My Girlfriends Are Hardcore Yanderes - Chapter 71

Chapter 71: A Threat Emerge
“I…” Yuki tried to speak, but a sharp pain shot through her head. She clutched her temples, fingers digging into her scalp, as though holding herself together.

Memories of her life in the illusionary world began to slip away.

Noticing her distress, Asher reached out and placed a hand on her shoulder to steady her.

The pain slowly faded, replaced by the warmth of his hand.

A sob escaped her chest, tears spilling down her face. She pressed against him, burying her face in his shirt, seeking comfort in his embrace.

“I’m so happy that you’re back,” she whispered.

He didn’t fully understand what Yuki was experiencing, but something in him told him she needed comfort.

Without thinking twice, he wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.

He rested his chin gently on her head, letting her cling to him as her cries softened against his chest.

For a moment, he just sat there, steady and calm, giving her the warmth she needed.

Meanwhile, Lucy watched in silence, jealousy filling her chest.

This time, it was Yuki who had saved him, and she felt she had no right to intrude.

But watching them together, seeing Yuki so comfortable in his arms, stirred her emotions.

She took a step back, creating some distance, unsure if she even wanted them to notice her there.

Part of her wanted to turn away entirely, to give them their moment, but another part ached for his attention, for him to look up and noticed her too.

Asher glanced over Yuki’s shoulder, catching Lucy’s eyes for a brief second.

He gave her a small, reassuring nod, as though silently thanking her too. It was subtle, but it eased her heart, just a little.

Before Lucy could smile back, Yuki pushed him away slowly, her eyes widening as a sudden realization hit her.

“You’re in danger. Someone wants to take you, and she’s really strong!” Her words tumbled out in. “I don’t know how much time we have, but she’s coming.”

Lucy’s eyes widened, glancing at Asher, who looked just as stunned.

She stepped closer to Yuki, her voice low and worried. “Who is she? What do you remember?”

Yuki’s face twisted in pain. She pressed her fingers to her temples, her shoulders trembling.

“I don’t know how much longer I can remember… but I know she’s strong. She said she’s coming for him.” Yuki paused, her face twisting from agony. “She has blonde hair and blue eyes.”

“Blonde hair and blue eyes?” Lucy repeated with a surprised look.

Those traits might not be rare in the human world, but in the supernatural world, blonde hair and blue eyes were usually the features of angels.

“Are you sure?” Lucy asked, trying to keep her voice calm.

Yuki nodded, pain flashing across her face. The harder she tried to recall, the more shad to endure the backlash. If not for her will power, she would had already forgotten .

“I’m sure. That’s what she looked like. But… my memories are fading.”

The more Lucy heard, the more she felt certain it really was an angel.

They were beings not meant to be seen, and if someone accidentally did, their memory would fade—at least, that’s what the ancient scriptures said.

Lucy didn’t know much about them either, since True Heaven had sealed itself off long before she was born.

“I think we still have time,” Lucy said, breaking the silence. “If she could cross into the human world so easily, she would have already taken him and…”

Before she could continue, Asher raised his hand, looking between the two of them.

“Sorry to interrupt, but what are you two talking about?” His face was filled with confusion.

“You don’t remember anything?” Yuki asked.

He shook his head. “All I remember is blacking out in the warehouse. Next thing I know, I’m here with you.”

Lucy’s face tensed. “So there’s really nothing? No recollection of anything in between?”

“Nothing,” he responded, running a hand through his hair.

Lucy let out a small sigh, glancing at Yuki before turning back to him.

“Look, we think someone from… well, from Heaven, might be after you,” she said slowly, choosing her words carefully. “We’re talking about an angel.”

Asher blinked, processing her hard to believed words. But then he remembered—he had a demon and a ghost for neighbors.

An angel wasn’t that surprising, he supposed. Where there was darkness, there would always be light.

“An angel? After me?” He looked doubtful. “Why?”

Lucy touched her chin thoughtfully

“Could it be that she likes you? Did you somehow manage to flirt with an angel without us knowing?”

“Of course not, you know you’re my first…” Asher stopped himself, his words trailing off as he realized how that might sound. He cleared his throat, trying to steady himself.

“First what?” Yuki raised an eyebrow, her curiosity mixed with a hint of suspicion.

“Nothing.” He shook his head, a bit embarrassed.

After her reaction earlier, he’d picked up on the fact that Yuki probably liked him too, and the last thing he wanted was to say something that would hurt her.

He might not be an expert in reading between the lines, but he knew telling a girl who had feelings for him that he had slept with someone else wouldn’t end well. Especially if that girl was in front of them.

Yuki narrowed her eyes, studying Asher’s face, then turned to Lucy, whose cheeks had gone slightly pink.

“What’s with you two?” she asked, suspicion creeping into her voice.

Lucy blinked, snapping out of it, her blush deepening. “What? Nothing! I was just… uh… thinking about the angel.”

Yuki’s frustration grew as she stood up, ready to have a word.

But then Asher’s hand gently touched her wrist, stopping her.

“Let’s focus on the problem first,” he said quickly, trying to shift the conversation back on track.

He didn’t want to get caught up in the weird, uncomfortable tension building around him.

Yuki wanted to speak, but she was interrupted.

“I still don’t know anything about that angel. What’s more important is that we figure out our next move,” he pointed out.

The two women exchanged a brief look, a silent understanding passing between them.

They both knew they had to keep their emotions in check, especially when Asher was around.

Plus, it wasn’t the right time for any distractions. They had bigger things to deal with.

Yuki gave a small nod, a sign of agreement, and then turned her attention back to Lucy. “You said that we still have time? What do you mean by that?”

Lucy took a deep breath, her fingers tapping gently on her arm as she tried to find the right words.

“Alright, let me break it down. Angels live in Heaven, but that place is sealed off. She can’t just come to the human world whenever she wants, and even if she could, there would be restrictions on her.”

“Why not?” Asher asked. “You don’t seem to have a problem being here.”

Lucy shook her head. “You have the wrong idea. Demons and Devils are different. I came from the Demon World, and it’s not really separate from the human world. Heaven and Hell, though, are.”
