Yukino Yukinoshita 's eyes went wide, staring at him in disbelief.
So direct?
He's seriously going to make a move on her?
She instinctively tried to struggle.
But Andrew let go of her lips, smirking in a mocking tone."Is that all the determination you've got? As I thought, your sister Haruno is way cuter."
"Her resolve is much stronger than yours. You think this is enough to make me give up on Haruno?
Little Yukino, maybe you should just go home, eat more, take care of your body, and grow a bit more first."
As he spoke, his eyes flicked down toward her chest.
Yukino instantly felt insulted.
She knew she wasn't as talented or confident as her sister, and in front of her sister she'd always felt a little inferior.
But at least her face was cute… right?!
And yet… he just looked at her chest? With that condescending look in his eyes?
So irritating!
Although… well, she really couldn't compare to her sister in that area.
Still fuming and frustrated, Yukino saw him stand up, straighten his clothes, and wave his hand at her in a fake "dismissive" way.
"Forget it. You're not even prepared for this, and you're talking about trading yourself for Haruno?"
"Isn't it fine just to keep enjoying your sister's protection?"
"Relax. Even though your figure's a little disappointing, Yukino-chan, you're still cute. For Haruno's sake, I'll protect you too."
With that, Andrew turned to leave.
"Wait!"
His words made Yukino Yukinoshita grit her teeth in anger.
Being looked down on like that—being told her very existence was meaningless—
—being told she only deserved to live under her sister's protection—
To Yukino, it was the greatest insult.
She grabbed the demon's arm and shoved him back down onto the bed.
Then she leaned forward onto his chest.
"I can do it!"
The girl's lips clumsily pressed against his, her cheeks blazing hot from nervousness—she was so ridiculously cute it almost hurt.
It looked like Andrew had finally seen her determination. These two sisters really did have a deep bond… and it also gave him the perfect chance to take advantage.
Only… she was so clumsy!
Didn't he just teach her earlier?Why didn't she learn?She was miles behind compared to Haruno.
Andrew deliberately gave her a look of disdain, almost making the second young lady cry.
She only knew how to touch her lips to his—nothing else.
She had absolutely no knowledge in this area.
Feeling anxious and sad, she suddenly heard the man sigh.
"What a silly little beauty."
"Let me teach you. Watch carefully and learn."
With that, the bastard didn't hesitate at all—he pulled her into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her.
Yukino's eyes went wide. This guy—again?!
And… wait… did he… use his tongue?!
Panicking, she wanted to push him away, but then she thought about everything her sister had sacrificed… and forced herself to calm down.
Slowly, the atmosphere shifted.
Without realizing it, Yukino wrapped her arms around his neck.
Their lips began to chase each other.
Her breathing grew quick, her head dizzy and light.
It was like a whole new world had opened up to her.
She was learning—even if it was shameful knowledge she shouldn't be learning right now.
But if this could give her sister even the slightest chance at freedom, she was willing.
Besides… she wasn't an ungrateful person.
Right now… if letting him take advantage of her could be considered payment, then so be it.
The embarrassed second young lady closed her eyes, desperately trying to convince herself.
But Andrew threatened her shamelessly.
"Don't close your eyes. Look at me—look me in the eyes, or the deal's off."
Yukino's beautiful eyes snapped open, glaring at him in pitiful frustration.
Seriously?
How could he be this bad?
After everything she was already doing, he still didn't think he'd bullied her enough?
Andrew ignored her complaints.
Her current mix of humiliation and obedience was way too adorable.
So this was the joy of being the bad guy—it was surprisingly pleasant.
Yukino's eyes began to grow wet—partly from frustration.
But for her sister's sake, she still forced herself to meet his gaze.
Andrew's eyes gleamed with satisfaction, mixed with tenderness and heat.
He gently stroked her silky hair as he continued "teaching" her.
Once Yukino met his eyes, she felt a strange, tingling warmth in her chest.
Why… why did his gaze feel so gentle?
It almost looked like… he liked her.
...
But… if he actually liked her, why would he bully her so much?
Yukino Yukinoshita's thoughts were a mess. She wanted to close her eyes and look away, but the moment she caught sight of the sharp gleam in his eyes, she could only—feeling wronged and helpless—meet his gaze.
Her delicate body trembled even harder.
The weirdest thing was… she felt this strange tingling numbness all over, her body going soft, completely without strength. She could only lean against his chest, letting him hold her, letting him gently stroke her hair.
She didn't know how much time had passed before he finally seemed satisfied with teasing her.
Andrew reluctantly let go of her soft lips.
Yukino lay against his chest, breathing hard.
Her pretty little face was flushed bright red, making her look even more alluring.
"Demon… are you satisfied now?" she said between breaths.
"Hmm… barely," he said lazily. "You're too clumsy. I still have to guide you. You're nowhere near your sister Haruno's level."
Yukino gritted her teeth. "I'm already trying to learn, aren't I? What… what do you even want from me?"
Andrew gave a smug smile. "Alright, fine. I won't tease you anymore."
"Actually, I never used any tricks on your sister. I just signed a special contract with her."
"This contract doesn't harm her—in fact, it benefits her. For example, she can gain control over mysterious powers."
"As for your wish to break the contract… impossible. I won't hide it from you—there are only two ways: I die, or your sister dies."
"So, your idea will never work. I don't want to die. Or… do you want your sister dead?"
Yukino's mind went blank from his words. Her eyes filled up, and finally, tears spilled over.
"So you never planned to break the contract from the start… and you just played me like this?"
"Seeing me humiliated and desperate, begging you like that… did you feel proud? Happy?"
Seeing the hurt on her face, Andrew realized he had gone too far.
But who told the second young lady to come up with that kind of request herself?
Honestly, he just really wanted to kiss her.
And well… he couldn't hold back. So he went with it.
He sighed, gently stroked her silky hair, and said softly:
"It's not like I was happy about it. But you made me angry, you know? I paid such a huge price to cure you, and you wanted to get rid of me!"
"What price did you pay? My sister's the one who sacrificed!"
"If I hadn't paid the price, no matter how much your sister sacrificed, curing you would've been impossible."
"You… I…" Yukino shut her eyes, fuming.
She was mad at herself—because she couldn't out-argue him.
If she thought about it, trying to find an angel to force him to break the contract really was… kind of ungrateful.
And breaking the contract meant he'd die.
Just as she was stewing in anger, that infuriating voice came again by her ear:
"Yukino, since things are like this… why not sign a contract with me too? I could teach you even more things…"
As he spoke, his lips quickly captured hers again.
That was just the kind of man Andrew was—always pushing his luck, taking the chance the moment it appeared.
When Yukino snapped back to her senses and realized he was doing the same thing again, she finally exploded. She shoved him away hard.
"Get out!"
"I don't want to see you ever ag—mmph…!"
"Alright, alright, I'll leave for now. We'll continue later—ow!"
"Go die! You damn demon! Liar! Pervert! I hate you the most!"
She grabbed her panda pillow and hurled it straight at him.
Andrew "escaped" her room in a rather dramatic fashion.
Once his figure vanished, Yukino lay on her bed, covering her lips.
Her cheeks turned red again.
Strangely enough, even though she'd kicked him out in anger…
She now felt an odd emptiness.
And even… a bit of reluctance?
No way.
It had to be her imagination.
Definitely her imagination!
She hated being lied to the most.
And him—he didn't just lie, he kissed her like that, touched her like that.
"Demon, I'm not letting you get away with this! Just you wait!"
Clenching her teeth, the second young lady of the Yukinoshita family made up her mind—she was going to find the angel.
She wasn't planning to kill him, but she was definitely going to teach him a lesson.
Let him know a girl's heart isn't something you can just toy with.
"..."
