Rimono Momoki's house was a detached, single-family home. It looked just like any other, with a very common architectural style. The yard was typical as well, mostly just having a slightly richer variety of flowers and plants. Alistair surveyed the exterior while standing at the gate; overall, it was indistinguishable from the surrounding houses.
"I thought you said your family's economic condition was quite good. Don't people with good economic conditions usually rent luxury apartments?" Alistair asked Rimono Momoki, who was busy opening the courtyard gate.
"Why don't we live in a luxury apartment? Because we can't bear to leave this place. My mom and dad said they've lived here for many years and don't want to move. And this neighborhood is very safe; don't worry, thieves absolutely can't get in," Rimono Momoki explained while unlocking the gate.
Soon, Rimono Momoki opened the main door and led Alistair inside.
"Tadaima (I'm home)," Rimono Momoki called out as she opened the house door, but there was no response inside, only a faint echo.
"Huh? Is your mother not home either?" Alistair looked into the house. Due to the gloomy weather and the lights being off, the interior was dark and somewhat eerie.
"My mom works too, so I've always taken care of things by myself. They both usually come back at night." Rimono Momoki's answer contained a hint of loneliness. Alistair, who had experienced a similar situation before transmigrating, was very sensitive to this feeling.
"It's okay. At least I'll be here with you today." Alistair collected the umbrella, shook the water off at the entrance, and placed it in the holder.
"Mhm. Oh, right, Alistair-senpai, it's already past eleven, almost noon. Should we have lunch first?" Rimono Momoki put on her indoor slippers, retrieved a pair of guest slippers for Alistair, and asked.
"Oh? Are you a good cook?" Alistair asked casually as he put on the slippers Rimono Momoki provided.
"Of course! I've been preparing my own lunch and dinner all this time." Rimono Momoki proudly puffed out the two massive melons on her chest, hands on her hips. However, Alistair's attention wasn't on her words but on the swaying softness. According to the law of Mass-ive Attraction, the greater the mass, the greater the attraction, so Alistair's gaze being drawn there was only natural.
"Didn't you just eat a lot of sweets at the shop? I remember there were quite a few empty plates on the table." Alistair recalled the plates he had seen at the dessert shop, sounding suspicious.
"But I was asking you, Alistair-senpai. You only ate one strawberry daifuku. I remember it clearly." Rimono Momoki looked at Alistair with wide eyes.
"... No, I'm not hungry. Come on, let's go up and see your room first." Alistair paused, then changed the subject with a casual excuse and headed for the stairs first.
"Ah, wait for me, Alistair-senpai, I'll show you the way." Rimono Momoki quickly chased after him, running ahead of Alistair.
The stairs in Rimono Momoki's house weren't directly facing the front door but were at a ninety-degree angle to it. So, the rooms upstairs were split between the front and the back of the house. Rimono Momoki's room was the one at the front.
Perhaps because her family was well-off, they were generous with the space, as the entire front section had been opened up to form Rimono Momoki's room. However, the house's overall footprint wasn't large, so even after opening it up, the big room was only about twice the size of Alistair's apartment room.
Upon entering the room, a window was directly opposite the door. Next to the window was a very large floor mattress. Since it was tatami flooring, one could sleep directly on it as a hard bed or a mat, but those who were a bit more particular would lay down some bedding. Those who preferred softness would use a large mattress like this, about two meters by two-point-four meters and a little over an inch thick. It looked comfortable. The window next to it offered a view of the outside, though Alistair wasn't sure what beautiful scenery there was to see.
"It's quite spacious." Alistair looked around and also noticed some bookshelves and game cartridges.
"I didn't realize you were an otaku," Alistair said casually, walking over and picking up a game cartridge (similar to a magnetic tape). He suddenly saw the cover art: a scantily clad beautiful girl.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, this, this is just research material for my study on that subject... You, you can understand, right? After all, my boyfriend doesn't know as much as Alistair-senpai..." Having her "study material" seen, Rimono Momoki was at a loss for words and started babbling nervously, unsure how to explain herself to Alistair.
"It's fine, it's fine, I understand. By the way, when do you want to start?" Alistair put down the "study material" and asked Rimono Momoki.
"Well, how about we start now?" Rimono Momoki turned her head and whispered.
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da...
The continuous, fine, cold raindrops hitting the window created a constant sound, forming a sharp contrast with the warmth inside the room.
At this moment, Rimono Momoki was only wearing a pair of panties and a blue bra, and Alistair was left in only a pair of gray boxer briefs. Yet, neither of them felt cold. Far from it; Rimono Momoki felt like her entire body was burning up.
Rimono Momoki had never been like this in front of another boy. Even though she kept mentally reassuring herself that Alistair was only there to guide her and instruct her in that specific subject, she still felt like flames were igniting and making her body progressively hotter and hotter.
"Don't worry about it. We can take it slow. Just let your mind gradually accept it. You need to remember that this is simply a deep transfer of experience regarding social relationships."
Alistair slowly approached Rimono Momoki, starting by gently stroking her back, trying to get her to relax. At the same time, he activated his [Pheromones] ability, causing Rimono Momoki's body to instinctively crave physical contact with Alistair even more, making her feel even hotter and more "hungry."
It must be said that the [Pheromones] ability was truly excellent, and it worked even better when combined with Alistair's extremely high charisma. Alistair might not have realized it, but his exceptionally high charisma didn't just mean his outstanding looks; it also included an unusual affinity. Coupled with the passively emitted [Pheromones], any woman meeting Alistair for the first time would naturally have a high level of goodwill toward him, which was incredibly convenient for Alistair's conquest attempts.
"Uh, mhm..." Rimono Momoki, whose hands were awkwardly covering her chest, gradually lowered them.
Feeling the warm hand stroking her back, the muscles that Rimono Momoki had unconsciously tensed up due to nervousness slowly relaxed, allowing her to enjoy Alistair's gentle caresses.
"Mph!"
Feeling Alistair's other hand rest on her shoulder, Rimono Momoki let out a muffled grunt of reaction and trembled all over. She wanted to shrug her shoulder to shake off Alistair's hand, but she resisted and allowed the caress from Alistair's other hand.
Snap.
As Alistair stroked her again and again, Rimono Momoki's muscles slowly relaxed, and the feeling of nervousness gradually disappeared. She began to enjoy Alistair's repeated stroking on her back like a little puppy. So, during another stroke, Alistair subtly unhooked the clasp on the back of Rimono Momoki's last piece of clothing.
"..." Rimono Momoki pressed her pink lips together, showing no reaction and letting Alistair continue his actions, though her breathing frequency had become somewhat erratic.
"Relax, it's okay. You need to get used to this gradually. I'll take my time. Don't be so scared..." Alistair leaned his head close to Rimono Momoki's ear, speaking slowly and softly.
"Mhm." Rimono Momoki closed her eyes and let out a soft, sweet hum. Her hands slowly relaxed and reached for Alistair's arms, gripping him gently. The last piece of coverage over her chest was already precariously loose. If her two melons weren't so large, holding up the fabric, the bra might have already fallen off.
"Yes, just like that. Slowly, follow my lead." Alistair moved closer to Rimono Momoki, pressing against her back. His hands reached forward from under her arms. When Alistair's chest touched Rimono Momoki's smooth back, he could clearly feel her body tremble, followed by a slight, involuntary tensing.
"Relax, relax, relax-x-x..." Alistair gently blew warm air into Rimono Momoki's ear. His hands grabbed Rimono Momoki's last piece of clothing and slowly pulled it down, gradually revealing the full contours of the soft, white melons before Alistair.
"Can you slow down a little more?" Rimono Momoki's hands suddenly grabbed Alistair's, stopping the last bit of clothing from dropping and fully exposing the final pink cherry tips. However, from Alistair's perspective, hints of pink color were already visible. Alistair didn't need to rush; taking his time to savor this was just as delightful.
"Mhm, of course."
As he spoke, Alistair gently lowered his head. His lips touched Rimono Momoki's tender skin. The slight wetness made Rimono Momoki's entire body tense up again, and only then did she relax. She uncomfortably twisted her body, and with that twist, the almost exposed little cherries were fully revealed to the air, subtly swaying with gentle ripples...
