Isao Tsumugi
Evening was falling, wasn't it?
The sun was slowly dipping below the horizon, and in half an hour, darkness and night would fully claim the heavens, blanketing them with a starry sky—too bad you wouldn't be able to see the stars here in the city.
But… screw the stars! All his thoughts were on Cathyl. He just couldn't get her out of his head, because even looking at the 3D rendering the Gacha showed him, he was amazed at how fucking beautiful she was.
A woman who would be taller than him, a woman with incredible curves, a woman who… damn it, she was just a Fertility Goddess! Oh, he was going to enjoy her so much!
Of course, provided she wasn't against it. This was honestly the first time he'd received a bipedal, humanoid, sentient being from the Gacha as a familiar; all his familiars before had been animals, so he was bound to feel a bit awkward in front of this goddess of fertility.
As soon as he reached the mall, he didn't wait for Takuzo to move the barrier. He simply created a metal platform under the car, lifted it into the air, flew over the fence, and set the car down in its designated spot.
A few men in police uniforms nodded at him, but he still noticed their eyes widening at how easily he'd flown over the wall. Takuzo, standing nearby, ran over.
"Isao-san? How did your mission go? I hope there weren't any problems?" He asked with genuine interest, looking at my armor, which I still had on. Honestly, it was pretty comfortable.
"Nothing special you need to worry about. Just another new type of zombie, which I'll discuss with Kiriko and Yuriko when the latter arrives." Takuzo nodded at my words, and with a wave of my hand, I signaled him to return to his post, which he did with a simple nod.
As for me? I went inside the mall, summoning one of the Divine Dogs on the way—a black-furred one—which I immediately sent to find Kiriko. I needed to ask how things were going and, in general, talk to her about whether it was even worth awakening her husband's powers.
I sensed that most of the people were currently on the second floor, where there was furniture and such; it was clear they'd been placed there and were being prepped for sleep. About ten people were patrolling in pairs around the room where the civilians were—likely police keeping watch. From that same direction, I also sensed the presence of Tadashi and the others, but I didn't see Kiriko there. I assumed she was probably still in the unloading zone, telling people what to do, so I just shrugged and went to my room—or rather, my office.
Approaching the office, I sensed people inside—specifically, Mom, K-imoto, and Rin. I opened the door and walked in to find K-imoto sleeping on the bed, while Mom was sitting with Rin, who was asleep with her head on Mom's lap.
"Mom?" She didn't seem to notice someone opening the door and entering. Luckily, it was me, so there was no danger, but when I called out, she jerked her head up to look at me, and she looked… too anxious. "Did something happen?" I started walking toward her, and she simply pressed her lips together, not moving until I sat down next to her.
"Isao-chan… am I… am I a bad mother?" Her question left me speechless. Even my brain stopped working the moment she said it, and I just looked at her with a look of pure… shock, probably.
"What… where did that come from, Mom…?" I hugged her slightly, pulling her close, until she reached out and clung to me as tightly as she could. "No, you're the best mother I could ever have… you're the best. Why are you even asking such stupid questions?"
"…" She just went silent, not answering my question, and that worried me.
Mom could always trust me with anything—be it mundane chores, "adult" business like staying to work at our cafe while she went to the market, managing employee salaries, or anything else.
Until this moment, she had never hesitated to tell me about her problems. Suddenly, out of nowhere, she's silent instead of explaining the issue and asking for my perspective? It was simply bizarre, not to mention it had never happened before.
"Mom, don't be silent. Please, answer me—where did these thoughts even come from?" I looked at her, but she just turned her gaze away, blushing slightly, making me stare at her in bewilderment once again. "Mom…"
"I don't want to talk about it. I… I just wanted to ask, that's all…" She continued stroking Rin's head, making me sigh.
"Fine…" I stood up, took Rin by the neck and knees, laid her next to K-imoto, then returned to sit next to Mom and took her hand. "Mom… you know I love you, and whatever happens, I will continue to love you. That's why, no matter what, I'll worry about you, even if the slightest thing happens to you. But… when you ask me questions like that, I don't just worry—my heart feels like it's dying and shriveling up, because I don't want Kyoko Tsumugi to doubt herself. Ever. Because Kyoko Tsumugi is the best woman I know." I squeezed her hand, looking her in the eyes while she looked at me helplessly. After a brief silence, I asked again. "So why did you ask that question? Why is Kyoko Tsumugi doubting herself?"
"I… it's… it's all just complicated… I don't even want to talk about it, because it's all so complicated…" She closed her eyes as if trying to hold back tears and fell silent again, leaving me sighing with frustration.
God, how I hate situations like this. I never liked having to literally drag problems out of a person's mouth that I'm trying to help solve. It's not that I was angry at Mom for it, but it was still a bit exhausting.
And the thing was… she had never hidden anything from me. Never before had I had to try to pry words out of her. Our trust in each other was like an elderly couple who'd been together forever… strange as that might sound, we just had almost nothing to hide from one another. That's why I'd told her how my powers worked; I didn't hide anything from her, except the fact that I remembered my past life, but that didn't matter anymore… Honestly, I would've even told her that, well, I sometimes flirted with K-imoto if she'd asked me directly!
"Mom… don't worry. Whatever it is, I'll help you solve it."
"Promise…?" She sniffled slightly and looked at me with a demanding gaze, making me sigh.
"Yes, I promise. Whatever you say, I won't tell anyone else. I won't hint at it, I won't laugh at it, I won't judge it. You are the dearest person to me, Mom. I would never do anything that would threaten you, Kotobuki, me, or our family as a whole." I smiled at her, trying to calm her down. She really did calm down, and for a few moments, just looked into my eyes before sighing heavily.
"I'm afraid… that I didn't raise K-imoto right… because of me, she's… the way she is…"
What? What on earth was she talking about?
"What do you mean, Mom? K-imoto is a good girl. She's quite smart, and before all this, she was a diligent student compared to me. Everyone at school liked her, she isn't rude to anyone, and she's always helping those who have problems…" She cut me off sharply.
"No, that's not it. It's… it's that… ah…" Her face twisted slightly as she struggled for words.
"What is it, Mom?"
"That she loves you!" Her confession made me stare at her in confusion, until I realized what kind of love she was talking about, and…
"…" I sighed awkwardly, trying not to look her way… until I asked my second question, which drove Mom into even greater anxiety. "I… I don't think it's because of you, Mom… why do you even think that?"
"It's…" For the first few seconds, she was silent and just squeezed my hand tighter, as if preparing to confess something terrible.
Meanwhile, I was thinking about one thing… do traits really influence personality that strongly? Because I didn't think Mom had figured out K-imoto's incestuous tendencies out of thin air. Most likely, a conversation had occurred between them where K-imoto confessed that she saw me as someone dear—not as a sister does a brother, but as a woman does a man…
And I wasn't going to hide it, either. I loved K-imoto. She was my dear little sister, and damn it, I just couldn't even think about anyone else but me being with her. Logically, I understood it was wrong—that a brother shouldn't be so jealous of his younger sister regarding a hypothetical future boyfriend—but it was the truth.
But honestly, I was that way not just toward K-imoto, but toward Kyoko, too… I loved Mom just the same, with that same rotten, impure, yet incredibly sincere love.
She was mine, just like K-imoto. And any other man who approached her… I would fucking kill him. Kill him just for being bold enough to think he could take my woman away from me, even if that woman was my mother…
My family is only MINE and no one else's.
"It's… I… I…" She blushed more and more, and at the same time, tears involuntarily welled up in her eyes. "I think it's… my fault… because… I… I l-l… l-love you…" By the end, she was just crying, pressing herself against me while I stared at her, stunned.
[Receive a confession of love from your mother]
[Gold Ticket]
The screen only confirmed my thoughts about what kind of love she was talking about… and… instead of being in shock… I was in ecstatic happiness, pulling Mom even tighter against me.
After all, if Mom was the same way I was with K-imoto… then I wouldn't have to hide my true self from her anymore. I wouldn't have to try and force myself to look at her as a son looks at a mother, despite how much I loved her… all this time, since I was a teenager, I'd forced myself to do it when I realized something was wrong with me. I was uncomfortable because I couldn't be myself, but what were the other options?
But now? Now that my dear mother had confessed the depth of the love she felt for me…? Oh, it felt so-o good… The side of me I'd always locked away, pushed back, and shoved into the darkest corner of my brain had finally broken free, making me hug Mom even tighter. I pressed my nose against her head and breathed in her wonderful scent.
I sighed, thinking about the ticket I'd received. A gold ticket… I hadn't received one of these since all this began…
Gacha, use it.
[Dominant]
|Elite Trait|
You are naturally dominant; it's easier to assert yourself on others and act in a more dominant fashion. In addition, people are more receptive to your acting more dominant and assertive, especially submissive people.
"Everything is fine, Mom… it's all okay…" And while I was saying that… I was smiling inside. You don't have to worry about anything, Mom… everything will be fine. After all, even if I don't love the idea and don't wish to become a god, I can't deny the privileges I'll gain from it.
Those privileges that will allow me to be with you… allowing me to love you the way both you and I desire… and people won't be able to say a word against me, because I will be a God to them.
"How can you say that…? T-that's not normal! A mother shouldn't even think about things like that. And now… because of all the time I spent with you, because of all that emotional dependency on you, because in everything I did, I always found support in you… but that was… that was wrong. I was a grown woman, I should have do everything myself, and not have been dependent on my little baby…" She sniffled, trying to hide in my embrace from the whole world. "And seeing that… my dear daughter picked up on how I behave, not even knowing it's wrong… who but myself can I blame? Tell me?" She lifted her gaze to me, making me lose myself in her beauty.
I'd always considered her the most beautiful woman in the world, and whenever some bastards approached her, I'd get angry like a rabid dog.
And she seemed to understand that I felt the same toward her, given how I was looking at her—with eyes full of love.
"I-Isa—Mph!" I just couldn't restrain myself anymore and captured her lips with mine, hugging her back and pressing her to me.
[Kiss your mother]
[Silver Ticket 2x]
Her soft amber eyes looked at me in shock while my lips kissed her, but… a moment later, the shock in her eyes was replaced by something tender, and it seemed she simply gave up, accepting who she was. Feeling a sense of freedom, I let my hand drop lower, to her cute, slender bottom, which I'd always wanted to squeeze.
And now, squeezing it, I felt… free… I felt no anxieties, I didn't feel the constant exhaustion that I started feeling since yesterday, I wasn't rushing anywhere to get work done…
I was just in the moment, allowing myself to Love the woman I loved most in the world… and finally, it felt like I was Free, as if nothing in the world could bind me anymore, as if I'd grown wings and could fly…
"Ha…" I pulled away from her and her tender lips, watching the strand of our saliva connecting us, while Mom looked at me through half-closed eyes with flushed cheeks.
"You…"
"I love you, Kyoko… in truth, I've always loved you. You are the best woman in the world—supportive, smart, caring, and kind, not to mention how beautiful you are." I felt tears well up slightly in my eyes from the flood of emotions that were overwhelming me… it felt like I was passing through a whirlwind of emotions that was freeing me from all the past chains that had been holding me back.
"Honey… I… I didn't know you felt something like that for me… I'm old… not to mention that I'm your mother…"
"I don't give a damn about that, Mom… with my powers, sooner or later, I'll get something that will allow me to gain power over age, life, and death… and then you'll always be with me, until we both die." I smiled at her… and judging by how her eyes began to look at me with immense love, she was happy at my words.
"…" She suddenly seemed slightly unsure, but after I tilted my head slightly, she moved toward me and kissed me with all the love she felt… and God!
I loved the woman I held in my arms. She was the person who always believed in me and always supported me. I knew that even if the whole world turned its back on me, she wouldn't. That she would live for me, that she would even die for me… and I loved this woman.
I would make her happy. Even in such a dangerous world, I would make this world the purest world, just for her and everyone I hold dear.
She fell onto the bed, and I fell onto her, still kissing her, but this time my body was pressing against hers—chest to chest, groin to groin… and…
I heard and felt dozens of buses starting to pull into the parking lot, and among all those beacons of hundreds, if not thousands, of life-energy signatures, there was Yuriko…
I pulled away from her abruptly, while she looked at me with eyes drunk on love.
"Sorry, Mom… I-I have to go…" She simply nodded, continuing to look up at the spot where my head had been just moments ago, while I walked toward the exit with quick steps.
And before I headed out there, I decided to use those two silver tickets.
[View Air]
|Uncommon Ability|
Allows you to share your senses with the air around you, allowing you to map the world around you through the wind. The base range is 1km but it can be improved with training and base stats.
[Weaver]
|Rare Ability|
You are able to conjure threads made of energy under your control. The power of the threads and their numbers depend on the amount of energy you expend. You can control each thread like a limb but you lose control of it the moment they leave your body after which they dissipate.
I sighed slightly, looking at what I'd received…
The first ability was incredible. The ability to feel everything thanks to the air? That means… I'll be able to feel literally everything. I'll know who is moving where, even if the movement is almost imperceptible. Air occupies space, and space notices even the slightest movement, as it is within space that everything happens.
And the second one… an ability like Doflamingo's… at least slightly nerfed…
This is beautiful…
Everything is so beautiful… I felt my mood lift, and… it wasn't just my mood, but everything that exists in my mind.
It felt as if, having broken off the chains that had been binding me, even without me knowing, I had been reborn—like a flower that had finally bloomed.
