"Really suits your personality, huh? You're so afraid that you'll hurt the people around you?"
Looking at the message in his hand and the girl who had turned around and left, Nakano Yu sighed and waved his hand. Against the sunset, the pale crescent moon suddenly shone with moonlight.
The moonlight passed over Nakano Yu and Eucliwood, causing Eucliwood to instantly become vigilant.
The girl's beautiful eyes were fixed on Nakano Yu, while her aura resisted the moonlight.
Eucliwood was not a fool; in the Underworld, she had still been the Necromancer of the Seventh Abyss. At that time, she could still control her power, but... some unfortunate things happened, causing the power within her to erupt to the point where even she herself resisted her own strength.
Because of that, various factions from the Underworld also hunted her for that power. Eucliwood naturally understood that human hearts were unpredictable, but... she did not expect that even this gentle young man before her would be that kind of person.
Thinking about that, Eucliwood could not help but tighten her grip on the enormous scythe in her hand, while a feeling of pressure appeared in her heart.
She could sense the power within Nakano Yu; it was absolutely no weaker than hers, even surpassing it, and that power was much more stable than her own.
Earlier, when Nakano Yu told her that he could help solve her problem, Eucliwood did not believe him. After all, she understood her own power, and at the time she assumed that the young man was most likely targeting her power.
"You cannot resist. Come with me."
Looking at the vigilant Eucliwood, Nakano Yu could feel that she was resisting his authority, but the power of authority was all-encompassing and irresistible. If he had to describe it, it was like the "Gaze of Destiny"; unless there existed a stronger authority capable of opposing it.
Clenching her teeth, Eucliwood looked at Nakano Yu. She did not understand why she could not sense any hostile intent from the young man. His current behavior clearly had a strong purpose, but... why?
Why was he not showing any intention to harm her?
Sensing the strange emotions in Eucliwood's eyes, Nakano Yu helplessly sighed and explained:
"I can help you solve the problem with your magical power. As for what I want... if possible, your power~"
After Nakano Yu finished speaking, he snapped his fingers. The moonlight became stronger, and the very next second, Nakano Yu and Eucliwood suddenly appeared in front of the entrance to the Nakano family villa.
Sensing the sudden change in surroundings, Eucliwood looked somewhat shocked.
Just moments ago, she had been extremely vigilant, even considering removing the "Silence Restraint" from herself. That black-gray armor had been specially found to suppress the uncontrollable power within her, serving as self-imposed shackles.
But even so, her power was enormous. In front of Nakano Yu, she should not have been so completely incapable of resisting his teleportation magic, right?
"Come with me. You cannot escape."
Nakano Yu glanced at Eucliwood, then raised his hand and summoned the Wind to open the large gate before leading Eucliwood inside.
Seeing Nakano Yu behave like this, Eucliwood pressed her lips together. She worried that if she followed him, she would bring him trouble, but if she left... she felt that the possibility of success was not high.
After all, when Nakano Yu had just used teleportation magic, she had absolutely no ability to resist it. Someone who controlled such powerful teleportation magic and could control the Wind would be very troublesome and extremely difficult to shake off.
Hesitating, Eucliwood followed Nakano Yu's footsteps, then once again took out her small notebook, wrote something, and handed it to Nakano Yu.
Noticing the girl behind him pushing a message into his hand, Nakano Yu raised it and saw the question written on it:
"Why are you helping me?"
Looking at the question on the paper, Nakano Yu smiled and turned around to say:
"Because I desire your body."
"..."
Silence.
The silver-haired girl calmly looked at Nakano Yu, without any intention of speaking or writing in her notebook. She only looked at the young man, without reaction.
Feeling the air gradually stiffen, Nakano Yu awkwardly touched the tip of his nose as well.
At first, he had actually intended to lighten the atmosphere between himself and Eucliwood a little. Although he had just said that he was targeting Eucliwood's power, that had merely been Nakano Yu's own thought; after all, he truly did not possess the ability to steal someone else's power.
Secondly, Eucliwood did not believe him. Nakano Yu realized that the moment the girl was willing to follow him inside and asked him why.
Indeed, Eucliwood did not think Nakano Yu was targeting her power. She could sense that Nakano Yu was an extremely powerful being, with strength that was not inferior to her own. Such an existence should not need her power, so he definitely had other intentions.
What Eucliwood did not expect was that Nakano Yu would actually...
"Just kidding. Hurry inside, it's just in time for dinner."
Turning around, Nakano Yu quickened his pace, using dinner to divert attention away from the current awkward topic.
Seeing this, a trace of a smile passed through Eucliwood's eyes, although her expression remained blank, like a lifeless porcelain doll.
Because of the magical power within her, even the slightest emotional change would cause that magical power to go berserk out of control.
Coming back to herself, Eucliwood saw that Nakano Yu had already opened the door and entered inside. Without hesitation, she followed after him.
After entering the villa, the two of them changed into house slippers at the entrance before arriving at the living room.
The moment they entered the living room, Ichika's weak voice could be heard:
"Math... hehe, so many, so many X's..."
"Why is 1+3X divided by 2 equal to zero?!"
Immediately afterward, Yotsuba's voice full of despair could be heard.
Hearing that, the corner of Nakano Yu's mouth twitched. He immediately knew that Reina had assigned homework to the Quintuplets. The Quintuplets usually finished their school homework at school because they could copy the answers there, but at home that was not safe.
Naturally, Nakano Reina would not have known this, but on one occasion Nakano Reina discovered that the Quintuplets did not have homework after returning home. When she curiously asked about it, she learned about their "good habit" of finishing homework at school.
At that time, Reina praised the Quintuplets for a while, then smiled as she prepared extra homework for them.
Thinking about it, the Quintuplets were actually quite pitiful.
"Yu!!! Save me!!!"
At that moment, Ichika, whose head was spinning from the homework, noticed Nakano Yu. She immediately jumped off the sofa, shouting as she threw herself into Nakano Yu's embrace, her two white legs like lotus roots tightly wrapping around the young man like snakes.
To Ichika, Nakano Yu was now a savior. After all, if she did not understand Chinese, she could still make something up, but if she did not understand math, then she truly did not understand. Even when she searched for answers online, the answers she found were often wrong.
"Ichika, get down first."
Holding the girl in his arms, Nakano Yu patted Ichika's back and quietly said.
Hearing that, Ichika obediently loosened the legs wrapped around Nakano Yu. As soon as she landed on the floor, her beautiful eyes suddenly noticed the girl standing behind Nakano Yu.
Ichika looked at Eucliwood, whom she did not recognize, then glanced at Nakano Yu, before seriously saying:
"Yu, if you keep doing this, even we might decide to report you."
