Private Beach? Private Bitch!
I stopped by the Human Resources Development Center house again to pick up the Juangwa. Thanks to giving Yukiko a heads-up in advance, the spirit fruit had stayed perfectly preserved in the refrigerator. I grabbed it, hopped in the car, and headed toward Edogawa Ward in Tokyo.
My mother—Lady Jin Mi-ja—had received the inheritance from Taira Saburo, moved into a new place, and quit her old job due to the commute. While she was wondering what to do next, I founded Hatake Investment Company and gave her the CEO title so she could run it. Having graduated from a fairly prestigious university, she was handling the work smoothly enough.
If Hatake Investment grew any larger, we’d need to hire more staff. But for now, her only real responsibility was managing our investment in Seryu Military Company, so Lady Jin Mi-ja was more than enough on her own.
I’d bought a commercial building near the mansion she’d moved into and set up the Hatake Investment Company office on the top floor.
Since it was still office hours, I headed straight there. I parked in the building’s lot and took the elevator all the way to the top floor.
“Good afternoon, sir.”
Yarita Koichi, the bodyguard and office security guard I’d hired for my mother, greeted me the moment I stepped inside.
“Where’s my mother?”
“She’s in the CEO’s office.”
After learning her location, I knocked twice on the CEO’s door and stepped inside. Lady Jin Mi-ja had been staring at her computer monitor, but she stood up the moment she heard the door open.
“Son, how was your trip?”
“It went well. Here, I brought you a souvenir.”
I kept the greeting short and held out the plastic bag containing the Juangwa.
“What is this? I’ve never seen this fruit before…”
“Just eat it first.”
“Aren’t you going to have any?”
“Come on, who takes back a souvenir they bought for someone else? Eat it all right now while I’m watching, Mom.”
I practically forced the Juangwa to her lips. Only then did Lady Jin Mi-ja take a crisp bite. Her eyes widened slightly—clearly it tasted good.
“Oh my, it’s delicious! What did you say this fruit was called again?”
“It’s called Juangwa. It’s an incredibly expensive fruit.”
“No matter how expensive fruit is, it’s still just fruit. How much could it possibly cost?”
She laughed as if she thought I was joking when I said it was extremely expensive. I looked at her and grinned.
“Seventy million yen.”
“W-what?”
“Don’t spit it out, Mom! The effect will disappear!”
I quickly covered her mouth as she tried to spit it out in shock. Only after I felt her swallow the Juangwa with a gulp did I remove my hand.
“It’s not expensive because of the taste. It’s a fruit that high-society women are desperate to get their hands on because of its medicinal properties.”
“Medicinal properties?”
“Yeah. It’s a kind of elixir that stops aging.”
The moment I finished speaking, Lady Jin Mi-ja crunched down on the rest of the Juangwa with fierce determination. As expected, women’s obsession with youth really is no joke.
“So you only came to give me a souvenir?”
“I had some business to take care of with you, so I killed two birds with one stone. I need to create a subsidiary company.”
I explained to her that we needed to establish Hatake Mining Company as a subsidiary. Since the mine would soon be in our hands, we’d need a proper mining company to handle operations. She nodded in understanding.
“Setting up a mining company itself isn’t difficult, but we’ll need to hire specialists. I don’t know anything about mining.”
“I’ll take care of hiring the right people. Just handle the subsidiary registration for me.”
“Sure, that’s easy enough.”
I chatted with Lady Jin Mi-ja a little longer before standing up. It was already well past lunchtime when I’d arrived at the office, so I was starving. I left the car at a nearby car wash and went into a hamburger franchise, ordering three large sets.
Since I was already in Tokyo, I thought I might as well see Aris and sent her a Line message.
After ending the chat, the hamburger sets arrived and I carried them to my table. Before eating, I picked up my phone and searched for something. I wanted to clear up a small suspicion I’d had for a while.
I typed “Phantom Thief Francois” into the search bar and sorted by latest. I’d seen a blonde phantom thief at the lab in Akita Prefecture and wondered if it might have been Aris, so I decided to look it up.
Let’s see… the most recent news is…
It was an article posted just this morning. Hmm, so it wasn’t Aris? I scrolled down and examined Phantom Thief Francois’s activities. A few overlapped with Aris’s schedule, but more than half did not.
It seemed my suspicion that Aris might be Phantom Thief Francois had been a misunderstanding. While there were some overlapping dates, there were also many that didn’t match, and there were even times when the thief had struck while Aris and I were together. It definitely wasn’t her.
With my doubts cleared, I unwrapped the hamburger with a lighter heart and took a huge bite. Even if Aris really had been Phantom Thief Francois, I wouldn’t have said anything. I just would’ve asked for a few good items if she had any.
Now that the possibility was gone, I felt a little disappointed, but also relieved that I didn’t have to suspect her anymore. It was a bittersweet feeling.
After finishing the hamburgers I hadn’t eaten in a long time, I picked up my now spotless car from the car wash, handled a few more errands, and returned to the Human Resources Development Center.
I had nothing else to do and didn’t feel like staying home, so I headed to the office of Education Support Team 2, where I still technically belonged. Of course, I couldn’t show up empty-handed, so I bought coffee from a nearby Starbucks instead of the company café and brought it with me.
“Hello.”
I greeted everyone as I entered and handed out the coffees. Shinohara Misano was in the office, but Suzuki Chisami must have been out on business because she was nowhere to be seen. Work wasn’t too heavy yet, but in a month they’d be swamped preparing for the new public recruitment training.
“Can we talk privately for a moment?”
Shinohara Misano, whose eyes were slightly bloodshot from lack of release, led me to the empty office we usually used for our secret meetings. We immediately tangled our bodies together in a heated rush.
Still, since Shinohara Misano’s pussy was the one I’d used the most after my possession, there was something strangely comforting about it. After filling her several times with thick loads, we talked for a bit.
“How is Mimata Chieri doing these days?”
“She’s doing well. She’s quite busy with a lot of work.”
“Becoming president means it’s better to be busy than bored, I suppose.”
Since Mimata Chieri had quit at the same time she became president of East Weapon, Shinohara Misano was asking about her. She probably figured that since I was part of the Taira family’s royal bloodline, I would know why she suddenly quit to become the president of some company.
“Team Leader, do you happen to know any trustworthy mining specialists among the people who have already retired?”
“Are you planning to hire one?”
“I’m thinking of buying a small mine.”
Having worked as a team leader at the Human Resources Development Center for a long time, Shinohara Misano had an incredible network. That’s why I asked her about mining experts. I could have asked Yukiko, but she was already busy enough. I didn’t want to burden her further.
“I’ll narrow it down to a few people and send you a list.”
“Thank you. I’ll definitely repay you.”
“You can repay me right here.”
Shinohara Misano smiled as she spread her pussy wide open. My cum, which I’d pumped into her earlier, oozed out and dripped onto the floor. I slid my once-again rock-hard cock back inside her. This kind of repayment was always welcome.

After thrusting into Shinohara Misano a few more times, I worked out for the first time in a while at the Human Resources Development Center gym, then went home and enjoyed a luxurious meal prepared by the housekeeper. Mm, it still tasted amazing even after so long. If Alexandra wants to learn how to cook, I should have her study under the housekeeper. If you’re going to learn, you might as well learn from the best.
Since I’d already showered after working out, I just brushed my teeth and collapsed into bed. The fatigue from the trip must not have fully worn off yet, because I fell asleep without realizing it. When I woke up needing to pee, it was already dawn.
I checked my phone. It was three in the morning. Oh, Aris had sent me a Line message.
She’d sent several photos of herself in a kimono along with a message saying the photoshoot had run late. Hmm, she really does look beautiful. I went to the bathroom, then lay back down in bed. Since I’d slept plenty in the early evening, I couldn’t fall back asleep.
If I can’t sleep, I might as well watch some MeTube. The moment I opened the app, an algorithm-recommended video popped up—probably because I’d searched for Phantom Thief Francois on Google earlier. It had been uploaded less than thirty minutes ago.
