Since Haruto wasn't sure what kind of event Asuka had invited him to, he chose a semi-casual outfit, hoping to strike the right balance.
A black sweater beneath a gray plaid blazer, slim-fit black trousers, and glossy black boots completed his look.
He also uses the potion from the system shop called 'Masking To Perfection' to hide his bruises and flaws because of his fight in the Dog Cage.
That potion makes his face and body flawless, though it only lasts for 48 hours.
As he straightened his jacket, he couldn't help but wonder if he had overdone it—he didn't want to come off as trying too hard.
'Now, how to put a leash on her,' he mused while walking toward the building where the event was being held.
The bracelet from Chiyo's quest had been on his mind all day.
A clever tool—it could heighten a target's obsession while lowering their mental resistance, eventually making them consumed by thoughts of him.
But there were limitations: once the wearer's obsession and emotional bond were maxed, or after two weeks, the bracelet would disappear.
There'd be no second chances with another target.
A faint smile played on his lips as he entered the ivory hotel building. A staff member greeted him and directed him to the hall.
Upon entering, Haruto felt the weight of multiple gazes fall upon him. Their eyes were full of interest, then the notification could be heard from the system:
['Charm of Seduction' skill automatically activated!]
[The skill will be boosted based on the host level.]
[The Host Charm and Seduction points would be increased by 15%, amplifying potential targets' interest with the host.]
[ERS would decrease by 5 every minute.]
Now, Haruto becomes like a candy in front of a bunch of ants, making him confident but also uncomfortable.
The guests, mostly couples, sat around elegantly set tables, sipping tea and engaging in quiet conversation.
Feeling out of place, he scanned the room, searching for Asuka. His discomfort mounted as he stood near the doorway, unsure of what to do.
Just then, a warm hand slipped around his arm. "Took you long enough," Asuka teased, appearing at his side with her usual confident smile.
Haruto gave a small, apologetic shrug. "Sorry, I wasn't sure about the dress code," he admitted, his voice light but cautious.
Asuka chuckled, her laughter was soft but playful. "Your honesty is refreshing. And your style isn't bad at all."
She led him to a table where two women were already seated. A butler quietly poured tea into delicate cups while various desserts adorned the table.
Although it seemed like an ordinary tea party, there was something weird about it, something that Haruto couldn't point out.
"You finally brought a new sweet, Anmitsu! What's his name?" one of the seated women asked, her voice smooth and teasing.
She had long black hair styled in a hime cut, her outfit revealing a tube dress that accentuated her curvaceous figure, with a sexy C-cup breast and wide waist, she looked so charming in it.
The woman beside her, nearly identical in form but with striking white hair, sat quietly, observing.
Their appearance left no doubt—they were twins.
"This is Azuki," Asuka replied with a laugh, continuing the playful charade.
"Fresh as this season's batch of dessert."
Haruto realized that "dessert" was a playful cover, and now he had been given the name "Azuki."
The two women exchanged smirks, clearly intrigued, and offered him flirtatious winks as he and Asuka sat down.
"Ahh, fresh-baked desserts are always the sweetest," the black-haired twin cooed, her lips curving into an amused smile.
"You can call me Zenzai, and this is my twin, Shiruko."
Zenzai extended her hand toward Haruto, her eyes twinkling with mischief.
Without hesitation, Haruto smiled and took her hand, lifting it gently to his lips.
His gaze never wavered from hers as he placed a soft kiss on her knuckles, his expression confident yet courteous.
"Aww, how sweet," Zenzai giggled, placing her free hand on her cheek, clearly enjoying the attention.
Shiruko, on the other hand, simply nodded in acknowledgment, her reserved demeanor in contrast to her sister's.
With a clap, Asuka brought their attention back to her. "Shall we begin our tea party?" she announced, lifting her cup to her lips.
The twins followed suit, sipping their tea with quiet elegance.
Haruto stared at the tea in front of him, noticing its murky appearance. Something about it seemed off as if an unknown ingredient had been added.
Still, he knew it would be impolite not to drink, so he lifted the cup and took a cautious sip.
The tea had a bitter edge, but it was balanced by the sweetness of the desserts on the table, creating a strange harmony.
Zenzai, watching him closely, plucked a small cake from the platter and bit into it, her gaze never leaving his face.
"Azuki, how old are you?" she asked, her voice light but probing.
Haruto hesitated, glancing at Asuka for guidance. He knew that events like this, where fake names were used, often had unspoken rules about keeping personal details vague.
Asuka gave him a subtle nod, signaling it was safe to answer.
"I'm eighteen," he replied, keeping his tone neutral.
Zenzai's eyes gleamed with amusement as she tightened her grip on his hand.
"Eighteen? Perfect—just ripe for picking."
Her voice dripped with innuendo as her fingers traced lightly over his knuckles. "Tell me, Azuki, do you like older women?"
Haruto chuckled softly, leaning back slightly in his chair. "Mature women are like fine wine—who wouldn't appreciate their richness?" He flashed a playful smirk, meeting her teasing gaze head-on.
Zenzai laughed, clearly entertained. "Your sweet here is quite charming, Anmitsu. I like him."
Her hand moved over his, her fingers brushing against his wrist in a deliberately mischievous manner.
The conversation quickly turned more intimate, with Zenzai and Shiruko peppering him with personal questions
"Are you a virgin?"
"How many women have you slept with?"
The more he spoke, the stranger he felt, as if his mind was drifting into a fog.
Everything around him seemed distant, his thoughts clouded, but one feeling was clear—an overwhelming, relentless horniness.
'What the hell happening, why can't I focus? Damn, my cock hard.''
His hand instinctively moved to Asuka's thigh, his fingers inching dangerously close to her crotch.
She caught his wrist with a teasing smile, her voice low and playful.
"You're being quite naughty," she murmured, amusement dancing in her eyes as she held his hand firmly.
Before he realized it, Asuka's lips were on his, her mouth sweet from the dessert she had just eaten.
Haruto groaned into the kiss, his body pressing closer as his tongue sought hers, craving more of her taste.
"Asuka…" he murmured, half pleading, his voice heavy with lust. "Touch me…"
She laughed softly against his lips, her breath warm. "Shh, you bad boy. You can't use my name here," she whispered, her tone playful but firm.
Her hand slipped down between his legs, finding his arousal and stroking it through his trousers with deliberate slowness.
Haruto's breath hitched as pleasure coursed through him, his mind drowning in desire.
Across the table, Zenzai and Shiruko exchanged amused glances, their lips curving into identical smirks.
"Why don't we continue this in a more comfortable place?" Shiruko suggested, her voice smooth as silk.
Without further discussion, they rose from the table and made their way to one of the private rooms in the hotel, as they lay Haruto on the bed.
Their eyes were glinting like a predator looking at their prey.
