Minato, Master of Balls

Gym class was a waste of time, he thought.

He wasn't proficient in sports like basketball or football, he was more of a track and field kind of guy.

Minato was a fast runner, as his club members had told him. He had won second place at a competition, which was an achievement he held in high regard.

They played dodge ball, a game to which he positively sucked at. He had a weak throwing arm, that was a fact Junpei liked to tease him on frequently.

You could call him Minato, Master of Balls because of the many times he kicked Junpei in the balls after the many jokes about his poor throwing skills.

"That was a tiring class," Yukari said next to him. "I certainly improved my stamina, I used to sweat like crazy during gym."

"We do train in Tartarus a lot, maybe that's why our stamina imporved?" Fuuka added.

"Accurate guess," Aigis said. "Frequent visits to Tartarus increases stamina and endurance by five percent."

"That's a lot," Yukari said, shocked.

School had ended by now, Minato wanted to go visit the shrine for today but Yukari different ideas. She had dragged him into doing karaoke, an event he dreaded so very much.

Sighing, Minato walked to Pawlownia Mall, he caught sight of the the Velvet Room situated in the odd alley below the karaoke place.

He took a short pit stop to the Velvet Room, as it had been a long time since he had last spoken to the Velvet duo.

What? Did he had to have a reason to visit them?

Elizabeth was hot, and a pleasant sight to see. Her body was to die for, and he admit that Elizabeth was mostly the reason why he made very frequent visits to the Velvet Room.

"Ah, Minato," Elizabeth greeted him cheerfully as he entered the Velvet Room. "We have missed you, it's been quite a while since you have last visited us."

He muttered a quick apology to the attractive woman. Igor was situated behind his desk like usual, his long nose an ever-present sight.

What was Igor? Was he a god of some sorts? He obviously wasn't human, not with a nose as long as that.

Was he a shadow? Elizabeth had yellow eyes, the foretell sign that a person was a shadow, but they didn't feel like shadows.

"Hello, my dear guest," Igor said. "What is the purpose of your visit?"

"It's been a while since I last visited."

"Ah, I see." Igor laughed. "Have you got any answers you wish to ask?"

Minato considered asking Igor about the rings, he played various scenarios about it. No, he decided.

Igor would probably confiscate them if they possessed such power. He didn't want to part with the rings, especially knowing that they had the power to normalize his every action.

"Who are you?" He decided to ask.

"An answer so simple, yet so difficult at the same time."

"You are the first guest to ask that question," Elizabeth said while giggling. "Maybe that is the reason I like you so much."

"I am Igor, master of the Velvet Room." Igor repeated the speech he did when Minato had first arrived at the Velvet Room.

"I am the servant of Philemon. I was originally a doll, given life through an archaic ritual."

"Master Igor then went on to create us, his assistants," Elizabeth said.

He nodded, his question answered. Now he knew Igor's origins, and his vast power.

And this person, Philemon, if he had more power than Igor, it meant that his relic was either created by him or someone similar.

"I'd advise you to control yourself, Minato," Igor said. "Absolute power will corrupt a person absolutely."

He nodded, fiddling with the silver ring. Igor knew about his ring.

However, did Elizabeth knew? Could this mean that he could fuck her and she be none the wiser?

That was an interesting thought, along with the subsequent image that flashed in his mind.

But that was something to be done later. Now, Minato just wanted to have some karaoke with Yukari.

He bid goodbye to Igor and Elizabeth, stepping outside and watching time resuming from the outside.

He saw Yukari approach him, her hands waving at him at the fountain.

She wore a pink top that didn't cover her midriff, along with a short skirt.

Minato smiled as they entered the karaoke booth.

He had a plan, a plan that he was going to go along with.

Minato wanted to make Yukari his, through any means nessecary.

He won't stop, until she and every other member of SEES was under his command.
