Waking up to my phone's alarm, I get up only to turn off the alarm and lay down on my bed again, wanting to continue sleeping. I'm aware that I need to be there on time to get introduced to my class, but who cares really?

Sighing and turning around in bed to face the ceiling, I think about the fact that I really went for starting a new life in another country, but I guess it should be fine, I chose this.

After all, the culture of Japan is quite wonderful, and hell, easier access to an otaku's dream places like Akihabara considering that I'm in a part of Tokyo. Might head down there during the week.

For now, it's school and directly after, go and find a part time job, I have to live on my own after all!

Preparing the school uniform, I'm kinda indifferent about this, as in Sweden, you never need to use any sort of uniform for school, but I guess that's just how it is, and I better just get used to it.

"I wonder if I should bring it with me or not..." I say to myself as I look at the Blood Berry. I mean, having it with me to fend off any possible robbers could be good, but at the same time, making a mess probably isn't the best thing to do either.

I decided to not bring it with me, because why would killing anyone be neccesary... though I've heard rumors about people assassinating each other, but why should I be bothered? I might be selfish for this, but as long as it doesn't involve me, what do I have to lose?

And if things somehow gets fucky around here, I'll be prepared with my trusty beam katana... which I have barely used, great!

After having eaten breakfast, I soon enough exit the apartment building after having gone down some stairs (keyword: some), and taking in the air, before coughing violently. Ouch, think I breath in too hard...

Making my way to the school, I already now try making myself a little familiar with my new living place. It definitely is already waaay more different than Sweden ever was, but I like it.

"Right, here it is." I tell myself as I see the school in the distance, slowly approaching it. I do hope Japanese education isn't too different from what I did in Sweden.

As usual, the teacher has to introduce the transfer student and all, but I really don't care much about getting any sort of introduction done of me to have everyone else get to know me more.

I'm more here just for the education, and the culture in general. Otherwise, I'm not so aware or interested of other things Japan has, though I do like playing games and watch some anime, so I'm somewhat of an "otaku" in that manner.

I mean, I'm not a "super" otaku by any means, were like only games and anime matter for me, but yeah, I guess I can go into that territory without nerding out too much about my interests.

For the rest of the day, everything goes well enough, and everyone has an easy time speaking to me due to me fluent Japanese. Man am I happy I studied up on it for sometime before coming here.

Most of the time, it's the students themselves that starts up a conversation with me, as I usually don't talk unless spoken to, but if something comes to mind, I might as well say it.

Though the guys begin asking me if I knew about the supposed all-girl bands that are around this part of Tokyo, but I have no clue what they are on about. Like, yeah, all-girl bands, what's so special about them?

But oh boy, asking that to them, they almost got furious at me for not caring. I mean, sorry for not being interested..?

Nevertheless, besides band girls, we could at least conversate about games and such, the girls also hoping in to hear what I had to say. The girls does seem to like all-boy bands, some also being fans of the all-girl bands, which I can imagine, most often you listen for the music.

I wouldn't be surprised if the guys talk about the all-girl bands both because of the music and the girls themselves. I mean, I can't really judge, it's only natural to really like girls or boys, or even both, no matter your gender either.

But guys can be... a little more desperate of them, I guess. I mean, we guys have our dicks that gets hard whenever, even when we god damn wake up, and often we beat one to calm it down, only to have it hard again some minutes later...

I can't speak so much for them, as I barely do anything dirty, only when I first discovered porn, but that's about it. I cannot deny either that that ever growing desire does come up from time to time, but I'm quick to shake it off.

I decide to just ask the guys about where I can find the all-girl bands, with them smirking at me and telling me that they usually practice at live house "CiRCLE". What a name for a live house, huh?

They even tell me that they are open for part time job applications, but a lot of them mutter as they claim they supposedly wouldn't have the time to work. I think they are just lazy and rather be at home playing games, watch anime or jerk off.

I however need that part time job as everything else was taken already and I'm the one paying for everything in my apartment after all, so it's just nothing that is for fun, it's a neccesity for my survival.

Though once school ends for the day, and I head my way towards were CiRCLE is supposed to be, I do remember that the apparent assassinations are handled by a company, so they are in a way legal while you actually do very illegal stuff. But you do get cash from climbing the ranks, at the cost of having more assassins after you.

Maybe not now, and why should I interest myself, I'm just here to live a honest student life, while working as whatever you work as at a live house.

I finally arrive at the live house, and a window appeared to be broken. That's a shame, hope the owner gets the money to pay for the damages, thick glass windows aren't the most cheap things out there after all.

Entering, I immediately spot a woman that has black hair and brown eyes like me, albeit my colors are somewhat  darker than hers.

"Oh, welcome to CiRCLE! Are you here for the job application?!"

Wow, she seems to be desperate, guess they have been understaffed lately, taking the broken window into consideration.

"Yeah, I'm here for the job. Got a tip about it from some classmates."

"Great, finally!" the woman says as she bows to me. "I'm Marina Tsukishima, and we'll be co-workers!"

"Great to meet you, Marina. It will be a pleasure to work here." I say to her as I bow as well. "Should I begin at once?"

"Oh yes, please do! It's absolutely neccessary we get the studios cleaned before any band comes to practice!"

On que, the entrance bell rings, catching the attention of both me and Marina.

"Oh, it's Morfonica!"

"Ah, a band I assume?" I ask Marina, with her nodding.

"Hey Marina! Oh, I see someone has finally been kind enough to sign up for the job!" a twintailed raven haired girl says as she looks to me.

Man, she is adorable..! And so is the white-blueish haired girl.

I also look to the pink esque haired, black haired and... blondie... Wow, she is incredibly beautiful and dare I say sexy...

I didn't look too long to raise any suspiscion, albeit she giggled a little, so it wouldn't surprise me if she caught me staring a little.

"Anyways, I'm Stephan Klausch, second year transfer student from Sweden, nice to meet you, Morfonica."

"Nice to meet you too! I'm Tsukushi Futaba, the leader and drummer for our band." Tsukushi tells me as she smiles to me.

"It was very kind of you to help Marina, as no one has been willing to work part time here in the latest time."

"Well, kind and kind, I do need money as I live on my own. But I'm always up for helping people, even when I don't expect any sort of reward in return."

"Ooh, that's very selfless of you, Stephan! Anyways, my name is Nanami Hiromachi, and I play the bass for the band."

"Ah, the bass guitar huh? It's a quite neat instrument, albeit regular guitars are cooler to me..."

"Then guess it's time for me to introduce myself!"

The one saying that was the smoking hot blonde chick, and... she is actually going up to me..?!

"Touko Kirigaya, and I'm the guitarist of Morfonica! Hope you take good care of us all~"

THAT WINK!

I really could feel myself heat up in my face as I still tried keeping myself together like previously, but it was hard, Touko was in front of me and I cannot get my attention of her..!

My classmates weren't joking that some of the band girls can be sweet and/or hot of them...

I look to the two last that haven't introduced themselves yet, the shyest girl looking away as we make eye contact.

"Come on now, a smile would be nice." I tell her as she soon puts on a small but cute smile.

"M-Mashiro Kurata, vocalist of Morfonica, nice to meet you..."

"Took your time everyone... I'm Rui Yashio, I do the violin for the band."

"Aha, a serious one, eh?"

"Maybe, I just focus on improving as much as I can after almost giving up on music completely one time." Rui replies to me, making me understand her more serious demenaor.

"Well, I'm sure you can smile a little like the rest as well."

"Nothing to smile about."

Oh well, was worth a shot. Suddenly, my phone begins ringing, and I pick it out from my school bag.

"Hello?"

"Is this Mr. Klausch?"

"Yeah it is. What's your business with me, then?"

"Your family has been targeted by assassins. For now, they are safe..."

I have no idea how my expression to what had just been said were like, but Touko and the others clearly got worried from my change in mood.

"Assassins?! Are you out of your mind?!"

"I only speak the truth. But in order for you to be able to... win your parents back, you need to elminate any higher ranking assassin and take their place on the leaderboard."

"H-hey, what do you mean, you can't possibly mean that-!"

"It's your choice, Mr. Klausch. The UAA will be awaiting your answer."

"H-hey..! Damn it, fucker hung up on me!"

I looked to the ladies in front of me, everyone worried over what I had just said.

"Are you okay..?" Touko is the first one to ask me, and I look down a little, before looking at her again.

"I'm fine, I think the police can hopefully handle this for now."

I put away my phone and clap my hands together.

"Sorry for bringing down the mood everyone! I'm going to have one of the studios cleaned so you can practice!"

I head towards one of the studios and begins cleaning what needs to be cleaned.

Though I'm still worried about what had just been said, are my parents really in danger, and what the hell is the UAA?

After finishing cleaning, I tell Morfonica they can practice, but before everyone heads inside, Touko blows a kiss to me.

Touko Kirigaya blew a kiss to... me?! Oh man, I'm getting so relied up, and I'm blushing... wait, am I horny..?

Never mind that, I gotta see what the hell is this UAA shit talk is.

Marina let's me head to the lounge where I can call the one who rung me. After a few signals, they finally pick up.

"Ah, have you made your choice?"

"Not until you tell who the hell the UAA is!"

"United Assassins Associations, that's what it stands for, happy?"

"No, I'm not... that happy! Well, sure, a chick named Touko is making me feel something quite different, but my parents are in fucking danger!"

"As I told you earlier, they are safe for now. But in order for you to keep them safe and alive, you have to climb your way to the top by elimanting any high ranking assassins in the way."

I sigh at the person having repeated what they told me, before speaking again.

"Yeah okay, fine, I'll do it! I have heard about you guys either way, more as shady rumors than good reputation."

"Good. You are free to do the assassinations any day, as we will make sure that no lower rank assassins comes for you, you are still just a whiny high schooler after all."

"Man, fuck you- Asshole hung up again!"

Groaning, I put the phone back into my school bag before picking the bag up and putting it over my shoulder.

"Guess my beam katana will finally come to use..." I say to myself as I walk out of the lounge, seeing that Morfonica had just finished practicing. "Sup girls, hope practice was good."

"I'm sure of it, I feel like I improved a ton today!" Touko proudly says as everyone also feels they improved a lot.

"That's amazing to hear! Anyways, I'm sticking around here-"

"I'm actually good for today, Stephan! You can do something else for today while I do some smaller stuff!"

"Oooh, come with us then~!" Touko says as she holds onto my hand, causing me to definitely blush... and I'm sure something is rising right now, but it ain't the Shield Hero.

I accept to go with Morfonica to where they are heading, which appears to be at Nanami's home. Soon enough, they begin telling me about what they have been through before I came here.

But something catches my ear when Touko mentions that her parents owns a kimono shop, and she lives in the same building as well alongside them and her grandparents as well.

She is after all a lot into fashion, gyaru fashion specifically, so I do wonder if she could help me design some clothes for my assassinations days that are about to come to frutition.

Asking about it to her, she happily accepts to design some clothes.

"What kind of motif would you like to have for it?" she asks me as I think for a little while.

"Hey, why not come by my apartment and have a look at the thing I want to base the clothing on?"

Touko accepts and follows me home. Weird, usually when you invite a girl like this, it's usually so you two can kiss all day long under the blanket, or in other cases, laying pipe with each other.

As we head inside, she looks around a little in the not so big apartment, before looking at me.

"Well, go ahead then~!"

I know she meant that I would show her the beam katana, but I swear she threw in a slight hint of "go ahead, plow me to your heart's content", or perhaps it's just my mind overthinking it all?

No matter, I soon walk with Touko to my room, and I bring out the Blood Berry from my drawer.

"Here it is! I really don't want to active it right now though, don't feel it's safe with other people around..."

"Hmm..." Touko looks at it, before letting out a small smirk.

Ah crap, I didn't realize I were holding it so close to my crotch..!

Touko suddenly hunches down and soon onto her knees as she gently caresses the tip of the deactived beam katana...

"You know, I have begun doing some yoga in the latest time. A good exercise, but some poses for it are quite... exotic~" Touko says while looking into my eyes as she empashizes the last word, biting her lip a little even. "There are a lot, especially the Downward Dog~"

"D-downward Dog..?"

Oh god, Touko... in that... pose..!

"Mhm~" Touko says as she suddenly kisses on the side of the beam katana, causing me to activate it without warning, while I get a violent nosebleed in the process.

"Halle-fucking-lujah..!" I utter out, before I look to Touko, who is standing up again while giggling, and... I'm still holding the katana like it's my dick or something..!

I deactive it shortly after, my nose still having blood underneath it.

"Ahem well, huh, that's my beam katana, yeah. Think I can commission a outfit fitting it, from you?"

"I will do it for free, you are in care for us all after all~" Touko says while touching my arm, making me almost moan out this time.

A little later, Touko says her farewell to me as she walks away, exaggerating her moves a little for me to look at her the whole time.

"...Downward Dog, huh..?" I say to myself, almost shivering from excitement. "Maybe not too hasty though, I haven't even met the other bands yet, but Touko..! I just gotta ask her out on a date next time we meet..!"

I soon head inside the apartment building, and up to my crib. On my phone, I check what assassin I will have my first ever ranking battle against.

"Hmm, Helter-Skelter at rank 100 huh?" I say to myself as I scroll to possibly see some images of him, but nothing. "Perhaps if I search on his other title 'The Drifter'..."

And this time it luckily brought up a picture of him:

"Still no hints how he fights like though... Welp, guess it will be up to me to adapt to this son of a bitch!"

And then I also have to remember that I have my school and normal part time job to take care of as well... Oh, and Touko!

Yep... it's game time!

To be continued :P
