Chapter 769

~7 min read 1,327 words

Does she have a habit of buying body pillows? So... Brother Luo Shu?!!!

In the gaze of the stiffened young lady.

From under the quilt, the "body pillow" poked out a ghostly head, a pair of starry eyes shining in the darkness, and those lips let out a devilish whisper.

"Yukino... kawaii koto~~ (How truly cute~~)."

Silence.

For a long time.

The young lady's face turned beet red, filled with shame and indignation.

But the next moment, thinking of something, she lowered her face, her ghostly voice sounding as if it were drifting out from the Underworld: "Brother Luo Shu~~, I wasn't talking to myself just now, was I~~?"

The young man, who had just been preparing to tease her, paused, silently wanting to retract his head.

Suddenly.

A slender, skull-crushing iron hand grabbed his crown, and a voice from hell rang in his ears: "Speak~~."

"Little Yukino, calm down, you must calm down. Your husband's life is in your palm, you absolutely must calm down."

Yukinoshita's gaze was ghostly: "Oh, and so?"

Brother Luo Shu gave a hearty laugh and raised his thumb: "Yukino whispering like a girl in the throes of spring, super awesome!!"

Meow————!!

As if a cat had its fur standing on end, the young lady's whole body erupted with fine, dense arcs of electricity, so ashamed and indignant that her gaze went hollow.

…….

"So, why did you come to my bed? You would have gone back by this time in the past, right?"

In the room that had seemed a bit more girlish in recent years.

Yukinoshita parted her crimson lips and teeth, calmly taking a sip of plain water.

"Hahaha, didn't I feel like I'd been neglecting little Yukino lately, and was worried she might be a bit lonely? So I talked to Kaguya for a bit, and I'll accompany you tomorrow too."

On the large bed.

Brother Luo Shu, with a few tooth marks on his face, sat upright, looking serious.

"Hm?"

Yukinoshita frowned: "Since I agreed to her division of time, I will not break my promise, and I certainly won't use cheating methods to snatch the spoils..."

"That..."

The young man raised his hand, saying weakly: "... I am a human, after all~."

"Greedy Brother Luo Shu, shut up."

"Hai!"

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned, deep in thought.

Would that woman, who had such extreme possessiveness and wished she could kill them all, be that generous?

Heh~

Unless the Earth exploded, the galaxy burned to ash, and the universe restarted...

So...

The young lady narrowed her eyes suspiciously, sizing up Brother Luo Shu sitting before her.

It was clear he had also just bathed; most transcendentals kept up good daily habits now. Beneath his tousled hair, his clean cheeks were clearly groomed, and beneath his open bathrobe, his muscles were quite well-proportioned...

Come to think of it, they had been together for two years now; it seemed Brother Luo Shu's physique was getting better and better, and he was taller too...

Hmm, two years for a normal couple, and the child might already be a year old.

She was still a bit... about what was normal for her peers nowadays.

Yukinoshita Yukino's beautiful, large eyes suddenly widened, and she instinctively shrank back a step, lifting her slender shoulders to protect her meager little chest.

Her voice stuttered: "Y-y-you... you wouldn't be........"

"... No, that kind of thing has to be at least after marriage... no matter how... I haven't bought..."

As if deep in the shadows, the young man straightened up like a Great Demon King, letting out a devilish voice: "Hehehe, since little Yukino has already figured it out, I don't need to pretend anymore... As for the little raincoat? Hmph, is magecraft such an inconvenient thing?"

The young lady, who was always calm and wise, like a proud plum blossom in the snow on a high mountain, thought of something, her face turning as crimson as blood, and she moved her little bottom back to the head of the bed as if shocked by electricity.

Flustered, shy, nervous, bewildered... finally, she watched in terror as the young man stood up, his body casting a shadow like a towering mountain, enveloping her weak self.

"Yo, Yukino, interested in challenging your own physiological limits?"

Yukinoshita Yukino gave up on thinking.

………

Early morning.

The warm sunlight cast down, allowing the young lady snuggled in the room to lazily stretch out her slender, lotus-root-like arms to check her phone.

Then she rubbed her eyes, instantly waking up.

"Eight o'clock?"

Her ten-year habit of waking up at six sharp every day and going for a morning run at six-thirty had been broken.

Suddenly.

As she tried to get out of bed on tiptoe, she met a pair of deep eyes.

"Yo, good morning, Xue Diudiu."

Hmm, it definitely referred to "diu" as in shameful.

Yukino trembled all over, her movements becoming even faster.

The young man stroked his chin: "Then Xue Doudou?"

A pillow was thrown at him, welcoming a physical mouth-covering.

(I'm really not good at emotional scenes, it's about enough here. Harem novels are hard to write; I originally just wanted to date more anime girls, but my brain was like: The idea is great, but you tell me how to write it?)

421. Honkai: Star Rail? The superiority of the modern system!

Watching the young lady leave with quickened steps.

The young man behind her stroked his chin.

Sure enough, staining a dignified, serious, beautiful young lady with one's own colors, that feeling is simply addictive.

……..

Paris.

Secret venue of the World United Summit.

The atmosphere was abnormally heavy.

Spencer rubbed his bloodshot eyes, fiercely finished the last drag of his cigarette, and then crushed it out in the already overflowing ashtray.

In the past, if he smoked cigars like this, his personal health consultant would have resigned on the spot, cursing and smashing the door on the way out.

But now.......

With a bit of magecraft to clear his lungs and feeling a wave of refreshment, Spencer barely managed to open his bloodshot eyes to look around.

The Spanish representative hesitated and asked, "Has the identity of the mage who descended into the world yesterday been confirmed? Are they friend or foe?"

Under that gaze, the world's high-level officials were scared out of their wits.

Because no one else knew.

They each had their own connections, and they knew clearly that it was an entirely unfamiliar aura.

In other words, another titan had descended, one capable of wiping them all out with a single glance.

Spencer said wearily, "How can we confirm? Should we ask the giant dragon to explain to the ants? But rest assured, such an existence is already beyond our scope of response. Since that person hasn't reacted, that is good news."

Humanity is still in its cradle.

You can't expect an infant that can only crawl on the ground to fight a dragon-kin, can you?

"Let's talk about some more realistic problems."

"After this Sky-Curtain ended, the number of people who gained power from the dream has been tallied. France, Britain, Germany, and other countries have a total of 143,400 people who received the gift.

Among them, basically all have been promoted to C-rank official mages, 1,143 have been promoted to B-rank, and 17 have been promoted to A-rank."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The people in power at the venue, led by more than 40 representatives from various countries, erupted into deafening clamor.

"The total has actually reached 140,000? I thought only my Slovakia had the biggest harvest this time?"

"What does your Slovakia count for? My Greece has two lucky ones who are one step away from A-rank, and in this Sky-Curtain's Fourth Holy Grail War world, they were quite excellent mages, equivalent to the nation-protecting level in reality.

In a few more months, stepping into A+ is certain, and entering Super-A within a year or two is no problem."
