Chapter 150: Love Declared

Walking down the stairs while carrying a freshly cleaned Yuki, I approach the living room and gently set her back down on the couch, which I had cleaned to the best of my ability given the short amount of time I had, though it still needed a thorough cleaning; however, that can be worried about later, when there wasn't the threat of a dungeon rampage happening.

"Feel better now, Yuki?" Asked Alexander gently as he squatted down beside Yuki, gently rubbing her head, causing her to nod softly.

"Y-Yes. My health had started to improve t-the moment you arrived." Replied Yuki lightly with signs of strength as she looked at Alexander, who smiled.

"Haa, that's good. Anyways, are you hungry or anything? I've got to do something, but I can make you lunch real quick if need be." Said Alexander with a smile as he sighed in relief before standing up and dusting his hands off while glancing down at Yuki, only to look around, searching for a specific brown bird.

"Um, n-no. I-I'm good." Said Yuki softly with a shake of her head as she faintly smiled while patting her stomach, causing Alexander to nod.

"Alright, well, I was going to go leave the house again, but since your condition seemed to be constantly changing, I'll be staying for now; just call me if you need anything; I don't want you moving around too much, especially since you still might be a little dehydrated." Remarked Alexander with a nod as he folded his arms and looked at Yuki, who was staring back at him, causing the atmosphere to quickly turn weird.

"A-Alex, t-there i-" Stated Yuki as she looked away, clenching her fist while her heart rapidly beat in fear, though she was promptly cut off as a pair of lips stole her breath.

"S-Sorry, y-you looked too beautiful, so I couldn't help myself. W-What were you going to say?" Said Alexander awkwardly as he quickly separated his lips from Yuki's while looking away, though his words caused her to blush softly.

"B-Beautiful? O-Only, my Mother has called me beautiful." Muttered Yuki with a deep reddish blush atop her blue skin, causing her cheeks to take on a faint purplish tint while Alexander nodded.

"Y-Yeah, you're not the typical sense of beauty compared to most women, considering your large, muscular, intimidating appearance, but that in itself is quite beautiful. Especially since beneath all that muscle is just a soft, gluttonous yet lovable Oni." Stated Alexander earnestly with a lovely smile as he leaned down and gently tapped Yuki's chest, right where her heart was, though her massive breasts were in the way.

Seeing Yuki just stare at me with those lovely yet piercing yellow eyes was something else; it nearly gave me the same feeling whenever Master looked at me and when I looked at her. It was the mutual feeling of love and affection we held between each other.

'Heh, I guess I really do love Yuki.' Thought Alexander softly as he gently trailed his hand across Yuki's cheek while staring deeply into her eyes.

I knew I should start packing things of necessity, but as I stared at Yuki's beautiful face and those lovely lips of hers, I couldn't help myself, and the next I knew, I was leaning over her breasts and passionately kissing her. Her overgrown fangs kind of got in the way since they would constantly poke my gums, and it was sort of uncomfortable, but even so, I wouldn't have changed a thing about it; I actually found her overgrown fangs to be quite adorable.

I don't know how long we kissed, but when I felt her constantly patting me back, I reluctantly separated my lips from hers as she began to gasp deeply for air with blush cheeks while she looked at me with cloudly and slightly hazy eyes, which carried within them a bit of lust.

"A-Alex, I-I need to-" Said Yuki solemnly in between her uneven breathing as she looked at Alexander, who simply placed his finger over her lips, shutting her mouth.

"I already know you have something on your mind that's preventing you from fully accepting… Our relationship. Just know that I love you, Yuki, and I don't really care what's on your mind if I'm being honest; it's not going to be enough to stop me from developing our relationship." Stated Alexander sternly as he stared into Yuki's eyes, which began to tear up slightly, only for her to shake her head.

"I-I-I l-love you too, A-Alex. I-It's just-" Remarked Yuki lightly as she blushed while affectionately holding Alexander's hand, only for him to interrupt again, which was starting to irritate her.

"Did you not just listen to me? I said I don't care; however, if it bothers you so much, I'll gladly listen to you. But not right now, Yuki; I had just returned from the 15th floor of the dungeon, and the legendary dungeon is taking over the Graveyard dungeon, and once that happens…" Declared Alexander with furrowed brows as he gazed at the slightly annoyed Yuki, only to shake his head while his expression turned serve, causing her eyes to widen slightly.

"…Dungeon Rampage." Muttered Yuki softly as she finished Alexander's sentence while looking up with an unsightly expression, causing him to sigh and nod.

"Haa, yes; once the Graveyard dungeon is fully fused with the other dungeon, a rampage will begin; after all, I can't imagine how many monsters there must be within that legendary dungeon after going unintended for centuries. Let alone fight them, we couldn't even escape from a single monster." Said Alexander with an ugly expression while tightly holding Yuki's hand, only for her to grab her head in sudden pain, startling him.

"Yuki, y-you okay?" Asked Alexander in concern as he quickly propped Yuki's head with his hand while her breathing got slightly worse.

"Y-Yeah, I-I j-just remembered about that d-dungeon, t-that's all." Replied Yuki with a slow nod as she closed her eyes, only for the image of Alexander's corpse to appear within her mind several along with the scene of herself decapitating him, worsening her condition even more.

Watching Yuki's condition continue to worsen, I quickly cradled her in a hug, trying my best to soothe her.

"I'm right here, Yuki, I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere, see? I'm right in front of you." Muttered Alexander softly while grabbing Yuki's hand and gently touching his face, which helped calm her down as she returned to normal after a few minutes.

"T-Thanks." Said Yuki weakly as she looked up at Alexander, who lightly smiled before kissing her cheek.

"Of course; now, rest and recuperate; don't worry about anything. I'll take care of it." Stated Alexander softly as he gently placed Yuki back onto the couch before standing up and walking away, prompting her to nod while closing her eyes.

Gently shaking my head, I left the living room and headed towards the kitchen, hoping to find Talis, who wasn't there, but the back door was open, and surprisingly, she was in the backyard, watching a group of ants.

"Talis, what are you doing?" Asked Alexander as he gave Talis a weird look, though she simply shrugged her wings before walking towards him, looking very adorable while doing so.

"Nothing, I was just waiting for you to return after bathing Yuki. Have you mated with her as well?" Replied Talis lightly as she looked up at Alexander before tilting her head to the side curiously, causing his face to constantly twitch while he opted not to punt her like a football.

"No, I haven't mated with Yuki; besides, why would you even think that?" Remarked Alexander, shaking his head as he reached down, prompting Talis to leap onto his arm before he entered the house.

"Well, you used to bathe with Mrs. Lavender, and you also mated with her." Replied Talis as she spread her wings, hitting Alexander in the face while he just sighed.

"I understand the connection, but, no, at least not yet. Speaking of mates, what about you, Talis?" Asked Alexander as he carefully passed the living room before heading upstairs.

"Mate? Eh, I've done it, but I don't get what the point of mating is if it's not for birthing offspring; it's just a waste of time; I'd rather spend it flying around." Remarked Talis lightly as she hopped off Alexander's shoulder and landed on his bed when he entered their room.

"Eh? You've had sex? When did this happen?" Asked Alexander in slight surprise as he glanced at Talis before opening his wardrobe, grabbing all his clothes, and tossing them onto the bed as he started packing.

"Shortly after we arrived in Hyphen, for some reason, I had a powerful urge to mate for a few weeks, which is weird since it's never happened before. Anyway, after I mated with a few random birds, it went away, and then I stopped; I thought it would feel good since you and Mrs. Lavender always say it felt amazing, but it was boring." Declared Talis blandly as she lowered herself onto her hanging nest while watching Alexander packing his things.

"I had even found a weak Windeagle and forced him to mate with me, figuring the birds I mated with previously didn't have a big enough cock since yours is massive, but even so, it wasn't pleasurable." Added Talis lightly as she glanced at Alexander's crotch before closing her eyes while he froze and just blankly stared at her.

'My goodness, to think my best friend is a rapist; well, I suppose it is the law of the jungle. I just hope she doesn't get raped, but at least on the bright side, if it happens, she won't care, so I guess that's good. Sort of. Not really.' Thought Alexander as he shook his head before sighing while eyeing Talis, looking at her in a whole new light.
