Bar.Kiryu immediately yanked the girl away from the men and said nothing. The guys looked as though they wanted to protest but Kiryu stares at them coldly, and they hurriedly left the room. Rosalia clung to his arm.
"Kiryu-kun ~ if you wanted to play with me too. You could have just said so.."
His gaze darkened further, and he threw her on the bed, and grabbed hold of her neck, "So you strangled her like this? Did you think I wouldn"t notice?"
"Ahh. It hurts, it"s so good..."
Tsk. He lets her go immediately and sits up.
Rosalia after catching her breath sits up and leaned against his shoulder, "Kiryu-kun. Don"t be so angry. I was just informing her," Rosalia"s fingers traced the b.u.t.tons on his s.h.i.+rt, "That your feelings have changed."
"My feelings have remained the same, no. They"ve gotten stronger."
"Are you sure? What about your cute little a.s.sistant? You seem to care a lot for her."
"Rosalia, a relations.h.i.+p between a man and a woman doesn"t have to be s.e.xual. Even with you, I only wanted to be friends."
Rosalia laughed, "Your so naïve Kiryu-kun, friends? After everything that"s happened?"
He paused, as various images from the past appeared in his head. He shut his eyes. She really isn"t making this any easier for him.
Kiryu exhaled deeply, "Rosalia, really, what do you want?"
"I want you to be mine again..."
"Listen, I made it clear to you before I asked Lila out, and after I asked her out. Rosalia, it"s over."
Rosalia didn"t respond and continued to kiss and suck his neck.
"Rosalia, this isn"t funny. Stop."
"Kiryu-kun, just a little ~ I won"t tell Lila..."
Kiryu felt his mind go hazy, the girl"s words overlapped with what she said last year. That"s right, it was like this before too wasn"t it? She won"t tell Lila. The hole he feels in his heart gets filled even if it"s just temporarily. They both gain something from this, so he doesn"t have to feel bad.
No, this is...
Kiryu harshly pushed her away, seeing her bend down hurt pained him. But he shook his head. Rosalia kept acting this way because she"s still too attached to him, that attachment is causing Lila harm. He should have noticed it sooner. He walked over, "Rosalia.."
"It hurts..."
"Listen I love Lila."
"I know that," Rosalia said.
He shook his head, "No, you don"t."
"You love Lila. But you still care about me right?
"Rosalia, I can"t look at you and treat you the same way anymore. The previous times I still forgave you somehow. But your actions have been eating away any affection or kindness I even have left for you..." Kiryu paused. Honestly, it makes him sick just being in the same room as her now. He never wanted it to end up this way. During his moments of weakness, Rosalia was always there for me. He really is grateful to her, he wouldn"t have been able to get through to that time if it wasn"t for her. But she"s changed. "Please stop this, before I really end up hating you."
"Kiryu-kun...?"
________________________________________________
He doesn"t say anymore and left. Rosalia stood frozen in that spot for the next few minutes.
Was she wrong?
Kiryu-kun, looked as though he would cry.
Did she make a mistake?
"I told you that guy wouldn"t listen." a familiar voice said. The person had been in the room for a long time but only just revealed themselves.
"Leave me alone, I"m in a bad mood," Rosalia mumbled. No, it wasn"t a mistake. She made the right choice. Rosalia shook her head, what was with that moment of weakness. She has to get a grip.
She can"t believe this. Even though she used strong aphrodisiac. How come he could resist it? d.a.m.n... What is it about Lila that"s so special? Her voice? Background? Other than those two things, the girl doesn"t have much. Sure Lila is a beauty, but her cold appearance scares most people away.
Rosalia"s thoughts broke off when she heard the sound of clattering. She found herself pinned to the bed, using the usual chains. While she normally wouldn"t mind, she didn"t want to erase Kiryu-kuns scent.
"Jun...Let—let me go..."
"No can do, besides aren"t you forgetting something? You"re the one who begged me."
Rosalia sighed, "I"m not saying let me go as in stopping," Jun nodded and removed the binding.
"They all think Itsuki is the threat, how laughable. What can that guy do?! When his brother is the opponent..."
"Ahh, don"t you know? They plan to win Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka over.."
"Now that would be a problem." he trailed off, "What do you think we should do little pet?"
"Nnmgh, go with my idea..."
"Hm, so we use that woman?"
"Kiryu-kun may love Lila. But he has a sense of justice if somebody precious to him is in danger. He will prioritize them. It"s easy to create a window of misunderstanding then." Rosalia informed him.
Kiryu-kun, this isn"t over. Eventually, he will come over to this side to be with her. That thought excited her.

Outside the bar, Forest.
After parting ways from Jun, she found exactly who she was looking for. A smile tugged on her lips, "Selichan, do you have time?"
"Oh Rosalichan, have you seen Kiryu-kun? He"s supposed to be doing another check up..."
"I heard Lilchan fell ill, aren"t they together?"
At that comment, she watched as the girl"s face color turned pale. "But knowing Lilchan, she"s probably faking it? She"s always used such random excuses to keep Kiryu by her side before. I heard she already did a diagnosis and was healthy enough to train..."
Rosalia kept it cool, she stated her information like facts, indifferently like she is an outside party. It was enough to fool Selia since the girl clenched her fist.
"That woman is sneaky. Kiryu-kun just woke up from a coma. What is she doing dragging him around for? Does she not care about him at all?"
"And she"s experimenting with Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka too."
Selia grabbed her wrist then, "What does that mean? What do you mean by experimenting with Harukkun?"
She wanted to laugh, this girl is way too easy to fool. It seems like she found a good p.a.w.n to use in this little game. Kiryu-kun, the two of us will soon be together.
