Becoming Enkidu in DxD-Chapter 336: Haruno’s Midnight Visit!
That night, after dinner was over, inside Yukinoshita Akira's room.
Every piece of furniture was arranged exactly as he remembered. Everything was spotless, not a speck of dust anywhere.
It was obvious that this place was cleaned regularly, and that no one casually touched anything inside.
"Tok—tok—"
Suddenly, a knock sounded on the door, making Akira pause for a moment.
"Come in—"
"Creeak~"
The door was pushed open, and Yukinoshita Haruno stepped inside, wrapped in a thin, light fabric.
The sight made Akira fall silent.
What was this supposed to be? A midnight assault? Delivering herself straight to his doorstep?
"What are you actually trying to do? Tease me?"
"You can think of it that way."
Whether it was her face, her figure, or the curves of her body, Yukinoshita Haruno stood out among women.
Even though Akira had seen and experienced plenty—even figures that could be called goddesses—after coming to this world for several months, as a man who had already "tasted flesh," he found himself completely unable to resist this kind of temptation.
At that moment, Yukinoshita Haruno walked over and casually sat down beside him.
She leaned slightly, then rested her body against his.
The softness he could clearly feel, along with the faint, intoxicating scent of a woman's hormones, made Akira feel overwhelmed in an instant.
This woman truly knew how to light a fire.
"What's this about? Did Mother tell you to come?"
"Maybe yes, maybe no~"
Staring at the man so close to her, Yukinoshita Haruno smiled with a seductive charm.
To say she had never been interested in this man would be a lie. In fact, the more she interacted with him, the more mysterious he felt.
Like a black hole—the closer you got, the harder it became to pull away.
"In the car, you said you didn't want to become a widow and rejected me pretty firmly—"
"A stingy man like that loses points in my book, you know~~~"
A slender finger reached out and pressed gently against Akira's lips, stopping the words he was about to continue.
At that moment, Akira also noticed that Yukinoshita Haruno's face was slightly flushed, and there was a faint scent of alcohol in the air.
She had been drinking.
Not drunk—but definitely halfway there.
"You drank alcohol?"
"Just a little. After all, I'm not Yukino-chan. I don't have courage like hers."
When she said that, Yukinoshita Haruno's tone carried a hint of self-mockery.
Between these two sisters, the younger one had always chased after the shadow of her older sister.
But what the older sister herself had never realized was that, from the very beginning, she had been the one who envied her little sister.
As the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, she had to be a "worthy successor."
She had to smile at everyone, no matter who stood in front of her. Even toward the people she disliked most and wanted to avoid, she still had to greet them with a smile.
Her own feelings didn't matter.
What mattered was the face and the interests of the family.
From childhood to adulthood, Yukinoshita Haruno had lived like that—studying and growing as the future heir of the Yukinoshita family.
Everything had been planned out by her mother—her education, her social circles, the banquets she attended, the connections she had to build.
Wearing a mask called "Yukinoshita Haruno," she lived in the middle of praise and recognition.
But no one ever truly cared about what she wanted.
Compared to her younger sister—who had grown up under her protection and could do the things she liked—the older sister didn't even have the freedom to like something.
And it was precisely because of those childhood experiences that she held an absolute fear of her mother.
She would not—and did not dare to—defy her.
Even now, all it took was a single sentence from Mrs. Yukinoshita—
"If you can't do it, then just let Yukino do it~"
Just that short line was enough to make Yukinoshita Haruno "deliver herself."
And before coming here, she had even drunk a little alcohol—borrowing a bit of courage from the drink.
Don't be fooled by her usual teasing, playful attitude.
When it came to men and women, she actually had no real experience at all.
"I'm not the type of man who turns away meat that walks right up to my door. You still have one last chance to back out."
"Just as expected of Akira-chan. Even in a situation like this, you can still stay so clear-headed. But Onee-san doesn't have a choice anymore. As a daughter… and as a person."
"Then from today on, leave everything to me."
"In that case, this Onee-san will give everything to you."
"Mm—"
The next second, the eldest lady of the Yukinoshita family was the one who launched the first move.
Just as Akira had said, he wasn't a man who would refuse "meat" that came knocking on its own.
And now that his fire had been lit, there was no way he would let the "dish" right in front of him slip away.
Not long after, control completely fell into Akira's hands, and Yukinoshita Haruno truly gave herself to him.
"Akira-chan… you'll always stay by my side, right?"
"Of course. I'll always stay with you."
"Mm~"
From that moment on, one girl disappeared from this world—
And in her place, a woman was born.

Two hours later—
When everything finally calmed down, the entire room was in complete disarray.
Whether it was the alcohol giving her extra courage, or the release of emotions she had been holding in for so long, the commotion they had caused was anything but small.
Now, it was all over.
Yukinoshita Haruno curled up beneath the blanket, like a little kitten.
For so many years, this woman had always been suppressing herself.
To protect her little sister—so that the messy, ugly things wouldn't drag her into them—she chose to carry everything on her own.
Especially family matters—banquets, relationships, connections—she handled them all herself.
In a single week, almost four days, she came home half-drunk.
After all, at every banquet or party, a woman as beautiful as Yukinoshita Haruno always became the center of attention.
And along with that, she also became the target of countless unpleasant gazes.
It was only because of the Yukinoshita family's reputation—and her own intelligence—that she could move among so many people without suffering any real harm.
But that didn't mean it was easy.
A woman—or rather, a girl—carrying so much on her shoulders was bound to feel tired.
But she had to bear it alone.
She had no one to lean on.
Or rather—
She was the one others leaned on.
So she could only support herself.
And now…
It seemed she had finally found a place to rest.
At last, she could let go of the weight on her shoulders—
And sleep in peace.
