Chapter 472: [472] Once You Leave, Hachiman-kun Will Be Mine
Chapter 472: Once You Leave, Hachiman-kun Will Be Mine
After treating Mana Nakiri, it was already late, so it was only natural for Hachiman and Komachi to stay overnight at the Nakiri residence.
Mana, with Erina's help, returned to her room to take a good bath.
Hachiman and Komachi also returned to their respective guest rooms.
After taking a shower, Hachiman lay on the bed, feeling somewhat idle.
With Mana's treatment done, there wouldn't be much to do for a while. The next time would likely be when his Holy Light reached its maximum level.
And it shouldn't take too long. Given the current rate of proficiency growth, a year should be more than enough time to max out Holy Light.
Hachiman closed his eyes and once again summoned the energy within his body.
This time, however, the light that appeared in his hand wasn't the usual pale gold of Holy Light, but a dark purple glow.
This was his other ability—Dark Light, also known as the Power of Darkness.
In contrast to Holy Light's healing and purifying capabilities, Dark Light was all about offense and corrosion.
Hachiman had secretly tested it before. Just a wisp of Dark Light could create a large hole in the trunk of a massive tree, one that would take several people to encircle. The edges of the hole showed clear signs of corrosion.
Because of Dark Light's destructive nature, Hachiman had never used it openly. In front of others, he only displayed the relatively gentle Holy Light.
*Knock, knock.*
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Retracting the dark glow, Hachiman got up and walked to the door.
When he opened it, he saw Alice Nakiri standing there in her pajamas.
"Alice, what brings you here?" Hachiman asked, puzzled.
Without responding, Alice enveloped him in a fragrant embrace.
"I missed you, so I came to see you," she said, burying her face in his chest and nuzzling him.
"Sorry, Hachiman-kun, I couldn't spend much time with you today."
"It's alright, Alice. You have to take care of the restaurant; it can't be helped," Hachiman replied with a smile, holding her.
Since Alice was wearing only a thin, silky nightgown, Hachiman could feel the softness of her body beneath it, causing his thoughts to wander.
Noticing Hachiman's hesitation, Alice giggled and let her delicate hand slide down his chest, quickly grasping something warm.
"So, let me properly make it up to you, Hachiman-kun."
Feeling her touch, Hachiman felt a surge of heat, but despite his desire, he hesitated.
"But what about Erina..."
Hearing Erina's name, Alice's expression showed a hint of displeasure, but she quickly remembered the agreement she had with Saeko and the others.
"Don't worry, this time of night, Erina should be asleep already."
"Mm, that's good," Hachiman sighed in relief.
With it being almost 10 PM, it wasn't surprising that Erina would be asleep by now.
"So, it's just the two of us now. With Erina asleep, we can..." Alice giggled, leaving her sentence unfinished, but Hachiman understood her meaning perfectly.
Alice had clearly just finished bathing, her silver hair still slightly damp. Her fair skin had a faint pink hue, and the silk nightgown she wore hung loosely, revealing a tantalizing glimpse of cleavage. She also exuded a pleasant fragrance.
Though their relationship had started unexpectedly, Hachiman had completely fallen for this playful, adorable girl. Alice's childlike charm often brought a refreshing sense of novelty to him.
With these thoughts, Hachiman didn't hesitate any longer and leaned in to kiss her soft, inviting lips.
"Mmm..."
Alice let out a soft nasal sound and began to respond to the kiss. As they kissed, Hachiman gently laid her down on the soft bed, his hands exploring her curves under the thin fabric of her nightgown.
Gradually, Alice wrapped her arms around Hachiman's neck, pulling him closer. His hands roamed freely, finding and caressing her sensitive spots.
"Ah..." Alice let out a seductive moan when Hachiman's hand found its mark.
A soft popping sound signaled the end of their kiss. Alice's face was flushed, her red eyes glistening with desire. Her nightgown had become disheveled, revealing more of her smooth, pale skin.
Lying back with her arms open, Alice invited him, "Come, Hachiman-kun, make me yours."
Just as Hachiman was about to move forward, there was a knock at the door.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Hearing the knock on the door, both of them were startled.
Especially Alice, who, as a girl, didn't want anyone to see her in her current state.
Moreover, anyone coming to find Hachiman at this hour had to be someone familiar.
Feeling a bit panicked, Alice's mind raced.
Hachiman, quick on his feet, opened the large wardrobe in the room and said, "Alice, hide in here for now."
"Okay, okay."
Alice nodded repeatedly and quickly got inside.
The wardrobe was spacious enough that even with her entire body inside, she didn't feel cramped.
Seeing Alice safely hidden, Hachiman let out a sigh of relief.
He composed himself, went to the door, and opened it.
Standing before him was a head of striking blonde hair, making the visitor's identity unmistakable.
It was Erina.
"You're so slow. Were you asleep, you idiot?"
Seeing Hachiman taking his time to open the door, Erina was a bit annoyed.
Meanwhile, hiding in the wardrobe, Alice's eyes widened at the familiar voice.
It's you again, Erina! Why do you always have to ruin my plans!
But this time, Alice didn't rush out as she had before. After all, she and Hachiman had already done what they needed to do, and whatever Erina did now, she would have to come after her.
Hmph, let's see what you're here for tonight.
With that in mind, Alice opened a small gap in the wardrobe door, peeking out to observe what was happening in the room.
....
As for Hachiman, seeing Erina looking somewhat angry, he feigned a bit of weariness on his face.
"Sorry, I was actually about to fall asleep just now. After all, today was quite exhausting."
Upon hearing this, the angry expression on Erina's face froze momentarily. She indeed noticed some signs of exhaustion on Hachiman's face.
Could it be that Hachiman really expended a lot of energy helping his mother with her treatment today?
Thinking this, the girl felt some regret in her heart, regretting that she hadn't controlled herself earlier and had inadvertently shown that attitude.
"I'm sorry."
Seeing the girl actually apologizing, Hachiman raised an eyebrow, but he kept up the act.
"It's okay, as long as you rest a bit."
"Oh right, Erina, what brings you here to find me?"
It was already ten o'clock now, and Hachiman had thought the girl would have been asleep by now.
Upon hearing this, Erina also recalled her purpose in coming over today. Looking at Hachiman in front of her, she seemed to have made a decision.
She took a step forward, embraced Hachiman's neck, and kissed him proactively.
Unexpectedly, the girl took the initiative to kiss him, which surprised Hachiman somewhat. But now wasn't the time to think about that. He quickly responded to the kiss.
However, Alice, hiding in the wardrobe, saw this scene and almost couldn't resist bursting out.
Ah, damn you, Erina! Just shut up already.
Darn it, darn it, darn it...
Despite feeling angry, the young girl didn't lose her composure and didn't rush out of the wardrobe.
Clutching her delicate fists tightly, Alice reassured herself in her mind.
It's okay. Even if Erina kissed Hachiman, so what? I just kissed Hachiman myself. Erina is just tasting my saliva.
And even if you kissed him now, what does it matter? As long as you leave later, Hachiman will be mine again.
That's right, that's how it is.
