PHASE 24 - I HATE GIRLS NIGHTS ESPECIALLY THAT I’M THE ONLY BOY
Quick trivia. Tiara Hikari’s Guardian Ability is
I have a theory where Tiara absorbed the silver gumiho’s power back then, thus, making her able to turn into her

Anyway, I’m quite wary of going home to the Kozukata Shrine. I don’t know if Tiara’s fate has changed. Just to be so sure, we wanted to avoid that place if possible since according to the vision, she’s going to die in that place.
So Jeannette and I asked to stay at Tiara’s condo unit for the rest of the night. It will be the best scenario to watch over our shrine maiden. Tiara was even glad that we’re accompanying her in that lonely condo unit.
Helena waved goodbye at us when we left the school entrance. She’s concerned about Heushac since that baby boy does not know how to cook and clean or live by himself. She said that she’s just one call away, and she will be there if we need her.
So now, there are only three of us.
Or so we thought.

When Tiara opened the door to her room, we were greeted by an annoying voice.
“Congratulations!” Asumi gave her thumbs up in front of our faces. Ayano is behind her, blowing a party horn.
Poot! Poot!
“What’s the occasion?” I said.
“It’s the end of your training camp in our shrine! You just graduated on our training course! Moreover, you succeed in saving our adorable Tiara-chan~”
Pooooooot!!! Ayano blew her horn again. It was twice as hard as before, so her eyes are a little bit watery.
“We’re going to drink like crazy! Yay!” Asumi presented a box of traditional rice wine (I believe it’s called sake in Japanese) and a hot pot machine set, together with delicious-looking crabs.
Tiara now has waterfalls on her mouth.
Asumi must’ve noticed that I’m a bit uninterested, so she pestered me some more. She had this devilish smile at me and had a private conversation with my ear.
“Those rice wines are not those cheap brands you see in the market! They are specially made by our shrine maidens. We call them Super Kuchikamizake! Tiara’s rice wines are unbelievably sweet, so I brought all of them here!”
“Kuchikamizake, you say?” Jeannette is cringed as she happens to eavesdrop. “Thanks, but no thanks. I’ll buy my own liquor.”
“You look underaged, Jeannette,” Ayano commented. “You can’t buy liquors- eh?”

Jeannette shouted as her body became covered with golden light! All of us was surprised when Jeannette’s body transformed into a tall 25-year old looking Goddess Freya. “I can.” Jeannette/Freya said. And then she disappeared with a blinding golden streak.
“Let’s take a seat and get started! Woohoo!” Asumi cried.
Pooooot! Ayano blew her party horn again.

It’s the third round of our hotpot and the last supply of our meat and crabs. The crabs they brought are large, fat and tasty, and the beef is tender and soft. Combined with those special sakes and 90% proof alcohol that Jeannette bought in a convenience store, I say this is the best hot pot party I ever got in my life.
Just… don’t tell my parents. Most of us here are still minors.
Tiara is happily watching the hot pot like a five-year-old kid, while the loli Jeannette has been sleeping on my lap, her belly below, like an exhausted kitten. Normally, I wouldn’t let Jeannette to even touch my skin but now it’s different. I think I can consider her a real friend from now on since she saved my life.
Don’t mind me, I’m just drunk. I’ll hate that runt tomorrow.
Ayano and Asumi are busy telling me stories about Eidolons, marriages, and their Shinto religion. None of those words entered my brain, and I just nod every freaking time they end their sentence to keep them satisfied.
All of us are already tipsy, but I can’t stop myself from gulping the rice wines. I can drink a bottle in just a couple of minutes. It’s like a fizzy drink that sparkles in my tongue, but the sweetness is like honey. It stings, but it doesn’t hurt like it should be.
“You really have a talent in making these rice wines, Tiara.” I caressed her head which made her blush. But her face is a big question mark.
She picked an empty bottle and turned it upside down. It has a kanji character that reads “Hikari”. Then, Tiara’s face became redder. “W-W-Why are my kuchikamizake here, Asumi-nee san!”
“You don’t need to be shy, Tiara. You made the most delicious beverage I’ve ever seen.” I continued to pat her head.
Then she bowed as steam releases from her ears. She muttered “T-T-Thank you for appreciating my work, Rikkun.” on me that only I can hear.
Honestly, I don’t even know what kuchikamizake is. I’m too lazy to google it.
Suddenly, I heard some vibrations. Jeannette opened her eyes and lazily picked up her phone. She dictated what came out from the message.
“Lord Freya, you have been invited to the Black Cross Mansion in Myrrh City for the further briefing of your new mission. Please take note that this is an urgent matter. Godspeed.”
As she closes the message app, I noticed that her wallpaper on her smartphone is the picture we had two years ago. It was from a cosplay event, and she was wearing a cute pink magical girl costume. Beside her is the old me, who was skinny and still wearing eyeglasses.
“Looks like my handpicked team has been approved. We’ll get our first mission and get paid.” Jeannette slightly smiled.
“Then there’s more reason to celebrate!” Asumi went loud. “Look at the time! It’s already twelve! That means Tiara is now completely safe!”
PooooOOOOoooot!!!
Ayano blew her party horn again, but after that, she went to the windows and puked.
“Blaaaaargh!”

The sunlight mercilessly shoved upon my face. It was already morning. My face is glued on the pillow with this sticky drool on my lips and also my right cheek. My head hurts because of the hangover. If my parents knew this, I’ll surely be grounded.
I hugged my pillow tight, and that was when I realized that it’s not really a pillow. I squeezed three times just to be sure, but pillows are not this soft and squishy.
I raised my head and was surprised by this horrible sight.
It was Tiara’s chest! She’s wearing a white tank top, and I got it wet because of my drool! Good thing she’s still sleeping soundly. I need to get up before anyone notices.
Suddenly, I felt that there is someone tightly hugging my legs, rendering me unable to stand up. I looked below, and there was another terrifying revelation!
It was Jeannette, pinning my legs. She was unconsciously hugging my legs like a stuffed toy, and her face is just a few centimeters from my morning stick! What the heck!
I… I have to get out of this situation! I looked around to check my surroundings. I need something to help me!
I noticed that Asumi has been lying on the ground, and her face was full of drawings. She looks like a canvass for a graffiti. However, Ayano’s only thing that covers her body is a face towel.
Good thing I’m still the only one awake in here.
There are cards scattered around this room. I just remembered that we had a daring card game last night after we finished eating our hotpot. The one who lost a game will be dared to remove one of his clothing. That explains why most of these girls have a missing apparel on them.
We got so drunk, down, and dirty last night.
“Tiara! I’m coming in!” It was Helena’s voice! She was knocking the door!
It was no good. I was completely paralyzed by this darn runt!
Creak…
It was Helena’s time to see something horrible.
And me?
I think my life has just ended.
Why? Because I’m one of the sore losers of the card game last night. The only thing I’m wearing is my boxers. Anybody who witness this scene would have the wrong idea.
Helena blushed. ”Y-You guys didn’t tell me that there’s a gangbang party going on!”
