“Little one, you know…
there aren’t many things that catch my interest.”
“This coffee…
and you, are today’s delightful surprises!”
Rize leaned down, her bewitching face now mere inches from Kouma’s.
Close enough to feel each breath she exhaled.
“Indeed…
you smell wonderfully sweet.”
Rize inhaled deeply, her crimson eyes flickering with predatory delight.
The coffee had fully awakened her appetite—but the small little boy before her emitted an even more irresistible scent.
She could wait no longer.
A deep red hue consumed her irises as a ghastly, blood-red Kagune—resembling a writhing tentacle—extended from her waist, coiling tightly around the boy.
“Little one…
will you let me devour you?”
Hmm.
Kouma had also reached his limit.
“Big sister, which part of me do you want to eat?”
His calm, childish voice gave Rize pause.
This reaction…
was completely unlike any of her past victims.
Most children would have already screamed in terror by now.
Instinctively, she sensed something was wrong.
In a world with organizations like the Hero Association and the CCG (Commission of Counter Ghoul), ghouls didn’t have it easy.
Rize typically hunted with caution, ensuring her targets posed no threat before striking.
But today’s prey was just a harmless-looking little boy—his innocent appearance lowered her guard to near zero.
And now, driven by hunger and impulse, she had already acted.
“He’s not ordinary!”
The moment this realization struck, panic surged through her.
She couldn’t move.
Time had stopped.
From Kouma’s perspective, the entire universe froze in an instant.
“So this is the feeling of controlling time…”
He gazed at the motionless world around him, awestruck.
“Subarashii!”
Gripping Rize’s Kagune wrapped around him, he tore it apart with brute strength.
“My strength has improved a lot!”
Clenching his fists, Kouma nodded in satisfaction.
Before his dual cultivation session with Miko, ripping apart Rize’s Kagune barehanded would have been difficult. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
“As expected, dual cultivation is the true path!”
Only a fool would refuse such an efficient shortcut.
Kouma decided—he must deepen his “studies” with Miko for mutual growth!
But for now…
Ten seconds of time stop was, in a way, both short and long.
Too short for certain activities.
But in battle?
More than enough to turn the tide and slaughter enemies.
Right now, Rize was nothing more than fish on a chopping board.
Yet Kouma had no intention of killing her outright.
For an incubus, a living woman held far more value than a corpse.
Especially one with considerable strength!
If she proved disobedient?
He’d simply train her.
With his arsenal of ero abilities, was there any doubt?
His thoughts flashed by in an instant.
Leaning close to Rize’s ear, he whispered:
“Big sister, if you want to eat me…
you’ll have to play a game first.”
He activated Woman Pleasure Hands.
Then retrieved a long-unused item from his system inventory—
[Righteousness Marker Pen]
Write the character “正” (righteous) on the inner thigh to permanently dominate the target.
(Note: Ink only lasts for three writings.
Marks cannot be erased.
Use wisely!)
Though time was frozen, Rize’s mind remained active.
She could still feel everything happening to her body—she just couldn’t comprehend why she couldn’t move.
Then— Agony.
Her Kagune had been ripped apart.
Before she could process the pain—Pleasure.
Overwhelming, dizzying pleasure.
“What…
is this…?”
Her consciousness blurred, spiraling into euphoric oblivion.
By the moment time resumed her mind shattered.
Rize collapsed instantly, her body deprived of all strength.
“What…
did you do to me…?”
Her voice, though meant to sound threatening, came out weak and trembling.
Even ignoring her vicious nature, her beauty was undeniably devastating—especially in this state.
Kouma met her dazed gaze, waving the marker pen casually.
“I just…
practiced my handwriting on you.”
He could now sense every fluctuation in Rize’s emotions—panic, wariness, lingering pleasure…
“After playing the game, big sister…
you belong to me now.”
The childish voice should have sounded absurd.
Yet—the next moment, the light faded from Rize’s crimson eyes as she knelt before the little boy.
“Master…”
Kouma couldn’t help but sigh.
“I’ve finally walked the path of an ero protagonist…
even if just for three seconds.”
[LV1.
Mind Alteration] only lasted three seconds—but even after the effect wore off, the seed had been planted.
Soon, Rize snapped back to reality, horrified by her own actions.
“Master…?”
“I called him…
Master?”
“This child can manipulate my thoughts…
I need to escape!”
Gritting her teeth, she prepared for a desperate fight—only for the little boy’s voice to cut through her resolve.
“Big sister was so obedient…
here’s your reward.”
SLAP!
The familiar sensation returned.
Rize’s lips parted in a silent gasp as her body melted once more.
…
Meanwhile, inside STARRY…
B-Komachi’s performance reached its climax.
The crowd’s roars drowned out everything else—including the faint noises from beneath the bar counter.
At least, until Hitori and the others returned.
