Returnee from Another World - Zetro Translation

Chapter 50 – Aura of Jealousy

Shoko sat heavily on a cushion, glaring at me with provocative eyes from across the room.

After the commotion at the entrance, Shoko showed no sign of leaving, and Yukari was clearly on the verge of losing her temper. Yukari’s changed feelings toward Shoko might play a part, but Shoko’s attitude, bad-mouthing me, was likely what Yukari couldn’t stand.

I’d warned her enough. I didn’t think Yukari would get physical, but letting the situation spiral further wasn’t ideal. To keep things from escalating, we needed to handle this calmly. However, every time Yukari defended me, Shoko seemed to see me as more of a villain. In that world, I could’ve eliminated or intimidated such a nuisance, but here, I wanted to avoid such measures. Reluctantly, I suggested inviting Shoko inside to talk, almost sighing at how the roles felt reversed from when Yukari stormed the Gospel Love Church.

“Shoko, you got a problem with the guy I chose?” Yukari snapped.

“If you seemed normal, I wouldn’t be saying this,” Shoko replied.

“Huh? You saying I’m crazy or something?” Yukari shot back.

“Yeah. You don’t seem like the usual Yukari-san,” Shoko said.

“How am I different? You’re just assuming I should be a certain way, aren’t you?” Yukari argued.

“You always said you weren’t interested in dating. And that letting a guy into your place without being married makes you a loose woman,” Shoko countered.

“That’s because I fell hard for Sienna. I just hadn’t met the right guy before. I get it, after all my big talk, this looks pathetic to you. But love’s like that, isn’t it?” Yukari said.

“Ugh… Then why’d you give up on bringing Miki back so easily? Did you change your mind about that too? That’s not like you,” Shoko pressed.

“I told you, I respected Miki’s choice. It’s about love, not something for outsiders to judge. She’s old enough to be married anyway,” Yukari said.

“You said you’d drag Miki out of that cult by the neck if you had to,” Shoko retorted.

Neither was backing down, and Shoko had no intention of giving up on convincing Yukari. I could understand why Shoko found Yukari’s change so hard to accept, but their circular argument was starting to wear on me. Yukari’s face showed her growing irritation too.

“I’m not getting through to you, am I? What now, Sienna? Should I throw her out?” Yukari asked.

“At this rate, she’ll just make a scene outside,” I replied.

“Ugh… Should I just make her my servant? That’d shut her up, right?” Yukari said.

Despite Shoko’s presence, Yukari blurted that out. I’d considered it myself—having Yukari bite Shoko to make her a servant, a thrall. But Lesser Vampires can’t turn others into vampires. If Yukari bit Shoko, she’d remain human, just sworn to Yukari’s loyalty. The extent of that loyalty was unclear, but it’d likely be better than this. It’d be similar to my bond with Yukari, except Shoko would stay human, forced to live as Yukari’s servant while retaining human emotions. I didn’t care to moralize about that, only whether making Shoko a servant would cause issues.

“That’s true, but you understand what that means, right?” I asked.

“Yeah, you explained it plenty,” Yukari said.

“Once you make her a servant, you’re responsible for her forever,” I warned.

“I’m fine with that. What do you think, Sienna? She’s supposedly still a virgin. If you’re interested in her body, we could make her our toy,” Yukari said.

“What? A toy? Yukari-san, what are you saying?” Shoko gasped.

“You want that, don’t you? Don’t worry, we’ll take good care of you,” Yukari teased.

“Yukari-san, you’ve seriously lost it…” Shoko muttered.

“I know you’re not just mad about Miki. You’re in love with me and jealous of Sienna,” Yukari said.

Yukari’s blunt words made Shoko’s face flush red.

“That’s not true!” Shoko protested.

“Deny it all you want. I’ve known for ages you’ve had those feelings for me,” Yukari said.

“Even if that’s true, that’s a separate issue!” Shoko insisted.

“What, you hate the idea of me touching you that much? Guess I’m not wanted,” Yukari said.

“N-no, it’s not… Yukari-san, we don’t need to talk about this now,” Shoko stammered.

“It’s what’s really bothering you, isn’t it? Sorry, Sienna. That’s why she’s being such a pain,” Yukari said.

I’d already noticed. Shoko’s black [Jealousy] aura, hidden behind [Disgust], and the constant pink [Love] and [Lust] directed at Yukari were obvious to me. Her anger at Yukari was misplaced. If she cared about Miki, she could’ve gone to the Gospel Love Church herself to bring her back. Blaming Yukari was just a pretext to hide her feelings.

“No helping it. Since it’s come to this, we can’t just let Shoko-san leave. But, Yukari-san, you need to watch what you say,” I said.

“Sorry. But if we let her go, she’ll blab to her friends, and that’d be a hassle for you, right, Sienna?” Yukari replied.

“That’s true… Yeah, maybe that’s the best way to handle Shoko-san,” I admitted.

Yukari’s point left me speechless. I’d even considered using the Aphrodisiac I gave Miki to silence Shoko, but that risked Yukari realizing my lies. I couldn’t predict how she’d react, so I’d held off. I hadn’t expected Yukari to suggest something similar.

“Yukari-san…” Shoko said, voice trembling.

“I’m saying I’ll take care of your feelings. Not a bad deal, right?” Yukari said.

Yukari’s cold, condescending tone brought a shocked expression to Shoko’s face. But I saw purple [Surprise] mixed with yellow [Expectation] in her aura. Shoko knew what was coming. Yukari was inching closer on her knees, yet Shoko didn’t try to escape, her aura confirming what was obvious even without it.

As I pondered this, Yukari pinned Shoko down with little resistance, pressing her body over her.

“Yah!” Shoko let out a short cry, a mix of refusal and shame, as Yukari pushed her down.

But Yukari’s lips quickly silenced her.

Their size difference was stark. With Yukari, a Lesser Vampire, pinning her from above, a woman like Shoko had no chance of breaking free. Shoko’s token resistance was futile as Yukari grabbed her arms, holding them down. Her mouth, sealed by Yukari’s lips, couldn’t cry out. Yukari’s caressing kisses forcibly quieted her.

I watched silently from the side. Honestly, I might’ve enjoyed seeing Shoko’s defiant eyes soften under Yukari’s kisses. It stirred a faint echo of the barbaric thrill I felt in that world.

“Nn… ah… n-no, Yukari-san, stop…” Shoko murmured.

“Ch… Sienna, avoid the neck or visible spots, right?” Yukari asked.

“Yes. Unlike us, her wounds won’t heal instantly. Stick to places hidden by clothes,” I advised.

“So, the chest is good?” Yukari asked.

“Anywhere clothing covers is fine. Just don’t suck too much blood. A bite’s enough,” I said.

“Got it,” Yukari replied.

I wasn’t sure if Shoko heard our exchange. Her face, flushed from Yukari’s kisses, looked dazed. To free her right hand, Yukari shifted Shoko’s arms above her head, pinning them with one hand. But that might’ve been unnecessary—Shoko’s aura, now mostly yellow and pink, showed her weak protests were just for show.

Yukari lifted Shoko’s raglan-sleeve T-shirt, adorned with a cute devil print, revealing large breasts that seemed disproportionate to her slender frame, barely contained by white underwear.

“Wait, Yukari-san, no, really, I didn’t mean…” Shoko pleaded.

“Sorry, whether you meant it or not doesn’t matter anymore. You’re mine now. That’s settled,” Yukari said.

“Then at least when we’re alone…” Shoko begged.

“You’re stubborn. After this, you’ll get fucked by Sienna’s cock and become his woman. Get ready,” Yukari said.

“No! I’m fine with whatever you do to me, Yukari-san, but that’s too much,” Shoko protested.

“You love me, right? I don’t hate you either. I just happen to love Sienna a bit more. So why not enjoy it together, the three of us?” Yukari said.

“That’s…” Shoko faltered.

As Yukari sweet-talked her with half-truths, she slipped her right hand into Shoko’s bra. The exposed mounds, with pink nipples standing erect, seemed to reflect Shoko’s feelings.

“Ah!” Shoko gasped as Yukari licked her nipple, her hips twitching with pleasure.

She seemed to have accepted being Yukari’s toy. Despite the forced situation, a hint of a lover’s expression crossed Shoko’s face, directed at Yukari’s teasing.

“Heh, Shoko, you’re pretty sensitive. This’ll be fun,” Yukari said.

With that, Yukari opened her mouth wide and bit down hard on Shoko’s chest before my eyes.
