Volume Five: Return from the Other Shore - Chapter 495: The Proper Way to Wake Someone Up (Very Wrong)
"Yu He, I believe you wouldn't mind sharing some information with me."
"I remember her name was... Let me check... Oh? Urahara Sakura Dance. Her mother was the infamous Urahara Mai Ryu- ryu, who later died in an attack by several Special Class combatants. Her father's identity is unknown. Her combat strength is even greater than her mother's, and it's very likely that she was the one who killed the former Special Class Combatant, Stone Strike."
"Oh, thank you."
"It's rare to see you say thank you to anyone other than the Leader."
Gustav ignored Yu He's teasing and turned to Jili.
"... What do you want now, Gustav?"
"I also have a request."
"You've all been causing a lot of trouble today, hurry up and tell me!"
After leaving the Jili, Yu He sighed.
Although everything went as planned, unexpected factors still arose.
"'If things don't go smoothly with Yu He, I hope you can grant me permission to go out and take charge...' What is Gustav up to?"
Battle situation report.
The war, which began to be planned two hundred years ago and lasted for several years, has finally been extinguished today.
The casualties between the Revolutionary Army and the Papacy's army are completely one-sided. Although the Revolutionary Army also suffered considerable losses, it was not severely weakened overall, but the Papacy's army was in a different situation.
That day, the Royal Imperial Guard, along with the main forces and elite troops from various regions, which had been mobilized to Gloria, were all wiped out.
Of the three Goddess, only the sacrificial spirit survives; the Prayer and heavenly laws are missing and presumed dead.
All ten Templar Knight died; except for the Chief, who was supposedly buried by the Revolutionary Army leader himself, the others left no trace.
The entire city of Gloria was reduced to ashes, just as the name suggests, leaving not a trace, only a ground covered in crystal sand, a giant circular crater, and billowing smoke.
The war is over.
The Revolutionary Army, the Blood Blade Knights, led by the great revolutionary leader Nid Bradwich and with the help of Blood Emperor Ye, finally overthrew the tyranny of the corrupt Church and became the new masters of the West Saint Continent.
The Revolutionary Army has now transformed into administrators of various dioceses and provinces, and the former priests and bishops are now subject to life-or-death decisions based on their performance. A large amount of tax revenue accumulated by the Vatican over centuries has been released, with a significant portion used to appease the people. A provisional new constitution has been promulgated immediately, and other reforms will follow after the transition period. The foundation for benevolent governance is national stability and prosperity; in this era of rebuilding, everything requires financial support.
However, those were things the Revolutionary Army had to deal with.
Some people, exhausted from the continuous fighting, are now enjoying a peaceful night.
"Um..."
The warm, damp feeling on my chest woke me up; I felt like my body was being tightly bound, and my chest felt stuffy.
I tried to move my body, and a slight pain came from a certain point on my chest that I can't describe, like being lightly bitten by teeth, with a hint of comfort mixed with the pain.
Lick~~~
"Uh, hello..."
A tingling, spine-chilling sensation spread throughout my body. This must be a tongue, it absolutely must be a tongue! I don't remember Little Butterfly or Little Spider ever nursing from their mother, so this must definitely be—
"Let me sleep a little longer, Haoyue..."
"Ugh..."
She murmured and wriggled slightly, her hands and feet wrapping around me like an octopus, her thighs rubbing against my legs in a mysterious way. No wonder she's Miss Haoyue, who transforms into a sexual being in bed; she even makes strange movements involuntarily while sleeping.
But why isn't there blood on the sheets? If it were just a casual fling, the whole room would be covered in blood, let alone the bed. After all, I'm always the extremely sadistic and ruthless pervert who doesn't treat people like human beings once I get into it (as Haoyue says). It would be strange if things didn't turn upside down, right?
Thinking about it... oh right, I was so tired when I got back from work yesterday, while Haoyue seemed quite energetic. As soon as we met, she exclaimed, "It's common sense that after a big battle comes a big female battle!" and pulled me onto the bed. Since I was too tired to move, I ended up being the one being served for the first time.
"..."
So, what should we do now?
I feel so lazy.
I was so tense before, and now that I'm relaxed, I don't want to do anything, not even move.
"... If only I had a gentle and virtuous wife to bring me breakfast and wake me up."
What? Haha, of course not.
Regardless of who my best CP is, the monster of lust, Haoyue-chan, is currently lurking right next to me. Anyone who dares to come near is asking for trouble.
However, reality gave me a mocking response.
Squeak--
The door to the makeshift room was gently pushed open, and a figure nimbly slipped in.
For some reason, I subconsciously closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep, even adjusting my breathing to a sleeping rhythm.
"Sorry to bother you..."
That voice sounds so familiar, could it be...?
The person approached the bed quietly, and the sound of bowls and plates rattling could be heard. It seemed that the person was carrying a tray.
Wait, why am I suddenly getting this déjà vu feeling, like I'm being caught in bed with my lover by the wife the very next morning? Shouldn't Haoyue be the closest thing to the official couple?
A soft thud, the tray tapped against the bedside table, and then I felt a warm breath approaching.
"Get up, A Ye."
Her sweet breath brushed against my cheek, smelling like a mixture of gardenia and lime. Was it toothpaste? Or was it her own scent?
Push, push, soft, boneless hands gently touched my body, it felt so good, like being massaged.
"Breakfast is ready. Since I wasn't sure what A Ye's tastes like, I only made some toast, caviar scrambled eggs, and potato salad. Come on, get up and eat!"
Oh no, it smells amazing! It's just my gut feeling, but this guy's cooking skills are probably on par with Xiao Wu's!
"Hmm... I can't get up. There's no other way but to use that trick."
That move?
She heard rustling sounds, and the sound of breathing suddenly drew closer; it seemed as if she had bent down.
So this is how it goes... a good morning kiss? What a classic and classic development. Too bad, for someone like me who's already immune to all poisons from Haoyue, this move is completely ineffective. Don't think I'm some useless male protagonist who'd crash if a girl kissed me!
Come on, the kingly morning kiss is ready to kill! I'm all set! Let me enjoy it!
"Chirp--... Hmm?"
Something seems off.
"Chirp... chirp chirp..."
"Hmm... hmm? Xiao Ye...?"
I heard a groggy, half-asleep voice... wait, that voice... Bright Moon!?
"Chirp... gurgle... gurgle gurgle..."
"Mmm... Chu chu... No... Haa... Xiao Ye... Suddenly... a deep kiss or something..."
The kissing sounds gradually turned sticky and wet; just hearing them made my face flush and my heart race. Wait, wait, what? What's going on? Why am I not feeling anything? Why is it that the groaning coming from the sleepy Haoyue next to me is making those awful moans?
"Coo-choo... Hmm... Ha..."
"No... wait... today, Xiao Ye... is a little..."
"Hiss... Gurgle... Popo..."
"Mmm... Ah... Huff..."
"--give me blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I leaped up and forcefully pulled her away from Haoyue, but before my hand could touch her, she left Haoyue on her own. The projection flashed and disappeared into Haoyue's head. Haoyue, who was slowly waking up, suddenly fell back onto the bed as if the power had been cut off, and fell into a deep sleep again.
"Hey, good morning, A Ye! Did you sleep well?"
"What the hell!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hehehe, when it comes to waking someone up, the best strategy is to win their heart; this is one of the Thirty-Six Stratagems: feigning indifference to lure them into a trap.
I think I heard someone cursing the official account for being shameless? I can't hear it, I can't hear it~
