At this moment, Issei seriously explained, “It seems my Empathy Magecraft has improved quite a bit today.
I’ll try to delve into your spiritual world and purify the resentment you absorbed into pure energy.” Koyanskaya pursed her gorgeous and full red lips, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the next moment, Issei interlaced their fingers, holding her hand even more intimately.
“!” Instantly, an inexplicable throbbing emotion surged in her heart, causing her full bosom to feel strangely hot, and a captivating blush rose on her cheeks.
“Even for Empathy Magecraft, you don’t need to hold my hand like this.
What exactly are you trying to—” “I just simply wanted to do it.
Is that not allowed?” The young man’s incredibly sincere voice caused Koyanskaya’s voice to abruptly halt.
She subconsciously raised her head and looked at the youthful boy in front of her.
Unbeknownst to them, the distance between the two had become extremely close; Issei’s cheek was only a hair’s breadth away from touching that astonishingly soft and heartwarming warmth.
His soft black hair was slightly disheveled, and a faint smile hung on his rather handsome face.
The moonlight was cold, but the young man’s smile seemed capable of melting a frozen heart; it was the kind that made one feel better the moment they saw him.
Koyanskaya’s previously tense body slowly relaxed.
A warm current seemed to flow from their interlaced hands through her palm into her body.
Thus, the beast, born to take revenge on the human order and humanity, felt her heart gradually speed up.
His hand is so warm…
and so reassuring…
I don’t want to let go of him…
If only he could stay by my side forever— Numerous thoughts flooded her mind.
Finally, she parted her red lips, her voice slightly trembling: “D-do as you like…” After she gave a positive response, Issei finally closed his eyes contentedly and began to probe her spiritual world with a strand of his mental energy.
At this moment, the two were not only in intimate physical contact, but their spirits were also quietly linked.
Koyanskaya stared intently at the young man.
His slightly youthful face was fair and handsome, and he was currently concentrating on using Empathy Magecraft to sense her spiritual world.
He had his eyes closed and seemed unaware of the woman’s gaze, which was filled with greed and longing.
She never actively looked at Issei.
Only when practicing Magus arts or when he was sleeping would Koyanskaya secretly observe him.
As for why she was peeking…
she couldn’t quite explain it.
When she first met him, she had openly scrutinized this human, but the longer she spent with him, the more she grew ‘afraid’ of him.
Now, she only dared to peek at him in this moment, using such a shameful and extremely secretive method.
Why is that…?
Could it be…
that I’m afraid he’ll dislike me?
After a moment of contemplation, she arrived at this answer.
That’s right.
Because she is a beast, the ‘cancer’ of this planet.
Humans are naturally predisposed to feel ‘disgust’ and even ‘fear’ toward a beast, and he was, moreover, a captive she brought here.
If he noticed this special affection that a beast felt for a human, he would surely dislike her, wouldn’t he?
—Although, throughout this entire time, she had never detected the emotion of ‘fear’ in the young man’s eyes.
On the contrary, she often felt a certain special heat in his gaze, and even just now when he held her hand, she could feel the young man’s accelerated heartbeat.
Perhaps he is different from other humans; he won’t dislike or fear my existence…
Her mind was a mess of conflicting thoughts, and Koyanskaya couldn’t help but reach out and gently stroke the young man’s face.
Her fair, slender fingertips slowly traced down his cheek to his chest, and her mature, stunning face slowly drew closer to him.
The distance between the two gradually closed, and she could slowly feel the woman’s sweet breath falling onto the young man’s’sleeping’ face.
At the same time, the young man’s Empathy Magecraft, which was connected to Koyanskaya’s spiritual world, seemed to be nearing its end.
After a period of ‘purification,’ he looked somewhat tired and slowly opened his eyes.
What entered his sight was an exquisitely beautiful face.
Her small, alluring red lips were almost within reach; it felt as if just a tiny bit closer, he could touch that cherry-like sexy mouth.
The soft moonlight perfectly highlighted her mature and voluptuous figure.
Her pink hair was swept up, her neck was long and pale like a swan’s, and her full bosom proudly strained the fabric of her clothing.
Her snow-white skin was smooth as cream, beautiful enough to take one’s breath away.
However, at this moment, Koyanskaya’s beautiful eyes slightly contracted, seemingly not expecting him to open his eyes at this time.
But just as her mind went momentarily blank, she heard the young man’s heartfelt exclamation.
“How beautiful…” That incredibly sincere and emotionally charged compliment caused Koyanskaya’s disorganized mind to crash again.
Eh…?
What is he saying?
Beautiful?
A human is actually praising the beauty of a beast?
While she was still in a daze, the young man proactively leaned forward and gently pressed a kiss upon those soft, alluring red lips.
The thrillingly soft touch and the sweet scent on her lips spread out instantly.
Koyanskaya suddenly widened her eyes as if waking from a dream, her voice faintly trembling: “You…” “What’s wrong?” However, the young man merely blinked, pretending not to understand as he looked at her.
During this period, almost every time he purified resentment or practiced Magus arts, he could feel the woman watching him…
even an idiot would know what that meant.
Perhaps for a Magus, a beast is indeed a very dangerous and terrifying existence, and they certainly wouldn’t view it as a member of the opposite sex.
But for Issei, the other party’s appearance transcended that of a beast!
She was a woman first, and only then was she a beast.
The atmosphere between the two instantly became somewhat ambiguous.
Koyanskaya’s red lips parted slightly.
Logically, his intimate action just now should have earned him a scolding…
but after stewing over it internally for a long time, she found herself unable to utter a single harsh word.
“…N-nothing, let’s sleep.
I’m tired too.” Issei smiled and nodded: “Good night.” Without receiving any response, Koyanskaya hastily left.
Tsundere are truly the most interesting creatures in the world…
and their reaction when faced with a direct approach is just too adorable!
Watching the woman’s retreating figure, Issei couldn’t help but smile.
He could faintly feel the lingering scent of Koyanskaya’s lips on his own.
After a busy day, his mind was already exhausted.
He lay down on the soft, snowy white bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
However, in the dead of the night, he faintly heard a strange sound.
“Sajou-kun…” “Mmm~” In his sleep, he vaguely seemed to hear a certain suppressed yet captivating voice.
Issei awoke from his drowsiness and looked blankly toward the adjacent tent.
It seems…
the sound came from there?
