Volume 2 Chapter 2 Part3 (2/2)

shi+ki raised her bangs and showed lance at I for me to feel like I was about to be sed into its depths If what she was saying was true, then that golden abyss here the power of her Gift was being held

「It all depends on the power really, but the general rule is that the core of a Gift is a place that is associated with it or influenced by it, but in cases of complex abilities that tend to affect the entire body, an that has the strongest connection to both life and death」

「Sounds reasonable enough for me」

「That was e on how exactly a Gift works, then it's easy to predict which part of the body acts as its core」

In other words, Yugao-chan knew that my heart was the source of 『Thanatos'』 immortality, most probably because the Yahata clan dealt with supernatural powers since they were established, so theypowers like that

「Tellin your chest?」

「To say that it's strange would be an understatement What happens if the core of my Gift… if my heart would be destroyed?」

I had to ask that question, both for myself and shi+namachi-senpai's sake

「Destruction of your heart means the destruction of your Gift Core, and in consequence, your death」

That's the worst possible outcouess I expected the answer to be as such At least I know that for now my heart is still intact, but the iao-chan is presu to use it for? Since she didn't dispose of it iotiations? Is there so she wants to obtain or do that badly that she was ready to go to such lengths to obtain it?

「Now that you know the stakes, spill the beans already Who's the ao?」

shi+ki asked those questions so suddenly that for ahow to react But since she ith senpai, Fujisato and Kuhoh all the time then it's to be expected that she would suspect the twin maids, the only ones ere not with us the entire tithat either One thing that I found curious though, was the fact that Asagao was shi+ki's first choice when it caers at the culprits Maybe that was because she is under the iile to actually try to kill so shi+ki the truth was the only option

「No, actually It was Yugao-chan She luredsoht've been helpful with our current situation」

「Yugao?」

shi+ki looked and sounded genuinely surprised to hear that

「For someone like you, a self-proclaiuard and expose your back to soao… you had my curiosity, but now you havethat happened in that study Every juicy detail」

「Well, uhm, how should I put it… s-she, she started to take her clothes off and…」

shi+ki's face remained expressionless, but her blue eye looked atthat she just scraped off of her shoe Come to think of it, she did ao-chan, she'll endfrom B to Z, even if I potentially seal my own demise with it

「When she… when she stripped down to nothing but her underwear and began to take off even that, that's… that's when I turnedaalong the lines of 「That hopeless ain」 And the worst part? I couldn't rebuke that in any way, because that was one hundred percent the truth! I really need to work on counterainst female seduction

「You knohat, Monjiro? I somehow expected you to co even for you Is killing you really that easy? Showing you a little bit of my skin will really do the trick?」

That felt like a Natural 20 Vicious Mockery critical daht to my manly pride
