HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A KAIJU ENTERING A HUMAN’S BODY AND COMBINING WITH IT?

— The sound of glass breaking filled the quiet room, and i instantly freaked out at his reaction.

“Why the heck are you making a mess, Kafka-san?!” I yelled, standing up to fetch the broom and help him clean up.

“W-where did that question come from exactly? ” He questioned, giving me a look with an unidentified expression.

“Hmm, just curiosity? ” Well, i can’t possibly tell you i’m a humanoid kaiju, can’t i?

“Never heard of those. Probably non-existent. ” He finally answered my question while sweeping the glass shards.

“If. . . nah, you’re probably right. ” I decided to just drop it, Kafka-san may be an idiot but he’ll probably start being suspicious of me if i keep on pressing onto it.

“Still, Reno’s pretty late. ” I looked at the wall clock, slightly worried about that bastard.

“The results will arrive tomorrow, i heard. I wonder if we passed. ” I hummed, sipping on my coffee.

“It’s impossible for you to not pass, Guinne. ” He sighed, shaking his head.

“Why so? ” I raised a brow at his comment.

“Because it would just be impossible for you to fail. ” Reno’s voice suddenly intruded, and i whipped my head in his direction.

“Reno my baby!” I squealed, jumping out of my seat and lunging at him, clinging onto him like a koala.

“Get off, you’re a bother!” He compained, pushing me away as hard as he could but can’t. ‘Cause i’m stronger.

Well, where were you?” I asked, looking over at him from his shoulder.

“Nowhere. Just got stuck in some traffic, no big deal.” He sighed, probably tired at how persistent i am in bothering him.

What can i say, he’s the perfect target when it comes to teasing. He’s such a big tsundere, and so easy to read.

“Go and get dressed now, we have a long day ahead of us.” Kafka-san clapped his hands.

“Yeah~” I hummed in agreement, jumping off Reno’s back and walking over to my locker.

“I’ll get changed first.” I waved at Reno, rushing to the changing room in a hurry.

“Wha- no, let me go first you take too long!” He yelled, running after me but was met with a door in his face instead.

“You won’t ever reach me if you’re that slow!” I laughed from the other side, humming happily while i got changed.

Our day progressed as usual, Reno seemed anxious about the results of our tests — possibly at the result of Kafka-san’s test.

“You should put your faith onto him some more.” I sat beside the white haired man, looking over at him with a small smile.

He smiled at my words, “Also, i heard it’s not the first round he screws at but the second one.” I grinned, and his smile faded and was replaced by a frown at my words.

“Way to ruin it.” He rolled his eyes at me, and i just laughed at his reaction.

“Why are you even here?” He questioned, i raised a brow in response.

“What does that mean?” I asked, placing my chin on top of my palm as i stared at him.

“Here. At this job.” He stared back, his eyes looking directly into mine, almost as if he was searching for an answer.

“You had zero interest in becoming part of the Defense Corps before.” He added, and i just sighed at his words.

“Reno, dear. People change their decisions very quickly.” I shook my head.

“You see, i’ve fallen for someone who’s part of the Defense Corps.” I grinned, putting both my hands on my cheeks and feeling dreamy.

“He’s totally up my alley! A total hottie that fits perfectly for my taste buds and ass.” I squealed, fantasizing about his dreamy appearance.

“Who is it, then?” He questioned, raising a brow.

“Vice-captain Hoshina Soshiro! Kyaa~! His body looks fantastic. I’m certain that he’s hiding that built and juicy muscles. Men with sleeper builds are the most delicious men out there!” I rambled on, and i swear i could feel drool oozing out of my lips.

“But! Of course half of my change in decision was because of you and Kafka-san.” I turned to him with a wide smile.

“I want to see how far your two can go, and support you as best as i can.” I added, leaning my head on his shoulder.

“And besides, i realized that i shouldn’t keep running away from my responsibility as the eldest of our family. I shouldn’t waste my talent for neutralizing kaijus like this.” I closed my eyes, feeling the breeze.

“I can’t always be carefree. After all, i’m no longer the human i was once, so before i lose control of myself and identity, i should use what i have to save and ease the burden of many as much as i can.” I laughed bitterly.

“What does that mean?” Reno suddenly spoke after a long silence, he probably grew confused at my choice of words there.

“It’s nothing. Just a secret of mine.” I looked up at him with a grin, and he just slapped my face.

“You had your rest enough, get off my shoulder now.” He pushed me off, and i just pouted at how dodgy he is with me.

“Jeez, you’re so mean. ” I huffed, sitting properly and looking up at the setting sun.

A long, peaceful silence basked over the two of us. We both just stared ahead, thinking about what’s in store for us. For me.

For me who bears a kaiju inside of me. For me who has no idea how long i can stay as me.

For how long i can stay as Yoshioka Aguinne.
