Curiosity Killed the Cat / Sajou Midori: That's My Room, Mine!

In particular, Gwen knew very well that the other party, as the Beast of Pleasure separated from the Beast of Lust, might be even more specifically targeted at him...

In that instant, many thoughts raced through his mind. The next moment, Gwen's expression changed, an invisible flame rising within his eyes, instantly incinerating all the chaotic ideas—

"I've overcome my Inner Demon, why would I be afraid of a Beast of Pleasure like you?"

Realizing he wasn't an ordinary person helpless against beasts or a member of the main cast struggling to survive, Gwen instantly burned away all the unnecessary distractions that had arisen after realizing the other party's identity and potential threat. His gaze towards the woman Mei Lian called Kishou-in held a newfound curiosity.

In Tsukihime's world, where undead apostles roam freely and Human Order in decline, what kind of life trajectory and development does the other party have?

Or rather, in this world where humanity is on the verge of collapse, is there really a possibility that the other party could evolve into a beast?

"Okay, it seems you don't want to talk about this right now."

Faced with the volatile Mei Lian, Kihara Kishou-in smiled gently, no longer provoking Mei Lian's fragile nerves, and turned slightly to look at Gwen and Arcueid—

"The three of you, this is the third seat of the Burial Agency, Qihuang Kishou-in, who has come to assist you in slaying the reincarnated Serpent of Akasha Roa."

Please take good care of me in the days to come.

As she spoke, the seemingly kind nun gave a slight bow, which was impeccable.

Seeing that humble figure, even though Altrouge was angry, she didn't get angry. She just looked at Gwen.

Chapter 555 Curiosity Killed the Cat

Faced with the request from Kihara Kishou-in, who seemed almost like a holy nun from church propaganda compared to Mei Lian, the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles—, Altrouge subconsciously frowned.

Based on her experience dealing with the Holy Church over hundreds or even thousands of years, this Kihara- Kishou-in is probably no ordinary person.

Even though Altrouge didn't sense much of a threat from the other woman, since she was able to enter the Burial Agency and was ranked above Mei Lian, the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles, then this woman was definitely not some harmless, pure-hearted nun.

More likely, the other party is far more dangerous than Mei Lian, but also much more reserved, to the point that Altrouge is completely unaware of the danger posed by the other party.

This is undoubtedly a worse situation.

However, Altrouge only felt a slight sense of apprehension; she didn't find it too troublesome.

She is no longer the black-clad Princess who leads her subjects across the land; she is just a bullied little follower who makes Arcueid happy.

Despite her unexpectedly mild mood, Altrouge quickly used the contract to inform Gwen Kishou-in.

Yes, after agreeing to temporarily follow Gwen to "learn" and incidentally vent Arcueid's anger, Altrouge signed a contract with Gwen.

The content is very simple, even rudimentary.

Gwen healed the wounds of Altrouge and her two servants, while also providing protection and guidance to Altrouge during their journey together.

In return, all factions under Altrouge's control must obey Gwen's orders and act according to his will during this period.

As for other matters, those areas with many loopholes, Gwen didn't mention them, and Altrouge left those many gaps, tacitly accepting that blank space.

While Altrouge was easily and cheerfully shifting the blame, Arcueid, standing next to Gwen, frowned as she looked at Kihara Kishou-in.

Although Arcueid didn't dislike the other person's demeanor, she actually liked it.

But for some reason, looking at the smiling nun, Arcueid felt an urge to stay away from her.

If it were the original Arcueid, she would definitely follow this instinct and silently stay away from this strange woman.

But now, Arcueid has some emotions and thoughts that she would never have had before, such as... curiosity—

When Arcueid looked at Kishou-in, who had given her this strange feeling, a faint golden light shone in her crimson eyes.

Driven by that naive curiosity, Arcueid subconsciously explored the essence of Kihara Kishou-in, and even subconsciously mobilized support from the planet because of her intense focus.

Then Arcueid saw—

The innate saint's goodness and love, and beneath this beauty, the desires and depravity originating from the origin...

"Hmm..."

With just a glance, the innocent True Ancestor subconsciously closed his eyes and stopped looking at Qihuang Kishou-in.

At the same time, Arcueid let out a muffled groan and collapsed limply onto Gwen, but the hand gripping Gwen's arm was incredibly strong, causing Gwen a sharp pain.

Arcueid!

Gwen instinctively reached out and embraced Arcueid's limp and powerless body, instantly noticing that something was wrong with Arcueid.

"Hmm..."

Held in Gwen's arms, Arcueid let out a soft moan and opened her eyes with some difficulty. A strange flame seemed to flicker in her originally clear crimson eyes.

Before anyone else, who was unaware of what was happening, could ask, the already dim sky suddenly darkened, and an invisible pressure suddenly descended, making it almost difficult to breathe.

Whether it was the smiling Kihara Kishou-in or the pouty-lipped, unhappy-looking Sayo Aika, they both felt that they could hardly move a finger at this moment, and even their thoughts were somewhat sluggish.

Feeling immense fear gripping her, Sayo Ayaka was completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.

However, before she could even wonder, Gwen's voice rang in her ear—

"Miss Ayaka, please share the location of your residence."

"Okay... okay."

Faced with Gwen's somewhat cold voice, the bewildered Sayo Ayaka had no intention of resisting and obediently agreed, giving him her home address.

The next moment, Sayo Ayaka felt a blur before her eyes and found herself back in her own garage, but her older sister beside her remained motionless, like a lifelike doll.

Beside the garage, the two members of the Holy Church's Burial Agency also stood silently like puppets, without making any movement.

The bizarre scene before her eyes sent a chill down Sayo Ayaka.

However, before she could do anything, Gwen's voice rang in her ears again—

"Miss Ayaka, this is a sudden matter. I need to borrow your room for a while."

There's no need to worry about the others' unusual behavior; they are all safe and not in any danger. I will help them recover once I've finished dealing with things here, so please don't worry.

After giving instructions to the female protagonist, who was also the most harmless among this group of demons Sayo Ayaka monsters, Gwen had already rolled onto a bed in the Sajo Family's house with Arcueid in his arms.

Just like Gwen, who had just vaguely sensed some hidden essence of Kihara Kishou-in, Arcueid also fell for it.

In matters of this kind, the innocent True Ancestor Princess was clearly less resistant than Gwen, who had awakened the Light of the Mind.

Or rather, because she was so pure in this regard, and had just enjoyed this pleasure last night, Arcueid, completely unprepared, fell for it.

Of course, normally this wouldn't have a significant impact on Arcueid.

It's nothing more than going out of control and razing Tokyo and the surrounding area to the ground.

Once this strange feeling is released, Arcueid will naturally recover.

However, Gwen obviously couldn't let this happen—

While this abnormal emotion can be released through a rampage, it also makes Arcueid has become dangerous in some ways since he started drinking blood, even more depraved.

What Gwen needs to do now is to channel this desire that shouldn't exist in Arcueid in the first place, and release it in a reasonable way—

With one hand holding down Arcueid, whose little hands were already starting to misbehave and pull at her clothes, Gwen's other hand was already glowing with the light of Corpse Qi, and he began to clean the filth that had stained Arcueid's soul.

Seeing this scene before her, Altrouge, equally bewildered, became even more confused—

"?"

Chapter 556 Sajo Midori: That's my room, mine!

"Perhaps she was ambushed, or perhaps she accidentally saw something unclean, Arcueid's soul has been corrupted."

Next, I need to focus on helping her expel that abnormality. Altrouge, please protect her for me.

Gwen shifted his gaze slightly from Arcueid, whose eyes were alluring, and saw Altrouge, who looked bewildered and even somewhat lost, and began to explain.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Altrouge quietly breathed a sigh of relief—

The moment she saw the two of them already rolled onto the bed, Altrouge almost wondered if she would end up lying on it herself.

Even if it's not shameful to submit to a god who can control you with one hand, Altrouge at least hopes that the moment can be a little more dignified, so that she doesn't seem so cheap.

Fortunately, although there was a slight mishap, it didn't seem to be the situation she hadn't hoped for.

"Yes."

As Altrouge stood up, her exquisite black dress cascaded down, and her crimson eyes scanned her surroundings, wary of any disturbance from the outside world.

At the same time, those eyes inevitably fell on the two people on the bed—

Although Altrouge herself had never done anything so tasteless, Altrouge had seen Arcueid in a similar state from other Dead Apostles and humans, which is why her first reaction was to lie down on it herself.

Altrouge was very curious about what kind of expulsion of anomalies Gwen mentioned.

Isn't this kind of abnormality something that can be resolved by going to bed?

With a subtle emotion in her eyes, Altrouge gazed at the two people on the bed and realized that she seemed to have guessed wrong.

At least, from Gwen's actions, Altrouge could not see any color of desire. Instead, she vaguely sensed that it seemed to be some kind of profound soul manipulation that she could not yet understand, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Gradually, Altrouge almost forgot the mission she had been given, her crimson eyes fixed on Gwen.

Throughout her centuries of wandering, while Altrouge primarily evaded the White Wing Duke's pursuit and recuperated from her injuries, she also continued to learn—

The pact with the Nights of Wallachia was partly motivated by the desire for the other party's knowledge.

Although Altrouge didn't quite understand Gwen's actions, she vaguely grasped the underlying principles. She realized that if she could understand them, she might see a significant improvement.

However, as time went by, Altrouge, engrossed in observing, failed to notice that what she was watching was gradually changing.

Until a certain moment, Altrouge felt an invisible force suddenly grab her body, and her body flew out uncontrollably.

Altrouge's body flew several meters horizontally, smashed open the door, and then, just as gravity disappeared, she fell back down, closing the door behind her.

Before Altrouge could even realize what was happening, Gwen's voice rang in her mind—

Is it pretty?

"I don't understand, can you slow down?"

Instinctively, Altrouge responded in this way.

"..."

Inside the room, having already completed the unusual tidying up to ensure it wouldn't cause any harm to Arcueid, Gwen, who was clearing the overflowing drain, froze—

"Okay, next time I'll reward you with a close-up view."

A harsh voice rang in her mind, abruptly bringing Altrouge, who was completely absorbed in her studies, back to reality.

After a moment's thought, Altrouge, realizing what she had done, covered her face with her hands, feeling a bit dizzy—

Good heavens, what did she do and say?

As her black skirt billowed in the wind, Altrouge instinctively leaped to her feet, wanting to go inside and explain to Gwen that her answer was merely a subconscious one and had no intention of offending him.

However, the seductive music coming from the other side of the door made Altrouge's hand, which was pressing the doorknob, freeze instantly, preventing her from opening the door.

Even through this door, Altrouge, with her excellent Remembrance and associative abilities, could still imagine what it looked like inside.

His good-for-nothing sister collapsed limply onto the bed, which was covered with delicately patterned sheets and had a girlish feel to it. Gwen held her hands tightly, her face flushed with excitement, and she uttered this rhythmic tone...

At this moment, Altrouge only regretted that she had such a vivid imagination.

Lost in thought, Altrouge's somewhat hazy eyes suddenly sharpened, and her expression stiffened—

Lost in her thoughts, Altrouge somehow replaced Arcueid in the picture with herself.

Even though she realized it the next moment, the connection still made Altrouge feel somewhat ashamed...

While the Black Princess of the Dead Apostle was humiliated and lost all face, a hint of chaos flashed in the eyes of Sayo Aika, who remained motionless in the passenger seat of the car like a fixed doll.

Although her frail body left her completely defenseless, the Imperial Princess of the Root was almost powerless to resist and was controlled by Gwen.

However, Gwen ultimately did not possess the power of time, and could not completely freeze time for the group.

While Gwen was busy helping Arcueid clear the waterworks, Sayo Aika had barely regained her senses thanks to her unusual behavior.

Subconsciously, the Imperial Princess of the Root asked the source what the current situation was.

Then, Sayo Aika saw the two people doing whatever they wanted on her carefully made bed in her bedroom.

Even though the image was very blurry, making it difficult for Sayo Aika to see the specific details, she could still clearly understand what was happening in her room from the blurry movements and the "Sayo Aika" on her bed.

At that moment, Sayo Aika felt as if her heart had died—

For the first time, even though he had sealed his abilities, he was still quite bored and could only amuse himself in a world where someone could bring him the unknown and happiness.

The first encounter with the unknown went so smoothly—a smooth conversation, a smooth journey home, enjoying both the thrill of anticipating the unknown and the happiness of success and joy...
