Chapter 23 — Aika's Return: Night of the Red Rain
---
5:27 AM | Shibuya Crosswalk — Under Crimson Clouds
The sky wept red.
Not blood… not water…
But something in between.
Yuuto stood at the center of the crosswalk.
Drenched. Heart trembling.
As time seemed to stop.
And from the shadow of neon lights—
> She appeared.
Aika Tsukishiro.
Black hoodie. Bare legs.
Eyes glowing like ancient fire.
---
The Reunion
She didn't run.
She didn't cry.
She walked straight to him.
Grabbed his collar.
Pulled him close.
> "You left me in that world."
> "I died for you."
Yuuto swallowed.
> "And I came back for you."
She slapped him.
Then kissed him.
---
The Cursed Embrace
They kissed like starving wolves—
Tongues wild, hands tearing clothes.
Aika pushed him into a dark alley.
Climbed on him.
Wrapped her legs around his waist.
> "You don't know what that curse did to me."
> "Show me."
He slid into her—slow, deep, raw.
The red rain fell harder.
> Her moans echoed off the brick walls.
She whispered things he couldn't understand.
Ancient syllables. Forgotten names.
A language from the curse realm.
And then—
Her eyes rolled back.
---
Truth Revealed
> "I'm not whole anymore, Yuuto."
"The Seventh Girl took part of me."
> "Every time you fuck one of us… she drinks it."
Yuuto froze.
> "Then what do I do?"
> "You keep fucking us."
She pulled him deeper.
> "But this time, don't do it just to save me."
> "Do it because you still want me."
---
The Blood Moon Climax
They climaxed together.
Screaming.
Shaking.
Kissing like they'd never stop.
And then—
Aika collapsed in his arms.
Half-conscious. Glowing.
> "There's something else…"
> "The Seventh Girl… she wants you. Not us."
"She wants to replace us."
Yuuto held her tighter.
> "Let her come."
> "I'll take her too."
