Chapter 203 – 203. Party (1)
After a whole commotion,
Takuya was able to return home safely.
‘No. Can I even call this a safe return in the first place?’
Anyway, having safely completed his examination, Takuya now watched his mothers and Momiji, who were starting to prepare their outfits for the New Year’s shrine visit.
For reference, it’s about 5 AM right now.
I woke up around 2 AM. Rushed to the hospital for the examination and got the results by 4:30 AM, and now they’re starting preparations at this time.
Why start preparing at this hour? First of all, all the women living in our house have already taken showers again.
“Why, why are you naked?!”
“Well, the only man here is our son, so it doesn’t really matter.”
“Okay, next is my turn~”
For reference, both Yuka’s mom and Ayaka’s mom were completely naked.
‘Nice eye candy.’
As Takuya thought that to himself and looked at the women, Momiji, who was the only one feeling embarrassed, muttered.
“…Takuya. Pervert.”
Huh.
No. Why am I the pervert?! If anything, it’s the women who are showing everything that are at fault?!
But Takuya couldn’t bring himself to deny that he was a pervert.
And so, Takuya lost his will to fight back at Momiji’s fact-bomb.
Watching his family busily preparing, Takuya, of course, also prepared in his own way.
What kind of preparation?
‘Let’s see, I’ve got five heat packs ready, just need one warm soup…’
Of course, it was preparation for the three people wearing kimonos in this cold weather.
You might wonder why I’m preparing something like this, but since I didn’t have anything else to do, I prepared diligently.
While I was roughly heating up the soup and warming the heat packs,
“Takuya~! We’re all ready, come out!”
“Yes! Just a moment!”
Our family was all ready.
Takuya quickly poured a drink, shoved it into the pocket of his warm coat, and headed to the entrance.
When Takuya arrived at the entrance, he couldn’t help but be surprised.
That’s because the three people at the entrance were…
─Thump.
‘Wow, this is unreal?’
They were at a level where it wouldn’t be strange to call them celebrities.
Well, Ayaka’s mom and Yuka’s mom were already at their peak beauty. But Momiji…
‘Is it true that women need to dress up?’
Even Takuya, who was usually cold about appearances, was surprised at how beautifully she had transformed.
“What’s wrong, are you just now realizing how pretty your mom is?”
“Hehe, Takuya. Let’s go quickly~”
“Ta, Takuyaaa. Let’s go quicklyyy…”
Takuya looked at the three people pulling him outside and thought to himself.
‘We’re gonna stand out like crazy.’
And Takuya’s thought was spot on.
***
As Takuya climbed the hill to the shrine near the time the sun was starting to rise, he began to listen to the surrounding sounds with his sensitive ears.
“Wow, look over there. Over there.”
“Huh? Where? Wow─”
“Wow, her chest…”
“If she’s like that, what size is she…”
“Hey, hey, isn’t that little girl cute too?”
“Ugh, lolicon─”
Hmm, we’re definitely attracting attention.
‘What was that last guy? He’s an adult.’
Anyway, Takuya, receiving everyone’s attention, went up to the shrine and finished his prayers.
‘Please let this year not have any scenarios and just let me maintain a normal life.’
After making a rough wish, Takuya quietly opened his eyes, seeing that the people around him were staring blankly at us.
‘Well, I understand. Even I think we look like a group of beauties.’
Even me.
‘If I hadn’t shaved my head for NTR, I would have been a handsome young man.’
Takuya thought to himself as he finished his prayers, and then enjoyed the full shrine course, including getting an omamori (お守り: amulet), omikuji (おみくじ: fortune slip), and ema (絵馬: wishing plaque), with the mindset of starting the new year properly.
After fully experiencing the shrine course, it was around 8 AM.
“Ugh! Haa! Okay, shall we go back now?”
“Ye, yeah…”
“There’s nothing more to enjoy anyway~”
We decided to head back home.
Honestly, there was nothing else to do.
On the way back home, Momiji’s face looked particularly happy, probably because it was her first time experiencing something like this.
‘Just how much of a piece of trash were her parents?’
Thinking that to himself, he arrived home.
“Ugh~ I’m sleepy~”
Yuka’s mom went straight to bed without even removing her makeup, and Momiji was similar.
Only Ayaka’s mom went to the bathroom to wash her face, and Takuya, after confirming that, went upstairs.
He felt like he needed to rest soon too.
As he was going up the stairs,
─Ring ring ring!
The phone in his pocket started ringing.
Takuya opened his flip phone with a what-is-it expression and looked at the name of the person who had called.
[Ero Old Man]
It was Old Man Yuzuke.
Takuya didn’t answer right away, but went into his room, closed the door, and then answered.
“Hello?”
[You take a whole lifetime to answer the phone.]
“Well, you don’t have much time left, old man.”
[You little rascal. Tsk tsk.]
For reference, the old man had become very close to me over the past two months.
Aside from his perverted side, he was a very sociable old man.
Thanks to that, we were now like friends. A friend who transcended age, in a way.
“So, what’s the matter?”
Of course, he wouldn’t have called me just to give me New Year’s greetings.
‘That might be one reason, but there must be something else.’
Takuya’s thought was spot on.
[I called about the party that was supposed to be held on New Year’s night. Remember?]
There was definitely a party in Tokyo for the influential families from each region, in other words,
‘A gathering of the upper class.’
He had told me that there was such a party and that I had to go with him.
Realizing that, I muttered quietly.
“Ah, right.”
[What, did you forget? If your memory is worse than an old man’s, what are you going to do in the future, tsk tsk.]
This old geezer.
Takuya clicked his tongue at Yuzuke’s sudden criticism and said.
“Ah, yes. So, is that all you called about?”
[No. There are things we need to prepare beforehand. I’ll send a car to your place.]
“Prepare?”
[It wasn’t like this before, but these days they have dress codes and stuff. So, you have to wear something too.]
‘Well, if that’s the reason.’
Takuya agreed with the old man’s reasonable explanation, but instead of having the car pick him up in front of his house, he asked to be picked up somewhere else, and then hung up.
After receiving the call, Takuya fell asleep (again), had lunch with his family, and then went out after telling them he had plans for the evening.
***
And when he arrived at the agreed location, the car was already there.
“Happy New Year.”
“Hehe, Happy New Year to you too, young master.”
I greeted the familiar driver and then headed straight to Old Man Yuzuke’s house.
The situation inside the mansion upon arrival was…
‘Hmm, doesn’t look too good.’
Whatever the matter was, it was quite bad.
What is it? There shouldn’t be any reason for it to be bad?
Just as I was thinking that,
“How can you treat someone who isn’t even my own child…!”
Takuya immediately understood the reason.
The reason was Nozomi’s husband, or rather, his name is… ah, whatever.
Anyway, it was probably because Nozomi’s husband was causing a ruckus.
There was no other reason.
“…Young master has arrived.”
“What?! Ha, well you came at the right time. Hey, you, why is a rolling stone like you…”
I sneered at the man who was glaring at me with hateful eyes.
The reason why that man was acting like that was simple.
Ever since I had sex with Nozomi, she had been treating her husband like he didn’t exist.
He was probably pissed off because of that.
‘Considering the succession structure, he shouldn’t be acting like that. What an idiot.’
Takuya thought to himself and said to the man who was trying to vent his low-level inferiority complex on him.
“Shut your mouth and get lost.”
“What?! You little punk, do you have no respect─”
─Snap.
I snapped my fingers and ordered Nozomi’s husband not to act up in front of me and to stay out of sight until we left for the festival.
After sending Nozomi’s husband away like that, what came next was.
“Hahaha! Good job. I was getting annoyed with him constantly complaining.”
“Yes.”
Of course, it was Old Man Yuzuke.
Nozomi was behind him, but she just bowed her head with slightly flushed cheeks.
It seemed like she was being cautious because there were other people around.
Takuya, seeing Nozomi’s face, answered the old man’s words roughly and said.
“So, where are the clothes I’m supposed to wear?”
“Ah, the clothes, you say?”
“?”
Takuya looked at the old man’s somewhat mysterious expression and then,
“Grab him.”
At the same time as the old man’s mutter, he was grabbed by the hands of the maids surrounding him.
‘Could it be, a trap?!’
Takuya, having reached that thought, looked at Yuzuke and Nozomi.
What should I say about their expressions?
‘A toy?’
They had expressions like they were looking at a fun toy.
It seemed like I had gotten into something bad.
Takuya thought to himself.
