Chapter 48: What a way to ruin your day

It took an embarrassingly long time for Simon to get out of the house.

Being pampered by a cat girl made it very difficult to get out of bed. When you added a lazy wolf girl into the mix and you had a recipe for a late morning.

If this had been home, Simon's ass would have been beaten senseless if he did this at home, coming out of his room when the sun was directly overhead? He shivered at the thought.

"Umm? Master? Do I come or stay?"

"Hmm?"

He was inches away from the door, just about to open it. He turned and stared at the cat girl in her maid uniform.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean... I am supposed to be a housemaid for house chores and the like! I don't know much about this tamer stuff."

Her ears flattened against her her head as she looked uncertain, but as he was coming to expect, while making the whole act adorable with her big feline eyes, and pouty face.

"Neither do I if I am being perfectly honest. But as soft mom always said, 'one step at a time'. And, of course, you are coming with me. Rule of thumb, a group must have a minimum of four members and we are still one member short. Do you want us to leave undermanned?"

"No!"

And her excited self was back as she bounced towards them with high energy.

Simon smiled as he left the house with both monster girls in tow excited for the new day only to have it immediately ruined by a voice in his head.

'I am sorry to inform you that you have missed your first mandatory psychology class of the semester. As a special student, we have taken the liberty to put you together with another batch but please do not miss classes in the future. Since this was your first offense no school merit points will be docked but this will not hold in the future. If you have extraordinary circumstances, please speak up so we may review it and make the necessary judgments.'

And his day was ruined. Missing class? He only did it once before, and his stomach tumbled at the memory. It was far worse than waking up late, far far far worse.

Survival instincts kicked in as he rapidly replied into the void. Which made Amy jump, and Stella only tilted her head.

"I tamed a new monster girl yesterday night! It!... Uhh!... It caused me to feel to feed both monster girls! Yes! Thats it! The taming process made me sluggish and tired!"

Amy and Stella both tilted their heads at his sudden proclamation to the open air.

"You seemed fine..." Stella started to say only to stop owing to the murderous look he sent her way.

His emotional reaction was immediately punished because he forgot what a stupid thing it was to agitate a monster girl that wilted at even the slightest provocation.

She whimpered with her head down and her hands clenched to the side. Droplets of tears started falling to the ground.

"Fuck!!!"

'Please do not swear. We are currently processing the information you have given us and need consensus with a human of the governing body to come to a solution.'

He was no longer listening to the jargon as he booked it the crying monster girl.

Amy only looked on in confusion and concern at the sobbing cat. This sort of reprimand was average, alphas were allowed to take their aggression on the pack, and to be unmade so easily from a single outburst from the alpha was a sign of a weak packmate. Normally as second in command, she would remove said weakness but she knew that her pack was special and any who joined would be bound forever.

While a pack that never broke was powerful if it had too many weak links, the whole pack could shatter. Amy could not solely rely on her inexperienced alpha or time to rectify this. She would also need to give a personal hand. She needed to toughen up and based on what her pack-master was doing, he would not be the one to do so.

Simon had wrapped his arms around the cat girl and she hugged him back as she sobbed into his neck her head buried in it. Even then she could hear her cry.

"I am sorry! I am sorry! I will fix my mistake right away!"

"Shit... No! No! I am sorry! I did not mean to yell at you! Please. Calm down. It is ok. Listen to my voice. Do you see me angry?"

He gently caressed the top of her head as he tried to soothe her. As quickly as it came the crying died down to sniffles as she leaned into his touch. It was fascinating how fast Stella shifted moods.

"Really?"

"Yes! Really! Now will you stop crying?"

He started rubbing the base of her ears for emphasis, since Amy liked when he did that, he assumed Stella would as well.

The fact was checked when he could feel the slight purring in the rumbled across his chest.

"Hmm... Master..."

There! crisis averted. Also, Simon hammered it into his head that Stella was much more sensitive than Amy, when he screwed around with Amy, he got a pouty attitude. Screwing would have much worse consequences.

He let out a sigh of relief crisis averted maybe he could get back to the good day he was having.

The voice in the ether decided this was the perfect moment to ruin his moment

'Your case has been reviewed and under the authority of the Planar Council, you are requested to visit the Special Advising unit. Please come at your earliest convenience. Though, it is heavily advised to come to it immediately. Please be aware that your situation is highly irregular and any delay could lead to unforeseen circumstances...' It went on and on forcing Simon to agree.

Him and his big jinxing mouth...
