「 But, you sure are cute 」

Mariko looks at Izumi in the bathroom, who’s covered in bubbles.

「 You’re rather petite, but your breasts are huge, and also cuddly 」

「 Cuddly? 」

Izumi’s master, Maki, smiled.

「 Can I? 」

「 Yes, Izumi is Marika and my pet, but we want everyone to dote on her 」

Maki, the owner says.

「 Maki-oneesama 」

Izumi clings to Maki, looking reluctant.

「 What’s wrong? Geez, Mariko-chan’s our family you know 」

Marika told Izumi with a smile.

「 Izumi’s also into beautiful girls, right? Look, they’re all beautiful people 」

Maki’s right, it’s all beautiful girls in the bathroom. Maki, Marika, Izumi, Mariko, Ruriko, Michi, and Luna.

Girls from a wide age range line up their beautiful naked bodies.

「 That’s true, but nyan…..uuu 」

Izumi’s gaze went from the girls to me.

「 I’m still not used to a man’s body, nyan 」

She says while hugging Maki.

「 It’s not any naked man, it’s Kou-kun. Kou-kun’s different from other men. Kou-kun is Kou-kun. He’s special to us 」

Marika told Izumi kindly.

「 You don’t have to be accustomed to other men. Rather, don’t even speak to them. Kou-kun’s our only man for the rest of our lives 」

「 Indeed. I’ll be careful too. Kou-kun’s the only special man in our world, don’t cause weird misunderstandings. Izumi too 」

「 Uuu 」

Izumi’s trembling.

In the short time where it’s just the three of them, she became completely a spoiled child for Maki.

「 Maki, you need to discipline her 」

「 Yes, Marika. Come here, Izumi. Get used to Kou-kun, even just a bit. Kou-kun will always be with us from now on, and you’re our pet, Izumi 」

「 Yes. Get ready for it, Izumi 」

The two owners told Izumi.

「 Uuu, I understand nyan, Maki-oneesama, Marika-oneesama 」

「 Kou-kun too, tell him that you’ll do your best 」

「 Yes, Kou-kun-san, I’ll do my best nyan 」

She’s become a weird character, but oh well.

「 Okay, good, let’s hug then. Oh, while we’re at it, let’s have everyone do I 」

Mariko suggested, then Mariko hugs Izumi first.

「 Best regards, Izumi-chan 」

「 Best regards, nyan 」

After that, Ruriko also smiled and hugged Izumi.

「 Please treat me well 」

「 Likewise, nyan 」

Then, Michi

「 Regards 」

「 Nyaan 」

Luna’s last.

「 Best regards 」

「 Best regards, nyan 」

In the end, Izumi’s preference for girls is stronger.

She lives in an all-girls school and dorm, and she seems to have accepted the idea of hugging girls while naked without much resistance.

However.

「 Hug Kou-kun too 」

「 Uuu 」

Even when Maki ordered her, she was still hesitating to hug me.

「 You already had sex so don’t be shy now 」

Mariko pushed Izumi’s back and I hugged Izumi.

Her big breasts pushed and squeeze my chest.

Yeah, she’s small enough to fit in my arms, quite fluffy and cuddly.

「 Please take care of me nyan 」

Izumi whispered bashfully.

「 She’s not accustomed to it, but Izumi-chan will get used to having sex with Kou. And from how I see it earlier, Izumi-chan’s the type who would get addicted to sex 」

Mariko said.

「 When Kou’s embracing you like that, you remember the sex you just had, and you feel hot in your stomach 」

「 Uuuu 」

「 I know, I had that time too 」

Mariko said.

「 Me too, I get wet as soon as Onii-sama embraces me 」

「 Me too 」

Ruriko and Michi said.

「 But, things will be hard for Izumi-chan. You know, Maki-chan and Jasmine-chan are probably going abroad to study at a music college there after graduating from high school 」

Maki’s now a scholarship student of Kouzuki house’s foundation, and so she will.

Marika too, Minaho-neesan told her to work hard and study abroad with her.

「 But what about you Izumi-chan? Can you study abroad with your grades? If you can’t, then you’ll have to stay in Japan and wait for Maki-chan and Jasmine-chan to come back 」

「 !!! 」

Izumi trembles in my arms.

「 If that happens, then Izumi will have to be pregnant with my child as soon as she graduates from high school. Then, you’ll raise the child until Maki and Marika returns to Japan 」

「 Auu, auu, uuuu 」

「 If you don’t like it, then Izumi has to work better with her voice and get to a level where you can study abroad. If you think that all you have to do is be Maki and Marika’s pet, then you’re mistaken 」

I give her a warning.

Otherwise, Maki would be too spoiled, and that would interfere with Maki and Marika’s piano practice.

「 Izumi, answer Kou-kun 」

Maki’s disciplining her.

「 I understand, nyan 」

Izumi answers me while I hug her.

「 When you’re good enough to go study abroad, then you don’t have to worry about the cost. I’ll get you a scholarship to Torii electronics 」

Mariko?

「 I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to get a scholarship grant from the Kouzuki house’s foundation, after all, they need to grade everything. Maki will only be the one in your music high school to receive the scholarship from the Kouzuki house’s foundation. That will change the way people look at Maki 」

Kouzuki house’s scholars are not selected for their talent on the level

It’s better if Maki’s the only one recognized for having such special talent.

So, it’s better to have the Torii house grant scholarship for Izumi instead of the Kouzuki house

「 As for Jasmine-chan, Minaho-san’s got you covered 」

Mariko’s right, Minaho-neesan specially dotes on Megu and Marika among the sisters.

「 Kou, you can let go of Izumi-chan, give Maki-chan a hug too 」

Mariko?

「 Maki-chan also just became Kou’s woman, so teach her what it means to be embraced by a man 」

I see.

Right.

I also haven’t given Maki a hug.

「 Yeah, come here Maki 」

I let go of Izumi and hugged Maki.

「 Kou-kun 」

「 Don’t be too stiff, just entrust it to me. Lean on me 」

「 Okay 」

She’s taller than Izumi, but Maki is also slender.

I hold her delicate body that looks like it might break and I embraced her tightly.

「 You had it hard so far, but from now on, Maki will be safe. I will protect you in place of your father 」

I whispered to Maki’s ear and then…

Maki;

「 Yes….yes…Kou-kun…Kou-kun, I…. 」

Maki’s eyes started tearing up.

The anxiety she’s been building up since her father’s death has been released once and for all.

「 It’s okay now, Kou-kun’s here, and we’re here too…it’s not just us here, the whole family will keep Maki safe, so it’s okay now 」

Mariko embraced Maki from the back.

「 Yes…please take care of me 」

Maki cries on my chest.

「 Kou-kun, me too 」

Marika hugged me on my back and also cried.

Marika must’ve remembered the time when she just joined our family, and couldn’t contain her emotions.

「 Maki-oneesama? Marika-oneesama? 」

Izumi’s dumbfounded, unable to understand the reason why Maki and Marika started crying.

This is why she’s a pet.

She’s a cute girl, but she can’t join the family as a person.

「 That’s good. Let them stay like that for a while 」

Mariko told Izumi instead of the two who were crying.

◇ ◇ ◇

Maki and Marika stopped crying just a few minutes ago.

Now, they’re smiling.

Girls are like that.

「 Okay, those who finished washing get dressed now 」

Kinoshita-san came from the washing room and told us.

「 Boss wants you to change into these jerseys 」

Oh yeah, I did put on my best suit to meet the elder Matsumoto in this hotel

The meeting is already over so I’m thankful that I have comfortable clothes to change on.

Minaho-neesan prepared these for me.

She told Katsuko-nee to load it in the car from the mansion.

「 I already retrieved the suit and leather shoes 」

Kinoshita-san reported.

「 Thanks 」

「 Glad to be of help 」

As usual, she responds like she’s an Izakaya employee.

「 We have to put on our clothes. The people in front of the mansion would be suspicious if we don’t 」

Ruriko said.

The police officers are always on surveillance duty in front of the mansion.

Tonight, Ruriko dressed up and they saw her leaving the mansion in a limousine.

That’s why Ruriko has to return home in that same look.

「 Then, I have to do the same 」

Mariko, the daughter of the president of Torii electronics, who was in the same car, smiled wryly.

On the other hand, I…

I was in the same limousine, but they don’t pay as much attention to me.

I could change to my jersey and they won’t find it strange.

「 We don’t have time, so no asking Kou to put on our underwear. Put it on yourselves 」

Mariko told the other girls.

「 Do you usually have Kou-kun put on your underwear on you? 」

Maki asks Marika.

「 Everyone in the family loves to fawn on Kou-kun that way 」

「 Especially Misuzu-chan and Agnes-chan, they love asking Onii-sama to put on and take off their underwear 」

Ruriko laughs.

「 Misuzu-oneesama also lets Master wipe her body with the bathrobe 」

Michi changed topics.

「 However, she also loves wiping Master’s body with the towel and helping him get dressed 」

「 Everyone loves physical intimacy, that includes me 」

Everyone’s wiping off their bodies in the changing room.

Then, we put on our clothes.

Kinoshita-san and Kurose Anju have gathered the items taken off and scattered in the room.

The basket for me has briefs, a white shirt, a top and bottom jersey, and sandals.

Yeah, this is easy.

Then, the three collars I got from Minaho-neesan earlier.

「 Huh, this is weird nyan 」

Hmm, Izumi?

「 Where’s my underwear? Also, my top uniform? I mean, there’s only my coat, skirt, and socks here nyan 」

Izumi showed up wearing her high-school uniform, black leather jacket, and delinquent girl makeup.

Then, of course, her underwear.

Oh, I see.

Another training.

「 Izumi, you’re going back with us without underwear. Also, put on that jacket naked 」

I told her.

「 T-That’s…you mean I don’t get to wear anything below the jacket nyan? 」

「 Exactly, also, no panties 」

「 That just makes me a pervert nyan! 」

Izumi resists, but…

「 Why not? Also, Maki and Marika, put this on Izumi 」

I gave them the collar like it’s natural.

「 Oh right. Izumi’s our pet after all 」

Marika accepted it right away

「 Let’s do it together, Maki 」

「 Y-Yes, Marika. Pets got collars on them… 」

If there’s no distinction between people, then girls like Izumi will get carried away.

She needs to be constantly aware that she’s a pet.

「 T-That’s…going on me nyan? 」

「 Yes, you’re our pet, so it’s natural 」

Marika makes it clear.

「 You can dress the way you are in the past at school and other public places, but Izumi must be dressed appropriately as a pet in other places 」

「 Indeed, Maki’s right 」

「 We’ll put on this collar, then you’ll dress up as Kou-kun told you to. No underwear. On top, you put on your jacket and nothing else. Good? 」

「 Do as we tell you 」

「 Uuu, I understand nyan 」

Izumi surrenders.

「 Don’t make that face, come here, I’ll put the collar on you 」

「 Do it like this, Maki 」

Marika took off the clasp of the collar and put it on Izumi’s neck together with Maki.

「 Uuu. Nyan 」

「 Don’t tighten it too much Maki give it space, it’s cuter when it’s dangling 」

「 I see. You’re right. Izumi’s so cute 」

「 Nyan 」

Izumi now has a collar attached to her neck.

「 By the way, Kou… 」

Mariko asks me while looking at Izumi and the girls.

「 Maki-chan’s sister, Miki-chan… 」

Matsumoto Miki, the violin girl.

「 What will you do with her? 」

That’s…

「 If this goes on, it’ll end up with Kou forcing her, right? 」

Mariko said. Maki was shocked and turned around.

「 She’s being stubborn, or should I say that she’s quite rebellious to Kou 」

「 It’s not really rebellious, she just hates our methods 」

I replied.

That’s understandable.

We just had sex continuously with multiple women, turn a girl into a pet, and did other things that normal society won’t allow to happen in front of an ordinary girl.

「 I don’t think a girl with that kind of personality would bend her ideas unless she’s forced to give in 」

Forced to surrender.

That would be rape.

「 That might be the end if it goes the same way, but.. 」

Maki’s listening.

「 But, I’m going to put it on hold for tonight, we’re not progressing any further 」

I know that I’m fatigued.

We shouldn’t make any big decisions or act right now.

「 It’s okay to put it off, but Nii-san… 」

Luna, who has been quiet so far, speaks up.

「 I think those that need progress have to make progress 」

Progress?

「 Nii-san, use your powers 」

The shrine maiden speaks with a serious look.

「 What do you mean? 」

Using the Miko power?

Do you mean manipulating Miki-san’s mind to turn her obedient?

「 No, that’s not it, Nii-san 」

Luna replied to my thoughts.

Hmm.

Reading thoughts.

「 Oh. It’s that… 」

Luna sighed looking dumbfounded.

「 I know it already. Who Matsumoto Miki-san’s dating… 」

Right…

Matsumoto Miki is in a relationship with a guy.

Then, that guy demanded Miki send him a lewd photo.

Miki-san took a selfie of herself in underwear and sent it to the guy.

That’s why we…

We need to destroy that image.

「 We won’t be able to solve that problem until tomorrow, but we can still gather information about the boy tonight 」

Luna…

When Luna used her Miko power to make Miki-san talk about her relationship.

She was reading inside Miki-san’s mind.

The information Miki-san didn’t tell us, in short.

「 His name, class, club. I know it all 」

「 If we know that, then we can gather information 」

Mariko said.

「 Or should I say that Minaho-oneesan already wants to gather information? She knows that I know the minute details, but… 」

Luna also saw Minaho-neesan’s thoughts.

「 But, Nii-san’s managing the Miko power, so she can’t tell me to give her the information she wants 」

The four shrine maidens leave things to me so they can function without problems.

For anyone else, even Minaho-neesan, who plans more and more and gets things done ahead of time, she has to talk to me.

They can’t use the Takakura shrine maidens and their power without going through me.

「 But why is Minaho-neesan not asking me to lend Luna’s power to her? If so, then I can do that right away 」

「 That’s because Minaho-oneesan thinks that she shouldn’t 」

……。

Miko power, it’s a fearsome power.

If I just casually let Minaho-neesan use Luna and the girls’ power, then…

That’s going to be a lot of trouble.

They can freely manipulate a person’s mind and body.

Reading them, changing them.

It’s easy for them to disable a person.

A shrine maiden who overuses her power and goes out of control will bring ruin to those around her and herself.

Luna’s mother and Koyomi-chans’ mother died that way.

「 Miki-chan’s mind isn’t that much. Miki-san won’t be affected and it won’t break me either. But, Minaho-oneesan still won’t ask what’s in Miki-san’s mind without Nii-san knowing 」

Luna said.

「 She’s thorough when she decides on what she has to do 」

Minaho-neesan.

「 And so, Nii-san, please order me. Tell me to give Minaho-oneesan the information about Miki-san’s boyfriend 」

This is another responsibility I have to bear.

It’s not Minaho-neesan, but I have the responsibility to give the instructions.

「 Okay, Luna, tell Minaho-neesan the information you’ve gathered 」

「 Okay, Nii-san 」

Luna, who just finished putting on her clothes, left the changing room.

She’s going to Minaho-neesan.

「 What was that about? 」

Maki looks curious.

Maki and Izumi don’t know about the Miko power.

「 That’s for another time. It takes a long time to explain 」

Mariko cuts in.

「 That aside, I also have something to tell Kou 」

Huh?

「 Have a bit more leeway. Kou’s got so much power and a lot of families who can help you 」

「 Yeah, I know that, but.. 」

I replied.

「 No, Kou doesn’t get it. Isn’t that why you were cold to Izumi-chan? 」

I recall…

When I first met Igarashi Izumi…

Izumi was quite hostile to us.

I also gave Izumi the same hostile attitude.

「 I think that Kou’s a bit too cold that I thought that Izumi had something behind her back without us knowing. That Kou might’ve heard something from Kouzuki SS 」

Mariko was under the impression that Izumi might be one of those sent by enemies according to Kouzuki SS.

「 Everyone in the mansion thought of the same. Kou was so cold to Izumi-chan, so they thought that there was a reason behind it, that’s why everyone there was cold to Izumi-chan too 」

It was my influence.

In fact, Igarashi Izumi wasn’t hostile to us.

It’s because she wants to protect Maki, whom she admires, in her own way.

The awkward delinquent makeup was only on the level where it’s just pleasant.

Despite that, I overreacted.

Mariko and even the other girls saw Izumi as a danger.

「 It’s okay that Master’s not always optimistic about the situation, but there are limits too 」

Michi

「 Master, you need to give a bit more leeway, and stay dignified 」

I made a bad decision with Ishigami Mizuki as well.

If I observed calmly, then she’s the daughter of the noble family, and yet, I only saw her as a hostile force at our first meeting.

Today too.

「 You’re right, I need to have composure. I’m reflecting on it 」

Those were my thoughts for the past two days.

I’m not being myself.

「 Yes, that’s enough reflection, is everyone wearing their clothes already? 」

Mariko smiled gently.

「 Then, let’s head to the next stage 」

Yeah, I’ve reflected on myself now.

I need to move forward.

The night isn’t over yet.
