A Simple Request from Hayasaka Ai

The morning sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting thin golden streaks across the floor. The room was quiet, with only the sound of steady, gentle breathing breaking the silence.

Hayasaka rubbed her eyes lazily before turning over. Sleep still clouded her mind, but as she tried to sit up, a sharp pain shot through her lower body.

"Ugh..."

Instantly, her consciousness fully returned. Memories from the previous night flooded her mind mercilessly. The heat of his touch, his hurried breaths, and the soft sounds that echoed in the room... it all came back so vividly that her face flushed red.

'Oh my god... I really did it...'

Carefully, Hayasaka glanced to the side of the bed, where the man who had turned her from a girl into a woman still slept peacefully.

She bit her lip as the memories of how she had been treated last night haunted her. Her cheeks grew even redder as she recalled just how intense the experience had been.

'Didn't books say men can only last five to ten minutes? This bastard tortured me until 2 a.m.! Could it be because a Campione's constitution surpasses that of a normal person even in that aspect?!'

Her eyes narrowed sharply at Ren, who was still sound asleep, as if cursing his inhumanity.

Meanwhile, the man who was the source of her complaints remained peacefully asleep, seemingly unaware of the suffering he had left behind.

Ren opened his eyes, immediately sensing a faint wave of hostility. His natural reflexes as a Campione caused him to unconsciously release his aura.

*BUZZ!*

The space around him vibrated instantly, like ripples spreading across the surface of calm water. The once-warm air suddenly turned icy, as if winter had descended into the room.

On the other side of the bed, Hayasaka froze. Her heart pounded so loudly it echoed in her ears, and her body felt locked in place by an invisible pressure. Every sense screamed in panic, like prey suddenly finding itself before an apex predator.

Cold.

She felt as though she were sinking into an endless ocean of ice. Her breath caught, and her chest tightened.

A pure, indescribable fear, one that defied logic, enveloped her.

"Huh?"

Then, as if realizing something, Ren retracted his aura. In an instant, the pressure vanished, and the world returned to normal.

The warm air of the room enveloped Hayasaka once more, but her body still trembled, unable to forget the hellish sensation she had just experienced. Her eyes welled up, not from the urge to cry, but because her body couldn't withstand the effects of the overwhelming power that had just enveloped her.

If she were just an ordinary girl without training, she might have fainted—or worse.

Ren reached out and gently pulled Hayasaka into his embrace, offering some warmth to her still-shivering body.

"Are you feeling better?" He asked apologetically.

Taking a deep breath, Hayasaka tried to steady her emotions before finally speaking in a low voice.

"I'm just Rokuhara-sama's maid. It's up to you how you treat me. No matter how strange your requests are, I can only obey and accept them."

Still holding Hayasaka tightly, Ren didn't let go. His hands began to move dishonestly as he whispered in her ear.

"In that case, you can make a reasonable request of me. Remember, the premise must be reasonable. If it's too troublesome, I'll refuse."

Hearing Ren's words, Hayasaka held back her tears. Her pitiful and weak expression from earlier instantly transformed into a devilish smile, full of cunning.

Moreover, Hayasaka didn't act shy like most girls. Instead, she naturally revealed her proud figure to him.

"Really? I can make any request as long as it's reasonable?" She asked, her tone suddenly cheerful.

"That's what I said, but you need to keep the premise in mind." Ren replied with a smile.

'As expected, Ai set a trap for me, but the girl's little selfishness doesn't bother me at all. After all, we'll be spending a lot of time together from now on. It's important to nurture our feelings for each other.' He thought to himself.

Did he feel guilty for forcing Hayasaka to sleep with him?

Not at all. Ren had won the girl through his own strength, even if his methods were despicable. After all, he could proudly declare himself a scumbag.

For example, the most famous scumbags, the Celestial Dragons from the world of One Piece, who had committed countless inhumane acts.

Did Ren truly hate the Celestial Dragons? Yes, but not really.

Much like his past life, many people hated the arrogant children of the wealthy, but they didn't actually hate those children; they hated not being part of that world.

Who wouldn't want to live a life of luxury, free from burdens, surrounded by wealth and comfort?

Ren, born into the family of the Nine Dragons in Indonesia, had seen the envy people held for his lavish lifestyle.

"I want to be able to drop formalities with you when we're alone."

"That's it? Are you sure?"

Hayasaka's request was surprisingly simple, which caught Ren off guard.

"Yeah, it's exhausting to be formal all the time."

"Alright, I'll allow it."

As soon as she heard that, Hayasaka's expression changed. Without hesitation, she lowered her head and bit Ren's shoulder hard.

"Hm? Are you mad?"

The bite felt like an ant's pinch, and Ren let Hayasaka continue biting him.

"Hmph!" Hayasaka released her bite and complained, "Damn, I can't even leave a mark. What are you made of?"

"Well, a Campione's bones are nearly unbreakable. They're even harder than steel." Ren chuckled.

Frustrated, Hayasaka glared at him. "More importantly, you really came inside me... What if I get pregnant?"

"The chances of that are slim."

"Slim? What do you mean?"

"Campione can be considered a different species from humans. It's difficult for a Godslayer to have offspring with an ordinary human. Even I'm not sure if it's possible. Fortunately, I don't have to worry about my lineage ending—before becoming a Campione, two of my women were already pregnant."

"That's hard to believe... You're just making excuses, aren't you?"

"Suit yourself if you don't believe me. But you can try for yourself later."

"Who wants to try?! Don't make it sound like I want a child from you!"

Honestly, Hayasaka was still skeptical of Ren. But it did ease her mind a little. She didn't want to get pregnant too early.

"By the way, you should start being careful now."

Ren's sudden serious tone made Hayasaka turn to him.

"Did something happen?" She asked with concern.

"Yesterday, the concentration of spiritual energy in the sky and earth increased several times over."

"Spiritual energy?"

"I don't know the cause, but it will trigger many evil spirits and ghosts to evolve and grow stronger. The number of victims from supernatural attacks will increase. Additionally, more people will awaken their Spiritual Eyes compared to before."

"..."

Hayasaka fell silent for a moment, processing the information Ren had just shared.

'The world is becoming more dangerous. I need to warn Kaguya-sama and the president not to wander around at night...'

Her heart grew anxious as she thought of Kaguya, the woman she had served for years. As her assistant and personal maid, Kaguya's safety was her top priority. If the situation truly worsened, she had to ensure Kaguya wouldn't be affected.

Hayasaka was still lost in thought when Ren suddenly pulled her closer. His eyes gleamed with something indescribable, and before she could protest, he whispered in her ear.

"It's still early. There's time before school. Let's continue."

Hayasaka jolted. "W-Wait, you still want to do it after all that? Are you even human?"

"Sorry, I'm a Campione." Ren replied casually, gently pushing her back onto the bed.

"Ah~ be gentle, please~"

Hayasaka wanted to protest, but the warmth of Ren's body and the faint scent lingering from his bath clouded her mind. His fingers skillfully traced the curves of her body, erasing any lingering doubts in her thoughts.

In an instant, the room was once again filled with intimacy, the gently swaying curtains the only witness to the morning that had just begun.
