Saturday.128Please respect copyright.PENANAItY573TEkB
It was just past six in the morning. The first rays of dawn had only begun to spill across the rooftops of the quiet neighborhood, washing the city in faint gold. Birds were beginning to chirp softly in the distance, the breeze carried a faint chill, and the streets were still wrapped in the dreamy calm of early morning.128Please respect copyright.PENANApHGLmcEYqq
Then—ding-dong!128Please respect copyright.PENANADTkliT7aIx
A sharp, crisp doorbell shattered the peace.128Please respect copyright.PENANAJu13WxbN7B
Kouya’s eyes snapped open. For a second, he wasn’t sure if he’d dreamed it. But the sound came again, ringing clearly through the thin apartment walls. It was sharp enough to feel like an alarm bell in the stillness of dawn.128Please respect copyright.PENANA1sHztpKqqk
And, judging by the direction, it wasn’t his door—it was the one next door.128Please respect copyright.PENANAG8xes39XD1
He groaned. “Vigne?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAaH4sdVXtyx
The rhythm was too familiar. She always pressed the bell twice, paused, then once more—like a polite knock sequence. The last time she came over to check on the Scottish Fold cats, it had sounded exactly like this.128Please respect copyright.PENANAA0anT2878H
But at this hour, there was no way Gabriel would be awake. The lazy angel didn’t even open her eyes before ten on weekends.128Please respect copyright.PENANA16up3snrX0
Sure enough, after two more rings, silence. Then, as expected, a few moments later—128Please respect copyright.PENANAKpWLO7JAR0
Ding-dong. This time from his door.128Please respect copyright.PENANA64O81JZSEI
Kouya sighed, dragging a hand through his messy hair. “It’s way too early for this…” He threw on a loose hoodie, slipped into his slippers, and shuffled toward the door.128Please respect copyright.PENANAfendowk4jT
When he opened it, the sight that greeted him made him blink twice.128Please respect copyright.PENANAnlsgkxI1Id
“Um, I rang Gabi’s bell a few times, but she doesn’t seem awake yet,” Vigne said softly, standing outside with an apologetic smile. Her long purple hair shimmered faintly under the morning light. “Would it be alright if we waited inside for a while? I didn’t want to disturb anyone else.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAlD1te5DFWt
“Good morning, Kouya-kun,” another voice chimed sweetly. That calm, lilting tone could only belong to one person—Raphael, the silver-haired angel who wore the face of serenity but the heart of mischief.128Please respect copyright.PENANA5SD7wElMKv
And just when he thought it couldn’t get worse, a third voice joined in.128Please respect copyright.PENANAB6dMbDZISX
“Hmph! What are you looking at?” the red-haired demon puffed up proudly. “Raphael begged me yesterday, so I, the Great Satania, decided to accompany her! You should be grateful for my divine generosity!”128Please respect copyright.PENANASHHV0fnIxY
Kouya froze, staring blankly at the three of them.128Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z45CfiBQa
Are you kidding me?! You’re all here?!128Please respect copyright.PENANAD4T5OJUCLZ
You said eight o’clock at the amusement park! It’s barely six! What kind of maniacs wake up this early on a Saturday?!128Please respect copyright.PENANA7G1odVmcMB
Vigne tilted her head, smiling like a teacher reminding a lazy student. “Early mornings are good for you, you know. Oversleeping ruins your energy for the day.”128Please respect copyright.PENANASaV6YLQVBN
“Yeah, yeah,” Kouya muttered, stepping aside and gesturing for them to enter. “Come in.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAVJmvj9Ybxq
“Thank you, Kouya-kun.” Vigne’s politeness was flawless as always.128Please respect copyright.PENANAT7ybdELFDM
“Eh?” Satania suddenly looked down at the entryway. “There’s a slipper missing.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAU1xNutclhy
“I live alone,” Kouya said flatly. “Just come in barefoot.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAzJezDD1YIj
“Oh, okay.” Satania obediently started to step in—but Raphael, of course, couldn’t resist.128Please respect copyright.PENANAkt2I6NCEXs
“I’ve heard that boys’ rooms are full of mysterious and scary things,” she said innocently, eyes glinting. “If you walk in barefoot... you might get pregnant.”128Please respect copyright.PENANA2fhvJjI9Ud
“Pff—!”128Please respect copyright.PENANAHiFtawkK4n
Kouya’s jaw dropped. What kind of logic even is that?!128Please respect copyright.PENANA8F2apaHjYq
“W-Wait, seriously?!” Satania gasped, jumping back. “That can happen?!”128Please respect copyright.PENANAJUthHWwpEk
“Raphael, don’t say strange things.” Vigne sighed, handing Satania her own slippers. “And Satania, no, that’s not possible.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9YEUsZ0jy
“But Vigne, you’ll get pregnant too!” Satania cried dramatically.128Please respect copyright.PENANAk7ZzqMs9Rr
Pregnant, my ass!128Please respect copyright.PENANA4MI24Q0Qkh
Kouya pressed a hand over his face. How did this become my morning? “Just... come in already.”128Please respect copyright.PENANArCYjQwE7dn
The three of them entered, their footsteps soft against the floorboards. Satania immediately began snooping around like a detective, poking at bookshelves and peeking into corners.128Please respect copyright.PENANAzy1dyQMG8n
“Hmph,” she said with a smug grin. “I expected a boy’s room to be filthy and chaotic, but this is actually... decent. Of course, it’s nowhere near as magnificent as my royal quarters, but I’ll allow it.”128Please respect copyright.PENANA3dIlIbhC2s
“Maybe,” Raphael said smoothly, tapping her chin, “Kouya-kun cleaned up last night. You know, hiding all the embarrassing things.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAbUYddDRRQ7
Satania blinked. “Embarrassing things?”128Please respect copyright.PENANADTiWV727dc
Raphael smiled sweetly, raising a finger to her lips. “Like... dirty magazines, or adult toys~.”128Please respect copyright.PENANATDmHsps7vj
“D-Dirty magazines?!” Satania’s eyes went wide as her face turned scarlet. “A-Adult toys?! Those exist?!”128Please respect copyright.PENANASzqGUKUmLl
“Raphael!” Vigne scolded, cheeks flushed pink. “Stop saying those things! Kouya-kun isn… isn’t like that!”128Please respect copyright.PENANAvasunRa8JR
That pause—why the hell was there a pause?!128Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ9pc0XKMq
Even you doubt me, don’t you?!128Please respect copyright.PENANA4mU5XhC0ZB
Fine! Maybe I do have a secret collection... but it’s not what you think! It’s art! Refined culture! Historical preservation of the most forbidden anime scenes known to mankind!128Please respect copyright.PENANAerEDIENI45
You girls have no idea the danger you’ve stepped into. This is the lair of the former Demon King! According to every dark anime trope, this should end with me locking you all inside for a lesson in corruption!128Please respect copyright.PENANAYalhfeXHKC
“Not necessarily,” Raphael interrupted calmly. “At school, I’ve received quite a few love letters from boys.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAIN9GDNoXQ7
“Good for you,” Kouya muttered.128Please respect copyright.PENANA387CxKhJqc
“Some spray perfume on them. Others include rose petals,” she continued with an amused smile.128Please respect copyright.PENANAidVIJycGiJ
Corny, but harmless.128Please respect copyright.PENANAasFDeDQ8Dr
“And some even leave snacks in my desk.”128Please respect copyright.PENANASS3DPdBDV1
That’s just biology, Kouya thought. Sharing food’s a basic animal instinct.128Please respect copyright.PENANA9dzQ76ZEvq
“But last week,” Raphael added with perfect calm, “someone left me a black pair of panties.”128Please respect copyright.PENANA5wCeCNWxf0
“WHAT?!” Kouya sputtered. “That’s not affection—that’s a felony!”128Please respect copyright.PENANAsM9aZvYaTV
Raphael smiled sweetly. “I had a pretty good idea who did it, too.”128Please respect copyright.PENANA0kSC9NKGa1
No. No way.128Please respect copyright.PENANAgZDwuVDdiT
“You didn’t...” he said cautiously.128Please respect copyright.PENANAS0UKYVb4RZ
“Oh, but I did.” Her smile widened. “I gave him a thank-you gift. He’s still recovering.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAbu0MlECFtk
Kouya groaned. “You did turn him into a pig, didn’t you?”128Please respect copyright.PENANA6R7eaJMj8m
“Mm-hmm~” Raphael hummed happily. “He oinked so realistically, too.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAwsjpKTS8sF
Holy hell. That explains why that idiot didn’t show up for class Tuesday.128Please respect copyright.PENANA4IiEEvhdC4
“But,” she continued in a lower, teasing tone, “I really liked the style of that underwear. So I ordered another pair online.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAWwUx6zzrS7
“Raphael!” Vigne exclaimed, face bright red. “Don’t—”128Please respect copyright.PENANArbxLvBrcdr
Raphael ignored her. “Kouya-kun... want to see?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAunti88RxwL
She wasn’t wearing her uniform today. Instead, a white blouse tucked neatly into a red-and-black pleated skirt. Her black stockings climbed just above her knees, leaving a slim, glowing band of bare skin between the two—a mesmerizing strip of light that could make anyone’s pulse skip.128Please respect copyright.PENANATbt62ZtYup
As she slowly lifted her skirt, that forbidden strip of skin expanded, smooth and flawless.128Please respect copyright.PENANAgTw2FrmdDA
Vigne froze, mouth open. Satania’s brain short-circuited completely, her face going from red to crimson.128Please respect copyright.PENANAj93wb9HQUJ
Kouya squinted, crossing his arms. “Go ahead.”128Please respect copyright.PENANABWqbCCvqCs
They locked eyes—Raphael’s playful smirk against his deadpan stare.128Please respect copyright.PENANA9albWjfIq1
Three seconds.128Please respect copyright.PENANACJZJsgkwVG
Five.128Please respect copyright.PENANAaF3nt0ldEa
By the seventh, Raphael’s face was bright red. She dropped her skirt in defeat, coughing awkwardly. “...You really are impossible.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAFgKbvsWVHA
Kouya smirked. “Round one goes to me.”128Please respect copyright.PENANA9QwFEj3t7z
