Arifureta: Negative Emotions

The Goddess' Sword and Shield

Approaching through the mountains is a massive army of monsters. Leading the army is the robed man Tio talked about.

"Nagumo-kun, Xiao Long-kun, is there anything you could do about this army of monsters?" Aiko asks.

....

...

Lake Town of Ur

Sitting at the docks just outside the Inn is Hajime, Yue, and Ruby, with the others standing behind them. Aiko, David and the Inns owner sit across from the three, Yuka stands off to the side behind Aiko.

Tio is in the Inn, resting.

"Xiao Long-kun, Nagumo-kun, would you please help us?" Aiko asks. "If you don't, they'll destroy the town, and hundreds of lives will be lost!"

Hajime crosses his arms. "Well, that's unexpected. I thought you always put your students first and foremost. Didn't think you'd ask one of them to lay their life on the line for a bunch of strangers."

Aiko looks down in sadness, before looking back at Hajime with a look of determination. "Of course, as a teacher, my students always come first. But I don't want to cast aside the many people of this world, who I've met and grown to know. I wasn't able to help either of you in your time of need, so maybe these words don't mean much to you... But I don't want you two to live a sad life where you cut ties with everyone and everything!"

Ruby then speaks. "Sensei, no matter what happens from here on out, you'll still be our teacher, right?"

"Of course!"

"No matter what decisions we make, even if it's not what you would've wanted?"

"That's right." Aiko agrees. "As long as you two listen to what I have to say before you make that decision."

Ruby and Hajime look at each other and nod. Then they stand up and walk off, their girls following. 

Aiko stands up. "N... Nagumo-kun! Xiao Long-kun!"

Hajime stops, Ruby stops a few steps after. "There's an army headed this way. I'm gonna wanna get ready."

Aiko smiles. "Nagumo-kun!"

"Only 'cause my teacher told me." Hajime glances back at her.

Hajime goes outside of town and creates two large walls. Aiko's four students help with evacuations. Ruby is off in the mountains, creating multiple Grimm Pools with a smile on her face.

Ruby heads back down the mountain and goes over to the two large walls that Hajime created and sees a bunch of Men building sandbags. Neo is doing her best to help.

She hears some yelling and looks over to see Yue, Blake, Aiko and Shea with food. 

Everyone takes a break and gets some food. Ruby sits on a log trying to eat her food, but Tio keeps trying to feed her.

Ruby would slide away from the Dragon, but she would slide right back next to Ruby, trying to feed her again. This happens a couple times before, Tio starts to moan in blush.

Neo sweat drops as she watches the scene. 

Then when the sun starts to set everyone goes home and gets some rest, but Hajime and Ruby stand on the outer wall, looking out to the mountains.
