Chapter 84: Go to the Police Station110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba6RbPpNqa
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E545FL8CH
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..."110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflYyMgu6gS
Yeah, thanks, I can see that!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4ydKk4gz4
And for the record, nothing happened here! Not a single thing!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6i8uU9DrP
You people just have the worst timing imaginable!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB9i8dYsP6
"Lewd! Shameless! Hentai!"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA46GGNk2l8
A cold voice pierced through the silence. Gabriel appeared behind Vigne, glaring down at Kouya like he was the scum of the earth.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3NQDfsPYG
Before he could even reply, another voice piped up, full of curiosity and excitement.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcyl3LwNnI
"Eh? What’s going on? Let me see, let me see!"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm99TTb56Lr
Satania’s red hair bobbed as she peeked inside, only to have Gabriel shove her face back out.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFtetSP7AR
"Don’t look! You’ll get a stye!"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBKvZUx0pb
"Huh? Why would I get a stye?" Satania asked, genuinely puzzled.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjLjrThQe9
Gabriel huffed, crossing her arms.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNDBtnh3FX
"Because it’ll stab your eyes like a needle, that’s why."110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iJRZPXFTF
Stop lying through your halo, damn it!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewC00xaiWL
You personally grabbed it before—you know perfectly well it’s not sharp!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7maph3ecA
Rikka finally managed to stand up, still blushing fiercely, her voice small and shaky.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4kCZrFpCX
"D-Don’t misunderstand! We were just... just..."110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVD2caB7Ve
Just your ass!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa2j7PNwEp
For the love of everything holy, stop hesitating at the most suspicious part! You’re making me sound like a criminal!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa9WL18iqM
"I’m telling you, it’s all a misunderstanding. Do you believe me?" Kouya said, his expression dark.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUzgqU7iUk
The scene probably looked bad, sure—but it was nothing like what they were thinking. There was nothing to feel guilty about.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ5B6P2Vc0
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NvGhzXlpj
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZhWPFWs8E
Still, her tone was icy as she said, biting her lip, "Kouya, please step outside. We’ll take care of Rikka."110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24Gh72seYF
She hesitated, her voice growing heavier.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzn4ZGREws
"And Kouya... even if Rikka is... a little unusual, that doesn’t give you the right to take advantage of her."110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTwhoLVUHx
Enough already!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QOCO14w9k
She’s a chunibyo, not mentally handicapped! No one took advantage of anyone!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKsk9O7oN0
Kouya sighed and turned to leave—but then a loud gasp stopped him in his tracks.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNYuwyFeld
"Wait!" Satania pointed dramatically. "There’s blood on the sofa!"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nB1FPdmkG
"B-Blood?!"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPKcNglhw3
Vigne froze. The others immediately leaned closer. Sure enough, a faint crimson stain marked the leather.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwrvt0y0UX
Probably just from when Rikka’s knee reopened...110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAOFYGXTKE
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDUzYJNvoJ
"If it was just a knee wound... then why is there blood up there?"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKZVN3kKcq
The room fell silent.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1nykzZ9E2
Every girl’s gaze locked onto Kouya, their expressions a mix of suspicion and shock.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZFrYMwIRL
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z25Q2bSQ9
"Rikka... what happened exactly?"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmYGZMH8Hu
Rikka puffed her cheeks, frowning. "It’s because Kouya was too rough earlier!"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPI0mwaG2D
"W-What?!" Vigne’s voice cracked. Her face paled, and then her tone grew icy. "R-Rough?!"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMBQwHqfco
The temperature dropped further, frost practically forming in the air.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7osnRtj4P
Rikka blinked innocently, completely unaware of what she was implying. "He used so much force that it started bleeding again..."110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GYbbPJLzX
Vigne lowered her head, shadows covering her eyes. The silence grew oppressive, heavy enough to crush air itself.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShzjJXR9CD
Hey, can you not phrase it like that?!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZexLkcX0xH
I was cleaning your wound! That’s it!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd26Rnbwu5
"And Kouya also told me to cover my mouth and not make any noise..."110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjokTlnXsj
The temperature dropped to absolute zero.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLRFrRIaWe
Every girl’s expression darkened in unison.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5nIo8axC1
"Hentai!" Gabriel yelled, swinging her hand in a chopping motion. "Guess we’ll just cut it off!"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsjRzT4dUh
Cut off what, exactly?!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VpXWDL7mZ
Are you still hung up on that time you accidentally groped me?!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu5KOmZXPc
Raphiel, normally full of teasing smiles, suddenly turned serious.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7proaVQ5B
"As much as I hate to say it, Kouya, using someone and pretending it didn’t happen... that’s awful."110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaQpY1L27J
Who did I use?!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn4WWeJAAS
I’m cleaner than tofu right now!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv7l8JNbmI
Kouya looked toward Vigne desperately.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3Td6zYhV2
You’re the rational one here—you won’t jump to conclusions, right?110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdR2npt37T
Vigne didn’t move. She just stared at him for a long, cold moment before parting her lips.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe15JJ3AEot
Her voice was calm, cutting, and final.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqA59PZBzJ
"Go to the police."110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlZ1KQbjDJ
Of course.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9Fhq3y54W
Of course it’s Vigne.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHeBvwoHuX
Wait—WHAT?!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47ZUuvSmnD
Did she just say police?!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfaXVZIlsX
Vigne turned away, her expression unreadable. Her gaze drifted toward the window, where sunlight glinted softly on the glass.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtCKmp3PkQ
"If you turn yourself in, the sentence might be reduced..."110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡircBMvuw5T
"Pfft—" Kouya almost choked.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNgi7fL0k3
Fairness? Justice? Where the hell did those go?!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWB14meAda
There’s no proof! How am I already guilty?!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh7JcjDJie
This world’s gone mad!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJdHSNPcJN
...110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyd20a0pu1
A few days later—it was Saturday.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKODgyOGfJ4
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP45xKeqD0A
Kouya tried to shrug it off. He’d seen worse. But even he had to admit—it stung a little.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbQ4awZm7x
That morning, just as he stretched and sat up in bed, his phone started buzzing.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIZ16Z4zvE
"Kouya-sama! Are you free today?"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYyUXrlcsn
The voice was bright and full of energy—it was Tohru, the dragon maid. She sounded practically wagging her tail through the phone.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVEAuGXmlF
"Come have dinner at our new home tonight!"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyHVBAj5Xy
"I’ll think about it," Kouya said flatly.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyyi1TcJ9u
"Kouya-sama, the weather’s really nice today!"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIhOLXLJKS
"Mm."110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubT4IUKyBx
"Kouya-sama, it rained the other day! Did you bring an umbrella?"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKeqxt4Jxk
"Mm."110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz5hdP3wbp
"Kouya-sama—"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOtbF3YllX
"Mm."110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lao5oHWoy
There was a pause... and then a loud pouty growl.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUwi03lHVx
"Kouya-sama, you’re bullying me!"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx5YalctwG
He sighed. "What did I do now?"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSswRvjgtr
"Why haven’t you asked me about the new house yet?!"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYvO366ih1
Her voice rose, full of mock indignation.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMrPdj8CqH
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko4N0Zz1iG
Fine. He’d humor her.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQzPE9wppC
"So... you moved?"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ01xuK7s4
"That’s right! We moved yesterday! Kanna, Kobayashi, and I found a gorgeous house—it’s so pretty!" she chirped, practically vibrating with pride.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NG5xVNMCq
"And you didn’t ask me to help?"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKgThZHzWJ
"We hired movers! Besides, it’s all girls’ stuff—it wouldn’t be proper for you to pack it!"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrfKzTFg20
Her tone turned smug, almost singing with delight.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj4hpWIFGI
"Now Kanna and I have our own rooms! Ehehehehe~"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS03GkpSGTx
That giggle again!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1JK6r7FDx
Even through the phone, Kouya could imagine her smug grin and wagging tail.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeF5P5aZuk
Before he could say anything, another voice came through the line, dry and annoyed.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqcp2Oohz7
"Stop giggling like an idiot," said Kobayashi.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BPNbgKVGG
"Kouya, I’m cleaning the place today, so come by tonight. We’ll celebrate the move with dinner, alright?"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlofwGkZUYX
