Chapter 275 ( Kagamiin Ryōko - III )

"Hmm..." - Ryōko just shook her head as she decided to put the topic aside - "If you're aware of the situation, then it makes things a lot easier... tell me.... What do you think about...?"

"I'm sorry I refuse" - Cloud replied calmly.

". . ." - Ryōko frowned when she heard this because she didn't expect this answer - "Motive?"

"Let's just say I didn't like the idea of my actions being governed by something as simple as a prophecy... it makes me feel like all my efforts are for nothing" - Cloud replied neutrally - "And let me tell you, it's not a pleasant feeling..."

"I understand..." - nodded Ryōko while looking at the boy with a smile on her face - "But at the same time it's not as bad as you think, I mean, it's not every day you can have both mother, and daughter by your side."

"Oh, believe me it's much more common than you think" - Cloud replied while remembering the sensual bodies of Saya and Yuriko.

Ryōko frowned when she saw the boy's reminiscent expression, though she quickly decided to ignore it to continue the conversation - "I can also give you absolute control of the Kagamiin clan.... I'm sure we'll have something that interests you among our treasures."

"I have riches enough" - Cloud replied.

"It's not polite to refuse a lady over and over again, Cloud-kun..." - Ryōko said with clear irritation - "More so when she is inviting you to her bedchamber."

If Ryōko was honest with herself, she was starting to feel a deep irritation with the boy in front of her because he was making her feel that she wasn't as beautiful as everyone had told her - "Tell me, what part of me makes you feel reluctant to the idea of accepting my proposal? Is it that I'm not beautiful? Is it that I'm not good enough for you?"

"It has nothing to do with aesthetic sense" - Cloud answered because it was obvious that Ryōko's beauty was at the peak of this world, just as Chifuyu, Shizuka and Yuriko were in their respective worlds - "Let's face it, there are few women who can compare to you, the closest being Kyōka who loses to you just because of the aura of maturity that surrounds you."

"So?" - Ryōko asked while frowning.

"Where's the fun if I tell you?" - Cloud asked with a half-smile - "If you find out the reason, I might accept your proposal."

". . ." - Ryōko was silent as she pondered for a few seconds - "Ok, I'll play along with your game this time... let's see how this all works out."

"Consider it a little game between us" - Cloud replied calmly before retreating, leaving the woman all alone.

"Ok, time to get my head around my proposal..." - Ryōko muttered as she walked towards her room because she was honestly starting to feel cold.

* * * * *

"Let's see how long it will take her to figure it out..." said Cloud as he saw a small notification screen telling him that there were two days left before he could leave this world, more than enough time for Ryōko to manage to come to her conclusion - "If she doesn't make it, then it means that she didn't have the talent to be able to accompany me..."

Cloud slowly walked towards his room as a small smile appeared on his face - "Ok, you can come out now."

". . ." - Erin slowly appeared from behind one of the trees as she looked closely at the blond.

"I was hoping you'd be with the others at their party" - Cloud said as he watched the stoic silver haired girl.

"Let's just say I'm not too happy with the topic of conversation..." - Erin replied in her melodious voice.

Cloud wouldn't admit it, but she had the most beautiful voice he had never heard before, not even the singers of the different worlds he has been to, have had a voice as melodious as hers - "I see.... And might one know what they're talking about?"

"Breasts" - Erin replied as she looked down at her modest chest.

"Oh... I see..." - Cloud nodded as he claimed to change the subject. It was obvious that he understood how Erin was uncomfortable with the conversation when 80% of the members of her group had breasts that were honestly the envy of Nangokuren, especially Asuna and Shizuka, they had breasts that made even some teachers envious - "By the way, I'm still surprised that you can talk so normally in such a short time... I guess Shizuka has been a good influence on you."

". . ." - Erin was silent for a few seconds before nodding - "Shizuka-san has helped me on many occasions during these months, to the point that I'm grateful... although I still can't talk much to strangers..."

"That's normal, so you don't have to get a complex" - Cloud replied as he shrugged - "Anyway, I'd better retire... I'm a bit exhausted from the combat...

"Ok..." - Erin nodded before disappearing into the shadows.

". . ." - Cloud was silent until he felt the girl's presence disappear completely - "Ok, I better go get some rest because I feel like tomorrow will be much worse..."

* * * * *

A new day had arrived for Nangokuren and the news of how Cloud had managed to gain dominance of the high school had already spread. There wasn't a student or teacher who didn't know about how Cloud had managed to defeat the strongest man in the world, it wouldn't even be a surprise if the various martial artists of the world knew about it as well.

"I knew it, this is annoying..." - Cloud muttered as he watched as a line of Martial Artists that seemed to be endless.

"It's my turn to fight you!" - exclaimed the first in line, a man who seemed to be a bear because of how stocky and hairy he was - "Let's see what level the guy who managed to defeat Yonemitsu is!"

Cloud could only grab the bridge of his nose as he started to release all his mana - "Ok, let's make this quick... I have a lot of things to do and little time..."

"Oh..." - the bear-like man could only say that before he felt everything around him being consumed by darkness.

"Okay, who's next?" - Cloud asked with a neutral expression.

"I think you've made your level clear" - said Yonemitsu as he walked over to where Cloud and the others were - "Besides... it's class time and Cloud Strife-kun is running late because of you, so, as headmaster, I guess I'm going to have to punish you for disrupting my young pupil's learning."

The Martial Artists ran off when they saw this because even though he was defeated, Yonemitsu was still the second strongest man in the world. With what they managed to see was more than enough to prove the boy's power as well as his enormous potential.

"Hmph, those idiots always run..." - Yonemitsu snorted disdainfully, only to be surprised to see a few familiar faces - "Oh? It's a surprise to see you three together."

"We just came to see what kind of person it was who managed to defeat you, you old curmudgeon" - snorted an old man disdainfully - "But seeing the boy's talent, I'm no longer as skeptical as when I first came to Nangokuren."

"I think the same thing" - replied a second old man - "Me thinking you had weakened so much that a shrimp would come along and defeat you, now I see I was just overthinking it."

". . ." - the only woman in the group, an old woman just nodded as she looked at Yonemitsu.

"Did you miss me, Sakura?" - Yonemitsu asked with a smile, only to groan in pain as she felt the old woman's fist on her stomach - "Ok, that serves me right..."

"For the next time you try to fight to the death, you'd better tell your wife... at least I'll be able to buy you a life insurance, you old jerk" - said the old woman named Sakura - "Now... tell me where is that perverted grandson of mine... I've heard things I didn't like about him and now I'm going to teach him a little bit about how to treat a lady..."

"Run, Kamui! Run!" - Yonemitsu exclaimed as he watched his wife run towards the inside of the High School.

"Shit!" - Kamui exclaimed, who was trying to peek into the girls' bathroom when he felt a shiver run down his back.

"Who's in there!" - A girl exclaimed from inside the changing room.

". . ." - Kamui paled as he heard the girls come out of the bathroom.

"A pervert!" - One of the girls exclaimed.

"Wait for a second! He's Yonemitsu-sama's grandson!" - exclaimed another girl.

"H-Hello, girls!" - Kamui exclaimed with a huge smile.

"That doesn't matter, he's a pervert and must be punished!" - exclaimed another girl.

"I knew I'd find you here, Kamui!" - An older voice exclaimed.

"Shit, it's my grandmother!" - Kamui exclaimed in terror when he felt the familiar presence behind him - "H-Hello, granny..."

"I'm sorry for the trouble my grandson has caused you ladies... I promise I'll give him the corresponding punishment so he won't repeat these actions again" - said Sakura as she looked at the girls with a smile, then looked at her grandson - "I see the last punishment wasn't enough, so let's raise the level..."

"No!" - Kamui exclaimed in terror - "I'd rather they punish me!"

"We'll leave it in their hands" - said the girls as they made a small bow in front of the older woman.

"Ok, I promise you that my grandson will be punished severely this time" - replied Sakura as she dragged poor Kamui away.
