"DXD: Multiverse Journey"Chapter 268: The Losers' Club—Nothing Like Dog Food for Breakfast
A few days slipped by in a blur.
Mayuri had officially moved into the Spirit Villa, and now she was a member of Raizen High's Class 2-4. The news that Mayuri was living under the same roof as Shuo Nangong hit the class like a bombshell. The wails of despair could probably be heard all the way across campus.
Within minutes, Shuo was branded a "normie scumbag" by the masses.
And honestly? Hearing all those hopeless sighs and theatrical moans from his classmates gave Shuo a strange, smug sense of satisfaction.
He'd never admit it out loud, but… it felt great.
Before homeroom, Shuo was hanging out with the girls, the mood light and full of laughter.
"So, Mayuri, how's the new lifestyle treating you?" he asked.
Mayuri pressed a finger to her lips, thinking for a moment. Then she smiled, eyes bright.
"I love it! Ever since I moved in with everyone, every day's been so much fun… and I've made so many friends."
"I see." Shuo's face grew suddenly serious, his tone dropping conspiratorially low.
"In that case, let me ask you something else."
Mayuri, sensing the shift, straightened up. The smile faded.
She braced herself, certain he was about to say something important.
Shuo leaned in, voice barely above a whisper, eyes glinting with mischief.
"So, Mayuri… when are you going to give me your first time?"
The words hit like a thunderclap.
Mayuri froze, her mind going completely blank.
The other girls erupted instantly.
"Oh my God! Shuo-kun, what are you even saying?!"
"Ara, has Shuo-chan finally snapped and decided to unleash his true nature?"
"Shuo-kun, sexual harassment is strictly prohibited."
"If you're that desperate, come find me—I'll…"
"Amazing. Only Origami-senpai could say something like that with a straight face!"
"…"
Mayuri's cheeks flared red, almost steaming.
This guy—he really had no filter. Was he just here to stir up trouble?
Saying something like that in front of everyone… He was beyond shameless. He was a menace.
Regaining her senses, Mayuri reached out, palm to his face, and shoved him away with a sigh of resignation. Then, standing up, she gave his shin a gentle kick.
"Unbelievable! You're getting more and more hentai by the day. How can you even say stuff like that?"
Her whole face was crimson now. Shuo just laughed, patting his leg, eyes crinkling with amusement.
"I'm just stating the facts," he said innocently.
"And besides, Mayuri, if Kotori hadn't barged in the other day, you'd have been mine already."
He grinned, turning the knife.
"You seemed pretty happy and excited back then—so why so shy now?"
Mayuri clapped a hand over his mouth, mortified.
"Don't you dare! Stop talking! Not in front of everyone!"
She looked about ready to boil over, steam practically rising from her head.
There was no winning with this guy—he'd blurt out the most embarrassing things, and always at the worst possible moment.
And in front of the whole harem, too.
She could feel Tohka, Origami, Yaguya, and the rest staring at her, and she wanted to melt into the floor.
Kurumi, of course, was quick to seize the moment. She gave Shuo a sly, knowing look, her tone dripping with mischief.
"Ara ara, Shuo-chan, be honest—have you and Mayuri already…?"
Shuo gently pried Mayuri's hand away, shaking his head with exaggerated regret.
"Sadly, no. Kotori ruined the mood—didn't get to finish…"
Then he turned to Kurumi, eyes twinkling.
"By the way, Kurumi, when are you going to pay up on that reward you promised me? I've been waiting forever."
Kurumi blinked, then covered her cheek with one hand, peeking at him with a wine-red eye.
"Oh my, I wanted to give Shuo-chan his reward, but Natsumi kept dragging me away! It's all her fault we never got the chance~"
Shuo nodded solemnly.
"So it's all Natsumi's fault, huh?"
He grinned, leaning toward Kurumi.
"Then next time, bring Natsumi along too. We can all have some fun together…"
Kurumi giggled, playing along.
"Exactly! It's all Natsumi's fault, so she has to come too."
"Kurumi, you really get me!" Shuo shot her a thumbs-up, delighted.
The depth of their "friendship" was enough to bring a tear to his eye.
Natsumi, meanwhile, was frozen in shock, listening to the two of them plot.
"Kurumi!!!" she squeaked.
"You idiot, don't say stuff like that! Who—who wants to do anything with him?! Stop dragging me into your pervy schemes!"
Her face was burning, her cheeks puffed out in indignation.
She glared at both of them, but the effect was more adorable than threatening.
Shuo, emboldened, stepped forward and took her hand, meeting her eyes with a mock-serious expression.
"I mean it, Natsumi. You're so cute, so gentle—I really like you."
He squeezed her hand, voice dropping to a stage-whisper.
"So, Natsumi-chan, won't you be my girlfriend?"
The "Trinity" of Date A Live: "This is peak shamelessness."
For a moment, the whole group just stared at him, speechless.
How could one guy be so utterly, gloriously shameless?
Natsumi, for her part, was red from ear to ear, completely at a loss.
If he'd confessed somewhere private, she might have actually said yes.
Thankfully, Kurumi stepped in to rescue her best friend.
"Alright, alright, Shuo-chan, let's not tease Natsumi anymore. If you really want to confess, do it somewhere private. Look at how flustered she is—so cute!"
Natsumi breathed a tiny sigh of relief—until she caught the tail end of Kurumi's teasing.
She shot her a glare, then glanced at Shuo with a look that was half-resentful, half-bashful.
Shuo just chuckled.
"Hehe, got it, got it. I'll save it for later."
The teasing continued right up until the bell rang for class, the air thick with laughter, embarrassment, and just a hint of chaos.
Meanwhile, the rest of the class watched from afar, tears streaming down their faces.
Every flirtatious glance, every playful touch—Shuo and the girls were practically shoveling "dog food" into their mouths by the bucketful.
It hurt.
It really, really hurt.
