Exiting his room, Azi saw the familiar sight of Kajima in the kitchen. He was joined by Rulu who was wearing an apron as she stirred a pot of what looked like meat and potato stew. The smell of the stew reminded him of what he had eaten before in his past and it succeeded in getting the intended reaction as it had whetted his appetite. Hearing him approach, Kajima looked over from the oven to speak to Azi. "How is your fever? All better?" "I think it's gone down a bit. But I think I’m more concerned about how hungry I am." Azi rubbed his stomach to indicate his increasing appetite, to which Kajima reacted by smiling wryly. "You didn't eat much when you were asleep but don't worry, I made plenty for tonight. Dinner will be ready soon, Nosuri and Ougi came back and said that Shizu would be bringing Yashimu over for dinner. The two mercenaries are currently in their room getting changed and Shizu should be back soon." "That's good to hear. Anything I can do to help?" "Well, if you

After helping Kajima clean up after dinner, Nosuri and Ougi had entered their room to begin their preparations for bed. While they had changed into their sleepwear, they had yet to organize the luggage into the nearby closets. Nosuri's clothes mostly consisted of a few pairs of her casual attire which was a skintight white blouse that did not have sleeves as they got in the way when she operated her bow. The white blouse clung tightly to her skin which accentuated her bountiful and curvy breast and rear. To add a bit of modesty to her attire, she wore clothes that went over her blouse that looked like a coat with short sleeves with a short straight blue skirt that at least cover her hips but left her bountiful chest free due to how the second lay of clothes were not big enough to cover her. Nosuri did not mind the amount of exposure her body was presenting, but rather took pride in her womanly charms as she believed that any "good" woman would have no shame in her body but rather a

Getting settled in bed like usual, Azi was being held from behind by Shizu. This time, due to Azi's kiss on her cheek, Shizu opted to hold him in a firmer grip that made him feel a bit of discomfort. While she knew that Azi was trying to tease her as payback for what she did to him in the bath, she didn't think he would do it so openly in front of other people. In front of Kajima was fine but in front of her own family made it more embarrassing. As she remembered how Azi's lips felt as they touched her cheek, it made her feel a tickle in her heart which caused her to reflexively hug Azi with a bit more force than usual. Bearing the slight pressure on his stomach, he still chuckled as he reveled in his small victory against Shizu. Hearing that he was chuckling at her expense, she did not want this little chuckling puppy in her arms from getting too full of himself. He might be older than her but he was still her apprentice. She began to nibble on his ear to get him worked up and to

After Kajima understood the current situation from Yashimu and Rulu, he sat Shizu and Azi down inna seiza posture on the floor of the dining room. As they sat on their knees, they looked up in horror at the expression of rage in Kajima's devil-like eyes. He began his tirade about the modesty that an unmarried man and woman should have and threatened to throw them out to the streets if they continued such behavior under his roof. This was countered as Azi and Shizu explained what really happened with blushing faces. They took turns as they retold their intimate moment last night and explained how it was a lucid dream. Kajima's eyes of wrath lessened as they then explained the details and learned that nothing sexual had occurred, but concern began to mar his expression. He worried that Shizu was possibly forcing Azi down the path of her choosing by constantly enticing him with her body and antics, but it seemed that Azi explained how it was his own choice. While it was an unconscious

As Azi told Nosuri that he was going to smack her weapon around, Nosuri paled and began to back away from the boy who seemingly had an innocent smile on his face as he shouldered an enormous great sword on his shoulder.Nosuri had misinterpreted his words as a proposition to spar with him. After seeing the abnormal strength and skills that Azi had in fighting and thaumaturge, Nosuri felt as if she had little chance of victory in even a simple spar. Before she could say a word in refusal, her brother Ougi had cut in."Excuse me Azi, but if you don't mind? Could we test my weapon first?"Azi shrugged in agreement as he didn't have any objections. Sighing, Nosuri gave her brother a silent prayer of thanks which Ougi responded with a knowing nod. Azi then instructed Ougi to prepare himself to block one of his attacks. He was going to perform a simple vertical downward slash, so all Ougi had to do was block it with both his sabers.Ougi nodded in understanding and drew his sabers from the
