Chapter 56: Adventure in a Boy’s Room129Please respect copyright.PENANAYfF0WW52I4
Saturday.129Please respect copyright.PENANAwwZEd6tQ24
It was just past six in the morning. The first rays of dawn had only begun to spill across the rooftops of the quiet neighborhood, washing the city in faint gold. Birds were beginning to chirp softly in the distance, the breeze carried a faint chill, and the streets were still wrapped in the dreamy calm of early morning.129Please respect copyright.PENANAMgXjhZ3BDF
Then—ding-dong!129Please respect copyright.PENANAiJFzIjZIJ5
A sharp, crisp doorbell shattered the peace.129Please respect copyright.PENANAdF7i3ZBTd5
Kouya’s eyes snapped open. For a second, he wasn’t sure if he’d dreamed it. But the sound came again, ringing clearly through the thin apartment walls. It was sharp enough to feel like an alarm bell in the stillness of dawn.129Please respect copyright.PENANA8oUUX1sPh4
And, judging by the direction, it wasn’t his door—it was the one next door.129Please respect copyright.PENANA8zHllrzoLA
He groaned. “Vigne?”129Please respect copyright.PENANACQPbD4rH2T
The rhythm was too familiar. She always pressed the bell twice, paused, then once more—like a polite knock sequence. The last time she came over to check on the Scottish Fold cats, it had sounded exactly like this.129Please respect copyright.PENANARTIhJQtXPy
But at this hour, there was no way Gabriel would be awake. The lazy angel didn’t even open her eyes before ten on weekends.129Please respect copyright.PENANA0EAV4p8oik
Sure enough, after two more rings, silence. Then, as expected, a few moments later—129Please respect copyright.PENANAmSggQ3adOt
Ding-dong. This time from his door.129Please respect copyright.PENANA81EKv6keRI
Kouya sighed, dragging a hand through his messy hair. “It’s way too early for this…” He threw on a loose hoodie, slipped into his slippers, and shuffled toward the door.129Please respect copyright.PENANAXetmzc790D
When he opened it, the sight that greeted him made him blink twice.129Please respect copyright.PENANAjZQz3fbnCk
“Um, I rang Gabi’s bell a few times, but she doesn’t seem awake yet,” Vigne said softly, standing outside with an apologetic smile. Her long purple hair shimmered faintly under the morning light. “Would it be alright if we waited inside for a while? I didn’t want to disturb anyone else.”129Please respect copyright.PENANA8g06F9wyXq
“Good morning, Kouya-kun,” another voice chimed sweetly. That calm, lilting tone could only belong to one person—Raphael, the silver-haired angel who wore the face of serenity but the heart of mischief.129Please respect copyright.PENANAckzmAOTg5g
And just when he thought it couldn’t get worse, a third voice joined in.129Please respect copyright.PENANA4y7Bv2Oocr
“Hmph! What are you looking at?” the red-haired demon puffed up proudly. “Raphael begged me yesterday, so I, the Great Satania, decided to accompany her! You should be grateful for my divine generosity!”129Please respect copyright.PENANA59kqakoY3G
Kouya froze, staring blankly at the three of them.129Please respect copyright.PENANAEvaQzlBJgg
Are you kidding me?! You’re all here?!129Please respect copyright.PENANACrJ483zlDv
You said eight o’clock at the amusement park! It’s barely six! What kind of maniacs wake up this early on a Saturday?!129Please respect copyright.PENANAqCVmGqC9MA
Vigne tilted her head, smiling like a teacher reminding a lazy student. “Early mornings are good for you, you know. Oversleeping ruins your energy for the day.”129Please respect copyright.PENANA2rNF3yGESZ
“Yeah, yeah,” Kouya muttered, stepping aside and gesturing for them to enter. “Come in.”129Please respect copyright.PENANA5D6N707LZX
“Thank you, Kouya-kun.” Vigne’s politeness was flawless as always.129Please respect copyright.PENANAKBrxEQKc1O
“Eh?” Satania suddenly looked down at the entryway. “There’s a slipper missing.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAldT3IMUPGO
“I live alone,” Kouya said flatly. “Just come in barefoot.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAlwNpngRntU
“Oh, okay.” Satania obediently started to step in—but Raphael, of course, couldn’t resist.129Please respect copyright.PENANAWqGNF2zysp
“I’ve heard that boys’ rooms are full of mysterious and scary things,” she said innocently, eyes glinting. “If you walk in barefoot... you might get pregnant.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAkkiRmP92UR
“Pff—!”129Please respect copyright.PENANAaz8z7Xoqdw
Kouya’s jaw dropped. What kind of logic even is that?!129Please respect copyright.PENANAAgga3EtDAS
“W-Wait, seriously?!” Satania gasped, jumping back. “That can happen?!”129Please respect copyright.PENANAoSVVOEIzH9
“Raphael, don’t say strange things.” Vigne sighed, handing Satania her own slippers. “And Satania, no, that’s not possible.”129Please respect copyright.PENANA96XYlr4shK
“But Vigne, you’ll get pregnant too!” Satania cried dramatically.129Please respect copyright.PENANAIbZIJhfe4i
Pregnant, my ass!129Please respect copyright.PENANAF0wrOZ5S2u
Kouya pressed a hand over his face. How did this become my morning? “Just... come in already.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAIDmlXMM1pG
The three of them entered, their footsteps soft against the floorboards. Satania immediately began snooping around like a detective, poking at bookshelves and peeking into corners.129Please respect copyright.PENANAhC4dH247wN
“Hmph,” she said with a smug grin. “I expected a boy’s room to be filthy and chaotic, but this is actually... decent. Of course, it’s nowhere near as magnificent as my royal quarters, but I’ll allow it.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAt0aaLegFES
“Maybe,” Raphael said smoothly, tapping her chin, “Kouya-kun cleaned up last night. You know, hiding all the embarrassing things.”129Please respect copyright.PENANATLXdOUtniU
Satania blinked. “Embarrassing things?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAFjjh3atBlZ
Raphael smiled sweetly, raising a finger to her lips. “Like... dirty magazines, or adult toys~.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAt6Udh4p72x
“D-Dirty magazines?!” Satania’s eyes went wide as her face turned scarlet. “A-Adult toys?! Those exist?!”129Please respect copyright.PENANA7YOUQFwfZw
“Raphael!” Vigne scolded, cheeks flushed pink. “Stop saying those things! Kouya-kun isn… isn’t like that!”129Please respect copyright.PENANAaCSNK6ZaNC
That pause—why the hell was there a pause?!129Please respect copyright.PENANA0eMCOo4jCc
Even you doubt me, don’t you?!129Please respect copyright.PENANARTkcCb65Ts
Fine! Maybe I do have a secret collection... but it’s not what you think! It’s art! Refined culture! Historical preservation of the most forbidden anime scenes known to mankind!129Please respect copyright.PENANAF4uznnBZsm
You girls have no idea the danger you’ve stepped into. This is the lair of the former Demon King! According to every dark anime trope, this should end with me locking you all inside for a lesson in corruption!129Please respect copyright.PENANAE3ATMdhTjy
“Not necessarily,” Raphael interrupted calmly. “At school, I’ve received quite a few love letters from boys.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAaIWOQ9QqP5
“Good for you,” Kouya muttered.129Please respect copyright.PENANApwbCnhZgW3
“Some spray perfume on them. Others include rose petals,” she continued with an amused smile.129Please respect copyright.PENANA2yxixkvhVl
Corny, but harmless.129Please respect copyright.PENANA2cERep8mAj
“And some even leave snacks in my desk.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAFtmFrd3yZF
That’s just biology, Kouya thought. Sharing food’s a basic animal instinct.129Please respect copyright.PENANAEa1TAv8AMa
“But last week,” Raphael added with perfect calm, “someone left me a black pair of panties.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAiwSfOj90Bp
“WHAT?!” Kouya sputtered. “That’s not affection—that’s a felony!”129Please respect copyright.PENANAFpDqbv9v7m
Raphael smiled sweetly. “I had a pretty good idea who did it, too.”129Please respect copyright.PENANABJV3LPcUvm
No. No way.129Please respect copyright.PENANAGv96OhOqDg
“You didn’t...” he said cautiously.129Please respect copyright.PENANARAlWqt0iPw
“Oh, but I did.” Her smile widened. “I gave him a thank-you gift. He’s still recovering.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAX2ReXXBtfj
Kouya groaned. “You did turn him into a pig, didn’t you?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAZtEGlp1ZIs
“Mm-hmm~” Raphael hummed happily. “He oinked so realistically, too.”129Please respect copyright.PENANA0evhrmJS6v
Holy hell. That explains why that idiot didn’t show up for class Tuesday.129Please respect copyright.PENANAhKdXAXDPYW
“But,” she continued in a lower, teasing tone, “I really liked the style of that underwear. So I ordered another pair online.”129Please respect copyright.PENANA7RBVtxXh6o
“Raphael!” Vigne exclaimed, face bright red. “Don’t—”129Please respect copyright.PENANAu3xYY9nkEu
Raphael ignored her. “Kouya-kun... want to see?”129Please respect copyright.PENANA1XJqupc4kL
She wasn’t wearing her uniform today. Instead, a white blouse tucked neatly into a red-and-black pleated skirt. Her black stockings climbed just above her knees, leaving a slim, glowing band of bare skin between the two—a mesmerizing strip of light that could make anyone’s pulse skip.129Please respect copyright.PENANAPmM7kmiZKR
As she slowly lifted her skirt, that forbidden strip of skin expanded, smooth and flawless.129Please respect copyright.PENANAy19gSjy7Th
Vigne froze, mouth open. Satania’s brain short-circuited completely, her face going from red to crimson.129Please respect copyright.PENANA62kQ5hPXdi
Kouya squinted, crossing his arms. “Go ahead.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAhHUgb1BUz0
They locked eyes—Raphael’s playful smirk against his deadpan stare.129Please respect copyright.PENANAcyPmbM9acF
Three seconds.129Please respect copyright.PENANAV9OdIyqm7V
Five.129Please respect copyright.PENANAheTeolW4b9
By the seventh, Raphael’s face was bright red. She dropped her skirt in defeat, coughing awkwardly. “...You really are impossible.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAWaP41VAv2A
Kouya smirked. “Round one goes to me.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAueujKdJDNr
