So Transparent (3)
Who the hell is that woman!!!
I remembered my friends saying you had to protect your pride when dating a guy, but I swallowed that pride and sent Theo a message anyway. After two full days without a single reply, Erika was completely lost.
She had been certain it was fate. Theo had said something like that too when he gave her his messenger ID. But the moment she saw the woman standing beside him, all her confidence evaporated.
Those voluminous breasts that looked even larger than her sister’s. Unlike Erika, who thought big breasts would only be inconvenient, most women’s clothing somehow looked more stylish and beautiful on women with that kind of chest.
Anyway, seeing a woman who wore that kind of outfit so perfectly standing so close to Theo that their shoulders touched filled her with burning jealousy.
The two women she had run into on her way up to the third floor right after the graduation ceremony had been fairly pretty too, but now she felt overwhelmingly outclassed.
Tsk…
It felt so unfair that tears threatened to spill. She had only come on a whim after that weird employee with the strange hair mentioned this morning that the interior work was finished.
Moisture began to pool in Erika’s eyes.
No! If I cry it’ll be the worst possible outcome!!
She was desperately trying to hold back the blur in her vision when Theo walked straight toward her.
“Erika? Are you feeling all right? You don’t look so good.”
“Hup! Hic!”
“Ah.”
Sensing the sadness swelling inside her and knowing she would burst into tears if left alone even a moment longer, I quickly continued.
“Were you angry because I didn’t contact you for two days? The interior finishing and supply orders kept me so busy I only just caught my breath. Sorry about that.”
I stroked her hair, and I could feel her sorrow melting away beneath my fingers.
“I-I’m not angry, okay! Hic!”
“Yeah, yeah.”
“Tsk.”
She had clearly enjoyed my touch at first, but the way I patted her head like a child made her yell in protest. She really was a total brat.
I jerked my chin toward Veronica and explained.
“This is Domura, the general manager of our esthetic shop. She’ll be handling all store operations from now on. And this is Erika, who lives on the first floor.”
“Hello. My name is Doko Domura.”
“Ah, hello. I’m Erika Hanazawa.”
Veronica’s icy introduction made Erika shrink back as she returned the greeting. Well, that cold aura was Veronica’s default setting. Still, the fact that I hadn’t called her by name affectionately seemed to put Erika somewhat at ease.
I pulled a business card from my jacket’s inner pocket and handed it to her.
“Here.”
“What’s this? Wow.”
Erika stared at the luxurious card with its gold-foil lettering as if she were looking at real gold, completely entranced. But because everything was written in English she looked a little flustered.
I smiled and read the text aloud for her.
“It’s my card. A women-only VIP esthetic specialist shop.”
“Esthe…tic?”
“Yeah. In simple terms, a massage parlor.”
“Ah?”
Erika froze for a second at my words, then looked around the store with an expression that asked whether this was for real. When people hear “massage,” they usually picture shoulder rubs. She nodded half-heartedly until her eyes landed on the text on the back of the card.

This was a course lineup Veronica and I had hammered out together over several days. The rules were simple. In the public areas we would not use magi directly. Instead we would rely one hundred percent on Veronica’s masterful gaslighting—skills she had perfected long before she needed demonic energy to seduce humans.
Basic Relaxing was the throwaway course meant to filter out the riffraff. Veronica would gently steer any women who weren’t particularly attractive or fuckable toward it. The real money was in the full-body activation course that required a minimum of five sessions. Over those five treatments we would gently peel back the All-ages Filter embedded in their bodies and let them taste real pleasure.
How would we manage it without using magi openly? Simple. Before every massage we would have them drink a special beverage blended with my cum that contained a precise amount of magi.
Veronica had once told me that roughly 250,000 magi was enough to keep a magical girl occupied for ten minutes of combat. Anything below 1,000 units would be completely undetectable to them. Even a former magical girl wouldn’t notice a thing. After all, most of those girls only reacted when the Demon King started destroying cities; they had no real ability to sense magi itself.
Still, because Ayame lived nearby I had kept the dosage conservative—about 400 magi per ejaculation. Anything over 500 from the start seemed to cause side effects. The amount was more than enough to trigger the Voice of Brainwashing and just a little short of what was needed for Deep Erosion.
When I had tested the beverage on Lika and Yua for verification, a single sip had made their eyes roll back, their pussies gush, and their bodies convulse in orgasm. It was exactly like when I wrapped my cock in magi and stirred their wombs. Once their bodies had been primed with pleasure, Veronica would casually drop hints that she herself received the director’s “Secret VIP Service” every single day. When those desperate women had paid enough to unlock the secret course, we would lead them past the display shelves into the hidden room beyond. There I would pour magi directly into their bodies and minds while Veronica, using data collected from Lika and Yua, fine-tuned their levels of addiction and dependence on me.
A perfect business model that harvested both money and magi at the same time.
Erika stared at the price list in silence for a long time. Veronica gently added,
“Ah, just so you know, the full-body activation program is mandatory for first-time customers.”
Erika’s shoulders jerked. The realization that a simple shoulder rub would actually cost her 30,000 yen on the very first visit froze her solid. Waves of frustration and despair began to roll off her.
I watched her emotions build to just the right level, then spoke casually.
“Well, I’d say you qualify as an adult, Erika. And you graduated today, so how about trying the trial course right now?”
“…Eh?”
The frustration and despair vanished in an instant. She lifted her head from the price sheet, eyes wide. Her expression twitched comically—she was clearly trying not to look too happy because of her pride. I pretended not to notice and continued.
“Today isn’t the official opening. We’ll be running a soft opening for a while. So I was thinking of giving our very first customer a special service. Would you like to be that customer, Erika?”
“……”
Her lips kept twitching but no answer came out right away. Pride, maybe? I wasn’t sure. Still, I had to keep playing the sweet guy.
I reached out and lightly stroked the soft flesh of both her upper arms.
Slide— Stroke—!
“Eep!!”
“We’re connected by fate, and you came all the way here as our first guest. Are you really going to turn it down? It feels like the perfect graduation present to me.”
“Ugh!”
Between my touch and the mention of a graduation gift, her expression completely crumbled. The corners of her mouth finally curled upward as she burst out,
“Ah, geez! Then of course I want it! Yay! So I’m the number-one customer?”
“That’s right.”
“Wow! Don’t I get a special first-customer bonus or anything?”
“Hmm… let’s decide that after you finish the trial course.”
Who knows? I might just shove my cock inside her today.
