“Orah! Yuugo!! How dare you!!”
“Gyaaaaaaaaaah!? Ah! I give up! Stooop!!”
Yuugo left Neries with Peewee and Precia and moved away, but ended up on the receiving end of An’s punishment, who came to repair the door.
He yelled while locked in a pro wrestling move, looking very different than when he was smoothly talking before, and Angel complained with an angry expression.
“Tuning your Blaster is digging into my sleep time…! And you’re telling me to fix a door because you broke it? Just making more work for me, you idiot!!”
“Gueeeh! No An! I didn’t break it! Ryuuga did! Tell that to Ryuuga!”
“Angel stop! My big brother will die!!”
Yuugo received merciless punishment, but it was also a reward in a way, as her fine bottom and chest pressed against him a lot. Not that he was in a position to enjoy the weight and softness.
Phi was flustered as he watched, and the main cause, Ryuuga, elegantly had tea and took a breather.
As he acted as though it did not concern him, the friends that heard about it and gathered spoke.
“Ryuuga? Shouldn’t you help Yuugo?”
“Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do. I’m sorry, but Yuugo just has to bear it.”
“…Weren’t you the one who broke Neries’ door?”
“Well, I was already punished by Angel for that.”
“Eh!? S-she clung to you and put you in a move like that?”
“No. She blew me away with her hammer. Unlike Yuugo, my punishment ended in a second.”
“But it’s actually amazing that you’re completely fine…”
The friends’ faces showed they were lost between impressed and exasperated.
Only Setsuna’s expression remained the same, as she sighed a little.
“Would it be strange to say this isn’t like you? I didn’t think you were so short tempered.”
“No, my big brother is very short tempered. Isn’t that what his pet phrase, ‘don’t ask me questions’ is all about?”
“““Ahh…!!”””
They all saw Ryuuga’s silent and mild side, but were reminded by Yui that he was actually like ‘that’.
They all made a sound as they nodded deeply, and Ryuuga cleared his throat.
“…It’s not like I did that because I was furious. I thought I had to use drastic measures for her to open her heart.”
Said Ryuuga, followed by another sip of tea.
Meanwhile, Yuugo was still in Angel’s hold.
His partner’s screams echoed, as Ryuuga spoke quietly about the real intentions behind his move.
“Negative emotions and loneliness go hand-in-hand. If one doesn’t spit it out to someone, they continue swelling in an ugly way the more one holds on to them alone. So I had to force her to face someone.”
“…That sounds very real.”
“Yes. Did you forget? The man in front of you held on to his negative emotions until they became murderous.”
Said Ryuuga with a coldness to his voice.
He dealt with negative emotions more than anyone there, and knew how dangerous they were… At the same time, they understood he knew how to deal with them.
“It didn’t matter how, if I created a chance for her to speak with Yuugo, he would make it work. He would sympathize with Neries and the darkness in her heart and negative emotions. I did what I did to help.”
It was a little… A lot forceful, but at that rate, they would not have a chance to talk to Neries.
Breaking the door was not exactly warranted, but there was meaning to what he did.
Also, he took the brunt of Neries’ fear and distrust and tagged in Yuugo, so it was a nice way to assist.
As he expected, Yuugo got Neries’ true feelings out of her, so his violent actions could be somewhat understood.
“An is basically just fooling around with Yuugo while relieving stress from work. It would be a disservice towards her for me to intervene.”
“…Big brother, did you know it would all play out like this?”
“Not perfectly, but… At the very least, I knew she would be all right if she faced Yuugo.”
“You really trust him.”
“Of course. He’s the guy who broke me free from the past when I was going to sacrifice everything for revenge. I believe he can save Neries’ heart.”
Ryuuga heard his sister ask if he predicted everything would be settled, or if it would all go well, and lightly nodded.
He said that with a soft smile on his face and a lot more feeling in his voice, and he continued.
