April 9th, 2089
The Blood Dragon incident has been resolved, although I lied to Reiji and Tachibana-san, ahem, Akemi-san by saying the police scared them off. As expected those two have become a couple now. Reiji’s parents must be overjoyed to find out that Reiji has developed an interest in 3-D girls at last. He also blabbed about my date with Kira and Veronica to Hikari, who got truly incensed and gave me the silent treatment that has only stopped recently. Haa, she’s acting like I’m a cheating husband yet we’re not even dating.
Speaking of dates, I used my newfound money to take Kira and Veronica on some individual dates in order to pamper them. I don’t want either of them feeling neglected after all. We also went on group dates to the amusement park and the beach. They’ve really started to acclimate to life here. The next step is for them to start making friends of their own. I want them to develop the necessary social skills for this world. The plan is to eventually get them to attend my school. I already created their identities as Japanese citizens thanks to a very large amount of mind control magic at the local government offices, so it’s time to put that to use.
Today will be an important day for that plan. Reiji had invited myself, Kira and Veronica to a cosplay convention being held at the Tokyo Dome. It’s the biggest one of its kind and Hikari and Akemi-san are also coming along. My hope is that Kira and Veronica can become friends with them, but it’ll be dependent on Hikari’s behavior. Those two were extremely excited for today since it means they’ll be able to walk around freely as themselves. I was looking at my outfit in the mirror with Rin on my shoulder. She really wanted to come along, and I couldn’t say no when she appealed to me with her upturned fox eyes. So I agreed and she dematerialized and appeared as a black fox tattoo on my left bicep.
I had shapeshifted to have a pair of black horns sprouting upwards from my forehead and have a black whip-like tail. My hair was changed to pure white and my eyes were red. I had a tight form fitting black and red shirt on with dark long pants. My gauntlets and greaves were also black with red accents, making me look truly demonic. I nodded in satisfaction and left to see the girls waiting for me.
“Terra, how do I look?” Kira excitedly asked me as she did a light spin. She was wearing brown leather hotpants with a matching leather jerkin over a white tunic. She had a pair of combat boots and metal gauntlets on. Her golden hair was unbound and both her ears and tail were freely showing. “Mesmerizing.” I responded with a smile as I pulled her in for a kiss.
“Terra.” I looked over at Veronica who just called my name. She wore a snug silver hunting gown with a light skirt that matched her hair which was in a ponytail perfectly. The outfit was reinforced with metal covering her vitals and she had metal greaves beneath her skirt. Her long pointy ears were on full display. “Radiant.” I gave her a smile and pulled her in for a kiss just like I did with Kira.
“You guys ready?” ““Yes!”” We left for the planned meeting place with Reiji, Hikari and Akemi. On the subway we were greeted with quite a few stares. We explained that we were on our way to the cosplay convention and the stares lessened somewhat. Coincidentally, I had told Veronica and Kira to use that as their excuse if their illusion ring ever broke and they were stranded in public.
Reiji and Akemi-san were already there waiting for us when we arrived at the meeting place. Akemi-san, as expected, was dressed like a cat-kin. She was also wearing a sexy schoolgirl outfit with culottes and I was secretly wondering what Reiji promised her in order to get her to wear that. That question was immediately answered as I looked over at Reiji and couldn’t help but start laughing.
Reiji had on elven ears and was dressed like a girl. He was wearing a white short skirt and a light green blouse on top. I could see hints of make-up on his face and anyone who saw him would be convinced that he was that popular elven little sister character of an ongoing anime show. HAHAHAHAHA! I bet he promised Akemi-san that she could dress him up if he was allowed to dress her up. I know he’s likely regretting it now. “Yo, Akemi-san and Reiji-chan, your guys’ costumes look great.”
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Reiji simply blushed and was too embarrassed to say anything so Akemi-san responded “Hello Minato-san, thanks for the compliment but it’s obvious that your guys’ costumes are the incredible ones! If I didn’t know otherwise, I would really think you guys were a demon, a cat girl and a dark elf!” I introduced Kira and Veronica to her and they started chatting together as I continued to laugh at Reiji while we waited for Hikari.
Hikari’s POV
Today’s the day where I finally see my competition. When Reiji messaged me that he saw Minato on a date with two girls, it’s safe to say that I lost it a little bit. Thankfully no one was around to see my outburst. Am I turning into a yandere? *Shudder* I hope not. Damn it Minato, when did you suddenly turn into a player? I couldn’t even speak to him for a while for fear of losing it, but Reiji managed to calm me down. He told me that it’s time for me to directly tell him my feelings.
He’s right, I can’t be so passive anymore. But first I have to face my competition. The goal for today is to make it clear that I am superior to these other girls. I need to make Minato doubt his choice and then I’ll go for it. In preparation for that I am wearing a particularly sexy outfit. Reiji notified me beforehand that Minato was going as a demon, so I decided to dress as a biker chick from the most popular anime out right now who also happened to be a demoness. Hopefully it will subtly emphasize how we suit each other.
I had skin tight black leather pants on with an equally tight black leather vest adorned with metal studs on it. I had black leather fingerless gloves and black boots along with bright red lipstick and red horns sticking out of my hair. I know there will be even more risqué outfits at the convention, but I can’t help but still be self-conscious. I am only keeping my composure by imagining Minato smiling at me and saying I look beautiful.
I finally arrived at the meeting place and saw everyone there including my rivals. I looked towards the dark elf and cat girl by Minato’s sides and… lost all my fighting spirit. I know that I am a beauty by anyone’s standards, but those two women’s looks put supermodels to shame. How the hell can I compete with that? And to try and break up a ménage a trois between those two and Minato is impossible. *Sniff* What am I going to do now? I have never felt so inferior to someone else in terms of looks before.
I gave a half-hearted greeting to Reiji-kun and Akemi-sempai before turning to see Minato staring intently at me. His costume was amazing, he looked like a true Demon King that could seduce any girl he wanted. He came over and smiled as he told me “You look stunning.” My heart was beating wildly and I could feel a blush forming on my face. Just a simple smile and complement from him and my shattered confidence was completely restored.
“I’d like to introduce you to Kira and Veronica. This is my childhood friend Hikari that I have told you about.” After introducing us, Minato went over to Reiji and said “There’s a famous voice actress who is signing autographs that Reiji wants to go see. I’ll escort him to make sure he doesn’t get surrounded by lonely otakus. It’ll probably take a while so you girls should go on your own and have some fun.”
He then walked away with Reiji, who I’ve just noticed is dressed in a skirt and blouse. Wow, I must have been really focused on Minato to have missed that. I was hoping to go along with Minato, but he was already gone before I could ask. “Well, let’s go then!” Akemi-sempai cheerfully said as she started to lead us. This will be a good opportunity to get to know Kira-san and Veronica-san. Bring it on! I won’t let go of Minato so easily!
