“…”

“Whimper, mumble.”

“?”

As I closed my eyes and tried to sleep, a sound made my eyelids flutter.

Cracking my eyes open and looking beside me, I discovered the source of the mumbling.

“Heeh…”

My dear wife, Cheon Soyul, was muttering continuously and sleep-talking, her small lips moving. She was sleeping naked, clutching tightly to my arm.

We had just been intimate multiple times and were both thoroughly exhausted, so it wasn’t strange that she didn’t return to her own room and stayed here.

‘I wonder what kind of dream she’s having to look so happy, truly.’

Aside from that, it was truly rare for Soyul to reveal her sleeping habits so comfortably, making it quite fascinating.

Seeing how her mouth wouldn’t stay still, was she perhaps eating something delicious in her dream?

I looked down at her for a moment, then gently moved the arm she was holding.

The spot I lightly brushed against was, naturally, Cheon Soyul’s chest.

“Ugh…”

She immediately furrowed her brow. I considered teasing her a bit more by fumbling around with my hand, but then I chuckled and decided against it.

Waking up someone who had fallen asleep as if collapsing from intense exercise for such a trivial reason felt wrong.

“Hm.”

Instead, I subtly pulled my arm away and sat up. Cheon Soyul seemed to try and hold onto me even in her groggy state, but of course, she couldn’t keep hold of me in her sleep.

I simply brushed her bangs aside with my fingertips before getting out of bed.

For some reason, I didn’t feel like sleeping. Was it because I had been practically squeezing Cheon Soyul dry by absorbing her energy from the middle onwards?

Anyway, both my stamina and overall condition were fresh, so I couldn’t just keep my eyes closed.

*Rustle…*

So, I carefully left the dormitory, making sure to make as little noise as possible. I stepped into the hallway, closed the door, and slowly raised my head.

The sight beyond the railing was a beautiful night sky.

“…”

Staring at the glittering stars, I also stared intently at the moon in the very center of the dark sky for a moment.

I wasn’t usually one to get lost in contemplation like this, not me.

Regardless, time passes. I had gone through various events, but there was still a main issue for me to address.

…The remaining time until the start of the Moonlight Cult subjugation operation: now, barely three days.

“What should I do about this?”

I sighed deeply, pressing a hand to my forehead. As a member of the awakened society, it’s obviously right to annihilate villain organizations.

But from the perspective of one of the two people who know the truth of this world…

“Should I cooperate, or not?”

It was an undeniably complicated situation. Even more so, especially since I heard that Haru was Seol Hayeon’s martial sister.

“…The relationships are really tangled, aren’t they?”

After muttering that in a low voice, I suddenly turned my head to the side, sensing a presence.

It wasn’t far away. A woman with purple hair was peeking her head out from beyond the hallway, secretly watching me.

Immediately after, our eyes met.

The woman flinched.

And then?

“Oops.”

…Saying something like ‘Oops!’ I put on a dumbfounded, bewildered expression and beckoned Violet over.

Our S-rank villain, Miss Violet, currently confined by Cheongsong Academy but still guaranteed a certain level of autonomy.

Her fuchsia eyes, subtly shimmering under the moonlight, seemed particularly beautiful.

She hesitantly interlocked her fingers, then slowly walked towards me.

As I stared intently at her, once she was somewhat close, I suddenly pulled her into an embrace.

“Eh? G-gasp?”

Perhaps she hadn’t expected me to act like this. Naturally, as it was a sudden action on my part, Violet’s eyes widened and she looked up at me with a surprised expression.

But even though I was already troubled, I needed healing…

Naturally, and like a very stealthy snake, my right hand slid in, lifting her top and moving inside.

Judging by the feel, she seemed to be wearing a bra, but well. I wanted beyond that.

“W-wait a minute. You suddenly, hngh, why are you, ahh, ugh…”

Violet, who at first seemed to resist slightly, soon couldn’t push my hand away, only letting out heated breaths.

It was truly an alluring expression and reaction, and it was what I wanted, but…

I had no intention of recklessly getting intimate with Violet right there.

I had desire, but not enough to roll around naked.

I merely put my hand in to try and ease my complicated feelings a little, through her chest.

Violet seemed to get a strange feeling from my touch, continuously twisting her legs.

“Haa, gasp… You, you, you seemed to enjoy yourself thoroughly with her today, so she wasn’t enough for you, is that it? Mmph, gasp.”

“…That’s not exactly it.”

“B-but then why are you touching me so suddenly…”

Well. If she asked that, I had no reply, but if I had to say, perhaps it’s because the female body is a significant healing point for me?

I decided against saying that out loud, as there was a certain awkwardness about it.

Anyway, even if I kept my mouth shut, there was nothing Violet could do.

It might be stating the obvious, but I no longer had reason to be intimidated by a mere S-rank villain.

To begin with, with various restrictions placed upon her, she couldn’t even unleash her full power within Cheongsong Academy.

“L-Lee Hyunjin…”

Anyway, perhaps she was quite excited by my touch, as Violet suddenly looked at me with longing eyes and tried to lean in.

“Ah, no such intentions.”

“Mmph.”

I immediately reached out my other hand and covered her mouth.

She seemed to have expected a kiss, but I didn’t feel like it.

If she were to say I was just unilaterally enjoying myself, I wouldn’t have a counter-argument, but that’s just how it is for a captured villain.

Unable to resist any teasing they receive from an Awakener… that kind of…

‘Hmm.’

Shouldn’t I be the villain here instead? A moment of self-doubt came over me, and I stopped my hand that was kneading Violet’s chest.

“…Haaah.”

And as soon as she was freed, Violet let her body go limp, as if exhausted.

“Oh, dear.”

I thought she was being overly dramatic, even though I had only touched her for a few minutes.

With not a hint of agitation on my face, I lightly patted Violet’s shoulder.

Her fuchsia eyes, flushed with heat, looked up at me with great resentment.

“You… you’ve changed…”

“…”

I had no way to refute that either. Yes, I might have become addicted to the female body, perhaps my moral compass had been a little broken…

I changed my expression to a serious one and blurted out a single sentence to Violet.

“But you felt good, didn’t you?”

“…”

Violet didn’t answer, but her subtly flushed cheeks soon indicated affirmation.

I let out a small laugh and turned my gaze back to the night sky.

There wasn’t much rest time left. Even if I hadn’t yet decided on the attitude I should adopt, I needed to prepare myself mentally.

The Moonlight Cult and their ongoing plan, and also the impending ‘destruction’ of the otherworld.

Placing various values on the scales, I now had to rack my brain.

I had a duty to conserve my energy in preparation for such situations…

And the method I would choose for that was, of course—

“Violet.”

“Hm?”

“Come out to the bench in front of the dormitory tomorrow evening.”

“…Huh? Why, why?”

“To have outdoor play.”

“…?!”

Without a doubt, it was sex. I curled my lips into a knowing smile, putting on a mischievous expression, and Violet’s eyelashes fluttered.

Today I rolled around with Cheon Soyul. And I only have three days left, don’t I?

‘Then I can do it three more times.’

I had enough energy to spend three more hot nights until then. Tomorrow with Violet, the day after with Kanzaki, and the day after that with Rachel—

“Hmm.”

It was an excellent plan. A plan so excellent that if I told Cheon Soyul, I would undoubtedly get hit…

When I confided this idea to Violet, as if it were a secret whispered in a bamboo forest—

“…You’re insane. You’re truly insane.”

“Oh.”

“You, you monster consumed by lust…!”

Her face, unlike that of an S-rank villain, became like that of a trembling girl as she berated me with all her might. It stung a little.

Just you wait until tomorrow evening. I’m really going to have my way with you then.
