Chapter 161

"The watermelon is here, in this spot."

Satania stood to the left of Kitakami Yoru, holding the watermelon in her arms, and shouted loudly.

Hearing the sound, Kitakami Yoru tried his best to perceive the source, discerned the direction, and walked toward the right.

After a few steps, he tentatively swung the stick gently toward the ground.

The sand splashed, making two dull thuds.

"Not here?"

"Satania-san is giving me a hint."

Kitakami Yoru changed direction, aiming exactly at Satania.

"That's right, it's right here."

Satania nodded with a mischievous smile, revealing her small fangs.

Off to the side, Vignette and Kato Megumi watched quietly without a word.

Kitakami Yoru suddenly stepped forward with a long stride.

He wanted to ensure he was walking in a straight line, and the facts proved he succeeded.

There was still some distance between him and Satania, who was holding the watermelon.

"Right, right, the watermelon is right in front of you."

Satania seemed very happy, nodding repeatedly.

After saying that, she held the watermelon and, far from moving away,

instead leaned closer to Kitakami Yoru, standing beside him mockingly and constantly winking.

If Kitakami Yoru could see, he certainly wouldn't think Satania was mocking him; instead, he would find her even cuter as she made faces.

Satania had a petite figure, but unlike Eriri's thinness, only her bottom was fleshy.

On the contrary, Satania's whole body was full of fleshiness.

At this moment, Kitakami Yoru swung the stick again, hitting the front, but still missed the watermelon.

"Wrong, wrong, a little bit more forward."

Satania's voice rang out, close at hand.

Kitakami Yoru's ears twitched as he tried hard to find the source of the sound and followed the instructions to take a step forward.

When a person is blindfolded, it is very difficult to distinguish the direction of a sound's source.

Unless that sound is truly very, very loud.

Tentatively swinging the stick a few times, Kitakami Yoru was like a headless fly, failing to find the target.

"Here!"

"To the left!"

Satania stood to the front-left of Kitakami Yoru, stifling a laugh, and continued to speak.

Just at this sentence, Kitakami Yoru decisively raised the wooden stick and smashed it down hard.

Left and right are opposites.

Satania's left was Kitakami Yoru's right.

Besides, everyone knows that when playing the watermelon-smashing game, being blindfolded and holding a wooden stick carries a certain amount of danger.

Therefore, no one would get close to the watermelon.

No one was like Satania, holding the watermelon and actively leaning in to Kitakami Yoru's side to give verbal hints.

Whoosh—

Down went the stick.

Although Kitakami Yoru didn't use much force, it wasn't light either, and it smashed hard onto the head of Satania, who hadn't had time to react!

"Ah!"

Satania's smile froze instantly, her hands loosened, the watermelon rolled onto the ground, and she squatted down, clutching her head in pain.

Realizing something was wrong, Kitakami Yoru quickly took off his blindfold.

Vignette and Kato Megumi hurried over to check on Satania's injuries.

"So unlucky~"

Tears slid from the corners of Satania's eyes from the pain.

"Satania-san, did I hit you?"

Kitakami Yoru was shocked.

"Are you okay?" Vignette came up to show concern.

"It just hurts!"

Satania sat down on the ground.

"You deserved it."

Vignette looked at Kitakami Yoru, somewhat speechless, and explained what had happened.

Satania was fine; after all, she was a demon.

But she was injured nonetheless.

The subsequent activities were naturally canceled, and they returned to the hotel together.

Unexpectedly, they were staying at the same hotel.

Since Satania had brought this on herself and had a large bump on her head, Kitakami Yoru felt a bit guilty and kept her company.

That night, they didn't go out to play.

The four of them watched movies in the hotel's cinema to kill time.

It wasn't until noon the next day that they returned to Tokyo together.

On the way, Kitakami Yoru received another message from his dad urging him to get a physical exam.

School started the day after tomorrow, so he booked the exam for tomorrow afternoon.

"Summer vacation, and I still haven't finished losing weight..."

As summer vacation truly passed and school began, Kitakami Yoru pinched his own face.

15: School starts, picking up Sakurajima Mai

Returned to Tokyo.

"Then goodbye, Kitakami-kun, Kato-senpai."

Vignette politely waved goodbye to the two of them.

"Goodbye."

Kitakami Yoru and Kato Megumi waved back together.

"Tch..."

Satania crossed her arms, rubbed the bump on her head that hadn't completely subsided, and looked disdainful.

As a dignified, great demon and future ruler of the Hell world, she had actually fallen at the feet of a mere human.

Satania was very unconvinced.

"Satania-san, I didn't do it on purpose, and besides..."

"You were the one who wanted to prank me, right?"

Seeing this, Kitakami Yoru spread his hands, not angry.

Satania felt in her heart that Kitakami Yoru's words made sense, and she nodded subconsciously.

After nodding, she realized something was wrong and quickly added, "Hmph, I won't let you off, Kitakami Yoru."

"See you later."

Kitakami Yoru smiled, ignored Satania's protest—though she was quite cute—and left with Kato Megumi.

"Alright, Satania, let's go too."

Vignette pulled Satania.

"One day, I will make him kneel down and lick my feet..."

Satania puffed out her cheeks, looking unwillingly at Kitakami Yoru's back.

If she had just asked Kitakami Yoru directly, it might have been realized long ago.

Kitakami Yoru and Kato Megumi were in no rush to go back; they strolled around outside for a while longer and didn't part ways until around noon.

Sitting on the train home, Kitakami Yoru received a message from Gabriel.
