“What’s so good about her?” Aoi crossed her arms and puffed her cheeks as we walked onto the platform “she’s not even all that pretty.” She grabbed her chest “I can have bigger, perkyer-“

“That’s not a word.” Hypnos hissed.

“Grammar Nazi.” Kinky hissed back.

“Correction.” Hypnos cleared his throat “Literary Nazi.”
 “Same diff.” Kinky shrugged and rolled his eyes looking back at Aoi “why are you so jealous of her? It seems like you’re getting feelings for the meat bag?”

Aoi stopped “take that back.” She pointed her finger at Kinky “now” her fingernail began to sharpen and grow “or I’ll take you down. Weird Goddess-God thing who has no power.”

“Here they go again.” Hypnos walked up to me ignoring the two of them “are you sure this place grows apples?”
 I nodded “used to come here a lot. And this place is known for their apples. So.” I paused “what’s up with this Demeter and apples?”

Hypnos laughed “this Demeter, what are they teaching you in these schools? Greek mythology, well it’s true so I don’t think you can put it under the umbrella term of mythology. Besides the point. She’s a Goddess, a pretty powerful Goddess, and Kinky’s mother.”

“I thought Lilith was.”

“Gods and Goddess have multiple moms.”

“Lesbians?” I tried not to smile “lesbian Goddesses? I’ve played a game like that. The Goddess of V.”

“I don’t care for your weird ass shows.” He said shutting that down “and it’s not like that. In fact, Lilith hates Demeter for having Kinky after she had already had Kinky.”

“Huh?”
 Hypnos shrugged “it’s complicated and I doubt your tiny Japanese brain can’t handle that overload.” He winked “but the apples. Let's just say I need the apple to get back to my normal self.”

“Because you were a lady, right?”

“Why do you say that so skeptically?” Hypnos leaned on his hips.

“How is an apple going to help you become a lady?” I turned to face him as we got to the doors of the train “are you going to cut a hole and put ‘it’ inside it?”

Hypnos smiled weirdly “does your mind always go to the dumbest thing possible.”

“I’m a guy. I’m basically born dumb.” I pointed in Aoi’s direction “just ask that dumbass.”
 He laughed “yeah. She’ pretty dumb.” Hypnos pointed at Kinky who was jumping around Aoi “guess that makes that one the dumbest of the dumb.”

“Can’t believe you guys are married.”

“Me either.” We both shared a laugh and got on the train with the other two.

“Yuuuuuuuuu-kun.”

“Shut up, Aoi.”

She puffed her cheeks “let me sit by the window.”

“Shut up.”
 “I’m going to kill her.” Hissed Kinky.

“Please do.” I said, “I’ll pay you.”

“How much?”
 Hypnos put his hand on Kinky’s shoulder “no.”

“A few million yen.”

“Really?” Kinky shot up in his seat “I’ll slaughter her now.”

“Where are you going to get that kind of money?” Hypnos crossed his arms and glared at me.

“We can sale her body parts.”
 “Those won’t fetch much.” Hypnos nodded in her direction “most are inhuman. And the Demon Black Market is oversaturated.”

“True.” I put my finger against my chin “sale the apartment.”
 “Isn’t that your parents?”

“True. So what would I do, Hypnos?”


“Fu** her.”


I fell to the ground in shock “wh-wh-what?!”

“You want her to leave. She can only live with your soul. Seems like an easy fix.” He smiled “I mean you seem like you can handle that monster.”

“What does that mean?”
 “You’re clearly a bottom.”

“What?” I shouted getting in his face “I’m not a bottom!”

“Had me fooled.” Kinky said cross his legs “you wear panties.”

“They are comfortable.”

“Play with dolls,” Hypnos added.

“Action figures!”

“Play with yourself”

“Stay out of this Aoi.” I hissed.

“Right.” Kinky said nudging Aoi in the side “a real man doesn’t play with himself. That’s gay. I mean you're a man. Touching yourself. Touching a male part while you're turned on. Kind of Gay.”

“That’s not the same!” Screaming I looked out the window.

“Has a point.” Hypnos said “doesn’t make sense for a straight man to touch his own private areas. And then consider him straight. Maybe bisexual.”

“But Yuuta.” I could feel Kinky staring at me “is clearly gay.”
“How?!” I was now shouting in the train. “So I like action figures! I wear Victoria’s truth underwear! What’s gay about that?!” I stood up, “Nothing wrong with that. I’m cool with the gays. I mean.” I pointed at Hypnos and Kinky “you guys live with me.”

“But we’re not gay,” Hypnos said.

“So those moans at night are what?!”

“War!” Kinky shouted matching my shouts “that’s how demons fight!”

“With a ** * ** * * * * ** * ** *(these are too descriptive for our readers and thus are censored SORRY BLAME HYPNOS)”

“Wow.” Hypnos looked at me shocked “you watched all that and yet, your straight?”

“Bottom.” Kinky whispered “big ol’ bottom.”

“You guys sleep in the same room as me!”
 “In the closet,” Hypnos said “kind of ironic.” He laughed a bit “but you still listened.”

“Kind of hard not too.”
“Right. Bet you were kind of hard.”

“You’re barking up the wrong tree, Kinky.” I pointed at him “this man bites.”

“Hopefully not while you suck.”

“I hate you guys!” I slammed back down on the seat. “Ouch!” I jolted back up “something just poked me in the ass.”

“Hi Yuuuuuuuuuu-kun!” I turned to see Aoi sitting there.

“See?” Kinky kicked me “bottom” and I fell face first into Aoi’s lap.

“Not in public you two!” Hissed Hypnos.

“Dear God. Kill me.”

After a few hours of an unbearable ride, we finally reached the end of the station. I waited till everyone got off before I made a move and even then I made sure none of the other people could see me.

“So this is the place?” Hypnos smiled “strange.”

“What’s the name of this place?” Asked Aoi.

“*****” They all looked at me as if I said something I shouldn’t have “what?”

“That’s. This place?!” Aoi looked around “I knew I smelt them.”

“I thought that was Yuuta.” Kinky giggled.

Hypnos grabbed his arm “leave him alone. He’s the only thing that’s going to mask us.”

“Mask you?” I rolled my eyes “from what?”

“You’ll have to read,” Hypnos said.


“What?”


“The light novel, The Faeries are not real by E1.”

“Ew.” I said ignoring the rest of Hypnos rant “I hate his stories. There utter shit. He, she, it can’t write.”

“Take that back!” Kinky shouted, “he’s a genius!”

“If you consider lude comedy or knock-off horror good. Then yeah he’s a genius.”

They both glared at me.

“I like his story about the succubus.” Aoi added, “like me!”

“No one cares.” I said walking away “now time to find that apple.”

“Hey Yuuta!” Aoi grabbed my arm and pulled it “can I go over there?”

I looked at the ice-cream shop “you’re an adult. Do you.” I looked at the kids sitting over “don’t do anything stupid and embarrassing. The villagers here are kind. Weird. I’ll get us checked into the hotel.”

“We got about ten minutes away from him.” Hypnos said “before they smell us out. And another bell breaks.”

“God forbid that.” I said rolling my eyes “guess I’ll have to read that poorly written junk to know what you're talking about.”

“It’s art.” Hypnos said calmly walking after the running Kinky and Aoi “just remember Yu, they're not real.”

“Yeah....."
