"What you said makes sense..."
After listening to Lin's words, Kurumu Kurono nodded involuntarily.
Lin smiled and continued, "You confessed to me, and I accept your confession. So, from now on, you belong to me."
"That... alright."
Kurumu Kurono's cheeks flushed slightly upon hearing this, a touch of shyness appearing in her eyes. It was love at first sight, to begin with; during this period, she would think of Lin from time to time, and her romantic feelings had been constantly accumulating. After this current contact, she discovered that Lin was an existence truly worthy of entrusting her life to.
However, there was one shortcoming. That was, he was a bit too philandering. But this wasn't unacceptable—it was just difficult to accept immediately. It would take some time to adapt. Since she had already made her decision, and things had come to this, she would continue down this path.
Thinking of this, the look in Kurumu Kurono's eyes as she looked at Lin changed slightly again, gaining a bit more trust.
"Do you want to conclude a contract?" Lin extended his right hand toward Kurumu Kurono.
"What contract?"
Kurumu Kurono blinked upon hearing this, a trace of doubt surfacing in her eyes. Looking at the right hand before her, her gaze flickered slightly, and she placed her own right hand onto Lin's hand with a blushing face. Two hands clasped together.
Lin smiled and explained, "A soul contract that makes you, Kurumu, my clansman. After signing it, you will belong to me forever. Are you willing?"
"Soul contract..."
Kurumu Kurono frowned slightly upon hearing this, a trace of hesitation appearing in her eyes. Lin did not rush her; he just quietly watched her, waiting for an answer.
Kurumu Kurono and Lin made eye contact, as if she could see into his heart through his eyes, finding absolutely no malice. After a while.
"Okay." Kurumu Kurono nodded.
"Then, here I come." A smile appeared on Lin's face.
Under Kurumu Kurono's gaze, he took a large step forward, gently lifted her chin with his right hand, and then leaned down.
"!!!"
Kurumu Kurono's eyes widened. Her pupils trembled, and shyness surfaced. Her body also involuntarily tensed up a little. Her hands gripped her skirt; without any resistance, she closed her eyes, her heart filled with nervousness and anticipation.
Lin kissed her lips.
Deepening their feelings through the kiss, he simultaneously used the King's Clansman ability to begin signing the contract. A hesitation flashed through his mind. He hesitated between Gold and Colorless, but ultimately, Lin decided to bestow the power of the Colorless Kingship authority upon her.
The power of the Colorless Kingship authority was more suitable. Kurumu Kurono was a Succubus; her innate talents were hypnosis, illusions, and traversing dreams, the intensity of which was linked to spiritual power. His Colorless authority primarily promoted spiritual power.
After bestowing the power of the Colorless Kingship authority upon Kurumu Kurono, she would also gain the versatile ability of psychokinesis. This could significantly enhance her combat power.
While kissing Kurumu Kurono and concluding the contract, Lin once again sensed Shirayuki Mizore's peeping gaze. He thought about it and decided to ignore it.
Meanwhile, in the hidden room.
Shirayuki Mizore watched Lin and Kurumu Kurono kissing through the Ice Mirror, her eyes involuntarily widening slightly. Shock and astonishment surfaced in her eyes. The two of them got together just like that!?
Was this really a case of "a man chasing a woman is separated by a mountain, but a woman chasing a man is separated by a veil"?
Shirayuki Mizore watched Lin and Kurumu Kurono kiss, and for some reason, an uncomfortable feeling suddenly arose in her heart. She had an impulse to freeze the kissing couple into ice blocks. The temperature in the room dropped rapidly. Traces of frost became faintly visible.
Philandering carrot!
This phrase couldn't help but pop up in Shirayuki Mizore's mind. She gently bit her lollipop. Does Lin refuse no one as long as it's a beautiful girl?
Although she really wanted to criticize Lin's philandering, she thought about how she wasn't anyone special to Lin. She had absolutely no right to say anything. Thinking of this, Shirayuki Mizore felt her mood instantly worsen.
Snowflakes began to drift inside the room.
Out of sight, out of mind. She directly dispelled the Ice Mirror. She originally just wanted to see what Lin was doing, but she hadn't expected such a shocking opening scene, which ended up making her unhappy.
In the small woods behind the academy. About five minutes later.
Lin slowly straightened up, supporting Kurumu Kurono's shoulders with both hands so she wouldn't go limp and fall to the ground. Kurumu Kurono, having experienced her first kiss, had a flush red face and kept her eyes closed, still immersed in the sensation of the kiss.
A tail poked out from under her skirt, swaying gently behind her. It was about the same as a Charm Demon's tail. Although her race wasn't a Charm Demon, but rather called a Succubus, some of the settings actually looked quite similar to a Charm Demon. For example, the physical characteristics.
Kurumu Kurono recovered from the afterglow and slowly opened her eyes. Looking at Lin, who had a smile on his lips before her, her face reddened again. A trace of shyness flashed in her eyes as she slightly averted her gaze.
"Wait, this is..."
At this moment, Kurumu Kurono, having come back to her senses, perceived the changes in herself. Her eyes widened slightly, her face full of astonishment.
Lin gave her an explanation.
"!!!"
Kurumu Kurono was shocked to the point of being somewhat dazed, her small mouth hanging slightly open. She looked at Lin in disbelief. She hadn't expected the object of her love at first sight to be so formidable.
Not only could he be immortal, but he could even pass that ability of immortality to his clansman through a contract, directly avoiding the tragedy of lifespan differences. Although she was a yokai and belonged to a long-lived species, her lifespan was generally only hundreds or a thousand years; sooner or later, she would age and die.
Lin said, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet the others."
"Okay..."
Kurumu Kurono's gaze flickered upon hearing this, a trace of nervousness flashing in her eyes.
The Space Card flashed by. The two instantly vanished from the spot, and Lin reappeared with Kurumu Kurono not far from the path where his group of wives was.
"Eh..."
Seeing Lin and Kurumu Kurono suddenly appear, the wives coincidentally all looked toward Kurumu Kurono. Their eyes moved slightly, gazes flashing.
Being stared at by Akasha, Tohru, and the others, Kurumu Kurono's body stiffened slightly, and a trace of helplessness appeared in her eyes. This was because they were still releasing their auras. Feeling the faintly discernible oppression from Akasha and the others, Kurumu Kurono felt a mountain of pressure.
Especially Akasha and Tohru. These two had the strongest oppressive presence. However, Akasha and the others quickly retracted their auras.
Lin smiled slightly and said, "This is Kurumu Kurono. She was the one who wanted to see me just now. She will also be a member of our family from now on."
"Welcome, I am Lala."
Lala was the first to smile and extend her hand.
"Hello, Lala."
Looking at the tail behind Lala that was somewhat similar to her own, Kurumu Kurono smiled amicably and reached out to shake her hand. Everyone exchanged greetings.
At this moment, Lin received a message from Mikogami Tenmei, so he took his wives back to the other party's office building. Tojo Ruby had already finished packing. She didn't bring too many things.
Lin asked Kurumu Kurono about it and had her go to the Human Realm together with them. If she wanted to return to the Yokai Realm, she could come back at any time. Kurumu Kurono agreed upon hearing this.
Before leaving Yokai Academy, Lin glanced at the Codex of All Things. After thinking slightly, he made a decision in his heart. He asked his wives to wait for him a moment.
Using the Space Card, he instantly vanished from before the eyes of Akasha and the others.
