Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha:Volume 2 Chapter 2

Holding heightening Feelings

Part 1

Eating delicious Yakiniku with Takigawa and the school nurse Hasegawa.

Then made to play an erotic game by Maria, which Mio got wind of and fiercely scolded them for it. Now the next day.

At the Hijirigasaka Academy during lunch break, Toujou Basara was surrounded.

It took place at the deserted backside of the school building with the inner courtyard. With his back to the wall, more than ten male students stood so that he couldn’t escape. Since Takigawa was absent from school today, Basara had headed for the school store alone at lunch break, where he was intercepted with “You’re Toujou, right?” in the hallway, like a detective found his suspect. Before he could even nod, both his arms were grabbed and he was dragged away. Well, Basara himself wanted to confirm something, so he didn’t mind that, but

“Uhm… Do you need something from me?”

Since they were his seniors, Basara asked with a polite tone.

…So I say, but,

He could mostly guess why it came to this. Naruse Mio, his little stepsister, and Nonaka Yuki, his childhood friend. Both his classmates as well, they were something like idols in the school, respectively called “Princess Mio” and “Princess Yuki”. Since Basara only transferred here recently, he didn’t know much about the affairs at school, but according to Takigawa, they even had some passionate fans. And,

“It seems you’re living together with Princess Mio… I hope you’re not doing anything funny to her?”

“We heard our Princess Yuki hugged you, but are you really just childhood friends?”

Two guys, apparently each the leader of the Mio and Yuki factions, asked him that. These words were surely based on the fact that they considered Mio and Yuki to be theirs.

…Still, such guys were really around, huh.

The lively type, the serious type, the rustic type and the slightly frivolous type. There truly was a rich variation amongst Mio and Yuki’s fans. But right now these guys were one at heart. The looks filled with hostility aimed at him told him that hard and fast.

That said, these eyes weren’t of someone, who was manipulated or lost one’s sanity.

…A man’s jealousy wasn’t too be underestimated, but this should work out.

Extreme emotions gave openings that were easily exploited. Basara had once checked out what kind of guys were Mio and Yuki’s fans, since it was thinkable that they were manipulated by the enemy devils that were after Mio, and at least the guys in front of him weren’t a problem.

---Well, considering Mio’s future, it would be safer to dissolve these groups.

And--- Basara, even in his current state, could overwhelm this number of ordinary guys.

Basara confirmed the position and breathing of the male students in front of him and simulated their action in his mind.

He would knock out the nearest guy by stepping one step forward and ram his palm into his chin, then he would make the dumbfounded guys on the right and left faint with a strike to the abdomen. During the opening due to the other flinching, he would move forward, where he would make use of the charge from the opponent, who finally started moving, on the very right and throw him to the left. There he would collapse into two others. Closing the distance to the remaining five at once with a top speed, he would use the knee of the stiffed up guy in front of him for a jump. Extending his jump by kicking the back of the guy’s head with his sole of the foot, he would land behind the two leaders, who stood at the farthest back, and knock them out with a strike of the side of the hands to their necks. Seeing their leaders collapse onto the ground, the last two guys would lose their will to fight. With a light threat then, he could make them give up on Mio and Yuki. But,

…That’s certainly going too far.

Basara was no longer a Hero that prioritized his mission over anything else. He had decided to protect Mio, but only as a family. And above all, Basara had no right to deny the love of these guys in front of him. No guy beside Takigawa would really talk to him, even under normal circumstances. If he were to make a wrong choice here, it wouldn’t be as bad as in the game he played with Maria last night, but it would worsen his isolation and give his high school life that had only just started a BAD END, giving him the secret slogan “Forever Alone”. Thus, staying docile without running away would be for the better. Knowing the attitude he was supposed to take, Basara stayed silent, whereupon

“Hey, say something…!”

As expected, one guy, losing his temper, tried to grab Basara.

“Mh? What are you guys doing there?”

Suddenly a voice came from above. On a look, there was one male teacher looking down from the passage on the second floor.

It was Sakasaki Mamoru, the homeroom teacher of Basara’s class. Seeing him, the male students

“Tch… We ain’t doing anything.”

saying so with a click of their tongue, then left together, leaving Basara behind. Apparently they would let him off the hook this time. Sakasaki watched after them, then

“Geez, Naruse and Nonaka’s fan sure are out to get you, Toujo.”

“Yeah, well… Guess so.”

Basara looked up to Sakasaki after giving an agreeable response.

“But you saved me, Sensei. Thank you.” “I didn’t do anything. Actually I should have given them a proper warning, but I wouldn’t want your situation to get any worse because of it.”

said Sakasaki with a wry smile.

“But if they do something to you… no, if it seems they’ll do something to you, then tell me right away.”

“…Yes. Thank you.”

When Basara replied with a nod, Sakasaki said “See you” and disappeared into the passage.

“Now then… I gotta hurry to the store.”

He didn’t really want to attend the afternoon classes without having had lunch. He headed there in hope that something wasn’t sold out yet.

“---Basara.”

A calm voice called him to a halt. The girl appearing from the shadows of the tree in the inner courtyard was

“Yuki… I see. You called the teacher.”

“Mm, because I thought it would be better than coming out myself.”

Yuki nodded. Indeed, some of them were fans of Yuki. Before making things more complicated by having Yuki carelessly cover for Basara, it was better to have Sakasaki, a third party, to intervene.

“Thanks for the help… What’s up?”

His childhood friend stared at him silently, whereas Basara asked.

“…Actually, I have a favour to ask, so I looked for you.”

“A favour? Why so formally…”

“I want you to accompany me somewhere on the coming weekend… Are you busy then, Basara?”

“No… I have nothing planned.”

Upon that, Yuki said “I’m glad” and grabbed the sleeve of his uniform tightly.

Then Yuki said with a quiet, yet clear tone.

“It’s a date then, Basara--- with just the two of us.”

Part 2

And now it was Saturday morning.

Leaving the house, Basara headed for the meeting place with Yuki under the sky with the perfect weather for a date.

The arranged time was 10 o’clock in front of the station. He arrived ten minutes early, but Yuki was already there.

“Morning, Basara.”

Since it was a holiday, Yuki wore casual clothes. He had only seen her in her school uniform so far, so the casual clothes gave Yuki fresh novelty. That said, her personality was showing in the choice of her clothes. The plain arrangement, including a slightly dark cardigan, embodied Yuki’s docile personality.

---However, Yuki’s clear complexion wasn’t something that could be subdued by plain clothes. In fact, a lot of the passing by people were inadvertently captivated by Yuki for a while now. Amongst them, some even stopped. Basara felt a slightly bit superior.

“Morning, Yuki… I thought I would be the first here, but I guess I made you wait?”

“No. I only arrived here shortly before too.”

Yuki shook her head to the sides.

“Shortly before--- Since when?” “…One hour ago.” “Eh… that early?”

Man, that was too early. So much that he was no longer happy about her waiting for him, but felt guilty instead.

“At least give me a call. I would’ve come earlier too then.”

“It’s fine. I wanted to wait for you.”

“Well, okay, if you’re fine with it… But Yuki, call me next time when you’re too early. Because I don’t really want to make people wait for me.”

“Next time…”

Mumbling a repeat like parrot, Yuki brightened up her expression a bit.

“…Okay. Will do so next time.” “Yeah, please do. Okay, let’s go then.”

Saying so, Yuki and Basara started walking towards the ticket gate of the station. Their destination was the shopping district downtown.

Because it was a holiday, the platform was crowded with people, who wanted to go downtown like them, after they passed through the ticket gates. They lined up in a relative short line and the train entered the station soon enough.

However, the train was already packed and when Basara and Yuki boarded the train, the passenger count naturally increased. All seats were occupied and there were no free handrails or straps either, but Basara somehow managed to get to the door that connected two wagons together with Yuki.

Yuki leaned her back against the door and Basara somehow got into a posture of standing shielding in front of her. Even so the available space within the wagon was limited, which made their bodies get into direct contact if they wanted or not.

…Ugh, this is…

A lucky--- no, quite the unfavourable posture. A part of his true feelings were showing through.

But he couldn’t help but feel the warmth and softness of Yuki’s body and her sweet fragrance.

“Ehm… Are you okay, Yuki?”

Because the train started moving, Basara asked while turning a bit red.

“I’m fine. And you…?” “Me as we---ll!?”

On the clattering shaking of the train, the crowd leaning onto Basara’s back pushed him forward.

“Ah…” “S- Sorry!”

Yuki turned red along with a short voice, whereas Basara hastily apologized. They were in direct contact anyhow, yet they got into an even more unbelievable posture now. His right leg--- more precisely, it’s knee had gone between Yuki thighs, spreading them out.

And speaking of thighs, it was perfectly under Yuki’s skirt. Actually,

…Uwah, is this…

The soft sensation that pinched his knee from the left and right were surely Yuki’s inner thighs.

If so, then the soft sensation on his thigh was

“Mm… Basara, your leg… is touching…” “S- Sorry…!”

An outrageous “It’s touching” situation. Every time the train shook lightly, Yuki released a nasal “Mm” voice and lightly trembled her body with a shiver.

It was an disturbance beyond awkward.

Basara tried to somehow pulled his leg back, but since someone was behind him, leaving no space, it was pushed forward right away again. Not giving up, he repeated that procedure numerous times, whereupon Yuki tightly clung to his chest. While flushing her cheeks embarrassed, she had shifted her gaze downwards.

“B- Basara… all your movements… have been rubbing against it.”

The words were declared with a frail voice. Understanding the meaning behind them, Basara’s heartbeat accelerated at once.

“---S- Sorry! That wasn’t what I… Wh- What should I do?”

“Just stay still… Mm, then I think… it’ll be fine.”

“O- Okay--- Anything else I can do?”

“…Put your arms… around my back… and hold me for a bit.”

“---Eh? Wh- Why…?”

“Because my body is being pressed against the door… It’s a bit painful.”

Ah, right. Then he had no choice. He had no choice in this case… hadn’t he.

“O- Okay, excuse me then…”

Like Yuki asked him to, Basara entwined his arms around her back and hugged her.

Upon that, there opened a small gap between Yuki’s back and the door.

“A- And?” “Mm… A bit better.”

On these words, Basara made a sigh of relief, but his heartbeat didn’t calm down.

Yuki’s body was warm, soft and gave off a sweet fragrance--- And above all:

Toujou Basara’s right leg was still between Nonaka Yuki’s thighs.

There were people spying on Basara and Yuki from the next wagon.

Right after Basara had left the house, two people had followed him secretly--- Mio and Maria.

“Hugging each other in the train, these two are already acting like a stupid couple.”

“……………”

“What do we do, Mio-sama? For now we should keep--- Mio-sama?”

“……………”

“Mio-sa--- Oww!? Ouch. Mio-sama, that is not the handrail, but my wrist. My wrist, you hear!?”

“H- Hoho. He said he would go out with Nonaka, but he’s doing that inside the train.”

While cladding herself with composure as much as possible, Mio clenched her right hand as much as possible.

“Hiii. Please calm down, Mio-sama! At this rate my wrist will break!”

Maria cornered voice didn’t reach Mio’s ears.

After all, on the other side beyond two doors, Basara was embracing Yuki.

---Basara told her that he would go out with Yuki at dinner last night.

When he asked “May I?”, she couldn’t say no. Sure, Mio and Basara were family and he promised to protect her. And they even formed a Master and Servant Contract, albeit in a different way than intended. However, Mio didn’t have the right to restrain Basara 24/7 just because of that. But,

…I, I have the right to worry.

It wasn’t like she was planning to interrupt Basara and Yuki’s date. A lot had happened between Yuki and Mio due to their positions, but through the battles on the rooftop and the park with the white mask, they came to understand each other a little bit.

However, Yuki was too assertive on the weirdest things. Like suddenly hugging Basara on their reunion or coming into their house in the morning and storming into the bath with Basara in it. It wasn’t unthinkable that she would do even more unbelievable actions if she were to be all alone with him.

So her tailing was a justified pursuit. The other day, the curse activated from her jealousy when she thought about Basara being all alone with Yuki, but now there was no problem--- In other words,

“Yes… There’s no doubt. I’m not jealous… or anything.”

“Yes, I understand! You are only worried about Basara-san! So, Mio-sama, please relax your grip a bit, okay? My left hand is becoming congested and is turning purple, you know!?”

Mio said mumbling, whereas Maria pleaded with teary eyes. However, the train stopped at a certain station.

“Ah, they’re getting off! Like I thought, they’re changing trains here. We’re going, Maria!”

Chasing after Basara and Yuki, Mio got off the train as well. She tightly grabbed Maria’s left hand as not to get separated, whereupon she could hear a short “HGG!!?” shriek from Maria along with a “Crack” noise due to it, but she paid it no mind. With the Master and Servant Contract, she could localize Basara if she wanted, but it wouldn’t tell her what he was doing at a different place.

For now, she couldn’t afford to take her eyes off Basara and Yuki for even a moment.
