《Would You Rather?》Shiba Aftermatch~
Advertisement
Whatever the situation from yesterday was, it made me unable to sleep soundly at night, so upon waking up I realized there were some dark circles under my eyes. I was a tad on edge, I started to enjoy waking in the mornings once I got transmigrated into this world, but today I was dreading this day over since Taiju was supposed to rise and shine at 8 o'clock since I knocked him out with the glittery powder around 8pm yesterday. Thankfully this weirdo had some manners of not storming into Yuzuha's room as he pleased. I was expecting to be woken up and dragged away from her bed. I decided to calm myself down with some breathing exercises, but once we both admitted to being hungry we decided to venture out of the lair in hopes Taiju would piss off. But of course, he didn't, the first thing he did was accuse Yuzuha of using a weapon to knock him unconscious.
"I'm certain it was you!" He yelled and slammed his hand on the table, if he added some additional strength I could see this poor table breaking in two.
"I have never done such a thing!" She yelled back, this was giving me an endless headache, so I used one of the chairs to make a terrifying scratching sound. Getting Taiju's attention I admitted myself to my crimes.
"Yuzuha didn't do anything, I was the one that knocked you out. Singlehandedly." I looked around this house only tea could save me in those troubling times.
"Yuzu-chan do you have any tea around?" She whipped out some earl gray which was in bags, that had to suffice.
"You're just covering for her, I'm sure." he was about to rise his fits at her, but I gave him a warning.
"Calm your big titties down, it's too early to deal with whatever this mess is. If you have so much time and energy on your hand, why don't you invest it in some hobbies?" I put on the kettle to cook my water, but he didn't seem to want to back down. I felt like an overworked mom with an army of rowdy kids, with this guy around.
"Lay a hand on her and the next thing you will experience is waking up at 9pm." He must have realized I was serious because the next thing he did was check out my arm strength.
"You have to be joking, there are no proper trained muscles nowhere in sight." Was this guy really thinking raw strength was the best weapon?
"I used my secret techniques," I explained, now retrieving my arm and making myself a needed cup of tea. The best weapon was obviously the Pixie Dust, which lets you put a guy to sleep like he was an animal that ran away from the zoo. But I noted to not overuse this gadget, there was no telling if there were any side effects.
"Since you came back from your slumber, tell me what was yesterday about." I wanted some sort of explanation, was he only going for a kiss, but then why drag me all the way to his room? For privacy?
He suddenly trapped me between the kitchen cupboards and his muscle body pushing away Yuzuha probably so she couldn't intervene, was this some kind of seducing tactic he was trying out here or what? I just held the newly brewed tea and took a sip. I wasn't expecting him to lean down to my height and whisper into my ear with a low voice.

"I was just going in for a kiss... what were you expecting something more?" What, did he try to shift the blame on me? For misunderstanding his intentions, even if he claimed it would be just a simple kiss, it looked more like he was expecting a full make-out session yesterday. I really wanted to bonk his chin with my head, but stopped myself.
"The audacity," I muttered to myself and walked away from him, I didn't want to start another fight now when he calmed himself down. I took a seat by the table, but sometimes you couldn't have nice things, because the system wanted otherwise.
'Would you rather threaten Taiju Shiba with your family adopting his siblings or clap some of those ass cheeks of his?' So it basically meant start an argument that may cause another fight or clap some cheeks and either get sucker-punched to the face or possibly receive the same treatment back? At least with the argument, he may hold himself back.
"Is fighting and screaming your usual morning routine or what?" Yuzuha seemed concerned as if she was aware this guy would become even more furious at such a question.
"What's it to you?" I guess deep down he didn't want to admit how toxic he was acting.
"Since from what I have seen... you do treat your siblings like trash, how about I take them from your hands Taiju? I'm pretty sure my mother would be delighted to have two additional kids." He suddenly slammed the table once again.
"Don't involve yourself in our family business." He warned me, but his furious glare and low voice didn't faze me, because I had a goal in mind.
"Don't you think they also should have a say in this? What makes you think you can control them?" I could see his veins popping back up. I directed the conversation to Yazuha but realized Hakkai woke up and was standing by the door frame.
"Yuzuha, if you ever feel unsafe in your own house, I'm sure my family will welcome you and Hakkai with open arms..." she suddenly seemed really moved by my gesture.
"So Taiju, maybe you should consider treating your own flesh and blood more preciously because there might be a day when they walk out of this door and decide to never see you again." I must have struck a nerve because he came running at me, Yuzuha entered a protective mode and I could see her trying to take the hit in my stead. But once Taiju was close enough I just blew the Pixie Dust into his face, knocking him out.
"Sweet Dreams~," I said as we three witnessed him falling to the floor like a log.
"What did you do?!" Hakkai yelled as he poked his brother with his foot, but he didn't move.
"Great, I don't trust this guy, so I invite you two over to my house, let's eat breakfast and migrate as fast as possible kids." Both of their jaws were open.
"You mentioned something about him not being in the house often... so I will let you two stay at my house... my parents are away so there is plenty of space." If I offered them my bed, I could sleep in my parents' bedroom. It was easy to convince Yuzuha since we were great friends, but Hakkai was skeptical, that was until I mentioned that Mitsuya was now at my house so he tagged along once we made and finished eating breakfast. There was one thing I did before leaving, I left behind a note telling Taiju.

"I'm divorcing you and taking custody of the kids." it sounded funny in my head, hopefully, he would reflect once he read this.
As we arrived I realized that the guys were still asleep, beside Chome, who was snacking on chips first thing in the morning.
"Are you Chome or Chonbo?" I asked, once he finished chewing he admitted to being.
"Chome." we exchanged some awkward greetings, and as I was about to go upstairs to see what kind of condition my room was in, Mitsuya arrived.
"What happened?" He asked upon seeing Hakkai in the house. Hakkai started to babble about the sights he had seen and in the end mentioned.
"She's a wizard Taka-chan, she blew some air into his face and Taiju got knocked out instantly." Right, it didn't strike me to land a hit on Taiju to make it more believable.
"Maybe my movements were too fast for your eyes to catch." It didn't seem like they believed my words.
"Did you drug him or something?" Mitsuya inquired as I looked at the ceiling, acting like a kid that got caught doing something bad.
"This is unbelievable." He sighed not knowing how to progress this information. Could Pixie Dust be called drugs? Then again maybe a naked eye couldn't see the substance, for me the Pixie Dust looked glittery but none of the siblings mentioned anything about it.
"What if you get caught?" Mitsuya asked, but could I really be put to jail by blowing air into someone's face where they magically collapsing to take a nap? I don't think so.
"Relax Taka-chan I know what I'm doing. Rather than talking about the negative stuff let's hear how the sleepover went." Mitsuya took a seat and started sharing his experience, most of it described how crazy it was but suddenly he mentioned.
"I tried to stop the guys but they went thru some of your stuff." I didn't mind that much learning that.
"As long they put the items back I won't be mad." I probably wasn't aware of half of the stuff that I had in that room, but then he added.
"I finished the uniforms you requested, I left them in your room." I nodded and handed him the rest of the money I owed him.
"I will go up and see how Cupid is doing." I wanted to make sure he was fed. I walked upstairs and saw both Keisuke and Chifuyu sleeping on my bed, with Cupid snuggling in between them.
"Yo Cupid have you eaten buddy?" I asked as he gave me a soft meow, I guess Keisuke must have woken up earlier fed the cat, and went back to sleep like I did yesterday, yes another quest, so much joy.
'Would you rather wake up the duo or take a picture of them and put it as your lock screen?' the second option didn't seem too bad. I clicked on the button and whipped out my phone, took a photo, and set it as my new lock screen. But then I noticed something weird. Why was Keisuke holding the nightgown that I wore yesterday? Did it have a nice touch to it or what? I decided not to question it instead, I went to prepare food for today's dinner, because I was going out to meet Izana afterward. Once the precious sleepy head woke up, I explained to Kazutora.
"I brought some guests over, they are going to stay here until their home situation calms down." I introduced them to each other.
In the afternoon I visited Izana's and Kakucho's apartment, I was briefed that Kakucho was out for his part-time job, I guess they had to survive somehow.
"So you said you would follow my directions right?" He nodded his head, great that's all I needed to know, I didn't want to force him into anything.
"Let's have a spa day... it's important to take care of oneself." I decided to inquire first about the hair and beard situation.
"How about the beard are you attached to this look, or would you want to change it?" I got the most ridiculous request.
"Can you shave it for me?" So he didn't feel like doing it himself? But I never shaven a beard before, what?
'Would you rather accept performing Izana Kurokawa's request or shave his eyebrows as a joke?' That sounded like something a maniac would do, what did the system mean, while mentioning it being just a joke?
"I will try, but don't complain afterward." There was no other way, sometimes this system was way too obvious with its choices, creating an illusion that there was any, to begin with. He showed me his shaving equipment, once he took a seat, I concentrated so much on the task that I failed to realize he was holding my waist?
"There I finished, I didn't screw up did I?" He shook his head as I sighed in relief. I took out some sheet masks that I purchased in a makeup shop.
"Let's do this then." I even added the cucumbers for more spa aesthetics and once we laid down I put on some relaxing music.
"So how do you feel so far?" I asked after 15 minutes.
"Your presence brings me some peace." Did it mean I had some tranquilizing effect on people when I wasn't mischievous?
"Let's go change your clothes and let's do some walking motion next." I decided it would be nice to walk to the park with a pond and go watch ducks or koi fish, but whenever I glanced his way to see if he was enjoying the sights I found him staring back at me. Was I such a great source of entertainment? I decided to strike a conversation next.
"How's the fresh crisp air doing it for you? Actually next time we should hit a forest... how about a camping trip?" I questioned him, and he immediately agreed.
"Great I will try to gather some camping gear and get back to you about that." Maybe such a trip could get his mind away from the depressing things? Maybe I would be lucky to see a black bear in person, that would be exciting. Once we came back I decided to clean their apartment, Izana actually helped, I wasn't sure whether he wanted to see his house becoming cleaner or assisted because he saw me struggling, but once we were done I patted his hair while saying.
"Great work." while he copied the gesture.

A Girl and Her Food
When a lost girl wakes up without a name, she quickly finds herself alone in a way that people around her can’t fix. Without a real plan and desperate to find what’s wrong with her, she thrashes and bites to stay alive. But human beings are weak things, that band together for strength, no matter who we are. Now if only she could work up the courage to ask one question... It’s normal to get stronger when you drink the blood of monsters. Right? Things to expect: - A powerful but kinda neurotic and emotional protagonist, with some degree of weak to strong. Or maybe strong to stronger, honestly. She's pretty rational and practical about things but won't always make the best decisions, so be warned if you super-dislike characters doing dumb stuff for emotional reasons sometimes. - Lots of dialogue and characterization, especially as we get more into it. It's focused on a single POV, but there might be some sections of other POVs later on, I'm not sure right now. - Magic is on the softer side, but I'll try to keep things fleshed out enough to avoid any obvious "well-established magic could have seemingly instantly solved this problem" moments. - I didn't add the mystery tag because I feel like it implies that this is a detective novel or something, but the story is absolutely incredibly opaque at times. So you'll have the most fun if you go into it trying to puzzle out the nature of events before they're explicitly explained!😇 - Also, I added the genre for completion, but it's gonna take a while to get to the romance. Please wait warmly and have some tea. Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge!
