Delinquent and Noble scum

Ryuji closed his eyes, listening to the heartbeats of the two women in his arms. He felt a sense of calm whenever Yumiko came close. Maybe at first, he thought it might be because of the calamity star being shared between them.

However... he felt the same calm from Erika—her scent, warmth, and feeling made him feel at peace.

Alan looked over and noticed Ryuji looking at him with a strange smile as he mouthed the words. "You look like a moron." 

Ryuji just stroked the arms of Yumiko and Erika, holding them tight, unphased by the words of Alan. Instead, he responded with the first genuine smile Alan saw on Ryuji's face. 

"I will never let anyone harm them." 

The moment he mouthed these words, Alan's body trembled as the entire carriage felt as if something smothered it with a strange power. 

'No matter who they might be, I will crush anyone that seeks to harm these women.'
