Chapter 84: Go to the Police Station114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz45teNe7p
The large infirmary went silent all of a sudden, the air thick with tension. The faint hum of the fluorescent light above was the only sound left.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0v7AqzcS5
Vigne’s eyes widened as she stepped forward. Her face flickered between shock, hesitation, disappointment, and sorrow. Her voice trembled slightly when she finally spoke. "You... you two... what were you doing?! This is the school infirmary..."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHoKjueE20
Yeah, thanks, I can see that!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUqv8AIZt9
And for the record, nothing happened here! Not a single thing!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt5HH6pS55
You people just have the worst timing imaginable!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HeDag8pAw
"Lewd! Shameless! Hentai!"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI37s4dkMnd
A cold voice pierced through the silence. Gabriel appeared behind Vigne, glaring down at Kouya like he was the scum of the earth.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5BMdMximD
Before he could even reply, another voice piped up, full of curiosity and excitement.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD0mRfp2WX
"Eh? What’s going on? Let me see, let me see!"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzmnPaIaQf
Satania’s red hair bobbed as she peeked inside, only to have Gabriel shove her face back out.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDZK51YFAf
"Don’t look! You’ll get a stye!"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpfBXS62xC
"Huh? Why would I get a stye?" Satania asked, genuinely puzzled.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyeDuDZWn8
Gabriel huffed, crossing her arms.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpWmB1agnq
"Because it’ll stab your eyes like a needle, that’s why."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3apTGuDwlU
Stop lying through your halo, damn it!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlUwcfPXxc
You personally grabbed it before—you know perfectly well it’s not sharp!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zj5Yq2fIN
Rikka finally managed to stand up, still blushing fiercely, her voice small and shaky.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5j7APAAGV
"D-Don’t misunderstand! We were just... just..."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAU1968QWX
Just your ass!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlDddOepYn
For the love of everything holy, stop hesitating at the most suspicious part! You’re making me sound like a criminal!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXaaxvQfvr
"I’m telling you, it’s all a misunderstanding. Do you believe me?" Kouya said, his expression dark.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiRV4aMPwq
The scene probably looked bad, sure—but it was nothing like what they were thinking. There was nothing to feel guilty about.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufc1klK6rc
Vigne took a slow breath, then walked further inside. Her sharp violet eyes swept over every corner. She examined both Kouya and Rikka, her gaze landing on their perfectly neat clothes. Her expression softened, if only slightly.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzEWFvEcaw
It was the infirmary, after all—a public space, with the door wide open. Nobody with half a brain would try something indecent in here.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB82UNt2lN2
Still, her tone was icy as she said, biting her lip, "Kouya, please step outside. We’ll take care of Rikka."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4egv7RbO3
She hesitated, her voice growing heavier.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8hW8PyYZp
"And Kouya... even if Rikka is... a little unusual, that doesn’t give you the right to take advantage of her."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiFDOnaib0
Enough already!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg30YMCQbq
She’s a chunibyo, not mentally handicapped! No one took advantage of anyone!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DY6Vf2SXF
Kouya sighed and turned to leave—but then a loud gasp stopped him in his tracks.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeITRBTvOMk
"Wait!" Satania pointed dramatically. "There’s blood on the sofa!"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHInLHPMSK
"B-Blood?!"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08p4JhJIWk
Vigne froze. The others immediately leaned closer. Sure enough, a faint crimson stain marked the leather.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6NMlUx3hR
Probably just from when Rikka’s knee reopened...114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd95vHukkgy
But before Kouya could even open his mouth to explain, Satania pressed her fingers to her forehead and spoke in a low, detective-like tone.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlBhgt1cSS
"If it was just a knee wound... then why is there blood up there?"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoacH5Obpi
The room fell silent.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqh0rdr3BL
Every girl’s gaze locked onto Kouya, their expressions a mix of suspicion and shock.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJcQ08mjrv
Even Vigne’s hand trembled slightly as she pressed it against her chest. The temperature in the room felt like it dropped by ten degrees.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAAhI1kAlJ
"Rikka... what happened exactly?"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wyG7Gfm8Y
Rikka puffed her cheeks, frowning. "It’s because Kouya was too rough earlier!"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAXinlEUAL
"W-What?!" Vigne’s voice cracked. Her face paled, and then her tone grew icy. "R-Rough?!"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9SsJTfKOM
The temperature dropped further, frost practically forming in the air.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgczOUyvCIy
Rikka blinked innocently, completely unaware of what she was implying. "He used so much force that it started bleeding again..."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEEWcP83DH
Vigne lowered her head, shadows covering her eyes. The silence grew oppressive, heavy enough to crush air itself.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bVzhRYV87
Hey, can you not phrase it like that?!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NTvGqhmLb
I was cleaning your wound! That’s it!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4jyxAYAyj
"And Kouya also told me to cover my mouth and not make any noise..."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBvRJd7Ngi
The temperature dropped to absolute zero.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr9l5Xt9cY
Every girl’s expression darkened in unison.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaVdqZmLrv
"Hentai!" Gabriel yelled, swinging her hand in a chopping motion. "Guess we’ll just cut it off!"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaGJwCXkRs
Cut off what, exactly?!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaFFy8aVMD
Are you still hung up on that time you accidentally groped me?!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZR8l06h5O
Raphiel, normally full of teasing smiles, suddenly turned serious.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLpeETi5AS
"As much as I hate to say it, Kouya, using someone and pretending it didn’t happen... that’s awful."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhColzoN1JM
Who did I use?!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhJrJi2eCt
I’m cleaner than tofu right now!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsXpRNEF3b
Kouya looked toward Vigne desperately.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3Fsrvaz5M
You’re the rational one here—you won’t jump to conclusions, right?114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9qZACOWpx
Vigne didn’t move. She just stared at him for a long, cold moment before parting her lips.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJPYqatGBs
Her voice was calm, cutting, and final.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7qsnNhdoa
"Go to the police."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lLLsZltBQ
Of course.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mdBUhZziL
Of course it’s Vigne.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXUytTKsz7
Wait—WHAT?!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigMlFcUbxJ
Did she just say police?!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIBWxju92R
Vigne turned away, her expression unreadable. Her gaze drifted toward the window, where sunlight glinted softly on the glass.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxkLpOICP1
"If you turn yourself in, the sentence might be reduced..."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Tzeoe5pd
"Pfft—" Kouya almost choked.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CV5I5MMNj
Fairness? Justice? Where the hell did those go?!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntg8s49HZs
There’s no proof! How am I already guilty?!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGnlKQWJMJ
This world’s gone mad!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONSNzCX2Cs
...114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xykisYjGs
A few days later—it was Saturday.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrQ7Vr4ogq
The misunderstanding had finally been cleared up. Everyone realized that Kouya had done nothing wrong. Still, the memory of that humiliating scene lingered. The girls’ gazes were cold, their tone curt whenever they spoke to him.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9urrGHkJEy
Kouya tried to shrug it off. He’d seen worse. But even he had to admit—it stung a little.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgyx3WEPAP
That morning, just as he stretched and sat up in bed, his phone started buzzing.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJrm9Xcgpk
"Kouya-sama! Are you free today?"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWnZ4O9J16
The voice was bright and full of energy—it was Tohru, the dragon maid. She sounded practically wagging her tail through the phone.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVncPHkpbE
"Come have dinner at our new home tonight!"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd08TUisSVQ
"I’ll think about it," Kouya said flatly.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0KcOlcjFQ
"Kouya-sama, the weather’s really nice today!"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5AEFpvKfk
"Mm."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrv7hZYu6V
"Kouya-sama, it rained the other day! Did you bring an umbrella?"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2Nn16vGns
"Mm."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5oAnzUHID
"Kouya-sama—"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAwLzPQDoc
"Mm."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AoUUjvyfL
There was a pause... and then a loud pouty growl.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJa0pMDMMG
"Kouya-sama, you’re bullying me!"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1RKWS4s9k
He sighed. "What did I do now?"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFCRDkocyV
"Why haven’t you asked me about the new house yet?!"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFMHanGUao
Her voice rose, full of mock indignation.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FGciE5uAT
Kouya could practically see her on the other side—tail swishing, puffing her cheeks, waiting for him to take the bait. For a dragon maid, she sure had mastered the art of acting like an overexcited puppy.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS6QS6ZX6X
Fine. He’d humor her.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RrZ3t5mq4
"So... you moved?"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFejNH7HJU2
"That’s right! We moved yesterday! Kanna, Kobayashi, and I found a gorgeous house—it’s so pretty!" she chirped, practically vibrating with pride.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc76plGb33
"And you didn’t ask me to help?"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcb03wcDhs
"We hired movers! Besides, it’s all girls’ stuff—it wouldn’t be proper for you to pack it!"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1Cfeq7R0f
Her tone turned smug, almost singing with delight.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspbFix3AdE
"Now Kanna and I have our own rooms! Ehehehehe~"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlbfVI1avR
That giggle again!114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFwFxc4OPd
Even through the phone, Kouya could imagine her smug grin and wagging tail.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShnqlwK96g
Before he could say anything, another voice came through the line, dry and annoyed.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7Uo5Kb6HP
"Stop giggling like an idiot," said Kobayashi.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTsrP8tBYq
"Kouya, I’m cleaning the place today, so come by tonight. We’ll celebrate the move with dinner, alright?"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg1vB0OTjR
