3rd POV

"You guys are in so much trouble." Fubuki scolded while leering over a sheep demi, a cat demi, a dog demi, a dragon demi, and a gorill- ehem, angel.

Zeno on the other hand, head pats a little onion at the side, making said onion flustered and confused on what to do.

"You're lucky that it was just me and Zeno-san, or else if it was A-chan who came in..." Fubuki didn't need to finish that sentence in order to send her message, as all of them shivered, except for Zeno.

"Anyway! Zeno-san, can you stop bullying Aqua-chan?" Fubuki glared at Zeno who just stared at her with a deadpan face, while his hands went to pinch Aqua's cheeks.

"I don't know what you are talking about Foxy-senpai," Zeno remarked with no expression on his face.

"Just let go of Aqua-chan please." Fubuki facepalmed.

"Oh, you mean this cute little onion? Okay then, off you go little onion. Pray that you don't encounter me again, as there will be more than just head pats for you next time." Zeno winked at Aqua who ran away in a fluster and hid behind the dragon.

"Zeno-san, she is your senpai you know that right?" Fubuki deadpanned at Zeno.

"So? I see no problem with giving my senpai some love and head pats." Zeno shrugged and stared at five girls who still haven't introduced their selves.

"W-why are you looking at Watame like that? Watame... Did nothing wrong okay?" The sheep spoke first with her voice trembling, before smirking right after.

"Oya? A sheep, one delicious delicacy sheep meat is." Zeno smirked and loomed over Watame.

"E-eek!" Watame shrieked and hid behind the dragon as well.

"So, it's you." The dragon spoke, surprising everyone except Zeno.

"We meet again, Kiryu-chan," Zeno smirked and held out his hands towards the dragon lady.

"I told you for a bajillionth time, Zeno, call me Coco." Coco shook her head helplessly and took Zeno's hand and shook them.

"What can I say? I like a good tease." Zeno shrugged his shoulders and then stared at the cat and dog duo, who are having a cute teetee moment.

"Is this... Normal?" Zeno leaned towards Fubuki and Fubuki only chuckled and nodded.

"Huh, well, nice to meet you Neko-senpai and-"

"Yubi yubi!" Zeno stopped and shivered immediately, backing away from the dog lady with an impressive backflip, only to end up bonking himself to the ceiling.

"Fuck!" Zeno crouched and held his head in pain.

"I told you to stop with theatrics for a long while now, but you still do it. Look what happened?" Coco smirked smugly and put her hands on her hips while looming over Zeno.

"You ain't better than me, you goddamn drug dealer." Zeno glared at Coco with tears on the corner of his eyes.

"HA?! What did you call me, mutt?!"

"I called you a drug dealer you old hag!"

"Shut up! You fucking stupid mutt!"

"I'm not a mutt! I'm a Thunder Beast! I guess it's true when they say that, 'big boobs, no brains'. Ha!"

"Oh?! Who was it that fell over the moment I kicked his nuts, huh?!"

"OI! That was low blow you big chested hag!"

Fubuki and the others blinked in confusion as they stared at the two butting heads with each other.

"A-ano~ Do you two know each other?" The gorilla angel asked.

(A/N: Not gonna bother correcting that...)

"I DON'T KNOW THIS OLD HAG/SMELLY IDIOT!" Coco and Zeno said at the same time, making them glare at each other.

"A-ah... I see, I'm Kanata by the way Zeno-san." Kanata introduced herself and smiled while holding out her hand.

"Pleasure to meet you Kanata-senpai. And thank you as well for taking care of this old hag." Motioning over to Coco with his thumb as he said so, while his other hand grips Kanata's hand.

"Oh, it's nothing!" Kanata smiled angelically while Zeno suddenly stiffened. If one looks closely at his hand that was griping Kanata's hand, you can practically see his veins snaking around his hand, as he tried to keep in composure.

'SHT! That freaking hurts! What the hell is wrong with this grip strength?! Are you secretly a Gorilla, Kanata-senpai?!' Zeno strained his smile as he tried to take his hand back.

"Oh sorry, I forgot that I have an unusual amount of strength. Teehee." Knocking her head and sticking out her tongue, Kanata made a pose while Zeno clutches his hand in pain.

"Y-you don't say..." Zeno looked at Fubuki and thought.

'I'm going to die here sooner than with those Hunters...' Fubuki grinned at him cheekily as her revenge from Zeno's earlier prank is successful.

'Seriously, when I said earlier with Yagoo that I will deal dragons, angels, and psychopaths, I didn't really think it will come true. Is it too late to regret it now?'. Zeno lamented in his mind as stared at the ongoing chaos of Coco and Watame arguing over a fighting game as Coco's character keeps lagging for some odd reason.

Glancing to the side, he saw Fubuki, Kanata, along with the two lovely couples.

Zeno then chuckles as he felt a presence beside him and patted the little onion.

Aqua stiffened and got flustered again at the touch and just lowered her head, lowkey enjoying it.

"Eh, no use for crying over spoiled milk, plus, what's the worse that could happen?" Zeno muttered to himself, as he smiles slightly.

However, once those words came out of his mouth. The atmosphere suddenly froze, making Zeno flinch.

Slowly but surely, everyone turned their heads at him, even Aqua. Their eyes containing emotions such as shock, surprise, and lastly fear.

"You did not just jinx yourself." Coco pointed at Zeno. Making him flinch harder as realization dawned upon his face. Only one word came out of his mouth as he stared at everyone.

"Shit."

+----------------------+

Before you complain, the good thing is that there is an update. The bad news is, it's very short. About 1k words or so. This is due to Author's very desperate situation as a lot of things needs to be done, either it be schoolworks, chores, and amongst other things. As such, there will be chapters that are a bit shorter than my usual 2k word count or higher.

Anywho, I hoped you enjoyed this one as much as I did while writing it. Umu, that's all for now, ja ne demochinsss~
