"Sure."
"Why not?"
When the night came, they talked about the study group they planned to do on the weekend with Reina and Akatsuki. As expected, Mineaki, his father, and Yuni, his stepmother, agreed without hesitation.
"But you are going to stay with so many girls, Mizuto-kun." Yuni looked at Mizuto and asked, "Are you going to be okay?"
"What is going to happen to me?" Mizuto looked at Yuni in confusion.
Yuni was speechless by Mizuto's reaction. "They are all Yume's friends, right? Are you going to be all right to be surrounded by so many girls? After all, you are the only young man there."
"It should be, okay? I know them."
"Ah, really? I thought that they were Yume's friends."
"Well, they are also my friends."
"Only friends? You don't like them?" Yuni asked curiously with a teasing tone.
Still, this question made Yume dumbfounded, and they glanced in Mizuto's direction secretly.
Mizuto felt weird somehow, but he asked, "Do you want me to have a relationship with them?"
"Why did you use "them"? You should use "she," right?"
"It's because you used "them" when you asked me a question before, Yuni-san."
"....."
Yuni's lips twitched, and her stepson was so slippery that she couldn't catch him.
"But we don't have such a relationship. I don't have an interest in such a relationship now."
"Really? You don't have it now?"
"I can't say for sure, but is it something important? I am still young anyway. There is no need to be in a hurry, right?"
"Well, that's true..."
Anyway, Mizuto was still a high school student, so there was no need for him to be in a hurry. If he wished for it, he could also get his love when he was in the university.
"By the way, are you busy with your work, Mizuto?" Mineaki asked.
"Not really. I want to slow down my business since the placement exam is nearby."
"But you work so hard; besides the motorcycle, is there something that you want to buy?"
They thought that when Mizuto finished his driving school, he would stay at home, but unexpectedly, he often went out for quite a while yesterday for work, so they couldn't help wondering why he wished to work so hard.
Was it because of their marriage?
While Mizuto had never said anything or even had a good relationship with them, they wondered whether he wanted to be independent as soon as possible, so he decided to work, but his answer made them dumbfounded.
"Parking lot."
"...what?"
"I want to buy a parking lot."
"...." 2x
Watching the reaction of her parents, Yume sighed and also understood their feelings, especially since she had seen Mizuto's parking lot. However, what they didn't know was that he had bought it already, but he made it seem like he was about to buy it, which gave preparation for their parents to accept what he was doing.
Nevertheless, there was no doubt since they didn't expect their son (stepson) was going to buy a parking lot.
Naturally, there were many questions, but all of them were answered by Mizuto, who also told them about the potential of the parking lot, even the future income.
"..." 2x
"If you need help, tell me, okay?" Mineaki felt like his son was going to grow into a wealthy person in the future. Still, for Mizuto's ambition to buy a parking lot, he didn't feel that it was a bad idea since he also felt tempted, considering there weren't many things that one had to do and how everything was automatic.
"Yes, if there is something that you need us to help you, don't hesitate." Yuni also agreed to help Mizuto while thinking that he was a perfect husband candidate as he could give peace of mind and safety to his woman. Looking at Yume, who was staring at him with a proud expression, she sighed helplessly, but she had expressed her support, so there was no need to hesitate.
"Yes."
Mizuto felt speechless since he didn't expect that his talk would even tempt his parents to become his investors so he could become a parking lot tycoon. Still, he didn't lie since the potential income of the parking lot was enormous; considering how many tourists and people were living in this city, even if they didn't do anything, money would come in their direction.
Even if the parking lot didn't make much money, it was a stable investment as its value wouldn't decrease much, and its value might increase even further in the future.
Still, even though he was a high school student, there was no doubt they could imagine him becoming an elite businessman in the future.

"Say."
"Hmm?"
"Do I just need to lay on your bed like this?"
"That alone is enough. You are so charming, Yume."
Yume blushed and felt even shyer. "It's a bit hard to maintain this position, though, so can you hurry a bit?"
"Be patient. I will take care of you after this."
"That's not what I mean!"
Watching him, who thought that she wished to do something perverted, Yume pouted, wondering why he had always thought of her as a perverted girl. While she might often say that he was also perverted, he didn't really mind, which made the taste of revenge wasn't as good as she thought. Still, her body became hot as she felt his eyes on her entire body. She felt shy and wanted to hide her body, but—
"Don't hide them. You are beautiful, Yume. Let me see more."
Yume's lips quivered, feeling helpless as she let him see her entire body, which was practically naked, leaving only part of her white, fleshy legs, which were wrapped in a black lace garter belt.
Nevertheless, Mizuto wondered whether this was love. It was said that Picasso got his inspiration for his paintings from all the women that he had ever been with.
Mizuto might not understand love, but when he saw Yume's well-shaped, plump legs that were tightly wrapped in a garter belt, he wished to be able to capture those legs perfectly in his sketch. He felt like Leonardo Da Vinci, who wished to capture the hands of the Mona Lisa in his painting. However, in his case, it was legs instead of hands. Nevertheless, he felt like an inspiration sparked in his brain, and he felt like he could get better and better with his painting. It was like his hand was a living being moving on its own, capturing every detail on her legs in his sketch.
'Picasso! Da Vinci! Monet! Wait for a while, I will defeat you soon!'
Mizuto thought as he drew Yume's legs.
"I have never heard of it before, but why did you suddenly have an interest in a painting?" Yume suddenly asked.
"Is it bad?"
"It's not bad, but..."
"But?"
"...nothing."
Yume couldn't understand her feelings well, but she just wished to be with him, and if he got better and better, she felt like he might leave her somehow. If so, then how could she be with him forever?
With that thought, her eyes moved into his nether region, which clearly showed his erection.
Yume gulped, and she knew what to do but needed a perfect time for it.
"Stop thinking about something perverted."
"I-I am not!"
Yume couldn't make much of an argument, but then she asked with a lewd smile, "But don't you think a perverted thing too, Mizuto?"
"...." Mizuto.
"Pervert~!"
Still, somewhere in Tokyo, in a dim space within an office room, a beautiful woman in her navy suit looked at the manuscripts sent by many as she felt helpless with how unbearable the story that was written, and she wondered whether she wouldn't be able to find a treasure among those stories.
Sonoko Machida rubbed her shoulders, feeling exhausted as she spent all of her time at work, which also made her wonder whether she could find a man who could take care of her.
When she thought about giving up, thinking that sleeping late wasn't good for her skin, especially for a woman her age, her eyes suddenly fixed on a certain email sent by a new author.
"Your Saturn? Planet?"
The woman raised her eyebrow, feeling a bit weird as this wasn't an "Isekai" type of novel, and somehow, it had the same vibe as her favorite author that she took care of.
"I wonder whether it is like Shi-chan's novel."
Still, when she thought about her novel, she sighed, shaking her head, then started to read it before she was blown away.
