Chapter 58: Afterglow
The date Kir had with Kordia and Rain turned out so wonderfully Kir's week passed in a haze of bliss. He felt oddly proud of himself for being able to work with Rain to grow Kordia's magic enough that she grew two of her potential nine tails.
Even though he was pushed into dueling three people in his same-year group - in separate incidents - he added three more victory stripes to his tail with barely any trouble.
He was more concerned about what he could get away with when it came to him, Kordia, and Rain's newfound intimacy, which often saw him either pinned or pinning one or the other or both to the wall as they made out - though in Kordia's case some vertical assistance was required for her to pin or be pinned.
Then came the night Stella fluttered into the window and transformed into her usual self.
"Hey boss," she said, looking utterly exhausted as she plopped her cheek against his bed.
"Are you alright?" Kir asked.
"Yeah... I just lost track of time writing... Sequels are hard... Can I get some mana?" she looked up at him with pleading eyes.
"Of course," Kir said lightly, beckoning her up for a kiss on the forehead.
As soon as he delivered the kiss, Stella shuddered, a sound vibrating out of her throat as she held herself before-
"You got fucking laid?!" she shrieked.
Kir instantly panicked, "Quiet! We're in a dorm, remember?"
