I Sealed Sukuna’s Finger#391+392: She Straight-Up Broke Into His Home, Your Boyfriend is Amazing

Since Natsuki was awake, there was naturally no need for Bokue Keikain to continue "covering."

After spending a bit more time in the break room, seeing the time was about right, Bokue left directly.

❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁

Scene shift—Asagi Aiba's home.

When Bokue appeared, a certain blonde girl in the familiar bedroom was lying on the bed in fuzzy loungewear, staring at her phone. The air carried the pleasant scent of her perfume.

Though "looking at her phone" was really just staring blankly at the unchanging screen.

More precisely, staring at the time in the upper right corner.

"Four fifty-nine and fifty-six seconds..."

Asagi mumbled into the blanket like a speaking clock.

As her words fell, she tossed the phone aside and rolled half a turn on the bed, facing the youth who'd just appeared by the window. She stretched out her arms in a "hug me" gesture, squinting as she complained:

"Really now, you said you'd come early, but you were four seconds away from being late!"

"But I wasn't late, was I?"

Bokue kicked off his shoes and lay on the bed too, pulling the blonde girl's soft body into a tight embrace.

"Besides, at least I was just covering temporarily. If this were a real daily job, could I really leave early and come home?"

"...So should I say thank goodness you don't have to work?"

Asagi huffed indignantly.

"By the way, do you have to go tomorrow too?"

"Probably not tomorrow."

Though he couldn't think of any reason he'd need to cover tomorrow, Bokue still thought about it before giving a negative answer.

Asagi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Perfect, I don't need to go to Keystone Gate tomorrow either. We can finally have a rare day of just lazing around at home together."

"I thought you were going to say a day of rolling in the hay." Bokue teased.

"..."

Asagi didn't get the joke at first, only realizing after saying it out loud. She pushed against his chest with a red face.

"Really, all you think about is that stuff..."

"What else should I think about? How about what to have for dinner?"

Bokue rolled over on the bed with the blonde girl in his arms, switching from top-bottom facing to side-by-side.

"How about that barbecue place from last time, just the two of us?"

"No way, we've been there twice this week already. Let's try somewhere else today..."

As Asagi spoke, she leaned up to peck his lips lightly.

"Haven't decided which restaurant yet. We'll know when we walk around and look."

"So we're leaving now?"

Bokue glanced at the wall clock.

"It's already past five. If we leave any later, by the time we find a suitable place, order, and get our first bite, it'll probably be past seven."

"Hmm~"

Thinking he had a point, the blonde girl hummed softly and patted his arms around her waist.

"Alright, let's go now."

Just as Asagi finished speaking—

Meanwhile, at Itogami Island's "customs" connecting to the Demon Realm, a voluptuous pale-golden figure emerged with the crowd in the waiting hall, looking around with a troubled voice:

"Hmm~ Though I finally made it to the human world, where should I look for Bokue-kun next? I guess I should try locating him by his aura first. I heard Itogami Island isn't too far from mainland Japan... Hmm... Oh? Found him, and he seems close by, right... right here on Itogami Island?"

❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁

The brief evening passed quickly. When Bokue and Asagi finished dinner and left the city center, it was already eight o'clock.

For Asagi, this was her first proper dinner alone with Bokue all week.

After all, they'd been interrupted by three middle school girls, then Bokue's "stranded on a desert island" incident with a certain War Dancer, followed by Yuuma Tokoyogi suddenly appearing to cause trouble.

Really, she'd been severely lacking in boyfriend energy all week.

"Only eight o'clock, going back so early?"

Walking along the road back to the apartment, Bokue checked his phone's time and looked back at the still-bright city center.

"Not planning to shop or see a movie?"

"No way, there's nothing worth shopping for."

Asagi shook her head firmly.

"Who actually goes to physical stores to browse anymore? Just order online. As for movies... all predictable trash. Better to skip them and go home early to..."

"Roll in the hay?"

Bokue coldly added the last two words.

This time Asagi caught on immediately, though her cheeks still reddened slightly as she lightly punched his chest.

"...Go away."

Of course, she didn't deny it either.

Naturally, it was a joyful night.

❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁

When night passed and daylight once again descended on Itogami Island, completely dispelling the remnants of dusk, Asagi finally groggily woke in her bedroom.

"Mmm..."

Her thoughts still muddled, through blurry vision the blonde girl could vaguely make out the wall clock's hour hand had passed nine.

So it was almost ten already...

Asagi closed her eyes again, thinking lazily.

But that couldn't be helped. Since getting home at eight last night, she'd thrown herself into high-intensity aerobic exercise.

Though it was usually like this, Bokue had been particularly wicked last night—not only pounding into her relentlessly but constantly using spiritual energy to restore her stamina.

In the end, physical energy wasn't the problem, but her mind simply couldn't take it anymore.

She'd literally been pleasured into unconsciousness.

"Bad guy... getting worse and worse..."

Mumbling what sounded more like acting spoiled than complaining, Asagi rolled over to embrace the youth still lying beside her.

She did manage to hug him.

But somehow, when Asagi wrapped her arms around Bokue's neck following muscle memory, she was shocked to discover another pair of slender arms had already claimed that spot.

Wait, another pair of arms?

As if realizing something outrageous was happening right beside her, Asagi threw off the covers and sat up, instantly wide awake.

When she looked past Bokue to the other side, there on her bedroom's large bed was another beautiful, fair-skinned, big-breasted blonde girl tightly embracing her boyfriend, sleeping soundly.

<><><><><><><><>

Waking up to find another woman lying beside your boyfriend—that's something most normal women in the world couldn't accept.

Naturally, without exception, Asagi Aiba exploded.

"Bokue!!! Who the hell is this woman?!"

With volcanic eruption-level commotion exploding through the bedroom, Bokue—who'd been sleeping soundly—was blasted awake.

He even had a giant question mark hovering over his head when he groggily opened his eyes.

Following the voice's direction, he was met with the sight of a furious blonde girl, her arms clearly tight around his neck from the friction against his skin.

"Morning, Asagi. Yawn~"

Bokue hadn't really caught what Asagi had said—just heard her suddenly making loud noises. His brain forcibly rebooting, he hadn't yet grasped the current situation and casually asked with a yawn:

"What's wrong, Asagi? Why the unhappy face so early in the—hm?"

Mid-sentence, the youth suddenly sensed something was off.

Asagi was sitting up, glaring down at him with fury, one hand in front and one supporting herself on the bed—both within his visible range.

Yet somehow, Bokue felt the distinct sensation of arms wrapped around his neck, and his right arm seemed enveloped by some large airbags.

How was that possible??

Seeking verification, Bokue looked down.

Indeed, someone was hugging his neck—a remarkably fair-skinned arm.

"So whose arm is this... uh..."

Following the arm's direction back, when Bokue turned his head to the other side, he was met with another fair-skinned blonde girl's peaceful sleeping face.

She remained immersed in sweet dreams, seemingly completely unaffected by Asagi's explosive volume moments ago.

And this face, he remembered, belonged to—

As Liala's sleeping face appeared right before his eyes, even Bokue's CPU processing power froze for half a second.

"I... Liala? Why are you here??"

"...Mm?"

As if sensing the youth's departure, realizing what should've been in her embrace was gone, the blonde girl finally let out an unclear murmur, her lashes trembling as she slowly opened her eyes.

"Yawn~ Good morning, Bokue-kun. Is it time to get up?"

Liala? Bokue-kun?

Already in explosion mode, Asagi's eyebrow twitched hearing these nerve-touching addresses. Her blood pressure shot straight to 180 first thing in the morning, veins bulging on her forehead in a crossroads pattern.

"Heh... hehe... Pretty intimate names there. Care to explain?"

"Uh, she's..."

Bokue thought seriously for a moment.

Calling his relationship with Liala just ordinary friends seemed a bit too distant.

After all, they'd fought together against the Council of Cardinals in the Northern Territory.

If he had to say, it felt more like... comrades-in-arms?

But that raised another problem—would Asagi really believe that, especially in this situation...

So while Bokue was choosing his words, Liala beside him sat up clutching the blanket to her chest, smiling and nodding toward Asagi with just one person between them.

"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Liala, sister of the current Demon King of the Northern Territory, Leohart. Just call me Liala if you don't mind. Bokue-kun helped me considerably during the battle with the Northern Territory's Council of Cardinals."

Demon Realm's Northern Territory? Council of Cardinals?

Asagi's eyebrows twitched violently at this string of new terms.

Though she was called the "Cyber Empress" and could find any information existing on the internet, unfortunately... the Demon and Human Realms weren't connected online, so she had no way of knowing about the Demon Realm's situation.

And this "Help"—was it legitimate help?

"Since it's been a while since the decisive battle ended, the Northern Territory is basically completely under Leo-chan's Current Demon Lord faction's control now, so I thought I'd do some traveling."

Seeing the blonde girl silent, Liala continued explaining. "Oh, by the way, I actually arrived at Itogami Island yesterday afternoon, but being unfamiliar with the place, I could only come find Bokue-kun. But when I found you, Bokue-kun was on a date with your... um, girlfriend I assume? To avoid awkwardness, I didn't interrupt and waited until you were both asleep before sneaking over. I wanted to give you a surprise..."

"More like a shock!"

Asagi's mouth twitched in complaint.

Though she still hadn't figured out who this self-proclaimed Demon King's sister was, from her attitude and Bokue's reaction, they clearly weren't in the kind of relationship she'd initially assumed.

"Sorry, sorry~"

Liala waved with a smile.

"Oh right, speaking of which, I haven't asked yet—you are Bokue-kun's girlfriend, right?"

"That's right!"

Asagi puffed out her chest forcefully, trying to display her already impressive bust by female standards.

"I'm Asagi Aiba. You can call me Aiba or Asagi. I'm your 'Bokue-kun's' Girlfriend!"

She even emphasized the word "girlfriend."

"Hmm~ I see..."

Liala showed no particular reaction, just nodding thoughtfully before glancing at the youth beside her.

Bokue immediately understood what the Demon King's sister meant.

"No need to beat around the bush. I know what you want to ask, Liala."

"Oh? Then tell me, Bokue-kun—what exactly does big sister want to ask?"

Liala touched her finger to her lip with interest, tilting her head in return.

Bokue narrowed his eyes sideways.

"You want to ask about Rias and the others, right? If that's it, Asagi already knows."

"Ohh~"

Liala drew out the sound in understanding, her gaze moving between them.

"W-why are you looking at us like that..."

Though she'd confirmed Liala and Bokue weren't in the relationship she'd imagined, Asagi still felt uncomfortable under her gaze.

After all, normally if outsiders heard about such things, they'd want to gossip at least a little.

But Liala's expression had nothing to do with gossip—it looked more like... relief?

"Nothing~"

Liala smiled slightly.

"Just thinking Bokue-kun's girlfriend is really nice... Anyway, enough about that. Since it's been so long, let's have a long-awaited reunion hug!"

Without caring that Asagi was still present, she released the hand holding the blanket to her chest, spreading her arms to throw herself at the youth beside her.

In an instant, two snow mountains revealed their true form, transforming into flying peaks that crashed into Bokue's arm again.

Asagi's eyes went completely round.

"Hey hey hey, stop that! And where are your clothes?!"

"Clothes? I took them off before sleeping last night~"

"PUT THEM ON!!"
