「 Is it that bad? 」I asked Luna.
「 It"s not like that, but… 」
She replies after giving it a thought.
「 I think that she wants her father to look decent 」
「 Look decent? You mean wearing a s.h.i.+rt, necktie, and a business suit? 」
「 That"s not it, he doesn"t need to fuss about his clothing, but I don"t think that looks decent either 」
Hmmm. Kudou-papa is, you know?…
「 Yeah. I think my father dresses better than him 」
Koyomi-chan said.
Koyomi-chan"s father belongs to the Yakuza.
He"s gone from this world, just like her mother, Kiyomi-san.
「 Right, why does that old man dress up like that? 」
Yukino asks. Katsuko-nee;
「 I think it would look good on Kudou-san if he were younger… 」
「 Nono, Katsuko-oneechan…If Kudou-san was younger, that"s not even part of the fas.h.i.+on! 」
Nei said.
「 But, there are a lot of people who still dress up with the fas.h.i.+on from when they were young… 」
「 Ah, there sure were from the customers in the mansion like that 」
Nei watched the customers when the brothel was in business back then.
「 That old man was wearing a business suit and sweater as the unders.h.i.+rt, and when he wears a beret, he looks like an old mangaka. He"s also got mustache and wears sungla.s.ses even at night 」
「 That one is a famous artist 」
「 Really? I was sure that it was Onodersensei that shows up on “Gara**no***Tsura”! 」
Nei bursts out as Kansenpai"s gone.
「 Well, yeah, you wouldn"t want your father to look that strange. But I think that it"s also problematic if your father"s too fas.h.i.+onable. My Papa, for example, he"s wearing a white suit during summer. Well, he"s quite tall and somewhat handsome, but still, he"s going too far that he"s out of place 」
Yukino talks about her late father.
「 That guy is a narcissist after all… 」
Katsuko-nee speaks nostalgically.
She hardly has any resentment towards s.h.i.+rasaka Sousuke anymore.
Back then, she"s only driven by her hatred and desire for revenge.
All of the women in the mansion who suffered from s.h.i.+rasaka Sousuke"s hands were like that, but…
「 Well, he"s working in an advertising agency, and so I think he can"t help but want to look good. More people are dressing weirdly in his company. They"re all forcing themselves to look young, like over age-forty men who are trying out the hairstyle of the young guys. They even shave off their eyebrows. Disgusting. Doesn"t mean that it applies to all of them though 」
s.h.i.+rasaka Sousuke must have a lot of friends in s...o...b..siness that hara.s.ses female talents.
「 In the end, boys need to go with fas.h.i.+on appropriate for their age 」
Yukino said.
「 My Granduncle in s.h.i.+rasaka main house was like that 」
「 The head of a distinguished family won"t make himself look ridiculous 」
Katsuko-nee said.
s.h.i.+rasaka house owns newspaper and television companies, and so they"re a distinguished family.
Naturally, they"re no match to Kouzuki house.
「 Speaking of which, Jii-chan always looks decent 」
I said. Katsuko-nee…
「 Well, that"s natural. People like Kouzuki-sama always have someone near him 」
Someone near him.
「 His bodyguards or Yazawsan. They"re not his family, see? 」
「 If you"re in Kouzuki-ojiichan level, you still need to talk to people even if it"s in the middle of the night 」
Nei said.
「 That"s right. Therefore, Kouzuki-sama, he can"t dress up comfortably unless he"s in his bedroom or in our mansion 」
His bedroom, and the brothel.
「 He can"t feel at ease when people are looking at him 」
Just like Misuzu and Ruriko.
They never break their posture unless it"s only with family.
In that regard, they open up and become disheveled when having s.e.x.
They can"t open up their hearts unless they get naked.
I"m sure Jii-chan was like that.
「 We do have some security people around our house, but there"s no bodyguard that follows us inside the mansion 」
That"s right when Jii-chan came over, he asked Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san to stay outside.
「 The mansion, in a sense, is a s.p.a.ce for Kouzuki-sama to relax. There are cameras, but Ojou-sama and Kyouko-san are the only people watching. You know that Kouzuki-sama brought Kyouko-san here, right? 」
「 Yeah 」
I replied.
Jii-chan entrusted the monitoring and protection of the brothel to Kyouko-san, a person he trusts, and that"s what revived the Kuromori brothel.
Then, the old customers came back together.
Kyouko-san"s presence prevented s.h.i.+rasaka Sousuke from doing anything absurd in the mansion.
However, Jii-chan only entrusted the safety of the brothel, so…
Minaho-neesan needed a lot of time as s.h.i.+rasaka Sousuke took over the whole management of Kuromori.
And during the time, Margo-san took over Kyouko-san"s job.
「 You two can stop with that, right? Anyway, girls want their fathers to look das.h.i.+ng… 」
Yukino changes the topic.
She probably doesn"t want to recall her father, who died horribly.
「 Speaking of which, aren"t you looking decent recently? 」
M-Me?
「 Your s.h.i.+rt under your uniform looks clean, and it"s even ironed out. Your daily clothes have a better sense than before 」
「 Well, that"s because Katsuko-nee, Nagisa, and everyone does it for me 」
I don"t know much about clothing.
I just leave it up to them.
「 It"s not just us, the other girls are also giving their opinions on what he should wear, and we decide on that. There are times where we shop them together 」
Katsuko-nee said while driving.
「 It"s just that Misuzu-chan always give out some odd suggestions 」
Yeah, Ruriko"s got standard suggestions, though.
Misuzu"s the one who always makes me wear weird stuff.
「 Odd suggestions? 」
Yukino asked. Nei;
「 Mii-chan"s into some wild look for Yo-chan for some reason.
Like when she styled my hair to a pompadour look last May.
「 What kind of wild? 」
「 Like, wearing leather jeans and a leather hat and stuff. If asked where she got this idea, she said “Indiana Jones” 」
I replied.
「 Huh? That doesn"t suit you at all, though? 」
Yukino"s surprised.
「 And there"s also that snakeskin pattern jacket back then. Do you know the movie “Wild at Heart”? 」
「 Nope 」
「 She said that"s what the protagonist was wearing 」
「 Who"s that, by the way? 」
「 Nicolas Cage 」
「 That looks completely different from you 」
Right.
But, Misuzu wants me to put on those strange clothing.
「 It"s like when children want to borrow cosplay when brought at an amus.e.m.e.nt park 」
Nei said.
「 You see, Mii-chan knows that Yo-chan"s okay with whatever. 」 That"s why she"s having fun making Yo-chan wear all the things 」
「 Oh, but it doesn"t need to be something that looks good. I get that 」
Yukino agreed.
「 Those girls can"t open up their heart to anyone but Yo-chan 」
Misuzu"s also twisted.
「 Right. She"s got faith on this complete idiot 」
I see. Misuzu doesn"t have anyone but me.
She doesn"t worry if I look better than before.
Instead, she asks me to wear something unusual for her and smile at it.
Just like a young mother who asks her child to cosplay princess or magician and take photos.
「 What about you, Ai-chan? What kind of look you want Yo-chan to see? 」
Nei asks Ai.
「 I-I…Uhm… 」
Ai blushed.
「 I-I like Yos.h.i.+dkun N-Naked… 」
Hmm?
「 Ai will get naked right away then… 」
She replies, bashfully.
Err.
「 Hmm, that"s okay too. I now get that this girl has that personality 」
Yukino said.
「 You"re going at a different speed. Your thoughts, I mean. You see, for me, it goes round and round at a fast pace, but this girl takes it slow 」
No, Yukino, you"re just impatient.
Some girls are much faster than you.
「 Uuuuu 」
Then, Ai looked down with her blus.h.i.+ng face and fell silent.
◇◇ ◇
「 Okay, we"re here 」
Our vehicle reached Ai"s house.
「 Makoto-san, it"s okay to park here, right? 」
Katsuko-nee asks Makoto-san.
「 Y-Yes, It should be okay 」
Oh, she must be struggling because s.p.a.ce is small.
「 I"ll open up the door now, give me a second 」
Katsuko-nee pulled the handbrake, and then we get out of the car.
I opened up the back of the van.
「 Puhaaa 」
「 Puhaaa 」
「 Haaaaaa 」
Luna, Koyomi-chan, and Makoto-san take a deep breath.
「 That was suffocating. 」
「 But, fun 」
The 12-year-old cousins said.
Makoto-san.
「 There we go. 」
She gets off the car and holds her hips.
I guess it"s hard for someone in their 40"s.
「 Okay, okay, let"s get in 」
「 O-Okay! 」
Nei urged Makoto-san, and she opened up the lock.
「 C-Come in 」
「 E-Excuse me 」
Unlike a few days ago, Makoto-san invites us in now.
Hmm.
「 Ah, I guess the air gets dense if there are no people, even if that"s just for a few days 」
That"s how it feels.
「 Right. Makoto-san likes to keep things clean, so there"s not much dirt around, but… 」
Katsuko-nee looks around.
Makoto-san"s a clean-freak that she wants her house to stay like that.
There"s not a single speck of dust on Ai"s room, for example.
But, let"s open up the windows to let some air in, and we"ll clean up.
「 I"ll help out! 」
「 Me too! 」
The young girls tell Makoto-san.
「 I won"t. I"d prefer not to do any labor right now 」
No, Yukino. n.o.body"s expecting anything from you.
I know how much filth is in Yukino"s room back then.
「 Why not? Yukino-chan can just stay in the living room, drink tea, watch TV or something 」
Nei smiled wryly.
「 Then, should we split it to the first and second floor? 」
Katsuko-nee suggests, then…
「 Auu, e-err, uhm 」
Ai?
Ai looks at Makoto-san…
「 M-Mama. I-I… 」
「 What"s wrong, Ai? 」
She asks her daughter.
「 Ai, C-Can I have s.e.x with Y-Yos.h.i.+dkun? 」
Huh?
「 Ai, I want to show my grat.i.tude to Yos.h.i.+dkun? 」
G-Grat.i.tude?
「 Ai, I can"t think of any other way to thank him other than that 」
T-That"s…
Then, Makoto-san looked at me.
「 Can you look after my daughter? 」
「 Eeeeh? 」
「 She doesn"t know much, but please take care of her 」
She bows her head to me.
「 Why not? Look after her, Dear 」
Katsuko-nee smiled.
「 Right, today, Ai-chan"s the one who"s giving out the reward. You worked hard on her, after all. Yeah, go spoil Yo-chan now 」
Nei said.
「 Nii-san, this is your first time to be alone with Ai-san, right? 」
Huh, Luna?
She"s right, someone else is always with us when I"m having s.e.x with Ai.
This is the first time we"re alone.
「 I think it"s good for Nii-san too 」
Luna said something with hidden meaning.
「 Leave the cleaning to us 」
Koyomi-chan meant that they"ll look after Makoto-san.
「 Hurry up and go already. I don"t think you"ll get this chance where Megumi, Edie, and Hos.h.i.+zaki-senpai are away 」
Yukino"s right.
「 C-Come 」
Ai pulls my s.h.i.+rt.
「 Ah, sure, sorry about not helping out though 」
「 Don"t mind it, just have fun 」
「 Leave this one to us 」
「 Nii-san, take it slow 」
Nei and Katsuko-nee send us off with a bright tone. Ai and I went up to the second floor.
「 Auuu 」
Ai goes up the stairs before me.
Ah.
I see Ai"s white panties under her skirt.
Ai"s thin legs, her thighs, and her round a.s.s.
Ai noticed that and looked at me.
「 Ah, sorry 」
「 I-It"s okay, I showed it 」
Ai said with a blus.h.i.+ng face.
「 M-My reward just started 」
Ai, you"ve been thinking about it in the car.
「 T-Then, t-this will continue for thirty years 」
What?
「 Ah, I"ll make it 50 years 」
Err.
「 O-Okay, 100! A hundred years 」
No, I wasn"t dissatisfied with the first one…
「 I don"t know if I can live until a hundred years, but, I-I"ll do my best as long as I"m alive 」
Ai said, then she swings her a.s.s to show inside her skirt purposefully.
But, she"s clumsy, so she"s moving at an odd rhythm.
She rises up the stairs.
I also follow her in a hurry.
◇◇ ◇
「 Err, s-sit down. 」
As usual, Ai"s room is filled with girlish taste.
Closing down the door, Ai points at the bed.
「 S-sure 」
I sit down on the bed…
Ai, locks the door.
「 Oh, there"s a lock? 」
I"m surprised.
I thought that Makoto-san won"t give Ai"s room a lock as she dotes on her.
「 M-Mama also has a key to Ai"s room 」
Ai said.
「 This lock is for Papa… 」
Oh.
「 To make sure that Papa doesn"t enter Ai"s room 」
Ai isn"t the daughter of Makoto-san"s husband.
Therefore, Makoto-san doesn"t trust him…
Worried that he might attack her daughter, she adds a lock in the room.
The gap between the couple is a trench deep.
「 I"m told to lock up when I enter my room 」
The last time we went in here was when she has no control over her body, and so she didn"t lock up the door.
「 When Papa"s home, Mama"s always watching in the dressing room while Ai takes a bath. That"s how it always been since Ai took baths alone 」
Ai"s father naturally wouldn"t want to stay in this house if he"s doubted that much.
「 Err, auuuu 」
Ai stands in front of me.
「 T-Thank you for the recent days 」
She bows her head to me.
「 No, I didn"t do anything… 」
I mean, I raped her, kidnapped, and forced her to work in the bakery.
That"s nothing but horrible things…
「 B-But still, thank you, Yos.h.i.+dkun 」
Ai said.
「 That"s okay, but what was that 30, 50, 100 years earlier? 」
「 I-It"s about my re..reward for a hundred years…my grat.i.tude 」
Ai speaks while blus.h.i.+ng.
「 But, Ai"s only my s.e.x friend for a year. After a year, we can reconsider our relations.h.i.+p…If you were to find someone else, then you can go to him… 」
Putting the "bread course aside…"
I can"t tie her up…
I"m only giving her a year to become independent.
「 Ai, you need to decide your life for yourself. That also means doing things yourself 」
I said. Ai;
「 B-But 」
She looks at me. Trembling.
「 Y-Yos.h.i.+dkun, you don"t want Ai to have s.e.x with other men, right? 」
That"s…
「 But, if Ai chooses it, I"ll accept that 」
I said. Ai…
「 T-That"s a lie… 」
Huh?
「 Y-Yos.h.i.+dkun, if I were to do it with someone else, you"ll cry 」
I"ll cry, what?
「 Ai, I don"t want to see Yos.h.i.+dkun cry because of me 」
She looks at me.
「 Therefore, for a hundred years…no, for as long as I"m alive, Ai will have s.e.x with only Yos.h.i.+dkun 」
Then.
「 Err, what do we do? What kind of s.e.x shall we do? 」
Ai"s eyes are moist.
「 Ai, which do you prefer? 」
「 M-Me? Hmmm, I like… 」
She leaks out a hot sigh.
「 Anything, teach Ai what Yos.h.i.+dkun wants 」
Then, she drops off her skirt.
Ai"s cute panty shows itself before me.
「 Teach me a lot, Ai will do her best learning them all 」
Ai!
「 Ai…will surely…surely get better in s.e.x! 」
