Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

There were only three days before the decisive battle.

It was impossible to waste their time, so they had to use everything to prepare for the battle.

After all, one mistake would cost their lives.

Tsukasa also brought Haruhime to the dungeon to train her.

Her fighting power was simply zero in this battle, but her support was extraordinary, which was why he taught her an escape and movement technique. After all, what she needed to do was to stay alive. There was no need for her to fight since everyone was right next to her.

Yet when they came to the dungeon, he also decided to teach her how to use her magic gun.

Even though Line had taught Haruhime from time to time, Tsukasa had the "Moon," which was a skill that helped him to teach others to master their skills, abilities, and many others.

As long as he taught someone, they could learn something so easily.

This was also what Haruhime felt since she realized the joy of learning. She also felt that she had become stronger at speed visible to the eyes. Lastly, she could be together with him, by his side, only the two of them, making her even happier.

The two stayed in the dungeon for a day before leaving at night.

They might stay in the dungeon for so long, but Haruhime had learned most of the things that Shishio hoped for her to learn.

"Do you want to rest?"

"No." Haruhime shook her head stubbornly while wiping the sweat on her forehead. "Please continue Tsukasa-sama!"

Even if Tsukasa wanted her to rest for a moment, he knew she wouldn't hear his words. While she might listen to him, she would be dissatisfied since she wanted to do something more. She was saved by Tsukasa, and she wanted to do something for him.

Haruhime also knew that her power was necessary for everyone, especially when they were about to start to fight the Evilus. She might not have been clear about the Evilus before, but when she heard what they had done, such as killing, robbing, and many others, especially when they had killed Line and the other three members of the Loki Familia, she couldn't help but feel a chill.

Fortunately, Tsukasa was there, and he had saved Line and the other three.

However, the price of that was that he had lost his left arm.

When Line told her this story, her eyes always brimmed in tears.

Haruhime was sad, but at the same time, she wanted to help him more and be his power. When he told her he needed her power, she was so happy that she was almost in nine clouds, so she decided to work even harder.

After all, he didn't want to sacrifice herself and only wanted her to stay by his side, supporting him, which made the fire on her spirit burn even hotter!

Tsukasa, who had been observing Haruhime's state, knew what was wrong with her. He also didn't intend to stop her since he knew that it wasn't her limit, and while he knew that his training was quite Sparta, he could see how happy she was when he was tough on her.

While he thought she was a masochist, he knew that wasn't the case.

When someone falls for others, they want to do anything for the person they love.

If their crush asked for help, they would do anything. They were like being cast with a magic spell and blind to everything, devoted themselves to the person they loved.

This was what Haruhime's state is now.

In other words, she might get Stockholm syndrome.

Joke aside, Tsukasa knew that Haruhime was more than happy to do anything for him.

Haruhime wanted to be used by him, not just as a mere maid, but as something more. After all, he even sent Ishtar back to heaven, so he could take her out of that giant cage. She no longer needed to sacrifice herself and could live whatever she wanted.

However, even if she was freed from Ishtar, she didn't have anything she wanted to do.

As for her parents?

Her father had disowned her even though she was being framed. Even if she was sold to the brothel, her father didn't do anything. While she wasn't angry about her father's actions, she no longer believed in him.

As for the others?

When she was in dire, and no one helped her, they didn't come.

Only him.

Only Tsukasa, who only met her one time, came and took her away.

Haruhime only wanted to stay by his side even though she knew she couldn't be his number one. After all, she knew how dirty she was since she had worked as a prostitute in the past.

Yet many of them, who heard Haruhime's words, could only smile wrily since they wondered why this girl didn't realize she was a virgin.

Still, they didn't fix this misunderstanding since she thought so, and she might not believe their words. She would only think that they were just trying to comfort her.

"Okay, it's time to go back, Haruhime."

When the night came, Tsukasa couldn't help but remind her.

"Huh? But I can still continue." Haruhime was quite stubborn.

*Growl!*

"......." Haruhime.

"I am hungry," Tsukasa said awkwardly.

Haruhime blushed, and her stomach also growled. She desperately held her stomach and also agreed to his decision. "Th-Then let's go back."

"Good."

Shishio nodded and put on his mask again.

Haruhime somehow felt disappointed when she couldn't cover his face, but she also knew it was necessary since she knew how dangerous his charm was. She was afraid many foxes might try to tempt him.

The two then walked out of the dungeon while talking about what kind of dinner they should have before they talked about their training.

"Today is enough. The next day, you need to rest."

"Why?"

Haruhime thought they would go out to train again.

"We're about to start our real battle, and we should rest."

"Real battle?"

Haruhime was slightly nervous since she knew it might be her first battle in the Loki Familia. However, she felt a reliable palm on her hair, and he hair was caressed gently, which made her purr. "Shi-Shishio-sama...!"

She was so embarrassed!

"Don't worry. You'll be fine. No one is going to die, and I will protect you."

Haruhime blushed, but she nodded happily.

"Yes!"

The two didn't waste their time and decided to return to the Twilight Manor immediately, but somehow they heard someone called Haruhime.

"...Haruhime-dono?"

Haruhime turned, and her face was in shock.

On the other hand, Tsukasa turned and looked at the girl who had just called Haruhime.

"Who?"
