Chapter 54 – After The Fireworks (2)
Sakuragi Yuka grew up in a very affluent family.
Her father was a reasonably successful department head at a company, and the Japanese economy was doing well.
Thanks to that, her family was well-off, and they lived a happy life day by day.
“W-what? The company went bankrupt?!”
That was until the bubble burst in Japan.
The nightmare of the bubble, which plunged the entire nation of Japan into a recession, engulfed the Sakuragi family.
Her father was laid off, and her mother, who usually took care of the household and Yuka’s education, started working part-time.
Fortunately, they didn’t end up on the streets right away, as was common in Japanese society.
Thanks to her parents’ quick response, the losses were relatively small.
The problem was the endless recession in Japan.
Her father tried to get back on his feet. Over and over again.
Fortunately, his efforts were successful.
He got a job at a company that was smaller but more solid than his previous one.
However, as it was a small company, it was difficult for the family to live comfortably.
Her mother still worked part-time at places like supermarkets, and Yuka, with little pocket money and no reason to go out, focused solely on her studies at home.
As a result, Yuka was frequently among the top students in her entire school.
And that’s where the problem arose.
Yuka became convinced during her high school years.
‘With this deviation score… I can get into a prestigious university.’
She believed that with her abilities, she could get into a university that every Japanese citizen had heard of.
It wasn’t just wishful thinking. Her university-related deviation score test results and her teachers all said the same thing.
However, there was one problem…
‘Tuition is a burden…’
With the money she was currently earning from her part-time job, she couldn’t possibly afford to go to the university she wanted.
‘I might be able to manage if I get a scholarship, but…’
Even then, the amount was still too close for comfort, and Yuka couldn’t help but worry.
After much deliberation, Yuka came to a conclusion…
‘I have to sell my first time.’
She decided to engage in compensated dating.
It might sound like the thoughts of a total slut, but it was a conclusion she had reached after much careful consideration.
To be precise, she wasn’t planning on selling her body consistently.
‘I’ll sell my first time for a high price, and then work diligently at my part-time job.’
She decided to sell her first time, the most important experience for a woman, for the highest price possible.
When Yuka first started thinking about this, she had no intention of doing such a thing.
She thought she could just work diligently at her part-time job, but even then, it seemed difficult to cover her living expenses on top of her tuition.
That’s why she planned to make a big score to pay for her tuition and then earn her living expenses through part-time work.
One might wonder if her first time was worth that much, but she was quite beautiful.
At least, there would be a line of men willing to buy her first time.
Her skin was a bit tanned because of her friends, but there were still plenty of people who wanted her.
That’s why she decided to sell her first time for a high price.
Having decided to sell her first time, Yuka mobilized all her connections to find someone who was rich, not too old, and wouldn’t want a continuous relationship.
It was a condition that seemed impossible, but surprisingly, such a person existed.
It was Sato Daichi, who would later become her husband.
Surprisingly, Daichi was the perfect match for Yuka.
He thought that a virgin was more suitable than a street prostitute to lose his virginity, and Daichi wanted a relationship that he would never see again for his future success.
But, couldn’t that person have been anyone other than Yuka?
Rumor has it that the reason he wanted Yuka was because she resembled a gyaru he had never been able to talk to in high school…
Anyway, Yuka sold her first time to pay for her tuition, and at the same time…
“Two lines?!”
She was pregnant.
Thanks to her unusual condition, Yuka quickly realized she was pregnant.
When she first found out about Takuya, Yuka was struggling. No, she was beyond struggling; she hated the child.
It seemed like her life, which she thought would be on a smooth path to a good university, was about to be derailed.
But…
“That’s right. This child is innocent…”
She absolutely didn’t want to have an abortion. Even though she didn’t want it, the child was innocent.
So, she told her parents the whole truth and contacted Daichi to tell him the news.
At first, Daichi asked if there was proof that it was his child, but Yuka silenced him by saying that it was her first and last experience.
With her father’s tears, which she saw for the first time, her belly slowly swelled, and soon she took a break from school to prepare for childbirth.
For the record, Daichi had some conscience, as he paid for all the hospital, childbirth, and postpartum care expenses.
The child she gave birth to after all the twists and turns was… truly.
“I-is this child really mine?”
“Yes. Please hold your baby, mother.”
She was beautiful beyond words.
With eyes that couldn’t even open properly, she desperately tried to open them, and she diligently turned her big head to look around.
She struggled to grab her mother’s hand with her tiny hands.
“Ah, ah. Aaaah…”
And when she found her mother, a smile of happiness bloomed on the child’s face, which had been frowning until just now. That day, Yuka realized that she had gained something truly precious in her life, something that she couldn’t trade for anything.

“Sooo… I always try to give him only the best…”
“Hic, I get it… Yuka… let’s go to sleep now…”
Yuka, who had returned home, couldn’t handle the shock and ended up drinking a lot of alcohol with Ayaka.
How much did she drink?
A can of beer… let’s just leave it at that.
Anyway, Yuka, who was completely drunk, was supposed to go to her room to sleep as Ayaka had told her, but…
“Hehe. Takuyang!”
“Uhm… Yuka… Mom, what, uh?”
She didn’t go to her room; instead, she headed to Takuya’s room.
Takuya, who was just about to fall asleep, was startled by Yuka suddenly opening the door, but then…
-Thud.
Thanks to Yuka diving onto him, his drowsiness vanished in an instant.
“Squeak.”
Along with that sound effect.
Takuya, who had woken up, tried to send Yuka back to her room.
“Hehehehe, rubbing my cheek on my beloved Takuya’s cheek♡rub♡rub♡”
Watching Yuka grab his face and rub her cheek against his, Takuya sighed and just let Yuka enjoy herself.
She must have had a hard day. It wasn’t the real Takuya, but it was his body, so he thought she could at least receive some comfort.
After being tormented by Yuka for a long time, Takuya was finally able to close his eyes when Yuka fell asleep in his arms.
***
In the very late hours of the night, when Takuya had fallen asleep as Yuka’s comfort doll.
Thump. Thump.
In Takuya’s house, where only the sounds of insects should be heard, the sound of someone walking echoed.
If Takuya had been very sensitive to sounds, he would have noticed the sound right away, but Takuya, who had fallen asleep exhausted after numerous sex sessions and listening to Yuka’s drunken antics, didn’t notice.
As the sound of someone approaching got closer and closer to Takuya’s room.
Click.
-Squeak.
That someone, no.
“Hehe, you’re sleeping soundly?”
Ayaka, who should have been drunk and asleep with Yuka, confidently opened the door and entered.
To be precise, she was wearing a see-through outfit that revealed everything, without a bra or underwear…
Ayaka knelt down and looked at Yuka and Takuya, who were sleeping peacefully in bed, with a strange, no, perhaps greedy smile.
“You two are so cute~”
Ayaka said, poking Takuya’s cheek.
“Ugh. I, I’ll correct it…”
“Kuku.”
Ayaka laughed as if she was enjoying watching Takuya’s face scrunch up in discomfort.
“Mom knows best that Takuya has changed~”
It was something that would have made Takuya feel beyond horrified if he had heard it, but well, what could he do? Takuya was asleep.
“But I love you, Takuya. No matter what anyone says, you are my son…”
Those words were sincere. Ayaka loved Takuya. Enough to abandon her family.
No. To be precise, she truly loved her current son, unlike the previous ’empty shell’.
Furthermore, she spoke to her precious friend, who desired that empty shell more than the real one.
“Yuka, you’ll know soon enough. How precious Takuya is to us.”
Ayaka said, tidying up her friend’s disheveled hair with a cute smile.
After watching the two of them sleep for a long time, Ayaka finally straightened her bent knees after about 10 minutes and said.
“Well then, sweet dreams, you two~♥”
Ayaka muttered, gently closing the door and leaving.
“Hehe, Takuya…”
“Uhm. Uh, Mom…”
Takuya was still too ignorant about the people in this house.
