Ayano left the bathroom and continued browsing the store. He went to the miscellaneous items section where he bought various equipment, including a set of lights that could be attached to suits or carried, extra batteries, ropes, a first-aid kit, a large tent with a detector, a set of sleeping bags, and cooking and camping gear. He spent about $250,000, mostly on the tent and detector, which cost $200,000.
While reviewing his purchases, Ayano noticed a pretty girl enter the store. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was his classmate, Amamiya Aoi.
Ayano watched Aoi for a while and noticed how hesitant and confused she seemed about buying. He approached her slowly. "Hi, Aoi-san."
"Huh?!"
"H-Hi, Ayano-san."
"Are you preparing for the exam?"
"Yes, and you?"
"Me too! I've already bought everything I need. What about you? Do you need any help?"
Seeing Aoi's hesitation, Ayano smiled slightly.
"Why are you so hesitant?" "Come, let's buy what you need."
Ayano led Aoi around the store, and after learning some details about her ability, they chose gloves with serrated claws and grips, as well as shoes with a retractable blade that could be extended from the toes and heel.
Ayano saw that Aoi was happy with her purchases but still seemed hesitant. He sighed softly, then went to Ms. Fujiwara and spoke with her briefly. He gestured to Aoi, who smiled and handed him a gold-colored key.
Ayano quickly returned and led Aoi to a room measuring 200 square meters and 6 meters high.
"Ayano-kun! Is this the testing room?"
"Yes, it is!"
Ayano answered Aoi calmly, then asked her to put on her suit and all her equipment and test it in a real fight.
After putting on her gear, Aoi used her ability, which Ayano deduced belonged to a kangaroo species. Her body became thicker and stronger, yet slightly shorter, and a two-meter-long, thick, furry tail appeared.
Aoi sparred with the test dummy for a few minutes. Ayano noticed she had a decent foundation but lacked any clear fighting style or technique, so he stepped in.
"Aoi-san! You're not fierce enough! Let me show you how!"
Ayano gestured for Aoi to step back, then began delivering punches and kicks that seemed simple at first but were incredibly fast and powerful, making hammering sounds with each impact on the dummy.
"This is roughly how your fighting style will be! You need to utilize your enhanced limbs, strike hard, minimize unnecessary movements, and then try to link those strikes into a series of continuous movements."
Ayano explained more details to Aoi for her to practice, then pointed to her tail.
"Look at your tail! It's big, and it's clearly very strong and flexible."
"It might seem like a weakness at first, but if..." "You've developed it well, so it will become a very effective weapon!"
As he spoke, Ayano approached her and grasped her tail in the middle, near her rear end. He liked the furry texture.
"Huh!"
Aoi was startled by Ayano's closeness. Lost in thought, Ayano pulled her towards him.
"Watch out!"
For some strange reason, the doll moved to attack them both. After pulling Aoi closer, his hand positioned itself perfectly against her rear end, and he pressed his middle finger into her opening.
"Ahhh!"
Aoi felt an electric shock and shyly pulled away from Ayano, who stared at her in surprise, smiling inwardly. He had provoked the doll without her noticing.
"Sorry to startle you, Aoi-san! Are you alright?"
"Huh...huh..." Aoi sighed wearily. After regaining her composure, she nodded to Ayano that she was fine, but her cheeks were very red, and beads of sweat had formed on her neck.
Ayano moved instinctively, leading her out of the room and showing her an attachment that would fit into combat suits. It would automatically cover her tail with flexible armor, tipped with a sharp blade, when her ability was activated.
...
Fifteen minutes later, Komoto Nana and Serizawa Yukiha walked slowly through the Golden Rose shop and approached the weapons section.
The two girls quickly noticed their classmate Aoi, who had sluggishly clung to Ayano and asked for his advice. Ayano also noticed them approaching and smiled happily.
Yukiha's beautiful appearance and Nana's voluptuous figure made Ayano feel like crying.
'Damn it, why didn't they send me to this world sooner?' '
Although Ayano thought about this, he didn't forget for a moment that this wasn't a simple hentai world and that there were great dangers outside the walls of the big city that could kill him before he even realized it. That's why he was still helping Aoi prepare herself perfectly. He would undoubtedly recruit her into his guild, and if he let her C-level ability slip through his fingers, he would feel terrible.
"Nana! Yukiha! You're here!?"
Aoi ran towards Nana and Yukiha, and the three of them chatted happily. After a few minutes, Aoi gestured to Ayano, and Nana nodded and approached him.
"Hello, Ayano-san!"
"Hello, Nana-san!"
"Ano! Aoi told me that you helped her buy equipment for the beginners' test, and I'd like your help too. Is that alright?"
"Of course! I'd love to!"
"Really! Thank you, Ayano!"
"Come on, let's get down to business with the weapons!"
Nana ran quickly towards the heavy weapons rack, and Ayano's penis became erect as he watched her plump ass sway. 'Damn, this girl!' 'You'll kill me!'
Ayano followed Nana and spoke with her briefly, learning that her ability was also of the Bloodline type.
This type of combat ability is the most widespread among the planet's inhabitants and varies almost endlessly, with new bloodlines being registered among the Awakened every year.
Ayano chose a large, black, two-handed axe. Noticing Nana's hesitation at the price, he smiled. "Don't worry, Nana! This is my aunt's shop, and I can help you get a discount. I can even lend you some of my spare money!"
Seeing Nana's hesitation, Ayano quickly continued, "The test is crucial for your future, and you can't afford to hesitate."
"You'd do all this for me?" Nana felt tears welling up in her eyes, which reddened. She had never expected such sudden kindness.
Ayano sighed and led Nana to the testing room. She smiled and thanked him for his kindness. Normally, access to this room required a special subscription or a hefty fee, and it could only be used for a few minutes, unlike now, where it was free and unrestricted.
Once inside, Nana used her ability. Her body became slightly larger, her muscles, chest, and buttocks bigger and firmer. Two small horns sprouted from her head, and her ears and nose became slightly wider. Fur also spread across parts of her body, like her neck.
'Hmm!' It seems to be a breed of bull.
After Ayano guessed the type of ability, he watched Nana face the test dummy. After a few minutes, he approached her and helped her correct some of her movements. The two practiced for fifteen minutes until Nana deactivated her ability. She looked exhausted but smiled happily.
"It's really just as Aoi said!"
"Ayano-kun! You're absolutely amazing!"
Nana suddenly jumped up and hugged Ayano. She felt his hands wrap around her waist and something hard press against her stomach. She quickly regained her composure.
"Oh! Sorry, Ayano. I got a little carried away."
Ayano stared at the shy Nana as she pulled away. He pulled her waist towards him and kissed her passionately.
"Ah!" Nana felt stunned, her brain burning.
"Ayano-kun kissed me!" 'Ah, this... this is my first kiss.'
'His tongue is wrapped tightly around mine, and I can feel his hard penis pressing against me below.'
'I can't believe I'm being kissed this dirty!'
'Ah, amazing! We're just kissing, but my whole body is trembling as if he's touching me everywhere.'
'I feel like my body is melting.'
'So kissing feels that good!'
'Ah, no, I'm going to cum! I'm going to cum just from kissing!'
After a few minutes, Ayano felt Nana's body tremble and pulled her into a slightly secluded corner. Just as he was about to devour her, he heard Aoi call out to him.
"Ayano-kun! Can you help us here?!"
Ayano regained his composure and, with difficulty, controlled his rising lust. He looked into Nana's tearful eyes and flushed face, feigning confusion and hesitation.
"Sorry, Nana-chan! You're so beautiful and kind."
"I've always liked you! That's why I couldn't control myself!"
"I love you, Nana."
As he spoke, Ayano tugged Nana's hair away from her face and then lightly kissed her neck and cheek while gently hugging her.
'Damn it! I just want to push her down!'
Ayano again struggled to control his raging lust and slowly left after helping Nana sit down and letting her calm down.
'Huh!'
'What's going on! I can't believe kissing is this good!' '
'Ayano also told me I'm nice!'
'Then he confessed he loves me!!'
'Ah! I'm going to faint!'
Ayano, observing Nana's actions and confusion from afar, realized his initiative had worked.
'That's just how Nana is! A little weak-willed or lacking in self-confidence, and a little slow, but none of that matters!'
'All her problems will be solved once she becomes my girl!'
Ayano hurried towards Aoi and Yukiha and stared strangely for a long time at the beautiful girl whose life was about to change in ways she couldn't have imagined in her worst nightmares.
'Your grandfather Ayano has returned to this world, and Yukiha won't be spared that miserable fate!'
The three of them talked briefly about Yukiha's object-control ability, then Ayano led them to the area of light weapons and selected a set of seven flying swords with their wielders.
He also chose a number of hidden weapons and told her these would be her trump cards.
A few minutes later, Nana joined them after gazing shyly at Ayano. Ayano then led them to the suit area, where they tried on several suits. He was impressed with how they looked on them and praised them excessively, to the point that some of the women in the shop blushed along with them.
Ayano wasn't being disingenuous; he was genuinely praising them and was clearly touched by a positive energy. He felt much more comfortable in their company.
Throughout this time, the three of them noticed Ayano's attention and were undoubtedly affected by it. They became more at ease around him, especially Nana, who kept getting closer and clinging to him whenever she had the chance. It seemed to Ayano that she had already accepted his confession.
Ayano then helped the three train for a while, ensuring they were fully equipped. He even organized them into a simple fighting formation where Nana attacked, Aoi supported her from the side, and Yuka backed them up from behind. The three were amazed by their results; they were able to easily destroy ten test dummies.
After they finished, Ayano exchanged contact information with them and then went to Ms. Fujiwara and asked her... To take care of them
While watching the group, after Ayano and his group paid for their equipment, Mrs. Fujiwara winked at him and chuckled softly.
"Ah! Ayano-kun! You're quite famous, aren't you?"
"You can call me when your colleagues arrive, and I'll take care of them and give them top-tier customer discounts!"
"Thank you, Fujiwara-san."
After the group dispersed and the girls walked away, Ayano noticed Nana's hesitant glances. He gestured that he would call her later, and she calmed down and waved goodbye. This caught the attention of the other two, who stared at her strangely.
For his part, Ayano smiled happily, realizing that he would soon have them, especially Nana.
Even if he failed or was delayed and they were taken, he would kill whoever did it and then take them for himself.
'Hahaha, if I can't live and act freely in this world and fulfill all my dreams, what's the point of my reincarnation and existence?'"
Ayano headed to the train station to return home, lost in thought.
