Chapter 451 - 451: Late Night Fun, Haruno and Mrs. Yukinoshita can't sleep

Mikoto Misaka: "That picture...are you sure she didn't die? @Rei Ao, what are you even doing to her, you creep?!"

Rei Ao: "Don't go around accusing me. I haven't abused Mabel in the slightest. It's just the Taichi method, that's all."

Rei Ao: "And look, Mabel's still alive and kicking, being her usual silly self."

Mikoto Misaka: "..."

She had no response. But still...what kind of weird phrasing was that?

"Yukino, I'm telling the truth, right? You were there that day—you heard it all. I didn't do anything to abuse Mabel. The moment we started, she was screaming her head off, so what was I supposed to do?"

"..."

Yukino was speechless. "Is this really the right time to talk about that?"

"Why not? I think it's perfect timing."

They were both lying under the covers, after all, and nothing set the mood better for raising Yukino's temperature than remarks like these. Yukino's cheeks were already glowing with embarrassment—just the effect Rei Ao wanted.

He grinned mischievously.

"I just solved your Mabel problem for you, so shouldn't you show me some appreciation, Yukino?"

He began making his next move. Yukino's eyes widened, her face burning.

"Wait—don't—!"

...

Because the window in Mrs. Yukinoshita's room was destroyed, she ended up sharing a bed with Haruno for the night.

"..."

When the lights were out, the room was pitch dark. Mother and daughter lay on the bed, back to back, unable to sleep.

First, because it had been ages since they'd been this close physically. Haruno couldn't recall a time in her memory when she and her mother felt truly near. Under normal circumstances, they hardly ever interacted in such an intimate way, so this was inevitably awkward.

Second, the attack from that monster earlier still haunted them. Close your eyes, and it's there—fresh as can be.

To top it off, both had serious thoughts swirling in their heads.

Mrs. Yukinoshita was worried that now that Rei Ao had discovered her secret, he might threaten her again. She couldn't help but overthink. If he really wanted to blackmail or intimidate her with brute force or some whim, he certainly had the power. If he had an odd sense of fun, it wouldn't be impossible...

Once she fell quiet, her imagination started running wild: reenacting scenes from a trashy TV drama—"Madam, you wouldn't want to..." And then to recall that Rei Ao had done exactly that sort of threatening was unnerving.

Next to her, Haruno lay on her side, biting her thumb in agitation.

Rei Ao... Shizuka... Yukino...

She kept replaying the connections among those three. Should she call Miss Shizuka and get the full story? Maybe...maybe she misunderstood?

They were both lost in complicated thoughts, when—

"Yaaaah!"

"???"

"!!!"

Their eyes went round.

A scream! A wail!

It was Yukino!

Being the doting big sister she was, Haruno immediately sat up.

"Another demon?!"

Still hypersensitive from earlier, she jumped out of bed, about to dash out and rescue Yukino, who she assumed was being attacked again.

But her mother called out in a firm voice:

"Haruno, stop!"

"Mother! Yukino's in danger!"

She was in no mood to listen, almost yanking the door open.

Click!

Mrs. Yukinoshita switched on the light. Haruno froze when she saw her mother looking at her gravely.

"Haruno, I taught you that no matter what happens, you have to remain calm at the most basic level."

"But—"

"No buts!"

"Quiet down and listen. Yukino is in no danger. She just...became an adult."

As she said this, Mrs. Yukinoshita's expression flickered with all sorts of complex emotions.

"Huh?"

Haruno blinked. Her quick mind immediately caught her mother's meaning. She did as told and strained her ears. Soon enough, her face went bright red.

The unmistakable sounds left no doubt. Yukino was fine—just...going through a "mature moment," as her mother had phrased it. Haruno had been far too jumpy.

Now they both stood there, unsure what to say. Haruno was worried over how quickly Yukino had "given herself away." Mrs. Yukinoshita was dismayed at how casually Yukino and Rei Ao were going about it—despite the mother and sister being right in the house. They were also both astonished at the... intensity of it all.

A long, embarrassed silence settled between them.

Finally, click, Mrs. Yukinoshita turned off the light again. In darkness, with no way to see each other's expressions, the tension lifted a little.

"Haruno, try to sleep. You must be tired."

"...Mm."

Haruno climbed back onto the bed. Both agreed, silently, not to bring up Yukino's situation. If they just hurried to sleep, maybe in the morning it would feel like nothing had happened.

But that turned out to be... terrifyingly naive. They assumed that those initial moans were Yukino's peak. They had no idea she'd been deliberately restraining her power. Once she gave up holding back, it turned into an earth-shattering affair—especially combined with Rei Ao's potency.

Their minds reeled with one single impression:

Heaven-shaking, earth-shattering.

...

5 AM.

"Rei Ao...p-please go..."

With the last of her strength, Yukino tried to push him away. The fact that all this happened under her family's roof—right next to her sister's bedroom—nearly made her want to die on the spot. If people found out he spent the whole night here, she wouldn't want to live anymore.

Rei Ao, sensing her apprehension, relented for the time being. He gave her sweat-dampened forehead a gentle kiss.

"Goodnight, Yukino."

"Mm~"

Yukino's response was a soft, kittenish purr. Rei Ao forced himself to leave her bedroom. Though he'd intended to stop at the guest room, he ended up walking right past it, continuing through the hall to the living room instead.

The living room lights were off, everything dim. Yet Rei Ao spoke:

"Sis-in-law, it's not even dawn yet. Why're you sitting here in the dark instead of sleeping?"

"..."

There was a pause, and then Haruno's voice cut through the blackness.

"Heh, my dear brother-in-law, you don't think your late-night ruckus was a bit much?"

Though her tone was amused, an unmistakable chill seeped through her words. Clearly she hadn't slept a wink.

She only had one pair of earplugs, which she'd given to her mother. And that racket—human cries, the shaking walls and floor—was more than an ordinary person could tolerate.

Let alone the fact that Haruno was stewing in bitterness, watching the precious treasure she'd guarded for so long get snatched right under her nose by this... unstoppable force.

Regulating her emotions, Haruno remained seated on the sofa, staring into the dark where she couldn't actually see Rei Ao. Suddenly, she said:

"Rei Ao-kun, would you mind having a chat with me?"
