Looking down at Shiina Mahiru, who was limp in his arms, unwilling to move, her eyes seemingly vacant and her mind empty, a flash of pity crossed Lin Mu's eyes.
Each familiar, based on the characteristics of their heart and soul, granted him, the demon, a different ability.
The Super-Recovery ability was a representation of Shiina Mahiru's inner gentleness; she was a girl truly like an angel.
And yet, without even telling her his name, he had taken advantage of her emotional vulnerability and made her his.
He really was a demon.
But why did it feel so good?
Lin Mu pleasantly stroked Shiina Mahiru's damp, golden hair and carried her into the bathroom.
After they both had a bath, he carried her back to the bed.
He had already changed the sheets, making the bed much more comfortable to lie on.
Aside from a brief period where her cheeks were red, Shiina Mahiru remained silent, quietly leaning against his chest.
She let him hold her.
The sound of even breathing filled the air. Overly exhausted, she had actually fallen asleep.
Lin Mu, on the other hand, began to recall the anime he had watched—specifically, the information about Shiina Mahiru.
Shiina Mahiru was from the anime The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten.
Her father, Shiina Asahi, and her mother, Shiina Sayo, were forced into a marriage for the sake of their families' interests. She was born from a single chaotic night between them.
From a young age, the two people she called parents paid her no mind, leaving her in the care of their maid, Auntie Koyuki.
Since childhood, Shiina Mahiru deliberately presented herself as a gentle, well-behaved, and virtuous "angel," working hard to excel in many areas, but she was still unable to bridge the gap between her parents.
The reason she was sitting in the rain in despair was that she had just learned the truth from her mother—that she was an unwanted child.
No matter how outstandingly she performed, those two people she called parents would never spare her a second glance, let alone come home to eat with her.
Because she was the scar of her parents' relationship, seeing her would only tear open the wound. Therefore, her parents would never give her the love and care a family should.
One has to understand, from birth until now in high school, she had always believed it was because she wasn't good enough, which was why she tried so hard.
But to suddenly learn the truth, to know that all her years of effort had been in vain, the young girl's heart instantly shattered.
And so, she sat alone on the swing in despair, letting the rain pour down on her.
In the end, he, Lin Mu, was the one who got to pick up the prize!
Having figured out the reason for Shiina Mahiru's despair, Lin Mu instantly felt a sense of confidence.
To put it bluntly, the girl was only like this because she lacked love and care.
In that case, he, Lin Mu, would take care of her from now on.
She was already his familiar. As a demon, Lin Mu naturally didn't want to lose her.
Stroking Shiina Mahiru's soft, golden hair once more, Lin Mu pulled the covers over them and fell asleep holding her.
Everything else could wait until tomorrow. For now, it was best to get some rest.
...…
The next day, early in the morning.
Shiina Mahiru groggily opened her eyes.
"Hiss… it hurts!"
A numb ache spread from the lower half of her body, causing the girl to frown subconsciously.
She sat up, only to see the man sleeping soundly while holding her.
He was quite handsome, a black-haired dreamboat.
But the problem was…
Last night, she and him… did that?
Scene after scene of shameful images flashed from the depths of her mind, making Shiina Mahiru's head buzz.
It was true she had been in despair last night, but after a night's sleep, she had sobered up.
In its place was endless regret.
Her eyes gradually welled up. Sadness, grief, and a sense of being wronged all balled up together at that moment, causing tears to fall uncontrollably.
How could she have so casually given her body away?
Just as she was wallowing in sorrow.
Lin Mu opened his eyes, pulled her up, and pressed her back down onto the bed.
He swiftly lowered his head and kissed her red lips.
The consequence of the forceful kiss was a sharp bite from an angry Shiina Mahiru.
The metallic taste of blood in his mouth represented the girl's fury.
But Lin Mu didn't mind in the slightest. Enduring the pain, he continued to hold her tightly and deepen the kiss.
So what if my tongue and lips get injured? I can recover even if my head gets cut off.
Since I can't die, I'll just focus on transmitting my passion to her first.
Seeing that he still wouldn't let go, Shiina Mahiru began to panic.
But amidst her panic, a strange feeling arose from the bottom of her heart. Her body went soft, and she slowly closed her beautiful eyes.
While letting tears slide down her cheeks, she tacitly accepted his actions.
He's already had his way with me, anyway.
Is there really a difference between once and twice?
Shiina Mahiru's small, pale hands gripped the bedsheets tightly. I'll just pretend I was bitten by a dog.
A long time later.
The morning exercise was over.
Lin Mu gently stroked the golden hair of the girl in his arms and spoke softly.
"My name is Lin Mu, a first-year student at Seiho Imperial Academy. What about you?"
"..."
Shiina Mahiru glanced at him but didn't answer.
"Speak. If you don't, I'll kiss you!"
As soon as he said that, Shiina Mahiru's face flushed red, and she couldn't help but glare at him in shame and anger.
"How could you not know my name? I'm also in Class 1-B! What are you pretending for? You perverted, opportunistic man!"
Lin Mu, however, replied with a completely straight face, "I really don't know. I was hit by a car on the first day of school and just got discharged from the hospital today."
This was also the event that made him realize he had reincarnated. He had awakened his memories as a transmigrator from a past life, along with the Demon Development System.
Hearing this, Shiina Mahiru looked at him, somewhat stunned.
"You're that unlucky bastard the students were talking about, the one who got hit by a car on the first day?"
Lin Mu's mouth twitched. "Yeah, I'm pretty unlucky."
"But, on the contrary, I feel like my luck is pretty good right now..."
As he spoke, he tightened his arm around her slender waist, letting her feel his body heat.
Shiina Mahiru's cheeks burned. She quickly put her hands on his chest to push him away, looking at him with a wronged expression.
"Don't… not again… I'm sore…"
Lin Mu gave a wicked smile and leaned down to peck her on the lips. "Relax, I won't bully you anymore."
"Speaking of which, what a coincidence. We're actually in the same class."
Shiina Mahiru stared at him blankly for a moment, then turned her head away and ignored him.
Lin Mu knew that everything had happened too fast for her to accept, so he leaned in close to her ear.
"I'll take responsibility."
Shiina Mahiru, however, pinched his arm hard and glared at him fiercely.
"In your dreams! Are you thinking of continuing to bully me? I'm not that stupid!"
Lin Mu's eyes widened. "Does that mean I don't have to take responsibility?"
"Hmph, you don't! Just don't come looking for me in the future. I'm begging you to forget what happened just now and yesterday."
With that, Shiina Mahiru pushed him away, sat up, and began to look for her clothes.
When she saw her black stockings, crumpled and tossed by the bed, her face turned red as she cursed him internally.
Does he think stockings are free?
To rip them like this, he really is a pervert!
Quickly putting on her underwear and slipping on her school uniform and skirt, Shiina Mahiru stumbled out of his room on unsteady feet and ran back to her own apartment next door.
She went into her bathroom and, while tears streamed down her face, began to wash her pale body, her heart filled with confusion.
As a demon, Lin Mu could perceive the state of his familiars. Using his demonic authority, he watched her cry, and his heart ached.
But what was done was done. There was no use in regretting it.
Besides, even if he could do it all over again, he would still choose to make a move on her.
With such a good girl, you have to act immediately. Otherwise, if she was charmed by someone else, you'd be left playing the role of the homewrecker trying to steal another man's girl.
For now, all he could do was find a way to warm her heart as much as possible and get her to gradually accept his existence.
Besides, the situation wasn't that bad. He and Shiina Mahiru had an excellent starting point.
They had already achieved the most intimate relationship possible. Little Angel Shiina... is truly future wife material.
