Seeing the despair flash in Akai Mary's eyes, Hanyu Nanasu subtly changed the subject, a seemingly tolerant but actually more unsettling smile appearing on his face:

"However, for Akemi and Shiho's sake, I won't kill you. After all, you are our aunt, no matter what."

"However, necessary punishment is unavoidable."

"You always have to pay the price for what you've done wrong. Even a child understands that, doesn't he, Auntie?"

He released his grip on Mary Akai's neck.

"Cough! Cough cough cough..."

Like a broken doll that had been played with and then discarded, Akai Mary fell onto the cold floor, clutching her throat with both hands, coughing violently, and greedily inhaling the long-lost air that smelled of gunpowder.

Her small body trembled incessantly from the shock and lack of oxygen, and her golden hair clung messily to her sweaty forehead.

However, before she could catch her breath and calm her burning throat, she saw the terrifying boy turn his indifferent gaze to his daughter, Sera Masumi, who was kneeling on the ground, trembling like a quail, and slowly walk towards her.

"No...don't touch her!"

Despite the burning pain in her throat and her weakness, Mary Akai shouted in a hoarse voice, struggling to get up, "Whatever... come at me! She's just a child!"

"Damn it! Let go of my mom! Come at me if you have a problem!"

Sera Masumi also sensed the approaching danger. Despite being pinned down and unable to move, she still roared with all her might, her eyes filled with anger and fear.

The mother and daughter shared a deep bond, making for a truly touching scene.

Hanyu Nan stopped a few steps away from Sera Masumi, sat back down on the edge of the bed, propped his chin up with one hand, tilted his head, and showed a hint of... genuine confusion on his face?

Why do I feel like I've become the villain who's forcing innocent women... no, I mean, forcing a poor little girl and her mother?

He touched his chin, somewhat speechless.

That being said, I was clearly the victim who was suddenly shot, right? I almost had my heart and lungs ripped out.

Why is he now being portrayed as the one who committed the heinous crime?

Is there no justice left?!

but......

The feeling of occasionally playing the "bad guy" seems... kind of fun?

Especially seeing the pale faces of the mother and daughter agents who had just tried to kill him.

Yuzuru shook off the jumbled thoughts in his mind, turned his gaze to the anxious Akai Mary on the ground, glanced at Sera Masumi kneeling before him, and slowly said:

"Don't worry, I'm not that interested in your daughter right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sera Masumi, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to have been turned off. Her eyes closed, her body went limp, and she fell into a coma.

"So innocent!"

Mary Akai exclaimed in surprise, the power of maternal love allowing her to temporarily overcome her fear and weakness, and she wanted to rush over to check on her daughter.

But her movements came to an abrupt halt.

Because the boy had appeared in front of her at some point, and he bent down and easily scooped up her petite body, holding her horizontally in his arms.

Hmm, the movements are very practiced; you can tell you've done this kind of thing a lot.

Mary Akai didn't even see how he moved.

"What did you do to her?!" She struggled, glaring at Yuzuru with her sharp, adult woman's eyes.

"Just let her sleep so she won't disturb our 'business'." Yu Sheng Nan, holding the light blonde loli in his arms, walked to the bedside and sat down, trapping her on his lap.

He lowered his head, his warm breath brushing against Akai Mary's delicate, fair ear, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, a voice that was both magnetic and tinged with a hint of danger:

"However, I am still very interested in you, Aunt."

Mary Akai's body stiffened abruptly, and an ominous premonition instantly swept over her.

"As punishment for shooting me just now..." Yuzuru's fingertips gently brushed across her cheeks, which were slightly flushed from nervousness, and slid down to her slender neck.

"I will take away what is currently your most precious possession."

Mary Akai's pupils dilated suddenly, her azure eyes filled with shock, humiliation, and a hint of fear.

She instantly understood what the other person meant!

"No! I am..." she exclaimed in shock.

However, before she could finish speaking, Yuzuru Nan's finger, with irresistible force, gently pressed against her soft, slightly cool lips, silencing her.

"Shh..." He made a shushing gesture, his eyes dark and a wicked smile curving his lips. "Keep your voice down, Auntie. Be careful not to wake my 'dear' cousin."

"No!... Hmm~!"

Mary Akai wanted to resist, but all her unexpressed protests and rebukes were ruthlessly silenced.

At the same time, the curtains on the balcony seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand, automatically closing with a "whoosh" and completely isolating the room from the outside world.

Leisurely, I see the mountains, and then I turn towards the chrysanthemum bushes.
