Origami, You're Done For

He tried to communicate with her, and she said, "Liu'er knows, but Liu'er can't control herself."

He tried to distract her, but she said, "With my husband not here, nothing is interesting for Liu'er."

He tried sneaking away while she was asleep, and she immediately woke up and grabbed his hand.

"My lord, don't abandon Liu'er."

Higashino Makoto sighed, lay back down, and pulled her into his arms.

On the fourth day, things took a turn for the better.

In the morning, Higashino Makoto opened his eyes and found that Mukuro Hoshimiya was not lying on his chest.

She sat on the edge of the bed, wearing that white dress, her golden hair already braided and wrapped around her neck.

She turned her head, her golden eyes looking at him, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, like a cat waiting for praise.

"My lord, the performance is over."

Higashino Makoto sat up.

"What?"

Was Liu'er's acting good?

She tilted her head, a hint of cunning in her golden eyes.

"My lord, are you happy?"

Higashino Makoto looked into those golden eyes and remained silent for a moment.

What's going on?

Mukuro Hoshimiya got up from the bed and spun around.

Her skirt billowed up, revealing her thighs.

She stopped, put her hands behind her back, bent slightly, and looked up at him.

"Origami said that doing this would make the master happy. She said that the master likes clingy girls. The clingier the better. Tell Liu'er not to let go and to keep clinging to the master. Then the master will be happy and will like Liu'er."

Higashino Makoto's lips twitched slightly.

Origami!

You bastard!

I felt something was off when I was with Mukuro Hoshimiya. Although Mukuro Hoshimiya was known to be dependent on others in the original work, this clinginess was beyond normal.

So it was you who did this.

"What else did Origami say?"

She said that her husband likes women with good figures and that Liu'er should wear more tight-fitting clothes. She also said that her husband likes to be called "husband," and that he was from an ancient country in his previous life and liked that title.

Higashino Makoto took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

What else did she say?

She added, "The master probably enjoys being relied upon, which makes Liu'er act as if she can't live without him. She said that the master appears indifferent on the surface, but actually enjoys the feeling of being needed."

Higashino Makoto remained silent for a long time.

That Origami guy actually taught Mukuro Hoshimiya these things haphazardly.

He had initially found it strange that Mukuro Hoshimiya's gravity attribute far exceeded that of the original work; it turned out that someone was guiding him behind the scenes.

"Mukuro Hoshimiya, what else did Origami teach you?"

She said, "Don't tell Liu'er everything at once. Let the master discover it himself; that way, he'll be pleasantly surprised."

Higashino Makoto remained silent for a moment.

Why are you telling me this now?

Mukuro Hoshimiya tilted his head.

"Because Origami said that three or four days of performances would be enough; if it goes on for too long, the master will get annoyed. Liu'er doesn't want to annoy the master."

She walked up to him, reached out her hand, and gently took his hand in hers.

"My lord, were you happy with Liu'er's performance?"

Looking into her golden eyes, Higashino Makoto had to admit that this version of Xiao Liu did give him a different feeling, and he didn't dislike her.

"Happy."

"Real?"

"Really. But you don't need to act anymore, just be yourself."

Mukuro Hoshimiya's lips curled up slightly.

"Alright, Liu'er will obey her husband."

Higashino Makoto looked at his palm. The ninth seed had already begun to sprout.

Origami Tobiichi.

She secretly studied his preferences and then taught them to the other Elf Kingdom.

What is this guy thinking?

He decided to go find her immediately.

Let's go, let's go now.

Higashino Makoto stood at the door of Origami Tobiichi's house, raised his hand, but before he could knock, the door opened.

Origami stood at the door.

The white bunny girl outfit, with its tight-fitting satin fabric covering from the chest to the hips, features mesh cutouts on both sides that reveal fair skin.

She wore a rabbit ear headband on her head; the ears were white with pink linings, and slightly curved, just like real rabbit ears.

A black pet collar was around her neck, with a silver chain hanging down from it, dangling in front of her chest.

She held the other end of the chain in her hand and offered it to him.

"Master, I have been waiting for a long time."

Higashino Makoto looked at the chain, then at her expressionless face.

He reached up and slapped his face, wiping it from top to bottom.

His fingers glided across the bridge of his nose, across his lips, and paused briefly at his chin.

He took a deep breath, lowered his hand, and looked at her.

Origami stood still, the bunny girl outfit clinging to her body, revealing her curves.

Her expression remained unchanged, as if she were performing a task she had rehearsed countless times.

But Higashino Makoto noticed that her ears turned red.

The master truly lives up to his name; he really knows how to have fun.

He reached out and took the chain from her hand.

The metal felt cool to the touch in my palm. The chain wasn't long, about a meter, with the other end attached to a collar.

He gave it a gentle tug, and Origami leaned forward slightly, taking a step closer to him.

"Please come in."

She turned and went into the house, her high heels clicking on the floor.

The bunny girl outfit features a completely open back, revealing a smooth back. The spine extends from the neck to the waist, cinches at the waist, and then flares out downwards.

A short white tail was fixed to her waist, swaying gently with her steps.

Higashino Makoto followed behind her, pulling on the chain, feeling like he was walking a large dog.

The door closed automatically behind me.

Origami walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa.

The fabric of the bunny girl outfit shimmered softly under the light.

She crossed her legs, placed her hands on her knees, and straightened her back, her posture as upright as if she were attending a job interview.

If you ignore the choker around her neck and the bunny girl outfit she's wearing.

Higashino Makoto sat down opposite her, the chains hanging between them and falling onto the carpet.

He looked at the Origami, Origami looked at him.

"You know why I'm here to see you."

"Know."

"Then tell me."

"About Mukuro Hoshimiya, what I taught her."

Higashino Makoto leaned back on the sofa, arms crossed.

Why teach her those things?

Origami's expression remained unchanged.

"From your future memories, I know you complained that Mukuro Hoshimiya was too innocent and not fun with slightly excessive things. You said you hoped she would occasionally turn into a bad girl."

Higashino Makoto frowned.

He recalled that he had indeed had such a thought.

When he was with Mukuro Hoshimiya, looking into her innocent golden eyes, he did have the thought that it would be better if she were a little more wicked.

But it was just a fleeting thought, a mere instantaneous idea; he never uttered it aloud.

Besides, that happened in the last reincarnation, right?

The encounter with Liu'er this time gave me a huge surprise from the very beginning, and I would never have had such thoughts.

In other words, Origami also possesses memories from other timelines.

Or perhaps, Mio Takamiya once said, this was caused by instilling in the Elf Kingdom the idea of a future where she would marry them?

How did you know?

"In a future memory, you mentioned it when you were chatting with Mio."
