His right hand folded the natto pizza as his left hand made a plate-like gesture under his mouth, so if some of the topping fell, he could catch it, and it wouldn't dirty his clothes, but all of his actions quickly stopped when he heard Eri's words.
"Ah, don't misunderstand! Mayuri isn't going to become a cosplayer, but her student wished to become a cosplayer, and she happened to get caught up in it, so she decided to help."
"...don't get that nervous."
Nifuji was so speechless when he saw how Eri's words moved so fast like those bullets from the Gatling gun before he chewed his natto pizza, which made him raise his brows, thinking that it wasn't as bad as he thought it would be.
"I thought that you would misunderstand..." Eri sighed in relief as she explained Mayuri's feelings. "You are her first man, and she dears you so much, so of course, she won't do anything that makes you unhappy."
"Thank you." Nifuji felt so lucky to have met Eri and Mayuri. "Me too. Let me treasure you two forever."
"I LOVE YOU!"
Eri felt like her body melted by his loving words as she leaned on him, letting her slender, beautiful body lie on his side.
No, she clung to him and wouldn't let him go, no matter what!
Even if he kicked her, she felt like she might become his stalker, following him around from behind, continuously loving him.
"..." Nifuji.
"But... let's say that Mayuri becomes a cosplayer, are you okay with that?" Eri asked curiously.
Nifuji looked at Eri strangely and asked, "Let's say that I have become a cosplayer, too, someone who would get money by wearing sexy costumes, to attract many women to give me money, are you okay with that?"
"Can you do a sexy cosplay for us?!"
"...that's not the focus."
Nifuji sighed helplessly since even though he planned to talk about a serious topic, this silly woman started to get horny, which made him speechless, yet what could he do?
Due to Narumi's reward, the Love Spot, he had become more handsome, and he also felt like every time he walked, people would take a glance at him twice.
Naturally, Eri was the same, as her hand never left his thigh, tightly grabbed him, moving her hand in a seductive way, and almost dangerously touched that part of him that made him look at her speechlessly.
Still, let's return to the topic of Mayuri and the question was, was it okay for him to let Mayuri return to become a cosplayer?
Some people might not be able to accept this, but he felt that he couldn't accept it.
No, he wasn't jealous, as he wasn't someone who was easily jealous, but he had a bottom line, and he didn't want his women to do something that touched that bottom line.
As for Mayuri's case, being a cosplayer, even though it wasn't a job that was frowned upon, hated, or even ridiculed, it was still filled with prejudice.
Wearing a skimpy, sexy outfit that showed off the fullness of her boobs. Even if she wasn't fully naked and only dangerously displayed part of her body, what would the others think about him?
While Nifuji was okay as long as Mayuri didn't cheat, and he knew that those men who bought the pictures of her could only comfort themselves with their hands or tenga, it was troublesome to live with such a career, especially since not all men were as understanding as him, and many of them would directly express how much money they needed to pay so they could sleep with them?
Or even worse, some might say, "You appeared so slutty in the cosplay. Tell us the truth, you want to be fucked silly by everyone, right, you slut? If so, then let me taste you, too!"
In this world, some people were just meant to be, and following one's passion didn't mean happiness.
Still, even if someone had Nifuji's job, he knew that it was the same since it was impossible to live without trouble.
He just didn't want Mayuri to be hurt, but at the same time, he also wanted her to respect and understand him.
Fortunately, the two of them understood each other and even if he said nothing Mayuri definitely wouldn't become a cosplayer with such sexy costumes since she knew well that instead of having a woman, whose job was to expose their sexy body to the world, he could get someone with a beautiful face, mind, and even bright brain, yet more demure, gentle, and also more conservative.
Still, a feeling was irrational, and even if he was presented with such an amazing woman, he would think that Mayuri was better, as he knew she wouldn't do anything that hurt him.
'Yet, here I am doing many things that hurt her...'
Nifuji was helpless, but he couldn't stop, and all he could do was just spoil Mayuri a lot.
"So, she wanted to help her student?"
"Yes."
Eri then started to talk about Mayuri's story, who happened to meet her cute student, who tried to dress up in a cosplay around the clubroom, wearing a sexy, lewd costume, making Nifuji feel weird as the high school student seemed so far away from him, despite the fact that he had once been a high school student in the past.
"So... that student wanted to become a lewd cosplayer?"
"Yes."
"...." Nifuji.
"Don't worry. Mayuri only wears a lewd outfit in front of you."
"...I know that. Don't worry."
Still, Eri didn't feel better, and even said, "It would be great if you could also come with her, or if you don't want to, you can also stop us, you know?"
"....." Nifuji.
Did she want him to stop or support them?
Nifuji wondered why women were so complicated and troublesome, but he could only sigh inwardly, since if they weren't troublesome, then he might as well get a love doll or an android with an AI implanted, which gave him comfort, but that wouldn't be fun, right?
Love is fun since it is a result of our hard work.
"...when is it?"
"On the weekend."
"Okay, let's go together."
"Yay~!"
Eri clung to him happily, then looked up at him, staring at his handsome face, which made her body grow hotter as her heart beat rapidly, then whispered, "C-Can we rest for a bit? I-I am a bit tired from walking..."
"....."
The restaurant where they ate was only a five-minute walk from their office, and usually Eri could walk for an hour without, yet now, she told him she was tired.
Yet—
"Okay."
Let's go to rest.
What subtle, yet beautiful words, he thought.
Still, as he spent his working day peacefully and lovingly, his day wasn't over, especially when he had to go to meet Chizuru, or... that's what he planned till he remembered the promise that he had made to Hina Tachibana.
"Nifuji, here! Here!"
Under the lamp, her figure jumped excitedly, causing her big boobs to sway in the most violent way, making him gulp before he stepped forward, ready to face what would happen after this.
