When it was time for bed that night, Totsuka found that Kusanagi Izumo had started making a makeshift bed on the floor as he was about to get into bed. This made him pull Kusanagi onto the bed, and he said somewhat angrily, "King doesn't like me, and now even you, Kusanagi-nii, don't want to sleep with me."

Kusanagi Izumo gave a dry laugh. How could he possibly dislike the boy? He had never felt awkward before, but now he felt that something was off.

"Then I'll just sleep on the sofa." Totsuka picked up a blanket, glared at Kusanagi, and went downstairs.

Seeing the boy's reaction, Kusanagi Izumo lay back on the bed, covered his mouth, but couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Lying down on the sofa, Totsuka fell asleep almost immediately, and thought that the sofa was a really good place to sleep, and it was quite comfortable.

He was woken up early in the morning by something pressing down on him, and he groggily opened his eyes and crawled out of bed. Besides seeing Anna sitting on him, he also saw Suoh Mikoto beside him.

"Quickly, think of something for me." Although Suoh Mikoto didn't know how the boy ended up sleeping here, he wanted the boy to focus his attention on Anna for now.

Looking at Anna's expression, Totsuka asked with some confusion, "Can't sleep?" As he asked this, he reached out his hand to Anna, wanting to see what was wrong. Just then, his fingers turned bright red as if they had touched something hot, causing Totsuka to immediately withdraw his hand.

Seeing what was happening, Suoh Mikoto immediately grabbed the boy's hand, somewhat confused as to what was going on.

When Kushina Anna saw Totsuka's fingers, her face paled even more.

Totsuka waved to the two idiots who were staring at his fingers, and immediately pulled Anna into his arms. He reached out and shook her gently, "Anna, look, I'm fine."

Her fingers, now restored to their fair state, waved in front of Anna, and Totsuka softly reassured her, "Did Anna's power leak out? It's nothing serious."

Anna Kushina grabbed Totsuka's hand, touched it, and found that there was really no problem, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you don't want to sleep, then have breakfast." Totsuka put Anna on the sofa and got off. "I'll make breakfast for you first."

After glancing at Anna Kushina, Suoh Mikoto immediately followed the boy into the kitchen.

"King, what are you doing here? Go outside and keep Anna company." Totsuka had just taken an egg out of the refrigerator when Suoh Mikoto grabbed his hand again and squeezed it.

"Hiss..." Totsuka gasped, looking at Suoh Mikoto in disbelief.

Suoh Mikoto frowned, his tone displeased, "As expected... he was faking it just now."

"How did you figure that out?" Totsuka's God's Left Hand could only heal others, but it had no effect on himself. To prevent Anna from noticing, he used illusion magic directly. With his skill level, he shouldn't be able to tell anything was wrong from people who weren't used to illusion magic.

Suoh Mikoto loosened his grip and gently took the boy's hand in his palm. "Something's not right."

Tokusu's lips twitched. When did Zun's ability to sense him become so powerful?

"Hey!" Kusanagi Izumo, who had just entered the kitchen, immediately teased upon seeing the two of them, "Did I disturb you?"

Totsuka quickly shook his head, but Suoh Mikoto led the boy out of the kitchen, glanced at Kusanagi and said, "You make breakfast. You have a medicine box in your room, right?"

"Yes." Kusanagi Izumo nodded, and was about to ask who was injured when he saw the two of them go upstairs. He couldn't help but click his tongue. These two were really getting closer and closer.

Totsuka wanted to say that it wasn't necessary to go to so much trouble, since such a minor burn would heal in no time. However, Suoh Mikoto rummaged through his medicine box and found the burn ointment he needed among the various medicines.

When applying medicine to someone for the first time, Suoh Mikoto stared intently at the boy's hand, using the gentlest pressure he could control to apply the ointment. This task was almost more exhausting than controlling his strength.

Seeing Suoh Mikoto's focused expression and head bowed, Totsuka's smile deepened. This guy is getting cuter and cuter. With that thought in mind, after Suoh's hands had been treated, Totsuka reached out and hooked his other arm around Suoh's neck, then pressed his lips to Suoh's.

This was also the first time Totsuka had taken the initiative to kiss someone. They held hands quite often, but kissing hadn't happened since that one time. This time, the feeling was even more wonderful than the last. Totsuka initially only wanted to try it briefly, but after touching her, she found herself increasingly immersed in it.

Suoh Mikoto, initially slightly taken aback, immediately took the initiative, pulling the boy into his arms and probing with his lips and tongue. The initially gentle kiss gradually intensified, and the deep kiss almost numbed their senses.

Soft breaths escaped from Totsuka's nostrils; he even felt dizzy and his body went limp. He leaned against Suoh Mikoto, trying to say something, but the other tongue in his mouth made it impossible for him to speak clearly.

The overly long kiss finally made Totsuka unable to bear it any longer. He reached out and pushed Suoh Mikoto away, turned his face to the side, and took a deep breath. "Don't you feel like you're about to run out of oxygen?"

Suoh Mikoto looked at the boy's moist, glistening lips, and his throat went dry. He took a few steps back and turned his back to him. "You were the one who spoke first."

Totsuka's forehead twitched this time. He wiped his mouth; his tongue was still a little numb. Although the kiss was quite pleasant, he still had to restrain himself. He was even getting a physical reaction. Or should he say that men really are harder to control in this regard?

Shishu walked out of the room, leaned against the wall, and waited until the fever had subsided before going downstairs.

[Host, you're really letting me down. This system is going to give you a bad review.]

"Showing up at this time, System, is that enough?" Totsuka rolled his eyes in a secluded corner. He himself was already acting so strangely, yet he had developed feelings for a man that went beyond normal emotions. Since arriving in this world, anyone who had ever been confessed to by a man was definitely problematic. But if it was Mikoto, perhaps it wouldn't be a problem.

[Oh, so the host has finally admitted his feelings.]

Tokusuke snorted softly; he had no intention of asking the system for relationship advice. The area on his hand where the ointment had been applied felt cool and comfortable, and his smile deepened. Tokusuke ignored the system's chattering in his head.

Suoh Mikoto went straight into the bathroom, thinking a cold shower would be nice at this moment. However, as the cold water hit him, he frowned slightly, looking at his lower body. Reaching down and grasping his erection, he thought of the boy's appearance and slowly began to move. The sound of the water drowned out the man's deep breathing, and Suoh Mikoto's eyes grew even darker…

After Kusanagi Izumo brought out breakfast, he saw Totsuka with very red lips. He tacitly did not ask what Mikoto was doing, but served breakfast to Totsuka and Anna.

Under Totsuka's watchful gaze, Kushina Anna ate a little something, which brought a satisfied smile to Totsuka's face.

HOMRA Bar served as a gathering place, and the Red Clan, led by Suoh Mikoto, formed a group that was also named after the bar. People also directly referred to their group as HOMRA.

While Anna played with pinball by herself, Kusanagi Izumo spoke privately with Totsuka, and Kusanagi solemnly warned, "Someone is probably watching you lately, so be careful."

Totsuka also noticed this. He nodded and leaned back on the bar, relaxing. "King's here too, it's alright."

"You really aren't worried at all." Kusanagi sighed dramatically, but his eyes were full of laughter.

Totsuka raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Some things can't be worried about and then brought about by worry."

Kusanagi Izumo poked the boy's nose with his finger, his tone tinged with helplessness, "There really isn't anyone more composed than you."

"It's okay, it's okay, there's always a way." Totsuka rested his chin on his hand, as optimistic as ever.

Kusanagi looked at the boy's smiling face and smiled back, "Yes."

After Suoh Mikoto went downstairs to eat, Totsuka walked up to him and stared at him intently. "We want to go to the amusement park today." Behind Totsuka, Kushina Anna also stared directly at Suoh Mikoto without any politeness. Such a blatant gaze was impossible to ignore.

Suoh Mikoto glanced at the two men's expressions and replied somewhat casually, "Ah, is that so?"

Despite this meaningless answer, Totsuka turned to Anna with a beaming smile, "Anna, King didn't object, that's wonderful!"

"Huh?" Suoh Mikoto didn't think that his answer meant he agreed to go with them to such a childish place.

"Let's go, King, can we set off now?" Totsuka's hand was already healed. His body's recovery ability must have improved a lot during the modification, which made his hand completely without any marks. He reached out and took Anna's small hand, and gestured for Anna to take Suoh Mikoto's hand.

"Who said I was going with you?" Suoh Mikoto was somewhat reluctant to accept the boy's suggestion.

At Totsuka's prompting, Kushina Anna reached out her small hand and tightly grasped Suoh Mikoto's, which made Totsuka chuckle, "Don't betray the expectations of a pure young girl, King."

Suoh Mikoto clicked his tongue and stood up anyway.

"Mom and Dad said they would take me to the amusement park, but... we didn't go." Kushina Anna stared at Suoh Mikoto with eyes as big as glass marbles, and clenched Totsuka's hand even tighter.

This time, Suoh Mikoto didn't argue. He took the little girl's hand and walked out with the boy. Totsuka waved behind him, and the others from HOMRA followed suit.

Kusanagi Izumo sat at the bar watching the three people walking ahead, and couldn't help but think: They really do look like a family of three. This thought made him laugh out loud.

They arrived at the amusement park in a grand procession, which was filled with laughter and joy. After entering the environment, Hatta became even more lively and energetic. It can be said that this guy is incredibly childlike in some ways.

"Mikoto, Mikoto, wanna ride the roller coaster?" Hatta was not only excited himself, but also wanted Suoh Mikoto to join in.

Suoh Mikoto's tone was very displeased, and he snorted, "Huh?"

His imposing presence caused Hatta to immediately bow respectfully and say, "I'm sorry!"

Seeing Suoh Mikoto's reaction, Totsuka shook his head and said disapprovingly, "King, this is not the expression a person should have when visiting an amusement park."

"Isn't it because you dragged me here?" Suoh Mikoto glared at Totsuka in a low voice, but the boy obviously didn't take his expression to heart.

Fushimi, who had been dragged along by Yata, muttered to himself, "Why did they bring me along too?"

After arriving at the amusement park, Kamamoto bought crepes and shared them with Anna.

Suoh Mikoto, observing the chaotic scene, sat down on a bench and instinctively took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. He always found himself irresistibly drawn to cigarettes when he was agitated.

"King, you don't want to play with us anymore?" Totsuka naturally noticed Suoh Mikoto's fatigue and pointed at him. "Even if you don't want to play, you can't just leave!"

Suoh Mikoto nodded almost imperceptibly at the boy's request, then placed his hands on the bench and looked up at the sky. He hadn't seen the sky in a long time; it was a vast expanse of blue, truly a beautiful day. Since becoming the Red King, he had almost completely isolated himself from the outside world. If it weren't for the boy, he probably wouldn't have been dragged out by various excuses.

Suoh Mikoto's surroundings became almost a vacuum. Parents who had brought their children to the amusement park immediately scurried away in fear upon seeing him on the bench. He truly was someone people feared.

Anna played on the spinning teacups over and over again. Although her face remained expressionless, her eyes shone with joy. The girl, who had always been like a doll, seemed genuinely happy at the amusement park. Totsuka and the others, along with Anna, went on almost every challenging ride.

As dusk approached, they finally stopped. Anna sat quietly to the side, waiting for Kamamoto and Hatta to buy drinks.

At this moment, Totsuka stood guard next to Anna, but immediately put on a relaxed demeanor when Hatta and the others returned and handed her drinks. Kamamoto handed Anna a glass of brightly colored tomato juice, and everyone chatted while drinking.

"The relationship between Hatta and the little monkey is incredible," Totsuka said with a smile after Fushimi disappeared.

While drinking his cola, Hatta recounted to Totsuka how he first met Fushimi. After he finished, he noticed Totsuka looking at him with a gentle expression, which made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. Totsuka was sometimes childish and sometimes acted like an adult when interacting with them, a dynamic that Hatta found quite challenging.

"After joining HOMRA, we all do silly things and laugh together." Hatta thought about his time in HOMRA and was in a very good mood. "No matter what happens, we work together to defeat each other. With Mikoto around, there's nothing to be annoyed about."

Totsuka nodded and asked softly, "But on this point, is the little monkey the same as you?" Totsuka looked at Yata, who had a puzzled expression, and continued, "Does the little monkey also feel like he was 'saved' by HOMRA, just like you, Yata?"

"Probably." Hatta felt his blood would boil around Mikoto, and he believed that no one would feel the same way, including Fushimi.

Totsuka didn't say anything more, but looked at Anna behind him. Yata quickly shifted his interest to Anna and began asking her why she was wearing blue. Shouldn't Anna, who could only see red, be wearing red?

Totsuka agreed with Hatta's statement, thinking that once the problem was solved at the research center, Anna would look stunning in a red dress.

“I want to watch the sunset from there.” Anna Kushina pointed to the sky diagonally above, where the Ferris wheel was located.

To Anna's disappointment, the Ferris wheel had a sign that said "Closed Today." Just as Totsuka was about to take the disappointed girl to the sky, he discovered that Suoh Mikoto had appeared behind them at some point, while Kamamoto and the others had run off somewhere else.

Suoh Mikoto held Anna in one arm and pulled the boy into his embrace with the other. He pushed off the ground with his feet, and his body floated gently into the air. With a graceful, beast-like movement, he leaped silently into the air while holding the two of them, jumping one by one from the Ferris wheel. In less than two seconds, Totsuka and the others had reached the top of the highest Ferris wheel.

After Suoh Mikoto put Totsuka down, he immediately threw Anna into his arms.

The location here is very high, with no obstructions around, offering a wide view. It's definitely a great spot to watch the sunset, and the streets are bathed in the red glow of the setting sun.

"Totsuka." Suoh Mikoto squinted, surveying the commotion throughout the amusement park. His men were being blocked by Yata and Fushimi; their target was clearly Anna. "Is this why you brought me out?"

Totsuka chuckled, "This was Kusanagi-nii's idea, but I think it's still necessary to come out and relax occasionally, especially for you."

"You all stay here." After giving this instruction, Suoh Mikoto jumped to the ground.

Totsuka held Anna tightly, keeping a close eye on their king. After Suoh Mikoto stretched out his back, his entire aura changed, and it could even be said that the space itself changed.

When Totsuka saw the Sword of Damocles appear once more, he couldn't help but look at the blue-clad figures who had been following them with pity. Without a king, the blue-clad figures would be utterly unable to withstand such intimidation from the Red King.

“The sword is wounded.” Anna pointed to the giant sword in the sky from inside Totsuka’s arms. There were several small nicks on the giant sword.

When Totsuka noticed this, he fell silent. He immediately contacted the system, "How can I ensure that Suoh Mikoto's sword won't malfunction or fall?"

Equipment with stable Weizmann deviation values ​​requires points to redeem.

"How many points do I need?" Shishu, who only had nine thousand points on hand, immediately asked.

10 points

This is robbery! He's never earned this many points before.

[There's another way. The host's earring with its suppressive ability can be upgraded. For just 2 points, the equipment can be upgraded to gain the stability that makes the king stable.]

Is his divine left hand completely useless?
