Aggressive Predator: If I'm Reborn, I'll attack every girl-Chapter 34: Bad Boy, Arahabaki!

Arahabaki’s eyes were wide with wonder as he stared down the chasm that used to be a tall building, at Yam’s ashes.

He then snapped his head at me and crossed his arms in defense, like he can defend against anything I throw at him.

It’s adorable he tried—he never learns.

He raised his head and found that I was missing.

Psyche! I was at his flank with a surprise kick.

I slammed my leg into his side before he could react, making sure to destroy the bones that were there.

Ah, look at him go! Like a soccer ball!

I can almost hear a whistle sound from his flight.

He crashed into several buildings, penetrating them (ah, that sounded lewd) like sharp stone piercing water.

But let’s not spoil the build-up!

Before he could hit another block, I was there with another kick!

Iyaaa~

I hope he didn’t see my panties from that!

Ah, wait—I’m not wearing any.

So let’s assume he saw what only Master should lay eyes on.

Unforgivable.

Massive (pseudo) rage consumed my reasoning and I kicked him again—his form crashing into everything in the way and piercing off the back at high speed.

I kicked him again.

If he wants to see what’s under my skirt so bad, then I’ll let him.

But not without a cost!

I didn’t let him breathe or land: it was a one-woman soccer game.

Actually... this might be very fun!

It was so interesting I let a few giggles slip through, further startling Arahabaki as he darted around the city like the ragdoll he was.

Wait. He was cleaving off blocks with his body—won’t that kill people?

Nah, last time I checked, humans were a bit tougher than before.

I waited at an angle for my football to arrive.

Then I gathered ether within my palm.

When he came flying toward me, I swung my arm lightly and the ether ball connected with him.

It blew up in dark energy and smoke. The light and explosion made humans shriek and scream below.

"Tsk. I should silence them..."

I went above the clouds awaiting Arahabaki’s arrival.

Okay, let’s make this more fun for me.

There was a bathroom I’d spotted, several buildings away, when I was beating him up.

I intended to send him flying over there—like a pinball—you know, to, uh, test my accuracy!

If he landed in the bathtub, I win.

And I’ll consider killing him immediately and sealing his soul somewhere.

Maybe play with him some more before heading to Master.

But...

If I lost—that is, if Arahabaki doesn’t fall into the bathtub—I’ll still kill him immediately and trap his soul inside a spirit vacuum so he’ll never reincarnate again.

He did hurt Master—I only pretended not to notice, since it’d be trouble for Master if I swallowed the entire continent due to rage.

And Master is just a baby, too!

Ah, here he comes!

BAM!!

Ah, that explosive vibration and sound you hear when crashing into something that has life—the action, the cinema!

It’s all too wondrous to the heart.

Arahabaki flew back down, at a depreciating angle, flew past and through walls until—

BINGO!!

He bounced around the room, just like a pinball, wrecking the place...

But he managed to land in the bathtub, just as I had planned. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Good boy, Arahabaki — the perfect punching bag.

However... the tub is now shattered and broken.

I feel bad for the next person who’d want to take a dip.

Hmm.

I’ve decided: I should discipline him for breaking into someone’s house and wrecking their bathtub — not to mention, disrupting the peace of the owner.

Bad boy, Arahabaki!

Then, as if the bathroom had come to meet me, I was inside in a flash.

"S... Seraphina..."

Oh dear!

He could recognize me in this form?

Then again, he called Master ’Alexander the Conqueror’ — probably due to seeing [Jericho] in action.

But how can he tell I’m Seraphina? Is he that sharp?

Ah! I got it!

He’s secretly in love with me!

"What is the System Administrator doing interfering with the world...? Again..."

Ugh, now he’s scolding me?

Seraphina hates fools who scold her — like Asherah and Zeus.

Alright, I’ll double his punishment now.

"Arahabaki," I asked him, "what do you think of a one-armed samurai who defeats his enemies with a literal handicap? I personally think it’s... ART."

I began to move closer to him.

He frantically raised himself up, moving back till his back hit the wall.

"Is... is this how you say hi after all this time?"

"Forget it. You can’t escape me—"

Ah. He escaped.

Before I could reply to the fool, the space behind him warped and opened up a round hole (ah, hole made it sound lewd!).

A small girl of, I don’t know, 15 months old, peeped out, glared at me, then dragged Arahabaki inside.

SIGH.

No matter.

I cannot kill him now either way.

It might go against my order.

By the way, he’s too insignificant for Master to stress over.

In fact, I should thank him for helping train Master.

The next time they do battle, Master would be taking his lif—

"Who are you?!"

A man with a gun, and a little girl behind him trembling, grasping his shirt.

Tsk. I can’t tell these humans apart from their age.

I thought that brat who retrieved Arahabaki was 15 months old, but this girl — who I also think is about the same age — is actually half her size.

So... she was just born?

No, no! Master was just born and he’s a baby.

She’s no baby. She’s about three times a baby’s size, so... three months?

No, no, no, no, no! Master is one year old and he’s still a baby...

Hmmm... This is difficult.

---"Wh...what do you want from us-!!"

I stepped before him—before he even finished blinking—and tapped his forehead.

The purpose was because I wanted to knock him unconscious, truly.

But his head exploded like a water balloon. It didn’t make sense.

Maybe I tapped too hard?

"Da...Daaaaaaad!! Help me, someon—"

"Silence, brat."

Oops!

I sincerely wanted to cover her mouth, lest she cause me unwarranted attention—after all, it’s almost 9:00 PM.

But the wall behind her fell, and she’s somehow now missing her upper half.

Tsk! Mortals are soooo fragile. It’s getting annoying now.

I suppose I should revive them before their souls disappear.

Then wipe their memories of me while I’m at it, lest Master somehow discovers I killed a father and child just to shut them up...

Wait. That is a wonderful premise and ground for punishment!

I mean, Master has never punished me before.

...Okay, let’s not.

*

I finished the utterly unnecessary hard work and immediately flew back to Tokoi.

"Ah, where had you guys gone to?" Lily—my new favorite mortal, besides Arahabaki, and my soon-to-be mother-in-law—ran to me as I opened the door.

"I was worried when you were both not in the room."

"Forgive us. We went for some... light exercise," I replied with a bow.

"Really? I got startled due to what the news was saying about chaos in Dokai."

She glanced at the television in the living room. "Maybe it’s the west again?!"

No, ma’am. It was us.

"Uhm, what about Mast—I mean, Alexander?"

"Jeez, Sera-chan," Lily whispered with a wink, "you can call him Master when I’m around. My husband calls me Mistress too, when my family is around."

"Ah, it’s a privilege then. I will do so from now henceforth."

I followed her through the living room and up the small stairs to (I and) Master’s room.

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNN!! HE’S SO CUUUUUUUUTE!!"

Lily gestured for me to be quiet as to not disturb Master’s sleep...

Though, she did most of the shouting—almost startling even me.

Master was sleeping so peacefully, like a baby in his cradle.

Well, he was a baby.

"Ah, and I see Cradle-san is back from exile," I glanced at the formerly banished craft.

"Oh, of course! I couldn’t let it go, after all," Lily giggled, rubbing Master’s hair.

"He seems so tired."

"Ah, he is indeed quite exhausted, Mother," I explained.

"Since he did a lot of city-destroying battle, he must’ve exhausted his physical energy and vessel."

"...Vessel?"

Lily had an imaginary question mark on her head.

I thought she’d be asking about the battle instead.

"Hehehe." Her giggles were quite sweet to the ear.

And that’s saying something, since I naturally hate the sound of mortals being happy.

I thought I liked her because she was the mother of my Master...

But perhaps I just like her as an individual.

She continued, "Sera-chan, you sounded like some sorceress saying ’Vessel’ like that. Actually, you always sound like that."

"Really? I do know some archaic sorcery humans might not know about," I said. "I’m willing to show you so—"

WAHHH, WAHHH!

"Oh my!" Lily quickly picked up the crying baby.

Ah, Master must’ve been disturbed by our noise.

He opened his clear blue eyes, tears dripping out...

"Yoshi, yoshi, here’s a nipple. You like nipples, don’t you?" Lily raised her shirt up, showing Master.

"..."

He stopped crying, and Lily began to... breastfeed... him...

"Ara?" Both Lily and I looked at each other.

"Did Alex revert back to a baby?"

"Mother, he has always been a baby."

But something really was strange.
