The Scarfed Tengu chapter 3

Paraphillia: The Scarfed Tengu
Chapter 3
Zephyris

“Day 3
  I have managed to find someone who’s able to go against the sword wielding thief. Her name is Arima, a barefoot woman with a sunset skirt and purple hair. She did manage to defeat the giant bird, Windgate, a time ago. She’s just as nimble as the thief, or maybe even more nimble. Arima managed to defeat the thief with one kick and caused him to retreat. Maybe it’s because he knew that Arima is too great to go against. Though-”, Carol said to herself as she’s typing the words she spoke, recounting what happened last night at her home.

  Meanwhile, at the town café, Net and Lawana are once again hanging out, without Carol interfering due to being busy. “Finally, we can actually had some time to relax here with no one interrupting us”, Lawana said, “Also, please don’t say it’s a date. We’re still best buds”.

  Net sighed, “Yeah. Anyway, Arima told me that she actually battled the thief, but then the thief ran off”.

  “But she managed to get the thief to tell her his intentions? Why he stole those stuff and why bring them back the next morning?”, Lawana said, “And that sounds weird too. A thief that brings back stuff to their owners, that seems like a contradiction. And this thief has been doing this for a few days so… yeah, I’m confused right now”.

   While the two were talking, a blue haired girl entered the café. She was wearing a light blue t-shirt, orange shorts, and red sandals. She then overhears Net, “-also  Arima thought the same thing too about tha-“.

  The girl then interrupted Net and became gleeful, “Oh, that’s the name of the person that fought the thief?”.

  “Um… yeah”, Net said, with a somewhat surprised look from the girl’s sudden urge to join the conversation.

   “Oh! She sounds amazing! She goes barefoot too, right? Sunset skirt? Purple hair?”, the girl said. Net simply nodded, perplexed that she actually got Arima’s major appearance traits. “Sorry, it’s just that… well… I have a foot fetish. Name’s Zephyris by the way. I should’ve introduced myself to you first”.

   “Look out Net, you got competition”, Lawana said, teasing Net.

   “Aw quiet you”, Net giggled.

   “Arima is such a great fighter. I’d like to fight her again sometime”, Zephyris said, still in a gleeful personality.

    “Uh… ‘Again’? You fought her before?”, Net asked.

   “Oh! Well, I… uh… I did imagine myself fighting her in my thoughts. I guess it can count as the first time, right? Hahaha…”, Zephyris said, blushing.

   “Um, okay…”, Net replied.

   Meanwhile, outside the café, Arima was walking toward a nearby bench. Zephyris turned her view at the window, seeing Arima sitting on the bench. She fully recognized her and ran out the café right away. Net and Lawana were still perplexed of how energetic she is. “You know Lawana, I think she might be better than me somehow. Can’t believe I’m actually saying that”, Net said.

   “Miss Arima!”, Zephyris yelled out, catching Arima’s attention. The blue haired girl then quickly sat next to her, almost bumping into Arima. “You seem a bit exhausted”, said Zephyris.

     “Yeah. It’s just that my feet are getting a bit tired recently. Probably from that fight I did last night”, said Arima.

   An idea sparked in Zephyris’s mind, “I’m a great masseuse! Maybe I can help”.

   “Really?”, said Arima, “Sounds nice and all, but they're not that tired. Just going to rest my feet-”. Like what Zephyris did with the others, she interrupts her. She immediately  pulls Arima's legs on her lap and rubs her toes. Arima was surprised by this action, but nonetheless, she finds the rubbing comfortable. Arima didn’t actual want the offer, but she lied down on the bench anyway.
