Chapter 244: 244: Poor Male Hyenas
Japanese summer festivals were lively events filled with food stalls, traditional games, colorful yukata, and crowds of people enjoying the warm evening air. Lanterns lined the streets, the smell of grilled food drifted through the festival grounds, and children ran around with prizes clutched in their hands.This was the impression Ravel formed during her first festival. It was fun and joyful, and it felt absolutely wonderful when she was with her beloved man.
"Yusuke-sama," Ravel murmured as she followed closely behind him. He pulled her along by the hand through the bustling crowd. She gazed up at him with an obsessive look of pure infatuation, her eyes glowing intensely, her lips slightly parted as she licked them, and her cheeks flushed a deep red.
Every couple who passed by couldn’t help but glance at them once, twice, sometimes more. The women in particular would blush when they caught sight of her expression. She was giving her man the kind of look that every woman understood.
"From this spot, we’ll be able to get a better view of the fireworks," Yusuke said as they reached what looked like the secluded back of a mountain. He turned to glance at her, but the moment their eyes met, he fell speechless again.
Ravel was staring at him with raw hunger, as if she could barely hold herself back from pouncing on him right then and there.
As far as he could remember, throughout their unplanned festival date, Yusuke hadn’t actually done anything to deliberately ’provoke’ her, yet Ravel seemed to become ’provoked’ whenever she was near him.
"Hmm~! It’s a good place, Yusuke-sama," Ravel looked around and said in a very satisfied voice. Whether she was referring to the location for watching the fireworks or something else entirely was unknown.
After taking out a rug and spreading it on the ground, Yusuke and Ravel sat down together. For a while, neither of them spoke.
Ravel leaned against him, resting her head on his shoulder as she quietly watched the scenery before them. Lantern lights glowed in the distance, casting a warm atmosphere over the festival grounds. From time to time, she could also sense couples slipping away into secluded spots, doing the sort of things couples usually did in situations like this.
"Yusuke-sama, thank you," Ravel suddenly whispered. She slipped her hand into his and intertwined her fingers with his. "Today was fun. It’s been a long time since I’ve had this much fun."
"That’s a relief. I was honestly worried you’d get bored," Yusuke said with a light chuckle.
He had never planned on going on a date with her. In fact, when she had "accidentally" run into him earlier, it was obvious that it hadn’t been an accident at all. Ravel had been stalking him for quite some time, patiently waiting for an opportunity to approach him.
Still, Yusuke didn’t mind.
"I’ll never get bored being with you, Yusuke-sama." Ravel shook her head seriously. Then she lifted her head and looked him directly in the eyes. Her bright blue eyes held a trace of uncertainty as she spoke in a slightly dejected tone, "I thought you didn’t like being with me. I was always worried that you still hated me for what I did back then."
She was referring to what she, Eleonora, and Isabella had done while he was unconscious. Although Yusuke had told her that he forgave her, she often felt that he didn’t give her as much attention as he did to women like Tsubaki, Rias, Aika, and the others.
