Chapter 105-106 – After The Fireworks – 2
[POV Change]
Sakuragi Yuka grew up in a very affluent family.
Her father was a reasonably successful department head at a company, and the Japanese economy was doing well.
Thanks to that, her family was well-off, and they lived a happy life day by day.
"W-what? The company went bankrupt?!"
That was until the economic bubble burst in Japan.
The nightmare of the bubble had plunged the entire nation into a deep recession. It also engulfed the Sakuragi family.
Her father was laid off, and her mother, who had usually taken care of the household and Yuka's education, began working part-time to make ends meet.
Fortunately, they didn't end up on the streets immediately, as sometimes happened in Japanese society.
Thanks to her parents' quick response, the financial losses were relatively small. The problem, however, was the endless recession that gripped Japan.
Her father tried over and over again to get back on his feet.
Fortunately, his efforts eventually paid off. He secured a position at a smaller but more stable company than his previous one.
However, because it was a smaller company, the family still struggled to live comfortably.
Yuka's mother continued working part-time at places like supermarkets. And she, with very little pocket money and no reason to go out, devoted herself entirely to her studies at home.
As a result, Yuka frequently ranked among the top students in her entire school. And that was where the problem began.
Yuka became convinced during her high school years.
'With this deviation score… I can get into a prestigious university.'
She believed that with her abilities, she could be admitted to a university that every Japanese citizen had heard of.
It wasn't just wishful thinking. Her university-related deviation score tests and her teachers all confirmed it. However, there was one problem…
'Tuition is a burden…'
She couldn't afford to attend the university she wanted with the money she was currently earning from her part-time job.
'I might be able to manage if I get a scholarship, but…'
Even then, the amount was still dangerously close for comfort, and Yuka couldn't help but worry.
After much deliberation, she came to a conclusion…
'I have to sell my first time.'
She decided to engage in compensated dating.
It might sound like the thoughts of a total slut. But it was a conclusion she had reached after careful, serious consideration. To be precise, she wasn't planning on selling her body consistently.
'I'll sell my first time for a high price and then work diligently at my part-time job.'
She decided to sell her first time, the most important experience for a woman, for the highest price possible.
When Yuka first considered this, she had no intention of doing such a thing.
She had thought she could simply work diligently at her part-time job. Even then, it seemed impossible to cover both her living expenses and tuition.
That was why she planned to make a big score to pay for her tuition first and then earn her living expenses through part-time work.
One might wonder if her first time was worth that much, but Yuka was quite beautiful.
At the very least, there would be a line of men willing to pay for her first time.
Although her skin was slightly tanned from spending time with her friends, there were still plenty of people who desired her.
That was why she resolved to sell her first time for a high price.
After making that decision, Yuka mobilized all her connections to find someone who was wealthy, not too old, and not looking for a committed relationship.
It was a condition that seemed almost impossible, but surprisingly, such a person existed.
It was Sato Daichi, who would later become her husband. Remarkably, Daichi turned out to be the perfect match for Yuka.
He believed that a virgin was more suitable than a street prostitute to lose his own virginity. He also wanted a relationship he would never see again, one that would leave him free to focus on his future success.
But couldn't that person have been anyone other than Yuka?
Rumor had it that the reason he specifically wanted Yuka was because she resembled a gyaru he had admired but never been able to talk to in high school.
In any case, Yuka sold herself the first time to pay for her tuition, and at the same time…
"Two lines?!"
She was pregnant.
Thanks to her unusual condition, Yuka quickly realized she was carrying a child.
Yuka had struggled deeply when she first found out about Takuya. No, she was beyond struggling; she hated the child.
She had believed her carefully planned life would lead smoothly to a good university. Now, it seemed about to be completely derailed. But…
"That's right. This child is innocent…"
She absolutely didn't want to have an abortion. Even though she hadn't planned for it, the child was innocent.
So, she told her parents the whole truth and contacted Daichi to inform him of the news.
At first, Daichi asked if there was proof that it was his child, but Yuka silenced him by reminding him that it had been her first and last experience.
With her father's tears—tears she had never seen before—Yuka's belly slowly swelled, and soon she took a break from school to prepare for childbirth.
For the record, Daichi had some conscience. He paid for all the hospital expenses, the delivery, and the postpartum care without hesitation.
The child she gave birth to after all the twists and turns was… truly extraordinary.
"I—is this child really mine?"
"Yes. Please hold your baby, mother."
He was beautiful beyond words.
His small eyes couldn't open properly, so he struggled to lift his gaze. He diligently turned his small, round head to look around. His tiny hands reached desperately for his mother's hand.
"Ah… ah… Aaaah…"
And when he finally found her mother, a smile of pure happiness bloomed on his face, which had been frowning just moments before.
That day, Yuka realized that she had gained something truly precious in her life, something she could never trade for anything.

"Sooo… I always try to give him only the best…"
"Hic, I get it… Yuka… Let's go to sleep now…"
Yuka, who had returned home, couldn't handle the shock of the day. She ended up drinking a lot of alcohol with Ayaka.
How much had she drunk? A can of beer… Let's just leave it at that.
Anyway, Yuka, who was completely drunk, was supposed to go to her room to sleep. Ayaka had told her to do so. But…
"Hehe. Takuyang!"
"Uhm… Yuka… Mom, what, uh?"
She didn't go to her room. Instead, she stumbled toward Takuya's room.
Takuya was just about to fall asleep when Yuka suddenly opened the door, startling him. But then…
-Thud.
Thanks to Yuka diving onto him, his drowsiness vanished in an instant.
"Squeak…!"
Along with that sound, Takuya was now fully awake. He tried to send Yuka back to her room.
"Hehehehe, rubbing my cheek on my beloved Takuya's cheek♥ Rub♥ Rub♥"
As Yuka grabbed his face and pressed her cheek against his, Takuya sighed and let her enjoy herself.
She must have had a hard day. It wasn't the real Takuya, but it was his body, so he thought she could at least receive some comfort.
After being tormented by Yuka for a long time, Takuya finally managed to close his eyes when Yuka fell asleep in his arms.
…

[POV Change]
In the very late hours of the night, when Takuya had fallen asleep as Yuka's comfort doll…
Thump…! Thump…!
The house was normally filled only with the soft sounds of insects. Suddenly, the echo of footsteps pierced the silence.
If Takuya had been sensitive to sounds, he would have noticed immediately. But he was exhausted, worn out from numerous sex sessions and listening to Yuka's drunken antics, and he didn't stir.
As the sound of someone approaching grew closer to Takuya's room…
Click…!
-Squeak.
That someone—or no, Ayaka had entered.
"Hehe, you're sleeping soundly?"
Ayaka, who was supposed to be drunk and asleep with Yuka, confidently stepped inside.
To be precise, she was wearing a sheer, see-through outfit that was revealing everything—no bra, no underwear…
Ayaka knelt down and looked at Yuka and Takuya, who were sleeping peacefully in bed. A strange, perhaps greedy, smile played across her lips.
"You two are so cute~"
She reached out and poked Takuya's cheek.
"Ugh. I, I'll correct it…"
"Hehe..."
Ayaka laughed softly. She was clearly enjoying the way Takuya's face scrunched up in discomfort.
"Mom knows best that Takuya has changed~"
It was something that would have horrified Takuya if he were awake. But he wasn't, so there was nothing he could do.
"But I love you, Takuya. No matter what anyone says, you are my son…"
Those words were sincere. Ayaka loved Takuya—enough to abandon her own family.
No, to be precise, she truly loved her current son, unlike the previous empty shell.
Furthermore, she spoke to her precious friend, who had long desired that empty shell more than the real one.
"Yuka, you'll know soon enough how precious Takuya is to us."
Ayaka said this as she tidied her friend's disheveled hair with a cute, almost gentle smile.
After watching the two of them sleep for a long time, Ayaka finally straightened her bent knees after about ten minutes.
"Well then, sweet dreams, you two~♥"
She muttered softly. She then gently close the door behind her before leaving.
"Hehe, Takuya…"
"Umm. Uh, Mom…"
Takuya was still far too ignorant of the true nature of the people in this house.
