An Update On Days Gone By

A week has passed since starting my life at Grand Kaiser Academy, and a lot has happened. I have grown much closer with the three girls I've been living with and made good progress in my training.

Luna's attitude is pretty much the same; only she is much more attached to me now due to my bloodline's influence. She's not as clingy as Fleur, but she sticks close to me whenever we're together. She's become more possessive and makes a constant effort to keep other girls from approaching when we're together. She seems to despise Haruka in particular.

I wonder. Could she be acting this way because she somehow knows what happened between us? There's no way of telling.

So far, the only people she accepts around me, besides our usual acquaintances, are Rienn and Claudia. I missed when exactly it all began, but at some point, the three of them had started to become friends. They are close enough now that Luna frequently hangs out with them outside of class, and the developments in their relationship have only enforced the idea of wanting them as members of our base crew. There's no doubt that we would all work well together.

While it's nice to see her build confidence, I'm still worried about her. Not once has she requested my so-called 'assistance.' I know how stubborn she can be. She would never submit and be forced into something, and that same stubbornness is most likely what's preventing her from asking for my help despite the difficulties she's been having. I decided to simply wait it out.

Luna already told me that she accepts the situation, so I'm sure she will eventually come to me on her own. There's no reason to rush her, and it's something she needs to process by herself until the time comes.

Not much has changed with Raya and Fleur, either. Raya and I have continued our intimacy but have yet to cross the line entirely. We mostly fool around, and sometimes she stays the night in my room after relieving my pent-up desire.

After the last incident where Fleur stayed the night in my room, I began walking her to and from her classes. It's a bit of a hassle, but I already promised to protect her and help her overcome her charm. All of my goodwill somehow ended up backfiring, and she has since doubled her effort to win me over.

I can't give in to her, though. I'm aware of the vast amounts of lust locked away inside unawakened rabbitmen, and once I give her what she wants, there will be no turning back. At the very least, I want to get her charm under control before then.

Training with Carin has been going well too, and I can now control my body activation at an acceptable enough level to start sparring. She also deemed it time for me to begin weapons training. We held off on it until now to focus on my body activation, but from today onwards, she will be teaching me her personal fighting style and have me join Fleur in archery class. Although, I'm not quite sure why she had me hold off on learning archery too. I'll have to ask her.

Mako has cut me off since our last encounter. She said she had approached me on a whim and was not such an easy woman. If I want to conquer her, then I'd have to prove I'm a man worthy of having her by my side. When I asked what that entailed, she went on to explain the customs of her race.

To put it simply, I need to become powerful. Similar to the customs of Albion, shark types value strength above all else. And because Mako comes from a noble bloodline, I would need to put in much more effort to be considered a suitable partner by her family.

The whole thing was unexpected, to say the least. I guess she wasn't affected by my bloodline as much as I thought. Well, it's fine. I responded to her on a whim as well. Honestly, I wasn't sure where I wanted things to go with her anyways. But at least this way, If I decide to take her route, it will be much more natural.

The most exciting thing that happened this past week was that Vivienne contacted me, saying she made some headway in learning about my Fusion ability. I plan to meet with her this morning before class starts to talk about it. I also plan to ask if it's okay to reveal some of the details about my bloodline to Haruka.

Speaking of Haruka, We finally started doing actual yoga poses now that everyone has loosened up. Some of those poses hurt like hell too. Especially when she had us start working on doing splits. Although I was sore initially, the results I saw were the real deal, and my range of motion had significantly increased. I've also incorporated stretching into part of my daily routine, and I make sure to do a few reps after getting out of the bath each day.

Aside from that, our relationship has been strictly professional. In fact, the woman has been avoiding me like the plague and even seems to be a bit fearful. I want to clear this up as soon as possible. She's my only ticket to entering the Foxen's hidden village and helping Fleur master her charm. Not to mention, the guilt over her struggles being my fault has been eating away at me. My initial impression of her was that she was someone with a more gentle and motherly personality. I don't enjoy seeing her like this each day, and I plan on trying and talking to her after today's class.

After planning my day in my head, I looked over to my side to wake up the girl beside me. She was wearing some cute pink pajamas with a heart design on them. They consisted of a light spaghetti strap shirt similar to a negligee and a pair of shorts.

The girl's legs were spread out, her shirt was partially pulled up as she rested one hand on her belly, and her ears twitched as she mumbled something in her sleep with a stupid-looking grin on her face.

Yep. It was Fleur.

She had begun sleeping with me more often after I comforted her that one time. She had gotten jealous after learning I was letting Raya join me and went off on a rant, saying something about special treatment and how unfair I was to her. So I ended up just letting her do what she wanted.

Looking down at her slovenly appearance, I couldn't help but voice my thoughts.

"Geeze, could you be any more unladylike?"

". . ."

"Actually, I take it back."

I quickly withdrew my statement after realizing I had inadvertently insulted myself. Luckily my mother wasn't here to see it.

"Hey, slutty bunny. Get up!" I said, shaking her awake.

"Uwawawa!"

"That was mean, Rune. You didn't have to wake me up like that." She said, looking at me with wronged expression.

"Also, I'm not a slutty bunny. You should know better than to say such a thing to a lady. Hmph!" She continued, flicking her head away while doing her best impression of our resident tsundere.

"Really? Your appearance says otherwise." I teased.

Fleur looked down at the state she was in, and her face turned red as a tomato. Because of her bust size, the way her shirt was pulled up exposed the undersides of her breasts, and the angle she had her legs spread made her panties visible through the legs of her shorts. She immediately fixed herself up and then glared at me. It's not too often that I get to see this kind of expression from her, and the whole thing was surprisingly cute.

"Bully!"

Fleur tried acting upset but couldn't keep it up for long, and her expression cracked. The two of us ended up laughing for a bit before deciding it was time to get up.

"Alright, enough messing around. We have to get ready."

"Kay~"

The morning proceeded as usual after our playful banter, and we ate with Raya and Luna before we all took a bath together. Soon enough, I was out the door and on our way to meet with Vivienne, with the three girls close at my heels.
