Opening his eyes in the morning, Yusuke saw the white ceiling of the room, and two beautiful violet eyes.
Akeno was lying on her stomach, her hands cupping her cheeks, a faint smile at the corners of her lips, staring at him without blinking, watching him for who knows how long. As soon as she noticed his eyes opening, Akeno smiled sweetly: "Yusuke-kun, good morning."
Even though he was already very 'familiar' with Akeno, he still became dazed looking at her face up close first thing in the morning. Smiling back, he said, "Good morning."
"It's still early, you could've slept more," he said, flicking her nose playfully. Last night had been intense. They had lost count of how many times they did it. He had worried that she wouldn't be able to get up from the bed in the morning, but it seemed he had been underestimating her physical endurance.
Akeno stuck out her pink tongue, smiling as she said, "Because I really like seeing Yusuke-kun's peaceful sleeping face."
She stood up and walked around the room with her naked body. "Let's go take a bath together."
Yusuke pushed away the quilt and stood up from the bed as well, but he had only taken a few steps when Akeno stared back at him. "Yusuke-kun, don't you think you forgot something important?"
He blinked in confusion, but it did not take long for him to clear it. He arranged his expression into a smile and said to Akeno, "I love you, Akeno."
"Hmm~! More! More!" Akeno clenched her chest, squeezing her thighs as she let out a whimper, desire and joy flashing in her eyes.
Yusuke chuckled at her exaggerated reaction and moved closer to her. He pulled her into his arms, lowering his head to kiss her before speaking in a low, deep voice, "Akeno, sweetheart, I love you."
"This... is... heaven~!" Akeno felt that everything had been worth it. She closed her eyes and whispered wistfully.
...
After taking a bath with Akeno, which naturally started and ended with sex, Yusuke descended to the first floor alongside her. In the elevator, Akeno refused to let go of him, clinging to him like a koala.
The house had eight floors above ground and six below. It needed to be equipped with elevators, and now it had two.
Ding!
When the elevator doors opened, Yusuke was greeted by all his women waiting for him.
"Yu-sama!" As usual, Aika was the first to jump at him. She conveniently ignored Akeno, who was staring at her blankly, and wrapped her arms and legs around Yusuke. "I missed you so much! Yu-sama energy, I need to recharge my Yu-sama energy~!"
Usually, everyone slept together in Yusuke's room, which had a ridiculously large bed. But because he had spent the last night with Akeno, the six women waited for him in front of the elevator doors on the first floor, eager to see him as soon as possible.
Murayama wanted out of habit to scold her, but in the end, she said nothing. Instead, she turned to look at the new addition to Yusuke's harem. She felt happy that Yusuke had gained another fine woman who could shower him with love.
"Good morning, Akeno-san," Sona said, pushing her glasses up as she greeted Akeno, who looked very uncomfortable under the glances from everyone. "The breakfast is ready, let's go, everyone."
Pa!
"Get down, Aika," Yusuke said, slapping her casually. No, he didn't slap her ass. He slapped her across the cheek, and it was a heavy one, enough to leave a red mark on her face.
"Ahnn~! Yu-sama just slapped me, I feel like I came a little~!" Aika jumped down, caressing her face with an unhealthy blush. Ignoring the clear look of disgust Murayama was giving her, she nudged Yusuke and said, "Can you slap my other cheek, please? I think I will come~!"
"Or even better, how about you step on me... You can use me as your chair when you are sitting at the table~! Haaahn! Just thinking about this makes me feel like I am really, really going to cum!"
"Kink freak," Kalawarna rubbed her forehead speechlessly. She couldn't get used to this massive perverted masochist's antics. "It's early in the morning, can't you wait until the night?"
Akeno watched the scene, and for some strange reason, she felt the urge to try it as well. Would it feel good if Yusuke were to slap her across the face, step on her head, and call her by the dirtiest names?
'No, Akeno, what are you thinking?! You are clearly an S! You should be the one dominating others!' Akeno became frightened by her sudden thoughts and shook her head violently, reprimanding herself.
"What's her deal?" Murayama and Raynare cast her a weird glance. Why was this chick shaking her head all of a sudden?
"Good morning, Yusuke-sama!" In the dining hall, Asia was waiting, wearing her school uniform. She greeted him politely while stealing glances at him.
"Good morning, Asia. I hope you have a nice day," Yusuke said, nodding with a smile at her before taking his seat.
'Yusuke-sama is so nice. He greeted me back again today, and he even said, "I hope you have a nice day!" He must be loving me too! It's just that he isn't realizing it yet!' Asia sat down at her seat, lowering her head and screaming giddily in her mind. Her blond hair spilled over her face, hiding her expression from others.
She raised her head just enough to glance at the women at the table, and her eyes, which had been sparkling with joy, darkened. 'It's these women who are taking up Yusuke-sama's time and attention, preventing him from realizing his love for me!'
'Yusuke-sama! Just wait, Asia will free you from these sinful devils and dirty fallen angels,' Asia closed her eyes and clasped her hands together before her chest, praying, 'Oh God, please give me the strength to save my Yusuke-sama!'
The other women didn't think much of her actions, assuming she was just praying before eating. One remarkable thing about Asia is that she looked so harmless that no one noticed her changes or detected her obsessive thoughts.
[Akeno Himejima's Submission: 87 (Dependent)]
[Congratulations, you have successfully completed the Quest: The Sadomasochist!]
[The Sadomasochist! Tame the half-devil, half-fallen angel Akeno Himejima!]
[Task: Raise Akeno Himejima's submission value to at least 80.]
[Reward: Two levels, 1 stat point, a random skill, a random item, 500,000 USD.]
[Penalty: None.]
[Do you want to receive your reward now?]
While eating, Yusuke finally had the time to look at the system's notifications.
'What would happen if I don't accept my reward right now?' Yusuke stared at the last notification and asked the bitch system.
[If you don't receive the reward within a week, it will become void.] The system answered.
'Why is that? That doesn't make sense!' Yusuke scowled. He had originally planned not to accept the rewards and wait until he finished the other quests. The reason was simple, Akeno's quest gave him a fixed two-level reward instead of XP. Leveling up would become increasingly harder, and the experience points he needed would also grow proportionally, which meant that the later he accepted this reward, the better it would be for him.
His original plan was to keep Rias and Akeno's rewards on hold as long as possible, but now it seemed that wasn't possible.
[Don't ask me, I don't make the rules. I just follow them,] the system shrugged her invisible shoulders.
Yusuke didn't speak further. He silently ate his food while thinking. He had become very suspicious of this system, or at least this system's spirit, but he had no way of verifying her words.
A week was not enough for him to finish any of the four quests. Not to mention, making them submit was already difficult, and even meeting them would be hard for him. In the end, left with no other choice, he accepted the reward.
'Allocate the rewards.'
[Processing your reward...]
[Congratulations, you have leveled up!]
[Congratulations, you have leveled up!]
[500,000 USD has been transferred to your bank account!]
[You have gained a free stat point!]
Another wave of notifications flashed before his eyes. At the same time, that familiar warmth spread through his body.
The rewards were generous, except for the 500,000 USD. If it had been in the past, he would have probably been happy, but now that he was already very rich, this amount of money didn't interest him at all.
[You have gained a random skill and a random item. Do you want to choose them now?] Another notification appeared before his eyes.
'Start with the random item first,' Yusuke thought, feeling the new power surging through him. He could tell he had become stronger, harder, faster!
A multicolored gacha wheel spun rapidly before his eyes. Legendary treasures flashed past, such as the Infinity Stones, Gáe Bolg, Saiyan bloodline, and many others.
The wheel slowed, then clicked to a stop on '20 Senzu Beans'.
'...Should I be happy with this result?' Yusuke had not expected a jackpot, but the outcome still left him a little disappointed.
[Do you want to begin the skill selection as well?] the system asked.
'Go ahead,' Yusuke chose to think on the bright side. Twenty Senzu Beans could be life-saving. They were far more effective than Phoenix Tears and could even regrow limbs. Even if he were ever locked in a basement and became a human stick again, the beans would give him hope of escaping.
A similar but different gacha wheel appeared before him. He was already familiar with this one. It spun for a short while before stopping on 'Telekinesis'.
Telekinesis Lv1: A psychic skill that allows the user to influence physical systems without direct interaction. Simply put, it lets you move or manipulate objects with your mind. The effect varies depending on the skill's level and the user's Spirit attribute.
'Telekinesis? Not bad,' Yusuke read the skill's description and muttered, 'At least the name isn't something edgy like Ruler's Authority. I would have died from the cringe.'
Although the random item wasn't some God-tier bloodline, heavenly treasure, universe tree, or other random OP bullshit, Yusuke was still satisfied with the Senzu beans. He was even more pleased with the Telekinesis skill.
With it, he had finally filled the gap in his control abilities. Now he could call himself a perfect warrior with no glaring weakness.
'Allocate the free stat point to Physique,' Yusuke decided after a short pause. Physique was the base of everything, the foundation of his body. It boosted his defense and endurance, but more importantly, it made him 'last longer', which was very important for him.
After leveling up twice and investing his free stat point, his stats now looked like this:
- Level: 10 (2,100/102, 400 XP).
- Strength: 12.
- Agility: 14.
- Spirit: 14.
- Physique: 15.
Skills:
- No Plan B (Max).
- Inventory (Max).
- Observation Haki Lv4.
- Master's Exploitation (Passive) Lv1.
- Master's Mercy Lv1.
- For the Master (Passive) Lv1.
- Fire Dragon Slayer Magic Lv4.
