29 Chapter 27 - A Little Early [18+]

The sun rose ever so quickly and Aiko was the first to rise, "*Mmnnn*" with eyes squinted shut she stretched her arms while still cuddled to Takumi when her right hand hit something rigid which slapped back onto his stomach. Aiko immediately widened her eyes, pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose, she gazed at Takumi's morning wood, standing like a lone tree on a flat plain.

Her persona changed again as she turned her attention to his sleeping face which was as lifeless as a corpse, "I can't just leave the poor boy like this," She lustfully tried to justify her desires as she placed her hand on his rod, stroking it slowly. With no delay she sheathed him with her mouth, no reaction came from Takumi but Aiko didn't mind, the sheer feeling of having his rod moving inside her in any shape or form was enough to get her flower soaked.

Countless minutes of her stroking his length with her tongue along with her rigorously fingering herself, she made herself orgasm and made Takumi blow his load down her throat, his erection was calmed. "There!" she patted her belly after swallowing, "ufufu, looks like I had breakfast early."

The sun was at full blast when Takumi woke up. Luna, who seemed to have tossed and turned herself out of his embrace and landed in a cradled position, had her rounded rump in clear view. His attention was diverted with the sound of humming beautifully blending with the rushing rhythm of the waterfall, after wrapping his hair in a ball then putting on a pair of shorts, he walked in the sound's direction where he found Aiko with her hair flowing loosely a top the water taking a bath; "Oh, your up, why don't you come join me?" She asked as she rose and pressed her upper body against Takumi's bare chest, he kindly refused saying he wanted to get something to eat first and Aiko understood.

Walking away he was very intrigued by how Aiko's personality could change like clothes and this made him have the urge to find what triggers her into her different personas, but that was left for another time, he was famished.

Usually at this time Misao would be up preparing breakfast, she had a housewife attitude hidden deeply under her psychotic persona but the sound and aroma of breakfast being prepared was absent. Checking the camphouse, Takumi noticed that Misao had left so he decided to seek food somewhere else.

Entering the village, Takumi noticed Ichika, who was diligently training in front of her house with a fighting dummy wearing her sarashi and loose pants, her dragon mark glowing in a cold-looking light. "Quite a lovely morning my dear," he greeted with flair as he strutted over to her, but no answer came from her mouth, she delivered a solid punch to the dummy which froze it's head and flung it backwards. Nonetheless he continued, asking for a bite to eat Ichika remained silent, she continued throwing frozen kicks and punches at the dummy as if it were a loathed enemy.

"Hello?! Is anyone home?!" He pestered as he stared at her sweaty face, which looked somewhat wrinkled from anger. Takumi continued his annoying routine until Ichika had gone over the edge, she huffed as she roughly picked up the dummy and stormed through her front door, slamming it into his face when he tried to follow her inside.

Takumi scratched his head in confusion as he pondered what the issue may have been. He stood on the porch without a clue of what was wrong with Ichika when her door opened, "wha-" he tried to utter a caring question when he stopped by Minori's book hitting him in the chest, "Read that, it'll give us the information we came here for," Ichika's voice was cold and her expression was even more so; Takumi took the book from her and the door was slammed again, he had almost given up when he walked down the flight of four steps until he decided to try once more, "So what about something to eat?!" He shouted at the door, but sadly the only reaction he got was a rounded fruit that was frozen to the core being thrown at him.

***

Ichika stood silently at a window watching Takumi walk away without a single backwards glance, her heart was beating out of her chest and her mouth gaped slightly from heavy breathing. "What's wrong with me?!" she fell to the floor with knees turned outwards and began to cry in her hands as her emotions got into a frenzy.

***

Takumi tried to bite into the solid fruit but it was futile as it only gave him a serious tooth ache, "was it something I said?" he asked himself still pondering Ichika's state of mind, still, no answer came to him as he approached Arata's building, he decided to go over what the book he was given held and leave Ichika for later.

Walking down the hall to the main room the sound of flesh connecting in blows and voices of battle bounced off the walls. As Takumi entered it was revealed to be coming from Arata and Misao, having a friendly sparring match; he waited until Misao landed after having multiple midair kicks being deflected by Arata before interjecting.

"Take a look at this!" Holding Minori's notes up above his head, Takumi informed them of the book and after Arata pointed out that he was the one who found it but hadn't gotten around to finding out what it held, they all gathered around to read it.

On the camp grounds, Luna was just getting up when her eyes met Aiko's back just before it was covered by her blue garb. "Morning…" Luna reluctantly greeted as she went to put on the one piece of clothing she had brought. Aiko tied her hair in pigtails as per usual and returned a darling, less cold greeting.

Luna noticed how Aiko's presence was entirely different from what she had seen the night before and this brought some insecurity on her, "what…do you feel…for Takumi?" she unconsciously questioned Aiko's true feelings. Aiko hadn't put much thought into this matter but as soon as Luna brought it up, her heart began to race.

"Well…" Aiko's face flushed red, "I haven't really thought about it…all I can say is that I feel something really strong for him," Luna's mind zoned out as she was taken by surprise but she couldn't escape the fact that she felt the same way, and with both males and females having harems being a common occurrence on their world, she felt no more scepticism towards Aiko.

"I think this will fit," Aiko who was returning from the camphouse presented Luna with a robe that was sized well enough to clothe Luna without her looking out of place. Luna accepted Aiko's kind thought and they both set out with holding hands in friendship to meet up with the rest of the group.

Meanwhile in the main room of Arata's building, the reading of Minori's notes managed to spark another, less cheery emotion in the hearts of Misao, Arata and Takumi, who uttered from the painful realization, "I- I think we should…leave a bit early."
