Chapter 97: You’re Going to Get...100Please respect copyright.PENANAkvUfH4NwR4
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.100Please respect copyright.PENANAQfbvCvXCa9
He instinctively took a step back and looked up at the room number...100Please respect copyright.PENANAQxZTe1PE1H
It was his own room, no mistake. The familiar scratches on the door, the worn-out welcome mat—it was definitely his.100Please respect copyright.PENANAR7fWBhBBGH
But could someone tell him what the hell was going on with the naked girl sleeping inside!?100Please respect copyright.PENANAkZBpTYyn0e
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.100Please respect copyright.PENANAT3aCye5eBd
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.100Please respect copyright.PENANA75ITTIIDVW
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.100Please respect copyright.PENANAT97AaluGv7
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.100Please respect copyright.PENANAtObHTAbGtg
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.100Please respect copyright.PENANAEMbcqXoHuK
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.100Please respect copyright.PENANAsm57xBWfgZ
Yes, Gabriel was only wearing panties on her lower half.100Please respect copyright.PENANAQiwwqi60NQ
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.100Please respect copyright.PENANAYupVG5QX6i
Of course, that wasn’t the main point.100Please respect copyright.PENANAq68DgHogMB
The main point was — why the hell was this lazy angel in his room!?100Please respect copyright.PENANAQiuXFaM6Ja
He’d only been gone one night, but why did it feel like a whole year had passed!?100Please respect copyright.PENANAuGHrfuVaXp
“Get up!” Kouya barked with a dark face, his voice sharp enough to cut through the silence.100Please respect copyright.PENANA8nndZttyuA
“...”100Please respect copyright.PENANAxtaIvG1QmC
The room stayed quiet. The only sound was the low hum of the computer and the angel’s faint breathing.100Please respect copyright.PENANAThf88gYzTQ
The lazy girl slept soundly, her golden hair scattered like silk over the pillow.100Please respect copyright.PENANAzzUf11lp6W
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.100Please respect copyright.PENANAygYCePDSsu
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.100Please respect copyright.PENANAinbMP8nn57
“Mm... you’re back...” Gabriel mumbled, covering her mouth with her hand, her voice drowsy and sweet.100Please respect copyright.PENANAkrtUYlZmQx
“Why are you in my room?” Kouya asked flatly.100Please respect copyright.PENANAm84Md65a7y
“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.100Please respect copyright.PENANAwCkdL9fweN
And then—100Please respect copyright.PENANAmwUiirOJLY
“Ah!!!” Her scream tore through the air like an explosion.100Please respect copyright.PENANA1akFfDtxnw
Shut up, lazy angel!100Please respect copyright.PENANAk4cED3V71z
You’re the one who broke in! Don’t act like I’m the villain here!100Please respect copyright.PENANACGLbisnvyU
And seriously, what are you even covering!? I’ve already seen everything!100Please respect copyright.PENANAEAXXiVH2Hd
That holy light of yours isn’t doing much of a job either!100Please respect copyright.PENANAKkRp5Yu2f3
And then, from downstairs, came an even louder shout.100Please respect copyright.PENANA3JBrLJIF7b
“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!!!”100Please respect copyright.PENANA656uqZoXA3
“...”100Please respect copyright.PENANAMI8iLz6QNq
Gabriel froze mid-scream. Her face turned bright red, the color rushing to her cheeks so fast it looked painful.100Please respect copyright.PENANAul4i2z0gXE
This building was old and cheap, with paper-thin walls. Her voice probably woke half the tenants.100Please respect copyright.PENANAvAfXMlizEh
After that awkward moment, Gabriel finally snapped back to reality, scrambling to grab her clothes and press them against her chest defensively.100Please respect copyright.PENANArLKHm70oqi
“Hentai! Don’t look! Get out!”100Please respect copyright.PENANA5QG7bJgQHT
Kouya nearly laughed out loud from frustration. You break into my home and strip down, and now I’m the pervert?100Please respect copyright.PENANAwiq3LMTIkZ
Instead of leaving, he stepped forward, looming over her. “I’ll ask one more time — why are you in my room?”100Please respect copyright.PENANALkgpJgo01B
“Y-you go out first!” Gabriel said weakly, her voice losing all confidence.100Please respect copyright.PENANAvPilrXxS3N
Kouya said nothing.100Please respect copyright.PENANAwZ7TJm9XHJ
Gabriel puffed her cheeks and shouted, “Kouya-kun, you really are a hentai!”100Please respect copyright.PENANA8f3qUavBgb
Of all people, you’re the last one who should be saying that!100Please respect copyright.PENANAePEhnWHXRe
You sneak into a guy’s room and sleep half-naked, and now you’re pretending to have morals!?100Please respect copyright.PENANAQOCsX8ReQz
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...”100Please respect copyright.PENANA1GTGeeKEWx
“Then stay at a hotel, damn it!”100Please respect copyright.PENANA9jpTknrOrp
“That’s not a reason to break into my place!”100Please respect copyright.PENANAkvaEE4EGCb
“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!”100Please respect copyright.PENANAQmwu755h7v
You idiot! You can’t even afford proper food, and you’re gambling on pixels!?100Please respect copyright.PENANALYgxuSDFDp
“So I called you to borrow some money...”100Please respect copyright.PENANAkuUyVlkypk
Knew it. That call wasn’t concern — it was a loan request in disguise.100Please respect copyright.PENANAaWYu3hJzML
“Where’d you get the key?” Kouya asked darkly.100Please respect copyright.PENANAEZv8RvCxZR
“I-I didn’t use a key!” Gabriel stuck out her tongue, pretending to look cute.100Please respect copyright.PENANAAjuThiQiuZ
“How did you get in, then?”100Please respect copyright.PENANADcdtlNO0ck
“Umm... from the balcony...” she muttered.100Please respect copyright.PENANAQkZzEihHna
You what!? Through the damn balcony!?100Please respect copyright.PENANAfoJ2j3R4ns
You know that’s illegal, right!?100Please respect copyright.PENANAHJfh74S1Nm
“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!”100Please respect copyright.PENANAyoN14rtOLp
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.100Please respect copyright.PENANAjnugsuz7du
“Takanashi-san?” he said through gritted teeth.100Please respect copyright.PENANA7KWI0Fnxkr
It took several tries before the girl stirred, mumbling, “The hero... mustn’t disturb the seal... cursed blanket... too strong...”100Please respect copyright.PENANA0gNBvwb04Z
And she went right back to sleep.100Please respect copyright.PENANAOnuuVTOshn
Kouya sighed deeply. This was his life now.100Please respect copyright.PENANAdko0Gbs6jz
He went back to the living room. “What did you two even do last night?”100Please respect copyright.PENANAHN4rGnxsk7
“Just played games...” Gabriel said meekly.100Please respect copyright.PENANABlEx1X3ANb
“And the snacks?”100Please respect copyright.PENANAsT5tSt9EvA
“When I game, I need snacks to stop myself from swearing!” she muttered, face flushed. “I’ll pay you back!”100Please respect copyright.PENANAf0KuGa7aRF
“Really?” Kouya said. “Didn’t someone just say they were broke?”100Please respect copyright.PENANAm3zUdBwnAI
“I-I’ll have money soon!” Gabriel huffed, turning away again.100Please respect copyright.PENANANqeg02b5l6
Kouya’s stare was blank and cold.100Please respect copyright.PENANARlDq91cJ3x
Gabriel clutched her clothes nervously. “W-What are you going to do?”100Please respect copyright.PENANA2a08iyedNb
As she asked, she subconsciously checked her halo — still dark, but her holy light was, thankfully, intact.100Please respect copyright.PENANAzo8vM4fME9
Kouya sighed again, rubbing his forehead. “You’re going to get dressed, clean this place up, and wake Takanashi Rikka. Got it?”100Please respect copyright.PENANAyGbk0JozNM
“Oh...” Gabriel pouted in defeat, nodding weakly.100Please respect copyright.PENANAKtgFQFsCQv
She picked up her clothes and turned toward the bedroom — but before she could move, the doorbell suddenly rang.100Please respect copyright.PENANAVCPhoxeThd
A familiar voice followed: “Kouya-kun, are you there?”100Please respect copyright.PENANAM1zv8u2AKj
“It’s Vigne!” Gabriel squeaked, her eyes wide, and she bolted into the bedroom like a cat caught stealing food.100Please respect copyright.PENANA3S2h6yOTCC
Hey! What’s with that guilty look!? Why are you hiding!?100Please respect copyright.PENANA7YOYiyxbZ5
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.100Please respect copyright.PENANAzFuB5nRkAz
“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?”100Please respect copyright.PENANAxyfT0aqLhh
She clasped her hands together and added with a hopeful look, “If you are, bring Kanna-chan too! I brought tons of snacks!”100Please respect copyright.PENANAfkdifFF1zc
Kouya breathed a little easier. Just as he was about to reply, Vigne’s expression changed.100Please respect copyright.PENANARAk1DQkHFa
“Kouya-kun, did you stay up all night gaming again?”100Please respect copyright.PENANAAp282cRxCK
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—”100Please respect copyright.PENANAG3wpMjuyiP
But she froze mid-sentence.100Please respect copyright.PENANASCWAvS7JZa
Because on the sofa lay a single black stocking.100Please respect copyright.PENANAt9GI2m2GJU
Damn you, Gabriel!100Please respect copyright.PENANAajGm2Mmzvy
You left your stocking behind!?100Please respect copyright.PENANAlTzakt2s5q
The air grew heavy in an instant.100Please respect copyright.PENANAGKFvPXd4Y7
Vigne’s smile disappeared. Her violet eyes narrowed, a cold spark flashing within them. “Kouya-kun... care to explain where this came from?”100Please respect copyright.PENANAGI17CVxXcH
“Well...” Kouya started carefully, sweat forming on his brow.100Please respect copyright.PENANAYIOMRLr4sL
And then, from the bedroom, came a soft feminine moan.100Please respect copyright.PENANAqlIL3E3YV4
