Chapter 84: Go to the Police Station59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtK6AbIQtO
The large infirmary went silent all of a sudden, the air thick with tension. The faint hum of the fluorescent light above was the only sound left.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NHxfQ0vQr
Vigne’s eyes widened as she stepped forward. Her face flickered between shock, hesitation, disappointment, and sorrow. Her voice trembled slightly when she finally spoke. "You... you two... what were you doing?! This is the school infirmary..."59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RuBiJqJWC
Yeah, thanks, I can see that!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3wHICrvSW
And for the record, nothing happened here! Not a single thing!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrwdzIFIgV
You people just have the worst timing imaginable!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmBy3s2fyH
"Lewd! Shameless! Hentai!"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dBKwOo3UH
A cold voice pierced through the silence. Gabriel appeared behind Vigne, glaring down at Kouya like he was the scum of the earth.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IURbkHNgG
Before he could even reply, another voice piped up, full of curiosity and excitement.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluzr4q1aO1
"Eh? What’s going on? Let me see, let me see!"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOje8qwU2E
Satania’s red hair bobbed as she peeked inside, only to have Gabriel shove her face back out.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpizq47mFO
"Don’t look! You’ll get a stye!"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnojJxiMhCi
"Huh? Why would I get a stye?" Satania asked, genuinely puzzled.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c8gj8E8f1
Gabriel huffed, crossing her arms.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCGmY39UfV
"Because it’ll stab your eyes like a needle, that’s why."59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt8hN3cnjC
Stop lying through your halo, damn it!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlhNOJKlrT
You personally grabbed it before—you know perfectly well it’s not sharp!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU3v9jT9GB
Rikka finally managed to stand up, still blushing fiercely, her voice small and shaky.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeWZAx5iop
"D-Don’t misunderstand! We were just... just..."59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6fCjAxMN7
Just your ass!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJVGwvIqAh
For the love of everything holy, stop hesitating at the most suspicious part! You’re making me sound like a criminal!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmrV264S4I
"I’m telling you, it’s all a misunderstanding. Do you believe me?" Kouya said, his expression dark.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXxF5C34XI
The scene probably looked bad, sure—but it was nothing like what they were thinking. There was nothing to feel guilty about.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8VOfZmPSs
Vigne took a slow breath, then walked further inside. Her sharp violet eyes swept over every corner. She examined both Kouya and Rikka, her gaze landing on their perfectly neat clothes. Her expression softened, if only slightly.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jQSQc581L
It was the infirmary, after all—a public space, with the door wide open. Nobody with half a brain would try something indecent in here.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwZcV1l9gP
Still, her tone was icy as she said, biting her lip, "Kouya, please step outside. We’ll take care of Rikka."59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAPEoCZZrx
She hesitated, her voice growing heavier.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M7PQGGXn1
"And Kouya... even if Rikka is... a little unusual, that doesn’t give you the right to take advantage of her."59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwSetAHZuV
Enough already!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFtJofGTFQ
She’s a chunibyo, not mentally handicapped! No one took advantage of anyone!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPpHwTHQRn
Kouya sighed and turned to leave—but then a loud gasp stopped him in his tracks.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcoBY1AAUZ
"Wait!" Satania pointed dramatically. "There’s blood on the sofa!"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9xYIkBaSR
"B-Blood?!"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4Jx2y7pw6
Vigne froze. The others immediately leaned closer. Sure enough, a faint crimson stain marked the leather.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwkR0Rk4RC
Probably just from when Rikka’s knee reopened...59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1zCmzVkQE
But before Kouya could even open his mouth to explain, Satania pressed her fingers to her forehead and spoke in a low, detective-like tone.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrvhgK9wnl
"If it was just a knee wound... then why is there blood up there?"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QoK4VeKiR
The room fell silent.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0pjUAmIFO
Every girl’s gaze locked onto Kouya, their expressions a mix of suspicion and shock.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS641XL9mGp
Even Vigne’s hand trembled slightly as she pressed it against her chest. The temperature in the room felt like it dropped by ten degrees.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pz4dJ43DS
"Rikka... what happened exactly?"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwG1WKjd5T
Rikka puffed her cheeks, frowning. "It’s because Kouya was too rough earlier!"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TNXko2VRO
"W-What?!" Vigne’s voice cracked. Her face paled, and then her tone grew icy. "R-Rough?!"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVuXzkQAUI
The temperature dropped further, frost practically forming in the air.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8viq5tWWmP
Rikka blinked innocently, completely unaware of what she was implying. "He used so much force that it started bleeding again..."59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9Qwyj6LzE
Vigne lowered her head, shadows covering her eyes. The silence grew oppressive, heavy enough to crush air itself.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pBT2ZFz2D
Hey, can you not phrase it like that?!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1RV1JbO2T
I was cleaning your wound! That’s it!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ehj94IbGU
"And Kouya also told me to cover my mouth and not make any noise..."59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpzJiavJl5
The temperature dropped to absolute zero.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xg25hIxyS
Every girl’s expression darkened in unison.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcY5dbvzGR
"Hentai!" Gabriel yelled, swinging her hand in a chopping motion. "Guess we’ll just cut it off!"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xr3eiBAfw
Cut off what, exactly?!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoHxziCFfr
Are you still hung up on that time you accidentally groped me?!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9f2IpShjs
Raphiel, normally full of teasing smiles, suddenly turned serious.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdfWhKb95c
"As much as I hate to say it, Kouya, using someone and pretending it didn’t happen... that’s awful."59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G7PwxezuC
Who did I use?!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeu6rtab8N
I’m cleaner than tofu right now!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk56zuOhu0u
Kouya looked toward Vigne desperately.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAvFmjgcXC
You’re the rational one here—you won’t jump to conclusions, right?59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7jEiOYxuv
Vigne didn’t move. She just stared at him for a long, cold moment before parting her lips.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kw0sBhMLP
Her voice was calm, cutting, and final.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSWc8NG1US
"Go to the police."59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuinwGR5ivS
Of course.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhTs33ooA2
Of course it’s Vigne.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0ClLuKSzd
Wait—WHAT?!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXiuWB8h51
Did she just say police?!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPM4vcqFrI
Vigne turned away, her expression unreadable. Her gaze drifted toward the window, where sunlight glinted softly on the glass.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRYPTFHYWZ
"If you turn yourself in, the sentence might be reduced..."59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBAhcz4ElX
"Pfft—" Kouya almost choked.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gBv0dNH0V
Fairness? Justice? Where the hell did those go?!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9md3aedIgI
There’s no proof! How am I already guilty?!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvV4E1UJ9Y
This world’s gone mad!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHycEt8NdSN
...59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpAVvFnYIe
A few days later—it was Saturday.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jkKSfyLgf
The misunderstanding had finally been cleared up. Everyone realized that Kouya had done nothing wrong. Still, the memory of that humiliating scene lingered. The girls’ gazes were cold, their tone curt whenever they spoke to him.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT10k7fe3f
Kouya tried to shrug it off. He’d seen worse. But even he had to admit—it stung a little.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrTXBn8ULg
That morning, just as he stretched and sat up in bed, his phone started buzzing.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NMI56yo78
"Kouya-sama! Are you free today?"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIgyWXEePI
The voice was bright and full of energy—it was Tohru, the dragon maid. She sounded practically wagging her tail through the phone.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmUaGjf48D
"Come have dinner at our new home tonight!"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFZxG491Cu
"I’ll think about it," Kouya said flatly.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufTjXcf0Il
"Kouya-sama, the weather’s really nice today!"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymuZPycGz8
"Mm."59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabu4e5oBLk
"Kouya-sama, it rained the other day! Did you bring an umbrella?"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynITSygSwK
"Mm."59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiZrHoWZHr
"Kouya-sama—"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZsLIyN88V
"Mm."59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRDbrGTIS0
There was a pause... and then a loud pouty growl.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy7EEEbztb
"Kouya-sama, you’re bullying me!"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7fmO5834P
He sighed. "What did I do now?"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfvONq5UsM
"Why haven’t you asked me about the new house yet?!"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurV6ZicXRU
Her voice rose, full of mock indignation.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0vxMR8YsY
Kouya could practically see her on the other side—tail swishing, puffing her cheeks, waiting for him to take the bait. For a dragon maid, she sure had mastered the art of acting like an overexcited puppy.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouJTjkpN4u
Fine. He’d humor her.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWcO2NWFal
"So... you moved?"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZXJ1JGx7P
"That’s right! We moved yesterday! Kanna, Kobayashi, and I found a gorgeous house—it’s so pretty!" she chirped, practically vibrating with pride.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEpgZJt3bl
"And you didn’t ask me to help?"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN8Cij3Dk1
"We hired movers! Besides, it’s all girls’ stuff—it wouldn’t be proper for you to pack it!"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2ss40zsjW
Her tone turned smug, almost singing with delight.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjlEmQlZJK
"Now Kanna and I have our own rooms! Ehehehehe~"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J9XcJIoBt
That giggle again!59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9UKwWGtyF
Even through the phone, Kouya could imagine her smug grin and wagging tail.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lfdhojEj9
Before he could say anything, another voice came through the line, dry and annoyed.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi3gzvw02T
"Stop giggling like an idiot," said Kobayashi.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ebKij3fIv
"Kouya, I’m cleaning the place today, so come by tonight. We’ll celebrate the move with dinner, alright?"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44vCl8zTS7
