If you had asked Shido what he wanted to be in the future, while he would say that he considered a variety of options, he definitely didn't have housekeeper for one of them.
"Boy, what happened to my maid outfit?"
"I just put it in the laundry with the rest of your clothes. It'll be done in an hour or so."
"Got it. Did Boy make lunch yet?"
"Not yet. I'm about to get started."
"Huh? It's already 3 pm! I thought Boy would've made it by this time! I'm hungry! I'm hungry!"
"If you're that hungry, you should've made it yourself! I was too busy cleaning your room!"
Shido shouted in annoyance to the grey-haired girl who was on the couch, flailing her arms in a tantrum. He quickly wrapped the last garbage bag before going to the kitchen to cook up something. Shido wondered how people would react if he told other people that this spoiled girl was the famous mangaka, Honjo Nia, a Spirit who he had sealed recently.
Shido added the finishing touches to the oyakodon he quickly brushed up, adding a sprinkle of green onions before passing it to Nia. He watched with a helpless smile as Nia began to devour the food like there was no tomorrow.
Shido had come to Nia's residence upon receiving a phone call from said person. She had said that she wanted to talk to him about something important but once he arrived, he ended up just doing household chores for her. He wasn't too surprised since that's usually what he did when he came over. That being said, doing these kinds of chores was a good change of pace and helped take his mind off certain things.
Things like Kurumi.
Shido found that when it really came down to it, there were a lot of things he didn't know about Kurumi. Kurumi was a girl of many secrets and it only made him want to know more about her. What was her goal? Why did she need so much Reiryoku? Why did she look so in pain when rejecting him? What was she doing right now? Was she gathering Reiryoku still? Was she secretly infiltrating DEM?
Or was she just walking down the streets as a normal girl? If that was the case, what were her hobbies? What was her favorite food? Her favorite music or instrument? Her favorite color? Her favorite animal? (He had a suspicion it was cats.) Now that he thought about it, did he even know her birthday?
…I really am hopeless when it comes to matters about Kurumi. Shido wanted to know everything about Kurumi. Shido found himself lost in thought for a bit when he began to hypothesize different answers like Kurumi elegantly playing the piano or her fondling a cat cutely. If he thought too long though, he would find himself with not-so-appropriate thoughts about Kurumi so he tried to be careful. He wouldn't deny that he entertained some fantasies from time to time; it wasn't as if he suddenly turned into a saint with no sexual desires after Kurumi graciously freed him from his high libido mental state.
"Ah~, that really hit the spot." Nia finally finished the oyakodon that Shido made for her with a satisfied sound. Wiping her mouth, she then turned her attention to Shido who was preparing to leave after finishing all the chores.
"Boy, can I talk with you for a second? I've always been wanting to talk about this but felt this was a sensitive topic for Boy."
"What is it?" Shido asked, while putting on his shoes. "If it's about becoming your personal assistant, I'll have to decline."
"Wh-what?! Of course not!" Nia immediately refuted, waving her hand vigorously. "I mean, that would be great, of course. After all, Boy's cooking is really delicious and Boy could also help with my manga dra-"
"I'm leaving."
"Wait! Wait! I actually have an important topic to discuss!" With tears in her eyes, Nia stubbornly hung onto Shido's legs to his dismay.
After Nia finally coaxed him into staying for a while, Nia finally took a deep breath and warily began, "…Boy, you know how you said that I could look into you with Rasielmon and you wouldn't hate me? So, you won't get angry at me, right?"
Shido, not knowing where this came out of but seeing that Nia had somewhat of a guilty and cautious look, smiled at her softly and said, "Of course, Nia. I won't shun you away just because of a little investigation."
"Haha, of course not! Boy wouldn't break his promise, right?" Nia's expression brightened but Shido noticed that her laugh still had a hint of nervousness. Shido suddenly had a bad premonition as Nia took a deep breath and then with a serious gaze, asked,
"Boy, what exactly is your relationship with Kurumin?"
"…so, you called me over to talk about this, huh?" After a short pause, Shido sighed. He guessed he should've expected this the moment he knew Nia possessed Rasiel, an omniscient Angel that was capable of obtaining any and all information. It would be a simple matter for Nia to find out about him and Kurumi if she looked deeply enough.
"Well, I know the details but I want Boy's input and perspective as well. After all, Rasielmon doesn't tell me the inner thoughts of the person and only tells me the facts. So, it's very confusing how you can get so intimate with a person who's trying to kill you."
"That's…"
"Ah, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I understand if Boy doesn't want to talk, considering he never told anybody about this but…" Nia closed her hands in front of her, leaning forward a bit. "…if Boy wants somebody to talk to, I can listen. After all, it isn't healthy to keep this kind of thing inside of you forever."
"…" Shido stayed silent but Nia didn't press him. She waited patiently for him. Of course, she knew she could come off as pressuring him but she hoped that Shido would understand her heart. Shido had helped her overcome her trauma of trusting people and hoped that she could also help him in return.
"…you won't tell anybody else, right?" Shido asked hesitantly.
"Don't worry. Whatever's said in this room stays here." Nia quickly reassured him.
"…then I'll be taking some of Nia's time then." Shido was still hesitant but decided that this may be the only time he would get an opportunity like this.
Seeing Shido's compliance, Nia immediately adorned her Astral Dress, giving her an appearance of a nun. Extending her hand out to him, she gave out a holy aura, entrancing Shido for a moment as she gently smiled at him. "Boy, it must've hurt. To hold everything in until now. Don't worry. I will listen to your doubts, your guilt, your sorrows. No matter what you say, I won't think bad of you. After all, I know Boy is a good person in heart."
"Nia…" Shido was truly touched. "Thank yo-"
"Yaaa~, I always wanted to say that! Didn't I look like a classic and authentic priestess at that moment, Boy? Hehe, did Boy perhaps fall in love with me?
"Wha…"
"Well, enough of that! Tell me all about your steamy nights with Kurumin! The mind says no but the body says yes! Was it like that?"
"…if I'm being honest, my mind also said yes."
"Ooohhh, don't leave out the juicy details! After all, Kurumin is quite the beauty if I say so myself! Tell me all about your forbidden love!"
"…" This was a mistake.
That holy nun had disappeared and was replaced with a girl who wanted to get in on some gossip. Shido wondered if this was really going to be the first person he was about to come out in the open with.
In Raizen High, Kurumi was shockingly back in Shido's classroom, sitting in her seat. Shido didn't expect to see her in his school again but that smooth silky hair, that white porcelain skin, that hidden clock eye, the way Shido's heart immediately fluttered upon seeing all of that proved that it was indeed Tokisaki Kurumi.
"Ara ara, if it isn't Shido-san."
Upon seeing Shido, Kurumi gracefully got up and made her way towards Shido. Shido was too stunned to respond as Kurumi gradually got closer to him. Just when Kurumi reached her hand towards him…
"Get back! You're trying to eat Shido again, aren't you?!"
"Why are you here? I doubt you have any good intention, coming at this time."
Tohka and Origami immediately blocked Kurumi's path, not allowing her to come near Shido. Both of them were staring at her with hostility but it only garnered Kurumi's amusement.
"Ara, I just wanted to abide as Shido's classmate. If I really wanted to, I could've taken all the students as hostages right now and held them at gunpoint. It would be a simple matter to force Shido-san to give me his Reiryoku. I wonder how you would deal with that, kihihihi."
Of course, those words didn't help soothe the tension as Origami and Tohka immediately shifted their feet, ready to attack Kurumi at any moment. Kurumi shrugged her shoulders upon seeing their cold reactions before looking at Shido heartily.
"Shido-san, you seem to be doing well."
"Ah." Shido quickly snapped out of his daze. He instantly replied, "Of course I am. After all, I got to see you."
"Ufufu, Shido-san's way with words is making me blush." Kurumi slightly rested her hand on the side of her face with a bashful expression. She then gave a furtive glance towards Tohka and Origami. "Although your friends don't seem to feel the same way."
Tohka and Origami snarled as if Kurumi's statement wasn't enough.
Shido awkwardly smiled. "Haha, I can't blame them. After all, the last time you came here…" Shido didn't finish his sentence but the implication was delivered to Kurumi.
"Eh~, is that so? Then, Shido-san also doesn't trust me?" Kurumi asked. Her lips bewitchingly curled and her eyes shifted in a sly manner.
"Huh, I didn't say tha-!" Shido had a bad feeling when seeing the naughty look in Kurumi's eyes and tried to correct her but it was too late as Kurumi raised her voice for the entire class to hear,
"I merely wanted to go to school with Shido-san! After everything you did to me at night, ravaging me to your heart's desire and using me to release your lust, is this too much to ask for? Even after offering my naked body for your sake, am I not permitted to have this small desire?!"
"Kurumi?!"
Shido immediately became flustered at Kurumi's speech as the whole class began to whisper and rumors began springing up. He did his best to ignore the pressure from the surrounding people. Granted, his reputation was already not good but this time, he couldn't even deny the accusation as what Kurumi stated was all true. The stares from his classmates, which he could usually ignore, were exponentially more excruciating.
"All right, all right, we'll gladly welcome you as a classmate. Just don't spread false rumors like that!" Shido exclaimed with a bright red face. Kurumi always seemed to know how to put him on the edge of his feet.
"Of course, I've only come to find pleasure in school life with Shido-san after all," Kurumi replied with a cute smile. However, Shido widened his eyes upon seeing her open her arms out, looking expectantly at him.
Is she asking for a hug?
They were in a public place with many people's eyes on them. Shido wasn't too eager to embarrass himself in front of a crowd. As inviting and tempting as it was, Shido was hesitant.
Then, something caught his eye. Kurumi's lips pursed lightly and strands of hair parted briefly to reveal her clock eye underneath. It was a sight that could stir any man's heart but that wasn't what caught his concern.
Shido glanced into both of her eyes. While they had their usual seductiveness and charm, he saw a hint of weariness and fatigue. It was only for a moment but Shido found himself looking at a frail girl who looked as if she was going to collapse at any second.
Before he knew it, he had already stridden past Tohka and Origami and to everybody's surprise embraced Kurumi.
"Wha-! So, what Tokisaki-kun said was true?!"
"I knew it! Itsuka-kun really did lay his hands on her!"
"Argh! I'm so jealous of him!"
A clamor rose from his classmates but Shido couldn't care less as he hugged Kurumi as tightly as he could. He never saw Kurumi with that kind of face; if he couldn't even give a single hug, how was he supposed to save Kurumi?
"Shido-san…" Shido felt Kurumi sink her face into him as her arms wrapped around him in return. She pressed into him, meshing their bodies as if two parts were becoming one as she held him tighter. Shido could feel everything, whether it was her hands on his back, her leg wrapped slightly around his leg, her breasts at his chest, her lips at the base of his neck.
Maybe staying like this is fine?
Shido had only planned to hug Kurumi for a few seconds to not attract too much attention but with how amazing her warm, soft body felt, Shido didn't want to end it, and based on how tight Kurumi was hugging him, she didn't plan to either.
After twelve long seconds, Shido finally heard Kurumi whisper softly in his ear, "Shido-san, please meet me at the rooftop alone after school." Kurumi finally let go of him.
Shido looked at Kurumi's face, which showed its typical smile. The frailness that he thought he saw was nowhere to be seen. Was it just his imagination?
"Shido! Give me a hug too, umu! It's no fair only Kurumi got one!" Tohka exclaimed as she also opened her arms out towards Shido.
"Ah, I guess that's true." Shido gave a helpless smile as he also hugged Tohka. As usual, the stares from his classmates just became more and more hostile but at this point, he was far past caring about them.
On the other hand, Origami silently approached Kurumi.
"Tokisaki Kurumi, I'm sure you wouldn't come here just to play school. Whatever you're planning, if you forcefully lay your hands on Shido…"
"Ah, Origami-san, sorry, Nee-san didn't hear you. Can you repeat that?"
"…" Origami shut her mouth immediately, which earned Kurumi's smirk.
Shido was on the rooftop with Kurumi and was currently listening to her conditions for taking her Reiryoku.
"Make you fall in love with me?" Shido questioned. He looked at Kurumi who put her finger on her lips charmingly.
"Yes, isn't Shido-san familiar with this kind of process? However, if Shido-san expresses his love for me, then it'll be my win and I get to partake in your Reiryoku."
"I see."
"I told Shido-san, didn't I? That I would properly take your Reiryoku. With these conditions, I believe that we can finally settle things between us."
Shido looked at Kurumi. It seemed that she really wasn't planning to take his Reiryoku by force even though she could instantly reach her goal by doing so.
"All right. I accept your conditions." Shido agreed with a nod of his head. It would be the same as usual: make the Spirit open her heart and then seal them with a kiss. He knew the favor was slightly tilted in Kurumi's favor as he had already confessed his love for her but he wanted to grab any opportunity to win her heart.
"I'm glad that you accepted it, Shido-san." Kurumi smiled widely and walked up towards him. Shido wasn't prepared however when she unexpectedly pressed him against the wall and then, trapping his head between both of her hands against the wall, licked his cheek. "That makes me ve~ry happy."
"Kurumi?!" Shido-san, realizing that the competition already started, cursed his naivety of letting the femme fatale get close. He blushed immensely when he felt her soft thigh push in between his legs. With just that single push, an arousing heat enflamed his entire body that made him desperately want to take off his pants.
"Ara ara, I'm glad to see that Shido-san's body still remembers me."
Kurumi smirked, feeling his bulge through his pants. She then quickly turned around and, to Shido's enthrallment, began rotating and grinding her perfect ass on his hardened erection, making Shido squirm with restrained delight.
"Say, Shido-san. If you were to cum for me, would that be an expression of love?" Kurumi asked teasingly. Her hips rotated again in just that perfect way that made his dick all tingly.
"Ku… rumi…." Shido gasped in pleasure. He desperately wanted more. But, he couldn't give in. If he didn't know what Kurumi was aiming for after that question, he would be a fool.
But, Kurumi was too good. Each sway of her hips attacked his willpower and every time her ass rolled over his dick made him pant and moan in want and desire. His hips started to buck forward in tandem with her. His hands moved up, hovering over her breasts, wanting to feel and squeeze them.
Kurumi tilted her head up so she could move her mouth closer to his ear. With a hypnotic tone, she began to speak softly to him.
"You missed this, didn't you, Shido-san? It's fine to admit it. We're alone, without any eyes upon us."
"No… I…. uuugh…" Shido tried to deny it but ended moaning when Kurumi began to sway her hips faster and faster while looking up at his face seductively. Her glossy hair tickled his neck as she leaned her head back, captivating him with her gorgeous eyes. Why did she have to look so sexy like that? It was driving him crazy.
"Didn't you say it yourself back then? That you loved the lust I bring with my touch? Ufufu, just close your eyes and submit to me like you always do, Shido-san." Kurumi grabbed his hands and pressed them on her breasts. His hands stayed even after she let go. Kurumi's lips spread across her face.
"Then, I'm going to make Shido-san mine, okay? After all, that's what we both want." Kurumi pressed her pink lips onto his cheek, teasing his senses. "All Shido-san needs to do is leave it to me and forget about e~verything else, okay?"
And Shido did. In the end, he was just a man and couldn't resist. Letting Kurumi's beguiling voice lead him, he bucked his hips and squeezed her breasts all the while Kurumi continued to grind her ass on him. He couldn't control himself. That heat that rampaged inside his body was now condensing into his lower stomach. His orgasm was building up inside him as his breaths became more breathless and stiffer.
Kurumi knew it as well as she sensually whispered to him, "Go ahead. Cum."
Kurumi's words were the magic trigger as upon hearing her sentence, the dam burst open. With an arduous shudder, Shido released his cum and felt his underwear become slick and damp immediately. He found himself slumping against the wall and to the floor as Kurumi turned around with a glint in her eye.
"So, in the end, Shido-san came."
"…" Shido had no answer. He had no excuse for what happened. Kurumi came on to him and he gave in.
He should be feeling disappointed for losing their competition so easily. He should be feeling fear for what Kurumi was going to do to him now. Yet, all he could feel was the insurmountable bliss of giving in to Kurumi. God, was he a hopeless fool.
Kurumi reached her hand out to him and Shido squeezed his eyes shut. However, he showed no signs of resistance as he resigned himself to Kurumi's jurisdiction. However, …
"Ufufu, Shido-san can treat this as his reward for giving me such a wonderful hug back in class. After all, I wouldn't want our competition to end so quickly." Shido opened his eyes to Kurumi caressing his face gently as she smiled mirthfully at his expression. "However, if Shido-san happens to cum again because of me… I won't be so lenient next time, okay?"
"O-okay." Shido slowly nodded his head. It seemed that he was off the hook by Kurumi's mercy.
Kurumi looked down towards his pants which now had a huge wet spot. Donning a light-hearted look, she asked Shido playfully, "But, didn't Shido-san give in to me a little bit too easily?"
"Th-that… you came on to me so suddenly a-and I didn't have time to prepare myself and…" Shido turned his head away with a blush. "… you were really sexy." By the end of his sentence, he was muttering but Kurumi heard all of it as her face widened with glee.
"Ara ara, if that's the case, then I guess it couldn't be helped. Besides, I had plenty of tries to experiment."
Plenty of tries? Shido wondered what she meant but Kurumi, noticing his questioning gaze, waved her hand dismissively.
"Don't mind what I said. More importantly, Shido-san is a mess." Kurumi nodded towards his wet pants. "Shall I use Dalet on you? I'll take responsibility since I'm feeling merciful."
"Ah, it's fine. This will be a reminder and a lesson to me." Shido shook his head in response. He wanted to make sure this failure would be ingrained in him. "Besides, that's your precious time. I wouldn't want you to use your lifetime for something like this."
"Mm, if that's what Shido-san wants, I understand. Then, I'll be taking my leave for now." Kurumi flashed him a smile and walked towards the roof door exit. As she opened the door, she stopped as if she remembered something.
"Shido-san, it's fine if you masturbate about me at night though. You can cum as much as you want then and I won't count it towards our competition."
"Y-you…!" Shido didn't know whether to feel embarrassed or relieved at that statement.
With those words, Kurumi left him alone at the rooftop with a wink as the door came closed with a shut.
…that girl is something else.
Shido sighed as he spread his body out onto the floor. At this rate, he shouldn't be worrying about how to make Kurumi fall in love with him but how to make sure he doesn't fall to Kurumi's antics.
…that being said, he should first go home as well and change his pants.
Valentine's Day. A day where confessions are made and couples are formed. A day where love could be felt in the air.
It was on this day that Shido was on a date with Kurumi and honestly, it was the best date he had yet. Shido found himself falling in love with Kurumi all over again. For this date, Kurumi had told him that she was going to plan out their date which was a first for him but he wasn't complaining (but Ratatoskr definitely did, saying they keep the initiative).
Shido's goal on this date was to make Kurumi fall in love with him and the way he was going to do that… was to forget about that. Yeah, it sounded controversial but he believed that it was better than unnaturally making woos at her.
Trust him, he tried at first but…
"Kurumi, you look very beautiful in those clothes." Shido made a comment about her after much debating in his mind, hoping to get a reaction out of Kurumi. "I hope that I get to see you like this more often."
"Thank you. Though Shido-san looks quite dashing himself." Kurumi answered back, not missing a beat. "If it wasn't for our competition, I would have already made our way to a secluded area and eaten you up."
"O-oh, th-thank you for not doing so."
…he ended being embarrassed himself.
So, Shido went into the date with the mindset of having fun and it seemed to be working. Kurumi was enjoying the date, smiling and giving playful banter from time to time. However, Shido made sure to not let Kurumi get too close to him, only allowing her to hug his arm as the limit. He knew himself best and knew that he couldn't resist Kurumi if he allowed her to do as she pleased.
That being said, there were three incidents where he almost dropped the ball.
The first time was in the cat café where she kissed his neck while he was busy holding a cat.
"Eh, Kurumi, wha-what are you doi…"
"Now, now, Shido-san. If you move too much, you're going to frighten the cat." Kurumi's lips mumbled against his skin as her hand sneakily crept downwards to Shido's alarm.
"But…ugh!"
If it wasn't for the cat actually getting frightened by Shido's outburst and jumping into Kurumi's arms, Shido would have received much more than kisses.
The second time was in the lingerie shop.
Kurumi beckoned Shido over after he gave his input about her underwear. What he didn't expect was for Kurumi to suddenly grab his arm, pull him into the changing room while closing the curtain. Soon enough…
"Ara ara, I guess Shido-san really wasn't lying when he said this underwear suited me. After all, look at how excited you are." Trapping him in the changing room in her pure, white underwear, Kurumi used her palm to push his stiff dick against his stomach and began to rub it lavishly.
"St-stop, Kurumi. If you keep this up, I'll…"
"Ufufu, what if I don't want to stop?" Kurumi naughtily answered as she pressed herself more onto him.
Thankfully, the shop attendant came and interrupted them before things could progress further.
And the third time was in the restaurant where she gave him a lavish footjob under the tablecloth while eating lunch.
"Shido-san, if you take it off, it'll feel much better." Kurumi temptingly whispered to him with a sly smile as her toes tugged on the waistband of his pants, waiting for him to allow her to have full access to his erection.
"I-I'll refrain." If I feel any better, I'm definitely going to cum. In the end, Shido was able to successfully hold himself back throughout the date but Kurumi did a real good job of giving him blue balls.
However, he wasn't prepared for what happened in the end. When she shot down all the cameras that were around them and destroyed the communicator in his ear, he found himself following her into one of her bases in an abandoned warehouse.
With the Tenth Bullet, Yud, she shared her memories with him and revealed everything about her past and her ultimate goal: to go back in time and prevent the First Spirit from ever existing.
"Shido-san, I know that in the end, I'm asking for your death but please, if I erase the First Spirit in the past, I will never become a Spirit and that means that Shido will never have died." Kurumi looked at Shido with a pleading gaze.
Shido's heart was in turmoil.
Anger, sorrow, regret, emotions that he knew weren't his own but from the beautiful girl in front of him were torrenting within him. Yet, he didn't reject these feelings but embraced them as if they were his own. He now understood. He painfully understood why Kurumi couldn't accept him, why she needed to eat him, why she looked as if she was in so much pain.
Shido hugged Kurumi tightly, to her surprise. "Kurumi, I love you. I would be willing to do anything for you." Kurumi slightly widened her eyes at his confession. They both knew what it meant to confess one's love in this competition. It was the admittance of defeat.
Yet, Shido confessed. He wanted to convey his heart to Kurumi as he separated himself and looked into Kurumi's eyes.
"Then..." Kurumi, after overcoming her initial shock, brightened but Shido cut her off, "But I can't give you my Reiryoku."
"…that's quite distasteful, Shido-san, to play with a girl's heart like that." For the first time that day, Kurumi frowned at Shido. "If you truly love me as you say you do and want to help, this is the best way."
Despite Kurumi's insistence, Shido still shook his head. "No, if you really do that, then our encounter will have never existed." Kurumi looked at him in shock as he continued, "To live a life where I never met you, that's too cruel for me. The times I spent with you, I don't want all of that to suddenly disappear."
Kurumi looked at him complicatedly before biting her lips lightly.
"If you don't want our encounter with each other to disappear, are you implying that I give up my goal? Do you think I never considered it? To just let go of my goal and live normally?" Kurumi's voice was now trembling. Shido could only watch as Kurumi's voice continued to get louder.
"I did! There were times where I just wanted to give up! To just let go of my pain, my suffering! It would have been so much easier to just forget about Sawa-san, to forget about my revenge on Takamiya Mio! But I didn't! I couldn't! Because that would be selfish of me! I wouldn't be able to face Sawa-san if I did!"
"I know. I just experienced your memories. I can never force you to do something like that, Kurumi." Shido rested his hands on Kurumi's shoulders, calming her down considerably. Kurumi's head dropped down as her voice continued weakly.
"Then, what are you suggesting? You don't want to give me your Reiryoku but you don't want me to give up my goal." Kurumi tightened her grip onto Shido's shirt. "It's not like I want to kill Shido-san. I know Shido-san is kind. Kind enough to try to save someone like me."
Kurumi rested her head onto Shido's chest, not letting him see her face.
"Shido-san, it would be so much easier… if you weren't so kind."
"…"
Shido noticed her hands were quietly shaking. You call me kind, yet what about yourself, Kurumi? Shido knew that even though she was the Worst Spirit, Tokisaki Kurumi was kind. Kinder than any person he ever met. Why else would she be suffering like this?
"But, isn't this why we had this competition in the first place? So that we could settle things. I came here resolved. So, Shido-san, please."
Kurumi looked up at him with determined eyes.
"Please, don't make this hard. For both of our sakes."
Kurumi watched as Shido, who was only watching until now, finally open his mouth.
"Even so, I can't give you my Reiryoku. Kurumi, I'm going to seal your Reiryoku."
"…I see." Kurumi couldn't hide her disappointment. But, Shido wasn't done yet.
"If I seal your Reiryoku, with your power, I can possibly seal the First Spirit and with her power, I'll be able to change only the desired things."
"…What?"
"I don't know if it's certain but if the First Spirit is as strong as you say, I'll make sure that everything becomes corrected. I can change history the way I want without any consequences. So, Kurumi, please, trust me!"
Kurumi's thoughts were complicated as she wondered how Shido was able to think of such a ridiculous thing. Shido's offer certainly fulfilled the purpose that Kurumi had strived for. However, there was still something holding her back.
"Shido-san, I killed many people and committed many sins. I've eaten so many people already. I filled my hands with blood, telling myself that this was the only path. Is it really fine now? To disregard all those that I sacrificed for my own gain? To reach out for hope and wish for a miracle?"
Kurumi looked at Shido conflictedly but Shido held her tightly. "Kurumi, if you can't forgive yourself, then I'll forgive you. I can't say that I approve of the path you took but from now on, I won't ever let you suffer by yourself. I'll stake my life upon it. It may be selfish of me but I want to be with you, Kurumi."
"And that's because…"
"Right. Because, I love you, Kurumi."
Kurumi looked into Shido's eyes and saw his determination and resolve. Ah, what a hopeless girl she was, to be tempted by an offer that may not even succeed.
But to entrust herself to him, how wonderful that would be. To believe in him, it would be like a dream. All Kurumi had to do was reach out towards him.
Haha, if me of all people is already thinking like this… Kurumi smiled as she placed her hands on Shido's shoulders. From the moment she saw his eyes, he had already won her heart.
"If you take responsibility for me, I promise to give you everything, including my Reiryoku."
With that, Kurumi gave a promise that would change her entire life, placing herself in Shido's hands. And, seeing Kurumi putting all her trust in him, how could Shido not respond in kind? He leaned in closer to her face and Kurumi seeing his intention, moved in as well.
Their lips finally met together.
Her lips were everything he imagined them to be: soft, addicting, luscious. Shido tightened his grip on her shoulders as he pressed his lips onto Kurumi's. Warmth continuously traveled into his body, the transfer process being longer than usual. It attested to the amount of Reiryoku Kurumi had gathered. Soon enough, white particles of light began to emit from Kurumi's body as the remaining clothes on her body began to dissipate, leaving her naked in Shido's arms.
"Shido-san…" Kurumi muttered as they delicately separated. It was just a simple kiss. It was chaste compared to all the things they already did. Yet, was it really just that? Both of them knew that wasn't the case. Their first kiss was the culmination of everything that happened and the start of something new.
I'm not dreaming, am I? Shido was still savoring the soft sensation of Kurumi's lips, his lips feeling numb from the kiss. Shido was no stranger to kisses. However, to kiss Kurumi was like a dream come true. From a long time ago, he always wanted to touch, to feel her lips with his own and now that he finally did, he felt he could die right there and then.
He then looked at Kurumi who was naked. Her white porcelain skin which luster shone by the moonlight was an entrancing sight that he would forever immortalize in his mind. He could feel his body already reacting to the perfection before him and knew that he wanted more. However, considering the sensitive events that just happened, Shido thought it would be rude and tried to maintain his calm demeanor.
However, Kurumi saw Shido trying to stay calm over her naked body and immediately laughed inside. Really, how cute. All the stress that she was holding was relieved from their kiss and now, her desire to 'have fun' had taken over.
"Ara, Shido-san. Don't you still need to take responsibility for making me naked?" Kurumi lightly wrapped her arms around Shido's neck. Blood rushed up Shido's face as Kurumi's face leaned in close to his. "I don't know about you, Shido-san but I…want…more."
She immediately went in and kissed Shido again, this time with more fervor and passion. Shido, surprised at first, immediately hugged her back and savored the taste of her lips again, the first time being too short for him. He pressed against her lips with a sense of need, to which Kurumi responded in kind. Kurumi's tongue prodded at his mouth, asking for permission for entry and when he opened it, her tongue quickly entwined with his.
Mmgh! Her tongue is…
Shido's mind exploded from the sensory overload. He was overwhelmed by the sudden taste of saliva that wasn't his. He wasn't used to such a deep kiss; all his kisses with the other Spirits would only end with lip contact but Kurumi's tongue pushed itself inside him, showing him what a real kiss was. He didn't reject it and found his tongue pushing back against hers, asserting for dominance in a heated exchange.
Of course, Kurumi immediately crushed his resistance. Running her fingers through his hair and pushing her soft body against him, her tongue pushed against his in a gentle but passionate manner. Kurumi ended up toppling over Shido as they both tumbled to the bed but not letting go of each other's lips. Shido tried one last time to gain control of the kiss but Kurumi kept her lips firmly pressed hard against his, continuing her dominance over him.
Just when he was running out of breath, Kurumi finally released him. A strand of saliva remained as she slowly lifted her head up. Kurumi looked hungrily at Shido with light breaths, a slight flush on her face adding to her gorgeous face.
…I think I might actually die.
Shido felt his soul taken by the ravishing Spirit before him. Her glossy black hair fell over her delicate neckline towards her ample breasts that begged to be grabbed. The elegant curve of her back stood out as she leaned forward with her slender figure. Her white, clear, porcelain skin was so perfect that Shido felt he would dirty it with his touch. And the way her smooth thighs just pressed into him, and her moist sex dampening his skin upon its wet touch was so maddening.
And her eyes. He couldn't look away from those alluring eyes that looked at him so intently, that told him that she was going to make him hers and that there was nothing that was going to stop her.
Long story short, Shido was aroused. Very aroused.
"Ufufu, Shido-san must be relieved," Kurumi smirked at his stupefied gaze. She looked down at his clothes and, deciding that it was a nuisance, grabbed his shirt and aggressively ripped it away. With her Spirit strength, it was a simple matter to tear apart fabrics. In a mere moment, Kurumi put him in a similar naked state just like her.
"After all, during our date, Shido-san wanted to moan and cum to me but couldn't, right?" Kurumi felt something poking her ass and seeing that it was his length, she snickered before lifting herself. "So, this time, let's keep things honest here, shall we? No more pretending that you don't enjoy this."
With that, Kurumi pressed her firm bottom onto his rod, trapping it between her two mounds. Shido gasped as she pressed more weight on it, grinding her hips against his crotch. He gripped the sheets of the bed tightly, trying to hold onto something tangible to help him stay sane. But, Kurumi slid up and down against his dick, making him squirm and gasp against her. Her fingers ran across his chest and she would lean down and give him quick kisses, teasing his senses with fire. He was basically teeming with ecstasy as raw heat continued to fill his incoherent mind and body.
"Shido-san, what do you want from me? Do you want to feel my breasts? Put your cock inside of my mouth? Do you want me to lick you all over? Just ask for anything, Shido-san, and I'll give it to you." Kurumi enjoyed having power over Shido and knew that he was also turned on when she was aggressive. She continued her grinding as Shido let out another moan.
"Kurumi, I…gasp…" Shido could barely speak as Kurumi put more of her weight on him. "What was that, Shido-san? I couldn't hear you." Shido could see her smiling as she tortured him with pleasure. She wasn't making this easy for him.
Shido, trying his best, let out, "Kurumi, your mouth!" Kurumi was gleeful as Shido expressed his desire. Getting off him, she lowered herself and ran her tongue across his length, making Shido grab her head but trying to be gentle at the same time. Kurumi only put the bulb of his head into her mouth, allowing Shido to feel the moistness of her tongue at his tip only but the sensation that Shido was feeling already enough for him to feel that he was going to explode.
"Kurumi, please, more!" Shido begged. Kurumi responded to Shido by slowly taking more of his length into her mouth and making sure that none of his length was untouched by her tongue, which was playfully swishing around. She began to softly hum, making the vibration from her mouth drive Shido to his edge. Oh God, at this rate, he felt that his mind might actually break from the raw excitement.
It was one thing to masturbate about Kurumi and it was another thing to actually feel Kurumi's lips around his dick. Just seeing Kurumi suck on him was arousing and hearing her moan, which was enough to turn on any man, was enough to send him to the edge.
"Kurumi, oh Kurumi, please! I… I need…" Recognizing that Shido was close, Kurumi took him into her mouth as much as she could, making it that his cock was touching her throat and using her tongue to press his cock against the roof of her mouth, suctioned in to make it as tight as possible.
"Ooohhhh!" Shido felt the climax build up as much as possible before coming straight into Kurumi's throat. Kurumi held onto his hips, making sure that she didn't let him go until he finished with his climax and accepted everything that he gave her. Only after Shido finished with a small twitch did she release her mouth, his cock still wet from her saliva.
Shido watched as Kurumi licked her lips after swallowing all of his cum. Damn, he was right to ask Kurumi for a blowjob. The things that she could do with her mouth were amazing. He sat up in order to kiss her again and Kurumi accepted, this time, with the kiss being gentler than before but addicting nonetheless as Kurumi guided his inexperience tongue with her own, exchanging saliva and exploring each other's mouths. Kurumi kept kissing and sucking until Shido had to separate, panting from the passion he felt from Kurumi alongside his own.
"Shido-san, I promised to give you everything, didn't I?" Shido could only nod at Kurumi's question. Kurumi smiled before leaning in forward towards his ear, breathing out seductively, "Shido-san, don't you want to fuck me?"
Shido could only gasp. Even though they had many explicit experiences together, not once had they crossed the final line. It was an unwritten rule that was shared between both of them. Shido inadvertently looked towards her vagina. It was wet and shiny from her arousal, causing his heart to pound in anticipation and making his erection react again.
Kurumi blushed slightly, slightly embarrassed by the way Shido was wantonly staring at her sex but she continued, "Can you imagine it? Your cock inside of my pussy, giving each other our virginities, experiencing the peak pleasure as we consume each other in lust." Kurumi smirked as she grabbed his dick, which was completely stiff at this point. "Looks like your little friend here is excited."
At this point, Kurumi was a succubus, tempting him to unearthly pleasure. And Shido willingly accepted it as she pushed him down again. Holding his cock in her hand, she positioned herself so that her entrance was right above it. She held still for a moment.
"Shido-san, you love me, right?" Kurumi suddenly asked. She would be lying if she said if she wasn't feeling apprehension; it was going to be her first time after all.
"I love you, Kurumi." However, she was comforted immediately by Shido's words. That was right. She was finally going to do it with the person she loved, with the person who saved her.
With that, Kurumi descended.
"Kurumi!" Shido could only shout out her name as his length was surrounded by indescribable tightness and euphoria that he almost blacked out from the pleasure. "Ah!" Kurumi gasped as she tried to adjust to the pain of his penetration, somewhat regretting that she dropped down in one go.
Shido saw Kurumi's face wincing in pain and suddenly felt guilty about how he was only focused on his own pleasure. "Kurumi, are you okay?" Shido resisted the urge to just buck his hips and thrust though it was taking all of his willpower.
"Yes, Shido-san. Just give me a few moments." Kurumi took this time to catch her breath, slowly relaxing herself and getting used to the feeling. Soon, she worked up a reassuring smile towards Shido.
"I'm ready now."
She first started with a single rock.
"Ugh!" Shido could only grit his teeth as he felt her hot and wet walls tightening around his cock and creating friction for every movement she did. Needing to hold onto something, anything, he found his hands grabbing her ass and squeezing them, much to Kurumi's content.
"Ah, Shido-san, that's…" Kurumi couldn't say anymore as he began to thrust upwards, wanting to feel the heat of her sex more and go deeper. She met his thrusts as she began to go up and down, letting out moans of lust. She would lift her hips up until he barely was inside of her and then slide down all the way, taking him to the hilt, eliciting a moan out of Shido. She could feel his hard length sliding in her and it was making her tremble with excitement and desire. She could feel her breath becoming shallower and faster as she began to set a rhythm.
"Kurumi, Kurumi, Kurumi!" Shido could only yell her name as he was overwhelmed by the hard sensation that she was giving him. The way she looked at him and rocked her hips, the way her sex tightened around him, her breasts bouncing up and down, he was hypnotized by her existence.
"Yes, yes, just like that, Shido-san!" Kurumi yelled. They were both driving each other mad with pleasure as their eyes were filled with lust and love for each other. Shido felt his balls tighten as he could feel his orgasm building up again, this time with greater force than ever as her tightness kept it in, letting it accumulate. Kurumi could also feel herself coming close and pushed herself down as much as possible.
"Shido-san, do it! Cum inside of me!" She leaned back, arching her back, and began squeezing her sex and milking Shido for all that he was worth. Shido complied as his thrust became harder, expressing his raw lust. With a loud shout, he released everything he had, and at the same time, Kurumi also came. Shido felt that he had exchanged his soul for blissful pleasure, giving all he had towards Kurumi. He had never experienced such an intoxicating and crisp orgasm as this before.
"Haa, haa…"
Kurumi collapsed onto Shido upon her orgasm. Shido immediately moved his hands from her ass towards her back as he began to rub her lightly. They both stayed silent, appreciating the silence after their endeavor, while a coarse smell began to fill the room.
"Was that really your first time?" Shido asked. He was too aroused at the moment but it now hit him that Kurumi really was a virgin.
Kurumi playfully raised an eyebrow at him. "Ara ara, was breaking my hymen not enough proof for you?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!" Shido realized that he phrased his question poorly. "It's just that… I thought that with your looks and all, people would be falling over you left and right."
Kurumi softly smiled at him. "Well, I did receive a love letter back before I turned into a Spirit but I didn't accept it. And, after I became a Spirit, I did seduce many people who clearly had ill intents but they all got eaten by me before they could lay their hands on me."
"Oh, I see."
"Yes, in fact, Shido-san is the first person who I truly seduced. Shido-san was my first for everything." Kurumi reached her hand out to caress his face. Shido didn't resist. He was honored that Kurumi chose him.
"Wait. When you gave me a handjob and blowjob all the way back then, that was your first time? You looked as if you knew what you were doing though." Shido questioningly looked at Kurumi, who stiffened upon hearing him.
"…Shido-san, that's a secret. A woman who keeps her cards hidden is more attractive, you know. Let's go to sleep now, shall we?"
"But…"
"Let's go to sleep now, shall we?" Kurumi's voice became heavier.
"…okay."
In the end, Shido dropped the matter. Cuddling with Kurumi, they slept in peace in each other's warmth.
After Shido woke up, Kurumi had discussed with him that she would rather work alone separately, as per her modus operandi. However, she would lend her support when Shido needed it. Despite Kurumi being sealed, she still had her limited Astral Dress and her clones thankfully.
Although Shido wanted her to join Ratatoskr, he respected her decision. They both parted ways but not before Kurumi gave him a deep kiss. Only after a full minute did they finally separate, both of them blushing heavily.
Shido went back to Ratatoskr and confirmed that he had successfully sealed Kurumi, much to the joy of the Spirits. However…
"But, Shido, was there really a need to stay the night with Kurumi? If it wasn't for Nia confirming your safety, I would've thought that she killed you." Kotori narrowed her eyes at Shido who turned his head away slightly.
"…Kurumi was really hard to convince."
"…huh." What a flat-out lie. Kotori gave a suspicious look towards Shido, who tried to keep a straight face. This was the beginning of how Kotori found out the truth but for now, it was only a glimpse.
Shido also needed to keep his promise to Kurumi and needed to confirm if it was really possible. Thankfully, there was a way to check.
"Nia, can I ask you for a favor?" Shido came to Nia's apartment where she was lounging in her room while having a cup of coffee next to her. She looked at him, "Ah, Boy?! What a coincidence! I was just about to look for you! What do you need?"
"Can you check if it's possible for me to seal the Spirit of Origin?" Although Shido could technically also manifest Rasiel, he never did it before and could never seem to manifest the book completely so he still had to rely on Nia who was still able to use it.
Nia's face shook with surprise. Seeing how serious Shido was, she opened her Rasiel and immediately began searching through it. Her eyes furrowed in focus before closing her book.
"In the state you're currently in, it's impossible." Nia looked at Shido, who couldn't help but show his disappointment. However, that changed as Nia continued, "You would need all 10 Sephira crystals to have the power to seal her. However, you only have 9 and a half so you're just a bit off."
Shido immediately brightened as he realized that his plan to Kurumi was in fact possible and realized their next target. "So, we need to retrieve the Qlipha Crystal from Westcott." Westcott had Beelzebub, which was the other half of Rasiel. Although this meant that they would basically have to go to war with DEM, it wasn't like they were on friendly terms anyway, and was inevitable. "Thanks, Nia!"
Nia giggled as she then asked, "So, Boy, since I did you a favor, can you do me a favor in return?" Shido, being elated, answered without a thought, "Sure, what do you need?" However, he quickly regretted it as he felt a déjà vu from Nia's impish expression.
"Bottom."
"?"
"How was it being a bottom?"
"?!"
"Yah~, I mean, with someone like Kurumin being on top, Boy's first time must've been- eh, where are you going?!"
Shido ran away immediately with a furious blush on his face but not before hearing off in the distance, "Stop, Boy! You have to tell me the juicy details! You're going to be a great reference for my manga!"
Omake
Back when Kurumi had first taken in Shido after Kotori's attack at Raizen High…
"Is me still watching over Shido-san?"
"Ufufu, she's like a dutiful housewife, taking care of her sick husband."
"Me is very busy nowadays."
In the shadows, multiple people who looked exactly the same. They were Kurumi's clones, which were created by the Eight Bullet, Tet. Today, they were discussing something.
"Hey, what is me reading?"
Their curiosity was well-founded. Reading books were a common pastime of theirs so it wasn't unusual to see the original reading. But, rarely had they seen the original so engrossed in a book, with a tint of red on her cheeks. It was as if she was embarrassed of the content yet at the same time, excited.
Was she reading something about cats? One of the clones decided to get a closer look from the shadows as she peeked from the shadows at the title of the book. What she saw was…
"100 ways to Please Your Lover For Dummies."
"Oh, is me planning to do that with Shido-san?!" The clone shrieked in delight, immediately catching the original's attention.
"Wha…?! N-no! I mean, ye… Hey, didn't I say not to disturb me while I'm tending to Shido-san's injuries?!"
Needless to say, a huge commotion broke out between Kurumi and her clones.
