Christmas with the crepe goddess [Bonus]

Christmas Day, 2025,

"Merry Christmas, everyone!" Harumi cheered as everyone gathered in the main hall for presents.

With the mansion having returned to Japan following the London incident back in Spring 2023, things had been very peaceful for the girls.

"A shame Ryokoma's closed today, but I guess we can visit the Christmas light cul-de-sac and see all those beautifully decorated lights," Madoka smiled.

Christmas light cul-de-sac was a famous housing development the Ginkawas had helped fund. It was situated on it's own island within Tokyo Bay. It was said to mimic the Decemberville project in America, funded by a company known as Jantar.

"Sure was nice for things to be peaceful this year, compared to how hectic they were last year thanks to a certain bastard kidnapping me on our trip to Hawaii. Seriously, every dang trip we go on, someone gets kidnapped. Think I'm content with just staying in Japan with how things are," Serika grumbled.

"Whelp, that's why we have Ryokoma, so yo have everything you ever want, and a vacation or three, all just a boat ride away," Madoka smiled.

"I remember the incident. If I recall, Akuma Okuma suddenly showed up as we were heading to the beach and snagged you," Emeri frowned.

"And then we gave chase," Yuni added as everyone began to reminisce.

...

June 5th, 2023,

While walking to the beach, the girls found their path blocked by a stringbean of a man with long finger nails, pale green hair, and a long wavy mustache.

"Akyakyak! Look who I happened to find. I've been looking for you, Mao!" the man shouted as he lunged for Serika, snatching her up in the blink of an eye.

"PUT ME DOWN!" Serika yelled as she tried to resist, but found herself quickly overpowered by the man's grip.

“SHUT UP YOU BITCH!” the man yelled as he suddenly began kicking through the sky.

“The hell even are you, you freak!?”

“Oh, you don’t even recognize me by instinct? I’m Akuma Ookuma, Mao.”

Serika went pale upon hearing the revelation.

“I heard you’ve been quite rebellious, I’ll be judge and jury when I put you on trial for the taboos,” Akuma screeched.

“GO TO HELL YOU PIECE OF SHIT!” Serika spat.

Akuma briefly landed and proceeded to gag Serika.

“Much better,” he sneered before taking off again.

However, Madoka was in hot pursuit all while carrying Emeri and Yuni with her.

"What!? You can chase after me, and while carrying two people!? What experiments did the Ginkawas pull off to achieve such a feat," Akuma fumed as he pulled out a smoke bomb and activated it, giving him a chance to get away. "AKYAKYAKYAK! They'll never guess where I'll be taking you, now!"

However, unbeknownst to Akuma, Serika's hat had a tracking device in it. This allowed Madoka and co to track Serika... to an active volcano.

“There’s gotta be a hidden entrance. Hey Madoka, do you think you could open it simply by kicking it?” Yuni asked.

“Madoka kick!”

Nothing happened.

As Madoka shrugged and walked away, the door suddenly begun to open. After hiding to make sure the coast was clear, the three instantly ran inside before the doors closed.

“We’re in enemy territory now. Be alert,” Emeri warned.

As the girls ventured forth, they noticed a giant sleeping baboon with two swords on his belt.

Madoka stealthily lead the girls past him and through a door.

“The hell was that?” Yuni whispered.

“Probably an Illumous experiment,” Emeri grumbled.

“It would be a problem if he wakes up though. I think he’s strong,” Madoka warned.

The girls continued to descend until they reached another room. This time, it was guarded by what appeared to be a tiki in a winter coat.

“Well that’s an odd one, though it looks like he’s awake. Any ideas?” Yuni whispered.

“He’s strong, but not as strong as the monkey. Not sure if I could take him though. That spear would probably get me first,” Madoka grumbled.

“I’ve got an idea. Madoka, Yuni, close your eyes. Open them when I grab your wrist,” Emeri ordered.

Emeri whipped out her phone and attempted to hack into the base.

“Lights shouldn’t be too difficult for just one room. There!”

The lights suddenly went out, catching the tiki by surprise. Madoka and Yuni opened their eyes and guided Emeri as they stealthily maneuvered through the room. The tiki walked forward looking for the light switch, allowing the girls to get through the door he was guarding.

The girls continued until they noticed two doors, each with windows. They peered through the windows of each one.

One lead to a room with a sleeping polar bear, while the other lead to a large arena.

“I think I see someone chained up in the arena. It might be Serika,” Yuni whispered.

Indeed, it was Serika, and before her was Akuma.

“Time for your trial, Mao,” Akuma sneered as he ran his sharp fingernail down Serika’s cheek. “Did you kill Ruchi Ookuma?”

“MMPH MMPH!” Serika glared.

“Your eyes say yes. Now, was it simply out of desire for power or did you do it to betray Illumous?” Akuma asked as he pulled back Serika’s gag.

“Fuck Illumous!” Serika spat.

Akuma put her gag back in place as he wiped her spit off him.

“Well, you heard her. Though sadly I do need to continue my lineage. So, I guess I’ll slowly torture her to death and have her produce an heir. Guess that’s nearly a year you’ll be stuck here.”

“MMPH NGH MMPH [YOU SICK FUCK]!” Serika roared.

“I will return in a few hours. For now, I’ll leave you with this!" Akuma cackled as he prepared to deliver a slash to Serika's face.

"MADOKA KICK!"

"AKYAH!?" Akuma cried as he suddenly found himself rolling away.

"The rescue team is here," Yuni smiled as Madoka freed Serika instantly.

"How dare he try to scar you," Emeri glared as Akuma stumbled to his feet, pissed.

“Let me handle this shit head. I need to pay him back for making my life miserable,” Serika growled as she cracked her knuckles.

The other girls assumed battle positions as Akuma began cackling. “My nails can slice through solid stone. But let me give you a firsthand demonstration of how easily they slice through flesh!”

Suddenly the ground began to shake causing everyone to struggle to maintain their footing.

“Don’t tell me it’s gonna erupt!” Yuni shouted.

As Akuma regained his footing, his face made contact with the bottom of Serika's sneaker sending him tumbling towards the ground. His nails managed to nick Serika’s ankle, causing blood to trickle out, yet she powered through the pain and landed a punch, sending Akuma flying towards the edge of the platform. Akuma dug his nails into the ground, stopping himself from going over the into the lava.

"Not good enough!" Akuma cackled as he slowly raised his nails from the ground.

Yuni then picked up a rock and threw it at Akuma. Akuma effortlessly deflected the rock, as Serika went on guard. Madoka then grabbed some rocks and began hurling them at Akuma from the side. Yuni also grabbed some rocks and threw them at Akuma from the other side along with Emeri.

Akuma, seeing an opening, decided to attempt to leap over Serika, however, the volcano began shaking, messing up his jump. Serika then charged at him once more, however, Yuni suddenly dropped her rocks and began running towards Serika. Akuma prepared to slice Serika, however, Serika slid down and landed a kick on his crotch, sending him flying into the air.

As he recoiled in pain, Akuma accidentally stabbed himself with his own fingernails, completely messing up his rhythm, leading to him hitting the edge, face first and bouncing into the lava.

Serika stood still and watched as Akuma screamed in pain as he melted to death in the magma. Suddenly, the ground Serika was standing on began to collapse. As Serika began to fall, Yuni grabbed her arm, groaning and gripping as tightly as she could. Madoka ran over to help, however, she wasn’t needed, as Yuni tapped into her inner strength and hoisted Serika to safety. The girls then ran off the crumbling platform to the safety of the room above.

"I think this finally makes us even for London," Yuni panted.

“Yeah, guess you’re FINALLY capable of saving my ass,” Serika smiled.

"I'm so sorry! I should have rushed in for the save! Thinking about what could have happened if Yuni wasn't paying attention, or wasn't strong enough to hoist Serika up-"

"Just calm down, Mado-chan. We still gotta get out of here," Emeri grumbled.

As the volcano began to shake once more, the girls noticed the door to the room the polar bear had been in was destroyed, and the room was empty.

“I guess he made a break for it. Come on, things should be easier this time around,” Madoka smiled.

Just as Madoka said, things were easier. The tiki and baboon had fled, meaning the girls didn’t have to worry about them. The only obstacle that remained was the entrance door. Emeri whipped out her phone as the others looked around for a mechanism to open it.

“There!” Emeri shouted as the door began to open.

The girls ran out as rocks began to fall. Serika began to grimace in pain and stumbled. Madoka instantly scooped her up and princess carried her as she ran.

“You’re stealing my girl,” Emeri pouted.

“Hey, I’m saving your girl. That cut she got on her ankle’s finally starting to affect her,” Madoka retorted.

“Ladies, ladies, no need to fight over me,” Serika laughed.

"Cant wait to tell Okaa-san you're a playgirl now," Yuni jibbed.

The girls soon made their way back to base camp and decided it was best to return to Japan shortly after.

...

Back in the present, everyone finished reminiscing about the volcano adventure.

"I'm glad that ninja training helped strengthen my muscles," Yuni smiled.

"If they didn't we both might've been fried," Serika shuddered.

"I think I could have gotten there in time," Madoka smiled.

"This is why we keep our distance from crumbling volcano platforms," Emeri sighed.

"And to be more attune to injuries. You're lucky your foot didn't give out earlier," Fubuki scowled.

"Yeah, yeah. We'll hunker down here and chill," Serika grumbled.

"Nothing wrong with a lava bath, though," Tetsuka mumbled as she began eating some silverware.

"Not everyone's built like you," Madoka pouted.

"Alright, how about having our little escape witch perform some Christmas magic?" Harumi smiled.

"After my show last night? Why would I say no!?" Madoka smiled as she leaped up and pulled out a magic wand, bringing smiles to all in an instant.
