"Wow! This is so refreshing, golden, and bubbly wheat water, it's delicious!"

Leone, like a country bumpkin visiting the city for the first time, displayed an extremely strong curiosity about this modern world full of novelties. Clutching a can of ice-cold beer, she drank until her face was flushed, and every now and then, she would let out a series of exaggerated exclamations of surprise at the box-like device called "television" that automatically played images.

"Tch, what a mess! This house is way too small! It doesn't even have a decent training ground!"

Mine, on the other hand, played the role of "complainer" throughout. On one hand, she looked at the cramped apartment with an extremely disgusted gaze, and on the other hand, she couldn't help but stuff a piece of juicy fried chicken covered in sauce into her mouth. Her pretty face, which always carried a hint of arrogance, revealed a happy expression that was not what she really meant.

"Besides, that guy Gu Chuan is so stingy! He gave us a place like this to stay..."

Najendan, Hill, Chelsea, and the others were relatively quiet. They simply savored the delicious modern cuisine they had never tasted before, while observing this new "home," filled with an atmosphere of peace, with the keen, inquisitive gaze of an "assassin."

Rin Tohsaka sat in the main seat, looking at the chaotic yet heartwarming scene before her, which resembled a "night parade of a hundred demons." For the first time, her heart, which was always filled with calculation and pride, felt a bittersweet weariness called "home."

This family will probably never have a peaceful day again.

She thought to herself, feeling a bit of a headache.

185 The Loser's Cry and the King's Soothing

When the noisy dinner finally ended, the girls returned to their rooms under Rin Tohsaka's arrangement, and the entire apartment finally returned to a temporary tranquility late at night.

Gu Chuan did not rest.

He could sense the overwhelming negative emotions of "grievance" and "jealousy" accumulating behind the tightly locked door on the second floor.

Some things, ultimately, must be faced.

He walked to Eriri's door and, unsurprisingly, found it locked from the inside. He didn't knock; instead, he gently placed his hand on the cold door.

The next second, the intricate lock cylinder, under the unreasonable power of the "Dominator," automatically completed the "open" command.

"Click."

A soft sound rang out clearly in the quiet corridor.

Gu Chuan pushed open the door and entered.

The room was dark. Only the cool moonlight from outside the window shone through the gaps in the blinds, falling on the blonde girl with pigtails who was curled up in the corner of the bed, her head tightly covered by the blanket.

Her signature, always vibrant golden twin ponytails, now devoid of their usual luster, lay scattered messily on the pillow. A faint, suppressed sob lingered in the air.

"……go out."

From under the covers came Eriri's hoarse voice, thick with a nasal tone.

I don't want to see you.

Gu Chuan didn't speak. He simply walked silently to the bedside and sat down.

His silence seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"—I told you to get out! Don't you understand?!"

Eriri suddenly threw off the covers and sat up!

Her sapphire-blue eyes, always so proud, were now swollen and red, like two ripe peaches. Crystalline tears, like pearls from a broken string, rolled uncontrollably from her eyes.

She finally snapped.

"You... heartbreaker! You utter idiot!"

She grabbed the pillow beside her and, with all her might, slammed it hard against Gu Chuan!

"More...several more...how many women do you intend to bring home before you're satisfied?!"

"Have you ever considered my feelings?! Have you ever considered that this house is almost too small for us to live in!"

"I..." Her voice began to tremble uncontrollably, "Being next to you, I feel like I'm a complete, utterly superfluous, unwanted person."

"Loser!"

“They…each and every one of them seems so strong, so powerful…They can fight alongside you, they can go to those dangerous worlds that I know nothing about…”

"And what about me?! What can I, Er'er! Yingchanling (eight) Bei, do?!"

"I can only stay in this ridiculously safe home like a fool, helplessly waiting! I don't even know what you've been through!"

"I hate this! I hate feeling so powerless!"

She cried out in a hoarse voice, releasing all the grievances, anxieties, and jealousy that had been building up in her heart for so long, without reservation.

Gu Chuan neither dodged nor offered any explanation.

He simply let the soft pillow fall on him, and then quietly listened to all her accusations.

Until, her cries gradually became hoarse and weak.

Only then did he slowly reach out and gently wipe away the cold tear stains on her cheek with his fingertips.

"--sorry."

He spoke. His voice was low and deep, yet sincere.

"I'm sorry I made you feel uneasy."

Eriri was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected to receive not an explanation, but a direct apology.

"Don't...don't think that just because you apologize, I'll..."

She still wanted to say something stubbornly.

However, Gu Chuan gently placed a finger to her lips.

"Shhh."

"—Now, it's my turn to speak."

His golden divine eyes shone with an unprecedented, earnest light in the darkness.

"Eri, look into my eyes."

An irresistible, gentle spiritual force instantly enveloped Eriri completely.

The next second, what lay before her was no longer the familiar room filled with anime posters.

But -

It was that ominous and filthy "evil energy," like a tidal wave, sweeping across the entire capital in an apocalyptic scene!

It was that monstrous creature called "The Raider" that completely overwhelmed Esdeath, that woman who was as powerful as a god, and forced her into a desperate, suffocating battle!

It is that "data vengeful spirits" from a higher dimension, filled with malice, that are wantonly reaping the human spirit in the virtual world—a bizarre and terrifying sight!

Scene after scene, segment after segment, filled with blood, death, and despair, the most realistic and brutal fragments of the "doomsday scenario" flashed through Eriri's mind like the most realistic movie!

She was completely stunned.

She finally understood.

Each time this man "left," it wasn't the erotic and exciting "otherworldly harem journey" she imagined.

Instead, they were brutal wars fought with lives at stake, battles fought for survival.

"I admit, I'm greedy."

Gu Chuan's voice slowly rang in her ears, pulling her back from that immense shock.

"I want to protect all the family members I acknowledge. Whether it's Rin, Sakura, Nami, or everyone in NghtRad who just joined..."

He looked at Eriri, whose cute lips were slightly parted in shock, and whose golden eyes were filled with an unprecedented, absolute tenderness and responsibility befitting a "king".

"—Of course, that includes you, Eriri."

"I promise you that."

"As long as I am alive, I will absolutely not let you suffer any harm."

"This is my absolute promise as king."

Hearing that domineering yet indulgent, unquestionable declaration, Eriri was completely stunned.

She forgot how to cry, and she forgot how to respond.

a long time.

She blushed, turned her head to the side, and muttered softly in a voice smaller than a mosquito's buzz, full of arrogance.

"...Don't...don't think that just because you said these things, I...I will forgive you..."

Although, verbally, he still refused to admit defeat.

But at this moment, the heart that was filled with unease and jealousy was completely soothed.

“I…” She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind. She turned her head again, looking directly at Gu Chuan with her sapphire eyes, which were still red and swollen, but filled with an unprecedented and firm light.

"—I, too, will become stronger!"

"Teach me! Gu Chuan!"

"Teach me that power that can protect me!"

"I will never again be a loser who can only helplessly wait in the back!"

186 The Succubus's Troubles and Uncontrollable Love

While Gu Chuan was busy dealing with the sweet troubles brought about by the group of "new family members" in the apartment, another girl was also alone tasting the bitter fruit of "power".

The high school campus, as always, is filled with sunshine and youthful energy.

However, for Kitagawa Kaimu, this paradise she once knew and loved most now seemed to have become a minefield full of danger and unease.

She is experiencing the biggest social crisis of her life.

Ever since that shameful power called "succubus" uncontrollably awakened in the hotel last time, she has been deliberately avoiding Gu Chuan.

She was afraid of seeing his all-knowing, insightful gaze.

Even more frightening is facing my own heart, which beats wildly and uncontrollably whenever I get close to him.

She tried to numb herself with the idea that "it's just a side effect of the ability."

But the girl's intuition told her, with unwavering clarity—22

That deep, bone-deep throbbing feeling was real.

"Hai Meng? Hai Meng! Are you listening?"

Her friend's voice pulled her back from her thoughts, which were filled with pink worries.

"Ah? Ah! Sorry, sorry! I was just spacing out!" Hai Meng quickly flashed her signature bright, energetic smile, trying to hide her guilty conscience.

However, she didn't notice.

The moment she smiled, an invisible, faintly sweet, pink ripple of energy quietly spread out from her center.

That was not something she did intentionally.

Rather, it was the unconscious "leakage" of the "succubus power" that had completely merged with her soul, produced when she was emotionally fluctuating.

The next second, something unexpected happened.

The guy sitting in front of her, the usually shy ace of the sports club, suddenly blushed, turned around, and placed a bottle of chilled sports drink on her desk.

"Ki... Kitagawa-kun! Here, have some! It's very hot today!"

"Eh?"

Before Hai Meng could react,

The top student sitting next to her, who always wore headphones and had an unapproachable demeanor, quietly pushed a brand-new, limited-edition fashion magazine in front of her.

"...The latest issue. I just happened to buy an extra copy."

Immediately afterwards, more and more boys began to gather around her seat for all sorts of lame excuses.

People were offering snacks, handing out tissues, and some were even going so far as to demonstrate one-handed push-ups on the spot…

The entire back half of the classroom instantly transformed into a massive, bewildering courtship scene brimming with male hormones.

"Hey! I was here first!"

"Hai Meng doesn't like your lousy magazine! She likes this one!"

"Get out of my way! I'm going to show Hai Meng my newly developed abs!"
