"Well, what can I say... An incredible child has appeared."
As Marika Mitara finished her call with the Minister of Defense and took a breath, the bespectacled woman, Sato Mei, paused her typing and spoke up.
"Indeed. While Souma-kun is amazing, his mother being Tomoe-sama makes it somewhat understandable."
"Tomoe-sama is the head of the Aoi family, right? Is there a reason for that?"
"Ah, I see. People of your generation wouldn't know. But you've heard of the girl called the 'One-Woman Army,' right?"
"Eh... Isn't that just a story?"
"It's a fact."
"But... A fourteen-year-old girl single-handedly reclaiming the Boso Peninsula? That sounds..."
"Yes, it's quite unbelievable. But she did it. It's like something out of a third-rate movie."
"Ha, ha..."
"The return of Tokyo as the capital is often attributed to me, but it was Tomoe-kun reclaiming half of Chiba that made it possible."
"Your military record is impressive, but it's hard for me to imagine something on that scale... Wait, isn't the Aoi bloodline known for C-class healing abilities?"
"Tomoe-sama is indeed a healer, but she's so exceptional that she's rated A-class."
"Ah, I see. That does make sense for a mother and son. I'm not sure if exceptional traits are hereditary, though... But if that's true, isn't it strange that Tomoe-sama name isn't mentioned anywhere in history?"
"Well, she was a bit unconventional. There's still debate on whether to officially recognize her actions. It's been twenty years since then."
Time flies so quickly.
After murmuring this, Marika Mitara began to tell Sato Mei about the prodigy who had appeared like a comet in the special forces composed solely of Transcenders, exactly twenty years ago.

Tomoe and her housekeeper, Kouzuki Mie, were still in a daze after returning to the Aoi family residence. It was as if they had been told that all the lottery tickets they bought were first-prize winners.
Souma himself had been in a daze until he returned, but he had regained his composure. His hunger had not allowed him to remain distracted. It was better than wasting time aimlessly.
Thanks to Kouzuki arrangements, meals for two were prepared, and Souma began to eat with his mother. Tomoe, who had never had a proper conversation with him before, was at a loss for words. The feel of his hand in the car, his behavior at the Ability Development Bureau—every memory made her heart race and her appetite disappear.
On the other hand, Souma was eagerly eating. Before regaining his memories from his past life, Souma had been a picky eater, always leaving food on his plate. Now, he wanted to fill his stomach, even if it meant forcing himself. He believed that building his strength was crucial for his future plans to actively engage with multiple women.
Tomoe found the sight of her son eagerly eating to be refreshing. It wasn't elegant, but she felt an urge to cheer him on. She had never realized how endearing and exciting it was to see a boy trying so hard.
In the end, Tomoe couldn't bring herself to say a word to Souma until he finished eating.
"Mother, I'm tired, so I'll rest in my room."
"Ah... I'm sorry, Souma-kun. Please, get some rest."
"You too, Mother. Don't overexert yourself. Goodnight."
"Oh, Souma..."
Even with just that one considerate remark, Tomoe felt content. As Souma left the living room, he knew there was nothing he could do until he heard from the government about how they planned to handle him. He was genuinely tired and wanted to think about the unexpected results.
Souma headed to his room, analyzing his current situation. According to the central system "Nadeshiko," the key to unlocking Souma's supernatural abilities was "communication with others." If that advice was true, he should continue with his planned "service activities."
There was a risk of being treated as a human guinea pig, disregarding his human rights, but Souma believed that was unlikely. It had been proven that the male birth rate increased with consensual "loving sex." Conversely, policies that forced men to have sex with women using drugs had the opposite effect.
Therefore, it was unlikely that he would be kidnapped and experimented on like a lab rat. Souma had no recollection of encountering a man who was excessively promiscuous in this world. Thus, he wanted to introduce the concept of a "carnivorous man" and spread his seed as soon as possible.
Feeling somewhat optimistic, Souma opened the door to his room and found that Kouzuki Mie had already laid out his futon.
"Thank you, Kouzuki-san."
"No, it's my pleasure."
Seeing her bow deeply near the door, Souma remembered Nadeshiko's advice about the importance of communication. Perhaps he could act on it now.
"Kouzuki-san, do you have any plans for the rest of the day?"
"No, I'm at your disposal, Souma-sama."
"Then, could you stay by my side today?"
"Of course. I'll stay by your side until you wake up."
Kouzuki Mie was delighted by his request. Officially, she was a housekeeper, but her true role was as Souma's bodyguard. The Aoi family employed powerful Transcenders as live-in housekeepers, but the current situation with the government was uncertain. Staying close to her charge was crucial.
"Kouzuki-san... What will become of me?"
"Souma-sama..."
Souma's voice, filled with anxiety, made Kouzuki Mie startled. She understood the weight of being a male with S-class abilities. It was a tremendous responsibility for a fourteen-year-old boy. Her protective instincts were stirred as she imagined Souma's future.
"I... I will protect you, Souma-sama, no matter what!"
"Kouzuki-san... I have a request."
"Yes, anything."
"Could you... stay with me tonight? Just to sleep together..."
"Sleep together!? You mean, sleep together?"
"I can only ask this of you, Kouzuki-san, since you're always by my side. Please, only if you're comfortable with it."
"I humbly accept! I will fulfill your request!"
Souma suppressed a laugh at her enthusiastic response. He gently spoke to the bowing Kouzuki Mie.
"Kouzuki-san, if you're that energetic, I won't be able to sleep."
"Ah, I'll calm down...!"
"Thank you. I feel a bit better now."
"An angel..."
Kouzuki Mie couldn't help but murmur her true feelings. Even if there were no gods in this world, there were angels. The sight of Souma's gentle smile convinced her that he was an angel. She believed it with all her heart. Perhaps this was a dream, but she had no intention of confirming it. If it was a dream, she never wanted to wake up.

If one were to describe Kouzuki mie, "a hardworking person" would suffice. Born in a general area, her dream was to meet a wonderful man, a common aspiration among women in her community. The general area was an entirely female society. If a woman became pregnant with a boy, her family would temporarily move to the "male protection area" for nurturing. Thus, the only chance for women in this area to interact with men was during the "social service" periods.
Most men during these periods were only interested in making money and often treated the women with disdain or indifference. Therefore, women in the general area dreamed of meeting a wonderful man.
Kouzuki mie life changed when she had her first period and was examined. She was found to be a Transcender. She and her mother rejoiced, hoping that she was at least E-class, which would allow her to work in the "cohabitation special zone" or the "male protection area." If she were F-class, her dreams would be shattered.
They were overjoyed to learn that she was D-class, but the examiner regretfully informed them that she was just shy of B-class. This ignited a fire within Kouzuki Mie. She refused to let her life be defined by "almost." She decided to give it her all.
Her awakened ability was to manipulate water. While it could be useful in combat depending on precision and power, her abilities were deemed insufficient for battle but suitable for daily life. Determined to improve, Kouzuki Mie dedicated herself to training, neglecting her studies. Her mother warned her against setting her hopes too high, but Kouzuki mie resolve only grew stronger.
She failed the practical exam for the elite anti-Cranz special forces, the "Samurai," twice. Undeterred, she continued her rigorous training and finally succeeded on her third attempt at the age of sixteen. She was the first D-class to join the Samurai, an unprecedented achievement.
Her dedication impressed her superiors and fellow soldiers. She became known as "Indomitable" for her unyielding spirit. As her term of service neared its end, she looked forward to becoming a "Guardian," a bodyguard for men in the male protection area or the cohabitation special zone. This was the golden path for women, offering the chance to meet and fall in love with a high-status man.
Kouzuki received numerous offers from men but struggled to maintain her contracts. Her lack of femininity and single-minded focus on training made her intimidating to men. She began to doubt her life's efforts, wondering if she had made a mistake.
Just as she was on the verge of despair, she received a message from the head of the Aoi family, Tomoe Aoi. Tomoe offered her a position as a live-in housekeeper and bodyguard for her son. Seeing Souma's photo, Kouzuki Mie was struck by his beauty and accepted the offer without hesitation.
For the past two years, she had served Souma loyally, finding happiness in his acceptance.

"Ah, Souma-sama..."
This must be a dream. Being naked together under the blankets, having her nipples sucked and caressed, was something she had never experienced. The pleasure was overwhelming, especially knowing that Souma was the one giving it to her.
"Ah! Oh, ah... ah..."
Her breathing grew heavier, and moans escaped her lips. She couldn't remember how they ended up naked and in bed together, but she knew that this moment was what she had lived for.
"Souma-sama, I... I want to do something for you too..."
Souma looked up from her breasts, his face slightly flushed. "I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable since my first ejaculation. Could you clean me with your mouth?"
Kouzuki Mie was excited and nervous, understanding his request. She moved down cautiously, not wanting to make a mistake. Suddenly, Souma pulled her into a deep kiss, their tongues entwining. Her womb ached with desire, and she knew she was wet with arousal. She rubbed her thighs together, savoring the taste of his mouth.
