Sunday, the weekend.
Although she didn't have to go to school today, Yuna Tsubakihara woke up early. However, the color in her face was poor, and she couldn't hide her exhaustion, likely due to a restless night.
She tossed and turned, only falling into a hazy sleep past midnight, and she hadn't slept for long, nor was the quality good... The last time she felt this mentally drained was when she first met Alex.
Thinking carefully, it was that encounter with him that changed her—or rather, the Tsubakihara family's fate. Otherwise... she might still be with Yuji Tsubakihara?
"No, if I hadn't met Alex, Nina and I might have already been... compromised by that transfer student..."
Yuna Tsubakihara muttered, the sullen expression returning to her face. Her poor sleep indicated how shocked she was to see her sister kissing Alex yesterday.
But fine, they kissed... Why didn't that jerk come and comfort me after he saw my reaction? He practically treated me like I was invisible all afternoon and evening. What does that even mean?!
"Last night, too, he was with Mom the entire time... Damn it!"
The thought of him being intimately involved with her mother in the bedroom made Yuna Tsubakihara feel a bitter pang of jealousy and anger.
"Yuna? You're up so early?"
Seeing her daughter in the living room/kitchen, her mother, Mira Tsubakihara, who was wearing an apron, was surprised by her early rising. "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"You're up just as early, Mom," Yuna scrutinized her mother. As always, her figure was sexy, her demeanor seductive, and her complexion and skin had visibly improved.
Her charm had increased severalfold, appearing far more supple than a young girl, with a look of satisfied ruddiness. It was clear she had been well-fed last night.
Although Yuna Tsubakihara was still a virgin, she wasn't foolish. Seeing her stunningly beautiful mother, she instantly understood the reason, and her tone couldn't help but sour. "You must have had a very comfortable night, right? Being nourished by Alex... you look so good."
"Yuna... What are you saying?" Mrs. Mira nearly knocked over the milk she was holding, hastily placing it on the table. "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm just telling the truth. Did you and Alex not make love last night?"
"..."
Where did this child learn such brazen language?
"By the way, where is Alex?"
"He already left."
He just left? Without even saying goodbye to me? Yuna Tsubakihara felt even more wronged. She opened her mouth but couldn't speak. Seeing her daughter's sudden dejected and listless expression, Mira seemed to understand something.
"Sigh, it looks like Yuna is sinking deeper and deeper..."
Alex is indeed a man heavy with sin.
Recalling how satisfied she felt last night and even after waking up this morning, Mira's face flushed. Although Yuna's words were crude, they were true; Mira had been fully sated all night.
She could still feel the residual heat of his essence inside her, and a slight lingering soreness down below... It was a testament to how wild last night had been.
Mira suddenly felt fortunate that Alex had many women around him. While last night's experience was comfortable and satisfying, it was something she could only handle occasionally. Being constantly over-tormented like that was something her body couldn't withstand daily.
It would indeed turn her into a premature woman, just as Alex had joked.
Perhaps having more people share the pressure isn't so bad after all...
"Meow~"
"Meow~"
The morning sun was blocked by clouds. Yesterday's thunderstorm had passed, and the cool breeze brushed against Alex's face. Raindrops still clung to the leaves. The fresh air filled him with energy. He remembered how his legs used to go weak after five or six rounds in one night; now...
There was still some standing water on the ground. The little cat leaped over a small puddle, landing lightly beside Alex. It then let out a meow that sounded like a mixture of resentment and haughtiness, trying to catch his attention.
If it weren't for the sound, he might have forgotten about the cat.
Although the kitten was cute, his attention had been entirely focused on the sexy and captivating Mrs. Mira.
"Oh, little guy, why did you follow me?" Alex looked down at the pure white cat next to his feet. "Little one, you don't plan on sticking with me, do you?"
"Meow—!"
The kitten seemed a little timid, yet also drawn to him, likely because of yesterday's contact. It was obvious the little creature rarely got close to humans; after all, Nina Tsubakihara had failed several times to approach it at the Tsubakihara house yesterday.
"Tsk, look how dirty you are. Even if you wanted to follow me, I wouldn't be willing," Alex said with great disdain. Predictably, this comment made the kitten arch its back.
"Meow—!"
The little creature wasn't actually very dirty; Alex was merely teasing her. But judging by her reaction...
Can this little one understand my words? She truly isn't an ordinary animal; she has so much spirit. Could she be some kind of supernatural being, like a Yokai? Alex wondered to himself.
After all, in this world, where even supernatural abilities existed, the appearance of a Yokai or even a demon wouldn't be too surprising.
"Oh? Mrs. Haruhi?"
From a distance, he saw the chestnut-haired woman at the doorway of the house next door. She was a married woman whose allure was comparable to Mira and Natsumi, radiating a full, mature female aura, and she was even younger than them.
Of course, with Alex around, the disadvantage of age for Mrs. Natsumi and Mrs. Mira was no longer an issue—which was why Yuna Tsubakihara had found her mother to be more supple than a young girl when she woke up early this morning.
"Good morning, Alex..."
Seeing Alex, Mrs. Haruhi Yoake's expression froze before she quickly greeted him. Her face was clouded with worry, suggesting she was preoccupied.
"Good morning, Mrs. Haruhi. What are you doing at the door so early? Are you in a bad mood?" Alex noticed her unusual state and blinked, asking.
"I... I'm waiting for someone," her husband hadn't returned last night, complicating Mrs. Haruhi's feelings. Worse than her husband's habitual overnight absences was that man, Gozo Kuraso...
He wasn't just harassing her by phone; he had actually come to her house. The young wife didn't know how long she could hide before running into that terrible man.
Recalling the sight of Alex scaring the man away previously, Mrs. Haruhi spoke on an impulse. "Alex, would you like to come in for a moment?"
"Oh?"
What am I saying? I'm inviting Alex into the house...
However, we are neighbors, so visiting a neighbor shouldn't be a problem. Besides, he is indeed extraordinary. If I can ask Alex for help, maybe...
"You're inviting me, Mrs. Haruhi? Of course, I can," Alex didn't refuse. "Then I'll be intruding... Huh? Is Mr. Azuma not home?"
"No..."
Leading the young man, her next-door neighbor, inside, and hearing his surprised words, Mrs. Haruhi's heart inexplicably began to race.
