100 Days to Seduce the Devil

"Sigh," Jane sighed in exasperation as she rubbed her temples. "My sister never seems to heed my advice, but thankfully, you were there to protect her," she muttered.

"Don\'t worry, Jane," Hanabi consoled her with a reassuring smile. "I\'ll make sure she stays safe as long as I\'m around." Hanabi\'s expression grew more serious as she continued, "Speaking of which, since you\'re planning to meet Vincent tonight, it\'s necessary that we accompany you to ensure your safety. You mentioned that King Stallion has set its sights on you, and we simply cannot allow you to go there alone. Who knows Vincent is indeed a member of the King Stallion?"

Hanabi\'s unwavering commitment to Jane\'s well-being was evident, and she understood the gravity of the situation.

"Alright," Jane reluctantly agreed, acknowledging the importance of their presence for her safety. "You and Cherry can come with me. But... I also need some private time alone with Vincent."

Jane emphasized this with a heartfelt explanation. "You see, there are things I need to discuss with him that are personal and sensitive. It\'s about our past, and I believe it\'s necessary for us to have that one-on-one conversation before anything else. Afterward, we can all stick together, and I\'ll feel much better knowing that you both are there for support." Jane\'s request stemmed from a deep need to address certain matters with Vincent privately before facing the challenges that lay ahead.

"Okay, sis! We will make sure not to interrupt your conversation with him." Cherry responded, her voice reflecting her understanding of Jane\'s need for privacy. "We\'ll stay close by, just in case you need our backup support." Cherry\'s words conveyed a sense of respect for Jane\'s wishes, along with an underlying concern for her safety.

However, Hanabi\'s determination to protect Jane went a step further. "But Jane," Hanabi added, her voice unwavering and resolute, "If I ever sense that your life is truly in danger, I won\'t hesitate to take action, even if you haven\'t given your consent."

Jane bobbed her head in response. "I\'m good with that."

Once the three ladies reached a unanimous agreement, Hanabi restarted the car and set off for the hospital where Tatsumi had been admitted. Fifteen minutes later, their journey led them to their destination. 

Tatsumi hadn\'t anticipated any visitors that day, so he was taken aback when he saw Jane standing there together alongside Cherry and Hanabi. A radiant smile of pure joy graced his face as he stared at his beautiful goddess. Tatsumi\'s heart swelled with a mix of astonishment and happiness at the sight of Jane, an unexpected and heartwarming surprise.

"My lady!!!" He exclaimed with unbridled enthusiasm, his voice filled with delight and longing. Regrettably, his excitement couldn\'t be matched by his actions, as the injury on his left leg prevented him from running to her.

Jane returned his enthusiasm with a smile, waving at him warmly. She began to walk toward Tatsumi, her eyes fixated on his bandaged leg. Once more, guilt washed over her, as she couldn\'t help but feel somehow responsible for what had befallen him.

"I\'m sorry, Tatsumi. You got hurt because of me." Jane immediately apologized upon reaching his spot.

But Tatsumi shook his head vigorously as he wanted to console her. "Don\'t blame yourself, my Lady. It\'s my decision to help you."

"Besides, you are going to be my future wife!" Tatsumi added.

"Ouch!" Tatsumi grunted the moment Hanabi\'s palm made contact with his forehead. Her swift smack was a response to his shameless behavior. "Why did you do that, you crazy sadist woman?" Tatsumi exclaimed while massaging his forehead. "Please, behave in front of our Lady. Don\'t display your fangs!" He ranted on at Hanabi, urging her to maintain decorum.

Jane and Cherry couldn\'t contain their amusement, and they shared a hearty giggle as they observed the funny interaction between the two comrades.

Meanwhile, Hanabi shot Tatsumi a cold sharp glare as she retorted, her annoyance evident, "It\'s you who should be more mindful of your behavior, Tatsumi. Are you not the least bit embarrassed by proclaiming Jane as your future wife?" Her tone was laced with a touch of exasperation, and her gaze remained fixed on him, daring him to defend his audacious statement.

Tatsumi could only stick his tongue out to further annoy Hanabi. He was already used to her behavior. She was always trying to pick a fight with him. In the end, he just shifted his focus back to his goddess, Jane.

Ignoring Hanabi\'s warning, Tatsumi couldn\'t resist indulging in a bit of playful flirting with Jane, his demeanor taking on a charming, almost childlike quality. He leaned in closer, his eyes glistening with expectation as he asked, "So, my Lady, how was your trip abroad? Did you find yourself missing my delightful company?" To add to the charm, Tatsumi even donned a pair of puppy-dog eyes, gazing at Jane with a playful twinkle smile on his lips.

Jane could only smile awkwardly as she didn\'t know how she would respond to Tatsumi\'s flirty yet charming behavior. Cherry also tried her best to hold her laughter because she noticed the sour mood on Hanabi\'s face. She was looking daggers at Tatsumi.

Acting like a jealous possessive lover, Hanabi swiftly intervened by pulling Jane away from Tatsumi\'s proximity. With a brusque motion, she snatched a nearby pillow and hurled it directly at Tatsumi\'s face, her irritation visible in the abruptness of her actions.

"Ouch! I\'ll sue you for physically assaulting a defenseless patient here!" Tatsumi exclaimed, his patience wearing thin. "Doctor! Nurse! Help! There\'s a crazy woman attacking a weak patient here!"

Jane couldn\'t help but chuckle and lightly scratch the back of her head, recognizing the need to intervene before the room turned into a battleground between a feisty cat and an irate dog.

"Enough with the bickering, you two. It\'s high time you made an effort to get along. Tatsumi, refrain from provoking a lady; it\'s not very gentlemanly. And Hanabi, please show some kindness to Tatsumi; after all, he is still a patient," Jane implored, taking on the role of mediator between the feuding friends.

"My lady, you see, Hanabi isn\'t a woman. She\'s more like a wild beast!" Tatsumi reasoned with an exaggerated pout.

Jane and Cherry couldn\'t help but chuckle at Tatsumi\'s remarks. 

"Well, Jane," Hanabi spoke as she continued glaring at Tatsumi. "How can I treat him kindly if every word that comes out of his mouth has the magical ability to push my buttons and piss me off?" 

The duo\'s humorous banter continued, making the hospital room feel a bit more like home. In the end, Jane shifted the conversation by delving into the topic of the King Stallion Mafia. She relayed her initial plan to her friends, updating Tatsumi on the discussion she\'d had with Cherry and Hanabi in the car a while ago.

Jane made a firm decision to collaborate with these three individuals in her quest for revenge against Monica and the Leader of King Stallion. With time running out, she recognized that Hanabi, Cherry, and Tatsumi would be invaluable assets to her plans. Unlike before, Jane no longer felt alone; she had friends by her side, and this comforting thought filled her with a sense of ease and determination.
