Chapter 84: Go to the Police Station111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtM3D0S3PW
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.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNMvS1t6n8
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..."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QpxNKmA6v
Yeah, thanks, I can see that!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lizH9zvLY
And for the record, nothing happened here! Not a single thing!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu00zP1mR5u
You people just have the worst timing imaginable!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLPlciptnQ
"Lewd! Shameless! Hentai!"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVHCyowFud
A cold voice pierced through the silence. Gabriel appeared behind Vigne, glaring down at Kouya like he was the scum of the earth.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonHmflnqLm
Before he could even reply, another voice piped up, full of curiosity and excitement.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGd7RHwvDB
"Eh? What’s going on? Let me see, let me see!"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhqhz17bCH
Satania’s red hair bobbed as she peeked inside, only to have Gabriel shove her face back out.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFqPsYzvfH
"Don’t look! You’ll get a stye!"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfpyVPRMfN
"Huh? Why would I get a stye?" Satania asked, genuinely puzzled.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4A9wYR3pm
Gabriel huffed, crossing her arms.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3DfGUVQVn
"Because it’ll stab your eyes like a needle, that’s why."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSTRvYlB4A
Stop lying through your halo, damn it!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfQeBFx542
You personally grabbed it before—you know perfectly well it’s not sharp!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hqf5pN9K2
Rikka finally managed to stand up, still blushing fiercely, her voice small and shaky.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNcIxXxqNW
"D-Don’t misunderstand! We were just... just..."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrBs0sjWXI
Just your ass!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji9V558ZhB
For the love of everything holy, stop hesitating at the most suspicious part! You’re making me sound like a criminal!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvC0iqwZF5
"I’m telling you, it’s all a misunderstanding. Do you believe me?" Kouya said, his expression dark.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr70ZarSbz8
The scene probably looked bad, sure—but it was nothing like what they were thinking. There was nothing to feel guilty about.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm93f1j3yX
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.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBxJOP9MYj
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.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ103rfVONgL
Still, her tone was icy as she said, biting her lip, "Kouya, please step outside. We’ll take care of Rikka."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoy2oojyEw
She hesitated, her voice growing heavier.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wrGr2mH1r
"And Kouya... even if Rikka is... a little unusual, that doesn’t give you the right to take advantage of her."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHKJXYphxr
Enough already!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxhW9FF0Ht
She’s a chunibyo, not mentally handicapped! No one took advantage of anyone!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0GCWqiSmd
Kouya sighed and turned to leave—but then a loud gasp stopped him in his tracks.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBqj6I1ngi
"Wait!" Satania pointed dramatically. "There’s blood on the sofa!"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuGunbhP2y
"B-Blood?!"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEF2ZFVRag
Vigne froze. The others immediately leaned closer. Sure enough, a faint crimson stain marked the leather.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fHEY1lxJb
Probably just from when Rikka’s knee reopened...111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVL0CJDhOp
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.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud5tJB4qmz
"If it was just a knee wound... then why is there blood up there?"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5SE5NMrmq
The room fell silent.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbEQOmf4Ef
Every girl’s gaze locked onto Kouya, their expressions a mix of suspicion and shock.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ckU6o2tFo
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.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ402b8J9iai
"Rikka... what happened exactly?"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlQNJeinNg
Rikka puffed her cheeks, frowning. "It’s because Kouya was too rough earlier!"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGT2tPo3Si
"W-What?!" Vigne’s voice cracked. Her face paled, and then her tone grew icy. "R-Rough?!"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsrVkLXbpr
The temperature dropped further, frost practically forming in the air.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLbykxaD3V
Rikka blinked innocently, completely unaware of what she was implying. "He used so much force that it started bleeding again..."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnQn4hX9n0
Vigne lowered her head, shadows covering her eyes. The silence grew oppressive, heavy enough to crush air itself.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfZ36yMJcQ
Hey, can you not phrase it like that?!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXaIsTHP0l
I was cleaning your wound! That’s it!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi16AfnxqC
"And Kouya also told me to cover my mouth and not make any noise..."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH5Yln12wT
The temperature dropped to absolute zero.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcLF8J1Dml
Every girl’s expression darkened in unison.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZSEquNc8Z
"Hentai!" Gabriel yelled, swinging her hand in a chopping motion. "Guess we’ll just cut it off!"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLcp6x3ROK
Cut off what, exactly?!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eHtQgHfIC
Are you still hung up on that time you accidentally groped me?!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HazypuzJy
Raphiel, normally full of teasing smiles, suddenly turned serious.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT1OmQeyuD
"As much as I hate to say it, Kouya, using someone and pretending it didn’t happen... that’s awful."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXq0h18YCI
Who did I use?!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPwMqDwR44
I’m cleaner than tofu right now!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROTO0yXyeI
Kouya looked toward Vigne desperately.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS9Q7bFcei
You’re the rational one here—you won’t jump to conclusions, right?111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZCek4aJWx
Vigne didn’t move. She just stared at him for a long, cold moment before parting her lips.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeKYjdOwxM
Her voice was calm, cutting, and final.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKQM2wVZSC
"Go to the police."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYf97Fbf24
Of course.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgNBtUGI4S
Of course it’s Vigne.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxAdmqyISj
Wait—WHAT?!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgjeUfiCxO
Did she just say police?!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId7YCIfamD
Vigne turned away, her expression unreadable. Her gaze drifted toward the window, where sunlight glinted softly on the glass.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpwoVwUNlY
"If you turn yourself in, the sentence might be reduced..."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5SvdjJ5kp
"Pfft—" Kouya almost choked.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZqtbq2Ijf
Fairness? Justice? Where the hell did those go?!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1KvHCrc7W
There’s no proof! How am I already guilty?!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2ysfrMNup
This world’s gone mad!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5uBgRsb2w
...111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCGnVYOHgl
A few days later—it was Saturday.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsIJ7luqFY
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.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv4vvmwidt
Kouya tried to shrug it off. He’d seen worse. But even he had to admit—it stung a little.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4PWb1kWQk
That morning, just as he stretched and sat up in bed, his phone started buzzing.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK9Qde2emB
"Kouya-sama! Are you free today?"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHOZqe3EA2
The voice was bright and full of energy—it was Tohru, the dragon maid. She sounded practically wagging her tail through the phone.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTFOMUjBiG
"Come have dinner at our new home tonight!"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMSCXrFwFK
"I’ll think about it," Kouya said flatly.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1FyxdVTmY
"Kouya-sama, the weather’s really nice today!"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKepcL6xn8u
"Mm."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnHAIU8rUz
"Kouya-sama, it rained the other day! Did you bring an umbrella?"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3old4t0m2
"Mm."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqY7AmMCQk
"Kouya-sama—"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoA1NSZUtl
"Mm."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZkkOhsih2
There was a pause... and then a loud pouty growl.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yOUeslc9u
"Kouya-sama, you’re bullying me!"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmaYbGHCHj
He sighed. "What did I do now?"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwlGaEp2qQ
"Why haven’t you asked me about the new house yet?!"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBpoXsCVFY
Her voice rose, full of mock indignation.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9YO6R7vQ6
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.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaIKD0PWO7
Fine. He’d humor her.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7cOyuujl8
"So... you moved?"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLVW2mhJvF
"That’s right! We moved yesterday! Kanna, Kobayashi, and I found a gorgeous house—it’s so pretty!" she chirped, practically vibrating with pride.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oIBW2wTmS
"And you didn’t ask me to help?"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzHHq7rxfs
"We hired movers! Besides, it’s all girls’ stuff—it wouldn’t be proper for you to pack it!"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfqtJ8wTh7
Her tone turned smug, almost singing with delight.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGyKTvUwgx
"Now Kanna and I have our own rooms! Ehehehehe~"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjtojAOk1A
That giggle again!111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfJtiufIQW
Even through the phone, Kouya could imagine her smug grin and wagging tail.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ryMNv4xGH
Before he could say anything, another voice came through the line, dry and annoyed.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkrGTPgqfM
"Stop giggling like an idiot," said Kobayashi.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkEkClrTKD
"Kouya, I’m cleaning the place today, so come by tonight. We’ll celebrate the move with dinner, alright?"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTEahN2Rgl
