What if you are reborn as a demon after a funeral?.

This made him unable to resist secretly kiss her lips at the corner before he stepped into the house, causing Kama, who was still exhausted and drowsy, to widen her eyes in an instant.

But surprisingly, she didn't frown; instead, with a reluctant expression, she turned her still-flushed face away.

"You pervert, is this the state that excites you the most? Disgusting, humans... no, even gods are more disgusting than humans! Why would I like a pervert like you, really..."

Her voice grew softer and softer, and her last sentence was almost a soliloquy, but the blush on her face became even more pronounced.

She looked so adorable. If Ash hadn't been so exhausted from all that playing with her and wasn't currently in a state of bliss, he probably would have been tempted to tease her some more.

.............................

The breakfast chef was kidnapped, but fortunately, Miyu and Rin took over the job of making breakfast, ensuring that the hungry children didn't go hungry.

But when Ash and Kama returned that evening, they noticed that the girls' expressions were not quite right.

Especially during meals, Rin's behavior was particularly exaggerated. She gripped the chopsticks tightly as if they were weapons, rubbing them against the table until they even produced wood shavings, which looked rather frightening.

Ash, who was engrossed in his meal, felt uncomfortable under Rin's gaze and was forced to glance up slightly.

"What are you doing? The way you're holding the chopsticks is so weird, it looks like you're going to stab someone with them."

"...It's not like, it's because I want to fuck you right now!!" Rin's voice sounded like it was being squeezed out from between her teeth, and her face was full of a forced, insincere smile.

"You look rather creepy today. Anyone who didn't know better would think we've had some strange conflict... And you two sisters, stop this. You always have to interfere in other people's business. I'm really scared." He shook his head with a pained expression. "Let's try to be peaceful, okay? Here, take this hamburger patty."

"—Do you think I'm some kind of kid who can be easily fooled with a little feed?!" Rin slammed her fist on the table in a fit of rage, but Ash was equally "b"—he casually picked up Miyu, placing the little girl on his lap, and shook his head repeatedly with feigned regret.

"You actually used Miyu's homemade dinner as animal feed? Even Kama and Jeanne wouldn't do something like that, right? And you actually... Ah, Miyu, don't be sad. She just has a really bad personality, she wasn't targeting you on purpose."

"Gurgle...?!" The moment Ace was picked up, even though Rin wanted to penetrate him, she hesitated, realizing she'd said the wrong thing. She even frantically waved her hands, explaining, "--No, no! Miyu! I absolutely didn't say you did anything wrong! It's just this guy's attitude..."

"It's alright, I didn't mind at all." Miyu smiled gently and shook her head.

Ash, however, deliberately played a trick on her, pressing his hands against Miyu's cheeks to force the child to look up at him, and asked with a smile, "Really? You don't mind at all? You have to tell the truth, okay? Good children don't lie, right?"

"...I do mind a little." Miyu seemed quite embarrassed, glancing at Rin and then at him, before reluctantly admitting it in a low voice.

This made Rin feel as if she had been hit by an invisible arrow, and her whole body trembled. Although she glared at Ash, she could only apologize with a bitter face and her hands clasped together in front of her chest.

Faced with all this, Miyu could only feel somewhat helpless. She quietly poked his stomach from below, as if to tell him that there was a limit to how much you should bully others, but she didn't say anything to him.

Kama, however, couldn't stand seeing his sister being bullied, so he followed suit and kicked him under the table without making a sound.

Despite these minor incidents, the overall atmosphere of dinner was quite harmonious... of course, this is assuming we ignore Rin's murderous gaze.

.............................

That night, the moon was not visible in the sky, probably because the fine snow was still falling.

Kama was exhausted after a whole day of fussing, and after finishing his meal, he felt sleepy and went to bed early.

Ash came to the courtyard, casually brushed the snow off the bench, and sat down with a cup of coffee in his hand.

The hot breath he exhaled instantly turned into a thick cloud of white mist, spreading through the cold air, but he personally felt it had quite the feel of winter.

But then, he glanced at his side and saw Ilya in the yard, also breathing out white breath, gazing at the snow scene in a daze.

But when she noticed Ash's gaze, Ilya, like a frightened little rabbit, once again hurriedly tried to run away.

"...What exactly did I do to offend Ilya?"

He was filled with distress, but before he could think about it, a long leg wrapped in black stockings that reached past his knees landed heavily on the chair next to him with a "thud".

The moment I turned around, I saw Rin standing behind me with her hands on her hips, her face ashen and her expression menacing.

The haughty girl with twin ponytails looked down at him, her eyes burning with rage.

"Where did you and Kama go today? You disappeared all day, and when you came back, she looked like that... What did you do to her?"

Ash, looking completely innocent, picked up his coffee, took a small sip, deliberately ignoring Rin's murderous glare, and gave a vague answer:

"We just went to church and prayed together... Is there a problem?"

"You prayed? You're clearly a priest! How can you talk about prayer so casually?!"

"...This is a little different from normal prayer..."

"Unlike normal? Could it be that he touched Kama inappropriately while he was praying?!" Rin's voice suddenly rose, her eyes filled with shock and anger.

"No, no, no, that's absolutely not true!"

To be precise, he hadn't prayed at all, so it couldn't be considered that he had touched or groped anyone while praying! He felt that what he said was completely correct, and even thinking about it, he felt that he had a clear conscience.

But having a clear conscience at this moment only made Rin more annoyed.

"Do you take me for a three-year-old? Kama's walking is all wrong, and you dare say you didn't lay a hand on her?"

Rin became increasingly agitated as she spoke, leaning slightly forward with her fists clenched tightly, as if she were about to pounce on Ash and give him a good beating at any moment, while muttering incessantly like a vengeful spirit:

"From the very first day I met you! I knew you had ulterior motives towards Sakura! Maybe you did something strange to her when she was little! That's why Sakura's expression was so distressed when she talked about you at first... That must be it!"

"...Why are you bringing up old grievances all day? And now you're even resorting to malicious slander? In the beginning, it was just that Sakura and I weren't very close..."

"Because you're too suspicious! You don't look like a good person at all, and you even adopted Sakura, there's definitely something wrong with you!"

"...I only took care of you a little, but to be slandered to this extent for being a good person is strangely refreshing. But you should calm down first, okay? Okay, okay."

Ash, who just wanted to have a quiet cup of coffee to calm down, raised his hand to touch Rin's head, trying to comfort her, but... he was almost instantly brushed away.

"Don't touch me, you pervert! I'm warning you, stay away from Kama, or I'll... Waaah?!"

Rin glared angrily and, while speaking, pushed Ash again, but Ash couldn't be moved. With one foot on the chair and the other on a thin layer of ice formed by accumulated water, Ash slipped due to the reaction force and fell to the ground with a scream.

Looking at the girl lying on the ground, clutching her bottom in a disheveled state, Ash felt conflicted: What should I do? Should I laugh now? Or should I comfort her first, build up the atmosphere, and then tease her?

That troubled expression, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't, angered Rin a second time, making her tremble with rage and her eyes sharp as if she wanted to kill:

"What are you looking at! What's so interesting?! Haven't you ever seen someone fall down before?"

Seeing Rin's furious outburst, Ash suddenly found it amusing and couldn't help but tease her, "You're always angry, aren't you tired?"

“Because… she’s jealous.” Just then, Kama’s voice drifted down from above.

"—No, no! Don't talk nonsense! How could I be jealous of this guy? I just can't stand him bullying my sister—huh?!"

Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, Rin denied it vehemently while suddenly standing up and trying to kick Ash.

However, he accidentally slipped again and his body fell uncontrollably toward Ash.

Although he didn't quite understand why this person always emphasized elegance, but seemed to always make mistakes and mess things up when excited... Ash still reacted quickly and reached out to hug this troublesome girl.

"Rin... she actually pretended to fall and deliberately pounced on Ash. That was so premeditated. Disgusting."

Kama, looking exhausted, began to complain with a gloomy expression, as always without holding back.

"N-no, that's not it!" Rin vehemently denied. "Seriously, weren't you asleep?! Why are you here again?!"

"...You've been making a racket under my window the whole time, so why do you think I woke up?" Kama replied curtly, his face dark, leaving Rin speechless and embarrassed. "Uh, this..."

"—You're so annoying! Hurry up and get up here!"

While Rin was still hesitating, unsure of what to do, Kama impatiently scolded her.

This was completely unlike the attitude a normal younger sister would have, yet Rin, feeling inexplicably guilty, was still forced to nod, glaring at Ash with resentment: "It's all your fault! Explain yourself later!"

"...No, you really want to go? And...what am I supposed to explain?"

Just for having coffee here, he was inexplicably slandered... or maybe it wasn't slander, but Rin's submissive attitude towards her sister made Ash a little amusing.

Despite his complaints, he was still dragged and pulled into the room by Rin, who had an expression that looked like she was going to her execution, and headed upstairs.

.............................

.............................

Ever since being struck by Cupid's arrow, the emotions that Rin had been suppressing in her heart have burst forth like a flood, becoming impossible to contain.

When facing Kama, she was filled with guilt and didn't even dare to look her sister in the eye. She could only use harsh words to target Ash in an extreme way, trying to suppress the crazy thoughts in her heart, leaving Ash, who was unaware of the truth, completely confused.

Driven by guilt, Rin did not run away. She suppressed her inner turmoil and dragged the extremely unwilling Ash to Kama's door.

But the moment the door opened, a sharp arrow shot out from behind it without warning, piercing straight into Rin's unsuspecting shoulder.

"Huh? W-why?" Rin looked at the familiar petite figure not far away, her face full of astonishment, her expression freezing instantly, but her body uncontrollably felt a surge of heat.

Although this arrow will not harm people, nor is it the kind of evil thing that makes people lose their minds and become beastly, it can... awaken feelings of longing in one's heart and intensify desire.

After doing all this, Kama simply put away the arrows casually, and said with a look of disgust:

"Being tsundere is too much trouble! It's better to just intensify your desire! Stop chattering and getting caught up in romance, it's too much of a hassle! Especially under my nose! All that coyness...it's disgusting! Just go and succumb to depravity!"

"I won't..."

"You think I don't know? Do you think I don't know who you are?" Kama interrupted with his usual dark expression, his tone full of disdain:

"Why should you worry about your sister's feelings? Just do what you want. Do you think I'll be grateful for your concessions? Don't worry, even if you degenerate into livestock, I'll still accept it. So stop agonizing over it!"

"...Are you even human? Think about it, she's Sakura's older sister..." Ash couldn't help but blurt out, before Kama, while locking the door, launched into a barrage of sarcastic remarks:

"—Get this straight, I'm the real Sixth Heaven Demon King, not like that worshipper in Japan! But you know what, right? I'm not some respectable god of love either; I prefer to lure people into depravity... This guy, just like you, pretends to be respectable and even acts like he cares about me, which is what I can't stand. I might as well let you make her cry too! Teach her a good lesson..."

"...I would never do such a thing..." Feeling like he'd been mistaken for someone strange without even realizing it, he couldn't help but explain, "It was you who..."

"—Wait a minute! Also?" Before he could finish speaking, Rin's attention was instantly drawn to the word "also," and she slammed her hand on Ash's shoulder, her sharp gaze glaring up at him: "You made...Sakura cry?! And you did...!"

"Uh... there's a reason for that, and that's Kama, different from Sakura, and you seem to be very..."

"Whatever your reason...! Since that's the case—I won't stand on ceremony with you anymore!!"

"No? Wait a minute, please be polite too..."

"Fine! Whatever your mood! Anyway! Now you better—be prepared!" Rin interrupted him, her face flushed and her aggression palpable as she leaned closer as he instinctively pushed her away.

Clearly, after being persuaded by Kakama, her greatest obstacle, and influenced by the magic of Cupid's arrow, Rin could no longer suppress her impulses.

Just as he was about to escape... Kama, with a malicious smile, suddenly reached out and grabbed his pants.

In an instant, even though the indoor heating was sufficient, Ash still felt the sudden attack of cold air.

Before he could react, the girl with pigtails in front of him forcefully turned his face and kissed him.

At the same time, Kama also took action.

The unfair touch and the intense body heat made everything spiral out of control, like a high-speed train that made it impossible to even apply the brakes.
