PHASE 24 - I HATE GIRLS NIGHTS ESPECIALLY THAT I'M THE ONLY BOY

PHASE 24 - I HATE GIRLS NIGHTS ESPECIALLY THAT I'M THE ONLY BOY

Quick trivia. Tiara Hikari's Guardian Ability is <Assimilate>, which makes her able to absorb energy through physical contact. But using this ability makes her sleepy, dizzy, and hungry so she rarely use it in battle.

I have a theory where Tiara absorbed the silver gumiho's power back then, thus, making her able to turn into her <Silver Fox Form>. She's really good at sucking, hahaha.

Anyway, I'm quite wary of going home to the Kozukata Shrine. I don't know if Tiara's fate has changed. Just to be so sure, we wanted to avoid that place if possible since according to the vision, she's going to die in that place.

So Jeannette and I asked to stay at Tiara's condo unit for the rest of the night. It will be the best scenario to watch over our shrine maiden. Tiara was even glad that we're accompanying her in that lonely condo unit.

Helena waved goodbye at us when we left the school entrance. She's concerned about Heushac since that baby boy does not know how to cook and clean or live by himself. She said that she's just one call away, and she will be there if we need her.

So now, there are only three of us.

Or so we thought.

When Tiara opened the door to her room, we were greeted by an annoying voice.

"Congratulations!" Asumi gave her thumbs up in front of our faces. Ayano is behind her, blowing a party horn.

Poot! Poot!

"What's the occasion?" I said.

"It's the end of your training camp in our shrine! You just graduated on our training course! Moreover, you succeed in saving our adorable Tiara-chan~"

Pooooooot!!! Ayano blew her horn again. It was twice as hard as before, so her eyes are a little bit watery.

"We're going to drink like crazy! Yay!" Asumi presented a box of traditional rice wine (I believe it's called sake in Japanese) and a hot pot machine set, together with delicious-looking crabs.

Tiara now has waterfalls on her mouth.

Asumi must've noticed that I'm a bit uninterested, so she pestered me some more. She had this devilish smile at me and had a private conversation with my ear.

"Those rice wines are not those cheap brands you see in the market! They are specially made by our shrine maidens. We call them Super Kuchikamizake! Tiara's rice wines are unbelievably sweet, so I brought all of them here!"

"Kuchikamizake, you say?" Jeannette is cringed as she happens to eavesdrop. "Thanks, but no thanks. I'll buy my own liquor."

"You look underaged, Jeannette," Ayano commented. "You can't buy liquors- eh?"

"<Goddess Core: Freya Ascension>!!!"

Jeannette shouted as her body became covered with golden light! All of us was surprised when Jeannette's body transformed into a tall 25-year old looking Goddess Freya. "I can." Jeannette/Freya said. And then she disappeared with a blinding golden streak.

"Let's take a seat and get started! Woohoo!" Asumi cried.

Pooooot! Ayano blew her party horn again.

It's the third round of our hotpot and the last supply of our meat and crabs. The crabs they brought are large, fat and tasty, and the beef is tender and soft. Combined with those special sakes and 90% proof alcohol that Jeannette bought in a convenience store, I say this is the best hot pot party I ever got in my life.
