Takanashi Rikka was a little dazed by Kanzaki Saku's string of compliments, and her sobbing even stopped for a moment.
The setting sun? The rising sun? Was the Nightmare Lord acknowledging my potential, believing I would eventually surpass him?
Could this be that unique, mutual admiration between the strong that transcends their positions after a fated duel?
To be honest, it was hard for Rikka to feel any real animosity toward Kanzaki Saku. First, he was an extremely good-looking boy, which was a plus in any worldview.
Second, Kanzaki Saku was the first and only 'kin' she had ever met who could understand her and possessed superpowers.
Moreover, Kanzaki Saku hadn't done anything irredeemably bad. From any angle, Rikka had no reason to dislike Kanzaki Saku.
Rikka had never considered that she would be defeated. Her original plan was to beat Kanzaki Saku, make him her underling, and slowly help him turn over a new leaf.
At that time, they would become partners fighting side by side. Perhaps through their daily interactions, they could even write a beautiful story of a reformed demon lord and a hero girl...
Winning meant gaining a kindred spirit, friendship, and even love—it was all too wonderful. It was precisely for this reason that she could not accept the result of her defeat.
It meant that the friendship that had been within her grasp had slipped away, and the psychological gap caused her to break down in tears.
But Kanzaki Saku's flattery made Rikka feel that there might still be a chance.
Perhaps this wasn't an end, but a beginning in another form?
Before she had time to think it through, Kanzaki Saku had already begun his next move. He produced a soft, black ribbon from somewhere and blindfolded Rikka's eyes.
"Eh? N-Nightmare Lord? What art thou..." Her vision suddenly obscured, Rikka squirmed in a bit of a panic.
The loss of sight, especially since her exhaustion prevented her from using the Tyrant's Eye, made Rikka feel extremely insecure.
"This is a necessary sealing ritual. The power of your Tyrant's Eye is too wild. After such an intense battle, your energy circuits are extremely unstable. Without guidance and sealing, there's a risk of your power running rampant and turning on its master." Kanzaki Saku described the kinky foreplay with a perfectly straight face.
Rikka was half-convinced, but the person before her was a powerful being who had easily defeated her. Perhaps he really did know some forbidden knowledge she didn't?
Recalling that this was indeed the first time she had pushed her mental energy to such a limit, a fear of the unknown made her choose to comply.
"I-I see..." Rikka mumbled, obediently stopping her struggles. "It's to stabilize my power..."
"That's right." Kanzaki Saku was satisfied to feel the small body in his arms relax. This was a good sign.
Blindfolding her was partly to enhance the mood, and partly to make it easier for Rikka to accept some of the subsequent actions.
"Next is the 'energy channeling' phase." Kanzaki Saku's hands began to wander, roaming over her youthful, yet surprisingly developed, budding body.
"Relax, feel my energy flowing into your circuits..."
Rikka felt waves of unfamiliar, tingling sensations spreading from where Kanzaki Saku's palms touched her, making her tremble lightly.
This feeling is so strange! Is this the energy of a demon lord? So scorching, so aggressive!
It was completely different from the cold, dark energy she had imagined!
"Mmm... Nightmare Lord, it seems thou art not so bad after all..." she couldn't help but say, her voice tinged with panting.
"Of course. I'm known as the male Bodhisattva incarnate!" Kanzaki Saku spouted nonsense without batting an eye, his hands moving with increasing skill, precisely finding the sensitive spots that would elicit a reaction from her budding body.
He began to press and caress, sometimes lightly, sometimes heavily.
"Bear with it. This is to widen your energy circuits and solidify your foundation."
"W-widen the circuits..." Rikka bit her lower lip, trying to endure the increasingly intense, strange sensation that made her whole body go limp.
Blindfolded, Rikka could feel a scorching energy indeed circulating within her. Everywhere it passed, her meridians felt like they were being ignited, making her a little dizzy.
This must be the demon lord's unique, profound cultivation secret! Although the process is a bit hard to bear, to become stronger, to one day truly defeat him, this sacrifice is necessary!
Kanzaki Saku looked at the confused yet alluring expression on the girl's face in his arms, and the sense of pleasure in his heart was about to overflow.
This feeling of tricking a high school girl into a tizzy while also getting to enjoy her thoroughly was simply too wonderful!
"Wait... this isn't right... S-stop! I... I feel deep inside my body... I want to..." Rikka, who had been trying hard to endure, suddenly began to resist.
"Want what?" Kanzaki Saku asked patiently, but he didn't stop his hands because of her protest, instead going even deeper.
"I want to... pee (in a small voice)..." Rikka said shyly, turning her head away despite being blindfolded.
Although her voice was quiet, Kanzaki Saku still heard it, so he began to explain.
"This is normal. My energy has circulated through your body and brought out the excess impurities. So don't resist, it's better to just let it happen naturally!"
As he spoke, Kanzaki Saku held Rikka up in a posture similar to helping a baby urinate, aiming her at the ancient cherry blossom tree that had witnessed their battle, while the movements of his hands began to accelerate.
"Mmm... Mmm... Mmm!" After hearing Kanzaki Saku's explanation, Rikka's psychological burden was greatly reduced. She stopped resisting and silently endured as it built up, then released it all in a satisfying flow.
A beautiful arc was drawn, and the ancient cherry blossom tree received a gift from nature.
"I recall we had an agreement that the loser would form an eternal Contract with the victor, right? Now, it's time to place my brand on little Rikka."
Kanzaki Saku turned the limp Rikka around, having her straddle his lap to face him.
His fingers gently brushed over the place where her sorrow had flowed like a river.
"Eternal Contract... A brand?" Rikka's body stiffened. She seemed to recall something like that.
But at the time, she had thought that after she won, she could magnanimously waive this condition to start off on a good foot with her future underling, Kanzaki Saku.
"That's right. In today's battle, you were glorious in defeat. I must give you the highest level of treatment." Kanzaki Saku said with a solemn tone, spouting nonsense while enjoying the exquisite sensation at his fingertips.
