It's True Love 53 (Patreon)

"Shine, Noel-Sensei!" Once we get close to the objective I send her a thumbs up and stop walking.

The objective of this is increasing her friend count, so if both Rika and I walked over and took control of the situation this whole thing would have been pretty meaningless. This is a challenge Noel must face alone.

Rika smiles. "Yeah, it's time for you to fly like a majestic bird, metaphorically speaking. Go make friends and stop being such an embarrassment!" Wow, you really hold nothing back at all.

Noel's eye twitches. "What, am I supposed to just go there and have a normal conversation while you two watch?" We both quickly nod. There's no way I'm missing something so beautiful. "Yeah, no way."

I chuckle. "Don't worrry Noel-Sensei, they won't find me staring to me be strange at all. I mean, when am I not looking at hot women?" Specially when they are in bikinis.

Rika raises a hand. "And I love copying Yuta, so it makes sense for me to watch them!" Not really. Normally in a situation like this you would be glaring at me. I won't tell that to Noel though, so she doesn't get discouraged.

Noel puts her hands on her hips. "Yeah, no. This isn't happening. Why do you guys even want to watch me anyways?" Because I want to see you making a friend of course!

I grin. "Didn't I just say I like watching hot women?" Man, I'm probably coming off as a creep right now. Still, this is better than saying I want to watch her as if she was a zoo animal finally meeting another member of her species.

Noel crosses her arms and looks away. "Don't patronize me brat, I know I'm not exactly... Well, I'm pretty fat." There is something wrong with this world. There's no way she just said that, right!?

I gasp, wondering how reality broke this way. "Your ass is the only fat thing here though!" What standards is this woman pursuing!?

You know, I heard about how some people just can't truly see themselves before, about how their opinions about themselves affect that. I think I'm now talking to someone like that. So even though Noel-Sensei is absurdly hot, she just doesn't see it.

Her eye twitches. "Wow, don't you know how to make a woman feel special..." Sorry. Admittedly complimenting a woman's ass is probably not fixing their self-esteem, but I'm a pathetic man.

Rika sighs. "Noel-Sensei... While Yuta put it in a horrible way, because he is a pervert, he is saying the truth. You're an incredible beautiful woman! Just not as beautiful as Bimbocueid... or Rabbit... or Akiha... or the twins... or Sensei... or Sensei's sister... or me..." Wow.

As expected Noel cuts her off. "I get it okay!? Stop throwing that at my face!" To be fair the competition is pretty crazy here. I'm just lucky I happen to wash Shiki. And Arihiko isn't even in the discussion.

I hold back chuckles, that would probably not be the right move in this situation. "Well, if nothing else you're pretty enough for me, and probably for every guy in this damn city." Please don't go out with them though.

"And you're definitely pretty enough to go to Sensei and Touko, and ask if they're willing to share their drinks!" I send her a thumbs up. "Friendship..." I would also like if she made friends other than the people I personally know, but... baby steps.

She grits her teeth. "Why are you two acting like I'm socially inept!? I'm not scared of some drunkards!" Strange. I'm scared of drunk Aoko and Touko after all. "You know what? Fine. You two can sit back and watch." Awesome.

Noel turns around, and begins marching towards the Aozaki sisters. It almost looks like she's about to go declare war on them. Not a very friendly thing, but I suppose it's better than nothing.

Rika snorts. "You think she will succeed? I for one am betting I will have to save her from them a few minutes from now." How mean. And here I thought you were genuinely cheering for her.

Well, I definitely am at least. "Nah, she'll win. Soon an orgy will start between the three red heads, and I will be invited... Alternatively they're gonna hit it off, but Noel-Sensei will be feeling a little shy at the beginning." Which is cute, so it's still a win.

Really, as long as Sensei stops being so shy I'll consider it a win. Maybe then she will start visiting me so she can talk with Aoko! Actually she never visits us even though we live with Ciel. Isn't that a bit strange?

Noel takes a step forward and then... turns around and walks back to us. "Actually, I don't want to get drunk or anything. Really." Her face is completely red. So in the end she couldn't do it huh?

Rika giggles. "You're such a responsible adult, Noel-Sensei." Her words are dripping with sarcasm. Without a doubt she her mind is trying to come up with some insult that will end the life of my teacher.

Which means I should prevent that before it's too late. "You may have rejected getting drunk, but I won't!" I take Noel by the hand, and start dragging her towards the Aozaki sisters.

The truth is that I would have preferred if she did this alone, but if she can't I don't mind lending a hand. That said, I hope I'm not pushing her too far either... Man, it feels like I'm trying to rehabilitate a NEET.

But she isn't a NEET. She is a super attractive vampire hunter who hates herself for some inconceivable reason. As with most things, this is probably Roa's fault, but I can't exactly punish him right now.

She sputters. "What are you doing!? You're not even old enough to drink!" My body may not be old enough, but my soul certainly is! And also, it should be fine if I only drink a little.

Rika follows us, as expected. "Oh, I wanna get super drunk too." Now that's a scary image. The world might not survive if you happen to be the type of drunk who gets into fights.

Though Rika probably can't get drunk anyways, since she's a ghost and all. Then again, knowing Sensei she might be drinking something that is able to affect even a walking curse.

As we get close to the Aozaki Sisters, I excitedly wave at them. "Yo, Sensei!" With Aoko, Touko and Noel here we might end up having a massive ass singularity, ending the entire world.

As soon as Sensei sees me, a smile appears on her face. "Yo Yuta, you can come sit down with us!" She then notices Rika and Noel. "And you two as well! Yeah, my favorite people in the entire world right by my side..."

"Except for Shiki who is talking with his sister. And Alice who is probably messing around with her husband. And her husband who is probably messing around with Alice..." Suddenly tears appear on her eyes. "I'm so lonely...!" Oh boy.

I chuckle. "Can I help with that?" Is she this drunk already!? Touko seems just fine though! In fact she's even smirking... Well, that is immensely suspicious. Suddenly I don't want to drink anymore.

Aoko shakes her head. "Sorry, no. I have a boyfriend..." And then her eyes widen. "Wait... you're my boyfriend! I'm not lonely! It's just that Touko's presence was ruining everything as usual!" What an amazing realization.

In one quick jump Aoko gets up. It's sort of impressive since she has definitely gotten way too drunk already. And honestly she will probably regret this later, since it's actually still pretty early in the day.

And then she jumps at me. "Yuta!" With one hug she pulls me down, and I obviously don't resist. In fact if she decided to pull down my trunks right now I would be totally okay with this as well.

As our bodies touch, Rika pouts. "Hey Sensei, you're an adult woman, and Yuta is a teen." Eh, why are you saying that when you know my real identity? Oh, you're probably just trying to stop Sensei, aren't you?

Normally such an attack would work, but... instead Sensei just smiles. "I am an adult, aren't I...?" She leans closer to my ear. "Then let me teach you some adult activities!" I'm okay with this!

Though I imagine soon we will be attacked by the legendary Park Senpai, who doesn't let any indecent thing happen... Except she's currently busy with Arcueid. And by that I mean she's fighting the vampire.

Currently the whole beach is shaking due to the executor hitting the vampire with a power bomb. I imagine it will shake even more when Arcuied retaliates, though Senpai will probably be fine as usual.

Most importantly though, this means Aoko won't be interrupted. And so without hesitation she starts planting kisses on my neck.

"I'm okay with this!" I naturally scream out my approval. Now the only way things could get better is if Noel, Rika and Touko jumped me as well. I can take them after all, definitely.

Instead however, Noel sighs. "What did I expect anyways?" There's a blush on her face as she looks down on us. My Yuta senses however, are telling me she definitely wanted to be on Sensei's place! I'm not delusional by the way.

Rika looks away. "I can't bear to watch this. Competing with Sensei is impossible." You're not even going to try and kill her or something!? Truly Aoko Aozaki is the strongest in the modern era.

However, as we all know, little sisters always lose to their big sisters. And so Touko gets up, and begins dragging Aoko away from me. "Calm down you pervert!" If she did put something in those drinks, then I bet she'd regretting it right now.

Aoko tries to struggle, but it's all in vain. "He's my boyfriend though! It's totally okay for me to do this!" Slowly she actually starts to escape. "Now go back to being sad, alone, and boyfriendless, Touko!" Huh, neat...

I didn't know Touko could pull off a power bomb too.

I get up, and in that time Aoko begins recovering, getting up too. if this was a cartoon I imagine she would have a couple of stars spinning above her head.

Touko sighs. "Honestly, what a pain." She looks back at me. "So, what do you need? You came here to make out with Aoko?" My Yuta senses tingle yet again! And this time I'm also not being delusional.

I wave her off. "No... Well, actually I wouldn't mind being attacked again. I think I like being attacked in fact." The park situation also only happened because Senpai was being forward. I guess I really am a sweet and innocent flower.

"But the real reason I came here was simple...! Rika and I want to get drunk, so give us alcohol. Oh, and throw some Noel-Sensei's way too." Actually if this thing is creating aggressive Aoko's... Maybe everyone should have a sip!

Except Shiki.

Touko slowly nods. "Sure... Erm... Here's some advice from your magecraft teacher though, drink it very slowly." Yeah, she definitely put some weird stuff on it as a revenge plot against Sensei.

However, that does not matter right now, because... I raise my arms. "Victory!" I hope Noel analyzed my social techniques. It's simple, one must simply get assaulted by their girlfriend!

Rika too raises her arms as a cheer. "Victory!" Oh, I just realized the world really is doomed. My ghost girlfriend will be drinking something extra strong after all... Eh, it should be fine.

Noel-Sensei rolls her eyes. "Victory... Dumbass brats." Hopefully cute brats. And hey, don't complain, I'm doing this thing because of you. It's not like I wanted to be kissed by Sensei. Heh.

And finally Sensei completely recovers. "Huh, what are you guys talking about again? I missed it due to almost being knocked unconscious." Very understandable. I for one am I still surprised that Touko has all that strength.

I shrug. "We were just asking for alcohol so we could get drunk." Maybe I could use that as an excuse to touch girls inappropriately! Actually Cat wouldn't care and she would probably just kill me.

Aoko takes a deep breath. "I see..." And then she stomps the ground, sand goes flying everywhere. "Hell no!" As usual, I instinctively defend myself from any kicks. Still, what did I do to set her off!?

To my surprise however, she doesn't get violent at all. She just starts laying on me. "Are you and Rika stupid or something!? The both of you are not old enough to drink yet! Much less whatever foul concoction Touko came up with!" You were kissing me a second ago.

I raise a finger. "W-we would accept even a single sip...?" I didn't know Sensei was going to be this passionate about this...

Touko raises an eyebrow. "Um... Miss Student Council President came back from the dead to protect her boy toy from the horrors of underage drinking, huh?" Ah, I see now what's happening here.

But at this point it's too late, since I tried to object. "Just a sip!? They always start like that, and before long you're using drugs, and gambling, and my dreams of marriage are ruined!" Oi.

I take a step back. "Sorry Sensei, I will... um... try my best to not ruins your dreams of marriage." At least I got to hear that Sensei is hoping to one day marry me. That's always nice for the heart.

She nods. "You better!" A sigh escapes my mouth. "Honestly, kids can be so dumb." You are dating this kid. You were kissing my neck like a sex maniac. Did the power bomb sober you up!?

Noel nods too. "I know right? It's like they are almost trying to make the worst mistakes imaginable." Oh? So now you wanna speak up? I suppose that's sort of a goal being fulfilled.

Sensei immediately agrees. "Yeah! I was a Student Council President once ya know? And everyday was a different type of hell. Mostly hell involving teens being way too horny." Are these two bonding over this!?

Mission accomplished...? "Rika, we should probably escape." They are bonding over how everyone around our age is the worst after all. So I might as we go on towards the next bond event.

"Yeah, let's go before Noel-Sensei executes us."



/////////////////////////////////////////////////



You know, I'm a bit of a fool. I don't consider myself intellectually dumb, but I definitely lack wisdom. For you see, I soon realized I really only had two more events to truly complete.

Right now there are two groups I haven't visited yet. The Akiha group, and the Miyako group. Miyako was actually with Akiha before, but eventually Shiki took her to the ocean, and now they're enjoying time together with Cat.

I imagine Miyako probably considers this whole thing a fever dream considering Arcueid and Ciel have caused small earthquakes, but it is what it is.

The Akiha group now solely consists of the twins and the heiress herself. I guess they must be catching up. As expected they don't hate each other, which is very nice to see.

What is important however, is that in my attempt to avoid execution, I walked over to the French revolution. "Yo Akiha!" There's no backing down now though, even if Akiha has undoubtedly seen my shenanigans with Aoko.

I immediately expect to see a red haired Akiha, but to my surprise... she doesn't seem to be too angry? "Oh, so you finally stopped fooling around with other women?" I actually, I take it back, she's definitely angry.

"Um... no... my whole thing is fooling around with women." Rika nods to my side. She too is looking at Akiha weirdly.

Mostly because her anger feels different. Her hair hasn't become red yet, and she's also not acting like a bomb, instead she's more like the cruel cold wind right now. Well, all mad Akiha's are cute, but I'm wondering what's the reason for this flavor.

She takes a step closer to me. "Well, you should eliminate the thought of me being just another woman who you can fool around with. Next time come to me first of all." I guess I wounder her pride.

She continues. "I came to this gathering because of you after all, therefore it is your duty to at least compliment my attire. Do not tell me you have stopped putting effort." She talks as if I'm being a neglectful husband...

I awkwardly look at Hisui and Kohaku, begging for help with my eyes, my pleas go ignored however. Rika is no help either, and I imagine she would love if Akiha quit the war so to speak anyways.

And staying silent for too long has cost me. "So? Nothing to say for yourself?" Geez... Red haired Akiha would have probably just punched me at this point, but this Akiha really is making me squirm.

Has she learned how to control her anger? That doesn't matter right now, I suppose... "My bad Akiha, but you gotta leave the best for last!" The last is actually Miyako's group. My statement remains true.

She doesn't seem convinced. "That's all?" No!

As if I would fall so easily. "Yes, that's all of my excuses for why I didn't come here to see you first." Yet again no red hair, even though her expression is filled with distate. "But... you wanna know something Akiha?" I set one card face down and end my turn.

She raises an eyebrow. "What?" Fool! Doesn't she know that going second is awful nowadays! And I bet she put no board breakers on her deck either.

So I flip my quick-spell face up! Not a trap card of course, traps are shit. "Maybe I wanted to be pursued for a bit." Her eyes widen. "I mean, just imagining an Akiha coming towards me and pushing me down... I would break." She is breaking!

Finally a red blush appears on her face. "U-ugh...! How do you say things like that without pause or hesitation!?" Because they always work! Also, because it's true.

Recently I have been learning I'm weak to agressive women. Though I guess in this case I'm being the agressive one, weirdly enough. "Akiha... please be gentle with me." I would say its my first time, but that would be a lie.

She covers her nose. There's no way she just had a nosebleed right. "I'm gonna eat you up... I won't be gentle at all." Oh, she is even panting how scary.

Kohaku tilts her head. "Erm... Akiha, please remember that his younger sisters are right here." This time she didn't hesitate to call her without the whole lady stuff. Progress, I suppose.

Suddenly Akiha snaps back to reality. "I never forgot!" She definitely forgot... That aside though, she's not getting angry at Kohaku. Weird. Has her tsun levels decreased or something...?

Welp, it looks like this is a case for detective Yuta.



/////////////////////////////////////////////////



AN: And so Noel finally makes a friend! And she doesn't even have a inferiority complex and secretly hates this one! Of course such a friendship could only be born after a teen was sexually assaulted...

Speaking of sexual assault, that's what Akiha wants to do. Anyways, next chapter should be the last one for this mini-beach arc, and then we will probably start the Roa stuff.
