Chapter 8:
The Tale of how I was Reincarnated as a Hero but Decided I'd Help the Demon Lord Instead.
Amongst the five of us we had about twenty guld after buying food, so nobody needed to bunk up, a fact I was relieved and disappointed in.
Also Volx's rooms were infinitely better then the guild's, from the cool comfy beds, to the finished wood walls, Volx's tavern was just plan better.
The first thing I saw when I woke up was a flash of hot pink. Then suddenly Luna was sitting atop me.
" Wake up edgelord, or else. " She left her words vague but her sultry voice sent chills down my spine.
" I remember you. Your Graxia's kid sister. Wait. Why are you sitting on me!? You better not charge extra. "
Luna started bouncing on my stomach, she was a lot heavier then she looked so it was an awkward situation, " I'm here to get you up. It's bad for business if one customer takes up the room all day. "
" Congrats, I'm up. " If she didn't get off soon she would understand just how 'up' I was.
She giggled maliciously. " I can tell. "
" Don't get me wrong I don't mind seeing cute girls when I wake up. But please can I get one night of normal rest? "
She bounced even more enthusiastically, I could feel my bile being forced back up my throat. " Ahaha! You just admitted I'm cute! "
" Luna. Your too heavy. I gonna..." And with a sound similar to a clogged garbage disposal I was reunited with my supper. And so was Luna.
Luna left to get changed which reminded me that I was still in a ripped up edgelord attire, the bandana was no real loss but the fact that my nipple was almost showing was a problem.
Apparently I was the last one up as everyone else was already downstairs.
" Took you long enough. I was about to charge you for another night. " Volx chuckled but I could tell he was serious. " Where's Luna? "
" She's getting changed I think. Something about being covered in gut butter. "
Luna came down from the stairs humming gleefully. " Oh I'm sorry for the wait dad, it's just I went to wake up Tokuma and he covered me in his bodily fluids, so I changed my clothes. " Luna slightly blushed at her perverted explanation and continued humming and dancing her way to the kitchen.
I felt daggers being stared at me from every angle, Volx approached out table and slammed a maid café style omelet with a skull and crossbones drawn in ketchup.
" Uh. I don't like ketchup. " I whimpered. " You know she's talking about puke right? I threw up on her while she was waking me up. "
For a moment I heard everyone but Luna sigh in relief. Thank God for persuasion rank A.
Suddenly Luna shouted from the kitchen. " Oh my back. "
" Get out! " Volx threw me from the tavern on my without food.
I waited by the door until the rest of our group came out, however they didn't exactly seem in a hurry.
Luna came out from the tavern and I felt a chill in my spine going all the way down to my tailbone.
" Hi. To. Ku. Ma. " She said with small breaks between each syllable sending a flood of goosebumps all across my body.
" What are you doing? Don't you have work to do? " I asked with a obvious tone of bitterness and hunger in my voice.
" Oh come on, don't be so intense. I only wanted an excuse to be alone with you. " Her voice was one that I could not tell if she was being sincere or just teasing me, however knowing her it was probably the former.
" Why is that? So you can make everyone think I did something I didn't? "
" Fine if you insist on being so bitter I won't give you this lunch I made, or even fix your edgy attire. "
My eyes widened as soon as food was mentioned, I didn't even bother to comment on the fact that it was way too early for lunch.
Luna slowly started to open her lunch box and mix up the ramen inside. " Smells good right? My dad makes the noodles from scratch. It's an interesting process. "
She continued mumbling on but all I noticed was how beautiful the ramen looked dangling from her fork, blowing elegantly in the soft breeze like the leaves of a palm tree on a warm tropical beach.
" And that's about it. " She blew on her fork then ate the noodles on it exaggerating every painful bite. " Hmm. Want shome? " She continued with her mouth full so I could smell the ramen in her breath.
I felt a trail of warm drool flow down my face as I nodded completely spellbound.
" Open wide. Here comes the airplane. "
Completely ignoring her I opened my mouth and she stuck it in, the fork I mean. A explosion of flavor erupted in my mouth like a volcano, it felt as though I had left the physical world and was now ascending to the realm of the gods, because surely something on that scale of deliciousness was some kinda ambrosia fit to be served only at the table of the divine.
" Um Tokuma. I'm pretty sure you've eaten the smell of ramen off by now. " In spite of what she said I was still getting every microscopic particle of broth the fork had to offer. " It's my turn. "
Luna took the fork from my mouth as a bridge of my saliva led to it from my mouth, regardless she put it in the ramen and took another bite nonchalantly.
" Uh. Eww. " I replied at the sight in a embarrassingly gyaru tone.
She did the same as I with her saliva, and offered me another bite with the same fork. I really did try to resist but the noodles were too good to pass up, and my will was weak.
The box was empty in no time flat as we sat and ate the whole thing in the same disgusting manner. I was still lusting for more noodles but I knew all good things must come to an end.
She took the final bite and made sure to be extra exaggerating with it, I'd even go so far as to say she went ecchi.
I paid no mind to her and changed the subject. " What are they doing in there? Don't tell me their drinking, I've never drank before. " I pouted.
" Aww how cute. " Luna teased.
" Wait you too? Oh come on your younger then me. "
She put her hand on the part of my clothing that was ripped in a seductive way as she crawled closer to me. " Not that much younger, Graxia doesn't even have a whole year on me, and I know she's older then you. "
She progressed forward and soon I felt my clothing mending together kinda the opposite of what I thought she was doing. " Now you can take it off. "
" Nope! I was already accused of that once. I'd rather not make it a thing. "
Soon she was directly on top of me with her piercing blue eyes staring into mine, I wasn't particularly staring at them but they had a sort of gravitational pull, like a train wreck. " You know what they say. If you've done the time, might as well do the crime. " Suddenly she helped me up from the ground and started laughing hysterically. " Just kidding, you should've seen the look on your edgy face! You really are something else, other guys would be all over me, trust me I know it's kinda bothersome. But not you, for some reason your different, looking at your expressions tells me that it's not like you don't find me attractive it's just that your unwilling to take advantage of me. Which makes teasing you that much better. "
She spoke like my insecurity was some kinda noble thing. She must've not know a lot of virgins.
I rubbed the back of my head nervously. " I think your being a little overdramatic. I'm just too cowardly to act on my thoughts that's all. "
Luna laughed. " Don't be so modest. Hey Tokuma. " The way she spoke instantly drew my attention to her. " I never thought I'd say this out loud but I think I'm in love with you. "
I stepped back in reflex blushing like a schoolgirl. " Oh come on we barely even know each other. This is another joke right? Your teasing me? "
The tavern doors opened and Lux, Graxia, and Makono exited.
" Luna you need to do dishes. " Volx shouted from inside.
She looked to me and giggled in such a way that had me questioning her sincerity before going back insider the tavern. " See you later lover. "
" Disgusting. Twice in one day. I should kill you where you stand. " Makono growled.
Graxia put her hands over her face in disgust " My poor sister. You really are a degenerate. " she didn't even believe her words as she chuckled behind her hands at my unique circumstance.
Usagi and Lux just shook their heads in disgust and perfect synchrony.
" Oh come on guys none of you actually believe we really did anything like that right? " I whimpered a little doubtful in my friends.
" Never mind that. It's time we go. Next stop is Towyn. " Lux said beaming in positivity.
I had no idea where or what Towyn was, but everyone's troubled expression told me that I would probably not be sleeping in a comfortable bed again for a long time.
