Chapter 50

Alan Marris

Taylor, Kali, Victoria, Amelia, Harley, and even Sophia got together to meet the new girls. 

Eri got along well with the younger girls while Manuela got along well with the older ladies. The one that could potentially be a problem was Chitose. Eri was a soldier and Manuela was a teacher, but Chitose was an unknown. Worse, she was an unknown choosing not to interact with anyone other than me.

“So why not go talk with the girls?” I asked her. 

“I’m watching them, and that’s good enough for now,” she replied coolly. 

I hummed. “I’m not sure what kind of environment you come from, but we’ll all be very close soon, though if you want to opt out…”

She knew what he meant.

“I would like to opt out.”

“Then that’s your decision. Mind you, I will be trying my best to seduce you anyway.”

She snorted. “I’m a shinobi. Resisting seduction and torture are the basis of counterintelligence training,” she replied as her chin slightly tilted up. “You can try your best, but you will not be able to get anything out of the best first year student of the Hebijo Academy.”

This time, I snorted. 

“Girl, I am a monster.”

She glanced at me and looked at my figure from top to bottom and back.

“So what if you have some tentacles for legs?”

… she was oddly accepting.

“I wouldn’t call myself a monster if that was all,” I replied. “This is but one of my bodies.”

She stared at me before frowning. “You’re not going to say something silly like ‘my true body is a horror buried deep underground’ or something like that, right?”

I didn’t reply and looked away. 

“Right?”

I still didn’t reply.

Someone giggled, and the two of us turned to look at Harley. 

“Oh darling, you have no idea what he’s really like~! He’s got tentacles everywhere and he loves using them!” 

Chitose gave me a disgusted look. “So you have that kind of fetish.”

“It’s my power.”

“They say power is but an expression of the individual…”

“Brat.”

“Tentacle fetish.”

“Baby ninja.”

“Weirdo.”

“This weirdo is your master.”

“... Ugh.”

I snorted. “I think you’ll be fine. Though I won’t guarantee if you will or will not get along with the rest of my girls. As for what you will be doing… I have a general idea, but do you want to tell us about yourself?”

Chitose looked around and saw that all of our attention was on her. Sighing, she pushed herself off of the wall that she’s been leaning back on.

“My name is Chitose, a first year shinobi of the Hebijo Clandestine Girls’ Academy. As a student of Heibjo Academy, I excel in all things ninja-related: sabotage, assassination, subterfuge, infiltration, and all forms of combat. Whatever you need me to do, I will excel, even if that means I’ll learn on the job.”

I hummed. “Well, I do need spies… Can you train them yourself?”

She paused and fidgeted a bit. “Teaching … is not my best trait nor do I understand what is best for a student,” she replied honestly. “The way I was taught was through brute force; Hebijo Academy accepted all applicants but only few graduated alive.”

Kali frowned. “That sounds like hell, dear.”

“I endured.”

I hummed again but didn’t say anything. 

Taylor spoke up. “You don’t have to fight if you don’t want to… right, Alan?”

I nodded. “Though you’ll take up a slot on my summons, I don’t mind. As long as you find something else to do.” 

“... I’ll find something,” she said, and I noticed how her shoulders loosened up just slightly. Not perceptibly but not a lot of things could escape my passive and active sensors.

As for Manuela and Eri, they seemed ideas about what they wanted to do.

Except in Manuela’s case…

“What do you mean there’s no magic in your world?” she asked us before gesturing to the circle that I used to summon her. It was a barebone thing. “Didn’t you summon me?” 

“I did,” I replied. “But I’m an exception, not the norm. Magic is nonexistent in this world. Or if there is, then no one else has discovered and maintained the knowledge of it.”

She looked horrified.

And then looked determined.

It was pretty clear what she was going to do.

As for Eri, she was very blunt about it all.

“... You got anime?”

“Yes.”

“Cool. Got people for me to train?”

“Yes.”

“Cool. What’s my salary?”

“Society’s collapsed around here. There’s no set currency, so 

“Cool. Am I going to have sex with you? I’m perfectly fine with tentacle sex. I’m actually curious.”

“If you want, yes. If you don’t want to, then you don’t.”

“Cool. What day do I get for sexy time?”

Yeah, she was very forward and blunt. But then again, that may simply be what soldiers were like from where she came from. 

“Any time. I’ve got more than one body. But for today, just hang around and get to know everyone, please.”

“Sure.”

She was going to be interesting…
