Chapter 84: Go to the Police Station112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK6XtvFG33
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwEpNPRxNI
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..."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqjCtdlTLE
Yeah, thanks, I can see that!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJmHn3YmAd
And for the record, nothing happened here! Not a single thing!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7qdxM01KA
You people just have the worst timing imaginable!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc3Vk9Chao
"Lewd! Shameless! Hentai!"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5Fx9ENu6T
A cold voice pierced through the silence. Gabriel appeared behind Vigne, glaring down at Kouya like he was the scum of the earth.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bIXQX8mWc
Before he could even reply, another voice piped up, full of curiosity and excitement.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfmmzIQtHJ
"Eh? What’s going on? Let me see, let me see!"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl8onWZNnb
Satania’s red hair bobbed as she peeked inside, only to have Gabriel shove her face back out.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7yobHUMd0
"Don’t look! You’ll get a stye!"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbXGFzXdAS
"Huh? Why would I get a stye?" Satania asked, genuinely puzzled.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UEODe22Nc
Gabriel huffed, crossing her arms.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwclbK23gA
"Because it’ll stab your eyes like a needle, that’s why."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKDMCUaUxc
Stop lying through your halo, damn it!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOjYRux229
You personally grabbed it before—you know perfectly well it’s not sharp!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnmwEO3WdI
Rikka finally managed to stand up, still blushing fiercely, her voice small and shaky.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYQMYKxXT9
"D-Don’t misunderstand! We were just... just..."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDmAoIVWLs
Just your ass!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIGIQENXKY
For the love of everything holy, stop hesitating at the most suspicious part! You’re making me sound like a criminal!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvnAtQLJVs
"I’m telling you, it’s all a misunderstanding. Do you believe me?" Kouya said, his expression dark.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PdHndgETl
The scene probably looked bad, sure—but it was nothing like what they were thinking. There was nothing to feel guilty about.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ437hYAExrh
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzixKHz1bK0
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25UsoNvhWa
Still, her tone was icy as she said, biting her lip, "Kouya, please step outside. We’ll take care of Rikka."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY31gfLNIND
She hesitated, her voice growing heavier.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1etgktxLv
"And Kouya... even if Rikka is... a little unusual, that doesn’t give you the right to take advantage of her."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33Cr6ij7TF
Enough already!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSpCUsKMWe
She’s a chunibyo, not mentally handicapped! No one took advantage of anyone!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlO3j6jo7y
Kouya sighed and turned to leave—but then a loud gasp stopped him in his tracks.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfn6FkA1eg
"Wait!" Satania pointed dramatically. "There’s blood on the sofa!"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkzNITeZgt
"B-Blood?!"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53Augz6f9X
Vigne froze. The others immediately leaned closer. Sure enough, a faint crimson stain marked the leather.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfLW3Wngwb
Probably just from when Rikka’s knee reopened...112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZBaDI47Ep
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0oIRzQmBn
"If it was just a knee wound... then why is there blood up there?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCK4D15fW5
The room fell silent.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nXGfbEEYg
Every girl’s gaze locked onto Kouya, their expressions a mix of suspicion and shock.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlq2SbpDaz
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazxyDjkH9q
"Rikka... what happened exactly?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGcjXzJ6KL
Rikka puffed her cheeks, frowning. "It’s because Kouya was too rough earlier!"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI5Qzh3CyL
"W-What?!" Vigne’s voice cracked. Her face paled, and then her tone grew icy. "R-Rough?!"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQBgI7WPEk
The temperature dropped further, frost practically forming in the air.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsh5gQRkmv
Rikka blinked innocently, completely unaware of what she was implying. "He used so much force that it started bleeding again..."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYvtO3NYTU
Vigne lowered her head, shadows covering her eyes. The silence grew oppressive, heavy enough to crush air itself.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiJdUmcPHi
Hey, can you not phrase it like that?!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDYRyybQk4
I was cleaning your wound! That’s it!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFni5vw71e
"And Kouya also told me to cover my mouth and not make any noise..."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nGm7zAzEn
The temperature dropped to absolute zero.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cMI9nTWq3
Every girl’s expression darkened in unison.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSmupl6UjP
"Hentai!" Gabriel yelled, swinging her hand in a chopping motion. "Guess we’ll just cut it off!"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdqy9mWAj6
Cut off what, exactly?!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFWeW6fL7b
Are you still hung up on that time you accidentally groped me?!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmWzRsjhIf
Raphiel, normally full of teasing smiles, suddenly turned serious.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n8dRkg98S
"As much as I hate to say it, Kouya, using someone and pretending it didn’t happen... that’s awful."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXpRNpEZpF
Who did I use?!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GP3NeCOuc
I’m cleaner than tofu right now!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LgewRZxFQ
Kouya looked toward Vigne desperately.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eZQBDqFeW
You’re the rational one here—you won’t jump to conclusions, right?112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0btoZHnRaN
Vigne didn’t move. She just stared at him for a long, cold moment before parting her lips.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8eMbHp4zi
Her voice was calm, cutting, and final.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMZvjXihGt
"Go to the police."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmQzjKsqrW
Of course.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHvEG65jWr
Of course it’s Vigne.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCqgPvGdvg
Wait—WHAT?!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eseIsCBNz
Did she just say police?!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB1c9mXEMQ
Vigne turned away, her expression unreadable. Her gaze drifted toward the window, where sunlight glinted softly on the glass.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWNdeUeKGO
"If you turn yourself in, the sentence might be reduced..."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc7r3Sm2TB
"Pfft—" Kouya almost choked.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA0f1YR8qf
Fairness? Justice? Where the hell did those go?!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvdsLzGOpe
There’s no proof! How am I already guilty?!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ7AK4qxCD
This world’s gone mad!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3Cb84f6U8
...112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4FbzeDd7o
A few days later—it was Saturday.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIkRYyx8et
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcHSdIXm3s
Kouya tried to shrug it off. He’d seen worse. But even he had to admit—it stung a little.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSok5xUQco
That morning, just as he stretched and sat up in bed, his phone started buzzing.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRYmlCSGc9
"Kouya-sama! Are you free today?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIM0P2cTQP
The voice was bright and full of energy—it was Tohru, the dragon maid. She sounded practically wagging her tail through the phone.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmbtBjFd34
"Come have dinner at our new home tonight!"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswao8PSL4m
"I’ll think about it," Kouya said flatly.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8noXh79jSD
"Kouya-sama, the weather’s really nice today!"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFfAFvjvYD
"Mm."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqARPvY54vU
"Kouya-sama, it rained the other day! Did you bring an umbrella?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroArsjoYJw
"Mm."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANbkgo93uJ
"Kouya-sama—"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE4QFfoR5O
"Mm."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL3YEC5Pij
There was a pause... and then a loud pouty growl.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlVcTiIkRs
"Kouya-sama, you’re bullying me!"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfEJUEYdkJ
He sighed. "What did I do now?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRhKsdSJlI
"Why haven’t you asked me about the new house yet?!"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgjRNBU8Rt
Her voice rose, full of mock indignation.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf0IrZSja1
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b1Z9SFKR5
Fine. He’d humor her.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkRDatzmaK
"So... you moved?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbM4Qws7lK
"That’s right! We moved yesterday! Kanna, Kobayashi, and I found a gorgeous house—it’s so pretty!" she chirped, practically vibrating with pride.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEUmSQ3ayL
"And you didn’t ask me to help?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8YGWvKNmf
"We hired movers! Besides, it’s all girls’ stuff—it wouldn’t be proper for you to pack it!"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKigO48wdr
Her tone turned smug, almost singing with delight.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnGMKulx8g
"Now Kanna and I have our own rooms! Ehehehehe~"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhZj3Raosn
That giggle again!112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiJVZNq0ty
Even through the phone, Kouya could imagine her smug grin and wagging tail.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhqOWKsIXI
Before he could say anything, another voice came through the line, dry and annoyed.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsUpCSePqd
"Stop giggling like an idiot," said Kobayashi.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLti51yfrW8
"Kouya, I’m cleaning the place today, so come by tonight. We’ll celebrate the move with dinner, alright?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JEgZ9fB1a
