David followed Marin back to her bedroom and took a seat on the left side of the loveseat once again.
Marin crawled on the ground and looked for a certain DVD.
When she finally found it, she shot up and shouted, "Found it~!"
She took the DVD out of the box and loaded it up in the DVD player, then turned on the TV and grabbed the remote before sitting down next to David.
David, seeing the DVD box, asked, "'Akame ga Kill!'? I haven't seen it in forever. I didn't think you'd be into something like this?"
⟪ At least I know I won't run into any 'Akame ga Kill!' characters now, though that should've been obvious since it was in another world anyway. ⟫
"Umu, Esdeath is way too sexy for me to ignore!"
"Ugh, tell me about it. Esdeath would be a perfect wife. If I could, I'd go to her world, destroy the Empire, and bring her back with me."
⟪ Actually, I'd probably bring a couple others from Night Raid along. Their world is garbage anyway, why live in constant conflict and corruption when you can come to Japan? While I'm positive there's corruption here, once I'm influential enough, I can just get rid of the annoying flies. Oops, starting to get angry at the old men sitting in power, haha~... ⟫
While David was thinking that, Marin had turned on the TV and prepared to start the show.
"Do you want any snacks before I press play~?" Marin asked while leaning a bit closer to David.
⟪ Ah, she smells wonderful. ⟫
'Whoa, he smells amazing.'
They thought that at the same time, though Marin was the only one who knew that.
"I don't mind, I'm not a picky eater so you can just bring whatever you usually eat. I haven't eaten today yet anyway so I won't complain."
"Heheh~, you got it! Be right back!"
⟪ ... This is the first time we've met and she's already acting like a perfect girlfriend. Alright, that settles it! I'll flirt with her like crazy until she can't help but fall in love with me! ⟫
Marin: 'Hawawawaaa~! He's right! What the hell am I doing?!'
A couple minutes later, Marin came back to the bedroom with her arms full of snacks and drinks.
"Okay~! For drinks, I got us some ramune. For snacks, I got strawberry Pocky, Melonpan, Jagarico, and some shrimp chips!"
She set all the snacks and drinks on the table and introduced them all, wearing an excited expression on her face the entire time.
"Awesome, this looks great. Thanks, Marin."
⟪ Honestly, I've never eaten any junk food in this life so most of these are new to me. I used to eat Pocky and shrimp chips in my past life, though. ⟫
"Heheh~, of course! Help yourself to whatever you want since I'll use the 30,000 yen you gave me to buy more snacks tomorrow~!"
David nodded and reached for a cup of Jagarico.
"Okay~, let's start the show! Also, don't stare at Esdeath for too long or I'll shut it off. She's mine!" Marin looked at David, narrowed her eyes, and puffed up her cheeks playfully, looking like a cute chipmunk.
⟪ Fuck, she's cute. ⟫
"Haha! Marin, could you even handle Esdeath? She'd probably dominate you in less than 5 seconds!"
"What?! No way! She'd totally fall for how cute I am and want to be best friends! You're the one who'd get dominated!"
"Oho~?"
David stretched his arm out and leaned it on the backrest behind Marin before leaning closer to Marin until she could feel his breath on her ear.
"Do you really think so?" He whispered.
Marin blushed, but didn't move.
'Dammit, David is really a bad guy! But this is so hot~!'
Marin, still blushing, turned her head to look at David who had just pulled his head back slightly.
"I-I don't know, she has ice powers while you only have a hot body and handsome face. Looks can't beat powers!"
David tilted his head while staring into Marin's eyes, though now David's eyes had a bit of a fiery light in them.
"Who said I don't have any powers? And how do you know my body is hot, huh? You weren't peeking at me in the shower, right, Marin? I'm a stranger in your home and only naughty girls would do something like that."
⟪ Teasing her is too much fun. She's giving me too many ideas with how much she's blushing. ⟫
"W-What?! I didn't peak at you! I was in my bedroom and kitchen the entire time!"
⟪ Pffft, hahaha! ⟫
"Mhm, sure you were. Don't worry, I won't sue you for sexual harassment. I've worked on my body for a long time so I know how attractive it is. Besides, I might just peek at you in the bathroom the next time as payback. Your body is rather nice as well so it's only fair, right~?"
Marin's face turned even more red as her imagination ran wild.
'He wants to peek at me?! What if he really did and I noticed? Would I stop him? Or maybe... Would I invite him in? No, what the hell am I thinking?!'
"Hmph, see what happens if you do! Anyway, let's start watching now!"
⟪ She didn't just gain tsundere tendencies did she? Nah, maybe just lightly. A true tsundere would be Eriri Spencer Sawamura from Saekano, or Erina Nakiri from Shokugeki no Soma. Nino Nakano from Quintessential Quintuplets, Kaguya Shinomiya from Kaguya-sama: Love is War, and Yukino Yukinoshita from Oregairu are also perfect tsunderes. Ahhh, they're the best. ⟫
⟪ If I ever come across a tsundere, it'll be so much fun teasing them... Except Nino Nakano, she and her sisters may be cute as hell, but they're all just as troublesome. Well, Yotsuba isn't as bad. She doesn't do well in school, but she's super lovely and energetic. Anyway, while tsunderes are troublesome, they're also wonderful and would be fun to tease... ⟫
Aside from Marin, there are quite a few other girls out there that are also in shock due to the names mentioned along with some others angrily shouting at the voice in their heads that, 'I'm not a tsundere you bastard!'.
"Um, Marin? Aren't you going to start the episode?"
'Ah, crap! His inner voice is too interesting!'
"Ahem! Of course, I was just warming up the remote first so it wouldn't feel lonely when I put it down, heheh~."
⟪ Mm, Marin is a cutie. I wonder if she'd be against being my first wife? ⟫
'You can't say something like that, David!'
"I see, that's a valid reason. Wouldn't want Remote-chan feeling lonely after all."
"Umu, you get it~!"
Marin nodded and hurriedly pressed play on the remote.
They started on the first episode and were laser-focused throughout the whole episode. When it got to the part where Tatsumi saw the aftermath of his friends' torture and murder...
⟪ Haaa, they always have to put some tragic bullshit in. I get that it's for character development, but why torture the girl more than the guy? I swear, some of these Japanese authors really love brutalizing women. Reminds me of Kayla... Nope, let's not think about that and just focus on the anime. Hmm, at least Leone and Akame are cute. ⟫
'Kayla?'
Marin was curious about what David was talking about and wanted to ask him, but remembered she couldn't and was left with an itchy and irritating feeling of curiosity.
After hearing his voice, she took this chance to talk about the show.
"Who's your favorite member of Night Raid?"
David put his hand on his chin and thought for a few seconds before saying, "Hmm, probably Leone. She's blonde, flirty, has big breasts, and is just feisty enough for my taste."
"Ohh~? So you prefer blondes and bigger boobs over smaller ones?"
"I like all hair colors, but her personality fits her hair color. As for breast size, it depends. They have their pros and cons, but for me, I do like them big enough to where I can lay my head on them or play with them in my hands. It's also a plus if they can fill up my children's stomachs with enough milk."
David tore his eyes away from the TV and looked over at Marin to see her staring at him with a mischievous look on her face.
"Why do you ask? Are you self-conscious about your own breasts?" David asked, leaning a bit closer to Marin once more.
"Eh? Why would I be? I have D-cup breasts, those are plenty big to satisfy most."
"D-cup? Are you sure you're not overestimating yourself~?" David asked as he slowly moved his gaze to Marin's breasts that were only covered by a thin tank top without a bra.
⟪ Damn, she's not even wearing a bra. I'll have to teach her why that's dangerous later... ⟫
Marin stayed silent for a few seconds, thinking about how she should respond and trying not to blush too hard when she saw David staring at her breasts.
'I feel like if I continue flirting with this guy, he's definitely not gonna let me off easy. Ahh~, it's so fun! Also, why didn't I wear a bra? And why doesn't it bother me that he's staring?!'
Marin also leaned closer to David, leaving only about 15 cm between them, close enough for her to be able to smell him.
'Ah~, he smells like strawberry shortcake...'
"Heh~, you wanna verify 'em yourself or are you just talkin' smack?"
David smirked at her, causing her to lean back and turn back towards the TV with a red face.
"Just kidding~! Keep watching, the second episode is about to start!"
⟪ Mhm, you saved yourself at the last minute there. If given the chance, there's no way I wouldn't squeeze your breasts. I'm a healthy young man, okay? Ah, thinking about it and staring at her breasts was a bad idea... If she looks over, she'll see something scary in my pants. Clear your mind~, clear your mind~. Don't worry about your boner, Marin wouldn't be so naughty as to look at my dick. ⟫
Marin, unable to resist the obvious provocation, turned her head slightly so that she could get a clear look at David's crotch.
'HOLY SHIT!'
She immediately shot her head back to look at the TV again, but she kept looking at David's erection at least once every ten seconds.
'HE'S REALLY A BAD GUY! I GOT CAUGHT UP IN HIS RHYTHM, UWAAA~!!!'
⟪ Heh, it seems I was wrong, Marin is indeed a naughty girl. I dunno why she keeps looking over, but judging by that massive blush on her face, I think it's safe to say she learned not to tease me in the future if she can't handle the consequences. ⟫
David and Marin continued watching the second episode of 'Akame ga Kill!' until the credits rolled. Before the third episode could start, David stood up.
"Alright, it's 10:00 pm now, it's about time I go to sleep. I'll take the couch in the living room. I wake up at 6:00 am every day automatically so once I'm up, I'll head out and look for a place to stay."
Marin widened her eyes, completely forgetting about David's situation.
"Oh, gotcha... Well, I had a lot of fun tonight. I'd love to watch more anime with you and show you some of my favorite games!"
David nodded while walking to her bedroom door.
"That sounds like a good time. I'd never turn down a beautiful girl's request so invite me whenever you want."
Marin also stood up and quickly blocked David's way.
"Um, do you have LINE?"
⟪ Ah, I forgot. How could she contact me if I don't have a phone? ⟫
"Sorry, I wasn't even thinking. I don't have a phone or anything like that. I'll have to go buy one tomorrow."
Marin's eyes lit up, "Really?! In that case, how about I go with you?! I was going to go buy materials for a cosplay I want to do and was heading to Akiba. We could go look for a phone for you there if you want?"
⟪ Hmm, that's a good idea, but I'll still have to look for a place to live and I can't exactly do that easily without a co-sign--wait... Can't I just use light and earth magic to make a fake person to co-sign? Damn, I'm really dumb... ⟫
Indeed, David is really dumb. He doesn't know the specifics of co-signing a lease on an apartment in Japan and doesn't know how seriously they take their paperwork...
"Sure, that sounds good to me. I've gotta look for a place to stay after that, but I'll definitely have time before then. Ah, speaking of which, do you know if there are any vacancies in this apartment complex?"
Marin answered immediately, "Yes! This place is kind of new so there are still a lot of empty apartments. Are you thinking about living here?"
"Yeah, I like the layout of the place and having a cute friend nearby would be nice. How much is the monthly rent?"
"Hmm~, from what I remember my dad telling me, it's 200,000 yen per month including amenities and such."
⟪ 200k per month isn't bad at all for a 2LDK in Tokyo. By the way, where in Tokyo am I exactly? Ugh, I can't wait to get a phone so I can see what's going on in the world. Isolating myself since birth and not paying attention to the world around me was kind of a stupid thing to do... ⟫
"Got it, would you be willing to go to the administrative office with me tomorrow and wait for me to rent an apartment? If so, I'll treat you to a date in Akiba while we go shopping in the morning."
'A date?! He's moving so fast!'
Marin had a very cute and excited expression on her face when she thought about having a date with someone as handsome and mysterious as David.
"Kyahaha~! I love it! Yes, let's do it! Since we're going to be going together tomorrow anyway, do you want to stay up and continue watching anime?"
⟪ Damn, she's too cute. I was actually going to practice magic in the living room tonight, but it's almost impossible to turn Marin down... It's fine, I'll just review and practice my magic in the morning. Marin's happiness now takes precedence over magic practice. ⟫
"Sure, let's watch a few more episodes." David replied with a smile.
'Yabai... His face is too dangerous!'
Marin turned her red face away from David and dragged him away from the door, leading him back to the loveseat.
"Sit down, I'll refill the snacks!"
She pushed him down on the seat and quickly ran out to get more snacks.
⟪ She really shouldn't run in those clothes. Her ass and tits are jiggling like crazy. Her body is too dangerous! ⟫
'YOU'RE DANGEROUS!'
Marin and David were totally in sync with their thoughts.
The rest of the night was pretty uneventful.
They watched two more episodes, stopping at the end of episode four—not because they wanted to, but because they both fell asleep on the loveseat.
Neither of them meant to fall asleep next to each other, but sometime late into the night, they ended up shifting around. David was lying on his stomach while Marin hugged his left arm against her soft, bouncy chest.
David would most definitely have trouble controlling himself if he were awake.
