69 Chapter 69: Ohana Means Family

It was midnight, I was in my office looking out the window.

"I don't know what to do…" - I sighed to myself.

I don't want to thoroughly investigate what happened with Rinka because if I find out that she is the cause of this incident then I don't know how I will react.

I have no control over myself and if in an act of impulsive hate I say or do something irreparable then I won't know what to do next.

At the same time, if I don't do something then I will just remain a coward unable to move forward in life.

I am scared, I am scared by the possibility of discovering that my daughter is a monster, I am scared of having to punish her, and even more, I am scared of the idea of hurting her.

"You want to talk?" - Asagi stood behind me and massaged my shoulders.

"Asagi, in your experience as a mother, what should I do if my daughter turns out to be a horrible person?" – For the first time I didn't feel relieved to feel Asagi's affection.

"I don't know" – Asagi's voice had kindness and sadness. – "I made many mistakes and I have no right to give you a rabbit on how to raise a son or a daughter"

I frowned and held Asagi's hands that were on my shoulders, but when I wanted to say something, she stopped me. – "Satou, I appreciate that you care about me, but right now you are the one who needs help, stop trying to save others when you yourself are the one who is suffering"

… I sighed and fell silent.

"Satou, do you know what happened to the Taimanin?" – Asagi spoke gently as if she were telling a forgotten tale.

I shook my head and she started to speak.

"We Taimanin were the main group in eradicating enemies for humanity, although our power was not the strongest, the Taimanin Particles allowed us to use our supernatural powers in the normal world without repercussions, this allowed us to face more powerful enemies without them being able to fight back…"

"It was because of this that we were the main force protecting Japan, but like all organizations with noble intentions, ambition led to corruption, and desire led to destruction..."

Even though Asagi's hands were shaking, she continued to speak calmly.

"My first boyfriend was a kind but weak man, this was something my enemies took advantage of and after they found him they gave him a miserable death to make me feel miserable…"

"As an atonement, I adopted his younger brother as my son, I did my best to raise and protect him, but as much as I loved him as a son, he loved me as a woman..."

"Things got out of control, his love for me, or rather his lust, made him look for more forceful means to obtain what his desires longed for..."

"He made a deal with a demon, he got a weak mind control ability, it wasn't a strong power and even an ordinary woman with strong willpower could get out of his control, but when he used that power on me I was too scared to turn him down..."

"In my ignorance and innocence, I thought that if I refused to accept his feelings then he would suffer and I already felt guilty for the death of his brother, so even though I saw him as my son I allowed him to have my body..."

"And before you say anything, I don't hate him so I hope you don't, he's just a dumb kid I didn't know how to raise to be a good man..."

I sighed internally.

I hate hearing this story, not because it makes me think of Asagi as a 'dirty woman' or some stupid thing like that, but because it hurts me to know that the woman I love has had to go through such bad experiences.

Asagi continued to tell her story while keeping her voice calm.

"For a while, I was blinded by pleasure and my own stupidity, my adopted daughter noticed my relationship with her brother so she left home to become an independent Taimanin, despite that I did not look for her and she is still missing to this day …"

"Because of all this, I did not notice the danger that was approaching. While I was immersed in pleasure and guilt, the enemies of the Taimanin managed to make deals with the government, things got worse when the demons offered benefits that tempted the men more ambitious…"

"And before you start feeling guilty, this wasn't your fault, the arrival of the demons has been going on for decades before the rise of the Gentleman's Club so even if you didn't form that group, the demons would still have come to Japan..."

She knows me too well.

"Going back to the story, several people within the Taimanin group betrayed us, even one of the best Taimanin who had been missing for 5 years came back, but now on the side of the demons and she was the one who led the attack on our base..."

"Many people died, friends I knew all my life were killed and I couldn't do anything to help them..."

"I was the strongest Taimanin, but what my son and I didn't know is that the demon that gave him that ability had set a trap..."

"What that ability did to me was not a simple mind control, but it injected me with the Incubus King's pheromones so when the demons attacked, I couldn't fight as my body was totally drugged by pheromones..."

"In the end, we lost, my son was turned into a ball of meat and they forced me to do all kinds of humiliating things and if I resisted then they would torture him…"

"When my mind was on the verge of breaking, my sister and the few surviving Taimanin carried out a rescue mission where they managed to rescue me and my son, but the price was high, many of my friends fell into the hands of the demons..."

"Satou, I'm not telling you this to make you pity me, I don't want you to take revenge on the demons for me either, I just want you to understand something I had to learn the hard way..."

"Even if you make mistakes that make you regret being alive, you must move on, you cannot run away from problems, but you must not face them alone either..."

Asagi moved to stand in front of me and looked into my eyes, her face showed no pain or sadness, just a kind smile full of love. – "You are not alone Satou, if you don't know how to solve a problem then you can ask me for help, if I don't know how to help you then we can ask Enma or Kiara for help, and even if they don't know how to fix the problem, together we can all make mistakes to learn of our mistakes, but no matter what happens, we will do it together"

Despite her moving words I didn't feel like crying, despite her love I couldn't speak, all I could do was smile. In my smile, I expressed a feeling that was previously unknown to me, a feeling of security.

Asagi smiled at me and leaned over to give me a kiss on the cheek. – "If I see that you are about to make a mistake, I will help you to stop and learn, so if one day you see that I am about to make a mistake you should stop me and teach me, this is how a family works"

Family… That word that generated so much rejection in my heart due to guilt now sounds so nice.

"Thanks Asagi, now I understand better what ohana is" - I smiled and held Asagi by the waist so that she sat on my lap.

Despite the fact that she is taller than me, it is nice to have this beautiful woman on my lap without the need for sexual acts.

"Ohana?" – Asagi hugged me and we both looked out the window, instead of seeing the darkness of the night we both enjoyed the moonlight.

"Ohana means family, and family never abandons you or forgets you" - I smiled wryly trying not to think about the movie where I stole that.

"..." - Asagi sighed wryly. – "Your nonsense never ceases to amaze me"

As pleasant as this moment was, something about Asagi's story still stuck in my mind as if it were an annoying fly buzzing in my ear.

"Asagi…" – Despite the discomfort and slight fear I felt, I still wanted to ask. – "When your son can return to normal, what will you do?"

Asagi looked up to smile at me. – "He is my son and you are my husband, that will not change, I will make it clear to him that he and I are mother and son without the possibility of another type of relationship, but if he refuses to accept things, I have already spoken with Enma to erase his memory, he will have a peaceful life outside the supernatural world and I will stay by your side, don't even think that you will get rid of me easily~"

I smiled playfully to keep from sighing in relief. – "Get rid of you? If I do that then who will help me deal with my lust at night?

Asagi frowned in mock anger. – "Hmph, you have enough women and at the rate, you are going, you will surely get more women"

"It's true, at this point it's ridiculous to deny that I will end up increasing the number of women in my harem" - I shrugged. – "But even if I have queens, princesses, goddesses or demons in my harem, I will only have one Asagi and that makes you special"

"…" – Asagi blushed like a tomato and pressed her face into my shoulder. – "Damn you Satou, stop watching romantic drama series"

Ha, nothing beats cheap romance cliche dialogue!

I enjoyed my little victory with this tough, sharp-tongued woman.

"Satou, what happened with the girls showed us that we lack manpower, even if Shaku can protect the girls at all times she is too vulnerable towards holy elements and light, moreover, it will be a disaster if something like this happens with girls who don't have a strong bodyguard…" – Asagi tried to divert the topic, but what she said was true so I couldn't keep joking.

That's true, I have strong people with me, but the number of real fighters in my group is very few.

Unlike shonen anime like Dragon Ball, in this world numbers do matter.

Even if Kiara were to use all of her power without considering the consequences of antagonizing the Will of the World, she might be overwhelmed and defeated by the armies of mages and other entities from the supernatural organizations of this world.

You could say that having Kiara, Enma, Shaku, and Elena with me is like having four nuclear bombs in my pocket.

They have terrifying combat power, but I'm not the only one with nuclear bombs and in large-scale combat, I lack adequate fighters as the monsters in my residential area and in the demihuman community are at most mid-level according to the scale of power of this world, moreover, a large-scale war would cost thousands of innocent lives and that is a risk I am not willing to take.

That made me look at my system inventory, the Mikan incident made me see how stupid I've been to ignore my system, and even if the quests were crap that hurt my sense of morale, the rewards are too valuable.

[Common Gacha Ticket: Mapo Tofu or a waifu? It's all in luck~

[Lucky Gacha Ticket: Take a waifu or go to hell

A cursed object capable of bringing happiness or despair to the user. Thanks to the EX Luck option, this ticket ensures a special prize, however, it is up to the user to determine if this is a good or bad thing]

I focused on the last two articles. The first time I used a Lucky Gacha Ticket I met Kiara so I have some ideas about what will come if I use this ticket.

The problem is the Common Gacha Ticket, if I use this thing and actually receive Mapo Tofu I will cry tears of blood.

I sighed and took out the two gacha tickets while Asagi was still embarrassed in my embrace. When she saw the two tickets her face showed seriousness as if she had never been embarrassed to the point of blushing.

"Isn't this the item you summoned Kiara with?" – Asagi asked with curiosity and suspicion when seeing the two tickets.

One ticket was gold and the other was silver, but they were basically identical in design, whoever made this system was too lazy to come up with anything original.

"I plan to use this to get more helpers" – I looked at the two tickets in my hand.

"Another woman like Kiara and Enma?" - Asagi made a bitter face.

"They are not so bad, they are just misunderstood." – I didn't even believe my words.

Asagi rolled her eyes. – "Well, do what you want, this article could give you control of an entity like Kiara so I am not worried about security, but I am worried about the personality of the new woman you will add to your harem"

"I'm not necessarily going to add her to my harem…" - I muttered in a low voice, not feeling safe with my own words.

Asagi's blank stare is painful.

"Ahem, let's see what happens" - I looked away.

"Wait a minute, I'll call Kiara and Enma, better be careful" – Asagi sighed and stood up.

Asagi disappeared into a mass of shadows and in a matter of seconds, she reappeared alongside Enma and Kiara.

"Fufufu, Master is not satisfied with us?" – Enma smiled mockingly.

"It is the nature of man to despise the old while yearning for the new" – Kiara made a dramatic expression.

I smiled wryly. – "I will literally never get tired of you, I have already shown that every night"

"…" – The two evil women looked at me blankly.

"Master, I think watching so many romance animes is rotting your brain" - Enma smiled wryly.

"Let's see how my luck goes" – I focused on the two tickets, I'm definitely not avoiding the embarrassment.

Since the golden ticket assures me of a good prize I'll save it for last, I'm going to start with the silver ticket in case something comes up that can depress me.

[Common Gacha Ticket Activated]

The silver ticket began to float and spin as the room filled with silver light.

[Lucky Pervert (E) skill has been activated]

[Achievement obtained: Defying fate and stealing a belonging from the Will of the World.

Reward: Lucky Pervert (E) > (D)]

Oh God…

Out of the light appeared a female figure with such a beautiful appearance that she could steal men's hearts, but even though her face was comparable to the most perfect work of art, my face was an expressionless face due to disbelief, I don't know how I should feel...

"Ufufufufufu" – The woman started laughing so narcissistically that we all looked at her blankly. – "Are you the splendid warrior who will fight for me? Although looking closely you don't look like a warrior, but that's fine with me, I can see that you are definitely skilled in other more enjoyable activities ufufufufu~"

…Oh God, I want to throw a wheel of cheese at her…

"Who is she?" – Asagi looked strangely at the narcissistic woman.

"She's Queen Medb from Irish mythology..." - I sighed.

My sex life is already a mess and now I have to deal with an evil nymphomaniac with a goddess complex...

Medb smiled hearing me. – "Oh, you managed to recognize me easily, as expected of my beauty that is recognized through the passage of time ufufufufu~"

Asagi turned to look at Kiara. – "For some reason, I no longer think you are a bother"

Kiara smiled wryly. – "To think that someone would surpass me in narcissism, the universe is unpredictable…"

Now I'm scared to use the golden ticket.

"Oh, this is interesting, I no longer feel the connection to the Throne of Heroes" – Med looked at her own hands as her smile grew. – "The restrictions of the Will of the World are gone and I feel stronger than ever ufufufu, did you do this? Excellent~ As expected of my greatness, even my Master is amazing ufufufufu…"

I wasn't able to speak as Medb started having a monologue with herself, I could only stay in expressionless silence.

I don't know how to deal with people like her, her energetic attitude is exhausting for people with few social interactions like me.

"Well, how grand is the party you have prepared to welcome me?" – Medb approached me with a cheeky smile.

Looking closely at her, she's quite cute, her voice is lovely, and while her narcissistic attitude is exhausting, it's hard to hate her because of her beautiful smile...

[System Notification: The skill 'Resistance to Mental Attacks (A)' has blocked a seduction passive skill]

… Now I remember that most of her skills are based on charm and seduction.

Perhaps in a hentai world like this, she would be a deadly weapon, but at the same time, she is too appetizing prey for hungry wolves…

I sighed and showed a forced smile. – "I am going to make you a delicious banquet that you will certainly enjoy."

"A banquet made by you?" - Medb's eyes widened in surprise, then she smiled with delight. – "Ufufufufu, among the countless men who have courted me you are the first to use culinary skills, this is a fascinating surprise ufufufu~"

I smiled wryly. Even though we are both almost the same height, her cheerful and pampered attitude, as well as her pink hair, reminded me of Lala so I could only see her as a cute girl even though she is actually a lunatic, despotic, and nymphomaniac woman.

Damn it, I'm too vulnerable towards cute things...

"Let's eat, but don't make too much noise since the girls are sleeping" - I smiled wryly at Asagi, Enma, and Kiara.

"At least she's not another demon" – Asagi sighed.

We went down to the dining room while Medb looked around like a curious child which was kind of cute.

Since Medb was a queen she must have tasted all kinds of delicacies before her tragic (and pathetic) death so I did my best to make sure this narcissistic queen can enjoy a delicious meal and not feel bad since I technically kidnapped her off the Throne of Heroes.

My idea was for the meal to be quiet, but…

"She's convulsing…" - Asagi looked at the creature writhing unpleasantly on the ground.

"This is funny and unpleasant" – Enma smiled.

"… I will refrain from saying anything" – Kiara preferred to eat some sushi without looking at the creature on the ground.

Didn't I tell her that she was grounded and she couldn't eat?

Well, I'll let her enjoy her food for today since my attention is on something more important.

"…" – I stared blankly at the strange entity writhing on the ground.

"De-Delicious...…" – Medb was on the floor squirming like a worm while her mouth was covered with chocolate, I think I went too far with the chocolate cake….

"Satou" – Asagi put her hand on my shoulder. – "In the future be more careful when preparing food, you were excessive and I think you broke her"

…I Mindbreak a nymphomaniac with a simple chocolate cake, my culinary Dao is terrifying…
