Zero relentlessly focused on the scratches clustered around Kagura’s nipples, almost as if scraping them away.
"Ah… mm…"
A sweet shiver quickly coiled deep in Kagura’s core, and a soft moan escaped his lips.
―――It’s completely different.
This overwhelming, unbearable sensation was something only Zero could give him. It was because it was Zero that Kagura felt his body react this way.
With every lick, the sensation seeped into both his body and soul.
At some point, Kagura found himself offering the spots he wanted Zero to lick, guiding them to the tip of his tongue.
The memories of Kiriyama were licked away. All the way from his arms and his sides that were tasted as well.
When Kagura’s twisting hips were pinned down, Zero asked in a rough voice: "Was this place licked too?"
Kagura looked down at his already leaking dick, standing upright.
"...No, not there."
"Are you sure?"
"There aren’t any scratches, are there?"
As Zero’s gaze roamed over him, Kagura’s dick released another copious bead of precum.
"True, there aren’t."
Zero’s face lifted, and for the first time, Kagura saw pure joy and relief openly reflected there.
Even though Kagura wanted Zero to lick him there, Zero avoided his erection entirely. He instead lavished his saliva on Kagura’s navel before moving down to his legs. Zero’s tongue ran along his toes, causing Kagura’s dick to twitch from the ticklish yet frustrating sensations.
When Kagura couldn’t stand it anymore and reached down for his lower abdomen, his wrist was caught and stopped.
"Feel only my tongue."
Maybe this was a form of punishment.
As his body swam in hazy arousal, Zero grabbed his shoulder. When Zero tried to push him face down, Kagura reflexively slapped his hand away.
"That’s enough, isn’t it?"
Avoiding Zero’s gaze, Kagura turned his face away. But Zero grabbed his jaw firmly and forced him to look up.
"Do you have a reason you can’t show me?"
Unable to speak, Kagura bit his lip. Zero overpowered him, pressing his body facedown on the bed. Even as Kagura tried to crawl away, avoiding Zero’s gaze, his hips were seized, forcing him to his knees.
Kagura knew the surface of his buttocks was likely crisscrossed with raised welts.
A large tongue traced over his tense backside, and strong fingers pried apart the flesh of his entrance.
Zero’s breathing became rough and uneven. "What happened here?"
The particularly tender area around his entrance stung painfully.
When Kagura didn’t respond, Zero asked, "Was it licked by him?"
Kagura silently nodded. In a rough, gravelly voice, Zero pressed further. "Was it penetrated?"
Kagura pressed his forehead into the sheets.
"Jinya, answer me."
"...Just his tongue."
Under the morning sunlight, Kiriyama had filled him with his tongue, driving him to the brink of climax.
It was something Zero had done before too—nothing worth making a fuss over. Kagura told himself this, but just recalling it made his body tremble with humiliation.
Zero’s tongue lashed against his entrance with an intensity born of anger. Perhaps because Kagura couldn’t see Zero’s face, the sensations from Kiriyama’s actions came back to him vividly, making his body flinch instinctively in retreat.
"Let me erase him completely." The growling demand reached Kagura.
To do so, Kagura knew he needed to keep Zero in his line of sight.
With a sharp expression, Kagura turned over, lying on his back. Then, he hooked his hands under the backs of his knees and curled his body inward.
"Give me your tongue."
Feeling the heat rising in his temples, Kagura pleaded.
Zero parted his lips slightly, narrowing his eyes.
"I’ll give you as much as you want."
With that, Zero plunged his face between Kagura’s legs, burying himself with fervour. With that same intensity, his tongue slid deeply inside.
"Ah... Ah―――"
Kagura stared intently at Zero, unable to even blink.
His eyes, dark as condensed shadows, brimmed with power. His thick, feverish tongue explored Kagura’s asshole.
―――This is Zero.
The detestable memories of sight and touch were overwritten, stained with Zero's presence.
Kagura’s entire body trembled violently. His swollen dick leaked precum like a broken faucet, drenching his heaving stomach.
As Zero’s extended tongue kneaded the tension through Kagura’s sensitive membranes, his dick quivered, and the fluid shifted from transparent to white.
"Ugh... ah..."
His trembling membranes convulsed and contracted, pushing Zero’s tongue out.
Kagura, exposing his shamelessly writhing entrance to Zero, felt a deep ache in the pit of his stomach.
"You just keep riling me up." Murmuring in a reproachful tone, Zero leaned his weight onto Kagura.
The struggling, writhing inner walls were relentlessly stretched by Zero’s rough, hard dick.
After forcing half of it inside, Zero’s breathing faltered. His face twisted slightly in pain. His cracked rib must have been acting up.
As Kagura writhed, he pushed himself up while still connected, pressing his hand against Zero’s broad shoulder.
Zero let himself fall onto his back, looking up at Kagura. His expression was a swirl of lust, jealousy, and pain.
Seeing the strong man unravel both physically and mentally because of him stirred something in Kagura.
Locking gazes, Kagura reached for Zero’s still partially unentered shaft, feeling the throbbing veins under his fingertips.
He lowered his hips slowly, taking in the pulsing dick inch by inch.
"Ah..."
When he finally took it to the base, a powerful, mind-numbing jolt spread from his core, washing over his entire body. The sparks ignited during his encounter with Kiriyama were thoroughly drowned out by this overwhelming sensation.
Wanting to erase it all completely, Kagura planted his hands beside Zero’s shoulders, lifting his knees. He moved his hips in circular motions, which gradually spiralled into an up-and-down rhythm. But with his body still buzzing with a lingering numbness, his movements were sluggish.
Zero gripped Kagura’s nape.
"Reminds me of that time at the open-air bath."
The frustrating resistance of the water back then—it did feel similar.
And just like that time, Zero began thrusting forcefully. His pained expression, marred by the ache in his rib, was intensely arousing.
Kagura adjusted to Zero’s movements, ensuring their connection rubbed even more fiercely with each thrust.
The heat building inside him felt as if it would ignite, threatening to scatter his consciousness. His trembling dick was leaking fluids so intensely that he couldn’t even tell what it was anymore.
"Jinya, ah... ugh..."
Zero groaned as if his suffering had reached its peak, raising his hips sharply.
Kagura felt the dick buried deep inside him twitch violently with release, and he let out a shivering sigh through his parted lips.
His body went limp as if his spine had been removed. Even so, he tried not to put his weight on Zero, mindful of his ribs. But strong arms wrapped around him from below, pulling him close.
Zero’s breath, warm and content, tickled his ear as he whispered: "Jinya, let’s go on another trip."
The simple invitation made Kagura’s chest tighten.
Had they reached a relationship where they could share such pointless, indulgent moments together?
And then, Kagura realised.
―――Perhaps, even now...
On the way back from Niigata, heading toward his apartment, he had found it strange that he didn’t feel the usual melancholy that followed a trip.
―――Could it be because they still felt as if they were still on their journey?
After losing his cousin, Kagura had pressed forward alone, relentlessly navigating a treacherous path. And now, Zero had joined him on it.
What began as acts to renew their contract of ‘keeping’ one another had gradually transformed into acts of mutual desire. Kagura found himself accepting that truth and even feeling joy in it.
Zero had changed him, allowing him to permit himself such indulgent and luxurious moments.
Zero, too, had allowed himself to be unsettled by Kagura for his sake.
Now, Kagura felt it was okay to say it out loud.
Lifting his face, he gazed into Zero’s eyes—deep as a night soaked in smoke-like rain.
"I want to protect you and Enwu."
Before any doubt could surface in those eyes, he continued.
"Just as you protect me as a police officer, I will protect you as the one who supports Enwu."
"...So that’s not a proposal, but a report on something already decided?"
"It is."
Zero sighed and ruffled Kagura’s hair.
"Then I guess I don’t have a choice."
Zero was holding the handle of an incredibly large, heavy umbrella.
Finally, Kagura could touch it, even if just a little.
"Yeah, no choice."
Kagura reached up to stroke Zero’s black hair in return, and Zero gave a small, half-open smile. It was different from his usual smile. This was soft and boyish.
A bittersweet ache coursed through Kagura’s chest as he gently brushed his lips against Zero’s.
He thought he finally understood what kind of kiss this was.

*Author’s Postscript:
Hello, this is Fuyuko Sano.
This work is the sequel to ‘The Beasts Intertwine This Way’.
I was thrilled to reunite with Kagura, Zero, Chameleon Kiriyama, and Otter-kun. Writing Renjou, the new addition and hidden protagonist of this instalment, was incredibly enjoyable.
The story shifts to the ‘Invincible Castle’, delving deeper into the shadows and Kagura’s trauma.
Both Kagura and Zero are struggling without much room to breathe, yet they find moments of “luxury” amid it all.
Toono also makes an appearance. He’s inherently broken, not because of his upbringing, but by nature—a true miscreant.
I’m glad I could shine a spotlight on each of the Enwu members. Writing the casino scenes was a lot of fun, and I hope that came across correctly.
Oh, the hidden theme this time was “licking play”. Kiriyama doesn’t enjoy outright violations; he prefers psychological and physical torment that lingers. Zero’s jealousy-fueled cleansing licks complete the set.
The short story ‘Mounting’, included in this book, takes place before this instalment in the timeline. I hope readers can look back on how their relationship has evolved.
To Oyamada Ami-sensei, who provided the illustrations: thank you so much once again! Your breathtakingly cool, passionate depictions brimming with masculine allure were nothing short of overwhelming. Every character’s design in the sketches was so captivating it brought tears to my eyes. (Renjou is the best! Though I have to admit, Toono’s design got to me too...)
To my editor: Thank you for always supporting my unique approach to storytelling.
I am deeply grateful to the publisher and everyone involved in bringing this work to life.
And to all the readers who picked up this book: Thanks to you, I could once again share the world of ‘The Beasts Intertwine This Way’. Truly, thank you.
I sincerely hope you found something, anything, enjoyable within these pages.
Thanks to the feedback I’ve received, a further sequel is planned for next spring in the ‘Dear+ Spring’ issue! I’ll do my best to bring you another story full of dashing characters.
