A while later, the night streets once again returned to a calm atmosphere.
Streetlights cast a faint yellow glow along the empty sidewalk, while a gentle night breeze carried the cool air typical of a city slowly falling asleep.
There, Kuro was walking casually with Osakabehime on his back.
The reason was simple.
Osakabehime's knees still felt weak after their earlier "activities," which had turned out to be far more "intense" than she had initially expected.
Even so, she still tried to maintain an irritated expression.
Her face was faintly red, while her arms were wrapped around Kuro's shoulders so she wouldn't fall.
"Ma-chan…" Osakabehime muttered in an annoyed yet embarrassed tone. "That's seriously too much…"
Kuro glanced slightly over his shoulder.
"You're still talking about that?"
"Of course I am!"
Osakabehime immediately protested softly while slightly lowering her head.
"How many times do you think Hime ended up 'game over' earlier?!"
Her voice grew even smaller at the end of the sentence.
"My waist still hurts, you know…"
Then she quickly glanced around in mild panic.
"And what if someone had seen us earlier?!"
Kuro let out a light chuckle.
"It's already late at night. The streets are empty," he replied casually. "Besides, didn't I say from the start I wanted to try a new, more intense genre?"
His tone was light, clearly teasing on purpose.
"Besides…" he continued, turning his head slightly, "Hime-san enjoyed it too, didn't she?"
Osakabehime froze for a moment.
Her face turned even redder, all the way to her ears.
"N-No way Hime enjoyed—"
Her sentence cut itself off.
A few seconds later, she turned her face away and pulled her hood lower to cover her cheeks.
"…A little."
Her voice was so quiet it was almost swallowed by the night wind.
Kuro let out a satisfied chuckle.
Meanwhile, Osakabehime lightly hit his shoulder in embarrassment.
"Don't laugh, Ma-chan…"
But seeing that Kuro was still trying to hold back his smile made her blush even deeper.
"Uuuh… so annoying…"
Then without warning, she suddenly bit his right shoulder quite hard.
"WOAH—?!"
Kuro's body jolted slightly.
Osakabehime was really biting him, and it definitely wasn't a gentle bite.
"Wait— that hurts?!"
Kuro nearly lost his balance for a few steps before steadying himself again.
"Hey, hey! Hime-san?!"
Meanwhile, Osakabehime was still biting his shoulder, her face completely red, like a shy cat panicking and choosing to attack instead of dealing with embarrassment.
"This is your punishment…" she mumbled through the bite. "For teasing Hime so much…"
"Are you a vampire, a fox, or a hikikomori or what?!"
Only a few seconds later did Osakabehime finally release her bite slowly.
Kuro immediately winced.
"Ow…"
He rubbed his shoulder where she had bitten him.
"That really hurt, you know?"
Osakabehime turned her face away again, pulling her hood down until it almost covered her eyes.
"Hmph."
A few seconds of silence passed as they continued walking.
"…Sorry."
Her voice was very small, almost swallowed by the night breeze if they hadn't been so close.
Kuro stayed silent for a moment before letting out a soft chuckle again.
"No need to apologize."
"Huh?"
"Because your reaction was cute."
"MA-CHAN?!"
Osakabehime immediately hit his shoulder again in embarrassment, while Kuro just kept laughing softly as they continued walking, making the once-silent night feel much warmer than before.
***
After arriving home, Kuro first carried Osakabehime to her room so she could rest properly.
Only after making sure everything had calmed down did he leave the room.
However, instead of heading to his own room to sleep, Kuro had to deal with Kama and Tamamo, who had clearly been waiting to claim their usual "share" with triumphant expressions.
Now, inside a dark room lit only by the dim glow of a bedside lamp, Kuro sat casually at the edge of the bed.
"Mmmh... nnn... lick... haah... lick..."
Right in front of him, Tamamo crouched down, her two pink tails swaying gently behind her body.
A sly smile appeared on her lips.
And the thin boundary between them slowly opened, allowing a warm sensation to move like a serpent lazily coiled around its favorite branch.
Its movements were slow.
Rising gradually.
Then descending again.
Occasionally, the tip moved mischievously toward the peak, as though teasing its favorite prey in a repetitive game that somehow became even more dangerous because of its relaxed rhythm.
Tamamo looked up at Kuro through half-lidded eyes.
"Hehe~" she giggled softly. "My husband looks... slurp.. rather tired.. lick... tonight... yet this little serpent... hnn... still seems quite energetic, doesn't it?"
Kuro did not answer immediately.
Because at that same moment, Kama slowly sat beside him and wrapped herself around Kuro from the side like a small serpent seeking warmth.
"Mm... nnn... haah..."
Their faces were so close that their breaths brushed against one another, until even the distance between them no longer seemed to matter.
Within that thin boundary, something moved slowly, resembling two serpents dancing beneath the dim glow of the night.
Pulling.
Coiling.
Then slowly releasing again.
Repeating the same lazy rhythm that somehow only became more tempting over time.
Meanwhile, Kuro's left hand moved across a bed of damp petals that seemed as though they had just been kissed by midnight rain.
His movements were calm.
Yet completely controlling.
Like a serpent leisurely toying with its favorite prey without any rush to finish the game.
And as a response to Tamamo's teasing from earlier, Kuro's right hand rose to touch Tamamo's head.
Then slowly took control of her movements.
Cruel.
Steady.
Almost like the relentless motion of a machine piston continuing without mercy.
Tamamo's eyes widened slightly.
Her tails stiffened for a brief moment.
But gradually, her gaze returned to a half-lidded haze as she allowed herself to sink into the rhythm Kuro created.
"Mmgrgh... hnn... ngah..."
Not long after, Kuro felt that faint, overly familiar sensation beginning to rise once again.
A sign that was becoming impossible to suppress.
He immediately pulled Tamamo closer.
And in the very next second, Tamamo felt a warm flow moving through a forbidden path that should never have been touched, like a spring of life suddenly overflowing from beneath the earth.
Her body tensed sharply.
"Mmh—?!"
A muffled sound escaped her throat.
Yet she did not pull away.
She simply remained there, trembling faintly as the overwhelming warmth continued to flow faster than she could properly handle.
"Mnnh... ngh..."
Her breathing turned uneven.
Her eyes slowly lost focus little by little, unable to fully process the unbearable heat filling her senses all at once.
Kuro could feel her fingers weakly gripping his clothes tighter.
"Kh... mmh...!"
Tamamo tried to say something, but the words dissolved into another soft, muffled sound instead.
Until at last, a small portion of that warmth slipped past the space between their lips, dripping slowly like night dew falling from leaves after a long rain.
"Cough— mm...!"
Tamamo finally pulled back just enough to breathe, her cheeks flushed deeply while she struggled to regain steady breaths.
"Hah... hah... y-you..."
Her voice came out fragile and broken between breaths.
"...too much..."
While Tamamo was still recovering her breathing on the other side of the bed, Kuro slowly guided Kama down onto the mattress, her legs hanging slightly off the edge.
Kama looked slightly surprised by the sudden movement at first.
But only for a moment.
Because a few seconds later, a faint smile returned to her lips.
Her signature crimson gaze—like that of a predator—slowly looked up at Kuro from below.
Calm.
Teasing.
Dangerous.
Her right hand slowly rose to touch Kuro's cheek, her fingers gentle like a serpent testing the warmth of its prey before coiling tighter around it.
"You're quite aggressive tonight, Master-san..." she said softly. "Even after playing with Osakabehime for so long earlier?"
The corner of Kama's lips lifted slightly.
"How greedy."
Kuro merely responded with a crooked smile.
"Be quiet," he answered casually. "I'm not greedy. I just want to finish everything at once."
He let out a small sigh before continuing,
"Handling two or three Servants at the same time is exhausting, you know?"
"And somehow, you and Tamamo become a strange combination whenever things turn like this."
Kama fell silent for a brief moment.
Then a soft, sweet laugh escaped her lips within the dark room.
"Hehe..."
Her fingers slowly traced along Kuro's jawline.
"Master-san hasn't realized it yet?"
Her crimson eyes narrowed slightly.
"That's because both of us are snakes."
"One enjoys slowly coiling around its prey while toying with it..."
"And the other prefers injecting venom little by little until escape becomes impossible."
She gently pulled Kuro's face slightly closer.
Their warm breaths mixed together once more.
"And the funny part..." she whispered softly, "...is that you willingly walked straight into the nest of two serpents at once."
