"I see. But Mea, is it just me or are you happy that our plan failed? From the start you weren't even optimistic about the plan your master made."
A woman's voice was heard from a cat that was sitting lazily on top of an open window.
Under the light of the afternoon sun, its black fur seemed to absorb the light and its golden eyes radiated an intelligence unlike any animal.
It was no ordinary cat of course. After all, which cat could talk like a human? If it wasn't a Nekoshou like Kuroka who could also turn into a cat, the other cats wouldn't be able to do it.
She was Nemesis.
Instead of looking like a loli, she is now in cat form. As a Transforming Weapon, she could change her appearance into any person or animal.
Hearing her newly returned student report their failed mission with excitement, Nemesis began to doubt whose side the girl was on.
"Hmm... This feeling, yes. For some reason, I'm happy, Master." Mea said honestly to her master despite the confused look on her face.
"How can a weapon be happy? You have become weak like your older sister, Mea."
Nemesis sighed.
However, she was not angry at all. She didn't even feel upset or disappointed that the Azenda she had summoned to earth had failed.
Four days ago.
She had asked Mea to go to the Talha Galaxy to deliver her message to that woman. Nemesis knew Azenda had a grudge against Yami and happened to be looking for her.
So, she told her where Yami was and hoped she could borrow her hand to change Yami to her old self.
Azenda is not an easy person to control, she bluntly says she will kill Yami.
Mea calls her a nasty person.
However, Nemesis told the girl to leave her alone. After all, she knew there was no way Azenda could kill Yami. All she wanted from that woman was to corner Yami so that she would awaken her fighting instincts as the Golden Darkness.
She was just using that woman.
In short, Azenda was just a tool.
Whether she failed or even died, Nemesis didn't care.
"Don't get sidetracked, you and Yami are just weapons, with no function in life. Do you understand?" She asked the girl holding a carton of milk, a human-made beverage product.
Lately she often saw Mea consuming food and drinks on Earth. She wanted to stop the girl from getting addicted because she was a weapon, but she herself had to admit that the food and drinks on Earth were delicious so she secretly consumed them often.
Nemesis decided to tolerate Mea a little in this regard.
"I understand, Master."
Mea replied with an expression that seemed to enjoy what she was drinking, not like a weapon at all.
Did that girl really understand what her Master was saying?
Nemesis complained in her heart.
"By the way how did Azenda fail? Did Yami kill her after her fighting instinct was triggered? If so, our mission didn't completely fail..."
"No, Master. Yami Onee-chan didn't even fight at all."
"Huh? Then, what happened?"
She was curious.
If Azenda wasn't killed by Yami so she failed her mission.
Was she killed by someone else?
Nemesis knew the earth had many powerful beings who secretly hid and mingled with humans.
In fact it wasn't just her, Mea and Yami who liked to pretend to be ordinary humans but had enough power to kill many people.
There were various supernatural races that formed their respective factions. This was one of the reasons why she was trying to keep a low profile and had yet to make a move to take Yami by force with her own power.
Nemesis was not so arrogant to think she could defeat all those creatures.
"That's Eiji-senpai. When Azenda wanted to mind control a girl named Mikan who seemed to have a good relationship with Yami Onee-chan, he suddenly appeared and easily killed Azenda."
"Eiji? That boy again..."
Hearing the boy's name mentioned by Mea, how could she forget or not know?
Every night, Nemesis even often replayed her memories of the things Eiji and Mikado did in the school health room.
Although her body was made of dark matter, in any form, she had the physiology of a woman.
She felt her body heat up whenever she recalled Eiji's thick and long sword going in and out of Mikado's hole.
She didn't show it in front of Mea, but she was actually horny and curious how it would feel if Eiji impaled her using his biological sword. Of course, she would change into her female form at that time and would adjust her appearance to make the boy even more excited.
'Tsk! Stop, why am I even thinking of seducing that boy with my body? This is wrong.'
Still, Nemesis suddenly had an idea.
Not only would she get Yami, she could also satisfy her mating instinct.
"Ahem!"
Suddenly coughing, it was a bit strange to see a cat coughing with one paw covering its mouth, Mea wondered why today her master had even become a cat?
Yesterday she became a crow, two days ago she was a hamster, three days ago she decided to become a pigeon and the other day— she usually turned into a loli.
There are people on earth who like to wear costumes to pretend to be other characters or creatures. If I'm not mistaken, it's called cosplay.
Could it be that the master liked to cosplay?
Mea was a little envious of that woman's ability. Although she was also a Transforming Weapon, she did not have the same unique abilities as her master.
Mea knew that because from the beginning she and her master were created by different scientists. And unlike her master's body which was composed of dark matter, she and Yami were composed of nanomachines created by Tearju.
Both had their own advantages and disadvantages of course. But according to Mea, her master's unique abilities were a lot of fun.
"Mea."
"Yes, Master."
"I have a new mission for you. This time it's not about Yami, but Eiji."
"...."
Mea blinked her eyes a few times.
"Where's your answer?"
"W-What should I do?"
She was curious, but if her master wanted her to kill Eiji because he got in the way of their plan.
I'm afraid that's impossible.
Putting aside the previous battle where Eiji could easily defeat Azenda. In the past, Eiji could even stun her and make her faint.
But as someone who could hear Eiji's inner voice all this time. Mea knew that boy's power was even more terrifying than Yami in the past.
In short, even if she was willing to kill Eiji, she was unable to do so because of the huge power difference between them.
Her master didn't even know Eiji already knew who the person who summoned Azenda to Earth was— it was the two of them. She could not tell the woman about this because the rules of the inner voice prevented her.
As if knowing what Mea was thinking about the difference in power levels, Nemesis showed a sly smile in her cat form.
"Don't worry, I didn't tell you to kill Eiji. I know you are no match for him. Mea, this mission is easy because you go to the same school as him..."
"I want you to ask that boy about his type of woman."
Mea: "???"
...
Meanwhile.
Eiji had no idea a beautiful master and her cute disciple had plans for him.
Even if he knew, he would gladly wait for the two women to knock on his door.
At that moment... Heh.
[.....]
Miss System refrained from commenting only because she knew at this moment her host was reluctant to let Yami and Mikan go home.
More precisely after Eiji took the initiative to take Yami to buy Taiyaki and Mikan who wanted to buy dinner ingredients to the convenience store.
Although the two girls initially refused to bother him. However, who made Eiji a shameless person?
He made excuses like: "Who knows that the person who called Azenda also called another assassin? I'm worried, so let me escort you guys."
It was a reasonable and very cautious reason.
But...
Yami and Mikan doubted this because from Eiji's inner voice, they didn't hear anyone other than Azenda who would attack them.
Eiji probably just wanted to join them and shorten the distance between them, bah!
Even so, for their own reasons that they did not reveal because they were too embarrassed, they did not refuse.
"My house is at the end of the alley. Eiji-san, thank you for today. You just drop me off here and I can do the rest by myself. You can take Yami-chan home soon."
Good girl, Mikan politely bowed and thanked with a plastic bag of groceries in her hand.
On the street of a certain housing complex, the sun was almost setting. In fact Mikan was worried if Eiji drove her all the way to the front of her house. That boy and her older brother, Rito who was probably worried about why she was just coming home would meet.
Mikan knew that even though Eiji was no longer hostile to Rito and often called him his friend. Rito seemed to dislike Eiji and repeatedly told his younger sister to stay away from the boy.
He was no good, a bastard, a playboy. A man who rides many boats... You can't have anything to do with him, Mikan.
Mikan replayed Rito's words in her head. Of course, she didn't mean to believe and obey what he said.
After all, from Eiji's inner voice and what had just happened, she knew that boy was not as bad as what Rito had said.
He was also very handsome and they had exchanged contact lines on the way.
Mikan's cheeks had a blush, she was actually excited to exchange messages with Eiji later tonight.
As a junior high school girl, Mikan certainly craved romance like other girls her age. Especially when her father's job made her often read the shoujo manga in his workroom.
Secretly, she actually wanted to have a boyfriend and Eiji was...
[Sorry Rito, I know you don't like me. But I might become your brother-in-law in the future.]
"Is that so? Okay. Mikan, give my regards to Rito."
Eiji said kindly. But what he thought made Mikan even more embarrassed because it was too soon, right?
We just exchanged contact lines!
And you already seem to have an idea to marry me?
Mikan simply replied "Un." before walking quickly to her house with a very red face. So cute.
The girl certainly wasn't planning on passing on Eiji's greetings to Rito because she knew it would only cause trouble.
Now only Eiji and Yami remained.
"The sky is almost dark. Yami, let's-"
"I can go home alone."
Yami flatly said while hugging a brown paper bag filled with red bean paste flavored Taiyaki, she was already walking towards the direction of her house. However, Eiji didn't listen to what the girl said. He walked beside her and shamelessly grasped one of her hands.
Yami was dumbfounded, a blush immediately appeared on her expressionless face. She lowered her head and said, "Ecchi, let me go."
"My name is Eiji. And no, I'm worried about letting Yami go home alone. Tearju will also probably scold me if I let you go home alone."
"Tearju? You don't have to tell her... Wh-Who do you think I am? I'm strong enough to protect myself."
Although Yami said that from her mouth, she didn't try to let go of Eiji's big hand that was now wrapped around her tiny hand and continued to walk while holding hands.
And even though the girl's face was covered by her blonde bangs as she looked down slightly, Eiji could see the girl's ears turning red which meant she was blushing.
The corners of his lips lifted higher.
The girl was just a tsundere but her body was very honest like a kuudere.
"I know Yami is strong, she can actually defeat that evil woman without my help. Even if Mikan is successfully controlled and made a hostage, she can kill the person controlling her mind as long as she doesn't hold back. After all, she is the most famous assassin in the Galaxy— Golden Darkness."
"I..."
Yami didn't know what to say to Eiji knowing so much about her. He was so cunning, he knew her original work.
However, that was what made him understand her so well.
In this world, the only people who could understand her well were probably Tearju, Mikan and finally...
The pervert beside her, Eiji.
*Thump Thump*
Yami could hear and feel her rapid heartbeat. An unknown feeling was making her excited and overwhelmed that it was hard for her to stay calm.
Although many people in the past often called her a weapon that existed only to kill. The Nanomachine Tearju created was actually more than that.
Yami knew she could feel human-like emotions, but not many. That was in the past, but now or rather at this moment? She could feel it clearly and strongly.
An emotion that was actually called Love.
"I suddenly remembered something." Eiji said while holding his chin.
"...?"
Yami naturally peeked slightly at the boy's face. Under the street lights that were already shining because the sun was finally replaced by the moon.
She knew Eiji was very handsome, even according to her aesthetics. But now that she saw him again...
Dark hair, red eyes and a face like a work of art that no doubt would be favored by any woman.
Now Yami finally understood why many girls at school were often lustful when they saw him. Princess Lala, the other heroines and even Tearju were in love with him.
Right now, whether it was herself or her dark side, she had the urge to pounce on Eiji and do lewd things with him.
Normally she would try to brush off the lewd things in her mind, but now she was enjoying what she was thinking.
That's okay, right? After all, she was only thinking about it in her mind.
Yami was learning to accept her dark side.
Still, what did Eiji remember?
"Yami, you came to earth because someone told you to kill me. I'm your target, do you still want to kill me?"
"...!" Yami panicked, and didn't know when, but they were almost at her house. But putting that aside, she was suddenly worried that Eiji still held a grudge about what she did in the past.
She was the girl who had tried to kill him.
Yami suddenly stopped walking, Eiji looked at the girl in confusion. Of course, he didn't mean to remind Yami that he still held a grudge against her or anything like that.
In fact if it wasn't for her trying to kill him like he did to Rito in the original work. It would have been harder for him to make a girl like her fall in love with him.
Yami stopped looking down, she really looked at his face this time. Her expression reminded Eiji of a certain chapter in the original work.
Could it be that she was going to say...
Eiji was excited! Rito would have a new green hat after this, and the boy didn't need to thank him.
"Eiji Seiya... you're still my target."
"Oh." Eiji said with a wry smile and his inner voice was also heard.
[What? That's a disappointing answer. Yami apparently still considers me a target that must be killed.]
His inner voice sounded sad which made the heroines a little depressed.
However, they didn't know Eiji was pretending!
He was actually waiting for Yami's next words.
This acting really deserves an Oscar.
After hearing his inner voice, Yami smiled slightly. She disengaged her hand from Eiji's grasp and stood in front of her gate.
The beautiful blonde assassin placed one of her hands on her chest like a girl about to confess.
The moonlight and wind made her blonde hair shimmer and sway slightly to the side.
The scene was undoubtedly as beautiful as a romantic scene in an anime.
Yami shyly said:
"Don't misunderstand. I mean, you are... You are the target of my love!"
"!!!"
Eiji was shocked, although he wanted to pretend, his expression was natural and not made up because he was completely blown away by Yami's confession.
I mean what man wouldn't be moved if they were in his position?
I couldn't even help but smile.
He feels like a romcom protagonist now!
However, before he could say anything. Yami added before she fled into her house.
"T-That's all. I just want you to be prepared from now on."
*Bang!*
Yami opened and closed her door violently.
She used all her courage to say all that. And after that, she left him alone in front of her house.
The scene was rather sad but many boys at Kuoh Academy would envy Eiji because Yami had also fallen into his hands!
"Good night."
Eiji said with a sigh.
[At least before going inside the house. Can Yami give me a kiss or maybe invite me to stay in her house?]
Inside the house, or rather the bedroom that was simple and didn't have much furniture.
The style was really similar to Mea's.
Yami was now rolling around on her bed with a face that was still flushed from the previous confession.
She... She felt so ashamed!
And hearing the inner voice of her love target, Eiji. She couldn't help but complain.
"Shameless! Ecchi! Perverted man. But I also feel very perverted..."
Yami suddenly imagined what it would be like if she kissed Eiji and invited him to stay at her house.
Then, they would do lewd things like he did to Tearju and the other women.
As those lewd scenes flashed through her mind, Yami felt her body heat up. The lower part of her body itched as if she wanted to be entered by something.
That something must be Eiji's sword.
