Chapter 26: Redemption (4)

[A room service is here!]
While Kimi had cooked breakfast, lunch was supposed to be delivered by the room service.
'I should have cancelled it before starting the session…'
Shrugging, Neji went to fetch the food but when he came back, he found Kimi asleep. It seemed he had driven her a little too far. Her stamina doesn't recharge every minute like him, after all.
Ignoring her, first – he ate his own food then settled some cat food inside the room where Kurai was locked in – then fell asleep beside Kimi.
Since it was already evening when they fell asleep, they effortlessly slept through the whole night.
«—(★)—»
Next day,
"Mhnhm…"
Kimi's eyes twitched under the radiant morning sun. She rubbed her eyelids slowly while a yawn escaped her plump lips.
Sitting up on the bed, she blinked multiple times.
"?"
She tilted her head and looked around. This was Neji's room, what's she doing he–!!
Abruptly, her eyes widened, she recalled what happened yesterday. For a moment, a look of shock appeared on her face before a pleasant smile broke into her face.
"He… he forgave me!!"
She pinched her cheeks with her hands, realising this wasn't a dream – as she felt a huge weight vanish from over her shoulder.
She was forgiven…! That child doesn't hate her anymore, what a development! But...
But, she never wanted forgiveness – she believed she didn't deserve such a thing. She basically ruined the child's life, the same child who used to call her "Onee-chan".
How can such a disgusting person like her deserve forgiveness?
But he still forgave her. How kind he was…
So, even if she didn't deserve this forgiveness – she would accept it. She would accept it to show respect for his kindness.
"Kami-sama…" Kimi breathed out.
But… now there was another problem that she didn't know what to do about.
Sighing, Kimi turned her head around to look for Neji. Her eyes ran over the city outside the glass window before she noticed the bulge under the blanket covering her lower half.
She threw the blanket over, revealing a gently sleeping Neji underneath it who was hugging her legs to sleep.
"Mhf…" Kimi giggled as her hands reached out for his head.
It stopped midway, a conflicting look overcoming her gentle smile – but she shook that look away and continued driving her hand.
Her hand caressed his soft silver hair, the hair that was almost reflecting her face. She had a smile on her face while doing so.
This wasn't that bad, was it?
It was. She lost herself on the soft feeling of his hair as she barely noticed the sigh that escaped her lips.
It's all her fault.
It's all her fault that this innocent-looking child became corrupted enough to blackmail others.
What will his future look like?
What if he becomes a villain with that kind of mindset?
So, if he becomes a villain and gets captured by her once–fellow heroes, wouldn't she be to blame for his misfortune?
'Such an innocent child.' A shiver of sheer guilt ran over her.
He has forgiven her. But that doesn't mean anything. She hasn't forgiven herself.
Her hand stopped ruffling his hair and as she gazed down on his sleeping face.
'I am not in any position to show him the right path, am I?' She mocked herself.
He might become a villain, but was she anyone to change that? Was she, a person who raped a child, worthy enough to show that exact child the path towards justice? She would just be a hypocrite if she tried that.
"So, I would instead be by his side no matter where his life takes him."
Kimi smiled.
'Will he become a hero? If he does, I will make sure to teach him everything I know.
Or will he become a villain? Maybe my Pro Hero side wouldn't accept that… but I would still be by his side.
No, it's not just about what profession he chooses. It's about his choices too. Even if he makes a morally wrong choice – I, Kimi, would be by his side even if the world is against him.'
She suddenly realised what she just thought as a blush appeared on her face. "So this is love, huh?"
How funny, she is in love with an 11-year-old. What a pedophile she was.
"Bleh." She smiled cheekily. "Age is just a number anyway."
She went back to pat his head while noticing movement from his side.
"Mhhm…" he opened his eyes as he stared at her, blinking. "Kimi? The fuck are you doing? Don't touch my hair."
He gently pushed away from her hand from his head and got up with a grumpy look on his face.
"Look what you did!" He looked at the mirror in a corner of the room. "My hair is all messed up."
Kimi giggled softly, enjoying his childish side. Today was probably the first time she giggled this year? Hah, life has been so hard this last year.
"Oh, I am naked. I gotta get some clothes."
While she reminisced over the years that passed, Neji got up from his seat, naked, and went towards the Almira to pick up some clothes.
With a gentle smile on her face, Kimi stared at his figure wearing a white shirt and purple short pants.
'He is kinda cute…' Kimi noted.
It was then, as Neji called:
"By the way,"
She faced his gaze with a curious look on her face.
"You're not gonna take that off?"
He asked, his gaze fixed on the collar on her neck. The writing, "Belong's to Neji", is written on the silver plate attached to it.
Kimi's face suddenly darkened. She felt a slight itch in her heart as the beating sound increased.
"Why?" She asked in a dry voice. "Do I… not belong to you anymore?"
At her question, Neji simply shrugged. She couldn't read him at all.
"I did say you'd be free and I would stop ordering you after I forgive you." Neji buttoned up his shirt. "I can't say I forgave you if I still make you wear that collar, now can I?"
She froze briefly in shock. He was right. He did say that. So she is free now…? She doesn't need to wear the collar that's been shaming her for the past year…?
Kimi breathed in and frowned. "What if I don't want to?"
She asked in a firm voice, to which he raised an eyebrow.
"Excuse me, what?"
"I mean, what if I don't want to be freed?" Her voice was persuasive. "What if I still want to 'Belong to Neji'?"
Neji stared at her with a baffled look on his face. "Oi, the fuck? Am I seeing Stockholm syndrome? Do you know, you just evolved to an S-grade masochist at this moment?"
A blush appeared on her face.
"I- I don't care!" She lightly glared at him with red teary eyes.
"Are you going to abandon me after how you trained me to be like this?" He opened his lips, but Kimi cut him down short. "Don't act innocent, I know you did this intentionally."
Stockholm syndrome? She didn't fucking care. She wanted him to keep manhandling her like that… without that, her life would become so bland…
A silence fell in the room. Kimi waited for an answer while Neji decided on an answer.
"Oy, listen." Neji shot her a serious look. "There is no going back. You can't just say later, 'Ah, I was just horny, I want to end this relationship-' you get that, right?"
He gave her a chance. She didn't take it.
"You'd be mine, and mine alone. You'd barely have any freedom, you'd never get to leave me as long as I don't want to."
He grabbed a smartwatch and played with its alarm. "I won't ask for your word right now. If you still want to be my property, wear that collar for 24-hours. After that," he raised his head and added, "There is no going back."
Kimi thinned her lips and curled her fist up.
She would do it. 24 hours is it? That would pass in a jiffy.
And…
It did pass in a jiffy.
Exactly 24 hours later, after the alarm had rung, Kimi was officially his bitch again. But this time, she was open-minded – she accepted her feelings for him, for his harsh treatments.
This time, she would enjoy everything to its fullest. He wouldn't be a bitch about being raped, she wouldn't be guilty about raping – they would lose themselves in the game of pleasure only.
Yes — Neji didn't like ordering people against their wills, but now that Kimi said she liked being ordered around – this was the start of a perfect master-slave relationship.
'Heh,' The plan was a success.

On the night of the same day, Neji was busy slamming his hips on a certain girl.
"Nyahng~ M-Mastwa!"
The rest of the night was extremely long for the young maid.

Author's Note:
I have only one thing to say for this development: A certain bald man would be proud.
"Bleh." She smiled cheekily. "Age is just a number anyway."
and prison is just a place but...depend which anime world you are in :P
I agree with both...
Take Mushoku Tensei's world for example, where the 'humanity' kind of mutated to breed faster after thousands of years of war that started and ended numerous times, with kids of 7~10 already having the horny of a teenager.
@mrAlpha2020 i mean even in our society it did progress without outside influence to 10 to 13 sometime 8 in very very rare case...... ,still not a reason because they are interested in it and watch po*n to corrupt them further so early when they cant make as good a decision for their own good
guess all the whining idiots left finally
if u don't like story that u need to critize for more than few chapters it's simply not for you so leave before you burst a vein in your idiotic head. it's that simple
hypocrisy xd
Agreed. I'm just glad to finally find a non-goody isekai smut protagonist that isn't actively banging is blood mother or sisters like in "World of women" or "self insert as Superboy in my hero academia" or "A Perverts World". Seriously, incest is rampant.
@Sol_Dragonbane well, who's gonna tell him?
@Starlight24 I really took the L on that lol. Although I don't mind it nearly as much as those other novels as doesn't feel as fetishy. Sometimes I forget she's his sister until they bring it up later.
@Sol_Dragonbane True, but I'd like to know if world of women is something you'd recommend. I tried reading it before, but the ntr vibes man. Same with A pervert's world, i think I'll just avoid that one.
@Starlight24 World of Women is decent I guess. Interesting world and it can get pretty hot; However the end of act 2 is... upsetting. To the point where I couldn't read Act 3 in in a good headspace because the end of Act 2 changed how I felt about everything in the story. I had to drop it after realizing that. But up until that point it's pretty good.
A Pervert's world have some pretty good scenes but really leans into the incest vibe and you can tell the author is definitely an anal man because there's only like two non anal scenes 70 chapters in
