The morning sun streamed through the window, shining into the room. The sunlight fell on Aoko Aozaki's frowning face, the warmth of the sun scorching her skin.
The temperature of her face gradually rose, and her breathing grew heavier.
"Ugh!"
Aoko's eyes snapped open, as if from a nightmare, her sapphire-like eyes filled with panic.
But what she saw was the brown ceiling.
The all-too-familiar sight immediately told her that this was her own bedroom.
"Ah—it's morning." Aoko slapped her forehead and lay back lazily on the bed, smacking her lips.
"It's been a long time... since I've had a nightmare."
'Was that really a dream?' Aoko asked herself.
Her sister's hate-filled, crazed expression, and the wolf, which had been in pain from her counterattack, and the feeling of her whole body being torn apart? A dream couldn't be that real, right?
Aoko suspiciously lifted her hands and checked her body. She remembered being tortured by her sister, Touko, her body no longer human.
But now—
"Arms are normal."
Aoko quickly lifted her hands and made a few grasping motions in the air. Though she was testing her arms, to an outsider, her movements were extremely lewd.
"Legs... are also normal." Aoko lifted her legs, and the greenish-blue comforter covering her body arched high.
The bedsheet slid down her smooth legs, soon reaching her stomach, revealing her naked upper body. The friction of the comforter against her skin made her itch all over.
"So itchy~"
Looking at the slipped comforter, Aoko stuck out her tongue, looking exceptionally playful and cute, a mischievous expression on her face that was rarely seen. Then, she twisted her waist to test it, then patted her rear, making a few slapping sounds, leaving her handprint on her pale, pert buttocks.
"My body is as normal as it can be." Aoko, having moved her whole body, declared. Besides the fatigue of just waking up, her body was even stronger than usual, as healthy as it could be.
This further confirmed the 'fact' that her previous experience was a nightmare. But she had a nagging feeling that something was wrong.
"Having dream, and for it to be a nightmare—about my sister, no less—then to be jolted awake so early... what a pain."
Aoko pursed her lips, her face twisting with clear disgust.
"To be able to feast my eyes so early in the morning, I don't think it's pain at all," a low voice reached her mind.
It was the voice of the 'pervert' True Magic User from the Tohno mansion on the opposite mountain, a voice she had become exceptionally familiar with these past few days.
Instinctively, Aoko threw a magic bullet in the direction of the voice.
After firing the magic bullet, Aoko scrambled to sit up, frantically pulling the bedsheet, covering her body tightly, not revealing a single inch of skin.
At the same time, she carefully leaned her back against the wooden headboard, her whole body curled into a ball, and with a fierce expression, she glared at Haru, who was sitting on a wooden chair, his legs crossed.
The cold touch of the headboard was transmitted to her brain through her spinal nerves, making her mind even clearer. She finally remembered that she didn't have the 'bad' habit of sleeping naked.
Haru gently lifted his right hand, and with a pinch of his index finger and thumb, he crushed the incoming magic bullet. He narrowed his dead-fish eyes and, looking at the extremely wary Aoko before him, said, his tone unfriendly, "Miss Aozaki, is this how you treat your savior?"
"Before you say that, try to hide that wicked smile in your eyes. And you're the one who took off my clothes again, right!!!!" Aoko glared at Haru with frustration, one hand holding the bedsheet, the other raised high, a huge magic bullet in it.
The reason she said 'again' was because Haru had stripped her naked once before. Though that time, under the effect of the contract, she had undressed herself, it was clear that she had put the blame on him.
The thought of her series of body-checking actions being seen by Haru made her teeth itch. She desperately wanted to bite this perverted True Magic User to death.
Aoko didn't think for a moment that Haru hadn't noticed she was awake. He must have been using magic to hide himself, deliberately not making a sound, just to watch her make a fool of herself. Such a cruel act... it was unbearable.
The magic bullet in Aoko's hand swelled, and with her fierce eyes, her expression became extremely ferocious.
"Your whole body was burned by Touko's 'fire' rune. Do you think your clothes could have survived?" Haru, sitting on the chair, looked at Aoko with a surprised expression, as if looking at some strange creature.
Aoko froze, her face flushing slightly. Then, with a fierce expression, she glared at him and shouted, trying to overpower him with her voice, "The clothes don't matter! What matters is that you pervert peeked at me again!!!"
"To look openly, is that considered peeking? If you have the ability, you should have detected my concealment spell beforehand," Haru said with a disdainful purse of his lips, his arms crossed before his chest, his face filled with a mocking expression.
"What kind of logic is that? You said yourself you used a concealment spell to peek at me, and you still call it looking openly?" Aoko's lip twitched. She stared, dumbfounded, at Haru. She had never seen such a shameless person.
"That's not important. What's important is the medical fee for treating you this time. Since we're acquaintances, I'll give you a discount of three million yen," Haru said, shaking his leg, a 'you're getting a great deal' look on his face.
"Put it on my tab," Aoko said cheerfully. She knew that with her injuries, which were basically fatal last night, to be able to recover so completely in one day, this price was a bargain. So, she agreed readily.
But Haru could see from her wicked smile that she probably had no intention of paying this time's medical fee, or even her previous debts.
After all, even if the contract could force repayment, as long as she didn't have any banknotes, which represented the concept of 'money,' she could still default.
It was clear that Miss Aoko had found a way to default.
Just as Haru was about to say something, a soft knock sounded at the door.
