Chapter 70 ~ Foreign Beauty

Chapter 70 ~ Foreign Beauty After sharing a hot, loving kiss with her beloved, Mira went back to her room and put on some clothes, before returning back out to Yuuji. He wanted her to meet someone and told her to come to his room after she changed out of her towel. When he said it, Mira had several guests as to who he wanted her to meet. The first three that came to mind would be his girlfriends, that he got into a relationship with while he was in the other world. If they’re not... then it might be the members of the group chat. Either way, she was quite excited to be introduced to them. It would be a very interesting experience to meet with people from another world, and one that’s apparently extremely similar to the work of fiction in this world. Having changed into a long-sleeved pink sweater and a short, light green skirt, Mira knocked on the door to his room. “Yuuji. May I come in?” “Of course. Come in.” She opened the door, entered, and froze the moment her eyes landed of him. “Eh...? Y-Yuuji, what are... those?” Sitting on the bed, Yuuji was holding up two, tennis-ball sized... balls of slime with a bright smile on his face. The slimes were sparkly and beautiful, surprisingly so. It was the first time she had ever seen such sparkly slimes. Even those toy slimes filled with glitter was still less sparkly than the ones on his hand. But... what shocked her the most was the fact that they’re moving!!!” “They’re the ones I wanted to introduce to you.” Yuuji smiled softly, stood up, and walked towards her. He raised his hands, propping up the slimes towards her so she could see them more closely. And now that she could see them clearly, she wasn’t hallucinating after all. They were... really moving. “T-These...? Wait... Are they alive...?” “Yes they are. Very much so.” “W-What are they...?” “Ah, they’re called Yin Yang Slimes.” Yuuji then told her about what they are, their capabilities, and their names. And the whole time, the white one, who Yuuji called Alice, was jumping up and down, as if she was excited. While the jet-black one with sparkles was resting calmly on his hand. “Alice and Aria... Wait, they’re girls...?” Yuuji nodded and looked at the two slimes as if they’re the cutest things in the world. “Yes, they are. I asked them before, and they intensely denied being boys.” “Eh? You can... understand them?” “I do. We have... some sort of connection that allows us to understand each other. But, they’re also super smart, so I think they’ll understand you as well.” “Hm...” Mira turned to look at the two beautiful, sparkling, and twinkling little slimes and began to approach with her hand. She felt warmth at the tip of her fingers the moment it touched them. And they were... squishy and soft, as she expected. Alice immediately nuzzled her hand with her body. The beautiful swirls of colors within her moved beautifully like an aurora. On the other hand, Aria simply nuzzled back when she petted her. She was much calmer than Alice, but the “stars” or sparkles within her became slightly brighter when Mira touched her. Her eyes widened for a moment, before a wide smile appeared. “Ufufufu~ They’re so cute~” She began petting them more and Alice began jumping up and down, and nuzzled even more to her hand, super happy from her compliment. While Aria tried to hide herself in embarrassment, further tugging at Yuuji and Mira’s heartstrings. “Hello, girls~ My name is Tsubakihara Mira. Yuuji’s stepmother and lover~ It’s nice to meet you~” Mira introduced herself, and to her surprise, the two slimes seemed to roll back and forth, bowing towards her. “Oh my~ What polite and cute girls you are~ Fufufu~ If you ever have a human physique in the future, I would love to welcome such polite girls as my daughters in law~” The pink hue from the faint myriad of colors swirling within Alice’s white body became more prominent before she began jumping up and down even more, leaping onto Mira’s neck and nuzzling against her. On the other hand, the twinkling stars all over Aria’s body also began to increase in number and brightness, before she hid herself in Mira’s hand. If she were human, she would’ve been covering her redly blushing face into her own hands from sheer embarrassment. Mira squealed, overloaded by the sheer cuteness of these two slimes. “They’re so cute~ Yuuji, make sure to take care of them, okay? If you need help, you can ask me as well.” Yuuji nodded without hesitation. “Of course. Don’t worry. In fact, I plan on bringing them with me to school as well since I don’t want to leave them alone here.” It wasn’t only detrimental to the fact that he wouldn’t be able to “bond” with them and make them evolve, Yuuji had also fallen in love with them and their cuteness. In his eyes, they’re like extremely adorable and intelligent children that he couldn't help but love. There was no way he’d leave his adorable daughters alone at home if he could bring them with them everywhere. Thankfully, they have the ability to shapeshift into anything they consume. So, he’ll be able to bring them with him when they shapeshift into something that wouldn’t bat the eyes of a normal person. The problem was... “I’m not really sure what to make them change into so that I could bring them anywhere with me...” “Hm... Wait here for a moment.” Mira lifted up Alice from her neck and placed the Yin Yang Slimes onto Yuuji’s hands before she exited his room. Yuuji, Alice, and Aria looked at each other confusedly at Mira’s actions, before they heard the sound of a door opening and closing from her room. Then, a few minutes later, she returned to his room with something in her hand. “Here. Have them eat this so you can bring them with you everywhere.” In her hand was a jewelry box. And when she opened it, a beautiful white gold necklace with an obsidian crystal cut beautifully into a diamond rest on a pillow within it. “T-This is...?” “It’s supposed to be your birthday present. But, it seems like you’ll need it sooner rather than later, so here you go.” Yuuji looked at the necklace in awe. The diamond jewelry he gave to Mira, Yuna, Nina, and Aika, which he had enchanted with a protection spell, was much more beautiful than this. They were hundred times more expensive than the one Mira bought for him, even though it was still quite pricey. But in his eyes, the necklace Mira gifted to him was incomparably more beautiful. He placed the slimes on his shoulders and pulled Mira into a tight embrace. “Thank you, Mira... I love it.” “You’re welcome~ I thought it would look good on you, so I hurriedly bought it even though your birthday is still far~ I never thought it would be useful here~ Ufufufu~” Yuuji pulled her into a deep kiss, filled with his affection, gratitude, and love. And after making Mira go out of breath, he handed the slimes to her and tried on the necklace. “How does it look?” “Mm~ It looks amazing~ As expected of my beloved~” Alice jumped up and down in agreement, while Aria rolled back and forth, nodding excitedly. “You have amazing taste, Mira.” “Fufu~ Thank you. Now, go have the girls eat it so that they can change into the necklace.” “Mm.” Yuuji took off the necklace and placed it in front of Alice and Aria, who were in Mira's hand. “Alice, Aria. Here you go. Can you eat this and transform into the necklace? If you can, I can bring you everywhere I go and we can be together all the time.” Yuuji asked softly, making sure not to say it in a way that would burden them. He wanted them to be able to do it, but it was their first time to do something like this. He didn’t want to force them into doing something that they might not like. But the guest in question haven’t come... --------------------------------X-------------------------------- Dressed in a beautiful, pure white, one piece dress, a golden-haired beauty exited the train and immediately became the center of attention of the entire train line she had just alighted from. She was dressed in a beautiful, pure white, one-piece dress with frills decorating her short sleeves and the ends of her dress. In her hands, she held a decorated bag with the logo “Sakura Bakery” on it, a bakery famous for their pink, strawberry cake. She was fairly tall, taller than the average height of the women around him. In addition, she had lithe arms, long, slender legs, and an exquisite figure; a proportion worthy to be a top model. It was the first thing that gained her the attention of everyone she walked past. But, her beauty, her large, sky blue eyes, and milky white, almost translucent, skin, were the ones that made them freeze and look in awe. A foreign beauty. The type of beauty they’d rarely see, and a top level one at that. Many, both men and women, were completely entranced by her appearance. Some even began guessing if there would be a filming for a foreign movie around here. However, she, herself, wasn’t aware of becoming the center of attention. She was busy speaking with her mother on the phone in her mother tongue. (In German) “Yes, mom. I just got off the train... Yes, I’m sure it’s the right one... I’m sure! Geez, mom... W-Well... I did got off at the previous station by mistake, so I’m a bit late... I-I’m sorry, okay! I-I know I’m clumsy... Hah, don’t compare me to Tanya or Mary. They’re little geniuses... Okay, I’ll be careful... Yes, I’ve bought a cake for them to thank them... Mm, I’ll greet them politely... Mm, talk to you later, mom. I love you...” A sigh escaped her light pink lips as she continued to walk, following the directions given to her by the GPS in her phone. She had gotten the address from her mother’s friend, Mira. She had even briefly talked with her before. At that time, she was still not that skilled in Japanese. But thankfully, as expected of her mother’s friend, Mira could speak English and German fluently! It was incredible! She felt so relieved to have at least one person who she could speak to easily in this country, at least until she could get on a conversational level in Japanese. “Oohh~ Hey, beautiful sister. How aare yuuu~?” The golden-haired beauty, Viktoriya Ivanova Serebryakov, flinched and turned towards the young men who suddenly approached her and talked to her in broken English. He was dressed in loose, baggy clothes, chains, piercings, and leather jackets. And from his lascivious smile, she could tell that they’re up to no good... Viktoriya sighed inwardly. She didn’t expect to encounter this kind of man in such a peaceful and polite country like Japan. I should just speak German and keep going... “Sorry, I'm not interested. Excuse me.” “Wow wow! Hold on there! Wheeew~ That was sexy! What was that? English?” She narrowed her eyes when the man suddenly blocked her path and licked his lips disgustingly. “Hey hey, don’t be in such a hurry~ How about I guide you~ You don’t know the places here, right? I’ll bring you to the best places~” Viktoriya ignored the man and tried to walk past him. But suddenly, the man caught her wrist and held it tightly. “Hey, where you goin’?! Are you deaf? Did you not hear what I- WHOAAA!” Out of instinct, Viktoriya threw the man over her, slamming him onto the ground. As the daughter of a soldier, she had been raised with German Jiu Jitsu, a martial art related to the traditional Japanese Jiu Jutsu that was developed in Germany since the 1960s. It incorporated techniques from Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Karate, and various other traditional and modern martial arts. She was exceptionally talented at it, just like her two young sisters. And although she was less proficient, technique-wise, her body was gifted with immense strength, flexibility, and reaction speed, allowing her to fight even against her mother’s subordinate on equal grounds. That’s why she wasn’t afraid of confronting that kind of man. But the moment she slammed the man on the ground, she realized something that made her body shake. S-She just assaulted someone, a Japanese person, as a foreigner! W-Will her student visa be retracted?! The man groaned and slowly got up. And his eyes were bloodshot... “You bitch... How dare you do this to me...!” The man raised his fist and launched a punch at her. It was incredibly slow. But not wanting to attack him again and risk getting charged for assault, Viktoriya clenched her teeth and prepared to dodge. But all of a sudden, a hand caught the man’s fist from behind, and a smooth, manly voice resounded. “You better stop. I’ve got everything on recording. I’ll show it to the police, and you’ll be charged for assault against tourists.” “Arrrgh!!! W-What the hell?!” The man pulled his arm, trying to break free from his clutches. But he couldn’t... No matter how hard he tried, he could break free. “L-Let me go! You bastard-!!! Ah-” He turned around and stood frozen upon seeing the man holding his arm. He was immensely handsome, but what made him freeze wasn’t his appearance. It was his gaze. The moment he saw him, he felt immense pressure suddenly pressing onto his entire body. “Hm? Care to repeat that...?” His chest felt tight, forcing him to gasp for air. Every word he uttered made his legs tremble in fear. Something told him to run... Run away as fast and as far away as he could. Like the instinct of a prey when faced by a predator. “L-L-L-Let m-me g-g-g-go.... I-I’m s-sorry...” “Go. Never let me see your ugly face again. Or else...” “H-Hiiii!!! A-Alright! I-I swear!!!” The moment he let go of his arm, the man immediately scrambled away with his tail between his legs. He had already long forgotten about the golden-haired beauty he was trying to pick up. Meanwhile, Viktoriya couldn’t help but look at the handsome young man before her in shock. Not only from his appearance, but the air around him. When he confronted the guy who was trying to pick her up, the aura he unleashed was unmistakable killing intent... There was no mistake about it... It was the same air as the ones that the elite soldiers under her mother have. And to think he could control it so finely... He was no regular person. She was sure of this. “Are you alright? Are you hurt?” The young man asked in perfect English, causing her yet another surprise. Was he a foreigner as well? He does have the features of a Japanese person, but he might be of mixed blood. “T-Thank you very much! I am fine. Thank you for your help.” “You’re welcome.” Then, the man suddenly went silent and began observing her from top to bottom. Viktoriya stiffened. She had been looked inappropriately by men many times before. The gaze was obvious and unmistakable. But this was different. Rather than observing her beauty, he seems to only be observing her... features. Soon, he looked up to her in the eyes once again. And she was shocked once again. (In German) “Are you Viktoriya Ivanova Serebryakov? Daughter of Illya Ivanova Serebryakov?” “E-Eh?!” Viktoriya’s eyes widened in surprise. S-She didn’t expect him to suddenly talk in German! But he mentioned her mother’s name... Could it be...? “Y-Yes... D-Do you know Miss. Mira...?” The young man smiled beautifully and nodded. “Yes. It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Yuuji Tsubakihara, Mira Tsubakihara’s step-son. I’m here to guide you to our house.”
