Demi-human Girls Completion Manual-Chapter 998 - 58: Master Tao (2)

Don’t I have a peach in my hand?

Tangze Asuka muttered to herself, yet what Master Tao said about "her running wild in Taoyuan" struck a chord deep within her.

She was always worried about causing trouble for her team, so that self-doubt and guilt made her hesitant to resist, even though doubts in her heart were mounting. Still, she reluctantly nodded and decided to help Master Tao catch fish.

"Alright."

"That’s the spirit, trivial. Let’s go..."

Watching the little kid bouncing ahead, Tangze Asuka couldn’t quite correlate this child with the Duke, despite Helair as a precedent. After all, the other Mythical Species Tangze Asuka encountered were fairly serious.

But this little kid was full of mysteries, seemingly lacking any strength, and needed help catching fish.

The little girl in front of her wasn’t the real Master Tao, Tangze Asuka was increasingly certain.

"But, wearing a white robe, it’s hard to catch fish. It’ll get all wet..."

"Tsk, trivial, just lift it a bit, won’t you?"

"...How can I catch fish holding up my robe? I don’t have four hands."

"Hmm, that makes sense, let me think... Have you ever worn a swimsuit before?"

"...Well, yes."

Just as Tangze Asuka opened her mouth, she suddenly noticed that the peach she was holding had changed shape. Astonished, she looked down to find that the peach had transformed into the black swimsuit she wore during swimming classes in high school—the one named "スク水," a school-issued swimwear.

"Hey, hey, hey! How did you do this?"

"Hmph, trivial is trivial, such a simple thing... cough cough cough!"

Before Tangze Asuka could finish being surprised, she saw the little kid collapse onto the ground, exhausted, as if the little spell had drained her energy.

Though she seemed weak, the brat still stubbornly called Tangze Asuka "trivial."

"...Are you alright?"

"Of course I’m fine, trivial! Now that you have the swimsuit, hurry and catch fish, I’ll wait here. Go!"

"Alright, alright."

But about the swimsuit...

Tangze Asuka pursed her lips at the girl’s swimsuit in her hand. She flipped the size tag over, and sure enough, it was the same size she bought when she first attended swimming classes. Back then, she made a mistake—the size was too small... well, actually it was only the chest part that was a bit snug.

She still remembered staying in the changing room, afraid of going out for fear of others seeing the swimsuit that was too revealing.

Now...

Tangze Asuka sighed, shuffled in front of the exhausted little girl, and changed into the swimsuit. In fact, she wasn’t a bad swimmer, and after changing clothes, she even did a few stretches.

Seeing her not diving into the water, Master Tao sat up, then glanced at her figure, made a face and mumbled,

"Oh, finally I find something not trivial... trivial, can you hurry up and stop trying to suffocate yourself by repelling the air around you."

"I’m stretching! Stretching!"

Tangze Asuka’s veins bulged with irritation, angered by yet another comment from the little kid behind her. She glared at the kid, who unexpectedly backed off, frightened.

Tangze Asuka hesitated for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said,

"Am I not trivial? Why are you afraid of me?"

Master Tao’s face turned red, puffed up like a furball and said,

"Shut up, trivial! Who’s afraid of you?! I’m not scared of you! Trivial, trivial, trivial, trivial!"

"You little brat! You’re definitely not Master Tao, are you?!"

"Who said I’m not!? I already said I’m the past Master Tao. Were you so tough when you were just born, trivial? You’re still so trashy!"

Tangze Asuka was completely provoked, ignoring the fish behind her, she charged, wearing the swimsuit the kid made, ready to "take advantage of the situation," determined to teach this foul-mouthed brat a lesson,

"You little punk! Stand still! I’m gonna send you off to eternity!!"

"Waa! Trivial’s gone mad!"

The tiny Master Tao turned pale as Tangze Asuka charged towards her, grabbing her skirt and ran off. That bravado quickly waned, boosting Tangze Asuka’s confidence, as she chanted "Amitabha Buddha" and dashed towards Master Tao.

Little Master Tao, small and barefoot, panicked and stubbed her toe against a rock, her face went white, and she threw herself forward to the ground.

"Ha, you brat, that’s karma for running your mouth!"

Watching her trip, Tangze Asuka’s momentum surged. She rushed up, pinned the struggling Master Tao, lifted her onto her knee, and smacked her bottom hard.

"Whack!"

With the resounding slap, Master Tao screamed, wriggling like a mudfish,
