With great powers, comes a great harem! - Chapter 8- Confession!

“So three raiders were able to evacuate whereas three died in the dungeon. The source of how those three were saved is uncertain and so is the identity of the mysterious guy who walked into the dungeon rift when it was in its primal phase…huh…”

The police sirens and the Hunter Association group of staff could be seen around covering the region and actively reaching out to help those who were caught in the crossfire. The dungeon rift was now shut down so the remnants of the beasts who crossed the gate were now in the process of getting transported.

In front of the site where previously chaos ensued, stood a black-haired petite woman with oceanic blue eyes and blue and black blood enhancing her beautiful heart-shaped face. Her eyelashes were long and fluttered like butterfly wings whenever she blinked. Thin yet full lips were unbothered by the fact that there was blood splattered over them. Her long legs and slim figure were complimentary by sharp features which gave her a look of a dominatrix. That intense gaze and the way she talks always keep people on edge yet too enchanting to resist staring at her.

She’s the strongest hunter in Japan and someone who’s in charge of handling the dungeon rift—Rurika Kaede. She wasn’t paid by the government but arrived at the site on her own accord just after she heard of the incident. And when she did, Kaede found patting herself for showing the urgency since even half an hour would have taken hundreds of more innocent lives since the monsters from both the dungeons were advancing at a high place.

She was fluent and terrifying with her sword, and a source of horror for her opponent since once she unsheathes her sword, something has to drop dead or it seems her weapon doesn’t get satisfied.

Apart from her beauty, what she is majorly known for all over the globe is her exceptional sword art and how merciless she tends to be on the battlefield.

“Yes, it is all I have gathered after arriving here, Rurika-san.”

The Chief Investigator from the Japanese Association reported the S-rank hunter since she’s the only person here worthy to know it all. If not for her, who knows how long it would have taken to handle all this mess.

“Hmmm…” It was given that Rurika was uncertain about various things and particularly suspicious of this mysterious entity who walked into the dungeon at that time when it becomes most grave.

Kaede did a quick search and found that all the high-ranking hunters nearby were busy with their jobs so either someone is faking their location or this person is vigilant.

Kaede was leaning toward the second option.

“Gosh! What the heck is this noise?!”

Kaede frowned and nearly shouted those words in agitation as she heard a continuous series of curses and threats arriving from a single direction.

“Apology for that, Rurika-san. He’s the Vice-President of a small guild, Raven. His son was killed in this dungeon.”

Kaede remained silent as she sent a glare toward the fatty, who was persisting for the guarding units to disperse as he himself wanted to ask something Rurika. Finding her gaze, the blob didnt falter and began shouting at her directly.

“You useless bitch!! My son died because you were fucking around with dogs in heat, you slut!! I hope your family drops dead the very next moment you see them-khak!!”

The middle-aged man was not able to continue his curses as suddenly he found himself floating three feet above the ground with his throat currently caged in something extremely stiff.

His yellow eyes fell on the dead oceanic ones before the man felt sweat dripping down his back.

“You have been yapping since forever now. Slitting your throat here would cost me nothing but can you afford to lose your life just because you weren’t able to take your brat’s death?”

The face of the middle-aged man paled eventually before Kaede dropped him to the ground.

This was something that can be called a real threat—the guards around the perimeter mutually acknowledged.

Despite she silenced the irritating old man, Kaede herself was perplexed by the situation. She inspected the dungeon and found no strong evidence to determine what kind of attacks or weapons the mysterious being used.

There was indeed proof that some third party has interfered since the team assigned to the dungeon would not have been able to cause so many deaths of those mutant toads all by themselves.

From her perspective, the said person is at least near the peak of B-rank or maybe A since the cuts and slashes on the frogs were not so accurate but the power infused behind the assault was impressive. Along with that, the said person is agile enough to fool the surveillance.

‘Interesting…I hope this specimen doesn’t disappoint…..”

[Yuki’s POV:]

“Sorry, Shio. After tiring you out like that, I now have to send you home as well. ”

I have already apologized over thrice now but still felt guilty for my brash action. There is another way of turning someone into a slave and that was to feed them with my blood…and I just pretended to be ignorant about it.

Yeah…I am the prime example of a beast in heat.

Since Shio’s parents were in distress due to her absence, it would be appropriate for her to return as soon as she could. Shio looked quite tired and wanted to sleep in, but I insisted.

“It’s okay, Yuki-kun. You don’t have to apologize. Rather I am happy to see how you are so considerate toward my parents. ”

She smiled albeit a little weakly as we walked on the street leading toward her home. She’s so tired that I carried her all the way here before dropping her near her house or maybe her neighbors might have seen us in that compromising pose.

“Well, of course, I would be mindful of them. After all, they are the parents of my girlfriend…”

“Eh? ”

Shio’s feet came to an abrupt halt before I raised my brows and looked in her direction.

“W-W-W-W-We are d-d-da-dat-dating? ”

I narrowed my gaze at the query before asking,” Wait, don’t tell me, after enjoying my body you are now fed up with me. ”

Her expression shifted from being flustered to shocked before she vigorously shook her head and said firmly, “Definitely not! I won’t do such a thing to Yuki-kun ever! ”

“So you will do that to someone else?”

“Ah, no. I won’t. Of course, not! Wait, Yuki-kun?! Why are laughing? Mou, stop teasing me! ”

She jabbed my shoulder with some strong punches but it didn’t hurt as we chuckled in the middle of the street.

Soon the laugh died down as we both stood facing each other. Her eyes still held the exhaustion but the gleam of elation couldn’t have been more obvious.

I smiled at the girl, feeling butterflies taking off in my stomach as well. Never thought I would be able to be in a relationship with Shio yet here I was.

My hand slowly made its way toward her left cheek before Shio tilted her head to let her face fall on my palm, as we both continued to look at each other.

There were many moments when I did or say something without thinking or pondering over it. And my following words were perfect examples of that.

“I love you, Shio.”

There was a subtle blush over her ears but the smile which bloomed on her lips told me her answer without even her verbally confirming it.

Though it felt nice hearing it…

“I love you too, Yuki-kun. Since some time now and will always do.”

A/N: – Drop a comment~

There aren’t many readers of the book so I would write until chapter 15 and decide whether it is getting enough audience and whether should I continue or not…
