Chapter 280: Desires

Asahi opened the door to his room.

The bed looked a bit crowded with women. Shiori and Saeko guided Ray through a manga, whose golden feathers shone from the considerable cleanup from shampoo. Rini was sitting on the other side, talking to Grayfia. Nao and Rika gigged to themselves as they watched something on their mobile.

Lastly, Aimi was nowhere to be found. A quick call to Klyscha gave him the answer.

The yandere was busy torturing Valletta.

He was mentally exhausted after dealing with events one after another. Right now, he wanted to bury his head in some breasts and doze off for the night.

Ray smiled and distanced herself from the bed. Despite the apparent reluctance on her face, the Siren took a step toward the door.

Shiori grabbed her hand. "Stop. Sleep here with us."

"No… Rini said she wanted me to stay in her room."

Shiori turned to Rini. "You don't want to sleep with your Onii-san?"

"I do…"

No chance she'd reject the chance to sleep in Asahi's arms. Though with her grown figure, Asahi had a hard time restraining his lewd desires. He very much wanted to 'embrace' her, but he also wanted her to enjoy her childhood more before climbing the steps to her adulthood. Even with her bombshell body and unrestrained fury, she was fourteen years old with an awful past. A vortex of conflicting and selfish desires engulfed Asahi.

"Me, Rini, Ray, and Asahi-kun will sleep here today. The rest can go to another room," Shiori said and winked at the girls. "Got it?"

"Fine…" Rika grumbled and gave a long kiss to Asahi before leaving.

The others did the same, leaving four people in the room.

"What was that?"

Shiori smiled mischievously. "A wife asking for a favor."

"That's a thing?"

"Pretty much."

Asahi changed into a loose half-sleeved shirt and shorts, and crashed into the bed. "Ray, you alright with sleeping on this bed?"

"...Yes."

He shrugged. If Ray was fine with it, then he wasn't going to hesitate. It was simply sleeping without any sexual meaning.

Rini took off her maid dress and curled up near his chest. He planted several kisses on her cheeks. Rini's breath grew heavier each time his lips trailed on her cheeks. As a woman with monster blood in her veins, her excitement reached the peak before a minute.

Ray watched them with an odd emotion in her eyes. Asahi stopped teasing Rini and glanced toward Ray.

"So, how is the Xenos village?"

Ray pulled her legs and hugged her knees. "It's a good place… everyone protects each other. Lyd is a powerful lizardman who wields swords. He is so warm and friendly. Gros is a gray-skin gargoyle. He looks intimidating at first, but he cares deeply for every member of the village. Ranye is a beautiful Arachne… she scolded me so many times for my dream… but she is also a good person… everyone is so nice."

Shiori ruffled Ray's hair. A broad grin on her face. "Sounds like a decent family."

"Yup. Thousand times better than my old one."

Shiori threw a curious glance at him. "You never told us about your old family. Let's hear it."

Rini, who was busy sniffing his scent, also nodded her head.

"Well, you wouldn't want to hear about them… just know they were bigger pieces of shit than me."

"Is that why you were adamant about having a harem?"

"Perhaps…"

"Ray, how about a song to cheer up this fella?"

Ray nodded and cleared her throat. She had sung for her village more times than she could remember.

'Will they like it?'

"Go ahead," Asahi said, giving her the last push she needed.

And her song began.

Her pure voice reverberated through the ears of the entire Familia. The calm melody conjured the image of a still river under a vivid sky within their head.

A song so beautiful that it could pull people into their demise, worthy of being a song sung by a siren.

"Beautiful."

Asahi praised. He pushed his face in Rini's pure white bra and closed his eyes. Rini felt ticklish all over. She wrapped her arms around his head and let him snuggle on her breasts.

'Onii-san…'

Shiori grinned at her. "You wanna do it with him after all."

Rini quietly nodded and closed her eyes.

'Tomorrow is the day…'

***

Next day.

Asahi opened his eyes and felt Ray's soft wings around him. She was clinging to him like a koala clinging to a tree, revealing no intention to leave.

He brushed the wings filled with incredible warmth, rousing the Siren from her sleep. Seeing him playing with her wings, her ears twitched in joy.

"Sorry. I couldn't help it." Asahi drew his hands back and got up to find himself alone.

'Where is everyone?'

As if answering his thoughts, the door opened, and Rini strode inside proudly. "Onii-san. Good morning!"

"Someone is in high spirits today."

"Umm. It's—" Rini covered her mouth and shook her head, acting a little suspicious. "Can I come along?"

He almost forgot he had a date with the Siren in the forest.

"Sure."

He hadn't spent any quality time with Rini lately. Her presence will help Ray as both were fond of each other for some reason.

'Could it be their race?'

(Yup. Half monsters and Xenos get along!)

Then there was Astraea and Loki's meeting with Ouranos. Although he trusted Loki, he still worried about his new lover getting duped by Ouranos.

'Shall I sneak in there?'

It would be an ultimate test of his stealth skill.

'I'll send Aimi with her. She can leave the teleportation marks.'

His yandere lover had cultivated her stealth skill to B-Rank. He didn't use the skill often compared to her. But it was on the cusp of becoming a B-rank skill.
