Kiri La Kill - Chapter 27

And this right here is the second chapter of the day… Tomorrow will be the start of a new quest in the form of Chainsaw Man on Akun, it will be short and sweet, and I really mean ‘short’ this time. I've put update limits on myself and everything.

Anyway, let’s get back to our Hardboi, we have some more fun activities to involve ourselves with!

——————————

The Godrobe, Senketsu.

It was a pretty hoity-toity name for what was basically a sailor uniform/an exhibitionist’s wet dream. But Ryuko felt as though it could call itself whatever it wanted, so long as she continued to feel that power it gave her.

Though it sucked on her blood like a leech, the rush of power that flooded her limbs made it feel like an afterthought. The practice run that she took it had exceeded any expectation she might have had, as it showed her the full potential of Senketsu

…Plus, it really felt nice to have someone to talk to, even if she made sure to give the thing a piece of her mind! What bright idea had compelled it to strip her and then drink her blood, Ryuko would never know!

Now, all that remained of her was to go back to Honnouji Academy, and try again…

…She wasn’t gonna go and throw herself at the final boss right away though! She didn’t even know what that guy was actually capable of with his power!

No, she just needed to go and save Mako, beat up everyone that might be tormenting her--- and start tearing her way through Honnouji as she trained herself to take on her enemies, climbing the ladder all the way to Kiryuin Satsuki as she got the answers she sought!

Heh, and who knows… maybe it would be easier than she thought, hadn’t Honnouji been shown its place recently?

——————————

“Matoi Ryuko… I see.” Satsuki murmured to herself, as the Elite Four bickered among each other, her voice cut through their chatter in an instant, as they all turned to her like particularly well trained dogs.

They waited for her to elaborate on her thoughts, but only one person in the room had the initiative to see beyond that, and actually speak without being prompted.

“So, we’re doing what we talked about before?” He asked.

“You have free reign over how you want to handle her.” She said to him, “It shall be your first trial as one of my elites.”

Kirishima didn’t seem like he particularly cared for the pageantry she put on at the end, which was more than fine with her… She’d just thrown it in there so that the actual Elite Four, watching the matter like a hawk, wouldn’t get on her case.

She could really do without a headache right now, and the type that they induced was enough to surpass even the soothing nature of the tea that her butler served her.

Just as well, the fact that he held himself above the petty rivalries of the Elite Four by having cordial relations with all of them (she really needed to refer Gamagoori to a therapist) would mean that they wouldn’t seek to undermine him.

In fact…

“I might push around the Clubs a bit to help with that.” He said, not sugarcoating it at all as he addressed his fellow elites. “Especially the ones who have uniforms remaining.”

“We already have a shortage of Goku Uniforms for our clubs…” Inumuta was the one to speak, even as the others frowned. “We received an influx of Life Fibers from REVOCS, but that won’t even be enough to grant all of the 1-stars their uniforms back- if we were to lose more…”

“It’s fine.” Satsuki dismissed without much thought. “It is in our best interest to have less Life Fibers running about regardless.” A pause, as she considered a possibility. “We will focus on upgrading our most elite warriors, rather than spreading our firepower.”

“So Kiri’s little playmate would not only get stronger, but help us separate the wheat from the chaff…” Jakuzure murmured, while Satsuki noted how Kirishima flinched at the way she said his name… another flashback? Something to note.

That seemed to settle everyone down just fine.

“So… what’s your plan, Mr. Quirky?” Sanageyama was the one to speak, the usually laidback boy throwing what was ostensibly, an actual friend to him, a grin filled with anticipation. “How will you deal with our newest delinquent?”

“I’ll give her the best training motivation that one can have.” He said, sounding like he was speaking from experience. “A rival to surpass.”

It had been a long time since Satsuki had felt anticipation like this.

How… fun.

That emotion that had only grown more pronounced, as a student barged into the room, and told them that Matoi Ryuko had returned, was flashing everyone, while also beating them up while looking for Mankashoku Mako.

And it was revealed that she had somehow gotten her hands on a Godrobe.

Yes… Matoi Ryuko was definitely set to prove herself that everything that Satsuki wanted her to be. Now with that Godrobe, and the help of Kirishima Eijirou… it would not be long before she had yet another peer.

And who knows?

Satsuki’s eyes slid toward Kirishima, as he slowly grinned as he watched the Life Fibers disappear into his unwitting disciple’s new ‘armor’.

She really couldn’t wait to see what he had in store for everyone.

But most of all, she really couldn’t wait for this mission to help him get over his little slump.

A short chapter... but we have already begun ramping up everything to reach a fever pitch! Like I said earlier, another double update coming tomorrow! One of them for Kiri la Kill, and the second one for the Rob and Illya Omake for the monthlies, enjoy!
