I Own A Brothel In Another World (Ch. 1-196)

Chapter 100 - Danse Macabre

I glance back over my shoulder to locate the source of the paralyzing killing intent. As expected, it's coming straight from Shino.

She has her head cast down, effectively hiding her expression behind her black bangs, but the ominous aura seeping out of her body and her hand resting on the hilt of her katana should be enough for anyone to guess what her face looks like at the moment.

Even the others seem to be surprised by the clear hostility she is emanating, especially Ghilerie. I get it. You wouldn't really expect such an adorable girl to assume such a mood, but unfortunately, these idiots made a grave mistake.

I turn my eyes to the front and sigh to myself. "Fine. We'll do it your way. Don't come crying to me later. I warned you."

Shino walks closer and stops by my side with a serious expression. "I'm going to erase them from existence."

"Want to do it together?" I ask.

She glances up at me, relaxing her face a little and showing a faint smile. "I would love to, Sensei!"

I smile back and reach out with my hand, placing it on Shino's cheek. She blushes a bit and rubs it into my palm. We both lean towards each other and share a brief but affectionate kiss. Shino closes her eyes to enjoy the moment before we part ways.

"Oi! Did you forget about u—"

"Teffith, please make sure none of them gets any ideas about the others. Ghilerie, assist her if you could. You guys, leave this to us."

I give everyone simple instructions and my demi-human companions nod, readying their weapons. Paul's party looks a tad confused by my sudden declaration but he doesn't show any signs of objection.

We share a quick thought with Shino and I quickly bring up my skills to activate a certain ability. After my mind receives a brief flash of understanding, I nod at her and we both look forward at the perturbed adventurers. They have figured out that something is going to happen and started preparing themselves for battle.

The moment I activate Shino's borrowed skill, my body gets filled with a wave of pleasant energy. My skin starts itching a little and I notice with the corner of my eye how it changes colours from the usual one into a silvery shade. Two slightly painful points surface on my forehead and I can tell without looking that those are definitely Oni-like horns.

After all the changes take place, my mana spikes up and creates a small explosion. Exactly at the same time, another one occurs to my right and the two forces clash with each other, causing the nearby grass to shake wildly and our clothes to flutter.

Glancing towards it, I meet Shino's eyes, which are now glowing charmingly and emanating an intimidating aura with their vertical pupils and dark grey sclera. Just like mine, her skin changed too and turned almost pitch black. Onyx horns decorate the sides of her head, rising vertically in a demonic style.

Darkness and Light. Yin and Yang. As weird as it sounds, just looking at her makes me feel like we complete each other. Judging by Shino's gaze and the emotions flowing into me through our bond, I'm sure she feels the same. What an incredible ability her Demonification is.

"What the fuck?! Those guys were demons!" someone shouts amongst the adventurers.

"Don't just stand and watch! Kill them!" the leader commands while pointing his longsword at us.

We completely ignore the cacophony of shouts and screams as they all start rushing towards our position with their weapons raised and turn towards each other. Without any words, we step closer and enter a hug, staring deep into each other's eyes as our foreheads rest against each other.
