Cherreads

Chapter 14 - Welcome to Izumo Inn! 2

Miya-san leads us up a flight of stairs, and down a corridor. When we did go down the corridor however, I saw Uzume-san… in her panties! And a tight short top on with the No. 10 on it! U-Uzume-san is in her panties, looking at me with a smile! O-Oh no! She's showing me her in her panties! I-I… my nose is bleeding a little!

"Hey bro, you got Miya to let you stay here huh~"

"Y-Yes!" I replied energetically! Her staying here is very good indeed! I can see Uzume-san frequently! And we can visit Onee-chan together. But then I felt something that's not right. Something that is going to happen. A sense of foreboding. What is this feeling?

Shiver.

Something sent a shiver down my spine. For some reason, Uzume-san is shaking heavily as well. H-Has she noticed something? I looked to Nanami-san who was shivering also! She gripped my shirt and looked really scared. As for Kuno-san… she has fainted! Kuno-san has fainted!

"Uzume..."

Miya-san whispered something out darkly. I looked to see… a purple aura! She has a purple aura surrounding her! D-Does she realize that aura is very scary! I am in pure terror right now!

"M...Miya… I'm frightened..."

At least she's honest. But Miya-san wasn't having any of it. She went over to Uzume-san… a demon head appeared! D-Does anyone else see that demon head right now!?

Thump!

A sound of something crashing to the floor… Nanami-san! She has also fainted! Geez, the super powered aliens faint while me, the normal human stays awake! What kind of world is that!?

"Oh crap..."

Uzume-san sniffled out. Miya-san raised her hand, and pointed at Uzume-san with a dark, almost killer-like expression.

"Uzume. What is rule number 1?"

"...No… obscenity..."

"Sorry. I didn't hear you. What was rule number 1?"

"No obscenity."

Uzume-san cried out with tears streaming down her face. Miya-san smirked, albeit not being able to be seen by most standards.

"No meals for the remainder of the day, and tomorrow's breakfast for you is cancelled."

"Uwah..."

She patted Uzume-sans head, and that was it. She passed out from overwhelming fear! Oh shit! N-Now I know why Uzume-san said that Miya-san is a little… yeah. Better not go down that road. I don't want to be the next victim of floating demonic heads!

"Uzume… you can't sleep out here."

Miya-san giggled darkly while bending down, patting Uzume-san's head. Uzume-san in her unconscious state, shivers intensely. I guess, even in her sleep, she is frightened of the demonic head, and its creator, the landlady-sama of Izumo Inn, Asama Miya-sama.

"Well, I guess it can't be helped since she broke a rule."

Miya-san stood up, then looked in my direction. I threw my hands up in defence! I haven't broken any rules! Please don't bring out the demon head again! I… am so scared right now. I have to stay on her good side or I will die by demon head!

"I wasn't being bad! I swear on my life I wasn't being bad!"

"Fufu, I know you weren't. Oh my, what happened to your friends?"

Yeah, don't act all innocent landlady-sama. You knocked them out with your super demon head thingy. I wonder where that thing went? Wherever it went, I'm glad. As long as it isn't around here, then I am content. I don't want demon heads to float by again, ever.

"Erm… exhaustion?"

I played along with her little game. Miya-san raised her sleeve to her mouth and let out a chuckle, seemingly playing the game with me. But this game, I haven't a clue as to what it was.

"I see. Well, they can't sleep out here~ Your room is this one here."

She pointed at the room that has "201" written next to it as a sign. I went forward, reached out my hand and opened the door slightly to reveal a room that was bigger than my room back at the apartment.

I took a breath, then stepped inside. I can't believe it, this room is mine. And it's all thanks to Uzume-san. When she wakes up, I will have to thank her. And as for my Sekirei, well I will have to wake them up in a minute. I just wish to take this all in.

"So? Is it okay?"

Miya-sans voice rang out from behind me. I did a 180 to face her with a large grin on my face.

"Y-Yes! This is very amazing!"

"Fufu, you have such a funny way of expressing happiness. If you'll excuse me. I have to go and make dinner now. Please, unpack and I will call you when dinner is ready."

With happy tears streaming down my face, I nodded at her! With a small giggle, she left the room happily. Hehe… she is a strange woman. But she's very nice, when she isn't summoning demonic heads to devour my soul!

Phew… now I can relax. Or that's what I thought. When I looked out of the window, I saw someone looking into the window. A girl. A girl that has short wild light red hair and is wearing a tight fitting yellow jumpsuit with black sleeves. She has thigh high brown boots and… is that a Sekirei crest on her left hip!?

Ooh great! It's someone like Toyotama! She's going to be after me, isn't she? But… she's just...nstudying me. Her eyes aren't leaving my form. There's barely an expression on her face. It's just so… melancholic? Huh? What's wrong with her?

I stood up, and went to the window. When I opened it, she locked eyes with me, not moving a muscle. I opened my mouth, but she put a finger to her lips, as if to silence me.

She then mouthed something to me, but I don't know what she said as I don't read lips. She then started to jump away, and disappeared from view within seconds. Of course, that girl is a Sekirei, but why was she here? I guess it isn't any of my business but I would like to know.

"Totsuka-sama..."

I heard a noise behind me, so I looked and saw… Nanami-san. A pale looking Nanami-san at that. I went over to her, but she gripped my shirt and looked at me with desperate eyes.

"Totsuka-sama, I am scared of landlady-sama."

"Ehehe, there's no need to be frightened Nanami-san. Miya-san seems to be a really lovely person. She even gave us a place to live, and lowered the cost for us. Isn't that a good show of niceness?"

"I-I guess. But that demon head was..."

I think Miya-san has pretty much destroyed Nanami-san's brain by this point. I just hope that the demon head doesn't show up so often. I petted the back of Nanami-san's head, in a comforting manner.

"Where is Kuno-san, Nanami-san?"

"Oh… still passed out, I think. But… Who were you looking at?"

I looked out of the window and shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't really know. I think she was a Sekirei. But the strange thing was, she just studied my form, not taking her eyes off me for an instant until she left. I don't think she would've harmed me, even if she had the chance. Call me crazy huh."

"Okay, crazy!"

I face faulted! She actually called me crazy!

"I didn't actually want you to call me… ugh, never mind."

"Oh… sorry!"

"It's okay. But Nanami-san, what do you think about this place?"

"I'm happy! We finally have a home! And I would like to see Toyotama try and take on landlady-sama!"

I chuckled at her. Yea, don't take on landlady-sama. But she's right, this is our home. We have finally come home. But what happens next?
