It has been around two days for Yuuji since Aika told the group about her predicaments. It might've been only a day or a bit more for Aika, considering the difference in the flow of time between their world, but she didn't seem like she was having any problem.
She was still chatting with him until late into the night and seemed to just be enjoying herself teasing him like usual.
Though for some reason, whenever he asked about her situation with the Gremories, she'd immediately became a bit prickly and asked him if he wants to know about what Rias and Akeno are doing before sending him a lot of pouting emojis.
It took him a while coaxing her to calm down and telling her that he was only worried about her. And after that, she became cheerful again and began sending him selfies of herself in various outfits that revealed much of her skin and cleavage, making his nights extremely long and difficult...
If he didn't want to wake up to his sisters yelping in shock at his morning wood pitching a tall tent under his blanket when they come and wake him up, then he'd have to do his best to calm down his raging dragon with the help of her mother, sisters, aunt, and Aika's pictures the night before. And he had been doing it a lot recently due to his [Divine Physique] and him becoming more conscious of the women in his house and the one who's been sending him her lewd pictures.
But at least, he could be relieved that nothing seemed to be happening to her so far.
Enjoying the peaceful morning in school, Yuuji ate his lunch in peace together with his sisters and the usual gang, which included Shu, Raku, Ai, Chitoge, Yotsuba, Onodera, and Ruri today in the cafeteria.
It was already Friday, and many of them wanted to eat together before the weekends, so they ended up here in the cafeteria.
Fortunately, with this big of a group, there were no girls trying to invite Yuuji to their table instead or approach him to get to know him and get his contact. But, he was still the center of attention for both the girls and guys for two opposite reasons.
Many of the girls were staring at him in a daze with rosy cheeks. Some even shrieked whenever he took a bite of his food or talked to his friends. He could even hear occasional camera shutter noises from all around him.
Meanwhile, many of the guys are looking at him enviously. Not only was he sitting with most of the most popular and prettiest girl in the entire school, they couldn't help but compare their own appearance to him! Many of them swore at him to go explode, or at least embarrass himself in front of those beautiful girls.
It was just the usual for Yuuji now, and after a week of school, he had gotten used to it to a certain extent. Now, he's just focusing on spending time with his friends and beloved sisters.
After finishing their lunch, Yuuji quickly returned to his class and took his laptop with him to a more private space; in the toilet. He had brought it to school specifically today because he had a feeling he'll profit greatly in the investments he made during his school time. And it was as he expected.
When he checked the status of his investments, it had just gotten to its highest price just a few minutes ago. With the leverage he used being more than twice his original investments and a dramatic positive in the stocks he brought, he was able to gain a profit return of $2000 the moment he sold it.
Nice! This is going very well.
Now with $3000 in his account, Yuuji can rake in even more profits.
Since his test will end by tomorrow night, it would be better of him to day trade for now and rake in as much profit as possible. For now, he'll just invest his money back into the market according to his instincts and collect his profit by night.
"Alright. This should be good."
Closing his laptop, Yuuji went out of the toilet and returned to his class.
As he walked through the hallway, a familiar beautiful voice resounded from behind.
"Oh my~ Yuuji-kun~ What a coincidence~"
He turned around, and he saw, leaning forward with her hands behind her back in a coy pose looking up to him, Ichika. Her beautiful, snow-white cleavage slightly peeking out of her white shirt that had two buttons opened.
"Oh, Ichika. What's up?"
"Hehe~ Nothing~ I just saw you walking in the hallway and decided to call out to you."
Her eyes moved down from his face to the laptop in his hand.
"Oh? A laptop?"
"Ah, yes. I was using it for a bit just now."
"Heeh~ What were you doing~?"
"That is a secret."
Yuuji smiled teasingly at her, making Ichika pout her pink, luscious lips and glared playfully at him.
"Geez~ You tease. Now I'm even more curious!"
"I'm sorry, but it's a private thing. Maybe if you pass our next exam, I'll tell you about it."
"That's not fair!"
"Ahahaha. Don't worry, I'll help you to the best of my abilities. Just do your best, okay? I'm sure you'll be able to pass them if you put your mind into it."
Yuuji noticed the air around Ichika changed all of a sudden as her beaming smile faded away for an instant. But before he could ask about it, her "smile" returned.
"Hehehe~ Alright~ I'll be counting on you, sensei~"
Ichika grinned and gave him a thumbs up. But instead of replying to her, Yuuji just stared at her for a moment before making his way to her.
Surprised and confused, Ichika became flustered as Yuuji moved closer and closer to her until he was right before her. His eyes were locked onto hers, making her unable to look away from him, and he continued staring at her for a while.
Her heart started to beat very loudly and she could feel her cheeks burning as she became extremely conscious of Yuuji being this close to her.
And as she stared at him, she noticed more of his beautiful features now that they're this close.
He has such long eyelashes… And what beautiful eyes…
She began to fall into a daze when Yuuji's smooth, silky voice suddenly brought her back to reality.
"Ichika…"
"W-W-What…?!"
Ichika lowered her head slightly, trying to hide her blushing face away from him, before stealing a glance by looking up. She was trying her hardest to calm her rapidly beating heart down when Yuuji suddenly said words that made her heart skip a beat.
"Have confidence in your and your sisters' abilities. After talking to all of you a few days ago, I know that you're all smart and intelligent girls. So believe in yourself."
"Eh…?"
Yuuji smiled and petted her head softly.
"And also, if there is something troubling you and it's something you can't say to your sisters, feel free to talk about it to me. Having lived with four females my whole life, I've learned how to become a good listener, so I can at least be an outlet for you to vent out your feelings."
"W-What are you…"
Ichika wanted to deny his words, but no matter how hard she tried to do it or "smile and play it off, all words were stuck in her throat, unable to get out. For some reason, she just can't do it in front of his gentle smile and soft gaze.
It was so vexing, yet his head pats and voice warmed her heart as if her entire being was wrapped by a soft, warm blanket.
She just knew him from Yotsuba and talked to him once before. But why does he seem to know so much about her? Why does he seem like he could see through her with those eyes…?
After a while, Yuuji removed his hand from her head and took a step back.
"Then, I'll get going now. You should return to your class too. Lunch is almost over."
"W-Wait!"
"Hm?"
Ichika suddenly reached out to him and grabbed him by the hem of his blazer, stopping him in his tracks.
"U-Uhm… That's…"
Yuuji tilted his head confusedly as she fidgetted nervously. Then, she began taking in deep breaths before raising her face up to him.
"Thank you! I'll take you up on your words! Then, let's exchange mail addresses so I can vent out my feelings whenever I want~!"
Ichika grinned and took out her smartphone, showing it to him.
"Hah… I thought you were just about to tell me off for touching your head without permission… Sure, we can exchange male addresses."
"Hehehe~ So you realize you did something rude~? Touching a girl's hair in public, shouldn't you apologize~?"
"...I'm very sorry. I did it by habit…"
"Habit? Oh~ Did you do it often to the twins?"
"Yes. That's why I might've become accustomed to patting someone's head, especially if I feel close to them."
"Close… Are we close…?"
Yuuji looked at her confusedly and answered.
"I think we're close. At least, I'd like to think so. Although we hadn't had the chance to learn more about each other, I think we get along very well. And, we can just learn things about each other more as we go, can't we?"
"I see… Uhn~! That's right~ Feel free to ask anything about me~ Ah, except for my three sizes, of course~ Though if you want, I can tell you Yotsuba's or my sisters' for a price~"
"I won't! Hah… Here's my ID. Feel free to contact me whenever you want."
"Okay~ Thank you so much, Yuuji-kun~"
"Mm. Then, I'll see you later."
"Yes~ Bye bye~"
Ichika watched as Yuuji walked away with a beaming smile on her blushing face.
"Hah… I really didn't expect things to turn out this way when I called out to him. I just wanted to tease him a bit…"
In truth, Ichika wanted to try and talk to him for a bit to find out what kind of boy Yuuji was since Yotsuba seemed to trust him a lot. But instead of getting his attention, he was the one who got her attention. And now, she can't get him out of his mind.
"What a sinful boy. If this goes on, it'll only be a matter of time before he got all of us five sisters in his hands…"
--------------------------------X--------------------------------
Night in the Tsubakihara household.
Mira had prepared dinner for everyone with Yuuji's help. They made slightly more than usual tonight since it's the weekend and since Aika will also be joining dinner tonight.
She had returned home just in time for dinner after leaving the rest of the night to her employees, and she quickly changed into a comfier loose shirt and hot pants before having dinner together with her family.
While having dinner, everyone chatted happily, telling them about their day. Yuuji also told them about him tutoring Yotsuba and her sisters for the exam, shocking Aika who wasn't aware of his recent academic achievements.
"Heeeh~ Didn't know you've become that smart~ Or are you just saying you're good at studying so you can spend some time in private with those girls?"
"I'm serious, Aika-nee… I've been studying a lot recently, and I'm quite confident in my studies now. You can ask Yuna and Nina about it."
"Uhn! Yuu-kun is really smart!"
"He's improved dramatically since we entered high school. It is a bit shocking."
"Nina… Is it that shocking…?"
Nina's lips curled into a teasing smile and continued eating her food without answering Yuuji.
"Ufufufu~ I know Yuuji-kun can do it if he puts his mind into it~ He has always been such a bright boy, after all~"
"Mom… I love you very much!"
"Yes~ I love you very much as well, dear~"
Yuuji held the urge to hug his sexy Goddess of a mom! She truly is a Goddess who'd heal his heart with her every word and presence!!!
"Heeeh~ I see… Oh! That's right! Yuuji, I need your help tomorrow!"
"Hm? Tomorrow? In the cafe?"
"Yes! One of my girls is sick, and Saturday morning is the busiest time of the week! So I need all the help I can get! You can do it, right?"
Her cafe, the Rose, was one of the most popular cafes in the city, and it would be extremely busy, especially during the weekends. Much more people, predominantly females in their teenage years to young moms in their early to late thirties, would come to her cafe and spend their time relaxing with their friends.
Aika knew that his appearance would definitely make things even more hectic. Perhaps it'd be fine if it was a few days ago, but not now after he suddenly became such an Adonis with a body that seemed to have been sculpted by the Gods themselves. She was sure a lot of females would swarm her cafe like never before, making her cafe even more busy than usual.
But this was her last resort. She didn't have the time to hire a part-timer right now and trust they could do a good job in the busiest time of the week. At least with Yuuji, she knew him well enough to know that he'd be able to do a good job handling the ladies as a waiter, especially with that silver tongue of his that had seduced her into falling in love with him.
Moreover… I want to see him in my cafe's uniform!!!!
Just imagining Yuuji's muscular body hugged tightly by the white shirt and brown apron around his waist made her feel hot. She had to admit, she had been imagining him taking her into the backroom and ravaging her body while still in her cafe uniform ever since she thought of the idea of having Yuuji help her.
Though of course, there's no way she could say it… It'd be too embarrassing if he came to know about her muscle and uniform fetish.
"Hm… Yuna, Nina, what time are we going to go with Tsukahara-senpai and Morishima-senpai?"
"Ah, they said they'll be free in the afternoon. Around four of five. They also suggested we go have a late dinner together after playing in the waterpark."
"I see."
"Oh? Are you guys going to a waterpark?"
"Yes we are~ We're going with our senpais~"
"Hmmm… Wait. Yuuji, you're going too…?"
"Yes."
"..."
Suddenly, Aika rose up from her seat and walked towards Yuuji. Then, she slammed down both hands onto his shoulders and looked at him right in the eyes.
"Be very careful."
"I-I get it, Aika-nee!!! I'll promise I'll protect Yuna and Nina!!!"
"Yes, that too. But I'm talking about something else."
"Huh?"
Her grip tightened around his shoulder, and while he didn't feel hurt by it, it certainly drives home the intensity and gravity of her words.
"Put on a jersey and never take it off."
"Ah…"
Yuuji finally realized what his aunt meant.
With his [Divine Physique], it wasn't only his face that had become the epitome of masculine beauty, but his body as well. In fact, while his face might elicit awe and mesmerize those who see it, his body will bring out immense lustful desires from anyone who sees it. Even those who weren't attracted to men would find themselves in awe and feel their hearts beat increasingly faster before him.
His body was even more dangerous than his face. Yuuji finally realized this fact now.
After all, ever since he received [Divine Physique], he was just really happy to have a body that his mother, sisters, and aunt were attracted to. And since he never showed off his body in public, he thought the girls who were looking at him were only interested in his face.
Now that he thought about it and recalled things, he did notice girls looking at his body with redly blushing cheeks and licking their lips…
That's right… I didn't even think about this when I agreed…
But it was too late. He can't just cancel their appointment, and in truth, he was very excited to play with his sisters and his senpais and see them in their swimsuit…
"I-I get it. I'll wear a jersey!"
"And never take it off."
"And never take it off!"
"Mm. Good."
Aika let out a sigh and returned to her seat.
"So? Can you help me with the cafe? It'll only be from nine to three in the afternoon. That will be our busiest time. After that, you can leave the rest to me and my girls."
"I understand. I'd be happy to help you, Aika-nee."
"Alright!!! I already have a uniform prepared for you! Just wake up early tomorrow morning and we'll go together! Don't worry~ I'll make sure to pay you fairly if you do a good job~"
"Ahahaha… You don't really need to, but okay."
"No no~ Work must be paid fairly! That's my principle, so you will be paid! Just take it and be happy for that extra allowance!"
"Alright. Thank you, Aika-nee."
"No problem~"
Yuuji smiled helplessly at her aunt and watch her eat her dinner happily.
Aika didn't know about him already making thousands of dollars from his trading and investments and thought he'll be happy to receive some extra allowance from her. But in truth, he's just happy that he gets to help his beloved aunt.
Well, as long as she's happy.
In the end, Yuuji decided to accept it and use the money to buy his Aika-nee something nice. Maybe a new set of clothes for her to wear while going out? His Aika-nee is very beautiful and has an extremely sexy figure, so he's sure anything would look good on her.
Though perhaps he should ask for his mother's or his sisters' opinion first before buying anything. He wanted to make sure that she'll like it.
Wait… Come to think of it… I still haven't given them the diamond accessories!!!!
The diamond accessories set he received from his first gacha 10+1 pull that he had enchanted with divine protection. Yuuji had been planning on giving it to them, but he still hadn't come up with a good explanation why he could have such an expensive item.
Even if I manage to get some money from my investments, it's still not enough that it'd allow me to buy these absurdly and obviously expensive diamond pieces of jewelry…
The amount of money he'll receive in dividends from the 1% iApple stocks he received from the group chat will be enough for him to buy these diamond accessories. But he also hasn't told his family about this…
He also couldn't use the Aika trick again since giving them something that he received as a gift from another person would just be weird…
Hah… What should I do…
Yuuji spent the rest of the night thinking about it until finally, he decided to ask Aika about her opinion while they're chatting.
Tsubakihara yuuji: "Hey, can you give me some advice?"
Kiryuu aika: "Advice? About what?"
Tsubakihara yuuji: "I received these diamond pieces of jewelry from the gacha last time. I've enchanted it with divine protection and I wanted to give it to my family. Is there a way for me to give it naturally to them?"
Kiryuu aika: "Ohhh… Hm, that might be a bit hard… I mean, normally, you wouldn't expect a high school boy to have that kind of thing in their hands…"
Tsubakihara yuuji: "Yeah… I managed to convince them with the scepter last time with your help, but since I want to give this to them, I don't think we could use that again…"
Kiryuu aika: "Right…"
(
"How about you say that I hired you to do some work for me?"
"Work?"
"Yeah. You got programming proficiency, right? What if you tell them that I asked you to make me something and I pay you with those pieces of jewelry?"
"... I don't think paying someone with diamond jewelries for just making them an app or a program would make sense, no matter how rich we make you seem to be."
"And also, if I were to work for you, then we'll have to make a more elaborate story with proof to convince my mom."
"Hm… That's true."
"Ah! That's right!!! You told them I'm a cosplayer, right?!"
"Yes. What about it?"
"Then how about I ask them to cosplay an anime character for me?! The diamond accessories will be part of the costume, and when we're done, I'll just give it to them as gratitude!!!!"
"..."
"What do you think?"
"...Aika, are you a genius?"
"Ehehehe~ Feel free to compliment me more~!!"
"You're such a genius on top of being so beautiful and sexy!!!! You're the best!!!"
"A-Ah… Ahahaha~ You're making me a bit embarrassed~"
"Thank you so much, Aika!!!! Now I just need to think of characters they can cosplay and convince them!"
"I'll help with that!!!! I'll definitely find a character that would suit your mother, sisters, and aunt!!!!"
"...They're not hentai characters, right?"
"No they're not~ Just relax and leave everything to me~ I'll try searching the group chat shop to see if they have cosplay costumes."
"...Alright. Just let me know once you found them. I'll buy it with my points."
"Okay~ Hehe~ You can look forward to it~ I'm sure you won't be able to hold back from ravaging them like the beast you are~"
"... Now I'm really worried. It's taking me everything to hold back right now, you know?"
"Fufufu~ Shall I relief you~?"
"No. Please treasure yourself, Aika…"
"Hehe~ I am, though~"
"..."
"Fufufu~ Alright then~ Let's leave it at that for now~"
Yuuji felt his cheeks heating up as he read her messages. He had to admit, his heart skipped a beat when Aika offered herself to "relief" him. He was definitely interested in the notion, especially since he had become so conscious about her recently.
But he didn't want to just "use" her to "relief" himself. If they were to be… intimate, then he wanted to do it properly as lovers first. Then, if she wanted to explore more and become a bit freaky, he'll happily go along with her.
Wa-! What am I thinking?!?!?!
Yuuji quickly shook his head and erase those thoughts in his mind. Else, he would need to "take care" of his "business" late into the night once again.
He opened his laptop and check the stock market to distract himself from the images of Aika's sexy selfies that kept appearing in his mind.
Unfortunately, after seeing the trend of the stocks he had bought earlier this morning in school, he had a feeling that it will rise even more overnight, so he decided against selling it tonight.
He let out a sigh and closed his laptop before plopping down to this bed, trying his best to fall asleep while reciting pi.
But even after a while, he couldn't rid himself of Aika's sexy selfie in his mind…
Dammit! It's all because she sends all those lewd pictures of herself!!!
The selfies she sent him were all pictures of her wearing a loose tank top and tight hot pants in various risque poses that showed off much of her cleavage, thighs, and armpits; the three fetishes he has…
In the end, he had to "calm" his fully erect little brother three times using them before finally being able to sleep for the night. But even then, he still had lewd dreams that involved his Aika, his mother, his sisters, and aunt where they all wore the same loose tank tops and hot pants Aika wore in her picture.
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
