Chapter 40: Chapter 40: The Labyrinth Devil (EC)

The aerial tour car ride lasted a little over twenty minutes. From beginning to end, Kotone Asaba did not feel much of anything. He had merely looked at the scenery from the air.

Even now that they had already gotten off the tour car, the happiness in Kobeni Higashiyama’s heart still had not faded, and her face was still red.

"Let’s go eat something and rest for a bit first, then we can try the next attraction," Kotone Asaba said.

Kobeni Higashiyama nodded, but she felt a little anxious inside.

Every time, Asaba was the one treating her to food. Once or twice was fine, but after so many times, she felt really embarrassed.

Yet she had no idea how to repay him. She did not have a single bit of money on her, so she could not even treat him in return.

Kobeni Higashiyama thought about it and felt she should just forget it, painfully giving up on the tasty food. "I think maybe we shouldn’t... I feel really bad always letting you treat me..."

"What’s the big deal? But if you really feel that bad about it, you can repay me another way."

Kotone Asaba almost wanted to say that this little bit of money was nothing, but saying that would obviously be bad. To him, it might only be a small amount of money, but to Kobeni Higashiyama...

"Another way...?"

Kobeni Higashiyama thought about it. She did not have a cent on her, so what other way could she possibly repay him?

Then, something shameful and hard to say appeared in her mind. Did he mean he wanted her to repay him with her body?

In an instant, Kobeni Higashiyama’s mind even imagined those lewd scenes, and her face flushed completely red.

Th-this-this... How could that be okay?!

She hated that sort of thing. Back when her family had asked her whether she would consider working in the adult industry in the future, she had been utterly devastated. Repaying someone with her body was basically the same kind of thing.

But if the other person was Asaba, maybe it was not completely impossible...?

No, no, no!

At that moment, Kobeni Higashiyama felt as though there were two versions of herself arguing inside her heart, a shy, reserved little angel and a little succubus that kept egging her on.

Seeing Kobeni Higashiyama’s reaction become very strange, Kotone Asaba wondered if he had said something wrong.

Before he had even had time to say what kind of repayment he meant, Kobeni Higashiyama had already misunderstood.

"I’ll put ingredients in the clubroom. At noon, you can come make food. That can count as repayment, right?"

Kotone Asaba explained his idea, then could not help asking, "By the way, Kobeni, what’s wrong? You look a little off."

"I make food...?"

Kobeni Higashiyama, whose mind had been in the middle of an intense internal struggle, instantly froze when she heard Kotone Asaba’s words. The expression on her face stiffened too.

Asaba wanted her to cook as repayment, while she had been thinking about those indecent things.

An extreme sense of shame immediately slammed into her heart, and she wished she could dig a hole and bury herself in it.

While she was utterly ashamed, she also felt incredibly relieved. Thank goodness she had only thought it in her heart and had not said it out loud. Otherwise, Asaba would definitely think she was a lewd girl.

If that happened, she would truly want to die.

"N-no! Nothing! Nothing at all! It’s nothing!"

At that moment, Kobeni Higashiyama frantically tried to cover it up. She was so anxious that tears were almost about to come out, terrified that Kotone Asaba would know what she had just been thinking.

Seeing that Kobeni Higashiyama was almost about to cry, Kotone Asaba did not dare ask any further. He immediately shifted the topic back. "What do you think about the cooking thing I mentioned just now?"

When she saw that Asaba did not press her, Kobeni Higashiyama let out a huge sigh of relief inside. She got her emotions under control, and after a while, she finally calmed down a little.

"I... I’m fine with it, of course. But does our club have those kitchen tools...?"

Although Kobeni Higashiyama felt that repayment on that level was nowhere near enough, it seemed like that was the only thing she could do. Aside from using her body...

As soon as she thought of those lewd things, she immediately slapped her own face with both hands. She was being far too shameless!

"Hiss... That hurt..."

Seeing Kobeni Higashiyama like this, Kotone Asaba looked completely puzzled. He had no idea what was going on with Kobeni. She had been acting very strange since earlier.

"As for the kitchen tools, that’s simple. I’ll bring some kitchen tools from home to the clubroom," Kotone Asaba said.

Although the club he had created was the Reading Club and not a cooking club, nobody had ever said the Reading Club could not cook.

In any case, the clubroom was large enough, with plenty of space for kitchen tools and ingredients.

As for Kobeni’s cooking skills, he was not worried at all. The school had cooking class every week, and on top of that, when Kobeni got serious, her physical ability was actually extremely impressive.

"Okay..."

Even so, Kobeni Higashiyama still felt bad. The kitchen tools and ingredients were all provided by Asaba. Compared to that, just cooking did not count for much.

She wondered whether she should discuss it with her parents after she went back, but she felt very hesitant. There was almost no chance the discussion would succeed, and she would probably be scolded harshly too.

After that, Kobeni Higashiyama kept thinking about her worries and did not notice that she had already followed Kotone Asaba to an ice cream truck.

"Here."

Hearing that voice, Kobeni Higashiyama finally snapped out of her thoughts. When she looked up, she saw Kotone Asaba handing her a cup of ice cream.

"Thank you!"

"Let’s rest nearby for a bit. Then we can go try the maze," Kotone Asaba suggested.

There were other tasty things nearby, but since they still had to go try the next attraction, they definitely could not eat too much.

Kobeni Higashiyama had no objections at all. Being able to play with Asaba at the amusement park already made her very happy and satisfied. No matter what attraction it was, she was willing.

They rested for a few minutes while eating ice cream.

Kotone Asaba then brought Pochita and Kobeni Higashiyama to the maze attraction.

Although a maze was practically meaningless against his Kamui, he had come here to have fun. Using Kamui’s ability would make it far too boring.

After entering the maze from the entrance, they simply had to find the exit. That was roughly how the attraction worked.

It was not just a simple matter of finding the path either. There were all sorts of obstacles inside the maze. Of course, those obstacles were not dangerous.

Aside from Kotone Asaba and the others, there were also quite a few people inside the maze.

Not long after Kotone Asaba entered, an obstacle appeared before him. There were horizontal pillars that moved up and down, and visitors had to time it correctly to crawl under or step over them.

But just as he was about to go through, the scene before his eyes suddenly changed completely.

The colorful foam board walls and ceiling all turned into scarlet, writhing walls of flesh, giving off a foul, bloody stench.

Those pillars also turned into sharp, massive blades, and their up-and-down movement sped up as well.

Someone who had been in the middle of clearing the obstacle was struck by disaster. They were beheaded directly by the blade, and blood sprayed out.

Kotone Asaba’s brows immediately furrowed slightly.

This was obviously inside a devil’s body...

It was probably the Labyrinth Devil.
