After resting for several minutes within the park, Liohime took it upon himself to take a stroll around its perimeter with his Magical Beast Girl.
As they constantly passed by other beasts with their owners, Shihon was able to get into her underrated pastime- comparing other Magical Beasts with herself.
That one looks ugly as hell, she thought as she spotted a caiman with numerous tails that outstretched into snake heads. Half-afraid that it could snap at any time, she steered clear of its way.
That one's pretty, I guess, she surmised as a beautiful peacock with glowing yellow runes all over its fluttering feathers.
And..
I want you gone. Now.
…She had once again passed by Tisha Marsey and Michi, who were both standing together and looking off into the distance at a small bridge that snaked over a beautiful pond below.
Still, the wind that blew against her face gently felt incredible, and her mood easily improved as a relaxing sensation set in.
In her mind, this was what life was all about, which was just enjoying time alone with the person she adored the most-
"Last one to the big tree is an overweight slowpoke!"
Eh?
Shihon stopped in her tracks, eyeing the young man with a playful expression darting away from her with top speed.
Her Master had suddenly challenged her to a race.
Liohime widened the gap by a great size and yelled out, "Haha! Catch me if you can slowpo-"
He didn't get to finish.
How could he, when his Magical Beast kicked up dirt while bursting forward with incredible agility, cracking the ground below her paws and exposing the dirt beneath in a split second?
"Wha-HUH!?"
He now broke into his top speed, nearing an oak tree that overshadowed the center of the park that he could reach in about five seconds.
Still, as his breathing quickened, his lungs inflated for air, and his muscles contracted and extended for power, he could still feel a figure looming in on him, getting closer with every second, until…
WOOSH.
Shihon blitzed past him while he was only a few feet away from the finish line, and slowed down at the end goal just before she could crash into the group of people relaxing and loitering around the base of the tree.
Panting and trying to catch his breath, Liohime staggered to Shihon who proudly kept her beastly head high.
"Yeah, yeah, you won. Take it in."
Knowing that she was now in the close proximity of others, Shihon decided not to boast, but stared at her Master with endearing eyes, clearly requesting something.
He stared back, and then exhaled.
"Look at you, fishing for compliments….come here."
She neared his crouching body and Liohime began to pet her and stroke her fur.
"You're soooo fast, and soooo beautiful," he cutely told her. "Who's my lovely partner? Yes, you are!!"
"Purr, purr, purr, purr…"
"H-Hey, since when could you make cat sounds?"
***
For Liohime, this was a great change of pace for him, as he usually idly stayed inside of his house most of the time.
Now that he had been getting more active outside thanks to Shihon, he was thinking about making a serious change as to ensuring that his body remained fit.
In a way, he was grateful that the Magical Beast that was now laying peacefully next to him had come into his life.
He put his hands behind his head and lay his back on the ground, with his line of sight facing the bright blue sky that was partially obscured by the leaves and branches of the tree that he was under.
A while had passed, and he had noticed that his partner had been pretty silent, as he tilted his head to take a look at her, he viewed the sleeping Magical Beast Girl still in her beast form.
Ah, she's finally knocked out, huh? Dreams do come true, after all.
His vision slowly became blurred, and his eyelids began to close as he accepted the rare peace and quiet.
In just about less than a week, it would be one month since he had met Shihon for the first time.
Time flies, huh?
"Summer is ending," he muttered under his breath, "and the one month….anniversary…is almost…"
He began to drift off to sleep, and Shihon opened one eye as she peered at him and flashed her fangs in a toothy grin, successfully feigning her rest.
Now is the time that I can finally make my move! Mission: Kill Tisha the Harlot is on!
She quickly got up and took a step forward-
"Go back to sleep, Shihon."
-And immediately lay right back down with a snarl.
"I've gone through way too many sleepless nights with you to fall asleep without caution that quickly," Liohime scoffed, still keeping his eyelids closed. "Please leave Tisha and her Magical Beast alone."
-hk, he even knew about my intentions!? He…he got me!
During the short time that he lived with her, he had already gotten a good grasp of some of her intentions.
That's kinda scary! she thought. But also kinda hot! I love him!!!
And unable to contain herself, she gave his face a big lick, covering him with cold, wet, saliva.
"PLEHHH!!! UGHH!!"
"Sorry, not sorry!"
…Is what she wanted to say, but kept quiet and pretended not to notice what she had done as she quickly began to scratch herself while Liohime wiped his face with his shirt in disgust.
"Now I'm all sticky and slimy….hey, I can spot that perverted smile of yours from a mile away. Get your mind out of the gutter."
Wiping away some of the saliva on the grass beside him, he frowned at her, but then snickered.
"What the hell…well, at least today can't get worse than having a disgustingly loving kiss from your Magical Beast-"
Spoiler alert: It got worse. Way fucking worse.
Because before he could even finish his sentence, a hot, slimy substance dropped onto his hair from above and trickled down the tight side of his face.
White and green colored bird excrement had been dropped from above him, and he completely froze while Shihon tried her absolute best not to roar into laughter.
His right eye twitched, and his internal decision was now final.
Yeah….let's go home already.
