Chapter 1438 Oni
When they had arrived at the villa, Haru and Raikou entered the same room.
Haru closed the door and asked, "Raikou, are you angry?"
"Hmph!"
Raikou sat on the edge of the bed and looked away. She was annoyed when she saw how Haru was very close to Fiore, after all, she felt that she was one of the women in his life.
Haru then sat next to Raikou and saw she didn't move away from him.
"I have told you before that I have a girlfriend, right?"
"....."
Raikou's body was shaken for a bit.
"In truth, I have a lot of girlfriends," Haru said. He had only told Raikou that his girlfriend was Shinobu, but he didn't tell her that he had a lot of girlfriends after all, so it was normal when he saw her expression was quite grim at this moment.
"You!!"
Raikou turned toward him and her eyes were red. "You...." She wanted to say something, but then she asked with a hint of anger in her voice. "Am I just a woman that you used for pleasure?"
"No."
"Then what am I?!"
It was surprising for Raikou who had "Mad Enhancement" EX rank to be able to hold for so long. Staring at his eyes, she wanted to hear what was in his mind and heart.
Raikou was after all a famous commander in history and even if she had tried to close her eyes to his relationship with Shinobu, but she didn't expect that he was going to make another relationship with Fiore, then what next? Jeanne? Atalante?
When Raikou thought about the future, she thought that it was better to kill Haru and kill herself so they could be together in the afterlife.
"Raikou, I love you. Believe in me that my feelings have never changed and that is also the reason why I am angry with you," Haru said.
"Angry?"
Raikou was then dumbfounded.
"Yes, I am angry with you." Haru stared at Raikou and said, "Do you remember what you did in your fight with Karna? If I didn't come back then, what do you think will happen?"
"...I.."
Raikou didn't dare to look at him at this time. She knew back then what the result would be if Haru didn't come to stop them.
"I didn't stop you from a duel since I know that it is impossible, but you have promised to win, do you want to break your promise?" Haru asked.
"No! I will win this duel!" Raikou quickly said without hesitation. She lost because of the "Oni" within her body and when she thought about it, she felt depressed somehow.
"What's wrong?" Haru suddenly asked.
Raikou wanted to say something, but she was quite hesitant, wondering whether he would hate her, but then, she was pulled on his embrace, leaning on his chest so naturally by him.
"Tell me." Haru looked at Raikou and said, "You have something that you want to ask, right?"
"Dear, what do you think of Oni?" Raikou asked.
"Oni?" Haru thought for a while and wasn't sure what to say.
Looking at Haru's reaction, Raikou became nervous and asked,"...Do you hate Oni?"
Haru smiled and said, "If the "Oni" is as cute as you then I love it."
Raikou blushed and hit Haru's chest. She complained and said, "I hate it! Answer me seriously!"
"Like I said before, what's wrong with "Oni"? I don't hate them and the era has changed," Haru said.
"The era has changed?" Raikou looked at Haru curiously.
Haru then told Raikou that in the future, Oni would probably be very popular and there might be some work with Oni that was being beautiful, making them into very cute girls, and being loved by a lot of people.
"....."
Raikou was dumbfounded by Haru's answer.
However, Haru didn't blame Raikou since, unlike the previous generation, his generation could accept something better, even if it was the most vicious monster in the past generation that would turn into a very cute girl or woman in the hands or artist.
"....."
Raikou suddenly had a headache, thinking that the people of this generation had a very wild imagination. The fierce and evil creatures of the past had suddenly turned into a cute girl that was printed on a poster, even an inflatable doll.
"You're worried about the "Oni" on your body?" Haru asked.
"...Yes."
"Like what I have said before, my love has never changed even if there is "Oni" within you, and you might have not realized it, but when we were fighting on the bed, your eyes sometimes turned red and entered your "Oni" state," Haru said.
"What?! Is that true?!"
Raikou was startled, but then Haru's words might be true since she also often forgot what had happened when both of them did the adult act together, but then...
Raikou looked at Haru and sighed since this guy was too peerless, right?
"I can accept the "Oni" within you, but can you accept my relationship with other girls?" Haru asked.
"....."
Raikou was silent again.
Haru hugged Raikou's body gently and said, "I know that it is unfair for you. But I am a very greedy man, and I am scum, however, if you can accept it then I will make you happy, Raikou." He was wondering why so many times he had reminded girls, telling them that he was greedy and scum, but he needed to do that.
Raikou didn't say anything, and Haru didn't say anything.
Both of them were in silence until Raikou let out a long sigh.
"I... I might have a feeling that you're such a bad guy."
"It's too late for me to pretend to be a good boy."
It was impossible for Haru to become a good boy after all.
"That's why..."
Raikou then turned her body then stared at him and said, "Mom is going to be with you, and make sure that you'll be a good boy."
"This..."
Haru was surprised then smiled. He moved forward and kissed Raikou's lips.
Raikou also accepted Haru's kiss and it was something that she really needed at that moment. She was full of tears and when their lips parted, she asked, "I am a bloodthirsty Ox Demon, is a woman like me truly allowed to remain by your side?"
"Yes, stay by my side. Forever. Raikou."
"I love you, dear."
Raikou couldn't handle her emotion any longer and hugged the man that had made her hate and love at the same time.
When Haru fell asleep, he had another dream, and this dream was full of terror. The dream was about an Oni whose name was Ushi-Gozen.
The people at that time were scared of this Ushi-Gozen since this Ushi-Gozen had killed a lot of people and terrorized them.
However, in truth, this Ushi-Gozen was Raikou, it was part of her, that was sealed, however, no one knew about this matter since in the record at that time, the one who defeated Ushi-Gozen was Raikou herself and everything was a play that was made by Raikou's father because he realized Raikou's talent.
So after that, Raikou became the strongest Mystery Slayer of the Heian period while the Ushi-Gozen was still sealed within her.
Haru understood why Raikou hated her "Oni" part since it brought her nothing but misfortune. He then opened his eyes and could feel that the side of his bed was empty. He didn't do anything perverted last night, but well, he also understood that it wasn't something that he should do at this moment, probably.
Though, the real reason was Raikou seemed to fall asleep last night which made him a bit helpless. Well, it might be because she felt relief?
"You have woken up, dear?"
Hearing such a gentle voice, Haru looked up and felt that everything was dark since his view was covered by two homogeneous mountains again.
"Yes, thank you for the pillow lap."
"No problem, dear. You can lay on my lap anytime," Raikou said with a smile.
"Raikou."
"Hmm?"
"I know that I have asked this question several times, but can you win?" Haru asked.
"Yes, I can win."
Raikou's voice was gentle and firm at the same time.
Haru nodded and smiled. "Then I will believe in you."
"Please believe in me," Raikou said without hesitation.
Haru was about to get up, but then he was pushed back by Raikou.
"Wait, dear!"
"What's wrong?"
"You have such a huge tent on your pants. You can go out like this, you need to calm it down," Raikou said with a serious tone.
"....."
Haru then noticed a soft hand wrapped around his anaconda and nodded.
"Hmm, this is very dangerous. Thank you for the reminder, Raikou."
"No problem."
They might not have been able to do it last night, but they decided to do it in the morning this time.
