Asuka of the Scarlet Sky

Thunderbolt opened her eyes while hearing the sound of water splashing.1

The head who faintly wake up recalls what happened and it revived her.

Wait, Yuuto-kun!!

Her spine froze from her own blunder, Thunderbolt hurried and went up after her perception widened.

Ah, great. Are you okay?

A voice calls out to Thunderbolt who has her heart pounding. Turning around, Yuuto who holds a washbasin in his hand looks at Thunderbolt in relief.

Seeing Yuutos face, Thunderbolts eyes unintentionally blurred.

However, after a moment of relief, Thunderbolts heart felt shock from her own clothes.

Thin underwear. Thunderbolt felt confused for having only that as her clothes.

When she turned her consciousness to Yuutos hand in panic, the clothes she prepared for this day is drenched on the washbasin.

Ah, sorry. I learned from Sasha that I should drop it on hot water so the blood wont make a stain. Look, you cant see it anymore right?2

Yuuto smiles and open the clothes filled with soap bubble to show to Thunderbolt. Thanks to her clothes stained with her nosebleed being treated immediately, you wont see it stained at a glance.

Thunderbolts face dyed red from the situation where the man in her heart washes her clothes.

Uwawawawawa! W-w-w-w-w-what are you doing Yuuto-kun! Its fine! I dont mind it in particular!

Eeh? Thats no good. This dress seems to be expensive. You probably chose it for me too

Thunderbolt moved her hands meaninglessly as shes perplexed from Yuutos voice.

Then, she finally arrived to a simple question.

The white sheets covering her. A bed under her ass. Then, the space for only the two of them.

Wheres this?

Thunderbolt senses the location while muttering. Its a building near the plaza. Without going out of the room, she used her demon eyes to read whats written on the signboard in the building.

Thunderbolt opened her mouth in surprise before Yuuto could respond to her mutter.

Its an inn near the plaza. Thunderbolt-san fainted. We have to wash your clothes too. We can also take a rest here

I-Is that so? Thanks

Thunderbolts voice was shaking while saying that.

Though Yuuto said it without meaning anything, Thunderbolt was familiar with this inn.

(I-Its a love hotel!!)

Apart from lodging, this is a traditional love hotel with where a man and woman can go in with the purpose of resting. Though its a peculiar facility among the strict housing situation of the capital, it seems that Yuuto doesnt know for some reason due to his reaction.

I was also able to borrow hot water, Im glad. Okay! We should just dry this

Feeling satisfied from washing the clothes, Yuuto takes the dress in front of the fireplace. Its off the season but itll dry just right.

Thunderbolt swallowed her saliva as Yuuto hums.

However, remembering that the date is spoiled, Thunderbolts head dropped dejectedly.

U-UhmIm sorry. Even though its the long awaited date

Thunderbolt grasped the sheets while her tears float.

Shes always like this. She selfishly goes in high spirit and turns it into fruitless effort.

I dont mind

Yuutos indifferent voice reached Thunderbolts depressed ears. Looking up, Thunderbolts lip tremble.

R-Right. Yuuto-kun doesnt care about having a date with me

Thunderbolt stopped speaking to herself. Thunderbolt was somehow able to stop her tears then, Yuuto approached her slowly.

Yuuto sits down on the side of Thunderbolt and she looked at Yuuto in surprise.

Wheres her groundless confidence from the beginning? Yuuto smilingly stared at the blindfolded girl that has become completely negative.

Hey, were alone. Wont this count as a date?

If stretched, its a distance where they would touch immediately. Thunderbolt had her eyes inside the blindfold open wide.

Yuuto clenched her left hand firmly. Thunderbolt was surprised too from the right hands finger that stretched.

The heartbeat echoes in the room.

I love you

Thunderbolts true intention obediently came out.

Yuuto casts down his eyes as hes troubled.

He knows. Thats why Thunderbolt said something unfair to Yuuto.

Yuuto-kun, do you hate me?

Yuuto stopped moving and Thunderbolts face closed meanwhile.

Scary. Scary. But, she cant stop her helpless thoughts.

Shes in front of him. The worlds strongest in perception ability. She can take everything without touching.

Still, I want to touch it

If you hate then decline

Knowing that its helplessly unfair, Thunderbolt kissed Yuutos lip.

Different from perception, A definite touch.

Yuutos eyes opened but Thunderbolt didnt stop.

Her heart simply heats up.

This boldness cant be considered if its her normal self. However, she feels that she wont have a chance if she missed this.

I love you. Yuuto-kun, I love you

Shell work hard. Those are her only thoughts.

Shes touching the one she loves. It would be a lie if she doesnt work hard.

Please embrace me

Thunderbolt delivered all of her courage in life to Yuuto.

P-Please

Thunderbolt showed off her naked self to Yuuto after a few minutes.

She doesnt wear anything but the eye mask.3Her body is exposed.

This is the second time she showed her skin. But its different from that time as she fell for the man in front of her.

Thunderbolt-san, are you ?

Yes

Thunderbolt cuts Yuutos words

She felt a bit happy at the same time. Even though he did that at first.

Do me as you like Yuuto-kun. Ill do anything. Ill accept anything

True feelings. She knows. She understands her place.

Still, if he only looked for him even for a bit.

Ill do anything Yuuto-kun says

Thunderbolt stared at Yuuto.

Its the resolution of a pure-blood. Even the dull Yuuto knows it.

Youll do anything?

Thunderbolts body trembled even though its just a small question, then she nodded.

She can even be treated severely. However, she received an unexpected word.

Show me your face

Short. Towards Yuuto thats scratching his cheek, Thunderbolt instinctively responded.

Eh?

Like I said, Thunderbolt-sans real face I havent seen it properly yet

Shaken, Thunderbolt held the eye mask with her finger. The real face that was exposed to tens of thousands of people now feels much more embarrassing than being naked.

Thats natural. Shes living all this time hiding it.

Ah, No. Butthat, it doesnt make the mood well

Its not her usual face. Its an eye thats been crushed and damaged by herself a lot of times.

And above all, its a cross pupil.

Yuuto spoke firmly once again to the Thunderbolt thats been averting her glance.

Could you show me Thunderbolt-sans real face?

Hes telling that its okay.

Thunderbolt steeled herself due to his expression.

Slowly, she slowly gripped the eye mask.

Scary. Scary. Im afraid to be seen by Yuuto

Still.

Ah, AahAuuu

Among the mute shame, fear, and excitement, Thunderbolt turned her eyes towards Yuuto.

Her vision spreads out. Her demon eyes that had no limit.

His face laughs in front of her.

Its beautiful

Yuutos finger quietly traced the golden cross surroundings.

Marks of repeated wounds. Her pitiful perseverance.

The cross eyes that aimed, but it swayed.

No way. You dont have to overdo it

Im glad. Im glad. Im so glad that I want to cry, Im so glad that I want to shout

However, contrary to her nature, even though she knows that his words are real, she cant accept such things.

Its true, Its beautiful I like Thunderbolt-sans eyes and wounds4

Theres no way hed hate it.

He apologized at the scarlet girl in his mind as Yuuto stares straight to the girl in front of him.

Just how much she had worked hard?

There should be someone telling her.

Though it might be a mistake that its him, Yuuto spoke to the trembling girl.

You did well. Good girl

Words spoken to children. Thats fine.

The words she shouldve accepted that day should be given by him.

Come here, Thunderbolt

The girl jumped into the chest of the smiling boy.

Shes was praised. She should be asking for a reward even for a bit.
