Chapter 2 – Waking Up

It was around 8:00 a.m. when I woke up. On a normal day that would be a problem but I was currently on vacation, and school would start only next week.

As I was stretching myself, a custom that I had after waking up, the events of a few hours earlier came back to me, destroying any remnant of the tiredness that my body might still have.

I left my bed and went to the bathroom to empty my bladder and take a bath, another part of my early day routine. As I was doing those things, I started to ask the system about the first things that I thought I needed to know.

System, what are Hentai Points?

['Hentai Points' are the form of currency used by the system in order for the host to acquire skills and items.]

A form of currency, eh? How can I obtain these points?

[The total of 'Hentai Points' will be increased every time the host executes activities related to the dominions of the gods that gifted the system to the host, Eros, and Anteros.]

Okay, let's see. If I remember correctly, one of them was the god of sex and the other was the god of romantic relationships, so that means that I'm able to obtain points by doing anything sexual with someone else and the amount I gain will probably be higher the more positively intense are the feelings between me and the other person.

Let's see, what else can I... wait!

System, do I need another person to earn points, or... am I able to gain points by pleasuring myself?

[It's possible to obtain points by the act of masturbation, but the amount varies and is extremely small, with the maximum being 10 points acquired per ejaculation.]

That was a bit disappointing.

I thought that I could acquire points rapidly by masturbating but that message implied that, whether it was items or skills, the prices would be too high to buy something anytime soon by just doing it by myself.

I want to ask more questions about how to obtain points, but that can be for later. There are other more important questions for the moment.

By this point, I had already taken a quick shower and dressed in a simple manner, good enough to receive my father in my opinion.

As I was heading to the kitchen to eat my breakfast I made the last question to the system for the moment.

System, what kind of items can I buy in the shop?

[The shop was designed to use divine energy to create or transport items to the host, depending on the nature of the selected item. All items displayed are related to the dominions of the gods Eros and Anteros, deliverers of the system, and can be used to increase the sexual pleasure of the host and partners or to demonstrate the increased romantic feelings between the host and his partners.]

That message clarified to me what I wanted to know, but it had a little too much information.

I didn't need to know how the items came to be, but it was an interesting thing to know.

There were more questions to be asked but I was almost in the kitchen, which meant I probably would be with my two cousins very soon. I also would meet my father today and I had the feeling that it would be better to don't have too many things on my head when talking with him.

Well, it's not like I'm facing the demon king or anything like that. I can ask more questions later.

Once I reached the kitchen, I was greeted by a familiar sight.

"Good morning Taka-kun"

"Hey Taka, morning!"

In front of me, seating at the table and already eating breakfast, were my two older cousins.

The first to greet me was the oldest of the two of them, Ayami Komiya. She was two years older than me, meaning she was twelve years old, with shoulder-length and gentle gray eyes. She had a calming and soothing personality combined with a figure more developed for someone of her age, at least I assumed.

The second to greet me is Megumi Komiya. She was just one year older than me and, different from Megumi, also a bit of a tomboy. She had the same brown hair as her sister but in a twin-tails hairstyle, playful green eyes, and a figure very well developed for her age, although not yet as much as her sister.

That vision was something that I was already used to, but for some reason today it felt different. It was a strange sense of deja vu like I had seen them more than I remembered.

Then I remembered what Anteros had said to me, that I would meet situations similar to stories in my past life.

Does this mean that they are part of one of those stories?

I couldn't help myself but ponder about it. The possibility that the two people I care about the most had a story about them for an entirely different world to see or read.

It was a weird feeling, to say the least.

"Taka-kun?"

Hearing my name forced me out of my thoughts. Looking at my cousins, Ayami had a slightly concerned expression and Megumi looked at me with curiosity.

With them like that, I thought that I should say something to alleviate their concerns.

"Uaaahhh... morning Aya-nee, Megu-nee. Sorry, I played games until late so I'm a little sleepy"

That wasn't a lie, but I probably was this way for suddenly waking up in the middle of the night, but I couldn't tell them that.

My response seemed to satisfy them because they went back to smiling at me.

"What?! You should have called me Taka. It's fun to play with other people" said Megu-nee.

"You shouldn't Megu, and neither do you Taka-kun. We will go back to school next week, so we should try to start to sleep earlier" said Aya-nee.

"That's more reason to enjoy ourselves more! I want to play with Taka as much as possible" said Megu-nee.

"Geeez Megu, that's why your grades were so low. You almost failed last year, so please be more careful of how you act" said Aya-nee.

"I still passed, didn't I?! Aya-nee is the weird one for worrying about this stuff instead of playing with us" said Megu-nee.

And just like that they started to bicker with each other.

I was already used to it. They discussed a lot but it was just because they cared and worry for each other in their own unique way.

After some time I thought that it was already time to ask the important question of the day.

"What time Father said he would arrive?"

"He should arrive in a few minutes" said Aya-nee.

"You really need to meet him Taka? He probably is just going to lecture you or something like that" said Megu-nee, clearly displeased.

"He's Taka-kun's father Megu. I know you don't like it, but if you meet him try to be polite at least" said Aya-nee.

Through their responses, anyone could understand that they didn't like my father. Technically he was our guardian, but neither I nor they saw him that much. He took them under his wing out of familial obligation, but nothing else. He not even once tried to form a relationship with them and only acted annoyed when they tried to bond with him.

Aya-nee tried to at least be polite, but Megu already lost patience for that a long time ago.

*Ding*Ding*Ding*

While we were discussing, the doorbell rang. It looked like he arrived.

I went there to receive him since I wanted to know why he was coming here as fast as possible.

Once I opened the door there he was in front of me, with the same dark hair and dark eyes, wearing a professional-looking suit, presenting the appearance expected of a businessman.

"Hello Takashi" he said.

His tone was completely indifferent like he was dealing with a situation simply out of necessity.

"Hello Father, welcome"

"Let's go to the living room. There's something that I have to tell you" he said.

His tone wasn't of someone making a request but giving an order, and he didn't want me to discuss it with him about it.

"Very well"

I didn't want to deal with him more than necessary. There were other things that I wanted to deal with, like this feeling of deja vu regarding my cousins and my other questions regarding the system.

Once in the living room, my father said the last thing that I expected.

"Takashi, I came here today to announce that I got married and as such, you gained a new mother and two sisters" he said.

That announcement caught me by surprise. I know that he didn't care for me much, but I thought that he would at least inform me before he got married, and at least have me there when it happened.

Just to show how much he cares for me.

Trying as best as possible to don't throw a tantrum, I swallowed the bitterness that I was feeling and tried to be polite.

"Congratulations Father"

That was the only thing that I could say.

"Thank you. We didn't have a ceremony or anything, we just went to the Registry Office and signed the documents" he said.

The way he described was like he was talking about business dealing, but that was what I should expect of him.

He never really cared for things like that.

"Leaving that aside, I came here so that you could meet them. You can enter!" he said.

After he said that, I heard the door opening again and three people entered the living room.

The first to enter were two young girls around my age, one with short black hair and the other with blond hair in twin-tails. Both of them gave me the same sense of deja vu that my cousins did.

But the moment the third person came, I felt like my heart had stopped for a moment.

Before me was probably the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, probably in both of my lives. She had an outrageously seductive figure, with long ashen blond hair in a single braid that reached her waist, kind blue eyes, and a gentle smile on her sexy lips.

I found myself so mesmerized by her that I almost didn't hear what she said next.

"Hello, Takashi. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. My name is Yuria and from today onwards I'm going to be your mother. I hope we can get along"
