In Tokyo: They are heavily dependent on me

Chapter 44. Close your eyes, young lady.

Back home, Kaoru parked her bicycle in front of the ramen shop. Just as she was wondering why the cat, whose body was as thick as a bucket, hadn't appeared yet, the curtain with "Hoshino-ya Ramen" printed on it was lifted.

With a meow, a pair of hands placed the black cat on the ground. Kaoru looked at the owner of those hands—the mistress of the water, wearing a white dress and looking at him with a bewildered expression.

"Ah, Minakami-kun, you've arrived."

Having noticed that the young lady liked cats, Kaoru quietly made a note of it.

If that's the case, next time you're alone with her, you can go to a cat cafe. Girls often reveal their true selves in front of things they like, and she's no exception.

"Yes, I arrived an hour ago."

Mizukami Orina waved her right hand at the black cat that had run away, stood up, and seemed a little reluctant to leave.

Do you like cats?

Xun walked into the store, chatting about topics she liked, intending to get closer to her.

"like."

"Does Shui Shang keep a lot of cats at home?"

Kaoru's mind conjured up an image of the young lady being surrounded by a bunch of cats.

However, this scene was quickly dispelled by the other party's words.

"No, my father has a rule that we can't keep pets."

Hearing her say this, Xun felt puzzled, thinking to herself that since the young lady had already run away from home, would she still care about her father's so-called rules?

It's such a contradiction.

The morning rush hour at the shop had passed, and the ramen shop, after being rearranged, was clearly more attractive to customers than before, selling out the previous day's worth of ramen in just one morning.

Rin was busy preparing ingredients when she saw Kaoru return. She simply said, "Thank you for your hard work, brother," and then continued to do her own thing.

"Let's get down to business, Hoshino-kun."

"You must have something important to tell me."

Looking around at the completely transformed surroundings from the water, his gaze finally settled on Kaoru.

Despite being perfectly calm, Kaoru was completely speechless under that gaze.

The idea of ​​making the young lady dress up as a maid to apologize immediately vanished.

Seeing his silence, Mizukami suddenly stood up and bowed deeply in his direction.

"I'm sorry, I take back what I said before. I jumped to conclusions too early and underestimated Hoshino-kun."

The young lady took the initiative to apologize...

When Xun realized what was happening, he reached out and grabbed her shoulders, intending to help her up. The other woman instinctively frowned, but did not give him a disgusted look or slap his hand away as she had before.

"Anyway, Hoshino-san only asked me to come here for this reason, right?"

After apologizing, Mizukami sat back down in her seat, legs together, her slender hands resting on her thighs, her posture and demeanor exuding the air of a young lady from a wealthy family.

"You should try your best to keep your promise. So, Hoshino-kun, what do you want to ask of me?"

Kaoru sat down in the seat opposite her.

Ask the question cautiously, in a tentative tone.

"If I make a request that will anger you... will you retaliate? Like having your henchmen throw me into the sea to play with your shark friends?"

Xun pointed to several men in black suits who were carrying ingredients in the store.

"No, I wouldn't do that, or perhaps Hoshino-san feels it's inconvenient downstairs? Maybe it would be better to go upstairs?"

"Oh...no problem, come on up."

Mizukami stood up, ordered several subordinates to stand by, and then followed Kaoru upstairs to their familiar bedroom.

She lay down on the bed without any hesitation, her pale purple pupils fixed on Kaoru's body. If what she was seeing was real, her actions clearly conveyed the message that "I am ready."

Kaoru sat down on the edge of the bed, remembering how she had done that kind of thing with Department Head Yanagi just a day earlier...

He was a little worried; if the young lady knew what the two of them had done, she might actually cut off his manhood...

"Hoshino-kun, I can tolerate any request you make. I know you are the kind of person whose heart is already filthy, but unfortunately, I have lost to you. I will not make excuses."

The sounds on the water completely confirmed that it was all true.

She doesn't lie, and she always keeps her promises.

Xun clearly felt his mind was in a mess. The eleven o'clock sunlight shone into the bedroom through the curtains, and he felt it was so bright that he could hardly open his eyes.

"Anything... is fine?" he asked cautiously.

"Hmm... If it's something that Mizukami-kun can do... then it's fine."

"Give me 10 billion," that's something only a wealthy young lady from a water town could do, so it's not possible.

—However, doing O with me is something that Mizukami-kun can do, so it's no problem.

Kaoru sensed her intention and, not wanting to miss this opportunity, went to the bedroom, locked the door from the inside, drew the curtains, and lay down by the water.

With slightly flushed cheeks and moist eyes, the once aloof young lady now lay before him in a posture where she couldn't even resist.

No matter what was done to her, he would only bite his lip and not make a sound. His claws and teeth were all worn down, completely different from the mafia heiress who had ordered him to take potassium cyanide.

Kaoru reached out his right hand and touched the face on the water. The other person stared at him blankly, and he could clearly feel that the body temperature had become higher than ever before.

From this angle... the young lady's figure is completely on full display.

While the rise and fall of her chest wasn't as terrifying as Rin's, it was still within the range that a man's palm could barely cover. Her limbs exposed to the air were slender, and the color of her skin was so white that it looked unhealthy. With her slightly pursed lips, long eyelashes, and hot breaths patting her face, Kaoru could clearly feel that her body had made its own decision.

The young lady, now an adult, exudes feminine charm from every part of her body.

"Close your eyes."

"Hmm... okay."

The young lady obediently did as she was told, but her closed eyelids trembled uncontrollably, and her shoulders reacted in the same way, as if she were a child being disciplined by her parents and feeling fear.

I can hear the sound of breathing.

Noticing the other person's approaching body, she tried her best to suppress the unease that kept welling up inside her, but her shoulders still trembled uncontrollably.

At that time—

"You can open your eyes now."

He opened his eyes on the water.

The first thing that comes into view is pain, which is felt by the body first.

*Smack!* A finger tapped her forehead. She covered her forehead, her face showing a pitiful expression that was so touching it was hard not to be moved.

"What are you doing, Hoshino-kun?"

"If you don't want to do it, just tell me. I won't force you."

"But... isn't Hoshino-kun exactly that kind of person? He likes to force girls..."

"Hey... what does Mizukami-kun take me for, a kidnapper? Or a pervert?"

Xun seemed to be complaining bitterly, shaking her head and speaking helplessly.

Then, he turned his gaze to the relieved face on the water.

"Mizukami-kun, when the day comes that you're willing to do it, I'll do it without hesitation. But for now, it's a different story. I don't like forcing others, and I have no interest in victories achieved through coercion. The way you are right now makes me feel like I'm forcing you."

"So, do you understand now?"
