Unusual Oni

5 days has passed since Kuro got his new 'toy.'

The forest was messy. One where the tree kept dancing. One where the stone kept bouncing up upon landing. One were another stone, which was hovering in the air... nope, that was impossible to Kuro. At least for now.

Breaking the rules of law is easy in this world, but breaking the rules of law wasn't as simple as Insert Mana = Flight. Not only does he lack the materials, he also lacks the mana capacity. This wasn't a problem that could be solved with mana control.

Now this place was as messy as it get, it lacked one thing.

'Where is she?'

Kuro, like 17, have ignored all outside existences, and completely focused on thing called Programming. he have gave up calling it Rune Writing. Too long.

Because he ignored everything, when he noticed it and looked at the outer world, no one was there except him. Crap.

Kuro endured his hunger and thirst as he searched around himself for the Oni who have been with him. Although there's no way that she would leave him when she already said she won't, it's sad without her by his side.

'This... may be bad. Kuro's getting over relying to Ojou. If something were to happen that make we separates, well thinking of us, we'll probably Chrono Trigger this shit and go berserk.(21)'

21 muttered as he looked at himself or Kuro. Well it didn't matter because both of hem were the same existences.

"Ayame-chan~ are you there?"

Kuro lightly spoke as he moved the bushes expecting she was hiding.

Expectedly, no one was there.

Some time has passed as Kuro couldn't endure with his hunger and thirst. He picked up an fruit and ate it. Since it is a fruit on the top of trees, it shouldn't be poisonous, right?

17's knowledge didn't work here so he left it to his instincts.

As he move the fruit nearer to fruit, an wild Oni appeared, came jumping.

"Yo dazo!"

Unusual from her calm appearances, Ayame was more excited...? She was acting weird. The way she appeared from his outside his vision to right was like a horror jumpscares.

"Is Kuro, hungry?"

With a smiling faces, she teasingly asked Kuro.

"Ye-yes, I am?"

Because of her suddens change, Kuro couldn't keep up with it and unknowingly muttered a words.

"I see... Kuro is hungry! Coincidentally, I have this cheeseburger. Do you want it?"

"Cheeseburger!? Yes, yes! Gimme it!"

Kuro was beginning to get used to it and tried to match to her sudden changes.

"Then... would you promise me one thing?"

Ayame's voices suddenly got calmer as she extended her hand grabbing the cheeseburger toward Kuro.

This suddenly made Kuro nervous. When he think that today's Ayame was playful, she suddenly got calmer and talk normally. Her current self was, simply unpredictable.

"Okay."

Despite the nervous, he didn't forget to agree because he is a good boy(?)

"From now on, stop neglecting me..."

Her face suddenly turned red as her crimson pupils unknowingly made a heart mark. Then, she continued.

"I don't want to Kuro ignores me for something. I want to keep talking and playing with Kuro everyday. I..."

'!?!? Wha-wha-wha, WHAT THE @#¥&? Is Ojou seriously saying that? Wait, heart mark? I thought only Senchou can do that. Ku-Ku-Kuro, don't panic, okay? First, you embraces her then...(21)

21's virgin soul was awakened.

'Hn? Something is wrong? No, but she doesn't seem like she is forcing it, but she also doesn't seem like she is not forcing it...(17)'

Meawhile, 17 was... doing his shit?

"I am sorry! I got too focused on programming and completely neglected Ayame-chan! From now on, from now on I will play with Ayame-chan everyday... I promise!"

The same thing happened when truly talked with her for the first time. His mind turned blank out of panic.

Looking at the panicked Kuro, Ayame couldn't bear it anymore as she laughed. Her previous expressions which was like a pure maiden in love has long since gone. The heart mark in her pupils also disappeared unknowingly.

"Hahaha! How is it?! I've heard that you like this kind of thing so I did it for you!"

Making a speech with a slightly over exaggerated expressions, she laughed hardly while handing the cheeseburger to Kuro.

"Then, I'll go get some drinks first."

The speed she used to get out of the scene was much faster than when she fought the White Lion King before. At this rate, she may pass the speed of light and travel to past, smacking her past self's head before her mouth spoke of humiliating things.

"What was that..."

...

"Gaah... stupid. Stupid. Stupid. I wanna die!!"

Somewhere, where the clearly existed no waters around, Ayame was regretting over her action and her face was red of embarrassment.

"I shouldn't have aksed Botan-chan what he liked when I went to Reign Empire! And this switch... I hate it!"

She lightly smashed the grounds which caused no change to landscape.

The switch she mentioned, only occurred in front of her parents and Mio. Besides that, it didnkt activate as she couldn't manually activate it. The switch is also different. For example, it activated in front of her parents. She would be a playful children. If it activated in front of Mio, she would become a playful spoiled children. As for Kuro's case she would playful children(?)

It was because of this switch that she acted from her 'true feeling'. And it was also because of Kuro that she was forced to activate it.

And here she was. Regretting over her shameful actions.

<><><>

In case some readers don't know, her switch has activated 2 days after Kuro have began ignoring her. During that time, she traveled to Reign Empire, ask Botan what Kuro like, buy cheeseburger and go back.

Then, her switch has finally deactivated when Kuro promised her that he won't neglect her anymore. By the time she gave Kuro his cheeseburger, the [Nakirium Switch] has already ended.

As for why Botan knows it, from time to time when she comes to play with Kuro, he will story-tell her some manga from his previous world and she also like it.
