Mayumi and Mari sat in silence, their eyes glued to the surveillance footage showing the intense clash between Tatsuya and Mikihiko.
"So, what do you think?" Mayumi asked, breaking the silence.
Mari took a slow, deep breath before answering with a heavy, serious tone. "Mikihiko has become too strong. Honestly... he might even be able to take me down."
Mayumi nodded in grim agreement. Her crimson eyes remained fixed on the monitor as she murmured under her breath, "Do you think this change is linked to the Black Mist incident?"
"Most likely," Mari replied.
Even though Mayumi had spoken softly, Mari had caught every word.
"If the Ten Master Clans find out about this, it'll cause a complete uproar."
Mari nodded again, the weight of the situation sinking in.
"Mari... we didn't see anything today, right?"
"...Yeah."
With a final nod, Mayumi reached out and clicked the monitor off.
The two of them packed their things and headed home together, leaving the dark room behind.
"Honami, why are you so... skilled at this?"
Gulp... Gulp... Gulp...
Honami let out a satisfied smile after swallowing the thick, white liquid that had filled her mouth.
"It is all for the sake of satisfying you, Tatsuya-sama."
"...Thank you. You've certainly satisfied me."
"Hehe..." Honami couldn't help the giddy smile that spread across her beautiful face.
Suddenly, Tatsuya's eyes narrowed.
"Tatsuya-sama?" Honami asked, noticing the shift in his mood.
"Honami, you should leave. Now."
"Why?"
"Miyuki is on her way here."
"Ah...!" A flash of pure panic crossed Honami's face.
"Hurry!"
"Yes!"
Honami scrambled, rushing out of Tatsuya's room as fast as she could.
Only a few seconds after she vanished, a soft knock came from the door.
"Onii-sama, it's Miyuki."
"Come in."
"Excuse me."
The moment she stepped into the room, Miyuki's nose twitched. A strange, unfamiliar scent caught her attention, sparking an immediate curiosity.
"Onii-sama... what is that smell?"
Tatsuya felt a cold sweat break out. He had completely forgotten about the lingering scent.
"Ahem! I was just exercising. Maybe it's just sweat?"
Miyuki narrowed her beautiful eyes, her expression thick with disbelief.
"Believe it or not, Onii-sama's sweat actually smells wonderful. This... this is definitely not the scent of your sweat."
"Ahem! Miyuki... how exactly do you know what my sweat smells like?"
Miyuki froze. In an instant, her face turned as red as a ripe apple.
"That's because... I... I just..."
Seeing her flustered and struggling to find an answer, Tatsuya decided to stop pressing her.
"Forget I asked. We're always together anyway, so it's only natural you'd know." Tatsuya gave her a gentle, affectionate smile.
Miyuki's heart melted instantly, like a block of ice dropped into magma.
She couldn't contain the joy bubbling up inside her, and it radiated clearly across her face.
"Cute..." The word slipped out of Tatsuya's mouth before he could stop it.
Miyuki's blush deepened even further.
"Ahem! Anyway, did you need something?" Tatsuya asked, trying to steer the conversation back.
Miyuki shook her head vigorously, as if trying to shake off her embarrassment.
"Well... the thing is..."
Seeing her hesitate, Tatsuya waited patiently.
"Onii-sama... if it's alright... Miyuki would like to sleep here tonight."
"Again?"
Miyuki blinked, her eyes turning watery and upturned, looking as if she might burst into tears if he said no.
Tatsuya was completely defenseless against that look. He sighed inwardly and gave in.
"Fine. But don't overdo it."
"Yes! Onii-sama!"
The next morning, Tatsuya woke up to find himself wrapped in Miyuki's slender arms.
She was still fast asleep, her face resting right next to his. Tatsuya didn't have the heart to wake her up; she looked too peaceful.
"Hmm... Onii-sama..." Even in her sleep, she called out his name with pure affection.
Tatsuya turned his head to look at her. Their noses were so close they were almost touching.
Miyuki's eyelids fluttered a few times before slowly opening.
The moment she saw Tatsuya, she didn't say a word. Instead, she pouted her lips slightly and closed her eyes again.
At first, Tatsuya was confused, but as his gaze fell on her shimmering, pink lips, a bold thought took hold of him.
Without hesitation, he leaned in and pressed his lips against hers.
They felt warm, soft, and sweet. Simply touching lips wasn't enough for him; he began to use his tongue, his hands wandering instinctively over her body.
When Tatsuya's hand reached her backside, Miyuki's body gave a violent shudder of pure ecstasy. The moment she had waited so long for—to finally share this kind of intimacy with the one she adored—was finally happening. Who could blame her for being overwhelmed?
The two of them began to push further, their bodies pressed tightly together as the kiss deepened.
Just as Tatsuya was about to start removing her clothes, the door swung open. Honami walked in, holding a large tablet.
"My, my~ getting so heated up so early in the morning? That's not very good, especially since you're both still students~."
The voice of Maya Yotsuba boomed like thunder in their ears.
In a heartbeat, the two of them scrambled apart, sitting bolt upright on the bed in a perfect, stiff posture.
Tatsuya looked hesitantly at the tablet screen in Honami's hand. Maya's smiling face filled the display—she looked incredibly beautiful, and absolutely terrifying.
