After all, even though both of them had strong physiques, the rich experience he had accumulated through countless battles was no joke. Not to ntion the blessing of his pure love halo, the aid of Nutrition Express, and skills like ability absorption always at hand.
Hearing Hikari's words, Kiryuuin Kaede indeed flew into a rage, "You!"
She wanted, like before, to get up, relying on the strong body and strength of the oni clan, to give this foul-mouthed man a proper beating.
But after the repeated battles, her body was weak. Her legs were so sore that just moving them felt like they would snap in half. She couldn't carry out her idea at all.
Kaede could only swallow down her habitual impulse to lash out, turning instead to ponder Hikari's words, trying to scold this detestable human with her tongue.
But when she thought it over, recalling what had happened in the past few hours, her mouth, which had opened several tis, slowly closed again.
From furious sha to embarrassed guilt.
From a heart full of complaints to having nothing left to say.
Because what Hikari just said, that it was all initiated by her, seed to be true in her mory.
If Hikari said he was the victim, that also seed true.
The ss scattered across the room, the precious thing she had lost, were all caused by herself. That was the fact.
When her head had been unclear, she had even said things like, "I really want to try it…", and other nonsense.
Kaede couldn't help but raise a hand to cover her flaming red face.
But very soon she lifted her head again, unable to hold back, and argued, "No, the reason I ended up like that…"
"It… it was all because you used that strange golden light to dissolve my oni power, making lose the suppression of the ring's backlash, which caused to completely lose control!"
Facing her attempt to shift bla, Hikari calmly shook his head, "It was you who provoked again and again. I only retaliated. It's you who couldn't handle it."
Seeing his overly calm expression, Kaede was suddenly infuriated, "So you're always right, huh? I was the one who suffered! You're going too far!" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet
Hikari sneered, "You suffered? You begged for it. I was the one forced. And it's only been a few hours, you forgot who kept rolling her eyes back?"
"And saying stuff like, 'It was worth it for a lifeti, I don't want to be a oni anymore, I want to be an obedient star slave in exchange for eternal happiness.'"
"What, you've forgotten those words now?"
'How… how can he rember so clearly?'
Kaede's eyes widened in disbelief at him. Only after a few seconds did sha finally return, the burning blush flooding her cheeks, spreading to her ears and neck.
"I-I-I… I never said that…", After stamring for a long ti, she still couldn't bring herself to argue further. She forced out that stiff denial, then turned her face away in embarrassnt, unable to keep looking at him.
As Kaede sank deeper into the sha that made her want to die on the spot, the room fell silent.
.
.
.
Several minutes passed.
Finally, it was Hikari who broke the silence.
He looked at her and said calmly, "Enough, Miss Kiryuuin. I'll treat this as if it never happened."
"As for today, when you forced yourself on , I won't tell Yukino-chan. Just tell the address and information of the Demi-Human Academy, and that will be enough."
At his words, Kaede forgot her shyness, raised her head, and glared at him angrily, "What do you an I forced you? Clearly you also… you also… you also enjoyed it…"
"And clearly you were the one in control! Yo-you made do this and that, made crawl and kneel, hit and scolded , and now you say this about ."
"Uuuh… damn human!"
"As expected… as expected humans are all rotten!"
As she spoke, her eyes filled with tears, and drops finally fell from her beautiful eyes.
This strong oni princess, rarely, couldn't hold back her tears.
Seeing Kaede crying pitifully like pear blossoms in the rain, Hikari softened a little. After all, he had just made her cry for hours, and now had made her cry again. Not so good.
He pulled a few tissues from the cracked table and handed them to her, sighing, "Since you say that, then let's tell Yukino, let her judge who's right."
At that, Kaede instantly stopped crying. Panic flashed through her teary eyes, "N-no! You mustn't tell Yukino-chan about this!"
Hikari nodded calmly, "Fine. But the address of the Demi-Human Academy…"
Kaede gritted her teeth, "Fine, I'll tell you! You're still thinking about those elves and dragon girls, aren't you? Shaless human! I'll tell you! The Demi-Human Academy is just outside Tokyo, it's at…"
"But even if you know the address, as a human it's useless! They won't let you in! Unless a demon takes you inside!"
Hikari nodded, "Then you take ."
Kaede's eyes widened, "Don't even think about it!"
Hikari spread his hands calmly, "Well then, if you don't, I'll tell Yukino-chan you defiled . Truth speaks for itself. Yukino knows how strong oni bodies are, you think she won't believe ?"
"You!", Kaede was furious at his calm, confident face.
She wanted to curse him out, but feeling her body still weak, and seeing his head still held proudly high even now, she couldn't help feeling a little fear.
Just a few hours ago, she finally understood why every night Yukino, as a snow woman, couldn't help but cry.
Ashad, angry, and humiliated, she didn't say more. She grabbed her shredded, bloodstained shrine maiden outfit from the floor, and limped into the bathroom.
Hikari glanced at the red plum blossom blooming on the carpet, then at her graceful back as she stumbled away, shaking his head.
The oni's physique truly was strong. Though it was hard for her, since she could still walk, he didn't help her.
If he went to support her now, she'd probably just bite his arm, leaving a row of neat teeth marks like those already on both his shoulders.
He shook his hands out and rolled up the bloody carpet.
Because of that accidental connection just now, his relationship with Kaede had unexpectedly grown much closer.
Not only physically closer.
Because this usually fierce, violent Kaede had shown surprising softness and passivity in that mont.
Even her voice had beco a delicate, sorrowful whisper.
Though hearing that voice begging for rcy only stirred cruelty and pushed him to charge harder toward the end…
Still, Hikari didn't dislike it.
After such a thing, it was hard for Kaede to keep her ferocious attitude toward him, and him toward her.
Just like the confrontation just now. Before, the two of them would already be fighting again. But Kaede didn't raise her hand this ti.
Partly because of her weakness. But also, sothing in her heart had changed.
Her violent air just now was different from before.
But Hikari also knew, Kaede was a oni, not like a human woman, not so easily conquered this way.
She wouldn't beco submissive just from trying his "wonders" once.
If not for the ring's backlash, Kaede would never have done such a thing.
So even though she had promised him everything in her dazed state, those words were empty. He wouldn't take them seriously.
Now that she had regained herself, she was back to resisting and disliking him.
At least on the surface.
That was normal.
And given her friendship with Yukino, their thoughts were the sa.
But he really had been forced, he was the victim. Whatever he did after, at the very first mont, he had been forced.
So he still demanded so payback.
That way, they could both tacitly treat it as an accident.
Though Kaede stubbornly hadn't agreed, Hikari believed it wouldn't be long.
This oni princess, whose mouth was harder than any part of her body, wouldn't be able to stay hard for long.
After all, once it had been pried open, no matter how hard the mouth, there were still cracks.
He believed it wouldn't be long before she obediently took him to the Youkai Academy.
So he didn't think too much more.
After cleaning the filthy, wrecked living room, he left a set of Yukino's clothes by the bathroom door, to replace Kaede's ruined shrine maiden outfit.
Then he too carried clothes and went to shower in Yukino's master bedroom.
After washing thoroughly and scrubbing away all traces, Hikari ca out.
He glanced at the bathroom. Its door was open, clothes gone. Kaede had already finished bathing and returned to her room to hide.
He was considering whether to knock and discuss more when—
Creaaak!
The front door opened.
At the entryway ca familiar footsteps.
"Hikari-kun, you're here~"
The sound of slippers and her sweet voice ca together.
Hikari knew, Yukino was back.
"Yukino-chan."
He answered, walking over to the entryway to take the many bags from her hands.
"Take off your shoes and mask, I'll carry these groceries."
"Mm! Thank you, Hikari-kun~"
At this ti, Yukino wore a mask on her face, a hat on her head, bundled up tightly.
This socially anxious, awkward snow woman had prepared thoroughly to go outside.
And since going out wasn't easy, she had bought a lot at once.
Hikari took the bags, filling both arms to the brim.
Maybe it was because she had bought too much, but seeing her bright, sweet smile made the teeth marks on his shoulders ache faintly.
"I've taken off my shoes, Hikari-kun, give back so of the bags~"
After shedding her heavy clothes and disguise, Yukino once again wore her black-silk tight skirt. She took several bags from his hands.
Together they walked into the living room.
But as soon as Yukino stepped in, her feet halted.
Looking at the ssy living room, her eyes went wide. Shocked, she turned to Hikari.
"Hikari-kun, this…"
Hikari nodded, "That Kiryuuin Kaede, I had a fight with her."
Looking at the broken table, shattered chairs, snapped cradle, crippled rocking horse, peeled sofa… even though it had been tidied, the place was still ssy.
Just how brutal had this battle been?
While she was gone, Hikari-kun and Kaede-chan… went at it so ruthlessly?
Yukino couldn't help but ask with worry, "Hikari-kun, you didn't get hurt, did you?"
