Haha thanks everyone for the comments. Yeah Nacchi and Maki started off in a very screwed up way. Whether that will fix itself in the future....well, who knows?
Next side story coming up! coachie wanted to know what happened with Koharu in Chapter 18, so here it is.
--------------------------------------
Side Story 6: When Enough Is Enough
She had just had about enough of this. As if it wasn't already bad enough to have his wolf's eyes mentally undressing her (oh how she cursed her early physical maturity!) while she danced with her partner, now he was getting a little too close for comfort, on the pretext of "guiding" her in the proper steps of the waltz. Waltz her ass, he was watching
her butt move more than the way her feet were moving to the beat. Perverted old man.
Now her partner was called to stand aside so that the instructor himself, in all his full perverted glory, could personally lead her in the complex steps of the new dance that he himself had created. New dance her foot. All he probably wanted to do was the horizontal mambo with her. She couldn't stand him. He was almost 3 times her age! Old enough to be her father. Her grandfather even, if he had knocked someone up early enough!
There were limits to her patience. Limits to her ability to endure his lecherous gazes and less-than-innocent touches when they were dancing, either with him as a partner or him just standing on the sidelines. Any and all time spent within 10 feet of him, within
seeing distance of him, was an arduous and repulsive task. The several hours of being in the same room with him was sheer torture. The man was a pedophile. How he ever got away with all that for so long was beyond her. Maybe all his previous victims were pushovers. Well, she certainly wasn't going to roll over for someone like him.
Gritting her teeth, and it didn't help that it was
that time of the month, she endured...for all of 30 seconds.
There was no need, she knew, absolutely NO NEED, for his hand to start stroking her bottom. At first, she tried to shift away from that wandering hand, but the only option away from it was to move even closer to the old man's body, and she had no intention whatsoever of doing
that. She would sooner drown herself than do that.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Maasa, one of her usual dance partners during these lessons, give her an encouraging look that told her to endure it for just a while longer. Just a bit longer, and then she could tear herself away from this disgusting proximity to her perverted dance instructor, and return to more amiable company with a far more dignified Maasa. The older girl might only be a servant, but she had way more honor than this so-called gentleman who was currently discreetly touching her butt.
She could do this. She had done it many times before. She could just stand his loathed presence for a couple minutes more...until the man decided to give up on subtlety and just pinch her bottom while leering at her.
That was IT. Absolutely IT. She had enough. More than enough. She wasn't going to put up with this sorry excuse of a pedophilic lecher anymore.
Maasa winced reflexively when Koharu unceremoniously brought her knee up with great force to come in contact with a sensitive part of the male anatomy, doubling the man over with a pained howl. The tall girl then resisted the urge to cheer out loud (since she despised the man as well) when Koharu, clearly not satisfied with simply kneeing her long-time tormentor in the balls, drew back her fist, soundly nailing the middle-aged dance instructor in the face with a punch worthy of Maasa herself.
And
that was something, coming from someone who specialised in close combat herself. Clearly, Koharu had been paying attention to the self defense lessons Maasa had given her on a whim during lazy afternoons cooped up indoors. The poor man had one hand covering his lower half and the other hand clutching at his bruised face, writhing painfully on the floor. Koharu stepped back, an uncharacteristically vicious look on her usually cheerful face, and kicked the man once more for good measure. Maasa hid a chuckle at that.
When Koharu walked back to face her, Maasa put on her most professionally detached expression, but the younger girl only grinned impishly.
"Well, now that he's out, I guess lesson's over." Koharu said off-handedly. "Thanks for being here Maasa." The taller girl shrugged it off, and watched as Koharu flounced off with a distinct bounce in her step. Casting one last glance at the pitiful creature curled up on the carpet in the middle of the room, Maasa briefly pondered if she should call a doctor to help. The man groaned. She decided to leave him to his own fate.
He deserved it anyway.
----------------------------------------
And that's what happened.
Yay for Koharu, and yay for Maasa.
Edit: And yeah, only Miki is allowed to grope people without fear.
Anyone else just deserves what Koharu did to that man.
