“Who’s there?”
“It’s me, Yukino Yukinoshita.”
A cool, elegant female voice drifted from behind the door.
Yuto swung the door open to find the black-haired girl standing poised in the doorway.
“To prevent…
a situation like the one we had at Berkeley High School, where we were ambushed by the Hunter, everyone has decided to group up and stay in the same room for tonight—the first night,” Yukino explained calmly.
“So, you chose me?” Yuto raised an eyebrow slightly.
“Yes.
Because you’re the strongest, and your room is also quite nice.”
Yukino spoke concisely, admitting it without hesitation.
“As expected of you…
Come in.” Yuto stepped aside, allowing the girl to enter the room.
She scanned the space cautiously and gave a quiet nod.
“I’d like the inner room, if you don’t mind.”
In private, this was her first time being so close to a boy, alone together.
Let alone spending the entire night in the same room.
A flicker of bashfulness still stirred in Yukino’s heart.
“Suit yourself.” Yuto spread his hands.
“You know my rules.
Letting you stay in my room isn’t free.”
“What do I have to pay?” Yukino’s expression changed.
She hadn’t expected this twist and instinctively crossed her arms over her chest.
“Do those little buns even need covering?” Yuto’s lips curled into a mocking smirk.
Her pretty face instantly flushed crimson.
She glanced down at her flat chest and snapped, “What’s that supposed to mean?!
I’m still growing…
Stop looking at me with that pitying gaze!!”
“And—and anything…
H-related…
is absolutely out of the question…!!”
“Relax.
With that guarded look of yours, you couldn’t even stir my interest,” Yuto chuckled, strolling past her.
“My requirements are simple.
Since you’re staying in my room and enjoying my protection, you must fulfill the corresponding obligations.”
“First, you’ll prepare my three meals a day, do my laundry, and attend to me while I bathe.”
“When I’m feeling tired, you’ll proactively put on a maid outfit and give me a massage to relieve my fatigue.”
“Don’t worry about the clothes.
I grabbed plenty from the clothing store.”
Just as he finished speaking—
Yukino’s blue eyes widened, and she stared at him in disbelief.
What did you say?
Could you repeat that?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly.
“I believe I’ve made myself clear.” Yuto fixed his gaze on her, his tone tinged with mockery.
“Do you really think there’s such a thing as a free lunch in this world?”
Yukino’s expression stiffened.
She bit her lip, her body trembling faintly.
This man is truly outrageous.
To demand that I massage him…
and even attend to his daily needs.
But deep down, Yukino knew she had no choice.
After all, Yuto was far stronger than she was.
Fairly speaking, in this apocalyptic world, Yuto was already being generous.
If he were even more ruthless, he could have completely shot all the boys dead, taken possession of all the girls, and lived an utterly depraved life every night.
“I…
I understand.”
Finally, the young woman bit her thin lip and gave a small, reluctant nod.
“Then start by massaging my muscles…”
Without the slightest psychological burden, Yuto lay down on the bed as if it were only natural and beckoned to Yukino.
“…”
Helpless, the black-haired girl had no choice but to quickly change into the white-stockinged maid outfit and reluctantly approach him.
“Here, put on these cat ears,” Yuto smilingly took out a pair of gray cat-ear hair accessories.
“…” She took them with a stiff gesture, her mind wracked with a fierce internal struggle before she finally, reluctantly, placed them on her head.
It had to be said.
With the cat ears, this once icy beauty instantly seemed a little more lively.
Beneath the cute pink dress, her slender legs were wrapped in alluring white stockings, their texture smooth and elastic.
Her small, delicate feet rested on the floor, looking exquisite and cute.
And so it was.
The cold-faced cat-ear maid bent her tender knees, slowly extending her soft, fair hands to begin massaging the boy.
“Not bad.
Your technique is mediocre, but at least you’re putting in the effort,” Yuto commented, lounging comfortably on the large bed.
Although Yukino was unskilled at massage, she took the task seriously.
Her technique was clumsy, yet she never slacked off.
Yuto hadn’t asked for a massage merely for discipline.
After activating the “Extreme Realm,” his body was utterly exhausted.
His muscles were sore and swollen, on the verge of collapsing under the strain.
Until he could fully master the Extreme Realm, he would have to endure these side effects.
Each activation required at least three days of rest before it could be used again.
Failure to do so would inevitably lead to severe physical breakdown.
In the apocalypse, no one could guarantee that the next moment wouldn’t bring an unforeseen disaster.
Although Yuto wanted to master Extreme Realm as soon as possible, he still had no choice but to restrain himself and avoid falling into an awkward situation where he lacked the stamina to face a crisis.
At all times, he had to maintain sufficient physical strength. The source of this chapter is novelping.com.
After the massage, Yukino’s hands were trembling with fatigue, but she gritted her teeth and persisted without a single word of complaint.
“You’ve worked hard.
I’ll handle dinner.”
Seeing her drenched in sweat and barely able to stand, Yuto decided to cook dinner himself.
After scavenging, he discovered that the hotel kitchen still had gas canisters and a portable stove.
He lit the stove.
Then, he found some still-fresh vegetables in the kitchen, a few cans of luncheon meat, and a large bag of instant noodles, quickly whipping up a simple pot of noodles.
“Here, eat up.”
Steaming mist rose from the pot, carrying the irresistible aroma of boiling food.
Exhausted and starving, Yukino swallowed hard and reached for the bowl and chopsticks Yuto handed her.
Compared to Hayama’s group, who could only eat cold leftovers…
Right now, she was actually eating a piping hot meal…
Even though Yukino was reluctant to admit it, she couldn’t help but feel a small flicker of joy in her heart.
“A tomato base really is perfect for instant noodles.”
Yuto was also starving.
He hadn’t eaten nearly enough on the school bus.
The two of them set down their chopsticks almost simultaneously.
The springy, smooth noodles paired with the rich tomato broth, loaded with vegetables and luncheon meat.
Though it was a simple meal, Yukino ate with sheer delight.
In the end, they were practically fighting over the last slice of luncheon meat at the bottom of the pot, even drinking the broth clean.
Burp…
Yukino clutched her bulging little stomach and couldn’t help but let out a loud burp.
The next instant, a flush of embarrassment washed over her delicate, beautiful face.
What’s gotten into me…?
Under Yuto’s influence, she had completely abandoned her proper young lady’s etiquette…
Eating a tomato hot pot in a hotel suite with a boy she’d only just met.
In the past, her strict mother would have scolded her severely for such unsightly behavior.
“I wonder…
if my sister would make fun of me if she saw me like this.”
Gazing out at the pitch-black night sky, the girl’s face wore a complex expression.
“Ah, finally full.”
Yuto wasn’t in the mood for such sentimental thoughts.
He’d devoured five packs of instant noodles and then cooked another pot of spicy hot pot before he finally felt satisfied.
The agonizing hunger had finally subsided.
This gave him a new understanding of the needs that came with activating the Extreme Realm.
Damn, with this kind of gluttonous eating, the hotel’s food reserves won’t last long.
