"When Reki said those words, 'Because you're dangerous,' everyone's reaction was different.

'Dangerous?'

Fang Li was slightly taken aback, furrowing his brows.

'Oh, oh?'

Riko propped herself up, showing a keen interest in the situation.

'...'

Shirayuki, on the other hand, suddenly fell silent, her eyes turning complex as she looked at Aria as if she knew why Reki had said that.

In contrast, only Aria couldn't help but question it.

"What do you mean by that, Reki?!" Aria's demand, however, her demand wasn't met with a reply.

Reki merely looked at Aria quietly, her eyes— normally devoid of emotion— now causing Aria to feel a bit anxious.

"Say it straight!" Aria shouted in frustration. "Could it be that you're angry with me?"

That's the only conclusion Aria could come to.

After all, Reki's words were too mysterious. Even Fang Li felt that the explanation was a bit far-fetched.

However, Fang Li also knew that, given Reki's personality, that wasn't her intention.

Angry with Aria?

The girl, who had always been emotionless, wouldn't have such feelings.

In other words, Reki was simply stating the truth as she saw it.

Reki genuinely believed that Aria was dangerous.

No.

Perhaps Reki herself didn't even fully understand why Aria was dangerous— she was simply relaying what the entity she referred to as the 'Wind' had told her.

At the same time, Fang Li finally understood the reason behind Reki's sudden proposal today.

"So that's how it is."

With that, Fang Li looked directly at Reki and spoke.

"Because you don't want to see me and Aria together, but you can't stop either of us, you've decided to use this method to separate me and Aria, right?"

That was the only explanation.

Only this could explain why Reki suddenly proposed to Fang Li.

And Fang Li's guess was indeed correct.

"Fang Li cannot be with Aria," Reki stated with stubborn determination, her eyes fixed on Fang Li.

"So, if you need a partner, let it be me instead, and everything will be fine."

That's the situation.

To separate Fang Li and Aria, Reki offered herself as a compromise, proposing a marriage of convenience.

In other words, Reki was prepared to step in as a third party between Fang Li and Aria, to destroy their relationship.

This was likely what the 'Wind' had instructed Reki to do.

Most people thought Reki's proposal to Fang Li was out of love or affection.

In reality, it was more like a political marriage, a strategic move.

"You…" Aria was so angry she couldn't even speak.

"So, Rekyu is planning to become Li Li's wife for that reason?" Riko pouted before she spoke. "Then leave it to me! I love being the third wheel, especially between Li Li and Aria! Just thinking about it makes me all hot, I can't help but want to strip right now."

At that moment, the previously chaotic Shirayuki, who had been so vocal before, lay silently on her bed, her face turned away so no one could see her expression.

Then, Reki silently got down from her bed, holding her sniper rifle, and approached Fang Li.

Her amber-colored eyes stared straight into his.

"Please keep your distance from Aria."

Reki softly declared to Fang Li, "One day, I'll snatch you away."

With that statement, Reki, holding her sniper rifle, and supporting her injured body, left the infirmary.

"What's with her?" Aria gritted her teeth and said, "Did she take the wrong medicine or something? Why is she suddenly targeting me?"

Shirayuki remained lying under her blanket, with only her eyes exposed, staring in the direction Reki had left, her gaze somewhat contemplative.

"But Rekyu really isn't to be underestimated," Riko said, finding the situation amusing. "Talking about 'snatching' someone away—that makes things more interesting, doesn't it?" Then, Riko suddenly waved at Fang Li. "Hey, Li Li, come over here. I have something important to tell you."

"Something important?" Fang Li turned his gaze toward Riko. "What is it?"

Without any particular caution, Fang Li approached Riko's bed.

And in the next second, something unexpected happened.

"Hey!"

Riko suddenly jumped out of bed and stood on it. As Fang Li approached, she threw herself at him.

Then, with no hesitation, her crimson lips pressed against his.

"Mm..."

A soft nasal sound came from Riko's body.

Fang Li's entire body stiffened.

Aria's eyes widened.

Shirayuki's body trembled violently.

"Aaaahhhhhh!"

In the next moment, both Aria and Shirayuki screamed simultaneously.

Because Riko had suddenly kissed Fang Li on the lips.

And not just a simple kiss— it was a deep, passionate one.

Fang Li could only feel a sweet, playful tongue slipping into his mouth, curling around his own tongue, exploring and licking every corner.

The unfamiliar yet pleasurable sensation made Fang Li freeze in place, completely stunned.

By the time their lips parted, who knew how much time had passed?

"Hah…"

Riko let out a satisfied sound, licking her lips in a seductive manner.

"Hehe," Riko giggled, looking at Fang Li. "That was Riko's first kiss. Don't forget it, okay, Li Li?"

Just as she finished speaking, a sword slash came flying in her direction.

"Slash! Vanish!"

Shirayuki, who had somehow jumped out of bed, swung her katana fiercely at Riko.

But before the blade could reach her, Riko had already jumped away, landing at the window of the infirmary.

"Ahaha, the angry Demon Miko is here. Riko better run!" Riko made a playful devil horn gesture with her fingers on her head, sticking out her tongue cutely.

"Yuki Chan, be careful. Riko is a naughty thief, and anything I want, I'll steal for myself. If you don't protect him well, I might just steal Li Li away!" Riko teased with a wink toward Fang Li.

"Li Li, you should be careful too. The Bandire is about to start, and as the hero who broke apart I-U, you better be ready to join the battle!"

With those words, Riko leapt out of the window.

"D-Damn you, thieving cat number three!"

This time, it was Shirayuki's turn to tremble with rage, her eyes even welling up with tears, looking thoroughly aggrieved.

"Ah… Aah…"

Meanwhile, Aria stood frozen like a boiling kettle, completely motionless.

In the end, Fang Li could only smile wryly as he thought to himself.

"Bandire?"

What could that be?

Though he didn't know exactly what it was, one thing was clear:

A storm was coming.
