Why does it feel so uncomfortable?
It feels like I'm tied up or something.
Abruptly opening his eyes, Yazuki immediately understood why he felt this way—he was practically mummified in bandages.
He tried to move slightly.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow..."
Pain shot through his entire body straight to his brain. How long had it been since he last felt this kind of pain?
That damn useless loli, just wait! To be so ruthless to him, he would definitely get revenge!
Huh?
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed someone beside him. Sitting next to his hospital bed was a blonde girl, her slender hand resting against her chin as she dozed off.
Her face looked delicate, her sleeping expression peaceful; clearly, she was in a deep sleep.
Her golden twin tails cascaded over her shoulders, shining under the soft light filtering in through the window, creating an absolutely breathtaking sight—a young lady's sweet midday nap.
But what did that have to do with him?
His top priority right now was to buy, buy, buy—fully indulge himself in anime, games, and the entire 2D world for seven days and seven nights! No, wait, maybe just one day and one night, or else his body might not survive.
He needed to get up immediately and—
Then, he froze.
Because of the pain, he lost his balance the moment he tried to stand and ended up falling—straight toward the twin-tailed girl.
Crash—
He collapsed onto her, his face stiffening as he suddenly felt the soft, cushiony sensation of the girl's lips.
They were unbelievably soft, like marshmallows, and… kind of sweet? So, this was what a girl's lips felt like? And he could clearly smell the faint fragrance of her delicate body.
The girl's eyes widened in shock. She had already woken up when he first bumped into her, and now that the unexpected situation had escalated, she was completely dumbfounded.
Their eyes locked—big eyes staring into smaller ones!
Then, her blue eyes flickered with a tangible wave of killing intent. Her golden hair, which had been still just moments ago, began to float eerily, as if she were some kind of witch.
Yazuki broke out in a cold sweat. Even when facing the wrath of gods in the past, he had remained calm—but now, he was actually panicking. Was it just because this was his first kiss?
Yeah, it was his first kiss. Even after becoming the Demon King of hundred worlds, he had never once experienced the softness of a girl's lips.
He had been through so much, yet when it came to romance, he was still completely innocent. No progress at all, it was honestly a disgrace to the title of Demon King.
But all he ever thought about was returning, to the point where it had practically become an obsession. The so-called land of sweetness was just a trap, it would shake his resolve to go back.
"This was an accid—ow—mmph!"
He immediately pushed himself up, his expression serious as he tried to explain sincerely. But before he could finish, the pain in his hands gave out, and he fell again, their lips meeting once more.
"Sorry, I—mmph!"
Like being electrocuted, he quickly pushed himself up again, trying to explain. But once again, the pain made him collapse onto her.
"It really wasn't—mmph!"
Again and again, when someone is in a daze, they tend to repeat the same mistakes without thinking.
"I—"
"Go to hell!"
Before the fourth accidental kiss could happen, the girl, now fully recovered from her shock, twitched at the corner of her eye. Her adorable face twisted in embarrassment and anger, her cherry-colored lips letting out a sharp, furious cry. Her blue eyes glowed like those of a demon.
Then came a storm of relentless blows against Yazuki's already injured body.
Injury +1.Injury +1.Injury +1...
"Hiss—"
Yazuki touched his cheek and sucked in a sharp breath. It hurt. He couldn't understand how such a small body could wield her golden twin tails like whips, striking his face with such force.
"Hmph—!"
The blonde girl let out a cold snort, looking completely justified in her actions. Her blue eyes still carried traces of anger. If he weren't already injured, she probably would have attacked him even more violently.
Then, as if thinking of something, she crossed her arms and spoke coldly.
"Listen up, Yazuki! If you dare tell anyone about what just happened, about the fact that you ki...—anyway, if you say a word about it, hehe, you're done for!"
Her eerie laughter sent chills down his spine, her eyes brimming with murderous intent.
"Ki what? Kiss? Come on, who would go around bragging about something so embarrassing~"
Yazuki let out an exasperated sigh, making it seem as if he was worried about his own reputation.
But in reality, his words were laced with mockery, as if implying that kissing her was the real embarrassment, like kissing a pig. Who in their right mind would talk about such a humiliating event?
Hearing the deeper meaning behind his words, the twin-tailed blonde's mouth twitched in anger. Her blue eyes darkened as she prepared to swing her twin tails at him again.
"Don't push your luck!!!"
Just as she was about to act, Yazuki suddenly spoke with unexpected authority, his voice carrying an almost regal weight. In that instant, the domineering presence of a Demon King surfaced.
His cold tone made the blonde girl freeze. Her shocked expression gradually softened into one that looked almost… vulnerable.
Seeing her like this, Yazuki sighed, realizing that he might have gone a little too far. Sure, she was a bit arrogant, but still…
"I'll say this one last time!"
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
"I'm really sorry. That was an accident, I didn't do it on purpose. And… thank you for saving me."
His tone was sincere, without any hint of deception.
She blinked, seemingly stunned for a moment. Then, she pouted, still looking somewhat annoyed, revealing her small, sharp canine teeth.
"I get it!"
She answered with a grumble, though her expression suggested she wasn't entirely over it.
Honestly, why didn't he just move away first before explaining? Instead, he kissed her three times—three times! Just thinking about it made her ears turn red.
"...What do you want now?"
She flinched as Yazuki suddenly leaned in closer, carefully studying her face.
"Now that I think about it… Do you know me? Strange, why don't I remember you? Wait, you look kinda familiar~"
He frowned, stroking his chin in thought.
His words made her expression darken.
To her, it sounded like he was saying she was insignificant, so unimportant that he never even noticed her existence.
He doesn't remember me? Is he playing dumb?
She shot him a deadpan stare.
"Ohhh, now I remember! You're that blonde loser dog, right?"
Yazuki clenched one fist while keeping the other hand open. Then, he struck his open palm with his clenched fist, as if suddenly realizing something.
At that moment, he finally remembered who the blonde twin-tailed girl was.
As soon as he spoke, the girl he had just called a "blonde loser dog" froze for a moment, her delicate face going blank. Then, the corners of her eyes and mouth began to twitch.
A second later, her head lowered slightly, her shoulders trembling, and her slender fist clenched tightly; he could almost see the veins bulging on her hand.
Giving such an awful nickname to a cute girl, wasn't that just asking for death?
It even felt like there was a dark aura rising from her body.
"Who are you calling a blonde loser dog, you bastard?! My name is Eriri Spencer Sawamura!!!"
The blonde girl furiously shouted her full name, her blue eyes flashing with a terrifying red gleam as she charged at him.
"Where the hell did you go?! Bastard, don't run!!!"
Predicting that he was about to be beaten up, Yazuki swiftly grabbed his coat and other belongings. Without a shred of dignity, he opened the nearby window, climbed out, and made his escape—leaving behind a figure that made the "blonde loser dog" grit her teeth in frustration.
By the time Eriri rushed outside in pursuit—ah no, not "blonde loser dog," but Eriri—the guy was already nowhere to be seen.
"Wait… blonde loser dog?"
Now that she had calmed down a little, Eriri muttered the awful nickname to herself, it sounded oddly familiar.
Ah, right. There was one bastard who always called her that. But not in real life—online. It was a name he used to mock her with.
Now it all made sense.
No wonder she hadn't seen his booth at Summer Comiket last month or at this event either. No wonder her parents had acted strangely when talking about him.
They knew each other.
These two bastards… were the same person.
She was beyond pissed!!!
"I swear I'll kill you!!!"
Damn you, Yazuki!
And also—give her back her first kiss, damn it!!!
