Last date: Jan 2]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinobu was exactly where I expected her to be—inside her laboratory, surrounded by neatly arranged vials, dried herbs, and the faint scent of something medicinal. The soft glow of a lantern illuminated the room, casting flickering shadows on the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t acknowledge me immediately. Her delicate hands worked with precision as she measured out a glowing liquid into a small glass flask. But I knew she had sensed me the moment I entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it, Alex?\" she asked, her voice calm and even, but I caught the subtle shift in her shoulders—stiffness that hadn’t been there before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I leaned against the doorframe, watching her. \"I’m leaving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She finally looked up, her deep violet eyes locking onto mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leaving?\" she repeated, setting the flask down with deliberate care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded, a small smirk playing on my lips. \"Yeah. My time here is almost done. I’m going to the next world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a split second, something flickered in her eyes—surprise, hesitation, maybe even something deeper. But she quickly buried it behind her usual composed demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinobu stood up from her seat and walked toward me, crossing her arms over her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" she asked, her voice quieter this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I said nothing at first; I just looked at her, letting the silence settle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers twitched slightly against her arms. \"But what about your promise to help me defeat Doma?\" she asked, her voice sharper now, laced with something she wouldn’t admit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I chuckled. \"You sound so betrayed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She frowned. \"Iambetrayed. You made a promise, Alex.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed dramatically, tilting my head. \"True, true, but you’re acting like I’m abandoning you forever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinobu narrowed her eyes. \"Aren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stepped closer. \"Not quite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She blinked. \"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I leaned down slightly, my voice dropping to a whisper. \"I made a permanent portal to this world. I can come back whenever I want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breath hitched just a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, understanding settled on her face, followed immediately by something else—annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"YouknewI’d misunderstand, didn’t you?\" she said flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I grinned. \"Maybe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She huffed, turning away. \"You’re insufferable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I laughed. \"But I did defeat two Upper Moons, and I helped Uzui rescue his wives from another one. That’s worth something, don’t you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinobu exhaled, rubbing her temples. \"Yes, yes. You’re very strong. Do you want a medal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not quite,\" I said smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned back to me, raising an eyebrow. \"Then what do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took another step forward, closing the distance between us. She didn’t move away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You already know,\" I murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breath hitched slightly, but she quickly masked it with a skeptical look. \"Oh? Do I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I reached out, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear before trailing my fingers down to her throat, feeling the rapid pulse beneath her soft skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t stop me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could have—she could have stepped back, deflected, and turned this into a joke like she usually did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about your promise to me?\" She whispered, her voice softer than before. It wasn’t just a reminder anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes searched mine, and for the first time, she wasn’t hiding behind her usual teasing smirk or composed mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>May it be because of the talk she had with Akeno, or because I told her I was leaving, or maybe a bit of both—something had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We were close, close enough that our breaths synchronized. If I pushed just a little more, I knew what would happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could take her right now, claim her, and she wouldn’t stop me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I took her now, she’d be mine in body but not in heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I didn’t want that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let my hand drop from her throat, my fingers barely grazing her collarbone as I pulled away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinobu’s expression didn’t change immediately, but there was a brief flash of something in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confusion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relief?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gave her a small, knowing smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Shinobu,\" I said slowly. \"If Doma dies, then you won’t mind if I make a move on you, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips parted slightly, but no words came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, I do understand why she doesn’t want to pursue her love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was afraid that if she gave herself to me now, she would forget.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget the pain. Forget the hatred. Forget the grief of losing her sister to Doma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if she forgot, she would have nothing left to hold onto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I smiled, stepping back entirely, giving her space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let’s finish my promise; after that, I will make you mine.\" I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Greater Teleportation] I cast as both Shinobu and I disappeared from her laboratory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(This volume has already over in my Patreon.
