Chapter 17: School Day
In a quiet windowless room, several figures in robes concealing their identity were having a fierce discussion. They were all Anima users; however, through some form of disguise they suppressed their aura and were indiscernible compared to ordinary people.
"Who! Just who in this town could banish Astel?" - Man A.
"Could it be that void spirit left on its own?" - Man B.
"Very unlikely. It would have left long ago if it wanted to." - Man C. The voice was deep and coarse.
The spirit was a summoned creature from another dimension brought forth by inexplicable means. It was seeping off the energy the cult gathered in preparation for the ritual. And in exchange, the creature will stifle and curb the specimen's growth to ensure a successful rite.
"The only suspect is that government agent. Jean, was it her name? She had been a pest for the past few weeks." - The only woman within this group spoke.
If Jean knew all of her unpaid overtime work in the recent weeks were the result of man-made consequences, then she would have taken a month of vacation off in frustration and ask for a raise for having to deal with this annoyance.
"That is impossible, she is not powerful enough and that place isn't somewhere humans can easily enter." -Man D. He spoke from the corner of the room.
"Well, what now? What does the HQ say?" - Man A.
"Continue... continue as if nothing happened." -Man B
"What?! How? But I suppose it's possible... that girl is still there; but it will be a hassle to put her back under control without Astel." -Man A.
"Just use a few more sacrifices to strengthen the seal; it's a waste, but it is what it is." - Man C.
"That will be risky with the nose of the government's dog sniffing near our doorstep. If this fails, I don't have another specimen for the ritual." The woman spoke again in an irritated tone.
"We will distract that agent somehow." - Man D
"That's our only option. It is settled then..." - Man A.
---------------------------
Storming through the streets on a bike, Leo blamed Lilith for being a glutton while the succubus blamed him for taking so long to shoot out that last load. Since Lilith insisted on having a second breakfast, the two left home later than usual and were at risk of being late.
However, thanks to the high durability of the bicycle, the couple arrived at school in just a nick of time. After a sweet kiss to the cheek, Lilith bid the boy good bye and rushed over to her class. The two were assigned to different classes unlike in their previous years.
Homeroom had not started yet, but Yuri-Sensei was already at the front desk preparing the documents for today's lecture. At the same time, Timmy, who also almost arrived late, came behind Leo to give him a brotherly pat on the shoulder. Amusingly, his hand only barely reached his friend due to the height difference.
When Leo walked past Yuri to get to his seat, the young teacher blushed in red and her heart uncontrollably throbbed. She tried to hide her reaction behind the papers, but she couldn't shake her eyes off from the boy sitting near the window.
"Hey, that video I uploaded two weeks ago was taken down by the site. I guess Yuuto's family finally reacted." After looking around, Timmy carefully whispered.
"You are a bold one to post it publicly like that. Even if it's a fake account, there is a chance you might be found out." Leo smelled another potential trouble from his friend.
"Heh, you are underestimating my professionalism. Plus, even if I am found out, I still got you and Lilith to cover my ass." Timmy's only fear was Yuuto beating him up in school; it would be an unfair fight.
"You can ask Lillith; she would probably help you beat up Yuuto anytime. But I... on the other hand..."
"Why are you even hiding the fact you have already awakened? You could have become popular and get all the girls you want like that scum. Oh wait, you already have Lilith, pretend you didn't hear that."
Timmy knew of Leo's capabilities from the times where he rescued him and his family from a life-threatening evil spirit. His mischievous little sister actually looked up to Leo as an idol. If only one day, he hoped that his little sister would look at him with the same admiring eyes. To his grievances, Timmy's mother also treated Leo better than her own son.
"It's troublesome, that's all."
Ever since the death of his mother, the boy began to appreciate the normal life he had led and did not want to disturb the peace; the attraction from being Lilith's rumored boyfriend was already bad enough. Of course, hunting for spirits to fill his bowel was an exception. Ending the conversation, Leo lazily laid his head on the desk to rest his eyes. The experience from yesterday night drained a great deal of his stamina.
Meanwhile, at the back of his seat, he once again overheard the conversation from the trio of girls.
"Rika, why can't you come with us to the beach? It's summer vacation, you know!" Katy was indignant.
"Sorry, Katy. My mother said I must return to my hometown no matter what."
"Oh right, your mother is the priestess of a shrine from a remote island. Is there some festival where you have to play the role of a Miko?" Marin speculated.
"Maybe, I don't know yet. She only told me there will be a special ritual."
Currently, Rika lived with a distant relative. It had been a while since she returned home. The girl never understood why mother sent her away from the island in the first place. Her mother always wanted her to succeed the family tradition as the next priestess of the shrine; yet, did not allow her to return until she was given the permission.
"Hey, maybe you can bring us to visit your home! I heard that the island is a tourist spot too." Katy excitedly said.
"Eh, Katy, you really want to go there? The ferry is like six hours alone." Marin added.
"Bleh, never mind, I get easily sea sick on boats." Katy snuck her tongue in resignation; she hoped the island had an airport like many famous island resorts.
Hearing the conversation concerning Rika, Leo's only thought was 'what a coincidence'.
"Ok class, homeroom is starting." Yuri clapped her hands for attention.
"So, for today's announcements. As you all know, summer is approaching. The school will host a field trip in mid-August, if you want to come, please fill out this form and return it to me, with the money, by the end of next week."
Upon Yuri-Sensei's announcements, the class turned into an uproar of excitement.
------------------------
The time fast forwarded towards noon. Lilith and Elizabeth were playing tennis in the specialized courtyard. In the middle of the action, the succubus suddenly spaced out while a deadly projectile smacked her forehead with lethal force. However, despite the skull crushing momentum behind the tennis ball, it only left a light red mark on her skin.
"What's wrong Lilith? You seemed to be dozing off?" Elizabeth caringly questioned.
"Eh? I am sorry, I am feeling a little bit unwell." Even the pain from the tennis ball could not completely wake her up.
The succubus regretted taking that extra serving of cheese this morning. Currently, her body was feeling feverish; something hot and volatile was causing chaos to her Anima flow. Her crotch was itchy for sensation while her womb was burning in heat.
This familiar feeling, the only culprit capable of this was Leo's vigorous potent seeds. The volume of viscous yogurt in her belly could not be easily digested, it still emanated immense life force throughout her body. Lilith blamed the boy for holding back such thick and heavy load until the last discharge.
"This is rare, your face looks red. Let's take a break then." Anima users naturally have strong immune systems and rarely feel unwell. Elizabeth, for example, never got sick in her life.
Resting on the bench, the two girls began to chit chat.
"So, I heard you proposed to that boy in class A some while ago. How was it? Have you two being going out?" Through Elizabeth's red crimson eyes, there were signs of curiosity.
"Yes, Leo is amazing. We have been very intimate lately, more so than ever before." The succubus wished she had proposed sooner.
"Heh, I am so jealous that you get to have a childhood friend. Mine is just a big disappointment. And a pig in heat that doesn't know his place..." The last part was inaudible. Surely, she knew that recording wasn't Yuuto's only offense.
"Oh yeah, I never formally apologized on behalf of Yuuto for coercing you, haven't I? I will prepare something worthy of an apology soon." That was an old story that happened almost a year ago, what could be the reason why Elizabeth brought it up now?
"Eh? You don't have to. I almost forgot about it."
Despite also being an Anima user, Yuuto's strength came from secondary means such as blood infusion, expensive Anima refinement pills, and other unspeakable methods. To a succubus with sharp senses, he was not all that enticing and considered insignificant.
"I consider you as my friend, Lilith. You know I don't have many friends. Most humans even amongst the awakened just aren't in our league, and unfortunately, that includes my fianc. For not knowing his place, he will receive fitting punishments."
Normally, a princess of her status would study in a prestigious institution from a big city. However, due to complicated family reasons, she chose to come here instead. Yuuto, as her fianc, naturally followed her to this school as well. But as a big shot from the big city, Yuuto thought he can have his way with anyone, especially women, and got his arse handed to him by Lilith at one point.
----------------------------
There was a trail of water marks left on the ground as she watched Lilith rush towards the restroom. Elizabeth thought the girl must be really sweaty today, more so than usual. Her bottom half looked totally soaked.
"Noel, my drinks." Seeing this made her thirsty.
A busty girl in a school uniform showed up with a glass containing red colored substances placed on a plate.
"Please enjoy, My lady." She was a servant of the Von Carstein family.
"So, were you able to find out who uploaded that video?"
"Yes, please take a look at this." Noel handed over a few documents.
"Hmm...interesting." The princess had a playful expression on her face.
