However, shy as she was, as someone who had planned for half a year just to get a bite of meat, even resorting to drastic measures to get herself to eat, Shinobu Kocho knew very well—
Now is not the time to hide under the covers and bury your face in bed; striking while the iron is hot and securing official recognition is the top priority!
Then, the woman's eyes darted around.
She nestled into Giyu's arms, her soft arms encircling Giyu waist, and raised her large, watery purple eyes, pouting sweetly:
"Ugh... You still have to say that! It's all Mr. Giyu's fault!!"
Shinobu Kocho rested her chin on Giyu's chest, pouted her rosy lips, and complained with a resentful expression:
"Knowing full well it was her first time, knowing full well her delicate body... Mr. Giyu showed absolutely no mercy!!"
Giyu was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by her twisted accusation.
"... Ren, didn't you take some drugs last night and then pounce on me and tear my clothes?"
"I don't care! I don't care!!"
Shinobu Kocho immediately activated her womanly, unreasonable, and coquettish code, gently swaying her shoulders in Giyu's arms, arguing illogically:
"Although I drank the tea myself last night, wasn't it because you, Mr. Giyu, were so heartless that you forced me into a corner and I had no choice but to resort to this self-inflicted injury?"
Ultimately, you are the culprit!
"And... and even if I was the one who initiated it at first, by the middle of the night, the effects of the drug had clearly worn off!"
"But..."
"I'm like this now... it's all Mr. Giyu's fault!"
At this point, Shinobu Kocho suddenly reached out and cupped Giyu's cheeks in her hands.
Her beautiful purple eyes were fixed on Giyu's eyes, and amidst her shyness and charm, a rare hint of nervousness, typical of a young woman, was revealed.
"Giyu Tomioka! Listen up!"
"The deed is done, my innocence, my body, are yours!"
You must take responsibility for me!
"From this day forward, from this very moment on, I, Shinobu Kocho, am no longer your sister-in-law!"
"Just like my sister, I am also your woman, Giyu Tomioka's woman, and your good wife!"
"If you dare to deny it, or if you ever show favoritism towards my sister and neglect me... I'll tie you to the operating table at the Butterfly Mansion and feed you ten bowls of laxatives mixed with croton oil every day, making you run to the toilet eighty times a day! Do you hear me?!"
Looking at the delicate little woman in his arms, who was so sore all over that she couldn't even straighten her back, with tears still in the corners of her eyes, yet still trying to put on a brave front and threatening him with her claws outstretched.
At that moment, Giyu Tomioka was completely smitten!
Who is he?
Before crossing that line, he would restrain himself fiercely because of morality and rules;
But once he crosses that line and truly possesses the girl in front of him who cherishes him like her own life, even if the sky falls, he, Giyu Tomioka, would never be the kind of coward who shirks responsibility and makes his woman feel insecure!
Giyu stopped rubbing his lower back, slowly raised his hands, and gently placed his large hands on Shinobu Kocho's small hands that were cupping his cheeks.
"I promise you, I'll endure it."
"No laxatives are needed, and no threats are needed."
"Now that you are my woman, from this day forward, you, Shinobu Kocho, will be my wife, whom I Giyu Tomioka, will never betray in this lifetime."
"As long as I have a breath left, whether it's facing Muzan Kibutsuji or the gossip of this world, I will protect you and Kanae for the rest of my life, and I will never let you suffer the slightest injustice!"
"Mr. Giyu..."
Shinobu Kocho was completely stunned.
Crystal tears rolled down her cheeks again, but this time, they were not from jealousy or resentment, but from the ultimate joy of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!
"Ugh... You idiot Giyu! You're such a blockhead, yet you suddenly say such heartwarming things... That's unfair!!"
She cheered, wrapped her arms around Giyu's neck, closed her eyes, and pressed her cherry-sweet lips to Giyu's!
"Ugh--!"
This kiss was filled with the tenderness, longing, and all-consuming love of a woman who had finally gotten what she wanted.
Giyu's eyes softened slightly, and he reached out to embrace the back of her head, returning the kiss that sealed their love in the early morning.
After a long while, their lips parted!
Shinobu Kocho was breathless from the kisses, her small face resting on Giyu's shoulder. Her purple eyes were filled with a captivating charm, making Giyu's blood surge again.
"Cough--"
Giyu quickly coughed lightly to suppress the pounding in his heart, gently patted her shoulder, and sat up.
"It's already dawn!"
"I'll have someone boil some hot water to help you wash up, and then I'll go to the kitchen to make you some chicken soup to replenish your blood and energy."
However,
Seeing that Giyu was getting dressed and about to get out of bed, Shinobu Kocho, who had just begun to enjoy the bliss of newlywed bliss, was unwilling to let him leave even for a moment.
"No... I want to go with Mr. Giyu too..."
As she muttered to herself, Shinobu threw off the covers and stretched out her long, slender, and fair legs to get out of bed.
As a result, before he could even stand up straight—
"Oops-- "
This woman, who is usually as light as a swallow and can fly to and fro among the treetops, suddenly performed a split on the spot, and looked like she was about to fall flat on her backside on the floor!
"Careful!"
Fortunately, Giyu Yong reacted quickly and scooped the stubborn little chick back into his arms. Without saying a word, he tucked her back into the blankets and made sure the corners were securely covered.
"Ouch... it hurts..."
Shinobu Kocho lay on the pillow, her little face full of resentment.
How embarrassing!
The Butterfly Mansion was utterly defeated when it came to getting out of bed!
Giyu looked down at his sister-in-law, who was bound like a silkworm... oh no, now she's his second wife, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips. He reached out and ruffled her hair.
"Don't push yourself. When Kanae first had her first time, she also had to lie in bed all day to recover."
"Your constitution is three points weaker than hers. You are not allowed to step out of this bed today."
Hearing Giyu mention that her sister had also suffered such a terrible fate the first time, Shinobu Kocho's sense of shame immediately eased considerably, and she even felt a strange, secret satisfaction that her sister and she were finally on equal footing.
She nodded obediently, her little head peeking out from under the blanket and nuzzling against Giyu's palm, her voice soft and sweet like a kitten's pleading:
"Alright then... since my husband has given the order, I 'Shinobu lie down~ But, I'm so hungry right now, Giyu- san, please come back and keep me company soon!"
"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and have someone make you a pot of old hen soup. I'll be right back."
Giyu tidied the stray hairs on her forehead, turned around, put on his dark blue haori, opened the door, and went out.
