'I can't wait to get home.'
Having already tasted a sexy, delicious MILF like Aunt Ayaka, I was practically salivating at the thought of fucking an even higher-quality MILF, who was also my mother, and making her mine.
My mind was already planning a thousand miles in the future, at least until I reached home.
"Mom, I'm home!"
The moment those words left my mouth, and I stepped in through the door, I saw my mother, looking like an otherworldly MILF goddess in a tight-fitting OL suit—a white shirt unable to conceal the size of those massive breasts that bounced as she ran and the black short skirt that showcased her long, toned legs—rushing towards me.
However, as she came closer, what greeted me wasn't the warm, lovely hug I had expected, but a fist.
A very familiar and very fast fist, accompanied by a furious roar.
"Damn you, brat. You finally decided to come back?!"
"Hey Mom, relax! Wait—whoa!"
My vision was filled by the incoming punch, and I barely managed to dodge it on instinct alone.
Woosh!
The missed punch whipped past my face, making my skin tingle.
Unfortunately, that was only the beginning, because the moment I twisted out of that fist's way, my mother disappeared from my sight and, in an instant, reappeared behind me as if she had teleported.
"Caught you!"
The moment I heard those words, her two fingers had already caught my ear.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Mom! It hurts!"
She twisted my ear mercilessly and scolded in a sharp voice.
"Now you know it hurts? Do you have any idea how much I was hurt when you left yesterday without saying a word? Do you know how much I planned for your eighteenth birthday?!"
Her grip on my ear tightened a little.
"But you! Why do you care?! You disappeared for an entire day and night! And now you just come back as if nothing happened and suddenly remember you still have a mother?!"
She scolded me nonstop while continuing to twist my ear.
The insane part was that she was barely using any of her strength, and yet I felt like my ear was about to fall off.
My mother was a high-ranking Hunter, one of the most powerful people in the country.
If she really wanted to, she could probably flick me with those two fingers and toss me straight into the stratosphere.
Of course, whether I would survive such a toss and reach the stratosphere alive was a completely different problem.
Nevertheless, there was no doubt in my mind that only a handful of people on the entire continent could hope to match her, and I, who had just started to channel his mana, was not even in the same league.
My chances of forcing an escape were an absolute zero.
But brute force wasn't always the answer.
Having lived more than eighteen years with this MILF, I knew her weakness like the back of my hand. So the solution here was obvious.
"Mommy," I spoke like an innocent child while shamelessly rubbing my face against her shoulder.
Indeed, the solution was not to argue, not to explain, and certainly not to try to justify anything. Just apologize immediately and shamelessly.
I acted on that knowledge, turned around as much as I could, wrapped my arms around her waist, and apologized to her in the cutest voice, pouring every ounce of that fake regret into my eyes and voice.
"My dear, cutest mommy, I'm really, really sorry."
And as I had expected, my plan worked like a charm. The moment my arms encircled her waist, she froze.
The fury on her face melted away, replaced instantly by a deep, beautiful crimson blush that bloomed across her cheeks like a wildfire.
"…Really?"
"Really," I nodded fervently. "One hundred percent genuine."
One had to know that my mother loved me more than anyone in this world; even Aunt Ayaka's affection towards me couldn't compare to my mother's love for me.
Considering that, the effect of my passive ability, Carnal Charm, was even greater on her.
Carnal Charm was a passive ability that could turn someone's favorable impressions towards me into affection, love, and ultimately, raw desire and lust.
Given enough time, it could make even the most devout nun abandon her vows and crave me.
It could be seen from Aunt Ayaka's behavior how effective it was, and I had no doubt my mother felt an even stronger lust for me, but as a High-Ranking Hunter with mental strength that had long solidified and could interact with matter, she had suppressed all that lust.
Still, she couldn't deny her love for me. And when I turned that affection back on her, hugging her and using that affectionate tone, her defenses crumbled the fastest.
Just like now. Her grip on my ear loosened, and I cheered in my heart.
'Even if I can't beat you in strength yet, you still have to be outsmarted by me, Mom.'
Chuckling in my heart, I pressed my advantage and immediately pulled my ear out from her now-loose fingers.
Then I turned around to completely hug her and whispered in her ear.
"Thanks mom. You're the best."
Feeling my hot breath on her ear, her neck turned a deep red, but she refused to show it on her face.
"Don't think it's over... Tell me, how will you compensate for what you did?" she asked stiffly, clearly trying to maintain her angry tone.
"Anything," I replied instantly. "Any plan you decide, I'm ready."
Hearing my words, she finally let out a breath, and her voice softened a little.
"Great… but there's no plan for the next few days. I already planned everything for you yesterday…" She sighed, then shook her head.
"… Forget yesterday. This time, I'll plan something even better, and if you don't like it...." She added the last part quickly, shoving me away and crossing her arms in a flimsy attempt to regain her authority, "You can just get lost."
Seeing her flustered state, I couldn't resist the urge to tease her, so I raised an eyebrow and asked meaningfully.
"Huh? Get lost? Me? Are you saying you don't love your own son? That you're a bad mother who wants her son to get lost?"
Hearing those teasing words and seeing that mischievous smile, tick marks appeared on her forehead. Her eyebrows twitched with renewed rage, she cracked her knuckles, and began to walk towards me slowly.
"Ren... I think you are really asking for a beating."
She lunged at me, but I had already twisted my body away a split second before she could grab me.
"Haha, you have to catch me first, Mom!"
With that, I ran away at full speed, and so began the chase, where I sprinted through the grand hallways of our house with my mother in hot pursuit of me.
Our footsteps and playful shouts echoed in the mansion, and the maids we passed didn't dare to even glance in our direction. They all had their heads bowed low.
In fact, they were all used to these antics of our mother and son, but they knew better than to witness their mistress's rare, childish side, lest a single wrong look could get them fired on the spot.
Naturally, if my mother had been serious, I wouldn't have taken the second step before being caught.
But she didn't do that because she, too, was enjoying this game. After all, this was our version of mother-son bonding.
Nevertheless, it wasn't long before I was caught and pinned down by my mother, who tickled me until I was laughing, crying, and apologizing at the same time.
"Hahaha... sorry, Mom... Hahaha... I am really... Hahaha... Stop…"
"Now you know not to mess with your mother."
"Yes yes yes."
Satisfied with my answer, her lips curved just slightly before she turned away with a sharp, "Hmph."
Seeing this, I also cursed her in my head.
'You Tsundere MILF! Just you wait, once I fuck you senseless, let's see if you can still say 'hmph'.'
While that delicious fantasy played in my mind, I suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Mom."
I said and casually got up from the floor and dusted myself off as if nothing had happened.
"We have to go to the Hunter's Association today, right? To register me as an Awakened."
"…I know," she replied noncommittally, then turned towards me, already back in her command mode. "I've prepared the documents and arranged everything there."
Before I could react, she grabbed me by the arm, much more gently this time, and ordered.
"Go change. You can't go looking like this."
Then, not allowing me to even voice my opinion, she pushed me toward my room before closing the door.
When I finally came back out, fully changed and ready, the front of the house was already bustling.
Multiple luxury black cars were lined up in front of and behind the main red vehicle.
My mother's personal female butler, who was also a veteran Hunter and bodyguard, also stood by the door, with a perfect posture and a calm expression.
As for my mother, she took the driver's seat, and I quickly got in beside her. Once I was in, the convoy finally began to move.
Our destination: The Hunter's Association.
In fact, although the schedule was set by my mother, it was due to my secret push behind the scenes that made her specifically choose this day.
And the reason for this was that today one of the Female Leads of the world was also going to register her awakening.
Naturally, I had no intention of interacting with that notorious bitch with an arrogant personality, but I was still excited.
'I can't wait to show off now and see that bitch's twisted expression. Hehe.'
