333 The wild demon
[Now that’s an appealing slogan.]
“Please stop. This lion doesn’t mind your words, haha. ” Vincent joked.
The builders and architect stayed for a few more minutes to explain their work in detail before deciding to leave.
They explained how the mansion was completely repaired, the hole in the inner stone wall patched and the outer stone wall built, the workshop constructed with all the necessary tools sponsored by the Sunrise family, and the small stable Vincent thought was a large latrine at the edge of the property restored.
Lilith managed to say “Thank you” before Vincent led the men to the gate. He thanked them again for their outstanding work and saw them leave.
[My mate... it seems my time is over... the sun is almost gone, and the food is being prepared.] Lupa followed Vincent a couple of meters far. Her tail was down. It was easy to tell she was unhappy with her date day ending soon.
“Oh, Lupa, you are awake. I asked Sakura to let you rest, but the noise must have woken you up.” Vincent approached Lupa and lowered on his knee. He brushed her fur and continued, “It was a relaxing day, Lupa. I think your date was the best. Thank you for letting me take it easy for once.”
Lupa wagged her tail and licked his face. [Best girl Lupa takes care of her mate, hehe.] She slightly raised a smile.
Vincent and Lupa spent more time together relaxing beside an assortment of flowers before Plow rushed to inform them dinner was ready.
.....
After dinner and some more time with Lupa in the guest hall, Sakura approached or, more precisely, was pushed by Ester and Lilith.
Vincent raised his gaze and saw Sakura blushing and acting nervous. The tall Oni looked cute.
Lupa sighed when Ester pointed with her head to leave. Lupa followed Ester and Lilith, leaving Vincent and Sakura alone in the guest hall.
[How kind of them to deliver Sakura to us, hehe.]
“It feels strange right? Every day, a new experience, a new event, a new connection.” Vincent stood up and approached Sakura. “Let’s go to rest. The time to choose how to spend your time starts now.”
Vincent headed to the bedroom, and Sakura followed him at a snail’s pace. Sakura couldn’t believe she would be in a room with a man alone.
No male demon liked how she looked while living with her father and brothers. Now a male who she loves and he loves her back was going to spend private time together.
*Two hours later*
“Loud noise stopped” *Pho* “Plow thinks bed is ready.” Plow lazily rolled from the pillow placed in the corridor and approached the door.
*Pho?* “Plow feels warm already.” Plow used her trait to extend her tails and open the door. The doorknob was warm, and the door was as well.
*Whoosh* Faint green steam exited from the door. Plow fell on her bottom from surprise. She looked at the window, and it was open, but the summer breeze wasn’t too helpful to change the warm temperature in the room.
Plow entered the bedroom, and she couldn’t believe what her eyes were seeing. It was like a storm passed through.
Fallen chairs were lying here and there. Clothes and sheets everywhere. A pillow was even on the chandelier.
However, that was the start. Her eyes also saw picture frames fallen, the wardrobe moved by about a meter, and the desk without makeup was covered in scratches as if a cat sharpened its claws on it.
*Gulp* Plow cautiously approached the bed. She slowly climbed the bedsheet and soon saw Vincent and Sakura sleeping. The moonlight shined on their wet glistening faces. Sakura had a satisfied face, and Vincent looked as if he was exhausted to the brink of death.
Plow walked on Vincent and rested on his stomach. *Pho?* “Bed is so warm today. Plow is... going to...” *Yawn* “sleep...”
*Day 73*
Morning arrived, yet one resident in the Lionheart mansion remained sleeping for more hours than usual. One, two, ten, twenty... no nudge on his shoulder could wake Vincent up.
“Is... Vincent... broken?” Vincent heard someone say as he started waking up later.
Vincent squinted his eyes open and noticed his harem surrounded him. Iris was spreading cool liquid on his body and checking his condition. Ester, Lupa, and Lilith cleaned the bedroom and placed everything back in their place.
In the corner of the bedroom was Sakura. She was sitting on a chair as if she was given a punishment and ashamed of what she had done.
[Rough night, hehe. How do you feel after you bedded all your women with a physical body in this bedroom?]
“Ugh.” Vincent rose upwards and leaned his back on the headrest. His body was sore yet cool. He looked down and saw his body covered in a greenish ointment made of herbs.
“Vincent is up.” Iris and Lupa said at the same time.
“This will help you recover from soreness quicker. I think.” Iris said. She kept tending to Vincent while Ester, Lupa, and Lilith approached the bed.
Vincent had an idea of why Sakura was in a corner. He, after all, heard one of the girls ask if he was broken. “Don’t blame Sakura too much.” He said.
“But... but I thought my mate broke. ” Lupa said first. Lupa was worried like everyone else, yet such words were like a knife to Sakura’s heart.
Ester pulled Lupa’s ear and lectured, “I told you to stop saying that word. You know already how Vincent can heal himself if” *cough* Ester lightly blushed and continued, “get a little rough.”
“Think on the bright side, my sisters. Sakura can help our man have more endurance.” Lilith said with a pair of blushed cheeks, and her eyes locked on Vincent as if she wanted to eat him alive.
“Ahem.” Ester cleared her throat and tried to regain control of the situation. There were many different emotions in one place, yet Vincent didn’t talk badly about Sakura.
“Vincent overexerted himself by what we have seen, but we can’t judge what our sister prefers to do. Let’s leave Vincent in our sister Iris’s hands and spend our day as if nothing happened. Sakura can stay here since today is her day.” Ester said. She held Lupa and Lilith’s hands and pulled them to the door.
Iris stopped and said, “I am done.” She followed three out of the bedroom.
Sakura was left in the room alone with Vincent. She stood up and approached Vincent. “I... I didn’t think....”
“Haha, ouch my ribs.” Vincent acted in pain and peeked at Sakura to see her reaction.
Sakura was on the brink of tears, and hearing how Vincent was injured because of her made the tears unable to stay contained. She sat on the bed and started crying.
“No-no don’t cry! I was joking! ” He quickly revealed it was an act to tease her.
Vincent felt bad for the inappropriate joke. He crawled beside her and gently patted her back.
“Don’t take Lupa’s words to heart. I broke my body so many times that this is nothing. Furthermore, every start is difficult, but what comes afterward becomes easier.” Vincent said.
Vincent hoped the reactions Sakura saw from Ester, Lupa, Iris, and Lilith wouldn’t hinder the ability to get accustomed to her new life.
[It takes two to tango as they say. But this was an entertaining morning to see.]
[Sakura thought you died and went to call the others. Plow started crying and saying stuff like my bed is gone. The look on Ester, Lupa, Iris, and Lilith’s faces was priceless.]
[Ester worried you might need to use a minor heal after Sakura is done with you every time. Lupa had to be persuaded that you aren’t a toy that breaks easily. Iris immediately started first aid.]
[As for Lilith... the look in her eyes was as if she was reliving what happened at the scene of the crime. The drool on her lips didn’t escape my assertive gaze, hehe.]
-Thanks for the summery. More details than I want to hear, as always.-
[Yeah, no problemo. But I wonder what kind of date you can have now.]
[This is an exciting day to see, hehe.]
-...-
Vincent slowly got out of bed and wore his shirt. He extended his hand and said, “Could my lovey girl help me walk. I am a little bit sore.” *Crack* “Oh! That was nothing.” He said after straightening his back.
Sakura looked at Vincent after hearing his back make a noise. She wiped her face and helped Vincent go to the kitchen.
Yula welcomed them and gave the two of them a pitcher full of freshly squeezed fruit.
Vincent devoured down the nutritious drink with a smile. It tasted great, and it was difficult to stop until it was empty.
“I thought the two of you were in trouble or something like that. I heard the words Vincent, Sakura, and broken, but Vincent looks like he didn’t rest well at night while Sakura is acting as if she did something she shouldn’t have.” Yula turned her gaze at Sakura and continued with a smile, “I wonder why.”
Sakura blushed and started drinking to cover her face.
“How about we go to check the workshop? How about the owner of the workshop gives me a private tour?” Vincent tried to change the subject.
Yula took the cup from Sakura’s hands and said, “You better hurry, dear. The others might come here to look for the two of you lovebirds.”
Yula winked at Sakura and added, “Take your man to your personal lovenest.”
