Kaede couldn't help but complain aloud.
When she first heard that Yukino had become a couple with a human, she still felt that how could a human possibly be compatible with a yuki-onna, there's no way he could satisfy a yuki-onna, right? Unexpectedly, the situation was the reverse.
Just this morning Kaede had still been wondering whether Yukino's condition had been bad last time, which is why she lost to Hikari.
But after today started, she already had no doubts about Hikari's strength.
She only felt it was too unbelievable.
She even doubted whether Yukino was really a yuki-onna.
A yuki-onna ranked only below a succubus, how could she be so weak, how could she be so easily defeated by a human.
It was truly hard to believe, simply like a fake yuki-onna.
As a member of the oni race, Kaede felt strongly dissatisfied and unreconciled, yet had no way to do anything.
She could only suddenly shift her gears to the highest, accelerating toward the terminal station without any help from gasoline, and then depressingly fell asleep.

[Early Next Morning]
After getting up and washing, Hikari found that Yukino had, as always, prepared breakfast.
She even thoughtfully prepared his schoolbag, school uniform jacket, and so on.
Sitting at the dining table, Hikari and Yukino, who was kindly feeding him breakfast, were enjoying the delicious meal together.
It wasn't clear whether it was to make up for last night's poor performance.
Just as Hikari was eating bread, he saw Yukino holding a sausage between her pink lips, saying she'd feed it to him mouth-to-mouth.
With the caring white-haired yuki-onna being so affectionate, Hikari naturally couldn't refuse, so he leaned forward.
Just like one of those little games at mixers, the lips of the two finally touched.
Already considered half a "married couple," Hikari and Yukino were both fairly fine with such clingy things, not feeling too embarrassed.
But what made things awkward was, just as Hikari and Yukino were savoring each other's sweet and tasty flavor.
The guest bedroom door creaked open.
A guest from the oni race with two pointed horns atop her forehead stepped out.
"Yukino-chan, good morning. What are you two… doing?", Kaede, with dark circles under her eyes, hadn't slept well last night.
But habitually waking early, she had no idea that upon opening the door, she'd see this clingy scene of this "man and woman in secret" with their lips pressed together, it was really too much.
Especially when thinking about yesterday's events, Kaede felt even more inexplicably furious.
"Nothing… nothing at all!", Having the clingy scene suddenly discovered by her bestie, Yukino awkwardly and quickly withdrew her tongue, while Hikari looked as calm as ever.
"Come eat breakfast, Kaede-chan," Yukino changed the subject.
"Okay," Seeing the blush on her bestie's fair cheeks, Kaede didn't say much, only pretending not to see anything and sat down at the table.
She secretly glanced at the thick-skinned human male who was eating breakfast on his own, his face showing no embarrassment from being caught, and couldn't help but touch her own lower abdomen.
Not sure if it was just hunger, but early in the morning, her stomach felt a bit warm.
Although she felt a little awkward being seen by Kaede, for the thick-skinned Hikari, this sort of thing wasn't a big deal at all.
He still calmly ate his breakfast. After all, there was school later, couldn't eat too slowly.
At the dining table, Hikari and Kaede remained silent, barely speaking.
But when Hikari finished eating and was about to leave the table for school, Kaede suddenly took the initiative to speak.
"Um, Hikari-kun."
"Hmm?", Hikari turned his head in confusion.
"That hypnosis ring is very strange. Studying it just for one day probably won't yield much," Kaede said.
"So?"
"I'd like to borrow it for another two or three days," Kaede said.
"I can lend it to you for three more days," Hikari nodded.
Kaede looked slightly pleased and was about to compliment Hikari, but Hikari immediately added, "But it'll cost extra."
Kaede's expression darkened instantly and she asked, "Extra? How so?"
"Lending it for three more days, you'll have to tell me information about the Demi-human Academy, and more information about the youkai world," Hikari said calmly.
"Fine," Kaede gritted her teeth and agreed.
Though Hikari's words annoyed her somewhat, she understood, Hikari wasn't obligated to lend the ring to her for free.
And she did still want to keep studying that strange hypnosis ring.
She had originally been curious about the ring. After studying it yesterday, she became even more curious.
She felt that after research, the ring became even more attractive, making Kaede feel an intense desire to uncover its secrets, hence she brought it up early this morning.
Since it was a transaction, offering something in return was naturally reasonable.
During the two's conversation, Yukino never interrupted, simply eating breakfast quietly beside them.
Only after they finished talking and Hikari got up from the table did Yukino also rise to help tidy his collar and see him off.
At the entranceway, the two kissed sweetly for a few more minutes before Hikari left.
Seeing this, Kaede, who was eating a sausage, bit it hard in one chomp, letting out a slight cold snort.
After all, getting fed dog food first thing in the morning really was annoying.
But in her crimson beautiful eyes, a trace of envy appeared without leaving a mark.
Kaede touched her now slightly warm lower belly again, her heart in a complicated state.

"Hikari-kun!"
Having left Yukino's house and just arrived at school, Hikari had just sat down at his seat when a crisp female voice came from outside the window.
Hearing the sudden voice from the window, Hikari turned his head.
He saw two beautiful girls like flowers holding hands outside the window looking at him.
One had a brilliant and radiant smile, poised and graceful. The other was shy and adorable, with a gentle temperament.
Both beautiful girls had bust sizes far beyond girls of the same age, and both were acquaintances.
The first was the very familiar Akane.
The other was Akane's best friend, Tachibana Yui, whom Hikari had just rescued yesterday from the minotaur Kuwahara.
Seeing this pair of beautiful bestie goddesses from the baseball club coming to see him, seemingly with something to say, Hikari stood up and walked out to the corridor.
"What is it, Akane-chan?", Hikari asked Akane, who was waving to him.
Seeing Hikari come out, Akane immediately stepped forward and took his arm, allowing him to feel that soft and ample sensation first thing in the morning, then said, "Yui-chan just told me about what happened yesterday."
"How she was almost forced again by that Kuwahara guy, and how you saved her again. Thank you so much, Hikari-kun. You're awesome!"
"If that Kuwahara guy dares to threaten Yui-chan again, I'll definitely help her teach him a lesson. The techniques you taught me, I haven't had much chance to try them out yet… But I believe you've already taken care of it."
Then, Akane leaned close to Hikari's ear, warm breath brushing against his earlobe, and whispered, "And then, Yui-chan said she has something she wants to tell you, but she's a little shy, so she asked me to come with her."
At the end, Akane nudged the dazed and silent Yui standing nearby, who occasionally glanced at Hikari with a blushing face.
Akane urged her friend, "Yui-chan, what was it you wanted to say to Hikari-kun? Come on, don't stall."
Hikari turned his gaze to Tachibana Yui.
And although Yui was clearly still nervous, she quickly opened her mouth and said, "Thank you so much, Hikari-kun, for helping me so many times. I really want to repay your kindness. This… This is breakfast I bought for you. I hope you'll accept it."
"And… I originally planned to make it myself, but I was in a rush this morning and didn't have time. If Hikari-kun doesn't mind, next time I'd like to cook for you myself, as a way of expressing my thanks."
Hikari saw Yui bow her head deeply, raising the breakfast box in her hands high, speaking sincerely.
He slightly turned his head and saw Akane smiling with squinting eyes, watching him and Yui.
That curled mouth and the excitement in her eyes made Hikari a little speechless.
Others unfamiliar with Akane might not realize it, might even think she was angry or upset about her bestie hitting on her boyfriend, but Hikari, who knew her well, could tell at a glance.
That look in Akane's eyes wasn't pure at all. More like she was hoping he'd quickly take down her best friend Yui, and they'd sleep together under the same covers, besties forever.
For a green-s*ave like Akane, this scene probably had her quite excited.
Although he couldn't test just how excited she was in such a public setting, Hikari could still raise his hand, curl his index finger, and flick her clean forehead.
After disciplining the mischief-making Akane, Hikari finally reached out to take the breakfast from Yui, who was now blushing deeply.
"I got it, Yui-san. Thank you."
Hearing this, Yui quickly shook her head and said, "No, no need to thank me!"
Then, blushing and nervous, she quickly pulled Akane away. After all, giving breakfast to her best friend's boyfriend in front of said friend was just too awkward.
However, Akane turned around and winked at Hikari with a teasing smile.
Seeing Akane flirting back before leaving, Hikari shook his head slightly, then returned to the classroom.
Back at his seat, Hikari opened the breakfast Yui gave him.
Even though he'd already eaten the breakfast Yukino made before leaving, with his now far-surpassing-human body, no amount of extra energy intake was a burden. Even if full, he could store it as reserves for hunting minotaurs later.
But Hikari had barely taken a few bites before another voice called from the window again.
"Hikari-kun!"
Hikari turned his head and saw yet another beauty outside the window staring at him.
But this time it wasn't one of those girls like Akane or Yui, it was a mature and beautiful onee-san.
This blonde onee-san wore a teacher's white blouse on her upper body, her full figure pushing the buttons tight, as if they'd pop any second.
Her lower half was a matching pencil skirt, her voluptuous thighs wrapped in black stockings.
Looking front-heavy and back-curvy, full and enticing.
Such a beautiful female teacher, with blond hair, taking the initiative to greet him sweetly, naturally, it could only be one person.
"Good morning, Shirakawa-sensei."
Hikari smiled and greeted the beautiful Shirakawa Miwa outside the window.
"Good morning, you. Just a high school student, yet two beautiful girls show up early in the morning to bring you breakfast. Not bad, tsk tsk…"
"And to think I even specially brought breakfast for you, planning to call you to the office to eat together."
"Now it looks like I'd be better off feeding it to a stray dog. Some people clearly don't lack for one more meal."
Shirakawa Miwa pouted and grumbled toward Hikari.
Though her tone was calm and casual, as if having a normal conversation, the resentment in her words and the coquettish anger on her face were practically overflowing.
Hikari immediately smiled and said, "How could that be? Shirakawa-sensei, you brought breakfast for me too? Thank you so much. Your taste really suits mine. Come on, let's go eat at your desk."
"Then get over here, quick."
