Chapter Title: A Hearty Mother-Daughter Feast!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Darling..."
Ayame, still connected to me, gazed up at me with an anxious expression.
"I've noticed it too. Kagura's feelings for me. It started when she entered the academy, and it's only gotten stronger."
"..."
"What do you think as her mother, Ayame?"
"I..."
Ayame trailed off, hesitating over her answer.
This was the moment for me to guide her response.
First, I thrust once to clear her mind.
Squelch!
"Haaahn! D-Darling...!"
"I know you're conflicted, Ayame. Kagura likes me. But now that you've become intimate with me, her own mother, you must feel guilt and remorse."
"...Yes."
"Ayame, do you like me?"
"Of course. I... I like you, Darling."
"I'm glad you answered so quickly."
I gently stroked Ayame's cheek and continued.
"Ayame, I have a great solution for you."
"A... solution?"
"Yes. I'll take both you and Kagura into my arms."
"K-Kagura too?!"
Ayame was shocked by my bold declaration of claiming both mother and daughter.
"That's the smoothest way to resolve everything, isn't it?"
"E-Even so..."
"Of course, if we revealed it outright, Kagura wouldn't accept it. The day after I threaten to cut funding... she wouldn't believe her mother seduced me with her body."
"Ugh..."
"That's why I'll use this method instead."
I whispered the plan to conquer Kagura into Ayame's ear.
"What!? That's your plan...?"
"It's a bit rough and underhanded. But Ayame, if I claim Kagura this way too, you'll both be happier."
"Happier?"
"Yes. If Kagura becomes my woman too, you won't have to hold back anymore. No more hiding. No more rushing because Kagura might show up."
I slickly caressed Ayame's lower abdomen.
"Hngh!"
"I could fuck you all day without restraint."
"All day... with Darling, without hiding..."
"Exactly. Imagine it. On a holiday when I visit without worrying about Kagura, we can go wild. And with Kagura joining in, I can make you both happy."
"Happy together with Kagura... Nngh! Ah...!"
"I'll take responsibility for every woman I claim. If Kagura becomes mine too, I'll keep supporting and protecting the Yagitsune Shrine."
"You'd support the shrine too, Darling..."
With pleasure pressing on her womb and visions of a sweet, happy future filling her mind, Ayame was lost in bliss.
A situation where she could receive my love fully, without glancing at her daughter.
Ayame, already deeply enamored with me, couldn't refuse this offer.
"Ayame. You'll cooperate, right?"
Squish!
"Nnghaaa...!"
As I pressed hard on her womb and asked, Ayame climaxed wildly and answered.
"Yes... Darling♡ Make Kagura your woman too. Let our mother and daughter be happy in your arms♡"
"Leave it to me."
A week had passed since enrolling in the academy.
Most cadets had joined clubs, and Isihoon was no exception.
Isihoon joined the volunteer club where class president Kim Yesl was a member.
Partly because I subtly recommended it.
Over the past week, I'd engineered situations for Isihoon to cross paths with the class president often, which played a big role in his decision.
The method was surprisingly simple.
I didn't manipulate anything—just chatted with Isihoon near where Kim Yesl was.
When Kim Yesl got an errand from Instructor Dias, Isihoon naturally helped, given his love for aiding others.
"Rubelt, help out a bit."
"You need me for a simple errand? I'll wait here—go on."
"Got it."
Even if Isihoon asked me, I avoided any chance of Kim Yesl taking a liking to me.
Soon, Isihoon was habitually helping Kim Yesl, even from a distance, whenever she handled class president duties.
When clubs were being chosen, she casually mentioned being in the volunteer club, and Isihoon joined right away.
Operation Matchmaker for Isihoon was going smoothly.
Of course, that wasn't the only progress in the week.
After Chisaki visited the mansion with Master...
"I wanna train here too~! Wanna wanna wanna~!"
After experiencing the mansion's luxury and excellent training facilities, Chisaki got drunk on Heavenly Thunder Wine with Master and threw a tantrum on the floor.
"Ch-Chisaki! Ugh! This is why I didn't want to bring you...!"
Apparently, favoritism wasn't the only reason Master hadn't brought her before.
"What're these awesome training facilities? I wanna train here from now on~!"
"Chisaki! Our home has proper training equipment too!"
"It's all muscle training or sparring with Dad except that! I'm bored of it!"
"B-Bored...? Gah!"
After several exchanges, I permitted Chisaki to use some of the mansion's training facilities whenever she wanted after swordsmanship club.
"I'm truly sorry, Rubelt."
"No, Master. Compared to the favor of learning your techniques, this is nothing."
"Sniff! Such magnanimity...!"
Having Chisaki visit the mansion often would make conquering her easier... and more convenient for fucking later.
Get ready to become my father-in-law, Master.
Besides Chisaki, two others I'd baited showed changes.
Aikawa and Anastasia still bickered when I wasn't around, but in my presence, they flashed stiff smiles to show how well they got along~.
They didn't approach me with coquetry, though.
Naturally, my maid Rize and fiancée Eli were always by my side.
With those two there, approaching to flirt risked offending them and ending their idol careers, so anxiety kept them at bay.
For now, their reactions were perfect.
When their turns came, I'd approach first to ease their tension.
Right now, I was focused on conquering Kagura.
With Ayame's cooperation secured, Operation Kagura Conquest started today.
Most cadets had equipped their Hepai with personal gear and grown accustomed to monster-hunting drills.
The dungeon practicum a week after enrollment was when I'd begin Kagura's full conquest.
Of course, preparations were in place.
I'd asked Ayame to subtly act troubled around Kagura, without being overt.
Kagura was likely fretting over what was bothering her mother.
Thinking her single mom who raised her alone had worries would distract her during her first dungeon practicum.
For the practicum, the academy sent each first-year class to low-grade dungeons.
Our class arrived at a dungeon infested with Tentacle Lizards.
"Form groups of five and enter in order! Goal: Hunt at least five monsters each! Extra points for the boss!"
Like in Blaze Blood, parties of five.
In the game, four were combatants, one a rotatable support.
This was the tutorial timing for dungeon party formation.
My group: me, Eli, Yume, Kagura, Chisaki.
All-rounder, two melee dealers, one ranged dealer, one support.
"Rize, help Isihoon and Yesl build a good vibe."
"Understood."
I assigned Rize to Isihoon's group for atmosphere.
Support-oriented Yesl, dealer Isihoon, Rize, plus tanker Kudan and an archer cadet—balanced team.
"Hurry hurry! Let's go!"
"Wait. It's not our turn yet."
My group entered last.
After a short wait, we entered the dungeon.
The Tentacle Lizard dungeon resembled the forest-type one I'd cleared with Rize at the start of the month.
Trees were sparse, making movement easy.
"Whoa~ This is a dungeon? The scenery totally changes."
"First dungeon for you, Chisaki?"
"Yeah! I begged to go, but Dad said I'm not ready yet. What about you, fiancée priestess? Been in one?"
"I must serve Rubelt! To become an excellent hunter, I've had dungeon experience for a while."
"Ooh! Jealous!"
"Jealous?"
To a battle maniac like Chisaki, prior dungeon access was enviable.
"Sniff sniff... Dungeons even smell different! The monster scent is way stronger than at the academy!"
"Smell?"
"You don't notice?"
"Hehe~ My nose is su~per sensitive. I can distinguish monster and human scents!"
"Wow... Amazing."
Chisaki beamed at Yume's honest admiration.
"Right~? Lost something? I'll sniff it out!"
"That's beyond human—dog level."
"Kagura can too, right?"
"Me?"
"Foxes are canines."
"No, while Yorugitsune-sama enshrined at Yagitsune Shrine is a fox deity, I as shrine priestess don't have fox traits."
"No such blessing? Don't shrine maidens or priests get special powers from gods?"
"Some gain physical changes first, but not us."
"Boo~ Boring~. Thought fox ears would pop out."
"That's still far off."
"Oh, so it happens?"
Clap clap!
I clapped to gather attention.
"Chat's fine, but we're in a dungeon. Equip gear first."
"Yes, Rubelt."
"Got it."
Squish! We pressed the Hepai buttons on our bracelets together.
"Three!"
Outfits changed as weapons and gear equipped.
And then.
"Wh-What is that? Your outfit...!"
Eli's shocked voice rang out.
