Chapter 377 Yukino's Desperate Struggle

In the early morning, Xia Sheng regained consciousness, only to feel a little difficulty breathing.

His face was buried by something soft.

He opened his eyes to a world that was both pitch black and seemingly pure white. He pushed away Suoh Yuki, who was holding him, and shook his head helplessly.

Luckily, he wasn't an ordinary person, or he would have definitely suffocated.

Looking at Suoh Yuki's sleeping face, Natsuo smiled, reached out, and gently rubbed her head.

I woke up to find her there; perfect timing.

He didn't wake her. He got up and left the room alone. After washing up and changing into his workout clothes, he went to find Shiina Mahiru to go for a morning run together.

I really miss my morning run, which I haven't had in a long time.

Facing the rising sun, Natsumi and Shiina Mahiru ran for a long time, but didn't break a sweat.

"Do you two still need to go for morning runs?"

A familiar, cool voice rang out, followed by a beautiful figure appearing.

"Yukino?"

Upon seeing who it was, Shiina Mahiru was overjoyed and ran towards her, hugging her tightly.

"It's all sweat..." Yukino Yukinoshita tried to push her away in disgust.

"No sweat at all, not at all."

"But don't suddenly hug me."

"What does it matter? We're all sisters."

"6

""

"Why are you here so early in the morning?" Xia Sheng also came over.

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't answer, but looked at Natsuo from head to toe, carefully checking him over, and then smiled faintly.

Welcome back.

Xia Sheng understood what she meant and replied with a smile, "I'm back."

Yukino Yukinoshita was naturally worried because they only met in the dungeon last night. She had to see Natsuo in the real world before she could be sure.

It wasn't just her who needed to be confirmed; during breakfast, Kaguya Shinomiya also brought Ai Hayasaka over.

"Natsuo!"

As soon as Natsumi opened the door, Kaguya Shinomiya rushed into his arms, bursting into tears of joy.

"President, we meet again." Xia Sheng put his arm around her, patted her back, and gently comforted her.

"That's great, you're really back. Last night wasn't a dream."

"Of course it wasn't a dream, but I'm really sorry to have made the president worry so much."

"It's okay, it's good that you came back safe and sound."

"Thanks."

Natsuo looked at Hayasaka Ai, who was standing obediently behind Shinomiya Kaguya, and smiled slightly at her: "Ai, have you missed me?"

"Master, where have you been these past few days?" Hayasaka Ai asked angrily.

Her eyes revealed a sense of peace.

How could she not worry during the days Xia Sheng was missing, since she had absolutely no idea where he had gone?

Kaguya Shinomiya didn't explain things to her clearly, and seemed lost and distraught all day, only telling her that Natsuo would definitely be alright.

But with Kaguya Shinomiya in this state, how could she feel at ease?

She knew that Xia Sheng's disappearance was something she couldn't possibly know, but she still wanted to know.

She didn't want to be an outsider.

What exactly happened, and why can't I tell her?

"I'm sorry, I made you worry," Xia Sheng apologized immediately.

"What I want is not an apology," Hayasaka Ai said seriously.

"That is?"

"I want to know the truth!"

"I see..."

"Natsumi looked down at Kaguya Shinomiya. She was looking up at him, and there was a hint of pleading in her bright red eyes."

She wanted him to tell Hayasaka Ai about it.

Xia Sheng didn't mind being frank; his little maid wasn't someone to be wary of.

"Alright, come in."

"Okay." Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but feel nervous.

"what!"

Suddenly, Kaguya Shinomiya let out a gasp.

"What's wrong?" Xia Sheng looked at her in confusion.

"N-nothing..." Kaguya Shinomiya's face visibly began to flush.

She then came to her senses; she was still in Xia Sheng's arms, she had been too excited.

"Even the president can be inexplicable sometimes."

"Uh...hehe." Kaguya Shinomiya could only laugh awkwardly.

Xia Sheng didn't think much of it, let go of her, and went back inside.

Don't be shy.

"Huh—!"

Hayasaka Ai's sudden reminder startled Shinomiya Kaguya.

"W-What's there to be shy about..."

""

"Your expression says it all." Hayasaka Ai looked at her expressionlessly.

"Hmm..."

""

"Miss Kaguya, be more proactive and don't be shy. It's true that innocent girls are liked, but it's not possible to take the relationship to the next level," Hayasaka Ai advised.

"I know."

"Let's go in then. Remember, be proactive."

"Hmm... um."

The two entered the room and found Xia Sheng and the others having breakfast; the two of them had already finished eating.

So he waited on the side.

After finishing their meal, Natsumi cleaned up the dishes and prepared to take Hayasaka Ai back to her room to explain the situation.

"What's going on with you two?" Shiina Mahiru looked at the two of them in confusion.

She still didn't know what Xia Sheng was going to do.

"Be honest with Ai about some things," Xia Sheng replied.

"Which place?"

"Um."

"Is Ai-kun not like us? Is it okay to tell her?" Shiina Mahiru frowned slightly.

"It's alright. She's one of our people, so there's no need to hide it from her and make her worry."

"No." Shiina Mahiru suddenly refused sternly.

"Mahiru?"

"You're just too casual; you don't know how to hide anything."

"But..

'

"You can tell me you love me too," Shiina Mahiru suddenly changed her mind, but then shifted her tone.

"Unless she becomes completely yours."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't mind if she knows about us, but she's not good enough."

"You mean, you want me to become your master's woman?" Hayasaka Ai understood Shiina Mahiru's meaning and looked at her calmly.

"That's right, only those who are completely on our side are suitable to know our secrets," Shiina Mahiru replied with a smile.

"I understand." Hayasaka Ai nodded.

"You haven't been won over by Xia Sheng yet, have you?"

"No, but I'll find a chance to prove it."

"That's fine then."

"Mahiru..." Natsuo looked at her helplessly.

"I'm doing this for your own good, and of course, for ours too."

"Alright, I'll listen to you... I'm sorry, Ai." Natsuo apologized to Hayasaka Ai.

He didn't want to refute Shiina Mahiru's rule, not because he wanted to eat Hayasaka Ai; if he wanted to, he would have plenty of opportunities.

He just wanted to respect her decision.

He's become henpecked.

"It's alright. If this secret is of great importance, it's reasonable that certain conditions must be met before we can find out." Hayasaka Ai shook her head.

"In short, it is indeed significant."

"I see..." Hayasaka Ai fell into deep thought.

What secret is it that you're so desperate to keep hidden? And why do you have to become one of our own before you can reveal it?

Is it related to the owner's true identity?

Hayasaka Ai really wanted to know, but if she did that, she would be letting Kaguya down.

Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka stayed until evening before returning home, and because Mahiru Shiina wanted to keep it a secret from Ai Hayasaka, they didn't talk about the dungeon that day.

Natsumi went downstairs with Kaguya Shinomiya and the others, saw them off, and then followed Yukino Yukinoshita back to her house.

We need to increase her magical power.

After saying goodbye to Kaguya Shinomiya and the others, Natsuo walked side by side with Yukino Yukinoshita towards her house.

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't say a word or look at Natsuo the whole way, keeping her head down the whole time.

She was shy.

Despite their shyness, the two still went to her house.

Yukino Yukinoshita silently opened the door and went inside first, followed by Natsuo.

As soon as the door closed, Natsuo embraced Yukino Yukinoshita; her slender figure captivated him.

"Change your shoes first..." Yukino Yukinoshita whispered.

"What should I do if I can't wait any longer?" Xia Sheng asked, leaning close to her ear and blowing a breath into her ear.

"Ugh..." Yukino Yukinoshita shrank her neck, her heart racing.

"I...I still need to take a bath."

"Shall we go together?" Xia Sheng asked.

"Mmm..." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded shyly.

Xia Sheng was surprised that she actually agreed. He couldn't wait, so he picked her up and carried her straight to the bathroom.

"A change of clothes!"

"No, I don't want it."

"5

'

This bath took a little long.

The hot water has cooled down and there's much less left.

There was no way Yukino Yukinoshita could resist Natsuo's persistent pleading in this situation.

So the second time, the new environment was unlocked.

When they left the bathroom, Yukino Yukinoshita was already drowsy. Natsuo carried her back to the bedroom.

"continue!"

Back in the bedroom, as soon as Natsumi put Yukino Yukinoshita on the bed, he heard her soft, yet fierce voice.

"Really?" Xia Sheng looked at her strangely.

"real!"

"Are you still okay?" Xia Sheng asked, concerned for her.

"To increase my magical power! I'll give it my all!"

"But..

'

"No buts, hurry up!" Yukino Yukinoshita got up and threw herself into Natsuo's arms, hooking her arms around his neck and kissing him.

It was extremely enthusiastic.

Since that's the case, Xia Sheng didn't explain further, but instead put his arm around her slender waist and responded.

Singing began to play in the room.

His voice was hoarse yet melodious.
