After killing Sakai Yutaka, Hikari quickly headed to a locked room in the backyard.
After taking out the key and opening the door, he saw a graceful figure lying on the bed. It was none other than Sayako.
Hikari had quickly noticed Sayako's abnormal state after she drank earlier, and he had also guessed Sakai Yutaka's sinister plan.
So before Sakai Yutaka, he hurried after her and first locked the unwell Sayako inside this room to hide her.
After Sakai Yutaka clearly revealed his cuckold-like intent of coveting his brother's wife, Hikari showed no mercy and directly killed him.
Then he turned back to check on Sayako's condition.
Just as Hikari finished locking the door again, he turned around and saw that Sayako, who had been lying on the bed, had already sat up.
Seeing Sayako sitting there blankly without moving, her cheeks flushed, beautiful like peach blossoms yet somewhat dazed, Hikari quickly walked over.
"Hik-Hikari-kun?", Sayako's eyes were hazy, her beautiful pupils unfocused, but she still looked toward Hikari.
After all, Sakai Yutaka had dr*gged her with the intention of going all the way.
At this moment, the dr*gged Sayako looked extremely alluring. Already stunningly beautiful, her delicate face was now flushed with an enticing redness. Combined with her full chest rising and falling, it was enough to make anyone want to devour her at a glance.
Unlike Sakai Yutaka, even if Hikari took advantage of the situation, Sayako probably would not hold any resentment once she sobered up.
But Hikari still suppressed the impulse, because Sayako's condition was not quite right.
Who knew where Sakai Yutaka had gotten this aphrodisiac from. Maybe it was something he picked up from those shady customers at his bar. In any case, it felt rather low quality.
So although Sayako's dazed and sweet appearance was extremely tempting, Hikari decided to detoxify her first, to avoid any harm to her body.
After first confirming that the antidote he had taken from Sakai Yutaka earlier was not poisonous, he fed Sayako a little of it. Seeing her improve somewhat, Hikari also activated a Clear Mind Talisman and fed her some Pure Love brand Nutritional Express and the like.
Under the effects of Hikari's successive methods, Sayako soon became drenched in fragrant sweat, completely soaking her thin dress. The fabric clung tightly to her skin, outlining a graceful and captivating curve.
Hikari did not pay much attention to it, focusing instead on Sayako's condition.
When he saw the redness on Sayako's cheeks gradually fade and her fair complexion return, Hikari finally let out a small sigh of relief.
After a while, the unconscious Sayako slowly woke up.
Her long eyelashes fluttered a few times as her beautiful eyes slowly opened.
"My head hurts so much… where am I?", After opening her eyes, Sayako realized she was being held in someone's arms and instinctively tried to struggle.
When she saw clearly that the person holding her was Hikari, she immediately relaxed and leaned against his chest.
"Are you feeling okay, Aunt Sayako?", Hikari reached out and touched her still slightly warm forehead, asking with concern.
"I'm okay. My head still hurts a little, like I drank too much. Hikari-kun, what happened?", Sayako was usually calm and steady, so she realized that something must have happened earlier.
Hikari explained, "Sakai Yutaka put something in the drink you had earlier. It was an aphrodisiac. Before that guy could make a move on you, I stopped him and helped detoxify you. You're fine now."
After hearing Hikari's explanation, Sayako frowned and recalled what had happened, roughly remembering it.
Thinking that her late husband's younger brother Sakai Yutaka had actually dr*gged her and tried to vi0late her, his widowed sister-in-law, Sayako was so angry that her chest heaved violently, filled with shame and fury.
"That beast! Sakai Yutaka is really a beast!", Sayako cursed angrily several times.
"Thank goodness you were there, Hikari-kun. Otherwise that beast would really have done anything!"
"Oh right, what about that beast Sakai Yutaka? Did you chase him away?", After thanking Hikari, Sayako asked him curiously.
Facing Sayako's question, Hikari first nodded, then shook his head, and said, "I didn't chase him away. I killed him."
"Killed him? Hikari-kun, you killed Sakai Yutaka?"
Hikari's casual words made Sayako's pupils shrink. Her body trembled, and cold sweat unconsciously appeared on her forehead.
"Yes, he's dead," Hikari nodded again to confirm.
It was not easy to hide Sakai Yutaka's death from Sayako.
Hikari had sufficient trust in this widowed aunt who took great care of him and was extremely concerned about him, so he told her the truth.
After being instinctively tense for a short while, Sayako reacted just as Hikari had expected. She did not blame or scold him in the slightest.
Instead, she said with worry and concern, "Hikari-kun, Auntie will keep this secret for you! But we must handle that guy's body properly, or we'll be finished if someone discovers it!"
Hikari nodded, "Yes, don't worry. I'll take care of it."
But Sayako shook her head, "No, not you. Us! Hikari-kun, you're still so young. I won't feel at ease letting you handle something like this alone. Auntie has to help you!"
"Where is that guy's body now? Auntie knows a hidden place. I'll take you there to bury him!"
Hearing Sayako's words, Hikari was somewhat surprised and turned to look at her.
He had thought Sayako might not be too afraid, but he did not expect her to even propose helping him bury the body.
Hikari immediately said, "Aunt Sayako, I killed him by myself. Why do you want to help me bury the body? If you do that, you'll be an accomplice too."
"Hikari-kun, do you not trust Auntie?", Sayako said, slightly annoyed at first.
Then she smiled and said to Hikari, "Not to mention that you acted for Auntie's sake. Just based on our relationship, is there really a big difference between you killing him and Auntie killing him? There's basically no difference."
"So even if the killing gets exposed, Auntie is willing to bear the responsibility together with you."
A soft, warm hand pressed down on the back of his hand. Hikari turned his head and saw the beautiful widowed Aunt Sayako looking at him with an extremely firm and gentle gaze.
This gentle aunt who had taken care of him since childhood truly trusted him unconditionally, treated him well, and thought of him first…
———
Outside, the night was as dark as ink, but the room behind the izakaya was brightly lit.
Seeing the determined expression of sharing hardships written all over Sayako's mature and beautiful face, Hikari could only nod and say, "Alright. I'll take you there, Auntie."
Seeing Hikari stand up, Sayako immediately followed behind him.
However, when they reached the restroom, Hikari moved ahead of her and put Sakai Yutaka's body into a bag before Sayako came in.
Those who kill often know that although Sakai Yutaka had died cleanly without suffering and his appearance was still presentable, Sayako had never seen a dead body before.
So to spare her discomfort, Hikari packed the body first. He also refused her request to help and carried the sack by himself.
Seeing Hikari insist on not letting her help, Sayako knew he was worried about her.
Thinking of the dead body, her face turning somewhat pale, she did not insist further and said, "Hikari-kun, follow me."
Hikari carried the sack and followed Sayako out of the restroom and into the woods behind the izakaya.
After walking through the forest behind her for quite a while, more than ten minutes later, Hikari arrived at a place surrounded by dense bushes, extremely remote and hidden.
"Alright, Hikari-kun, we'll bury him here. I found this place by chance. It's very remote. No one should find it," Sayako said.
Hikari looked around and saw that it was indeed hidden enough, so he nodded in agreement.
Seeing Sayako move closer to him somewhat fearfully because of the darkness of the dense forest, Hikari smiled as he dug and said, "This place really is pretty hidden, Aunt Sayako. You don't often kill people and bury them here, do you?"
Hearing Hikari's words, Sayako could not help but roll her eyes at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and bury this guy."
Although she knew Hikari was deliberately joking to lighten the mood, after that teasing, Sayako really did not feel as nervous or afraid.
She helped hold the shovel and quickly dug a pit together with Hikari, then lifted Sakai Yutaka's body and threw it in.
Seeing Sayako panting heavily with sweat on her brow after filling in the dirt, Hikari did not say much, only helping wipe away her sweat.
Actually, Hikari could have directly used his cremation technique to burn Sakai Yutaka like he usually did. That was what he had planned.
But for ordinary people, a cremation technique was still too magical or eerie, and really hard to explain.
So even though he trusted Aunt Sayako very much and was willing to tell her about killing someone, it was better not to expose the cremation technique.
Hikari planned to come back alone later to dig up Sakai Yutaka's body and burn it, so he had not buried it very deep.
Naturally, Sayako did not guess Hikari's thoughts.
After successfully burying Sakai Yutaka, she let out a long sigh of relief and pulled Hikari to quickly return to the izakaya.
———
When Hikari and Sayako returned to the izakaya, it was already quite late.
A waning moon hung alone in the sky, clouds covering it, with only sparse moonlight shining down.
Because her physical stamina was not very good to begin with, and digging the pit had been too exhausting, Sayako was now completely worn out and drenched in sweat.
Hikari naturally took on the task of telling the two female clerks at the izakaya to close up and go home later.
As for Sayako, who was drenched in fragrant sweat from head to toe, she went to take a shower first.
While Sayako was showering, Hikari took the opportunity to quickly return to the burial site, dig up Sakai Yutaka's body again, and completely cremate it.
Not long after Hikari returned to the second floor of the izakaya, Sayako finished her bath and walked out of the bathroom.
Her slightly damp hair was draped loosely, her pretty face flushed red. She was wearing a black lace camisole nightdress, the smooth, silky material clinging closely to her body, perfectly highlighting her curvy figure.
That unintentional sexiness right after a bath made Hikari glance at her a few more times without thinking.
Busy drying her hair, Sayako did not notice much. She simply smiled and called out to Hikari, "Hikari-kun, you were sweating too, right? Go take a shower as well."
"Okay," Hikari replied.
After all, he had gone in and out of the woods several times, and the countryside had plenty of snakes and insects. He really should take a shower.
By the time Hikari finished bathing, some time had passed.
The night was already deep. The izakaya had long since closed, there were no pedestrians on the street, and many households had turned off their lights.
"Hikari-kun, it's already so late today. Just like yesterday, you can sleep here. I haven't put away your bedding from yesterday. You can just sleep there," Sayako said as soon as Hikari walked out of the bathroom. She was standing at the door, wearing a light sleep robe.
Hikari glanced at this extremely charming widowed aunt and felt that she seemed to have something more to say.
But it was indeed late, and sleeping here was more convenient than going back.
Hikari immediately nodded, "Alright, I'll sleep here at Aunt Sayako's place tonight."
"Mm, that's right, sleeping here with Auntie is the right choice. I'll go get you another blanket," Seeing Hikari agree, Sayako immediately beamed with joy, leaving behind a charming back view as she turned and headed toward her master bedroom.
Hikari could understand Sayako's happiness.
After all, he had killed Sakai Yutaka in the izakaya today. Someone had died. Sayako might be scared sleeping alone in the izakaya. Having him there would naturally make her feel much more at ease.
———
After returning to the guest room, Hikari lay on the bed and first sent a message to Arisa, who was still at home.
He told her that he would not be going back to sleep tonight and told her to lock the doors and windows properly.
Naturally, Arisa had no objections.
Although she probably missed him a little, Hikari had just thoroughly satisfied Arisa earlier that afternoon.
Arisa had been a bit playful and kept wanting more at the time, to the point she was probably almost worn out.
So Arisa could definitely accept Hikari staying out for the night.
Just as Hikari finished chatting with Arisa and was about to close the doors and windows and go to sleep.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Aunt Sayako?", At this moment, there should only be two people in the entire izakaya. Hikari knew it had to be Sayako outside.
Sure enough, Sayako's familiar mature, magnetic voice came from outside, "Hikari-kun, are you asleep?"
"Not yet. Auntie, do you need something?", Hikari said.
"You're not asleep, then Auntie's coming in," Sayako said.
"Okay," Hikari replied.
Sayako immediately pushed the door open and entered.
"Auntie brought you another blanket," Sayako first placed the blanket in her hands on Hikari's bed, then her shapely hips naturally sat down at the edge of the bed.
She smiled and said, "Hikari-kun, Auntie wants to talk with you tonight. Is that okay?"
Hikari smiled slightly, "Of course."
Sayako looked at Hikari's sunny and handsome smiling face and asked with some curiosity, "Hikari-kun, you actually killed someone today. Even though it was that damn Sakai Yutaka… but… were you afraid after killing him?"
Hikari smiled and said, "Afraid? Probably not. After all, that guy was planning to hurt Aunt Sayako and make a move on you."
"Killing someone like that, I wouldn't be afraid."
