Serve me, alright?

In his life, he had never thought that he would be blackmailed. It was a new experience for him, especially when he had always been the one who blackmailed other people. Still, since it had become like this, he had to see what this person wanted to do with him.

As for fear?

There was no such thing on his mind.

Why?

Because he knew this person well and he had let her take his video of him being kissed by Kodai. Yet out of all the future possibilities that she might do with this video, he had never thought of her to blackmail him.

As for the students who gathered to block his class before? He had already forgotten all of them.

When school was over, he didn't immediately go home with Kendo as he usually did. Instead, he went to Ibara's apartment to stay there for a while. Ibara didn't mind and let him stay at her apartment. However, Kendo pouted and told him that she would dry him later.

While he was speechless, his energy was enough to handle two girls, so he didn't put her words on his heart and visited Ibara's apartment. When he arrived at her place, even though she had told him they could only do it on the weekend, it was impossible for them to remain calm in each other's presence.

Naturally, as a lover and young people, it was impossible for them to stay pure if they stayed together, especially when they had tasted the forbidden pleasure.

Still, he held back since he didn't want her to be exhausted and returned after seven at night.

"Don't you want me to send you to the station?" Ibara wore her cardigan with a flush on her face as she leaned on the door. Her legs were a bit tired, but she walked him to the entrance of her apartment.

"It's okay. You're tired anyway, and it is dangerous to go out at night."

Ibara wanted to say she was powerful and there was no need to worry, but he gently caressed her cheek.

"I know you're powerful, but I can't help but stay worried, alright?"

"I know." Ibara softened, then kissed his lips. "Then, be careful."

"Okay." He wasn't sure if this "be careful" meant that he should be careful along the way or when he met the person who blackmailed him. Probably the former since she didn't know anything, but he had to meet this person either way since she had been sending a chat so many times on his smartphone. If he didn't silence and turn off the notification, he was afraid that Ibara might notice something strange.

'What do you want to do?'

With that thought on his mind, he left Ibara's apartment and walked toward his destination.

---

*Knock! Knock!*

He knocked on the door of the apartment before he looked around at his surroundings. This building seemed empty, but he knew that there were many people living in this place. As for why this place was so quiet, he thought it might be because the sound insulation of the building was good, but this was a normal thing since this building was rather grand.

'Is she rich?'

"Wait a moment."

He heard a gentle and lovely voice from inside the room, but it was impossible for him to put a smile on his face.

"You have come."

The door was opened, and he was welcomed by a familiar face.

"Yanagi-san, what do you mean by this?"

Yanagi Reiko.

He thought this girl was gentle and friendly with some little quirks, but unexpectedly, this girl dared to blackmail him.

Reiko only smiled and said, "How about we enter first? This isn't a place to talk."

He stared at Reiko for a moment, hesitating, before he nodded. "Okay." At that moment, he realized his acting skill was superb. Still, he was quite stunned by how she reacted after she heard his response.

Reiko beamed with excitement, which was something that she had never shown before, and her reaction made this situation quite bizarre, but it was only for a moment. If he didn't have his "Ultimate Eyes," he was sure that he would miss this and only see the quiet and emotionless girl who greeted him in her quirky way.

Unlike the usual, she put on makeup, erasing the dark bags under her eyes, increasing her charm even more, so even though she was a bit creepy, she was beautiful.

"Come in," Reiko said calmly, but the excitement in her voice couldn't be hidden.

He didn't say anything and walked forward. Naturally, as this was an unfamiliar place, he couldn't help but observe his surroundings. The room temperature was cool, but the area was quite dim. However, unlike Kendo and Ibara, Reiko's place was 2LDK, which was much bigger than theirs.

He could tell that her parents were quite wealthy, but his thought was broken when he heard a lock-like sound. He turned and saw Reiko close and lock the door.

"Why did you lock the door?"

"It's at night. Isn't it normal for me to lock the door?" Reiko said as if what she did was a normal thing. She walked past him before she took out a pair of slippers for him. "Wear this."

"....."

He sighed and then took off his shoes before he entered her house, walking toward the living room. The living room seemed cozy, with a sofa and a large television. The only thing that bothered him was the light was still dim, and he could see many horror-like goods around. Even her television was playing a horror movie now.

"Why did you play Sadako now?"

"I am bored waiting for you, so I'm watching this. It's your fault, right?"

"....."

He didn't know what to say at that moment since this girl had crept him out. Naturally, he had watched Sadako, a movie about a ghost that would curse someone who played her cassette video. Once one received her curse, they would die in a week.

So would he die?

Naturally, he wouldn't, but he decided to ignore all the unimportant matters in his surroundings to finish this matter as soon as possible.

"So why did you send me that video? What do you want me to do with me?"

"Calm down. You should sit on the sofa first. I will prepare tea and a snack."

"No, let's talk." It was impossible for him to drink or eat something, which she prepared since he was afraid if he consumed what she prepared, he might pass out before waking up with chains around his body, being trapped in the room, and forced to become her pet. By then, wouldn't it be too late for him to cry?

Reiko looked at Mineta with her usual emotionless expression.

However, he was firm and didn't even shake even if she stared at him like this.

The two kept watching each other before she looked away.

'Blushing?'

Even though the room was dim, he could see clearly everything as if it were a day. He could see Reiko's face was slightly reddened because of something. He suddenly thought of a certain possibility before he shook his head since he felt it was too early for him to make a conclusion.

'Now that you mention it, isn't she quite familiar?'

However, he didn't have time to think since Reiko opened her lips, "Fair enough, but can I ask you something?" She sat beside him on the sofa, unperturbed by his displeased expression.

"What?"

"What will you do with Yui?" Reiko asked.

"Yui-san?" He thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"Yes, what do you want me to do? I have a girlfriend, and it is impossible for me to betray her." He was surprised that he could say all of this without blushing, or he might be blushing at this moment. Fortunately, the light was dim, so Reiko couldn't see it.

"Poor Yui..." Reiko sighed and said, "She can only keep her love inside her heart without being able to do anything. How sad..."

He frowned but didn't say anything since this was how reality was. Yui could only keep her love deep in her heart, locked, and hid them deep inside her heart since it was impossible for them to be together. Of course, in public, but if she asked him to have an underground relationship, he would say otherwise, but he would never say this to this girl.

"But Ibara is sure lucky..." Reiko sighed again, saying, "She has a boyfriend who loves her so much."

"...."

He was really blushing at this moment, but he knew Reiko might have misunderstood his blushing for something else. "So what do you want to do? Hurry up and delete that video."

"Wait a moment. Let me ask you one more question."

"What?"

"Why did you accept that kiss?"

"I have never accepted that kiss." He shook his head and said, "I have just fallen asleep, but suddenly someone kissed me. Naturally, I woke up, but I didn't expect that it would be Yui-san who kissed me. If I stopped her or woke up when she kissed me, what do you think our relationship would be?" He was no longer blushing and could lie as he breathed.

Still, this made him realize that he was no longer that pure boy, but he had never thought of as one, especially when his goal was the personification of ultimate selfishness.

Changing this world so he could have a comfortable life?

If someone else heard it, they would curse him directly.

"Hmm..." Reiko nodded and sighed. "I never expected Yui to be so bold, but she is kind of pitiful."

"...what do you want to do with me?" It felt like this girl tried to make him guilty, which made him uncomfortable. "Can you just give me the video?"

Reiko didn't seem to fear his gaze. Instead, she enjoyed it since she knew she had the advantage. "Here." She gave him her smartphone, so he could delete the video.

He didn't waste his time and deleted the video on her smartphone from memory, cloud, emails, and many others. As long as he could find his video on her smartphone, he would delete it. When he finished, he looked at Reiko and asked, "Is this all?"

"Yup."

He didn't say anything and put her smartphone on the table. "Then I will go home."

"Are you sure that you want to go home?"

"What do you mean?" He stopped and frowned deeper.

"All the videos on my smartphone have been deleted, but I still have many back-ups."

"...are you playing with me?"

It was his first time being blackmailed, but he had to say this feeling was annoying.

"No." She shook her head and stood up, putting her hands on his shoulders so close that they might kiss each other. "I am not like Yui, who can bury my feelings like that, but I am not cruel enough to force you to break up with Ibara."

"Then what do you want me to do?" While he was calm, he seemed so furious at this moment.

"It's simple." She put her hand on his chin, caressed it gently, ignoring his anger, and said with a gentle smile, "Serve me, alright?"

"......"
