"Hey Hime let's go to the cafeteria!"

  That beastgirl Frene still continues to follow me around. It feels like I have an annoying twin sibling following me around.

  "... Sure."

  But for some reason I don't reject her this time.

  I take out my bento and start walking.

  "Hah~ Mr. V w css really is boring, I began to doze off half an hour into his css."

  "Okay."

  "Last night I saw this anime about a guy reincarnated as a slime and you know what happened. He became friends with a dragon."

  "Hm."

  "I know this guy right..."

  She has become extremely talkative and just continues to talk even when I try to end the conversation.

  I open up my bento packed up with a well banced diet, perfect for building core strength for swordsmen.

  But Frene on the other hand, eating mountains of meat. A meal full of protein. Maybe because she is a cat that her diet is like that.

  Then my eyes slowly drift towards her bountiful chest.

  I then look at my chest... Maybe if I eat that much meat it will grow a little bit.

  Wait a minute! What am I thinking?!

  I'm happy with what I have, plus if mine were that big it will hinder my sword.

  Yeah, I'm perfectly fine. I'm not jealous at all.

  [Frene's PoV]

  For some reason I can feel cold chills running down my spine. I take a look around and see only the seas of students. Maybe I was just imagining it.

  Anyway it's already more than a week since I approached Hime. She may look like she is ignoring me but I can see she still listens to my yapping.

  For almost a week I've been observing Hime I managed to confirm one thing that can definitely hook her in.

  "Yu Jin look at this!"

  I show Yu Jin a keychain with what looks like a rabbit mascot.

  "What's that?"

  "Hehehe this is a Pofu-chan keychain that I got from a raffle. It's cute right?"

  My eyes are sneakily observing Hime's reaction and saw that she sends a quick gnce to where both of us are standing.

  Yup it's confirmed that Hime really likes Pofu-chan.

  In the game I can barely remember this side of Hime. Even though she doesn't look like it, she really loves cute things.

  With this my pn to be friends with her would definitely work.

  [Hime's PoV]

  "Hime I have a favor to ask you. Can you follow me for a shopping trip this weekend?"

  "No, I'm busy that day."

  I just rejected Frene's invitation. She is already pestering me enough during school time, I will not give up my training time on the weekend.

  "Can't you just make a bit of time for me. If you follow me I will give you this for your trouble."

  I looked at her and saw she was holding a rabbit keychain wearing an astronaut suit.

  Isn't that limited edition Pofu-chan that only has about 100 units that exist. I want it... No I won't give in to the temptations!

  "Oh well I can give it to others if you don't want to..."

  "Wait a minute!!!"

  My mouth involuntarily called out Frene making her stop on her track.

  "When I think about it again, I can make some time on the weekend. What time do we meet?"

  Frene turned around looking at me with a bright smile on her face.

  "Really!? Thank you!!! Here take it, for your trouble. Let's meet this sunday at 10 near the Strong Man fountain."

  And just like that she gave me the Pofu-chan keychain and quickly ran away.

  Well whatever since I got what I want. Looks like I need to make time this weekend.

  ***

  At an undisclosed location, multiple beastmen can be seen discussing a serious matter.

  "Crackdown by the government and those corpos has been quite frequent tely. A lot of our comrades have been arrested."

  "Our top leaders have also been either arrested or killed, if this continues our struggle will die off and those corpos will do whatever they want."

  As they are busy discussing their future pns suddenly they can hear the tapping sound of people walking towards their hideout.

  They quickly pulled out their guns and pointed it to the door. Then suddenly a knock can be heard.

  "Sir there is someone here to see you."

  The beastmen looked at one another and began to lower their guns.

  "Come in."

  The door was opened by a wolf beastgirl and not far behind her an old man wearing a nice suit comes into the meeting. He has lush white hair with a nice trimmed facial hair making him look posh.

  "Ah nice to see you. I must admit it is quite hard to locate this pce, I need to use a lot of resources to do it."

  The man then walks into the room and proceeds to sit at one of the sofas.

  "Ah would you kindly make me a cup of tea, my throat is quite perched you see."

  The wolf beastgirl slowly nodded and quickly left the room.

  "Who do you think you are? Do you have a death wish coming in here doing whatever you want."

  The tiger beastmen pointed his gun at the old man to kill him, when suddenly a phone ring could be heard. The ringing sound coming from the tiger's phone.

  "I believe that is for you."

  He took out his phone and saw a video call from someone that is named [My Sweet Little Girl].

  "I would pick it up if I were you."

  The old man sitting there, unfazed.

  The tiger picked it up and saw on the screen a tiger beastgirl gagged and tied up, at her side masked men with guns standing.

  The Tiger then can be seen shaking and quickly pointed his gun toward the old man again.

  "LET GO OF HER YOU BASTARD!!! IF YOU DON'T I'LL KILL YOU!!!"

  "I already told my men that if they see my vital sign drop to 0 they can start executing the hostages."

  Suddenly all of the people inside the room have their own phone start to ring. They take it out and all of them see the name of their loved one on their phone.

  "Let's take a seat and have a nice chat."

  The once fierce beastmen were quickly subdued and they quietly sat down.

  "What do you want?"

  The Lion beastmen who seem like the representative began to speak.

  "Ah thanks for the tea sweetheart."

  The old man takes the tea from the wolf beastgirl and proceeds to take a small sip from the paper cup.

  "Well it needs more practice but I think it is a nice cup of tea."

  The beastmen just sit there quietly observing the old man that just threatens them just a moment ago, making it hard to believe he is the same person.

  "Ah yes I'm here to negotiate with you not enjoying a nice tea."

  He then took out a rge briefcase and put it on the table. He opened it and inside there was nothing but a rge stack of cash.

  The beastmen's eyes were immediately wide open. With this much cash they will be able to buy much needed supplies to continue their struggle for equal rights.

  "You see I am representing a generous benefactor that sympathizes with your war against discrimination that your people endure. And they want to provide financial support to your struggles."

  "And what's the catch?"

  The old man then looked at the Lion and slowly a smile was formed on his face. He then reached in his pocket and pulled out a picture of a beautiful catgirl with ashen gray hair.

  "I want you to attack this girl."
