Washboard

After school, 5:30 pm.

As the investigation continues, me and this dark elf were handcuffed for the entire day. Be it the canteen, the gym or even the restroom where she takes a leak, I never let her go.

"I didn't see you peeing I swear"

"Please kill me"

The school should normally be dismissed by 4:30 pm but an urgent meeting was suddenly announced and we were called to stand in the field.

They were orienting the students about what to do and what to not in this announcement, though I didn't expect the new principal would be a beautiful woman in her 30s and with an extremely huge breast. I wonder what happened to the previous one?

We're now standing on the gate with this girl still handcuffed to me, waiting to go home. My goal for now is to investigate her and why she knows the soul essence thing.

I looked at the time ticking forward and I still wonder why we're not going yet- I just stayed here silently as she also did too without any prior saying.

Though, it's getting longer? Should I ask?

"Hey, Kojic Whitening, why are we waiting?"

"Kojic?I have a name you know," she gloomy said to me.

"Why are we waiting though?"

The ghoul looked at me eye to eye and explained.

"I actually have a cousin the same year as me, We live together at the mansion, so it's better if we went together with her"

Cousin?

"You have a cousin here at school huh? I have some cousins too but we're not really that close, Is she blood-related? "

"Yep"

"Oh, I see, mine's not"

"Is that still considered a cousin?"

"They are called step-cousins I guess..." This dark elf too has a cousin too huh.....-

WAIT, SHE HAS A COUSIN???

You mean like- Huh? There's another 1.6 billion pesos wandering here like her? But why didn't I notice earlier? I never saw her with an acquaintance when she bumped me earlier at school!

Perhaps they went separately at different times, that's why I didn't notice her.

But to think I have to meet 2 1.6 billion in just a day, that's 3.2 billion.

Hmmm...

"hehehehehehehe"

"What are you plotting?"

I just noticed it but despite the Asian features this ghoul has a British accent. But she doesn't look European at all. More like, she looks like some K-pop girl band but is a bit meatier.

A few minutes waiting...

Hmmm... No one's coming.

We've been here waiting for like 10 minutes already. What the heck is that 1.6 billion doing? Almost all the students had probably come home now.

Looking at the left side of the school, all of the sudden, the surroundings became dark. "Huh?" I opened my eyes wide seeing something like a shadow that suddenly envelops the area.

If you look above, the sky was still clear as day. The sun wasn't setting yet, but somehow my surroundings became darker.

Wondering what's going on, my heart suddenly palpitate-

"What the-"

My heartbeat is beating fast along with a thorny feeling as if a hand had squeezed my heart. I feel nauseous, I can't see properly, dizziness has overcome my consciousness.

Is this Cardiac arrest?, but I'm not Diabetic! I slapped my chest in pain and groaned.

"Argggh!"

"Crimson, are you okay?"

The ghoul asked me, worriedly going into my side and gently patting my back.

"Did you do this?"

"Huh? what do you mean?"

After quite a sudden, an artic chill crawled into my spine, suddenly stopping my heartbeat for a bit. It was cold as ice, even my blood vessels froze, It felt dark.

Black miasma slowly climbed on my body, projecting a human body while it whispered on my ears and touched my chest.

It disappeared after I tried looking at it and my heartbeat returned to normal. My blood has continued to flow, but as I breathe, I cough blood.

Memories of a sword came flashing into my mind, yet when I dive deeper into it, I can't remember anything.

This isn't simply cardiac arrest, this is-

"Yaho! Sly-chan, Kyou wa dou datta?"

Someone called into us in a language I always hear but can't understand. I turned around to see who it was, then there appeared a short-haired girl with our uniform raising her hand to call upon a friend.

My eyes opened wide in surprised, it wasn't a simple girl that I saw,- it was-

"Kuro-chan!"

The Dark elf greeted her back with a happy smiling face as if seeing her best friend from a long azz school day. But when I saw her, it was the opposite.

This Girl!

Slowly approaching us. Black miasma has been screaming like a giant monster into her body, her aura was like a deadly skeleton, wielding a staff. Her eyes were as blue like a crystal and deep as the snow.

I swallowed my own saliva in surprise, instantly brought out my dagger hidden in my backpack and chanted.

"Crescent's Blood Gradient!"

With my dagger dancing in flames, I jumped right into her.

"Moon Art!"

"Kyaaa"

I aimed a slash that forms the Crescent Moon in its blood-stained colour, slashing the neck of the atrocity in front of me. Flames started to spark and move like a chainsaw, slicing up the body. Yet to my surprise-

"The f@ck are you?"

She asked, as she managed to slowly stop my attack, sacrificing two of her fingers. My blade lost its colour and was repelled as soon as the attack was blocked.

With the sudden rush, I unfortunately took the dark elf and pulled her over with me, she fell to the ground eating dirt.

"Ahhh, !, What was that for!"

Pounded into the ground, the Untanned elf complained as she slowly stood up.

I saw the 2 cut fingers on the other girl's hand, she lifted her arm and as it glowed, it stopped the bleeding.

My eyes opened wide in surprise.

"Don't tell me you're-"

I asked.

And in an Instant, the cut fingers from her hand- regrows back to normal. I covered my mouth as soon as I discovered such ability. Realising that ability, there are two creatures that came into my mind-, but eliminating the creature that dies in the sun, I can't believe it.

"You're a Lich Aren't you!"

"Busted first day of the school hub?"

She laughed maniacally as she regrew her lost fingers and bore her fangs. She hid her other hand behind her back and leaned slightly to the ground.

I pointed my dagger in front of her face and asked.

"What's the highest of the Undead doing here in the school?"

"Beats me, How did you learn my identity the first day I entered my disguise"

The elf on the ground tried to stand up trying to process what just happened. After looking at her 'I presume to be'- cousin, she asked.

"Eh? Nani? Kuro-chan Nani?"

"Sly-chan, Ano ottoko imashita ka!"(Do you know that man?)

"Ah, hai, Washi no Classmateto desu" (Yes! he's my classmate)

Was that Japanese?

Distracted with their conversation, I took the opportunity and went a side step into the lich. Accompanied by an upward slash from my left hand- I chanted-

"Heart Impact- Sky Art!"

Flames slashed through the surrounding, slicing the liver of the lich up to her left shoulder Unfortunate that my weapon is lacking in length, I did not cut her in half-

Though I did manage to-

"Feel the power of the wrath by my mighty- OHHH"

I managed to cut off her clothes making her half-naked from the front-, She covered up her chest as blood dripped from her body. Though as one of the highest undead beings, such wounds healed off in a second as if it didn't occur in the first place.

She backed off covering her breast and told me-

"Pervert!"

"No! That was-!"

I looked into her body from her hips to chest and- damn did I notice.

"You're flat as f@ck!"

"You mother-"

I instigated her anger and she then prepared not to let go of her guard again. The Untanned elf was victimized again from the sudden drag jump and was pounded to the ground.

I asked.

"Who are you!"

"Me? My names Fuk, First name Fuk, Last name Yu, Fuk Yu"

"Funny, I thought you're Mrs. Washboard"

I prepared my dagger again as I hid it near my hips, The untanned elf managed to recover and started to stand up. The lich continued.

"At least my brain isn't tiny"

"You should say that to your chest, I feel bad for your future baby"

"You!"

The Elf behind me managed to recover and looked at us with great confusion. As she saw me and her cousin fighting, she immediately panicked, yet she couldn't do anything and stared at us.

The lich asked me.

"Can I at least cover my chest?"

"Pfft, no shit flat chest! there's nothing to hide anyways!"

"You just want me to be naked, pervert"

"F@ck yeah, Weakness is Weakness"

She stood straight and covered her chest with one arm. she then asked the dark elf.

"Sly-chan, Can you give me a t-shirt?"

I looked at the dark elf.

"Don't!"

"Eh?"

The Dark elf then asks.

"Why are you attacking my cousin by the way!!"

I ignored her question and told her.

"Do not give her a t-shirt"

"Why?"

"Just don't!"

After telling her, she then turned back the t-shirt she's about to bring up, then the lich shouted.

"Give me!"

I shouted, "NOOO"

"Give me!"

"DON'T!"

The dark elf got confused and immediately took out the t-shirt and tossed it to the lich.

"NOOOOOO!!!!"

The lich laughed as she received the t-shirt

"Huhu"

"Hide your chest, and you're still flat as f@ck!"

"STOP THE FLAT CHEST DISS!"

The lich immediately wore the red t-shirt the dark elf gave her earlier. I looked at her changing and looked back about the events that happened today. First I met this Dark elf and now a Lich?

Why does a boss-like character show up this early in the game!

The lich's fangs grew bigger as she was done changing her clothes. She stared at me with a smile at her face and then suddenly-

"Kurimuzon'ai?"

She stopped. I asked her.

"What? Can you not speak Japanese when talking to me?"

I looked for any opening all around her body. While her brief-case-like bag is on her way, she immediately throws it on the ground and forms a stance where a claw is hidden on her back, and a fist protecting her head.

I also formed my stance. With my right hand handcuffed with the Elf, I hid it behind me and showed the dagger from my left hand right in front of me.

I removed our handcuffs by snapping the chain with my fingers making the dark elf look surprised when I did it. I still hid the fact and made her assume I'm still locked with this Elf.

We both inhaled making our lungs grew wider, smoke started to exit as we exhaled, and as soon as my dagger started a flame, I rushed into her with a chant-

"Soaring thrust-"

Trails from the jump exploded in flames, as I blasted to the lich with my dagger piercing the air.

"Heart impact?"

She jumped backwards as soon as my blade almost hit her solar plexus , and landed further away from me. As I land my feet on the ground, it creates a shockwave that breaks the foundation of the soil. blasting away several dirt in the vicinity near me.

I then twisted my body and created flames much hotter than the earlier blast and chanted.

"Saber's Gradient Art!"

I used the twist to exert strength that managed to create a blazing crimson flame. It shines like the sun that can blind people who directly see it, burning the wind on fire.

The slash ripped the air as flames started to gush out the blade. slicing the lich's hand on fire as she blocks it with her hand.

As soon as I hit her, I raised my dagger above her head, and compressed the flames as they emit, aiming to strike her head.

She then crystalized her arm and blocked the dagger as soon as I slashed. she took away her sliced limb and pointed it to her sliced hand at the ground.

Crystals started forming as links to the arm and hand, and brought them together back again.

She then overpowered me and blasted me away.

"F@ck!"

"You're too early to face me!"

I blazed my dagger again and stood up, then I chanted.

"Crimson Impact!"

Red veins started to crawl to my arm up to my dagger, creating the fire even bigger. My flames were twisting at the blade and kept spinning, until it was bright red.

I thrust the dagger mid-air and a whirlpool of flames enveloped in front of the enemy. Wind blasted into my direction as the recoil of the attack pushed me back.

As the blazing fire was about to approach her, she immediately dodge it by turning back.

"You can't even hit me"

Though I was not actually aiming at her. Sniffing the air, she asks.

"Hmm? something's burning?"

Looking in front of me, I attacked her bag and enveloped it with flames. She looked surprised as she saw her bag on fire and shouted.

"Ahh, My bag!!!"

She immediately went into her bag to turn the fire away. I saw this chance as she's vulnerable and chanted-

"Heart-"

Before I managed to blaze my dagger, someone grabbed my shoulders with their arms. I turned around to look by to discover it was the Untanned elf.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"That's my Line, What are you doing? attacking my cousin on a blind spot!"

"F@ck you! Don't interrupt! "

"It's my obligation!"

She holds my shoulders, raising both of my arms in the air. I can't move my arms downwards.

"Also you two should not fight, please!"

"But she's a f@cking lich!"

"Language please! And what's a lich?"

I struggled my best by shaking my arms, licking her arms, or trying to stomp her foot. She keeps dodging, that's why I can't get away from this shoulder lock.

"That's dirty!" Moaned by the dark elf as she also struggled with me licking her arms. I want to bite it but only my tongue can reach it.

"Super Saiyannnnnnn!"

As I'm struggling, I saw that the lich managed to set off the fire from the bag and looked at us. As soon as she slowly went there I panicked since I couldn't move and shouted.

"Don't come here you stupid flat chest! haaaaaaaa! set me freeeeeeeee"

"NOOOOO!"

I pissed off the Lich again, though she didn't mind it and calmly asked Lockwood.

"O shiriaidesu ka?"

"hai hai"

I kept doing my best and even started jumping just to remove this girl's arm to my shoulder yet she's good at maintaining the position. I can't get out.

The lich came closer and closer.

"F@CK YOU WASHBOARD! DON'T COME NEAR ME!"

"Kuro-chan, nigete kure"

"Naze?"

"Iikara!"

"Can you stop speaking banzai banzai o arigato guzaimasu, I can't understand! AHHHHH''

I kept licking her arms to get away from her shoulder lock but she had already managed to ignore it and hugged me all the way in.

"Crimson, Crimson! please.... stop!"

"AHHHH F@CKING FLAT CHESTTTT! Release meeeee!"

As she heard that, the two looked at me with a poker face. Since I can't move my shoulders, I raised both my feet trying to hit the lich with a kick, But the lich stood there as I couldn't reach it.

The Dark elf then tighten her gripped as I licked her arm, I was stunned, then all of a sudden, she jumped shouting-

"John CENA!!!"

"Huh?"

She dropped me heavily facing downwards into the soil, pinning me to the ground as she held both of my hands tight together and sat at my back where my spinal is located.

"AHHHHH"

I can't move my body, She really knows how to immobilise a man. Her sitting at my back keeps preventing me from using my core strength allowing her to dominate me in terms of strength.

"I'm sorry Crimson"

"You stu- ahhhhhh"

This b:tch- She's tightening both my arms as I try to speak. I tried kicking her from the back, but she's dodging it easily. I can't even look at them directly.

As she was pinning me at the ground, the lich came looking at us as she stood there dumbfounded, the dark elf then asked her.

"Kuro-chan, Tasukete!"

"Eh? nani o subeki ka?"

"Ashi!"

"Ashi te? Ahhhhhh"

"Ahhh my azz, what are you two planning?"

I saw the lich coming close to me.

"Eh, wait, what are you two doing?"

"I'm sorry Crimson, endure it!"

"Endure my azz! what are you-, No wait , wait! don't tell me-"

The lich came closer and closer to me. I panicked.

"Don't come here Flat chest!"

She grabbed my feet.

"Oi, Oi, What are you doing?"

She sit's on it, extends my ankles, and now she's raising it.

"Oi Oi Oi- What-"

"SCORPION LOCK"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
