Chapter 177 - School Is...

"My... body's so sore... especially the lower part..."

Iesa fidgeted in embarrassment.

"Haha, it's because you're so wild last night. Let's go, I'll wash you."

Teren chuckled and carried Iesa towards the shower.

Afterward, they skipped the first half of school to clean Iesa's room and even the dining room.

"There! All clean!"

Teren said with pride, the place was like before he arrived. However, Iesa was not answering so he turned to her.

"..."

"Iesa, is something wrong?"

"Um... this..." Iesa glanced around before squeezing her words out, "I-I got horny from cleaning all that mess!"

"Ah... ahaha, but I thought you're sore?"

Teren laughed and hugged him down to the couch. Sitting on his lap, Iesa turned the other way.

"Yeah... but I couldn't help it."

Thinking that Iesa was too adorable, Teren tightly hugged her and bury his face on her chest.

"You should rest first. It's almost time for school."

"Then, later... come into my room, again, okay?"

Iesa whispered, sending a tingling sensation throughout Teren's body.

"Even if you don't say it..."

The two flirted the whole morning. Only when it was time for lunch did Iesa stood up from Teren's lap.

"Say... aren't we too flirty?"

Iesa suddenly asked.

"Now that you mentioned it."

"I mean, it's fine for me, even if we get used to it in public." Iesa hummed while she went to the kitchen.

"Yeah, I always thought that couples are way too shameless in public. But now... I know that they are still restraining themselves..."

Teren felt troubled by it.

After lunch, Iesa was surprised that Teren wasn't in his school uniform.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to meet someone up."

"It's... not a girl, right?"

Iesa raised an eyebrow.

"What? I don't know, but I'm going to have sex with other girls a lot so that we have to do it twice as many."

Teren smirked and teased but Iesa just frowned.

"Make it triple... no, quadruple!"

She demanded.

Seeing her so serious, Teren sighed. He walked to her and asked.

"Can't it just be you? If you don't restrict me, I will do it."

"No... you have to do it."

Iesa's face turned serious which made Teren a little sad.

"It's just one method, it wouldn't make much difference if I let go of the Incubus Spirit."

"And what if you lose and die?" Iesa asked, "The Devil Himself is not someone who should hesitate to use any method."

Teren held her hands and whispered.

"The Devil Himself is not someone who should fall in love in the first place."

"Hm?" Iesa didn't expect that to come out of his mouth so she panicked a little. The flow was destroyed and she let go of her serious expression and stepped forward, "It's fine. As long as I'm still your only one... even though I hate you, in the end, you chose me again. I don't think you will choose another girl over me, right?"

Teren's eyes widened. He was caught unguarded.

"Of course."

"Lina will be valuable. Go get her."

Teren paused for a while before nodding.

... fight fire with fire...

"Teren... I love you."

Iesa hugged him.

"I love you too."

Afterward, Teren set out to meet Alph.

On the other hand, a little later, Iesa reached the school and entered the classroom. Everyone's eyes were on her again. This time, she didn't need to ignore their thoughts because she didn't hear them. Even if she didn't though, she already knew what they were.

Unaffected by this, Iesa sat down in her seat. At the exact moment, Catherine walked over to her. She sat on Teren's chair since he's still absent.

"I know that you're with him earlier, what's he doing?"

"How can you say that we're together this morning?"

Iesa didn't fret over Catherine's investigative aura.

"Why else would you not go to school except if it's because of Teren?"

"You're talking as if one day of school is so important."

Catherine's eyes squinted upon hearing that answer. Somehow, she had something she had a firm grasp on. Something that she was sure about. She used it as a retort.

"I don't know... you and Teren are going to school as if it's a ritual."

But since she didn't have any conclusive evidence to support that retort, Catherine wasn't serious about it. However, she didn't expect Iesa to reply in a serious manner.

"School is... ordinary."

"Huh? What's does that mean?"

'Ordinary people like you wouldn't understand.'

Iesa thought and just stayed silent.

"Hmph! Being so mysterious and all, that's why Teren and you became a couple."

"Eh? A-are you saying we're an item from the start?"

Catherine looked at Iesa with judgmental eyes after this girl's aura just shifted a whole level with that one simple comment.

"Wow... you're so in love with him, huh..."

"No... I'm not... is it that obvious?"

"Stop blushing first before you deny it."

Catherine sighed. It seemed like her suspicion was right and the two of them actually met.

'I thought he didn't want Iesa to be in this? But now, he's keeping it from us and now he's meeting with her in secret.'

Iesa: 'Do you need to know everything he does?'

This time, Iesa looked into Catherine's mind.

"Ugh, whatever. Just tell him that I've finished my practice and I don't know what to do next."

Catherine went back to her seat.

Soon afterward, another girl approached Iesa.

"Good afternoon, Iesa!"

Lina waved at her with a smile which Iesa just nodded in response... as usual.

"Why are you absent this morning? As the class president, I'm worried about you."

"I'm fine now, I just overslept."

"Ah, thank god, nothing bad happened. Next time, take care of yourself."

Lina then sat on her seat.

'You bitch, you enjoyed Teren last night, huh? FUCK! I hope you die!'

Iesa couldn't help but smile at Lina's thoughts.

'I thought you're going to make him fall in love with you? Last night was your greatest opportunity. How come you even failed to give him your virginity?'

Lina: 'That's none of your fucking concerns! Soon, I will make him fall for me like a dog who can't live without his master!'

Iesa: 'Hm, but yeah, last night was the best.'

Lina: 'ARGHH!!'
