Great, now we are dead!

After all, you didn't intend to escape punishment and get away with it, right?

"I would be very bothered if I were to be judged by outsiders."

The girl, now completely uninhibited, sneered and said, "The crime of murdering an entire family is too disgusting."

She was a murderer, but not a "sinner," so she refused to be given a dishonorable title.

"I see!"

The boy's eyes lit up, and he looked at her as if he had discovered some rare treasure.

"You're a really special person... If you don't want to stay in this house anymore, would you like to come work for me?"

"..."

What is this person saying?

"Although he is still very young, he should be able to put his skills to good use after two years of training."

"...Are you kidding me? Stop talking nonsense and call the police right now!"

"police?"

The boy countered, "Why should we notify those tax thieves?"

"A prodigy solves an attempted murder case and arrests an unforgivable criminal—isn't this your favorite kind of news?"

"But I don't think you're a sinner."

"!"

He laughed: "The definition of a sinner is someone who carries the burden of wrongdoing, but what wrongdoing have you committed?"

Attempting to kill? I don't think there's anything unforgivable about it.

"What did you say?"

"You didn't have short hair before, did you? I saw it in the family photo."

The boy strolled around the warehouse, occasionally looking through some items, and muttered to himself, "Is it glue? Or is it that you don't want to be caught by someone again?"

That woman from Xiamen, Kohakukawa, must have been very proud of her long hair, but stress and age caused her to start losing it, and even intensive hair care couldn't help—the time she started taking medication coincides with the time you had short hair in the photo.

"..."

"Tell me, how did she do it? Did she simply order you to get a haircut, or did she roughly grab it and drag you around like a doll?"

Oh, and there's that little mound in the backyard. Has any pet died in the last few days? You seem to really like your Pomeranian—"

A flash of cold light, and the utility knife slashed past from the side, which the young man skillfully dodged.

--boom!

The heavy blow to the abdomen instantly contorted the girl's expression. She retched and knelt on the ground, clutching her stomach tightly.

She raised her head, her face ashen, and glared at the seemingly unaffected boy, gritting her teeth in resentment.

This guy figured it out!

He knew he was just threatening him with the knife to interrupt him... but he still attacked without any mercy!

This force was applied without any hesitation!

"Don't look at me like that. This is the same as taming an animal."

He crouched down, his gaze slightly higher than the other person's, a nonchalant smile on his face.

"If we don't punish them immediately, we won't know who they're baring their teeth at."

"..."

"Nice eyes, I like you quite a bit, come to my house."

Just like finding a stray cat or dog on the street, he reached out his hand to the girl: "I will take good care of you."

"...Aren't you worried about being devoured by a wild beast if you willingly keep a murderer by your side?"

She murmured in a threatening tone.

The boy—Kusei Kami—smiled slightly: “You are not a criminal, at most you are just a murderer.”

Everyone has their uses; it all depends on how the owner uses them.

"I'm not a house dog!"

Ruri Kohaku's fierce and cold gaze was like an arrow trying to pierce the man's head.

"I will no longer be controlled by anyone!"

"Now you have no choice but to either give up your revenge or stay by my side, continue to accumulate strength, and wait for the next opportunity."

"...You seem very confident that you can subdue me?"

The girl met the boy's gaze without fear: "Forget about it! Even if I have to obey you, my heart will never yield!"

Kuze Yoru, you're just a lousy, arrogant jerk. I...

I hate people like you the most!

……

"Lord Ye, do you like me like this?"

With a warm, soft female body leaning against him, Ye Shou surprisingly didn't get excited; instead, he fell silent.

...You've really changed a lot, Ruri.

Three years ago, that girl didn't agree with anyone and lived in a cage woven from rejection and pain. Children are mirrors that reflect everything; she only received malice from the outside world, so she returned malice to the world.

When did things start to change? Ye Shou couldn't remember. Perhaps it was because she had always been by his side that he didn't easily notice these changes.

She still kept her hair short, not because of any psychological trauma, but because she didn't want to spend her precious time taking care of her long hair. Even though she knew Ye Shou's preferences, she only let it grow to above her shoulders.

It is soft and smooth, as pure as a raven's feather, and feels like the finest silk to the touch.

She maintained her love of exercise and strictly adhered to her schedule, always paying attention to conserving her physical strength in order to respond to any orders Ye Shou might issue at any time.

Her shoulders were still as slender as ever, and her back was still as straight as ever, but she had grown much taller and her posture was more elegant than before. From behind, she looked as beautiful as an ancient lady, leaving people with endless room for imagination.

She no longer deliberately lowers her head when she walks.

She will never bow her head again!

Unless, as we are now, we await judgment like lambs to the slaughter.

"……I see."

Not noticing Ye Shou's reaction for a long time, and even her heartbeat becoming so calm, a hint of disappointment flashed across Liuli's face. With a dejected look in her eyes, she stepped back and steadied herself again.

"Sorry for causing you any trouble."

The girl turned to leave, trying her best to control her emotions.

But as soon as she turned around, she was grabbed roughly. Strong arms reached out from behind her, wrapped around to the front and grabbed her tightly. Her maid outfit, which was without a single wrinkle, sank in and left clear fingerprints.

"what!"

She had barely let out a gasp when another hand was already in front of her waist, pressing against her soft lower abdomen. She instinctively tried to push it away, but couldn't budge it an inch.

"Who gave you permission to leave? Your mission isn't finished yet, is it?"

"Ouch, that hurts!"

The man seemed to have no sense of tenderness, his fingers squeezing so hard that the maid's outfit was completely out of shape. The girl couldn't help but try to back away, but she was pressed against his chest, which felt like an iron wall, leaving her nowhere to retreat.

"Lord Ye, Lord Ye Shou?!"

"I haven't even changed my clothes yet, are you going to neglect your duties? Huh?!"

The hand above loosened its grip slightly, allowing Liuli to breathe a sigh of relief, but immediately the other hand pulled up the hem of her skirt and the inner lining, reaching down from inside her clothes.

This movement caused her shapely thighs to tense up instantly, leaving no gaps to begin with, and now they were pulled inward with even greater force.

His body suddenly went limp, his knees couldn't support him at all, and he could only barely stand on his tiptoes by relying on his calves.

"Well!"

The sudden electric current made her bite her finger, causing her white silk glove to slip off and be bitten tightly by the girl. A trace of clear saliva slowly soaked the fabric amidst strange, suppressed sounds.

"what!"

As if liberated, Liuli let out a long sigh of relief. The glove fell to the ground, leaving a clear tooth mark on it.

"Lord Ye, Lord Ye?"

With a flushed face and a flustered expression, Liuli turned her head to look back, only to have her chin pinched by three fingers, rendering her unable to move like a fawn whose neck had been broken by a tiger.

"I'm very disappointed... You actually abandoned your duties. It seems I've spoiled you too much these past few days. It's time to punish you!"

"……Yes."

Liuli's lips moved slightly, but her toes curled up together where they couldn't be seen.

I can hear... my heartbeat is accelerating... both Lord Ye Shou's and I are racing!

I could feel that burning heat, slowly revealing its presence...

Is Lord Ye Shou very excited?

—Just thinking about this makes her feel like a part of her heart is being filled.

"If you don't mind... please enjoy your meal..."

This remark resulted in even greater pressure, and Liuli even felt a sense of weightlessness, as if she were about to be lifted into the air.

"Don't act like you're the one who's wronged—look!"

By forcibly locking her with his finger, Liuli had no choice but to look to the side. As her body was also swayed, her entire appearance was reflected in the dressing mirror in front of her.

Ah, what a disgusting sight that was!

The disheveled girl looked dazed, a faint smile playing on her lips. Her once neat and beautiful maid outfit had now become a prisoner's uniform, to be manipulated at will by the victors.

"Did you see that?"

"Um……"

Tell me, why are you laughing?

Ye Shou tightened his grip, causing the girl in his arms to whimper, "Why!"

"because!"

The girl was completely confused about the situation. Since she could no longer maintain her composure, she decided to speak according to her true feelings.

Because I'm happy!

Lord Ye Shou is watching me like this, and Lord Ye Shou is excited for me—which makes me very happy!

"Oh dear, this is truly... an indecent maid."

Ye Shou stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Liuli's eyes, making the girl even more ashamed.

"And now? How do you feel?"

"……wet……"

"What? I didn't hear clearly."

"initial……"

The girl grabbed the man's wrist, covering her face with her other hand: "You were wet from the very beginning!"

"Good boy."

Ye Shou's movements softened, and he whispered in her ear, "I want to reward your honesty."

I will no longer be controlled by anyone!

She clung tightly to the man's strong back, like a koala, wishing she could merge herself entirely into Ye Shou's body.

Forget about it; my spirit will never yield!

In the instant when all the muscles in my body lost control and my mind went blank, fleeting memories surfaced in the waves.

【Kusei Yoru, you're just a nasty, arrogant jerk. I... hate people like you the most!】
