"Making love, of course~"
Apart from the faint blush on her cheeks, Eto showed no particular embarrassment as she boldly said those words.
"..."
Byakuya was silent for a moment. "You're the one who said it."
"Mm, I said it."
Eto nodded. "So, do you have the guts? Don't tell me you're all desire and no nerve again~"
Faced with Eto's provocation, Byakuya naturally couldn't back down.
"Whether I have what it takes—why don't we find out?"
Byakuya said directly.
"Sure, let's find out then."
Eto showed no sign of retreating either.
...
In the end, the two decided on Eto's house...
Yoshimura was still working at the café as usual, and Ukina had gone to help him.
She was also able to prepare lunch for him there around noon.
So the house was empty at this hour.
Before getting down to business, they naturally needed to shower first.
Eto went in first, but just as she entered the bathroom, she poked her head back out. "Aren't you going to peek?"
"No need."
Byakuya said calmly.
...
Once both had finished bathing and changed clothes.
When Byakuya sat down on the bed, Eto suddenly pounced on him.
She seemed intent on pushing him down onto the bed.
But Eto was small and light—she couldn't budge him at all.
If she still had her former half-ghoul strength, she might have had a chance...
However, Byakuya then took the initiative to fall back onto the bed.
"That's more like it. I almost thought I'd have to remind you."
Eto took the opportunity to straddle him, then began pulling open his sleepwear.
But she was immediately met with a counterattack. In the blink of an eye, Eto's sleepwear had been completely stripped away...
After all, Byakuya hadn't lost his powers like Eto had—his Six Paths abilities were still very much intact.
The sudden loss of clothing caught Eto off guard.
Seizing this moment, Byakuya didn't give her time to recover. He immediately launched a vigorous offensive.
"Wait—! ...Mm..."
Eto still wasn't quite mentally prepared, but the moment she opened her mouth, Byakuya covered it.
Before long, Eto gradually surrendered...
...
It was nearly evening.
Right around when Yoshimura and Ukina would be getting off work.
Only then did Byakuya finally cease his assault.
With his Six Paths physique, he still felt virtually no fatigue even now.
Eto, on the other hand, lay limp in Byakuya's arms. Her body was no different from an ordinary person's now—actually, even more delicate than average.
"That was impressive. I underestimated you..."
Eto murmured softly, nestled against Byakuya.
"I think I might have overdone it? Are you okay?"
Byakuya asked with concern.
He'd almost forgotten that Eto was no longer the robust half-ghoul she'd once been, but rather small and fragile...
"I'm fine. Just a little tired. I'll be okay after lying here a bit."
Eto shook her head slightly.
"That's good. Once you've rested enough, we should get up and clean up. Mom and Dad will be back soon."
Byakuya said.
"But..."
Eto looked up at Byakuya, a mischievous smile spreading across her face. "What if I don't want to get up?"
