"Gu—"
"Guru—"
The next day, Mu Xiaoxiao woke up abruptly from starvation. When he opened his eyes in the early morning, his sharp gaze stayed on the ordinary ceiling for a moment. His first reaction wasn't to check his surroundings, but to touch his stomach.
'Damn it! So hungry.'
Come to think of it, he hadn't eaten dinner last night. Young people these days could skip a meal, no problem. But considering the exaggerated physical consumption of a whole night with three people? That was a big problem.
Hey, his physical effort these days was commendable.
His sharp gaze fell on the curtains blown by the strong wind. Gradually, he realized with surprise that the bed was empty. He was alone. Though the warm blanket still held a strong girlish fragrance—
Two fragrances mixed together, making the air in his bedroom much sweeter.
But both Chisato and Kisaragi Anna had disappeared.
Wait—no. Kisaragi Anna was in the room, sitting on the soft chair by the window, combing her hair. She'd always worn a twin ponytail hairstyle, but now her hair wasn't braided. Soft, beautiful silver hair draped over her shoulders.
Combined with the unique temperament emanating from the young girl, she had the aura of a newlywed young woman.
She was doing makeup.
"Xiaoxiao, you're awake?" Noticing movement on the bed, Kisaragi Anna, who was applying lip gloss, turned her head. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly. A smile flashed at the corners of her eyes, freshly painted with eyeshadow. "Good morning~"
"Good morning. Did you clean the room?"
The underwear, stockings, and various items scattered everywhere last night had made the room a mess—proof of how much fun they'd had. But now everything had disappeared. Clean, tidy floors, desk, and wardrobe.
Bright windows opened... it was raining outside.
Pitter-patter...
It seemed like last night had been just a dream.
Of course it couldn't be a dream. The ♡ and abilities in his status window proved that.
"I cleaned it." 'Even though I'm a gyaru, that doesn't mean I'm bad at housework. The little idiot looked genuinely surprised.' Kisaragi Anna glanced at his dumbfounded expression, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"As for Chi-chan, she's cooking downstairs... Xiaoxiao, I think I heard your stomach growl?" Kisaragi Anna raised an eyebrow and teased.
"I didn't eat last night and was exhausted. Of course I'm hungry." Mu Xiaoxiao lazily got up from bed and stretched. Compared to previous days, he felt much better.
A few days ago, he'd only managed six or seven times a night at most. When he woke the next day, he felt weak and needed half a day to recover.
But last night—though he hadn't counted exactly—rough estimate was definitely over ten times! Under such terrifying exertion, his body felt no discomfort now... He'd become a sex monster.
Maybe he could even go a few more rounds right now.
The [Meditation] ability was really useful.
'It's over. I've completely turned into a ruthless spraying machine.'
'A big step forward on the path to becoming the Kidney Emperor!'
"Who told you to be so... woo." Kisaragi Anna stopped mid-sentence. She wanted to say he was messing around—but wasn't she messing around too? She wanted to say he did too much, but she'd been just as into it. She felt no regret.
After a moment, she could only spit out one word with her pink lips. "Pervert~"
"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Putting on clothes, Mu Xiaoxiao stood behind Kisaragi Anna and stretched his neck. "You're hungry in the morning too. Still have time for makeup?"
"How could we eat before you got up? Of course we waited for you. As for makeup... a girl's makeup is very important." She raised her white, slender finger before Mu Xiaoxiao, shaking it to show off her glittering golden manicure.
"Just like this manicure. Needs proper adjustment every day."
"Troublesome, but girls enjoy it." She spoke with a teachable attitude. But after finishing, a shy blush appeared on the white-haired gyaru's face.
"And... for the boy you like, spending a little time dressing up, showing your most beautiful side in front of him—that's also a girl's dream."
'I feel like you're almost the same with or without makeup.' He didn't say that. "You're a gyaru. Why are you talking like an innocent girl?"
"Because I'm a gyaru, I understand, okay? And why am I not an innocent girl?" Kisaragi Anna snorted softly. First love, first kiss, first night—all taken by Mu Xiaoxiao.
'This bastard~'
Facing the girl's red eyes, thinking of last night, he saw a look of lust in them. Now that lust was gone, replaced by a touch of deep affection.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed.
In the silence, the door suddenly opened. Cook Chisato came in wearing an apron. "Xiaoxiao~ Good morning. Food's ready."
'After so many rounds last night, why doesn't Mu-kun look tired? His body is amazing... Good thing I made plenty of nourishing dishes.'
Before he could speak, the girl approached. The petite, lovely beauty stood before him, reaching out to smooth the folds of his collar, tidy his messy neckline, then ruffled his hair.
Pressing down the raised strands.
"Okay. Hurry downstairs to eat. I didn't eat anything last night either—I'm so hungry~ Anna-chan, come too."
---
At the kotatsu, Chisato and Kisaragi Anna sat left and right. Hands resting on their cheeks, they watched the boy they liked take his seat after washing up. Whether coincidence or intentional—
Both girls sat beside him, sandwiching Mu Xiaoxiao between them.
"Xiaoxiao, eat more." Chisato brushed back his hair, picked up food for him, beaming. "Don't worry~ I prepared extra lunch for today. Made plenty on purpose."
"Lunch boxes?" Kisaragi Anna was also picking up food for Mu Xiaoxiao, stacking his small bowl high like playing Jenga. "Chi-chan, I get one too, right?"
"Of course. I specially made three. Anna-chan gets one too."
Chisato smiled brightly.
Not just in words—Mu Xiaoxiao could clearly feel Chisato's love in her expressions and eyes. From time to time, she shot him bold, shy glances.
That delicate, beautiful face was full of love.
Besides Chisato, Kisaragi Anna was the same. When he first met this gyaru, she'd been a domineering, arrogant girl. Now, except for occasional tsundere moments, she was just a girl addicted to his love essence.
The two beautiful girls obediently leaned beside him, hugging him from left and right. Silver-bell laughter occasionally rang out at the dinner table. Their gentle movements. Their affectionate gazes...
It might be fun for someone else. But for Mu Xiaoxiao... it was a bit complicated.
'Sweet love?'
'He never intended to get distracted. He just wanted to simply indulge, greedily take their bodies, take the rewards. So why... why does it feel like he's dating them now? Did he misunderstand? He's just a ruthless strengthening machine!'
'Tsk. These tool women not only want his body—they want to fall in love with him. Too much!'
Well, he was just complaining. He couldn't push away the beautiful girls obsessed with him, clinging close. Now Mu Xiaoxiao had to admit—he'd thought of them as tools at the beginning.
But unknowingly, they'd also carved out a big place in his heart...
'At this rate, won't my [Absolute Control] become useless?!'
"Well... speaking of which, since I have the [Meditation] skill, I can handle a few more women—"
'Maybe it's time to find a new tool.'
