Chapter 82: Ayaka (3)

Ayaka (3)

“Ayaka-san, your cheeks look cold.”

“They’re extremely cold. I think we will see a lot of snow tomorrow. Kyaaa♡”

Yuuta placed both his hands on Ayaka’s cheeks, passing on his warm body temperature.

“Aww♡ So nice~”

“How about we drink a warm coffee?”

“I will get it ready, so please take a seat, Yuuta-sama.”

Ayaka brewed fresh coffee in a quick and experienced manner.

“How was the detached building in the Yoshiwara residence?”

“It was quite a surprise. It made me quite happy.”

“It sounds like you were able to spend a sweet time with Aoi-sama.”

“E-Ehehe.”

Starting with December the 24th, Yuuta had remained in the detached mansion until yesterday. As such, he had returned to this room for the first time in a good while, too.

Ayaka placed two cups of hot coffee on the table.

“Now then, first I’m going to report about 『You and Me – Memories of Love』.”

“It’s great to hear that it went on sale without a hitch.”

“It was only possible thanks to your assistance, Yuuta-sama. The sales have been quite crazy.”

This work is hosted on mananovel.com

The 24th, when Yuuta had sex with Aoi for the first time, was also the date for the game, where one could experience junior high and high school together with Dreamseducer Yuu, to go on sales. The game’s title was 『You and Me – Memories of Love』.

“It’s because the propagation of the Succubus Suits and dildos has made huge progress, right?”

“Your exclusive VR goggles are flying off the shelves at the same rate.”

“Given that the existing VR goggles can handle it just fine, everyone must buy it for me, huh?”

Succubus Suit and dildos for the touching sensation, an exclusive headset for the hearing, and exclusive VR goggles for the visual presentation; the women, who bought all of those, were likely enjoying a sweet school life with Dreamseducer Yuu around this time.

“The patch, which was made available for free as a result of the conference, gave great joy to the women who downloaded it. But, are you really okay with this? You decided on it so quickly.”

“I think it’s better for the society if the organization publicly manages the business, which has grown in scale up to this point, instead of me.”

Yuuta had transferred the sex toy business to Dreamseducers. He’d keep receiving a certain amount of compensation in the future, but that didn’t mean he wanted more money than he could handle. At this point, just the compensation he got so far was already plenty to fill his coffers sufficiently.

It’s already grown to a scale where I can’t bear the sole responsibility for things.

“The sales of the Succubus Suit in Hokkaidou are going very well, too. We plan to start selling the suit in Kyouto and Fukuoka at the beginning of next year. The advance orders over there are looking very promising, too.” Thanks for reading on ManaNovel!

“I’ll be happy as long as goods keep spreading.”

“The number of V-Streamers in Dreamseducers has been steadily growing as well.”

The state aimed for men other than Dreamseducer Yuu to propagate sex goods. They had to avoid a situation where the object of the sex goods, which brought great happiness to the women of Nihon, was concentrated on Dreamseducer Yuu alone.

Having said that, it was Dreamseducer Yuu who was most proficient at handling the various sex toys.

It was planned for Dreamseducer Yuu’s sex goods to be mostly used as a political measure in the regions with no Exclusive Male Zone. At the same time, revitalizing those areas was a new objective for the activities of Dreamseducers.

“Keita-senpai’s activities are quite amazing as well. Currently he has eight indirect affiliates, right?”

“Yes. He has acknowledged the eight girls, whom Hazuki-sama recommended, as his indirect affiliates. I hear he has produced great results in managing his class while using Angel Suits.”

“He rose to D-Rank, didn’t he?”

Keita received a rank-up during the Ranking Exam at the end of the second term.

“It’s planned to spread the Angel Suit with Keita-sama as key advertiser. And it seems like other men have started to become interested in it.”

“It’s likely because the Angel Suit is the best for nicely interacting with direct and indirect affiliates.”

“The technological joint venture with the Yoshiwaras has proven to be outstanding, I would say.”

Dreamseducers and the Yoshiwara family had begun to cooperate with each other after forming a friendly relationship.

As soon as this topic came up, Ayaka asked Yuuta what she wanted to hear from him the most today.

“What did Aoi-sama say?”

“After listening to the whole story from me, she only said that she trusts me.”

“The magnanimity and dignity of the first wife, huh?”

“It’s because you and Boss skillfully explained things to Nanase-san and Tomoe-san in advance.”

Together with Boss, Ayaka had briefly told Yuuta about the content of the meeting in the Yoshiwara residence. Thanks to that, he had learned that Dreamseducers had decided to build a cooperative structure with the Yoshiwaras and that they got them to agree with the explanation of Yuuta’s painful memories having been sealed away.

“The Yoshiwaras seemed to be interested in the theme park you suggested, Yuuta-sama.”

“Ooohh. However, it’s going to be quite a challenge.”

“Because the women of farmer and fisher families have deep connections with the Yoshiwaras, it appears they plan to first try constructing a theme park in the outskirts of Toukyou.”

Even though Ayaka wanted to know how Yuuta had explained things to Aoi and whether Aoi had really just said that she was trusting him, she didn’t ask him any details. As long as it wasn’t a situation where Yuuta worried about his relationship with Aoi due to his activities for Dreamseducers, it was best for her to not pry too deeply.

After all, she expected Yuuta to come consult her, if there was some problem. Moreover, Ayaka understood that Aoi’s thoughts about Dreamseducers were a different matter altogether.

“The development of the next game is advancing, too.”

“Even I was surprised when I heard about 『That Love』 being chosen from the various, available game ideas.”

“It has the most applications for motion capturing.”

“Oh, I see. Does that mean there’s unexpectedly many masochistic women around?”

“Maybe. I thought it’s a special fetish though… Then again, it’s slightly different from masochism as a concept up until now. In the end, it’s going to develop into a romantic relationship with Dreamseducer Yuu.”

“True.”

“The entries for 『That Love』 were 50% soft M, 40% M, and 10% hard M. Only a few women applied for extreme M.”

“Are those few women, who applied for extreme M, the people you meant with a special fetish?”

“You could say so. But, even the content prepared for the extreme M didn’t contain any real violence and would ultimately let the player feel Dreamseducer Yuu-sama’s love.”

The release of 『That Love』 was still far ahead. The women of this society would likely be engrossed with 『You and Me – Memories of Love』 for a good while to come. Especially during this year’s end-of-the-year period with its heavy snowfall forecast throughout New Year’s Eve. They’d obviously prepare staying in their warm rooms while making out with Dreamseducer Yuu over going outside into the cold.

“Now that you and Aoi-sama have become lovers, the class will become even livelier, starting with the third term.”

“Oh, come to think of it, when I talked with Aoi-san about the class’s activities during the third term, I came up with a little idea.”

“Did you think of something lovely again?”

“The detached mansion, which the Yoshiwaras built for me, is quite spacious.”

“Well, it’s a mansion for your sake, after all.”

“Currently, the servants of the Yoshiwaras are taking care of my various needs, but how about having the girls of my class take turns in handling those tasks?”

As caretakers they’d basically obtain the opportunity to live together with Yuuta. If they could take care of him together with Aoi, the probability of them becoming his true lovers, and not just lovers in name, would rise considerably, Yuuta suspected.

“I think that’s a truly beautiful idea. Does that also include the commoner girls?”

“Of course.”

“The girls, who were able to join your class, are truly blessed.”

Ayaka had heard the rumors about other classes. Especially when considering the current state of Takuya’s class, you could describe Yuuta’s class as heaven.

“Ah, also…,” Yuuta said while looking somewhat bashful, “I gave Aoi-san a nickname…umm, middle name.”

“Middle name? You mean the custom they have in the Sachar Kingdom?”

“Yes. After hearing about it from Romoe-san, I thought it was a really nice idea.”

The Sachar Kingdom, the homeland of Tomoe’s father, has a custom of men granting a middle name, which would also serve as a nickname, to their wives and girlfriends. In Sachar, the official family name was only granted to the wives, just like in Nihon. But, in addition to the surname, the men would grant a nickname to the women they liked and the women would henceforth introduce themselves with the nickname following after their first name. Since a wife would also receive a nickname, she would introduce herself as follows: First name – nickname – family name. Given that the nickname would end up between first name and family name, it was called “middle name” in Sachar.

“I chose 『Yuri』 as Aoi-san’s middle name.”

“Yuri as in lily, right? I have heard many lilies have been planted on the grounds of the Yoshiwara residence after you gave a fan with a lily pattern to Aoi-sama.”

“Aoi-san has also started to like lilies a lot, and that’s why Yuri.”

“In that case, Aoi-sama will be called Aoi Yuri plus the family name you’re going to create in the future.”

“The custom of giving middle names doesn’t exist in Nihon. It won’t be an official name, so she wouldn’t be called like that, would she?”

“She will likely refrain during official events, but I think Aoi-sama will be referred to with her middle name on private occasions.”

“It’d make her very happy. Well, if it’s in private, it’s okay to call her like that, right?”

“There’s no problem with that at all.”

And then Yuuta stared at the broadly smiling Ayaka, saying, “Please allow me to give you a middle name as well someday, Ayaka-san.”

“…So I can look forward to it?”

“Absolutely!”

If Ayaka had been slightly younger, she’d have likely hugged Yuuta then and there. But, as an adult, she suppressed the desire to hug him with an iron will.

But as she did so, it led to her asking herself why she was holding back in the first place.

Isn’t it fine to hug him? Rather, won’t Yuuta-sama feel happy from me hugging him as well!?

The instant she tried to leap into his chest after making up her mind like that, Yuuta’s smartphone rang.

“Ah, Aoi-san is calling.”

“Ugh! P-Please go ahead and pick it up.”

Seeing Ayaka stopping herself from hugging him, Yuuta gently clasped her hand while using his other hand to answer Aoi’s call.

“Hello, it’s me.”

『Aoi here. Please forgive me for calling you at such a late hour』

Yuuta felt a faint trace of panic from Aoi’s voice.

“Is something wrong?”

『Actually, just now…Akari-san has come visiting』

“Eh? Akari-san, you say…?”

『Yes. The same Akari-san who participated in the evening ball together with Yukishiro-san』

Akari, whom Yukishiro had recommended as Yuuta’s direct affiliate, had visited the Yoshiwaras. Yuuta had also been worried about Yukishiro and Takuya after that ball.

As he had scruples to question Aoi, who had just become his girlfriend, about another woman, Yuuta asked Ayaka to investigate Yukishiro’s situation and got a report from her. She had informed him that she couldn’t tell him anything about Takuya, but she said that Yukishiro had been put under house arrest in the Minato residence and that Yukishiro still remained as Takuya’s direct affiliate.

“Why did Akari-san visit you?”

『Yuuta-sama…umm…would you listen to a selfish request from me!?』

“Huh? S-Sure.”

Once Yuuta answered, he heard Manami’s voice from next to Aoi. After listening to them discussing something for a bit, Manami suddenly talked to him through the phone.

『Yuuta-sama, it’s me, Manami』

“Okay.”

『Please forgive me for suddenly butting into your call with Aoi-sama. Things over here have progressed quite rapidly』

“I-I see. Is there some sort of problem over there?”

『I suppose you could call it a problem. I know you just returned to your room this morning, but if you will forgive us, could you please come to your mansion in the Yoshiwara residence right away? I would like you to listen to Akari-san’s story in person』

Akari appearing at the Yoshiwaras was doubtlessly related to Yukishiro.

“I understand. I will head over at once.”

『Thank you very much. We will be waiting for you』

After finishing the call with Minami, Yuuta looked at Ayaka and said, “I’m heading to the Yoshiwara residence.”

“Okay, I will call a car right away, so please wait. Also, please contact me, if I can help you in any way.”

“Thanks.”

After quickly getting everything ready, Yuuta opened the door once the car arrived in front of his room.

The sky was covered by a thick layer of clouds.
