"How are you feeling now, Shiina?" Sora asked as he released her.
Under the nourishment of his life energy, Shiina's wounds had completely healed, leaving no scars.
"I'm much better, Sora-sama, but my strength hasn't fully recovered yet." Quickly pulling her clothes back on, Shiina answered shyly, her head lowered.
Recalling the intimate moments they had just shared, Shiina's face turned so red it seemed like it might bleed.
Seeing the girl's flustered state, Sora chuckled.
This guy was no saint. While treating Shiina, his hands had wandered all over her body. If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, he might have gone even further!
"In that case, let's go rescue Yukari now." Without waiting for Shiina's response, Sora picked her up in his arms.
"Sora-sama, I can… walk…" Shiina, naturally shy and introverted, was completely overwhelmed by Sora's boldness, her voice trembling.
But would Sora, the shameless guy he was, let her walk? Obviously not!
"Hehe, no way! Shiina, your strength hasn't fully recovered yet. If you walk on your own, it'll slow us down."
"So, to save Yukari faster, Shiina, you better not move, okay?"
With a sly smile, Sora's hands gently kneaded Shiina's soft buttocks and chest as he whispered into her ear.
"Mmm…"
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum. Due to her extreme nervousness, Shiina's body trembled slightly, but she didn't dare to struggle or resist. Instead, she buried her head deeply in Sora's chest.
Savoring the faint fragrance of the girl's body and feeling the wonderful sensation, Sora carried Shiina out of the room.
As for the two unconscious Sekirei, Sora had initially considered deactivating them and adding them to his collection. However, he realized that doing so would alert Higa Izumi, and if all his Sekirei were to swarm him, it would complicate the rescue mission for Yukari. So, he decided to let them be for now.
Well, the game was still ongoing, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. They would eventually become his!
"Damn it! Damn it!!! That bastard better not fall into my hands, or I'll never forgive him!!!"
Filled with rage and unwillingness, Yukari reluctantly put on the wedding dress, her anxiety growing by the minute.
Although she had agreed to this to save Shiina, there was no way she would actually marry Higa Izumi! Not a chance!
If she were to marry anyone, it would be her Prince Charming. Who did he think he was?!
"Yukari-san, I'll step out now. Please get ready; the ceremony will begin soon." The makeup artist, very professional, finished dressing Yukari and reminded her.
"Yeah, yeah, just get out already!" Yukari was in no mood for pleasantries, her temper flaring.
The makeup artist wasn't offended and simply smiled before leaving the room.
Click! As soon as the door closed, Yukari, who had been standing still, immediately sprang into action.
Although she looked stunning in the wedding dress, she had no time to admire herself. She quickly inspected the room, searching for any possible escape routes.
However, to her disappointment, aside from the door, there were no other exits. Escaping seemed impossible!
Sitting down in frustration, Yukari's mind raced. Even though she hadn't found a way out, she wasn't one to give up easily!
Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she spotted the window.
The window was fitted with bulletproof glass, but that was no obstacle for Yukari. Wrapping herself in strands of black destructive energy, she kicked the window, shattering it with a loud crash!
Bang! The door burst open, and several figures rushed in.
Unbeknownst to Yukari, the room was under surveillance. While they had let her search for an exit earlier, now that she had kicked open the window, they panicked!
They were over a hundred floors up. If this girl decided to jump, it would be a disaster!
Seeing the security guards and Sekirei rushing toward her, Yukari panicked. She had only intended to take a look. Although she was known as the "Demon Queen" and had nerves of steel, she wasn't reckless enough to jump from such a height without hesitation!
But as she saw the people closing in on her, imagining herself being dragged to marry that despicable man, Yukari couldn't care less. Her stubbornness kicked in, and without a second thought, she leaped through the window!
Well, the people behind her were completely dumbfounded. This girl actually jumped!
For a moment, as she jumped, Yukari felt a sense of exhilaration, as if she had found freedom.
However, the next moment, as she realized she was plummeting from the sky, she regretted it!
"Waaah! I haven't even lived my life yet, haven't even gotten married! I don't want to die!"
"It's over, it's really over this time!"
"Mom, I'm going ahead of you. Remember to burn some pretty clothes for me during the holidays…"
"Damn it, Dad, where are you? I'm about to die!!!"
As she enjoyed the thrill of freefall, Yukari babbled incoherently.
The intense stimulation was too much for her, and her brain felt like it was about to short-circuit.
It felt like a long time had passed, and she should have been dead by now.
Confused, Yukari finally mustered the courage to uncover her face and open her big, watery eyes.
"Yo, Yukari!" A familiar voice, a familiar face, a familiar smile.
Yukari realized that, at some point, she had been caught in Sora's arms.
And now, they were hovering in mid-air…
"Waaah… Damn it, Dad! You stupid Dad! Why did you take so long? You scared me to death…"
Overwhelmed with relief, all the emotions she had been suppressing burst forth. Yukari pounded Sora's chest, venting all her grievances.
"Uh… So you already knew?"
Slightly embarrassed, Sora hadn't expected Yukari to know. He wasn't sure if she had figured it out herself or if Takami had told her.
"There, there, my little princess, don't cry anymore. Everything's fine now, okay?"
"Don't worry, with your Dad here, no one can hurt you. I'll get revenge for you now, alright?"
Well, Sora was shamelessly quick to adapt to his new role!
"Hmph, that guy used Shiina to threaten me. You have to teach him a lesson!"
"Oh, by the way, Dad, where's Shiina? Is she okay?"
Actually, Yukari regretted letting it slip as soon as she got carried away.
But perhaps, like father, like daughter, Yukari was just as shameless. She quickly adjusted her mood, calling Sora "Dad" without missing a beat!
Sora's lips twitched. Looking at Yukari's innocent face, he thought to himself that he was already quite shameless, but Yukari was no less so. Truly the queen of demons!
"Um, Yukari-san, I'm fine…"
As soon as Yukari finished speaking, a timid little head peeked out from behind Sora. It was none other than Shiina.
Her face flushed red, Shiina realized she had overheard something she shouldn't have. She felt uneasy and couldn't bring herself to look at Sora or Yukari.
"Huh? Shiina, you… you heard…"
Yukari, who had been trying to maintain her composure, could no longer keep up the act. Her face turned bright red, and she was so embarrassed that she almost fainted.
A smile tugged at Sora's lips. He thought to himself, "Kids, you still have a long way to go."
For now, he ignored the two girls who were too embarrassed to face him. With a gentle flap of his wings, he soared into the sky.
Looking at the man standing by the window, dressed in his wedding attire, Sora's face revealed a mysterious smile.
"So, how should I punish you? Someone who dares to hurt my little princess!"
