Chapter 276: Disturbing Kaede

Right now, it's just using Kaede as a stepping stone to get more information.

At this moment, Yukino had also finished washing the dishes and came out carrying a large plate of fruit.

Perhaps it was because they had just chatted quite a bit.

After each had finished eating fruit, the two of them didn't really talk any further.

After chatting with Yukino for a while, the three of them all felt it was getting late and time to sleep.

Tonight, Kaede planned to stay over at Yukino's house.

After all, that was her original plan. It wasn't easy for her to come see Yukino, so of course she would stay a few days.

In addition, since Hikari said he would bring the hypnosis ring over tomorrow for her to study, she naturally wouldn't leave.

And since Hikari had come too, of course he would also stay over at Yukino's house.

It just so happened Yukino's house had two bedrooms.

One master bedroom and one second bedroom.

Hikari and Yukino would of course sleep together in the master bedroom.

Letting Kaede sleep alone in the guest bedroom.

After taking a shower, Hikari returned to the master bedroom of the house.

Just lying on the bed, about to say "turn off the light and sleep," Hikari, saw Yukino, still wearing her black stockings and tight skirt, slowly taking off the white sweater on her upper body, and then unfastening the tight-fitting skirt.

Looking at the now incredibly seductive Yukino suddenly running onto the bed and sitting in his lap, Hikari was a bit dumbfounded.

"Yukino-chan, we still have a guest tonight, you know. Are we really going to do that? Making noise wouldn't be good, right?", Hikari knew Yukino's personality was a bit socially anxious and shy.

So even faced with such a seductive snow woman, he had planned to restrain himself today and go to bed early.

But what Hikari didn't expect was, after hearing his words, Yukino actually shook her head and smiled, "No, it's fine."

"Hikari-kun, tonight… I really want it."

Seeing the determined look in Yukino's eyes, Hikari was slightly stunned, "Yukino-chan, you… what's wrong?"

Today, Yukino was clearly acting a little strange.

And after hearing Hikari's words, Yukino continued smiling and explained, "Today Kaede-chan misunderstood our relationship and thought I was deceiving you, and even shamelessly said that Hikari-kun couldn't give me happiness. Hearing that was really infuriating."

"Hearing her belittle you like that, looking down on you, it really hurt inside. Even though I didn't want to confront her directly because we're friends… But, I want to prove it to Kaede-chan."

"Hikari-kun is definitely not just some ordinary human like she said. And I, this snow woman, am actually… not that amazing either."

Hearing Yukino's words, Hikari instantly understood her intentions.

He hugged Yukino's soft and delicate body, gently stroking her waterfall-like smooth hair, his tone soft and comforting, "It's not necessary. Miss Kiriryuin has always been big-busted and brainless, strong limbs, simple mind. No need to stoop to her level."

To Hikari's comfort, the usually gentle Yukino shook her head and refuted, "No, I don't care. I just can't swallow this. I can't accept anyone looking down on Hikari-kun."

"So, I must clear Hikari-kun's name."

As she spoke, Yukino sat in Hikari's lap and wrapped her jade-like arms around his neck.

Seeing Yukino so firm and proactive, Hikari, though helpless, was also a little moved, and could only comply.

After all, Yukino was indeed doing this for his sake.

And seeing Hikari agree, Yukino also smiled joyfully.

Her arched brows were naturally elegant, her pink lips rosy without makeup, this stunning snow woman's face, under the dim night light, was beautiful beyond compare.

Hikari gently lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead.

And Yukino, too, was full of tenderness, her eyes charming like ripples. First she tucked stray hairs behind her ear, then wrapped her arms around Hikari's neck and puckered her lips, initiating a kiss.

Meanwhile, in the next room, Kaede had just taken off her shrine maiden outfit, lying sideways on the bed, preparing to close her eyes and sleep.

[Harmony Apartments]

In the guest bedroom of Yukino's house, the bright white light from the ceiling lamp gently illuminated every corner of the room.

Feeling this light full of modern human atmosphere, Kaede, who was used to the faint glow of candlelight in the shrine, was still somewhat unaccustomed.

Lowering her fair jade hand that slightly covered her eyes, Kaede spread out the neat bedding.

Then she reached to untie the crimson sash tied around her slender waist and began to undress.

Soon, Kaede took off her loose red-and-white shrine maiden outfit.

Wearing only simple black underwear, she lay down on the bed, ready to sleep.

In fact, Kaede usually preferred sleeping nude.

After all, she was alone in the shrine, with multiple barriers around. No one else could possibly get in.

She liked that feeling of sleeping freely.

But since she was staying at someone else's house, Kaede decided to wear some close-fitting clothes and sleep with them on.

However, just as Kaede reached out to turn off the light and hadn't yet retracted her hand from the switch, with her eyes still open—

She suddenly heard a strange sound faintly coming from the head of the bed.

"Ahhn~"

Sounding like a moan, yet also like a soft sigh of complaint...

"Hmm?", Hearing the sudden strange noise, Kaede, whose beautiful eyes were about to close, instantly widened them.

As a highly capable demon, Kaede's alertness was very strong.

She immediately traced the source of the sound and stared toward it.

But the head of the bed was completely empty, just wood, nothing but wood.

"The sound… seems to be coming from the other side of the wall?", After observing for a few seconds, Kaede quickly realized the sound wasn't coming from the head of the bed.

But from the wall next to the head of the bed.

And clearly, walls don't make sounds. So, it must be coming through the wall from the other side.

"I think… this wall is connected to the interior, right?"

"That is to say, on the other side of the wall… should be Yukino-chan's master bedroom…"

"In the middle of the night, this strange sound, what's going on?"

Listening to that faint yet continuous noise, Kaede frowned in confusion.

Actually, this strange continuous noise wasn't very loud. For ordinary people, it would likely be completely inaudible.

Because the rooms in Yukino's house had decent sound insulation.

But demon physiology was completely different from that of ordinary humans.

Whether strength or senses, hearing, vision, etc., they were far sharper.

Especially in such a quiet night, even the slightest disturbance could be heard clearly by someone like Kaede if she wanted to.

So, upon noticing strange sounds from next door, she instinctively channeled her demonic power around her ears, enhancing her hearing, intending to listen carefully to what was going on.

And as Kaede focused, her hearing skyrocketed again. Meanwhile, the sound from the other side of the wall quickly became clearer.

As that intermittent sound grew more distinct, Kaede quickly understood what was going on…

"This moaning… is Yukino-chan's? Huh?"

"And… also that human Hikari's…"

"They are…? What are they doing?"

"Don't tell me, Yukino-chan is with that guy, doing?"

"?!?!"

As Kaede clearly heard the sounds, her demon-level sharp senses even began painting a vivid mental image, a moving one.

This was a battle instinct of her kind, though clearly misapplied tonight.

Once she fully understood what was happening next door, Kaede was a bit stunned.

'Oh, come on!'

'I am still staying in the room next door.'

'They can't even hold back? Is that necessary?'

'Don't they know I am a demon, with excellent hearing?'

And the noise was getting louder and louder.

At this point, anyone who wasn't deaf could probably hear it, right?

Kaede blinked, first a bit embarrassed and disbelieving, then suddenly couldn't help laughing.

"I get it! I understand now!"

Kaede felt like she had suddenly figured everything out.

"For something this disrespectful to a demon guest like me, it definitely couldn't be Yukino-chan's fault. She's a yokai too, and my good friend."

"So, this must be that shameless human Hikari's doing."

"And on purpose!"

Kaede felt she'd seen through it all.

"He must've been provoked by what I said earlier. I said Yukino-chan is gifted, and this weakling couldn't handle it. So he felt I looked down on him and lost face, and now he's deliberately dragging Yukino-chan into this to prove something to me."

Kaede snorted.

"What a joke. No, what a deadly joke!"

"I'll just sit here and listen to this pathetic human show off, let's see how long he can fake it."

Even though she had no firsthand experience, from certain ancient texts, Kaede knew how terrifying a snow woman's body could be for men in certain… aspects.

That weird noise continued for three minutes.

Kaede listened carefully for three whole minutes, her pretty face slightly flushed.

Counting time clearly, when three minutes had passed, Kaede raised her elegant brows.

"Oh-ho, this little dog isn't bad…", she murmured in surprise.

After five minutes.

Kaede's face showed slight astonishment.

"Oh-ho, he can last this long with a snow woman? That's barely impressive, I suppose. Surprising, but still ten thousand miles from truly satisfying Yukino-chan."

After ten minutes.

Kaede began feeling a bit annoyed, her pretty face now half-flushed.

"This… this can't be right, right? Is this fake?"

After twenty minutes.

Yukino's voice was already a little hoarse, and the strange noises continued without pause.

Kaede's fair face had now turned completely red.

"This… it has to be fake! But it's well-acted! To actually get Yukino-chan to play along, Hikari, you're shameless! Ugh! Disgusting! I'll keep listening, let's see how long you can keep this up!"

After half an hour.

Kaede's pearly white teeth had unknowingly bitten into her soft red lips, and those crimson eyes of hers now glowed faintly in the dark room.
