"Ugh..."
Kasumi Haruno opened her eyes, her mind still foggy. She propped herself up with one hand, unsteadily supporting her body into a sitting position. The blanket slid down her shoulders, revealing her full, battle-scarred upper body. She saw the headboard, shifted her position, and leaned against it.
"Hiss~"
The headboard was cold, and the current temperature wasn't exactly warm. The cool headboard and the chilly air hit her delicate body, making her sharply inhale. She tugged the blanket until it covered her below her nose.
Kasumi Haruno looked at the empty room. As the cool air persistently snuck into the blanket, the haziness in her eyes slowly dissipated. Memories of last night gradually surfaced, and with them, fatigue and soreness crept into her body, accompanied by waves of hunger, making her feel weak.
Did he just leave?
Kasumi Haruno felt the weakness surge over her. She stared blankly at the closed door, a sudden feeling of emptiness settling in her heart.
She looked at the messy bed, the blood-stained sheets, and the still damp patches on the blanket. Everything from last night was vivid.
She turned her head. Her phone was on the small bedside table, and nothing else. The bed seemed similarly bare...
He didn't even leave my clothes?
Kasumi Haruno tightened the blanket, feeling a chill in her heart. She reached out, picked up the phone from the table, and opened her contacts.
Should I call Rikuto to bring me clothes?
Kasumi Haruno looked at the number labeled "Little Brother" on the screen, thinking hesitantly. She had transferred here for certain reasons and was ostracized by everyone. She hadn't been able to make any good friends, so her contacts page only contained numbers for her parents, Rikuto, and friends from her old school. But what good were they now?
She checked the time: 9:40 AM, almost 10 AM. School must have started. Her absence probably wouldn't cause any trouble. Looking at Rikuto's number, she remembered her sweet cousin expressing his feelings for her recently. She suddenly felt thankful that she had tried to conceal what she was doing last night, hoping she hadn't aroused his suspicion.
She actually felt fine about her cousin. Although she didn't have any special feelings right now, he might become a reliable figure later. After getting rid of this guy, she could try getting along better with her brother... But would Rikuto's 'thing' be as big as his? Last night was really comfortable~
Rikuto is so short. Is his 'thing' small too? If so, would I feel anything? It should be fine... Even small ones must be cute...
As she thought, Kasumi Haruno's mind drifted from its original track and wandered far away.
Knock, knock, knock!
"Guest, you only paid for one night, so it's nearly time for you to check out." A man's voice came through the door, interrupting her thoughts and making her feel both nervous and disappointed—he only booked the room for one night.
"Get lost! What the fuck is wrong with you? The money I gave you yesterday was enough for a week! Are you trying to take advantage of me being gone for a while? Even if part of that was your tip, don't be so shameless! You piece of shit! Don't you believe you'll vanish from here tomorrow?"
Alistair had just walked upstairs and saw the receptionist standing at the door, knocking and urging them to leave. Hearing his words, Alistair immediately charged up, kicked him to the ground, and verbally tore into him.
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I apologize deeply..."
The receptionist clearly hadn't expected Alistair to return. Alistair had left around seven or eight and hadn't come back for two or three hours. Leaving early and staying away for so long made the receptionist assume Kasumi Haruno was just a girl Alistair had picked up to play with, and that he wouldn't care about her anymore. He planned to kick her out.
Or, if he got lucky, he could even pick up Kasumi Haruno, the girl the young master was done with. After all, he had gotten a good look at her last night: her body and face were top-tier. Even getting a taste would be a blessing.
He hadn't expected the young master to return and catch him in the act. Now he was extremely remorseful, terrified of being taken care of. In this neighborhood where gangs ran rampant, he didn't want a "cement-pillar special ticket."
"Hmph, get the hell out of here. Don't let me see you again. You're ruining my mood."
Alistair sneered, cursing him a few more times before sending the fear-stricken, fawning receptionist away. Alistair hadn't even returned the room card. What made him think Alistair wasn't coming back?
And I don't know if the boss of this place is crazy, but why hire a man instead of a woman for the front desk? Such bad luck.
Next, Alistair set down the bag he was carrying, fished the room card from his pocket, scanned it, and opened the door.
"Oh? You're awake? That makes sense, it's almost ten. You must have been awake for a while, right? By the way."
Alistair greeted Kasumi Haruno, who was staring blankly at him. He lifted the bag from the floor and walked toward her, not forgetting to close the door behind him.
"Hey, hey, snap out of it."
Alistair walked to the bedside, placed the items on the table, and seeing Kasumi Haruno still staring blankly at him, he raised an eyebrow and waved his hand in front of her eyes.
"You... didn't leave?" Kasumi Haruno's naive question almost made Alistair laugh.
"I'm right here. Where would I go? It's not like I'm going back to class. I don't care about that shitty school's classes." Alistair crossed his arms, looking at Kasumi Haruno leaning against the headboard. He sensed that something was off with her mood.
"I thought you just..."
Kasumi Haruno avoided Alistair's gaze. Her previous urge to escape Alistair completely vanished, replaced by a feeling in her heart that seemed to be filled.
?
What the hell, little sister? Looking at you, you spent a night being fucked by me, and now you've caught feelings? Then why did I even film the video on the Digital Camera?
Honestly, according to the script, shouldn't she be trying to get away from me after I fucked her and filmed the video? Then I'd slowly train her until she finally became my loyal fuck doll?
Why is she suddenly acting like she's been halfway seduced? Is that vulgar saying true: "The path to a woman's heart is through her cunt"?
"Your clothes were pretty damaged, so I went to a clothing store and bought you a new set in the same size. Also, I picked up some seafood ramen on the way, and some desserts. Want some? I figure you must be hungry."
Alistair couldn't figure out her thoughts, so he simply stopped trying. He opened one of the bags and handed her the takeout ramen.
Kasumi Haruno took the ramen. Her hands were still sore, and the weight made her hands dip slightly. Alistair quickly caught it, preventing it from spilling.
"Right, I forgot I hadn't completely cured you yet."
Alistair extended his index finger and touched Kasumi Haruno's forehead. Streams of Horse Talisman energy flowed into her body, dispelling her fatigue and weakness.
Rumble~
Soon, Kasumi Haruno was only left with hunger, but she didn't notice. The fact that the person in front of her possessed healing superpowers had completely stunned her mind.
"Hey, are you going to eat?" Alistair pinched her nose gently, making her snap back to reality.
She hurriedly nodded, took the ramen, and started eating. However, her eyes still occasionally glanced at Alistair, filled with curiosity, like a child exploring him.
