Chapter 227
The answer was unknown. Then I felt a heaviness on my knees. I looked down and, through my blurry vision, found two heads perched on my thighs.
One black and one gold, rising and falling slightly with their breaths—there was no need for wild guesses now.
It's because my senior and Hayasaka are asleep. Damn it, I haven't even had a chance to experience a lap pillow, and you guys have already taken the lead.
Despite his complaints, Yuki stopped reaching out, feeling only a blurry vision, a fragrant aroma filling his nostrils, and complete silence in his ears.
That's great...
With muscles completely relaxed, beyond the killing and survival, this is a different kind of experience.
Yuki dared not speak or move an inch, afraid of waking the two of them and interrupting this beautiful moment.
Everyone was tired and took a rare break during the journey, but where did Hiyori and Kaguya go?
With his face bound in white silk, he felt that the surrounding environment was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't pull his hands out or see clearly. However, this did not Yuki.
With just a flick of his tongue, he deftly pulled on the stockings in front of him, experiencing a unique sensation in his mouth. But before he could even savor it further, Yuki's pupils contracted slightly.
Huh? Am I home?
A cramped, simple room came into view. Apart from everything being brand new and the sound of the tides not being heard, it was no different from his rented room in Izu.
A thousand waves surged within her, and even her breathing became heavier. In an instant, she understood why Hayasaka had given her this treat.
This is a gift, a very thoughtful gift. Even I, who lived here for a whole year, couldn't make a one-to-one replica, let alone my seniors. Just choosing the exact same furniture from the list was a lot of work and effort.
"But I like this gift." Yuki couldn't help but smile. The rented room in Izu wasn't the one he'd lived in the longest, nor was it the most comfortable, but it held special and precious memories.
From preparation to execution, from the ordinary to the Transcendental Grade, from being alone to being in a large group.
Thinking of this, Yuki was slightly lost in thought. The Reincarnation Game brought him more than just beautiful girls; it also brought him friends like Iori Kitahara, the Tyrant, Zhang Jin, and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
For the previous ten years, because he didn't know when the 'end of the world' would come, Yuki deliberately avoided contact with anyone, for fear of being restricted in his actions when the time came.
So, I've made a huge profit.
Yuki grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. No wonder he had never regretted joining the Reincarnation Game, nor had he ever considered it his only game. The journey seemed to have no end in sight, but the scenery along the way was quite pleasant.
Killing intent?
As he was thinking, Yuki's smile froze, and he suddenly turned his head away like a tiger poised to pounce. This immediately made the girl who was peeking take half a step back and quickly look away.
Kaguya Shinomiya? Why would she have murderous intent?
Yuki sized her up, but before he could even begin to think, Kaguya mustered her courage and met his gaze.
Cold, angry, and somewhat disgusted, Kaguya slightly raised her head, her red eyes devoid of light, as if looking at scum. She moved her lips a few times.
With Yuki's strength, he instantly understood what she was saying.
You pervert.
Transformed? Me?
Yuki glanced at Hayasaka and quickly spat out the stocking from his mouth.
Okay, it is a bit perverted, but Hayasaka tied those stockings to my face on her Hayasaka initiative, so how can you blame me for that?
Yuki knew what the ice sculpture girl was thinking. She was too dependent on Hayasaka Ai, and in a sense, she was his rival in love. He usually eliminated characters with the word "enemy" in their names in a physical sense, but Kaguya Shinomiya was an exception.
"Shall we talk?"
Kaguya hesitated for a moment, glanced at the sleeping maid, and then tiptoed over, keeping a two-meter distance from Yuki.
"Closer, so you don't wake them up. Ugh, even closer, I can't just jump up and do anything to you like this."
Watching the young lady inch by inch move her feet, Yuki found it somewhat amusing. He had just opened his mouth to try and ease the tension between them when she preempted him.
"You must take responsibility for Hayasaka, and you can only choose Hayasaka between the two of them, otherwise I will absolutely not agree."
Take responsibility? I didn't do anything! And what's with you acting like you're part of the family?
This single opening caused Yuki to crash; his CPU was practically smoking from running at high speed.
Countless images flashed through my mind. I extracted memories, analyzed them, and quickly recalled the incident when I first entered the Outpost.
"You mean that incident? In an emergency, Hayasaka chose the most efficient way to give me the medicine. Okay, I admit there were other feelings involved, but it doesn't warrant making such a big deal out of it."
Yuki was really wronged; it only happened in a second, I didn't even have time to properly reflect on it.
As soon as she finished speaking, Kaguya blushed, and Yuki knew he had guessed correctly, leaving him speechless.
Why are you blushing like a teapot? Isn't that a little too innocent?
"That kind of thing... can't it be blown out of proportion?"
"But this is just the beginning. I'm planning to use my free time as a starting point." Yuki became more and more confused as he listened.
"A breakthrough? Do we even need a breakthrough?"
"Uh, what do you mean?"
Seeing Yuki feign ignorance, Kaguya clenched her fists, closed her eyes, and raised her voice. "Hayasaka is pregnant with your child, and you're still playing tricks!?"
She was furious, as if she felt sorry for her maid. This shout made Mai Sakurajima turn her head and rub her thigh against Yuuki 'Yuki, which made Yuki's eyes turn into beady green.
He blinked repeatedly, his CPU already in a cooling state due to overload. He stared blankly at Kaguya, whose face was flushed, for several seconds before tilting his head.
Ah?
The content was too terrifying; even a cunning old fox like Yuki had no clue whatsoever. Fortunately, he wasn't a useless protagonist, and his "CPU" quickly restarted.
Connecting to the preceding text, extracting keywords, conducting analysis, and drawing conclusions—
"You... do you think that Hayasaka kisses me, I'll get pregnant?"
"Isn't that right? What's so funny? Be serious." Kaguya exuded a chilling aura. She had finally found an opportunity to confront Yuki.
For Hayasaka's sake, I will confront this executioner with the utmost courage.
It's confirmed, that's the matter.
Yuki's lips twitched uncontrollably; if it weren't for his unusual posture, he would be rolling on the ground clutching his stomach right now.
Oh, I forgot, this young lady's sex education is worse than an elementary school student's. Ugh, I can't take it anymore, I'm about to lose control.
This isn't a matter of innocence; it's clearly a lack of common sense. The more she tries to act like an ice sculpture, the more she can't help herself and quickly pinches her inner thigh.
Hiss--
The pain made him swallow the laughter that was about to rise in his throat. As a seasoned schemer, how could he let such a wonderful misunderstanding go to waste? Besides, this young lady had forgotten the pain once the wound healed and dared to rebel against the Heavenly Gang.
Kaguya, is it? She must be punished properly.
"So what if it is, Kaguya Shinomiya? What effect do you want to achieve?" Yuki was still smiling, finally unable to hold back. "It's a fait accompli. Do you want to leave me with Hayasaka, or do you want to do me a favor?"
Right, what exactly do I want to settle with him about?
This immediately stumped Kaguya. Taking Hayasaka away was definitely out of the question. Putting aside the factor of the Reincarnation Game, Hayasaka was completely infatuated with this man and would definitely not agree to it, even saying such unseemly things.
Helping others achieve their goals? I'm so unwilling to accept it...
She thought and thought, but still couldn't figure out how to answer Yuki's question. Finally, she made up her mind. "Anyway, you have to take responsibility."
"Look at what you're saying! Haven't I been responsible enough? I've been working tirelessly for the team, when have I ever shown favoritism?"
Another critical hit, leaving Kaguya speechless. Yes, how was Yuki supposed to take responsibility?
Yuki's smile widened as she spoke up for her, "I know you're reluctant to Hayasaka. After all, you've been like sisters for over ten years, and even in the Reincarnation Game, she did everything she could to support you."
"It's normal to feel resentful when something you love is taken away from you. But you can't persuade Hayasaka, and you know it was her wish. As for Senpai, she's been very good to you, and you can't force me to hurt her."
The relationships between the group are a tangled mess, somewhat reminiscent of Aohito. No matter how cold Kaguya may seem, she is kind at heart.
She was jealous of Yuki, wanted Hayasaka to be happy, and couldn't bear to hurt Mai Sakurajima —it was a vicious cycle with no solution.
"Actually, I have a way to solve all your problems."
Just when Kaguya was almost in despair, Yuki spoke.
"Speak quickly," the girl said in a slightly commanding tone; she couldn't solve the problem herself.
Yuki raised her head, glancing at her black hair, snow-white skin, and flat chest; the smile on her lips finally vanished.
"How about your dowry?"
Ah?
This time, Kaguya was the one with beady eyes. She recognized every word in the sentence, but when put together, she couldn't understand it at all. She could only stare blankly Yuki explained.
"Look, this way Hayasaka is happy, Senpai won't get hurt, your wish is fulfilled, and you no longer have to worry about Hayasaka being taken away by me." Yuki spoke faster, and as she spoke, even she herself was moved:
"World peace is truly a cause for celebration."
The logic was so rigorous as to be impeccable that Kaguya's face flushed crimson, and she felt as if her tongue was about to tie itself in knots.
What kind of thought process is this? But at first glance, it actually makes some sense.
A dowry? No, I'm the young lady!
Kaguya's logic faltered from the start. She raised a trembling finger and said, "You... you're kidding me!?"
"That's right, I was just teasing you, because you were wrong from the very beginning, you idiot." Yuki instantly turned expressionless, looking quite frightening, interrupting the girl's anger.
Where did I go wrong?
Yuki remained silent, then snapped his fingers, and a cell phone was retrieved from his storage space, landing perfectly in the girl's palm.
Kaguya, who was already furious, Yoruichi and completely baffled as to what this meant.
Who told you that kissing can lead to pregnancy?
"Isn't that right??"
Yuki, so, adhering to the principle of seeing things through to the end and teasing people to the very end, he began to offer guidance.
"Open the file manager, select medical courseware, click on Western art, see that 12-minute video file? Click on it. This learning material has no foreplay, it goes straight to climax."
Just like the commanding tone used to clear a dungeon, Kaguya forgot her anger and followed along out of habit, and sure enough, she saw a video called "Sage Time".
This name sounds intriguing but is actually quite powerful. What on earth is he up to?
Kaguya had a vague sense of unease and secretly glanced at Yuki, noticing his serious expression. The last time she had this expression was during her battle with Adam.
"After reading this, you'll know how to get pregnant."
Gurgle.
Kaguya swallowed hard, calmly tapped the screen, and then...
"Oh yes."
"Baby, faster."
Heavy breathing came through the dual speakers. Yuki quietly looked up and saw that Kaguya Shinomiya was frozen in place, truly transformed into an ice sculpture.
She blinked, bewildered and deeply shocked. A blush crept up her snow-white skin, and the young girl opened a strange door, stepping into an unknown realm.
Just then, Yuki a light touch on his thigh.
"I can't take it anymore!"
Hayasaka Ai sprang up instantly, covered her face with her hands, and ran. She ran to the entrance, turned back, grabbed Kaguya who was still 'admiring' the art, and ran into the room by the side door.
Thump!
The door slammed shut, and the two truly fled like the wind, their speed surpassing even the 'Transcendental Grade' Yuki.
"Hahahaha, trying to mess with me? Uh..."
Yuki laughed first, then felt a slight pain in his cheek, and saw Mai Sakurajima's small face appear before him.
She had a smile on her face, appearing kind and gentle, but the more you looked at that smile, the more unsettling it became.
"Are you happy, Yuki?"
When a woman calls you by your first name, you'd better be careful. Yuki, Yuuki's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly explained:
"That silly beauty doesn't understand anything, Hayasaka before..."
Before she could finish speaking, Mai Sakurajima stepped forward and pressed down on her shoulder, a surge of intense, excited emotion erupting within her, causing her heart to race.
A water pump? Hmm, it's like a water pump.
For some reason, Yuki suddenly had a strange analogy, and as his heartbeat slowed down, all the muscles in his body relaxed.
It lasted a full half minute before Mai Sakurajima pushed his face away. Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest, and her fair face was flushed. Yet, she still stared at him like a queen.
