Chapter 34: After the Tavern Banquet, Luke's Time to Punish Kirie!
Over three hundred years.
Kagarino Kirie had lived through an incomparably long time for humans.
In her eyes, life in the human world was extremely boring.
Even trying to find some fun as a student didn't make much difference.
But by chance, she saw a door that abruptly appeared in the corner of her courtyard wall.
An ordinary door, yet possessing an alluring curiosity.
Kagarino Kirie couldn't resist pushing it open, ultimately seeing a new world.
Although it was a small restaurant, it brought a huge impact.
Because it connected to another plane, a plane named 'Gensokyo'.
According to the owner's explanation, 'Gensokyo' was inhabited by powerful youkai, fearsome oni, gods believed in by the masses, and so on.
All this felt like the fantasy books in the study for Kirie.
It also fit the name 'Gensokyo' quite well.
However, what truly surprised Kirie was the owner's cooking skills.
Kirie had hired top chefs before, and also visited hotels rated five-star.
But those foods, once put in the mouth, were tasteless, not worth discarding...
She originally thought the dishes made by the young man before her would be the same.
Kirie merely regarded the restaurant as a midpoint station for 'understanding Gensokyo', used to explore a new world.
The result turned it into the 'terminal station'.
Because she wanted to stay here, savoring the cuisine made by Luke.
Especially after the delicacies Luke served went down her stomach, the unprecedented experience from her stomach, from her tongue, all transformed into a sensory and spiritual impact.
As if clearing away the originally gray sky.
Or perhaps splashing a rainbow onto a colorless tablecloth.
A feeling never experienced before instantly filled her brain.
This was an emotion she never had before.
Excitement?
Curiosity?
Or perhaps... lust? Possessiveness?
It clearly couldn't happen so simply.
After all, Kirie knew well, she had only met Luke for less than half a day.
But it was precisely this period that gave her an inexplicable desire.
Thus, upon hearing that the vampires of 'Gensokyo' also intended to invite Luke to become their chef, she couldn't hold back anymore.
Something must be done.
Multiple plans popped into Kirie's mind.
But all held uncertainty.
In the end, there was only continuing the frontal assault!
And this night, for Kirie, was the best opportunity!
Just make Luke fall for her.
However, before starting this plan, she had to endure a drinking party first.
She had persisted for several hours, this bit of time was no problem.
Kagarino Kirie was quite confident in herself.
As a result, she still underestimated the stored wine brought by the 'Gensokyo' vampires.
Rich aroma, mellow taste, but also easy to get drunk from.
Kirie just became muddled like that.
When Luke saw off the group from the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Kagarino Kirie realized her chance had come.
Even though her consciousness wasn't clear, she still intended to seize this opportunity!
Perhaps Luke was also not clear-headed due to the alcohol...
Then!
Act!
Kagarino Kirie began the plan to conquer Luke.

Mm!
A trace of coolness woke Kirie up.
She opened her eyes and saw the deep night color outside the window and the parrot on the iron shelf.
[Bondage! Bondage! Bondage!]
After saying this, the parrot left the scene, flapping its wings and flying out the window.
Only then did Kirie realize, she was sitting on the floor, her hands tied up with a towel.
Both hands were thus raised above her head, feeling somewhat sore.
Unsure how much time had passed, Kirie looked around again.
This should be a bedroom, and she was tied to the foot of the bed.
Even so, Kirie still didn't quite understand the situation...
"Finally sobered up a bit?"
Luke walked out from the room's washroom.
He looked at Kirie tied to the foot of the bed, came nearby, and squatted down.
"I personally don't like using such methods, but well... there are exceptions. Kirie-san's sharp tongue isn't a good habit, I think it needs correcting."
"So you, this fellow, tied me up?"
"Precisely so."
"Hmph, my habits don't need you to correct them, moreover, this little problem, I can solve it myself."
Saying this, Kirie exerted strength in her arms, wanting to break free, but the result was ineffective.
"The material of this towel isn't simple, it was bought from the workshop in the 'Human Village'."
"Is that so? It does have resilience... Then what do you plan to do? This kind of 'correction method' is useless!"
"Kirie-san just needs to promise not to clash with the members of the Scarlet Devil Mansion in the future."
"Isn't warning with the 'blacklist' your method? Doing this now is illogical, so... you have other motives, right?"
Kirie licked her lips.
She gave a wicked smile.
"If you use another correction method, I can accept it too, Luke~"
