Chapter 67: Good Harvest
*Shinomiya Residence*
*POV Tadano*
I find myself sitting on the couch in this spacious living room while sending some messages. My mother and Gan'an went somewhere. Although it bothers me a little, I'll respect my mother's decisions.
*Purring*
I lower my gaze and can see a cute KomiCat sleeping peacefully on my lap. If anyone asks how I ended up in this situation with someone as shy as Komi, it's simple.
Komi-San was a bit tense after Kaede left and we were left alone. To relax her, I offered to sing to her, which made her very excited, and she listened attentively to my singing.
Although it wasn't infused with my ability and was just a simple song, it was good enough to calm Komi-San, making her gradually fall asleep on my shoulder.
Since I needed to make some calls to set my plans in motion, I had her lie down on my lap.
To which she didn't resist and instead moved to find a more comfortable position.
Seeing her in this state warmed my heart.
Unconsciously, I found myself stroking her head.
She let out a satisfied purr as if she were truly a cat.
I couldn't help but widen my smile at seeing her sleep so peacefully.
On the other hand, I ended the call and hung up.
Now it's time to see the rewards for winning over this beauty.

Ignoring the events that occurred on the broadcast channel, I set my eyes on the other notification.
*Ding*
[Choose a Path to randomize an ability]
[1: Businessman]
[2: Shinobi]
Before making my choice, I offered a few prayers to Lady Luck, as I couldn't move and go wash my hands at the moment.
*Ding*
[Lady Luck is pleased and gives you a 5% chance of success]
[[The Demonic Judge of Fire] is somewhat jealous and demands that you pray to her as well]
I decide to ignore her and proceed to mentally mark Option 2.
*Ding*
[Randomizing]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the ability [Shadow Clones - Initiated], get one more ability to unlock the Shinobi job]
[Shadow Clones - Initiated]: "Create a copy of yourself with 75% of your statistics in exchange for 75 energy. Warning: The clone only has basic intelligence and can only follow basic orders."
Tadano: "HAHAHA! This dad will become the next Hokage..." I thought jubilantly.
Shinomiya: "..."
Nagisa: "..."
Tomoya: "..."
*Ding*
[Lady Luck looks away with embarrassment]
*Ding*
[[The Demonic Judge of Fire] looks at you with a gentle gaze and asks if you need help; she can listen to your confession if you pray to her]
*Ding*
[[The Defiler of the Sacred] looks away]
*Ding*
[[The Trickster of Chaos] supports your idea with excitement, hoping you inherit Naruto's incredible talent for pranks]
Tadano: "... forget it"
Putting the awkward moment aside, I set my eyes on another one of my abilities.
[Singing - Master]: "Your voice is the pinnacle of perfection; just a couple of phrases are enough to enchant the audience. Now you can perfectly imitate the voice of any other being as long as you remember their tone of voice."
*Ding*
[Since the skill has reached its maximum, it has created sub-skills]

[Persuasion - Initiated]: "Force the target to obey your orders for 30 seconds. This effect is enhanced while using the [Singing - Master] ability."
Tadano: "Wow... something worthy of a Master level..."
Shinomiya: "The system is as terrifying as ever."
/////
Tadano: "Well, I think it's time to take her home..." I said to myself as I lifted the sleeping Komi-San in my arms and stood up. I glanced at the mature blonde beauty beside me and said.
Tadano: "You can drive, right?"
Nao: "Of course, Young Master. Where would you like me to take you?" she responded respectfully.
Tadano: "Prepare the car; I'll take this little kitten home. It's getting late, and I don't want to worry her family," I said as I held Komi-San between my arms. She seemed to sense the movement and shifted in my embrace, seeking a more comfortable position.
I couldn't help but give her a fond look. She was so sweet that I feared getting a sugar rush at this rate. The MILF blonde looked at us for a moment and then replied,
Nao: "As you command, Young Master. But may I inform Gan'an-Sama and Jeanne-Sama?" she asked respectfully.
Tadano: "As you wish..."
After a nod from the maid, she headed to another part of the mansion. While waiting, I playfully teased the cheeks of the sleeping Komi-San. She groaned in annoyance at my teasing, and in an unexpected move, she bit my finger.
Tadano: "Damn it! That was a critical hit," I said as I felt my heart turning into pure honey. She bit for a while until she saw that I wasn't teasing her anymore. Then she settled down and continued sleeping.
A few minutes later, the maid returned. A slight blush on her cheeks was all I needed to know what those two were up to.
Tadano: "Damn it, I don't want another brother..."
Shinomiya: "I don't think we're that unlucky, right?"
*Ding*
[Lady Luck says that if you pray strongly for the next 3 days, you won't need to worry about this matter]
Tadano: "..."
*Some time later*
*Open*
Nao: "We have arrived, Young Master," said the blonde respectfully as she opened the car door for me. I nodded in confirmation, and with the cute little creature still in my arms, I made my way to the door and rang the bell.
After a few minutes, a familiar voice sounded.
Shuuko: "Yes? Who is it?" a sweet voice came from the intercom.
Tadano: "Good evening, Mrs. Komi. It's Tadano Hitohito. I've come to bring your daughter. Would you be so kind as to open the door for me?"
Shuuko: "Oh! Tadano-Kun! Of course... of course! Just a moment!" the woman's voice sounded excited, and she quickly ended the call.
A few seconds later, the door opened, revealing a smiling Shuuko. She greeted me cheerfully, but after observing us clearly, her eyes widened in surprise at seeing me and Komi-San.
Shuuko: "Hehe... such a naughty boy, you've come this far with my little one. You're quite the charmer, Tadano-Kun," the woman said playfully.
Tadano: "Hehe, sorry for the trouble so late at night. I've come to bring Komi-San, who came to visit me. Unfortunately, she fell asleep while she was taking care of me and since it was getting late I decided to bring her." I said as I held Komi-San in my arms.
Shuuko: "Don't worry, Tadano-Kun. I'm happy that you brought her..." then she glanced sideways at the mature beauty standing not far from me. Both shared a glance for a second. I could swear I saw a wild grin appear on Mrs. Komi's face. But upon closer observation, she only wore a friendly smile.
Shuuko: "Looks like you have a good guard... I didn't know you were so accommodating, Tadano-Kun, not that it matters. Anyway, thank you for bringing my little one," the woman said as she took Komi-San from my arms.
However, Komi-San didn't agree with that and clung fervently to my clothes.
Shuuko: "Oh..."
Tadano: "..."
*Pull*
*Clutch*
*Pull forcefully*
*Clutch tightly*
Shuuko: "You little rascal..." Mrs. Komi said as she tried to pull her daughter away from me. However, Komi-San didn't let go of my clothes.
Deciding that this couldn't go on any longer, I removed the shirt that Komi was clinging to, and after a tug from her mother, she finally let go. However, my shirt was still between her fingers.
Shuuko: "I-I'm sorry for the inconvenience, Tadano-Kun," the woman said with a rosy tint on her cheeks, somewhat embarrassed by her daughter's behavior. Although I could swear she was stealing glances at my now bare torso.
Thanks to the increase in my stats, my body was incredibly toned.
Tadano: "It's no problem. Once again, I apologize for any trouble I caused. With that said, I bid you farewell," I said as I waved goodbye and headed towards the car.
*Third Person POV*
Tadano didn't realize that when he turned around, two pairs of eyes were staring at him as if he were a couple of tigers eyeing a delicious fresh piece of meat.
