At the End of Revenge, There You Are ~The Scum Who Killed My Beloved, Prepare Yourselves! I Will Drag You All to Hell... Wait, What? Why Are the Heroine and the Demoness Coming After Me, a Woman!?(GL) - Chapter 13

“This is the evening news. Yesterday, the renowned explorer team Golden Eagle encountered a high-ranking demon while exploring the Musashino Dungeon. Sensing danger, the leader and members managed to escape thanks to their quick thinking. However, the healer, Yuzuha Hanashiro, was unable to react in time and was left behind, unfortunately losing her life. Hanashiro was well known for her charming personality and even ran her own video channel…”

Hearing the news, which justified the surviving members while shifting the blame onto Yuzuha, I felt a surge of intense anger. Unable to contain it, I hurled the remote at the cushion nearby.

What followed were meaningless words of condolence.

I knew complaining to the TV station wouldn’t change anything, but to put it bluntly, I was furious.

“Akari, you shouldn’t get so worked up over this.”

Yuzuha, who had been lying beside me, sat up, picked up the remote, and turned off the television.

“Easier said than done… Wait, at least put on some pajamas.”

Her nonchalant reaction made me feel relieved—glad that I had been able to save her. That warmth of relief quickly overrode my anger.

However, Yuzuha was still practically naked, wearing nothing but her underwear… Have some shame, at least!

“But I don’t want to. I finally survived and can cuddle with you again. Why would I bother putting on clothes?”

“H-Hey!”

Stop pulling on my clothes!

And yet, in an instant, she had already stripped me. Damn it, Yuzuha knows all my weak points too well.

Her gentle yet bold touch against my skin, along with my clothes being removed, made my cheeks flush.

“I-I don’t mind cuddling, but at least let me rest a little first…”

It’s not that I dislike being close to Yuzuha.

I’m beyond happy that she’s alive, and being able to touch her like this fills me with joy.

But… but still.

She just put me through something crazy again not too long ago.

So just give me a little break, okay?

“You’re so cute~~~♡”

But my plea was utterly ignored.

Smooch

“Mmm…♡”

She hugged me, kissed me, and… (The rest has been censored for broadcasting…)

Seriously, using a toy like that is just unfair!

And yet, my body reacted so honestly.

Why am I the one being relentlessly teased?!

This has been going on for almost a week now… I get that I need to lay low until the day I originally took action to avoid raising suspicion, but this is just too much!

Still, time continued to pass regardless…

“Wow, the message board is a mess.”

While I remained lazily sprawled out, Yuzuha was looking at something on her computer.

“What is it?”

She kept glancing at me expectantly, so I asked what she was looking at.

“It’s a forum. Look, Tou, check this out. A Forum Praising Golden Eagle… Annoying, right? I want to flood it with hate comments, but I’ll hold off on that for now. Just look at this part…”

From the look on her face, I doubted she was actually going to let it go. Her hand gripping the mouse was trembling—most likely out of anger.

But since she wanted me to see it, I mustered the energy to sit up with her help, despite feeling drained.

H-Hey! Stop touching me in weird places while you’re at it!

She only responded with a mischievous smile, but… if this helps her calm down, I’ll let it slide for now.

On the screen, I saw a post written by that despicable party. Though they framed it as taking responsibility, it was obvious they didn’t mean a word of it. The comments were filled with people defending them.

And worse—there was an ongoing narrative that Yuzuha’s death was her own fault and that those bastards were blameless.

Let’s see here…

“Neither my nor Mari’s magic worked, and neither Kuroudo’s sword nor Sayaka’s fists had any effect.”

There wasn’t even a battle!

“We never expected it to show up in a safe zone, even if it was the lower floors.”

That’s a blatant lie.

They entered that so-called hidden chamber on their own and triggered the encounter!

“She collapsed, saying she needed a break.”

Don’t make me laugh!

You shoved her down, and that scumbag leader bound her with vines!

“It’s true that I couldn’t protect her. We were the ones who brought her along.”

You didn’t just bring her along.

You toyed with her and tried to kill her!

“I visited Yuzuha’s grave, apologized… and vowed not to give up.”

Oh, so that’s what this is about.

You only went to her grave just to make this statement, didn’t you?

“No, Akari!?”

“Mmm…”

Just as I was about to punch the computer monitor, Yuzuha stopped me.

That was close… At least I didn’t end up breaking it.

“It’s okay…”

Then, she pulled me into a hug.

Her large, soft chest was warm and comforting, instantly calming me down…

But she wasn’t even wearing a bra…

Would sucking on her n1pples make her realize how unfair she’s being…?

“Thank you for being angry on my behalf, Akari♡”

“Yuzuha…”

Yeah… I’m glad I didn’t go through with that stupid prank.

“Besides, I’m alive. Thanks to you. I truly appreciate it.”

“Yeah…”

Yuzuha looked straight at me, her eyes slightly teary, yet her gratitude was crystal clear.

Wait…

A beautiful girl, practically naked, holding back tears while thanking me in a dimly lit room—do you have any idea how much of an emotional weapon that is?!

I don’t even know when my heart became so full of her. But seeing her like this—so raw, so real—it overwhelmed me with relief and happiness.

But at the same time…

I had already decided not to lie to myself anymore. I had accepted that I loved Yuzuha, that I wanted to be with her. That’s why I wished to bring her back.

I wanted to tell her how I felt properly, to say thank you for being alive… but the words wouldn’t come out.

“I love you, Akari.”

“Mmh—!”

Before I could say anything, her sweet lips sealed mine.

Wait… Now I really can’t say it…

But…

The moment she touched me, my body melted again.

It was as if I was waiting for her to touch me.

Like I wanted this.

And honestly… it did feel good.

But that’s not the point.

Right now, I just want to tell her how I feel…

My futile resistance only led to me being thoroughly toyed with. The pleasure became so overwhelming that I lost consciousness, and by the time I woke up, it was the middle of the night…
