Chapter 403: Haruhime: "I-I need to say something!"
Haruhime was so happy and talked about so many things for the entire night. On the other hand, Tsukasa was an attentive listener. He listened to her words and pointed out his opinion regarding the story that she told him. She also got a lot of things from him and didn’t expect that one would be able to see the morality of a hero from a different point.
Frankly, Haruhime was slightly frustrated since, according to what he had said, the story of the hero that she had always loved to hear was just simply an egotistical man who thought that they were right.
Was the villain wrong?
In the eyes of the victim and the hero, yes.
However, in the eyes of the villain?
Haruhime even felt that the villains were a victim, which made her slightly at a loss. Still, when Tsukasa told her he was tired, she let her lay on her lap. Usually, she might have passed out the moment she saw the shoulders of the man, yet at this moment, she didn’t since he was so gentle and made her comfortable.
Haruhime even liked the feeling of his head on her thighs since it made her feel that she could do something to him.
However, their discussion was so long that they didn’t realize that it was almost morning.
“I’m sorry, Yuuki-sama!” Haruhime quickly apologized by bowing her head.
“Why did you apologize?” Tsukasa asked while yawning. He didn’t feel sleepy, but it was just a subconscious action. After all, with his physical ability and healing factor, even if he didn’t sleep, he was okay.
“All I did was just talk after all, and I-I hadn’t given you a service…” Haruhime blushed, feeling embarrassed. After all, she was a prostitute, yet she didn’t do her job.
‘Are you really a prostitute?’ Tsukasa rolled his eyes and rubbed Haruhime’s head, causing her to purr. “Haruhime, I had fun tonight. We might not do it, but I’m happy to talk and listen to your story.”
“Re-Really?” While her reaction made her embarrassed, his sweet words made her heart melt with happiness.
“Yes.” Tsukasa nodded and said, “But it’s almost morning. I’ll go back now.”
“Ah, let me accompany you,” Haruhime quickly said with a smile, trying to hide her disappointment.
Tsukasa didn’t reject and took his bag to go out.
On the other hand, Haruhime tried to pick up his sword, but she must admit it was too heavy!
“Yuuki-sama, this sword is so heavy.” Haruhime picked up the sword with some stubbornness.
Tsukasa picked up his sword and said, “As I have said before, you don’t need to pick it up, right?”
“No, it’s my job.” Haruhime shook her head stubbornly. After all, she felt she couldn’t give him enough service, so she felt she should compensate him with something.
Anyway, his purpose of coming here had already been completed.
Tsukasa could somehow understand why Aisha wanted to save Haruhime.
Unlike at night when the Entertainment District was at its peak, in the morning, it was so quiet that it would be hard to imagine this was the same place.
Tsukasa and Haruhime walked next to each other without saying anything.
Yet Haruhime kept glancing at him from time to time, especially toward his face. After all, even now, he hadn’t taken off his mask, and he kept wearing it without showing his real appearance to her. However, even though she was curious, she didn’t dare to open her mouth since she was afraid this beautiful dream would break like a bubble.
They might not have the same view regarding something. They often clashed on their opinion, but somehow they also tried to understand each other.
This might be the first time Haruhime had someone like this.
Haruhime knew this might be their first time meeting each other, but she must admit she had a certain affection toward him. Yet even though she felt something like that, she wasn’t sure what he felt toward her.
Haruhime might not know his face, and frankly, even if he was ugly or had a huge scar on his face, she might not care about it since, with her status as a harlot, she felt even his existence was incomparable to her.
Unlike her, who couldn’t see the future no matter how much she struggled, she could see that he was struggling even if he faced many troubles. This was what she loved the most from him, and she wanted to be there for him since she didn’t want to see him burnt out.
His slightly tired profile couldn’t hide the burning ambition, which was as hot as magma.
Haruhime blushed when she saw this since she felt he was a hero.
Yet…
As they walked, the time they would be together would become shorter and shorter before it vanished and disappeared.
Haruhime tried to slow him down, yet Tsukasa didn’t wait for her.
“That’s it. You don’t need to accompany more. You should rest now since you haven’t rested, right?” Tsukasa said.
“Ah, um.” Haruhime nodded and saw his profile turned. However, deep inside, she struggled. She tried to change something that she had never done previously. She had always been passive, and she had accepted everything. She didn’t expect anything, and she didn’t ask anything. She was fine like this, yet his appearance changed everything.
“Ah-um!”
Her voice was slightly awkward.
“Yes?” However, Tsukasa stopped and looked at Haruhime.
Haruhime just said what was inside her heart. “…Can you see me again, Yuuki-sama?” Her heart was beating so fast, and she felt she could pass out anytime, yet everything melted out, like a rainbow she saw after the rain after she heard his answer.
“Yes.” Tsukasa nodded.
“Re-Really? Will you visit Haruhime again?” Haruhime asked again since she wanted to confirm that she didn’t mishear him.
“I will visit you again, but I can’t promise I’ll visit you every day. Is that okay?” Tsukasa asked.
“Ye-Yes!” Haruhime said stutteringly, yet she showed the purest smile she had ever shown him in their meeting.
Tsukasa stared at Haruhime for a while, then turned without hesitation. “See you next time.”
“See you next time.” Haruhime waved her hand excitedly until she couldn’t see him. She was about to go back, but she was startled when she heard a voice.
“Haruhime, who is that?”
Haruhime turned and sighed in relief when she saw a familiar someone. “Aisha-san.” She bowed her head lightly, then said, “He is Yuuki-sama. He was my customer.”
“Yuuki-sama…?” Aisha’s lips twitched, but then she asked with a smile, “He’s your customer?” Frankly, even if Tsukasa had eaten Haruhime, she didn’t think much. Instead, she felt happy since she knew that Haruhime had found a powerful man. After all, as an Amazoness, her only purpose was to get the seed of the strong man, so she could give birth to a powerful descendant. As for being warm and loved, it was number two.
“Ah, yes…” Even if Haruhime was a prostitute, she was quite embarrassed when she had to acknowledge it.
“I see… I see…” Aisha nodded with a knowing smile, then wrapped her hand around her shoulder. “Should I teach you a technique so he can fall for you?”
“Eh… Eeehhhh?!” Haruhime was stunned, and her face was so red that smoke could be seen from the top of her head. However, her fox ears twitched lightly before she nodded embarrassingly while looking at Aisha. “Ple-Please…”
Aisha smiled and felt it might be good for two sisters to fall for the same man, right?
