The Academy’s Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter - Chapter 368



368 – Side Story – Reunion (6)

“Kaya, such words…! Huh?”

I thought the mood was getting serious and that I would have to intervene.

But contrary to expectations, Luce remained silent and closed her eyes. It seemed she had no intention of attacking Kaya.

Fortunately, Luce then began to quietly take deep breaths, regaining her composure. Perhaps it was thanks to the tempering she learned while attending Merhen Academy.

“Sigh.”

Finally, Luce let out a deep sigh, turned her back, and walked away.

“Luce?”

“I’ll go ahead. I never planned to attend the reunion anyway.”

“Huh? Oh…”

Boom!

A burst of purple lightning.

Luce summoned the giant black thunderbird, Thunderbird-Galia, and climbed atop it.

The Thunderbird, wrapped in purple lightning, looked down at me. Its eyes flashed fiercely.

[Isaac…! Please mate diligently!]

Crack!

[Argh!]

Luce punched the Thunderbird’s head hard.

“Let’s go.”

[Luce, aren’t you all in the same position? In the end, the more Isaac mates, the more grandchildren I have…!]

“Let’s go,” I said.

[Hem hem…, indeed.]

Finally, the Brain Deity ceased speaking, sensing its master’s foul mood.

One after another, the killer whale familiar, Velo, was summoned of its own accord.

[Breaking news! My master is upset…, ‘Shocking’! Following the news of Isaac’s infidelity, even yielding the grand affair to Kaya! My master, truly humiliated! Psychological pain! Terror!]

“……”

Smack!

[Aargh! Velo, shocked! Against violence! Against violence!]

Velo circled above Luce’s head, vehemently protesting.

Thanks to the familiars, Luce never had a quiet day.

Soon, Luce rode the Brain Deity, scattering purple lightning across the sky, flying at tremendous speed.

Whoosh!

The wind howled, shaking the Josena Forest.

‘Luce has learned to back down, after all…’

I had felt such signs during my time at the academy…

But feeling it anew, it was indeed a significant development.

“Hmm… Am I an unwelcome guest too?”

“No, it’s not quite right to put it that way.”

At my response, Dorothy smiled generously and shook her head.

“No, you’re right, an unwelcome guest indeed. Someone who has nothing to do with today’s reunion. Kaya’s words were all correct.”

“If you say so, I’ll feel sorry… I may not know Luce Eltania, but I don’t particularly dislike Dorothy senior.”

So Luce dislikes me after all…

“Is that an honor?”

Dorothy approached Kaya and me, knelt down slightly, and looked closely at Kaya. Being taller, this brought their eyes to level.

Under the witch’s hat, a smiling face.

Dorothy’s eyes, shining with star patterns, captured Kaya.

Kaya swallowed dryly, gazing into those mysterious eyes. It seemed like an instinctive reaction.

Whatever the case, one of the strongest beings in this world was looking intently at her.

“I’m sorry for not keeping the promise of premarital purity.”

“What?”

“You see, this sister just couldn’t hold back in the end. So of course! I understand how Kaya feels, right? So neither of you should feel pressured. Kaya, there’s no need to be so upset. After all, aren’t we all going to be Isaac’s wives without exception?”

“Such words are quite disheartening…”

“Nyeh heh.”

Dorothy stroked Kaya’s hair with a relaxed expression.

“Sorry for being selfish?”

“Dorothy senior…”

“Yes?”

“Don’t try to establish hierarchy by stealthily stroking my head.”

“Oh dear, have I been caught out?”

Dorothy stepped back with a bashful smile.

“President, I’ll take my leave now. I’ve been shameless.”

“No, it’s okay.”

I never tire of seeing my girls.

But today is the reunion.

I wanted to spend time with those who rightfully should attend the reunion together.

“And.”

Dorothy covered her mouth with her hand and whispered quietly into my ear.

With a slightly troubled face.

“Don’t be too rash, okay…? Even your sister gets a bit jealous.”

“Huh?”

“That, don’t be too, you know… Don’t do it like that…!”

Dorothy whispered, eyes tightly shut, braving the embarrassment.

Or should I say, she cried out in a small voice.

I couldn’t quite grasp the specifics, but I seemed to understand the meaning.

A smile naturally formed on my lips.

I gently brushed aside the hair next to Dorothy’s head.

“I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for understanding.”

“Ahem, yeah….”

Dorothy cleared her throat and stepped back, wrapping herself in a constellation of stars.

Ting-a-ling!

Then, with a mischievous smile, she saluted with her fingers.

“Well then, it’s time for the uninvited guest to leave!”

“Aren’t you going to listen to the groans? I wanted to let you hear them.”

“If you wish to incur my wrath, by all means.”

Dorothy waved at me, then soared up and streaked across the sky with incredible speed. It was a mystical sight, as if a meteor shower was etched into my vision.

And so, Luce and Dorothy both returned to Dufendorf.

For a moment, only the chirping of crickets and silence remained in the Josena Forest.

“They’re finally gone… Shall we go in, Sir Isaac?”

Kaya’s voice broke the silence.

She rushed into my arms and looked up at me with an affectionate smile.

“You’re quite bold now that the kids are gone…”

“To us, this is no different from a war. A war to receive even a bit more of your love, Sir Isaac… and to love you. It’s an unavoidable problem, even if you love us all equally, isn’t it?”

“If you put it that way, I’m at a loss for words… But, is it really okay to do this in such an old place? There are much better places, you know.”

“I like it here. Everyone has memories here.”

Kaya gazed into my eyes.

“Still, it’s a pity. It’s not exactly a natural situation. Not very romantic, is it?”

“Indeed.”

“But I think it can’t be helped. To monopolize such moments among those great people… I have no choice but to struggle, even if it’s graceless, forced, and unnatural.”

Kaya forced a smile.

A subtle loneliness was woven into her voice.

“The luxury of monopolizing you naturally is something I can’t expect for myself.”

Kaya is a top-tier magician by global standards.

Yet, it seemed she harbored a complex about not standing out among my women.

Despite being a person of character, her saying this meant her self-esteem must be low.

I wonder if I’m also to blame for not paying enough attention.

“Kaya.”

“Yes?”

“I’ve just thought of a place I’d like to go right now.”

With a refreshing smile, Kaya tilted her head in curiosity.

This place, the hideout, has been graced by all my ladies.

So today, I wanted to visit a place filled with memories just for Kaya and me.

……

“Pfft! Here, it’s right there, isn’t it?”

Beneath the towering cliff, basking in self-admiration, the valley water mirrored the moonlight trickling down.

Back in the first semester of the first year at Merhen Academy.

It was the place where Kaya and I had spent the night alone.

“Look.”

“Yes?”

I had brought the magic pouch stored in the hideout. Showing it to Kaya, I pulled out all sorts of camping gear from within.

It was the camping set I had prepared in the hideout, to be used when the enemy was demonic, a time when I fought fiercely.

With a light flick of telekinesis, I set up the campsite in an instant.

Afterward, baring my teeth and stretching out my arms, I grinned broadly.

“Ta-da, setup complete.”

“Pfft! What is this, really? So cute.”

Even as a demonic being, the original personality and memories remain the same. That’s why even Kaya, as a demon, could understand the significance of the scene before her.

Gradually, a wistful look appeared on Kaya’s smiling face.

“The facilities are better than before?”

“I’m always improving. Even setting up a campsite is no exception.”

Kaya chuckled at my proud response.

We lit a bonfire and sat side by side on folding chairs. I draped an extra blanket, always kept in the magic pouch, over Kaya’s shoulders and handed her a warm cocoa.

Kaya smiled awkwardly.

“Isaac, this isn’t quite the situation I was hoping for until just now… Should I say it’s too heartwarming, or too wholesome…?”

“Don’t like it?”

“No~? I love it. It feels like my heart is being filled.”

“Then just follow me quietly. It’s time I can have you all to myself.”

“What?”

Caught off guard by my response, Kaya asked back with a hint of question.

“This is a place only the two of us know. None of the others do. So if I’m with you, this place is indeed the best.”

“…….”

“Kaya is still pretty. She seems a bit more mature too. She’s lovely.”

Kaya took a deep breath and smiled awkwardly, turning her head towards the cup in her hands.

The crackling of the bonfire.

The sound of the stream flowing.

The cool night breeze and the warmth of the lantern.

It was the same atmosphere that Kaya and I were fond of.

“Ah, really…”

I didn’t deliberately read Kaya’s mind.

Although I often read people’s minds due to my habits, I didn’t feel like doing so this time.

But when I looked at Kaya’s face, I didn’t seem to worry too much. She was just smiling carelessly, without any concerns.

We chatted about various topics for a while. Kaya had trained at the Astréaean Duke’s mansion, so there was a lot to talk about.

The soft murmurs of conversation and laughter followed by the gentle swaying of the lantern.

Then, as we talked about the incident in Dourfold, excluding Dorothy and Lucas.

I locked my eyes onto Kaya’s face, which was gazing at me with a deep gaze, and stopped talking.

“Mr. Isaac, may I ask you something?”

Kaya smiled with a playful air.

“Would you like to cover me?”

A awkward laugh burst out.

“Isn’t that a bit too direct? Do people usually say that?”

“I don’t know? I don’t think it’s necessary to know…”

Kaya stood up from her chair and walked towards the tent, and I approached her, giving her a kiss. The lips met with a sticky sound.

Our bodies entered the tent. I grabbed the back of Kaya’s neck and gently pushed her onto the bed. When Kaya’s back hit the tent floor, I continued kissing her.

It seemed like Kaya was refusing to let me go, as she wrapped her arm around the back of my neck.

Ssss.

The surrounding trees, lit up like lanterns, appeared. It was like a lamp.

I carefully opened my eyes. I seemed to have calculated the angle of light, as Kaya’s skin received the soft, silvery glow, making her even more radiant and beautiful in my gaze.

I guess I had prepared for this situation, too.

It was really cute.

Chewp…

“Eh?”

What’s that?

“The kiss suddenly became timid…?”

As if Kaya had suddenly lost her confidence.

I could feel a strong tremor from her body pressed against mine.

It was a dramatic change.

“Could it be.”

I carefully pulled away from her lips.

Then, a woman with trembling green eyes came into my view.

“Hu, aah…”

Her cheeks flushed red.

Her light blue hair, disheveled and adorably tousled.

Her eyes spinning round and round.

Kaya… had returned to her original self.

“Kaya?”

“Ah, Isaac sir… That, that is, um…! Huuah…”

From noble mtl dot come

Kaya’s face turned as red as a ripe apple, as if it would burst at any moment. Her voice was so twisted that she couldn’t speak properly.

A personality baton touch at this timing.

The personality of Aksik was truly cruel.

“Are you okay?”

“I am, okay… No, honestly, I’m not okay… My heart feels like it’s going to burst… Hoo, ha…”

Kaya exhaled roughly, letting out a raspy breath.

“Yeah.”

I smiled reassuringly and stroked her hair to calm her down.

I had to soothe her, but that didn’t mean I was going to completely indulge Kaya’s wishes.

“Shall we take it slow?”

“What…? Slowly…?”

“Sorry, but quitting isn’t an option.”

“Y-yes…?”

“You don’t know how lovable you are right now.”

Her eyes narrowed slightly as she played with her tongue, and Kaya’s face gradually regained its composure.

Of course, her flushed cheeks and embarrassed expression remained unchanged, like a girl who had just fallen in love.

Fortunately, my current situation was very well-received by her, it seemed.

“Mr. Isaac…?”

“Are you okay? Can we keep going?”

“……”

I prompted Kaya to look to the side, and she murmured with her lips trembling.

“Wait, please.”

She whispered softly, her voice trembling with courage.

It was the answer I had been waiting for.

“Ugh!”

I forced myself to kiss her again, rougher than before.

“…… Mr. Isaac, stop, just for a moment…! Ah…!”

Kaya tried to push me away with her tremulous arms, but I grabbed her wrist and pinned her to the ground.

Soon, Kaya’s strength gave out, and she slowly let me take her in.

“aaa… Ah… Ah… Ah…”

Kaya’s lips were like those of a wicked person, and she tried to kiss me with more ferocity and passion. Her face, flushed with excitement, looked adorable, and I couldn’t help but continue kissing her.

I slowly undressed Kaya.

That night, we spent the night filled with passion, until dawn broke.
