Chapter 23: Nagumo Mutsumi

Chapter 23: Nagumo Mutsumi

It was an afternoon at the beginning of the week.

"So this is Shinonome High School? It’s really big."

Shinonome was a fairly large city located about 30 minutes by train from the Tokyo Metropolitan School for Exorcists.

Shinonome High School was located in the center of the city and was a very big school which was rare nowadays. The school also occupied an expansive area due to its large student population.

"This place looks like it will have plenty of work for us!"

"It also looks like it’ll have plenty of cute girls!"

Soya, who wore the same School for Exorcists uniform as me, and Karasuma, who wore a pantsuit, seemed enthusiastic about our new jobs.

…I was worried that Karasuma’s enthusiasm was going to cause unnecessary work for us though.

"Hey Karasuma, don’t cause any unnecessary trouble, alright? Just be calm and stay quiet."

"Hahaha. I know, I know."

How worrisome…

"Well anyway, let’s go to the staff room and give our greetings."

Together with Soya and Karasuma, I entered the school building through the guest entrance.

The staff room seemed to be on the upper floor, and as I climbed the stairs, I could see the city of Shinonome from the windows in the hallway. I suddenly remembered a piece of "advice" Mei had given me when she was on my lap. It was something I had already passed on to Soya and Karasuma.

"Shinonome seems to be experiencing an increase in random attacks on its streets lately."

Mei had been nuzzling her face into my stomach when she said that, as if she were trying to soak her voice and breath into me.

"There are no serious injuries yet, so it hasn’t become a big deal, but things seem to be getting worse little by little. Police are still investigating at the moment so we don’t know if this is due to a monster or since it’s early spring, a pervert… at any rate, please be careful."

"A pervert wearing a coat and mask, huh?"

The description she had given me fit the stereotype of a suspicious person perfectly and seemed incongruous with the beautiful city I saw before me.

Regardless of whether they were a monster-turned human or an eccentric pervert, I didn’t want to have anything to do with them.

As I absent-mindedly gazed at the scenery, next to me,

"H, how can there be such big boooobs!?"

Karasuma suddenly cried out in a strange voice.

Startled, I looked next to me but Karasuma was already gone. Where did that idiot go!?

"Gyaaaaaa!? What the hell is wrong with you!"

"Buheee!?"

I looked over and saw a big commotion going on at the end of the hallway. Karasuma had thrown herself in the direction of a female student with a ponytail and tried to squeeze her breasts. However, she was smacked back with vicious force before she could manage to do anything.

It was currently passing period so there were students from Shinonome High School present here and there in the area near the staff room. As a result, the commotion was attracting quite a bit of attention.

This moron! Causing trouble when we had barely even set foot in the school!

"Excuse me, excuse me! Are you okay!?"

I ran over to the girl with the ponytail, stepping on Karasuma who was laying face-down on the floor.

Damn it, rather than the pervert in the coat and mask, I should have been more careful about the pervert next to me!

"You guys… don’t seem to be students from our school?"

The ponytailed girl glared at us as she hid her breasts which had been targeted by Karasuma with her hands–ah no, her hands couldn’t hide them at all.

I swallowed hard.

If there was ever a moment more deserving of a hard swallow, this was that moment.

The ponytailed schoolgirl’s breasts were really too big. Soya also had quite large breasts, but the ones in front of me were even bigger.

Mt. Fuji, cumulonimbus clouds, the giant statue of Buddha in Nara Prefecture… humans were creatures that instinctively felt a sense of awe towards big things.

The huge breasts before me emitted an immense pressure. It almost seemed like they had the magical power to attract people’s attention in a way that couldn’t be understood through reasons like sexual desire.

"Hey, are you the same as the pervert down there?"

"Hm?"

The exasperated voice of the ponytailed girl finally brought me back to my senses.

"Good grief. They get in the way of practice, the stares are annoying, and they draw idiots like you people… I would give these lumps of fat to someone else if I could."

She spat out words that would have grieved any girl with a flat-chest and stared at us with hostility.

"So, what are you guys doing here?"

"I’m sorry for what happened earlier! We were assigned to your school’s spiritual disaster counseling room and are beginning our work today!"

Soya stepped on Karasuma and bowed her head together with me.

"Come on, Aoi-chan, stand up! Apologize!"

"Uuuh."

As she was pulled up, Karasuma brushed her hands over the spots that had been trampled by Soya and me.

"I thought it would be risky but… I couldn’t help myself… what demonic breasts."

Karasuma said as she stared down towards the ponytailed girl’s breasts, not looking like she had repented at all.

No, you sprung towards her without even a shred of hesitation, didn’t you? Any thoughts of it being risky didn’t even cross your mind, did it?

Or rather, she hadn’t even apologized.

"Spiritual disaster counseling room? You guys are about my age, aren’t you?"

"Uhm, well, you see, we’re students at the School for Exorcists and we’re what you call trainees… professional exorcists in training."

"Huh, in training, you say…"

The ponytailed girl showed an extremely distrustful expression in response to Soya’s words then said,

"Then how about you give me a magic spell that can make these breasts less noticeable and can stop people who jump at my breasts like her from appearing. At any rate, I wouldn’t want to go to a counseling room run by people like you guys."

She spoke cynically in a mannish tone then walked briskly away.

The other students who had seen what happened also directed doubtful gazes at us.

"I can’t believe that girl had the nerve to do that to Nagumo-san… I can understand her feelings though."

"But as expected of Mutsumi-chan, she beat away that girl so easily. She’s so cool. It’s hard to believe we’re both first-years."

From what I could hear from those around us, the large-breasted ponytailed girl was a first-year named Nagumo Mutsumi. She seemed to be a celebrity in this school not only for her breasts but also for her personality.

Her influence in this school would not be small.

"Our work has somehow become much more difficult even though we haven’t even begun our jobs yet…"

I felt worried about how we would do in the future.

"….Aoi-chan."

"Yessh!?"

"We need to have a reflection session."

Soya said so in a low voice as she pulled an ear pick from her pocket.
