No matter what she does, in the end, people still leave her behind. So what was the point of living? If those dear to her are just going to leave and abandon her at the end of the day, why does she have to...put in so much effort?For herself? But what does that mean?
Her sentence fell short when Haruka held her tighter, "Lila, Lila. I love you so much, my dear wife. You don"t have to worry about anything."
How many times has she heard that sentence before? She is already so exhausted. The last few years, it feels like she could no longer suppress the feelings. Everything is spilling out so fast.
...
Lila opened her eyes and saw the darkness of the night. That"s right; she must have pa.s.sed out. Honestly that was exhausting even for her. Not only did she get emotional, but she also ended up losing control. Her gaze lands on the person who had fallen asleep by her bed, Haruka...
Although it was before she pa.s.sed out, she did spot silver hair. So Kiryu came, that must mean that the council has finally made their decision. So it appears as though they"ve decided to take her side after all. Who would have thought, that both sides of the council ended up choosing her?
What pressure. Lila sighs deeply, and there"s the promise towards Haruka too. When she saw the maroon colored haired man stir, she carefully strokes his hair. Sorry, he must have been very worried even though she had already told him about it before. He probably didn"t expect it. She didn"t even fully transform then either when the time comes she wonders if she will truly be able to suppress it.
Lila bent down and softly kissed the temple of his forehead, only to have a wincing pain appear in her chest. She pulled away immediately and placed her hand on her chest as she felt the urges take hold of her body. Lila reached over and grabbed a tablet from the side and quickly swallowed it down. She pants heavily, as her gaze darts back towards Haruka. Even though ...we were so much closer before, nothing happened then...
She brushes her fingers against her lips, to think that she would think of that now — the sensation of a kiss.

Moonlight Mansion 0:00
Lila didn"t think she would encounter those people upon entering the town.
That was a silent threat, no matter how you look at it she was being threatened, wasn"t he?
Lila sighs deeply, damm she"s p.i.s.sed. Those two just has to have a job in another prefecture coincidentally. As she walked down the busy streets of the city, Lila noted how busy it was. Come to think of it; it"s that time of year already. The winter festival. So they still do this religiously every year, huh? Even though there was a major battle in this area.
It appears as though the traces of the fight have already longed disappeared. The winter festival, a handful of students from each school are asked to help out every year.
Although for the G.o.ddess4 and G.o.d5 members always gets asked. With what occurred yesterday day though he doubts they will actually bother with sending anyone this year. Back then, everyone would help with the festival together. Even if two people get chosen, others would always come along. Back then, it was indeed peaceful.
But what is peace? These days with so many conflicts happening left and right can happen. After a few turns, Lila eventually arrived at her destination. A tall building on the outskirts of town. "It looks as creepy as ever," Lila thought to herself as she pulled out a key and entered. The second she stepped inside, the doors closed behind her, and she could see small creatures with glowing eyes. Wolves? Probably, that guy must have replaced the other creatures.
Upon entering the room, Lila spotted white hair wearing a brown and white suit. Although loosely, sat down engaged in paperwork. Despite the pitch blackness of the room, Lila could see and navigated over to the window. "Is Kaori-sama out?"
"How cruel. Not even a greeting towards your brother boss."
Yes, that"s right. The man sitting over on the other side of the room was none other than her brother boss. With the events that occurred last year - the other side of the council members were arrested. Yet Lila managed to pet.i.tion her for Soichiro and Kaori-sama to be watched in this mansion. Although it wasn"t necessary anymore. She knew she would not be able to keep the two safe from the pro council side otherwise.
"Good evening," Lila said in a sarcastic tone as she leaned against the window ledge. The breeze blowing behind her sent a cool feeling down her spine. Yet it still couldn"t erase the sensation she felt earlier.
"And so? How does it feel?"
"Unreal. It feels like something that can"t be explained rationally is moving my body. Though, I don"t intend to let it take control," Lila murmured. The feeling she was describing was her blood l.u.s.t. Lila didn"t know when it started, but she understood that things could no longer go on this way. The more she denied it, the worse it would get for her. That"s why lately she"s more accepting towards it.
Soichiro winks, " What are you talking about? I asked you about our new merry friend, your husband."
"You sly racc.o.o.n," Lila said, sending him a harsh glare.
"Hmm? Racc.o.o.n?"
Lila ignores his joke and her violet-brown eyes lands outside on to the scenery behind her, " I know. Haruka right? At the very least...he will end up playing a main part in all of this. Not just as an observer or a protector either."
"I see. Well then, shall we leave him up to you?"
Lila closed her eyes, "...That"s right. Soichiro, I want you and Kaori-sama to watch over the light sword users."
"And those people? Are they not dangerous?"
"If you felt the threat from earlier, you should have helped!" she exclaimed.
A chuckle escaped Soicbiro"s lips, " Now now. Like I could have escaped from here." So he says but that tracker on that woman. Even from this distance, he can use his powers.
She sighs deeply, " This isn"t even house arrest anymore."
Soichiro pulled out a red thread from the draw and tossed it over, " Now now. You can finally test it, can"t you? It"s not just the key and lock that decides peoples fates."
" The tear colored diamond."
Lila entangles the red thread around her wrist, and no sooner had she done so did the thread disappear. A deep sigh escaped her lips, "You knew I would be coming?"
"I figured out an estimation."
"I see."
"Did you finally decide to stop being so stubborn?"
"Does your offer still stand?" Lila questioned him back.
Soichiro stood up and left his desk, he walked over and cupped her cheeks, "And? What made you change your mind?"
"Soichiro."
"Will you tell me everything? Or do I have to see for myself," Soichiro p.r.i.c.ked her neck with his fingers? Lila, however, didn"t budge an inch, she knew he was only bluffing. "Even if I don"t see, I can guess what happened. It"s like what I told you."
"Even if he loves me so much, even if I"m loved. I..."
"You still feel alone? It"s still suffocating?"
"..."
Soichiro sighed, "I"m afraid I have to take back the offer."
Eh? The room burst open, and Lila looked over at the door. There stood none other than her husband Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka.
"Har--Haruka?" What is he doing here? Wasn"t he sleeping?
"Do you think such a stupid knock out drug would work on me? Quit taking me for a fool."
"Haruka...I.."
Haruka walked over and pulled her into my arms, "No matter what I won"t leave you, I won"t let you out of my sight. Your already mine and mine alone."
..
"You really are stupid; I can"t believe you ran away."
"I"m s--sorry," Lila apologized, "I was just a bit overwhelmed."
Haruka took something out of his pocket, and Lila paused, "Eh?" the box was new - it was a new phone. Lila blinked puzzled, "Um?"
"I asked Myou to buy it for me; he only just gave it to me because I"ve been running around everywhere."
"A new phone?"
"I got rid of the other two, should be on it"s way to the dumpster by now."
"In.."
"So," Haruka trailed off, "You can set it up for me. You"re my wife."
"Um, this model is the same as mine."
"Yeah, nice, huh?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
"Were matching," Lila said happily. Matching? Lila recalled the phone straps, and her face color turned pale. Did he forget to take it off? That means... Just as Lila thought that Haruka took something out of his pocket, a relieved sigh escaped her lips.
"Did you really think I"d forget about this?"
"Well, um I thought you got emotional like me."
"Such a silly girl," Haruka sighed, "Well when I saw that you just left, I panicked. Aizawa, and heck even Zane they don"t mean anything to me. I only need you."
"Haruka, you have to have friends."
Haruka chuckles, "You want me to have friends now?"
Lila pouted, "Not those type of friends.
"Babe, you look gorgeous."
Her cheeks turned red when she felt him edge closer, "Stop; I just rushed out. My hair is a mess, and I"m only wearing my nightgown..."
"I like it when you wear it though; you look gorgeous."
This atmosphere, Lila lightly pulled away from him, "We should go home now."
"Hmm? But Mei is still there."
"T--then a hotel, we can"t do it here," Lila mumbled. Soichiro will kill her if he finds out they did it here.
"That"s fine, but I didn"t bring any cards with me."
"F--fine! I"ll book one."
"You will? What kind of hotel will my wife choose?"
This man is so shameless; he"s doing it deliberately. Her thoughts broke off when she saw the red thread slipping from her fingertips. That"s strange; she already secured it, right? Unless Lila moved away from Haruka and watched as it fell back to place. Maybe there"s a connection? She supposes she has time to think about it.
Haruka told her that Zane is a good guy. But a good guy would not act in such a brutish manner. Even now, Lila could recall the photos of the dead victims and shuddered. She can"t allow Haruka to return to that person"s side.
..
The two of them exited the building, and Lila brought up Haruka joining their side. To her surprise, he was nodding and not showing that dark expression anymore. Did he make his mind up?
"I know."
"And you can"t take your naps anymore. "
"Mm.."
"And also--"she was cut off when he suddenly backed her against a tree. His gaze intensified, "Haruka, are you doing?"
"So when I touch you, you"ll react, huh?" he murmurs.
She turns a bright red; he figured it out just from that conversation alone? Or was she really too obvious, " That is," Lila sentence fell short when she saw him leaning closer, and she closed her eyes.
His hold on her tightened. He grabbed her chin gently with one hand, making her look up at him. Lila felt her heart skip several beats. Haruka"s eyes seemed to search for something, and Lila knew he wanted to ask her something. Shakily, she breathed out, "Haruka—?"
His lips crashed against hers, the hand holding her chin moving to bring her closer against him. Her eyes grew wide, surprise stunning her for a second, until he released her lips long enough for her to whisper out, "Haruka, what—" This time, his lips gently edged hers on. Lila understood and closed her eyes as she allowed Haruka to take control of her lips.
By the time Haruka released her, she was breathing and panting quickly, her eyes half-lidded. His warm breath tickled her forehead. His warm hands, his words - it made her dizzy, made her head feel all muddled.
