Mr. Paints
episode 14

Minami was too afraid to look up, her voice was swallowed by the commotion from everyone's mouths.

His ears heated up and he could feel Yoshio's grasp growing stronger as they passed by some of the students who were standing at his feet, staring in surprise at their interaction.

Minami remembers, on the day Yoshio recognized her as a childhood friend. The man's smile, inviting many desires that had been hidden for a long time.

Love's. Minami wants the care of someone-versus-type who gives her warmth as well as protection.

Yoshio's charisma drowned his senses back then. Charcoal black eyes with a smile that always perculum up to the corners of the lips.

That man, like poison to the opposite sex.

If I am destined to get married, Yoshio is the first choice. Minami's inner self at the time.

But now, he regretted ever taking it as one of his most important desires.

Not far from there, a few meters from the top of Chery's branch, Yamashita sat down, watching the first miracle she had made today.

It is not difficult to draw out Yoshio's feelings for Minami. It has existed and been hidden for a long time.

Often, humans consider their own feelings unimportant, hoarding them to become a little regret later on.

Yoshio is one of them. It only takes courage to stand up for the woman in his heart.

"You broke it, gave one of three chances without a second thought, harming Kaguya's daughter" said the sound of the wind gathering beside Yamashita.

The branches containing the plum shoots move slightly as other forms begin to take shape from that air. He was transformed into a god of death complete with a black-haired Nekomata.

The beast meowed, as if greeting another Nekomata in Yamashita.

It took only a few seconds for the god to transform Yamashita into a human form.

Prince Kasetsu grumbled, staring at his long legs that were flying through the air. Although his figure was invisible to ordinary humans, he hated perching like an animal in its original form.

"You have no right to rule me, God! My curse you haven't even lifted even though I've obeyed your orders. This Nekomata-you should pull it from my body. I'm not a pet, so let me go."

The god of death smiled cunningly, pulling the tip of his hand to grab Nekomata who was in his arms. The black beast then growled, tightening each end of its nails, as if expressing hatred.

Instead of being afraid of the dark aura, Yamashita instead clucked in annoyance. This is not the first time he has been threatened. At first he felt intimidated, but then used to.

The blank pale face adorned with the God's gray eye bead, was no longer terrible for him.

Decades had passed since he was appointed to succeed the Emperor at the age of 8. That day was the beginning where Nekomata began to take his place in his body.

Until now, he had no idea why such a terrible thing could happen to him.

Illicit relationships, broken rules and insults are just possibilities that cross his brain why Minami Muruka is also required to pay the debts of the past by subverting herself to others.

In fact, both of them had a big mistake that resulted in thousands of lives in previous lives, slaughtering each other just for personal matters.

In those days, the gods descended and gathered, deciding what punishment was appropriate for the two of them.

Just one to make up for it. Repeated life full of suffering. But not only that. Because at the end of the sentence, the daughter of the moon god, Kaguya Arashi, did not feel the slightest guilt of having had an affair, she would never feel happiness unless her past memories recovered and later regretted it.

But it's not an easy job. In every life, like water and fire both are destined to hate each other. Even the curse of Nekomata, it seemed impossible to reverse the feeling.

"You shouldn't say that, Prince. If you can't understand Kaguya, your curse will never end. Time has stopped for you. So, don't make my patience run low, let your kingdom crumble while you? Will continue to be confined in the body of a demon until this world ends."

The pale countenance of the god of death hardened, reminding of any consequences if Yamashita broke the ultimate covenant between them.

The man finally lowered his head, sweeping away the remaining Nekomata feathers left on his lap.

He felt helpless. The souls of all the important members of the kingdom were in his hands now. History will change if he is not able to live his curse well.

As soon as the God of death left, Yamashita jumped down, darted and transformed herself in the first second of her foot stepping on the ground.

Minami might be somewhere, tortured or something.

Supposedly, the reincarnation of princess Kaguya was not this weak. If in the past, Yamashita regarded the beautiful princess as the astral form of the goddess of beauty, now somehow her physique looks very ordinary. That's why he was very surprised once his desire had appeared at an unexpected time.

Now, the Nekomata leaped calmly, looking for Minami who disappeared from the range of his sight earlier.

Not difficult because from a distance of one kilometer, Yamashita can still feel the scent of his wife's body. Yeah, that girl shouldn't have turned him down at the last minute. Now he must serve someone who once left him in disgrace.

Soon, at the end of the corridor adjacent to the women's toilet, Yamashita finally finds Minami.

He sat down with a slight bruise on the tip of his lip. Messy hair and a trembling groaning sound.

Yamashita was glued, shocked to involuntarily straighten her tail and growled. He could not find Yoshio anywhere. Supposedly, now the man is protecting Minami.

Was the miracle in vain? Or did Yamashita guess Minami's wish wrongly? Whatever it is, Nekomata's magic power has been wasted for nothing.

"You're there, aren't you, Prince?"Minami made a small sound, reflecting her stuffing on the narrow walls of the corridor.

The girl suddenly stood up, looking at him without a blink.

Yamashita meows cynically. Putting on an annoyed face at the same time was angry at the same time.

He hated Minami's tears. Seeing his wife always losing to the situation, made him upset and wanted to eliminate everyone around him now.

"You said you'd do it-all the things I asked for. A prince will not disbelieve, that's what I hear" Minami said staring at Yamashita who jumped down from the window.

The eyes of Nekomata in the form of his animal glittered small, revealing pointed teeth.

A meowing sound came back as if responding to Minami's words.

"Kill me. Let's just end it all today. You must be angry like me. You must also be upset as much as I feel for you. Prince, I can suddenly hate you somehow. You hate me too, right? Therefore, let the god of death pick me up now."

Yamashita muttered in disbelief. They would never even be able to die in any way.

Unless their past business has been considered finished
