59 La Signora [4/4]

Have you ever touched lukewarm water?

It is water that is neither too cold nor too hot. Given the right temperature, one would feel really comfortable if they were to take a bath with it.

Or perhaps drink a coffee at the same temperature.

Yes. One would surely find it a pleasant feeling.

...But that doesn't apply to the current situation.

'I can't breathe!' Igarashi thought as he struggled to get out of Signora's hug.

Meanwhile, La Signora was having the time of her life. When she touched Igarashi, a wave of tingling pleasure went by her.

Now that she was being intimate with him, an endless amount of pleasure was being sent to her. She couldn't stop. 'More...!'

"Let go of him!" Meanwhile, Sasori was trying his best to separate the two.

'Urgh... I can taste it...' Igarashi thought as La Signora's tongue violated him.

He was not gonna lie. He was a straight man that has some needs. If he were to get kissed by a woman he likes, he would not resist anything.

But right now, it is different. La Signora is forcing herself on him and... doing it quite passionately.

"Oh my, what a predicament..." Kaeya commented at the sidelines with a worried expression for Igarashi. "Shall I... Come back for another time?"

"What do you mean another time?!" Sasori shouted as he unleashed his Electro Vision. "Help me out here!"

"Sure?" Kaeya said. "Though, I might interrupt the coupl—"

"They're not!" Sasori angrily looked at Kaeya as Electro elements gathered on his arms. "Aren't you a captain of the Knights of Favonius?! Help us out!"

"Sigh... Fine." Kaeya said before entering the battlefield.

Just then, something happened.

"Huff... Huff..." La Signora separated herself from Igarashi and slowly let go of him.

The latter quickly jumped back to a corner and looked at her with a tinge of red on his face as he tried to clean his face of fluids.

Sasori stopped what he was gonna do and quickly went to Igarashi.

He slowly stood up and spoke. "You... Why did you do that?"

La Signora's face was... Strange. At least in Igarashi's eyes. She was looking at him like a beast looking at her prey.

And her face... It was the very thing that sends shivers down Igarashi's spine. It was the face of a certified yandere.

After a few seconds, Signora calmed herself down and looked at Kaeya and Sasori. "You two saw nothing today."

"As for you." She then looked at Igarashi. "From now on, you are now mine. You shall not leave this nation without my permission and the Fatui agents here shall do well to tell me that."

After saying this, she turned to Kaeya. "And if anyone dares to hurt you, I will not hesitate to travel between nations to burn those who dare to touch what's mine."

"..." Kaeya stayed silent.

"We are done here." She calmly said before picking up the manga she bought and leaving through the door.

No one stopped her— no, no one wanted to stop her.

For Kaeya, he knew that Signora was serious. 'That look in her eyes... She was dead serious. I have to report this to Jean.'

As for Sasori, although he was still angry, he knew Igarashi would not allow him to attack her.

'The Fatui... They can't be trusted. And the Harbingers fills me with pure loathing.'

Sasori had already met two harbingers. Childe and Signora. Compared to the latter, the former only tried to provoke Igarashi.

But the latter, she was someone he cannot forgive.

Perhaps it was because of their life-threatening moment in Liyue, Sasori developed... A rather protective thinking.

After Signora left, Igarashi sighed.

He then looked at Kaeya. "Will this... Get reported to the Knights?"

Hearing this, an amused smile appeared on Kaeya's face. "Guess."

Hearing his response, although he made a hopeless expression, another thought was hidden in his mind.

'Yes... That's it. Just like that.' His inner self grinned. 'Spread the word to Jean, and perhaps other people too... Heh.'

Yes, even though he just got forced on, he still thought of the sales.

But can you really blame him?

Fixing his attire, Igarashi spoke to Kaeya. "Although I know this will be futile... Can you not include the kiss?"

"Oh? Why would I do that?" Kaeya cheekily smiled. "For all I know, you might be La Signora's lover— a vital weakness for her. Judging by her reactions, of course."

"So how could I not report this?" Kaeya shrugged with a smile.

"True..." Igarashi nodded with understanding.

'Should I blackmail him?'

'No, this is not Liyue. I don't have the protection of Zhongli.' He sighed internally.

If this was Liyue where the Geo Archon was his regular customer, he would have no problem messing with people that have high backgrounds.

After all, even Childe restrained himself when he provoked Igarashi when Zhongli was present.

"Alright." In the end, he just gave in. "Just give a good word for me, alright? And if possible, recommend my shop. Is that possible?"

"Sure." Kaeya nodded. He then held the manga in his hand. "After all, I did like the story of this."

"Thank you." Igarashi said as he adjusted his crystal monocle

Seeing Kaeya leave, Igarashi sighed in relief.

He then noticed something. Turning his head, he saw Sasori looking at the door while hugging his body tight.

"Uh... Sasori? It's fine now. They're gone." Igarashi said as he pat Sasori's head.

"I know..." Sasori said.

He then looked up at Igarashi. "Brother...?"

'Oh? This is the first time he called me that.' Igarashi thought in surprise. 'I kinda like it. It gives me the feeling of an elder brother...'

"What is it?" Igarashi smiled, feeling happy about what Sasori said.

"You won't..." Suddenly, Sasori's voice became serious. "You won't leave me, right?"

"Of course not, haha." Igarashi laughed. "Why would I do that?"

"Thank you..." Sasori smiled as he buried his face in Igarashsi's clothing.

'Weird... Why'd he ask that?' Igarashi thought. In the end, he just ignored it. 'Maybe puberty.'

However, hidden below Igarashi, as Sasori snuggled him, a strange smile appeared on his face.

And that smile... was no different from Signora when she finished kissing Igarashi.

After a few moments of cuddling, Igarashi finally decided to separate from Sasori. "Alright, that's enough."

"Okay..." Sasori replied although a tinge of sadness was present

Stretching both of his arms, Igarashi groaned. 'I can still taste it.'

'The taste of... Cherry mixed with a somewhat burning sensation...' Igarashi touched his lips. 'This is Signora's...'

Slap!*

Slapping himself to stop simping, Igarashi sighed. 'Don't forget Igarashi. She's a woman that is loyal to the Fatui and Snezhnaya... In terms of morale and story, they're the bad guys.'

'Best not let her cloud your judgment.' He nodded to himself.

'But instead, pour all that energy into making more mangas!' And so, a firey will was born.

Walking upstairs, he went to his room and sat down in front of his table. He picked up a pen and decided what to do next.

'Remember; there are still a few days before the festival event.' He thought. 'I'm sure many people will come... Including 'him'.'

He then started making some rough sketches on a blank paper. 'In order to grab his attention, I need to make something that he has an interest in.'

The character he drew was a young man radiating energy of cheekiness but a hint of seriousness.

After finishing the initial design for the character, he wrote the name of the said character at the top.

Edward Elric.

Meanwhile, in Wolvendom

"..." Fischl stared at Razor that had his electro wolf spirit out.

"..." Razor did the same. He looked at the woman that doing a weird pose and had a raven behind her.

"...You win." Razor said in defeat.

"Hmph, this was but an inevitable fate." Fischl smugly said. "If not for the help of the messenger of the sacred texts appearing, I would have never discovered another stand user in the vicinity."

"Confusing words. Razor confused. Confused is Razor." Razor said, confused.

"Oh hey, are you guys done fightin—" Just then, Bennett's voice was heard. "What the?!"

"What happened here?!" The bewildered Bennett asked.

The ground around Fischl and Razor was destroyed. Traces of Claymore marks were everywhere and the electro element was everywhere.

"It is but a duel between stand users. None of which shall concern you, my most loyal retainer." Fischl said

"Uh... Sure?" Bennett replied.

Changing the subject, Bennett started to ask questions. "Anyways, besides that, what did you guys do to ruin the land around you? And why did Fischl challenge Razor out of nowhere?"

"I don't know." Razor shook his head. "But it was a good fight."

"It was to confirm whether one is a trustworthy stand user which is not a servant of an ancient vampire." Fischl mysteriously.

"What's a Stand user?" Bennett asked.

"Oh, you want to learn more?" Fischl asked with brimming eyes.

To her, this was an opportunity to expand her ideals to her friends.

With a chortle, Fischl spoke. "If one wishes to learn such knowledge, then one must follow me to the mystical being that has brought the holy text to our land!"

And so, Igarashi's manga was spread.

A/N: If you guys think that the sudden possessiveness of characters is unnecessary... Then I shall remove it.

Democracy is back at the table, lads.
