Chapter 319: Mutual Benefit
With the agreement reached, a strange silence suddenly fell over the clubroom.
Yuki Nonaka and Rias exchanged glances for a moment before Yuki spoke up, "Before the official documents arrive, I hope we can begin surveillance duties first."
"Are only the two of you responsible for the surveillance?" Rias looked the pair of beautiful Hero Clan sisters up and down before asking in return.
"Yes, just us. One will be responsible for close surveillance of Haruto Uesugi, while the other will observe the activities of the Occult Research Club."
Perhaps knowing that only females would be allowed here, as sending males for surveillance would certainly not be approved, the Hero Clan village had indeed assigned this task only to the Nonaka sisters.
As for why they didn't send one male and one female, with the male responsible for close surveillance of Haruto...
Yuki Nonaka recalled the words spoken by the village elders at the time, a faint blush appearing on her usually cold face, though she quickly suppressed it.
"If it's just the two of you, there's no problem at all."
They had never intended to cause any trouble in the human world. If the Hero Clan was genuinely concerned and sent people to supervise, she had no reason not to cooperate.
A smirk tugged at Rias's lips, "However, we hope you won't casually disclose our private matters."
"After all, with close surveillance of Haruto, you'll inevitably see certain things, like... positions in bed, for instance."
Ambiguous words echoed in the room, and Akeno Himejima also revealed a meaningful smile, narrowing her eyes as she carefully examined the beautiful Hero Clan sisters before her.
Yuki Nonaka could barely maintain her composure, but Kurumi Nonaka couldn't.
Recalling the elders' instructions, the adorable beauty with light purple pigtails blushed instantly.
Her shimmering eyes secretly glanced at Rias and Akeno Himejima, taking in their criminally seductive figures, and she seemed to conjure up some indecent images in her mind. Instinctively, her delicate little hands covered her face.
"Senior Rias, thank you for your understanding and cooperation."
Yuki Nonaka sighed helplessly at her foolish younger sister and said, "To carry out our duties more effectively, Kurumi and I would like to join the Occult Research Club and move in to live with you."
"You can move in with us—there are plenty of rooms—but joining the Occult Research Club is out of the question."
Rias smiled faintly, "Though it's called a club, it's actually made up of my family."
"While I can't agree to let you join the club right now, you're free to come and go as you please, just like Naruse."
Mio Naruse and Maria came directly seeking refuge and were considered part of the family from the start, but strictly speaking, they hadn't joined the Occult Research Club either.
Yuki Nonaka said nothing more. The purpose of joining the club was to monitor Rias and the others at all times, and with this level of access, whether they officially joined made little difference.
When lunch break ended and Haruto and Basara Toujou entered the classroom, they happened to run into Yuki and Kurumi Nonaka returning as well.
Through the soul network connection, Haruto already knew their purpose.
Having two beautiful and cute high school girls as monitors was something neither he nor the other members of the Occult Research Club had any objections to.
As for the so-called close surveillance, facing such sweet and attractive beauties, Haruto not only didn't find it troublesome but was already scheming how to use this opportunity to charm and win them over.
He had participated in countless orgies and tried every trick in the book.
Being watched by beautiful girls? Did they expect him to feel nervous or awkward?
"Yuki, Kurumi, long time no see."
Facing each other, Toujou Basara couldn't continue pretending not to see them and took the initiative to greet them.
"Basara-nii, long time no see."
Nonaka Yuki gave a faint nod, while Nonaka Kurumi politely greeted him.
The adults in the Hero Clan village held various grudges against Toujou Basara, not only because he couldn't control his power well but also because of his background.
However, given Toujou Jin's formidable strength, they couldn't go too far.
But these matters had nothing to do with the village children. To the Nonaka sisters, Toujou Basara was just a talented companion who had suddenly been taken away by his father.
Toujou Basara rubbed his nose. "Yuki is still the same, feels even colder than when we were kids."
Her sky-blue short hair, smooth as high-quality silk, swayed slightly as Nonaka Yuki glanced at him before focusing her attention back on Haruto.
Nonaka Kurumi pouted and muttered, "My sister is actually very kind, she just seems a bit cold."
"Is that so?" Toujou Basara shrugged, not quite convinced.
But it was none of his business. Noticing that Nonaka Yuki and Nonaka Kurumi seemed to be staring intently at Haruto, he decisively chose to make an escape using the restroom as an excuse.
"Well, you guys chat first, I'm going to the bathroom."
Women would only slow down his path to becoming stronger, especially troublesome ones from the Hero Clan. If he could avoid contact, Toujou Basara absolutely didn't want anything to do with them.
Before leaving, he quietly patted Haruto's back.
Good brother, I leave the rest to you. Hang in there!
If you're going to leave, then hurry up and don't interfere with my conquest.
Good brother, do your best!
After their silent exchange, Toujou Basara vanished down the corridor in a flash, leaving Haruto alone with the pair of Hero Clan sisters.
Watching Toujou Basara's hurried retreat and then looking at the charming high school girls before him, Haruto suddenly had a strange thought—wasn't this a case of mutual benefit?
Nonaka Yuki noticed the subtle interaction between Haruto and Toujou Basara but paid it no mind.
The village hadn't explicitly labeled Toujou Basara a traitor nor issued any related tasks. As long as he didn't interfere with her current mission, she wouldn't waste a single moment on him.
Beside her, the petite Nonaka Kurumi blushed slightly, lifting her head to gaze at Haruto's handsome face and the alluring collarbone at his neck.
Haruto's Cuckold Protagonist Template couldn't affect powerful individuals like them, but his good looks, well-proportioned physique, and the charisma cultivated from being surrounded by beauties still had a devastating impact on inexperienced young girls.
Like eating meals, spending every day among women had shaped Haruto's every move to align with the aesthetic preferences of beautiful girls.
Somewhat similar to Jia Baoyu from Dream of the Red Chamber, he naturally found it easier to win girls' favor.
Nonaka Yuki was actually quite interested in Haruto too, but unlike her foolish younger sister, she wouldn't show it outright on her face.
While the Nonaka sisters stared obsessively at Haruto, he was also carefully admiring their figures.
Rias and the others were beautiful, top-tier beauties, especially in the chest department—each one was exceptional.
But overall, girls like Naruse Mio and Nonaka Yuki were more appealing to him. Every part of them, from head to toe, perfectly matched his aesthetic preferences.
In terms from his past life, this art style just hit Haruto's preferences right in the sweet spot.
"Yuki and Kurumi." Haruto didn't conceal his appreciation for the two girls, yet he wasn't mindlessly lustful to the point of appearing lecherous.
Maintaining a polite distance, he asked courteously: "May I address you like this? It's sometimes confusing when I call you Nonaka-san."
Nonaka Yuki and Nonaka Kurumi collected their thoughts. The boy before them was indeed handsome with an excellent physique and good temperament - a perfect boyfriend material.
But recalling the information provided by the elders, they also knew exactly how much of a playboy Haruto was.
Initially, they couldn't understand why those girls were willing, but after seeing Haruto in person, they seemed to comprehend somewhat.
Just like how men, when seeing their ideal beauty, would willingly be played even knowing she's a heartbreaker, as long as they could have one encounter.
Women are human too, equally lustful, and would have similar thoughts.
However, innocent young girls often yearn more for beautiful, pure love.
Therefore, Nonaka Yuki and Nonaka Kurumi suppressed their improper thoughts and steeled themselves to deal with this man who was very dangerous to women.
But thinking of the other task assigned by the elders, their hearts wavered again.
Thus, Nonaka Kurumi's facial expressions became quite spectacular.
One moment shy, the next curious, then turning to disgust, and finally becoming conflicted.
Haruto felt even the face-changing association should award her a certificate.
Nonaka Yuki's heart was equally complicated, but with her naturally expressionless face, her features showed little change.
However, gazing at that cold, exquisite beauty like a flower on a high peak, Haruto's heart burned even more intensely.
Though Koneko was also expressionless, she gave off a completely different feeling from this Nonaka Yuki.
The former made people want to tease her, while the latter made people want to conquer her.
"Fine."
Nonaka Yuki said: "Also, starting today, I'll be responsible for monitoring you closely."
"What about using the toilet and sleeping?"
Nonaka Yuki found it strange that Haruto didn't ask for the reason, but still answered honestly: "At your current strength level, you shouldn't need to use the toilet anymore. As for bathing and sleeping, both must be within my sight."
