Koneko, Koneko... / The Elevated Relationship Between Master and Pet

"Smack--"

Akeno Himejima took off her bathrobe, revealing her large breasts to Arthur.

Akeno Himejima smiled gently at Arthur, then turned her back to him.

Then, with a sound like clapping hands, a pair of wings suddenly unfolded.

They were a pair of wings, black in color but different in shape.

On the right are demon wings resembling black scythes, while on the left are the wings of Fallen Angels with a few feathers falling from them.

"Wings of a demon and wings of Fallen Angels, I possess both." Akeno Himejima, her arms wrapped around her enormous breasts, turned back to face Arthur. Her face still held a hint of sadness, but her beautiful, rosy eyes gazed at him with a soft light as Arthur softly asked, "You... would you despise such an evil version of me?"

Although her tone was calm, the slight tremor in her voice betrayed Akeno Himejima's unease.

It was precisely because she cared about Arthur that she was so uneasy.

This girl, who is usually very bold and even constantly seduces Arthur, mustered up a lot of courage to show Arthur this side of herself.

This also includes foreshadowing from previous memories.

Otherwise, Akeno Himejima would definitely not dare to open her heart to Arthur until a certain opportunity arises.

However, this question (bifj) was a piece of cake for Arthur.

He simply sat on the ground, hands behind his back, tilting his head slightly upwards to look at Akeno Himejima standing before him. Instead of answering, he asked with a smile, "Then would you despise me, who possesses the 'Holy Sword Excalibur,' specifically designed to subdue evil?"

"... Pfft!" Akeno Himejima was slightly taken aback, and looking at Arthur's faint smile, she finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Then, she opened her arms, which were wrapped around her, and exposed her upper body to Arthur, lunging at Arthur.

She pounced on Arthur, pressing her large breasts firmly against his face. Akeno Himejima cradled his head, her beautiful cheek gently rubbing against his hair, her voice unusually tender and happy, like that of Koneko Toujou: "Of course not, because Arthur... is my favorite person!"

Arthur's words of comfort, devoid of any sentimentality, touched Akeno Himejima's heart, causing her emotions to erupt completely.

At this moment, Arthur's image filled Akeno Himejima's heart.

Rias's "Queen" was also stolen, just like her "Rook".

Time flies, and the clock has already struck 10:30 PM.

From noon until now, almost half a day has passed without us realizing it.

The bright lights inside the shrine finally went out.

Arthur, dressed in black and white, and Akeno Himejima, dressed in her Kuoh Academy uniform, walked down the stone steps under the silvery moonlight.

Just like when they arrived, Akeno Himejima was still holding Arthur's arm, but this time she also rested her head on his shoulder, a sweet smile playing on her beautiful face.

Arthur, with his hands casually in his pockets, gazed up at the starry sky and full moon, and softly exclaimed, "It's so vast!"

"... Um?"

Akeno Himejima, who had been half-closing her eyes, involuntarily raised her head from his shoulder, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of doubt as she looked at Arthur's profile.

"Let's go!" As if sensing Akeno Himejima's gaze, Arthur withdrew his eyes, turned his head and smiled slightly at her. He took his hand out of his pocket and placed it on Akeno Himejima's shoulder, and walked down the stone steps with her like a couple.

"Um!"

Sensing that Arthur's attitude towards her was completely different from before, Akeno Himejima instantly banished her earlier doubts, resting her head on his shoulder once more, savoring the taste of first love.

That comment, "That's really big," was just a timely remark!

It's about the world, or power, or... both.

Chapter 430 Koneko, Koneko...

At 11 p. m., the bustling streets of Kuoh Town were still brightly lit with neon lights and pedestrians strolling around.

However, in the area where the luxury villas stand, most of the surrounding low-rise buildings have turned off their lights.

Only this luxurious building still has its lights on.

"You two are back so late—where have you been?"

When Arthur and Akeno Himejima entered the living room, they were questioned by Rias.

Rias frowned slightly as she watched the two enter hand in hand like a couple.

They didn't even notice the subtle scrutiny in his gaze.

"Ah... Arthur and I had a wonderful and happy date that I'll cherish for a lifetime." After hearing Rias's words, Akeno Himejima didn't let go of Arthur's arm. Instead, she nuzzled Arthur shoulder, her beautiful face radiating a blissful aftertaste, and smiled meaningfully at Rias.

This statement is also only partially true.

Today is truly a day that Akeno Himejima will cherish for a lifetime.

On this day, she found the man she could spend her life with.

"Oh... what did you do with my fiancé? Dare to tell me in detail?" Rias adjusted her non-prescription glasses, hugged her large breasts covered by her thin nightgown, and looked at Akeno Himejima with a provocative gaze as she asked.

It was only then that I noticed that on her right hand, which was holding Fengluan, she was also holding a pen with two fingers.

Rias should be studying until Arthur and Akeno Himejima return.

"Ara ara... Of course, it was something someone hadn't had a chance to do yet, that embarrassing, comfortable thing!" Akeno Himejima accepted Rias's provocation, finally letting go of her arms, resting her cheeks on her hands, and twisting her graceful body, pretending to be shy as she spoke. However, the look she gave Rias was gentle yet tinged with a hint of provocation.

The two women's eyes met, instantly creating a horizon where sparks flew.

Arthur seemed used to the two girls' daily squabbles, and instead of watching with interest as usual, he glanced around the living room and asked Rias, "Where are Koneko and Aisa?"

"Aisa's already asleep; she has class tomorrow." Rias withdrew her gaze from Akeno Himejima and said with a slightly amused expression, "As for that Koneko, she's probably waiting for the right moment to sneak out and steal some fish, isn't she?!"

Rias understands Koneko Toujou's feelings for Arthur, but she is not bothered by Koneko Toujou always sticking to Arthur.

Ultimately, the Koneko Toujou knew Arthur before they did.

Moreover, she initially suspected that the Koneko Toujou was in a relationship, which led to her meeting Arthur.

Now, Akeno Himejima has decided to follow Arthur for life, and Rias, who was initially just acting, has become accustomed to identifying herself as Arthur's fiancée when arguing with Akeno Himejima.

Unbeknownst to them, they had become the other woman, stealing the most precious thing from Koneko Toujou.

Therefore, Rias can question Akeno Himejima, but she will absolutely not stop Koneko Toujou from sticking to Arthur.

The same goes for Akeno Himejima.

Fortunately, the Koneko Toujou didn't see Arthur as a lover, but rather as a pet, treating Arthur as its master.

Otherwise, if she wanted to have Arthur all to herself, Rias and Akeno Himejima wouldn't have been able to swallow their pride and compete with their juniors for a man at first.

Arthur smiled slightly at Rias's teasing words.

He then ignored their fight and headed upstairs.

He then ignored their fight and headed upstairs.

Arthur made his way back to his room.

When he turned on the light, he saw a familiar figure on the large Simmons mattress.

It was the body of a young girl wrapped in a thin summer blanket, curled up hugging a pillow, her eyes closed as if she were asleep, her lovely face flushed, and a few beads of sweat on her forehead.

It wasn't due to the summer temperature, but rather the discomfort of a cold.

With superpowers and a yokai nature, Koneko Toujou would naturally not catch a human cold.

But she looked genuinely unwell.

She didn't even know if it was because she was feeling unwell, but a pair of fluffy cat ears appeared on her shoulder-length silver hair, and a tail stuck out of the cup, swaying unconsciously.

The discomfort caused the Koneko Toujou to twitch slightly even as it drifted off to sleep.

Seeing this, Arthur, whose lips had been slightly upturned, frowned slightly. He walked to the edge of the Simmons mattress, bent down to look at the blushing Koneko Toujou, and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Koneko... Koneko..." Feeling the warmth from his palm, Arthur nudged the Koneko Toujou's shoulder and called softly, trying to wake Koneko Toujou from its sleep.

"... Meow~"

As Arthur shook her, the Koneko Toujou slowly opened her beautiful, misty golden eyes, gazing at Arthur with tender light. A loving smile appeared on her flushed cheeks. Just as she was about to say something, a lazy meow came from her mouth.

"..."

The shout, however, was like an electric current, surging through Arthur's heart.

As he remained silent, the Koneko Toujou, who had been looking at him with obvious dependence, also showed a hint of surprise in her soft, watery eyes at his own voice.

Immediately, the Koneko Toujou's delicate body trembled slightly uncontrollably. She quickly covered her cat ears with both hands and looked at Arthur with a rare hint of fear in her eyes.

"So cute." As if sensing the change in Koneko Toujou's emotions, Arthur snapped out of his reverie, reached out and removed her hands from Koneko Toujou hiding place, pinched her cat ears, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Koneko's true form really is a Koneko."

"Senior..."

The Koneko Toujou didn't dare swat Arthur's hand away, but her body involuntarily shrank into the blankets, leaving only her eyes showing. She looked timidly at Arthur and asked in a trembling voice, "Will you hate me?"

"..."

This seemingly familiar phrase made Arthur pause for a moment, then he couldn't help but chuckle.

I never expected to hear this same sentence from two girls on the same day.

"Actually..."

Thinking of this, Arthur couldn't resist teasing the adorable Koneko. So he lowered his head, gazed into the Koneko Toujou's beautiful golden eyes, and said with a smile, "I already knew the Koneko's secret."

"Eh--".

Chapter 431 The Elevated Master-Pet Relationship

"Huh--??"

Arthur's words indeed brought a look of adorable confusion to the Koneko Toujou's face.

Seeing this, Arthur gently stroked her nose with his finger and said with a smile, "Little scatterbrain, don't you realize you reveal your true colors every morning?"

"R-really?" Koneko Toujou asked timidly, still looking as fearful as ever.

If someone used to her aloof demeanor saw this, they would definitely be completely charmed.

This contrast is so adorable, it's just too cute!

"Of course!" Arthur nodded with a smile.

"Then... then do you hate me like this?" Koneko Toujou peeked out from under the covers, nervously repeating the same question.

"027" "Of course not..." After Arthur finished speaking, he lifted the blanket off Koneko Toujou, only to find that she was only wearing underwear.

Arthur, however, didn't faze her. Instead, he pretended not to see anything, picked up the Koneko Toujou, and rolled over onto the large Simmons mattress. Looking down at the Koneko Toujou nestled on his chest, he gently pinched her cat ears again and said with a smile, "On the contrary, the Koneko looks adorable like this. I like it very much!"

As if to prove his point, Arthur turned his head to look at the cabinet along the edge of the Simmons mattress, reached for his phone on the cabinet, opened the photo album and presented it to Koneko Toujou, and said with a smile, "Take a look if you don't believe me."

After hearing Arthur's words, like a frightened kitten, the Koneko Toujou cautiously turned its gaze to the phone screen.

Then, a joyful light gradually replaced her timidity, and her lovely face seemed to instantly dispel all the gloom.

I fell asleep while looking at my phone screen, which displayed different dates.

Suddenly, mist filled the eyes of the Koneko Toujou, condensing into tears that spilled out and dripped onto Arthur's chest.

"Right? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Arthur asked with a smile.

"Senior..." The Koneko Toujou hugged his neck, her face full of emotion, rubbing her tear-stained face against his neck and calling out softly.

Feeling the rapidly rising emotion surging within him as he held his pet, Arthur reached out and placed his hand on the Koneko Toujou's head, gently pinching her ears. Then, as always, he softly stroked her hair and whispered, "Although I don't know why Koneko 're so afraid of me seeing this side of you, I don't dislike Koneko this way. On the contrary, I like you very much!"

"If you want to stay this way, then just keep it this way! There's no need to force yourself, understand?"

"Mmm..." The Koneko Toujou, who had been rubbing its head against Arthur's neck, paused slightly, then raised its head, looking at Arthur with soft eyes. Suddenly, it scratched its cheek, lowered its head to Arthur's head, and licked Arthur's face with its tongue. Then, its beautiful golden eyes narrowed, filled with a look of dependence, and it let out a lazy meow at Arthur: "Meow~"

The Koneko Toujou's affectionate meow sent a jolt through Arthur to squint his eyes slightly and stroke her chin with a smile.
