Alme in trouble

(A/N I almost didn't write this chapter because I slept the whole day, lol.)

(Saki's pov)

I was finally ready to meet Ryoto-sama, and the chefs had already prepared food. I heard from my maid that Ryoto is currently in the dojo with Rin.

When I arrived there, I witnessed Ryoto-sama swinging a wooden sword.

He looked handsome, even just in his underwear, but now I can't interrupt him. He seemed very focused on his task and didn't even notice Aya or me.

Rin, on the other hand, saw us and walked up to us.

Rin: "Saki-sama, forgive me that I couldn't return to you sooner, but Ryoto Yuuki asked me to train him in swordsmanship."

Saki: "Worry not, but why is he almost naked?"

Not that I mind.

Rin: "I needed to see his muscles, but... I didn't expect that he would destroy his clothes. I am ashamed that I didn't expect the unexpected."

Saki: "I see..."

Rin: "You do?"

Rin asked in surprise.

I looked once more at Ryoto-sama, and his movements were hypnotizing. I could watch him doing this a whole day.

Saki: "Say Rin, how long is he doing to do this."

Rin: "He is supposed to do 1000 swings."

Saki: "Can he do more...?"

(Ryoto's pov)

I was doing my swings still without my clothes. Before I began, though, Rin went to change her clothes to the kendo uniform that is made of two parts. Keiko-gi, or gi for short, that is a coat-like top and skirt-like divided pants called hakama.

The first 600 counted swings were easy, but after that, I started slowing down. It didn't help that every time Rin wasn't satisfied with my swing, she wouldn't count it, so it took more time than it should, but I came here to train and not complain.

I think in the end I did about 6 times the amount I was supposed to do so after I finished I fell down on my back.

Rin: "Well, you hanged on longer than I expected."

Ryoto: "If I set my mind on something... I'll finish that... no matter what."

I was so tired that I needed to take a break mid-sentence.

I have great endurance. Ask Lala for that, but making the same motions for a prolonged amount of time is tasking for the body.

On that note, during the whole training, I covered my hands in Haki just in case. I don't want to have my blood dropping by accident.

As I was taking a breath, Saki came inside with some snacks and water.

Saki: "Ryoto-sama, I brought water!

Ryoto: "Thanks, Saki-senpai. I appreciate it."

I took a bottle of water, or as the British would say, wo-tah, and drank it like there was no tomorrow.

Rin: "We'll end for today since you look like you're tired. Come here again tomorrow."

Ryoto: "Give me a... few minutes and I'll go... and give me some clothes... I don't want... to be arrested..."

After a short break, I said my goodbyes to the three of them and decided to return home for now. I made a small detour and went on a walk around the town.

*PING*

*NEW QUEST*

Mission: "Achieving Shikai"

Objective 1: Achieve Shikai before the end of April

Reward: 5000 SP, 2 gacha tickets

Failure: You'll talk with Gid about your sex life.

__________

Well, that's not good. I'll need to convince Zangetsu to help me achieve Shikai, and I didn't want to talk with him for a while, but it looks like I'll need to.

As I was looking around, I tilted my head slightly as a blade went through where my head was moments ago. I didn't need to look back to see who it was.

Ryoto: "Hey, Yami. Nice to see you again."

I turned back to see Yami with a bag of Taiyaki.

Yami: "Ryoto Yuuki, I see that you are healed."

Ryoto: "I'm as good as new. Thanks for noticing."

Now that I think about she doesn't have a job right now.

Ryoto: "How is life going?"

Yami: "...I'm spending most of my time reading. Earth has a lot of interesting books."

Ryoto: "But because you aren't taking any jobs, you can't earn any money. Are you alright?"

Yami: "...I have savings."

Ryoto: "Well, if you are in need of money, I have a job proposition."

Yami: "Job?"

Ryoto: "Yes, how about being a maid?"

A fist made of her hair flew at me, which I blocked this time with my arm infused with Haki.

Yami: "Ecchi."

Ryoto: "Why?"

Yami blushed a little.

Ryoto: "Wait, is this because you read something?"

She attacked me once more, probably ashamed that I found out.

Ryoto: "You know maids are usually just for housework and not... relieving their master's needs."

I waited for her reaction but decided to bring the reaction out of her instead.

Ryoto: "Ecchi."

I said with a big smile, but it earned me another attack.

I didn't run away but made a tactical retreat. It's not like I couldn't fight her, but it was more fun to tease her and run.

Escaping Yami was fun. Somehow like a game of tag. Expect that she tried to kill me.

Jugemu: "Ryoto!!!"

Jugemu was running right at me and grabbed me like a sack of potatoes. I was so surprised that I didn't move and allowed it to happen.

That and also, Jugemu looked stressed out.

Ryoto: "What's going on, Jugemu?"

Jugemu: "There is a problem with Alme, and only you can help her!"

Ryoto: "Too little information, explain."

Jugemu: No time, run fast."

He then made some strange noises that I couldn't understand. He probably said something in his language, and it just showed how stressed out he was, so I decided to stay quiet. If I can help Alme, I will. I don't hate the girl, and she can be cute at times, but I didn't want to start any new relationships at the moment while Lala was pregnant, but she is still technically my fiancé, so I should treat her as such. After this whole ordeal, I'll take her on a date.

With these thoughts, I let myself be carried by Jugemu.

---

Jugemu was living in an apartment. It wasn't luxurious or anything, but it was cheap according to him.

Inside he threw me into one of the rooms. He then proceeded to lock the said room, and the last words I heard from him were 'good luck'.

What did he mean-

I felt a hand on my shoulder, and a significant force forced me into the floor.

My back against the floor, Alme sitting on me, her hands on the floor next to my head from both sides, her face closing to mine. She looked like she couldn't control herself. I could see the wildness in her eyes.

Alme then pulled apart my shirt, destroying it in the process.

Alme: "Mate!"

Oooohh... I see where I'm coming into this.
