"Ah, yes, I have received your laundry, Hirotaka-san. Please pick them up later after I have washed them."
Bowing her head, Wakana didn't waste her time, but before she left, she also bowed her head at Fuji, who also gave her a similar response.
Still, as Wakana left, Fuji said, "You are so popular."
"...you sure know how to tease."
"How many women have you conquered?"
Nifuji was speechless. "Do you think I am a Playboy?"
"Aren't you?"
"...."
If so, then aren't you an easy woman, too?
After all, they just talked for a while before she fell on his bed, letting him have her virginity, which she had kept for so long, instead of protecting it for her future husband.
Wait, shouldn't he be her future husband?
It would be the case if she were such a naive woman, but she was an adult woman who had been roughed up by the harshness of society, making her quite hardheaded, strong, and independent.
Then, what was inside her heart?
A living dildo, like what she had said before?
No.
If Nifuji truly believed what he had said, then he would be a fool.
"I might look like this, but I am not good with love."
"You are good with sex, though."
"...do you have to say that every moment?"
Fuji smiled as she apologized, "Sorry for being uncute."
"That jealous part of you is cute, though." Nifuji kissed her hair, making her blush again, as she hissed. "I-I am not jealous!"
"Yes, yes."
What else if she wasn't jealous?
Nifuji looked at her with a smile and asked, "Do you want me to sleep with you?"
"..."
Fuji was tempted, but she took a deep breath, then said, "No... my body is at the limit. I can't do it anymore." She was just a writer, and she hardly, or almost, had any work out, so it was impossible for her to handle his lust more.
"....." Nifuji.
"Then, I will go back first."
"Okay." Nifuji was helpless at Fuji, who wanted to go back, but he nodded. "Do you want another kiss?"
"...okay."
Nifuji smiled, thinking that this woman was cute. "Where do you want them?"
"Them? Not one?"
"Just in case, you ask more."
"....." Fuji.
"...I think you are the one who wants to kiss me."
"You are right."
Nifuji generously admitted and kissed her cheek softly, feeling how smooth it was, before he pulled away and rubbed her silky, short hair gently, and also rubbed the tanuki on her arms. "Take care."
"...ah, um."
"Take care of your Master, too."
"Okay!"
The tanuki wrote a reply on the note.
Still, by then, Fuji left him, but she didn't dare to look at him since if she saw his eyes, she was afraid that she would stay and wouldn't leave him, so she returned to her place as soon as possible, closed the door before she plopped on the ground, and she took a heavy sigh.
It was tough, she thought.
"Are you okay?"
The tanuki quickly asked, and thought to call Nifuji again, but—
"I am fine. Thank you. Also, thank you for staying with me."
Fuji clung to the tanuki so that it wouldn't sneak into Nifuji's place again. Still, when she was away, her smartphone was bombarded with messages and calls, which made her speechless before she answered them.
"Hello?"
"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!"
As Fuji had an exchange with her friend and family, Nifuji was in his room, thinking of Wakana, before he shook his head.
Four.
This was the number of women that he had fucked, and there was one more, if he included Koyanagi Hanako, who gave him a handjob and blowjob.
Yet, he had to say, it was tough to hold on since even now, Koyanagi kept sending him her naughty, lewd pics.
Frankly, it was better for him to expose everything, but he knew that it wouldn't do any good since sometimes, lying would lead to a better outcome.
If the truth led to sadness, hatred, and depression, would it do good?
Nifuji knew that some people might think that it was better to expose everything, since one's time wasn't worth it with such a dishonest fellow, yet he felt like it was better to remain oblivious, so that way, their happiness could be maintained.
Yes, that happiness was fake, but he didn't have the heart to tell Koyanagi's boyfriend, Taro Kabakura.
"Let's stop thinking about her."
Naturally, he slept with Fuji, and he got a reward, but he had to say, it felt weird as he got rewards, yet he wouldn't reject them since he knew the world was a harsh place, and instead of worrying about morality, he should be grateful as that way, he gained an ability to take care of those women, who he had taken.
These women were wonderful, and he knew they had the potential to grow in ways he never could have imagined. If he were somehow fired, he knew that they might take care of him.
"...what am I thinking?"
Wasn't he a sugar papa?
Why did he want to become a gigolo?
Still, as he looked at his reward, he felt strange.
[Fuji has been registered as a No. 5 Sugar Daughter].
[Congratulations, you have received "trending reading" as your reward.]
"..."
What the heck was this?
He accepted the first offer and was at a loss, thinking that this reward was more amazing than he had thought it would be.
Trending reading.
As a writer, unlike the other writers, who wrote based on their feelings, wishes, and talents, Fuji wrote by watching the trends and the requests of the publishers.
She was a writer who wrote a story by writing what sold the most on the trend.
Yes, it was cheap, and also wasn't seen in a good light, yet even so, she lived a good life, no?
Then again, he knew that being a writer wasn't easy, as one was often hit by all the problems with one's thoughts.
The problems in the body could be cured as long as one rested, took medicine, and went to the doctor, but the problems in the mind were more complex, as they could even lead to death.
No, many famous writers in this country often commit suicide, or many famous writers in the world die young, too.
Still, Nifuji felt that he might live a long life.
'Let's focus on the reward first.'
The ability that he got from this reward was simple, which was an ability that allowed him to know what would sell the most.
It worked like an instinct, and frankly, it was ambiguous, making him quite speechless.
Yet, as he wondered what he should do with this ability, he received a chat from Eri and Mayuri.
The chat was simple, which consisted of their picture together and also a simple question, "Are you coming?"
"....."
As he stood up, he wasted no time and went directly to Mayuri's place, ready to go to his two girlfriends, but before that, let's take a bath first, since being careful was necessary.
