My offering (Dragon God Tsukasa x Tactician Rui) (Ruikasa smut)

Chapter 6 - Another death

(Rui's POV)

I cleaned myself up, got dressed and let Nene in

As I sipped tea and chatted with Nene, her face went from calm and annoyed to terrified

Before I could figure out what's going on, I've been stabbed in the back

Great, another assassination

The assassin hurriedly fled while Nene looked at me, terrified

"It's fine"

Nene
It's not fine!
You're going to die!

"Didn't the same thing happen earlier today?"

Nene
You sure you're going to be fine though?

"I have nine lives, just like a cat"

"And since I died twice, I have seven left"

The dagger disappeared as I spoke, and the number 7 appeared before me

"See?"

Nene
Oh my
You're blessed by the Dragon God

After we chatted for a while, I started to feel my body temperature rising

I yawned

"I'll go to sleep now"

I lied, all I needed is some time to be alone

I went to my bedroom and made sure nobody was around

"Tsukasa-kun, can you come over here?"

He appeared in front of me

Tsukasa
Yeah, I saw what happened
You can't sleep in that realm this time, it's night here
Unfortunately can't take you back here if you fall asleep
So we have to make do with your room

"What if someone finds us here?"

Tsukasa
Wait til I come back

He vanished

(Tsukasa's POV)

I roamed freely through the place, everyone's asleep, everyone except one person

I feel like I've seen her somewhere, thought it was centuries ago...

I think the Serpent Goddess?

But I can't seem to remember her name, she might've been dead for a while, or not

I do remember that we do used to talk a lot with a kitsune named Emu, who is also a shrine maiden

(Flashback)

"A great fortune, today is my lucky day"

???
Tsukasa, what do you consider lucky anyways?

"I don't know, but the prophecy did go really far into the future"

???
What? About you falling in love with a human?

Emu
That would be wonderhoy if Tsukasa-kun did find his lover

???
It also says that I will work under the same human in my human disguise
Whatever, I get to know them first

(End of flashback)

Does that mean...

The one they're referring to is Rui?

Right, why else would he have such an unusual side effect?
