''Hmm?'' The Guards looked towards the sky and saw something moving above the clouds.
''Lightning?'' The First Guard looked confused.
But then...
A streak of lightning left the sky and struck the ground in front of the Guards, which sent them flying and burnt their clothes to crisps,
The two Guards became naked with their messy hairs having a streak of lightning circling around.
The place where the lightning struck... A muscular man with short black hair appeared.
The two Guards felt their legs go weak as they fell down on the snowy ground.
Abyss clicked his tongue and said calmly, but his voice echoed in every corner of Coldland, ''He is my son-in-law; he has enough fucking status!''
The two Guards went pale and fell unconscious almost immediately.
Abyss snorted and put his hand over Ichiro's broad shoulders, ''Well then, how was the Frozen Island?''
''Boring,'' Ichiro replied with a wry smile.
''Yeah, maybe I should let you participate in my next training session.'' Abyss' face started having a sadistic smile.
Ichiro paled and shook his head, ''No thanks.''
''Pussy.'' Abyss clicked his tongue and shook his head with disappointment.
''Sorry that I am not a masochist,'' Ichiro said with dead-looking eyes.
''How do you know?'' Abyss asked and kicked the gate into pieces, ''Have you tried before?''
*BAM*
Ichiro paled and remembered the training session with Quella.
''Unfortunately, I have.''
''Tsk, fine.'' Abyss walked past the broken metal gate and turned into a streak of lightning, ''Remember our deal!''
*SWOOSH*
With those words, he disappeared.
Ichiro walked over the broken gates and walked towards the gates of Nightside Mansion.
The noise caused by Abyss caused quite a lot of attention, and a few gates were opened and the residents looked at the source of the sound, but the only thing they saw was naked Guards and a destroyed gate.
They grimaced and shouted, ''Get those naked clowns out of here! What the hell is this?!''
Ichiro heard the commotion, but soon he arrived at the gates of Nightside Mansion.
He saw his reflection on the nearby window, and he saw his messy hair. He dropped his bag on the snowy ground and used his hand to fix it slightly.
The messy hair gave him an animalistic vibe, which could be very popular among certain types of people, but he is aware that Azura isn't the biggest fan of it and likes him being tidier.
Soon, his messy hair was much better, but his bangs were slightly messy, but he couldn't do anything to those.
He grabbed his bag and opened the gates. There were already a dozen servants cleaning the snow from the yard, and once they saw Ichiro, they looked shocked but quickly bowed with respectful expressions.
Ichiro nodded to them in approval of their hard work, and soon he reached the entrance of the mansion.
He grabbed the door handle and opened it swiftly. The familiar interior of the Nightside Mansion came visible, and two different scents assaulted his nostrils.
He recognized one of the scents as Azura's.
Ichiro entered the mansion and closed the door behind him. He took off his jacket and put it on the hanger, and put his snow boots on the shoe rack.
After that, he rushed towards the upstairs, and the first place he went to was Azura's room.
He opened the door quietly and looked around her room, but there was no sign of the familiar black-haired girl.
''Is she out?'' He murmured, but then he remembered seeing a familiar pair of shoes on the shoe rack.
He closed the door and went straight towards his room. His hand touched the door handle, and a sense of warmth covered his palm.
After the door was opened, he saw a familiar-looking girl lying on his bed with her soft-looking toes fidgeting around.
She had a laptop in front of her as she was wearing her usual getup of tight t-shirt and jeans, which outlined her curves nicely.
Ichiro wondered what she was watching, but for now, he entered the room and quietly closed the door so that she won't hear.
He put the bag down on the ground and slowly approached the bed.
After reaching the bed, his movements stopped as his handsome face had a look of shock. He saw what she was watching on the laptop...
It was something that kids weren't allowed to watch.
''It looks like it feels good...'' Azura murmured with a concentrated expression and a slight hue of pink on her soft-looking cheeks.
Ichiro covered his mouth and thought, 'My innocent Azura is gone.'
But soon, a handsome smile appeared on his face as he leaned towards Azura's ear, ''What are you watching?''
''Kyaaaaa!'' Azura screamed and quickly closed the laptop. She turned her head around with teary eyes, which soon widened in shock after seeing Ichiro's smiling face.
Without even saying a word, she grabbed his head and smashed her lips with his.
''Mmm...'' Ichiro savored her tasty yet soft lips and inserted his tongue inside to start a battle of supremacy.
Azura put her legs around Ichiro's waist and used her soft hands to touch his body all around.
The battle of supremacy lasted for two minutes until they had to take a break to catch their breath.
Azura's face was rosy colored with hearts replacing her pupils.
Ichiro chuckled and pulled her body closer to his muscular chest. Her breasts smashed with his chest, making the scene erotic yet beautiful.
''You won?'' Azura asked with her long eyelashes moving gently every time she blinked.
''I did,'' Ichiro replied with a smile.
Azura smiled and kissed his lips one more time, ''Freedom?''
''Freedom.''
A smile sweet enough to melt Ichiro's heart appeared on her face, ''That's good...''
''By the way...'' An amused smile appeared on Ichiro's face, ''What were you watching?''
Azura's already rosy face turned even redder, ''U-Umm, research! That's right, we have one thing in school.'' She waved her hand and tried to avert her gaze, ''S-School thing.''
''Aha.'' Ichiro said without believing one word coming from her tiny mouth, ''Sorry for disturbing your... Researching.''
''I-It's fine...'' She blushed even more and had to hide her face in his muscular chest.
Ichiro lied down on the bed and felt his eyelashes becoming heavier.
Azura raised her head slightly and asked, ''Sleepy?''
''Yeah... I slept on a plane so I won't feel tired after coming here... But jetlag is a bitch.''
Azura grabbed the blanket and covered their bodies. She hugged his body and put her head on the same pillow with Ichiro.
''Good night.''
''Good night.''
