《Nandemonogatari: The Story of Something Else》Chapter 02 - The Story of Seduction
Advertisement
Cerys, Yui, and Mayumi head out of the clubroom and make their way to their target. Yui surprise hugs the other two girls. “I hope the three of us can be the best of friends!”
Mayumi shrugs the hug away. “I wouldn’t go that far, but eh.”
Cerys ducks under Yui’s hug. “So, who’s going to do the readings?”
Mayumi looks back at Cerys lazily, “Who’s the best at bullshitting?”
“I could never tell a lie, my heart can’t take it!” Yui fidgets and pulls out her cross necklace from beneath her collar.
Cerys focuses her gaze on Mayumi. “My Japanese isn’t that great. I couldn’t lie to a teacher convincingly.”
“Then I guess it’s my job.” Mayumi sighs.
Cerys asks Mayumi, “Do you have a set of cards handy?” Mayumi reaches between her breasts to pull out a deck of cards, a sly look on her face. Cerys gives her an odd look in return. “At least you have yourself together that much. Your hair’s a damn mess though, maybe you should straighten it out a little before speaking to the teachers.” Cerys pulls out her hairbrush, offering it to Mayumi.
Mayumi scoffs at the idea. “Monkey likes it when I have sex hair.”
Yui fidgets again. “I dunno Cerys, pride and vanity are sins after all...” She looks down and away from her compatriots, holding her cross close.
Mayumi slows down and lets Yui get ahead of her, then rests her bosom on Yui’s head. “So are sloth and lust, both of which I’m gonna make work for me.” Yui scowls at Mayumi’s action, matching the taller girl’s scowl at the general situation.
Cerys ignores the two. “One should always try to look their best, even when they aren’t feeling their best.” She turns to Mayumi and sees what’s actually going on, then adds with a hint of irritation to her voice, “Maybe this is your best.”
Yui finally pops out from under Mayumi’s breasts. “Please don’t be too mean! I’m sure Mayumi tries her hardest! You must do your best after all!”
Mayumi readjusts her bra. “Not really. I’m more of a ‘most effect with a least effort’ kind of girl.”
Cerys scoffs to get their attention back. “Let’s get a move on before she pulls another indecent stunt in the hallway.”
The trio turns down a new hallway, passing by the clustered crowds of other students as they head towards the History classroom. Yui looks in excitement at the students as they squeeze past. She turns towards Mayumi with excitement gleaming in her eyes. “So this is a real life school, I never expec-” She stops as she notices Mayumi’s newly unbuttoned blouse and hiked up skirt. She reels back with a blushed face. “M-Mayumi! This is really l-lewd behavior!”

Mayumi sighs as she pops her neck. “I guess it’s time…”
“Are you really going to do it like this?” Cerys says, with disgust clearly dripping off each word.
Mayumi turns to Cerys. “Monkey thinks with his banana. You got any better ideas?” Cerys thinks for a moment, then sighs. “I hope you don’t expect me to join in.”
“I won’t join in either! I refuse to have myself succumb to lust!”, Yui indignantly shouts. A few students turn to look at her in response.
Mayumi gives a sad smirk. “There’s a good chance he’s into that shit. But, whatever, just stand there and look pretty or something. Fuck, I don’t know.” She rolls her eyes, then reaches into her cleavage again to grab a pill bottle. She takes a pill out, swallows it, then puts on her best smile before opening the door.
Noboru Saruta sits at his desk within, looking slightly hungover. He turns to the door as he hears it open, perking up when he sees Mayumi. “Oh ho, if it isn’t my favorite little minx. What brings you here today?” he says playfully.
Mayumi struts in, and in her perkiest possible voice says "Heyyyyy, Mister. Wanna play?”
Cerys follows her in with a frown on her face, mumbling, “I miss Britain.”
Saruta begins to sweat, looking at the other two girls. “Depends, are these two free or are they extra?”, he says as he licks his lips.
Yui peeks through the door, only to see such a sinful display. She pulls back, blushes and bites her lip, feeling his aggressive aura of lust roll over her.
Cerys barely hides her anger and spits out, “We are here to do tarot card readings.”
“You know you have to pay extra for special service, Noboru!,” Mayumi says sweetly, “but yeah, we’re here to do Tarot card readings!” She winks as she pulls the deck out of her cleavage again. “Wanna see how lucky you get?”
Saruta sweats even more. “You’re on, sister. But how much is this gonna cost me? The usual rate?”
Mayumi leans in “3000 for the standard, 5000 for the...total package,” she drawls seductively.
Saruta wipes his brow with a chuckle. “I’m in, let’s just hope you don’t total my package.” A stream of drool forms on his chin as he leans forward, bringing Mayumi’s bosom closer to his face.
Cerys grabs Mayumi’s arm and pulls her away from Saruta. “Do you even know what these cards mean?”
Mayumi lets an irritated look flash across her face. “Do you!? Or better yet, does HE?” She turns back towards him, the irritation once again replaced with false affection.
Yui finally works up the courage to enter the room, walking up to Cerys. “W-what does she mean by… ‘total package’?”

Cerys frowns and quietly says so that only the girls can hear, “This is improper behavior and should stop right now.”
Yui puts her hands to her face and blurts out. “Oh my I’ve never seen such vulg-,” before Cerys covers her mouth with her hand, stopping her from talking.
Mayumi turns to Cerys with a hand on her hip, making a reverse V-sign in Cerys’ direction. Yui mumbles under Cerys’ hand, sounding both scared and confused. Cerys glares angrily at Mayumi after the gesture.
Mayumi ignores the glare and moves to the top of Saruta’s desk. “Alright Mister, let’s see what’s in the cards,” she says as she slowly draws a card out of the deck, licks it, and places it in his lap face down. She stares him in the eyes as she turns it up. “The Queen of Hearts. A sign of love that will be requited very, very soon.”
“I’m liking the sound of this so far, Minxyumi. Keep it coming!,” Saruta stammers as he struggles to keep his drool in his mouth. Mayumi grabs his hand, turning it over and tracing the lines in his palm before drawing another card. She leans forward and places it on his crotch.
Cerys whispers to the terrified Yui, “I hate what she’s doing, but she’s very good at it.”
Mayumi continues, flipping the card over, “Deuce of Spaces. A sign of something… oh. Something big coming.” She lets the last syllables trail off as she licks her finger slowly before sliding another card out of the deck. “Ace of Clubs. Wealth, fame, friends. Getting everything you want because you’re just that good looking and important.” She places the deck in her cleavage, then gestures to him to pull one last card out.
He chuckles gleefully before diving his face in and pulling one out with his mouth. Mayumi grabs the card out of his lips, barely hiding her disgust before flipping it over “And finally”, looking at the card, “Queen of Diamonds. A flirt you can’t help but love!” she says with a wink.
Saruta is fanning himself and breathing heavily as he pulls his wallet out. "This sure is a sulty and sexy future I have in store huh? I think I've heard enough, I'm ready for the big finish. Here's your yen, let's get this party started." He pulls out a 5000 yen note and sticks it down her shirt. “Why don’t you show me a little more?” He thumbs through the money in his wallet. “Because I have a lot more where that came from.”
“Big man, bigger spender, but today I’m a little busy babysitting these two.” She says, putting on a fake pout and gesturing to Cerys and Yui. “How about later, when I can give you more attention?,” she says seductively.
He takes a piece of paper and writes something down on it before folding it up and passing it to Mayumi. “How about we just meet here later?,” he says while licking his lips
Cerys says in the softest voice she can, “Mayumi, are you sure about this? It seems he thinks you are a cheap whore, and not the high-class whore that you are.”
Mayumi grabs the paper from him with a wink and simply says back to Cerys, “I prefer courtesan, but I ain’t picky.” She shakes her hips as she leaves the room, the other two following behind quickly.
The group heads back to the clubroom through the empty halls. As soon as they turn the corner, Mayumi lights up a cigarette and shudders. “I hate that fucker,” she says, smoke escaping her lips. “One of these days I’m gonna frame him for fucking a student or something.”
Cerys, still with a look of disgust, softly says, “Pretty sure you won’t have to frame him.”
Mayumi sighs and readjusts her clothes back to their original condition. “It’d be funnier if he got shitcanned without getting any…” She takes a long draw from the cigarette.
Yui can do nothing but say, “P-please don’t swear Mayumi...”
Mayumi turns to Yui, slightly dumbfounded with the smoke flowing from her mouth. She then puts out her cigarette on a nearby wall. “I just basically whored myself for a pudgy, balding, clammy handed monkey and you're bothered by me swearing?” Mayumi shakes her head and turns away from Yui. “You’re gonna have a loooooooooooong year here, then.”
Yui, fully embarrassed, looks down and squeaks out, “I-I didn’t say I approved of either…”
Cerys looks at Yui, then back to Mayumi. “Mayumi, maybe you should just swear in my language to protect this one. It’s a better language for it anyways.”
Mayumi dismissively waves her hand in the air. “Fine, fine. I’ll swear in English.” They continue walking back in silence.
As they reach the clubroom door, Cerys reaches for the handle. “You ready to go in?”
Mayumi says, “Not yet. You two go ahead, I need a moment to… compose myself.” Cerys and Yui look at each other then walk in, leaving Mayumi outside. Mayumi pulls out the paper the teacher gave her with the address. She looks at it angrily, when suddenly it begins to smoke. Mayumi lets out a yelp as she drops it, completely aflame and burning to ash before even reaching the ground. As Mayumi stares at the falling embers, she mutters to herself, “I guess Red wasn't bullshitting.” She kicks the dust away, then enters the clubroom herself.

Primordial Evolutions
The High Heaven Realm, a realm that has experts as numerous as trees in a forest. At this place, there lives an 8-year-old boy. This boy is called Jing Guanyu, a physically crippled boy who cannot has a crippled body and no energy system, preventing him from embarking on the paths of Essence and Energy Cultivation. The only path left to him is the path of Divine Cultivation, a mystical cultivation path that focuses on the soul and forming contracts with the Spirits of powerful Spirit Beasts that have taken human form. However, when he spends over 4 years trying to sense the spirit force of his first Spirit Beasts Spirit Realm, the rest of the clan deem him as a complete waste. One day, when the young man was 13, he met his first spirit contract, and his Legend begun there. The Legend of the creator of the ultimate cultivation Scripture in history. The creator of the Primordial Evolution Scripture, Jing Guanyu! The Primordial Emperor! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The inspiration for Book (brackets say roughly what I got inspiration from) Do note: I do completely copy anything from any books. All of this book is original and all the books mentioned below are simply inspiration that gave me the ideas in regards to whats in the brackets. It may seem similar (like with MW I also use the E-E-D cultivation but my definitions and cultivation realms are different from the inspirations) > Martial World (Cultivation Paths) > Lord Xue Ying (Non-Generic Plot) > Stellar Transformations (Unique Cultivation Technique) > Consuming Earth, Devouring Skies (Character Development) > Ancient Godly Monarch + Invincible (Martial Spirits + Own touch to this idea) > The Storm King + Lament of the Fallen (The Soul Realm/Soul Domain) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Final words: Ok, I will just say that there are several reasons why the MC's cultivation speed is so mediocre despite how "talented" he is. There are logical reasons and they will be explained when necessary. Just remember that cultivation speed isn't everything. Hope you enjoy. I will take constructive feedback and logical criticism. However, I will not even reply to illogical criticism, rants or salty people who got pissed off because the main character didn't get "that divine medicine" or "this divine sword" or whatever. Note: I have marked all 4 of the content warning boxes due to a uncertainty in how dark, gory, descriptive or traumatizing my story will get. Btw, the cover isn't my property but was gotten from a website on mythology (greek I think). IF they ask me to take it down, then I shall. IF NOT, then IDGAF. LOL
