Japanese Terrorist: What? I'll fight Hellstar!

I'm going to skin you alive!

Such words are often used by the stronger party to reprimand the weaker party, not because they are truly intended to, nor can they actually, skin anyone alive.

However, in this apartment now, that statement has become a statement of fact.

Tomie stood barefoot in the middle of the living room, her perfectly naked body exposed to the air. Her long, black hair fell down, making her skin appear even more fair and white, and making the red marks on her skin even more noticeable.

Amamiya Rin stood behind Tomie, his left thumb and forefinger pinching a small tuft of hair at the back of Tomie's head, while his right hand held a slender fruit knife, the tip of which gently pressed against the back of the jumpsuit's collar.

The fabric burst open in a line.

The blade slowly pulled down, not fast, but exceptionally steady, drawing a straight vertical line along the curve of the spine.

He didn't stop until the tip of the knife landed on the hem of the skirt.

Tossing the fruit knife aside on the coffee table, Amamiya Rin pinched the edge of the torn fabric with her fingertips, inserted her index fingers into the gap, and spread them apart.

It went so smoothly it was uncomfortably easy.

A piercing tearing sound rang out in the quiet living room as Amamiya Rin ripped an even bigger hole in the ripped piece of the bodysuit.

Then, he slipped his hands inside, stroking Kawakami Tomie's skin, and, enduring the discomfort, slid them upwards, widening the gap in the bodysuit to the top of her head, as if taking off a pullover, flipping it over in front of her, and then slowly pulling it down.

It really took a lot of time and effort.

Only when the last bit of fabric had completely slipped from Tomie's ankles did Amamiya Rin straighten up and let out a long breath.

Only after the fabric completely slipped from Tomie's ankles did Amamiya Rin straighten up and let out a long breath.

He was carrying a complete bodysuit, which hung softly, still maintaining the body's shape and warmth, except for a straight slit in the back.

If a zipper is sewn on, perhaps it can be worn again.

Tomie was already completely naked; the word "naked" had lost its meaning for her.

Dark red patterns appeared before Amamiya Rin's eyes. Kawakami Tomie's eye sockets and lips formed soft depressions, and her chest expanded and contracted slightly with her breathing. Every muscle was so large and distinct.

It's hard to imagine that such a person could still be alive? Could they even stand up?

"It's incredibly ugly!"

The head resting on the sofa made a blunt complaint.

That was Tomie's head. After growing overnight, most of the chest and shoulders had grown out. It would take another day or two to fully heal.

Her body had completely grown her head out.

Of course, the Tomie Kawakami experiencing the alchemy ointment today is not the reborn Tomie.

Instead, it was one of the original Tomie, who also aimed to become a vampire. She had rushed back from out of town early in the morning and was also one of the Tomie who had been cursed and whose appearance had been altered.

Hearing Tomie's mockery, Kawakami Tomie turned her head and stared fiercely at the human head. Her exposed jaw muscles bulged from the force, making her look as ferocious and terrifying as a painted skin ghost.

"Hmph! Still acting so arrogant with only a head left!"

Kawakami Tomie strode towards Tomie, exuding an aura of anger.

Unable to refute Tomie, she decided to take revenge through concrete actions.

"Help! Ah Lin, she's trying to bully me!"

Having no self-respect whatsoever, Tomie immediately called for help from Amamiya Rin.

"You just had to be so sarcastic; who can you blame for making her angry?"

Amamiya Rin shook her head slightly and spread Tomie's bodysuit on the coffee table.

Behind her, Kawakami Tomie grabbed Tomie's hair and lifted her up.

"What are you doing! Let go! Do you believe I'll bite you to death!"

Tomie swayed wildly in mid-air, opening her mouth to bite the other's wrist, but was easily dodged.

Kawakami Tomie sneered, grabbed Tomie's hair with both hands, swung her arms in a wide arc, turning her into a giant windmill, and making her spin around in the air.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Tomie screamed in agony as her vision blurred.

The sofa, the ceiling, Amamiya Rin, and that red, skinless body flashed in and out.

Her long hair was pulled painfully, the wind howled, and her newly grown shoulder drew a messy arc in the air.

"Alright, stop playing around. That's enough revenge, isn't it?"

After waiting a while, Amamiya Rin finally spoke up to stop it.

Tomie Kawakami paused for a moment, clearly still wanting more.

She deliberately spun around a couple more times before slowly stopping and tossing the dizzy Tomie onto the sofa.

With a "plop!" Tomie's face slammed into the cushion.

She struggled to turn her face away, her eyes blurry, and she kept cursing, "Bastard... I'm going to kill you... I'm definitely going to kill you..."

"Hmph, you? Kill me? With your mouth?"

Tomie Kawakami crossed her arms, her bare chest muscles rising and falling with her breath. Although she looked terrifying, her arrogance remained undiminished.

"How does it feel?"

While Kawakami Tomie and Tomie were bickering, Amamiya Rin poked Kawakami Tomie's body with his index finger.

It has a soft and supple feel, like touching a delicate and elastic fabric.

Its surface is smooth with clear, tactile textures; you can feel subtle undulations with a little pressure from your fingers, and it feels warm and strange.

"It's a little cold, a little strange, and a little itchy."

Tomie Kawakami found it difficult to adapt to this terrifying form, nor was she willing to adapt, so she deliberately accelerated her regenerative abilities.

"Itching is normal. Nerve endings are directly exposed to the air and without the protection of skin, moisture will be lost quickly."

Tomie's self-healing ability took effect very quickly.

In just one minute, a complete layer of new skin covered her entire body, and her snow-white skin was no different from her original skin.

Of course, even if there were any differences, due to the curse of the Apologetic Demon, Amamiya Rin wouldn't be able to tell.

Meanwhile, the bodysuit that had been stripped off on the coffee table was also undergoing self-healing.

However, it takes at least two or three days for a bodysuit to grow into a complete human body.

Having fully recovered, Kawakami Tomie rushed into the bedroom. When she came out, she had changed into a simple white dress.

The morning light just happened to spill across the windowsill and envelop her.

Her newborn skin was dazzlingly white, like freshly fired porcelain, radiating a clean, soft glow. Standing in the light and shadow, she resembled the first new leaf after the rain, possessing a natural, unadorned purity.

She walked to Yu Gonglin's side, naturally took his arm, looked up at him, and spoke in a slightly coquettish tone.

"Ah Lin, come with me for a walk. Just around here, and we can grab breakfast. I've been traveling all morning, and I'm starving."

Looking at her, Amamiya Rin could sense her true feelings.

She sought out a man to verify whether her appearance had been restored.

At the same time, give Tomie's head some time to recover, and after returning, use Tomie's head as a sacrifice to hold the ritual to make her a vampire.
