Shinobu grown up

"This is interesting"

Hanekawa was surprised to see the contract Edward made with Oshino Meme. She didn't expect the contract to be so fair. Not when it came to a possible vampire hunter was the one who proposed it.

"See, I'm not a mean manipulator," Oshino replied happily.

Hanekawa eyed him suspiciously and then sighed in defeat. But, she continued to maintain a good distrust towards Oshino

She knew that possibly Oshino was a businessman and wouldn't do a job for free. This means that eventually, Oshino intends to collect the favour he did for Edward.

"So Tsubasa-chan. Is everything alright?" Edward asked curiously, it was always nice to have someone as talented as Hanekawa beside him "there's nothing dubious about the contract"

{like a Shinobu heart?} Edward thought for a few seconds, looking discreetly at Meme. He thought about attacking the man by surprise, but for a second he hesitated

Edward didn't know how strong Meme was and didn't want to risk Shinobu's and Hanekawa's safety by attacking the man.

"Changing the subject brat, where are my members" Shinobu stepped in front calling the attention of everyone present

Edward saw the little loli a little bigger than when he saw her after saving her and thought for a second that his powerful loli would become less loli in the future.

"About that, he's here" Meme replied pulling the briefcase towards Shinobu, almost throwing it.

He didn't want to get caught up in another burst of power from the little girl.

Shinobu quickly grabbed the briefcase at a speed so fast that only Edward and Meme saw it and ran to the corner of the room.

"What?" Hanekawa screamed in surprise as he saw the briefcase disappearing from Meme's hand, "The briefcase was stolen"

Edward almost laughed at seeing Hanekawa's reaction and moved behind her before she could say anything and touched her head to calm her down.

The touch on Hanekawa's head backfired when Edward saw her shudder and heard her heart speed up.

Before saying anything, he looked at Oshino, who was seeing things at the same speed as he was. The man gave Edward a small regretful smile as if he had made a terrible mistake.

It was at this point that he realized that Hanekawa was a normal person, and he wasn't able to see Edward moving and all he could do was back off a little and stop moving, letting time get back to normal.

"Kyaa" Hanekawa jumped forward in shock when she felt something touch her head and as quickly as she could, she turned around, unbalancing herself.

She fell on her butt on the floor still breathing heavily from her fright, she looked annoyed at Edward

"Elric-san you scared me to death" Hanekawa whimpered in relief trying to get up off the floor as she rubbed her ass, "this is the second time you've knocked me to the ground"

"Umu, you have become very naughty, my servant" A girl's voice broke the ice.

All three looked towards the voice and saw a 17-year-old teenage girl walking elegantly towards them.

"Who are you" Hanekawa was the first to make a move and approach carelessly girl "I don't remember seeing you here"

the girl opened her mouth to respond but was stopped by a gust of wind that passed her, lifting the moon skirt

"Kyyaa" Hanekawa can only scream as she tries to lower her skirt because of the gust of wind

"SHINOBU" Before Hanekawa could even compose herself, she heard a scream that startled her.

The owner of this scream was none other than Edward Elric who passed by Hanekawa at unimaginable speed and jumped towards the girl who just appeared in the room

In less than a second, Edward was already in front of the teenage Shinobu and his arms almost wrapped around her waist and his face was going straight towards her breasts. But at the last second, she disappeared from the line

"what?" Edward yelled in surprise as he hit the wind

the first thing he noticed was a fist approaching his face from the side. He looked at the white fist almost reaching her face and closed his eye, accepting his fate

The white fist slammed into Edward's face and made his head spin like a whirlwind and break free of his body and be thrown across the room.

A small jet of blood flew from his severed neck and his head fell to the ground.

"Edward-san" Hanekawa screamed in terror as she saw Edward's head fly away, "what did you do"

She cried, looking at the blonde woman who was looking at her fist with a little disappointment. Hanekawa soon fell to the ground without any hope

"Calm down brat, my servant wouldn't die with something so weak" The blonde girl replied with a confident and proud tone

"Servant, that old dialect and that arrogant tone of voice... don't tell me... Shinobu?" Hanekawa almost screamed in surprise when he recognized the girl, "but you were a child"

"ka, ka, recognize me for the supposed arrogance I have, what an insult" Shinobu declared and looked at the floor where Edward was lying headless

Shinobu sat down in front of Edward's body, who had regained his head a moment ago and placed his newly regenerated head in his lap.

"My servant, silly...you've done a lot for me so far" She spoke lightly and gave Edward a light kiss on the lip, "now stop pretending you're passed out"

"Damn it." Edward opened his eyes in frustration and lifted his head from Shinobu's lap, "how do you always notice that?"

"Kaka, this is a secret" Shinobu stated

Edward then looked in Hanekawa's direction and saw her red face.

"*cough*" Meme coughed falsely getting everyone's attention" Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade, it's an honour to see you in the form of your adult form"

Meme bowed in front of the vampire-like she was someone important.

"ka, ka, brat, stop pulling my ass, what do you want?" Shinobu arrogantly declared

"I want you not to get involved in finding your members, I wouldn't want my agreement with your servant to go down the drain" Oshino replied politely

"I didn't mean to interfere from the beginning, the deal my servant made with you, I'll respect it" Shinobu replied proudly and sat down in a chair "Brat, let's play chess again"

"Y-yes" Hanekawa replied in shock, still not getting over the image of Shinobu's light kiss on Edward's lip.

She approached Shinobu looking for a chair to start playing chess with Shinobu, but then ran into Edward and froze, making his face turn red again

"dude, this is going to be complicated" Edward complained looking at the redness on Hanekawa's face and looked to Shinobu for help

The girl just smiled sadistically at him and whispered the following words not so low that only Edward heard, "turn around"

Edward sighed annoyed at how the world seemed to hate him and I look at Oshino seriously, making the man take a step back as if he's scared

"Oshino-san, please schedule the last battle" Edward declared, forcing a slight smile

"Yes," Oshino replied and ran out of the building in seconds, leaving Edward and the two girls alone.

When Oshino got far enough away from the building. He stopped and began to breathe heavily.

He put a hand to his chest and squeezed it like he was having a heart attack.

"I thought I was going to die" Oshino lamented looking at slight bleeding on his hand "I never expected him to be so smart as to notice my assassination attempt on Heart-Under-Blade and counterattack"

Oshino sat on the floor and examined his arm, which had a burn mark as if something had exploded near his arm.

"Edward Elric, you are a scary being"
