"So..."
In front of Mu Xiaoxiao, she was sent over the edge by his hands, mouth, and tongue...
Himemiya Makoto was very annoyed, very mad, and very angry. But one thing she had to admit—that feeling was indeed very comfortable. And precisely because she knew this, she felt even more conflicted.
This was the first time Himemiya Makoto had tasted such pleasure. The first time she'd climaxed.
But with this abominable villain—even if it was comfortable, she absolutely couldn't admit it. Even if she had to deceive herself...

The warehouse door opened. When the two emerged from the dark room, they'd already tidied their messy school uniforms. They seemed back to normal. But in truth, her slender, plump thighs still trembled slightly.
On her delicate, smooth face, the flush hadn't faded. The aftertaste lingered.
The young man beside her also wore a satisfied expression.
They hadn't taken it to the final step. But aside from that last step, everything that could be done had been done. For Himemiya Makoto, her body held no more secrets from Mu Xiaoxiao.

The status window remained unchanged.
[Strength]: 6
[Agility]: 6
[Wisdom]: 7
[Physique]: 18
Skills: [Absolute Control] [Observation] [Incubus Pattern]
[♡]: 7
His attributes hadn't changed. Though the first three stats were average, the boosted physique attribute greatly benefited his body. Additionally, the heart count remained unchanged.
He hadn't breached the final barrier with this beautiful, handsome girl, so naturally he couldn't obtain the love energy that brought power. The seven hearts remaining—he wanted to keep adding to attributes.
But considering the many tempting skills available, Mu Xiaoxiao decided to save up. Anyway, his heart acquisition efficiency was quite good now.
"High physique also speeds up my recovery." He twisted his neck. "Though last night was high-intensity, I've almost recovered now."
"Don't forget our agreement." Himemiya Makoto tried to recover from the chaos just now, looking at him with shame and indignation. Thinking of what this villain did to her in the warehouse...
Those unscrupulous fingers... Her body trembled. The sensation seemed to linger.
And in front of Kaoru! Even with a door blocking...
After paying all this, after doing all this, she hoped Mu Xiaoxiao would honor their agreement.
"Of course. I'll honor it." Mu Xiaoxiao walked beside her on the campus path. Tree shadows along the road shielded the strong sunlight overhead. A breeze cooled Himemiya Makoto's feverish brain.
"After all, I wouldn't want to let an excellent girl like Makoto go." Mu Xiaoxiao's mouth curled viciously, making no secret of his desire and goal.
Stared at by his scorching gaze—like his hand touching her skin, like that touch in the warehouse—Himemiya Makoto bit her pink lip. 'Not let me go? Does he want to completely possess me?'
'No... that kind of thing... I can endure him taking advantage, but my last line of defense can't...'
"I haven't eaten lunch." Mu Xiaoxiao, unaware of the girl's complicated thoughts, twisted his neck. "You haven't eaten either, right? Together?"
"..."
Who wanted to eat with him? Himemiya Makoto was about to refuse. She turned her head and met his playful eyes and smile. Her expression froze. She could only stiffly twitch the corners of her mouth.
"Whatever."
'This dangerous guy. I have to keep Chisato away from him.'

Japanese high school cafeterias were like any other—every mealtime was a battle. But by the time Mu Xiaoxiao and Himemiya Makoto arrived, the peak had passed. Few students remained.
Of course, all the popular, discounted dishes were sold out. Only expensive or less popular options were left.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Himemiya Makoto sat facing each other. Two servings of seafood spaghetti sat on the table. The girl seemed to have no appetite, resting her chin on one hand, unconsciously stirring the noodles with her chopsticks.
Across from her, Mu Xiaoxiao ate heartily. The girl was treating—of course he ate well, stuffing food into his mouth.
Seeing his voracious appetite, Himemiya Makoto's eyelashes fluttered. She couldn't help glancing at him a few times. 'Coming to the cafeteria with me... wasn't it just so she'd treat?'
Besides that, there was nothing else.
This thought eased Makoto's fears.
"If you can't finish, I can help." Seeing her not eating, Mu Xiaoxiao wiped his mouth and set down his chopsticks. "I don't mind."
"...Hmph. Big eater."
Her muttering wasn't loud, but Mu Xiaoxiao heard. He raised an eyebrow, unbothered. Since his physique strengthened, his appetite had grown considerably.
"This amount's nothing. Don't you know people with strong bodies eat more?" Mu Xiaoxiao pulled his collar, revealing his collarbone, and looked at Himemiya Makoto.
Her face flushed.
'Strong body...' Thinking of the muscles she'd accidentally touched before, Himemiya Makoto's gaze suddenly wandered.
And Mu Xiaoxiao's masculine scent...
'No, no, no—I can't think about that!'
Himemiya Makoto viciously shook these strange thoughts from her head. 'The person I like is Kaoru. How could I think about another man...?' Looking at Mu Xiaoxiao with inexplicable emotions, she quickly lowered her head.
"If you want more, order another. I'm not giving you mine."
"No problem. You're treating."
"..."
'This guy!'
Soon, Mu Xiaoxiao returned with another bowl of pork cutlet ramen. "I hear Japan has many big-eating competitions. Maybe I should try one."
"Most competitors are fat—sumo wrestlers and such." Himemiya Makoto said quietly. "Even you couldn't beat them."
"Who knows."
Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at his unchanged status window, then at the girl before him. His eyes flickered. 'When would be a good opportunity to mark her...'
Ring—
His phone rang.
"Hello? Chisato."
Answering the call, one word made Himemiya Makoto suddenly look up.
She fixed her gaze on Mu Xiaoxiao.
"Yeah. Okay. I understand."
After a short chat, Mu Xiaoxiao dealt with it briefly and hung up.
"Was that Chi-chan? What did you talk about?"
"Hmm? Do you care? I don't need to tell you my conversations with her, do I?" Mu Xiaoxiao continued eating noodles.
"You—you promised me. Our deal." A vein appeared on Makoto's forehead.
"Right. I won't force Chisato. Don't worry. I keep my word. So..." Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly drew out his words, then laughed.
"After school today, Himemiya Makoto. Stay in the classroom and wait for me."
"..."
"Part of the deal. You won't refuse, will you?"
"..."
After a long moment, the girl slowly set down her chopsticks. She took a deep look at Mu Xiaoxiao. Melancholy crossed her face. She nodded.
"Now... I suddenly regret this a little."
"Hm?"
She didn't continue. Himemiya Makoto felt that though this was for Chi-chan, though it was just a transaction... she seemed unable to escape Mu Xiaoxiao's grasp.
He had her completely.
So she regretted it. A little.
'This person is truly dangerous!'
'At least—even if I fall, I absolutely cannot let Chi-chan fall too. I have to save her from this devil's clutches!'
