After all, Sakiko and Kamijou Mutsuki's situation was something everyone more or less knew about.
Since you're stealing my partner, don't blame me for stealing your man!
Thinking this, a sense of vengeful satisfaction rose in the girl's heart.
The donut lady had long suffered under Sakiko!
Meanwhile, Kamijou Mutsuki hadn't expected this move from the donut lady at all.
This astonishing train of thought—if he weren't sure he hadn't mistaken her for someone else, he might've thought the person in front of him was Soyo herself.
"Hehe, Demon King,"
Seeing that Kamijou Mutsuki didn't respond, the donut lady stepped forward, placing a hand on his chest, the corners of her lips curling slightly.
"You wouldn't want me to refuse letting Uika join that blue-haired girl's band later, would you?"
In the donut lady's view, Uika joining Sakiko's band was already inevitable.
Just look at her—after seeing that blue-haired girl, the smile on her face hadn't stopped!
And it was undeniable that joining Sakiko's new band would be better for Uika's future development.
As long as Uika didn't leave Sumimi, she didn't want to put her partner in a difficult position either.
But just let it go like that?
Could the donut lady swallow that kind of grievance?
The answer was—she could.
But before, she hadn't had the opportunity. Now that she finally had one, she was definitely going to take her revenge!
"…I don't eat donuts."
Looking at the upside-down situation—a beautiful girl acting boldly in his arms—Kamijou Mutsuki fell silent for a moment before replying.
"I told you, I'm not a donut!"
Hearing this, the girl—who had just seemed a bit seductive and domineering—immediately puffed up her cheeks in a cute manner.
Was going on a date with her really that difficult?
The donut lady felt that even if she wasn't as good as Uika, she was still absolutely a top-tier beauty.
Why was this guy so annoying? This was making her so mad!
"Actually, I think there's no need for you to be so hostile toward Saki-chan,"
At this moment, Kamijou Mutsuki had roughly figured out why she was acting this way.
"The matter of the new band also involves my intentions."
"Hmph, Mana already knew that blue-haired girl had designs on Uika!"
However, hearing him defend Sakiko, the donut lady clearly didn't agree.
"And besides, in the anime, you weren't even there, and she still…"
After watching for so long, they all understood—
What happened in the anime couldn't be taken as reality directly, but it could definitely serve as a reference.
"And don't think you can just get away with it either, Demon King!"
If Kamijou Mutsuki hadn't brought it up, she might've forgotten about him!
Thinking about how she had been "bullied" (in her own opinion) by this Demon King before, the girl suddenly felt a surge of wicked courage.
"Hmph, if you don't want Mana-chan to stop Uika from joining the band, then you'd better obediently listen to me!"
"And what exactly do you want to do?"
Looking at the girl's imposing stance, Kamijou Mutsuki raised an eyebrow slightly.
These days, even donuts have started biting people?
"Hehe, you have to obediently go on a date with Mana-chan."
Hearing this, the girl put her hands on her hips and proudly stated her "punishment."
"You have to run errands for Mana-chan unconditionally, carry my bags, and buy me endless donuts and snacks…"
Just imagining the terrifying Demon King being completely at her mercy, ordered around however she pleased, filled the donut lady with an indescribable thrill and pride.
However, after hearing her demands, the expression on Kamijou Mutsuki's face became… disappointed?
"That's it?"
It had to be said—she really was a donut. Even her "bite" was sweet!
"Of course that's not all!"
Seeing his reaction, the excitement in the donut lady's heart instantly turned into irritation.
She was already treating him like a servant, and he still thought it wasn't enough?
Then she wouldn't hold back anymore!
"Mana will step on your face hard with her foot!"
"Shoes on or off?"
Kamijou Mutsuki's question made her expression freeze slightly.
Wait—I'm saying I'll step on your face, and you're asking whether I'm wearing shoes?
Come to think of it, she really hadn't considered that…
Hold on—if he's asking that…
Was he… scared?
"Don't worry,"
As if she had just achieved some incredible victory, the girl couldn't help but smile.
"Mana isn't as cruel as you, Demon King!"
It wasn't that she was soft-hearted—it was just hard to control the force. If she accidentally stomped him into the hospital, that would be troublesome.
"But don't think that means you're off the hook. Mana will trample your dignity—and even make you…"
This was the price for bullying her before!
Thinking this, even she started to feel like she might be going a bit too far.
She grinned smugly, wanting to see Kamijou Mutsuki beg for mercy.
However…
"There's actually something this good?"
Donut: ?
Wait—did that just make you excited?!
"So when do we start?"
"I'll pay for the room!"
"Eww—"
The girl finally snapped back to her senses and hurriedly took several steps back.
She looked at Kamijou Mutsuki with utter disgust, as if staring at something filthy.
She had never imagined that someone could actually get excited over something like this—this was way too perverted!
If it were her, she absolutely wouldn't be able to endure such humiliation!
"Hentai! Pervert! Shameless!"
The girl couldn't help but hesitate—did she really want to go on a date with this big pervert?
Wait… could this have been the Demon King's plan all along?
As if suddenly realizing something, the donut lady's face once again broke into a smile.
"Hmph, Demon King, stop pretending—Mana-chan has already seen through you!"
Trying to escape punishment this way?
As expected of the Demon King—so cunning!
But in front of her, Mana-chan's world-shocking wisdom, all of this was nothing but futile effort!
Wait, what exactly did you see through?
Her confident expression instead made Kamijou Mutsuki unsure what she was thinking.
"Stop resisting, just obediently go on a date with Mana and accept your punishment!"
"Or do you want Mana-chan to stop Uika from joining the band?"
Wait—are you really this fixated on the date?
Kamijou Mutsuki seriously began to suspect that the donut lady might secretly have a crush on him, coveting his looks all along.
Guys really do need to protect themselves when they're out!
"…Well?"
Seeing that Kamijou Mutsuki wasn't responding, the girl started to lose confidence.
Even though she was threatening him like this, if he really refused, could she actually go cause trouble for Uika?
That would only end in both sides losing—she definitely didn't want that either.
"…Are you sure?"
Fortunately, Kamijou Mutsuki didn't refuse outright, but instead asked in a somewhat subtle tone.
"Just tell me whether you agree or not!"
"…Fine."
After all, if the donut lady really insisted on opposing it, it would indeed be troublesome.
