Chapter 84: Go to the Police Station109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEofvDk371
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.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmAcjEub8k
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..."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf6x8u1jaQ
Yeah, thanks, I can see that!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymdJkAfuxD
And for the record, nothing happened here! Not a single thing!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2FNR5Z6q7
You people just have the worst timing imaginable!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHUnXK05ms
"Lewd! Shameless! Hentai!"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVL4RfMNAE
A cold voice pierced through the silence. Gabriel appeared behind Vigne, glaring down at Kouya like he was the scum of the earth.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm1XbDNTwe
Before he could even reply, another voice piped up, full of curiosity and excitement.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWdiFTsWzw
"Eh? What’s going on? Let me see, let me see!"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HWj9XKKng
Satania’s red hair bobbed as she peeked inside, only to have Gabriel shove her face back out.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH6fE1rXuQ
"Don’t look! You’ll get a stye!"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGJdxM0O7t
"Huh? Why would I get a stye?" Satania asked, genuinely puzzled.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfygBGf6s3d
Gabriel huffed, crossing her arms.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kwz9yPwRm
"Because it’ll stab your eyes like a needle, that’s why."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxQGhZZd9X
Stop lying through your halo, damn it!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXAWUdwkq0
You personally grabbed it before—you know perfectly well it’s not sharp!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP87ogVTXF
Rikka finally managed to stand up, still blushing fiercely, her voice small and shaky.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjMH7QgklW
"D-Don’t misunderstand! We were just... just..."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAae1y1EfM
Just your ass!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhpdTySpP9
For the love of everything holy, stop hesitating at the most suspicious part! You’re making me sound like a criminal!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MYUHekMSd
"I’m telling you, it’s all a misunderstanding. Do you believe me?" Kouya said, his expression dark.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXclRNGd3g0
The scene probably looked bad, sure—but it was nothing like what they were thinking. There was nothing to feel guilty about.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qbM3KYI2A
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.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqg7qClGws
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.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG7nMOcBz8
Still, her tone was icy as she said, biting her lip, "Kouya, please step outside. We’ll take care of Rikka."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQtD6EvG5q
She hesitated, her voice growing heavier.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByzwl1Ys9J
"And Kouya... even if Rikka is... a little unusual, that doesn’t give you the right to take advantage of her."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApXLme8eKE
Enough already!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5M8jUt5vm
She’s a chunibyo, not mentally handicapped! No one took advantage of anyone!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpH0NfGAfG
Kouya sighed and turned to leave—but then a loud gasp stopped him in his tracks.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj61IV1qMeV
"Wait!" Satania pointed dramatically. "There’s blood on the sofa!"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt7YkVtIgL
"B-Blood?!"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZeBsYd65Q
Vigne froze. The others immediately leaned closer. Sure enough, a faint crimson stain marked the leather.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjNUksOxXI
Probably just from when Rikka’s knee reopened...109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscjqPx7EVt
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.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtnTZBPKxI
"If it was just a knee wound... then why is there blood up there?"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulMajWkHHb
The room fell silent.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WfAsWiydg
Every girl’s gaze locked onto Kouya, their expressions a mix of suspicion and shock.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikqgBjYJv0
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.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf7CCIBqiW
"Rikka... what happened exactly?"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44r18n01OL
Rikka puffed her cheeks, frowning. "It’s because Kouya was too rough earlier!"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yCKJf0qW0
"W-What?!" Vigne’s voice cracked. Her face paled, and then her tone grew icy. "R-Rough?!"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70l50ggizv
The temperature dropped further, frost practically forming in the air.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKVbDSw8FB
Rikka blinked innocently, completely unaware of what she was implying. "He used so much force that it started bleeding again..."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnCR1liEkf
Vigne lowered her head, shadows covering her eyes. The silence grew oppressive, heavy enough to crush air itself.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQxQB6R4dz
Hey, can you not phrase it like that?!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmRYLEOxbi
I was cleaning your wound! That’s it!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblVi8E1XBb
"And Kouya also told me to cover my mouth and not make any noise..."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DNbdOvdNv
The temperature dropped to absolute zero.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgyAygHNwX
Every girl’s expression darkened in unison.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K47TPn6oO
"Hentai!" Gabriel yelled, swinging her hand in a chopping motion. "Guess we’ll just cut it off!"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqB3Mh9hzr
Cut off what, exactly?!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjKMpLsTsj
Are you still hung up on that time you accidentally groped me?!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qHZbIDhR0
Raphiel, normally full of teasing smiles, suddenly turned serious.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQyNbFjpIj
"As much as I hate to say it, Kouya, using someone and pretending it didn’t happen... that’s awful."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXLW5G75H6
Who did I use?!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQC9wAbz5G
I’m cleaner than tofu right now!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpXWOojGiP
Kouya looked toward Vigne desperately.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5VwfzUY94
You’re the rational one here—you won’t jump to conclusions, right?109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQOZPXna2D
Vigne didn’t move. She just stared at him for a long, cold moment before parting her lips.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9nowEER2A
Her voice was calm, cutting, and final.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXkFDponYF
"Go to the police."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiKyRynLwU
Of course.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrmLWvCbjZ
Of course it’s Vigne.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPDH4cIk8E
Wait—WHAT?!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEcGgn7wPX
Did she just say police?!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmqtTKOZ3c
Vigne turned away, her expression unreadable. Her gaze drifted toward the window, where sunlight glinted softly on the glass.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIlVj6E4zD
"If you turn yourself in, the sentence might be reduced..."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTSwqGVchL
"Pfft—" Kouya almost choked.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhpa81Stw6
Fairness? Justice? Where the hell did those go?!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbkH8tVOLp
There’s no proof! How am I already guilty?!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqMQGe1XR3
This world’s gone mad!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUOJVDvoy9
...109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP0n4hRohW
A few days later—it was Saturday.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7EcWELFF9
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.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgNuVga7PD
Kouya tried to shrug it off. He’d seen worse. But even he had to admit—it stung a little.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcunMEd4PPA
That morning, just as he stretched and sat up in bed, his phone started buzzing.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenzvSv71Q8
"Kouya-sama! Are you free today?"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceBfKNOvXI
The voice was bright and full of energy—it was Tohru, the dragon maid. She sounded practically wagging her tail through the phone.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe1ozVit90
"Come have dinner at our new home tonight!"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v5iSZhaJU
"I’ll think about it," Kouya said flatly.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFCmAJJfFd
"Kouya-sama, the weather’s really nice today!"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIhUBhETwb
"Mm."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTZ0HcvwPT
"Kouya-sama, it rained the other day! Did you bring an umbrella?"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZqWGDqOtK
"Mm."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jCy2bH9Zs
"Kouya-sama—"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpoo8mIw6P
"Mm."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zo8JpIcf7
There was a pause... and then a loud pouty growl.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd0ppc707D
"Kouya-sama, you’re bullying me!"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULXcS1mF9M
He sighed. "What did I do now?"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3yRZCGHy4
"Why haven’t you asked me about the new house yet?!"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagtQeL0vBa
Her voice rose, full of mock indignation.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipHPNyUGvm
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.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcMPQ2RiY0
Fine. He’d humor her.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwr9aobDFs
"So... you moved?"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzLoN8EUuU
"That’s right! We moved yesterday! Kanna, Kobayashi, and I found a gorgeous house—it’s so pretty!" she chirped, practically vibrating with pride.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAYDouZHzD
"And you didn’t ask me to help?"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyq8WKj0Lp
"We hired movers! Besides, it’s all girls’ stuff—it wouldn’t be proper for you to pack it!"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIbejNgKe9
Her tone turned smug, almost singing with delight.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cJi7C3g38
"Now Kanna and I have our own rooms! Ehehehehe~"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHSnDZF6G1
That giggle again!109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIRJKXV0uk
Even through the phone, Kouya could imagine her smug grin and wagging tail.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vdauK4eq5
Before he could say anything, another voice came through the line, dry and annoyed.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHwzn5ZvMz
"Stop giggling like an idiot," said Kobayashi.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlzWZfcAYK
"Kouya, I’m cleaning the place today, so come by tonight. We’ll celebrate the move with dinner, alright?"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzklOgWnMU
