Chapter 44: Monster Girl Interviews 2

I was finally able to calm down and continue with the interview. Definitely the previous dizziness from having Harumu hug me affected my rationality, it is definitely not because I have a fetish for nekomimi, it is definitely not because of that.

"Nice to meet you nya" - The nekomimi woman does nya.

She does nya!

Ahem, I must calm down.

"My name is Nekonome Shizuka nya, my age, that's a secret nya ~" - Nekonome smiled playfully, I already like her.

"Could you tell us more information about your lineage?" - Tetsuo does not know how to appreciate the true culture and he only cares about his research, tch.

"No problem nya, I'm a nekomusume or cat-woman nya" - Nekonome began to explain about her race.

She has no talent in magic, but she makes up for it with great agility and speed superior to most other demihuman races.

Her five senses are also superior to other demihumans, with the sense of hearing and sight being the most developed.

She is not a dangerous species since her diet consists of human food, fish being her favorite food, I will make her sushi.

"I see" - Tetsuo took notes of everything she said.

"I see no problem with her being a teacher" - Kyoko nodded with a smile. - "Although the verbal tic would be strange. Nekonome-san could you avoid using the nya?"

"Blasphemy!" - I stood up hitting the desk. - "A nekomimi says nya! That's in the bible!"

Kyoko looked at me blankly. - "That is not in the bible"

"Then I'll make my own bible!" - Taking the nya from a nekomimi is a sin!

Kyoko and I stare at each other, in an anime this would be the moment where sparks appear between our gazes.

"I can avoid saying nya ..." - Nekonome said something horrible.

"No! You are perfect as you are! Don't let this sinful woman tell you how you should be!" - I screamed in panic as she pointed at the sinful woman.

"You're exaggerating" - Kyoko sighed, she doesn't understand the importance of the subject.

"The nekomimis are a gift from God, each nya is a gift that we mortals must treasure" - I looked at the ceiling waiting for God to descend to enlighten these ignorant creatures.

"Just sit down and stop acting like a clown" - Kyoko sighed.

"Ahem, I got carried away" - I scratched my cheek in shame and sat back down.

"Nyahahahaha, it's the first time I've heard something like that" - Nekonome started to laugh. - "Normally people underestimate the nekomusume and only see us as pets or decorations"

"They are frogs at the bottom of a well who do not know the vastness of the sky" - I caressed my nonexistent beard with an expression of wisdom. - "Ahem, what I mean is that no one is better or worse for being of a certain race, the important thing is the actions and personality of the individual"

The people in the room looked at me with smiles, they seemed to like what I said.

"That being said" - I looked at Nekonome with extreme seriousness. - "Can I call you Neko?"

"Neko? Sure, I like how it sounds. "- Nekonome smiled. - "I thought you would ask permission to touch my ears since you don't stop looking at them"

"I can do it?!" - I felt like a child at Christmas.

"Of course!" - Nekonome smiled in a pleasant way and approached me to let me touch her ears.

I ignored the expressionless faces of Anida, Kyoko and Tetsuo, I just focused on touching Nekonome's fluffy ears.

"Nyahahaha tickles" - Nekonome began to purr making me think that I died and went to paradise.

After 10 minutes of playing with her ears, I had to stop as there were other candidates that I need to interview, life is disappointing.

"You can play with my ears whenever you want" - Nekonome proved to be a fallen angel from heaven and smiled kindly.

"Thank you" - I was so touched that I almost cried.

"It is not necessary to thank me, this is nothing compared to how much you are helping us" - Nekonome smiled, but at the bottom of her expression there was sadness.

Who made the nekomimi depressed?! I'm going to kill him!

"Since the fall of the Youkai Academy we have been seeking refuge, this place has become our hope and for that, I can never thank you enough" - Nekonome made a deep bow full of respect and gratitude.

Youkai Academy? Where did I hear that?

Sounds like an anime...

Oh… OH SHIT.

Isn't that Rosario + Vampire?!

Are you telling me that that academy full of powerful monsters was destroyed?!

"Youkai Academy?" - Tetsuo's curiosity surfaced.

"It's the place where he used to work" - Nekonome sighed full of nostalgia and sadness. - "We were a demihuman faction in a small dimension out of this world where we lived in peace, but one day we were invaded and had to escape since then we have been moving to find a new home"

… I clenched my fists tightly.

"Who could do that?" - Kyoko seemed surprised, even if she knows the existence of supernatural beings, she still doesn't know how cruel this world is.

"We don't know" - Nekonome shook his head. - "We only know that they called True Demons"

The Underworld…

No matter what it takes, I need to destroy the Underworld.

"But hey, that doesn't matter anymore, those so-called demons can't cross into this world so if we ignore the demihumans hunters, here we are safe" - Nekonome smiled carelessly.

"No matter what it takes ..." - I looked at Nekonome with a feeling of renewed determination. - "I'll make sure you guys have a safe place to call home"

Nekonome looked at me in surprise and then showed a big smile. - "Thanks nya"

After talking for another couple of minutes Nekonome left the office. Like the first two women, I gave Nekonome some glasses so that she could hide her demihuman lineage.

Her two cat tails disappeared thanks to her concealment magic, and although her ears remained the same, they were now more like strands of hair so she retained her nekomimi charm.

I sighed heavily, this reminded me of the type of enemies I am facing.

Rosario + Vampire has powerful beings ranging from vampires, witches, werewolves, and snow ladies, but even they couldn't face the Underworld.

Now that I think about it, the number of people who registered in my residential area was more than 10,000 so I need to meet them to see possible talents willing to join me to face the Underworld and any other possible threat.

I suddenly feel like I'm in a kingdom-building game, but instead of enjoying it, I'm only being suffocated by worries that a single mistake will kill thousands of people who trust me.

"Are you OK? You look a little pale "- Kyoko touched my shoulder, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Ah yes, I was just too excited to meet a nekomimi that I got a little tired hahaha, I think I need to improve my physical condition" - I laughed awkwardly.

I don't want any more innocent people to get involved in this mess.

"Do you want us to stop for today?" - Tetsuo asked with concern.

"I'm fine and I don't want to make the work pile up" - I smiled wryly at the thought of all the paperwork that I still need to review.

Anida served me a cup of honey tea with what I felt better. After a few drinks, I nodded towards Olga to let the next person pass.

When the door opened I made the mistake of taking a sip of tea and almost spat it out in surprise.

You guys are supposed to be a demihuman community! What is an alien doing here?!

"Nice to meet you and thank you for receiving me, my name is Mikado Ryouko, I have come to apply for one of the nurse positions, I am single, my measurements are 94-58-91..." - Mikado curtsied making her big breasts jerk.

I should have read the applicants list, so I would have avoided nearly drowning with my tea.

Mikado is from the same anime as Mikan and Lala, To Love Ru. A beautiful woman with short brown hair, one of her characteristics although not very noticeable is that she has ears similar to an elf, but the most important thing is that she, like Lala, is one of the most brilliant minds in the universe.

In medical knowledge, there is no one who can overcome her which led her to have problems with a criminal group. Whether the Mikado in front of me is equal to the canon or the plot changed, she will be a great help to my group.

The problem is that just looking at her I feel like I am on the verge of a panic attack since she is not only extremely beautiful, she was also one of the waifus I dedicated the most 'manual works' to in my past life.

"Something happens?" - Mikado looked at my pale face and approached with a worried expression.

"Nothing is wrong absolutely nothing I am perfectly fine in short if I am fine thanks for asking" - I spoke so fast that I was surprised not to bite my tongue.

"..." - Mikado stopped and stared at me increasing my stress. - "Oh, I see, you have a phobia towards women"

"It's actually a phobia of beautiful women" - I smiled wryly trying to relax so as not to hyperventilate.

"I think I have something that can help you" - Mikado smiled kindly and brought her hand between her big breasts from where she took out a glass vial with a blue liquid.

Why do women use their breasts as if they were objects of spatial storage?

"This will help you calm down" - Mikado smiled and she threw the vial at me, the way she threw it was so professional that even with my dead cat reflexes I could catch it.

When I had the vial in my hands I realized that it was warm and had a subtle smell of orchids, the same smell that Mikado's body gave off.

I am excited and scared, but more scared.

Since Shaku didn't show up to maim Mikado it means the vial wasn't dangerous so I removed the cork and drank the liquid.

I am becoming dependent on supernatural drugs. Do I need rehabilitation? I do not know.

Unlike Enma's potions, the blue liquid had no taste or smell, it was like drinking water.

After the liquid ran down my throat I felt the growing flare of anxiety spreading within me begin to diminish until it became tolerable.

My phobia didn't go away completely, but it was enough to not make me want to jump out the window to escape.

"Thanks, I feel better" - I sighed and thanked with all my heart.

Not even Enma has managed to make a potion that can calm me so quickly without causing me to faint so I felt like making an altar to Mikado to pray to her every day.

"Hmm, it seems that it did not take effect completely, your immune system seems more resistant than most of the beings on this planet" - Mikado came closer and looked at me curiously.

I felt like a panda being watched in a zoo, it was uncomfortable.

"Well, a building could fall on me and I will only feel itch so maybe I am a little resistant" - I shrugged, now that I feel calmer I could joke a little.

"Seriously? That's interesting "- Mikado looked at me with more interest.

"Just kidding" - Now I know what a lab rat feels like.

Mikado started to smile. - "Ara ara, it didn't seem like a joke"

Shit, ara ara is never a good sign.

Fortunately I have friends who will protect me from this crazy scientist.

"Do you have a phobia of beautiful women?" - Tetsuo asked in surprise.

"When I regained my sanity I developed this problem, I also lost my memory" - I scratched my cheek feeling guilty for lying to my friends.

"I see, that explains a lot" - Tetsuo nodded ignoring the fact that Mikado was looking at me like a wolf stalking a rabbit.

Kyoko proved to be a trustworthy person and my last hope so he entered the conversation. - "If you have a phobia of beautiful women, why didn't you have problems talking to me?"

My hope was shot and buried in a septic tank.

"Because you are my trusted friend, possibly you are my only friend and apparently my phobia does not explode when I interact with people who are important to me" - I gave a sincere answer, but it did not seem to be enough for Kyoko.

In the words of a sage: 'Hell has no fury like a despised woman'.

Kyoko looked at me with a smile that was not a smile and pointed to Mikado who seemed more interested in dissecting me. - "Between her and me, who is more beautiful?"

You better ask me to commit suicide.

"I am the kind of man who speaks from the bottom of my heart with sincerity" - I looked at Kyoko with total honesty. - "Therefore I appeal to my right to remain silent"

Even if the way Mikado is looking at me starts to scare me, I can't deny that she is ridiculously beautiful.

Whether for general aesthetics or my personal preferences, she is the second most beautiful woman I have seen and the third sexiest.

While I love Anida and Asagi, they both lack that sense of sex appeal that Mikado abounds.

But regardless of whether Mikado or any other woman is more beautiful than the women around me, I would not trade any of them for anything in the world, not even the most beautiful waifu in the universe.

"..." - Kyoko's smile went from threatening to homicidal. - "Are you sure you won't answer?"

"…" - I used my three and a half neurons to figure out how to escape from this. - "How about you tell me when was the last time you were intimate with your fiancé?"

It is obvious that she will be ashamed of it and she will not want to answer so I will not have to answer either.

I am so stupid that when someone intelligent argues with me they are just banging their heads against an ignorant stone.

"Ten months ago..."

"Eh?" - What did I just hear?

"I said it was ten months ago ..." - Kyoko's expression was so grim that she could awaken the sharingan.

"…" - We all fell silent, even Mikado stopped looking at me like a juicy piece of meat and looked at Kyoko with an expression of… Compassion? Oh God, even the crazy alien feels sorry for her.

"Ahem, if your fiancé has performance problems I have a drug that can fix it" - Mikado tried to help, but only rubbed salt on her wound.

"It is true that he has performance problems… But that is not the biggest problem, lately, we hardly see each other, he says it is my fault for focusing so much on work, but I am the only one who works while he staying all day at home without doing anything, besides being a teacher is what I enjoy the most in life... I would like him to do something nice for me at least once, at least cook... But I only get complaints when we see each other... "- The voice Kyoko's was so gloomy that I thought she was a necromancer.

We had to stop the interviews as the next two hours were spent comforting Kyoko.

At Kyoko's request, Anida brought sake and she started drinking as if she wanted to break a world record.

"Why does that idiot keep complaining all day like a fagot even though he doesn't even work?!" - Kyoko was holding a bottle as she screamed at the ceiling. - "I have to work overtime to save for our wedding because that queer is too lazy to look for a job!"

"... I'm a little scared" - Tetsuo whispered in a low voice so as not to attract the attention of the T-Rex.

"Me too" - I wanted to take the bottle from Kyoko but her expression was very scary.

"Unburdening a bit is important for mental health" - Mikado smiled wryly as Kyoko yelled insults at her greatest enemy, the ceiling. - "By the way, will I have the job?"

"Yeah, just make sure you don't use the students as lab rats" - I sighed and drank some tea as I don't like alcohol.

"Ara ara, no problem, I found something much more interesting" - Mikado showed me a beautiful smile that made my skin crawl with fear.

Why can't I meet normal people?

Thus we concluded the workday watching Kyoko drink alcohol until she finally fell unconscious.

"What do we do with the other applicants?" - Tetsuo asked me looking at Kyoko that she appreciates a corpse.

"We will accept everyone" - They have already gone through Kiara and Asagi's inspection so they should be trustworthy.

Now that I think about it, these interviews were useless as there was no risk of spies, I will only speak with the teachers in private to ask about their particular needs.

"What do we do with it?" - Mikado pointed at the drunk woman.

"I will take her to a place where she can rest" - I sighed, in my mansion there are rooms for visitors so it is not a problem.

"Oh, are you going to have fun with her?" - Mikado smiled strangely making me frown.

"There is one thing that must be clear" - I looked at the woman seriously. - "You can not joke with this kind of thing, I will not take advantage of a drunk woman"

"..." - Mikado lowered his head. - "Sorry, I went out of line"

I sighed and nodded. - "As long as you understand it is fine"

Now to go home so I can fix myself, tonight I have a business meeting with a shitty dad.
