Meanwhile, at a Black Organization base, Fusae Campbell, Chianti, and Stout were tending to their wounds.
The three were in a pathetic state, with Stout's injuries being the most severe, followed by Chianti's.
Fusae had only suffered minor superficial injuries.
The helicopter's emergency landing had gone wrong, crashing into shipping containers at the pier and exploding; the three were incredibly lucky to have escaped alive.
After tending to her wounds, Fusae dialed Rum's number with a dark expression.
"Rum, care to explain why the reinforcement you sent, Aquavit, was also an undercover agent? He almost got us all killed."
"Why are there so many traitors in the Japanese region you're responsible for? I seriously doubt your leadership; I will be reporting this in detail to the Boss."
"...Heh, you're asking how I handled him? How else do you handle a traitor? My marksmanship has always been precise."
"But your precious Curacao isn't coming back; she was blown to pieces."
"Rum, I'm afraid you'll have to step out and take charge personally from now on. If you keep hiding, the two or three kittens left won't get anything done."
"If the situation in Japan continues to deteriorate like this, I will suggest the Boss dismantle the Japan Action Zone. You should find a quiet job and retire."
Fusae showed Rum no respect at all, hanging up immediately after speaking.
Beside her, Stout and Chianti didn't even dare to make eye contact with her.
Fusae ignored them, stood up, changed her clothes, and boarded a private base jet to an unknown destination.
After dismissing Tooru Amuro, Yuu Hoshimiya could finally continue with his own affairs.
The Pure Black Nightmare was officially over, but his work for the day was far from done.
First, he had to explain to Ran Mouri and the others that Vermouth had disguised herself as Azusa Enomoto, and then clarify Curacao's current status.
Yuu used the most concise language possible to explain everything quickly, avoiding a situation where Mary Akai and Masumi Sera might overhear something when they came down for treatment.
Vermouth had offended quite a few people in the past.
To avoid unnecessary trouble and the risk of his harem catching fire, he didn't intend to tell the other women about Vermouth just yet.
This was especially true for Jodie Starling and Mary Akai.
These two were essentially mortal enemies with Vermouth; even if they were all contracted, they would likely have a heavy score to settle.
It was better to guide the resentment out rather than block it; otherwise, a major explosion was inevitable.
Yuu wouldn't stop them from resolving their own grudges; his only job was to ensure no one actually died.
Of course, that would wait until everyone was fully contracted.
When that time came, they would be just like the women he had already contracted.
Those who could help Yuu and wanted to stay would remain in Japan.
The others would head to the Kingdom of Vespania first, waiting for Yuu to finish his plans before reuniting.
To avoid making his beauties wait too long, Yuu was rapidly accelerating the endgame of his plan.
He wanted to reunite with everyone as soon as possible and lead the world into a new chapter.
Ran, Yukiko Kudo, and the others were curious about Vermouth, especially Yukiko, as they were old friends.
However, seeing that Yuu didn't want to elaborate, they were understanding enough not to press him.
Shortly after that topic ended, Mary and Masumi pushed open the entryway door and walked in.
The sharp mother and daughter immediately sensed the strange atmosphere in the room, and the energetic Masumi asked directly.
"Teacher Hoshimiya, what were you all talking about?"
Yuu let out a casual laugh. "Nothing much. It's getting late; we should get started with the treatment."
"Heh!"
Masumi feigned confusion. "Teacher Hoshimiya, it's not even ten o'clock. Is that 'late'?"
"It's not late for you, but it's quite late for me," Yuu teased. "After treating little Mary-chan, I still have to go deliver some 'warmth' to a lonely beauty."
The Mary/Sera duo now knew a thing or two about Yuu's absurdly complex relationships with women.
Both reacted instantly; as a virgin high school girl, Masumi's face flushed red as she imagined the scene.
Mary's counterattack was more direct; she turned her small head away and spat out a cold word: "Pervert!"
Strange. Hearing this middle-schooler with a child's face and a woman's bust call him a pervert was unexpectedly stimulating.
A strange thought flashed through Yuu's mind before he continued to urge them. "Alright, alright, Mary. We need to start a new round of treatment."
He wasn't entirely making things up earlier.
After treating Mary, he really did have to fulfill his duties as a boyfriend according to the schedule Noah had arranged.
After some banter, the atmosphere in the room returned to normal.
Hearing Yuu's urging, Mary's small face was also tinged with a blush.
Masumi spoke up as well. "Then I'll leave her in your hands, Teacher Hoshimiya."
She turned and took Ran's hand, the two of them heading to the sofa to chat and pass the time.
Seeing that Yuu had business to attend to, Yukiko didn't stay any longer either.
After a long day, she wanted to take a quick shower and get some rest.
"Let's go, little Mary." Yuu led the shrunken Mary toward the bedroom.
The Treatment Session
They entered the bedroom and locked the door.
The blonde middle-school girl, wearing a gray T-shirt and beige shorts, stood before the wardrobe.
She had her arms crossed over her chest, looking angry, which gave her a unique charm and seductive appeal.
Mary threatened, "This time, when you treat me, you are not allowed to do those 'strange things' like the last two times. Do you hear me?"
Yuu double-locked the door and played dumb. "Mary, what are you talking about? When did Big Brother ever do anything strange to you?"
Mary's eyes went wide.
He's denying it after devouring everything but the main course?
During the first treatment, there was massaging and sucking.
The second time was even more outrageous; he made her biting and grinding him, and even dragged her into the bath together.
The third time, the fourth time...
Since Mary moved in, she had undergone several treatments.
Each time, Yuu had taken every possible liberty with her body.
Aside from actual mucosal contact and the exchange of bodily fluids, she had basically been eaten clean.
Through these intimate contacts, Mary's favorability toward Yuu had skyrocketed, essentially reaching its peak.
It wasn't that Mary was easy to conquer, but that Yuu was using a "cheat."
As his three main attributes grew stronger, his "special attack" against the opposite sex became even more powerful.
Especially during intimate physical contact, the effect was nearly identical to that of a Succubus/Incubus.
That was how Mary—a former MI6 agent, mother of three, a woman who had experienced massive ups and downs and possessed vast life experience—could be taken down so quickly.
The same logic applied to Curacao and Vermouth.
Even though they had only known him for a short time, the physical intimacy they shared with Yuu was significant.
In terms of difficulty, Mary, Vermouth, and the memory-restored Curacao were at the top of the list.
But Yuu was an existence that defied common sense.
That was why these three "difficult" women seemed to be captured so easily.
How could he? Those are all such important memories. Has he forgotten them all? What does he take me for?
Mary was already feeling indignant about Yuu's playboy ways, and now her frustration was nearly unbearable.
The girl's emerald eyes grew cold as she stared out the window, refusing to speak, looking like she wouldn't cooperate with the treatment at all.
Yuu stepped forward, his warm, large hand gently stroking her blonde hair in a "head-pat kill."
He spoke in the tone one uses to coax a child, his voice soft and magnetic.
"Those weren't 'strange things,' Mary. It's just that you're so cute, Big Brother couldn't help himself."
"I felt very guilty afterward. Can little Mary forgive Big Brother?"
Hearing those words, Mary felt a sense of satisfaction, even a bit of pride in her own charm.
She turned her face away, but the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl upward.
The busty blonde "middle-schooler" replied petulantly, "Hmph. I won't forgive you!"
Seeing this, Yuu knelt down and unleashed his ultimate move!
He rubbed his head against her fair neck, actually starting to act like a spoiled child.
"Mary, please forgive Big Brother!"
Looks are truly everything. With Yuu's peak-level handsomeness, nothing he did felt out of place.
The lethality of this "spoiled act" was at maximum level. The psychologically mature Mary was instantly KO'd. Her cute face turned a vivid red, and she panicked.
"What are you doing? Fine! Get up! I forgive... I forgive you!"
Yuu's face shifted instantly, returning to his adult persona. He reached out, grabbed Mary's slender waist, and picked her up.
He rubbed his face against her left breast and pressed further. "Then can Big Brother still 'not help himself'?"
Mary's face turned a deep crimson, her emerald eyes misting over. She stared in disbelief at this man whose thick-skinned nature knew no bounds.
She sat on his arm in silence.
Yuu began rubbing his head against her again. "Is that a yes?"
Toward Mary, whose actual age meant she could literally be his mother, Yuu felt zero psychological pressure acting this way.
Mary was stunned. How can someone be this thick? He has to ask for a verbal confirmation? Isn't silence a default 'yes'?
You want to keep asking? I'll give you an answer!
She exploded into action, her small fists hammering against Yuu's head. "No! Absolutely not!"
Yuu let out a cry of feigned pain and tossed the violent little beauty onto the soft bed, dodging her punches.
Soon, Yuu moved in, pinning Mary's small hands and restraining her.
"Alright, alright. It was just a joke. Big Brother isn't the kind of person you think I am."
At these words, the blonde girl's eyes were filled with pure disdain.
"Ahem. I'll stop teasing. Let's start the remaining part of the session. Looking at your cough, Mary, we need at least five or six more treatments to cure it completely!"
The girl was dumbfounded.
At their first meeting, he said five or six times. They had already done it several times, and at most two or three more should have been enough. How was it back to five or six?
Mary instantly understood Yuu's intentions. She glared at him with her emerald eyes and let out a hmph, but didn't say anything further.
Instead, she obediently sat up and removed her T-shirt, revealing her tender upper body and the wound on her chest.
Every time she saw Yuu, it felt breathtaking. For such a small, lovely creature, the contrast was simply too stark.
The "Electric" Therapy
Yuu skillfully gathered his mana and activated his healing magic.
His palm settled over the gunshot wound on the girl's chest, and a cool, healing magic poured in.
Mary couldn't help but tilt her head back and let out a breath, clearly enjoying it.
Looking at the girl's look of pure pleasure, Yuu allowed a wicked grin to form.
In a moment, I'll do the same thing I did to Curacao—conduct electricity through my hands. If I don't turn this shrunken blonde 'mare' into a completely submissive pet, I'll take her last name!
Yuu was fully confident. His magical talent was already immense, and as his three core attributes grew daily, his talent and strength improved alongside them.
Ever since developing various ways to use magic as an "aid," he practiced them frequently.
While he used electrical stimulation less often, his superhuman aptitude and near-infinite mana made the trick second nature.
He had mastered the control to a microscopic level, allowing tiny currents to cling to his skin without harming himself.
Usually, he didn't use this trick, as it ended things too quickly and robbed him of the experience.
But when he was in a hurry, or when the day's "workload" was heavy, this little trick was invaluable.
Whether they were the sensitive type or the more durable type, not a single woman had failed to surrender immediately once Yuu used this technique.
Those who were already sensitive would reach climax after climax until they passed out from sheer pleasure.
Yuu's large hand remained over the wound on Mary's chest, continuing the "treatment."
The girl lying on the bed began to radiate intense heat, raising the room's temperature by several degrees. Her jade-like skin was completely flushed red.
Her slender, tender, snow-white body now looked like a boiled shrimp.
Her exquisite face was crimson, her pores were wide open, and sweat poured out, soaking the bedsheets beneath her.
Her short blonde hair was plastered to her forehead. Her emerald eyes were misty and full of confusion as she stared at Yuu.
Why is it different this time? Why does it feel like there's an electric current? This feeling...
It's so strange!
Mary couldn't help but speak.
"Big Brother..."
That "Big Brother" from the mouth of this middle-school-sized beauty was so cute and sweet that Yuu's own body felt a wave of numbness.
Yuu pressed his hands against her soft body and began to massage her pressure points.
The electrical stimulation intensified. Mary's back arched, her white toes curling and digging into the sheets. Her green eyes rolled back, nearly turning white.
Yuu stroked Mary's cheek and chuckled softly. "Don't be afraid. The later stages of the treatment require more intensity. A strong reaction is normal."
He then grinned wickedly and stole a kiss from the defenseless blonde girl.
"But if you can't hold it back, little Mary, it's okay to scream!"
Hearing this, Mary glared at him.
What do you mean 'it's okay to scream'? I have a reputation!
If Masumi hears me out there, she'll think I'm doing something shameful in here!
The blonde girl pursed her lips, saying nothing, only letting out heavy, ragged breaths through her nose.
Yuu, with a wicked smile, increased the contact area of his hands and the flow of mana.
Mary sucked in a sharp breath of air. Her small hands reached for Yuu's large ones, her eyes full of panic and pleas for mercy.
Eventually, it became too much to bear. She grabbed the pillow next to her and bit down on it with her pearly white teeth.
"Mmmph! Mmm! Nnn!"
Her head felt like it was buzzing, as if a thousand giant bells were ringing simultaneously. Her soul felt like it was about to leave her body.
Watching the blonde, busty beauty as gray impurities began to seep from her pores, Yuu was quite surprised.
Is this 'Lightning Infiltration' leading to 'Marrow-Cleansing and Sinew-Transforming'?
Did my continuous, intense healing of Mary for dozens of minutes lead to this?
This move he developed out of purely sexual interest actually had such a profound effect?
Yuu was delighted. He quickly performed a detailed scan of Mary's body, terrified that he might have "broken" the busty middle-schooler.
His healing magic was on standby, ready to be deployed at any sign of a negative reaction.
However, the scan showed that Mary was in peak health.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Who knew a mild magical current could have this effect?
This single session of marrow-cleansing was comparable to one round of dual cultivation.
But for Yuu, it was a bit boring, and it required a certain level of endurance from the woman.
Overall, it couldn't hold a candle to dual cultivation after a contract was established.
Still, this move was great for "luring"... ahem, for using on beauties who weren't yet contracted and were still being "conquered."
With such visible results, who would dare question his miraculous "Traditional Chinese Massage" techniques?
Yuu didn't find the blonde girl dirty at all. Although the smell wasn't great, it was within acceptable limits.
A quick wash would make her fragrant, white, and tender again.
His electrified hands continued to roam over Mary's body, never letting up, leaving her in a state of continuous trembling.
Only when the impurities stopped seeping out did Yuu withdraw his hands and carry the limp, exhausted beauty into the bathroom.
The Clean-Up
Yuu removed the shorts Mary could no longer wear, turned on the hot water, and picked up a washcloth and body wash to begin scrubbing her down.
Mary's head was still spinning; she had no idea what was going on.
Given her background, she couldn't understand why her body had secreted those mysterious substances.
However, she felt incredibly humiliated. She was so flustered she didn't even dare look Yuu in the eye.
My body actually leaked that weird stuff in front of him... I look like a little mud-monkey. What will he think of me?
He'll definitely think something is wrong with my body.
Mary felt like crying. She was overcome with self-consciousness, even considering moving out of Yuu's home and hiding away.
Yuu, naturally, saw through her thoughts and began to explain with a smile.
Of course, it wasn't the total truth.
"Mary, you're very lucky. My treatment and massage actually triggered a rare 'Marrow-Cleansing and Sinew-Transforming' event!"
"Marrow-cleansing? What does that mean?"
"It means that since birth, the human body accumulates countless impurities. Marrow-cleansing is the process of washing out those impurities hidden in the skin, meridians, and bone marrow. That's the state you were just in."
"After going through this, your body will be incredibly healthy—just like a newborn baby's. Look!"
Yuu ran the washcloth over Mary's chest, wiping away the grime. A rinse of hot water revealed skin that was as pink and tender as an infant's.
Seeing this, Mary's eyes filled with joy. She even began helping him scrub, her negative emotions vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Magic and supernatural matters were best left until after the contract was signed.
Unlike Kaori Niina and Hina Wada, Mary and Vermouth surely had deep-seated wishes that wouldn't be easy to fulfill.
Therefore, Yuu wasn't in a hurry to link with them.
On the other hand, for Curacao, who had already broken away from the Organization, he planned to establish a link as soon as possible. If things went well, he could complete the contract on the spot.
At that time, whether he sent Curacao back to the Organization or kept her by his side, he would have another powerful assistant.
