My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

Kouta was initially confused and bewildered. He gently rubbed his eyes until he could clearly see that the naked girl lying on his chest was Eileen.

A jolt ran through him, as if struck by a bolt of lightning, or as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over him from head to toe. His whole body went numb, and his sleepiness vanished instantly. He sat up straight in bed.

The rough movement naturally woke Eileen. Still half asleep, she didn't seem to notice Kouta yet, and instead stretched, displaying her graceful figure to the fullest.

Of course, more importantly, the messy marks on the girl's fair, milk-like skin seemed to be silently accusing her of the brutal treatment she had suffered the previous night.

After stretching, the girl noticed Kouta beside her.

then,

"what--!!"

A piercing scream cut through the sky like a sharp blade.

"Get out! Get out of here!"

Eileen struggled to get out of bed, wrapped the blanket around herself to cover her pale skin, grabbed a pillow and started hitting Kouta's face while yelling and cursing, her voice a mix of anger and grievance.

"You scoundrel! Hypocrite! Bastard! Villain! Liar! Villain!..."

Kouta was completely stunned, especially when he saw the glaring red bloodstain on the bed, which was practically irrefutable evidence of his evil deeds.

Before he could think any further, amidst Eileen's barrage of accusations, he staggered off the bed, grabbed his clothes, and fled the room in a disheveled state.

Chapter 497 Confession

Kōta lay blankly in a guest room.

This is a guest room on the second floor. Although it is a guest room, the furnishings and decorations are full of luxurious atmosphere.

A carpet covered the solid wood floor, and a large bed more than three meters wide sat in the center of the room. In the corner of the room was a bookcase filled with books, and a desk faced the window. The window was half-open, and bright sunlight streamed into the room, making it shine.

He recalled what had just happened and had a strange, inexplicable feeling.

Just now.

Miss Eileen's scream alerted everyone in the mansion, and Chairman Abel naturally found out as well.

When Eileen saw her father, she began to cry and recount what had happened the night before.

According to her, she drank too much last night and then knocked on her door. She thought it was a maid, so she opened the door directly.

As soon as the door opened, he grabbed her and forcibly kissed her. After that, she tried to resist, but as a weak woman, she was no match for Kouta's strength. Moreover, the room was very soundproof, and she gradually passed out until she woke up the next day...

After hearing Eileen's words, he couldn't explain it, because he had absolutely no memory of last night.

Then... he got engaged to Eileen, and they would get married as soon as he became a Grand Knight.

This was the solution proposed by Chairman Abel, which was beneficial to both parties. Kouta, feeling guilty, had no choice but to agree.

But now, Kouta is alone and quietly staying in the guest room.

As he recalled the whole incident, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he might have been "tricked into a honey trap".

However, he couldn't remember what happened last night and couldn't be sure.

"system?"

"The system is here."

"What exactly happened last night?" Kouta asked.

"The host got drunk last night and then slept soundly until dawn."

"that's it?"

"That's it," the system's cool female voice replied.

"Sigh~" Kouta sighed regretfully, feeling unwilling, "I thought I had really struck it lucky in love, but it turned out to be a false alarm. But since it was Hui who said it, she definitely wouldn't lie to me."

"Hmph, at least you have some self-awareness—" The system's cold voice trailed off abruptly halfway through its sentence.

The situation became extremely awkward for a moment.

"..."

Even though he couldn't see Kei's expression, Kouta could imagine how embarrassed Kei was.

Several minutes passed before Kouta tentatively asked, "Hui, are you... alright?"

A short while later.

The system's voice—no, it has now been changed back to Hui's original, heavenly voice.

"How did you find out?" Hui's voice was melodious and pleasant, completely different from the cold female voice just now. Her voice was full of shame and embarrassment.

Kouta smiled and explained, "I didn't notice it at first, but then I thought about it and realized that although the voice changed, the way Hui spoke didn't change."

And for some reason, whenever I talk to the system, I always feel a great sense of security, which is why I guessed it was Hui. However, I wasn't sure yet, so I used a little trick.

After explaining, Kouta asked, "Hui, why won't you see me? And why are you pretending to be a system?"

At that moment, Kouta saw a point of light fly out of his head.

Then it transformed into a stunningly beautiful figure, which was none other than his wife whom he had longed for day and night.

Hui was wearing a formal gown-like dress at this moment.

The dress clung tightly to Hui's slender figure, highlighting her delicate waist, which seemed so small it could be grasped in one hand. The dress opened into a V-neck at the chest, revealing her two soft, white breasts, half-hidden, half-revealed. Her exquisite collarbones and fragrant shoulders were directly displayed in front of Kouta.

The skirt's hem was layered, like a blooming flower spreading outwards, with a slit in the center that went all the way to the top of her thighs, revealing her beautiful, shapely, long legs and her delicate, smooth, and tender skin.

The clothes were clearly quite revealing, but on Hui, they appeared incredibly sacred.

When Kouta saw this familiar face, he could no longer contain himself. He took two steps forward and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly as if he wanted to forever meld her into his embrace.

He buried his head in Hui's waist-length hair, greedily inhaling her scent, the familiar touch, her slender waist, her elasticity, her fragrance—everything was so familiar.

I miss you so much, I miss you so much!

Kōta held Hui tightly around the waist, refusing to let go.

Hui remained unresisted as Kōta held her, and the worry on her beautiful face began to melt away.

They hugged like that for a long time.

Kōta loosened his grip slightly, but still didn't loosen it around Hui's slender waist.

"Hui, shouldn't you explain yourself now?"

Upon hearing this, Hui's face flushed instantly, like a child being reprimanded by their parents for doing something wrong. Her stunningly beautiful face burned, and her dark eyes fluttered. Tears streamed down her face like a broken string of pearls, quickly soaking Kouta's clothes. Her voice, trembling with sobs, was full of self-reproach:

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry..."

Kouta was at a loss for what to do. He didn't know why Hui was crying. Had he said something wrong? He comforted Hui's back again and again with heartache, and said gently, "Hui, don't cry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have forced you to explain. I'll never make you explain again."

Hearing Kouta say this, Kei, who was nestled in Kouta's arms, cried even harder, and in a tearful voice, she said intermittently:

"I...I killed you! Not only you, but many, many people. Will you still like me?"

Hui felt extremely guilty. No matter the reason, she had killed Kouta with her own hands, or rather, she almost killed him.

Perhaps this matter is insignificant in Kouta's eyes, but in Huirou's soft and sensitive heart, she has hurt her dearest lover.

It's like that news story that once aired on TV: a child's unintentional act led to his parents' death in a car accident. Although his deceased parents might not blame him, could he forgive himself for doing such a thing? Probably not, and he would live with guilt for the rest of his life.

Hui felt this way. Although she could say it was an unintentional act by her true self, the fact is that Kouta was almost killed by her.

Hui couldn't get over it herself, couldn't deceive herself that it was all an accident, couldn't deceive herself to forget it all. With such immense guilt, she dared not come out to see Kouta.

She even saw Kouta being intimate with other women as a form of punishment for herself.

Kouta quickly reassured him, "It's alright, it's all over now. Look, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?..."

With Kouta's comforting words, Hui's crying gradually subsided.

Once Hui calmed down, Kōta continued to ask what had happened.

Hui also told him everything except about her past life.

She told him that she had accidentally obtained a divine essence, which gave her the ability to travel through the world;

I told him...;

He told him that he couldn't control his power when he became a god, and that it affected him;

He told him that at the last moment, he had carried his remnant soul and a drop of blood, traversing countless times and spaces to arrive in this world;

He told him that when he came into this world, his power was almost exhausted, and he was unable to fully repair his soul and body before falling into a deep sleep in his consciousness, which is why he had been suffering from amnesia for half a year.

After listening to the information and filtering out the less important details, Kouta was completely stunned.

He stared in astonishment at the delicate, stunningly beautiful woman in his arms, unable to believe that this was... a god!?

'God, is this how it is?'

No, no!

Is it really okay for me to just hold God in my arms like this?

This is blasphemy!

No! Blasphemy is far too inadequate to describe his "sin." In the eyes of religious believers, my actions are utterly heinous! Unforgivable! The kind of sin that even the deepest hell couldn't atone for!

Hui seemed to sense something, looked up at him, her teary eyes still moist, and her face flushed as she said, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing, no, I mean, Hui gained the ability to travel between worlds after that incident?" Kouta quickly changed the subject.

"Mmm." Little Hui nodded, pecking at the rice.

"And then, Hui would often travel through the world to collect souls?"

"Don't you... think I'm cruel?" Hui's heart pounded as she finished speaking. What she feared most was that Kouta would hate her for this.

Her body is similar to a Heroic Spirit from the Type-Moon universe; it can take on a spirit form or a physical form. Once materialized, it's no different from a human, with flesh and blood, sensation, and body temperature...

Kouta noticed the tension in the person in his arms. He released Kei, gazed into her eyes, and said with utmost seriousness:

"No matter what you are in your heart, no matter what you have done, you are you, the woman I love most in my life, the woman I am willing to give everything for, and that will never change!"

"—"

Hui's heart melted instantly, turning into a sea of ​​honey. She threw herself into Kouta's arms, saying nothing, but no words could express the happiness and contentment she felt at that moment. She wished she could give him her whole heart.

Although her heart already belonged to him.
