《Vamped up》Chapter 10 - Shared house
Advertisement
I stood before the front door, from what I was told, it was more like a shared house than anything. There were shared bathrooms, showers, living room, and kitchen. Apparently, it's to help us "Bond" but having teenage boys and girls sharing the same house is bound to have problems in itself. From now on they were going to be my classmates and my dorm mates, my mind flashes back to what my mother said. If they were to find out about my secret then I would likely become dead meat. It's best if I took to myself and try not to interact with them, my heart still weighed heavy after the loss of Ishikawa.
[Kurake]
"Um... Sato, why are you also coming with me into the dorm?"
[Sato]
"hm? Because I also live here." She answered like I was supposed to know that beforehand."
[Sato]
"So now that your done daydreaming, you going to go in? We don't have all day." She steps ahead of me.
[Kurake]
"A-ah wait. Um, I'm sorry."
[Sato]
"I won't be forgiving you." She glares at me with cold eyes.
I figured, not even I believe I deserve to be forgiven. Ah, there's no use in getting depressed now.
[Sato]
"Now I'll be going ahead of you." She enters the dormitory.
After waiting a few moments I enter the dorm, a group of people was lined up in front of me. 2 guys and 5 girls.
[Guy A]
"Yo! You must be the newcomer." He pats me on the back, he has a rather big build, brown hair, bright brown eyes, and spikey hair.
[Kurake]
"Get your fucking hand off me," I said with a cold yet threatening attitude.
Hm? Did I say that?
[Systle]
"Unsociability debuff LVL up! LVL is now set to 3, description. User's words will now be altered once spoken."

Altered?! So it changed "Could please not touch me" to "Get your fucking hand off me." What type of bullshit debuff is this?!
[Girl A]
"Oi! A midget like you shouldn't talk so big!" A girl around my size (On the smaller side) has Blond hair but strands of her hair are dyed white.
Oh? Using my height as an insult now?! Rage started to build inside of me.
[Guy B]
"Now, now, all we wish to do is introduce ourselves." A rather lanky dude, his eyes are half-open. He gave off rather shifty vibes, he has red hair.
[Kurake]
"(Okay sure thing) Let's get this over with then."
[Kurake]
"(My name is Kurake Watanabe, pleased to meet you) The name is Kurake Watanabe, I'm not very pleased to encounter you."
[Guy A]
"My name is Arata Ishita, nice to meetcha!"
[Girl A]
"My name is Yua Ito, just stay away from me you creep." She grinds my gears, but I can't blame her after how rude I was.
[Emiko]
"Aye! its you remember me?"
[Kurake]
"Regretfully so."
[Emiko]
"Woah, what's with your newfound attitude?"
[Kurake]
"None of your business" Oh god help me.
[Emika]
"Um... It's not very nice of you."
Oh, she's here too?! I haven't seen them since the end of my training. It's no wonder if they're in this unit it's no wonder I never saw them.
[Girl B]
"My name is Yuma, no surname. I'm also a foreigner so I'm not well educated in Japanese customs. I apologize in advance if I ever offend you."
[Ito]
"You don't have to be kind to a creep like him!"
[Guy B]
"Greetings, my name is Ichiro Ueda, I believe you are also well acquainted with Sato-san?

[Ueda]
"Why don't you show him around Yuma?"
[Yuma]
"Sure, follow me Watanabe-san"
[Kurake]
"Using San is annoying, take it out when you're addressing me."
[Yuma]
"Yes."
We walk down the corridor onto a landing that is connected from the living room connected to the kitchen.
[Yuma]
"Please remove your shoes and put on these slippers." She hands me a pair of black slippers.
The living room was pretty standard. Comfy sofa brown, white coffee table in front of the sofa, wooden floors with a rug underneath the coffee table and sofa. A massive TV with gaming consoles plugged in, and controllers that have been labeled with each person's name. The kitchen on the other hand had uncleaned dishes, but it seems at least one of them cooks. Based on the assortment of spices laid out they've all been at least half used.
We walk down one more corridor where we are greeted by everyone's separate rooms and a bathroom and a bath that is separated by gender. Each room has a sign with a person's name on it, and she leads me to my room.
[Yuma]
"Here is your room, everyone will eat together in the mornings at 7:00 am and during dinner which is at 6:pm, baths will be prohibited after 11 pm and will open back up at 5:45 am. If you have any questions please ask any of your fellow dorm mates." Her words lacked emotion like she was reading off some script.
[Kurake]
"'kay, you can buzz off now." I enter my room but just before I close the door.
[Yuma]
"No peeking, recording, or entering female areas within the dormitory without permission!"
[Kurake]
"Got it," I close the door on her.
[Kurake]
"(Systle!!!)"
[Systle]
"Yes?"
[Kurake]
"Care to explain the new debuff?" I was so pissed I said it out loud.
[Systle]
"I do not assign nor decide your debuffs I only analyze the current state of your soul, body, and mentality. In laymen's terms, don't shoot the messenger."
[Kurake]
"(You know how much of a pain in the ass this is?)"
[Systle]
"You're just going to have to deal with it."
Damn it, Ima take a shower to blow off some steam. I open the door at the same time as Ito walks by.
[Ito]
"Hmph" She storms off.
She made no attempts to hide her discontent towards me. I walk behind her heading to the baths.
[Ito]
"I knew it! You're a pervert and a creep!" She spins around.
[Kurake]
"Where the hell do you get that idea from?!"
[Ito]
"You're following me to the bathroom you creep!"
[Kurake]
"Wrong! I'm going to the baths, now stop blocking foot traffic." I push past her,
It sucks I'm so small. I man my age could easily pat my head that's how small I was. I hastily make my way to the men's bath.
