James finished dressing and stepped out of his room. The wooden floor was cool beneath his feet. The hallway was quiet. He wondered where everyone was. He exhaled. He thought Miya took it surprisingly well. It could have gone either way and maybe even gotten us kicked out of the Shrine. However she did not raise the indecency part too much.
As he turned the corner, he spotted Musubi stretching in the hallway. She wore a snug white sports T-shirt trimmed in red. It hugged her figure perfectly. The outline of her large breasts could be seen. Her red gym shorts sat mid-thigh, and she had thigh-high white socks. She yawned and raised her arms.
"Good morning, James," she said with a sleepy smile.
James grinned. "Good morning, Musubi. You look stunning in that outfit," he responded.
Musubi beamed. "Uzume gave it to me," she replied with a smile on her face.
"That sounds like her," James replied. Uzume had a closet full of outfits. He thought there was more to her however he had to keep focus.
"Did Lois or anyone give you those drinks last night?" he asked.
Musubi tapped her chin thoughtfully. "They mentioned something… but I fell asleep," she replied with a big smile on her face.
James chuckled. He thought typical. "You're adorable," James said as he patted her head.
Musubi smiled and bounced slightly on her toes.
"Let's go grab those drinks," James said. "They're special, they should help you out a lot," he added.
"I trust you, James," Musubi replied. Her eyes were bright.
As they walked down the corridor, they ran into Saeko, who had her blade resting against her hip.
"Hi Saeko," James greeted.
"Good morning, Danna-sama. Musubi," Saeko said with a graceful nod.
"Hi Saeko," Musubi chirped as she hopped in place.
"We're heading to get Musubi her Perk Drinks," James explained. "Want to come?" he asked.
Saeko's eyes flickered. "I'll follow you anywhere, Danna-sama," she stated.
James thought he had seen it before in her blood lust form.
The three of them continued toward the room, where Miya stood near the doorway. Miya had a smile on her face and a broom in her hand. She was cleaning away.
"Good morning, land lady," Musubi said cheerfully.
"Good morning to you all," Miya replied. She smiled at everyone however she gave a piercing glaze at James.
James stiffened slightly. I haven't done anything… yet, he thought.
"Thank you again for letting us stay here," Saeko said as she bowed respectfully. She noticed Miya's stare but sensed no hostility.
"It's my pleasure," Miya said. "You are all paying rent which is a nice change for once," she added. "But what brings you here so early?" she asked.
"James was going to give me some drinks," Musubi replied immediately.
"Drinking this early can be dangerous," Miya said. She looked at James.
"They're not alcoholic," Saeko interjected. "They're special enhancement drinks," she added.
James thought it sounded like a drug or something. He thought it was not far off.
"Special?" Miya echoed.
James stepped forward. "I care about Musubi. I want her to be safe, protected, and stronger. These drinks will give her a little aid," James said.
Musubi raised her fist with a bright smile. "I'll get stronger! I'm a fighting-type Sekirei after all," she said.
"Fighting type?" Saeko asked.
"Close combat specialist," James explained. "She's built for hand-to-hand," he added.
"You're quite knowledgeable," Miya said. She thought he had more knowledge. She looked to see his watch.
"I do my research," James replied.
Miya's eyes drifted to the blade Saeko carried. She paused. She could sense something deeper. "That's a unique weapon," she said. "I can feel its aura," she said.
Saeko held the blade close to her chest, nestled between her breasts. "It was given to me by my Danna-sama," she said proudly.
Miya smiled back. "Take care of it and him," Miya responded.
"Saeko Miya has some experience with swords so she can give you some tips," James said. "Miya can you give some training to Musubi and Saeko please," James requested.
"Please land lady," Musubi said.
Saeko knew Miya was strong. James had told her. "Please can I request your guidance," Saeko said.
Miya giggled. "Okay I can help," Miya responded. She looked at Saeko`s blade and smiled.
The four of them headed into the room and James opened the suitcase. He took the seven bottles out and placed them on the wooden table. Each one had a different color. labeled with strange names such as Quick Revive, Mule Kick, Speed Cola, Juggernog, Double Tap, Stamin-Up, and Who's Who.
Musubi looked at them. "They all look strange," she said with a smile on her face.
"Are these really going to make her stronger?" Miya asked.
"Maybe not directly however they give you passive abilities," Saeko responded as she was polishing her blade.
James thought Miya being here was fine. He thought she was trustworthy and she was going to join them. He thought maybe not now but when they come back, she will. He smiled, it would be like they never left.
"Seako is right, they are aids. Each one boosts a different ability. Just try them, Musubi and see how you feel," James said.
"I trust you with all my heart," Musubi responded as picked up the first bottle. It was Quick Revive. She took a sip. Her eyes widened. "It tastes like minty soap," she coughed. Then she drank it all down.
"Are you okay Musubi?" Miya asked.
"They all taste very bad," Saeko added.
"For James," Musubi said as she grabbed the next bottle, Mule Kick and downed it. "Yuck," she said.
Musubi took the bottle of Speed Cola and drank it down. She then Juggernog and drank that down immediately. After that she took Double Tap and drank it down.
"Slow down Musubi," James said. She was drinking it all down quickly.
She took the bottle of Stamin-Up and took a long gulp and finished it.
"You are drinking very quickly," Saeko remarked.
Miya stood there in silence.
Musubi stared at the last bottle, Who's Who.
"This came from that strange machine," Miya remarked. She remembered seeing the logo of this bottle and the machine which played music all the time.
Musubi drank it quickly. "All done," she said. She had a face that looked like it was going to puke.
"Are you okay?" James asked. He thought she drank it really fast.
"I am," Musubi said with a thumbs up.
James smiles. He pulls her in once more and gives her a kiss on the lips. Their lips meet for a brief second. Musubi's heart fluttered as she felt James` lips. She smiled. James withdrew. "That makes it better?" James asked.
Musubi nodded. "Yes it does," she said as she pressed her large breasts against his chest.
Saeko smiled. Musubi let go.
James looked at Miya. "Miya do you want these drinks?" James asked.
"No," she responded.
"Please just one for me," James responded.
Miya looked at him and glared. However she sighed. "Just one," she replied.
James smiled. He thought baby steps. "Which one?" James asked.
"The last one," Miya responded.
James nodded. "I have one," Saeko said as she took one out of the bag. She gave it to Miya.
Miya looked at the bottle and popped it open. She drank it all down in one go. "This tastes horrible," she said as she looked at James with a death glare.
At that moment, Uzume appeared wearing a light pink bikini with a distinctly frilly, feminine design. The top covered her stomach and she had a matching bikini bottom. "What are you all doing here?" she asked.
"We were just talking," James responded. He looked at Uzume. She had long sexy legs. Her large breasts could be seen. She looked sexy in that outfit.
"And, I am going to show Saeko and Musubi some techniques now," Miya responded.
"Oh can I see?" Uzume asked.
"Sure," Miya responded.
Meanwhile, from a secret room, a burnt orange hair woman with long side plaits and orange eyes typed away. She wore a loose-fitting white dress and red heels. She also had glasses. She had many monitors in front of her. "What an interesting man," she said. She looked to see Musubi drinking all the drinks. "What are those drinks exactly?" she questioned.
She saw the aftermath of a steamy scene. There were no cameras in the room but the other camera had audio and all the noises were picked up on. She almost passed out from the nosebleed.
"Focus Matsu," Mastsu said. She looked at the Machine from the camera. "What is it?" she wondered. She then smiled and looked at James. "A handsome one for sure and already has many women," she added. She started to giggle. She could feel her heart beat pounding.
