บท 58: The hard work of a scumbag

"I'm back."

Tsukasa returned to his dorm after spraying a formula to erase Kanata's smell on his body.

"Welcome back."

Tsukasa looked up and looked at Stella, wearing a cute pink apron, and greeted him with a sweet smile.

"I have cooked dinner. Do you want to eat now?" Stella asked with a happy smile.

"...Okay." Tsukasa was quite perplexed by Stella, who welcomed him with a bright smile like a loyal wife that welcomed her husband after tiring work. The only problem was that he didn't go to work. Instead, he secretly dated Kanata before he returned to the academy. He was like a husband who secretly cheated on his wife.

Still, Stella wasn't his wife and not even his girlfriend.

Their relationship was quite weird since they were just training a partner.

Tsukasa knew that he had taken advantage of Stella, and probably she had realized it too since while she didn't like to use her head, she wasn't stupid. However, she didn't say anything since she could tell that he wouldn't break up with Touka.

Stella also knew that Nene also aimed for his body and would attack him anytime. While she was an A-Rank Blazer, she hadn't developed her power well to defeat Nene.

While Tsukasa's charm was one of his advantages, it also gave him many troubles.

Still, Tsukasa didn't think too much about it for now and just enjoyed dinner together with Stella. He thought that she might be a pampered princess, who couldn't cook, but her cooking skill was quite awesome, considering she loved to eat.

The two had a big appetite, and their battle had consumed many of their calories.

While eating, they also talked about their fight before.

"Sorry about that before, Stella," Tsukasa suddenly apologized.

"What's wrong?" Stella was confused at why Tsukasa suddenly apologized.

"Before, I could attack the Blazer that attacked you directly, but I waited for him to explain his ability. Luckily, he was stupid and explained his ability before she hit you, but if he was slightly smarter, then you might get hurt," Tsukasa said frankly since he could just beat all of them, but his instinct told him that the ability of Bisho could greatly help him, so he was quite greedy. While he trusted Stella's ability, he let her stand alone against a group of enemies, without anyone helping her..

Even though Tsukasa decimated all of them after that, he still felt guilty since he could help her right after she stood up in front of the mother and son.

Thinking about the mother and son, he remembered that the mother had given him her LINE, which made him think he should visit her in the future.

"Tsukasa, I think you might misunderstand something," Stella suddenly said while looking at Tsukasa. "I'm not a weak girl that will let her man protect her all the time. I won't stand behind "my man" and let him protect me. Instead, I want to fight by his side, so you don't need to worry about it before. Trust me like I have trusted you before." She believed that Tsukasa would do something, and she was right.

When Stella was almost being attacked by Bisho, Tsukasa moved directly, taking him down and even beating that guy until disfigured. His wild side made her throb hard, and she was just too excited to see him like that.

Still, Stella must admit that Tsukasa's ability was nice and straightforward.

While the firearm was useless in front of Blazers, it regained its prestige as the most dangerous weapon on earth in Tsukasa's hands.

One bullet on the head, a Blazer would die.

Stella felt that it would be wonderful to fight side by side with him, and that was why she didn't want to give up on him and wanted him to be her.

Hearing Stella's answer, Tsukasa knew that she was right, but...

"Sorry, I know that you're strong, but I just can't help but worry about you," Tsukasa said truthfully since even if Stella was as strong as a dragon, he just couldn't help but worry about her.

Stella blushed and felt shy, hearing those words.

"Still, you call me "my man," Tsukasa said teasingly.

Usually, Stella would be embarrassed and blush, but this time, she faced him and nodded. "Yes, I did call you that."

"......." Tsukasa.

"Tsukasa..." Stella approached Tsukasa without hesitation, sitting on his side, and moved so close that her ample bust, touching his arm.

"........." Tsukasa.

Stella was blushing and shy. However, she didn't hesitate anymore.

Tsukasa wanted to stop Stella, but he was too late.

"Tsukasa, I love you," Stella said wholeheartedly, but when she saw his expression, she understood what he wanted to say. "I know that you have a girlfriend, but I just can't stop this feeling." She even dared to play dumb and did perverted training together, but this time, she couldn't stop her overflowing feeling.

"...You're going to be hurt, you know," Tsukasa said helplessly.

"It's alright. I have prepared myself," Stella said firmly, without hesitation in her heart. "So, what's your answer?"

"I can't break up with Touka since I love her." Tsukasa was a scumbag for saying this since he dated Kanata while dating Touka, but this was enough. He didn't want more trouble again, especially when there was still Nene.

While Stella was beautiful, her identity was also quite troublesome. She was a princess, and she was also A-Rank Blazer, and once she knew that Tsukasa was also dating Kanata, without a doubt, he might enter a hospital, or worse case, he might enter a graveyard directly.

Also, unlike Kanata and Touka, who were his childhood friends, and Nene, whom he had met in his childhood, Tsukasa had only met Stella for a short time. Even though he had kissed those lips several times and even touched her body, he hadn't taken the last step, so she was still pure.

Probably.

Tsukasa might be the one who thought so, but he felt that he was still safe.

However...

"I won't let you reject me!" Stelle came powerful and pushed Tsukasa to the ground directly before she kissed his lips!

"........"

Tsukasa was speechless. He wanted to push Stella, but in the end, he accepted the kiss and reversed their position since he hated being pushed around by the women around him. While he might not be able to handle them on magic, on the bed, he was the master.

Stella was hit by several of his combos, and even if she lost her breath and her lips were numb, she didn't Tsukasa go, hugging his neck tightly, pressing her breasts on his chest, causing them to be deformed and swelled up.

While Tsukasa had a regenerative healing factor, he could still die if he drowned. His lungs might have been trained, but it was a different matter if Stella hugged his neck so tightly that he couldn't breathe.

Stella's power wasn't a joke, considering her ability to manipulate the concept of a dragon. Even if her power didn't match the real dragon now, it had broken the limit humanity could achieve in their lives.

'I'm going to die!'

Tsukasa thought, but his pride wouldn't allow him to give up, and in the end, he won.

Stella breathed heavily as she hugged his neck tenderly before she said, "...If we keep this relationship a secret, can you accept me?"

Tsukasa was conflicted, then said, "...But I'll wrong you."

"It's alright. I just want you to be with me, Tsukasa." Stella rubbed her face against his neck and said, "I love you." She then looked at him and caressed his face, staring at him and waiting for his answer.

Tsukasa took a deep breath and made up his decision.

"I love you, Stella."

Stella's smile bloomed brightly before she kissed him again.

Tsukasa made up his preparation first and took a deep breath before he kissed her again.

Tsukasa knew that he was a scumbag, but he just couldn't stop it.

Still, Tsukasa knew that he needed to become stronger, so at least he could run away if everyone had found out that he dated all of them secretly.

'Is it wrong to become a scumbag?'

Leaving such a question on his mind, Tsukasa brought Stella to bed and taught her many enjoyable things since even if he died, he wouldn't let his life be dull and lifeless.

Tsukasa was going to be a firework. He was going to shine brightly, engraved his existence to everyone's mind before he...

Hopefully, he was still alive to enjoy all of this.
