209 Yumeko's Craving for Tainted Love
The cookie was crisp. A lingering fragrance lingered on the lips and teeth. A strange aroma spread across Haruno's taste buds.
Her eyes lit up — this cookie was exceptionally delicious. It was completely unlike those cookies from high-end bakeries. If she had to describe it, Haruno felt she could sense Jabami Yumeko's heartfelt intention in the cookie.
The word "heartfelt" might seem abstract, but when it was actually tasted — that wonderful flavor truly existed!
It was like the purest spring water from the mountains, steeped with the freshest and most tender seafood from the deep sea, combining both the wildness of the mountains and the flavor of the ocean. Although this kind of praise seemed a bit distorted for just a cookie, this was Haruno's first impression after tasting it.
Even though Haruno had a poor impression of Jabami Yumeko — at one point suspecting this woman of wanting to harm her and her sister — this cookie filled with sincere intent really reversed Haruno's impression. Now, instead of being cold toward her, Haruno's stance shifted to neutral.
"It's delicious!" she praised, and subconsciously asked, "How did you do this? I've never eaten a cookie like this before."
"That's a secret I can't tell~" Yumeko's charming face blushed a seductive red, and as a pink-scented breath escaped her lips, she crossed her index fingers in front of her chest. "Because it's a family recipe passed down through the generations — as long as the customer enjoys it, that's all that matters."
"I see, I was being impolite," Haruno realized her words were a bit presumptuous and quickly apologized.
Hikigaya found it strange.
So the Jabami family had culinary recipes passed down through generations? Why hadn't Yumeko ever shown that side of herself at home?
Out of curiosity, Hikigaya picked up one of the cookies filled with Yumeko's affection and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly. He hoped Yumeko's cookies could wash away some of the guilt in his heart.
After all, in front of his girlfriend and his secret lover, he had drunk a cup of coffee containing another woman's saliva. That kind of thing… was too shameful to even speak of.
But Hikigaya hadn't noticed — behind the bar counter, Honebami Miroslava was no longer excited.
She looked dazed and devastated, as if struck by something terrifying.
She muttered to herself, "So it can be done like that too… Next time, I'll use that method to humiliate Hikigaya…"
The cookie was crushed in Hikigaya Hachiman's mouth. It truly was delicious, he admitted.
But this taste… he felt like he had tasted it somewhere before. Where was it?
As he tried to recall, scenes of his time with Yumeko flashed through his mind, eventually settling on the time he first brought her home — the bowl of white rice porridge she cooked.
Although the types of food were different, the taste experience was exactly the same.
So Yumeko had already used the Jabami family's special secret recipe back then. Really now… and she never even told me.
The corners of Hikigaya's mouth slightly curled up. To stumble upon such little secrets between lovers made his heart feel warm.
Even if Yumeko's strange little preferences were hard to accept, it didn't stop her from being a lovely girl!
The cookies filled with Yumeko's emotions entered his body, and Hikigaya's love for her deepened even further.
He could clearly feel her heartfelt emotions.
Seeing how highly the two praised the cookies, Yukino also curiously picked one up.
Her soft lips opened slightly, and her teeth gently bit down. The cookie… brought an indescribable taste to her heart.
In terms of flavor, yes, it was delicious.
But there was a vague sense of rejection and disgust — a feeling that made her nauseous.
She instinctively wanted to spit it out.
Haruno, sharp-eyed, immediately noticed her sister's intent. That won't do, Yukino.
Doing so would lower her image in Hikigaya's mind, making him think she was rude.
Haruno quickly shot her sister a stern glance — this cookie was obviously delicious, why act so discourteously?
Yukino met Haruno's gaze and, placing a hand over her mouth, resisted the discomfort in her heart and slowly swallowed the cookie.
She understood that spitting it out would indeed be rude.
Doing so would likely worsen her impression in Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes.
Besides, perhaps it was just a psychological issue causing the nausea.
Yukino couldn't bring herself to prioritize her discomfort over others' happiness. In the end, she was an incredibly gentle girl deep down.
The cookie containing Yumeko's heartfelt emotions entered Yukino's stomach.
She reached out to touch her flat belly — it felt warm and comforting.
But during the process of swallowing, two streams of tears unknowingly flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Huh? What's… happening to me?" Yukino subconsciously wiped her tears, not wanting Hikigaya to see her in such a vulnerable state.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Hikigaya asked instinctively, though with Yumeko present, he refrained from appearing too concerned.
But still… Yukino Yukinoshita's fragile, sorrowful expression stirred a deep urge in him to protect her.
The porcelain doll beauty Yukino — in a feeble, worn-down state.
"I'm fine." Having recovered from the nausea, Yukino expressionlessly finished the rest of her cookie.
Though it had felt unbearable at first, once her body got used to it, it was no longer a problem.
She accepted Yumeko's emotions.
Yumeko looked at the three people in front of her with satisfaction.
All of them had completely eaten the cookies she made with love — her cheeks remained flushed the whole time.
For her, this was overwhelming fulfillment.
She returned to the bar counter and whispered to Honebami Miroslava.
"Miroslava-oneechan, you weren't doing anything strange behind the scenes earlier… were you~?"
Having recovered from her dazed state, Honebami Miroslava's lips curled up. She bent her voluptuous body slightly, leaned close to Yumeko's ear, and whispered:
"My saliva… is already inside Hikigaya Hachiman's body."
Yumeko's pupils shrank.
She instinctively placed her hands on the edge of the counter, steadying herself so she wouldn't collapse from overwhelming excitement.
This girl… really does have that kind of fetish.
Just as Hikigaya had seen through Miroslava completely, now Miroslava had also seen right through Yumeko.
Jabami Yumeko, after obtaining that ultimate form of love, now craves for it to be tainted by other women.
The more impure it becomes, the more pleasure she derives.
As long as Hikigaya Hachiman's love remains bound to her, no matter how dirty it gets, she doesn't care.
But if that love ever breaks completely — if she has to seek it from someone else — that will be the moment Jabami Yumeko falls into the abyss.
Truly insane—
Chapter 210: Yumeko: Goshujin-sama~
Miroslava's eyes shimmered. She suddenly thought of an even more exquisite way to humiliate Hikigaya Hachiman.
For someone as rational as him, humiliation might not yield the best result.
But what if it targeted his beloved—Jabami Yumeko?
A dangerous aura radiated from Honebami Miroslava as a scorching thought formed in her heart. If it's like that... he'll break, won't he?
But just thinking about the fury that would erupt from Hikigaya Hachiman once he finds out—fury directed solely at me—what an intensely painful joy that would be~
Wonderfuull~! Miroslava licked her plump red lips.
This sort of thing, no other woman could pull off.
After all, desecrating someone else's love—Miroslava couldn't do that.
But Yumeko is different.
"If she finds pleasure in impure love... then she can't blame me for being impolite."
Her tone light, she spoke in a low voice to Yumeko, "Jabami Yumeko, you're that kind of person, aren't you?"
"Hmm?"
Yumeko neither denied nor confirmed, instead letting out a soft, stifled moan, indicating that her heart was not calm.
"I've completely seen through you~" Miroslava's index finger slid across Yumeko's soft, fair cheek and down her alluring snow-white neck. "I can help you obtain that pleasure~ but you'll need to cooperate with me~"
"H-How?" Yumeko's heart skipped. If pleasure was the bait, she had no way to resist it.
"I need to make Hikigaya Hachiman feel anger—direct that rage toward me. And since you're the one he cares about the most..." Miroslava said meaningfully, "You understand, right, Yumeko?"
"We Honebami clan are responsible for purging impurities harmful to the Hundred devouring family. Extracting intel, humiliating enemies—that's what we do best."
"If the target of humiliation is you, Hachiman's rage will be absolutely delightful."
Yumeko listened to Miroslava's words. A crimson light flickered in her eyes, the temptation of extreme ecstasy seemingly ready to consume her sanity.
But…
Yumeko seemed to think of something, and the madness in her gaze gradually faded.
She shook her head. "Let's not, Honebami Onee-sama."
"Hm? Why?" Miroslava was surprised.
She had believed she'd fully seen through Yumeko.
Based on her pursuit of pleasure, she shouldn't be able to refuse such ecstasy.
"If Hachiman doesn't consent, I won't work with someone else to hurt his emotions."
Until now, everything Yumeko had done in pursuit of pleasure was within limits.
Even the most extreme moments, like those playful games in the student council room with Momobami Kirari and Shimotsukiuri Ouri, had happened under Hikigaya Hachiman's tacit approval.
It was the same with Miss Haruno—they'd all had fun.
But if she cooperated with Honebami Miroslava and acted without Hachiman knowing, causing him to feel rage... that would cross the line.
All the pleasure Yumeko sought was built upon one premise: not hurting Hikigaya Hachiman.
"Looks like Hachiman won't accept you, Honebami Onee-sama."
"So, I refuse."
"Heh... I see." Miroslava sounded a bit disappointed. Then she changed her tone: "But you and Hikigaya Hachiman have completely piqued my interest now."
"As a hunter, I won't easily let go of my prey."
"I will hunt Hikigaya." She declared.
Yumeko didn't show any particular reaction.
Her hands rested behind her back as she smiled sweetly and calmly.
"If Honebami Onee-sama can really do that, I won't object~" Yumeko paused, then added: "If at that time, Hachiman accepts you, then I'll agree to the thing you just asked me to do."
"You... really are something," Miroslava muttered, momentarily unsure how to describe this woman.
From a perverse perspective, Yumeko was an extremely deranged person—but one still bound by the chain called love.
"I'll use the cruelest ways to humiliate Hikigaya Hachiman," Miroslava said coldly, beginning to chant: "I'll make him drink water stirred with my toes, cover his face with socks I wore all day, make him kneel and clean my feet..."
"Even so, Jabami Yumeko, you wouldn't mind?"
"Haaah~" Yumeko stepped forward and cupped Miroslava's hand, pressing it against her left breast.
At the same time, she reached up and gripped Miroslava's chest tightly. The two shared the trembling of each other's hearts.
Panting heavily, Yumeko said, "If Honebami Onee-sama can really push Hachiman to that extent, I'll submit to you~"
"I'll kiss him right in front of you after you've done all those maddening things with him. And if Hachiman falls into the abyss, I'll fall with him without hesitation."
"Of course, Honebami Onee-sama, who wants to turn Hachiman into a little dog, will end up being tamed by him instead~"
"At that time, maybe you'll be the one kneeling on the ground, calling me Master~"
With that, Yumeko's hand fiercely squeezed Miroslava's chest.
Then she began to demonstrate: dressed in white stockings, she slowly knelt down on both knees.
Her moist, glimmering eyes looked up at the high-and-mighty Miroslava with a pure and innocent gaze, and from her lips came a thrilling word: "Nishu-jin-sama~" (Second Master~)
"Fufuhaha, as expected—without you, Hikigaya just wouldn't be Hikigaya!"
"Because you exist, Yumeko, playing with Hikigaya becomes complete fun~"
Miroslava crouched down and used her gloved hand to pinch Yumeko's pale, smooth chin.
"I'm liking you more and more, Yumeko." "Originally, as fellow members of the Hundred Devouring family, I shouldn't be saying these things to you. But since you're so cute, let me give you a reward—some intel about the Hundred Devouring."
Miroslava's smile faded. "Some members of the clan seem to be planning something big. If you don't want to be devoured, better prepare early, Yumeko."
"Even if you're going to be devoured, it should be by us Honebami clan. I want you and Hikigaya to become my toys."
Yumeko's eyes glinted. "That's unfortunate, Honebami Onee-sama, because Momobami Onee-sama also wants Hachiman and me to become her toys~"
"The Momobami family head always likes to push her prey to the brink before enjoying them. I'm different," Miroslava said playfully. "Before you become her toys, I'll break you two first."
