Chapter 58: Thick as honey

What’s going on!

What the hell is happening!

From a distance, Greed watched Pride’s every move, her initial satisfaction at Pride’s overwhelming dominance turning to seething rage.

She clenched her fists, witnessing Pride kiss Venus on the forehead.

That was something Greed had dreamed of!

Something that would’ve required a deal or even threatening Pride to achieve.

And now Venus, without giving anything, just being “obedient,” got Pride’s kiss!

Greed trembled with fury, unable to accept it!

She couldn’t tolerate this!

Pride was hers—hers alone. No one else could touch her!

If anyone tried, Greed would tear them apart!

Boom!

Watching Pride’s affectionate behavior with the magical girls, Greed erupted.

Endless magic surged, enveloping everything at breakneck speed.

In her hand, she gripped a two-meter-long dark purple magic needle, shimmering with purple starlight.

Without hesitation, Greed hurled the needle at Venus. The unleashed magic instantly obliterated the ground, causing it to quake violently.

Pride’s kindness toward the magical girls was unexpected, easing their fear of her.

“You’re a witch—why do you like magical girls?”

Pansy’s curiosity drove her to ask, but she immediately regretted it.

What if the witch got angry?

The anticipated rage didn’t come.

Pride was always patient with magical girls.

“Why, you ask…” Pride pondered seriously. She couldn’t exactly say it was because she’d once been a magical girl herself, could she?

Before she could answer, a foreign magic surge exploded nearby.

Pride lightly stomped her right foot, and two flower buds sprouted beneath Iris and Pansy, encasing them.

She grabbed Venus and dodged to the side.

The attack was wide and blindingly fast.

Caught off guard, Pride shielded Venus, but her own cheek was grazed.

A trickle of a witch’s blood slid down her tender face, dripping onto the dusty ground.

“Pride!”

Greed’s furious voice echoed from afar, and Pride’s expression turned cold.

“Little ones, get out of here. What’s coming next isn’t for you to witness.”

Compared to the unfamiliar Pride, the three were well-acquainted with Greed, who appeared often.

Two witches at once shocked them.

Venus quickly pulled the others away from the scene.

“Sneaky cat, trying to run?”

Greed’s right hand reached out, grasping the air, and the thrown needle returned to her.

Her usually lazy, charming face was twisted with anger.

“What are you doing, Greed!”

Pride stood in front of her, demanding answers. Both were witches.

Pride wasn’t afraid, even if she couldn’t beat Greed.

She knew those intimate moments weren’t ordinary—Greed definitely liked her!

Emboldened by that affection, Pride stood fearless.

“I’m going to kill that blonde runt!”

Greed growled through gritted teeth. With Pride in her way, she held back the needle brimming with infinite magic.

She could only fume as the “sneaky cat” flew off.

Her grip on the needle creaked.

Pride drifted closer to Greed, and as the distance shrank, Greed’s grip softened.

Pride could see Greed’s angry expression soften.

This puzzled Pride—was Greed’s anger really so shallow?

Testing, Pride drifted back, and Greed’s face twisted with rage again.

Suddenly, Pride felt like she’d unlocked a new world.

Back and forth, left and right, BABA.

Greed’s expression shifted with each move.

A lovesick fool was beyond saving, especially one with unrequited love.

“Pfft.”

Pride couldn’t hold back a laugh, and Greed’s face flickered with uncertainty.

“What’s so funny? Am I a joke?”

Greed spat through clenched teeth, her anger roaring.

Pride wiped a tear from her eye, floating closer.

“I’m laughing at how cute you are.” Pride cupped Greed’s furious cheeks. “What she got, you have too.”

Mua~

Pride tilted her head, standing on tiptoe, planting a soft kiss on Greed’s nose.

Their height difference was too much—she couldn’t reach Greed’s forehead.

The scent of Pride’s lips lingered on Greed’s nose, turning her already flushed face even redder.

Greed was shy.

Then came wild joy.

Greed’s eyes widened, mouth agape, unable to believe Pride had kissed her.

This was what she’d dreamed of, and it just happened?

“Pride!”

Greed shouted her name joyfully, hugging her tightly.

“I knew you had me in your heart!”

Greed pressed her face to Pride’s forehead, breathing heavily with excitement.

Her hot breath hit Pride’s face, making it hard to keep her eyes open.

“Pride~ You like me too, right?”

“Right? Right? Right! I’m in your heart~”

“Pride~ Pride~ Pride!”

Greed was acting strange, overly excited.

Pride sensed something was off, trying to break free, but it was too late.

“Pride~ I love you so, so much~”

“Wait!”

Pride’s plea didn’t work. Greed swiftly and roughly claimed her lips.

Greed’s strength overpowered Pride, pushing her from the building’s top to the ground.

They crashed into one of the few intact convenience stores, now deserted.

Backing up, Pride’s leg hit a chair.

She fell with a thud, and Greed pounced, sitting on her lap.

Pride tried to resist, but Greed pinned her hands.

The more she struggled, the crazier Greed’s response became.

Greed seemed to misinterpret Pride’s resistance as reciprocation.

Damn it!

Pride cursed inwardly—she’d gone too far!

After what felt like ages, Greed finally pulled back her exhausted tongue.

Her cheeks flushed, eyes brimming with love, gazing passionately at Pride.

To Greed’s fervor, Pride responded with cold indifference.

Her face was blank, utterly stunned.

All she could feel was the numbness and pain on her lips and the fading warmth on her tongue.

“Pride~ Pride~ Pride~”

“You’re mine forever~”

Greed hugged Pride’s head, murmuring endlessly, her eyes overflowing with love like a fountain.

Thick as honey.
