Senbura: Masakage Awakening Scene

Yuzuki: Just a bit more and we can see the castle, Masakage-kun. That’s why……hold on a bit more.

Masakage: Yeah, sorry……

While supporting a staggering Masakage-kun by the shoulder, we were walking towards the castle.

In the intense battle, we had strayed away from Shingen-san and the rest, and before we knew it, it was only the two of us.

Yuzuki: (Masakage-kun…I hope he’s alright. He seems to be barely able to walk……)

Yuzuki: (……It’s understandable. Throughout this time, he had been protecting me from pursuers alone.)

*Yakuma roars*

Yuzuki: This sound……isn’t that……!?

Masakage: Damn……Yakuma. It can’t be helped. Stay back.

As Masakage-kun said that, he let go of my arm that was supporting his shoulder, and staggered towards the front.

Yuzuki: Wait……Masakage-kun, are you planning on fighting? With that body right now, it’s absurd!

Masakage: Even if it’s absurd, I have to do it now. If I don’t, you’re going to die.

Masakage: If I get defeated and die here, it’s my own selfishness. However, if I don’t protect you here and now, I can’t just die leaving things like this.

Masakage: Ora…….!(1)

Yakuma: Gwoooo……..

Masakage: Ha……ha…… Who’s next!?

Yuzuki: Masakage-kun……

While his small body trembled, Masakage-kun intimidated the Yakuma. The yakuma moved back a step, overpowered by his appearance.

Masakage: Oraaaaa!!!!

Taking the moment’s opportunity, Masakage-kun struck the yakuma in one go.

Masakage: Ha……ha……look closely. I will absolutely not lose…..!

Masakage: Heh……that was the last one huh……guh!

Yuzuki: Masakage-kun!

Upon seeing Masakage collapse on the ground, I immediately went to his side.

Yuzuki: Masakage-kun……Masakage-kun! Are you okay? Please answerー!

Masakage: ……haha. You’re loud. What’s wrong…you’re crying.

Yuzuki: Guh…ha….ha……Don’t worry. I’ll feel better once I rest.

Masakage-kun’s breath seemed faint, he spoke firmly and wiped my tears off my cheeks.

Masakage: More importantly, you should reach the castle soon if you keep moving ahead. Leave me here, and go ahead.

Yuzuki: I……don’t want that. If you stay here, the yakuma might show up again.

Masakage: But……I can’t move more than this. That’s why, at least you should be safe……

Yuzuki: If that’s the case, drink my blood. If you do that, your stamina will return, right?

As I said that, I approached Masakage while exposing my neck to him.

Masakage: You……But, that’s……

Yuzuki: Just like how Masakage-kun is worried about me, your well-being is important to me as well.

Yuzuki: That’s why……please. Drink my blood.

Masakage: I understand. If you put it that way, I won’t hold back.

Masakage: ……My stamina is at its limit. I might not be able to be gentle……sorry.

After Masakage-kun informed me about that, he pulled my body towards him strongly.

Once I nodded, Masakage-kun forcefully thrusted his fangs into my neck.

Masakage: Nngh……

Masakage-kun hugged my body tighter, and devoured my blood like a beast. His rough breath could be heard right by my side.

The blood in my body felt hot and was boiling excitedly. My heart was pounding, making my chest hurt.

Yuzuki: (What do I do……it’s more intense that I thought it would be……)

Masakage: *gulps*…….ngh….

As my consciousness started to fade, Masakage drew his lips away as if to take a breather.

Masakage: Sorry……!! I unconsciously went into a daze……

Yuzuki: M-mmm. It’s alright. I didn’t feel much of the pain……

Masakage: I see……if so, that’s great.

A gulp from Masakage-kun’s could be heard as he finished. I soon noticed that his gaze was still stuck on my neck.

Yuzuki: Masakage-kun…..if I’m not mistaken, you didn’t drink enough?

Masakage: Eh? Eh……that’s……

Masakage: Sorry……I’ll be gentle this time, so can I have another sip……?

As he tried to make an excuse, Masakage-kun hugged my shoulders tight, and once again placed his lips at my neck.
