Chapter Title: Fall (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To freshen up before dinner, we lightly washed our bodies.
No matter what, we couldn't show up to the meal reeking of the thick scent of night-blooming flowers.
Of course, we could've gone anyway if we'd really wanted to, but it was still too early to lay it on that thick.
We hadn't fully conquered Nozomi or gotten her pregnant yet, after all.
So we saved that thrill for later and headed into the bathroom together to clean off.
Of course, in the process...
"Hnnng, s-stop...!"
"But you're not really putting up a fight, are you? Hehe."
There was some minor sexual teasing, but it didn't last long.
Once we were nice and fluffy dry, the old butler who'd been waiting outside the building guided us to the dining area.
The spot we arrived at was surprisingly not a traditional floor-seating setup, but a table and chairs—the kind you'd see in any ordinary restaurant, quite familiar even to me.
'Even rich folks live pretty much the same, huh?'
Takuya thought to himself, but he quickly realized that was a misconception.
"You'll need to remove your shoes here and change into slippers."
The old butler stopped him as he started heading barefoot toward the table and handed him a pair of slippers.
Slipping them on, Takuya mused inwardly.
'No wonder the floor tiles looked different; we have to wear slippers.'
That thought was fleeting, though. Takuya thanked the butler and walked over to the table.
As he approached, he saw three people in total.
One was the very familiar, grinning face of old man Yuzuke, split wide in a sleazy smile.
Whatever, he was used to that one by now. Next up was a timid-looking guy staring at him with an uneasy expression.
He had a decent build, probably thanks to the bit of pudge on him.
But the man wasn't his type to begin with, and more importantly, someone crucial was right nearby.
A woman with just the right amount of pleasing plumpness, a loose and carefree face, and a wildly avant-garde blonde wavy bob—hard to picture as someone from such a conservative family.
"Ah, sis~!"
'Hmm. So that's Tohomu Aiko.'
The woman sitting there was Tohomu Nozomi—the next one he'd have to impregnate after knocking up the one beside him.
His impression upon seeing the second target in person:
'A little different from the photo.'
She gave off a slightly different vibe from the picture.
The Aiko in the photo had looked timid, maybe low self-esteem.
But now... what was the word?
"Oh my, sis~? Already done~?"
She came off like someone with a bit too much confidence.
Not in a bad way—it was way better than the meek vibe.
'Her personality seems totally different.'
She was quite the contrast to what he'd heard.
He'd have to grill the old man about the shoddy intel.
As Takuya pondered Aiko's impression for a moment, he casually shifted his gaze.
'Then that guy must be...'
The one Takuya now eyed was the well-built man next to Aiko.
Tohomu family's second son—and Aiko's husband—Tohomu Ishinagi.
Not that the name mattered much. He planned to just call him "second son."
Not to his face, of course. He'd keep up polite appearances for now.
"Hello. I'm Mori Takuya, tasked with this overly generous role."
"Ahaha. I'm Tohomu Ishinagi..."
"Hoho~ I'm Tohomu Aiko, the wife of the guy next to me~"
After those simple greetings, Takuya took a rough seat for now.
Nozomi quietly sat down beside him at that, and with everyone who needed to be there assembled, the old man spoke up.
"Now, let's eat."
At old man Yuzuke's words, not only did quiet Aiko and the second son, but even Nozomi pick up their chopsticks.
The old man's grip on the family was impressively ironclad, but it wasn't particularly relevant to Takuya.
Oh, and for reference, Nozomi's husband wasn't there because even if he'd half-given up on his wife, making him watch her fuck her new partner up close might trigger some unpredictable jealousy-fueled outburst. So they'd shipped him off on a business trip.
That explained the absent eldest son, and as for the eldest daughter...
'Well, the old man said he'd invited her, but she's a willful one, so she might not show.'
She apparently hadn't come.
'Definitely free-spirited.'
Even to Takuya's eyes—where the old man looked like nothing but a perverted sage—the guy's family control was substantial. Ignoring his summons meant she was no ordinary gutsy type.
Takuya nodded to himself and dug into the meal.
The menu was a standard Japanese set meal.
Fish, rice, miso soup, that sort of thing.
Delicious stuff he ate every morning himself.
The Tohomu family's chef was skilled enough that it was even tastier than what Ayaka mom made—
[Fufu, feels like I'm hearing Takuya's voice~?]
—A chill ran down his spine!
'—not quite as good, but about on par with before...'
Takuya poked listlessly at his rice amid the inexplicable shiver.
Even so, he didn't forget to keep observing Aiko, his next target.
And as he ate and watched her, Takuya realized something truly unexpected.
"Pass the soy sauce there, Aiko."
"Ah, of course~"
-Tremble.
Every time Yuzuke spoke to her, Aiko's hands shook.
Not in an obvious way, of course.
'Her fingertips are trembling?'
Her voice tone and outward behavior seemed utterly calm, almost nonchalant.
But oddly, her fingertips quivered ever so faintly whenever old man Yuzuke spoke.
So subtly that only someone with sharp eyes like Takuya would notice.
One might call it imagination, but having seen countless tremors on the battlefield, he knew exactly what kind it was.
'Hmm, trembling from fear and terror.'
The kind of unconscious reaction humans have when facing something frightening.
Intrigued by Aiko's behavior, Takuya tested it out on a hunch.
"Aiko-san, could I get some salt too...?"
"Ah, of course~"
He closely watched the fingertips of her outstretched hand and confirmed.
'Trembling again.'
Even on his request, her hand shook.
After that, he observed her even more intently and verified that Aiko only trembled at the old man's words—not her husband's or Nozomi's.
At that consistent pattern, he smiled faintly.
He was starting to get what the old man meant by her being timid and weak-willed.
Takuya glanced at the old man.
Yuzuke was still wearing that sleazy grin, and that smile was answer enough.
With that decent intel acquired, Takuya shoveled the rest of his food down quickly.
Having finished their meal quickly, Takuya and Nozomi stood up first.
He'd gotten the info the old man had dangled as bait, after all.
They could leave right then.
Instead, he tossed a line at Aiko—no, the little liar.
"Then I look forward to our next meeting."
"I'll eagerly await it."
"Understood."
Saying that, he gave a polite bow and exited.
—Flinch!
Not forgetting to shoot her a lewd glance on the way out, of course.
The spot Takuya and Nozomi headed to after leaving was the set room from before.
It was the most convenient place for sex, after all.
Back in the set room, as he pondered what kind of play to go for...
"Nozomi, where do you want to fu—mmph!"
"Slurrrp♥ Smooch♥ Slurrrp♥"
He was suddenly robbed of his lips by Nozomi from behind and subjected to her fierce kiss assault.
Not that he minded.
He had a pretty good idea why she was kissing him so urgently.
After an intense kiss swapping tongues and saliva, he pushed Nozomi's lips away and smirked.
"Why so desperate to devour me?"
At his words, Nozomi undid the sash of her yukata, spread her thighs, and showed him her lewd, dripping-wet pussy while saying:
"My body's so hot...♥"
"Hmm~"
Takuya smiled leisurely even as he thought:
'No aphrodisiac or anything; what's going on?'
He hadn't given her anything but the virility booster, so he was puzzled, but he decided to shelve the question for now.
A good thing was a good thing, right?
Besides, it wasn't entirely out of left field.
'They say the late-blooming thief is the scariest.'
Rough guess: all the pent-up lust exploding at once. That was the conclusion.
Even if it wasn't that, it didn't matter. Just...
-Squelch♥
Takuya slid his fingers into Nozomi's pussy and said:
"Hnnng♥"
"So, what do you want me to do?"
If Nozomi was going to beg for his cock...
"Please wreck my pussy with yours, Takuya-sama♥"
...it was just too damn perfect.
