"Abandoning someone after seducing them? Where did you learn that phrase?"
Wuye withdrew his hand and covered his mouth as he coughed violently.
"Kotone said it."
Kaguya Otsutsuki innocently pointed at Kotone, who was watching the show. "She said that many human men are irresponsible. They trick women out of their feelings, trick them into giving up their bodies, trick them out of everything, and then abandon them in the end."
