"…"
The room was unusually quiet.
Satania maintained a healthy routine—when it was ti to sleep, she would sleep well.
"Knock, knock!"
Just then, soone knocked on her bedroom door.
"Satania, I have sothing I want to talk to you about. May I co in?"
It was Vignette.
"Vigne?"
Satania, puzzled, sat up and turned on the light. "Co on in."
Click.
Vignette, wearing light-purple pajamas and hugging a pillow, entered the room.
"Vigne, why are you still up so late? What do you want to talk about?"
Satania was very curious.
Vignette spoke hesitantly, sowhat embarrassed. "I wanted to ask you sothing about…about Rei Ao."
"Eh? Sensei?"
Before long—
Vignette and Satania lay together under the sa blanket, whispering in the dark. Vignette had specifically asked Satania to turn off the light, or she wouldn't have been able to bring it up.
In the darkness—
Vignette asked, "Um, Satania, do you really know what you were doing with Rei Ao earlier?"
"Mm… Sensei was teaching to beco a great demon."
"No, you two were—kissing!"
Vignette couldn't help protesting, "A kiss is sothing only people who like each other do. You can't just do it randomly."
"Satania, don't you think you were tricked?"
"…"
Silence filled the room.
Vignette herself wasn't entirely sure what feelings drove her to try to make Satania see reason.
Was it as a friend?
Was it as a succubus?
Or was there a faint hint of…jealousy even she hadn't noticed?
She didn't know.
But she'd already said it, and there was no going back.
Just when Vignette thought Satania might realize that Rei Ao had crossed a line with her—
Satania spoke in a mosquito-sized voice, "Um… Vigne, actually, I—I like Sensei, too."
"Huh?"
Vignette was taken aback.
Satania shrank back, embarrassed.
"And Sensei's kisses feel so good. My body…my body gets so happy. It's like…like…umm…"
"???"
Vignette understood, because she could sense the intense warmth emanating from Satania's body and hear her rapid breathing.
Then, Satania suddenly sat up.
"I—I'm going to the bathroom for a second!"
Wearing slippers, Satania hurried out of the room, looking extrely flustered.
"…"
Vignette waited for a long while.
But Satania didn't co back.
"Satania?"
Confused, Vignette got up, planning to see what was taking Satania so long.
She stepped out of the room.
She could faintly see light coming from the bathroom.
But everything else was still unusually quiet, so she cautiously moved closer.
When she was just a few steps away—
"!!!"
Vignette heard a soft moaning sound.
Peeking through the gap in the door, she saw…Satania, eyes half-lidded, performing so sort of shaful ritual!
Realizing what was happening, Vignette's face instantly flad red.
Satania was actually…
Overco by intense embarrassnt, Vignette felt tingles all over, as if ants were crawling across her skin, and dashed back to the bedroom.
In the end, she realized she'd just stuck her nose in where it didn't belong!
But…but could it really feel that good?
With Satania's muffled moans echoing faintly in her ears, Vignette found herself sinking into a deep fog of confusion.
Maybe she shouldn't have co to Satania after all.
…
Morning arrived.
A new day didn't really lift Yukino's spirits—especially after stepping out the door and seeing a haggard face.
She noticed Mabel lying on the sofa, exhausted, her eyelids drooping.
Yukino frowned slightly.
"Mabel, were you up all night?"
"Ugh… I didn't sleep at all…"
Mabel replied weakly.
"Why didn't you sleep?"
"Uh…"
At this question, she let out a pitiful whimper, looking as if she might burst into tears at any second. "I—I was scared Rei Ao would co and harass ."
"…"
Only then did Yukino rember that Rei Ao had ntioned coming over last night. And he hadn't shown up—maybe he'd forgotten.
"Boo hoo…I was so worried all night I couldn't sleep…"
Mabel began to cry.
But Yukino noticed that beneath her translucent nightgown, Mabel was wearing so very revealing lingerie—definitely sothing she wouldn't usually wear.
"…"
If she was so scared, why wear sothing so… suggestive?
More like she was hoping Rei Ao would actually co by.
Yukino felt she'd seen right through Mabel.
Not wanting to dwell on it, Yukino went off to brush her teeth, get dressed, and head to school.
Sure enough, she wasn't wrong.
Mabel's emotions were tangled between fear of the pain from the first ti and anticipation of that blissful, floating-on-clouds feeling that she couldn't forget.
A little while later—
All set to leave, Yukino saw that Mabel had fallen asleep on the sofa. She decided not to wake her and quietly prepared to leave.
While changing her shoes at the entrance, she suddenly heard Mabel talking in her sleep.
"Uh… Rei Ao… stop… that's… not okay… faster…"
Yukino froze for a mont, looking up to find Mabel's face flushed as she sleep-talked. With that expression, she could already guess what kind of dream Mabel was having.
With a silent click of her tongue, Yukino didn't want more of this odd influence. She quickly slipped on her shoes, tiptoed out, and hurried away.
But fate has its ways.
The one person she didn't want to see was exactly the person she was most likely to run into.
The mont Yukino stepped out, she ran into Rei Ao, who was leaving the next-door apartnt at the sa ti.
"Morning."
Rei Ao greeted her first.
Following behind him was Mai, who also nodded politely.
"…Good morning."
Yukino had no choice but to return the greeting.
"It's quite a coincidence we're both leaving now. Shall we head to school together?" Rei Ao asked casually.
"…"
She couldn't find a reason to refuse such an ordinary invitation.
"…Sure."
…
The three of them walked in silence. Yukino felt like a third wheel next to Rei Ao and Mai, who were holding hands. She wished they wouldn't speak to her until they reached school—just a peaceful walk.
Yet things rarely go as one wishes.
Rei Ao, as if just rembering sothing, started talking. "I forgot to drop by and see Mabel last night."
"…"
Of course, Yukino was well aware.
"But," Rei Ao continued, "do you mind if I stop by your place tonight? I just want to make sure she's behaving properly."
Yukino looked at Rei Ao for a good while and finally gave a resigned nod.
"All right."
"Great, then it's settled."
