Chapter 29: Day Together and the Future Monster
Upon waking up in the morning, Kimika felt that she was in the strong embrace of a sleeping Toga, one that could not be escaped without her consent. And, worst of all, after yesterday's limit-breaking incident, she still couldn't see anything and probably wouldn't be able to see properly for several more days.
She felt utterly helpless and completely dependent on her friend, because without Toga's help, she couldn't even get up, cook for herself, change clothes, or take a shower.
Kimika wanted to try to escape this grip, even though she knew it would end badly. She began cautiously shifting from side to side, and to her surprise, the hold started to loosen, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
Feeling a chance to escape, Kimika was about to continue when a soft giggle sounded.
"Oh, little helpless kitten, do you want to run away?" Toga whispered, tightening her grip. "No, no, no, Kimi, you're not going anywhere!"
Kimika froze, feeling her escape plan fail before it had even fully begun. Just moments ago, she had a chance to flee, but now her freedom once again depended on her friend's will, which filled her with helplessness.
"No! I wasn't trying to escape… I just… well, it was uncomfortable…" Kimika tried to explain.
Hearing such an absurd excuse, Toga only smiled. She didn't even need to look at her friend's horns to know that Kimika was lying. She turned her friend's face toward her and hugged her even tighter, her voice soft but with a marked insistence.
"You still can't lie, Kimi," Toga whispered, running her fingers through her hair as if she were caressing it. "I can see perfectly well that you want to run away from me. But I won't let you go, my little one."
And suddenly, as if to confirm her words, Toga gently kissed Kimika on the forehead. It was a light, almost weightless kiss, but for Kimika, it was so warm that it stopped her heart for a moment.
Not understanding where the sudden warmth and tenderness in her heart had come from, Kimika calmed down and fell silent, unable to break free from the embrace. Her mind was tangled, and her emotions were mixed.
She felt both trapped and safe at the same time, as though she had fallen into a trap she didn't even want to escape from. She could feel Toga's warmth enveloping her, and she wasn't sure anymore if she even wanted to flee.
Toga sensed these changes perfectly. She gently stroked Kimika's back, her movements becoming even softer and more careful, as if Kimika were not a person but fragile glass that could shatter with the slightest touch.
"You don't need to run away, Kimi," Toga said, her voice warm but also firm. "I will always be here and won't let you go."
Toga paused, drawing even closer to Kimika, and then with a smile, added: "Besides, your mom's already gone, and this house belongs to just the two of us today. We'll spend the whole day together and enjoy it like never before."
These words were like a promise, that this day would be unforgettable and entirely theirs.
After saying this, Toga didn't give Kimika time to think, lifting her up and carrying her to the bathroom. Kimika felt that for this day, she would be completely dependent on her friend and her whims, but at the same time, she sensed that this day would be filled with lightness and fun like never before.
In the bathroom, Toga gently washed Kimika, not missing a single spot, feeling how her hands glided softly over her friend's smooth and delicate skin. Kimika tried to say that she could manage on her own, but nothing could stop Toga.
However, unlike the last time, this time Kimika didn't try to escape with force. Instead of fear, she felt more at ease and even some pleasure in being able to relax and trust her friend, feeling the warmth and tenderness of her hands. Yet, even though it was pleasant, Kimika couldn't shake off a slight sense of embarrassment.
This change filled Toga with immense joy, but she didn't become any more insistent, seeing that Kimika wasn't running away but rather seemed to be enjoying it. She continued with the same tenderness, even lightly humming as she went.
Her voice was soft and soothing, and every movement, every touch emphasized the care she felt for her friend. Toga was happy to see that Kimika was growing more accustomed to her closeness and support, feeling how her plan was unfolding exactly as she had hoped.
Although Toga couldn't help but admit to herself that she was almost giving in to temptation while watching Kimika's body, she was petite with a slim waist, slender legs, and graceful curves that impressed with their proportionality.
Her breasts had a beautiful round shape, which was impressive for her age, and her hips smoothly transitioned into rounded buttocks, adding even more appeal to her figure. Toga felt a slight sense of envy towards this natural grace, as Kimika possessed the kind of body every girl dreams of.
Toga realized that she felt a certain, considerable desire, but she tried to keep herself in check so as not to ruin this precious moment. However, the awareness that their training with Kimika had only just begun, and that her body would become even more beautiful and alluring over time, made Toga wonder if she would be able to resist this temptation if the situation repeated itself in a few months.
After taking a shower, Toga helped Kimika choose an outfit. She enjoyed it immensely, as they spent a long time sifting through various clothing options from the huge stash, which greatly surprised Toga.
Although she knew Kimika liked to change outfits often, seeing the collection all together made an impression. It prompted her to mentally check off Kimika's love for clothes, knowing that one day they would start going shopping together regularly.
So, even the duration of the process didn't disappoint Toga. Every moment spent with her friend was priceless. She wasn't in a hurry and enjoyed the moment, feeling that Kimika was also getting pleasure from it.
After choosing a casual outfit — a light tank top with a cute kitten print that Kimika absolutely loved, and simple but comfortable shorts — Toga, satisfied with "her" choice, patted her friend on the shoulder, smiled, and called the outfit "10 out of 10." She even felt a sense of pride for having picked something Kimika liked.
With joy, she took blind Kimika's hand and slowly led her to the kitchen, trying to guide her in a way that would prevent her from bumping into anything along the way.
They were both incredibly hungry, especially after yesterday's exhausting fight, and Toga also felt a strong desire to cook something delicious. She even imagined, with tenderness, feeding little Kimika like a kitten, spooning food into her mouth, and then, with all the care and love, wiping her mouth with a napkin.
"Kitten, what would you like to eat? I'll make anything!" Toga proudly said, striking a noble pose with her hands on her hips and looking upward.
Kimika had long been accustomed to Toga calling her "kitten" so she didn't pay it any mind. And although she couldn't see the scene, she knew her friend had done something funny and couldn't help but smile.
"I love oyakodon; my mom always made it for me," Kimika said gently, recalling the times when she would have breakfast with her mom and dad.
A hint of sadness flashed in her voice, and the memories of the past weighed heavily on her heart. But quickly regaining her composure, she gathered her resolve, knowing that she had to continue on the difficult path she had chosen to earn money for her father's treatment. She understood that, on this hard journey, Toga would always be there to support her.
"Oyakodon? It will be done!" Toga replied, still full of enthusiasm. She tried to lift Kimika's spirits with her carefree attitude, which always helped to dispel heavy thoughts.
Seeing her friend calm down again and almost look cheerful, Toga grabbed her phone, since she didn't know the recipe for oyakodon, and started searching for it online. After looking through a few recipe options and confirming that all the ingredients were available, she happily headed to the kitchen.
Believing in her abilities and confident that she could master the recipe on the first try, Toga began gathering everything she needed to prepare something incredibly delicious, with all her love, for Kimika.
She wanted to not only delight her friend but also try to make this oyakodon even better than the one Kimika's mom always made.
As she started cooking, Toga cheerfully chatted with Kimika, discussing their day. She enthusiastically shared how they would first enjoy a tasty breakfast, then dive into reading novels, where Toga would read aloud, bringing every detail to life so Kimika could immerse herself in the story, even without seeing the pages.
She talked about taking a walk around the house, promising to describe every moment: from the bright flowers blooming in the garden to the clouds in the sky. Toga imagined how they would savor these moments together, with her gently holding her friend's hand.
After preparing the oyakodon, Toga joyfully served it into two bowls, one for herself and the other for Kimika, admiring her culinary creation. Feeling proud of the successful result, she carefully brought both bowls to the table.
Smiling, Toga announced that today she would be feeding Kimika, which made Kimika feel a little uneasy, as she didn't want to seem so helpless and dependent. However, it was pointless to argue with Toga — she had already taken her "task" as a feeder very seriously and wasn't thinking about backing down from this role.
"Open your mouth, the first spoonful is coming!" Toga cheerfully said, bringing the spoon with the fragrant oyakodon to Kimika's mouth. Toga herself was thrilled by the aroma of her own creation, which promised to be delicious and tender.
Kimika, letting out a heavy sigh and feeling a bit embarrassed, opened her mouth and took the first spoonful. The sensation was completely unfamiliar, and it brought her a wave of shame and discomfort for a few moments, as she felt as though she were once again a little child being lovingly fed by her mother.
However, gradually she fully settled into the process, feeling a quiet sense of warmth and peace as she enjoyed the moment. Toga, full of anticipation, eagerly asked, "Good job, Kimi! How is it? How is it?"
Kimika, noticing a slightly salty taste, hesitated at first — she didn't want to upset her friend, but she knew she couldn't lie, and Toga would instantly find out. So, with a gentle smile, she cautiously admitted, "It's a bit salty, but... it's still very delicious..."
Hearing the honest answer, Toga felt a moment of disappointment, realizing she hadn't made the dish better than Kimika's mom did. She lowered her head slightly but quickly composed herself, knowing that sooner or later, everything would turn out well.
Smiling even wider, with warmth in her eyes, Toga optimistically said, "Well, I'll know for next time! I'll make it even better next time!"
She continued to feed Kimika, tenderly bringing the spoon to her mouth. At first, Kimika shyly opened her lips, but after a while, she no longer waited for the signal. Eagerly and joyfully, she would open her mouth, anticipating the next spoonful, not even knowing if it was coming.
Toga felt euphoria sweeping over her: every new movement, every new spoonful, brought them closer. With each bite, she felt joy, knowing that she could care for Kimika so gently, giving her only the best, even in these simple but meaningful moments.
In this pleasant moment, although she didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, Toga couldn't hold back and started a conversation about Kimika's new abilities.
"You know... in that fight, you were incredible, you dodged his hits so well! And both your eyes turned red... how did you do that? You never showed anything like that in training!" Toga asked, her admiration for her friend's transformation clear in her voice.
Hearing such a question, Kimika froze for a moment, her mouth still closed. Because of that, the spoon with the next portion of oyakodon collided with her lips, spilling across her face.
Toga immediately reacted, quickly grabbing a napkin, but at the same time, she was relieved that every time she brought the spoon to Kimika, she blew on the food to make it cooler, otherwise, Kimika might have burned herself. "Don't worry! I'll clean it up!" she said with care, trying to quickly wipe off the spilled oyakodon.
"I... well... I heard that Eraser Head said something about me... that I'm useless... garbage, dragging you down... hopeless," Kimika said, not shy to speak such harsh words about herself. And even though Toga wanted to interrupt, Kimika didn't give her the chance, continuing without stopping.
"Don't say anything... you know it's true... if it weren't for me, you would have easily escaped or just never gone there..." she said, lowering her head as if reliving those moments, but suddenly raising her gaze again, becoming resolute.
"But! After hearing that, I felt a determination and an incredible desire to prove that it wasn't true! I accelerated my body's regeneration, hoping to at least get up and return to the fight to show him that it wasn't like that! All my thoughts were focused on that, and suddenly, my left eye began to feel like it was pricking and changing. And it wasn't because of the limit! The regeneration acceleration kept getting faster with every moment, and I even felt energy from both of my horns beginning to feed into the process. And you know what? Until now, I couldn't do that, because each eye has its own horn, and each horn has its own energy reserve, and they can't share that energy. But now I could! And all my wounds regenerated in a few seconds!"
Toga listened attentively, observing how Kimika, with excitement and determination, described what had happened during the fight. With each word, Toga drew conclusions, realizing that Kimika, with great will and incredible resolve, could likely alter her left eye's ability — changing it from slowing down to accelerating. She recalled how, during the fight, Kimika's left eye became increasingly red, completely losing its blue color. Toga understood that this had likely allowed Kimika to double, or even more, the effect of the acceleration.
What was even more impressive was the possibility that she could apply the same technique to her right eye — switching its function from acceleration to slowing down.
Kimika continued describing with such enthusiasm that Toga could barely keep up with each word and process all the information.
"And then, during the fight with him, I felt this incredible desire to see his future attacks, to understand how exactly he would attack. And then I heard that same whisper that always appeared when I reached or surpassed my limit, but this time it was completely different because I could understand it. Just three words: "Acceleration, brain, eyes," and I did what it told me! And suddenly, a second silhouette of Eraser Head appeared, completely surrounded by red smoke! It moved a few moments ahead of the real Eraser Head! I saw the future, Toga! And thanks to that, I could dodge and counterattack! It was incredible!"
Toga listened to Kimika with undisguised awe, but at the same time, a different train of thought began to form in her mind. She understood that this new level of power was not just an incredible ability, but also a potential great danger. Seeing the future, even just a few moments ahead, was not simply a skill — it was a massive advantage in battle. And if Kimika learned to use it even better, if she could train and perfect her power, who could possibly stop her?
Toga couldn't help but think about it, feeling her inner resolve strengthen with each thought. She imagined her friend becoming stronger and stronger, faster and faster, even invincible. In her mind, she began to devise training routines that would help uncover new abilities and unlock her full potential. Kimika could become like a battle monster — unstoppable and powerful, and most importantly, completely under her control.
But along with these thoughts, there was another feeling — true love. Toga understood that even though Kimika would become a powerful and dangerous monster, she would always be that little kitten that Toga loved so dearly. Kimika would be her controllable tiger, obedient and loyal, and Toga would be her mentor and protector.
And in that was the true strength of their bond — Toga loved Kimika truly, as a companion for life, and perhaps, one day, when their criminal path would come to an end, they could grow old together and die in the same moment. She was ready to make Kimika the strongest, but always remembering that she remained her friend, her love for life, her one and only, and her little kitten who needed protection and care.
"This... this... is amazing, Kimi!" Toga exclaimed, hugging her friend with excitement. "We're going to train even harder!"
Kimika, unaware of her friend's plans, only shivered at the thought of even harder training and felt something she couldn't quite grasp, something that made her nervously flinch. She felt that her future was about to get even harder than it was now.
