Chapter 97: You’re Going to Get...108Please respect copyright.PENANAwc9yGDF688
When Kouya came back to his senses, his first thought was that he had entered the wrong room. His hand was still on the doorknob, his mind blank for a few seconds as he stared at the scene before him, his pulse stuttering.108Please respect copyright.PENANAAzSrqTnY4L
He instinctively took a step back and looked up at the room number...108Please respect copyright.PENANASwl5li2WCO
It was his own room, no mistake. The familiar scratches on the door, the worn-out welcome mat—it was definitely his.108Please respect copyright.PENANAMC1Qdr9Ivw
But could someone tell him what the hell was going on with the naked girl sleeping inside!?108Please respect copyright.PENANAM5Ok1dx2Dz
Kouya froze for several seconds before finally stepping inside with a dark expression, closing the door behind him as quietly as possible. The click of the latch echoed louder than it should have.108Please respect copyright.PENANA1P53BUQ5wi
The curtains were drawn, making the light in the room dim, only faint morning rays slipping through the gaps. The computer on the desk flickered with a cold white glow, illuminating the empty drink bottles, snack wrappers, and a mouse that still twitched from some auto-click macro. The faint smell of soda, chips, and girl perfume mixed in the air.108Please respect copyright.PENANA7nMK0aEiZZ
On the sofa lay a small, blonde, lazy angel — that was none other than Gabriel, the girl who found joy in poking people and skipping responsibilities.108Please respect copyright.PENANA4HU3lTLur7
She was curled up quietly in a sideways position, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her breathing steady and soft. Her small chest rose and fell gently, the faint sound of her sleepy breathing somehow peaceful. Her sleeping face was so delicate and cute that it could almost make someone forget how infuriating she actually was when awake.108Please respect copyright.PENANAay1ebCU66n
She wore a white frilled camisole, the thin straps hanging loosely from her shoulders. The neckline was slightly open, showing a glimpse of her delicate collarbone and smooth pale skin — and, from the shape beneath the thin fabric, it was clear she wasn’t wearing a bra.108Please respect copyright.PENANAbSfgMf0Kc2
Further down, her flawless legs — soft and pale like fresh cream — were exposed to the air. Her toes curled slightly in her sleep, the faint pink hue on them like flower petals. Her small, round feet rested over the armrest of the sofa as if she had kicked off her blanket halfway through the night.108Please respect copyright.PENANAVdYQq6cHl0
Yes, Gabriel was only wearing panties on her lower half.108Please respect copyright.PENANAY1XYJPiMf2
A pink pair with a cat pattern and a little ribbon tied into a bow at the waist — a bow that looked as though it would come undone if someone so much as tugged on it.108Please respect copyright.PENANA2DYWILos01
Of course, that wasn’t the main point.108Please respect copyright.PENANAZtHv1GxC37
The main point was — why the hell was this lazy angel in his room!?108Please respect copyright.PENANAHU510Kwuis
He’d only been gone one night, but why did it feel like a whole year had passed!?108Please respect copyright.PENANAUe4V7VpQRa
“Get up!” Kouya barked with a dark face, his voice sharp enough to cut through the silence.108Please respect copyright.PENANAaGfN3hSMkg
“...”108Please respect copyright.PENANAxtXyGyGh6F
The room stayed quiet. The only sound was the low hum of the computer and the angel’s faint breathing.108Please respect copyright.PENANAi5cdysHujN
The lazy girl slept soundly, her golden hair scattered like silk over the pillow.108Please respect copyright.PENANA5Q007Fh2gR
Kouya’s lips twitched slightly, and with a sigh, he reached out — not for the tempting ribbon bow at her waist, but for her ear.108Please respect copyright.PENANAP339Hr8tVo
Her long lashes trembled as she stirred, and she finally opened her eyes. Still half-asleep, she blinked lazily, her gaze unfocused, her lips parting in a small yawn.108Please respect copyright.PENANAe2JwtlUXY5
“Mm... you’re back...” Gabriel mumbled, covering her mouth with her hand, her voice drowsy and sweet.108Please respect copyright.PENANAqjO71H2Yck
“Why are you in my room?” Kouya asked flatly.108Please respect copyright.PENANAvImlZ3emxR
“Eh? Your room?” Gabriel blinked, her expression slow to process. Her eyes wandered around the room, then back to the sofa, then down to herself.108Please respect copyright.PENANAaNCmVi6TQ9
And then—108Please respect copyright.PENANA7JMhMubY1D
“Ah!!!” Her scream tore through the air like an explosion.108Please respect copyright.PENANAwMCfC0M5sd
Shut up, lazy angel!108Please respect copyright.PENANAoTE3vpfgko
You’re the one who broke in! Don’t act like I’m the villain here!108Please respect copyright.PENANA22iHDPLRdI
And seriously, what are you even covering!? I’ve already seen everything!108Please respect copyright.PENANA7nqm4Yw6Wr
That holy light of yours isn’t doing much of a job either!108Please respect copyright.PENANAB5NUTUGdnK
And then, from downstairs, came an even louder shout.108Please respect copyright.PENANAWcxkEMis0S
“Keep it down! It’s my only day off, and you’re screaming your lungs out! If you’re doing that kind of thing, bite on a damn towel!!!”108Please respect copyright.PENANAQIvQmDrEmB
“...”108Please respect copyright.PENANABFUO56e8GU
Gabriel froze mid-scream. Her face turned bright red, the color rushing to her cheeks so fast it looked painful.108Please respect copyright.PENANAvNObFXMWMQ
This building was old and cheap, with paper-thin walls. Her voice probably woke half the tenants.108Please respect copyright.PENANAxjPxL1ZVbS
After that awkward moment, Gabriel finally snapped back to reality, scrambling to grab her clothes and press them against her chest defensively.108Please respect copyright.PENANAOudOigOLmR
“Hentai! Don’t look! Get out!”108Please respect copyright.PENANAqopBImkX01
Kouya nearly laughed out loud from frustration. You break into my home and strip down, and now I’m the pervert?108Please respect copyright.PENANAgsfp2VD15I
Instead of leaving, he stepped forward, looming over her. “I’ll ask one more time — why are you in my room?”108Please respect copyright.PENANAYJa4aUxvFE
“Y-you go out first!” Gabriel said weakly, her voice losing all confidence.108Please respect copyright.PENANADS3UBU17if
Kouya said nothing.108Please respect copyright.PENANANtNfc98q42
Gabriel puffed her cheeks and shouted, “Kouya-kun, you really are a hentai!”108Please respect copyright.PENANABfjs9mm0is
Of all people, you’re the last one who should be saying that!108Please respect copyright.PENANAKh8fkVxb7D
You sneak into a guy’s room and sleep half-naked, and now you’re pretending to have morals!?108Please respect copyright.PENANAeihQOJYYpw
They glared at each other for a long moment before Gabriel finally deflated, shoulders slumping. “I-I didn’t have a choice! My room suddenly lost power last night... the wires burned out or something...”108Please respect copyright.PENANAr0c8HKJ4nM
“Then stay at a hotel, damn it!”108Please respect copyright.PENANA5WcalkB4nZ
“That’s not a reason to break into my place!”108Please respect copyright.PENANAKDZUM6nrY5
“I wanted to, but I’m broke!” Gabriel pouted. “When I was gaming yesterday, some jerk with rare gear started trash-talking me! I got mad and spent all my money on gacha pulls!”108Please respect copyright.PENANA763Rxe8SjZ
You idiot! You can’t even afford proper food, and you’re gambling on pixels!?108Please respect copyright.PENANApCvUxxlhJm
“So I called you to borrow some money...”108Please respect copyright.PENANAAuyoC9gfPC
Knew it. That call wasn’t concern — it was a loan request in disguise.108Please respect copyright.PENANAlRDoQqrFpn
“Where’d you get the key?” Kouya asked darkly.108Please respect copyright.PENANA4ArqgSCzd6
“I-I didn’t use a key!” Gabriel stuck out her tongue, pretending to look cute.108Please respect copyright.PENANA7HOHquLt7B
“How did you get in, then?”108Please respect copyright.PENANASjA3yhnmA9
“Umm... from the balcony...” she muttered.108Please respect copyright.PENANAguzBuj1Elx
You what!? Through the damn balcony!?108Please respect copyright.PENANAhetYvwUNRL
You know that’s illegal, right!?108Please respect copyright.PENANAvKmjpNtZHr
“It was Takanashi-san’s idea!” Gabriel whined. “I was still thinking about it, but she pulled out a rope and said she wanted to explore the hero’s treasure vault!”108Please respect copyright.PENANAjT4N6pHeDK
Kouya’s face twitched. He turned toward the bedroom — and sure enough, he found Takanashi Rikka sleeping there, hugging a pillow like a cocoon, a line of drool trailing from her mouth.108Please respect copyright.PENANAlLds8CVWFc
“Takanashi-san?” he said through gritted teeth.108Please respect copyright.PENANAjGWDV7Iq3L
It took several tries before the girl stirred, mumbling, “The hero... mustn’t disturb the seal... cursed blanket... too strong...”108Please respect copyright.PENANAfIwLLiEop9
And she went right back to sleep.108Please respect copyright.PENANAnzV4gHzRPp
Kouya sighed deeply. This was his life now.108Please respect copyright.PENANAON3HtO9gP8
He went back to the living room. “What did you two even do last night?”108Please respect copyright.PENANAyNYwoHl5dw
“Just played games...” Gabriel said meekly.108Please respect copyright.PENANAXX56q0gR8A
“And the snacks?”108Please respect copyright.PENANAnfwFnQIhsq
“When I game, I need snacks to stop myself from swearing!” she muttered, face flushed. “I’ll pay you back!”108Please respect copyright.PENANANG3m7a3Snx
“Really?” Kouya said. “Didn’t someone just say they were broke?”108Please respect copyright.PENANAwUcWcR6Z02
“I-I’ll have money soon!” Gabriel huffed, turning away again.108Please respect copyright.PENANAk8gDrJAcGg
Kouya’s stare was blank and cold.108Please respect copyright.PENANAKHeuZb7T9L
Gabriel clutched her clothes nervously. “W-What are you going to do?”108Please respect copyright.PENANAHEEOQSmDWw
As she asked, she subconsciously checked her halo — still dark, but her holy light was, thankfully, intact.108Please respect copyright.PENANAeoYZSFF0l4
Kouya sighed again, rubbing his forehead. “You’re going to get dressed, clean this place up, and wake Takanashi Rikka. Got it?”108Please respect copyright.PENANA0CtntOssYm
“Oh...” Gabriel pouted in defeat, nodding weakly.108Please respect copyright.PENANAc7K5cTO2TX
She picked up her clothes and turned toward the bedroom — but before she could move, the doorbell suddenly rang.108Please respect copyright.PENANARo1LMD25gD
A familiar voice followed: “Kouya-kun, are you there?”108Please respect copyright.PENANA2zIdlBoVQt
“It’s Vigne!” Gabriel squeaked, her eyes wide, and she bolted into the bedroom like a cat caught stealing food.108Please respect copyright.PENANAAJORSyF61t
Hey! What’s with that guilty look!? Why are you hiding!?108Please respect copyright.PENANAWBs61H6BV1
Kouya went to the door and opened it. Vigne stood there, wearing a green blouse and blue jeans, a small bag slung at her waist. She looked neat and radiant, her smile warm enough to melt away the chaos inside.108Please respect copyright.PENANAEGhxjbW7nh
“We were supposed to take Kanna-chan out yesterday,” she said cheerfully, “but didn’t get the chance. So... Kouya-kun, are you free today?”108Please respect copyright.PENANAyecH6SkQs2
She clasped her hands together and added with a hopeful look, “If you are, bring Kanna-chan too! I brought tons of snacks!”108Please respect copyright.PENANANogq3qDvTt
Kouya breathed a little easier. Just as he was about to reply, Vigne’s expression changed.108Please respect copyright.PENANArgMaVAndRB
“Kouya-kun, did you stay up all night gaming again?”108Please respect copyright.PENANAiJl7jInMqt
She stepped inside, frowning. “Why is your place such a mess? Honestly... I’ll clean up a bit, okay? Just think of it as thanks for helping us last time—”108Please respect copyright.PENANAuGFWntQEBA
But she froze mid-sentence.108Please respect copyright.PENANAEtqZq3inBd
Because on the sofa lay a single black stocking.108Please respect copyright.PENANA9FLPHLFxNd
Damn you, Gabriel!108Please respect copyright.PENANAAHsNn8XVfa
You left your stocking behind!?108Please respect copyright.PENANAbfzLsKThAN
The air grew heavy in an instant.108Please respect copyright.PENANAxT9WaWZVQQ
Vigne’s smile disappeared. Her violet eyes narrowed, a cold spark flashing within them. “Kouya-kun... care to explain where this came from?”108Please respect copyright.PENANA6LCflTwDg6
“Well...” Kouya started carefully, sweat forming on his brow.108Please respect copyright.PENANAOzLIbMqfZw
And then, from the bedroom, came a soft feminine moan.108Please respect copyright.PENANAUsJz1opEIS
