Screech!
Then Damon finally stood up, his chair scrapping behind him.
“Hey, you.”
He turned and began to head towards Yuri, who was cleaning the windows.
Gilbert thought Damon was trying to do something bad to Yuri and despite feeling cold sweat, he quickly tried to obstruct him.
“S-Sir! What problem do you have with our employee…!”
Damon grabbed Yuri’s hand which held the dust cloth and upon his next words, the atmosphere in the coffeehouse instantly turned chilly.
“You, be my woman.”
“…”
Yuri gazed at Damon with a serious look on her face and thought:
This second lead must have gone crazy.
Part 11: What do you mean, birth secret? I have no such thing.
–
“Oh? Ms. Yuri, your expression isn’t very good today.”
When I heard what Snow said, I frowned a little. I wasn’t aware that my bad mood was showing on my face.
“Ugh, it’s because a strange customer came.”
Gilbert replied for me. Of course, that ‘strange customer’ was Damon Salvatore who came earlier.
When I recalled the good-looking face of the man that appeared out of nowhere, spouting ridiculous nonsense like ‘be my woman’, my stomach boiled once again.
When Snow heard Gilbert’s words, he went ‘ah’, like he understood.
“I guess someone came onto Ms. Yuri again.”
“That nobleman looked perfectly normal too. Ai.”
“For that kind of thing, you usually can’t tell from the outside. There are many guys who look okay on the outside but are weird inside.”
“I know. I don’t understand why a young man is like that.”
Snow didn’t even know what happened, yet he was agreeing enthusiastically with Gilbert.
Come to think of it, if Snow was Genos Sheldon then he should know Damon Salvatore. Then, was their relationship as bad as it was in novel?
I hoped it wouldn’t happen again but if Damon Salvatore came to the coffeehouse again, there was a chance of him encountering Snow.
Inwardly, I wasn’t too pleased with the idea.
Damon Salvatore was supposed to buy the ruin’s fragment or whatever it was called from me. I sent a secret note a while ago but there was no reply, and in the midst of that, he suddenly appeared at the coffeehouse. So honestly, I was a little surprised at first.
Of course, there was no way he knew I was the one who sent the note.
Either ways, Damon Salvatore seemed to be more of an eccentric character than in the novel.
I cleared an empty table while hoping he wouldn’t come back to the coffeehouse if he was going to spit out such nonsense.
* * *
It was nighttime.
“Mr. Lakis.”
Yuri walked up to Lakis after coming out of the bathroom. Lakis had washed up first before changing his bandage and was currently re-dressing himself.
Then when he heard the voice calling his name, his hand stopped mid-button. And right after he turned to meet her eyes, Yuri’s hand moved towards Lakis.
The moment her hand touched him, Lakis’ eyes trembled.
—Haaaaa.
The bug in his head once again sounded like it was melting.
Now, Yuri no longer waited to get used to Lakis, and even took his hand first without reserve. The moment their hands touched, warmth began to rise in Yuri’s face.
“It’s late.”
“…”
“When are you going to sleep?”
Her voice which was slightly softer than before, tickled his ears. As she had just come out of the shower, a sweet scent was radiating off of her. Her long hair, still damp from the bath, flowed over her shoulders and shook softly in front of Lakis’ eyes. Her red eyes, also with a hint of wetness to them, stared at Lakis.
Lakis was slightly stiff as he took in at Yuri’s appearance.
This was definitely not temptation or anything of the sort. The meaning in her words was always much simpler than Lakis thought. The problem, however, was that this by itself already felt too tempting for him.
“…”
Lakis found it hard to pick what to say. Because no matter what he said, none of it was suitable to express the emotion screaming in his mind.
Then Yuri, who was staring at Lakis, tilted her head slightly to the side and spoke again.
“If you can’t think of when, just go to bed early.”
And she pulled his hand, which was in her grasp.
“You don’t have anything to do anyways.”
Honestly, she didn’t really use much strength. However, Lakis was pulled out of his seat, almost like he was drawn by a magnet. Yuri took Lakis like that and headed to her room.
And a while later:
The two of them were lying on the bed in Yuri’s room.
“That reminds me, there was a very strange person today.”
A soft voice swept through the faint moonlit bedroom.
“I didn’t think they were that kind of person initially.”
The atmosphere in the bedroom was very peaceful. Just like the previous night, Yuri and Lakis lay on the bed holding hands. Yuri lay facing the ceiling as she talked while Lakis lay on his side, leaning his head on his hand as he looked down at Yuri.
There was a profound gleam in Lakis’ lowered eyes, seeped in shadows. Some of his buttons were undone, exposing his neck and collarbone which made for a very tempting image.
However, Yuri didn’t seem very interested in Lakis’ current appearance. Today’s Yuri was oddly talkative.
“I never thought I’d hear such a drama-like line in my life.”
Sometimes, there was a word he couldn’t understand, but Lakis quietly listened to what she was saying by her side.(1) It was comfortable so maybe that’s why she was talking more than usual.
Actually, it had been a really long time since Yuri spoke to someone for so long like this. It had also been a long time since she talked with someone before going to bed at night. So far, she hadn’t exactly desired such an experience but…
After holding Lakis’ hand, she felt like she could tell for sure. Perhaps inwardly, she had wanted to have something like this.
Time where she could spend with someone else.
A trivial but enjoyable time where you gathers together in the evening and talks about your day.
“Who says ‘be my woman’ out of nowhere, is it the trend among nobles to hit on each other like that?”
And the moment he heard the words coming out of Yuri’s mouth, Lakis froze.
‘What did I hear just now?’
Someone asked her to be their woman?
…Which bastard is this? What punk?
“Who is this…?”
Lakis unconsciously asked.
At that, Yuri glanced at Lakis. She looked like she was pondering something for a moment. Then maybe she decided it was a little difficult to answer because she soon replied evasively.
“Mm, just someone.”
Lakis made a decision.
‘I have to go to that coffeehouse myself.’
He remembered seeing a bunch of useless guys before and figured it must be one of them. Lakis was annoyed.
Yuri also stopped speaking after that, so the room was silent again.
Suddenly, Lakis felt something wriggle on his hand. His hand, which was in Yuri’s tight grasp felt ticklish. For some reason, his heart also felt a little ticklish and his feelings were mixed.
Like the annoying bug said, he had no experience in this area, but he at least knew that this sort of thing was just on the level of child’s play. The desires fluctuating in him weren’t that clean and tame.
But not knowing what Lakis was thinking, Yuri slowly blinked her eyes like she was getting a bit sleepy and turned to the side, locking eyes with him. Then she fearlessly said words that stimulated him.
“Mr. Lakis, your hand is warm. I want to keep holding it.”
…was she really doing this unknowingly? Or did she know?
Did she think he could stay still despite all this? Was he supposed to endure this?
Finally, the suppressed wildness in Lakis fiercely rose to the forefront.
Fwip!
The next moment, a dark shadow was cast over Yuri’s sight.
“You’re too…”
A low voice came from the base of his throat as his breath scattered right above her nose.
“Too defenseless.”
He clasped their intertwined hands a little tighter and pushed it against the bed. Lakis, who was just lying next to Yuri, was now hovering over her in the blink of an eye.
The white moonlight seeped into Lakis’ blue eyes, giving it a deep blue hue.
“Are you like this with anyone?”
The low voice whispering to her was enticing.
Unless she was a fool, there was no way she wouldn’t know what was going on. The atmosphere right now was filled with a dangerous sense of sexual tension.
However, it was strange.
Lakis was certainly a dangerous person but for some reason, as she looked into his eyes, she didn’t think he would do anything to hurt her. Even in this situation, she felt no sense of crisis and simply revealed what she was honestly thinking.
“No. I’m only like this with you.”
In the end, Lakis was the one agitated. He froze for a moment then his head dropped towards Yuri.
“…what does that mean.”
He placed his forehead on Yuri’s shoulder and mumbled like he was talking to himself. His ears were slightly red.
Although it was dark, Yuri’s eyes exceeded that of humans, so she noticed it.

Thank you so much for the chapter!!!!!!
:3
So excited for next chapter (≧▽≦)
That Damon *speechless*
Damon finally get to know the reason for other male lead visits.
May Damon soul be blessed and dont end up in hands of Lakis..
It just shows that novels aren’t dependable when you yourself transmigrate.
Heyo, Lakis would go to the coffeehouse now for sure to ‘claim’ Yuri now lololol
AHHHH YURIIII YURIIII AAAAA
THAT DAMON, he must have had hit his head somewhere! I don’t believe in love-at-first-sight that made him confess to Yuri at all.. WHERE IS ANNE MARIE, BARRICADE YURI FROM ALL THESE WOLVES!!
I wonder how Lakis and Anne-Marie relationship would go, though… He wasn’t even trying to conceal himself back then when he saved her. Or did he erase her memory already?
Must have erased otherwise with AM nature she wouldn’t have been so cheerful after that .. especially she got kidnapped outside Yuri house .
Oh the hazards of the service industry… ʕノ•ᴥ•ʔノ ︵ ┻━┻
Alas, it seems more like Yuri is the shield for Anne Marie… but at least Yuri can defend against the suitors for the most
Thank you again and please take care, Miss Ruby ʕ♡˙ᴥ˙♡ʔ
O H M Y G O D
I hope this great atmosphere won’t be cut like this I hope there is a continuation PLEASE LET THERE BE A KISS
Heh Heh. Just wait for it 😘😏
Oh my oh my!!! Bless our hearts!! Thank u sooooo much for this!!
Thanks for the update
Kyaaa I’m swooning lol
This novel really has me hooked.
I’ve literally followed this book since the updates from the previous translator and I just can’t seem to let go of it!!!!
Amazing!!!
Btw, you’re not alone Lakis to have red ears, cuz I have it too now after reading this chapter!!
Note to translator,
It would be nice to have 3 chpts per week ngl.
(Like this comment if y’all agree with me)
It would of course be great to have more chapters but i think this pace is alright. It is already much faster than some translations out there so i dont think we really need to pressure the translator for more
Yeah, pressuring the translator could do the opposite which is making them slow updates down or dropping the story all together :((
When one wants more chapters, then asking if the translator wants some help would be more effective 🙂
Oh, GOD. Lakias is going to the coffee house. You just know the other three will also show up at once and honestly I suspect Ann Marie will be tossed in also. We’re really going go full chaos when he comes to spy on her. most of the clientele are bugs to him those three are pure bred problems. I can’t wait to for him to realize the top three bachelors on the continent are all converging at her workplace.
We’ve been getting very little bug commentary lately. It’s probably going to lose it’s mind when it realizes that the price,the knight, and the sorcerer are all interested in Yuri. Three sparkling rich boys vs Lakias’s big ball of darkness.
It feels weird to have Yuri so chatty. She may think a lot but she rarely voices those thoughts. Prolonged Lakias contact has really been effecting her and vice versa. I can understand him not having much experience due to horror childhood then getting the bug to peep in at all his thoughts and actions. It’s so funny and cute for this giant evil murder buy to go soft and innocent for her. I’ve heard of the cuteness gap before but damn if i never understood it until now. It probably helps that Yuri trusts him so damn much and he perfectly never betrays that trust.
Thanks for the chapter. This chapter was pure bliss!
Thank you for updating!!!
Hoooo~! I can feel the heat rise to my face just reading this!
Thanks for the chapter! 😘
Damon is gonna get smacked HARD one day 😅
What would be even better is if the person who does the smacking is YURI HERSELF! Like, “What the crap are you saying, you idiot Second ML?” [SMACKS HIM SO HARD IN THE HEAD]
Honestly speaking, though, Damon is the kind of idiot that is going to say something SO FREAKING STUPID (and not even REALIZE how bad what he’s saying actually is) that he’ll end up getting KILLED, not just smacked, lolol!
*Desmayada in spanish*
Thank you for the chapter!
Lol at first Yuri’s actions confused me. I was wondering why would she do such things (holding hands, asking him to literally sleep with her, etc.) and even go so far to tell him what Damon said to her when she already got the hint that Lakis had feelings for her… When I realize she might have reciprocated his feelings, although not at the same level and probably in quite a different way. I felt like an idiot lol, but it’s because our Yuri is so indifferent and rational that I unconsciously skip the hints. Really, she’s too indifferent for her own good, but I love that.
Btw, thank you miss ruby for the update!
We’re all so used to super dence protags it’s made us as reader dence to when they are being smart.
Yeah! Want more of this scene! 🙂 Thank you so much for the chapter
Thank you for the lovely chapter.
This chapter heals my heart 🥰🥰🥰
Miss Ruby, what is “Lakis-ssi”? She always say mister lakis, no?
LOL. Lakis-ssi is what I translate to Mr. Lakis. I must’ve subconsciously left it in. I’ll fix that
Then ask him to be your partner for spending the rest of your day(life) kkkk~
Just get married already! Or at least start dating!
(but i will still enjoy their moments of sweetness until that time~)
thanks for the chapter~
Yuri’s eyes exceeded that of humans? What does that mean
Her vision during the night is better than that of not engineered human.
Now… I know I can die satisfied. If there is a kiss scene next!!!
KYAA! This is killing me, I will willingly have a heart attack if this continues!!
THIS IS SO F*CKING KAWAI! CUTE!
I love Yuri! OMGOSH, is there a reaction more cute than hers before a wolf such as Lakis!?
I want more chapters, P.L.E.A.S.E!! *dogeza*
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE CHAPTERS!
I SINCERELY AWAIT FOR THE NEXT WEEK AND DESPISE THAT A TIME MACHINE DOES NOT EXIST RIGHT NOW!
Lolllll she sees him blushing😆
Thank god for her superhuman abilities😂😂
Thank you so much for this exciting chapter hahahaha
God I’m screaming cause of this cliffhanger!!!!! Translator-nim please release the next chapter sooner I can’t wait….😵😵

Thank you for the chapter, Miss Ruby.
Next chapter:
Time to hunting that “someone” – Lakis
Asjfkafkakdbska oh gosh, I love this!! w<) <3 And now that he is going to the coffee shop ahdjwhfksjd. They guys better get ready, for their poor hearts are about to be broken (if not their faces). Thank you so much for the chapter and for your hard work!!! <3 You are the best Miss Ruby!! <3
*ara ara intensifies* ☺️😝
Thanks for the new chapter!
meu deus amo essa novel, to super animada pelos proximos capitulos <3
Thank you for this week chapters, Miss Ruby.
I absolutely adore this story and our two main characters!
The character growth in both of them is exceptional. The author makes it so believable too. Far too often in novels like this the character who is inwardly older hits a cap of how much they can grow, or reverts into a childish protagonist over time, leaving the reading wanting to smack some sense into them.
Yuri stays true to her disinterested personality, but where we see her growth is in two places. Her physical contact with Lakis, we see a normal human, the part where she’s laying in bed talking about her day is so normal, so human, so heartwarming.
The other part is even in her cool headed unattached nature, she cares for those people she deems important.
This chapter was spicy and heart warming. Neither Lakis nor Yuri have had it easy, but in each other they find normality. They find the chance to grow and experience the joy of companionship.
I don’t think there has been two main characters I ship to this extent before.
Yes, it’s reverse harem, but none of the others interest me in the least. They clearly do no belong by her side, not like Lakis does.
They just highlight why Yuri and Lakis are meant for each other.
Thank you for this chapter, Miss Ruby!
Hopefully school and everything else is going well. We appreciate your faithfulness to translating this series.
Be well. =)
Yuri is such a freaking tease.
Aaah i’m squealing~~!!>///<
Miss Ruby i love you!
I love how the gap of how Lakis looks like the type to fiercely jump straight at her but he didn't, like he's really treasuring her
I'd really love to see the looks he gave to Yuri and how Yuri's gaze looks warmer cuz i'm sure she's not as cold as before now
KYAAA 😍 That was sensual but at the same time it was sweet 🙈 Thanks for the chapter! 🤗
What.is.this.sweetness?!!!! Maiheart. uwu 💓
Damon, I think you’ve got the wrong protagonist.. You should be saying this to Ele—… Oops wrong drama.
Kyaa that was so cute. Yuri is a heartless tease. But I wish they had kissed.
And for some strange reason, I can imagine the little of Yuri Larkis Odin Siren and Leo living together.
Thank you for the chap 🙂
I SAID IT BEFORE AND I’LL SAY IT AGAIN….NOW KIIIIIIIITTTTHHHH
Thanks for translation. I am so excited to see new chapter!
I guess they’re going to make out soon 🤭
Squee… my heart is fluttering. This is probably one (of the many) favorite moments I have in this series. I think Yuri and Lakis match really well. And you can really see it in this chapter, the way Yuri comfortably spills her thoughts to Lakis. And to Lakis who would’ve never otherwise been a gentleman, became somewhat tame around her.
oh my I caught up already? I’m getting excited to what will happen next!
GOSH I CANT WAIT IM LIKE CRYING I JUST WANT THEM TO FINALLY REALIZE THEY ARE HORNY FOR EACH OTHER 😭
Thank you so much for the chapter, miss Ruby!
omg omg !!!!! thanks !!!
Theres alot I could say about this chapter and about all the emotions its making it feel but I’ll settle for just making sounds akin to a toad getting straggled.
Fuck…
I …I really love this…Thank you so, so much. If only there were illustrations for thisssssssss-
Why do I want Lakis to just directly “eat” Yuri down to the bone? Lol. I see a progress there~ Sigh, the author sure nicely making the deal about Yuri’s appearance a mystery. People are led to be more and more curious. Thanks for the chapter desu~
♥️😍🥰✌
Just binge read all of this and I so want more. What a place to stop. Thanks for translating this <3
Damon is raising a death flag.
I wonder if Yuri will notice that not only Lakis likes her but all the other guys as well.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH THIS IS SOOO CUTE IM SQUEALING SKSKJDDJJDJDOMGSDHHXHSHSHSHSAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Aaahhhhhh…. I’m screaming on my bed right now. gosh! both of them so cuteee ~~~~~
THE BEST CHAPTER SO FAR. I can’t stop screaming and my heart hurts😭❤️
OH MY GOD IM FANGIRLING
FAVE CHAPTER!!!! 😍😍
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee why do I find this so cute 😀
The most dangerous thing about yuri is when she seduce lakis innocently 🤣
Thanks for chap
Rip too much sugar here.I wonder how the bug treats this? We didn’t have it speaking much all these chaps
I was literally expecting that landmine as went on talking about her day when she finally said “who says… ” i was like kaboom its done, fireworks XD.
Omgoshhh I loved this chapter, feel so warm inside loll
Gosh! You two are really cuteeeeee😍😍😍
This is too much that I can’t breath! Hahahhaha
Yuri’s thought’s: “How come in real life all of the guys *other* than Lakis are complete disappointments? How did the story go so far out of swing?”
Omg… You poor man… You poor virginal pure mass murdering man… Youre a precious coco to her all those she sees as a coco substitute I feel your pain!!!
Ahh I’d be calling her a gdamn coktease!!! What kind of torture are you causing this pure man!!! Dude is a freaking saint!! Shes… A devil in disguise… Oh yes you are … Elvis impersonator enabled
Omoooo what a development
AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! SO CUTE!!!!!!!! OMG!!!
