Meeting Her Dad

Greetings to Ruu's dad. It was an immense trial for me.

Both Ruu's dad and mom warmly welcomed and greeted me. However, that made it even more difficult. Lying to Ruu's dad, who holds the position of a judge, was not a pleasant thing, even if I thought I wouldn't get caught.

Moreover, I felt miserable pretending not to know that they already knew the truth, and even if I were to reveal the truth, it would be too absurd and likely to be perceived as a lie.

In any case, the greeting to Ruu's dad was completed smoothly.

However, in my heart, an indescribable sense of unease lingered. If I were to talk to someone about it, I would probably hear something like, [That's what it means to become an adult...] in response. Unfortunately, I'm still an otaku whose heart remains forever childish.

It feels like I've tainted my own pure side, and I can't seem to shake off this uneasy feeling.

"What's wrong? You look down. Shark will be here soon."

"Hmm... what is it? Is it that time already?"

"Hey, what's wrong...? It's not even the new year yet, and you're already spacing out."

"Hehe... Well, thanks to you, my mood changed. I'm fine now."

It seems that Shark's school, too, was in turmoil due to the Dungeon Stampede's effects. But that has settled, and they've finally entered winter break. In other words, we entered the school, killed goblins, and left their bodies lying around. Well, we caused quite a bit of trouble.

"[Gacha!] Hey, Jung! Long time no see...?"

"Hey, you're still the same. Even in an apartment like this, there's a doorbell, right? Huh? Hey, what's wrong, Shark?"

With a rough demeanor, Shark opens the front door like a ruffian and shows his face. However, upon seeing us inside, for some reason, his momentum rapidly diminishes.

"Well, you guys look really different...! I mean, Machi is insanely beautiful... Well, I always thought she was pretty, but why is everyone suddenly so incredible!!"

Hey, why the sudden change in attitude? Or maybe that's a normal reaction.

It's been a while since Shark met everyone. They've gained various powers from me, and although I weakened, they powered up.

"Oh, but Jung is surprisingly normal! But your face has changed a bit, hasn't it? Did you get plastic surgery or something...?"

"Hey, you're quite rude after not seeing me for a while! Are you okay, Shark? No injuries?"

"Haha! This is a badge of honor! I'm perfectly fine!! [Flourish]"

Saying that, Shark lifts her skirt, revealing the lightning-patterned scar on her left thigh from the battle with the goblins.

The navy blazer that got torn during the goblin fight has been intentionally repaired with a fabric with a completely different ivory color, giving it a somewhat idol-like stage costume feel. Well, what kind of repair is that?

But to consider scars as badges of honor? She's truly a remarkable high school girl.

"More importantly, Jung! Why won't you give me Sandra-san's contact information!!"

Oh boy. The same story again.

The time when I turned into an Amazoness Macho. To be precise, when I met Shark, I was in a natural new futa. However, it seems that this appearance was an idealized self-image for Shark.

So, when I returned to a state where I could use phones and communicate normally, I kept getting messages from Shark, saying, "Please tell me Sandra-san's contact information!"

"I've told you so many times, haven't I? Her communication device got damaged in that commotion! Once she gets a new one, she'll contact you."

"Mmm... I'm sure of it! It's a promise!"

"But... what is it about her that you like so much, Shark?"

Since she was so persistent, I decided to ask Shark about the reason.

"Huh... Jung, don't you get it? Sandra-san is a woman, but look at those shoulders! That strength! She easily crushed a goblin's neck with her bare hands! I'm seeing that sent shivers down to the depths of my soul!!"

"I see..."

Mmm? It was impromptu at that time. I showed a pretty gruesome sight to the high school girls who were there. Many of them seemed to have wet themselves or fainted.

"So, I decided! I'm going to beg Sandra-san to let me be her disciple!!"

Why do you get to do that?

"Oh well... give it up. She likes being alone in the great outdoors. If you disturb her, she might end up killing you."

"Grr...!"

"Shark-chan, she's like that... If you forcefully pursue her, she'll escape no matter what. If you like Sandra-san, Shark-chan wouldn't want her to dislike you, right...?"

"Ugh...!"

"Since Sandra-san's twin brother is here, you could train with him here. You might become a strong woman recognized by Sandra-san!"

"I wonder if that's true...?"

"It is! When Shark-chan someday gets recognized by Sandra-san, and you share the same perspective. Whether you still want to be her disciple or want to defeat her in a fight. Well, that's something to look forward to in the future. But for now, there's a brother here who is as strong as Sandra-san. It's more beneficial to train here."

"Got it! Hey Jung! I heard from Machi that there's a part-time job-fighting monsters! Let me fight already!!"

Shark with a direct and straightforward nature easily fell for Nina-san's persuasion.

Quite easy! But somehow she doesn't show any restraint towards me at all. What's going on...?
