After bullying Mikan-chan thoroughly under the pretext of giving a gift, the great demon Sora shamelessly felt that he was already very patient to have done these things now. With the current progress of his conquest, he and Mikan-chan should be at this stage.
As for the result, he was satisfied. Mikan-chan, who had come to her senses, was extremely embarrassed. After escaping from Sora's clutches with a whimper, the girl covered her face and burrowed into her quilt, refusing to come out no matter how much Sora called.
A simple girl is indeed a bit thin-skinned, but Sora also quite enjoys this kind of shy feeling from a girl. Let's take it slow, he's not in a hurry. A girl like Mikan will only taste better the more he savors her!
The evil gears have begun to turn, and what comes next will be even more exciting. He himself can't stop anymore...
Jumping out of the window and returning to his room, Lala, who had just come in wrapped in a bath towel, curiously asked Sora where he had been. Without answering, Sora directly picked up Lala and threw her onto the bed. The fire that had been lit in Mikan-chan's place, he would temporarily vent it on Lala!
What princess, what demon king, a pair of adulterous couple just did bad things without any shame.
They were happy, but for some people, it was a long and sleepless night.
Mikan-chan hid in her little quilt, her face as red as blood, endlessly shy. The scenes from before kept replaying in her mind. There was joy and sweetness, as well as the panic of tasting the forbidden fruit for the first time.
In her room, curled up in her quilt, Golden Darkness was also endlessly ashamed. The evil demon sound constantly coming from the next room made the girl's body and mind feel as if they were being scratched by a cat.
"I hate H... I hate H..."
Muttering shamefully, it was unknown how many times she had chanted it before the girl finally fell into a drowsy sleep.
Ever since coming to Earth and being captured by a certain great demon, Golden Darkness could only fall asleep under the influence of the evil demon sound every night through this kind of self-hypnosis...
The next day, early in the morning—
"Little Yami, did you not sleep well again last night?"
Looking at Golden Darkness in a maid outfit with two faint dark circles under her eyes, Sora asked knowingly with a smile.
"Ohayo, Yami."
Coming out of the room with Sora, Lala rubbed her still numb little mouth and also greeted Golden Darkness.
"Ohayo, Princess Lala, Kusanagi Sora."
Suppressing the urge to kill this adulterous couple with one blow, Golden Darkness returned the greeting with a blank expression.
"Still won't call me master? Little Yami is really not obedient at all."
His thieving hands pinched the girl's tender cheeks, and Sora had a slightly frustrated expression.
A shameful blush appeared on her cheeks. Her golden hair fluttered and turned into sharp blades, and Golden Darkness slashed at Sora.
"Well, forget it. You'll call me obediently one day. Let's go make breakfast now."
Letting go of his two thieving hands, he took a step back and easily dodged. Sora also stopped when it was appropriate and didn't continue. He took Lala into the kitchen.
Looking at Sora who had left, Golden Darkness also breathed a sigh of relief. She actually knew that if Sora really wanted to touch her, she would have no chance to resist at all.
"I hate H!"
Covering the place where her cheek had just been touched, Golden Darkness muttered shamefully, and still followed them into the kitchen...
…
"Does Rito-kun also eat this kind of thing in the morning? How rare."
Walking to school together, seeing Rito munching on a piece of dry bread, Sora teased.
"I can't help it. I don't know what's wrong with Mikan. She didn't make breakfast this morning, and she didn't even prepare a bento."
Scratching his head, Rito answered with a frustrated look.
Although he was clueless about cooking, his appetite had long been spoiled by Mikan. The bread, which originally tasted pretty good, was like chewing wax in Rito's mouth.
"What's wrong, is Mikan-chan sick?"
A strange light flashed in his eyes, but Sora had a curious and concerned look on his face.
"She's not sick, but Mikan has been acting a little strange since this morning. I don't know what's wrong."
Recalling Mikan's strange behavior in the morning, Rito couldn't help but have a puzzled look on his face.
In the past, Mikan would get up on time every day to make breakfast for the two of them and prepare lunch boxes for noon. But this morning, not only did Mikan get up very late, but she also kept yawning as if she hadn't slept well.
And that's not all. Rito even saw Mikan standing in front of the mirror with a dazed smile on her face while washing up. It was all very strange.
After listening to Rito ramble for a long time, Sora also knew what was going on. He stroked his chin and smiled without saying a word.
Lala held Sora's arm and hummed a song as she bounced along. Golden Darkness looked at Rito, who was still talking to Sora about Mikan. Although she still had a cold and indifferent expression, a trace of sarcastic pity flashed in her eyes.
Last night when Sora was doing those bad things to Mikan, she had seen it all clearly from her own room!
Although she hadn't admitted it verbally, deep down she already regarded the gentle, considerate, and sincere Mikan as her best friend. At that time, when she saw Sora bullying Mikan, Golden Darkness was about to rush over without thinking, but when she found that Mikan, although extremely shy, didn't really hate or resist, she restrained herself again.
Although she was very clear about what an evil man Kusanagi Sora was, if Mikan was willing, then she had no right to stop him...
Looking at Rito who was still confiding in Sora without any defense, completely unaware that Sora had bullied his sister and still regarded him as his best friend in life, Golden Darkness always felt that this was a pathetic person...
While talking about Mikan, they walked towards the school. At the crossroads, they happened to meet Haruna. It couldn't be said that they just happened to meet, the girl was standing by the roadside as if she had been waiting there for a long time.
"Haruna-chan..."
Seeing Haruna, Rito's eyes instantly lit up, and his heart also pounded uncontrollably.
However, the flower has intentions, but the flowing water is heartless. Rito-kun's whole world is Haruna-chan, but Haruna-chan's eyes have no him...
"Sora-san, ohayo, yesterday..."
Seeing Sora, Haruna immediately went up to greet him, as if she was about to ask something, but when she saw Rito on the side, she suddenly stopped.
"The matter of the ghost, it's better not to let Rito-kun know."
Although she really wanted to ask Sora about the ghost from yesterday afternoon, the girl was simple and kind, and didn't want to cause trouble for Rito, so she decided to hold back for now. She secretly thought that she would ask him later when they got to school.
A slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. Sora naturally knew what Haruna wanted to ask and why she had suddenly stopped. Looking at the slightly disappointed Rito next to him, he naturally wouldn't break it.
"Ohayo, Sairenji-san, let's go to school together."
Just as if he had accidentally run into Haruna, Sora invited with a smile.
"Yes..."
Nodding, Haruna agreed. She also greeted Lala and Golden Darkness on the side, and then looked at Rito who was still standing on the side:
"Rito-kun, ohayo."
Politely nodding to Rito, if it were in the past, Rito would probably have been infatuated again with "Haruna-chan is so gentle," "Haruna-chan is so cute," and then flustered and happily returned the greeting. But this time, Rito felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Although he wasn't very smart, he wasn't a fool either. Haruna clearly had something she wanted to say to Sora just now, but she suddenly stopped when she saw him. This clearly meant that she didn't want him to know, treating him as an outsider.
"Does Haruna-chan not trust me that much..."
With such a thought in his mind, Rito felt a little uncomfortable. And recalling the forced expression on Haruna-chan's face when she said she believed him after he had fallen and made a fool of himself in the past, Rito suddenly felt a sense of being deceived and betrayed.
He liked Haruna-chan so much, he was even willing to work hard to change himself for her, but this was the result...
"Ohayo, Sairenji."
With a forced smile, suppressing the slight pain in his heart, Rito also returned the greeting.
Her beautiful brows furrowed. The forced look in Rito's expression was naturally noticed by the attentive Haruna, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She just nodded lightly and didn't say anything more.
Although she used to care a little about Rito, after being disappointed in him again and again, Rito's shadow in the girl's heart had become smaller and smaller. Just like now, Haruna almost never paid attention to Rito anymore.
For a person she didn't care much about, the girl naturally wouldn't think too much about the abnormality in the other party's expression.
A group of people walked to school together. Haruna chatted with Lala and Golden Darkness about things between girls, while Rito followed beside Sora in silence.
If it were the original timeline, after meeting Lala, the awakened Rito would have progressed all the way, with a red flag at home and colorful flags outside, already a winner in life with a harem. Not to mention girls like Lala and Run, he and Haruna were also in love with each other, only one step away from expressing their feelings.
However, because of a certain great demon, Rito was still treading water, or perhaps even worse than that!
Lala, Run, Golden Darkness, and Yui, these girls who should have had many entanglements with him, now only regarded him as a familiar stranger. The awakening of his god-like falling ability did not bring him any peachy luck, but instead earned him the title of a disgusting pervert.
And that heart that longed for and admired Haruna, for various reasons, had also developed cracks, no longer as pure and strong as it once was.
Looking at Haruna, who was chatting and laughing with Lala and the others on the side, Rito felt that the hearts of the two of them were getting further and further apart...
