CH.218: New student.

( Yuuki's POV )

The dragon woman maintained her relaxed attitude, so either this wasn't a problem for her, or she simply didn't care much about her situation, to be fair, I act the same way when exploring unknown worlds.

The two of us were the odd ones out, the elf girl was the one who was showing a normal reaction.

???: What's going to happen to me?

The elf girl looked desperate, so I tried to comfort her, I put my hand on her head, but with my appearance, it made the scene somewhat strange.

Yuuki: Relax, I can return you to your world.

???: Huh? R-really, you can do that?

Yuuki: yeah, Although it will take me some time, this was partly my fault, so I will take care of you, you can take this as an improvised vacation.

Well, the time difference between this world and hers could be big, but since she is an elf, maybe that is not a big problem, la elfa me miro directo a los ojos y ella se tranquilizó un poco.

???: how adorable~ you are a good child~

Yuuki: hey, I'm pretty sure this is partly your fault you know, and besides, I'm not a child.

???: eh?

/////////////////////////

After a short but strange conversation, I returned to the city while the two girls from another world stayed in an abandoned temple that I found in the mountains, after what had happened, I needed a completely new plan.

I sent Mythra and the others to investigate the group that had set up base in the city, and the only one who stayed with me was Grimm, who was in puppy form.

Sumire: YUUKI-KUN!!

I was returning to the Nagumo house, assuming that they wouldn't have read the letter I left until morning came, but that wasn't the case, when I was near the house, a very worried Sumire ran to me shouting my name, and she gave me a tight hug.

I looked past her and saw that her husband, Shuu, and Hajime were also there.

Sumire: Yuuki-kun was so worried, why did you leave like that?

Yuuki: I... wanted to go back to my family.

I couldn't tell them the truth about what had happened, so I tried to say something more credible, but maybe I should have used different words, Sumire's hug grew tighter, and when she let go of me, she put her hands on my shoulders and looked at me lovingly.

Sumire: I understand, but it's very late, let's go back home okay?

Yuuki: yeah.

With how kind the Nagumo family is to me, having to lie to them makes me feel very bad, but this is the best for now, as we walked back, I could feel that there was still something on Sumire's mind, but that wasn't something to worry about right now.

/////////////////////

The next day, the family acted normal, but I noticed that they were watching me more closely, but Hajime was not so subtle, while we were walking to school, he kept stealing glances at me.

Yuuki: You know, I'm not going to run away all of a sudden.

Hajime: N-no, I wasn't-

Yuuki: Someday, I will tell you why I do what I do, but for now, know that I enjoy these quiet days and having a brother.

I put on a smile and extended my fist toward Hajime, he looked at me for a few seconds before putting on a smile and fist-bumping me.

Hajime: Me too.

I knew things were only going to get more complicated from here on out, and when I was at school, the teacher made a surprise announcement that almost gave me a headache.

Professor: Hey everyone, we're having a new student today, please welcome her.

Hearing about the new student now, I couldn't help but relate that to the people who made their base in the city, sending a girl to investigate me would be the stupidest idea so I doubt they have any suspicions about who I am.

After the teacher's announcement, a foreign girl with short blonde hair and blue eyes entered the classroom, she had a proud expression, and for some reason, she immediately set her eyes on me, I tried to ignore her, but that seemed to make her more curious.

???: Hello, my name is Erica Blandelli, nice to meet you.

The girl Erica sat in the same row as me on the other side of the room but the whole time I could feel her gaze on me, When the break came I had no idea what Erica could do so I left the room quickly, I went to the roof and there I found a portal to the abandoned temple.

The girls were staying in an old house that the previous caretakers of the temple probably used.

The place looked half decent, but when I slid the door open, it fell apart in front of me, inside I saw the girls staring back at me in surprise.

The night before we made some introductions, the elf girl was called Shera L. Greenwood and the dragon woman just told us to call her Lucoa.

I didn't come here just to escape from school, I wanted to talk about the mysterious group that they had to be careful of, but before I could, Lucoa picked me up with a hug and pressed my head against her huge breasts.

Lucoa: ow little Yuuki, you came to see me~

She knew about my situation so she didn't know exactly why she was treating herself like a child, maybe it was because we were both dragons plus I'm pretty sure she's a lot older than she looks, Her attitude reminded me of Shizuka, and for a moment I let myself get carried away by the feeling but I regained my senses and I freed myself from her dangerous grip.

Yuuki: ... Don't do that again.

Lucoa: Boo, you're so bad.

Yuuki: Try to be a little serious, we have to talk about tactics.

Shea: Did something happen?

Yuuki: Not yet, but there's something I want you to see.

Shea approached us, and I took out a couple of pendants from my storage, those were illusion pendants that I created it for Haruhime to hide her ears and tail in normal worlds like this one, luckily she never needed them but now they'll come in handy.

On the other side of the mountain where Lucia and Shea appeared, the mysterious group was doing their investigation, so it was the perfect opportunity to see them in action, and judge their intentions.
