Endless Plunder in High School DxD

Chapter 226: Please Don’t Reject Me

Amidst the sounds of rushing water, the bath echoed with the occasional splashing sound as Akeno lay by the edge of the bath, squinting her eyes with a contented expression on her face, while Tenraku gently wiped the girls body with great tenderness.

Ara Ara, Tenraku, are you still angry with me? Akeno smiled as she noticed a persistent frown on Tenrakus face.

Im not, Tenraku replied expressionlessly.

Heh heh heh Akeno sat up and hugged Tenrakus neck, then kissed him directly.

Are you still angry now? After a long kiss, Akeno asked with a smiling face, as if coaxing a sulking child.

Hmph, dont think you can get away with it that easily! Tenrakus lips twitched, and he turned his head away with a cold snort.

Tenraku, youre so heartless. You are acting like that even though I saved you. Knowing that the usual methods wouldnt calm Tenraku down, Akeno immediately changed her strategy. She pouted and looked aggrieved, while Tenraku, who already had a serious expression, became agitated.

What do you mean by saved? Even if I had been hit, I would have been fine. Do you know how dangerous your actions were?

Its so easy for you to say, but what about me? Am I not allowed to save you when I see that youre in danger?

I would have been fine.

Heh heh Even when you were in danger because of Valis power, I still wanted to save you even if I knew you would be fine!

Even if its dangerous, its my problem. I dont need your help, Akeno!

Whether to save or not is my decision. I dont need you to interfere in my decision Tenraku. I will save you no matter what!

You!!!

With each retort, the two of them argued with each other, not giving in. Seeing Akenos stubborn and determined look, Tenraku became so frustrated that he wanted to flip the table, but there was no table in the bath, so he had to suppress his frustration forcefully.

Feeling annoyed, Tenraku turned away, not letting Akeno see his expression. He never feared powerful enemies. Through the trials and tribulations of his journey across the world, Tenraku had become incredibly strong in his resolve. But when Akeno fell into his embrace, he became afraid!

Silence descended upon the atmosphere, and neither of them spoke again. It was only after a long time that Tenraku felt a soft touch approaching him as Akeno hugged him from behind.

Akeno, even if you Tenraku was about to say something, but Akeno interrupted him directly.

Tenraku, I beg you, dont take away this little right from me.

I know Im weak, and youve always been protecting me. But I also want to protect you, I want to help you. I will work hard to become stronger, so please

Please dont reject me!

Turning around, Tenraku looked at the girl, her face already streaming with tears, and he couldnt bring himself to say anything he had planned. It seemed that he had been too domineering all along, always thinking about protecting Akeno and the others, but never considering their thoughts.

Im sorry, Akeno Tenraku spoke softly as he gently wiped the tears from the girls cheeks.

He truly wasnt a good man. He had let his beloved shed tears

Tenraku, you dont need to apologize. Its me who should apologize. Im always so willful, even though I cant do anything well, I still like to pretend to be strong. Shaking her head, Akeno felt a wave of self-reproach when she heard Tenraku apologising to her.

Akeno also knew that her seemingly grand gesture of Sacrifice was actually causing trouble for Tenraku. But she couldnt bear to see Tenraku in danger while feeling helpless herself. Even if it meant being foolish in her approach, she wanted to protect Tenraku. Just once would be enough

She felt like the softest part of her heart had been touched as Tenraku sighed and directly kissed her lips.

W w w The intensity of their passionate kiss grew, as they hungrily tasted each other, it was as if they wanted to merge into each others bodies.

After a long kiss, they gazed into each others eyes and burst into laughter simultaneously. They realized how silly they were to argue and quarrel over such a trivial matter. They both looked like idiots.

Ill forgive you this time, Akeno, but dont do it again next time, Tenraku said while gently stroking the girls cheek.

No matter how many times, Ill still do it. Even you wont be able to stop me! Akeno shook her head as she displayed a determined expression on her face.

On this point, she would never back down.

Then at least dont foolishly rush in like that. I dont need Akeno to be my shield! Tenraku retorted, feeling frustrated that his previous moment of vulnerability had been wasted.

But I was just too worried at that time. Next time, Ill approach it differently. Akeno blushed, feeling both embarrassed and regretful.

Looking back now, Akeno realized how foolish she had been at that moment. Instead of mindlessly acting as a human shield, she could have just used defensive magic to protect Tenraku. Her actions had worried everyone needlessly.

Feeling a mix of annoyance and amusement, Tenraku gently rubbed Akenos forehead. Akeno leaned against his chest, feeling the warmth of his embrace. The two of them enjoyed this tender moment

Akeno, lets go on a date tomorrow, Tenraku suddenly said as he caressed the girls long hair.

Date? Akeno raised her head, surprised.

Yes, weve never been on a date before. Wouldnt you like to give it a try, Akeno?

But we have school tomorrow

Anything related to school can be postponed. Our Date is the most important thing.

What do you think, my princess? Will you go? Tenraku asked, his eyes filled with anticipation. Akenos heart was deeply moved and she began to feel warm inside.

Unable to refuse and not wanting to refuse

Okay! Akeno nodded and accepted the invitation.

Gazing into each others eyes, their lips met once again

Meanwhile, outside the bathroom

Thats great! Tenraku-San and Akeno-San made up, Asia exclaimed happily.

Hmph, we worried for nothing because of that guy, Tenraku! Irina pouted, trying to maintain a tsundere expression.

Tenraku and Akeno are going on a date tomorrow. Has anyone else had a date with Tenraku? Xenovias main focus seemed to be on the date as she looked at their companions.

Hehe, Ive had a date with Tenraku-San, Asia replied, her face filled with envy.

It was nothing special, just hanging out here and there. It was tiring, Irina added with a proud yet dismissive tone, but anyone could see her satisfaction.

The envy among the girls grew, and Xenovia, lost in thought, stroked her chin. Then she turned to Rias, who was standing nearby.

Rias, have you ever had a date with Tenraku? After all, youre his legal wife, right?

A flicker of panic flashed in Rias eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

Of course, Ive had a date with him. It was similar to what Irina mentioned, Rias replied.

I see Xenovia didnt inquire further, and Rias secretly breathed out a sigh of relief. However, there was a hint of resentment in her heart. She hadnt had a date with Tenraku yet!

Thinking about it, Rias and Tenraku had already done everything they should or shouldnt have done. Dating now seemed somewhat meaningless, to the point that even Rias herself had overlooked it. It was frustrating for her to realize this now.

A romance without dates wasnt complete. That infuriating Tenraku, she would make him make up for everything he owed her!
