What if you are reborn as a demon after a funeral?.

"What! You're actually criticizing me! Ash didn't say that to me when I was a kid, did he?" Ilya retorted, not one to back down.

"No, if I said that, wouldn't I become a pervert?"

"That's how it is, what difference does it make if I say it?"

"You've got some nerve, Ilya!" Ash narrowed his eyes, a dangerous smile spreading across his face. "Looks like you need a little punishment, don't you?"

As he spoke, he reached out and pinched Ilya's soft cheeks, gently pulling them as if kneading dough.

Ilya protested with a series of "woof woof" sounds, vaguely pleading with her friend for help: "Miyu~ help me~!"

Miyu subconsciously took a half step back, but Ash locked his gaze on her: "Speaking of which...shouldn't Miyu also do something?"

"Eh? Me...I...?" Miyu's face flushed instantly, and she lowered her head, her voice barely audible: "Um...I...I...I like Ash-san the most...is that okay?"

"Wow! Miyu is so cunning!" Ilya seized the opportunity to break free from Ash's grasp and looked on in surprise: "She actually took this opportunity to confess her feelings!"

"No, no! I just..." Miyu waved her hands frantically, but Illya grabbed her and hugged her tightly. The silver-haired girl grinned mischievously, "Then—confess to me too~"

"Don't try to steal my Miyu!" Ash grabbed Illya by the collar and lifted the little girl up.

With her legs off the ground, Ilya's eyes gleamed with a cunning light, and a mischievous smile graced her face as she turned back.

"Oh dear~ Is Ash jealous? Jealous of me? Or Miyu?"

Chapter 8 Miyu's Night Raid and Illya: The Witch-Transformed Bad Boy Abigail

Ilya's inexplicably cunning remarks and sly tone reminded Ash of Blackie.

Miyu was also somewhat at a loss, her voice stern yet tinged with panic: "Ilya!"

"Okay, okay~ I won't say anymore~ But..." Ilya pleaded, but at the very end of her sentence...

As soon as Ash put her down, Illya bent over with her hands behind her back, tilted her head back, and looked up at him with a mischievous smile: "Miyu said it, so I have to say it too~ It must be like this~? Ash is definitely secretly looking forward to it, right?"

This child has definitely been corrupted by Xiao Hei! — Ash made this assertion in his mind, but to avoid being led by the nose by this child, he leaned down and kissed her lips, directly disrupting Ilya's plans.

In an instant, Ilya, who had been teasing him with ease, began to blush at a visible speed.

Even though it wasn't the first time she'd been kissed, her previous devilish demeanor vanished in an instant, and she transformed back into an innocent young girl.

"Cough, cough!" Miyu's clear cough broke the ambiguous atmosphere.

"Huh?" Ash looked over instinctively. "What's wrong? Do you want Miyu too?"

"No, no! I just wanted to remind you to be mindful of the occasion!" Her ears turned slightly red as she turned her face away.

Don't you want it?

"want....!"

Without any thought, Miyu nodded almost instinctively.

This made Ilya temporarily forget her shyness, and she covered her mouth in surprise, exclaiming, "Wow~ Miyu, you're surprisingly bold~"

“...You have no right to say that!” Miyu glared at him, then mustered her courage, quietly closed her eyes, and gently pouted her lips as she leaned forward.

The situation was not quite what he had imagined, especially with Ilya's unwavering gaze, which made Ash feel somewhat caught in a dilemma.

But he still lowered his head and lightly kissed Miyu's lips, bringing a smile back to the face of the long, straight black-haired girl.

The slightly dangerous morning passed by unexpectedly without incident.

For his own safety... Ash spent the rest of the day very cautiously, leading the girls from the other world on a tour of the castle and the imperial city.

It's just too big; even after a whole day, we couldn't see the whole thing.

..............................

At night, for safety's sake, Ash decided to sleep alone, but...

As night deepened, there was a knock on the door, followed by... a girl with long, straight black hair, clutching a pillow, standing gracefully by the door.

"I...I...I'm a little uneasy being alone in a strange place..." Miyu murmured, her face flushed, her voice as soft as a night breeze rustling a wind chime.

But clearly, that's just an excuse.

But Ash couldn't expose it, much less could he.

With a doting smile, he pulled back the covers and patted the spot next to him: "It's a rare opportunity, let's sleep together?"

"Okay~!" Miyu, who had been a little hesitant, suddenly smiled and lay down next to him in a proper sleeping position.

The girl's long, beautiful black hair was spread out on the pillow, and a faint fragrance wafted over, causing Ash to unconsciously... and with a soft gasp from Miyu, he pulled her into his arms.

"Mr. Ash...?" Miyu's big eyes flickered with shyness, unease, and anticipation.

"It's okay, I'm just giving you a hug, I won't do anything weird, okay?"

"Is that so?"

"Of course~ But since there's no one else around, a little kiss is fine, right?"

"If it's really just kissing, then I'd..."

Rather, Miyu, who wouldn't refuse anything else, couldn't bring herself to say those embarrassing words, but obediently closed her eyes and pouted her moist lips at him, making him unable to resist kissing her.

Of course, a normal person's hands won't be still during this process.

And naturally, amidst the girl's increasingly disordered breathing, he could feel the scalding temperature of her skin.

Although he said a kiss would be enough, of course, a single kiss couldn't solve all the problems. That's why he carelessly tossed Miyu's pajamas onto the floor...

Just like yesterday's re-enactment, the scene was reproduced as before, and it even went a step further.

Even though it was still dark, with the night breeze gently blowing the curtains and the moonlight still pouring down on the bed like water... Ilya once again skillfully opened his bedroom door.

The noise of the door opening startled Miyu, who instinctively shrank into the covers. The silver-haired girl, who hadn't seen clearly in the dim light, followed suit and slipped into his bed.

"Ash~" In the pitch-black night, oblivious to everyone else, Ilya called out in a drawn-out tone, her slender fingers gently poking his cheek: "Sleeping alone must be so lonely~"

Ash didn't respond; he just pretended to be asleep, hoping she would leave quickly.

But the girl who was lying directly on top of him felt something as soon as she did, her face turning bright red, and she said coquettishly:

"Even in this state, he's still pretending to be asleep... or is he having some weird dream? Ash is such a pervert."

"—It's not my fault! After all, you were the one who launched the night raid! Why does it seem like the problem is all on me?" Ash couldn't help but open his eyes and pinched Illya's cheek in dissatisfaction.

"Then why did this happen before I even did anything?" Ilya pouted and slapped his hand away in dissatisfaction: "It was Ash H."

"Okay, okay~ I'm H, so..." What to do? There was also Miyu next to him—Ash sensed that the situation was not good and was a little at a loss.

"how?"

"Ah...no, how should I put it?"

"Hmm?" Ilya tilted her head blankly, her silver hair brushing against his cheek, her red eyes gazing shyly at him beneath her.

And then suddenly he leaned down and kissed her, but very quickly...

There was a rustling sound from the blanket on one side, and Miyu's cold little feet inadvertently brushed against his calf, making Ash involuntarily shiver.

At the same time, Ilya noticed someone beside her and, startled, instinctively braced herself on his shoulders, temporarily separating from him, and exclaimed in shock, "-Why, is Miyu here too?? Spying??"

"Because... I was here first!"

Miyu instinctively hid, a hint of resentment on her face, and then she quietly leaned close to Ash's ear.

A wisp of black hair brushed against her neck, causing a slight tickle. Miyu's disgruntled voice followed, "...Mr. Ash, what are you doing?"

"...I'm thinking about it myself."

"Vulgar and immoral."

"Really? But... since you've put it that way, if I do nothing, I'll be at a disadvantage, right?"

"Huh? Ah...!" Miyu's face had just shown a hint of wariness, and before she could even back away, he had already grabbed her slender waist and silenced her lips that had just let out a gasp.

Meanwhile, Ilya, who was on his body, covered her face with her hands in surprise, but unconsciously peeked at the scene in front of her through her fingers.

But it's only natural that Ash wouldn't let go of these two girls who walked right into his trap under these circumstances.

As the night breeze lifted the gauze curtain, the girl's burning skin rose and fell against his chest. The girl's black and white skin intertwined, and the soft moans that escaped between her breaths made the night even thicker.

..............................

..............................

The next day, with the room filled with spring-like colors, Ash was almost naturally lectured by Miyu.

Ilya was just a little embarrassed, as he was only surprised to be talked to by Ilya a few more times, after all... the two of them were indeed very good friends.

But it is precisely because of this foundation that what happened last night occurred.

Ash felt uneasy, because when Miyu was lecturing him, he worried that Miyu might have been corrupted by Philon.

A few days later, when he led everyone to visit the dwarves in the central kingdoms, his former friends were quite ruthless towards him.

Upon learning his purpose, Aize, speechless, disregarded their past relationship and kicked him out...

"Ugh...the world is really going to the dogs. I just wanted to show the kids some dwarves they'd never seen before, and they turned on me like that...Well, I know this sightseeing-like behavior is a little inappropriate, but kicking them out like that is a bit much, isn't it?"

Ash was loitering outside the door, deliberately sighing loudly and talking to himself, but unfortunately... no one paid him any attention.

This left him frustrated, so he simply found a place to sit down.

But it was at this moment that he saw it.

Not far away, Ilya and Miyu were talking to each other beside Philon, occasionally glancing in his direction, which intensified his unease.

Unfortunately, Frilian was still catching up with Aze in a cave not far away, while Melusin was surprisingly able to chat with both Aze and Frilian... Perhaps it was because they were all quite old and their personalities seemed aloof at first glance?

Abby, for some reason, squatted by the wheat field, carefully observing him from the side, but not coming closer. In other words...

"...Have I suddenly been isolated? Why? What bad thing did I do?"
