“Hey, Yuki. How’s your family?”
“Ha! No problems at all!”
“Hmm? No problems? Does that mean something happened?”
“Yes. When I told my family that I’m marrying Exus, they were against it… Well, I had to nearly kill them to make them accept it!”
“I see… If you’re okay with it, then fine, but generally speaking, shouldn’t you get along with your family?”
“Of course! However, in my family, it’s customary to settle disputes with swordsmanship! So there’s nothing to worry about!”
“I see. Anyway, make sure to rest properly during your break.”
“Yes, sir!”
“…Exus-sama♡” “Yeah, uh…”
“Hmm? Is someone next to you?”
“No, Alan is next to me.”
“…Th-That’s not in the bedroom, is it?”
“Yeah.”
“In the bedroom… there’s a beautiful boy… Is that what you’re saying?”
“Yeah.”
“So, you’re saying that the beautiful boy and Exus-sama were embracing each other, skin against skin?”
“…Is that a problem?”
“You’re saying that Exus-sama was gently caressing the beautiful boy’s delicate white skin and whispering sweet nothings in bed… Is that the recognition we’re going with?”
“…Yeah, and what’s wrong with that?”
“I don’t care about myself! More importantly, tell me about the interaction between Exus-sama and young Alan! Please tell me everything about it!!!!”
“Are you okay?”
In this country’s state religion, homosexuality is taboo.
To put it bluntly, it’s just plain gross, and it’s meaningless for two men to get tangled up when they can’t even reproduce!
I used to think that just thinking about entangling with rugged men was nauseating!
But… Exus-sama!
He’s a breathtakingly beautiful man!
An almost artificial beauty, with skin and teeth too white! Shiny black hair without a single stray hair or pore on his beautiful skin! His well-built, tall physique possesses both the beauty of youth and adolescence!
His handsome yet youthful features embody a unique, precious beauty that can only be seen in boys at this age!
And Alan!
The androgynous beastman boy!
With his wild black hair and delicate shoulders like a girl! Although slender, he possesses a masculine, angular bone structure, enveloped in smooth white skin! His body looks remarkably immature and youthful for a thirteen-year-old! An angelic cuteness untouched by impurity!
With his graceful, beautiful face and his slender, enchanting figure! When he gives a soft, innocent smile, you feel compelled to give him anything he desires!
This is about the sexual entanglement between these two? Oh, it’s just the best!!!!
The love of a beautiful young man and an adorable boy!
It’s irresistible…! I can’t handle it…!
I’m also being cherished as a lover, but it’s something else entirely…
Seeing this forbidden love brings about a certain…
Delight!
It’s wonderful!!!!!!!!
Ahh~ My family has always been strict and rigid, tightening their hold on everything…
“Be modest!” they say. Even with my parents and siblings, I’m rarely allowed to speak to men, merely learning the family’s magical arts and sword techniques, diligently striving for perfection…
But now, being able to study what I want while also having the freedom to pursue my interests is just too good to be true!!!
Compared to my ogre-like relatives, Exus-sama is like the difference between heaven and earth!
Serving a magnificent beauty, enjoying delicious sweets, and having flirtatious, lovey-dovey days? It’s like paradise!
Honestly, there are so many martial artists in my family, and we’ve been a lineage of swordsmanship instructors for noble families for generations. As a result, there are just too many big, intimidating men.
Plus, I was raised with the idea that women should be modest! So I grew up without knowing much about men… dreaming childishly that one day I would find my Prince Charming!
And yet, really…
Being in love with a beautiful young man like my Prince Charming!
It astonished me, seriously.
Though I might say it myself, I had absolutely no tolerance for men.
The only men I knew were my ogre relatives or an old gardener.
I only met boys my age for the first time at a noble party during my childhood.
The postcard of a beautiful boy I secretly bought was my ideal type.
And then… and then, if I was presented with a stunningly beautiful young man like Exus, I would go insane…!
Of course, it was tough and suffocating to be raised so strictly, but since it has become my foundation, I don’t resent it.
However, when I realized through Exus-sama and from hearing stories at the academy about how strictly I was raised…
… I snapped!
No more, I can’t do it!
It’s too much fun to fall!
Eating delicious snacks, staying up late to play games!
Being a spoiled little darling to my wonderful husband♡, watching him get tangled up not just with other women but with men, and immersing my mind in pleasure!
Now, I’m learning things like baking and embroidery, which I couldn’t do because of my family’s strict upbringing! Collecting cute stuffed animals, raising a kitty, and wearing cute clothes with ribbons!
Everything I love, everything I want to do, I get to do it ALL!!!!
“So, if you’re going to take away my happy life, I’ll cut down my parents and siblings without hesitation. Keep your mouth shut!”
And, well…
I said that while shouldering a wooden sword in the middle of the training ground at my family home…
“Y-You…?!”
My father, his face all bruised and swollen, stood up, using the wooden sword as a cane.
“What is it?”
“In just a year, how could you become so lovesick?! And you’ve even gotten stronger! What the hell is going on?!”
What’s going on?
“Well, my beloved husband… Exus-sama has been training me. Our family has made a living teaching martial arts to high-ranking nobles, but compared to Exus-sama’s ‘power,’ that’s nothing but child’s play.”
“… So it’s true, the rumored genius magician. Using incomprehensible spells, even baring fangs at the royal family?”
“The royal family is the one baring their fangs. Expressions like ‘facing off’ or ‘baring fangs’ are used by the weak against the strong, right? Exus-sama is overwhelmingly strong. If you get this wrong, it’ll threaten the existence of our family.”
As I said this, I threw away the wooden sword and started to return to the house.
However…
“W-Wait! Are you abandoning the family?!”
I was called to a halt.
Huh, abandoning?
“I didn’t say that…? I owe my family for raising me, so I don’t think of abandoning them. That’s what I was taught.”
“Then…!”
“However, I was also taught this: ‘If you marry, serve your husband.’ Following that, I will serve Exus-sama! This is something I will not waver on!”
“… Girls grow up quickly without their parents even noticing, huh.”
Saying this, my father…
“Do as you like. However, if you say it, see it through! If you’re going to be stubborn, do it to the end!”
He said in a strained voice…
“Yes, Father!”
“By the way, I’ve been curious about this since earlier, but what’s with that outfit… that frilly ribbon dress? It doesn’t suit you…”
“Run away!!!”
“Gyaaaa!!”
Yuki Zangetsu
Yuki Zangetsu is the second daughter of the renowned swordsmanship family, the Zangetsu household, in the Viltoria Kingdom. She served as a diplomat and negotiator for the demon Exus’s Auroora organization. A master of parallel magic, she boasted an undefeated record in magical duels that later became popular in her time. Due to her diplomatic missions, which often involved traveling alone to foreign lands that could be hostile, she focused on honing her combat skills for personal safety. Her fighting prowess earned her the fearsome title “Ashura,” named after a deity from a different faith.
In addition to her martial skills, Yuki was known for her progressive and open-minded nature. She was often photographed in clothing that was considered shockingly liberal and cute for her time. In recent years, her image has been used as a symbol in movements advocating for women’s rights, highlighting her legacy in both martial prowess and social reform.
