Ren stared at the printed manuscript in his lap.
Title: A Young Man's Discipline: Seduced by Her Son's Friend
The opening line was about a mature woman in a sheer robe "pressing her lips to the boy's trembling neck while his mother napped upstairs."
"Oh, come on," Ren muttered. "She based this on last Tuesday?!"
Across from him, Megumi Sakamoto stretched out on the plush futon, glasses slipping a little down her nose, bare legs crossed. She wore a silk kimono so loosely tied it was practically narrative tension.
"I call it... inspired fiction," she purred, taking a slow sip of wine. "But it's missing something."
Ren raised an eyebrow. "Let me guess—'a scene where the muse gets a hands-on rewrite'?"
She gave a mock gasp. "Ren-kun! Are you accusing me of exploiting you for creative purposes?"
"I'm accusing you of being a pervy mastermind," he muttered.
She grinned. "Guilty. Now come sit. We need to go over the… climax scene. It's very delicate. Needs the right tension… the right moans—ahem—moods."
[LUST THREAD DETECTED: Megumi Sakamoto]
[PASSIVE ABILITY UNLOCKED: Storyteller's Desire – She gets hotter the more you fluster her.]
[System Note: Careful, Ren. She gets off on reactions.]
Ren sat beside her. Bad move. Her thigh brushed his. She "accidentally" spilled a little wine on his shirt.
"Oh no," she said, not sounding sorry. "You'll have to take that off."
"I have others—"
"No, no, the vibe will be off if you're not shirtless. My writing depends on proper atmosphere."
He blinked.
She held up a pen like a weapon. "Take it off, or I'll draft in a scene where the MILF punishes him for disobedience."
Ren sighed… and pulled the shirt over his head.
Megumi's eyes raked him slowly. "Mmm. Perfect. You're already better than the last three male leads I imagined. They didn't blush nearly as hard."
[MEGUMI AFFECTION +10 | LUST +20]
[STORYTELLER'S DESIRE: ACTIVE]
They read the scene aloud together.
It was... obscene.
The main character had his face shoved between the thighs of a "strict, sultry older woman" while she narrated every sensation like a live audiobook. Her hands in his hair. Her voice in his ear. Her scent…
Ren swallowed. "This is just a fantasy about what you wanted to do to me last night."
Megumi beamed. "Darling, I'm writing what I plan to do next week."
She leaned in close, lips brushing the shell of his ear. "But only if your critique is good enough."
His breath caught.
[HORMONAL HAZARD: BLOOD FLOW REDIRECTION IN PROGRESS…]
[WARNING: Pants Integrity at 12%]
But just as things were heating up—
The doorbell rang.
Megumi blinked, annoyed. "Who the hell—?"
Ren nearly fell off the futon.
"I-it might be—!"
Too late.
The door slid open.
Yumi Arai.
In heels.
In a pencil skirt.
Yumi froze.
Ren froze.
Megumi set down her wine, utterly unbothered.
"Well. This is awkward. Come in, Yumi-chan. I was just having Ren read my… manuscript."
Yumi's eyes narrowed. Her voice was ice.
"Oh? Is that what the kids are calling it now?"
[M.I.L.F. DUEL DETECTED: Megumi Sakamoto vs. Yumi Arai]
Stakes: Dominance over "Creative Time"
Trigger: Caught shirtless with the wrong mom
Yumi placed the bags down with precision that made Ren's soul leave his body.
"I just came to check what was going on. I remember you heading home, ren-kun? What are you doing here? Well....Whatever it was, Clearly I'm late."
Megumi stood, smoothing her kimono. "You're not late, darling. Just poorly timed."
Ren tried to speak. "L-Ladies, this isn't—"
"Quiet, muse," Megumi said sweetly.
Yumi's voice dropped. "Muse?"
Megumi: "For my novel. He's quite… inspiring."
Yumi's smile went full Stepford. "Oh? I guess I'll just have to inspire him harder tonight."
[SYSTEM DUEL STATUS: IN ESCALATION]
[YUMI ARAI POSSESSIVENESS: 45%]
[MEGUMI SAKAMOTO MANIPULATION: 37%]
Megumi sashayed over, kissed Ren on the cheek—with tongue just grazing his skin.
"Thank you for the edits, sweetheart. We'll write more… tonight."
Yumi's eyes flashed. "He has dinner plans."
Megumi whispered to him as she passed: "Don't worry, baby. I'll write you in later."
And just like that, Yumi held Ren, took him outside, in the car and straight to his house.
[In Ren's House]
Ren turned slowly to Yumi.
She walked toward him. Slow. Dangerous.
"Ren-kun."
"H-Hey Yumi-san—"
"Take off your pants."
He blinked. "Wait, what?"
"I need to check something."
He hesitated.
She reached for his waistband. "Were you aroused in her presence?"
[ALERT: JEALOUS HOMEMAKER MODE – ACTIVE]
Ten minutes later, Ren was being "inspected" against the wall while Yumi "reclaimed her property" in ways that would make even Megumi blush.

[New Trait: Home Turf Advantage – Bonus seduction power in any domestic space]
[Megumi Sakamoto – Affection +10 | Lust +25 | Climax Chapters Progress: 2/10]
Ren lay on the futon, limp and soul-deep exhausted.
Yumi was buttoning her blouse, satisfied.
"I'll be back soon
He nodded weakly.
She leaned in and kissed his forehead. "My good boy."
She left.
He stared at the ceiling.

"He moaned like a virgin at a brothel buffet… perfect. But I'll need another session. Maybe in the shower next time."
She grinned.
"And I'll bring props."
