The next Saturday we, the Gremory Group, were called over to Abe-senpai’s home. I am the one who came to do some work, but including Buchou, everyone is worried about me! Sob, having comrades sure is wonderful! I’m deeply moved. When we arrived at senpai’s residence, there was a giant western-style house in front of us. The garden is huge and the interior of the house is also magnificent. It seems senpai lives here, by herself, most of the time. Both her parents are famous monster tamers, who travel around the world for their work. When she thought her father had returned, after a long while, the matter of her engagement came up. Well, this summer, my house was also renovated into a gorgeous mansion with Buchou’s self-indulgence. It is six storeys high and three storeys below ground! The place we were guided to, after walking the corridor connecting the western-style building to another building, was the indoor pool. We changed into swimsuits, that had been prepared for us and headed towards the pool. Uoooooo! Buchou and Akeno-san are wearing swimsuits, that have so much exposureeeee! Their oppai are bouncing every time they move! Asia and Koneko-chan are wearing cute looking swimsuits, with frills on them. Xenovia is wearing a swimsuit used by athletic swimmers. Looking at the girls in swimsuits sure does feed my eyes. Even my junior, Gasper, is also wearing a cute looking swimsuit……
“You don’t have to wear it.”
I told him, just in case. Well, it does look good on him since he looks like a girl. “Iyan! B..But if I wear the boys swimsuit, my breasts will be exposed and something outrageous will happen~!”
“Who would be happy at men’s tits!”
Oh well, I should stop mucking around with my junior. “Here, this way.”
Abe-senpai urges us to go to the table by the pool side. Everyone gathered around the table and senpai explained the requirements needed to break off the marriage meeting, once again. “The requirements my father mentioned, are battle contests as monster tamers.”
“And what do you mean by that?”
When I asked, Abe-senpai answers, using her fingers. “A Battle of three matches using land, sea and sky monsters! If Hyoudou-kun wins twice or more against my father, the marriage meeting will be cancelled.”
“Land, sea and sky you say…… Even if you say that, I’m not a monster tamer. I’m not actually confident…….”
It’s me who hasn’t got a familiar yet, you know? And they are asking me to suddenly have a match, while using monsters and also win……!? Hmm, won’t this be quite hard? When I was thinking, while twitching my head, Abe-senpai points elsewhere. “It’s not a problem. The monsters we would be using are already chosen. First of all, the land monster! Come out!”
“Hokyooooooon!”
My body became stiff at the familiar howl and drumming! …….D..Don’t tell me…..! What appeared in front of us, is a giant white gorillaaaaaa! So it’s this thing after all! She’s looking at me with passionate eyes! “Uho.”
“For the land battle it will be her, the Yuki-onna, Christie.”
“That’s why, can you please stop calling that Snow Gorilla, a Yuki-onna! My fantasy is being crushed!”
Everyone! Did you know? The Yuki-onna of this World isn’t a beautiful youkai in a kimono, with a bewitching expression, but a white gorilla with a huge build which is right in front of me……
This is Christie. A Yeti(female). I don’t want to call her a Yuki-onna! When I had a tennis match against Abe-senpai in the past, I fought this Snow Gorilla while pairing up with Buchou. I sure did suffer in that match because of her freezing breath….. I don’t want to remember it. “Maybe she hasn’t realised it, but her fur is brighter than the last time I saw her.”
Buchou says, as if she finds it something to be praised! Fur is something which is nothing to be hyped about, isn’t it!? It’s a gorilla, a gorilla I tell ya! “For the land battle I want Hyoudou-kun to use this Christie and battle against the monster my father would be using.”
You are telling me to use this Goristie!? “Uho….”
Don’t look at me with such emotional eyes! Damn it! It seems like this thing got a crush on me, because of the tennis match in the past! I detest the World! “I will call the sea monster next. It’s a mermaid.”
When Abe-senpai clicks her fingers, something starts to move in the pool! It’s moves with such amazing speed! “A mermaid! Are you serious! ?”
My face glittered, because Abe-senpai mentioned a mermaid! A mermaid is that lovely creature, having the upper body of a beautiful girl and the lower body of a fish right!? “If you say mermaid, then their beautiful voice is remarkable.”
Akeno-san also gives me additional information! Wow! I’m looking forward to this! SPLASH! A Mermaid-sama comes out from the pool! “This is the mermaid, Estleena.”
What Abe-senpai introduces to us, is a massive fish with legs. It has the form of a tuna with legs! “Gyogyogyo.”
Gyogyogyo!? It has a voice which suits its appearance!? I mean, it’s a fish! This is completely a fiiiiiisssh! “What is this awkward creature! ?”
I’m so shocked, that my eyes are about to pop out and Abe-senpai says it to me straight. “A mermaid.”
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!? “Stop! Don’t crush my fantasy any more than this! My tears aren’t stopping since a while ago!”
This is a mermaid!? Seriously!? You must be joking!? This is horrible! This is like a “Dream breaker”! Who gets a benefit with a fish with legs!? “There’s no way, this thing, can perform a beautiful song! It’s a fish!”
“How rude. Estleena, sing a song for them.”
Abe-senpai asked the giant fish. “Gyogyogyo~ Gyoso☆”
It’s singing something with a husky voice! It only sounds like a cursed song! What’s a “Gyoso”!? “Please stop! I feel like stabbing it with a harpoon!”
Why! Just like the time with Yuki-onna, this mermaid, why must the world hate me!? Rather, I kinda knew something like this would happen! It seemed like it was going to turn out like this! But! I thought there was going to be a bit of pity for me! My tears aren’t stopping because of this harsh reality! “It’s a cute song.”
Asia-chan's eyes are sparkling! It seems like there was something which grasped a hold of Asia-chan. “…….T-This is just horrible.”
I broke down on the spot. No matter how I look at it, it’s a tuna with legs…… If I catch a thing like this while fishing, I would release it right away and pretend I didn’t see it. It’s so scary that I would be cursed if I didn’t release it after all! “…….There, there.”
Koneko-chan comforts me while patting my head. Uuu, Koneko-chan! Koneko-chan who is a nekomata looks so cute like this, but the mermaid and yuki-onna are creatures……
I don’t want a reality check like this~. I became very depressed. Abe-senpai says, while drinking black tea calmly. “Well, there seem to be mermaids that look like the ones in stories, but this is the typical one.”
“How is this the typical one!? No matter how you think about it, it’s a creature which goes beyond our imagination! Uooooooo!
