Chapter 390: Pure-Hearted Troublemaker
The girl, still groggy upon waking, instinctively moved to answer the urgent knocking, but Haruto stopped her just in time.
"Yanagi, your clothes... You're not dressed!"
Haruto whispered as quietly as possible, "Don't open the door yet, just respond to your dad."
Slightly more alert, Yanagi looked at the four of them squeezed onto the small bed, gradually recalling the previous night's events, her fair, cute face flushing pink.
Before the girl's budding affection could fully blossom, urgent knocking at the door roused her.
The sunlight slanting through the curtains onto the floor proved it was already quite late. Following Haruto's instructions obediently, Yanagi responded through the closed door.
"Dad, I'm here. What do you need?"
Though he couldn't hear clearly through the door, Fujio was certain it was his youngest daughter's voice, except it sounded somewhat hoarser compared to her usual gentle and calm tone.
However, with his hangover headache and the unclear sound, he dismissed it as his imagination.
In reality, he heard correctly. After indulging in unrestrained moans for an hour or two last night, not only Yanagi but also Tsuki and Hana had ended up with hoarse voices.
"Yanagi, can I come in?"
Fujio wanted to check on his daughter, and talking through the door was inconvenient.
"..."
The girl silently glanced at the chaotic and indecent state of the room. There was no way she could say "yes."
Not to mention the stunning married woman and the high school beauty lying unconscious and naked, covered in questionable marks, even the smell in the room would be unmistakable to anyone familiar with nightlife.
"It's a holiday today, and I haven't gotten up yet. How about you wait in the living room, Dad? I'll get dressed and come down to see you."
"Is that so..."
Fujio found it a bit strange. Even if she was sleeping in, it was almost afternoon, which seemed excessively late. But then he thought about the cold weather and figured staying under the covers a little longer was probably normal.
Meanwhile, Haruto listened to the father-daughter conversation while picking his clothes off the floor and putting them on.
As he dressed, he mused to himself that his "delinquent" tendencies only extended to pure love scenarios. The idea of sharing his women with others or putting them in embarrassing situations was something he couldn't stomach.
If he were a true villain in such situations, he'd probably relish being discovered by the wronged party, with the female lead desperately trying to hide everything...
But if being a pure love delinquent was his style, so be it. Haruto didn't dwell on it further.
Overcoming inner demons required facing one's true self and acting according to one's desires.
Forcing himself to change his ways wasn't just impossible and unacceptable—it would also mean falling back into the trap of his inner demons, just as before.
By the time Haruto finished dressing, Fujio had been sent to the living room by Yanagi.
The girl immediately began to dress herself. As for the marks and scent on her body, she could only deal with them later by washing up and taking a bath.
"Brother-in-law, could you wake up Mom and Sister? Dad will probably want to see them soon."
Yanagi was the calmest, gentlest, and smartest of the mother-daughter trio, and she had already figured out Fujio's intentions.
"Discuss a plan among yourselves. It'd be best if you sneak out and come back from outside later."
There was no way Haruto's presence in her room could be exposed. If he were in Hana's room, Fujio might be angry, but it would blow over eventually. However, if he were discovered in Yanagi's room, things would be much harder to explain.
Something like "collecting both sisters" was something Fujio would never agree to. Even if forced to accept it, he'd likely never treat Haruto kindly again.
In truth, such arrangements were quite common in the Underworld and the divine realm—polygamy, polyandry, and similar practices weren't unusual in the hidden world.
But in the ordinary world, even if Haruto were far more exceptional than the average person, mainstream values would never accept his chaotic private life.
In the hidden world, however, the current Red Dragon Emperor maintaining a harem?
Wasn't that only to be expected? If possible, countless beauties would even line up to throw themselves at him.
"Alright, Yanagi, you go wash up first."
Haruto also had some scent on him. Not being able to use magic was indeed inconvenient in daily life, but since he had no intention of meeting the Uzaki father and son again, he didn't need to dwell on this issue.
Not only did Haruto currently have no plans to interact with Fujio, but he also intended to avoid him as much as possible in the future.
A pure-hearted playboy didn't have the nasty habit of flaunting himself before the cuckold. His only goal was to seize the heroine's body and mind, making her his exclusive plaything.
Yanagi hugged her clothes and headed to the bathroom, while Haruto woke up Tsuki and Hana.
At first, the two were still somewhat drowsy, but upon checking the time and hearing Haruto say that Fujio was looking for them, their lingering sleepiness vanished instantly.
As for Fujio, Tsuki might not have love for him, but after living together for so many years and having three children, there were still feelings involved.
No matter how justified she might feel, she had still cheated, and she would feel somewhat guilty facing Fujio. If she thought it was taken for granted, then she would either be a scumbag or have problematic values.
If she had thought it was taken for granted, she wouldn't have waited until Haruto appeared to be completely captivated and conquered.
Even after raising three children, Tsuki had always had suitors around her, and some with dark intentions had even used underhanded methods.
However, as a housewife, she rarely appeared in public, and with her clever mind, she had never let anyone take advantage of her.
Hana, on the other hand, had completely accepted the current situation, with none of the hesitation and awkwardness from the previous night. But she also knew that this matter couldn't be discovered by her father, so she immediately discussed with Tsuki how to handle it.
"Let's not worry about that for now. We need to tidy up the room, air out the scent, and clean ourselves up."
Tsuki, being a mature wife, quickly calmed down and soon came up with the best solution.
Compared to exposure, concealing the truth was the best choice for both parties. Fujio wouldn't get hurt, their happy family life could continue, and she could still maintain her relationship with Haruto to satisfy her physical needs.
As for the idea of no longer having relations with her handsome son-in-law, such a thought never even crossed the beautiful wife's mind.
After last night's intense battle, her long-suppressed body had been completely conquered and awakened by Haruto. Asking her to abstain now would be worse than killing her outright.
Moreover, since uniting with Haruto, Tsuki found that her eyes could only see Haruto, with no room for anyone else.
As an experienced and beautiful wife, unlike the virgin Uzaki sisters, she had clearly noticed something strange about this.
But considering Haruto's other superhuman abilities, she simply attributed it to 'monster Haruto's' innate talents.
After all, it wasn't harmful to her and her two daughters, and it even seemed beneficial.
Waking up today, she felt none of the fatigue or soreness from a night of intense activity. Instead, she seemed energetic and refreshed.
While it's said that women glow after being satisfied, this was more than just glowing—the effect was comparable to taking supplements combined with exercise for physical fitness.
With mother and daughter united in purpose, they quickly tidied up Yanagi's bedroom, then picked up their clothes and quietly slipped into the bathroom.
Except for those pairs of stockings, Haruto had stripped them all into tender little lambs last night, so the clothes scattered on the floor were all clean, saving him the time of going back to the room to fetch clothes and reducing the risk of exposure.
The mother and her two daughters cleaned themselves in the bathroom while discussing how to cover things up perfectly.
Meanwhile, Haruto rolled over and directly left the Uzaki household through a second-floor window.
As a pure-hearted "yellow-haired" character, he wouldn't actively seek out the cuckold or expose the affair. But if the heroine failed to keep it hidden, he wasn't afraid of being exposed either.
Walking home, Haruto hummed a cheerful tune, feeling lighthearted and content as he recalled Tsuki's seductive and alluring body from the previous night, filled with immense satisfaction.
It turned out he had long been interested in Tsuki—this sexy, elegant, busty beauty with a low ponytail—rather than acting out some "yellow-haired" role.
Suddenly, he felt something loosen within him. Even under seal, the energy inside surged wildly.
A fleeting, inexplicable insight passed through him—his mental state had indeed broken through, but... it wasn't enough yet.
Haruto understood: only at this moment had he truly confronted his inner desires. But to completely overcome his inner demons, he needed to face and fulfill more of his genuine inner thoughts.
Did overcoming inner demons require becoming a "yellow-haired" character enslaved by desires? To bed every beautiful woman he saw?
