"DXD: Multiverse Journey"Chapter 250: A Date with Kurumi, Massacring the Single Dogs
"Spirit wave readings for Kaguya, Miku, Yoshino, Nia, and Yuzuru have dropped," the report chimed.
"The day after tomorrow, it's the Commander's turn to go on a date with Nangong-kun. Commander, how's your planning coming along?"
Kotori could feel everyone's eyes on her. Her cheeks burned, and her heartbeat skipped. She tried to look unfazed, but her grip on the command chair tightened.
"Ahem! We're all dying to know where the Commander will take her date—so much so, we've started a betting pool!" Kannazuki announced, stroking his chin with far too much enthusiasm.
Kotori spun around in her chair, glaring daggers. The nerve—gambling on her love life, and right in front of her!
"Don't just gamble on people's private business! Shut that nonsense down, now!"
With a swift, practiced motion, she landed a sharp kick to Kannazuki's shin.
"Thank you for the Commander's righteous discipline~! I understand completely," he yelped, clutching his leg, but the twinkle in his eye said he'd do it all again.
...
A new day, a new beginning.
Time ticked on, but Shuo Nangong was in no hurry. He sat in a quiet café, coffee in hand, watching the world go by.
At precisely nine o'clock, the door swung open. In walked a girl dressed in pure black—a dress that hugged her just right, sheer black stockings accentuating flawless legs, and a waterfall of inky hair cascading over her shoulders.
Kurumi Tokisaki. There was no mistaking her.
Her wine-red eyes swept the room, locking onto Shuo by the window. With a subtle sway of her hips and a flash of those long legs, she glided over to his table.
"Ara, ara. Sorry to keep you waiting, Shuo-chan. I'm afraid I'm a little late~"
"Not at all. You're perfectly on time, Kurumi. I just got here early. Please, have a seat."
He smiled, gesturing to the chair beside him. Kurumi smoothed her skirt and sat, her every move effortlessly elegant.
"So, what's the plan for today's date? I have to admit, I'm curious," Shuo asked, setting down his coffee and turning to her with genuine interest.
Kurumi's lips curled into a mischievous smile. "Ara, Shuo-chan is so impatient. If you insist, I'll be honest—I didn't make any plans at all. Today, I want you to show me what a real couple's date is like."
The answer caught him off guard. He'd run through a dozen possible scenarios in his head, but Kurumi tossing out the script entirely? That, he hadn't seen coming.
"You're not joking, are you, Kurumi?"
"Not at all. You heard me right—I want you to take the lead and let me experience the fun of dating."
Her gaze sparkled with playful challenge, and then—without warning—she leaned in, her breath warm against his ear.
"And if you manage to impress me, I might just reward you with a little something extra, Shuo-chan~"
The words sent a jolt through him. He shot to his feet, offering her his hand with knightly flourish.
"No problem. Today, let me be your guardian knight, Kurumi."
Kurumi giggled, covering her mouth as she winked. "Then I'll entrust myself to you, my gallant knight."
"Leave everything to me, Princess Kurumi."
Their hands met—soft, warm, a silent promise passing between them. Shuo's confidence was unshakable. With Kurumi's "reward" on the line, he was determined—come hell, high water, or divine intervention, he wasn't backing down.
A short taxi ride later, the two arrived at the gates of a bustling amusement park.
Shuo helped Kurumi out of the car, offering his arm. "Ready to start our adventure, Kurumi?"
She nodded, a rare hint of excitement flashing in her eyes. For a Spirit who rarely got to play at being a normal girl, an amusement park was almost magical.
Stepping inside, they were greeted by the towering Ferris wheel turning slowly in the distance, each carriage holding a pair of love-struck silhouettes. The park was packed—weekend crowds, mostly young couples, the air buzzing with laughter and the faint scent of popcorn.
But as soon as Shuo and Kurumi entered, heads turned. Their looks alone would've been enough to draw stares, but Kurumi—dressed in that midnight-black dress, legs long and elegant—became the instant center of gravity. Eyes followed her everywhere.
Shuo could feel the weight of a hundred jealous stares. Every guy in the park seemed to be sizing him up, their envy practically radiating off them.
And the girlfriends? The moment they caught their boyfriends sneaking glances at Kurumi, chaos erupted. Girls could ogle handsome guys all they wanted, but the second their man's eyes wandered? All bets were off.
What, you want to argue with your girlfriend? Good luck. In the law of the amusement park, her word is gospel.
All around, the universal girlfriend skill was deployed: a swift, merciless twist to the boyfriend's waist—360 degrees, no mercy.
Within moments, the air was filled with the wails of the defeated. Shuo even spotted a few middle-aged men getting their ears twisted and dragged away by their wives.
He couldn't help but marvel. Men really are the most loyal creatures on earth. Whether you're eight or eighty, the type you like never changes: beautiful girls.
He turned to Kurumi with an exaggerated sigh. "Kurumi-chan, dating you is seriously high-pressure. Did you see those guys? I think a few of them were ready to eat me alive."
Kurumi giggled, a sly smile tugging at her lips. "Oh, Shuo-chan, always teasing me. It's not that bad, is it?"
She knew exactly what he was doing—girls never tired of hearing they were beautiful, and Kurumi was no exception. The compliment left her beaming, a rare, genuine smile lighting up her face.
They reached the ticket booth, bought two passes, and finally—finally—Shuo could breathe easy. Sure, it felt great to have the whole world envy him for his stunning date, but being the target of so many death glares was exhausting.
Inside, the crowds thickened. Couples everywhere—feeding each other snacks, snapping selfies, clinging together, making out with zero shame. It was a paradise for lovers…and absolute hell for the single.
If you ever wanted to punish your best friend, just bring your girlfriend and invite your single buddy to the amusement park. Lure the dog in, close the gates, and let the slaughter begin.
This was a level of emotional damage no single person could possibly survive.
