That same night.
After everyone had turned off their lights and gone to sleep, Yuka crept stealthily into Raven's room.
She had changed into the black-stockinged maid outfit she had worn before, as she had noticed that Raven seemed to particularly like her in that attire. What Yuka wanted was to make the first move and deepen their relationship.
She paused near the edge of the bed, gazing at the soundly sleeping Raven. She admired his face at close range, a look of deep infatuation on her features.
"Mr. Raven…"
Yuka slowly leaned in, her soft lips approaching.
However, Raven, though his eyes were closed, had been awake the moment Yuka entered. He was only feigning sleep. He wanted to see what mischief the young woman was up to now.
The next second, he stopped thinking altogether.
His mouth had been covered.
At that moment, he didn't know whether to resist or what to do.
But then, Yuka's intensity grew stronger. She was like a person parched in the desert who had found a spring, seemingly intent on drawing out every last drop of moisture from his mouth.
The reason Yuka had become so bold was that she sensed Raven was awake. If he was awake yet didn't resist, what else could that mean?
A smile immediately bloomed on her face.
"Uh!"
Pushed this far by Yuka, Raven felt that if he remained indifferent, he wouldn't be much of a man. His powerful arm wrapped around Yuka, pulling her onto his chest.
It was a sleepless night filled with passion and desire.
In the next room, Saya also stayed up all night. Due to the poor soundproofing, she was clearly aware of what was happening. She hadn't expected Yuka to be so bold as to take such initiative.
As a result, the café had to suspend business for the day.
It wasn't until around noon that Raven and the others finally woke up.
Raven checked on Yuka's condition. Seeing no abnormalities, he felt relieved. It seemed the Amazon cells contained within his little tadpoles weren't easily infecting Yuka. Otherwise, if Yuka were instantly infected by the lysogenic cells and transformed into an Amazon, she could easily be swallowed by the urge to consume humans if her will wasn't strong enough.
"Mr. Raven, lunch is ready."
Yuka, still wearing the black-stockinged maid uniform, purposefully came to call Raven.
"Yuka, you don't need to keep calling me 'Mr. Raven' anymore," Raven said, feeling their relationship had changed, and he wrapped her in a hug.
"But… I like calling you that," Yuka whispered, resting her face against Raven's muscular chest.
"Well, suit yourself then…" Raven had no choice but to concede.
He then followed Yuka over to the dining table.
Saya watched the two of them being so intimate, a flicker of envy in her eyes, but no hint of jealousy. This was a chance that Yuka had proactively earned for herself.
Now that her relationship with Raven was confirmed, Yuka was absolutely beaming with smiles. If Saya weren't present, she likely would have already tried to do all the things a couple in the throes of new love would do with Raven.
Raven, naturally, looked quite awkward, casting a nervous glance at Saya. He wondered if last night's events had startled her.
However, he clearly underestimated the strength of Saya's inner resolve—she was, after all, someone capable of perfectly wielding Delta.
....
Meanwhile, at the Lucky Clover bar.
After a day spent brooding outside, Takuma returned utterly defeated, his spirit lost. The string of failures caused him to break down and cry.
Saeko Kageyama was not in the bar, which made him feel even worse. He had hoped she would be there to comfort him.
"Well, well, isn't that Takuma? Why are you crying all alone here?"
At that moment, a slightly cold voice drifted in.
Takuma's body tensed, and he immediately looked up.
He saw a young man with curly hair and an off-the-shoulder shirt walking toward him. This was Kitazaki, the strongest member of the Lucky Clover.
"Ki… Kitazaki."
Takuma jumped, instantly forgetting his tears.
"Where is Miss Saeko?"
Kitazaki walked closer, leaned down, and looked at Takuma with a strange, unnerving intensity.
"Sh-she should be out on a mission." Takuma spoke nervously.
"What kind of mission? Is it interesting?" Kitazaki placed one hand on Takuma's shoulder, causing a part of it to immediately begin sandifying.
"Mr. Kitazaki, please stop!"
Takuma was terrified. The rumor that anything Kitazaki touched would be destroyed wasn't a joke. Although they were both members of the Lucky Clover, the gap in their power was immense.
"Then tell me quickly, is there anything interesting going on?"
Kitazaki thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of tormenting Takuma.
