Third POV:
After a few more hours...
Shou fell asleep against Zetsu.
"Zetsu you lucky bastard, " Hisami thought.
"Looks like he drank too much alcohol, I should probably get him home, " Zetsu said.
"Zetsu, don't you dare do anything to him, " Seina said.
"Hey, I'm not! You guys don't trust me that much."
Zetsu picked Shou up princess style.
"Good night, everyone, " He said.
He teleported to his home. He carried Shou upstairs and placed it in his bed. He took his shoes and cape off. He unbuttoned his shirt a bit as well.
"Hey, leave already, you pervert, " Cebris shouted.
"I know, I'm just making sure he's alright, " Zetsu said.
He turned Shou on his side just in case he was to vomit. He places his shoes on the floor and hung up his cape.
"Good night, Shou-chan, " Zetsu said before leaving and shutting the door behind him.
The next day...
Shou woke up. He rubbed his eyes and sat up slowly. He looked around after yawning.
"Zetsu-san must have brought me home," Shou thought.
"I haven't been that drunk in a while," Shou said as he smiled.
Shou stood up and he felt really happy.
"The guild members were so nice Cebris, also good morning, Cebris-san," Shou said as he smiled even more.
"Good morning, Shou-chan, you look excited, how are you feeling," Cebris asked.
"I'm feeling amazing, I guess I should head to the guild after helping make breakfast."
After getting himself ready...
He walked downstairs and smiled at Shizuna.
"Good morning, Shizuna."
"Good morning Master Shou."
Zetsu hugged Shou from behind.
"Shou-chan morning," Zetsu said while yawning.
Shou looked up at Zetsu.
"Z-Zetsu," Shou shouted.
Zetsu let go when he realized that he was hugging him.
"Sorry, I'm still a bit tired, I didn't mean to do that," Zetsu said while rubbing his eyes.
Shou smiled.
"It's alright, I'm pretty sure you didn't mean to hug me like that."
"Yeah."
"Damn my subconscious," Zetsu thought.
"HEY!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT, ZETSU!!!!", Cebris shouted.
"Nothing at all, god you are way too overprotective."
"Shou-chan, this guy is a pervert."
"I am not a pervert," Zetsu shouted.
Shou smiled and laughed.
"You guys are really funny in the morning. Shizuna-san, I'll help with serving breakfast."
"Thank you, Master Shou."
After Shou assisted Shizuna with breakfast, Shizuna served the food. She looked pretty sad.
"What's wrong, Shizuna?"
"Shou is good at cooking."
"Huh?"
"Shou-sensei is better than me. Even though I have been trained since I was able to walk, I was able to do housework better than everyone, but Shou-sensei's ability in the kitchen is too amazing."
"What do you mean?"
A flashback to about 40 minutes ago...
Shou was holding a knife. He had an onion, two green peppers, and two red peppers on the cutting board.
"No don't, Master Shou, don't worry I'll do...
In 3 seconds the onion was minced, along with the green and red peppers. Her eyes widened. Shou started on the rice and the eggs. Shizuna stood there shocked.
"So fast," Shizuna thought.
Present time...
"Shou's ability to cook is too much," Shizuna said while kneeling on the ground.
Shou felt confused.
"D-did I do something wrong," Shou asked.
"No, you're amazing, Shou-sensei," Shizuna shouted.
"Shou-sensei," Shou thought.
After eating breakfast...
"We should get going to the guild," Zetsu said.
They headed to the guild and when they walked in, they saw a line.
"Why is there a line," Shou asked.
"That's because all of the tiger guildsmen are getting their abilities tested, by Hisami," Zetsu said.
Suddenly Shou was hugged by someone.
"Ah my love," Zai said.
"You're that guy from yesterday," Shou said before looking annoyed.
"Ah your angry look, you're so beautiful," he said as grabbed Shou's chin.
Cebris shocked him, and he let go of Shou.
"Hey, you bastard, don't touch Shou, or I'll kill you," Cebris shouted.
"What the hell, your sword just spoke," Zai shouted.
"Yeah and it's very protective of Shou, as am I," Zetsu said with a fake smile.
Zetsu was trying to hide his murderous intent but wasn't able to.
"Jeez, I feel death creeping over me," Zai said as he looked at Zetsu.
"I've never hated a person before, but you've made me pissed off, I can't find a reason to like you at all. You don't understand how hard it is for me to hate someone, although if they have done what you did or worst, I don't know. It's something about you that makes me mad," Shou said.
"But you're so cute when your angry, it makes me want to make you angrier. "
"Shut up, I'm not cute when I'm angry."
Zetsu's mana was showing and it was a furious aura.
"Hey, leave Shou alone," Zetsu said.
"Zetsu-san," Shou thought.
"Hmmm, could it be that you are in love with Shou-chan," Zai asked with a smile?
Zetsu's eyes widened as he avoided eye contact.
"That's none of your business," Zetsu shouted.
"It is my business since I'm also in love with Shou-chan," Zai said while looking serious.
"THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL THAT I WOULD LET EITHER OF YOU HAVE THIS ANGEL," Cebris yelled.
"Cebris-san," Shou said.
Shou looked at Zetsu. Zetsu stared back and then he covered his face while averting his eyes once more.
"Zetsu-san?"
Shou blinked in confusion.
"Are you alright, Zetsu-san," Shou asked.
"I'm fine, don't worry," Zetsu said.
"Shou are you in love with Zetsu," Zai asked before being punched by Shou.
"I'm not in love with Zetsu, and there's no way he's in love with me. I'm not the type of person for someone like Zetsu to fall in love with. Zetsu probably prefers girls with beauty, rather than someone as ugly as me," Shou said while looking sad.
"Hey you're not ugly, you're really beautiful, you have a nice personality, and adorable, " Zetsu shouted.
"Beautiful and adorable? But I'm not, there's no reason to force yourself to be nice, " Shou said with a sad smile.
"Cebris, " Zetsu shouted.
"What is it?"
"What do you think about Shou-chan?"
"He's adorable and he has a good heart. I love seeing him smile, and hate seeing him angry or upset. I love him, " Cebris said.
"Cebris."
"You have to understand, Shou. You're very kind, and adorable. you might not see it that way, but I do. I'm in love with you," Zetsu said.
Shou's POV:
"Zetsu is in love with me," I thought as my eyes widened.
"What do you mean? Why are you in love with me? I don't understand what's so good that you love about me," I shouted.
"You remember when we first met, I thought you were beautiful the moment I saw you."
"Zetsu-san."
Zetsu then covered his face.
"Damn it, this feels so embarrassing," he said.
I smiled a bit.
"Zetsu-san, you're nice, I don't doubt your feelings for me, but I don't have much experience with relationships. The experience I do have ended very poorly. So right now, I would like to try to find real love, but I don't know just yet. After all, I've only been here for a week. So could you give me a bit more time to think about your sudden confession before finding an answer? I'm not good with romantic feelings or love because I don't understand them. I'm sorry."
"Don't worry, I wasn't expecting an immediate response, although I am happy that you didn't reject me."
Zai smiled.
"Then what about my confession," Zai shouted.
"No way in hell," I said coldly.
"Why are you willing to think about his confession, instead of mine?"
"Because he's a nice person."
"Eh, Shou-chan," Zai said while hugging me.
"Hey, let me go."
"Let him go, you idiot," Cebris and Zetsu said simultaneously.
Zai let go before he was about to be killed by Zetsu and Cebris. I got annoyed and sighed.
"I was in such a good mood this morning," I thought.
Suddenly I heard horses and there was a carriage outside the guild. Zetsu and I went to check it out. A man got out of the carriage. He had slick-back black hair and piercing golden eyes.
"He looks like, Kamiya-san," I said.
"That's his older brother, he's a nobleman that received all his father's inheritance," Zetsu whispered in my ear.
Kamiya came out and he saw him, he glared at him and then ran off.
"Go catch my idiot brother," he ordered one of the men with him.
"Yes, Master Shingo."
He looked at me after the man disappeared. He smirked as he stared at me.
"You must be the new guild member, Moriyama Shou-Kun, right?"
"Yes, but who are you?"
"I'm Nagamatsu Shingo, nice to meet you, Shou-Kun."
"Nice to meet you."
"Why are you here," Zetsu asked.
"I want to test his potential, there's someone I would like him to face, if he wins, the guild place will be upgraded by a huge margin, but if he should lose, he shall become my concubine."
"Concubine," Zetsu and I said.
I glared at him.
"Why should I accept something like that," I shouted.
"You wouldn't want to hold back the guild's potential with your own fears would you, in fact, even if you lose I'll upgrade the guild, but, you would still be mine. Your beautiful pale skin, your beautiful eyes, and your hair color, all of it would be mine," he said with a smile.
I felt a chill down his spine.
"What a creep," I thought.
"Who would I be fighting?"
A man stepped out of the carriage.
"That would be me," he said.
Zetsu's eyes widened.
"You asshole, the top swordsman in the royal guard, Kiriyama Jiyuu, you're trying to make this match unfair," he shouted.
I used my mana ability to measure his power.
"He's at the same amount as Seina, or maybe Hisami. No Hisami is way stronger than this guy," I thought.
"Fine, I'll fight you."
Kamiya was thrown to the ground after being tied up.
"My foolish little brother, how cute you are," Shingo said while lifting his chin.
"I'll kill you, you bastard," Kamiya shouted.
"Is that supposed to be the way you treat your loving older brother?"
"Shingo, I hate you," Kamiya shouted while looking really pissed off at him.
Someone got out of the carriage. He was a tall guy with brown hair and green eyes. He glared at Shingo.
"Shingo, you said you wouldn't do anything to him," he shouted.
"Haruki-san," Kamiya said while looking betrayed.
"Kamiya, I'm sorry, I...
"Kamiya, you will marry Haruki-san, even if I have to drag you back," Shingo said.
I felt my anger and patience burst.
"I can't marry my childhood friend, he's like an older brother to me, he's way better than you ever were to me. You can't force him to marry me or force me to marry him because he doesn't love me," Kamiya shouted.
"Haruki, if he escapes again, you two will be confined into a room with each other with no freedom, until you fall in love and seek a human companion," Shingo said with a smirk.
The ground cracked underneath me.
"This guy is really pissing me off," I mumbled.
"Let's do that battle today, if I win, you will upgrade the guild, and leave Kamiya alone. If I lose you can take away my freedom and do whatever you will," I said while being really pissed off.
"No, Shou-chan, you can't," Kamiya shouted.
"I already said it, Kamiya-san, this guy really pissed me off, even more than Zai ever did. Plus you're a part of the guild, and this guild is my new family, I don't like people trying to force someone to do something they don't want to do."
"Shou."
"Sounds great to me, let's go somewhere to fight."
"I'm coming too," Zetsu said.
"The more the merrier."
After going to a wide-open field, I took off my cape. My magic immediately began to surge. Jiyuu smiled as he began powering up his.
Third POV:
"Shou-chan," Kamiya thought.
"Shou looks really pissed off, I haven't seen him this pissed off before," Zetsu thought.
"Kamiya, I'm sorry," Haruki said.
"Shut up, you traitor," Kamiya mumbled.
"Kamiya-san, I love you."
"Huh," Kamiya thought.
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm sorry," Haruki said.
"Read, set, start," Shingo said.
Shou had blue flames around him and a large blue aura. Shou charged at him and Jiyuu was surprised by how fast Shou was. He barely blocked with his sword in time. Shou then got behind him and sliced the air, Jiyuu was sent flying.
"This guy is amazing, "Shingo thought while smiling as he watched Shou fight.
"Jiyuu might lose at this rate," Zetsu thought.
Jiyuu couldn't predict where Shou was attacking from. Shou kicked him and sent him flying, the ground cracked beneath Shou.
"What the hell," Jiyuu thought.
"Since we're not in the middle of the town or city, I don't have to hold back any more of my strength, it feels nice to let loose like this," Shou thought.
Jiyuu was barely defending against Shou.
"This guy is too much, I can't defend much longer against him. The strength behind his attacks, it's like he's some beast released from a cage," Jiyuu thought.
Jiyuu dropped his sword, he kneeled on the ground.
"I surrender," he shouted while looking disappointed with himself.
Jiyuu was also feeling fear from the monstrous aura Shou was letting off.
"You surrender?"
"Yeah, please stop," Jiyuu shouted.
"What am I doing? I've gone too far," Shou thought.
"You won, so I'll abide by the rules, you're very strong you know," Shingo said with a smile.
Zetsu saw Shou look really sad.
"Shou," Zetsu shouted.
Zetsu hugged Shou.
"What's wrong?"
"I went too far. It's like I loved to let my power run rampant. It scares me to think that I had enjoyed that," he said.
"Shou, " he said as he hugged him tighter.
Kamiya was untied and released by one of the men. He started at Haruki.
"What do you mean, you love me, you traitor, " Kamiya asked.
Haruhi walked over to Kamiya and grabbed his waist.
"I love you, " he said before kissing him.
Kamiya was shocked, he tried to push him away. Haruki stopped and Kamiya's face was red.
"What do you think you're doing you, idiot, " Kamiya shouted while punching him and crying.
"Kamiya, you can punch me all you want, but that won't change the way I feel toward you."
