Chapter 24: 24
The day continued to progress, and the silence in the house remained overwhelming. Kenzo knew that he had to prepare another meal, but without the aphrodisiac, there was no need for it since he already knew what he desired.
These women had control over their sexual urges, but Kenzo was aware that Mizumi only restrained herself because of her boyfriend.
He had visited her at the perfect moment. She had someone to satisfy her needs, even though he wasn't particularly skilled in doing so.
However, the truth was that without him, she would likely lose all control, especially considering her evident sexual activity, which made Kenzo wonder about the posters on her wall.
Yuki was nowhere to be found, as she had been locked in her room for quite some time. With Hitomi and Mizumi absent, Kenzo was left alone with her.
He couldn't help but wonder what she was doing, but the lack of concern from the others indicated that this was a regular occurrence.
Despite his curiosity, he decided to knock on her door. All he heard from behind it were hurried movements, as if Yuki was concealing something before he entered.
The movements grew closer, indicating that she was approaching the door to answer his visit.
Without even asking who it was, Yuki swung the door open immediately and appeared confused when she saw Kenzo. She had momentarily forgotten that he was still present, and Kenzo couldn't help but notice her cute little pink nipple peeking through her loose shirt.
She attempted to slam the door in his face, but he prevented it by blocking it with his face, even though he could have easily avoided it. After all, where was the fun in that? Since he would soon be leaving them, he thought it wouldn't hurt to have a little fun.
Under the pretense of protecting his face, Kenzo used more force than intended to block the door, causing Yuki to stumble and fall to the ground.
Kenzo quickly rushed in to assist her in getting back on her feet.
Yuki had been acting awkwardly since he arrived, but it was understandable since Kenzo was a stranger.
"Are you okay? I didn't mean to startle you," Kenzo apologized quickly, but Yuki brushed off his hand and got up on her own.
"I-I'm fine. I didn't mean to shut the door on you," Yuki said, pointing out her mistake.
"It's fine. I just wanted to make sure you were alright," Kenzo replied, surprising Yuki with his statement.
"You wanted to see if I was alright?" Yuki's face flushed with embarrassment at the thought, and Kenzo understood why she was acting awkward.
It wasn't just because he was a stranger; it was evident that Yuki lacked experience with the opposite gender.
Kenzo realized that this information could be valuable, but it wasn't the right time to act on it.
The possibility that she was a virgin was high, and he wasn't ready to take that step just yet.
"Of course. I haven't seen you since you stitched me up. I want to thank you properly, Yuki," Kenzo responded, his words making her feel a strange tingling sensation.
Hearing him say her name had an effect on her.
"T-There is no need for tha—!" Yuki's words were cut off as she felt the warmth of Kenzo's slender fingers on her face. She froze, not knowing what was happening.
Kenzo had briefly glanced around her room during his earlier visitation and noticed the collection of romance novels, suggesting she might have fantasies about these types of situations playing out.
"W-What are you doing?" Yuki's voice trembled, but Kenzo leaned in closer, his face mere inches from hers.
"There is something, right..." Kenzo paused, swiping his finger across her lips, left overs from the food she had eaten before putting the same finger into his mouth.
"...here," Kenzo muttered, sensing her strong pheromones. He knew he could have her right there if he wanted to; he was merely toying with her.
The one he truly desired was Mizumi, wanting to explore every inch of her body like a hidden treasure. But Yuki wouldn't be a bad appetizer.
"I'm doing whatever you want me to," Kenzo whispered in her ear before pulling away and saying,
"Just kidding!"
Yuki laughed awkwardly, not fully comprehending what had just transpired, but she felt even more aroused than before.
"I should probably get to cooking," Kenzo said, leaving her room.
However, he could smell it. She had clearly made a mess on her sheets; she hadn't been locked up sleeping. No, she had been pleasuring herself for quite some time. But why was there this uneasy feeling?
Kenzo didn't know why, but he had a sense that something terrible was about to happen. The fact that his mask, which he always wore to conceal his identity as the Oni man, was destroyed made him feel exposed.
Even though the chances of encountering a threat were low, they weren't zero.
Assassins were after him, and they had successfully targeted more stealthy foes in the past. Just because he might be the best killer around didn't mean he excelled in every other aspect.
"What am I doing?" Kenzo pondered, realizing that he was wasting his time.
He had discovered the key to unlocking his immortality right under his nose, yet he hadn't seized the opportunity. He knew that once he became immortal, he wouldn't feel the adrenaline rush that came with the prospect of death. He understood that immortality would take away that feeling, something he couldn't risk right now, unfortunately.
But Kenzo's concerns were justified because the demon known as Akujin was closing in on him.
