"Do you like it?"
She could've dropped the "Do" and the "?"
Kira definitely liked it. In fact, he loved it.
"Kiraa~kun~!" Saeko Busujima leaned forward slightly, her gaze soft and alluring.
Kira couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
He had to admit, being the city lord had its… perks.
Thinking for a second, Kira smiled at Saeko and teased, "You made your choice only yesterday."
"Yes," she said softly, her tone as smooth as silk. "Just one day. I don't need to hesitate."
"Saeko... But still—"
"Kira-kun," she interrupted, smiling in that confident, sultry way of hers. "I've made my choice."
She knew exactly what she was doing.
That was her nature—Saeko never hesitated once she'd decided on something. She didn't waste time on doubt. And with that, there was no need for more words.
It had been a long, intense night that left Kira completely drained. He couldn't help wondering if Saeko would end up pregnant after how many times he released his load inside.
By the end, Saeko was utterly exhausted, barely able to move. While some white fluid kept coming out of her... holes.

The next morning, sunlight streamed across the room.
When Kira woke, Saeko was already in the bathroom freshening up.
Breakfast? Neither of them really felt like eating. And so Kira entered the bathroom for another quicky.
...
A few hours later, it was time for a real breakfast. Kira had grilled fish, white rice, and a small dessert.
And Saeko? She had already eaten the same, but instead of dessert, she chose something else.
"Ohhhhh~"
A moment later, Saeko emerged from under the table and gulped, swallowing everything in her mouth.
...After a little cleaning—
"Let's go."
Kira naturally slipped an arm around her slender waist, his fingers brushing against the soft curve beneath her dark purple kimono.
"Mmm~"
Saeko gave a gentle, obedient nod.
Though, truth be told—her lips were numb, her body ached, her back and legs were sore, and even her feet felt weak.
As for why Saeko, exhausted as she was, still got up early?
Well... She knew she had to meet someone important today—Kira's aunt. The main Lady of the house.
Kira brought Saeko with him.
When they arrived, Matsuyoi and Kaguya were already having breakfast.
"Kiki," Matsuyoi greeted with a warm smile, standing up to set another place. She gave Saeko a quick once-over, and her eyes softened in quiet approval.
That figure—elegant, graceful, well-proportioned.
Even if Kira wasn't in a rush for children, this one would definitely bear them well.
"Aunt…" Saeko hesitated briefly, then spoke with gentle respect.
"Saeko, welcome to the family," Matsuyoi replied kindly, her smile like spring sunlight.
That simple response meant she accepted her already.
Saeko's face lit up in genuine relief.
"Mhm~"
Kaguya looked Saeko over from head to toe, nodding slightly.
Not bad.
Something about her was different today—her presence had settled. She carried herself with poise and warmth, graceful and refined.
Especially after a night of… being cherished.
Now she had that unmistakable aura—calm, feminine, composed.
The kind of woman you'd call a true Yamato Nadeshiko. That mature charm was practically radiating off her.
"Saeko."
"Kaguya."
The two women exchanged polite greetings.
Kira sat down to eat, leaving the small talk to his aunt, who took extra care to make Saeko feel welcome.
He had planned to eat in peace, but with everyone here, he didn't have much choice but to go along.
One thing that bothered him—well, more like embarrassed him—was how Matsuyoi still called him "Kiki".
Before his 18th birthday, that's what she always called him, but it sounded like a girl's name. So after he turned 18, he told her she should start calling him Kira now that he was an adult. But the moment she heard Saeko call him Kira-kun, it was like a switch flipped, and she slipped right back into her old habit almost instantly.
...
After breakfast, Kira skipped his usual morning training.
He sat quietly instead, sipping the tea that a Moon Rabbit had just prepared.
"Saeko," he asked, a curious look in his eyes, "yesterday I wanted to ask—when the zombie outbreak started, were you at home or at school?"
"At my family's dojo," Saeko replied softly, taking a sip of tea. "I was practicing with my sword. I didn't have much prepared, so when the outbreak hit, I got trapped there."
"I figured…"
Kira narrowed his eyes slightly. The story he knew from that world's "canon" had completely fallen apart.
After a pause, he continued. "Another thing—I checked most of the city. Besides you, I didn't detect any human life. Do you know of anyone else who might still be alive?"
"Shizuka Marikawa," Saeko answered immediately. "She was the school nurse. Before the outbreak, I contacted her—she was visiting a friend named Rika Minami. After it started, we managed to talk once. If nothing's gone wrong, they should still be together."
She spoke without hesitation.
In truth, once her supplies ran out, Saeko had gone searching for Shizuka. But she'd failed—blocked by hordes of zombies and even attacked by a terrifying mutated one.
"Shizuka Marikawa… Rika Minami…" Kira murmured thoughtfully, mulling over the names.
The story he knew was already in shambles. There was no point expecting it to follow the same path anymore.
"Kaguya," he said suddenly, "did you hear from Eirin? Any updates on what that zombie virus really is?"
Kaguya shook her head slightly, then gave a faint nod. "Eirin has sent word, Father. But…" her tone grew serious, "she sounded troubled. She said you shouldn't go back to that world for now. She'll be arriving tonight—she insists on speaking with you in person."
