After school, Matsuri walked behind Mitsuko while holding her bag
Shit...now my body is all heated up again. Damnit...
"Matsuri!" Two Okogis said
"What the hell?" Matsuri asked
What do these kids want?
"He? You changed your hair?" Yuzu asked
"Why pink?" Shai asked
"Shut up and talk. What do you need?" Matsuri asked as she looked at them
"Can you ask your girlfriend to tell those princesses to treat us better?" Yuzu asked
"Huh?" Matsuri asked
"What are they talking about?" Mitsuko asked
"Don't know..." Matsuri said
"It's just the princesses are being mean to us and we thought you could talk to them for us" Yuzu said
"Why? It's not my problem" Mitsuko said
"Don't worry your big sister will be here to help. Now where are those little shits?" Matsuri asked as she looked around
"They told us that we should wait for them but we decided to leave them" Yuzu said
"A-and I think they're mad" Shai said
"What makes you say that?" Yuzu asked
"Th-they're coming over here..." Shai said. Yuzu turned around and jumped seeing the dark aura that surrounded the Aihara princess
Wh-why does she look so scary!?
"Aaah! They're coming!" Shai said and hid behind Matsuri along with Yuzu
"What the fuck is wrong with you two? You know you can just hurt them right?" Matsuri asked
"Y-yeah but...they're scary" Shai said
"Hey...don't cling onto her" Mitsuko said sternly
"Relax Mitsuko. You don't have to be jealous" Matsuri said
But it is cute...
"Shai! What are you doing with her?" Himeko asked
"A-ah!" Shai said and trembled
"What's wrong? She is just scared and nervous" Matsuri said
"She shouldn't be with you though. I told her to wait for me" Himeko said
"Why are you mad? Jealous?" Matsuri asked as she smiled
"Wh-what? No I'm not" Himeko said as she blushed
"Then it shouldn't bother you to see her with me. Anyways I'll take care of them from here since school is over and they'll be heading home" Matsuri said as she wrapped her arms around them
"Sh-she belongs to me" Himeko said
"If she belongs to you then just start dating" Mitsuko said
"E-eh?" Himeko asked
"Wait...d-dating?" Shai asked
"You know go together and just love each other..." Mitsuko said
"Wh-why should we?" Shai asked
"I-I don't like her like that" Himeko said
"Okay. Come on. Let's go" Matsuri said as she walked away but Mitsuko grabbed her shirt
"And where do you think you're going?" Mitsuko asked
"J-just going to play with them" Matsuri said nervously
Shit...please don't...
"You're staying with me" Mitsuko said
"Yeah I know" Matsuri said and whimpered as her stomach growled
"Let's go somewhere to eat first" Mitsuko said
"Can we go too? We're hungry" Yuzu said
"No"
"Yes"
Mitsuko and Matsuri looked at each other then Matsuri grabbed her hand
"Come on Mitsuko. Don't be so mean" Matsuri said as she smiled at her. Mitsuko blushed deeply and nodded
"O-okay" Mitsuko said
"Can we go now? I'm starving" Yuzu said
"Be patient idiot" Matsuri said
"W-wait you're going with them?" Himeko asked
"What? Is that a problem?" Mitsuko asked as she turned to look at her
"W-well no but what will your father say about this?" Himeko asked
"I don't care what that old man says anymore. Let's get going" Mitsuko said as she walked away
"Can we get spicy curry?" Yuzu asked
"I love spicy curry!" Shai said
"What is that?" Matsuri asked
"You're going to love it" Yuzu said as she smiled and Mitsuko wrapped an arm around Matsuri
"M-mitsuko?" Matsuri asked
"Just stay close to me" Mitsuko said as she blushed a bit. Meanwhile the two other princesses were left behind
"Whatever..." Mei said as she left
"Eh? Meimei?" Himeko asked as she followed her
"What?" Mei asked
"Wh-why is she acting like that?" Himeko asked
"I don't care...that's her problem" Mei said
"B-but Mitsuko-senpai will get in trouble...won't she?" Himeko asked
"Why should we care? We're not her friends..." Mei said
"What should we do with the servants?" Himeko asked
"I'll deal with that Okogi later...but we have to be careful. It seems that they're using Mitsuko's servant as their guard since they're friends. Those two will go to her and tell on us like little tattletales" Mei said
And Mitsuko will do anything since she is really in love with that vampire...
"Hey Mei" Vix said as he approached her
"Hey Vix" Mei said
"Hm? Where did your servants go?" Sen asked
"They left..." Himeko said
I'll teach that girl a lesson for leaving me like that. Everyone does as I say. Why won't she just listen to me?
"Hey what's with the frown? Let's go get some sweets before you head back" Sen said as he smiled
"It's just that girl can't talk to me like that. Who does she think she is? Talking to me like that?" Himeko said and clenched her fists tightly
"Just let it go" Mei said
"But she shouldn't talk to me like that especially your servant. That girl has the nerve to call me by those stupid names. I've already given her and her family her reward and this is what I get in return? Unbelievable" Himeko said
"Maybe because you're being a little stupid brat" Nitski said
"E-eh? Wait it's you two vam-"
"Zip it little kid" Nitski said
"L-little kid!?" Himeko exclaimed
"Jeez you're so god damn loud and annoying" Nitski said as she took a bit of her food
This is so delicious! Human food is so tasty!
"Have you two kids seen Matsuri around?" Juhin asked
"Excuse me but who do you think you are? Calling them kids. Do you know who they are?" Vix asked
"Yeah they're princesses. So? Anyways have you two seen Matsuri?" Juhin asked
"She left with her princess to get something to eat. I don't know where though" Mei said
"Oh well thanks anyways. Let's go Juhin" Nitski said as she grabbed him and dragged him
"Careful bitch" Juhin said as he stumbled a bit. The princesses only watched them leave and Mei walked away
"Wait up Mei" Vix said and was followed by the Momokino princess and Sen. Mei only looked a bit down as she gripped her bag
Wh-what is this aching feeling inside? Am I...sad?

"Thank you so much Taniguchi-senpai" The two Okogis said before digging in
"You two were really starving" Matsri said
"Didn't they feed you?" Mitsuko asked
"No" Yuzu said
"Idiots..." Mitsuko mumbled
I don't get what's their problem...
"You seem nice with Matsuri since you like her but...uh...do those two always act like that?" Yuzu asked
"I don't know..." Mitsuko said
"What? But...you're friends right?" Yuzu asked
"I...I don't have any friends around here" Mitsuko said slightly nervous as she looked away
"Eh? But you're the future Queen. You should have many friends. You're so popular" Yuzu said
"They're not my friends...only Maruta is my real friend around here. People only see me as a tool...not a person. Like my father..." Mitsuko said
"A tool?" Shai asked
"They only like me just because I survived out in the woods alone but I kept telling them that Matsuri saved me. No one believed in my story...not even my own mother" Mitsuko said as she gritted her teeth but stopped feeling Matsuri's soft touch. Matsuri looked at her and smiled softly
"Th-then...we can be friends" Yuzu said
"Wh-what?" Mitsuko asked as she looked at her surprised
"We can be your friends since you invited us to eat and helped us with those other princesses" Yuzu said as she smiled
"U-uhm...I-I...uh..." Mitsuko mumbled and looked away
"Is she okay?" Shai asked
"Hehe Mitsuko really hasn't changed" Matsuri giggled
So cute...she is still shy
"Sh-shut up" Mitsuko mumbled
"What's wrong?" Yuzu asked
"When Mitsuko was little, she was extremely shy and timid to make new friends. It took a while for her to be around Nitski and Juhin. They wanted to be her friend but Mitsuko didn't really feel comfortable with them" Matsuri said
"Oh we're sorry if we made you uncomfortable but we can be friends right?" Yuzu asked. Mitsuko kept looking away and just nodded in reply
"Heh don't worry about her. She'll get used to you both in a week" Matsuri said
"Okay" Shai said
"Hey there's Harumin and your cousins" Yuzu said
"Huh? Harumin?" Matsuri asked as she turned around and her eyes met up with the hazel eyed girl
"Hey everyone" Harumin said and smiled
"H-harumi? What are you doing here?" Mitsuko asked
"I bumped into Matsuri's cousins and they asked me where you were" Harumin said
"Hey Matsuri. How was this school shit thing?" Nitski asked
"Boring" Matsuri said
"I know right? Just standing in the back and doing nothing is boring. Especially if I have to be with her..." Yuzu said
"B-but it wasn't so bad..." Shai said
"Heh seems like someone actually enjoys being a slave for the princess" Nitski giggled
"Shut the hell up Nitski" Juhin said
"Oooh what's that?" Nitski asked as she looked at the curry and licked her lips
"Nitski, you ate three bowls of noodles, at least seven different types of candies, and ten bags of different kinds of cookies" Juhin said
"Does your stomach not hurt?" Shai asked
"Nope. Not at all" Nitski said
"D-does human food taste good?" Matsuri asked
"It sure does" Nitski said
"It's really good" Juhin said. Matsuri looked down at the rice and noodles then looked away
"Try it. Trust me. It taste good" Mitsuko said as she held the spoon that had some rice. Matsuri blushed deeply and leaned in to eat the rice. She chewed slowly as she trembled a bit but her eyes widen
I-it's not so bad. It actually taste good
"Does it taste good?" Mitsuko asked
"Y-yes" Matsuri said
"Here. Take a bite of this" Mitsuko said
"Awww it seems that the roles are reversed" Nitski giggled
"Sh-shut up" Matsuri said and ate some noodles
Hmm...not as bad as I thought. I'm not gagging
"This isn't so bad" Matsuri said
"Of course not. Your entire body is human so we can eat. Didn't I explain it to you earlier?" Nitski asked
"W-well yeah but I thought you were messing around with me...like you always do" Matsuri said and grabbed the cup filled with water
"Drink it dumbass. Besides with a human body you need water just like we need blood" Nitski said
"Okay" Matsuri said and took a sip of water
"Hey Yuzu. Sorry for acting like that in school" Harumin said
"Eh? Oh that? It's fine. Diane told us about how to behave like servants and to never look at the wealthy students in the eyes or else you'll get punished I guess which is kinda stupid" Yuzu said
"Eh? Do they do that?" Matsuri asked
"Some of them but I don't really care. I just ignore them..." Mitsuko said
"When your Queen...do you think you can change a few rules? Just so people like us don't have to suffer...I mean...those wealthy people who can buy stuff are always mean and think highly of themselves just because they have money. On the other hand there are homeless people and starving people who just can't afford food and have to beg for it. The King isn't doing anything but hunt vampires...." Yuzu said
"I understand what you're saying but...I'm not sure if I'm even ready to be Queen. I have two years left before my father leaves the throne and let's me take over but I have to marry a dumbass first" Mitsuko said and Matsuri 'accidentally' spat her drink on Nitski
"Bitch! The fuck!" Nitski exclaimed
"You somewhat deserved it..." Matsuri said as she wiped her mouth
"Have to marry an ass? Hmm? Seems like the same situation Matsuri was in" Juhin said
"And you know very well that the real Queen has to come back right?" Nitski said as she used napkins to clean herself
"No" Matsuri said
"You're a Queen?" Yuzu asked
"Shhhh don't say it so loudly" Matsuri said
"This bitch is the real Queen and she has to go back to take her father's throne before he decides to kill even more people" Nitski said while looking at her but Matsuri avoided making eye contact with her
"You know I'm not going to do that shit..." Matsuri said and kept eating
"I thought you wanted to help everyone" Nitski said
"I do" Matsuri said
"Then why do you keep running away? You know you're the rightful ruler. If this keeps up then your father will definitely end up ruling the world" Nitski said
"...I...need to go" Matsuri said as she stood up and walked away
"There she goes again..." Nitski mumbled
"W-wait Matsuri-"
"Mitsuko I'm sorry but please leave Matsuri alone for a while. She needs to think..." Juhin said
"B-but she doesn't have to do this alone. She can talk to me. I might understand how she feels because I'm in the same position as her" Mitsuko said as she stood up and left
"There goes the two lovebirds" Nitski said
"Is Matsuri going to be okay?" Harumin asked
"Don't worry little Taniguchi. Matsuri will be fine" Nitski said as she walked away
"You should've kept your mouth shut" Juhin whispered as he stepped close to her
"Guess Matsuri is still scared to go back...after all...she was raped" Nitski whispered
"About to...but I'm glad her mother stepped in" Juhin whispered
"I wonder what truly happened to auntie..." Nitski said
Is she dead or alive?
