Date a Live:This is not the date I wanted! Chapter 365 365: Mukuro with the Unlocked heart

Shido didn't have to wait long. Very soon, after receiving Yutsuki's notification, Tohka and the others rushed to the sickroom.

"Shido, are you okay?"

"Mhm, I'm fine... Sorry everyone. I made you worry, and even after you did so much for , I..."

Shido nodded slightly. Seeing everyone worried and anxious for him, he felt a wave of sha in his heart.

"What are you saying? Everyone knows how hard Shido tried."

"Y-Yes... please don't say things like that..."

"You look very down. Are you okay? Do you want to grope so tits? If you don't mind my ager size, that is."

"Eh?! Can I really,Nia-san? What's with this service, are you a saint? Darling, I want to join too."

"Alright, Shido needs to rest right now. Your little skit ends here."

Looking at the excited Miku, Kotori roasted her speechlessly, stopping them from dragging the topic off course.

"Ugh... Okay~"

Miku answered with a hint of regret.

"Well, don't let Nia and Miku's actions fool you, they're worried about you too. If you want to repay everyone's feelings, rest up well and cheer up quickly."

"Hey, Imouto-chan. What do you an 'don't let Nia fool you', I'm serious about giving the boy so service to liven him up."

Nia protested dissatisfiedly.

"Haha—I know."

Shido nodded with a smile. Understanding that everyone was trying to comfort him in their own ways, his mood relaxed considerably.

Subsequently, worried about the situation at Ratatoskr base, Kotori contacted the base.

Shido and the others learned that because its location was exposed and it was severely damaged by DEM, the offshore base had been abandoned.

Fortunately, thanks to Yutsuki's tily handling during the battle, the actual damage sustained was minimal, and there were basically no casualties.

Of course, there was indeed one mber who was severely injured and nearly died: the head of Ratatoskr—Woodman. The old man encountered Westcott's ambush while escaping. After a battle, he lost the use of one arm and one leg and was currently receiving treatnt in a Realizer at the dical departnt.

However, when Shido and the others saw Woodman on the screen, the other party didn't show the weakness of a patient at all. Instead, he kindly asked about Shido's physical condition after falling to Earth. It wasn't until his secretary Karen appeared and urged him to rest peacefully that he regretfully said goodbye and ended the communication.

However, although Ratatoskr suffered quite a blow in this incident, DEM's situation wasn't much better. Not only did they fail to capture the Spirit as expected, but they also lost a significant number of Bandersnatch and Wizards. Two airships were seized, one airship exploded, and their trump card Ellen's Goetia returned heavily damaged, likely requiring a long ti to repair. It could be said their vitality was severely sapped.

No matter how much Westcott wanted to cause trouble, he would need ti to rest and readjust. It was impossible for him to launch another attack in the short term.

Thus, the DEM matter ca to a temporary conclusion, and Shido and the others shifted the focus of their discussion back to Hoshimiya Mukuro.

"Kotori, do you know Mukuro's location?"

"...Well, although I'd love to tell you to rest well and I'll take responsibility for finding her, unfortunately, I'm currently troubled by this myself."

Being asked this by Shido, Kotori didn't hide it and shrugged to show her worry.

"Unlike the fake Michael created by Haniel, the distance of the doors Mukuro can open is imnse. According to Maria's detection, it's possible she has fled to the other side of the Earth, or even returned to space outside the atmosphere. It could be said that if Mukuro truly wants to hide, finding her is absolutely impossible with Earth's current technological level."

If you had to say, the search area encompasses the entire universe including Earth. Even for Ratatoskr, with the most cutting-edge technology, finding Mukuro was undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack.

The reason Kotori could state such discouraging words so decisively was because before Shido woke up, she had already attempted multiple searches and failed.

"Honestly, the only way to find Mukuro's location now is Nia's stolen Angel, Rasiel."

"I'm very sorry, Imouto-chan. Even though it's ti for to shine, I'm powerless."

Honjou Nia said sowhat ashadly. To this, Kotori calmly shook her head.

"It's fine, it wasn't your fault to begin with. I just brought up an unrealistic idea."

"Well, don't think of it so drastically, Kotori-chan."

Seeing Kotori's distressed look, Yutsuki patted her shoulder and comforted her.

"Think about it. Since Shido unlocked her heart and protected her from DEM's attacks, regardless of whether Mukuro feels grateful for this, she must be very concerned about Shido's condition right now. Maybe we won't even need to look for her. If we just wait here patiently, Mukuro will co out on her own."

"Could sothing that convenient really happen...?"

Mid-sentence, Kotori's expression suddenly turned very strange.

"Kotori-chan?"

Following the direction of Kotori's gaze, Yutsuki saw that behind Shido, a door silently opened. From that void gap, a girl wearing a pink purple cheongsam with super long blonde hair stepped out.

That was exactly the person Yutsuki and the others had just been discussing—Hoshimiya Mukuro.

(Speak of the devil and she appears.)

Yutsuki couldn't help but think speechlessly.

Mukuro didn't make a sound. Instead, she gently sat down on her knees and leaned her body against Shido's back.

"M-Mukuro?!"

Noticing Mukuro appearing behind him, Shido widened his eyes in surprise.

"Phew, it seems you are fine. Muku is relieved."

Raising her head slightly, Mukuro's gaze lingered on Shido's face for a mont before she nodded, a sweet smile curling her lips.

"What...?!"

"Wh-Why is Mukuro here..."

"Panic. What exactly is going on?"

Soon, everyone else also reacted to Mukuro's appearance one after another, letting out surprised cries.

"Hm?"

However, after turning her head to glance at everyone, Mukuro quickly lost interest. She returned her gaze to Shido, her slender fingers gently tracing Shido's cheek.

"To make Muku wait so long, you truly are a hateful man. But Muku is in a very good mood today, so I shall let bygones be bygones."

Watching Mukuro and Shido's sticky, intimate behavior, although everyone still held back from speaking out of consideration for the situation, Yutsuki still felt the atmosphere in the room gradually becoming a bit scary.

However, Mukuro was completely oblivious to everyone's reactions, continuing to be affectionate with Shido on her own.

(This Mukuro seems to be the type who marches strongly to her own beat.)*

Yutsuki thought with a bitter smile.

"Sohow... she seems like the very self-assertive type."

Watching Mukuro's actions, Natsumi leaned against Yutsuki and whispered secretly.

Natsumi, you were pretty much the sa back then. Hearing Natsumi's evaluation of Mukuro, Yutsuki didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Well, don't rush to judge based on first impressions. After all, if her Spirit power is truly sealed, we'll be living together from now on. Let's try to get along first."

"...Alright, I'll try my best."

After thinking for a mont, Natsumi nodded.

But honestly, after unlocking the Heart Lock, Mukuro showed affection rather than hostility towards Shido—this indeed reassured Yutsuki a lot. After all, whether Shido's actions were considered good or evil in Mukuro's eyes, no one but her knew.

"Uh... um..."

However, compared to the relieved Yutsuki, Shido was now stiff all over. On one hand, feeling the soft and comfortable sensation like cotton candy pressing against his back, and on the other hand, enduring the complaining stares from everyone, Shido felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, not daring to move an inch.

"Nushi-sama, your body is as stiff as a teorite. But it's very cute, Muku is very fond of it."

Saying this, Mukuro reached out her head and gently rubbed her cheek against Shido's. The smooth long hair, the tender skin, the alluring body scent—these were clearly transmitted to Shido's brain through his senses, making him feel dizzy.

Looking only at this scene, probably no one could imagine that the girl before them had tried to kill Itsuka Shido with a teorite not long ago.

"Ahem—"

If things were left alone, the situation would probably get out of hand. Yutsuki deliberately coughed and said.

"Alright, if you want to be intimate, at least consider the ti and place.Mukuro-san, could you please explain the situation?"

Hearing Yutsuki's voice, Shido finally snapped back to reality, looking at Mukuro with an awkward face.

"O-Okay, Mukuro!? Could you let go first?"

"Ugh..."

Mukuro frowned in slight dissatisfaction, but still listened to Shido's words, reluctantly letting go of him.

Then, Mukuro turned her gaze to Yutsuki.

"Who are you? What is your relationship with Muku's nushi-sama?"

"I should be the one asking the questions... Forget it."

The corner of Yutsuki's mouth twitched slightly. She held back from roasting Mukuro's phrasing that sounded like interrogating a mistress, sighed, and began to introduce herself.

"My na is Ryougi Yutsuki. A second-year class 3 student at Raizen High School. My hobby is watching ani. I have no foods I hate. My favorite food is ran. I have no preferred type of the opposite sex. The type of opposite sex I hate is irresponsible playboys. As for my relationship with Itsuka Shido—"

Giving so irrelevant personal information to stall for ti, Yutsuki observed Mukuro while answering softly,

"Just his family."
