Revenge, Alliance, and the Auction
We took a slight detour to avoid the police rushing toward the museum, the Fitzgerald mother and daughter tucked under each of my arms, and made our way to the hotel where we had been watching the museum earlier.
“Kyaaak♥”
“Aaak!”
I tossed the Fitzgerald mother and daughter onto the bed. They both screamed and rolled across the mattress. I approached with a deliberately intimidating air.
For reference, Mimata Chieri had dragged the chair she’d been using by the window for museum surveillance into the corner. She sat there happily crunching away at the popcorn she had bought ahead of time as a snack.
“I don’t particularly want to hurt you. But… I do need my revenge, don’t I?”
“I-if it’s money, I’ll pay anything…!”
Aris was desperately trying to keep her identity hidden from me. She seemed genuinely sorry about stealing the item we had been guarding at the lab last time.
“I have plenty of money. So what should I take instead? Since cash isn’t necessary, maybe I’ll just take your bodies?”
At my teasing words, Nae Fitzgerald pointed straight at Aris and spoke to me.
“Leave her out of it and take me. I’ll pay everything back…♥”
“Mom?”
At Nae Fitzgerald’s sudden outburst, Aris forgot she was supposed to be hiding her identity and stared at her mother in disbelief. I was curious what kind of face she was making behind that VR-glass-like device, but I didn’t need to see it to know it was one of utter dumbfounded shock.
“Haa… haa… If it’s to protect you, I can offer my body too…!”
“Stop panting and talk like a normal person! You’re way too excited!!”
Nae Fitzgerald’s mouth spoke of noble sacrifice, but her heavy breathing and flushed skin were already laying her desires bare. Aris immediately called her out on it.
“Excited? To a mother who’s trying to sacrifice herself!”
“Your nipples are completely visible through that cyberwear, you know??”
Just as Aris said, Nae’s tight cyberwear was being pushed outward by two clearly erect nipples. To get aroused in a situation like this… she really was something else.
“W-what are you even saying?”
“Ry-Ry-Ryuta is…!”
“Ryuta is?”
“Ryuta is mine! Not Mom’s!”
Aris shouted at the top of her lungs, then suddenly yanked off the VR-goggle-style eyewear that had been concealing her identity.
“Ryuta, the truth is I was one of the Phantom Thief Francois. About the lab incident… I’m sorry. I’ll make it up to you, so please don’t do anything with Mom.”
Aris had just blown her own cover in a sudden rush. Seeing both mother and daughter accelerate like that, they really were related. Still, with Aris right in front of me, blue eyes wide open, I couldn’t possibly roll around naked with Nae Fitzgerald—someone I hadn’t officially been with. How traumatized would Aris be if she suddenly saw that?
Of course, there had been that time I slept with Nae thinking she was Aris (I realized midway it was actually her), and the time Nae had tried to sleep-rape me (though I was never actually asleep, so it didn’t technically count). But those were different stories.
“Actually…”
I was about to tell them I had known all along and that this had all been a joke, but Nae Fitzgerald also ripped off her VR-goggle eyewear. Before I could finish, she yelled.
“H-hmph! I’ve done it with Ryuta too, you know!”
Boom.
Not literally, but still—how could you just blurt it out like that, Aunt? I kept a perfectly confused expression on my face and answered as if I knew nothing. Looking guilty right now would be fatal.
“Pardon?”
“The night before last, at dawn, the one I did it with while thinking it was Aris was actually me. Aris came home late that night.”
“R-really? She did come home late that night… but I definitely didn’t do anything with Ryuta…”
“It was dark so Ryuta probably didn’t notice, but that night Aris and I became pillar sisters.”
Of all the things to say—why bring up pillar sisters? The situation was spiraling into complete chaos. As I tried to figure out how to handle it, Mimata Chieri’s voice drifted from behind me. Her face was flushed crimson; she was clearly excited by the whole scene.
“I’m a pillar sister too!”
You really didn’t have to say that! I have no idea what’s going through that woman’s head.
“Senior, stop making things more complicated…!”
“Ryuta, it looks like you’re seeing multiple women anyway. Since we’ve come this far, can’t you include me too?”
Nae Fitzgerald gazed at me with a bewitching, seductive expression. The way the cyberwear clung to every curve of her body was far more arousing than I had expected. The moment Aris saw that look, she screamed “No!” and tackled her mother.
The two of them rolled across the bed in a frantic catfight—breasts pressing, thighs rubbing, bodies tangling. Surprisingly, watching two women wrestle like this was quite the visual treat. So this was what people called a catfight. Still, how the hell was I supposed to resolve this mess? The situation was only growing more tangled by the second.
I shot Mimata Chieri a pleading glance. She deliberately ignored me, crunching popcorn while enjoying the Fitzgerald mother-daughter catfight. She had even picked up the VR eyewear the pair had thrown aside and was watching with obvious delight.
“Ah! I’ve got it!”
When I kept staring at her, Mimata Chieri finally set the popcorn down and stood. She brushed her hands clean, then pointed at the hotel door as if telling me to leave.
“Junior, please step outside for a moment. I’ll set everything up nicely.”
Hmm… could I really trust her? Still, I had asked for help with my eyes, so I supposed I should believe in her at least once. I left the still-wrestling Fitzgerald mother and daughter—and Mimata Chieri—in the room and stepped out of the hotel.
###
“Wait! Stop fighting, both of you!”
Mimata Chieri stepped between them and shouted. Startled by her sudden intervention, the pair froze and sat back down on the bed.
“This fight has zero benefit. Look, even the junior got fed up and left.”
At her words, both women finally realized Taira Ryuta was gone. Their eyes widened as they scanned the room.
“First of all, both of you like the junior, correct? Or does Nae only want his body?”
“Of course I like Ryuta…!”
“I’d be satisfied with just his body… but the more we do it, the more I seem to like him…”
Mimata Chieri nodded at their answers, then stood like a lecturer and began.
“Then you need to abandon this shortsighted focus on the immediate situation. The junior doesn’t actively chase women, yet he’s like an ultra-powerful magnet that draws them in. Looking at the long term, Aris should become the legal wife. Once that happens, Nae can maintain her position as aunt, mother-in-law, or ‘girlfriend’s mom’ and approach him openly without issue.”
“So why are you telling us this?”
Aris asked bluntly. Mimata Chieri winked as if to say it was a good question and continued.
“Right now the two of you need each other. Just like how you worked together as Phantom Thief Francois. If Aris wants to marry the junior but Nae violently opposes it, what happens? If you keep opposing the relationship between the junior and Nae like this, she won’t help you, will she?”
Nae Fitzgerald smiled with a teasing, irritating little smirk and nodded. Aris looked ready to explode at that expression, but Mimata Chieri wasn’t finished.
“From her position as aunt, Nae can’t connect with him directly anyway. If things go well between Aris and the junior, it benefits Nae too, so you need to yield a little. There are already plenty of powerful rivals. If the two of you keep fighting each other, there might not be any spot left beside the junior later.”
At Mimata Chieri’s sharp observation, both women fell silent. The conversation had actually been progressing in Nae’s favor, so she stayed quiet to avoid upsetting Aris. Only Aris was left pondering the words.
She had already learned from the previous group-sex incident that Taira Ryuta was involved with many women. She had believed she was the closest to him, but hearing the phrase “powerful rivals” from Mimata Chieri’s mouth left her feelings in knots.
“Then what does Chieri get by mediating like this?”
If the two of them kept fighting and drove Taira Ryuta away, it would benefit Mimata Chieri’s own position. So why was she helping? Unable to let the question go, Aris asked her directly.
“I’m the junior’s secretary, so I’m satisfied with the current arrangement. But if both of you acknowledge me, I’ll feel much more at ease. I’ll gain you two as allies and help you in return.”
“An alliance… That actually sounds good.”
Nae Fitzgerald smiled at the proposal. Her attitude—that anything was fine as long as she could be with Taira Ryuta—made Aris angry again, but she forced it down. Yes, now was the time to look beyond immediate rage toward the distant future.
“Fine. Let’s form an alliance.”
“For the alliance name… how about the Pillar Sisters Alliance?”
Pillar Sisters Alliance. It was an incredibly lewd name, but Nae Fitzgerald seemed pleased, and Aris reluctantly nodded. The content mattered more than the name, after all.
“The name is a little much, but… let’s go with it. So what do we do now?”
“We should show the junior the taste of oyakodon.”
Oyakodon, of course… In the end, it meant serving up a mother-daughter bowl with the Fitzgerald mother and daughter and Taira Ryuta all at once.
