Chapter 11: The Unexpected Turn of Events

[Ding! The host has interrupted Takahashi the bull's forceful behavior by using a physical attack.]

[Congratulations, host, for earning +100 Pure Love Points!]

The pleasant chime echoed in Hikari Nakamura's mind as Takahashi writhed on the floor, nursing the sharp pain in his face.

Despite the throbbing agony in his cheek, Takahashi scrambled to his feet quickly, unwilling to embarrass himself in front of such a beauty like Yukino Fuka.

He gingerly touched the swollen side of his face, feeling the gap where two teeth had once been. Rage surged through him.

'This punk of a kid have the audacity to knocked my teeths out?'

Glaring at Hikari, whose calm demeanor was unwavering, Takahashi roared, "You damn brat! You actually hit me?"

"You're dead! I'll make sure of it!"

In Takahashi's mind, Hikari was nothing more than a high schooler who had managed to land a cheap shot. There was no way he could stand up to him in a real fight. Fueled by his wounded pride and growing fury, Takahashi clenched his fists and charged toward Hikari, his rage blinding him.

"Watch out!" Yukino cried out in alarm, fear evident in her voice as she saw the manager rush at Hikari. Her instinctive reaction almost caused her powers to surge uncontrollably, as a cold chill briefly filled the air beneath Takahashi's feet.

But before Yukino could intervene, before Takahashi could even land a punch, Hikari's foot lashed out like lightning, slamming into Takahashi's midsection with brutal precision.

BAM!

The impact sent the bulky man hurtling backward once more, crashing into the floor with a thud.

[Ding! The host has decisively countered an attack from Takahashi the bull, interrupting his malicious actions!]

[Congratulations, host, for earning +100 Pure Love Points!]

The sound of the notification rang out in Hikari's mind again as he calmly watched Takahashi lie sprawled out on the ground like a beaten dog.

This time, Takahashi was in no shape to get back up. His stomach churned with unbearable pain, as if his internal organs had been knocked out of place. Hikari's strike had been swift and calculated, sending the much larger man flying with shocking ease.

Despite his imposing figure, Takahashi had been no match for Hikari's swift and powerful kick.

Even Yukino, who had been prepared to use her powers, was left speechless by what she had just witnessed. Her hand slipped from the door handle in her shock, and with a soft clatter, the door swung open completely.

The scene inside her apartment, which had only been partially visible before, was now fully exposed to Hikari's gaze.

Yukino's slim, graceful figure was highlighted by the clothes she wore. Her white sweater, though intended to be loose and comfortable, clung tightly to her form due to her exaggerated breasts, especially around the chest, where it seemed almost impossibly stretched. It was as if two large melons were stuffed inside, making the fabric strain to its limit.

Below, she wore a dark blue pencil skirt that hugged her hips perfectly, with her shapely thighs encased in a black pantyhose. Though she was dressed conservatively, her voluptuous figure made everything look far more seductive than intended.

Even Hikari, who prided himself on his self-control, found his gaze lingering for a moment too long.

'Damn, it's like she walked straight out of a painting... those proportions are unreal.' Hikari thought to himself, quickly averting his eyes before she noticed.

Yukino, oblivious to Hikari's momentary lapse, lowered her head shyly, twisting her fingers together nervously.

"I…"

She seemed about to speak, but before she could finish, a faint clang echoed from across the hallway.

Hikari turned his head to see the door to Shinomiya Natsuha's apartment had opened, and there she stood, her legs pressing against the hem of her freshly changed school uniform, staring blankly at him.

In truth, Natsuha had finished changing her clothes and stepped out right as Hikari and Takahashi's confrontation escalated. She had watched the whole scene unfold, her heart pounding in her chest.

She didn't understand why, but despite her previous role as a disciplinarian at school, someone who hated violence, seeing Hikari knock Takahashi down with a single kick reminded her of when he had kicked Oga Masaru to protect her.

Her heart raced uncontrollably as her eyes fixated on Hikari's legs.

'Wow… he's really strong. Just one kick and he sent that guy flying again, just like before with Oga Masaru. His leg strength is terrifying… inhuman, even. He's so much stronger than the movie heroes I've seen... If this guy...'

'No, no, stop! I can't keep thinking about this! It's inappropriate!' Natsuha scolded herself, swallowing hard and forcing her eyes away from Hikari's third leg.

But despite her best efforts to resist, she couldn't help but feel a strange sense of attraction. Even though she had never looked at anyone other than her childhood friend, Yuuta, in this way… there was something about Hikari that made her heart flutter.

Meanwhile, Hikari, still mostly focused on Yukino, didn't notice the inner turmoil Natsuha was going through. He saw her standing there, dazed, and assumed she was simply shocked by the fight.

"Have you changed yet? If you're done, let's hurry and get to school," Hikari said casually.

"I... I haven't yet!" Natsuha's cheeks turned a deep shade of red. "The new uniform I put on… it's still a bit damp and sticky… Can you wait a little longer?"

Without waiting for his reply, she dashed back into her apartment.

Hikari sighed, slightly exasperated. It seemed they were going to be late no matter what. Since it was inevitable, he figured he might as well use this extra time to think about how to gain more Pure Love Points from Yukino.

Looking back at the Yuki-Onna, who was nervously biting her lip, Hikari decided to break the silence.

"Miss Yukino, are you alright?"

Startled by Hikari's voice, Yukino quickly raised her head and nodded. "I... I'm fine. What about you?" she asked, her tone filled with genuine concern. "Did Takahashi… hurt you? Are you okay?"

"Don't worry, someone like him isn't a problem. I can't stand guys who try to threaten women, bunch of cowards" Hikari replied coolly.

Hearing his reassurance, Yukino finally relaxed. She gently bit her lip, clasped her hands in front of her waist, and bowed formally. "Thank you so much for helping me earlier. My name is Mifuyu Yukino."

Her expression was sincere, and her words, spoken with such grace and humility, made her look all the more enchanting.

Hikari, finding the sight a bit overwhelming, cleared his throat. "It was nothing. Just a simple act of helping out. I'm Hikari Nakamura, a regular high school student."
