Tsubaki Rurikawsa was lost in thought.
She had been by Alex's side for some time now. As a fallen noble serving as his maid, she had witnessed a great deal—Yori, Professor Shirakawa at school, and now this mother-daughter pair...
In a way, her Master was truly a villain.
If she thought about it logically, his actions weren't much different from that of Boyman; they both set their sights on women and used any means necessary to take them. So why didn't she feel the slightest bit of disgust toward Alex?
Was it because he had saved her and helped her?
Tsubaki was convinced that Alex had saved her for her body and her beauty. If she had been an average-looking girl, or even a man, he wouldn't have lifted a finger. He played the hero specifically because she was beautiful.
And yet, the maid didn't feel disappointed. Instead, she felt a strange sense of happiness. She even found herself wondering: If he helped me because of my charm, why hasn't he laid a hand on me yet? This thought occasionally bloomed into a quiet anxiety.
It was quite helpless.
Tsubaki kicked the man in the bathroom back down as he tried to rush out in protest, slamming the door shut again. Watching everything unfolding in this ordinary household, she thought to herself... perhaps it was because of the subtle, easily missed tenderness hidden beneath his domineering exterior.
Thinking of the power he had bestowed upon her to seek her revenge, Tsubaki's elegant lips curled into a slight smile. This domineering, lewd, possessive, and stingy Master was far from the perfect "hero" of a manga, yet so many girls stayed by his side, willing to be his women.
Perhaps that was why... otherwise, why would Saki Yoshida, who had only recently met him, be willing to serve him alongside her mother?
Thinking about it made Tsubaki's own body feel a bit... restless. Her legs rubbed together slightly, and her full, perky breasts swayed. It wasn't just the lewd scene before her that stimulated her; it was the emotion in her heart.
Arousal born from love.
But Tsubaki didn't move, nor did she go forward to ask for pleasure. She had to keep watch over the man in the bathroom. One had to admit, this maid was exceptionally dedicated. She stood there as a silent guardian for over two hours.
A maid who didn't say a word, had no presence, and acted only as a silent protector—who would believe she was once a high-born noble lady?
Though Alex hadn't been in this world long, he had already changed many people's lives. In the future, the number of girls whose lives he transformed would only grow... he might even change the world itself.
But that was a story for another time.
"Master, how should we handle that man?" Once everything was over, Saki and her mother were slumped on the sofa, looking somewhat dazed. The beautiful pair hadn't been able to withstand the boy's assault; his physical stamina was terrifying.
To put it another way, the mature lady had been thoroughly filled by Alex, tasting the true joy of sex for the first time. However, while her body felt the pleasure, her mind... still found it hard to accept what she had done with her daughter.
Tsubaki helped Alex dress and asked about the miserable man in the bathroom, who looked like he had lost half his life from the shock.
"He is Saki's father, after all. There's no need to be too cruel," Alex smiled. "To prevent him from harming anyone else in the future, just snip off the 'root of all evil' and take away his remaining lifespan."
Is that not cruel? Tsubaki thought. Master really is a devil.
Following a heart-wrenching, earth-shattering, and utterly tragic scream, Alex led Saki, her mother, and Tsubaki out of the apartment a few minutes later.
As Alex had said before, although the auntie was Saki's mother and he had tasted them together, her status was merely that of a slave. Taking her to Tokyo was primarily so she could look after Saki.
"Master, didn't you say you were on good terms with the Haibara family?" Tsubaki asked, carrying the luggage. "Aren't we going to see them?"
"No. My relationship with the Haibara family is purely transactional. Auntie Shiho is a separate matter from the family. Besides," Alex looked back at the girls behind him and laughed, "rather than the Haibaras, I'd rather go on a date. Saki, what do you think?"
"Eh? A date? I'd love to!" Saki Yoshida nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at grain. She was desperate to go on a date with the boy she loved. She flushed with joy and fidgeted shyly. "It's my first time... a date with someone I like..."
The mature woman said nothing. Watching her daughter's joyful expression, she felt a complex mix of guilt—not just for the misunderstanding, but for her past lack of care. As for Alex... though he was excessive, he seemed sincere toward Saki. But why did he have to do that to her too?
The thought of her lewd behavior and moans while being serviced alongside her daughter made her want to crawl into a hole and die.
Saki didn't care about that. After returning to Tokyo and settling her mother into an apartment, she followed Alex and the maid onto the subway to Ginza.
"Wow, so this is Ginza in Tokyo? It's amazing..."
"Kyoto's prosperity isn't any less than this," Alex said, puzzled by Saki's shock. "Is this your first time in Tokyo?"
"Yes, I never had the chance before... Shibuya, Shinjuku, Odaiba—I've always wanted to see them," Saki chirped like a lively sparrow. "Especially the Hachiko statue. I've only ever seen photos on my phone."
"There will be plenty of time for that. Summer break starts in two days," Alex said, leading the two girls through the bustling Ginza commercial district. The streets were lined with international restaurants and gourmet food. "What do you want to eat?"
"Everything looks so expensive. Alex, let's not buy things here," Saki said, intimidated by the luxury prices.
"What are you afraid of? I... Miss Mila has plenty of money..."
Before he could finish, a stranger interrupted.
"Ha! This isn't a place students like you can afford," said a man in a suit, looking like a successful professional. His eyes wandered over the two beautiful girls. "However, if you two lovely ladies would like to go on a date with me, I can pick up the tab."
"..." "..."
Were they being hit on?
Saki was too embarrassed to speak, and Tsubaki's face went cold. Alex rubbed his forehead, his lips twitching. Even in Ginza, there were perverts; they just swapped the delinquent hoodies for expensive suits.
"Excuse me," Tsubaki said, pulling Saki back and stepping forward to confront the man. "We aren't interested."
"Are you worried about your companion? Honestly, a poor student like him..."
"My Master might not have your money, but he's bigger than you. Are you bigger than him?"
"..." "..."
Tsubaki, what the hell are you saying? Alex thought, his face darkening.
After the man scurried away in embarrassment, Alex gave her a playful smack on the butt. "What if he actually wanted to compare? Tsubaki, did you really want me to drop my pants and show him?"
"Pfft~" The maid let out a radiant, flower-like smile. "Of course not. Rich people like that value their reputation. They aren't like street thugs; they wouldn't do something so humiliating."
As a former noble lady, Tsubaki understood that type of man well. She paused for a few seconds. "Besides, even if you did compare, Master wouldn't lose, right?" She winked playfully.
Alex was speechless and could only give her hip another squeeze. Beside them, Saki looked on with admiration. Tsubaki was so cool; she would never dare say something like that.
