"Huh?!!!" Tenraku couldn't believe his ears. Did Kuroka just suggest that he practice abstinence? "Is that the simplest solution?"
"Yes, it's the easiest method, nyaa. As long as you refrain from engaging in those intimate activities that stimulate Shirone, her symptoms won't reappear," Kuroka replied confidently. "Red Dragon Emperor, for Shirone's sake, can't you abstain for a few years?"
Tenraku's face turned dark when he heard that. He practically had intimate moments with Rias and the others every night. If he truly followed Kuroka's advice and abstained for several years, he might as well be dead.
"Kuroka, how about considering another approach?" Rias, with a slightly flushed face, suggested. Even Xenovia and Irina nodded in agreement. Clearly, the idea of Tenraku abstaining was not acceptable to them.
"That would be my only option." With a sigh, Tenraku expressed his exasperation. He didn't appreciate being labeled as selfish when it came to Koneko-chan.
"Don't think that only you care about Koneko-chan. She's an important member of our family as well. I'll find a solution for her," Tenraku said firmly, giving Kuroka a stern look.
"Oh… Do you have a plan?" Kuroka seemed to show some interest, and Rias and her group also looked at Tenraku curiously.
"In the end, Koneko-chan is displaying these symptoms because she's been stimulated. If we can satisfy her both physically and emotionally, these symptoms should naturally disappear." Tenraku stroked his chin, and a glint of wisdom shone in his eyes.
"Now, Shirone is still young. You better not think of engaging in any inappropriate activities with her," Kuroka warned, raising an eyebrow.
"Who said we had to do that? You don't have to go that far to satisfy a woman. There are countless methods," Tenraku said confidently, his lips curling up slightly.
Rias and her group instantly understood what Tenraku meant, and their faces turned crimson. Kuroka, being sharp-minded, also grasped the implication but immediately rejected it, saying, "I disagree. What if you can't control yourself with Shirone?"
"Kuroka, are you doubting me? I said I wouldn't cross that line," Tenraku replied, his voice growing cold. At his current level of power, he was almost at the peak of the Demon King class, bordering on transcender. Even the slightest release of his aura made Kuroka's face pale, and her heart race.
However, Kuroka clenched her silver teeth and continued to gaze at Tenraku. "I still don't trust it. Unless I'm there to watch, I won't let you be alone with Shirone to engage in such activities!"
Although Kuroka knew she couldn't match Tenraku's power, Shirone was someone she was determined to protect at all costs. This was her unwavering stance.
Tension filled the room. Rias and her group stayed silent, unsure of how to intervene, while Tenraku and Kuroka engaged in a silent standoff. Finally, Tenraku gave in.
"If you want to watch, then watch. As long as you can handle it."
An awkward silence fell over the room. Tenraku couldn't help but feel irritated. He decided to let Kuroka watch if that's what she wanted. He would deal with her later if she embarrassed him.
"Hehehe, then it's settled, nyaa."
"Red Dragon Emperor, Shirone and I will be waiting in the room for you."
"Koneko-Chan's estrus period has already been suppressed, hasn't it?"
"I just wanted you to test the effectiveness, nyaa. If it doesn't work, we won't use this method in the future."
Tenraku found Kuroka surprisingly reasonable at times and silently gave her a nod of approval. However, in the next moment, he realized he had made a grave mistake when he noticed Rias and her girls shooting him sharp, accusing glances.
That damned Catwoman had dared to set him up! Although they all knew that Tenraku was trying to help Koneko, Rias and her group were not ones to shy away from jealousy.
It took a lot of effort from Tenraku to pacify this group of vinegar jars. He felt utterly exhausted and couldn't help but curse Kuroka inwardly. She shouldn't have given him this chance, or he would make her regret it.
Time was running late, and Rias and her girls had already gone back to their rooms to rest. Tenraku got up and made his way to Kuroka and Koneko's room.
The room was dimly lit by a small lamp. Koneko-chan had yet to wake up, and Kuroka was lying beside her, gently combing her hair.
"Red Dragon Emperor, you've arrived, nyaa."
Seeing Tenraku enter, Kuroka greeted him with a mischievous smile.
Kuroka had changed into a silky nightgown, accentuating her voluptuous and curvaceous figure. Her ample assets were subtly revealed through the fabric, and her alabaster skin was both tempting and elusive.
"Aren't you the one who asked me to come here?"
Tenraku gave her a less-than-pleasant look, still irritated by her earlier antics.
"Hehehe, Red Dragon Emperor, do you know? Shirone is my younger sister, my last remaining family member in this world. I absolutely, positively have to protect her."
Kuroka stroked Koneko's face with tenderness, her voice filled with compassion.
"I'll protect Koneko-chan too."
Tenraku wrinkled his brow, uncertain about where Kuroka was going with this.
"Hehehe… I didn't doubt that, nyaa. Although you're a lustful Red Dragon Emperor, you're quite trustworthy in this regard."
"Kuroka, if you brought me here just to say these things, I'll leave."
"What's the matter? You're already finding it hard to resist wanting to do those things to Shirone?"
It was as if Kuroka had already seen through him, and she smiled slyly.
Tenraku's face turned slightly red, and he did have thoughts along those lines. Moreover, it seemed like Kuroka, intentionally or not, was tempting him. Those "casual" glimpses of her mysterious allure were scratching an itch within Tenraku.
However, he wasn't the kind of man who couldn't control himself around women. And Tenraku hadn't forgotten his real purpose.
"Wake up Koneko-chan; we need to test if this works."
"Shirone's situation isn't urgent. Before that…"
Moistening her lips, Kuroka raised one leg, causing her nightgown to slip off, revealing her slender and flawless jade foot in the air.
"Red Dragon Emperor, do you want me?"
