"What did you cook?"
Shishio and Nanami were in the kitchen on Sakurasou.
Kawai Ritsu and Mayumi Nishikino looked at the two curiously in the kitchen, wondering what kind of foods they cooked. They knew his cooking skill well, so their mouths were quite watery.
"Bear."
"...."
"...Seriously?"
"Seriously."
Mayumi somehow didn't believe it and approached them, looking curiously at the meat on the table. Her nose twitched slightly, wondering whether this was bear meat, but she had never tasted it nor seen it, so she wasn't sure whether it was one or not.
"Really? But the smell of the bear is quite smelly, right?"
Out of nowhere, Watanabe Sayaka looked at the meat curiously, wondering why it was different from the one she had eaten in the past.
"You have eaten one before, Sayaka?" Mayumi asked.
"Well, yeah, in my hometown, there are a lot of bears."
Sayaka was living in a small town near the countryside, where the beasts still existed and lived in the nearby forest. Still, if she was going out with her clique, the people she knew through the club, or went out with the men she usually deceived, she wouldn't say that she was living in the countryside and would only say that she was coming from Tokyo.
However, the people on the Sakurasou were different since even if they knew her real appearance without make-up or knew she was living in the countryside, they might not think too much.
"Huh? Isn't that dangerous?" Mayumi was dumbfounded.
"Not really." Sayaka made a gesture like she was holding a shotgun and said, "We have a firearm there."
"Heh? Really?"
Somehow Sayaka and Mayumi started to have a girl's talk.
However, they couldn't be blamed since the only place on the Sakurasou with an air conditioner was only Shishio's room and the living room. This situation might be strange, but this was a habit of the people in this country. It wasn't that they couldn't afford the air conditioner, but they had never relied much on the air conditioner when the temperature was hot or warmer when the temperature was cold.
They only used their blankets and lived like that.
Still, in the afternoon, when the sun was at its peak, and the temperature was at its highest, they all stayed in the living room. They also had nothing to do during the summer vacation, so they gathered in the living room, waiting for the food cooked by Shishio to be ready.
Most members of the Sakurasou were in the living room, except for Shiina and Roberta, since they were in his apartment now. The two had a low heat tolerance and stayed there.
Even Ryuunosuke and Chihiro were there.
While Ryuunosuke was with his laptop, as usual, Chihiro chugged her beer lazily in her pajamas, seemingly having just woken up.
Shishio glanced at Chihiro and thought having a child might make her more diligent. After all, watching her waste his days like this was quite unbearable for him.
On the other hand, Misaki was more diligent since she was drawing in the living room, seemingly, trying to do her job or something.
Their project had finished, and the result was amazing.
Because of this, Misaki even became famous in the anime industry.
Shishio also used this opportunity to start his online video-sharing website by uploading his anime with Misaki on the website, giving it a boost in popularity. The progress of this website was good, and he knew that it might be some time before its popularity would spread everywhere.
However, the one from the United States had monopolized the search engine, so it might be hard for him to make this video-sharing website to become the most popular one. Fortunately, he had many shares in this search engine company.
If he wanted it to grow even further, he had to wait for the era of the smartphone.
Yet he must admit that managing all of his businesses was troublesome.
If the system didn't give him many unique skills, he might as well hold the few shares in his investment group.
"Bear? I have heard that it is a good aphrodisiac, right?"
Suddenly, Shiro-san, who had been treated as an air, chirped.
His thought was broken, and he was lost for words.
"....."
The air solidified, and no one sounded their voices. They were all staring at Shishio with dumbfounded expressions.
Shishio was speechless and said, "The aphrodisiac is the only paw area. The rest of the meat isn't that much different from beef or chicken."
"Then, where is the paw?" Mayumi asked curiously.
"Why do you want that? You don't have a partner, right?" Shishio was confused.
"..."
"Shishio!"
Mayumi was in a rage. She leaped into him and grabbed his head, trying to mess it up.
Still, Shishio glanced at Mayumi slightly and wondered whether she had gotten fatter, but it was better to shut his mouth. After all, the topic of weight was something taboo among women. It was definitely impossible for him to say this woman was fat unless someone mentioned it.
On the other hand, Mayumi also stopped her movement and sniffed his hair since it smelled nice.
'Damn, why am I getting horny?'
Mayumi realized that it had been a while since she had gotten laid, and it was impossible to say that she didn't have an urge. However, she didn't have a partner and hadn't found a nice man. She also wasn't a slut who would open he legs everywhere.
Yet it was something inevitable. She was living in this country where people were living for work and not working for a living.
Her opportunity to meet new people was limited.
If she wanted to know new people, she had to know them through her acquaintances, especially through her coworker.
However, even her friends were single, and it was impossible for them to introduce her to a good man.
As for her coworker, she didn't have any interest.
When she thought about it, the only male around her was only Shiro-san, Ryuunosuke, and Shishio.
In the past, there were Sorata and Mitaka, but she had forgotten about them since it was one of the policies of the Sakurasou that the people who had decided to move wouldn't be able to enter.
It was also the reason why no one mentioned Sorata and Mitaka anymore. Even if the two wanted to return, it was already impossible.
Yet while she put Ryuunosuke and Shiro-san aside, she was "very" interested in Shishio.
While this guy was a bastard and a scumbag like Mitaka, Shishio was several times better than Mitaka.
Mayumi had often dragged Nanami to her room from time to time, talking about him and what they usually did, and she would be lying if she wasn't tempted by him. Even if she was only his mistress, she felt it was okay. After all, when she thought about what had happened to Nanami, she couldn't help but feel envious.
The first thing was Nanami's career, which was so smooth.
Mayumi was an adult, and she knew how dirty this world was. If Nanami didn't have Shishio's support, she might only be able to support her life by working a part-time job and was unable to become a popular Seiyuu.
While Mayumi didn't think Nanami would fail, she knew that Nanami might need a long time.
Three years, five years, or even a decade?
Mayumi wasn't sure, but it was tough to work as a "Seiyuu" unless one had an opportunity.
As for the opportunity, she knew that those who worked in the entertainment industry knew well what they had to do to become popular.
In other words, they had to give a little sacrifice.
As for what that sacrifice was, there was no need to say it, right?
The second was her nightlife with Shishio.
Mayumi wasn't stupid, and she knew that Nanami had a face of a woman. She could see how much Nanami was in love with Shishio, and Nanami would do what he asked. She was also like that during high school, but she wasn't as generous as Nanami and broke up with her boyfriend immediately.
Still, if that boyfriend was Shishio, Mayumi might fight with the one he cheated on her instead of breaking up with him since he was a legendary item among all the men.
Mayumi, who was mature, even blushed when she recalled what Nanami told her when they stayed together. After all, he was so fierce that Nanami even passed out after she was at the peak of ecstasy.
Mayumi had never passed out, and frankly, the feeling of sex was just like that, so she was quite curious about his difference from the others.
Lastly, Mayumi must admit that he was her type.
This might be the most important thing since, like a man who is interested in a beautiful woman, a woman is also interested in a handsome man.
Still, Shishio realized the subtleness of Mayumi. After all, her hands, which were held on his head, were quite gentle, and she also strangely pressed the back of his head against her large breasts. Her smell had also changed and had become the smell of a bitch in heat.
However, while he realized the change in Mayumi, the rest also noticed them, especially Chihiro, Nanami, Sayaka, and even Misaki. They frowned and wanted to say something, but Sayaka beat them first.
"Mayumi-san, have you gotten fatter?"
Sayaka pulled Mayumi's flabby stomach with shock.
"..."
"Sayaka!"
Mayumi roared and started to chase after Sayaka.
"Oh, I dropped the spoon."
Nanami suddenly said and squatted down to pick up the spoon.
Shishio didn't say anything and only looked at Mayumi and Sayaka, fighting each other and rolling in the living room like they were female gladiators. However, suddenly he felt a hand on his crotch. He was dumbfounded and glanced at Nanami, who seemed to be nonchalant, trying to search for something on the ground, yet the truth, she was tempting him.
Fortunately, they were the only people in the kitchen, and it was hard for them to see anything from their position since they were covered by the kitchen table.
When Nanami noticed his gaze, she smiled innocently.
"....."
Shishio realized that he might not punish this girl enough.
