《エッセンス (Essence)》Volume Two | Skirmish At Okinawa - Part One
Advertisement
Ayano stopped outside Mistress Daiki's office for a moment, she breathed in for a moment before entering the room.
Upon walking into the room Ayano could see the Mistress Daiki just casually sitting in her office chair. See looked up locking eyes with her student.
Ayano promptly bowed before the Mistress, "Mistress Daiki, what can I do for you?"
For a moment she was met with silence until the Mistress finally spoke up. In turn, Ayano stood up straight looking out the office window she could see bleak overcast weather.
"Just wanted to ask how things are with you lately, Miss Ayano" Mistress Daiki bluntly replied.
This took Ayano slightly off guard for a moment, the Mistress had never been known to delve into her students' personal lives.
"W-Why do you ask, Mistress Daiki" Ayano attempted to sound unfazed.
The Mistress sat there for a moment in silence, "Well I've noticed you've been spending much of your time to yourself outside of campus"
The sweat started to run down Ayano's face, "I've just been spending a lot of time resting as you well know how strenuous of schedules are"
Mistress Daiki nodded a few times as if thinking on Ayano's answer, "Very well, that is all you can leave now"
Internally Ayano felt relieved but, she didn't dare show it. She bowed, "Thank you Mistress" she calmly replied before leaving the office.
Mistress Daiki sat there thinking to herself calmly about what just happened.
"Ah, this is amazing!" Uli shouted out, as she floated through the natural hot bath.
"That I can agree with," Bethany said as she laid against the edge of the hot bath.
Aiko and Noel were together in the hot bath just relaxing as they looked up towards the stars that littered the sky. The former having spoke to Ms Eto beforehand had joined her friends later than usual.

Suddenly towards the changing rooms, a barrage of noise could be heard. The girls in the hot bath turn to see Hibiki launching herself towards them.
A big plume of water went into the air. Noel jumped in shock as she felt a strong grip around her slender waist, only to see Hibiki rising out of the water behind her.
Hibiki didn't waste any time running her hands over Noel's slender form, the latter moaning in pleasure. The other girls looked on in a mixture of awe and embarrassment.
"Noel for a girl packing a small package, you sure do makeup in other ways" Hibiki stated with a smirk upon her face.
Noel squirmed under Hibiki's touch, "Senpai, please you're embarrassing me"
Letting go of the girl Hibiki decided to float through the water. Noel felt more exposed than ever with the other girls in the hot bath staring at her.
It wasn't long before they were joined by Sachika, Roselle and Yuki all of them completely naked for their towels covering them.
After some time the atmosphere seemed to have calmed down. The group of girls was casually relaxing conversing with one another.
"So what are your plans after all this training?" Hibiki asked no one in particular.
"Well, I guess most of us are visiting our families, am I right?" Bethany asked as she rested her arms and head on the edge of the hot bath.
The girls nodded in agreement, for Sachika and Hibiki the duo were technically staying at the summer beach house for the rest of the summer. The others would go onto their own homes to visit their families.
"Speaking of families, how's your Dad and siblings Aiko?" Uli asked.
Many of the girls that joined the Essensu Program were related to the upper class in some form. Be it with cooperate, royalty or just simply through income. On the other hand, Aiko was one of the few girls that didn't come from such backgrounds, she was adopted by a man that owned a baking store as we're the other children he adopted.

"Last I spoke to them they were doing fine bare in mind that was before we graduated from high school" Aiko replied.
"What does your Dad do if you mind me asking?" Roselle curiously asked.
A big smile appeared on Uli's, " Her Dad is the best baker in the world!" The answer somewhat surprised the other girls particularly Sachika.
"Your Dad is a baker?" Sachika asked with keen interest.
Aiko awkwardly rubbed the back of her neck, "Yeah he kind of grew up in the business, his Dad and Grandad were bakers too"
"You know what!..." Uli jumps up out of the water, her naked body on display as plumes of water ran down her slender toned body "...next summer all of us should go and have cakes at the bakery Aiko's Dad owns!"
Uli suddenly fell into the water as Hibiki started laughing hysterically as the two wrestled in the water. Sachika watching the two made her laugh.
"Hey Sachika" Sachika turned around to see Yuki standing over her with a smirk on her face. Without warning, she launches Sachika across the hot bath in a Judo throw.
With a big splash, Sachika stood up out of the water with a grin on her face. The water running over her breasts and curved toned body as with Yuki.
"If that's how you want to play it so be it" Sachika announced as she dashed towards Yuki.
The rest of the girls promptly left the hot bath before they were dragged into the shenanigans of their peers. Bethany and Roselle headed straight for the changing rooms, as for Aiko and Noel they decide to wash themselves down before leaving.
The latter duo couldn't help but continue watching the others continuously wrestle in the hot bath.
"Well at least they're having fun I guess" Aiko nervously chuckled.
"Yes until one of them breaks a bone" Noel bluntly responded, Aiko, looked at her awkwardly as she laughed off her comment.
The girl that had escaped from the lab had smuggled herself upon a freighter headed for Okinawa. She only had a cloak to cover her inhuman form and those that saw her true form were eliminated in order to not expose herself.
Hiding in the depths of the cargo bay of the freighter, she could help but see images flooding her brain. She spent most of these moments in excruciating pain as she tried to make sense of the images.
Suddenly she slammed her fist against a steel container cracking and indenting the surface. The darkness was lit up every so often as her blades involuntarily extended and receded in her forearms, due to her extreme thrashing pain in her head.
As images continued to flood her mind she repeated muttered, "Go away, go away, go away..." her eyes psychotically wide for the girl.
The girl began scratching her forearm blades against the metal flooring, making an ear wrenching screeching sound. She suddenly hears muttering and footsteps in the distance.
As if a flick of a switch the girl turned serious, she crawled into the darkness in order not to be seen.

Each Family has a single ruler called the Father. When the father is to be changed for any reason, the name of the family is also changed after the name of the new ruler.
