Chapter 440: Certainty

In the yard of the Stardust Garden, Haruhime sat between the sibling duo of Saeko and Shiori. The sisters tended to her hair with care as if she was one of them. The siblings had taken to Haruhime's meek and sometimes daring demeanor and her fluffy fox ears.

This warm and cozy atmosphere got obliterated when a scream came from the manor.

Haruhime immediately got up and pulled out her daggers. “Someone is in danger.”

Contrary to her frantic state, Saeko and Shiori seemed relaxed.

“Who got impaled on the divine tower now?” Shiori whispered.

“Seems like Kaguya.”

“Let’s check it.”

Haruhime blinked her eyes at their carefree conversation as if someone had not just screamed like they were dying. They had to help the person, not speculate about their identity!

The siblings both gave a furtive glance to Haruhime.

“We shouldn’t take her,” Saeko whispered.

“Asahi-kun will accuse us of corrupting her.” She needs to learn these matters.

Saeko frowned, finding Shiori’s argument relatively weak. “We have to ask for Asahi-kun’s consent first…”

Haruhime felt out of place during their discussion, even more when they didn’t say a word to her and started walking. She clenched her daggers and followed them.

Thus began a slow walk through the manor corridors until Haruhime saw Alise and Ryuu standing outside a room. The two adventurers silently stared at the door, and Haruhime’s keen ears picked up Asahi’s groans and Kaguya’s moans behind that door.

“They are hurt!” Haruhime rushed forth.

Ryuu got startled by the sudden shout and bumped into Alise’s shoulder. The redhead pushed back the elf and stopped Haruhime in her tracks. Taking her hand, Alise began to walk away from the scene.

“Where are you taking me? I-I want to help them.”

Alise gave a long sigh and grabbed Haruhime’s shoulders. “Do you believe Onee-san?”

Haruhime nodded hurriedly. “I do.”

She had placed her utmost trust in Astraea and her subordinate, Alise. Asahi was also up there after constant hints from Astraea.

Alise pecked Haruhime’s forehead. “Then let adults handle this one.”

Haruhime groaned and nodded before she walked away.

‘I’m still not trusted.’

It pained her to see Alise acting unlike her usual warm self.

“Saeko, want to see it through the window?”

“Shut it, Shiori. Klyscha-sama will show up the recordings later.”

Haruhime’s ears perked up. ‘Window? I, should I check it?’

Haruhime looked around, and nobody was following her. She decided to peek at the situation inside the room through the window. She was going to get to the depths of the bizarre screams.

Haruhime rushed to the yard as soon as she turned the corner. She stealthily lifted the curtain and peeked inside each room until she stumbled upon the two figures in a dim room.

Kaguya was nearly naked on all fours. Her sweat-soaked face carried an expression of ecstasy, and her cries were that of happiness and pleasure rather than suffering. The dignified yet carefree adventurer Haruhime had turned into a crazed woman in an obscene kimono.

Asahi was behind Kaguya on his knees with his eyes closed. With his hands gripping Kaguya’s waist, he was handling her.

’W-What are they doing?’

For some reason, Haruhime felt like she shouldn’t be here, and she shouldn’t be looking at them like this or having any whiff of this strange smell in the room. But she couldn’t take her eyes off of Asahi’s half-exposed body. There was something magical about his torso. Hypnotic even.

‘Why is he doing that movement? Why does Kaguya Onee-san look so improper?’

Asahi pulled Kaguya with even more force as he groaned something. Kaguya threw her head back, her body spasming as if she was under torment. A scream came out of her mouth that vaguely resembled the first scream Haruhime had heard.

Just then, someone came from behind and covered her eyes.

“You shouldn’t be here.”

Haruhime recognized the calm voice. “R-Ryuu—”

Ryuu put her hand over Haruhime’s mouth while she stared inside the room. Kaguya breathed heavily in her pillow while Asahi stood behind her, his glowing cock covered in various body fluids. Ryuu was starting to become breathless. Despite telling Haruhime not to peek, she indulged in the very sin. Neither she nor Haruhime was supposed to be here. Yet, they were here as if fate had beckoned them.

‘It’s the second time I accidentally stumbled upon him like this.’

The first time was during the dungeon expedition, which was the morning Asahi confessed to Alise.

The second time happened when she followed Haruhime.

Asahi suddenly turned his head in her direction. His golden eyes looked straight into her soul as a mischievous smile flashed on his face.

“Ryuu,” he whispered in her head. “I see you.”

Ryuu swallowed audibly at Asahi’s teasing voice. His playful smile had a different effect when he was naked and Kaguya, her friend, lay across his bed with an utterly satisfied look on her face. 

The look on Asahi’s face delivered a powerful message—you will be like Kaguya soon, and you will be drowned in this very pleasure and lust soon. Ryuu’s heart pulsed with certainty. Her thoughts would become a reality, and she wouldn’t be able to reject him, for she also had her heart set on him.

Ryuu looked away from Asahi and dragged Haruhime back to the manor.
