Chapter 84: Go to the Police Station23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbjswPFo2p
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.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1SJxsDUQt
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..."23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBR6Nba1V6
Yeah, thanks, I can see that!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFxskz6oCq
And for the record, nothing happened here! Not a single thing!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6xWUVLTFC
You people just have the worst timing imaginable!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGEsqagstb
"Lewd! Shameless! Hentai!"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBI2gL2Pjn
A cold voice pierced through the silence. Gabriel appeared behind Vigne, glaring down at Kouya like he was the scum of the earth.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTvdQILrgk
Before he could even reply, another voice piped up, full of curiosity and excitement.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xjm76flra
"Eh? What’s going on? Let me see, let me see!"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgr4yvKRdX
Satania’s red hair bobbed as she peeked inside, only to have Gabriel shove her face back out.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWITq6K29tY
"Don’t look! You’ll get a stye!"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzQgCwTDWy
"Huh? Why would I get a stye?" Satania asked, genuinely puzzled.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohJOLMdGpM
Gabriel huffed, crossing her arms.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiB5JDJAsm
"Because it’ll stab your eyes like a needle, that’s why."23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgeVNRSW3A
Stop lying through your halo, damn it!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmgKnndEbi
You personally grabbed it before—you know perfectly well it’s not sharp!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzKYgvcfwc
Rikka finally managed to stand up, still blushing fiercely, her voice small and shaky.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jY2RAYccH
"D-Don’t misunderstand! We were just... just..."23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8PbB2MgxC
Just your ass!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatv5tMs7yO
For the love of everything holy, stop hesitating at the most suspicious part! You’re making me sound like a criminal!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7a42OX9bm
"I’m telling you, it’s all a misunderstanding. Do you believe me?" Kouya said, his expression dark.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSWVzrJ7ft
The scene probably looked bad, sure—but it was nothing like what they were thinking. There was nothing to feel guilty about.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRReTaOMHI
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.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi66C9fanFI
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.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47hOcSppiH
Still, her tone was icy as she said, biting her lip, "Kouya, please step outside. We’ll take care of Rikka."23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyMGkRKrzO
She hesitated, her voice growing heavier.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIEXfSOdP9
"And Kouya... even if Rikka is... a little unusual, that doesn’t give you the right to take advantage of her."23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI9KZG52AF
Enough already!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN810cevmtV
She’s a chunibyo, not mentally handicapped! No one took advantage of anyone!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0VgTEQi4L
Kouya sighed and turned to leave—but then a loud gasp stopped him in his tracks.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvko9XesKvr
"Wait!" Satania pointed dramatically. "There’s blood on the sofa!"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS655x5fTn
"B-Blood?!"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DSTY8jF1U
Vigne froze. The others immediately leaned closer. Sure enough, a faint crimson stain marked the leather.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBVOUgCVd0
Probably just from when Rikka’s knee reopened...23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5869RVsUG
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.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcvMF1yoiD
"If it was just a knee wound... then why is there blood up there?"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSuR7UfTbq
The room fell silent.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuQLgkTDjE
Every girl’s gaze locked onto Kouya, their expressions a mix of suspicion and shock.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW2Vf7EeXD
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.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQecezZPQg
"Rikka... what happened exactly?"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ264WHKVJ
Rikka puffed her cheeks, frowning. "It’s because Kouya was too rough earlier!"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctHdnP3buI
"W-What?!" Vigne’s voice cracked. Her face paled, and then her tone grew icy. "R-Rough?!"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQRt4VFqtR
The temperature dropped further, frost practically forming in the air.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2t2FAgzKD
Rikka blinked innocently, completely unaware of what she was implying. "He used so much force that it started bleeding again..."23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JPbqBwBn8
Vigne lowered her head, shadows covering her eyes. The silence grew oppressive, heavy enough to crush air itself.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqh5RnULNt
Hey, can you not phrase it like that?!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qhC3oVV8V
I was cleaning your wound! That’s it!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC22TttsQKT
"And Kouya also told me to cover my mouth and not make any noise..."23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIFBSoGhLN
The temperature dropped to absolute zero.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFfnCbtEDp
Every girl’s expression darkened in unison.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8sPzrLwB5
"Hentai!" Gabriel yelled, swinging her hand in a chopping motion. "Guess we’ll just cut it off!"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EeFL4w0TK
Cut off what, exactly?!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aCaTwIw21
Are you still hung up on that time you accidentally groped me?!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZBRfvTLWu
Raphiel, normally full of teasing smiles, suddenly turned serious.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOSRTxKj7Y
"As much as I hate to say it, Kouya, using someone and pretending it didn’t happen... that’s awful."23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuYYWZGQBd
Who did I use?!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6qW4Nd1zq
I’m cleaner than tofu right now!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj0XopJwIU
Kouya looked toward Vigne desperately.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx70DzYWA0i
You’re the rational one here—you won’t jump to conclusions, right?23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66oJE0thVv
Vigne didn’t move. She just stared at him for a long, cold moment before parting her lips.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNjvEX7jlV
Her voice was calm, cutting, and final.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8cWh3Wq90
"Go to the police."23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMOChCrzMf
Of course.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qbtBlx7gM
Of course it’s Vigne.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8oggUI8LG
Wait—WHAT?!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Thr4pYP7E
Did she just say police?!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtTXLkNdH7
Vigne turned away, her expression unreadable. Her gaze drifted toward the window, where sunlight glinted softly on the glass.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR46eMYwdt
"If you turn yourself in, the sentence might be reduced..."23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DeOEeN21t
"Pfft—" Kouya almost choked.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcjEGD4wE6
Fairness? Justice? Where the hell did those go?!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVhFlobYis
There’s no proof! How am I already guilty?!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mN6y78pWk
This world’s gone mad!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJW3sO2YQh
...23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas7Qd6fkWD
A few days later—it was Saturday.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85Mu6uB5SJ
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.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AhIEUXo4f
Kouya tried to shrug it off. He’d seen worse. But even he had to admit—it stung a little.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kFBK2Q2ZA
That morning, just as he stretched and sat up in bed, his phone started buzzing.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjc20XNgid
"Kouya-sama! Are you free today?"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cRZK13ZuU
The voice was bright and full of energy—it was Tohru, the dragon maid. She sounded practically wagging her tail through the phone.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgHGUhAJBm
"Come have dinner at our new home tonight!"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf2oMLdbiH
"I’ll think about it," Kouya said flatly.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshxMk6jTEW
"Kouya-sama, the weather’s really nice today!"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPj5Ded4sF
"Mm."23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlYIIeTwd9
"Kouya-sama, it rained the other day! Did you bring an umbrella?"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UlajTR5Nt
"Mm."23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LPzJgZubE
"Kouya-sama—"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM65IHjhq2B
"Mm."23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4Z3ZQqWTk
There was a pause... and then a loud pouty growl.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmUoy9nnVs
"Kouya-sama, you’re bullying me!"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QWz1EUrbg
He sighed. "What did I do now?"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCICDgaIDJ
"Why haven’t you asked me about the new house yet?!"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt6hvSddl3
Her voice rose, full of mock indignation.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC3tdToVJL
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.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd0xXZmqJR
Fine. He’d humor her.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWIu1Afhxt
"So... you moved?"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBpnZ0rku0
"That’s right! We moved yesterday! Kanna, Kobayashi, and I found a gorgeous house—it’s so pretty!" she chirped, practically vibrating with pride.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOwJVzpGqu
"And you didn’t ask me to help?"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdo40AdxFd
"We hired movers! Besides, it’s all girls’ stuff—it wouldn’t be proper for you to pack it!"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu329x5nxib
Her tone turned smug, almost singing with delight.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX7xAxSBsC
"Now Kanna and I have our own rooms! Ehehehehe~"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYjLIdh1ml
That giggle again!23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfKL66IXr8
Even through the phone, Kouya could imagine her smug grin and wagging tail.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH04EDQgJ7
Before he could say anything, another voice came through the line, dry and annoyed.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic6r0SL1t0
"Stop giggling like an idiot," said Kobayashi.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFeAumHhFA
"Kouya, I’m cleaning the place today, so come by tonight. We’ll celebrate the move with dinner, alright?"23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdB7t7O6Ef
