Chapter 377: 147. Under the starlight, each little witch has her own beauty. _4
The half crescent moon, lightly veiled with a layer of rosy clouds, quickly blended with the wisps of cloud, indistinguishable from each other. Higher and farther away in the Milky Way, sparkles of pink, yellow, and red lights flashed.
"What do you two really think?" Fujiwara Reya asked.
The two girls asked in unison, "What about you?"
"Me? It’s quite clear...," Fujiwara Reya said with some guilty conscience but still spoke with a courage that seemed to lay it all out, "On the premise of not going against your will, I won’t give up on either of you."
"Disgusting!" Kasahara Asuka emphasized loudly, puffing out her chest.
Starshine reflected on her fluttering orange hair, her delicate and soft little ears peeping out from beneath. Fujiwara Reya pretended not to hear her words; he didn’t object to being called a scumbag, as long as there was no real intention of dragging a scumbag to death.
"Being entangled with a scumbag is quite troublesome. It takes a lot of time to think about, and gradually it becomes more tiring and chaotic. You start to feel unwilling and begin to detest... until finally, you give up and yell ’Get lost, scumbag!’ Hmm, Asuka thinks this kind of ending isn’t bad."
At this point, Kasahara Asuka suddenly raised her hands, a powerful smile blooming on her face.
Seeing her bright and sunny appearance, Fujiwara Reya seemed to have some epiphany — the process she described is surely something one will experience one day. He would struggle until the end like she said and then calmly accept farewell.
"Hmm, what you said is also right..." he said uncertainly.
"Really──?"
Kasahara Asuka replied with a half-mocking tone.
Although it seemed like she was teasing him, the look in her tea-colored eyes was also quite frivolous.
Therefore, Fujiwara Reya did not engage in verbal sparring but answered seriously as well, "Since you’ve put it that way, I can hardly bind you..."
"Shush!"
Kasahara Asuka interrupted him.
She leaned closer, wrapped her hands around him from behind, drawing circles on his back with the rhythm of waving a ribbon.
"Please be a little more responsible, senior." Though the girl was smiling, her tone of rebuke was entirely different from before, "Playing around and then not wanting to care afterward? That’s pure scum; surely, you can’t be that rotten, right...?"
Warm breaths touched him at an extremely close distance, and being scolded by a younger girl made Fujiwara Reya feel somewhat embarrassed.
"Oh, sorry, I shouldn’t have..."
"No need to apologize." Kasahara Asuka said generously, patting his shoulder, her lips curling into a supremely wicked smile, "However many times you cheat, I’ll cheat as many times as well."
"..."
Fujiwara Reya’s face froze.
Then, his expression became more serious than ever.
"In that case, I’ll chain you up!"
"Hmm, really—" Kasahara Asuka seemed quite satisfied with his reaction, tugging at his hair, "You’re such trouble, so hard to deal with, it’s really headache-inducing. Why don’t I chain you up first and keep you at home? Wouldn’t you like to just be Asuka’s little dog?"
Saying this, she slightly bent over, her small fists clenched.
Her tiny cat-like fists punched at Fujiwara Reya’s stomach.
"Ouch..." Fujiwara Reya frowned, pleading for mercy.
In fact, it didn’t hurt at all.
Not only did it not hurt, the thoughts in his junior’s heart were conveyed to him through her fists—she still wanted to play for a while longer, whether they could play together for a lifetime depended on whether the senior had the skill to keep her.
"What about the senior?" Fujiwara Reya looked at Hoshimi Rinko.
Hoshimi Rinko sighed softly.
"Perhaps if you’re forceful and kiss me and hold me, such momentary romance, I won’t refuse." She raised her face, gazing at the brilliant Milky Way, "But for me to share my love for a lifetime, it’s hard to achieve."
"That’s why I’ve never kissed or hugged you."
"Not scummy beyond cure then."
"Actually, it is quite scummy beyond cure."
"It’s alright. I didn’t have expectations from the start anyway."
"I didn’t have expectations either."
"Liar."
"Alright, I also have expectations for the senior."
"Honesty is good." Hoshimi Rinko reached out and held his hand in the dark.
Like suddenly grown robust and strong ivy, either firm and strong or soft and gentle. At the moment of holding hands, each other’s blood and body warmth fused together.
"Do your best." She stood up, heading back into the cabin, "From the start, you’ve been hiding from me. I’ll make a more accurate judgment once I see through your entirety."
Fujiwara Reya watched her leave.
Under the starlight, she wore a plain summer dress, the back of her neck as striking and impressive as a relief sculpture.
"Ah—" Kasahara Asuka stretched and stood up, rubbing her eyes as she said, "I’m tired, going to sleep. Also, Asuka is still angry with the senior right now, don’t talk to me until I’ve cooled down."
"As you command! Eh... keys!"
Kasahara Asuka turned back, holding two keys.
"Hehe~" she laughed triumphantly, throwing them forcefully.
The keys disappeared into the dark sea.
Fujiwara Reya’s face turned dark instantly.
He now just wanted to rush over and spank her over his knee.
Left alone, the sound of the waves became clearer. Fujiwara Reya looked up at the starry sky that the two girls were gazing at.
The starlight humans see actually comes from the distant past.
No one knows how many years it traveled, through how difficult a journey, for such brilliant light to reach people’s eyes.
Fujiwara Reya had always been an optimistic little demon.
No matter what troubles lay ahead, just by looking up, he could find the motivation to move forward from the lights in the sky—even the light from lifeless stars can travel thousands upon thousands of years, how could he, as a dignified Mountain God, not move forward!
In the darkness, the soft sound of slippers walking across the floor reached his ears.
Against the faint orange door light as the background, a slim figure appeared. At the moment Fujiwara Reya glanced over, the image of his future main wife emerged in his mind. Standing at the door of the cabin was Kawashima Miki, wearing a light pink nightgown, with her round face, soft shoulder lines, and delicate posture, she was just perfect to be the main wife!
"What are you doing here?" Fujiwara Reya asked.
"Came to see what you did to the two girls." Kawashima Miki laughed, seemingly amused seeing him in handcuffs.
"How did you know we were here?" Fujiwara Reya asked in surprise.
"You silly!" Kawashima Miki showed her shiny teeth and laughed, "This yacht isn’t big, it didn’t take much effort to go around. I’ve been listening at the back for a while. Seeing you all alone and handcuffed like that is really delightful."
"These little difficulties can’t stop me!" Fujiwara Reya easily freed himself from the handcuffs, footsteps steady as he approached the faint pink figure.
"Seems like I worried in vain." Kawashima Miki turned, the faint pink gradually drifting away.
"There are many things to say to you."
"Ah, okay, come with me."
Fujiwara Reya swiftly stepped forward, carrying her in his arms as he moved into the room. The stunning demoness lay obediently in his embrace, he playfully teased, "Incredible! Even though you’re a demoness, just with this touch of gentle aura, any man would be utterly enchanted by you!"
"Don’t mix up the two identities!" With happiness and sweetness in her heart, Kawashima Miki feigned annoyance in her expression as she said, "Gentleness is only for loved ones, one must always maintain the appropriate distance with others, it’s a principle I always adhere to."
"I like it." Fujiwara Reya placed her on the bed, gently kissed her soft red lips, "Whether it’s Kawashima Miki or Luo Xinfu, I like you both."
"What Luo Xinfu, sounds creepy!" Kawashima Miki pinched his ear angrily, "If you’re looking for Spider Demons, haunted mansions are plenty. Those places are damp and mushrooms grow on the floors, webs everywhere, humans asleep within... I’m not that kind of ghost story woman!"
"Yes, yes, you’re the little witch, the Mountain God’s Wife!" Fujiwara Reya smiled, lowering his head to meet her red lips, "We can’t take the final step now, shall we continue with just mouths?"
Kawashima Miki slapped his head aside.
"Then use legs?"
"No! Save your energy for the Mountain God Festival!"
"I’m full of energy!"
"Don’t get weak legs when the time comes." Kawashima Miki gently laughed, her soft tongue lightly licking her lower lip, "I’m Luo Xinfu, be careful I might suck you dry, not leaving a drop for you."
"Can’t wait!" Fujiwara Reya wrapped her in his arms, rolling into the covers.
The yacht drifted quietly on the undulating sea, destination unknown... the fragrance of the waves, the brilliance of the Milky Way; with the emergence of a new sun, a more beautiful world would be there.
