In the moonlit forest.
Mrs. Yukinoshita stared at Eri Kisaki for a moment, then opened her red lips and spoke earnestly. "If it's a matter of helping Asa-kun heal, there's no need to trouble Kisaki-san. Let me, his adoptive mother, handle it..." With that, she even pulled Asa closer into her embrace.
Hearing this, Eri Kisaki parted her red lips, her eyes twinkling. "Mrs. Yukinoshita, we are both intent on helping Asa-kun heal, so I have a suggestion..."
"Wouldn't the healing effect be better with two people?"
Heal Asa-kun together? Mrs. Yukinoshita's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly at Eri Kisaki's suggestion.
In the moonlight, a flush crept onto her dignified, pretty face. She was not unaware of the meaning behind helping Asa heal.
With her reserved and serious nature, she absolutely wouldn't have said what she did just now if Eri Kisaki hadn't tried to seize the initiative.
To even consider Eri Kisaki's current proposal... If the dense branches and leaves weren't obscuring most of the moonlight, one would see that Mrs. Yukinoshita's normally stern and composed face was completely covered in a blush.
"But Asa-kun is my..."
Just as the chaotic thought arose, Eri Kisaki took a long step and was instantly right beside the little shota. "If Mrs. Yukinoshita has concerns, then allow me to proceed."
Eri Kisaki was practically touching Asa. The subtle thrill that had made her mind and body tremble before began to resurface. Eri Kisaki pursed her red lips, her beautiful eyes almost glazed over.
"Asa-kun saved my life. Regardless of what it takes, I must cure his wounds!" Eri Kisaki declared righteously.
Hearing this, Mrs. Yukinoshita's chestnut eyes dimmed slightly. Even Kisaki-san can go this far for Asa-kun, yet I'm still being coy...
Moreover, seeing Eri Kisaki about to pull Asa into her embrace, Mrs. Yukinoshita felt a slight pang in her heart, as if she were about to lose something vitally important in her life.
Amidst these turbulent emotions, Mrs. Yukinoshita decided to cut the Gordian knot and follow her truest inner desire!
"No!" She also hugged Asa. "Let's help Asa-kun heal together. The effect should be better... If we're going to do it, we should ensure the best possible recovery."
Asa stood between them, remaining silent throughout.
He was a little confused. When had he gotten injured? How come he didn't know? Judging purely by the tone of the two mature women, he seemed to be quite seriously wounded—the kind of injury that needed immediate treatment or else he would be finished!
While the two women talked, Asa had been looking for a moment to tell them he wasn't hurt. By the time they reached a consensus to heal him together, Asa opened his mouth, then closed it, saying nothing.
He was probably injured...
No, he was definitely injured. And seriously!
To avoid any interruption to the healing process, the trio moved to a more secluded spot.
Thus, under the soft moonlight, the shadows of three bodies entangled together, and the trembling moans that carried the weight of lust, became the rhythm of the night itself — a fleeting moment where pleasure, warmth, and breath merged into quiet eternity.
....
Outside the forest on the hillside, Haruno waited anxiously. She trusted Asa's abilities, yet a faint, inexplicable unease persisted in her heart, as if something important of hers was being taken away.
After waiting for ten minutes, she sent Asa a text message. Ten minutes passed without a reply.
"Asa-kun must be fighting some kind of entity..." Haruno comforted herself this way.
After waiting for half an hour, she called her mother. Out of range! Her anxious premonition intensified. She brought up Asa's number, her elegant fingers hovering over the dial button. She had been afraid earlier that her call would interrupt Asa's fight, potentially exposing his presence and putting him in danger. But half an hour had passed. This time, Haruno couldn't hold back.
She dialed the number directly!
"Please, Asa-kun has to be okay!" she waited anxiously, praying in her heart.
The phone rang for a long time. Just as Haruno's heart was about to sink to the bottom, it connected!
"Asa-kun, are you alright!" Haruno was overcome with relief and joy.
"Haruno-nee, I'm fine..." Asa's voice came through the receiver. However, she could hear some other strange sounds.
Was Asa-kun fighting an evil spirit or demon or something? Thinking this, Haruno's heart tightened. She quickly lowered her voice and asked cautiously, "Asa-kun, what are those sounds? Have you found Mother and them?"
"Don't worry, Haruno-nee. Auntie Yukinoshita and Auntie Kisaki are right beside me."
As the words ended, Mrs. Yukinoshita's voice came through the receiver. "...Haruno, wait for us where you are. The situation is urgent... wait for us to come out..."
Haruno could hear her mother's voice was hurried and breathless, suggesting they were likely being chased by a demon.
"Okay, Mother, I'll wait for you!" Fearing she would disrupt the battle inside, Haruno quickly hung up the phone. At the same time, she let out a huge sigh of relief. It's good that everyone is safe!
Haruno waited where she was. A few minutes later, she didn't see Asa or the others, but another car pulled up.
"Yuuki... Mrs. Yuuki?" Seeing the arrival, Haruno quickly went to greet her.
"Haruno-san? How are your mother and Kisaki-sensei?" Mrs. Yuuki was wearing a fitted business suit and trousers, showcasing her fine, long figure while complementing her capable demeanor.
"I spoke to Mother a few minutes ago. They seemed alright, but they were being chased by something and were in great danger. My brother is also in there!" Haruno quickly relayed.
Mrs. Yuuki's brow furrowed slightly at this. She looked at the girl beside her. "Kanroji-san, I'm counting on you!"
It was then that Haruno turned her attention to the girl next to Mrs. Yuuki. She had delicate and adorable features, and unique light-green eyes and eyebrows. Her pink hair, with its green tips, was especially noticeable in the dark. Oh, and that imposing chest beneath her half-open uniform.
"A sword?" Haruno noticed the sword in the hand of the girl called Kanroji.
"Haruno-san, this is Kanroji Mitsuri-san, the Love Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps!"
The Demon Slayer Corps? Haruno's heart skipped a beat. In this era, powerful families would often support certain organizations so they would have people to deal with demons and supernatural events. Was the Demon Slayer Corps the organization supported by the Yuuki family?
Haruno shook hands with Mitsuri. "My mother and brother are in your hands."
"I'll do my best!" Mitsuri nodded. She twitched her delicate nose, looking into the forest with slight gravity.
"The smell of blood is very heavy. This is undoubtedly a demon gathering spot."
"It might even be one of the Twelve Kizuki..."
After murmuring softly, Mitsuri moved quickly, leaping into the forest.
