Natalia-sama walked towards me with my bodysuit held in her hands. She stopped before me to display the repaired rear of it. I fell over instantly. I’d expected a miraculous repair job, but instead what I got was embarrassing! If you’re curious about what bothered me, you’ll learn more soon enough.

Rui giggled, seeing my reaction she urged me. “Hurry up and put it on.” Her phone’s flash went off as she took a picture wearing an amused grin. I noh-glared at her and reached out to grab her phone, but she flashed the screen at me. I expected to see the picture she took, but instead it was a large clock. Five hours and forty-six minutes remained and I had better things to do than stress over this.

The urgency of the situation spurred me to quickly suit up. Natalia smiled softly as though she’d done me a favor. Well, she had. At least my butt wouldn’t be exposed for the rest of the day. I still had the cloak, but it didn’t cover my butt adequately. “C-Can I have some privacy?”

“I won’t look. Gross. Just put it on, noh-nuts!” Rui chided me.

“Stop calling me that, you little bratty oni!” I yelled and bolted to my feet. I stomped angrily, clutching around me the blanket Natalia-sama had given me to protect my maiden purity.

“Oni?!” Rui barked in return. “Shut up! Feel lucky I don’t have my bat with me right now!”

“Oh, my,” Natalia-sama murmured, watching. “As you said, your time is precious. Don’t waste it.”

“Get that thing on, noh-nuts. It’s the least you owe to Natalia for her kindness and covering her floor with blood, which by the way I had to clean up,” Rui mocked and chastised me. I quivered in anger and embarrassment. She moved to exit the room, laughing. Somehow I teleported between her and the door. The blanket wrapped about my shoulder billowed about me like a cloak, dramatically.

Rui stared at me, shocked. I seemed to tower over her, and was very much a naked man even without my face. Rui stiffened, flushing with embarrassment for me. “Get out of the way, noh-nuts.” She threw me to to the side.

“I’m not a noh-nuts!” I cried after her. “Look at my nuts! They’re right here for you to examine! Fahh! Noh-nuts! Is that even a real yokai? There isn’t one here!” I threw the blanket down in a fit and started stomping my legs, almost sumo-like, my arms extended. She watched me in a detached manner as though she was a doctor analyzing a mental patient. “Rawwwwwwrrrr!!!” I bellowed.

“You certainly are the first of your species,” Rui noted.

“Just stop with that bickering.” Natalia-sama put her hands on her hips and stamped a delicate foot, too. “How can you work together if you’re like this? You have some serious issues!”

“Work with this perverted noh-nuts? Hmph... if you want to be like this, idiot, I’m literally gone. Noh-nuts!” She twisted that dagger again and again.

My stomping intensified to the levels of my dance had with my father. Losing all inhibition, I started to dance. The dance incorporated extra pelvic thrusts. I was so angry with Rui, and so lost my mind for a while. The dance was extra effective since I was nude. Rui’s detached expression turned white. Her eyes became as large as teacups.

“Nooooooo! What are you doing to an innocent pure girl? You sick pervert!” Rui cried and ran to the other side of the room to hide behind Natalia’s desk.

“Hmm... interesting moves,” Natalia-sama remarked, thumbing her lips. That kind of calm and interested scrutiny stunned me. I shrank and grabbed the blanket to throw it entirely around myself and hide my embarrassment. The blanket was grey, so when I curled up I resembled a rock vaguely. “He’s clearly not a noh-nuts. And he’s not made out of stone. Don’t be so insulting, Rui-chan.” Natalia-sama laughed softly.

“He is clearly not…” I shook. “It’s just the only way I could remain sane working with him! I mean really, he just had to go and stick those ball of his right into my face! Nooooooo!” Rui yowled like an offended cat.
