Chapter III: Once in a Blue Moooon part 1. (1/2) 

Siegfried woke up in bed with his alarm clock buzzing, as he slept for only 2 hours. He yawned and went to his bathroom to wash his face. He then went to the kitchen, brewed up some coffee, turned on the TV, and sat on the countertop. As he sipped his morning coffee, he yawned while saying. "How long are you planning on sitting there?" he said with a nonchalant tone, "Ho-ho? You knew I was here?" a young man in his early-20's was in a white suit, blue dress shirt with a blue tie and sitting on the leather couch at the back. He was of European blood, mixed with Nordic. He has silver hair and ice-blue eyes. "Heinz..." He said in a half-hearted tone, "Morning!" he said cheerfully, "I kinda knew that would be your reaction, Freddy." He sipped his coffee and softly and tiringly, "Likewise... What brings you here?" He stood up and walked up to Siegfried. "Before I answer your question, Freddy. Can I get a cup of coffee?" He poured him a cup of coffee and Mr. Heinz sat at the dining table facing him. He sipped the coffee and ended with a satisfied look on his face. "Ahh... Oh yeah... Nothing beats a freshly brewed coffee in the morning, Freddy." Siegfried blinked and yawned, "I hadn't slept much last night."

Mr. Heinz, had a wry expression at what Siegfried told him, "That right? Yeah well, maybe it had something to do with this?!" And Mr. Heinz fixed his gaze at the TV, and he grabbed the remote and switched the channel to the news. "-an amazing feat that was completed by the Knights of Night! Last night, around 12:00 AM to 5:00 AM, the Knights Far-Eastern Branch busted an illegal drug and monster trafficking rig near the Abandoned Complexes, near Shibuya City. They rescued over 8 kidnapped Pans in the first phase and lead the rescue in the second phase-!" Siegfried turned off the TV. "Almost everything she was saying wasn't true."

He paused for a second, "I... I had help..." he said so in an uncertain tone, "I focused on combat, they handled the escorting. It made the job easier."

Siegfried stood up and went to the coffeemaker to pour some more coffee. "Hmph, Head Director Kitsune gave you too much information about me, Heinz." And Heinz shrugged at what he said. "Come on ain't we work buddies before all this? After all, I was assigned by Her Eminence on keeping you in check." Siegfried grunted at his prospect, "That is true, we have performed several major operations together but, I simply dislike the fact that I have to be kept under watch." He chuckled, "Sorry about that, Freddie, it's not that they don't trust you. It's for a little assurance for the Knight's Bureau Council of Idiocracy." And added, "From what I've read your records are... checkered. Normal people don't get to be given this level of info y'know?" Siegfried shook his head, "Obviously, you and I..." he then canceled on what he was about to say next, and continued, "Welp, according to your records, your combat skills and mission success rates are peerless, unrivaled, and unmatched." As he was tapping the side of his temples. "No one in the history of the Knights has ever seen someone like you in the past 1000 years." He stared at his coffee mug listlessly, not caring or even listening to what he was saying. "So, what I'm saying is. You are tailor-made to be the perfect assassin. The perfect killing machine, after all, he who feels no emotion and obeys every order? The kind that every government in the world is sought after. At the age of 14 in 2012 you ascended the rank of Sentinel Primus in the Knights of Night, a rank that very few people could attain, and the special position as one of the..." he chuckled at the last thing he was about to say and canceled the thought. He said in a calm yet threatening tone, "I was given special missions and assignments and not listed in a squad, division, nor even a Branch." He looked at his coffee mug and shook it a little bit, "I am what they call a 'Persona non-Grata, Heinz. Yet despite all that, I still serve." Heinz scoffed at his thought, "An unwelcomed person eh?" he took a small sip before glancing at Siegfried with a wistful look in his eyes, "I can feel your pain, Freddie-boy."

He sighed, "The moment that you said, 'Congratulations, you're a Host of the Cultural Exchange Bill!' I knew something was up. There's a reason why, I came to this country, and reasons that I won't disclose."

Mr. Heinz reacted by holding up his hands in surrender, "Hey man, if want to keep a secret or two, all the more power to you."

After a brief and awkward delay and silence, Siegfried asked, "Why are you here, Mr. Heinz?" asked by Siegfried, "I came here to check up on you two!" explained Mr. Heinz. "Checking up on what?" He had a perverted look on his face, ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) "Ohh you know... Nothing much just wanted to see if you popped her cherry yet." Casually said by Mr. Heinz. Siegfried sipped on his coffee and tilted his head in confusion as he had not heard those words before and raised his eyebrow in confusion. And he calmly said, "Popped her what? I apologize, I am unfamiliar with American slang."

Then he placed his hand on his shoulder and chuckled, "Never mind..." Siegfried's expression is still the same as it always has been: Expressionless, unresponsive, and straight-faced with a subtle hint of annoyance.

And Mr. Heinz was getting restless with his poker face, he slammed his coffee mug down, walked up, and exclaimed, "Come on! You should try to smile more often! Like this, see?" he showed Siegfried how to smile by placing both of his index fingers on the side of his cheek and pushed, and Mr. Heinz was smiling widely and naturally, "See? Like that. Now you, try it." Siegfried, who was sleep deprived, and was now running on caffeine amazingly decided to play along. He set down his mug on the countertop and tried the best he could to replicate what Heinz showed saw, and the result was rather... shall we say, interesting?

His expression was forced, unnatural, and overall just bad. And Mr. Heinz winced a little and remarked, "N-No. No. No, it's bad, you could do better, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it eventually." He assured Siegfried by patting his shoulder. Then Mr. Heinz had a look of enlightenment, as if he just remembered something, "Oh shit, silly me. I almost forgot. I also came here to tell you that a new resident will be added to this house, so thank you for your patronage!" cheerfully yelled by Mr. Heinz. And Siegfried just sighed apathetically and his indifference to his news bothered Mr. Heinz a bit. "Uh, um, the more the merrier, right? Come on. It's just for one year, so best to enjoy while you can!" Siegfried just sighed and went to the sink. "Whatever, I don't care anymore. You can send in two more residents for all I care." Mr. Heinz clapped excitedly, "Excellent! I knew I can count on you, oh, Freddy oh boy!" he went to the side of the fridge and put on his apron, "Can I refuse?" He gave Siegfried an idiotic look, "No can do! Orders from Her Eminence, the Head Director herself!" he shook Siegfried's hand and spoke. "Don't worry, she'll be a resident you'll really like! I, uh, I hope. He looked at his watch, "Goodness, would you look at the time! Well, it's about time for me to take my leave. The residents here will arrive in about the next week or so. I'll see you later, Freddie! Oh, and thanks for the coffee! Buh-bye!" As he walked to the front door of the house and left. And went to the stove and made breakfast.

After he made breakfast, he decided to wake up Lily. He knocked on her bedroom door, twisted the knob, and opened it, and to his unsurprise, it was unlocked. The room was an all-cat design, lucky cat statue, and cat stuffed toys, every nook, and cranny were of cat design with a pale pink color on paint. It made Siegfried a bit nauseous and still a disastrous and messy area. Clothes were all over the floor, and trash from fish cracker snacks was littered, in short: it was a complete disaster. He sighed and decided to pick up her messes. He gathered the empty fish cracker bags and placed them into her trashcan. He then gathered all her scattered clothes and folded them as quickly and neatly as he can, then went to her and said, "Breakfast ready." He went to Lily's bedside and uncovered her blanket, and Lily was wearing nothing but a pale baby-blue pair of lacy g-strings that greatly exposes her buttocks, and her pink tail snuggled between her legs. She was topless exposing her chest for Siegfried to see. And what Siegfried saw was the stuffed toy he won her yesterday snuggled next to her. "That stuffed animal..." he snapped out of it and tapped her left shoulder and tried to shake her for her to wake up. "Wake up." And her response was: "Nya... five more minutes, nya..." he shook his head, went to the curtains, and slid them open shining the early morning light onto her face and that did the trick. "Nya...!" and left her room but paused at her doorstep, "Wear a shirt. When you get out..." He exited her room to set the table. She finally got out of her room, wearing a white oversized t-shirt that covered the lower part of her body. She groggily walked towards the dining table and when she arrived at the chair, she slouched. They ate breakfast together, he made Omurice for the two of them, which is a Japanese-style Omelet on top of fried rice, with pieces of toast and vegetable salad for the two of them, and for once Siegfried felt a sense of peace. "Lily?" Lily was enjoying a slice of toast as she was eating her omurice, she didn't expect Siegfried to call her so abruptly and so she was taken by surprise, "Ah! Uh, yeah, nya?" Siegfried continued, "Mr. Heinz dropped by not too long ago, he said that there's going to be a new resident joining us next week." He ate omurice while he said that Lily's reaction shook her awake and was now cheering on the dining table. "Really nya?! Yay! A new resident!" Siegfried was rubbing his chin about the expenses of an additional resident here. "I hope he said that he'll be adding two residents was a joke..." he mumbled to himself. Lily had a confused look on her face, at what he said.

Some time passed and it was time for Siegfried to go shopping for groceries since the food on the fridge and snacks were running low. And brought a certain someone with him. "Nyahahaha! Grocery shopping, grocery shopping, grocery shopping! We're going grocery shopping!" repeated in a tune, Lily went ahead of Siegfried and saw a straw cat on the sidewalk, the two froze and locked eyes, "Hm? Lily?" then Lily got on all fours and hissed at the cat and the feline hissed back, "Nya...! Hiss...!" their tails spiked in hostility and she begins chasing after the cat in a circle, inadvertently attracting attention from passersby, Siegfried let this happen for a good 10 seconds before grabbing the back of her shirt and pulled then dragged her away, "That's enough, we've yet to go to the supermarket."

Now, finally finished shopping for groceries the two are now heading back, "Nya! Mission complete! We've got the goods, nya!" she said with a content look on her face, "Indeed." (Though we could've been quicker if not for Lily being a handful back at the supermarket.) *Flashback* "Nya! This is one huge fish, nya!" Said Lily while hoisting a large tuna over her head at the seafood section, "Lily..." "Nya, hey Siegfried there's so many fishies here, nya!" said Lily in excitement as she tapped the aquarium glass full of live fish. "Ma'am please don't touch the tank!" begged a male Japanese supermarket worker, then already lost interest and went to another corner of the section, whilst Siegfried is checking on the quality of the fish he was about to buy, "Hehe! This is a funny-looking lobster, nya! Siegfried, look, look!" "Lily, calm yourself. Be a good girl and stay put, understand?" her ears and tails drooped down, in sadness as she pouted, "Nya... Ok..." and Siegfried sighed and relented, "Tsk, go ahead and buy anything you want. My treat." And she immediately perked right back and with her eyes dazzling like starlight from excitement she asked, "R-Really, nya!?" and Siegfried with his usual expression nodded as he grunted in approval.

*End of Flashback*

While on their way back, they passed by a comic/manga, book, and gaming store, Lily paused and after a few steps ahead, Siegfried stopped and asked, "What's the matter?" then came up to her and looked at what she was seeing, upon closer inspection it was revealed to be a poster of a new gaming console the latest model of the DelightStation 4 by Bony, the DS4. "Nya, what is that?" Siegfried with limited knowledge couldn't provide a suitable answer, (Hmm, even I don't know what that is. I remember Heinz telling me it provides entertainment.) Though he knows little to no knowledge when it comes to things like this, then remembered that there was a little amount of entertainment back home and decided, (I think it's high time to have a bit of entertainment back home.) And asked her, "Do you wish to go inside?" "Nya? You sure? Aren't we rushing to go home?" He shrugged, "I changed my mind. Come." He went in, followed by Lily, "N-Nya, wait for me!"

Inside...

Lily and Siegfried were presented with innumerable kinds of entertainment in all shapes, sizes, genres, and forms, from manga to western comics, to collectible merchandise from popular anime series and various video games available to purchase. "Nya, look at all these! *gasp* Nya! Look at that it's so cute!" The two browsed the store, and there he saw a group of Japanese teens, with an older man who appears to be a staff member, raising a ruckus. "There by the tree! To your left! Watch out! Sniper!" there Siegfried spotted the staff member playing a game on the TV monitor, the college-aged staff member looks a little older than the high school teens. "Nya, what's all that about?" they got closer and the group celebrated as the monitor displayed the words: "You ranked 1/25. Winner, winner Chicken Dinner!" the teens who were watching yelled in amazement, "Damn! Yo, that was sick, Ichijo-senpai!" the older staff member, "Hah! You're a hundred years too early to beat me." proudly said by the college-aged staff member. "Hey, wanna grab something to bite?" the others agreed, "Hey Big brother Ichijo we'll be going now." The others agreed and exited the store, "Oh you guys take care now!" then Siegfried sought his attention, "Um, excuse me." and startled the poor fellow, "Ah!" Seeing it was just a customer he immediately calmed down, "Oh, a customer. Whew, please don't scare me like that. May I help with anything?" Siegfried simply nodded and pointed at the monitor, "Um, I wish to know about that game you were playing." The staff member explained, "Oh this? This is the latest installment of the popular FPS Game, Solid Steel: Modern Warfare. Although it is a remake of the 2008 Game. It received both positive and negative views both the game and the studios that made them." As the staff member was explaining little bits of knowledge and trivia of the game, Siegfried and Lily were not able to keep up nor paid attention to what he is saying. (Nya, I kinda don't care...) "...Wanna shoot some bad guys, sir?" The staff offered him the controller, and offered it to Lily, "No thank you, how about her instead?" And upon the staff witnessed Lily's unique features, he was slightly taken aback, "Whoa, are you... a Monster, ma'am?" and Lily nodded, "Nya, sure am! I'm a Nekomata, a Felynne Subspecies!" her tail swished in excitement and he was greatly impressed, "That's amazing! And your Japanese is pretty good, too. O-Oh, um, would you like to give it a try?" "Would I?!" She snatched the controller away from the staff, and he loaded a racing game, "Ooh..."

12 MINUTES LATER...

"Nyaha! 1st place! That means I win, right?" and the staff nodded in agreement, "Right! That was very impressive, not bad for a first-timer, aren't you glad your boyfriend gave you a try?" Then suddenly Lily's face turned red, the fur on her tail and ear spiked, and reacted violently "N-Nya!? W-What are you talking about!? H-Him? M-My boyfriend? D-Don't be ridiculous..." and went surprisingly quiet. And Siegfried cleared up any misunderstanding, by giving him his Host I.D. "Ohh, so you two are part of the Host Program? I see, I see, sorry for assuming." He chuckled sheepishly, then Siegfried approached the gaming console and inspected, "Hmm... What are the prerequisites to play this... "gaming console"?" "Not much, just hook this up to a high-definition flat-screen TV and pop it up with a Wi-Fi connection to play Internet-compatible games." Siegfried nodded, "I see..." then placed his hand on top of it, and exclaimed, "I'll take it." And both Lily and the store worker were taken aback, "Nya?!" "Really?!" He bowed to express his gratitude, |W-Well, thank you for your patronage! Oh, uh, may I suggest other games? Games that you two will most certainly enjoy alone or together?" he nodded, "Very well." They then exited the store carrying a brand-new DS4, with several other games, both multiplayer and single-player. Dusty Dirby's Illusion World, Super Assault Bros., Oppenheimer: Nuclear Apocalypse, Lavish Heist Automatic, and Blackened Souls III.

They went home by taking the train, and to Lily, it all happened in an instant, from exiting the store carrying the newly purchased console, "Nya?" to the station, "Nya?" and inside the train, "Nya...?" and by 11:00 AM they were in a familiar neighborhood. As they were walking by the suburban streets, he heard the clonking sound of hooves. "What the...?" and he looked behind him a shape of a tall girl came into view, taller than Siegfried, in fact, she doesn't seem human at all, no, rather she had bovine features such as horns on the side of her head, a cow's tail, bovine ears protruding at each side of where human ears should be, and instead of having legs and feet, she had hooves. She wore blue denim overalls and a grey shirt for her top, and she also wore a choker that has a bell attached to it. She was walking in a dejected manner, as her head, ears and tail stooped low.

Siegfried should've just let her be, but something was quite not right: If she was a non-human under the Exchange Program, where is her Host? According to the T&C of the Exchange Program, participants of the Program are not allowed to roam freely unless they have a Host Pass; as such fellow Hosts are required under a contractual obligation to aid non-humans in their needs even if they are not under their care.

"Nya?" Lily also looked back and is shocked, "Nya!?" the two paused briefly for a moment as the figure – in a daze – walked past them as if they weren't there. Lily knowing full well that Monsters aren't supposed to be by themselves garnered her Host's attention, "Psst! Nya, Siegfried!" "Hm?" "That poor girl, she looks lost, nya. And most certainly she's not supposed to be roaming around alone...!" Siegfried grunted in agreement, "Indeed..." and Siegfried garnered the attention of the roaming non-human, "Excuse me..." but she didn't hear him, for he spoke too softly, "Excuse me." Louder this time but not enough, "Ma'am, excuse me!" and she turned her head towards Siegfried, "Ah!" she exclaimed in surprise and he added, "Are you...? Are you a participant in the Exchange Program? If so, where is your Host?" Both he and Lily approached her and when the two has gotten closer look the non-human girl was a Minotaur. She has a towering height, standing around 6'9" ft., she has fair skin, a curvaceous body line, and a beautiful human face with two horns on each side of her head, and her hair reaches all the way to her lower back and her bangs cover her right eye and her hair color is brown at the top and a gradient citrus-orange at the tips. Her white tail and swaying with curiosity and caution. And finally, the defining trait of a female minotaur; are her unreasonably large breasts. (Holy crap, her boobs are huge! T-They're even bigger than mine...) "Huh?" Lily caught Siegfried staring at the monstrosity of a chest until he finally snapped out of it.

"You're a Minotaur, aren't you?" with a dumbfounded look on his face. "Uhm, how'd you know?" Said with a timid tone, "Because, you possess the traits of a minotaur. Am I wrong?" she shook her head, "N-No, you're right... I am a Minotaur. And, um, sorry that I didn't hear you and I didn't see you there." Apologetically and timidly said the lone minotaur girl. "The Law states that the visiting monsters are to be with their Hosts or Coordinator Agent with consent to go outside. So, where's your host?" the minotaur mumbled something to herself, and Siegfried was filled with a perplexed look. "Pardon?" Then the minotaur girl thinks for a second, "Oh, um, I ran away, because I didn't like them." replied the minotaur girl. "You... what?" the minotaur girl nodded her head. "This isn't good... Hold on, I'm gonna call someone from the MRPA." And gestured for Lily to keep her company for a bit. "Leave it to me, nya!" He picked up his phone and dialed Mr. Heinz, as he was waiting for him to pick up, he noticed something wrong with Mina's skin. Bruises covered her arms, and her bovine legs. (What the...? Bruises all over her arms and legs...) *Ring* *Ring* *Ring* (Why is...?) then as Lily kept watch on her she introduced herself, "Nya, I'm Lily, Lily Whiskers what's your name?" the minotaur hesitated at first then realized that she meant no harm, and introduced herself, "Mina. My name is Mina Taurus from Adamasia." And Lily had an audible gasp, "Adamasia? Nya, no way! I'm from there too!" Mina's eyes lit up as her wariness at her slowly went away knowing they share the same homeland, and finally smiled, "R-Really?" and the two spoke their native tongue as Lily expertly broke the ice.

Then he finally picked up, "Oh, hey, Freddy! You rarely call, what's up?" he calmly explained the situation to Mr. Heinz, about a roaming minotaur girl without its host. "Oh crap, you found her?! Oh man, what a relief!" confusion filled Siegfried's face, "Well, you could say it like that." As the two kept discussing, the other two were warming up to one another, Lily in their native asked, "Why did you run away, exactly?" Mina timidly responded, "Well, my Host is a horrible man, then I ran, then got lost." "Nya, I see... How horrible, come on you should come with, it's not safe for you out here, nya."

Siegfried with their ongoing call, "In any case, she's with me, Heinz. She said she ran away from her Host." Mr. Heinz sighed from the phone. "Well, luckily she also reported the abhorrent treatment from her Hosts. This is the second time she ran away too." "2nd time...? No... about these irresponsible hosts... are they going to be arrested?" Mr. Heinz laughed, "Hah! Yes, absolutely! This is a clear violation of the Law. Don't worry I'll see to it that those irresponsible hosts will be properly dealt with." He breathed in and out slowly, "I see..." Mr. Heinz scoffed, "I'm not surprised really. Racism is still a thing because they were only introduced only four years ago. Especially in a Xenophobic country such as Japan." Siegfried sighed and grunted in agreement, Mr. Heinz added, "Time will only tell Freddie; time will only tell." Siegfried suggested, "Why don't you send someone over here and pick her up?" Mr. Heinz agreed, "Gladly. Her original Host already contacted us and reported that a minotaur girl was roaming in the neighborhood. Which was his first mistake. In the meantime, why don't you make her wait at your house?" He looked at his phone, for a second before calmly saying, "Very well." Heinz nodded vigorously, "Hehe, I'm counting on you Freddie." he left the call. He approached the two who are now hitting it off, (Oh? It seems Lily and her hit it off...) "Ah. I nearly forgot to introduce you, Siegfried this is Mina Taurus, Mina he's Siegfried Silverstein, he's my Host." She giggled, and Mina introduced himself "Oh, um, hello, I'm Mina, Mina Taurus." She timidly said and he nodded in acknowledgment, "Hello, I'm Siegfried, Siegfried Silverstein it's a pleasure, Ms. Taurus." She nodded and replied. "Ah, likewise, Mr. Siegfried." He gathers his thoughts and tries to come up with a topic to discuss. "Listen, will y—" "Siegfried let's take her to your house!" Lily interrupted him, "Ah, I see... I was about to make that suggestion." Softly said by Siegfried, "Nya, will you come with us, Miss Taurus?" asked Lily, and as she was about to speak, a loud growl was coming from her stomach. Her face reddened from embarrassment and grunted. "Come. I'll make you something. My house is nearby."

After they got back, Lily welcomed the minotaur girl to their home. "Miss Taurus, welcome to our humble abode!" she stepped inside, and quietly said, "Pardon for the intrusion..." as she took a step inside, Mina due to her towering height didn't anticipate the size of the door and accidentally hit her forehead, "Ah! Ow..." "Oh my gosh, are you ok nya?" she rubbed her reddened forehead, "I-I am, Miss Whiskers." "Lily, entertain her for me." She saluted, "Roger that, nya!"

He went to the kitchen to place the groceries in their proper places. He placed the meat, fish, and poultry, in the freezer. He restocked the veggies, milk, eggs and sodas, and yogurt drinks, and the snacks placed them on the cupboards. Everything they need and wanted he bought them. As for the newly bought gaming console, he placed it in his bedroom for now. Then went back to the kitchen to make something for Mina. While Lily and Mina were getting to know each other in the living room. "Nya!!! You're huge! You're a minotaur right, nya?" shrieked from surprised by Lily. "Um, yes I am. You're a Felynne?" asked Mina. "Nya, I am! I'm a Nekomata, Felynne subspecies." She shuffled nervously, "Miss Whiskers, thank you for inviting me into your home, me a complete stranger..." She timidly said. "Nya! Don't sweat the small stuff, Miss Taurus. Make yourself comfortable!" Lily welcomed Mina at their home. "Nya..." she stared at Mina's ginormous "assets". "Oh um..." she fidgeted in embarrassment. "Ah! Sorry about that. Your chest is huuuge, nya! Doesn't it hurt your back, nya?" embarrassed as she is, she tries her best to answer her question. "Um, we Minotaurs have evolved to have stronger backs and denser spines compared to other species."

She nodded at her answer. "Nya, so, do you produce milk, nya?" she thought for a second and answered. "Um, yes, we do. If we start to produce milk, it generally means we minotaur girls are hitting puberty." She nodded her head in acknowledgment, "I see, nya. This is very useful information." And she added, "Oh, uh, also, our breasts swell up from the milk stored inside so we have to milk them every day, if they aren't milked, they swell up to the point that they're painful." She nodded her head vigorously, about learning new things, "Hehe, thanks for sharing, Mina! It's like we're friends already!" Lily smiled cheerfully at Mina, and Mina finally smiled for once. "I agree, Ms. Lily." They both smiled and had fun talking to each other. "Say, I hope it's not too much nya, but can I call you by your first name? I'm not exactly a fan of this 'Miss' 'Mister' formality business." And Mina smiled, "I'd be glad to!" "You can call me, Mina." And Lily raised her arms up high, "Yay! You can call me Lily, Mina."

And Lily asked, "I hate to bring this up, Mina but... where's your Host?" and when she asked that Mina's face turned dark. "I... ran away... because of the way they treated me. I hated it..." and she covered her face with her hands, and Lily comforted her by rubbing her head, "Aww... There, there." As she said that, Siegfried set down a plate of nutritious Caesar Salad from the vegetables and chicken he bought earlier, a large bowl of rice, a thick slice of tuna with a creamy sauce, multiple slices of freshly made Chicken Katsu with teriyaki sauce sprinkled on top of it, a glass of iced-tea and two pieces of toasted buttered bread. "You do know that if there's unfair treatment on the monster itself, you can report them to the MRPA or the Monster Rights and Protection Agency." Lily agreed, "Nya that's right, you can report your Host for violating the Law that he/she agreed to follow." Calmly explained by Siegfried and added, "If there is sufficient evidence of their abuse then they will be arrested and charged."

He clicked his tongue with disgust, (Tsk. Harsh treatment, huh?) and shook his head disapprovingly at the idea, and Mina sighed and spoke. "That's why I ran away. He's more of a monster than any monster in the world." Siegfried grunted at what she said. "Here, eat. You are hungry, right?" she accepted, "Um, thank you..." She was udderly shocked (get it?) that he made a beautiful and exquisite meal for her. The growling on her stomach became even louder when she first smelled and saw the meal Siegfried presented to her. "T-There's so much, are you sure? For a complete stranger like me?" He scoffed, "Stranger?" Siegfried repeated, "You're friends with Lily now are you not? Therefore you are not a stranger anymore." Mina's eyes widened at his remark and Lily just smiled warmly with a hint of annoyance, (Damn it, look at him looking all cool again.) "T-Thank you for your kindness Mr. Siegfried." She picked up the utensils and took a slice of Chicken Katsu, as the exquisite sweet and savory scent wafted into her nose, she placed it to her mouth and is introduced to an otherworldly experience of flavor, Mina who never had a tasty meal in a while relished the deliciousness of her meal, "It tastes so delicious, Mr. Siegfried." So much so that a tear ran across her face. He nodded, with his usual expression, "Siegfried... Siegfried will do just fine. And I'm glad, you like it Ms. Taurus, now eat."

Subject: Monster species and their classifications

"It is rather difficult to classify a monster per species, as everything we knew about Taxonomy, the science of classifying living things was thrown out the window with their re-introduction. We have monsters, particularly the Minotaur whom we can't seem to fit either in the Kemonomimi section, or Werebeasts. As the females themselves have human-like heads, faces and torsos, and arms, at first, we were able to classify them as 'Kemonomimi' then we later found out that some monster species have sexual dimorphism and the males and females look vastly different from one another. The males themselves have a bull's head, a human torso and arms, and a bull's hooves. We're currently working to update and improve our system of monster classification."
