Chapter 97: You’re Going to Get...103Please respect copyright.PENANAe1kf01l3Lk
When Kouya came back to his senses, his first thought was that he had entered the wrong room. His hand was still on the doorknob, his mind blank for a few seconds as he stared at the scene before him, his pulse stuttering.103Please respect copyright.PENANA6JkYXjanrP
He instinctively took a step back and looked up at the room number...103Please respect copyright.PENANAGLmHnoPsaX
It was his own room, no mistake. The familiar scratches on the door, the worn-out welcome mat—it was definitely his.103Please respect copyright.PENANACwcytuSwjT
But could someone tell him what the hell was going on with the naked girl sleeping inside!?103Please respect copyright.PENANAhqEMzi4zNe
Kouya froze for several seconds before finally stepping inside with a dark expression, closing the door behind him as quietly as possible. The click of the latch echoed louder than it should have.103Please respect copyright.PENANAbotHDblL0a
The curtains were drawn, making the light in the room dim, only faint morning rays slipping through the gaps. The computer on the desk flickered with a cold white glow, illuminating the empty drink bottles, snack wrappers, and a mouse that still twitched from some auto-click macro. The faint smell of soda, chips, and girl perfume mixed in the air.103Please respect copyright.PENANAez2O8x5KK3
On the sofa lay a small, blonde, lazy angel — that was none other than Gabriel, the girl who found joy in poking people and skipping responsibilities.103Please respect copyright.PENANA2HYaktPBgQ
She was curled up quietly in a sideways position, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her breathing steady and soft. Her small chest rose and fell gently, the faint sound of her sleepy breathing somehow peaceful. Her sleeping face was so delicate and cute that it could almost make someone forget how infuriating she actually was when awake.103Please respect copyright.PENANAb3pT3R7snD
She wore a white frilled camisole, the thin straps hanging loosely from her shoulders. The neckline was slightly open, showing a glimpse of her delicate collarbone and smooth pale skin — and, from the shape beneath the thin fabric, it was clear she wasn’t wearing a bra.103Please respect copyright.PENANAJ86S40pf9a
Further down, her flawless legs — soft and pale like fresh cream — were exposed to the air. Her toes curled slightly in her sleep, the faint pink hue on them like flower petals. Her small, round feet rested over the armrest of the sofa as if she had kicked off her blanket halfway through the night.103Please respect copyright.PENANAJTLOw8LsVY
Yes, Gabriel was only wearing panties on her lower half.103Please respect copyright.PENANArR9cO4aPmD
A pink pair with a cat pattern and a little ribbon tied into a bow at the waist — a bow that looked as though it would come undone if someone so much as tugged on it.103Please respect copyright.PENANArj3jCuKblC
Of course, that wasn’t the main point.103Please respect copyright.PENANAMAYrpvU3ax
The main point was — why the hell was this lazy angel in his room!?103Please respect copyright.PENANAe19BUiYze9
He’d only been gone one night, but why did it feel like a whole year had passed!?103Please respect copyright.PENANAMLHWubudj1
“Get up!” Kouya barked with a dark face, his voice sharp enough to cut through the silence.103Please respect copyright.PENANAAuCgjtLeJg
“...”103Please respect copyright.PENANAHnb7vdY4RW
The room stayed quiet. The only sound was the low hum of the computer and the angel’s faint breathing.103Please respect copyright.PENANAFikUW1SIpy
The lazy girl slept soundly, her golden hair scattered like silk over the pillow.103Please respect copyright.PENANARl7cC9qmMu
Kouya’s lips twitched slightly, and with a sigh, he reached out — not for the tempting ribbon bow at her waist, but for her ear.103Please respect copyright.PENANAPh8L4JAHIm
Her long lashes trembled as she stirred, and she finally opened her eyes. Still half-asleep, she blinked lazily, her gaze unfocused, her lips parting in a small yawn.103Please respect copyright.PENANARyxVgeqcCB
“Mm... you’re back...” Gabriel mumbled, covering her mouth with her hand, her voice drowsy and sweet.103Please respect copyright.PENANAmevBfJ0SLw
“Why are you in my room?” Kouya asked flatly.103Please respect copyright.PENANAUmyEFUDSRx
“Eh? Your room?” Gabriel blinked, her expression slow to process. Her eyes wandered around the room, then back to the sofa, then down to herself.103Please respect copyright.PENANAzZoxvxLWUb
And then—103Please respect copyright.PENANAlvRbvkpdJU
“Ah!!!” Her scream tore through the air like an explosion.103Please respect copyright.PENANA95T3xK3Tx9
Shut up, lazy angel!103Please respect copyright.PENANAA8ewEDeAD0
You’re the one who broke in! Don’t act like I’m the villain here!103Please respect copyright.PENANA0sZNMdL4Zu
And seriously, what are you even covering!? I’ve already seen everything!103Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ4LY8wjDx
That holy light of yours isn’t doing much of a job either!103Please respect copyright.PENANAwj7qnnu1nw
And then, from downstairs, came an even louder shout.103Please respect copyright.PENANA4xBN4lzLvE
“Keep it down! It’s my only day off, and you’re screaming your lungs out! If you’re doing that kind of thing, bite on a damn towel!!!”103Please respect copyright.PENANARFK2WijpvX
“...”103Please respect copyright.PENANA44cRG1oI3x
Gabriel froze mid-scream. Her face turned bright red, the color rushing to her cheeks so fast it looked painful.103Please respect copyright.PENANA3UNwHRJYzY
This building was old and cheap, with paper-thin walls. Her voice probably woke half the tenants.103Please respect copyright.PENANAvhbnbvnDcx
After that awkward moment, Gabriel finally snapped back to reality, scrambling to grab her clothes and press them against her chest defensively.103Please respect copyright.PENANAXcekg3l5Cd
“Hentai! Don’t look! Get out!”103Please respect copyright.PENANAwrZLoHkybI
Kouya nearly laughed out loud from frustration. You break into my home and strip down, and now I’m the pervert?103Please respect copyright.PENANAjti070ltcT
Instead of leaving, he stepped forward, looming over her. “I’ll ask one more time — why are you in my room?”103Please respect copyright.PENANAtGtsYf50dT
“Y-you go out first!” Gabriel said weakly, her voice losing all confidence.103Please respect copyright.PENANAhaLLhFCQa5
Kouya said nothing.103Please respect copyright.PENANAmGv5FWnRe1
Gabriel puffed her cheeks and shouted, “Kouya-kun, you really are a hentai!”103Please respect copyright.PENANAXg28SlKCe0
Of all people, you’re the last one who should be saying that!103Please respect copyright.PENANAbsYWFMIkk9
You sneak into a guy’s room and sleep half-naked, and now you’re pretending to have morals!?103Please respect copyright.PENANAuZb3ykpxDv
They glared at each other for a long moment before Gabriel finally deflated, shoulders slumping. “I-I didn’t have a choice! My room suddenly lost power last night... the wires burned out or something...”103Please respect copyright.PENANAzi2HFcJyrZ
“Then stay at a hotel, damn it!”103Please respect copyright.PENANATAM02B7qEN
“That’s not a reason to break into my place!”103Please respect copyright.PENANAghUwf5hGF3
“I wanted to, but I’m broke!” Gabriel pouted. “When I was gaming yesterday, some jerk with rare gear started trash-talking me! I got mad and spent all my money on gacha pulls!”103Please respect copyright.PENANAGmmToEFhYZ
You idiot! You can’t even afford proper food, and you’re gambling on pixels!?103Please respect copyright.PENANAqW48m7tO5Z
“So I called you to borrow some money...”103Please respect copyright.PENANAOwKAuALQ0h
Knew it. That call wasn’t concern — it was a loan request in disguise.103Please respect copyright.PENANAckhd2fzr0Y
“Where’d you get the key?” Kouya asked darkly.103Please respect copyright.PENANAoxPbp6OH0N
“I-I didn’t use a key!” Gabriel stuck out her tongue, pretending to look cute.103Please respect copyright.PENANAd8ulmDBDUg
“How did you get in, then?”103Please respect copyright.PENANAM1AXzsCCGc
“Umm... from the balcony...” she muttered.103Please respect copyright.PENANAUr67IJFnWc
You what!? Through the damn balcony!?103Please respect copyright.PENANATzCasVIKlc
You know that’s illegal, right!?103Please respect copyright.PENANAN61iToytCk
“It was Takanashi-san’s idea!” Gabriel whined. “I was still thinking about it, but she pulled out a rope and said she wanted to explore the hero’s treasure vault!”103Please respect copyright.PENANAc5W4kxwnr5
Kouya’s face twitched. He turned toward the bedroom — and sure enough, he found Takanashi Rikka sleeping there, hugging a pillow like a cocoon, a line of drool trailing from her mouth.103Please respect copyright.PENANArk8D5pN145
“Takanashi-san?” he said through gritted teeth.103Please respect copyright.PENANAIFv2A3nONo
It took several tries before the girl stirred, mumbling, “The hero... mustn’t disturb the seal... cursed blanket... too strong...”103Please respect copyright.PENANAgnI3JE9ha1
And she went right back to sleep.103Please respect copyright.PENANAOX99SdvJkq
Kouya sighed deeply. This was his life now.103Please respect copyright.PENANA39o1h0uj9o
He went back to the living room. “What did you two even do last night?”103Please respect copyright.PENANA37K4gsbJuf
“Just played games...” Gabriel said meekly.103Please respect copyright.PENANAsWqUgYLr1n
“And the snacks?”103Please respect copyright.PENANAljzat4FdWr
“When I game, I need snacks to stop myself from swearing!” she muttered, face flushed. “I’ll pay you back!”103Please respect copyright.PENANAjx0m1U0mH7
“Really?” Kouya said. “Didn’t someone just say they were broke?”103Please respect copyright.PENANAFbPDYtWzHl
“I-I’ll have money soon!” Gabriel huffed, turning away again.103Please respect copyright.PENANAgUHeet9Yk8
Kouya’s stare was blank and cold.103Please respect copyright.PENANAP1wExEcQvZ
Gabriel clutched her clothes nervously. “W-What are you going to do?”103Please respect copyright.PENANAzCsq8dkf3E
As she asked, she subconsciously checked her halo — still dark, but her holy light was, thankfully, intact.103Please respect copyright.PENANA5bl68Fm2gd
Kouya sighed again, rubbing his forehead. “You’re going to get dressed, clean this place up, and wake Takanashi Rikka. Got it?”103Please respect copyright.PENANA3VUYiDOByU
“Oh...” Gabriel pouted in defeat, nodding weakly.103Please respect copyright.PENANAqHQ7CzGYMb
She picked up her clothes and turned toward the bedroom — but before she could move, the doorbell suddenly rang.103Please respect copyright.PENANAMW2ceUK2ia
A familiar voice followed: “Kouya-kun, are you there?”103Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZOSjXZdAA
“It’s Vigne!” Gabriel squeaked, her eyes wide, and she bolted into the bedroom like a cat caught stealing food.103Please respect copyright.PENANA57R4JIb1OV
Hey! What’s with that guilty look!? Why are you hiding!?103Please respect copyright.PENANAdya85LQtEY
Kouya went to the door and opened it. Vigne stood there, wearing a green blouse and blue jeans, a small bag slung at her waist. She looked neat and radiant, her smile warm enough to melt away the chaos inside.103Please respect copyright.PENANAxZwv9OsRSO
“We were supposed to take Kanna-chan out yesterday,” she said cheerfully, “but didn’t get the chance. So... Kouya-kun, are you free today?”103Please respect copyright.PENANA1FKrP4yyYG
She clasped her hands together and added with a hopeful look, “If you are, bring Kanna-chan too! I brought tons of snacks!”103Please respect copyright.PENANASW2t7UFSeL
Kouya breathed a little easier. Just as he was about to reply, Vigne’s expression changed.103Please respect copyright.PENANAtBJQhAmkN1
“Kouya-kun, did you stay up all night gaming again?”103Please respect copyright.PENANAZAPpp92kuo
She stepped inside, frowning. “Why is your place such a mess? Honestly... I’ll clean up a bit, okay? Just think of it as thanks for helping us last time—”103Please respect copyright.PENANAF5Q7luB2AJ
But she froze mid-sentence.103Please respect copyright.PENANAFe02EukBPJ
Because on the sofa lay a single black stocking.103Please respect copyright.PENANAYdv9ld38ZH
Damn you, Gabriel!103Please respect copyright.PENANAEy8qTPwE9R
You left your stocking behind!?103Please respect copyright.PENANA5z7EUEResS
The air grew heavy in an instant.103Please respect copyright.PENANAuAdDGItX11
Vigne’s smile disappeared. Her violet eyes narrowed, a cold spark flashing within them. “Kouya-kun... care to explain where this came from?”103Please respect copyright.PENANAwiHm47y258
“Well...” Kouya started carefully, sweat forming on his brow.103Please respect copyright.PENANA56FFkpUrS2
And then, from the bedroom, came a soft feminine moan.103Please respect copyright.PENANAuK9q86NFdd
