" and cracked her neck and knuckles and readied her stance and grinned confidently, "Hah! Eight guys ganging up on a single girl!? Just cuz some of your juniors came crying home? Boohoo! Man, this is so pathetic I can't stop myself from laughing!" she said while chuckling at the last part of what she said.
As Yue bravely stifled a laugh at her opponents, the leader now ticked off just said: "Tsk. Get her." And one of them rushed towards her while the others formed an inescapable ring around them, expecting this the one who rushed Yue launched a right hook, and thanks to Yue's considerable experience in fighting she dodged the punch with room to spare and ducked underneath him and struck his stomach with a powerful blow with her right fist and followed up with a flurry of punches and ended it with a much powerful blow that sent him recoiling back. "What the hell are you doing?! Rush her! All of you!" Declared the leader, then one of them grabbed Yue by her wrist, "What the hell are you doing?!" and then another one, and held both of her shoulders until Yue was completely immobilized, "Good..." the leader of the gang chuckled maliciously, "Keep her still like that." and the leader loaded his fist and struck her stomach with full force, "Gah!" and again he struck, and again, for three times, and Yue amidst the pain smiled widely, confidently chuckled and just said: "Shit dude, you hit like a girl." And that pissed off the boss further, "Y'know, I hate to ruin a pretty face. But yours is an exception!" and held her face roughly and tightly and launched a powerful right hook to her left cheek, with that blow, it nearly knocked out Yue, and kicked her in her stomach repeatedly then she was promptly let go that caused her to walk around disoriented before collapsing face first, then everything was in slow motion in Yue's view, (Shit. Why is this happening to me? Am I? Gonna get... raped?) and fell face first, and the leader kicked her down relentlessly until his rage dissipated. In her deafened hearing she heard yelling, "W-What the—!? Who the hell are you!? Where did you come from!?"
Then she felt a hand bracing her left shoulder, it wasn't forceful with its grip but rather soft and gentle and rocked her awake, and in her hearing, she heard a deafened voice but she thought it was calling out to her, "Wake up! Wake up!" And her disoriented vision and deafened hearing eventually wore off and saw a masked man facing the gang leader, "W-Who...?"
Then the leader and his gang laughed boisterously and maliciously, "Who the hell is this bastard think he is? Just appearing out of nowhere!"
And the masked man spoke no words and stared at the gang boss with severe hate and bloodlust, then Yue's mysterious savior felt a tug on his coat, "I... I'm... I'm not out for the count yet!" and struggled to get up as she grunted and shook herself awake and spat out blood out of her mouth and readied her stance, and greeted the mysterious person with her confident yet bloodied smile.
"Man, I dunno who you are, and that sick-ass mask of yours is, but you're a sight for sore eyes! I got a lotta questions for you, but first: Let's deal with this pathetic excuse of a gang of incels who gets zero pussy!" And then round 2 began, it was a sight to see, a mysterious figure who towered over the rest fighting back-to-back with a Japanese teenage girl while being surrounded by a petty gang of no-good, good-for-nothing low lives who sought revenge for one of their hell-raising buddies, while Yue readied her stance and is on high-alert as adrenaline is rushing through her body and as for the figure, (Whoa, what the hell is this feeling...? I feel like I could take on the whole world right now!)
The figure just placed its hands in its pocket and looked down at the gang, and scoffed mockingly, "You bastard...!" growled the gang leader, "All right you fucks! Get them!" and rushed the duo, and Yue charged back at one of the gang members who targeted her and ducked underneath and launched a flurry of punches and took a cheap shot with a punch to his groin causing him to fall over in severe pain and finishing him off with a mean roundhouse kick knocking him out. As for Yue's ally, there were two who targeted it but it evaded by swerving to the left and at the same time sticking out his foot causing one of them to fall over and the other one had a steel tube about to swing at him but he evaded again and did a front-kick straight to his face with enough force to knock him out instantaneously, and as the fight raged on, Yue was able to fight against two small fries at once because earlier she was overwhelmed by their numbers, but now with this mysterious stranger at her side, she can now fight with confidence.
Then one by one the gang fell to the duo's wrath. The way they fought it's as if they had known each before, then the last one remained: The Gang Boss. Fear, worry, and confusion struck his face as he saw his lackeys were laid on the ground absolutely still, and Yue wiped her cheek with a smug and confident grin, and as the figure tried to advance toward him, it stopped as Yue held its arm and calmly said, "No. That son of a bitch is mine." And somehow the figure complied, "Okay."
The gang leader instantly ran and retreated to the alleyway but found himself at a dead-end, "Shit! Shit!" Yue never looked more menacing than before, "Man, all that talk and barking orders, and yet you're the first one to bail out to his friends!" she scoffed, "Heh! Some boss you are!" And now cornered and with nothing left to lose, his expression turned to anger as he pulled out a switchblade and ran towards Yue with the intention of stabbing her, "You BITCH!!!" Yue reacted too late and braced herself for the pain but after a second passed, nothing happened, then what she saw is that the figure halted the Gang Leader's attempted assault by gripping his hand with such strength and force it resulted in him dropping his knife, and turned towards Yue and gestured at him, and with all her might she launched a magnificent uppercut to his chin, practically sent him and a tooth out flying and knocking him out indefinitely.
And she breathed a sigh of relief, "Man, that was something. Glad that's over with..." The figure offered her a small white towel, "Hm? For me?" and the figure nodded, and began to wipe her bloodied and dirtied mouth and face.
And as she finished wiping her face she turned around to thank her mysterious ally, "H-Hey, uh, thanks—" but the figure disappeared, "...For the help...? W-What the...? He... He's gone."
After the whole thing was over, Yue was finally walking home and arrived, she pulled out a key, inserted it, turned, and went inside. "Finally! Home! Home sweet home!" and laid down her bag on a chair beside the couch and laid down on the couch as well. "Damn, I'm exhausted..." She rolled upside down facing the ceiling and touched her cheek and just noticed that the stinging pain is gone, she held her stomach then raised her uniform and saw not a single bruise.
"What the...?" In a panic, she rushed to where the nearest mirror, and what she saw shocked her, "No bruise... t-there's not a single bruise on my face nor my body!"
She then thought, "Well... Maybe that guy's punches didn't have too much of an effect...?" she then examined her body and noticed that she wasn't as tired as before, "Man, that's weird I could've sworn that my body felt like a ton of bricks earlier. But it's not, it's the opposite, I feel... light! Second Wind, maybe...?" then she remembered her savior, "But still... Who the hell was that guy? He was tall as fuck, and knew how to fight too." And added, "There was something familiar about him too..."
Then she heard her home's doorbell ring, and on her door, and with what happened earlier Yue couldn't help but feel wary as she approached the door she waited for an answer, then a familiar voice with a subtle accent said, "Takahashi-San?"
She eased up and breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door, there she greeted Siegfried with his usual neutral expression and wearing his grey jacket while carrying a suitcase as Siegfried bowed politely, "Good afternoon, Takahashi-San... I hope I'm not too late." Yue stuttered, "N-No, it's fine, I literally just came home." And a brief and awkward second passed before Yue realized, "O-Oh, the hell you waiting for? Come in, come in."
Yue led Siegfried into her living room and offered him to sit down, and Siegfried asked, "Are you the only one here?" She grunted in agreement, "Mm-hmm. Mom's still at work, but she'll probably arrive here either an hour from now or any minute now."
"But first things first, I gotta change my clothes first." Siegfried who was now sitting on her couch placed his suitcase on his lap while he waited awkwardly for her return, then his cellphone rang and it showed a familiar name, he picked it up, and said, "Speak." On the other side, it said: "Kruger? Are you there?" the voice is familiar, and bestial in tone, as the caller was none other than Lionel, and he replied, "Ah, Mr. Lionel..." as Siegfried's voice on Lionel's side was garbled, "Are you in Wildfire's home?"
He glanced to where Yue's room which is above the stairwell, "I am." Then Lionel paused for a second to gather his thoughts, "W-Well, we were planning on visiting the Takahashi Residence and finally making contact with the Mistress. Is the Mistress there?" And Siegfried grunted, "She is and she's safe." He grunted in approval, "Very well. The boss's men and I will be visiting soon." And disconnected.
Then he heard a voice, "Oh? Who're you talkin' to?" he looked up and saw Yue wearing a white spaghetti-strapped crop top that exposes her midriff and wearing black piping shorts that exposes way too much of her thighs, and emphasized her curvaceous bottom. And wore white thigh-high socks that emphasized the roundness of her thighs, he stared at Yue's attire for a split-second before answering, "No one. Just someone from work."
And he continued, "Now, let us beg—" and Yue interrupted him, "Hup-pup-pup! Hold on, before we start, I am starving! Wanna make me something for you?"
Siegfried was caught off guard at what she said, "Pardon...?" she smiled teasingly and smugly and giggled at his innocent reaction, "So you can get flustered after all." And he replied, "Y-Yes." And coughed, "Of course. I can..." and continued, "But Takahashi-san..." she tilted her head while doing a little dance, "I appreciate the gesture, but there's no need to make one for me."
She raised her eyebrow, "Ya sure? Come on, I'm the one who's offering after all. Besides, it'll be quick and I'll probably do this once." Siegfried sighed and relented, "...Very well. Do as you wish." And she celebrated, "Oh yeah! While I'm making the dish, you can wait in my room."
He nodded, "Understood." As he grabbed his stuff and went up to her room, she scoffed, "Pfft. 'Understood' guy's too damn formal." She put on her apron and checked what was on their fridge "Now, what to make, what to make?" and saw numerous raw ingredients, "Ah, a classic Omurice can't go wrong."
And went to work, and after a certain amount of time passed, it was ready. "Hoho, man! Not too shabby if I do say so myself!"
There in front of her lies two Omurice dishes cooked to perfection, one is drizzled normally in tomato ketchup and the other is spelled 'Siegfried' in Japanese Kanji, then she opened the door, "Oi! Siegfried-san, sorry for the wait, it's ready!" and what she saw inside shocked her, "Whoa, what the hell...?!" Her room is completely spotless. When she was changing her clothes earlier, her room was a complete mess and now it's clean and organized.
And sitting in the center of the room cross-legged was Siegfried who was reading one of her textbooks in history.
"M-My room..." Yue grumbled, and Siegfried kept quiet and feigned ignorance. She then placed the two Omurice on her study desk and scanned her room, "It's completely organized as well. I, uh, don't know what to say..." Siegfried asked without breaking contact from her textbook, "About what?"
His expression remained the same as ever, and Yue decided to think nothing of it, "N-Never mind..."
He noticed the Omurice, "Is that Omurice?" he asked as he tilted his head in question, and Yue nodded, "Y-Yeah! Come on, let's dig in. Then we can start." He nodded, "Okay."
Yue and Siegfried sat cross-legged near the small coffee table in the center of her room facing each other. There Siegfried was presented with Yue's homemade Omurice, and he grunted in approval and indifferently said, "It looks delicious, Takahashi-san. Thank you."
He clasped his hands and said, "And thank you for the food..." And got his spoon, sliced a piece of Omelet and fried rice then placed it in his mouth, the moment he placed it in his mouth and began to chew, she anxiously asked, "W-Well...?"
His eyes lit up and continued eating he grunted in satisfaction with each bite, and Yue felt relief that this foreigner liked her cooking, soon after they finished eating Siegfried silently remarked, (The egg outside was cooked sufficiently for structural integrity as the inside was gooey enough to be split apart and spread throughout the rice like a yellow avalanche of yolk, the seasoning was well-balanced as it wasn't too salty nor too full of umami, and what I liked of all was the fried rice, it was cooked to my desired doneness as the seasonings of it were quite flavorful.)
"Your dish... it's very delicious. Your dish is delicious Takahashi-san, so much so that I may ask for the recipe later after our session." Hearing what Siegfried said to her dish, inside, Yue felt a giddy sense of joy and accomplishment as she celebrated inside of her head, (HAHA! Yes! Hell yes! My cooking isn't terrible after all!)
Her face was slightly getting red as she waved her hand dismissively at his compliment, "Psh! It was nothin' really! And uh, um... w-well, I learned to cook because it was just me and my mom here. Every day I help her prep meals whenever she asks me to and before I knew it, I was already cooking the meals she would make for me."
And grinned widely with pride and embarrassment, and Siegfried closed his eyes and grunted, "I see..."
After eating Yue's homecooked meal, they finally commenced their second tutoring session. But little do they know that their peaceful session was soon disrupted due to the forces outside. As the revving engines were soon heard.

Subject: Reproduction of Non-Humans and Hybrids. (1/3)
"There are Non-Humans that have distinct features that are different from other species of Non-Humans. Some are scaly, some are feathered and some have horns, furs, fangs, fins, gills, hooves, paws, and other animalistic features. Thus the question is: Can Humans reproduce with other species?
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: It depends on the species.
In the Knights' Archive, there are recorded and even famous cases of Human-Monster unions that brought forth hybrids, the most famous example of this is one of the Knight's most legendary figures in the days of yore: Helga the Mountain Shaker.
Born from a human male and female 'Bullfighting' Minotaur, her descriptions from our records states: 'Her face is of that of humans, coarse, roughed yet beautiful. She possessed no hooves, unlike her mother but feet like that of her human father. She has horns on her head and a brown tail like that of a bull. Her skin was tanned by her numerous days out in the sun. Her strength rivaled that of 500 men, they say with each step she takes the mountains and earth shook beneath her feet later in life, after her days of fighting were done, she met a man and fell in love and bored a daughter together.'"
