then in a playful move takaharu forces hoo to shake hands with the girl the moment hoo touches her hand a gust of wind blows lifting the girl skirt and revealing her underwear to both hedo and takaharu mortified hio feels his frustrations rise again the girl embarrassed quickly runs away hio now Furious yells at takaharu I shouldn't be touching girls frustrated hedo starts to explain the strange events that happened to him 10 years ago 10 years ago hoo tells takaharu he made a promise to a girl they vowed to marry and she told him not to
marry anyone else but her she was the first person he had ever been close to but she wasn't ordinary she had horns on her head just after they made their promise she disappeared ever since that day strange things had been happening to him and no one knew why his grandmother often said he was cursed by an Oni that's what hio called the girl he didn't fully understand what it meant but one thing was clear tomorrow he would turn 18 and it would be his birthday the date of the promised meeting hio and takaharu discussed his
upcoming birthday and how he would finally marry the girl later when hio gets home he changes clothes and starts reading from his notebook he realizes he needs a reference book but instead his hand lands on a book filled with provocative images of women feeling embarrassed he begins thinking about how cute girls can be and how he wishes he could touch someone he truly liked frustration builds up and he wonders why everything in his life seems so complicated as he lies in bed his mind drifts back to the day when everyone teased the girl for having
horns on her head heo had approached her and helped her stand to which she simply said Thank you lost in this memory he drifts off into another dream he wakes up and notices the clock 2 Minutes to Midnight thinking about how he needs to prepare for lessons tomorrow his eyes catch a strange glow coming from the window as he reaches for it a flower padal falls into his hand reminding him of Sakura at exactly midnight Sakura suddenly appears in his arms it's me Sakura she Whispers huging him tightly and planting a kiss on his lips
its first kiss hio blushing furiously is stunned by how beautiful she looks she wishes him a happy birthday and tells him that as promised she will be his wife she has waited all these years for this moment when he would be old enough to marry her hio over overwhelmed and Confused starts bombarding her with questions are you really an own why did you disappear did you come back just to marry me do you even like me and why did you curse me Sakura looks at him puzzled curse what curse hoo frustrated starts raising his voice
what have you been thinking for the past 10 years he demands Sakura calmly responds explaining that she had to returned to her Homeland to prepare for their wedding ceremony just then the chest plate Sakura is wearing cracks followed by the neckace around her neck breaking apart hio embarrassed quickly averts his eyes and Sakura equally flustered grows nervous as well Sakura too had been affected by the curse leaving hio more confused than ever he thought to himself could Sakura really have nothing to do with the curse as Sakura sat in front of him nervous ly clutching
her chest with both hands hedo felt uneasy he quickly covered his eyes reminding himself that it wasn't right to look at a woman in such a vulnerable state even though they were suddenly married he peaked at her unsure of what to do next after a moment of hesitation he grabbed a blanket and gently draped it over Sakura she looked up at him and whispered thank you grateful for his kindness Sakura tried to reach out and touch him in return but hio instinctively pulled back refusing to lever touch his hand it wouldn't be good for you
he said referring to the strange Misfortune that seemed to follow him whenever he came into contact with women Sakura then brought up the topic of his bad luck with girls asking if it had been happening since she disappeared hadam nodded yeah it's been like this ever since you left Sakura apologized for rushing into their marriage without understanding what had happened to him in her absence hedo realizing she wasn't lying felt guilty for doubting her I'm sorry to he admitted I shouldn't have questioned you but the truth is I still don't know anything about this curse
Sakura apologized once more and began unbuttoning her shirt heo panck quickly asking why she was taking off her clothes she silenced him saying that she needed to reveal the source of their problem as her shirt fell open they both stared at strange markings covering her body fear gripped them as they wondered what the symbols meant Sakura explained that a hidden spell had been placed on her long ago by someone with malicious intent with her knowledge of spells she was able to manifest a curse as visible patterns on her skin she told hoo that she recognized
the type of curse having studied it before the most unsettling part however was that whoever cast it had a deep attachment to her and it felt as though the curse would never fade hoo still in shock asked if she could break the curse and why it seemed impossible to remove Sakura regretfully shook her head I don't know how to cure it she admitted apologizing again for not having the solution hoo now filled with frustration couldn't comprehend why anyone would do such a thing to him who could have done this he wondered was it someone I
knew or a stranger he reflected on the trouble the curse had caused in his life particularly with girls and began to wonder if someone truly hated him Sakura sensing his turmoil apologized once again but hoo shaking his head told her it wasn't her fault still he felt their marriage shouldn't have happened under such circumstances it's not fair to you he said you were dragged into this mess without warning before Hado could finish Sakura raised her hand and firmly said we'll find a way to break this curse together H's excitement surged as he eagerly asked is
there really a way to break the curse Sakura nodded explaining that someone in her family had study curses and might be able to help heder's eyes lit up with hope if we can break this curse he asked will everything be all right but his excitement quickly turned into doubt I don't understand why you still want to marry me he admitted we made that promise when we were kids but after all these years apart we barely know anything about each other now what if staying close to me just brings you more bad luck I don't have
anything good to offer am I really enough Sakura smiled gently of course you are she reassured him our bond was sealed the moment you reached out and saved me from now on I'll stay by your side and we'll find a way to lift this curse together they clasped hands their eyes locking in a moment of shared determination and tenderness heo feeling a mix of relief and Hope conf confessed that he had spent years feeling helpless constantly apologizing to girls who couldn't understand his strange curse he didn't know why it had happened to him but now
with Sakura's help he felt ready to try and break it will you lend me your strength he asked his voice sincere with pleasure Sakura replied warmly hedo thanked her and their fingers intertwined as they gazed into each other's eyes the tension between them fading into a romantic connection they embraced and soon after their lips met in a soft kiss sealing their shared resolve as they fell asleep together the Oni flowers bloomed outside a mysterious voice echoing through the air what has blossomed before will be scattered by the wind I won't allow it I won't let
anyone take you away from me the curse spread through his body and he of suddenly jolted awake realizing it was just a bizarre dream he glanced over at his bed and saw Sakura lying next to him good morning Sakura greeted him casually annoyed hedo asked why are you sleeping in my bed Sakura replied somewhat defensively that it was an accident but haah wasn't convinced insisting that she had deliberately moved to his room relieved that his parents weren't home to see this had sighed and began putting on his clothes as they talked the doorbell rang curious
hedo wondered aloud who could be visiting so early sakuro wanted to come along but hio quickly shut that idea down you're not coming with me looking like that he said firmly the doorbell rang again hoo opened the door to find his friend takaharu standing there grinning mischievously without warning takaharu threw a paper bomb at hedo causing it to explode harmlessly with a loud pop did I surprise you takaharu laughed yeah you surprise me all right ha replied half exasperated but seriously no more of this first thing in the morning takaharu unfaced pulled out a neatly
wrapped gift and handed it to hio here this is for your birthday he's mood brightened instantly you made this for me he asked thrilled takaharu teased him for a moment saying yeah I made it just kidding they both laughed as takaharu gestured to someone standing behind him all right come on out a beautiful girl named aha stepped forward accompanied by several guards she smiled at hio and wished him a happy birthday H was taken aback by her presence and her warm smile did you really make this for me he asked eyeing the cake in her
hands aha nodded and hio eagerly took the cake expressing his gratitude this looks amazing you're really good at this as he thanked her he noticed that aha was standing a few meters away with her guards keeping a cautious distance hedo frowned slightly realizing why she like takaharu knew about his curse despite knowing the risks both Aha and takaharu had stayed by his side not letting the curse drive them away suddenly Sakura appeared commenting on how amazing the cake smelled and how she couldn't resist coming out hedo immediately shouted at her reminding her that he specifically
told her not to leave the room Aura just smiled explaining that she had covered herself with a blanket because her lower clothes were still visible even after trying to hide Furious he snapped I can still see you takaharu on the other hand burst out laughing and scold a hedo you dog how could you not tell me about this hio feeling the pressure grew even more frustrated unsure of how to explain the situation without making things worse his mind rised and in a desperate attempt to ease the tension he introduced Sakura as a distant relative staying
with him due to family circumstances he hoped this would keep things under wraps takaharu still intrigued complimented Sakura's Beauty asking where she was from and what her connection to hoo was just as hio was about to reply aha interrupted answering for him she's a relative but Sakura had other ideas she she smiled at everyone and proudly declared actually I'm hoo's fiance the room fell into an awkward silence everyone was stunned H's heart sank all his efforts to keep Sakura's presence a secret now in vain aha in shop from Sakura's Revelation fainted on the spot panicking
hoo and takaharu rushed to her side with takaharu cradling her as she lost Consciousness her bodyguards clearly alarmed didn't know what to do when a finally came to she and takahara quickly left takaharu muttering something about asking for details later as they drove away hedo and Sakura stood there watching the car disappear down the street both unsure of what chaos they had just Unleashed after returning home Sakura asked hoo if aha would be all right hio still fuming yelled at her demanding why she came out when he specifically told her not not to Sakura quickly
apologized but with a GLE smile she admitted she was just so excited to see him again I can't stay away from you not even for a moment she said softly hio frustrated snapped back reminding her about the curse why are you saying things like that you know touching me brings nothing but bad luck Sakura looked at him with calm resolve even if I can't touch you I can't help whine to be near you in a sudden shift hoo stepped closer to her leaning in until she was pinned between his arms her back against the wall
and what if I stay like this he said his voice low and teasing for a moment the tension hung thick in the air then as if catching himself hio backed off and said he'd find her some clothes thank you Sakura replied with a soft smile seemingly unaffected by the sudden intensity as hedo walked away frustration nod at him his mind raced with thoughts on how to manage everything Sakura the curse aha he couldn't take much more of this but before he could dwell on it further a group of strange creatures appeared at the gate they
were imposing figures with two horns and weapons in hand one of them a woman with a cold stare stepped forward and asked in a strange harsh language are you the man who has deceived our princess fear gried hio his mind reeled with confusion who were they what princess were they talking about the woman raised her weapon pointing it directly at him you must die she declared as she prepared to strike hedo found himself thinking back to the first time he met Sakura she had horns on her head pointed ears and a smile as radiant as
a blooming flower he had always known their time together would be shortlived but that didn't make it any easier to accept as the woman before him raised her weapon poised to strike hedo closed his eyes and whispered goodbye Sakura the woman swung her sharp blade but to everyone's shock the blow did nothing to hedo confused the woman took a step back baffled at how her attack didn't affect him what kind of Shield protects him she wondered aloud before anyone could react further a voice called out from behind it was Sakura stop don't hurt him she
said firmly stepping into view all eyes were on her as she appeared unlike her usual self and there was an air of authority about her the tension broke as Sakura commanded everyone to calm down the woman still shaken asked is this the man who's bonded himself to our princess Sakura nodded yes this is the one immediately the woman dropped to her knees in apology introducing herself as kka the chief caretaker of Princess Sakura thank you K said bowing to hedo thank you for protecting our princess stunned by the sudden turn of events hedo quickly introduced
himself saying it was no trouble helping Sakura but then came the Revelation That Shook him Sakura was the daughter of the onlyi king Amish Asama destined to be the next ruler of the onlyi Kingdom H's jaw dropped you're really a princess he asked still struggling to process the truth kka and the others explained further Sakura was raised near the edge of the forest their Duty being to prevent her from Crossing into human lands however since childhood she had always been drawn to the world beyond the it had been 10 years since she first ventured out
it seemed her rebellious streak hadn't faded last night she slipped away again prompting her caretakers to track her down kka turned to Sakura her tone soft but urgent if your father finds out you've disappeared again it won't end well we must return immediately hearing this hi's heart sank he had only just reunited with Sakura and now she was being pulled away once more kka explained to H that the Onan humans had been at War for centuries and leaving Secura in the human world was not an option but H wasn't ready to give her up he
desperately tried to reason with kka but it was no use just as the conversation seemed to reach a dead end Sakura made a bold declaration she wouldn't return to the Oni Kingdom until she was married to hedo kka was Furious you don't get to decide who you marry she snapped glaring at Sakura the two locked eyes tension thick in the air finally kka turned to H with a challenge if you want to keep Sakura then fight me she said H's heart raced at the thought of battling kka his mind flashing with images of a fight
he felt he couldn't win kka told him he could use any weapon he liked and all he had to do was land a single hit on her if he managed to strike her Sakura could stay if not sheep returned to the Oni Kingdom Sakura full of confidence encouraged him to accept the challenge unsure hio felt the weight of the situation pressing down on him how could he possibly land a blow on kka she was too fast too skilled Sakura sensing his hesitation whispered use your curse against her hedo shook his head rejecting the idea the
curse had caused enough harm and he wasn't willing to risk it again but Sakura pressed further do you want to keep your promise to me or not if we're together we'll find a way to lift the curse she said with determination hedo nodded feeling the fire of their shared past ignite within him hum he muttered an agree agreement Sakura brooming with confidence promised that from this point forward she'd always be by his side H's resolve strengthened as he thought about The Vow they had made when they were younger there was no turning back now facing
canka hedo stood firm I won't let you take Sakura back he declared canka smirked and prepared for the match she explained the rules and said come at me don't hold back hedo still nervous answered all right let's do this as they squared off hedo couldn't help but glance at canka despite the tension he noticed her grace and Poise she's really beautiful he thought to himself a moment of distraction before the fight began the caretakers warned hio about the upcoming match urging him to give up insisting that their leader kka was far too powerful for him
but sakuro wasn't worri she smiled at hio reassuring him that everything would be fine and wishing him good luck the guard signaled the start of the match with a loud drum beat sending a wave of adrenaline through hedo as he focused on the challenge ahead determined hedo charged toward kka as he reached out to make contact a gust of wind suddenly blew through causing K's clothes to flutter embarrassed by the situation hedo quickly apologize but something even stranger happened next a voice echoed from the curse ominously declaring I will not allow it hoo froze completely
confused the wind intensified swirling around them like an invisible force and before anyone could react cana's clothes were caught in the cyclone in an instant much of her outfit was ripped away leaving her half exposed the guard stood in stunned silence all struck by the unexpected power of the wind Sakura hurried over to check on kka who was already brushing off the incident it's just a scratch kka assured her with a faint smile she then asked Sakura if she was all right showing no sign of worry about herself one of the caretakers quickly covered kka
with a jacket apologizing for the mishap but kka only shook KP head she was impressed by hoo's abilities I didn't expect that she admitted a ning the unusual force behind his attack the strike was strong enough to blow anything away she added her voice filled with admiration I believe this wind is the Tango wind K could remarked recognizing the mysterious power hio had Unleashed canka and the guard stood before hio their expressions serious hio still trying to make sense of everything asked them about Tango wind but before he could get a clear answer the guards
encircled him with their weapons drawn kka watching closely explained Tango is a monster that controls the wind one of the guards stepped forward questioning hio a normal human shouldn't have power like that are you really human or are you Tango I'm just a human ha replied his voice steady but confused I don't know anything about Tango the guards weren't convinced if you're truly human how do you possess such strength with no other choice hedo felt compelled to reveal the truth K's eyes widened in Surprise upon hearing the name of the curse is it really the
El curse she asked her voice sharp with curiosity haum nodded yes that's the name my friend gave it K's expression shifted from Surprise to anger so you knew about this curse all along and yet you still kidnapped her she snapped her voice filled with frustration hedo and Sakura immediately dropped to their knees pleading with kka hedo apologized for his actions while Sakura tried to explain I'm the one who told him to follow this plan Sakura admitted we never meant to put anyone in danger we only wanted to make you accept the situation but something went
wrong kenko already furious with Sakura for sneaking away from home in line wasn't having any of it I can't believe this nonsense she said her patience won thin without warning she summoned a crackling bolt of lightning from that bolt a young woman named Saran appeared Sirin looked around slightly confused before addressing kka why did you call for me so suddenly I need your help with something urgent kka reply her tone firm Surin and Sakura exchanged polite greetings Surin then turned her attention to hio her eyes curious are we in human territory kka nodded in confirmation
yes we are suran introduced herself with a calm smile I'm suran a doctor and cultural researcher it's a pleasure to meet you po heo introduced himself in return trying to keep up with the fast moving situation Sakura chined in reminding hedo Saran is the person I recommended last night she's knowledgeable about curses from other lands hoo turned to kka puzzled why did you summon Surin kka crossed her arms her decision final my goal was to bring Sakura back home heo felt grateful to kka for showing humility and prioritizing curing his curse first he expressed his
appreciation and thanks kka with a stern look replied I'll deal with the princess later right now we need to focus on healing your curse suran standing nearby asked Shall We Begin right away she moved closer to hoo reaching out her hand to touch him hoo quickly stopped her remembering what happens when he touches any woman suran unfaced said I need to perform an osculation touching you is necessary don't worry it'll be fine besides I'm not exactly what you think not everyone who looks sweet is a woman hoo a bit confused asked is that true are
you sure it's okay Surin started her examination unbuttoning his shirt and placing a hand over his chest feeling his racing heartbeat relax she reassured him you're too tense this is just a medical procedure still hedo felt uncomfortable and told her please don't rely too much on me suren chuckled I'm only doing this for medical purposes then she said something unexpected I need your saliva saliva hedo asked bewildered Surin explained that she needed it for mixing with special chemicals to check his condition and observe any reactions she added I'll need to take it directly from your
mouth Sakura jumped in to explain Saran has ingested medicines from all over the world for years her body holds various chemical effects Saran without hesitation kissed hoo to collect the saliva after extracting it she dropped it into a test Tu which immediately exploded in a burst of light she calmly analyzed the results confirming that hedo was indeed human but said it looks like Tango attached itself to you around 10 years ago Surin went on there's a specific curse enhancing your power and it's strongest in the morning she examined him further touching his chest and stomach
and said it's here deep inside they must have placed a spell Sirin leaned in even closer to hoo making him visibly uncomfortable she traced her hands along his body pinpointing the curses location seeing this Sakura quickly stepped in that's enough tan whether it's medical or not you're way too close her voice was firm with jealousy heo embarrassed said this really isn't the time or place for things like that Sakura didn't stop once this curse is broken I'll be the one who gets to touch him she declared staking her claim the guards nearby called out to
sakuro warning hio if anything happens to the princess it won't end well for you suddenly a crow Circle overhead coing loudly don't touch him don't touch him its piercing voice echoed in the air adding to the tension of the moment in their classroom on campus hayato and takaharu were deep in discussion takaharu was explaining a lesson to hayo who had missed class the previous day hayato smirking teased you should just just quit school since you're such a saint takaharu was shot back you missed class and na you're asking for Pelt so maybe ease up on
the teasing heo who had been quietly listening chimed in thanks takaharu I appreciate the help Tak of Haru still curious asked why didn't you show up yesterday you didn't even bother to text or call us Hado scratched his head looking a bit guilty sorry he said something came up and I just couldn't make it takaharu raised an eyebrow leaning in with a grin wait were you with sakuro or something caught off guard hedo blushed telling takaharu to keep his voice down their banter continued until they suddenly Heard a Voice from behind good morning both hio
and takav Haru turned to see aha standing there a notebook in hand they greeted her in unison good morning aha hio leaned in and whispered to takaru do you think she's here to say something to us takaharu shrubbed maybe looks like she's got something on her mind curious hio asked aha how she was feeling and if everything was okay aha smiled and replied I'm fine now no need to worry ha of side in relief grateful to hear she was doing better moments later Sakura and surugan appeared surugan turned to hayato and revealed aha is the
Tango responsible for cursing you haatt looked shocked aha there's no way she's been my friend since we were kids surugan nodded confirming the claim the food you ate this morning it was sweets made by aha hayato shook his head in disbelief she's just a normal person surugan continued calmly many Tango take on human form to blend in with Society in denial hayato replied I can't believe this it doesn't make sense surugan smirked and challenged him do you want proof do you want to see for yourself hio feeling confused and frustrated jumped in how am I
supposed to know she's the one who cursed me should I just walk up and ask her are you the Tango who cursed me sauen replied even if you ask her directly aha won't admit it she's been deceiving for the past 10 years he then offered a vial and said this is a true serum I've specially crafted once aha drinks this she'll spittle everything hoo hesitated are there any side effects surugan reassured him she won't die from it but if she's really a Tango the effects will be intense feeling uneasy hedo asked again are you sure
it's safe Sakura's caretaker chined in it doesn't affect humans you can trust Sur ugan still uncertain Hato questioned are you absolutely sure aha is a Tango surugan challenged him don't you want to break the curse though hadab didn't want to believe it doubt cracked in he wanted to prove aha was human innocent of any wrongdoing I'll give her the truth serum hoo finally decided later as hoo takaharu and aha walked through the school hallway takaharu casually asked lunch hat him not it sure but then suddenly stopped in his tracks wait as they headed for lunch
hoo couldn't stop thinking about how to get aha to drink the serum suddenly an announcement came over the school's PA system takaharu hosino third-year student from class A please report to the guidance office immediately takaharu looked confused is this announcement really for me hadto smir isn't this just a setup from Sakura and surugan they're probably trying to help me test aha by separating you from us it worked takaharu was pulled away heo teed maybe you're in trouble for flirting with too many girls takaharu waved goodbye and Hado replied we'll be in the courtyard as they
made their way outside two girls passed by one whispered isn't that the cursed guy and he's with a girl the other added I wonder if she's safe around him hedo felt awkward and quickly apologized but aha just brushed it off don't worry about it they continued outside and sat on a bench to eat lunch while they were eating they talked about aha's impressive cooking skills seizing the moment hedo offered her the serum thanking her for the sweets she made the previous day aha took the bottle and smiled thanks as aha held the bottle hedo found
himself lost in thought with takaharu always around he realized how little he actually knew about aha she was always there but he never really saw her until now just as she unscrewed the bottle and was about to take a sip hoo suddenly swatted it out of her hand he couldn't go through with it he didn't want her to drink it so he threw it away hoo quickly apologized and offered a handkerchief to help clean aha's face he wanted to explain why he had acted so suddenly but hesitated for a moment before saying I need to
ask you something strange ah smiled softly and replied you're a kind person then reached out to touch his hand but hoo quickly pulled his hand away warning you can't touch me like that he had expected something to happen when aha touched him but nothing did aha looked at him and said I've seen how kind you are to everyone and honestly it hurts me suddenly a strong wind blew through the courtyard out of nowhere Sakura and shugan appeared Sakura called out to hio telling him he needed to pray that nothing bad would happen surugan visibly frustrated
asked hio why he hadn't let aha drink the truth serum before hio could respond aha's form began to change she transformed into a creature with the body and wings of a human both hedo and Sakura were stunned by what they saw aha turned to hio and said I'm the one who gave you the charm of protection heo overwhelmed and Confused responded I thought you were my close friend how could you do this to me aha disheartened by his reaction looked at him with sadness in her eyes and said you don't understand I've always been the
one protecting you heo aha Sakura serin and kinix stood together in the courtyard when aha suddenly turned to hio and revealed I've been protecting you all this time hoo taken a asked how have you been protecting me I don't understand what you mean Ahab took a deep breath and confessed I like you hoo her words sent a shock wave through the group everyone was caught off guard she continued explaining her side of the story there was a time when I had no friends but you po were different from everyone else you were special to me
I I belied I was the girl closest to you Ahab then shot a bitter glance at Sakura and added that was true until she showed up aa's voice became more emotional as she continued heo you were kind to everyone no matter who they were even if they were own but because of that kindness I had to make sure no one misunderstood your intentions that's why I placed the charm of protection on you a charm that actually cursed any girl who got too close it's been years and no one has come near you because of it
this whole time I've been protecting you in my own way and I did it for you H looked at her his expression conflicted I appreciate that you have feelings for me he began but I can't forgive you for hurting others especially the girls just to protect me hoo begged aha to lift the curse but aha snapped back at him don't you like it this way her voice carried a mix of bitterness and possession desperation filled hoo as he hoped aha would heal him but her possessed nature turned his plea into a tense confrontation suddenly a
group of attendants appeared grabbing hold of aha one of them asked should we take her to our King don't use Force here hoo shouted this is a school if anything happens people will gather quickly kka one of the attendants reassured him there's no need to worry I've already stationed guards around the place place as aha tried to break free the attendance held her tightly seeing aha's strouble one guard commented she's a highlevel Tango kka nodded in agreement she'll be a perfect offering to our King and she'll play a key role in the upcoming war against
the Tango kka then turned to hio and calmly added you don't need to worry about the curse once we persuade her she'll reveal the spell no hoo shouted his voice trembling don't torture aha Sakira stepped forward standing beside hedo and demanded Let Her Go kka glanced at Sakira and coldly replied please stay out of this aha's emotion surged as she saw Sakira stepping in to save her Sakira approached her speaking softly but firmly I want to talk to you aha I think we can work through all of this she was trying to ease the tension
hoping to resolve the chaos surrounding them Sakira explained I know you caught us all off guard but I understand why you have such deep feelings for hio extending her hand for a handshake Sakira tried to show she meant no harm but before their hands could meet a strange gas started seeping from aha's chest it spread quickly a poisonous Mist filling the air sakiro alarmed shouted to hiato don't breathe it in it's toxic everyone started coughing their lungs burning as the poison took hold hedo collapsed paralyzed unable to move as he lost Consciousness Sakura's concern deepened
Panic Rising as hedo lay unconscious at her feet aha her expression cold turned to her and declared no other girl was allowed to touch hedo but me and with that she unfurled her wings and flew away Sakira screamed in frustration but it was too late H was motionless on the ground completely unresponsive surugan too struggled to regain control of his body but the poison kept him pinned helpless the wind began to pick up carrying with it an eerie Stillness and just then takaharu arrived on the scene everyone stared in shock as takaharu appeared he immediately
asked are you all okay kka not trusting him Nar his eyes and demanded are you with that Tango girl takaharu unfaced nodded yes I am you're right I was with her kka growing tense drew his weapon ready to strike but takaharu quickly raised his hand adding I'm with her but I'm not your enemy kka paused surprise and asked what do you mean with calm confidence takaharu replied I can help you I have a reposal you won't want to ignore how about we work together they were all still on the school campus when Sakira confused by
takaharu offer asked who are you really in response takah haru's appearance shifted dramatically his head now adorned with a tilted mask and black wings unfurling behind him he introduced himself I am takaharu hosino close a to aaha Hau the princess of the Tango Clan he apologized for the actions of Princess akaha taking responsibility for the chaos kka stunned exclaimed aaha is a Tango princess what does a servant of the Tango princess want from us takaharu remained composed and explained I'm here to say Pato his words however were met with disbelief one of the guards still
feeling the effects of the poison spat takaha poisoned us how can we trust someone who served her takaharu calmly replied words won't convince you if I can prove myself through action as takahara spoke aato began to regain Consciousness slowly opening his eyes the first thing he noticed was that his head was resting on aha's lap disoriented his hand brushed against her thigh realizing where he was he immediately jumped up in alarm with confusion in his voice haata blurted out where am I what is this place akaha responded this is my room HTO was shocked it
looks like a castle he said still trying to process his surroundings he quickly asked where's Sakura and the others akaha calmly replied I've left them behind Panic filled hedo voice as he asked are they okay but akaha just Shrugged I don't know and A desperate attempt to leave hoo rushed to the door only to find it locked he rattled the handle but couldn't budge it aaha held the key frustration and fear settled in as hedo wondered if this was all a lingering effect of the black mist akaha explained the black mist was a powerful sleeping
agent I used the effects vary from person to person they should be able to move by now she reassured him it wasn't poison only can take care of themselves relieved but still uneasy hio thanked her his mind racing with worry akaha offered him some herbal tea but hio still on edge eyed it suspiciously is there anything in it he asked hesitant after the whole black mist or Beal annoyed akaha snapped I didn't put anything in it they both sat down on the sofa the tension between them palpable breaking the silence akaha said no one is
is worthy of you I can't stand the thought of someone else taking you from me hater tried to reason with her you're not alone you have your family in a beautiful home aaa's expression didn't change that doesn't matter to me he do them remembered takaharu and asked don't you have takaharu AKA explained that takaharu wasn't close to her in that way he was simply doing his job curious hoo asked what job what kind of work does he do she replied that takaharu was her assistant someone who had been around since childhood hea was taken back
struggling to believe all of this he then asked is he human aaho revealed that takaharu was actually a tangu who had transformed into a human hedo found it difficult to wrap his head around this he muttered takaharu knew about the curse and just made fun of me akaha nodded yes he knew from the start but he chose to stay silent and never said anything frustrated heog shook his head unwilling to accept it I can't believe this he kept repeating conflicted akaha looking directly at him then made an unsettling offer I'll lift the curse but only
if you become mine and stay with me forever no one else fear gripped hoo as her words sank in akaha gently cradled him and laid him down on the bed reminiscing this reminds me of when we used to take afternoon naps together she drifted off to sleep beside him but ha remained Wide Awake his mind racing the thought of staying with her forever terrify him as the effects of the drug began to wear off hoo saw his chance to escape he quietly looked for the key which hung on a pendant around aaa's neck resting against
her chest hesitant Hado didn't want to touch her inappropriately but he had no other choice carefully he reached for the key just as his fingers neared it a masked man appeared from behind and stopped him saying coldly touching that is forbidden hoo was startled fear gripping him as he turned to apologize but the masked man swiftly covered his mouth and whispered be quiet hedo froze but then something clicked the scent on the man's hand it was familiar takaharu he asked his voice shaking is this really you why have you doing this takaharu still keeping his
voice low replied I'll explain everything later but for now you need to trust me we have to get you out of here he handed hio a mask and some clothes put these on we need to make sure akaha doesn't find you H looked confused but didn't have time to argue as he changed takaharu continued you must leave this place escaped to a land far beyond aka's reach his voice was urgent head to the kingdom of Theona it's the only place where her power can't follow you without a second thought hio nodded knowing he had no
other choice takaharu told heo that he would take him to the land of the Oni but to get there they'd need the help of Sakura and the others heo still unsure asked what happens to the curse once I get to the Ona land takah Haru paused then explained the curse can't be removed but we can weaken it the key is to distance you from akaha right now she's still figuring out the full extent of her powers if you manage to escape her influence the curse won't hold as much power over you he added aaha will
chase you wherever you go but the Oni and the Tangi have a strained history she won't be able to just walk into the OM land without resistance he to absorb the information as takaharu continued explaining the layout of the castle and how he could Escape there are many people here takaharu warned you must avoided anyone who looks suspicious or they'll report you to akaha despite the urgency hio couldn't help but question takaharu motives if he's a tangu and works under akaha why would he be helping me heo wondered conflicted and if they've acted like friends
this whole time why betray her now the questions lingered in his mind but for now escaping was the only priority as they made their way through the castle Halls they encountered several servants takaharu greeted them warmly introducing hedo as Tida someone knew who would be helping him the servant smiled and said helping our princess is important please assist takaharu in any way you can they added that takaharu was very kind and approachable so shouldn't hesitate to ask him anything after bidding farewell to the servants they continued on their way as they walked hedo finally spoke
up I have a lot of questions I know you have your own situation going on but I just don't understand everything takahara smile looking ahead you're a good person heo it's clear you can't deceive others you're straightforward ho shook his head and responded you should be careful too don't go around messing with girls with a slight chuckle takaharu said that's funny Sakira told me the same thing once this caught hedo off guard wait Sakira said that to you takaharu nodded a playful glint in his eyes before I came here I well I try to charm
her a bit takaharu then shared a memory with hoo taking him back to a moment when he had confessed his feelings to Sakura he had told her that her sweetness had stolen his heart and that he wanted to be with her but Sakura responded that his words of love should be Sav for the one true love in his life it wasn't her takaharu also opened up to hio about the choices he had made back then hio had always been quiet and reserved yet stubborn in her own way she had devoted herself to him fully but
still held feelings for someone else leaving takaharu unable to return her affection meanwhile back in the present akaha stirred awake as she Rose from her bed she quickly realized that hedo was no longer in the room he had escaped with takaharu
