Volume 8 Chapter 4 Hinata Yukari's Struggles
After the group had breakfast together, Hinata Yukari retreated to her assigned room and buried her face in the pillow.
By the way, this room was originally the room Sharla lived in, and she now lives in the same room as Tsukiko.
When Hinata was going to live in the house, the first thing Sharla wished for was to move out of this room. Of course, the destination was Yuusuke's room.
However, that request was not granted, and things settled into their current form.
Since Sharla didn't have many personal belongings to begin with, the move was quickly completed.
Now, Hinata's belongings brought from her family's home by the Anti-Demon Official were scattered everywhere.
"Worst, worst, worst!"
While still burying her face in the pillow, Hinata shouted.
One scene that comes to mind is when Yuusuke came back.
It was unimaginable for her to be pushing and pulling against each other.
She had never lived a life where she was dominated by such romance, and she had no intention of doing so.
In the first place, there was a slight disagreement even before Yuusuke and the others went running.
"Yeah, that girl is the worst."
In a room where there should only be Hinata, another voice was heard.
"..."
When she raised her face from the pillow, there was a girl sitting on a chair.
She was a lovely girl. With her cherry-colored hair and distinctive teardrop mole, it was clear that she would definitely become a beauty in the future.
"Noire, I'm saying you're the worst..."
The girl――Noire Toare sniffed and made a sound.
"My way of doing things isn't bad. If you retreat there, you're losing."
With her unapologetic tone, Hinata let out a sigh.
Noire Toare's body no longer exists. What she sees now is something like a real image, visible only to Hinata, and it seems like she can't hear the voice.
"But, I'm not really competing or anything."
"What sweet words are you saying, Yukari? Love is like a battlefield. You won't get anything by just waiting."
"Even if you say that with such a small stature..."
Noire's current appearance looks like she's around ten years old. Talking about love, she just seems like a little girl trying to act grown-up.
"Hmph, a woman who chose to wait and ended up dying without even reuniting is here."
"...It's heavy when you put it that way."
Hinata, by merging with Noire, shares most of her memories. That includes the fact that she used to be in conflict with Yuusuke and eventually fell in love, leading to an unfortunate fate.
"Well, that's not a big deal in itself. From the moment I fell in love with him, Noire as a demon was as good as dead."
Noire says it lightly, but for Hinata, who was a normal university student not too long ago, it's hard to nod along.
So Hinata responded in silence.
"Anyway, use all the weapons you have and push forward! He is gentle, so he's weak against pressure!"
"But even so, I don't have much experience either."
"Yukari, you're working hard because you don't want to lose, right? I don't want to admit it, but the enemy is strong."
"Well..."
She understands that well. Even just being in this house, there are attractive women like Lisha, Kanami, Tsukiko, and Sharla.
If the guys from university knew about the reality of this house, they would come crying and attack Yuusuke.
And on top of that, according to Noire, there's a formidable opponent named Eris.
From Hinata's perspective, Tsukiko is the strongest rival, but she doesn't even want to consider someone who might surpass her.
When Hinata fell silent, Noire's expression changed.
"You don't have to think so hard. I'll go and knock them down tonight if I have to."
She made such a bold statement.
"I won't go!"
"Why? I thought about it, but in the end, it's the quickest way. If we hint at responsibility, Yuusuke won't run away."
"Isn't that a bit forceful?"
"You, why are you saying such innocent things at your age? You should be more anxious."
"I'm only nineteen years old, though."
"You're already far behind enough."
"Hold on—!?"
Hinata was left speechless by Noire's harsh scolding.
A female college student. Being unmarried at nineteen is normal in modern Japan, but it's considered old-fashioned in Asteris.
By the way, if it's talking about pure age, Noire is significantly older, but Hinata chooses to ignore that fact.
Trembling with the greatest humiliation of her life, Hinata meekly retorted,
"You, you loli baba!"
"Hmph—!?"
Immediately, Noire flew through the air.
With a dazzling jump, she pounced on Hinata, grabbing her moderately sized breasts with both hands and squeezing them forcefully.
"What are you doing!?"
"Well, they're not that big, but they have a nice shape."
It was supposed to be just an illusion, yet Hinata could distinctly feel the touch on her chest.
She didn't flinch or push away.
"Isn't it incredibly rude to grope someone's chest out of nowhere?"
"I'm just touching my own body, so what's the big deal?"
"It's my body, my own!"
After thoroughly touching Hinata's chest, Noire nodded with a solemn expression.
"Hmm, if we push hard enough, we might just make it through, but you're lacking a bit of fighting prowess."
"Huff, huff..."
Hinata couldn't retort anymore.
Though she had some confidence in her own proportions, she had no chance against someone with an extraordinary figure like Lisha or Kanami. The only one she could surely beat in terms of breast size would be Tsukiko.
"But don't worry. With my 'Märchenmine (Young Maiden's Love),' I can handle your body somehow."
"What do you mean by 'handle my body?'"
As Hinata asked, Noire stood up from the floor and in the next moment, transformed into a completely different person.
Talking about different person... well, that might be putting it too strongly.
She undeniably retained a trace of the loli Noire. Yet, she was like a bewitching beauty herself.
Her figure was on par with Lisha's, and her enigmatic expression combined cuteness with sensuality. She couldn't take her eyes off her.
"As you can see, with my magic, I can transform into the perfect body. It's a bit tricky to change the bone structure, but minor alterations are a piece of cake."
Noire said while brushing her now long hair behind her.
Noir Toare was, in a sense, the most magician-like magician. Self-centered, stubborn, and willing to do anything for love.
That's why she usually took on the appearance of a young maiden to suppress her instincts.
"..."
Hinata imagined herself with the same physique as Noire.
"...isn't balance what’s important?"
"Is that so? Well, it's not like Yuusuke has a thing for large busts. Maybe during our training later, we should casually push him down and see how he reacts."
"It's not that simple..."
If that was possible, she would have started dating him when Tsukiko and him broke up. However, the truth is that there are many rivals that cannot be beaten without going that far.
Confessions have been made. It can be considered as a step forward from being just a junior, but what happens from there is up to oneself. Without realizing the significant impact of that single confession, Hinata pondered on what her own weapon might be.
