"Erina, no matter how much you curse me, it's useless, because I'm playing the role of a savior here."
"You just need to nod and agree, why are you making it so complicated?"
Erina almost became angry when she heard this. Was this really a question of whether something was complicated or not? This concerned her future life, didn't it?
Erina gritted her teeth and looked at the shameless bastard in front of her, while her heart was filled with hesitation.
"Erina, do you want to continue living with this curse and then, like your mother, become unable to eat anything anymore?"
"And your body will become weaker and weaker, and then you'll die young?"
Shiro's words immediately dealt the first wave of critical damage.
"Or, are you sure you don't want to feel that wonderful taste again?"
Erina recalled what that taste had been like. At first she felt disgusted, but then she honestly enjoyed it very much and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
Shiro saw her swallow and knew she had been caught, because if his power and life level hadn't been able to control her with what she had just experienced, then that would have been a true miracle.
One had to know that a broken Devil Fruit could turn many people into obsessed fools. With his life-level ability and the desire he had just made her feel, it would have been a lie if he couldn't control her.
At this moment, Erina was completely under his control. It wasn't that she lacked willpower or endurance; it was simply that this bastard was too powerful.
Shiro then leaned forward, smiled, and breathed onto her face as he spoke.
"Do you still want to continue? Or do you want to leave like this?"
This time, Shiro slightly released his influence, or rather, slightly loosened his control, just a little.
However, even that made her unable to stop herself from pressing herself against him on her own.
But Shiro extended a finger and pressed it against her forehead, preventing her from taking advantage of him.
"I want an answer."
At this moment, Erina could no longer resist the temptation and immediately shouted the moment she heard those words.
"I agree!"
"Give it to me!"
Then she kissed him very actively, even jumping onto him and tightly hugging Shiro.
If someone had seen this, they definitely would have thought she had been possessed by something, because this behavior was completely opposite to her personality.
However, Shiro knew very well that although her tongue gave her a lot of pride, precisely because of the curse and the fact that her tongue was extremely picky—or rather, unbelievably picky encountering such an unimaginable taste would make her behave like this.
And her original intention to activate some ability had also been erased by Shiro, because that broken ability was better off not existing at all.
...
"Damn it! Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Shiro said this after 18 years, and those words also pulled her out of her state. She looked at herself and immediately screamed.
"Ah~"
Then she immediately jumped backward, but unfortunately, Shiro had already expected it and firmly held onto her.
"Why are you still running away? Do you really have to run like this?"
"Pervert."
"Hentai!"
"Corrupted beast!"
At this moment, Erina uttered every insult she could think of.
"Alright, alright, stop cursing. Can cursing solve the problem? And do you want me to play back your behavior from earlier again?"
Shiro then summoned a projection in his hand. Her behavior and expression in that projection embarrassed her so much that she couldn't look anyone in the eyes. Suddenly, the thought that life in this world was meaningless and that it would be better to start over took root in her mind.
"Turn it off, quickly turn it off."
Erina looked at herself on the screen and immediately shouted with a flushed face, while her voice was full of urgency, shame, and mixed emotions.
At that moment, Shiro helplessly muttered:
"Alright, alright, I'll turn it off, stop rushing me."
After Shiro turned off the recording, he looked at the proud girl in front of him. She wanted to smash her head against a wall, but her current situation was extremely awkward.
"Let me go!"
"No!"
After Erina calmed down, she realized that this situation was unbelievably embarrassing, even full of shame, to the point where she wished she could faint.
"You think that after all this we still have any reason to hold back? If you weren't still in those days of the month, you would've already changed your surname to Shiro."
Erina's face became even redder when she heard this, and she wanted even more to disappear from the face of the earth. She had never expected to fall into this bastard's trap and end up like this. She wanted to hit him, but he held her tightly. She wanted to run away, but he held her tightly again. Honestly speaking, what exactly was this guy even trying to do?
"What else do you want to do? Haven't you already taken enough advantage of the situation?"
"It's not that I haven't taken enough advantage of the situation; the problem is that you're satisfied, so what about me?"
"You're just trying to pull up your skirt and pretend nothing happened, you little degenerate."
Erina was stunned when she heard this. Her beautiful eyes looked at Shiro as though he were some rare species. She knew that from birth until now, everyone around her had adored her and showered her with compliments. She truly had never seen someone this cursed and extreme.
"What do you even want now? I already agreed to your ridiculous conditions, and even you yourself could say... you... you..."
Erina couldn't continue speaking, because such words were too shameless to say aloud.
"You touched everything you should and shouldn't have, right?"
"Idiot! Why would you say something like that?"
"But I'm still not satisfied. Originally, the idea was that what you eat and what enters your mouth becomes yours, but I never expected you'd end up in this kind of state. Do you know how much psychological trauma you caused me?"
Erina immediately looked at Shiro with contempt after hearing this, as if saying: 'You're traumatized? This young lady nearly lost her mind.'
"What does that have to do with this young lady?"
"Hurry up and let me go, I'm going back."
Erina started struggling again. After all, she had been outside—or rather, with this guy, for an unknown amount of time. If she didn't leave soon, the people outside would truly start becoming suspicious.
If the truth came out, she probably would never be able to look anyone in the eyes again, especially if Alice found out about this, so this bastard absolutely had to keep the secret.
