Chapter 40: Best Friends are For Sale!
Rika laughed joyfully as she leaned further into Enzo's arms.
The dinner table was a feast for both the host and the guests. Halfway through the meal, with the wine flowing freely, Rika was practically melting into his embrace.
It wasn't that she had been forced—quite the opposite, in fact. Master Busujima's natural charisma was undeniable, and his apparent advantages were just so good!
In terms of status, he was a sword master admired by countless people, and his social status was comparable to that of a governor of a major city.
Economically speaking, the Busujima family, with roots dating back to the shogunate, might not be able to rival the wealthiest chaebols, but with a fortune in the tens of billions of yen, they certainly weren't struggling, right?
And his looks? His physique?
Rika had seen his photos before. Enzo was undeniably a handsome man, especially for his age. He had to be, after all—how else could he have fathered someone as beautiful as Saeko?
His appearance was far above average, and when combined with his wealth and power, he might be an intimidating figure to some younger girls, but for mature women like Rika, Enzo was a walking, humanoid, pure, raw aphrodisiac.
Or else, why would Manami Katsura stay so satisfied despite how roughly Enzo had played with her?
Wasn't it because his allure was simply overwhelming?
Similarly, Rika's playful and adventurous nature had always drawn her to men like him.
Now, as she met him and spent some time with him, he became her favorite.
"I'm so angry! Mr. Busujima should be my date partner, right?"
Shizuka, who had been watching the scene unfold, pouted. Her best friend was practically on top of her blind date, rubbing her full breasts against his chest with no shame. Even though Shizuka had her moments of airheadedness, watching Rika flaunt herself like this made her feel somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.
"Come on, Shizuka, don't worry about the small stuff. Besides, it's not like you're into men anyway!"
Rika teased, and her hand lazily trailed down Enzo's arm as she smirked at her friend.
As the saying goes, "best friends are for sale." Rika and Shizuka weren't the type of plastic best friends to sabotage each other, but when a top-notch man like Master Busujima was involved, it was only natural for a bit of competition to arise.
"Who says I'm not? I think Saeko's father is pretty good!"
Shizuka shot back with a pout.
In fact, this cow herself didn't know what her sexual orientation was.
She'd always assumed she liked women, largely due to her deep friendship with Rika. But sitting here, watching her best friend draped over Enzo, she couldn't help but wonder if she might enjoy a man like him, too.
"You..."
Rika's chest tightened with frustration, and her anger swelled to the point that even her breasts ached.
Why could her silly best friend not read the situation?
"Miss Rika, Miss Shizuka, it was a pleasure to have dinner with you two. Would you mind leaving me your contact information?"
Fortunately, before the matter spiraled out of control between the two best friends, Enzo noticed the atmosphere was growing awkward and quickly intervened.
Had it been just one of them here to eat tonight, he would've happily taken her upstairs and introduced her to his unique style of "swordsmanship" all night.
Compared to Shizuka, a black-skinned hottie like Rika had a much different body and appearance, and it was fine to use her to satisfy his lust!
After all, diversity has its own appeal, and he could occasionally taste new flavors, right?
However, with both women present, it was too unrealistic to coax them both into bed at the same time. Japan might be open-minded, but pulling off a threesome with two women he had just met was wishful thinking, even for him.
So he decisively decided to leave tonight.
Better to play the long game.
He could always reel them in separately later on—there was no rush. After all, patience was one of Enzo's strongest virtues.
With a polite smile, they exchanged contact information. Enzo bid them farewell and returned home, satisfied with the progress he had made.
"Father, you're home already?"
Saeko's couldn't help but ask in surprise when she saw her father enter the house.
Could it be that things didn't go well with Shizuka sensei?
Otherwise, even if they didn't go directly to a hotel after the first date, wouldn't they at least go see a movie or something?
"Miss Shizuka brought a friend with her. We had a good chat."
Enzo replied with a casual shrug.
Ever since they had a heart-to-heart talk for a long time last night, Saeko's trust in him had reached a near-perfect level. She was his most loyal daughter now, and except for some secrets that really couldn't be told to others, he felt that he could still reveal some bits and pieces to her.
"Shizuka's personality is a bit silly, and her friend is rather strong. Neither of them is an ideal match."
"Ah—then Father, should I tell Shizuka-sensei tomorrow that you're not interested in her?"
Saeko was somewhat stunned. Her father wasn't even interested in someone as beautiful as Shizuka-sensei. His standards were far too high!
"That won't be necessary. Although neither of them is fit to be the wives of the Busujima family, my inner demons still need someone to help manage them. You said they're lesbians, didn't you? It's better that way."
It was exhausting to pretend to be a gentleman all the time. Enzo believed that Saeko would one day become his ideal assistant. She was sharp enough to understand the more sinful aspects of his nature.
So he decided to let go a little around her now.
"Yes, Shizuka-sensei does have that kind of sexual orientation. But how is it better this way?"
The girl thought for a moment, and then it clicked to her.
Her father's inner demon was sexual desire. Though he could vent it temporarily on the Katsura family's promiscuous mother and daughter, it wasn't a long-term solution.
Manami, after all, was a married woman, and Kotonoha was technically his apprentice. Their motives weren't pure either.
They were useful for now, but in the long term, they carried a significant risk.
Whether it was Manami or Kotonoha, exposing their relationship with her father would spark a firestorm of public opinion and potentially lead to a scandal that could damage the family's image.
And, of course, he couldn't stoop to common women from those brothels.
No, that would never do. But Shizuka-sensei, with her lesbian attribute, seemed like a perfect fit.
Because Shizuka sensei and her friend were lesbians, their cooperation was solely physical and did not extend to the soul; neither party owed the other anything.
Besides, Saeko knew her father's lust was too powerful to be satisfied by just one woman. Unless she was someone depraved like the Katsura mother and daughter with evil intention, no respectable woman would ever share a man in such a way.
But Shizuka-sensei? She had no problem with those boundaries. She could serve that role perfectly without causing waves.
Although doing this seemed to involve using Shizuka sensei as a tool, Saeko thought it was not a big deal.
Shizuka sensei wouldn't suffer anyway, right?
Having a sexual partner as handsome and powerful as her father—how could she not consider that an advantage?
From every angle, Shizuka-sensei was the one coming out ahead and gaining quite a lot.
Contemplating all of this, Saeko nodded to herself, sensing that she was approaching the truth.
Standing opposite her, Enzo looked deeply at his daughter, nodding from time to time with a thoughtful smile.
However, he made no move to disturb her, nor did he feel the need to explain his intentions.
He simply let her formulate her own conclusions.
After all, whatever she assumed would work out in his favor.
With the zombie apocalypse approaching, he certainly didn't have some grand reasons, like reputation and whatnot, for preferring Shizuka and Rika to be lesbians.
It was purely his own bad taste that he wanted to fuck both girlfriends separately and then enjoy the moment when they discovered the truth. Or he simply wanted to see what a threesome with two lesbian girlfriends would feel like.
Of course, it was only threesome. Enzo was not fond of his bitches indulging with each other.
'Seems like I have to find a way to separate them in the future; let them hate each other, but then order them to come to serve me together. Hehehe, now that will be fun!'
