for Advance Chapter
During the day, she spent almost all her time with Jingliu. Jingliu actually seemed to have taken an interest in teaching (she was never stingy with passing on martial arts), and she began formally instructing Rappa in the basics of swordsmanship or... martial arts.
Though Jingliu taught orthodox swordsmanship, Rappa always understood it through her ninja theories, occasionally blurting out things like "So this is the true essence of the secret arts of the XX Style!" Her chunibyo comments made me chuckle, but her skills truly did improve at a visible rate under Jingliu's guidance.
At mealtimes, Rappa pushed "respect for the master" to the extreme. If Jingliu was there, she would sit upright and eat the food prepared by Lingsha or Himeko quietly, copying Jingliu's cool demeanor. She even slowed down her eating, abandoning her previous style of devouring everything like a whirlwind.
Watching her behave so well under Jingliu's "discipline," I felt she had completely forgotten her original goal of catching some "御猿·邪忍" (U-monkey Evil Ninja). Her mind was entirely filled with the great task of studying "Supreme Ninja Arts" under Master Jingliu.
However, her daytime obedience couldn't hide the fires that had been quietly lit. That "Dual Cultivation" session—led by Lingsha and "assisted" by me under the guise of "teaching"—had opened a Pandora's box, flipping a switch deep within this pure chunibyo girl.
Since then, every night...
Sometimes, while I was reading or checking my terminal in my room, I'd feel a chill on my back. I'd turn around to find Rappa standing silently behind me like a true ninja. Her cheeks would be red, her gaze shifting, yet her eyes would hold an irrepressible, fresh excitement and desire. In a voice barely louder than a mosquito, she would whisper:
"Um... Lord Bat Ninja... Recently... I've learned some... 'Bedchamber Secret Techniques' from ancient texts (heaven knows where she found them) that are said to increase cultivation and strength... I wonder if... you would... like to try?"
Facing such an invitation—both shy and proactive, yet wrapped in the guise of "cultivation"—how could I refuse?
And so, we might start a new round of "Dual Cultivation" on the bed in my room, or behind a grass-scented bush in the garden, or back by the steam-filled outdoor pool where it all began...
I have to say, though Rappa was still incredibly green in terms of technique, her vibrant and amazingly flexible ninja body, along with her half-yielding, half-proactive shyness, provided a completely different, youth-filled, and supreme enjoyment...
One night, March 7th and I found ourselves with nothing particular to do, so we huddled on the living room sofa, playing a game that was currently viral on the interastral web—Genshin Impact.
I was exploring the world on my character when I casually tapped the "Wishes" interface.
"Vroom—" Suddenly, a blinding gold light flashed across my tablet screen!
"Whoa—! I got it! I got it!" I almost jumped off the sofa in excitement, staring at the screen as a gorgeous figure appeared—the one I had been longing for, with beautiful pink hair and charming fox ears: Yae Miko!
"Uwaa! Trailblazer, you're so lucky!" March 7th, who was playing in the same co-op party, leaned over to look. She let out a wail. "Curse you! Why can't I do that! I lost my 50/50 again! Waaa... my Raiden Shogun..."
"Hehehe," I gloated as I admired Yae Miko's art on the screen. I couldn't help but brag, "What does this mean? It means Lady Miko loves me!"
As I spoke, my gaze drifted to March 7th, who was moping about her bad luck. She was also sporting cute pink twin-tails today, and while her frame was smaller, it was still curvaceous and full of youthful energy... Looking at her beautiful figure and matching bright pink hair, a bold idea popped into my head.
I nudged her with my elbow and whispered with a smirk, "Hey, March..."
"What! I'm in a bad mood, don't bother me!" She gave me a dirty look.
"Hehe, don't be mad." I leaned closer, my voice full of suggestion. "Look, you have pink hair too, and you've got a great figure... How about... you cosplay as Yae Miko? Maybe the Raiden Shogun will see you and take pity?"
"Yikes—!" Hearing my words, March 7th jumped like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Her face flushed red, and she looked at me like I was a pervert. "Trailblazer! You're so gross! Don't think I don't know what perverted things you're thinking! No way! In your dreams!"
She rejected my "unreasonable request" flatly.
"Sigh..." I slumped back onto the sofa, disappointed. My mind began to wander: What if... what if I could really spend a night with the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine, that mysterious and charming fox envoy? Just thinking about her body... it would probably be enough to drive anyone crazy with pleasure...
Just as I was lost in my unrealistic fantasies, a voice—hushed and mysterious—spoke in my ear.
"Hey, Lord Bat Ninja..."
I jumped and turned to see Rappa leaning in close, having appeared silently. She was holding a cloth and some strange-looking kunai, seemingly having been maintaining her ninja gear nearby.
Seeing me look at her, she pulled me into a corner of the living room, away from the still-complaining March 7th. With a "I know a big secret" expression, she whispered: "Lord Bat Ninja... do you also like that lady from another world called 'Yae Miko'?"
"Uh... yeah, I like her a lot." I nodded instinctively.
Hearing my answer, a smug, "I knew it" smile appeared on Rappa's face. She patted her chest and whispered, "Hehe... well, you asked the right person! Others might not be able to, but I, the Dazzling Ninja Rappa, have a way to let you see Lady Miko with your own eyes!"
"Really?!" My eyes widened as I looked at her in disbelief. Rappa... actually had a way for me to see Yae Miko? How was that possible?!
"Of course!" Rappa puffed out her chest with confidence. "A ninja's information network and secret arts are beyond your imagination! Follow me!"
