It was already noon the next day when Yuu Hoshimiya finally returned home.
The previous night, his time with Yoko Okino and Terumi Hoshino hadn't actually taken that long. However, after a night's sleep, the two women—whose bodies had fully recovered and even improved under the effects of dual cultivation—clung to him for the entire morning.
From morning until noon, for nearly four hours, they were relentless.
Terumi Hoshino and Yoko Okino had performed deep splits on the sofa, arched into bridge poses on the beanbag chairs, and spread into wide-angled positions on the carpet...
It wasn't until the two women were once again completely exhausted and fell asleep in their bedroom that Yuu was able to slip away and head home.
To be fair, after this encounter, he had thoroughly enjoyed the two young and beautiful idols.
Yoko Okino was Contracted, while Terumi Hoshino was Chained; though the latter envied the former, she harbored no resentment or jealousy.
She wouldn't dare.
After fully merging with Yuu and learning of the existence of supernatural powers, Terumi, who was already a fan of Yuu, had turned into a complete devotee.
The last one to be this obedient was Seiran Hoshi, who was obsessed with supernatural power to a demonic degree.
To them, Yuu Hoshimiya was the equivalent of a god's incarnation on earth.
As the saying goes, misfortunes never come alone, and blessings come in pairs.
As soon as Yuu arrived home, he heard more good news.
Midori Kuriyama, our lovely secretary, had finally finished a week of gradual hints and explanations to her best friend and roommate, Azusa Enomoto.
Yes, a single week.
Regardless of how much actual time had passed, the timeline had strictly recorded only one week.
Since he had been born as a local in this "Conan-science" world, Yuu was not left behind when the timeline went crazy.
As long as he didn't obsess over the details, he was just like everyone else, completely unaffected by the erratic flow of time.
In fact, he preferred that time passed slowly to give him ample time to develop his power, so he didn't dwell on it.
Regarding Midori's good news, he felt nothing but pure joy.
Thus, starting today, Midori Kuriyama officially moved in.
Her room was the one at the very end that had remained vacant; in the afternoon, everyone went to help her move her luggage.
If Azusa Enomoto agreed to move in later, that room would become their shared residence.
The high-end tower apartment was massive; it didn't feel crowded even with three or four people living there. However, a large portion of Eri Kisaki's side was used as her law firm.
Yuu's side, on the other hand, was the main gathering place for everyone.
Not only the women from the 26th floor, but even Yukiko Kudo from the 27th floor spent more time here than in her own home.
When Yukiko first appeared, Ran and Sonoko were a bit surprised.
Especially after hearing the gossip about the Kudo and Kuroba families, they were absolutely stunned.
But then they remembered that Conan and Ai shrinking had already happened, so nothing seemed too far-fetched anymore.
They hadn't expected their childhood friend Shinichi Kudo to have such a "tragic" family background; they decided to be a bit more tolerant of the shrunken detective in the future.
But only a bit.
If Yuu hadn't stopped her, Sonoko Suzuki—who never got along with Shinichi—would have used that information to mock the arrogant mystery freak relentlessly. With Midori Kuriyama's return, Yuu's nightlife became even more vibrant.
The secretary, who loved wearing black silk and had a pair of long, slender legs, was also very adventurous in bed.
He wondered if her best friend Azusa Enomoto would move in later; otherwise, he would have to go and "conquer" her himself.
Azusa didn't have many scenes early on, but she was a fairly important character later.
She was definitely a person of destiny.
Moreover, Azusa worked at the Cafe Poirot beneath the Mouri Detective Agency, and she would eventually cross paths with Toru Amuro.
By taking her, Yuu would have an insider on the front lines when the main conflict between the Red and Black sides truly began.
Yuu didn't ponder Azusa's situation for long.
Maybe after a few days of thinking, she would move in of her own accord.
It wasn't highly likely, but one could always hope.
That night, to celebrate Midori becoming a member of the household, everyone held a party at Yuu's place after the move was finished.
The numbers weren't huge: just Eri Kisaki, Seimi Asai, Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki, Midori Kuriyama, Yukiko Kudo, and Yuu Hoshimiya.
Six women and one man—seven people in total.
By the latter half of the night, after several glasses of red wine and beer, and under Yuu's intentional guidance, the party inevitably turned into a massive orgy.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Yuu had dealt with more than two opponents at once.
Previously, it had mostly been Chained rotations rather than a pure shared bed and collective dual cultivation for an entire night.
However, he believed it wouldn't be the last time.
People naturally seek excitement; for this party to go so smoothly, not only did Yuu want to play hard, but the women also tacitly consented in their hearts.
Even the most reserved one, Ran, had become quite open at home under the influence of her mother and her best friend.
She had no objections to Yuu playing wild at home; in fact, she was somewhat eager to join in. The long night seemed to fly by amidst the stimulation and pleasure.
When the horizon began to glow with a faint golden light, Yuu realized belatedly that it was already the next morning.
Looking at the messy living room and the naked, beautiful bodies sprawled across the sofa, dining table, chairs, floor, and even the balcony, he barely managed to restrain the urge to keep going.
It was truly refreshing; since his strength had reached the next level, he hadn't experienced the feeling of being "drained" for a long time.
Though there were only six women, each had been dual-cultivating for a long time; their physiques, techniques, and even their desires were top-tier.
Even though Yuu had defeated them all, he had reached his own limit.
Of course, his stamina and "Little Yuu" were ready for more; he just needed a bit of time for his body to replenish its ammunition.
Yuu tidied up the living room a bit, carried Yukiko and the others to bed to let them continue resting, and then woke up Ran and Sonoko to wash up.
"Ran, Sonoko, wake up."
Today was a long-awaited school day; they had to go to Teitan High soon.
"Mmm... Yuu... good morning..."
"Teacher Hoshimiya... I want more..."
Though the two girls were exhausted, they got up.
They had been the first to give in the previous night, so they had actually gotten the most rest.
And even without rest, given their current physical condition, pulling an all-nighter was hardly an issue.
"You want more? You weren't the one begging for mercy last night."
Yuu helplessly flicked Sonoko's forehead with his finger and then took both girls into the bathroom to wash their bodies.
The intensity Sonoko had faced last night was easily in the top two.
Toward the end, the pleasure-seeking high school girl had been crying out for mercy, which was the only reason Yuu had let her off.
After changing her hairstyle during the Twin Towers incident, Sonoko hadn't switched back to her old "exposed forehead" look.
One reason was that she was genuinely more popular now, and the other was that she hadn't almost been sniped by Gin because of this hair.
Though Ai had mocked her for "plagiarism," Sonoko was thick-skinned and didn't mind at all, so she kept it.
With her slightly curled, chestnut-colored short hair, Sonoko wasn't quite as elegant as the smooth, straight-fringed look from Yuu's memory, but she was still much more attractive than before.
Furthermore, her resemblance to Shiho Miyano, combined with her erotic personality, made Yuu put even more effort into his "output."
Not just last night, but Yuu had invited Sonoko and been accepted far more often lately than before.
This was likely the main reason Sonoko kept the hairstyle.
Sonoko really wanted another "morning exercise," but she was physically spent, so no further "accidents" occurred that morning.
A short while later, the three of them arrived at Teitan High without being late.
In front of the school building, Yuu parted ways with the girls and headed to his office to begin another day of slacking off. Time always moves quickly when you're idling; Japanese high school hours aren't long, and it was soon time for classes to end.
Ran had Karate club activities today, so Sonoko had her driver take her home first.
Yuu, meanwhile, headed to the Karate club for a rare visit, intending to coach Ran personally and see exactly how far her strength had progressed.
In the club's dojo, Ran was warming up, stretching her body in the middle of the floor while Yuu sat nearby, watching.
Just then, a clear female voice echoed from the dojo entrance.
"Ran! Is Teacher Hoshimiya here for another special training session?"
Yuu immediately saw a cool-looking girl in a high school uniform walk in, her schoolbag slung over her shoulder.
She had clean, neat, blue-tinted short hair and sharp but not piercing eyebrows. Paired with her purple eyes full of fighting spirit, she wasn't someone to be underestimated.
With a high nose bridge and an exquisite face, she was stunning—an extremely confident girl.
There was no doubt: the newcomer was the captain of the Karate club and the only senior who could best Ran in the sport, Sumi Tsukamoto.
Ran immediately stopped her warm-up and said, "Captain Tsukamoto, you're here!"
"That's right! Are you already starting your warm-up?" She glanced at Yuu, her eyes dodging his gaze slightly.
She was very close with Ran and knew about Ran and Yuu's relationship as a couple.
She even knew a bit about Yuu's philandering.
The main thing was that every time she saw Yuu's handsome face, she couldn't help but remember the sounds she had heard in the restroom that day and the scenes she had glimpsed.
For a pure high school girl, that scene had been far too stimulating; she really couldn't forget it even if she wanted to.
Though her heart was in a flutter, she greeted Yuu out of politeness.
"Good afternoon, Teacher Hoshimiya."
Yuu nodded to her and said, "I'll leave Ran in your hands today, Student Tsukamoto!"
It was still early, and the three of them were the only ones in the dojo. Normally, Yuu would have used this time to coach Ran alone.
But things were different now; Yuu no longer felt the need to keep a low profile.
For Sumi Tsukamoto, who had given Ran so much help, Yuu intended to give something back. After their sparring session, he planned to offer her some pointers as well.
Sumi nodded and tossed her bag aside; it landed perfectly on the boundary line of the dojo, her control of force being incredibly precise.
Yuu narrowed his eyes slightly at the sight.
She then went to the locker room with Ran to change into their martial arts uniforms.
Soon, the two emerged, both wearing white karate gi.
Yuu looked over in surprise. When she had been wearing her conservative school uniform, it wasn't obvious.
But in her karate gi, Sumi Tsukamoto actually had a massive pair of breasts; they were every bit as impressive as Ran's since her "secondary development."
Wouldn't having such a huge chest be a hindrance to practicing karate?
Yuu got lost in thought over the question, his gaze lingering.
Girls are exceptionally sensitive to such looks. Sumi keenly noticed Yuu's gaze, which immediately brought back memories of that bathroom encounter. Her face flushed with a mix of shame and annoyance.
Soon, the two girls took their positions in the dojo.
They stood on opposite sides, bowed to each other, and took their stances.
Their auras began to rise steadily; Ran's expression grew increasingly serious.
Sumi, however, had a smile on her face, and the battle spirit in her eyes was climbing.
Simultaneously, both girls moved, charging at each other.
To Yuu's surprise, Sumi's speed was not at all inferior to Ran's—even though Ran had been dual-cultivating for so long. In fact, Sumi seemed to have a slight edge.
Sumi attacked first, a straight punch aimed directly at Ran's face.
Ran immediately raised her hands in a cross-block to parry the strike. Seizing the opening, she snapped a kick toward Sumi's hip.
But it was blocked by Sumi's raised knee!
In the first round, they were evenly matched, and they immediately fell into a fierce exchange.
Their forms shifted constantly, moving like two butterflies. Sharp cries of effort echoed through the dojo.
Yuu watched the scene, utterly stunned!
You have to realize that Ran's strength had at least doubled by now. Yet, looking at the situation on the floor, Sumi Tsukamoto was actually suppressing Ran. It was incredible!
In Yuu's experience, Sumi's physical conditioning was also at a non-human level. It was not at all inferior to Ran's when she wasn't "bursting" her power.
And her karate technique was even more refined than Ran's.
With both factors combined, Ran naturally fell into a disadvantage.
However, Ran had excellent tenacity. Having sparred with Yuu for so long, she managed to barely hold her own.
During the exchange, Ran's understanding of various techniques grew deeper, and she continued to improve.
After about fifteen minutes, both girls were drenched in sweat, their white gi soaked through.
Sumi, however, seemed to get more energized as she fought. Finally, with a sequence of three consecutive spinning kicks, she knocked Ran to the floor.
Yuu immediately trotted over and placed his hand on Ran. Fortunately, she wasn't injured.
Sumi's control of her power was extremely delicate; the three kicks had merely knocked Ran down without hurting her.
"Student Tsukamoto, take a break. I've prepared water for you both!"
Sumi Tsukamoto nodded and walked to the side.
