A mistress

After their previous carnage, what was left was a stillness. 

While Mizuto could do more, he knew that Rinko's body couldn't handle him. Yes, she might be fascinating, and she was also a woman with experience, but it didn't mean she was a superhuman who could handle a beast like him. 

'In the end, it's like this, huh?'

As expected, someone like him couldn't be tamed. 

Mizuto felt like he was a Great White Shark who was swimming unrestrainedly in the Gulf of Mexico. 

Still, Rinko, lying motionless in his arms, thought about their future. Mizuto's actions undoubtedly provoked that middle-aged man and she wondered what they should do from then on. 

"Are you worried that man might do something to us?" 

"I..."

"It's okay. You don't need to worry." 

Hearing those words, Rinko smiled wrily, knowing that Mizuto had underestimated his situation. 

"If I say that, you might think I am naive, right?" Mizuto rolled his body and lay on his back, looking at the ceiling of her room. It felt weird, he thought, as in a single day, he had been lying on the bed with a different woman and in a different room. "I know who he is. He is the subleader of the largest yakuza group in the Kansai region, right?" 

"Huh?!" Rinko was dumbfounded and asked, "How did you know?" 

Even though that man might have an important position in the largest yakuza group in the Kansai region, it didn't mean that he was famous. Instead, because of his position in such a crime syndicate organization, he had to be low-key. But then, how did Mizuto know him?

However, Mizuto only smiled and said, "I used my connections to investigate about you, especially after I heard the trouble in your family, so I know everything about what was happening to you." 

Yes, as he had decided to use his "Identify" skill on Rinko, he knew everything about her, including the trouble that she encountered at that moment. 

Yet, he had to say, her life was really dramatic. He also never expected that she would be such a strong woman and kept fighting even after encountering all of that. Nevertheless, he limited himself to knowing everything related to her current problem, and he didn't read everything.

"...you know everything?" 

"Yeah." 

"..." 

This made Rinko wonder who Mizuto's identity was. 

"You don't need to worry. I am not from a rival yakuza group, but let's see... I am affiliated with the Dipper group." 

"D-Dipper group?!" 

Naturally, Rinko knew the "Dipper Group" as it was one of the biggest companies in Kyoto, and it worked in various sectors, from banking to real estate to media. 

If there was something that made her know about this company, it was because of the bank and hotel industry owned by this group. There were many hotels in various cities and countries, including Kyoto. Due to this, she was surprised, and her heartbeat became rapid as she was excited. 

Mizuto could also see the excitement in her eyes, so he said, "I will call someone so they will collaborate and hire you at our hotel." 

"Re-Really?" 

"Yes." Mizuto nodded. "So, don't do a bad job since I am the one who recommends you." 

"You don't need to worry. I will show my worth." Rinko nodded with determination, but then, she asked worriedly, "But... won't my matter trouble you?" 

"It's okay. For me, it is only a small matter, and they are just a yakuza group. They are at the bottom of society. You don't need to worry. I will protect you." 

Feeling his firm hold and those decisive words, Rinko wanted to cry and lean on him forever. She had been worried for so long about their future, but when she heard about his origin, she knew they would be alright, and it felt great to be protected. 

Yes, a yakuza might be powerful, but in the end, a gang was just a gang. 

Facing a gun and the law, they could only succumb and bow their heads. 

Moreover, unlike the gangs in foreign countries, it was so hard for one to get a gun in this country unless they had a relationship with the United States. 

However, Mizuto could get as many firearms as he wished and even get the strongest soldiers to work under him. 

Based on all that, even if his opponent was the largest yakuza group in the Kansai region when they had a war, they wouldn't be his opponent. 

Mizuto decided to destroy this middle-aged man and those involved with him, so he would go all out after this. 

Still, after their make-out, they talked to each other as Rinko wanted to know about his background better. Mizuto also explained that he wanted to give her peace of mind. Sometimes, it might sound like bragging, but there was no doubt that his origin was a powerful tool to reassure Rinko that everything would be alright. 

"I had expected that you would be working on the art type of work, but I didn't expect you to have an Ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement) school." 

"Are you surprised?" Rinko smiled. 

"You are amazing." Mizuto gently kissed Rinko's forehead, which caused her to hug him tightly. She didn't want to let him go. 

Still, this was also the reason why Rinko knew about his company and was happy with his instruction. As the owner of the flower arrangement school, what was the source of her money?

The first was her students, who would pay her tuition when they learned under her. 

The second was someone who had entrusted her with a job to decorate the interior of the house, building, or even hotel with her flower arrangements.

Mizuto's affiliation with the Dipper Group allowed her to work at his hotels, prepare flower arrangements, and even teach lessons to rich customers who visited his hotels. 

So, there was no doubt that this brought her a lot of help, especially in terms of protection and stability. Under such a large umbrella, there was no need for her to be worried about being dirty by the rain anymore. 

"Though, I am surprised that you decided to bet your school by joining the Aoi Festival." 

Hearing Mizuto's words, Rinko only smiled. 

To make her school more popular so she could gain more students and jobs, she decided to bet everything to join the Aoi Festival, one of the most popular festivals in Kyoto. By joining this festival, it would bring prestige and popularity to her school, giving her more money.

However, to join this festival wasn't cheap, and one needed to prepare 10 million yen. 

Still, she had enough money, and as long as she worked hard, she could pay off her husband's debt to that group. But would that middle-aged man let her?

Mizuto had to say that this woman was so courageous and dared to fight, which amazed him since, in reality, not many people dared to do this.

If he didn't have a system, then would he dare to fight the yakuza group?

He dared, but his way of fighting would be different. 

Nevertheless, with this, their problem was solved, right? 

Still, Mizuto reminded Rinko so she wouldn't be surprised by how he was going to solve this yakuza organization. "I have to remind you that I have an important position there, so you might see that their action might be a little extreme." 

"You don't need to worry. I am not naive. I understand the world we're living in."

Rinko wasn't naive, and she knew that she wouldn't be surprised if that yakuza organization was eliminated, but it didn't matter. Even if her supposed father was part of this organization, she didn't care either since, for Mizuto, she had decided to give her everything. 

Mizuto only smiled, then decided to go home since it was a little late. 

While Rinko was exhausted, she still forced herself to help him and sent him off like a devoted wife.

"You don't need to force yourselves." Mizuto felt sorry to watch her, who wanted to help him take a bath, as he knew well how exhausted she was. 

"It's okay. I need to take my role well from now on," Rinko said softly.

"Role? What role?" 

"Lover..." Rinko smiled sweetly as she said that word. 

"...." Mizuto. 

"What were you surprised about? Didn't you plan to make me your lover?" 

Did he?

Yet Mizuto also understood that his actions, whether to give her more work, solve her family's debt, or protect her from that yakuza group, were like those of a man who supported his lover. 

"It's okay. You don't need to worry. I won't interrupt your life or your lover, but come to me from time to time, okay? I will give you a lot of love ~!" 

Rinko stopped rubbing Mizuto's back, and her hand became naughty, holding his erection and stroking it gently with her soft hands. 

Facing the gentleness of a mature woman, what could Mizuto do? 

"Oh~!" 

Mizuto decided to enjoy his hard work.
