56 Summer Loving 14

You just stared at them for a moment. Trying...and utterly failing at actually taking them seriously.

Quite honestly, you found people who justified acting like complete psychopath's because of their tragic backstories, completely pathetic. If they went out and got revenge on the people who caused their tragedies, you'd probably applaud them.

But this? This utter nonsense? Attempting to commit genocide on literal billions, a great many of which that were innocent of any wrong doings, millions of the targets just unsuspecting children at that?

Yeah, no. This kind of mentality is even worse than that fucking asshole who ripped apart your parents. At least it made no attempt to hide it was a monstrous person, while these two retards are using hypocritical excuses to make it out as if they aren't the bad ones in this.

"You two idiots are pathetic." you spat.

The girl, Ruby reared back as if struck, while her master narrowed her eyes at you, "Oh, and why do you think that?" she asked with a sneer, "From where I stand, it's you, the human sympathiser that is the most pathetic and disgusting of all."

"Because you're losers," Moka snorted, "Justifying genocide on innocents because of a petty grudge against a few that wronged you. You're no better than the humans who caused your petty little tragedies in the first place."

"Well, it's sad what happened to you both, but I'm gonna have to agree with her," Kurumu nodded in agreement, "And not only that, you're utter hypocrites and you're going to end up dragging all of us youkai into a war with the humans when you fail to get beyond a single city."

Ruby staggered, giving you all a wide eyed look, "No, you're wrong!" she denied, almost desperately, "We witches are an honourable race, we're only doing what's good for all monsters!"

"And you'll get monsters wiped out," you snorted, "Do you really think the race that dominates the planet would go down because of a few thousand plant monsters? Humans alone are weak, but together, there's no other race stronger."

Moka crossed her arms, a huff leaving her, though she did nod in agreement, if reluctantly, "As grating as it is to admit, my beloved is correct," she agreed, "We could kill hundreds of thousands of humans and it would only be a small blip compared to their total amount, and that is only with surprise on our side. Once the humans find out about us, they will start dropping bombs that can level cities if needed, and not even we the vampire race would stand a chance against

You looked past Oyakata and met the eyes of Ruby, "You said your parents were killed by a drunk driver?" you mused, "That is illegal even in human society. Humans as a whole, are much civilised than monsters, they are an ever evolving race socially, and the vast majority stand against racism, there would be many that fought for justice on your behalf. That man is likely serving life in prison. If you want revenge, track him down and kill him, and cut the crap. Stop hiding behind one bad thing that happened to you and grow up."

God did you hate getting on a soap box.

The older girl, a woman grown really bit her lip. Oyakata on the other hand, sneered, "You speak of coexistence with those filthy humans, like that idiot running that school!" she spat, "I won't have it! How dare you try and poison not only my mind, but that of my disciples as well!" she gave a shout and punched a fist out towards you, veins rippling over its source, before massive vines burst into existence from her skin and shot towards you.

"No wait, master!" Ruby called out to her, trying to stop her.

It was tempting, ever so tempting to just rush her and cave her skull in with your fist. You're not some shonen protagonist, you're not trying to save her with your own ideals and shit like that or make her become a better person.

The only reason you didn't, is because your sensei said he would prefer them alive.

With a thought, your hand shifted into scaled claws and you swiped it through the air bisecting the thick, harder than steel vines as if they were made of melting butter.

"...Is that it?" you raised an eyebrow at her, giving a snort.

"...How?" Oyakata gaped, "I've gone beyond the physical limits of being a witch! I have taken and merged with both a Garigarious and a Hanabake and turned my very body into a focus!"

"Hmph," Moka flipped her hair, "Strong you may be, with powerful youki, but you are nothing before the might of a pinnacle S-class monster." she boasted.

"Arrogant sow!" the old woman spat at you silver haired lover, "I have dealt with S-class monsters before, very few have the physical strength needed to overcome my merged abilities enhanced by my very youki!"

Kurumu giggled, "Haha, you got called a sow!" she stuck her tongue out at the vampiress. A little payback perhaps for all the time Inner Moka called the succubus a sow?

"Watch your tongue and know your place trash," Moka narrowed her eyes at the older woman, "I could destroy you with a flick of my wrist, don't test my patience. And I did say pinnacle S-class monster did I not? My beloved could easily defeat your average vampire as he is now, the strongest of all monster races."

"...Master, what they say, it makes sense.." Ruby spoke up hesitatingly, "Perhaps we should think on things a bit more?"

The woman fell silent, for all of a moment before erupting into loud echoing laughter, "Hmm yes, I gave it a little thought for a moment Ruby, and I came up with a better idea," she gave you, what you assumed was a sinister smile as she held her hand into the air and summoned a book in a flash of light, "Clearly their power is much superior to our army, they will make an even better substitute!"

Ruby's eyes went wide with fright, "Master, no, you can't!" she pleaded, "That spell is forbidden!"
