Hikari was half-reclining against the headboard, watching this scene with great interest.
And Munataka Rurie, who had just set down her cup, looked over as well, noticing Hikari's gaze.
Their eyes met, and she gave a slight smile, revealing a charming, seductive expression.
Then she walked toward him.
Her jade-like legs moved in graceful, lotus-like steps. As the thin gauze skirt swayed, it occasionally revealed flashes of a tantalizing springtime allure that made one's blood surge.
Arriving beside Hikari, she sat down on the edge of the bed with her delicate hips.
Munataka Rurie smiled and asked, "Hikari-kun, how was it? Were you satisfied with the reward Auntie gave you earlier?"
Seeing the hidden meaning quietly contained in her alluring, beautiful eyes, Hikari pretended to be excited and nodded repeatedly, "Satisfied! Very satisfied!"
"Madam Rurie, you really are good with your mouth. It was extremely satisfying."
Hearing Hikari's words, the corners of Munataka Rurie's lips couldn't help but curl upward slightly.
Most women enjoy being praised.
Not to mention praise from a young and handsome boy like Hikari. Ninety-nine percent of married women would feel delighted hearing that.
Munataka Rurie was no exception.
And ever since her husband died years ago and she became a widow, she had never had any contact with other men again, barely even speaking to them.
Now, hearing such sincere praise from a handsome youth like Hikari, the smile on her lips was almost impossible to suppress, rising higher than the muzzle of a semi-automatic rifle.
Hearing Hikari's praise, Munataka Rurie laughed happily, "Hikari-kun, with that sweet talk of yours, you must be quite popular with girls at school, right?"
"No, I'm telling the truth. Madam really is amazing."
Giggle!
Hearing this, Munataka Rurie couldn't help letting out a goose-like laugh. She even wrapped her arms around Hikari's neck and gave his cheek a loud "mwah."
Then she leaned closer, her lips parting slightly as she said, "Actually, Auntie has something even better. Want to experience it?"
Because they were so close while speaking, her warm, moist breath brushed against Hikari's earlobe.
The tingling sensation made him shiver slightly.
"Even… even better?", Hikari raised his brows slightly as he looked at her.
"Yes, even better!", Munataka Rurie nodded, then continued, "But I have a request. I hope Hikari-kun can agree to it."
"If you can help me with this, I'll definitely go a step further and give you an even better reward."
"Even… if at that time you want Auntie to do anything, that would be fine too~"
As she said this, Madam Rurie seemed a little shy, lowering her head with a blush on her face. Her beautiful eyes looked at Hikari with a hint of deeper meaning.
Hearing her suggestive words and seeing this scene that could make almost any man's blood boil instantly,
Hikari showed a trace of excitement on his face, "W-what is it?"
Seeing his reaction and feeling she had him in her grasp, Munataka Rurie smiled seductively.
Then she put on a serious expression and said to him, "This matter actually has to do with my precious daughter, Nakoto…"
"It has to do with Miss Nakoto?", Hikari raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Yes! What I'm about to say, you mustn't be afraid, and don't be too shocked," Munataka Rurie first laid down several layers of caution.
Hikari, who already had a vague guess, didn't expose it. Instead, he picked up the jade-like hand she had deliberately placed on his thigh and gently squeezed it, "Don't worry, Madam. Even though I'm young, I've seen quite a bit. I won't make a big fuss."
Feeling his fingers lightly tracing circles in her soft palm, Munataka Rurie shot him a coquettish glance.
Only then did she speak with a serious expression, "Before I tell you my request, let me first tell you about our family."
"My original family and the Munataka family were both considered noble in our ancestry, which is why we still have such a large house and estate… well, that's not important."
"I'll just get straight to the point."
"For some reason, whether we offended someone or something else happened, the women in our family are afflicted with a certain curse."
"If the women in our family reach a certain age and still don't have some deeper interaction with men, they will gradually develop serious illnesses, or even die."
"This curse… is still entangling our family even now…"
Seeing Madam Rurie speaking about the "family curse" with a serious expression, Hikari raised his brows slightly, "Is this curse really that serious?"
"Yes, that's why such a large Munataka residence has so few people," Munataka Rurie gave a bitter smile.
"I see. Then what exactly is the favor Madam Rurie wants me to help with?", Hikari asked, not doubting her.
Hearing him finally ask the question she had been waiting for, Munataka Rurie grabbed his hand tightly and said, "Hikari-kun, my husband passed away years ago. I only have Nakoto as my daughter."
"And Nakoto is now about to reach the age where the curse will harm her. She urgently needs someone to help."
"To be honest, you must have found it strange why I was so warm toward you and Tani, two sudden, unfamiliar guests, right?"
"Actually, it's because I was hoping you could help my daughter."
"And compared to that Tani Ichiro, Hikari-kun, you are clearly much more trustworthy."
"So, Hikari-kun, please help Nakoto!"
Munataka Rurie tightly held his hand, her expression sincere as she pleaded.
After hearing her words, Hikari seemed a little surprised and frowned slightly, "Madam, you mean…"
"Yes! I want you, Hikari-kun, to be Nakoto's first partner! Save Nakoto!", Munataka Rurie nodded firmly.
"Finding a reliable man is really not easy. A boy as outstanding as you is truly rare."
"So, even though it may sound shameless, as a mother, I sincerely beg you to save my daughter."
"At the same time, let Nakoto experience the beauty of inti."
Munataka Rurie released his hand, clasped her own hands together, and pleaded earnestly.
But Hikari's expression showed some hesitation. He spoke with slight uncertainty, "This… I understand what Madam Rurie means."
"This matter… I can consider it…"
Hearing this, Munataka Rurie rolled her eyes.
Then she pressed her red lips together, her eyes soft and alluring as she looked at him, lowering her head and grabbing his hand in a coquettish manner.
She swayed it gently while speaking in a tone like she was acting spoiled, "What do you mean 'consider it'? Just agree to Auntie already!"
"Auntie just… just did that for you as a reward."
"Now we're on the same boat."
"As long as you agree, whatever reward you want, Auntie will give it to you."
"Even if Hikari-kun wants Auntie… Auntie can also… so…"
"Just say yes, okay~"
Despite her noble identity and mature, fully blossomed charm, there was no sense of awkwardness when Munataka Rurie acted spoiled.
Instead, her soft, alluring voice made one's mind sway and body go weak.
A tingling sensation spread from the base of Hikari's thigh all the way to his brain.
He finally understood why ancient foolish rulers like Julius could be deceived by enchantresses like Cleopatra.
It really was hard to resist.
Seeing how she spoke while firmly grasping his weak point, Hikari had no choice but to nod, "Alright, alright, I agree, Madam Rurie. I agree, okay?"
"Giggle~"
Hearing that he had finally agreed, Munataka Rurie laughed happily.
She lightly tucked the hair beside her cheek behind her ear and gave him a seductive glance.
Then she knelt in front of him once more, lowering her noble head as the mistress of the Munataka residence.
.
.
.
Dozens of minutes later—
Madam Rurie finally left Hikari's room, her expression full of reluctance.
"Hikari-kun, you must do what you promised."
"After it's done, whatever reward or compensation you want, I can satisfy you."
Before leaving, her soft, fair, and full body leaned against the door as she looked back and left him with these words that stirred one's blood.
Looking at her charming, picturesque face and her ripe, peach-like, full and graceful figure, Hikari also revealed a heated gaze and nodded repeatedly.
But once the door fully closed, and the sound of her light footsteps faded outside, the slight excitement and flush he had been deliberately showing quickly disappeared, his face returning to its fair complexion.
That entranced, dazed expression vanished as well, leaving only calmness like still water.
Hikari believed that Madam Rurie, who had looked flushed just moments ago as if she couldn't wait to go all the way with him, probably wore a similar expression now that she had left.
After all, just an hour or so ago, she had killed someone.
And yet, not long after, she could completely immerse herself in doing "import-export trade" with him.
This kind of performance showed that Madam Rurie had extremely strong control over her emotions.
So from beginning to end, Hikari had never truly immersed himself.
If it were an ordinary male high school student, suddenly experiencing Madam Rurie's eloquent and meticulous "service," he would probably have been completely swept away and forgotten everything.
But Hikari, seasoned by experience, could easily remain clear-headed the whole time.
And besides…
"Just average."
Hikari reached down, adjusted himself, and fastened his belt, his expression quite calm.
To be fair, judging from her behavior and speech, Madam Rurie's skill level was already quite impressive.
Even if not exactly "silver-tongued," she could certainly be called quick-witted and eloquent.
But Hikari had heard too many people brag before. Even beauties like Yukino, that snow woman, or Kiriryuin Kaede, those from the oni race, he had seen their kind of "talk" too.
So his resistance in this regard was quite strong.
His standards were also relatively high.
