"Alex, you're planning something naughty again, aren't you?"
The atmosphere was awkward. Tsubaki Rurikawa, the beautiful girl who possessed the air of a maid despite wearing a school uniform, stood before Alex. Although her cheeks were flushed crimson, she didn't refute or refuse her Master's suggestive words. She just lowered her head, lips pressed together, her bangs obscuring her shy eyes and expression, saying nothing.
She seemed to be tacitly accepting the boy's teasing.
Meanwhile, Yui and the others beside them had subtle expressions. Their deeply loved boyfriend was flirting with yet another girl. A little sourness, a sense of jealousy, spread among them, but feeling jealous was only natural.
Despite their envy, neither Chiaki, Makoto, nor even the gyaru Ai Kitakami directed any animosity toward the maid girl. Aside from giving Alex a flirtatious glare, they tacitly accepted this reality.
No reason, other than they were used to it.
Tsubaki Rurikawa's face was burning hot. Her Master was unexpectedly a playboy, involved in ambiguous relationships with so many girls. Furthermore, he was teasing her, too... But, strangely, if Master had those kind of... thoughts about her, why hadn't he done anything?
He'd had such a perfect opportunity two days ago.
If he had wanted to do that... lewd thing to her, she wouldn't have been able to resist. Even if she could, for the sake of revenge and power, perhaps she wouldn't have refused anyway. Why did he do nothing?
The only time he had touched her was when he granted her the mysterious Silver Crest, where he had briefly touched her breast and taken a small liberty.
Alex... Master... is he perhaps not interested in me?
Tsubaki Rurikawa's thoughts were a jumbled mess. As they walked, she both wrestled with her confusion and sneaked glances at the boy beside her, lagging slightly behind him. Watching him laugh and joke with several beautiful girls, a trace of envy unconsciously appeared in her eyes.
"Are you all going home now?"
"We can't live at Alex's house forever, my mom has asked several times," Chiaki sighed.
"Just tell your family the truth about cohabitation."
"We could, but it's too embarrassing..."
"Alex isn't going home tonight? Looks like it's just Mom and me again... oh, and Rinka-chan~"
"I'll leave Rinka in your care. I'll be heading over to the apartment for the next few days." Alex said.
"Because of Mrs. Yōri?"
All eyes turned to Alex. He cleared his throat. It seemed the news hadn't been kept from the group. Alex hadn't intended to hide it, but the thought of seducing the married Mrs. Yōri still made him turn his face away awkwardly.
"Mrs. Yōri volunteered, alright? Let me make it clear, I conquered that married woman through my own talent..."
I poached the prize fair and square, why should I feel ashamed?
The wicked young man named Alex thought, utterly without shame and full of self-satisfaction.
"Of course, of course," Yui brushed her shoulder against his, leaning into him. She covered her mouth with a hand, half-amused, half-dotingly. "Alex is the most virtuous man. Otherwise, we wouldn't... love him so much. Even Mom fell for him, so adding Mrs. Yōri isn't surprising."
Mom?
Tsubaki Rurikawa's eyes widened as if she'd seen a ghost, looking at Yui Obata in shock. Her delicate, beautiful face showed a trace of confusion. The maid girl had been shocked multiple times today.
"See you tomorrow, Alex. We'll let Rurikawa-san and Mrs. Yōri have you for the next few days, but you have to compensate us properly afterward," The red light at the intersection stopped the youthful beauties. Alex, surrounded by the girls, endured countless looks of envy and jealousy.
Especially when Makoto Himejima daringly gave him a sweet kiss on the corner of his mouth, then grabbed her school bag and ran off, apparently shy.
"That's right, you have to compensate us for everything," Yui Obata licked her pink lips. Her quick session with her lover during skipped class, and the feeling of being filled up inside, hadn't completely satisfied her. The red-haired girl wrapped her arms around Alex's neck.
Their lips met. She stuck out her small, fragrant tongue, brazenly pushing into his mouth for a hot, entwined kiss. When they separated, her eyes were moist. "What we did earlier... it wasn't enough~"
"Alex..."
Chiaki didn't say much, offering him a similar kiss, gentle yet seductive. She whispered into his ear with a giggle, "Alex, I was the first one, you know? Don't neglect me when you come back. You have to... fill me up completely. I haven't done it in days, and I'm really craving it~"
With that, Chiaki waved a gentle goodbye.
The last one, the white-haired gyaru, stood before Alex, her expression gradually flushing and shy. She didn't say anything, but locked into a deep, passionate French kiss with him for a good ten minutes before finally separating their lips in satisfaction. Without a word, she left a small bite mark on the corner of his mouth and ran off shyly.
Alex touched the corner of his mouth where she had bitten him. It didn't hurt much; the playful bite was actually quite a stimulating form of foreplay.
Tsubaki Rurikawa watched all of this. The maid girl observed her Master flirting and engaging in intimate acts with several beautiful girls, surrounded by a lovely, pink, romantic atmosphere. Tsubaki deeply understood the profound affection between them.
It wasn't based on coercion or force...
I'm a little envious, Tsubaki thought quietly. The atmosphere settled, and Alex remained silent, so she also followed the boy in silence, all the way back to the apartment.
"Master, please wait," Tsubaki Rurikawa hurried into the room first, quickly changed into her maid uniform, and then carefully placed slippers neatly in front of Alex at the entrance.
Alex looked at the shoes and then at the maid girl kneeling in dogeza before him—the epitome of aristocratic tradition, he thought, tsk tsk. Alex put on the slippers, and the maid quickly took his school bag.
"Master, I will run your bath now, and dinner will be ready shortly..."
"Tsubaki, you know how to cook now?"
"I am trying hard to learn. I... know a little now."
Is this the maid's self-cultivation? Alex pressed his palm against the girl's soft, smooth cheek, stroking it gently, feeling the youthfulness and graceful presence of the maid girl. "Tsubaki, you are very dedicated."
"...I am Master's maid," the fallen noblewoman's voice was small. She whispered, "These are a maid's basic duties."
"If that's the case, warming the bed seems to be part of a maid's duties as well, doesn't it?" Alex looked down at her. Unimpeded by her neckline, he could clearly see inside her collar—a vast expanse of pale flesh, her full, prominent white breasts, seemingly ready to spill out, radiating an irresistible scent.
They seemed to beckon her Master for him to ravage and invade them...
Alex didn't touch her breast. Instead, his finger lightly stroked her collarbone, causing Tsubaki's body to tremble slightly. The cold, beautiful face was immediately tinged with red.
"If... if Master... Master wishes it..."
If Alex gave the command, she would proactively warm his bed. Tsubaki Rurikawa's submissive attitude left Alex speechless. He could only conclude that this maid was too dutiful, or perhaps she was too desperate for revenge?
"Tsubaki, since you've performed so well... I'll give you a reward."
A reward?
In a flash, the stunned girl was pulled close to the boy, nose to nose, their breaths mingling on each other's faces.
The girl felt like she was suffocating.
"Mas... Master..."
"I will grant you an ability. Now, stick out your tongue—"
