Liohime's eyes slowly opened, and he was met with the sight of a white ceiling darkened by the lights being turned off in the room where he was lying in.
He took a few seconds staying still, trying to remember what happened before he passed out, but was interrupted by a loud snoring sound.
Sitting up, he scanned the area around him, confirming that he was on a couch in the living room and then he turned his gaze to the ground below him.
A massive wolf-like monstrous entity lay curled up beside him on the concrete floor.
Screaming at the top of his lungs, Liohime immediately jumped away from the couch like a cat on instinct and hit his back hard on impact with the ground, but quickly scooted away on his butt until his back touched the ceiling.
With the shrill sound waking the beast up, his teeth chattered and his body twitched in cold fear, as he genuinely feared for his life.
The entity crouched up on all fours and slowly advanced towards the young man.
With two elongated black crystal horns emerging from its head, the green and dark brown fur glistened in the moonlight. Green and white flowers bloomed all over its body, and blade-like vines emerged from the ground beneath the head-sized paws each time a step was taken.
Its eyes were like those of a serpent's, and a light green diamond shaped crystal remained in the center of its forehead. Vicious fangs laid bare as it opened its drooling mouth that was only a few inches from Liohime's face.
And then…
"Master!! You're finally awake!!!"
Eh, wait, what?
The mischievous tone of a young woman escaped those jaws.
Liohime blinked in confusion, absolutely shocked as he couldn't not process what he was seeing. How could he?
Suddenly, what snapped him back was the disgusting, salivated tongue of the beast that licked his body, from his torso to his hair, slothering him with a drench of saliva.
"Plehhhgh!!!"
He immediately spit out a handful of saliva that entered his mouth and now looked at the monster with a bit of disgust. Yuck!
Now shivering in the cold fluid with his heart still racing as he came to term with this…thing in front of him, he sputtered:
"W-Wha…What….are…you?"
And once again, the familiar voice of a young woman that he recently met spoke:
"Master, stop playing games! You know that it's me!!"
The beast then looked at him up and down slowly, then looked at her paws.
"Ah wait," the wolf-like beast continued, "I'm in my beast form, that's why. Hold on a sec, Master."
Why does she keep calling me her master? Liohime questioned internally. And what does she mean by…
Suddenly, the beast in front of him contorted, twisted, stretched, condensed and shortened into the figure of a young, dark-skinned woman in front of him.
"W-Wait…you are…"
That memory immediately came back to him. It was the memory of what occurred before he was knocked out.
"You're the naked girl in my shower!" he blurted out.
Yes, yes she is.
Suddenly, his eyes lowered, and they were met with the captivating allure of her naked breasts.
"Y-You're still naked!!!"
Yes, yes she is.
Turning bright red, his gaze dashed away from the explicit reality that was right in front of him and he turned around and faced the wall.
He had somehow managed to avoid seeing the other private part up until now.
U-Ugh, now my imagination's going crazy…
"Please put on some clothes!"
"Hm? Oh, sure thing, Master. Although, I think I can just cover my boobies with my scales."
"Huh? What?" He was genuinely appalled now. Scales?
"All done, Master, you can look now."
On hearing this, he then turned around, half-expecting some sort of interesting clothing concept that she made out of 'scales' like she said.
--Only for her to be covering both of her bare areolas with her two hands and uncovering them a split second later with an "Oopsie!" and a teasing smile.
Blood shot out Liohime's nose and he tumbled back, causing the woman to roar with laughter.
…I can't believe I'm narrating this. What do I do with all this envy?
"Okay, I'm sorry, Master, I'm sorry. I'll do it now, so please forgive me," she said, before touching her right ample breast, causing green opaque scales to form into a homemade bikini.
"There we go, all done, according to your command, Master- eh? A-Are you okay?"
I think you killed him, girl.
Thankfully, the rapid blinking of Liohime's eyes confirmed that he was still alive, and he wiped away the blood from his nostrils.
"Hey. Why are you calling me your master?"
Posing this question to her, he finally asked what had been on his mind the entire time.
He had come home to some random girl showering, got jumped on, then found out that she could transform into a….
Wait.
A random thought crept into his head.
A beast….transform….his house…
He then looked into the ever so cheerful eyes of the dark-skinned woman who finally spoke.
"Isn't it obvious, Master? It's because I'm your Magical Beast Girl, after all!"
His eyes widened, and they could only continue staring into the eyes of the one who remained crouched in front of him.
That had to be it, he thought.
The reason why this beast-girl was in front of him…was…
…Because of him.
Liohime Katagami, the Chief of the Thief-For-Hire Sector from the Shinigami Soldiers had taken up an offer to sneak into a branch of the Magical Beast Cornerstone Corporation in Polar Town to steal a Rare-Type Magical Beast egg for a client.
He had completed the mission, but kept the egg at home while he went out for a drink.
The egg hatched at home.
Somehow, the Magical Beast from that egg recognized Liohime Kitagami as its 'Master'. But how? They were not contracted to each other.
The Magical Beast, which has both a beast form and a human form, went to the shower for some reason.
Liohime Kitagami then returned, and found her in the shower, which then led to this.
In that moment, as if he had finally come to a solid conclusion, an awkward smile began to form from his lips.
Ah…I'm so fucked.
--This was the beginning of the countless series of various misadventures from the seventeen year-old Shinigami Soldier and the Magical Beast who wouldn't leave him alone...that would eventually come to a violent end.
