Grayfia continues Tohru's rigorous maid training, pushing her to her limits. Meanwhile, Eiji drops Mahiru off at school and then receives a call from Ichika, who asks for his help with supposed "equipment" in Roppongi. This leads to Eiji and Ichika having a date at a fancy restaurant.

However, she quickly calmed down. Come to think of it, Eiji already knew she was seducing him.

He knew it clearly in his heart.

There was no point in pretending.

Ichika boldly leaned her face forward; she and Eiji were only a few centimeters apart. "That’s right, Eiji-kun. I think I’ve fallen in love with you."

"Ichika, you..."

Eiji looked surprised.

Ichika resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

You obviously already knew!

Why are you surprised?

Keep pretending, just keep pretending!

"Maybe it’s just a feeling you’ve misinterpreted, Ichika. For example, a sense of gratitude because I’ve helped you and your sisters a few times before." Eiji stroked his chin, a look of doubt on his face.

"Huh?"

Ichika wondered why this man didn’t just accept her love right away? Instead, he thought she had misunderstood her own feelings.

She sat back down, looking a little pouty.

[In this situation, I wonder how Ichika will convince me that she truly loves me.]

Eiji’s inner voice was heard.

While the other heroines remained silent, Ichika finally understood what the man in front of her was doing.

He was playing hard to get!

Ichika’s lips twitched. If it were any other guy, she might have given in right away. But since it was Eiji—who had even gone on a date with one of her sisters (Nino)—and she knew he had a harem...

The rising young actress did something that would make her male fans jealous.

She took off her outer robe. She sat down on the same sofa as Eiji, closing the distance between them until their shoulders touched.

’Hoh?’ Eiji was taken aback by her actions, but he knew she wasn’t done yet.

Ichika shifted her position slightly, causing her form-fitting knit dress to ride up a bit, exposing her beautiful curves, including the cleavage of her breasts. With a seemingly accidental movement, she rested her head on Eiji’s broad shoulder, letting the sweet scent of her hair perfume waft into his nostrils.

From Eiji’s perspective, he could take in the beautiful sight while also breathing in Ichika’s sweet scent.

90 points!

That was the score Eiji gave Ichika’s flirtation. After all, what man wouldn’t love a beautiful woman who’s proactive and likes to flirt with you through physical contact?

He wasn’t one of them!

[That’s because you’re a pervert, host.]

Miss System, you lack culture.

"You know, Eiji-kun... my shooting schedule has been really packed lately. I often feel tired and lonely." Ichika began speaking in a deliberately soft voice, pretending to be a fragile woman in need of protection. "But strangely enough, every time I think of you, that tiredness goes away. Especially now that I can lean on you like this... I don’t even want to go back to my apartment."

Eiji’s lips twitched.

[Nino, don’t blame me. Ichika seduced me first.]

Nino: Hey, you’re also to blame for not having better self-control! Eiji, you’re shameless.

What Nino said wasn’t wrong. That’s because right now, Eiji even has his arm wrapped around Ichika’s waist and is holding her soft stomach.

Feeling that man’s touch, Ichika’s cheeks flushed again. But she didn’t try to pull away from him. The young actress let a man take advantage of her.

At school.

Futaro once again felt a dull ache in his heart; he didn’t realize that one of the green hats was becoming increasingly visible on his head.

He had trouble studying because of it.

"So that’s how it is... Ichika, just like me. It seems you love me, too." Eiji unabashedly returned the woman’s romantic feelings.

From the very beginning, there was no way he could refuse.

Ichika looked up at Eiji’s handsome face and smiled happily. "Is that true? Eiji, do you love me too? Or are you just lusting after me?"

Most other men might hesitate and choose the first option, but Eiji answered without hesitation. "I love you, and I’m also lusting after you. You’re so beautiful, Ichika. How could any man not be lusting after you?"

Miss System: This guy is good at using logic to make his words sound a little better.

Leme: Hehehe. Well said, our King! A Harem King shouldn’t be ashamed to admit he’s lusting after a woman!

Ichika giggled.

"Eiji, you’re shameless. But I like that about you."

"It seems we’re a perfect match, Ichika."

Eiji gazed at Ichika’s beautiful face with desire in his eyes. He pulled her slender body closer and kissed her luscious lips.

"!" Ichika was startled, but she quickly closed her eyes and even parted her lips. She let him kiss her deeply, their tongues and saliva intertwining.

Since it was a VIP room, they didn’t have to worry about other customers seeing them.

So before long, just like a scene from a romantic drama, The two of them grew wilder.

Eiji pulled Ichika onto his lap; he kept kissing her while hugging her and squeezing her butt.

"Mmm... Ah, Eiji..."

A sweet moan escaped Ichika’s lips as she wrapped her slender arms around his neck. She continued to respond to Eiji’s passionate kisses with a feeling of happiness welling up in her heart.

She apologized to Nino in her heart.

At that moment, she began to lose herself in the sensation of the kiss and found herself wanting this man more and more.

For an hour.

Not just kissing, they touched each other intimately. Ichika even took the initiative to kneel under the table and unbuckle Eiji’s belt.

"Ichika, you seem even more impatient than I am."

As Eiji said that, his erect penis had already slipped out of his pants.

Ichika gripped the shaft in front of her with a look of amazement; she naturally caught its scent and felt a little drunk.

"Nino once bragged about how delicious your penis is, Eiji-kun. I’ve been curious about what it tastes like for a long time. Let me taste it, okay?"

There was no way that question would get a "no" for an answer!

Eiji gave a faint smile and said, "As my woman, of course you can taste it."

"Thanks~" Ichika’s wordplay didn’t help—it would make any man even more aroused.

Eiji was no exception.

Under Ichika’s tongue, his penis stood erect.

"Slurp, slurp... Oh... Nino wasn’t lying... This feeling... I like it, too." Ichika said with a lecherous expression, greedily licking every inch of Eiji’s penis and coating it with her saliva.

His male fans out there will be crying with envy!

Who is that incredibly lucky guy?

How did he manage to make Ichika so proactive in serving him!?

Eiji held Ichika’s head, ruffling her bright pink hair. He let out a look of pleasure every time her tongue glided over the surface of his penis.

Ichika was turned on by the look on the man’s face; she didn’t hesitate to take his penis into her mouth to give him as much pleasure as possible.

"Ichika, I’m going to cum in your mouth." Eiji said as he pushed Ichika’s head toward his crotch.

"Mnnnng! (Go ahead, cum in my mouth, Eiji-kun!)" Ichika fought back the urge to gag and rolled her eyes upward. She could feel Eiji’s penis reaching the back of her throat.

The scene was steamy.

*Splurt! Splurt! Splurt!*

Shot after shot of cum was released into Ichika’s mouth. Because Eiji’s shots were so numerous, Ichika’s cheeks even puffed out.

She choked, but tried to swallow even though her throat was blocked by Eiji’s huge penis.

A few moments later.

"Cough! Cough! Ah..." Ichika pulled Eiji’s penis out of her mouth and coughed a little.

However, she managed to swallow all the semen she had let out earlier.

"You did well, Ichika." Eiji praised the beautiful woman and gently stroked her head. "Did you like the taste of my sperm?"

Ichika narrowed her eyes like a cat before answering in a slightly hoarse voice, "I like it—it’s delicious, like strawberry yogurt."

[Should I give you a new flavor, host?]

"Miss System, do it."

Miss System didn’t expect her host to take her joke seriously.

After they finished doing naughty things in the restaurant’s VIP room—and no, they didn’t have sex right away. Eiji wanted to do that, but Ichika told him it wouldn’t be fair to Nino if she lost her virginity first.

She’d probably get really angry even though she didn’t really mind sharing a man with her older sister, so...

"To do that, how about having a threesome with Nino? I’ll set up the right time later." Ichika’s words were too tempting for the men.

Eiji was stunned. "Allright, I’ll be waiting to hear such good news from you later. Ichika, you’re making me like you even more."

Under the stares of the other customers, he walked out of the restaurant, his arm around Ichika’s slender waist.

He could feel the envious stares from the other men. Fortunately, they hadn’t heard their conversation. If they had, many of them would have choked.

"Fufufu~ I’m glad to know my standing in your heart has risen."

Ichika gazed at Eiji’s face—or rather, her boyfriend’s—with a gentle look. Her smile wasn’t a fake one, but a sincere one after the two of them had been doing naughty things earlier.

An hour later, a red Dodge Viper GTS came to a smooth stop right in the main lobby parking lot of the apartment complex. Eiji turned off the engine, then turned his head to look at Ichika.

"We’re here."

"Thank you so much for today, Eiji-kun. You really are my savior." Ichika said with her characteristic maturity; anyone seeing her now would never guess she was the woman who had just moments ago made such a lewd expression.

She didn’t kiss Eiji on the cheek. Then, she picked up her two carry-on bags and stepped out of the car.

The atmosphere in the apartment lobby felt very quiet and peaceful. There was no sign of Nino or the other three twins—Itsuki, Miku, and Yotsuba.

That was to be expected.

They were still at school right now.

Before leaving, Eiji watched Ichika’s curvy behind disappear into the apartment building and let out a sigh.

"What a teasing woman. No wonder the protagonist, Futaro, prefers Yotsuba over her."

"Futaro is such an idiot."

He praised Ichika and mocked Futaro.

How could he not?

In the original work, Ichika is the most proactive and can be compared to Nino. However, Futaro’s personality essentially makes him bad at handling both of those women.

So, unexpectedly, one of the five twins who came out on top was Yotsuba. She was the least proactive in trying to win Futaro over, but she ended up as the winner!

Even with their past, it still didn’t make sense from Eiji’s perspective.

He couldn’t believe a normal guy would make a choice like that. Of course, that doesn’t mean Yotsuba is bad. She’s just as beautiful as her other sisters. But if he had to choose just one...

Eiji wouldn’t hesitate to say that he’d only have a hard time choosing between Ichika and Nino.

...

During lunch break.

While Ichika was asleep in her bedroom, dreaming sweetly after what had happened earlier,

Eiji spent his lunch break with Lala, Yui, Haruna, and the other women, including Nanao.

But before that.

In the Online Literature Club, he had also officially introduced Nanao to everyone.

"Wow! Nanao, your short blonde hair is so cute! Nice to meet you, I’m Lala!" Lala exclaimed cheerfully. The woman with pink hair waved her adorable tail while holding a dumpling with chopsticks.

"L-Lala-san, nice to meet you... and thank you." Nanao stammered, adjusting her glasses with a shy smile but feeling happy that she was being accepted.

Across the table, Yui Kotegawa seemed to be adjusting her seat, but her eyes were gently fixed on Nanao. "Welcome to our club, Nanao-san. If Eiji acts inappropriately or crosses the line, don’t hesitate to report it to me. I’ll enforce discipline!"

[Enforce discipline? Yui, are you sure? Instead of disciplining me, you might end up taking Nanao’s place and getting what I’d do to her.]

Eiji! You’re immoral! Pervert! Hmph!

Yui glared at the only guy in the club, a slight blush on her cheeks. At Kuoh Academy, it’s no secret that the Online Literature Club was created specifically for Eiji’s harem.

Eiji pretended not to notice that Yui was staring at him; he opened his mouth to accept the food that Run and Momo were handing him.

The two women were sitting on either side of him.

Every now and then, Irina and Xenovia also tried to feed him. He didn’t refuse, of course, since that was also part of his duty as the Harem King.

"Umm, Yui, I don’t think Eiji would do anything bad to Nanao-san." Haruna said with a gentle, soothing smile, trying to ease Yui’s tension while passing the fruit salad bowl to Nanao.

[Haruna, you understand me better than Yui does! That’s right, I won’t do anything bad to Nanao. I’ll just do lewd things to her. After all, I’m her boyfriend.]

[That’s natural.]

Haruna didn’t change her expression; she was still smiling gently.

Yui rolled her eyes.

As for Nanao? She felt embarrassed by what Eiji had said in her mind. That’s right—she could hear his inner voice too, and had even joined the chat group.

Meanwhile, Run, who was feeding Eiji, also defended her fiancé and future husband. "Yui’s being her usual tsundere self. Eiji is very gentle and loves to pamper his women. How could he possibly do anything bad to any of us?"

"Run, take back what you said. I’m not a tsundere!"

Yui insisted she wasn’t a tsundere, but Run and the others didn’t believe her.

She felt helpless and ate her lunch as if she were eating Eiji. There was a pout on her pretty face.

"God must have blessed our meeting today. Nanao-san, if you’re feeling tired, I can use Twilight Healing to refresh your body."

Those words came from Asia; for some reason, she was acting like a nun, just like in the past. Still, she looked very convincing.

However, Eiji and the other women knew she was putting on an act.

Nanao, of course, had no idea.

"Hehe, don’t forget about me! I’m Irina Shidou, one of Eiji’s most loyal swords! Don’t hesitate to ask for my help if you need it, Nanao." Irina said energetically, wrapping her arm around Eiji’s from the side.

Xenovia, who was sitting next to Irina, nodded firmly; her serious expression softened as she looked at Nanao. "As a fellow swordswoman who fights alongside Eiji, I can see the hidden power within you, Nanao. Sometime, let’s have a sparring match."

"S-Sparring?" Nanao was confused.

She recognized Xenovia even before Irina introduced her. In fact, she recognized all the women in the room because each of them was popular at school.

"Xenovia, you idiot! Don’t bully Nanao with your muscles!"

"Irina, how dare you call me an idiot in front of everyone!"

The two former exorcists glared at each other.

Nanao was a little worried; she didn’t know this was normal between them.

"Fufu. Irina-san and Xenovia-san have a good relationship, as usual." Momo said teasingly.

"Tsk! Who has a good relationship with this idiot!?" Irina and Xenovia said, pointing at each other.

Eiji shook his head.

Lala, Haruna, and the other women in the club giggled. Nanao smiled knowingly; she was enjoying lunch with Eiji and her other sisters.

As for Basara? She’d forgotten about him.

On the way to the Online Literature Club, she had caught a glimpse of him and felt a little guilty toward him. But that was all; she squeezed Eiji’s hand and immediately looked away from him.

That NTR scene made Basara’s expression look absolutely awful. But without his power, he now dared not do anything but watch Eiji get cozy with his ex-girlfriend.

Damn it!

That was all the protagonist could say before he ate lunch alone. Unlike in the original work, Basara in this life has lost all the women who were meant for him.

"Wait."

Eiji suddenly remembered a woman who had a crush on Basara in the original work. She wasn’t a heroine, but a pretty female character.

Should he do something about her?

’If I’m not mistaken, her name is Rikka Kaijura. In the original story, she was the student council president.’

In this life, things are different, of course. Since Sona graduated, the position of student council president has been given to Cosmos.

After a pleasant lunch at the Online Literature Club was over and everyone returned to their respective classes. Eiji opened the Line app and searched for a contact named Cosmos—the nickname of Sakura Akino, one of the heroines from Oresuki who had become part of his harem.

The message read: {Cosmos, are you free right now?}

Of course, Eiji could have found out what he wanted to know right away using Rasiel. But he didn’t do that; instead, he used the opportunity to give Cosmos his full attention.

Meanwhile, at the Student Council office.

A woman’s pen, adorned with cherry blossoms, paused as she heard a notification from her phone and checked it.

Realizing her boyfriend had sent her a message, Cosmos was overjoyed and stopped what she was doing. She immediately replied to the message.

Cosmos: {Sorry, Eiji, I’m busy at the Student Council right now. What do you need from me? I can give it to you later or maybe right now...}

She wrote the last part with a hint of shyness in her heart.

Eiji smiled.

{It’s not that important, and I don’t want to interrupt your work as Student Council president. You must be busy.}

{I just want to ask you something. Do you know or have you ever heard of a student named Rikka Kaijura?}

Rikka Kaijura?

Comos’ gaze shifted to a woman sitting with the other Student Council members.

She was quite pretty, with long black hair, fair skin, a slender figure, and a decent bust. She had a kind and friendly personality; she was even the vice president of the Student Council.

Cosmos: {Yes, she’s the vice president of the Student Council and is with me right now. Is there anything you need from her?}

Cosmos’s lips twitched. Actually, he had a hunch as to why Eiji was asking about Rikka.

He might be interested in her!

That guy...

How many more women will he add to his harem before he’s satisfied? Rather than feeling jealous, Cosmos just felt helpless at that moment.

However, Eiji’s next reply was unexpected.

Eiji: {No, I was just curious if that student was at our school. Thanks, Cosmos... Once you’re done with your duties as student council president, let’s go on a date.}

"Ehh?" That’s the sound that escaped Cosmos’s lips; she widened her eyes and blushed slightly.

Cosmos: {You’re welcome! And yeah... I’m looking forward to it.}

On the other side, seeing Cosmos’s cute reaction, Rikka couldn’t help but ask, "Kaichou, you seem really happy. Who sent you a message? Is it your boyfriend?"
