Ding, dong…
The clock in Riku's apartment—hour hand, minute hand, second hand—all converged on twelve.
Before he could even process who had crawled into his futon, the narration chimed in.
[Three instances of excessive NTR Antagonist activity completed today!]
[You have acquired three special titles.]
[Title: 「Despicable Orator」]
[Title: 「Secret Explorer」]
[Title: 「Shoddy Impersonator」]
[All stats increased by 10 points.]
Twelve o'clock.
A new day had begun.
So the system tallied up his homewrecker activities from the previous day and awarded him bonuses accordingly.
That meant the more he leaned into his role, the more rewards he could stack.
His thoughts drifted to Hirose Yoru. Her birthday party was coming up—that might be a good opportunity to rack up some points too.
Ten attribute points.
With the three points he'd earned before, plus his natural physical baseline, he'd already been operating at the level of a serious athlete. The all-around kind.
Now, with ten more points on top of that… he felt like he'd just crossed into elite territory.
No—definitely beyond elite.
But it was the three titles that really caught his attention. They sounded… strange.
「Despicable Orator」 : No podium, no microphone required. You can deliver inspirational platitudes worthy of a professional speaker at any time. Oratory +50.
("I gave the employee who betrayed me a million yen. Imagine what I'll give the ones who stay loyal—hundreds of millions! If you understand, applaud.")
*Should I rename it to "professional gaslighter"
「Secret Explorer」 : Randomly uncover special secret leads related to women in your vicinity. Use them wisely. Combined with your oratory skills, almost no woman can resist your personal charisma. Exploration +50.
("Oh my—ma'am, I hear your husband fled the scene of a hit-and-run. You wouldn't want the police showing up at your door, would you? Then if you'd just…")
「Shoddy Impersonator」 : Your deliberately unconvincing acting allows you to temporarily adopt the expertise of a chosen profession. Acting +50.
(System note: AV actor? Seriously? Fine—you gain the legendary Johnny Sins Golden Finger. Plumber? You're clearly up to something—you gain the ability to make any housewife open the door for you.)
.........
Why did every single title come with such an unhinged note?
Before he could properly consider how to use them, he felt movement beneath the blanket.
Something soft pressed against his abdomen, sliding upward.
He reached down and caught the slender, warm arm working its way up.
"Riku-kun~"
The voice came from under the covers.
That wasn't Nahiro.
A small head emerged from the blankets,
"Riku-kun."
In the darkness, he couldn't immediately tell if this was Emi or Haru.
"Riku-kun."
Her breath, warm and fragrant, brushed against his cheek.
Only Emi would pull something like this.
Riku caught her slender wrist and flipped their positions, pinning her beneath him.
"Riku-kun~"
Two soft mounds pressed against his chest.
This girl—
She'd taken her clothes off under the blanket!!
Her arms looped around his neck, pulling him down into a kiss. Lips parted. Breath mingled.
"Can I sleep here?" she whispered.
[In the pitch-black silence, you decide to complete the act. Just keep quiet—the bedroom door is still open. If the others find out… that would be mortifying.]
"Of course," he murmured.
He lowered his mouth to her neck, then lower still.
Her body trembled under his touch.
His hands found the peaks.
A soft whisper reached his ears.
"Riku-kun… could you be gentle this time?"
This time?
"You're Haru?"
In the darkness, she nodded faintly.
The contrast was staggering.
The older Tachibana sister—the one who always seemed so serious, so composed—was this girl.
Her voice stayed low, barely audible.
Riku continued his ministrations.
Before long, she was already dripping.
As he moved, Haru's body began to arch and shift beneath him.
Even though this was her second time, she was still tense. But as he continued, she slowly began to relax—until eventually, she reversed their positions, straddling him.
Her hips moved in a steady rhythm, her hand clamped over her mouth to smother the sounds.
Her pace quickened.
Half an hour later, Haru slipped back into her clothes and quietly returned to the bedroom.
.........
The next morning, the three girls were still asleep in the bedroom.
Riku slipped out early by himself. He had paperwork to handle for the company and needed to pick up some clothes for Nahiro.
*Logic left the door before the first chapter
After the past few days of close observation, he had a pretty good sense of what suited her. He could just buy everything in her size and have it sent over.
He stopped by a shop, made his selections, and arranged for delivery.
Setting up the company was even easier. Half a day, and the registration was done.
When it came to burning through money, nothing did it faster than an entertainment company.
Shoot a single movie. Release a few albums. The costs could run into the hundreds of millions without blinking.
With the paperwork finished, Riku headed home.
Halfway there, the narration kicked in.
[You notice Hirose Yoru and her boyfriend Shirō Satō across the street. Their relationship seems barely functional at this point. You decide to get closer—you might uncover something useful.]
Riku glanced across the road.
There they were.
Walking beside Shirō, Hirose Yoru didn't look happy at all. She kept a noticeable distance between them, her body language closed off.
[You spot Hirose Yoru and her unfortunate boyfriend Shirō Satō shopping. You decide to follow them and say hello. Use the excuse of running errands to join their outing. Then, in an unguarded moment, do something special with Hirose Yoru.]
[「Secret Explorer」 title activated!]
[You have uncovered one secret lead related to Hirose Yoru.]
[You have uncovered two secret leads related to Shirō Satō.]
Riku examined the three leads.
Lead #1 — Shirō Satō: Yesterday, Shirō was upset over something involving Hirose Yoru. His childhood friend Hazuki Uta sent him a message trying to comfort him. He misinterpreted it as mockery and didn't reply. The message is still sitting in his phone.
(System note: Hazuki Uta is an upperclassman and a top student. She has a remarkable figure and striking looks. Having grown up with her, Shirō apparently feels nothing for her at all.)
