Chapter Title: First Time Should Feel Good!

"Happy New Year, Rubelt! Hahaha!"
"Happy New Year, Rubelt! Ohohoho!"
"Thank you! Father! Mother!"
After giving Rize a heads-up, we first had our New Year's family dinner.
Rubelt Eldra's parents.
In other words, my current life's parents, Ruphus Eldra and Grace Eldra.
Compared to the faces I saw when I was a child, they've aged, but thanks to daily skincare powered by money, both of them look young enough to pass for their twenties.
"No New Year's gift requests, Rubelt? How about I buy you an island?"
"Oh dear, wouldn't a subsidiary company be better than an island?"
"That's a good idea too!"
The two of them have shown unwavering, blind love toward me since childhood.
And the scale of their gifts is no joke.
"I'll take the island!"
Rejecting it on the grounds that it's too extravagant from my past life's commoner perspective would only hurt their feelings.
"Hahaha! Then I'll have to gift you a small uninhabited island this time!"
"Since it's our Rubelt's island, we should start construction on amenities right away~ Roje~."
"Yes, ma'am. I'll make the call immediately."
"Thank you~."
That short conversation on New Year's morning created work for a ton of construction companies.
The island could be a nice spot to visit once I've conquered the heroines to a certain degree.
After wrapping up our warm family chat, Rize and I headed to Yagitsune Shrine for our New Year's visit.
Three years after I started supporting it, the shrine was drawing far more visitors than when I first came.
Still, it wasn't packed like a mega-hit spot—just popular enough for the neighborhood.
Of course, if I threw my full support behind it, it could become a total sensation, but I deliberately held back.
I tossed money into the offering box, rang the bell, clapped twice, and prayed.
[Yorugitsune's New Year Commemorative Blessing has been bestowed. Magic Power increases by 15% for 24 hours.]
The shrine's blessing message had returned to its original game values.
Even the special holiday bonus was the same.
For reference, outside of the Yagitsune Kagura route in the story, there's no chance to use this time-limited buff.
"Ah! Lord Rubelt!"
"Welcome to Yagitsune Shrine, Rubelt, Rize."
As we finished our prayers, the Yagitsune mother and daughter approached us.
I often saw them in miko outfits during shrine visits, but seeing it on New Year's Day felt extra special.
But I knew Yagitsune Kagura looked even more stunning—absolutely mouthwatering—in an even bolder miko outfit.
Not the standard one she was wearing now, but something far more daring and tantalizing.
Aaah~ Imagining ravishing Kagura while she's dressed like that brings a smile to my face.
"Hello, Ayame. And Kagura."
"Hello, sir."
Over the past three years, we've gotten to know each other enough that...
Well, Kagura and I have dropped the formalities.
She'd initially wanted to use polite speech out of gratitude.
But I'm used to her casual tone from the game, and it'll turn me on later, so I told her to speak freely.
It suits her sharp-tongued student council side better anyway.
"Here for New Year's prayers?"
"Yeah. Figured I'd check how much better the shrine I support has gotten."
"Thanks to you, Rubelt, we're doing fine. Even the old visitors have started coming back."
"Glad to hear it."
"We can never thank you enough, Lord Rubelt."
The Yagitsune duo smiled brightly.
The shrine looked like it was running smoothly, but reality was more precarious.
My sponsorship kept Yagitsune Shrine in perfect balance.
Plus, lately Ayame's been sprucing it up more, so she's taken loans for extra construction since the donations weren't enough.
Like erecting a statue for Lady Yorugitsune?
In the game, that did boost the prayer buffs.
Of course, Ayame's plans were only possible because of my monthly support.
If I cut it off and told her to show her gratitude with her body... I'd get to do whatever I wanted with Ayame's chest and figure—bigger than even Kagura's massive bust, a true bombshell.
Ah, now that sex is unlocked, my pre-planned fantasies won't stop.
Snap out of it.
Today's focus is Rize.
The world's best, my personal maid.
"I'm relieved the shrine's doing well. Oh, right—Kagura, you're entering the academy this year too?"
"Yeah, our family tends to awaken magic easily, generation after generation. I'll enroll in March. You and Rize too, right?"
"Yep. We might end up in the same class. Looking forward to it, Kagura."
I extended my hand for a shake.
"Same here. Looking forward to it."
Kagura shook it with a confident smile.
"If you ever need help at the academy, just say the word. Even if we're in different classes, I'll come running. Though... with Rize by your side and your Eldra status, you probably won't."
"That alone makes me feel secure. Oh, if I owe you one, I'll treat you to that meat you love. You wanted to eat till you cried, right?"
Kagura's face flushed red.
"Ugh...! Still teasing me about that?!"
Whenever we meet, I poke fun at her meat craving to tease her a bit.
Seeing her flustered and embarrassed in real life—not just her route—is fun.
For reference, due to her impoverished life, Kagura's favorite food changed from inarizushi to meat, unlike the original.
Hardship in poverty can reshape even one's tastes.
"Should I skip the meat then?"
"...Samgyeopsal, please. With some aged kimchi."
"Hahaha! You got it!"
Grilled samgyeopsal followed by aged kimchi on the grill—pure bliss.
After the shrine visit and finishing our ongoing Hunter tutoring...
I headed alone to Dr. Hubunkun's underground lab.
Weeeeng... Ding!
"Hubunkuuuun!"
"You've arrived, Young Master."
Five years since I hired Dr. Hubunkun.
Somewhere along the way, his title changed.
I'd slipped and called Furuta "Hubunkun" mid-conversation without thinking.
-Hubunkun? Is that like a nickname for me?
-Uh, well, Dr. Furuta...
-It rolls off the tongue perfectly! If it's okay with you, Young Master, call me Hubunkun from now on—casually too!
-...Really?
Through chats like that, Hubunkun became his name inside and out, and we dropped formalities.
"Hubunkun! I've finally become an adult!"
"Yes, congratulations. So... tonight, then?"
Hubunkun gets me after all this time.
"Yeah! Tonight! I'm doing it with Rize!"
"Holding out until you were truly of age... Impressive."
It wasn't holding out.
I couldn't.
"Hubunkun! Everything I prepared for this day is ready, right?!"
"Of course."
Hubunkun grinned his signature sleazy smile and brought what I wanted.
"A male contraceptive pill for safe, pleasurable creampie sex, and an aphrodisiac incense with pain relief for her comfort."
"Perfect!"
Inventions inspired by my ero ideas, prepped for today.
A month-long male contraceptive and a mild aphrodisiac incense that excites without overwhelming and eliminates pain.
I had Hubunkun develop them, set up a company, and now they're sold at Furuta Adult Goods under Eldra.
"But Young Master, just these two? For fun, don't we have better? Like dual-hole vibrators, ropes that heighten pleasure the tighter they bind, or tentacle controllers..."
I put my hands on my hips and yelled at the excited, smirking Hubunkun.
"Hubunkun!"
"Ah. Yes, Young Master."
"Tonight's my precious first night with Rize! We start soft with her!"
Can't go too kinky on night one!
"Ah, right. My mistake. I've been rough with Bitch Canyon lately."
"Huh? Come to think of it, where's Rachel?"
"Bound with vibes stuffed in, left alone. Want to see? She's probably squirting nonstop by now."
"Nah, I'm good. Just stopping by for this. Happy New Year, Hubunkun!"
"Happy New Year, Young Master!"
I grabbed the items and headed straight back to the mansion.
Time passed, dinner ended.
I lit the aphrodisiac incense in my room and waited for Rize.
She'd said she'd drop by after dinner, so I was alone.
"Gulp!"
Ah, so tense.
The day I'd waited twenty years for.
With Rize—adorable every single day by my side.
Despite her training for composure, my heart raced.
Knock knock. Then Rize's voice.
"Young Master, coming in."
"Yeah! C-come in!"
She entered right away.
Beautiful silver hair, still wearing the hairpin I bought her at ten.
No usual headband; a brown cloak draped her body.
"Rize?"
"Young Master. I've always strived to be the perfect maid. But this... is my first time too, so... if I mess up, forgive me. I researched and picked nightwear that fits."
Her words tumbled out fast—she was nervous too.
Finished, she let go of the cloak.
It slipped down smoothly.
And then.
"Ah..."
Blushing faintly, not her usual maid outfit.
Sheer white lingerie that showed almost everything.
Baby doll, they call it.
"H-how... is it, Young Master?"
Her anxious voice reached my ears.
