Tale of Discovery

Chapter 217: Eavesdrop ; Signs of Trouble ; Hot Kitty *NSFW*

"Good work," I say while patting Ayumi's head, earning me a gleeful hum from the bright lass.

"That's all, right?" I ask after taking a glance at her notebook.

"Yes," she responds, "that is everything that Lily said was studied at school today."

I nod my head as a confirmation while continuing to pat her head and appreciating the fact that Ayu has a best friend now.

It makes me wonder if something like a girls-only night over will occur sometime in the future. At that time, I should make sure to not embarrass her.

Well, there is the chance that Ayumi will get invited to her friends' house instead, but I wouldn't let that happen.

Naturally, I'm aware that I'm being overprotective, but after what happened to Ayumi back in Project Charlotte, I can't let my guard down at any time.

"Brother Yu?" Ayumi's voice reaches my ears, bringing a halt to my thoughts.

"It's nothing," I say before leaning over and kissing her cheek, "You should go to sleep soon. It's getting late."

"Roger!" she energetically responds.

"Go on," I say while pointing at the bed that Sora, Gula, and Ophis are lying on, "I will be there in a short while."

Having said that, I get up from my seat, leave the room, and head toward the kitchen. Upon arriving, I am met with the sight of Saturnus inspecting a few cleaning utilities.

"What are you doing?" I curiously ask.

"Ah, Creator," she says in a distraught tone before setting the mop in her hand down and walking over to me.

"So?" I question once she has gotten close enough, "What are you up to?"

"Well, as Creator's maid, I thought that it would be good if I researched about house chores."

"Maid?" I mutter while peering into her eyes, "That's no longer necessary now that we have left Sorcerers' Lair."

"But, I would still like to function as the Creator's maidservant," she immediately proclaims a little too enthusiastically.

"Of course," I say while reaching my arm out to stroke her realistic 'skin', "If that's what you want, I have no reason to object."

An expression of pure excitement appears on her face as she nods her head once and says, "I will do my best."

Issuing a light chuckle, I shake my head a little before making my way over to the fridge and opening it.

I am met directly met with the sight of various groceries ranging from vegetables to quick snacks.

Grabbing a bottle of apple juice, I close the fridge door and make my way over to the living room while using Clairvoyance to check for Koneko's location.

Unfortunately, Koneko seems to be already asleep in Kuroka's room, despite her elder sister not being there.

After looking a little more, I find Kuroka in the living room, conversing with Ravel, whom I had not seen for the whole day.

What are they discussing at this time? It's almost midnight.

Shortly, I find myself in the living room, just in time to hear Ravel say, "Zeoticus Gremory shows no signs of his siding in this confrontation."

"But, wouldn't it be bad for the demon clans to show hostility at a time like this?" Kuroka questions in a disbelieving tone.

"You're right," Ravel responds, "but they were somehow convinced that His Holiness is currently weak enough that if the remaining clans worked together, it would be possible to bring him down."

So, she calls me that too now, huh?

Leaving that aside, I begin to deliberate on why the devils would be so dead set on killing me.

I've shown the extent of my prowess multiple times already, so I can't believe that they were convinced of something so ridiculous.

Besides, what are they planning to do with the angels serving me? It's not like they will face me alone, as I have an army of angels at command.

"Are you sure about this?" Kuroka's voice reaches my ears, interrupting my thoughts.

"That's what was written in the letter sent to my father," Ravel responds.

Oh? I feel like things are starting to make a little more sense now. From what I heard, Ravel had visited the underworld. There she found a letter containing all the nonsense about me being weakened.

Well, it's true that I'm in a weakened state, but the current me should be easily capable of wiping the ground with a few errant devils.

Anyway, from an objective perspective, it's highly likely that someone is trying to lure the devils to demise.

After all, I'm certain that Ajuka, Serafall, Sirzechs, and Ravel's Father are aware of the power I possess.

Nevertheless, this matter has grabbed my attention.

"You're aware that the letter could be a trap, right?" Kuroka's voice reaches my ears once again.

"Of course," Ravel confidently responds, "however, I overheard my father discuss the matter with a few other high-devils, and they didn't seem to think this way."

"You're worried about His Holiness misunderstanding this," Kuroka suddenly states.

"That's right," Ravel affirms in a slightly distressed tone.

After a short while of mentioning a few other things, Ravel finally gets up from the sofa she was sitting on and makes her way to the room I assigned to her.

As for Kuroka, she lets out a deep sigh while sitting in a rather unladylike manner, giving me a fantastic view of her breasts.

Letting out a sigh of my own, I walk inside, startling her quite a bit.

However, Kuroka doesn't fix her posture but continues to exhibit her 'arsenal' with a smirk visible on her lips.

"What brings you here, nya~?"

Shaking my head as a response to her suggestive actions, I say, "Well, I was looking for Koneko to cuddle a little, but as unfortunate as it may be, she was deep asleep."

Healing my words, Kuroka giggles a little charmingly before leaning forward and saying, "How about cuddling with me, instead, nya~?"

My eyes subconsciously shift to the two mounds and two pink cherries which are slightly visible now.

A grin forms on my lips as I say in a roguish tone, "You're playing with perilous flames here, kitty."

Seeming to not mind it, the grin on her lips grows as she says, "I'm aware of that."

Deciding that it would be rude to decline such an invitation, I proceed to walk over to the sofa she's sitting on and take a seat beside her.

Without further ado, I wrap my left arm around her back and pull her close to myself, earning me a slightly sensual yelp from Kuroka.

"How forceful, nya~," she says while rubbing her head against my shoulder.

A sweet scent reaches my nose as I sense something soft tickle my cheek.

Upon taking a closer look, I realize that the tip of her ear is the source of the tickling.

Well, let me see what this playful kitty has in store for me.

The next moment, I shift my right arm so that I'm directly holding her bountiful breasts while playing with her ears using my left hand.

Kuroka seems to enjoy this a little more than I expected her to as she begins letting out sensual 'nya~' now and then.

"Is this fun?" I ask while sliding my hand underneath her kimono and caressing her breast directly.

"This is more than just 'cuddling', nya~" she responds before purring as I begin to gently rub her head.

Soon enough, Kuroka's breathing becomes a little haggard as her body temperature rises.

"Even though it's not my mating season yet, nya~," she says in a troubled voice as I continue to play around with her breasts.

"Hey, Kuroka," I whisper, resulting in her turning her head to face me.

Before she can react, I press my lips against hers and push her down on the sofa.

In this position, Kuroka lightly presses her knee against my crotch as she begins moving it.

I take this chance to check our surroundings before pulling her kimono down, completely revealing her splendid breasts.

Then, I play both of my hands on the two mounds and gently squeeze them.

Suddenly, I feel something cling to my leg, causing me to break the kiss and inspect it, only to find Kuroka's tail twirling around my leg.

Issuing a light chuckle, I shift my focus back to Kuroka, whose face is now completely flushed, and teasingly say, "What a naughty kitty."

Then, before she can respond to my words, I press her breasts together and lower my head to take both of her cherries into my mouth.

As I begin to play around with them using my tongue, Kuroka begins to moan quite seductively while wrapping both of her arms around my nape.

After a few seconds, I let go of her breasts and slightly move my body forth before locking my lips with hers once again.

This time, the kiss is a much more pleasurable one as she does her best to reciprocate my attacks in her mouth.

Only after about ten minutes or so, I break the kiss and lift my body before saying, "We won't be going all the way this time."

A frown forms on Kuroka's brows, but it disappears the next the moment as she teasingly says, "So the flames weren't that dangerous after all, nya~"

Finding her attempt to taunt me adorable, I rub her ears a little before kissing her lips for a few seconds.

Then, I straightaway get off her and say, "As much as I would like to fill you up, I can't today?"

Kuroka doesn't respond to my words, resulting in a small smile to form on lips as I say, "Next time is going to be different, though."

Then, I check my body from head to toe before beginning to walk back to my room while thinking of what just transpired.

There are two reasons for me not going all the way.

The first one is because I don't want to get into a fourth-base relationship with her just like that. I would prefer her sorting her thoughts and emotions out before we do the deed.

The second reason is that Ayumi is still waiting for me, so I can't just go ahead and leave her hanging.

Nevertheless, I was serious when I said that things would go differently the next time.

After all, naughty kitties need to be disciplined...
