"Say your name?"
To keep her from bothering him while he was busy with the mommy role play with Grayfia, Yusuke had made a deal with her. He would give her a name.
[Yes, you didn't forget your promise, right? I can always gently remind you, y'know,]the system asked darkly. Earlier, she had held herself back many times purely for the sake of this promise. Even now, she still felt genuine pain over all the perfect roasting opportunities she had let slip away.
'I didn't,' Yusuke replied calmly. He absolutely had. He had completely forgotten about his promise. 'It seemed that I promised to stop calling her bitch and give her a proper name instead.'
[Hurry, say my name!] she urged impatiently. She might have denied it back then, but she was genuinely envious of Yubelluna being called so affectionately 'Luna' by Yusuke. She had come long before everyone else, yet this bastard always addressed her as 'bitch' or simply 'you'! It was blatantly unfair.
'…' Yusuke did not reply. The whole incident with Grayfia had twisted his internal rules once again. In the past, his first rule had been to 'never trust a yandere until she became Devoted'. Now that rule had been demoted to second place by a new, more cautious one. 'All women are yanderes until proven otherwise.'
The subtle actions the system had been making recently were far too suspicious. Once again, it forced him to suspect that she really was a freaking yandere.
[Hey, hurry!]
'Alright, I thought of a suitable name for you. How about Chat GPT?' Yusuke pushed his suspicions aside for the moment and answered with perfect calm. This bitch had messed with him countless times. There was no way he was handing her a proper name that easily.
[Are you kidding me? If you don't give me a real name in three seconds, don't ever think of sleeping peacefully again. I'll run the sound of gay sex in your mind twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week!] The system snapped, her originally irritable voice turning noticeably colder.
'I was joking! Joking! Geez, you can't even take a proper joke!' Yusuke's face twisted visibly into disgust. Damn, that threat sounded far more torturous than becoming a human stick!
[Hmph!]
'Sigh! What do you think of B2?' Yusuke let out a tired sigh and continued before she could respond. He quickly added, 'This is the name of the all-purpose battle android, B2. She's quite beautiful and charming. Moreover, she has a "great personality," don't you think so?'
Giving her an original name? Absolutely impossible. This bitch had just threatened him. There was no way he would hand her anything genuine.
[B2? What do you mean by "great personality"? She isn't that thick at all!] The system pondered his words. She knew exactly what he meant by "great personality." He was obviously talking about her ass.
'Yeah, her ass isn't thick, but it's great! It has this strange, mysterious charm despite not being very thick!' Yusuke answered her with exaggerated patience.
If you asked anyone what the most memorable thing about B2 was, half of them would immediately mention her blindfold that completely obscured her eyes. The other half would blurt out her freaking ass without hesitation. That squishy-looking, round, and impossibly soft ass!
[Hmph! Whatever! I shall graciously accept this name for now!] The system, now B2, said with a haughty, arrogant tone.
"Stop with the tsundere act. It's disgusting," Yusuke rolled his eyes. This bitch had been hounding him nonstop to give her a name, and now she was suddenly acting like she was doing him some grand favor by backing off.
[Uncultured swine! Tsunderes will always remain one of the best deres. At least they are better than these freaky yanderes, bunch of psychos!] B2 retorted disdainfully. She paused for a moment before adding, [I won't bother you anymore. Deal with that freaky milf yourself.]
'She's bashing yanderes as if she isn't one of them,' Yusuke thought silently. Tilting his head to the side, he caught sight of Grayfia approaching with two plates balanced carefully in both hands. Her face was slightly flushed, radiating happiness and satisfaction from every pore of her body. That creepy smile, paired with her glowing crimson irises, made her current mood unmistakably clear.
After all, how could she not be ecstatic? She had finally secured the love of her life… even if she had achieved it through kidnapping. The most important thing was that she now possessed both his body and his heart.
"Sweetie, you expended considerable energy last night. You need to replenish your strength. A long day still lies ahead of us, right~?" Grayfia set the two plates down in front of him with gentle care. It was a traditional Japanese breakfast.
Steamed rice, miso soup, grilled fish, pickled vegetables, and natto.
"Thanks," Yusuke picked up the chopsticks and stared at the food arranged neatly before him. He took a bite, and his eyes brightened slightly. The food was unexpectedly delicious.
"Thanks what?" Grayfia walked around the counter and stepped behind him. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders in a gentle hug from behind, her large, round breasts pressing softly against the back of his head. She whispered the question right next to his ear, her voice warm and coaxing.
She had spent literal centuries acting as a maid ever since she married Sirzechs. She was the ultimate housewife, the ultimate assistant, and the ultimate manager all rolled into one. She was the dream wife for any man who ever dared to dream of such perfection.
Whether it was raising children, handling every household chore with flawless efficiency, managing a sprawling business empire, orchestrating political factions, or even commanding armies, she could do it all simultaneously without ever breaking a sweat.
"…Thanks, mommy," Yusuke's chewing motions slowed to a complete stop before he finally forced the words out.
[Good boy.]
"Good boy," both B2 and Grayfia said at the exact same moment. The difference was clear. The former spoke with pure sarcasm, while Grayfia leaned in and pressed a tender, affectionate kiss to his cheek, her lips lingering for a moment longer.
[Grayfia Lucifuge's submission + 1!]
It seemed that his act of being mommy's good boy was effective against her and slowly lowered her bottom line. The more that the bottom line dropped, the higher her submission value rose. But at the end of the day, this only went as far as he remained obedient and did not mention any other woman or even try to interact with other women.
If he tried to escape, her submission value would probably fall down drastically.
"Do you want mommy to feed you?" Grayfia leaned in closer, giving his ear a slow lick. Her warm breath landed hotly across the skin of his neck. Even though the two of them had been fucking nonstop until the early hours of the morning, she showed no sign of exhaustion. On the contrary, simply holding him like this, pressed so tightly against her body, sent fresh waves of heat surging through her lower body. She could never grow tired of this intoxicating closeness.
[Be a good boy and let your mommy feed you.] B2 commented sarcastically.
"…" Yusuke ignored B2's sarcastic remark entirely. Instead, he turned around, catching Grayfia completely by surprise. He wrapped his arms around her waist and gently guided her down onto his lap. Holding her close against his chest, he leaned in until his lips brushed her ear and whispered softly, "You've been taking such good care of me. How about I feed you instead?"
"Oh, my sweetheart, you are so thoughtful, so sweet and charming~!" Grayfia shivered visibly in his arms, pure happiness blooming warmly in her chest like a flower finally kissed by sunlight.
She melted against him, resting her head on his shoulder as she watched him carefully pick up a piece of tender grilled fish with his chopsticks. He brought it to her lips with the gentlest touch, his eyes locked on hers with such focused tenderness that she could see nothing but her own reflection in them.
It was as if she were the only thing that existed in his entire world right now, and that single realization sent her heart fluttering wildly, pounding so fiercely she felt it might burst from her ribcage at any second.
...
At the same time, inside Yusuke's house, Raynare, Kalawarna, Yubelluna, Irina, Xenovia, and Asia had all gathered.
The first to learn of Yusuke's kidnapping were Raynare, Kalawarna, and Yubelluna. The three of them lived together and had spent the past few days constantly in each other's company, slowly growing accustomed to one another.
By contrast, Asia had recently become far too close to Irina and Xenovia. She had taken to visiting their house more frequently.
She tried to subtly incite them and manipulate them for her own use. Perhaps she could use them to get Yusuke back.
After receiving contact from Sona, Raynare agreed to mobilize the handful of remaining human subordinates she still regarded as useless trash. She ordered them to begin searching for Yusuke, together with Kalawarna and Yubelluna.
To cover as much ground as possible, she contacted the church trio as well and asked them to lend a helping hand.
"Yu... Yu is gone! How... how could this?!"
"Darling! My darling is in danger?"
The two church girls' reaction was the same as any other yandere. They both turned pale as paper, trembling like leaves in a storm, their eyes losing light. However, the more they whispered, the creepier their obsessiveness became, especially when they both muttered at the same moment, "My God is in danger... I have to save him..."
However, the one who reacted the most intensely was the hidden yandere, Asia.
"Yusuke-sama was kidnapped?" Asia's vacant, hollow eyes stared ahead in no particular direction. No. She was staring at Yubelluna. She muttered, "It's the Devils' fault! They took him from me! They tricked Yusuke-sama! I know it! I know it." The more she spoke, the colder her voice became.
She always believed that other women were tricking Yusuke and deceiving him, that only she was worthy of his love and attention. Asia worked hard to hide her obsessive feelings from everyone else, and this placed immense pressure on her mental state.
Smiling at those disgusting women, the ones she could not wait to crush the bones of and rip their heads from their unnecessarily obscene bodies, was more than enough to make her want to throw her guts up.
Someone who once could not bring herself to manipulate or lie had become disturbingly proficient at both. For months now, the only thoughts occupying her mind, apart from Yusuke himself, were the countless ways she could eliminate the repulsive women who dared to surround him.
Every day, whenever Yusuke smiled at her or spoke gentle words to her, a powerful surge of happiness flooded through her entire being. It convinced her that progress was being made, even if only in tiny increments.
BOOMM!!
Without warning, a thick pillar of purple fire erupted around Asia's body and roared straight upward. It smashed through eight floors of the building and continued climbing until it finally tore through the clouds above. The blazing violet column became visible to everyone across Kuoh Town and far beyond.
