Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Setsuna (EC)

"Miss Makima, aren’t you going to stop her?"

At Reze’s complaint, Makima could only reply helplessly, "I can’t stop her."

Kotone Asaba shrugged as well, indicating that there was nothing he could do. "Neither can I."

"It seems Reze has quite a problem with me?"

The Death Devil smiled at Reze.

Hearing the woman address her in such an overly familiar way made Reze frown slightly.

Although she already knew this "woman" had compromised, strictly speaking, they were still enemies. The peace only applied for this next month. What would happen once that month was over remained uncertain.

"..."

Seeing that neither Kotone nor Makima could do anything about this "woman," Reze had no choice but to endure it for now.

But...

"Fine, you can stay here, but do you seriously plan on camping out in Koto’s room?"

Reze’s displeasure was obvious in her voice.

"Don’t be so stingy. Besides, Asaba doesn’t seem to mind."

The Death Devil maintained her smile the entire time, making it impossible to tell what she was really thinking.

"No, I do mind. My bed is only so big," Kotone said.

Unfortunately, his objection was clearly meaningless.

"It’s fine. There’s more than enough room if the four of us squeeze together."

Faced with the shamelessly persistent Death Devil, Reze could only pray that nothing happened tonight.

In every possible sense of the word...

"By the way, what should we normally call you? We can’t keep calling you Death or the Death Devil all the time, can we?" Kotone suddenly asked.

"A name? Let me think..." the Death Devil replied. "Just call me Setsuna."

"Setsuna, huh? All right."

Kotone nodded slightly.

The name’s meaning was a little unclear to him, but it was still much more convenient than constantly addressing her by her Devil title.

"Let’s get some sleep. It’s already pretty late."

Kotone immediately lay down on the bed.

He had originally assumed Setsuna would squeeze in beside Makima. If they arranged themselves that way, there really would be enough room on the bed.

Instead, the next second, Setsuna silently climbed directly on top of him before cheerfully saying, "Good night~"

Kotone could clearly feel Setsuna’s soft body pressed against him, and his body nearly reacted on instinct.

At the same time, he could feel Reze’s resentful stare and Makima’s piercing gaze.

Asa Mitaka and Fami had only left the Asaba residence after eating dinner.

They walked together for part of the way, with just the two of them.

At first, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward. Fami wasn’t particularly talkative, while Asa had no idea what she was supposed to say to her. After all, Fami was a Devil.

By now, Asa no longer hated Devils as absolutely as she once had, but her feelings toward them had only become increasingly complicated.

After all, she herself could now be considered half Devil.

"You don’t need to be so nervous. Come on, call me your sister," Fami suddenly said, breaking the silence first.

Asa was just about to respond when Yoru abruptly appeared and stopped her.

"Asa, ignore that crazy woman."

By now, Yoru and Asa were practically one entity. Whatever Asa did, Yoru felt as though she had done it too.

"Huh...?"

Only then did Asa remember that Yoru had never gotten along particularly well with Fami.

She immediately hesitated, unsure which one of them she should listen to.

"Don’t listen to her," Yoru emphasized again.

"Okay..."

In the end, Asa listened to Yoru.

She quickly forced the conversation onto another subject. "Um, Fami, are you heading home now?"

"I said, call me your sister."

Fami stubbornly insisted that Asa acknowledge her that way, her face remaining completely expressionless.
