Chapter 242: Midnight Secret Rendezvous (4)

Chapter 242: Midnight Secret Rendezvous (4)Victoria Evatrice sunk her thoughts deep into her mind.

This was one of the things she once learned in the past; If she found herself in a situation where she could get extremely angry, that meant it was the situation where she had to stay cool-headed the most.

Even though the person who taught her that was smiling foolishly next to the person who angered her so much, she didn’t care.

“...”

Gripping the two daggers tightly in her hands, she took a deep breath.

Then, she erased her emotions and raised the sensitivity of her senses to its fullest.

All while keeping her head cool, just like a calm lake without a single ripple.

With her sharpened mind, she fixed her gaze on her damn sister—the person that she said she would kill over and over again.

But, her sister was currently...

“...Hehehehe.”

“...”

...Laughing like a lunatic in a dazed expression.

It was as if she didn’t seem to care about her at all. If someone who didn’t know what happened were to see this, they’d probably think that she was mocking her.

Of course, that was also what Victoria felt after hearing her laugh.

...Is she looking down on me?

A sudden anger immediately burst out from the depths of her stomach.

Her sister had always been ahead of her ever since they were kids.

Victoria knew this for sure, however...

Seeing how her sister didn’t even try to lift a finger, even when she had openly expressed her desire to kill her so many times, it was understandable that she couldn’t help but burst out in anger.

If Dowd were to hear this, he’d explain that it wasn’t like Seras was looking down on her and even if she were to stab her, she’d probably still act like this, but unfortunately, he just had no time to explain that.

...After she abandoned me like that—

When that kind of thought came into her mind, cold sparks appeared in her eyes.

The image of her past, of the time when she was crying while hugging a worn-out toy amidst the dead bodies hanging on countless poles, came rushing into her head.

She remembered...

The time when she endlessly..

Waiting for someone in that hell.

-U-Unnie, w-when are you going to come...?

As those memories about a certain someone came rushing in.

“...”

The color that permeated Victoria’s eyes turned even more murky.

Grim emotions filled her hands, sticky like soot sticking on the floor.

Hatred—to the point where it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that her goal wasn’t just to assassinate her sister, but to tear her to pieces—enveloped both her hands.

Grand Assassin was a title that was only given to those who had reached a level where they could end the lives of even the most powerful people on the continent—those who were at the Saint’s level—if they were to let their guards down. And now Victoria was showcasing a power that was worthy of that title.

At that moment, her leg muscles tensed up. A strong power gathered there, creating the impression that she could just jump and cut Seras’ carotid artery from where she was right now.

And then...

Right before she was about to do exactly that...

Something strange suddenly came into her view.

A Demonic Aura.

Its color was white, with gray mixed in.

As if it was a ‘blend’ of those two colors.

“...Huh?”

Victoria herself didn’t even know why she had made such a sound. It sounded as if she was in a daze.

However, the next moment...

“...”

The daggers that she was holding dropped to the ground.

Then, she started to hyperventilate.

She could hear the excitement and joy in her breathing, as if she was delighted by this outcome.

“...H-Huh?”

[ Two Demonic Auras in the ‘Fallen’s Seal’ will be compounded! ]

[ Compounding...]

[ Success! ]

[ ‘Desire Impact’ is released from the Seal! ]

< side="" effect!="">

[ Different properties are given to the two different Demonic Auras due to the successful compounding! ]

At that moment, it felt like my brain had just stopped working. Her appearance as she held my hand was so terrifying that I couldn’t even think to take my hand off her.

As I was stuck there, unable to do anything, Victoria stuck her little tongue out before applying her saliva on my hand, as if she was showing her willingness to obey my every word.

Her eyes were still unfocused, but her gesture made it seem like she was trying to get sympathy out of me.

With teary eyes, she licked my hand while panting.

At this moment, when my brain stopped working after facing this mysterious situation...

Another voice came from nearby.

“...E-Ehehe—”

“...”

Seras, looking as if she had completely lost her mind—even when compared to Victoria—held my other arm from behind.

“... You're doing something that makes me feel good— Senioooor—”

“...”

Did you drink some alcohol while I wasn’t looking?

For some reason, she exuded the same vibe as men who came to the bar everyday to drink bottles of alcohol.

“Me too, me tooooo~ hehe~”

After she said that...

She took my free hand...

And put it in her mouth. Not long after that, she started sucking on it as if it was a candy.

In summary...

If Victoria was licking my hand carefully—yet somehow looked sadly and almost erotic—this punk did it purely as her expression of her affection to me.

You know, like a pet acting cute to its owner.

The way they did this was different but I could tell that this punk was also committing herself to her ‘instinctive needs’.

Not long after, only the smacking sound of water echoed in the room.

The sisters were on their knees, next to each other, diligently sucking on my fingers.

“...”

Seriously, what the hell is going on?

Also, how long is this gonna last?!

What if this leaves a negative impact on these two?!

< system="" message="">

[ ‘Desire Impact’ lasts for about five minutes! ]

[ The related effect would disappear without any side effects when the duration is over! ]

As if responding to my questions, that window popped up before me, prompting me to sigh in relief.

Good...

This meant that there would be no negative impact on these punks and they would come back to their senses after a while.

That was a relief.

All I needed to do was to stand here and let them suck my hands until they came back to their senses.

“...”

...This was the first time I had ever been in this kind of weird situation, huh?

You know, this still weirded me out a little, but...

...At least I could make it through this, I guess...

Even though things turned in a weird direction, I prevented those two from killing each other.

Which meant, I managed to accomplish my—

[Sure, brush it off like that, you perverted motherfucker.]

...

[What? Wanna refute my words?]

I’m not going to, but...;

Dude, I didn’t even tell them to do this! Why are you acting like this is my fault?!

Though, objectively speaking, it was really hard for me to refute his words, considering how I looked right now/

I didn’t know what these windows were on about, but...

What I knew was that there was no way this would be a good thing...
