flee through the chimney

Kanami wanted nothing to do with...whatever that thing was. Besides the chimney was right in front of her. And so she made a mad dash towards it.

“Hey, wait that's dangerous!”

As if! Kanami was a skilled ninja after all. Granted, she came close to slipping and falling off the roof multiple times but whatever! The end result is what matters and that was that she managed to dive head first into the chimney!

…

That might not have been her smartest decision.

“Kyaahhh!!!”

Kanami fell down the shaft, just barely managing to slow her fall by stretching her arms and legs out. Eventually, she came to halt on a small ledge. It was pretty dark in here, so Kanami couldn't really check but it did look like she only sustained minor scratches from this fall.

Below the ledge was a faint light. Aha! She was finally back in a room. Kanami made the final descend only to realize that this light was actually a fire. Why was this chimney on fire?

Luckily for Kanami, she was still dripping wet from the rain so she managed to jump out of the fireplace without any burns.

Haa...that was an absolute nightmare. But at the very least she was back inside without Poron...

“Kanami?”

Poron was there, staring at here with his mouth agape.

“Kyah! Turn around!” Kanami flailed around, desperately trying to cover up.

Luckily, Poron obliged her. “S-sure, but why...chimney, where are your clothes?”

“Gar goyle, Roof,Duck. It's a long story! Shut up!” Kanami took a deep breath

“A-are you alright? Did you hit your head?”

“Of course I am...” Kanami winced. No, now that the adrenaline had somewhat subsided, it turns out that she was in fact not alright. Tumbling down a chimney is a pretty good way of getting injured.

“Kanami!”

Poron tried to turn around so Kanami hit him in the head. “It's nothing! Just stay like this for a moment.”

The ninja gave her body a once over. It hurt all over, she must have at least broken 300 bones or so. Walking seemed out of the question. No way, will Poron have to carry her like this?

No, first things first. She needs her clothes back.

“Poron”, Kanami began. “I need you to bring me my clothes, they are up on the third floor in the bedroom. Think you can do that?”

“No”, Poron said.

For a moment Kanami wasn't sure she heard right. “What?”

“I am not leaving you alone like this”, Poron declare, his voice firm as he turned around to face his naked teacher.

The ninja wasn't sure if she should cover up her body or hit him again. “I-I told you I'm fine!”, she said instead.

“You are clearly not fine”, Poron replied, now with worry in his voice. He then proceeded to flat out scoop Kanami up.

“Eep! What are you doing?”

Instead of replying, the young prince carried Kanami to a comfy chair next to the fireplace and placed her there gently. “Alright, tell me where it hurts.”

The better question would be where it didn't hurt. Kanami was in full on shock mode right now, so she decided to best course of action would be to freeze up.

Poron still seemed to get the general gist of it it and started to slowly pat her body down. H-Hey, that is really indecent!

The ninja couldn't believe what was happening right now. Sure, Poron was very gentle, but she was still naked and getting all flustered and naked and...

“I don't think there is anything broken”, he finally stated. “You have some bruises and definitely one sprained ankle, but that should heal with time.”

Wait what? Was this all just business as usual for Poron? No way! “Y-You didn't check my breasts, though”, Kanami blurted out.

“Umm...”, Poron coughed. “I don't think I have to check there.”

“W-what if they are broken? I demand that you check right now!” Yeah take that stupid Poron. Time for you to get all embarrassed!

But instead Poron actually reached out and gave her left boob a small squeeze.

“Hyaaaa!!!”

“Does this hurt?”, Poron asked concerned. “I don't see any bruises here, but...”

Instead of waiting on an answer, the stupid prince actually checked her right boob as well! He even stroke her nipple for a bit!

“I..It's n-nothing...I..I t-think.”

“They are a bit stiff I suppose”, Poron observed as he zoned in on her nipples and brushed them a bit more aggressively.

Kanami felt like she could faint any moment.

“I think you are fine”, Poron repeated once more. “You just need a bit of rest.”

Kanami felt like she needed other things right now. “Can I please get some clothes now?”

“O-Of course.” Poron finally started to have an appropriate reaction and blushed. “You said they where up in the third floor bedroom?”

Kanami nodded.

“Stay here then.”

And there he went.

Woah.

That was kinda weird. Since when was Poron that dependable? Kanami took a deep breath. It felt kinda nice tough. Her body was shivering all over. That might just be the rain though. She shifted her legs a bit to get rid of that burning feeling. That must have been the fire.

For the first time, Kanami decided to actually pay attention to the room. This appears to be the ground floor and there where lots of book shelves everywhere. Was this some kind of huge book room?

Wait...

There was only one logical conclusion for Poron's weird behavior.

He was possessed by a perverted ghost!
