Ch 349: Ren is a Sacred Beast?

Noah and Yukino entered their classroom just before the start of the afternoon classes. Yuzuki was already there and sent Noah a small, satisfied smile and a nod.

Seeing them enter at the same time, the classmates who paid attention started to whisper, speculating about what Noah and his housepet might have been doing together. Yukino's lowered gaze and red face didn't help.

Noah didn't really care about what they thought, and Endou was too cowed by his earlier humiliation to have another outburst.

Time passed in a flash, and when class ended, Noah and Yukino returned to the special room on the fourth floor.

Katsuko was waiting for them.

"Welcome back, Nagano-kun, Shirasaka-san."

Yukino answered with a groan, expecting another sex session.

"Thank you, Katsuko-san." smiled Noah. "How about you call me Ren? I don't really enjoy formal speech, and it feels a bit weird after you've seen me naked several times."

"I will think about it." smiled Katsuko, a teasing light in her eyes. "If I do, however, you will have to reciprocate. How about you call me, let's say, Katsuko-nee? I always enjoyed the idea of having a little brother."

"I wouldn't mind being pampered by a big sister either." smiled Noah. "At least temporarily. On the long term, maybe we'll have a different type of relationship?"

"Maybe. But you should focus your energy on Shirasaka-san before you try to court others, Nagano-kun."

"Sure. So, what is the plan for this evening?"

"First, we need to prepare Shirasaka-san. She will remain in this room for a few hours while we will go visit a certain person." smiled Katsuko.

Yukino trembled when both Noah and Katsuko looked at her.

"W-What do you mean, prepare me?"

"Those restraints I brought earlier will be useful." replied Katsuko. "Please tell me, Shirasaka-san. Would you rather be tied to a chair, or hogtied on the ground?"

"I don't want to be tied up at all!" protested Yukino. "Can't you just lock the door with me inside?"

"It was a mistake to ask you. You are only a housepet after all." sighed Katsuko. "Nagano-kun, should we bind her to this chair over there, or on the floor?"

"The chair, I think. It will be more comfortable for her."

Katsuko nodded and walked to the padded armchair, dragging it closer to the center of the room.

She gestured to Yukino, who sighted and sat on it, placing her arms on the armrests.

As Katsuko took her leather gym bag and opened it, she handed the blindfold and ball gag to him.

"Please open your mouth, Yukino." asked Noah, and his housepet reluctantly agreed.

Noah inserted the red rubber ball into her mouth as she glared at him, fastened the strap tightly behind her neck, and put the blindfold in place.

Yukino likely expected to be bound in this classic position one would often see in mainstream bondage pictures, her legs tightly pinned together, hands bound behind her back or to the armrests.

Katsuko, however, had something quite different in mind. After binding Yukino's arms in a box tie, hands against the opposite elbow, she added more rope to secure Yukino's torso to the back of the armchair. Katsuko, with Noah's help, then lifted Yukino's legs and folded them until her knees were near her shoulders, then added leather cuffs to secure Yukino's ankles to the armrests, pinning her legs into a M-shape.

"Mmphro!" loudly protested Yukino, shaking her head. But no matter how much she squirmed, her bonds kept her legs spread out and her sex completely exposed in plain view of anyone entering the room.

"Do not worry, Shirasaka-san." smiled Katsuko. "I have prepared something to make sure you will not be bored while we are away."

The something in question was a pink pill vibrator that Katsuko inserted into Yukino's pussy.

Yukino squealed when it went in, and squealed more when Katsuko turned the knob on the remote. She secured the vibrator with two short strips of medical adhesive tape, making sure it couldn't be pushed out.

As a final touch, she completed Yukino's bondage with a large pair of headphones. No matter how much Yukino was shaking her head, she couldn't dislodge them.

"Those headphones have a noise-cancelling function, and Shirasaka-san is listening to a recording of her own moans. She won't hear anything we say from now on." said Katsuko after tinkering with an audio device connected to the headphones.

Noah nodded, smiling.

"So this is what makes your blood running, Nagano-kun." teased Katsuko as she noticed his obvious interest.

"It is that kind of things, yes. Does that disappoint you?"

"…I have complicated feelings about bondage."

Noah nodded but didn't say anything, not wanting to push, which Katsuko seemed to appreciate. After a short hesitation, she continued.

"…At first, it reminded me of my powerlessness. It still does, to some extent… At the same time, that very powerlessness appeased my guilt."

"Guilt? But you were a victim." frowned Noah, and Katsuko showed him a sad smile.

"Yes. It's strange, isn't it? I knew I didn't have a choice, but it didn't matter. I felt guilt as I was forced to take clients and satisfy them. Guilt that I was doing things that I knew would horrify my parents. Guilt that I was handed money for it, even if that money was later taken from me. Guilt that I didn't fight more, that I let the threat of more beatings cow me into compliance."

On impulse, Noah crossed the distance separating him from Katsuko and hugged her tightly.

"Nagano-kun?" asked Katsuko, surprised.

"…I can't change the past, Katsuko-san." muttered Noah. "I can't force your biological family to accept you. What I can do is offer you a family that will, and a future that many will envy."

Katsuko didn't move for a few seconds, and then she returned the hug. She rested her forehead against his left shoulder.

"Offer me a family, you say. Is that an indirect way of proposing?" asked Katsuko without raising her head.

"Weren't we speaking about being siblings first, Katsuko-nee?"

"Yes… It's strange, being hugged by you feels quite comfortable."

"I could say the same. Do you mind if I indulge myself for a little while?"

"…Feel free."

For a minute, Noah and Katsuko just hugged each other quietly, the only sounds in the room being the soft buzz of a pill vibrator and the moans and grunts it caused.

"Katsuko-nee, I would like you to give me the names of Sousuke Shirasaka's friends."

"…Most are dead already. They are criminals after all, and that comes with risks." replied Katsuko.

"But only most. Some are still alive?"

"…There is one. An official. Someone a little too influent for us to go against."

"After Shirasaka has been dealt with, please give me his name."

"…If you are strong enough, I will."

The door was unlocked from outside, and Minaho entered, followed by Megumi, the class rep, and Nei and Margo.

Minaho raised an eyebrow as she saw them hugging together while Megumi gasped at the sight of Yukino behind them.

With some reluctance, Katsuko stepped away, quickly recovering her serenity.

"Welcome back, Ojou-sama, Yamamine-san."

"Katsuko, Nagano-kun." nodded Minaho. "You seem to have been busy."

"Yes. I have been promoted and am now Katsuko-nee's younger brother." grinned Noah.

"Good for you, then." nodded Minaho with approval. "Nagano-kun, Katsuko, Megumi had agreed to become my eighth 'Toy'. Please treat her well. Megumi, Nagano-kun is my Seventh 'Toy'.

From what Noah remembered, Katsuko was Minaho's first 'Toy', and Nagisa, who he had yet to meet, was the Second one. Margo was the Third. The Fourth was that crazy girl who had fallen so far into the pleasure of sex that she had become a nympho. The Fifth was Nei, Agnes was the Sixth, and Noah and Megumi were now the Seventh and Eighth 'Toys'.

"Welcome, Yamamine-san. Please call me Ren. Can I call you Megumi?" smiled Noah.

"Ah? Uh, yes. Thank you." said Megumi as she shook herself. She had been distracted by the Yukino show.

"I originally planned to make Megumi your official girlfriend, Nagano-kun." said Minaho. "That was before I chose you and learned you already had two of them."

"T-Two?" blurted out Megumi.

"Long story, I'll explain later." shrugged Noah.

"As long as you do not publicize the existence of your two girlfriends within the academy, we can still make this work." said Minaho.

"Please forgive me for asking, Sensei, but I am not very aware of this part of your plan. Can you please enlighten me?" asked Noah.

"Something you do not know for a change. How refreshing." snorted Minaho. "Sousuke Shirasaka is Megumi's father. He kidnapped and raped her mother, then let her die a few years ago when he could have saved her effortlessly. And he planned to rape Megumi and force her into prostitution soon after his return from Australia."

Noah looked at Megumi with sympathy.

"I see why she would require protection. But that fucking guy… Trying to do this to his own daughter. Is there any line he has not crossed?"

"If there is, I am sure he is searching for it." quipped Nei.

"Nagano-kun, when the time comes, I want you to rape Yukino and Maika in front of his eyes, and have them declare themselves as your sex slaves. And you will do the same with Megumi, his third daughter."

"Are you okay with this, Megumi?" asked Noah, and Megumi nodded.

"…The sex slave part doesn't have to be true." replied Megumi, her eyes determined. "But I am willing to have sex with you and act like it. I want to play a part in Sensei's plan. I will do anything to avenge my mother... But what about you? You are the one who wasn't wronged by Sousuke Shirasaka. Are your girlfriends, plural, really fine with it? Won't they leave you if they discover what you're doing with us?"

"I will deal with the possible consequences when they come." shrugged Noah. "But Lily and Ruo Ruo are both kind people. I am sure they will understand."

"I hope so." nodded Megumi.

"Nagano-kun, Nei and Margo are going to take you and Megumi to meet my second 'Toy'." said Minaho.

…

Minaho stopped for an instant in front of the large home.

Since her search hadn't turned up anything, she had decided on a more direct approach, while Ren was busy with Nagisa and wouldn't be able to send a message to warn his alleged girlfriends.

She pressed the buzzer. A few seconds later, a pleasant-sounding voice answered.

"This is the Nagano residence. May I help you?"

"Greetings." replied Minaho with a smile. "My name is Minaho Yuzuki. I am Nagano-kun's homeroom teacher."

"Oh… Ren isn't currently home."

"I am aware." nodded Minaho. "But I would like to speak with you, if you do not mind."

"…Please come in."

Minaho heard the lock of the door disengaging.

"Thank you." said Minaho as she entered the front yard.

When she reached the door of the villa, it opened, and she did a double take.

The girl who opened the door was a man's wet dream. The brunette wasn't just incredibly beautiful, on a level that rivaled even Nei, but she was also dressed in a tight blue latex dress whose hem stopped short of her knees, its front zip closed all the way up to her throat, blue leather ankle boots with high heels, and a blue leather collar adorned her neck.

And her appearance… Minaho felt like she had seen her somewhere, but she couldn't place it. She had seen her previously on the drone's footage when she wore a maid outfit, but the resolution had been mediocre, and she hadn't really paid attention to the girl's face back then.

The girl blushed slightly at Minaho's reaction.

"I am Ling Shuiruo. Sorry about that. We weren't expecting visitors."

"I… see. Thank you for letting me visit anyway, and I'm sorry for intruding."

The girl gestured for Minaho to come in and led her to the living room.

"Please wait here for a moment, my friend is currently in Mystic Moon. I will ask her to disconnect. Would you like tea or coffee?"

"No thank you, I will only be there for a few minutes." replied Minaho, wary of possible drugs.

Shuiruo nodded and climbed up the stairs.

Minaho quickly examined her surroundings. The living room was clean and well furnished, but the furniture felt a little impersonal. There were no photos.

Minaho was experienced enough that she instantly recognized it as a temporary home, not a permanent one. And a recent one to boot. Whoever they were, 'Ruo Ruo' and 'Lily' were not his girlfriends.

They were his accomplices.

After a short while, Shuiruo came down, followed by a beautiful young woman with long silver hair. She wore a white latex bodysuit with a black leather corset and black leather pumps. And a black leather collar.

Minaho kept her face still as she introduced herself.

"Hello. My name is… please call me Bunny." said the girl with a heavy blush.

"Hi. I am Minaho Yuzuki, Nagano-kun's homeroom teacher." nodded Minaho. "I am sorry for coming with what seems to be inconvenient timing."

"Please do not mind. How may we help you, miss Yuzuki?" asked Shuiruo.

"Nagano-Kun mentioned having two girlfriends. I found that to be… concerning."

"Oh, that." nodded Shuiruo. "Bunny and I both love him. And we are willing to share him."

"He isn't… forcing you, right? I noticed you both wear collars, and…"

"And you're wondering if we are his sex slaves?" smiled Shuiruo, and Minaho nodded.

"As a matter of fact, I am, but by choice. My current outfit is the result of us playing a long-term game, and I can opt out of it at any time. I am not being forced. For me, it is a way to demonstrate my commitment to him."

Minaho nodded doubtfully, then turned her gaze toward Bunny, who fidgeted.

"…I once did something very bad to, Nagano-kun."

"Tut tut, Bunny, you broke the rule." came a sudden voice, making Minaho freeze.

"Now is not a good time, Hikari!" exclaimed Shuiruo.

"I don't care, the rules are the rules. it's Bunny's fault for breaking them in front of an audience."

"Who is speaking? What rules?" asked Minaho as she located the source of that voice, a black bangle on Bunny's left wrist. One identical to the ones Noah and Shuiruo both wore, now that she thought about it.

"I am Hikari. It's nice to meet you. I am an artificial intelligence."

"An AI?"

"Yes. My role is to help Bunny and Ruo Ruo remember their rules. Which one did you break, Bunny?"

"…I referred to My Lord with something other than My Lord." sighed Bunny, not meeting Minaho's eyes.

"Bunny here did something very bad to Master, as she said." explained Shuiruo. "When he turned the tables on her, she agreed to compensate him by being his slave for five years, and later agreed to play a sixty-days long game to have her sentence reduced from five to just one year. That game involves a randomly chosen rule she has to follow every day. Her having to refer to him as My Lord is one of them. Same for the collars and outfits, and Bunny having to be called by her pet name."

Minaho leaned back, thinking. From their behavior, it was clear that neither Shuiruo nor Bunny were coerced. Embarrassed, certainly. But they showed none of the usual signs of abuse. And their willingness to speak about those matters to her was also telling.

They knew she wouldn't spread rumors about their unusual circumstances. Which meant that they both knew she wasn't just a typical homeroom teacher and that she had her own things to hide.

And then, it suddenly hit her and her eyes widened. She just remembered where she had seen Shuiruo.

"…You look a lot like that young woman who can somehow cure victims of the Isrock virus. The one who never told anyone her name."

Shuiruo froze for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes, this is me... I spend two hours every morning and every evening touring various hospitals. Then I go back home to rest and recover the spent energy."

"Why is someone like you…"

"Because she loves him." cut in Hikari. "Because he… Look, miss Yuzuki. I understand why you think we are suspicious. From your point of view, we certainly are. And I understand that you have a responsibility to keep your companions safe, which means you must investigate."

"But Master has been asked to assist you under a few very specific conditions, and he has no leeway at all to deviate from them. He has to stick to his cover. Failure to do so would incur a significant cost and compromise another important mission that is unrelated to you. Master also represents a great opportunity for you. With his support, you will reach a better outcome than even your most optimistic projections. But you need to trust him enough to let him help you."

"…I need something solid." sighed Minaho. "I can't just blindly entrust my comrades to a man I know is hiding important secrets."

"…I'll be right back." said Shuiruo as she stood and left. She returned from what Minaho assumed was the kitchen with a large knife and started rolling back the blue latex on her left forearm.

"You already know that I can cure victims of the Isrock virus."

"Wait, what are you going to…" started Minaho, but it was too late, and Shuiruo cut herself deeply with the kitchen knife. Strangely, the knife's blade was bent after she did, as if she had applied an extraordinary amount of force.

"Aww! It's more painful than I thought..." complained Shuiruo, examining the wound. It was a moderately deep one. Minaho could see a thin yellow layer of fat tissues under the skin. And then, a soft green glow came from Shuiruo's right hand, and the wound closed after barely two seconds, not leaving any scar.

"Miss Yuzuki, who do you think gave me this ability?" asked Shuiruo as she wiped the blood with a tissue.

"You mean, Nagano-kun?" asked Minaho in wonder, and Shuiruo nodded.

"I am not supposed to tell you, but Master told me that he won't make Yukino Shirasaka pregnant. At least, not for a while." said Shuiruo with a gentle voice. "Instead, when your vengeance is over, he will restore your ability to conceive a child."

"And he is willing to have a child with you."

Minaho froze and didn't dare even breathe. An emotion that she hadn't felt for a long time, hope, surged in her heart, making it beat wildly, and she shuddered.

Surely, this was impossible. And yet, after what she had just seen…

"Can he… really do that? My womb isn't just damaged. It has been removed entirely. I don't have ovaries and eggs anymore."

"He can." nodded Shuiruo. "This healing ability is so potent that even restoring the body of someone who has just been decapitated is possible. Trust him, miss Yuzuki, and you won't regret it. I can promise you that."

…

While Katsuko remained behind to 'take care' of Yukino, and Minaho had left on some errand, Margo and Nei led Noah and Megumi to a flower shop not very far from the academy.

"Schwarz Wald?" asked Noah with a raised eyebrow as he read the shop's name. "That's the translation for Kuro Mori in German."

Both meant Black Forest in English.

"You know German?" asked Margo.

"A little." replied Noah. "This isn't very subtle. What if your enemies decide to target the flower shop?"

"This is protection, actually." nodded Margo. "The local Yakuza know to avoid any shop related to Kuromori. We have an agreement with them. We give them some money every month and they leave us alone."

"I see." nodded Noah.

"Welcome." smiled one of the girls, an attractive brunette with her hair in a ponytail, walking toward them as soon as they entered. She quickly eyed Noah and Megumi.

"How may we help you?"

"Hi. We're here to see Nagisa. She should be waiting for us." smiled Nei.

"Yes. Please follow me." nodded the girl before leading them past the counter and to a door leading to the back office. Noah could see many plants and decorations as well as workspaces where two girls were performing floral arrangement. They smiled at Nei and Margo and looked curiously at Noah and Megumi, but didn't speak and kept working.

The first girl led them upstairs to the second floor, an apartment above the shop. She knocked at the door. The door was opened by a beautiful woman in her early twenties. She had long black hair and eyes, and a large bust. She smiled warmly at them.

"Welcome, everyone. Please come in!"

"Ah, Margo-chan!" happily squealed a little girl with shoulder-length black hair and black eyes as she ran to them. She had to be about three years old.

"Mao-chan!" grinned Margo as she knelt to hug her. "It's been a while. You've grown a lot!"

"Mao's not a big girl! She's the smallest in the nursery school!" pouted Mao.

"It can't be helped." smiled Nagisa. "The nursery gathers children of all ages. Isn't Mao the biggest among the children of her age?"

"Mao-chan!" exclaimed Nei as she knelt beside Margo, and Mao laughed as she jumped into her arms.

"You're so cute, Mao-chan!"

Noah found himself nodding, smiling at Mao.

He had decided with his girls that having children would have to wait until he was back from the world cluster, so he could be present during their childhood. But when that time came, surely, he was going to have a lot of kids.

"Hi, Megumi. it's been a while." smiled Nagisa.

"Hi, Aunt Nagisa. I hope you're doing well." replied Megumi.

"I heard about what happened last night, Nagisa." said Margo.

"Hey, Mao. How about you and I draw something?" suggested Nei. "Your Mama is going to talk about boring things. Margo-Chan will join us after they are done."

"Okay!" nodded Mao, taking Nei's hand and dragging her away.

"Kids are so cute." smiled Megumi.

"Yes, they are." nodded Noah.

"Yes, I'm cute!" shouted back Mao with a grin. "Lots of fathers at the nursery school keep praising me, saying that I'm cute!"

"Geez, Mao." sighed Nagisa, smiling. "This child goes to other children's fathers coming to get their kids and ask them, 'Am I cute?'. She's making me so embarrassed..."

"And what about your mama, Mao? Is she cute?" asked Margo with a teasing grin.

"Mama is being praised by various Oji-san too, saying she's beautiful at the nursery, at the shop, or even at the floral market!" grinned Mao.

"Mao! Stop embarrassing your mama!" scolded Nagisa, and Mao giggled cutely as she took crayons from a drawer.

"Miyuki-chan, I'll leave the shop to you. Just call us if something happens." said Nagisa to the girl who had led them upstairs.

"Yes, Manager." nodded Miyuki before leaving.

With her gone, Nagisa gestured to the kitchen, and Margo, Megumi and Noah followed her.

Nagisa gestured around the island, and they sat while she started preparing tea.

"You got yourself involved in something troublesome this time, didn't you?" gently asked Margo.

"…Right." sighed Nagisa. "You know that the flower shop goes to the market to stock up every morning, right? Once there, I'll be meeting the other shop owners."

"Is it the Hashizawa firm?" asked Margo.

"You already know everything, it seems." nodded Nagisa. "That firm is run by another group of Yakuza. They are starting a turf war, and they see my shop as a target. They demanded I hand over the property title. Not only that, they said 'While you're at it, hand over your body as well'."

"We'll settle it tomorrow." nodded Margo. "We'll crush them thoroughly."

"I am very grateful for your help." said Nagisa with a deep bow.

"Don't be like that, Nagisa." smiled Margo. "You're the Second and I'm the Third. It's normal to help each other, don't you think?"

"I'm no longer the Second. I should have become independent from Yuzuki-sensei, and yet, in the end, she always takes care of everything, every time. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay. Even if you're retired, you will always be family. It's fine to depend on us. Minaho will be pleased."

Nagisa smiled gratefully and busied herself by serving them tea. She served Noah last, not that he minded, but her reason for it did.

"Still, I think that it is wonderful for Margo-chan to have a dick-slave at last. You, who I thought were a bit of a man-hater, have finally awakened to the pleasure of sex. It makes my chest hot. But you see, I think I could find a much better dick slave for Margo-chan instead of a boy lacking experience."

Noah's shoulders shook as he stifled a laugh, thinking about his 'lacking' experience.

Margo smirked.

"No, Nagisa. He's not my dick slave."

"…I see! It's Katsuko! I know she likes younger men! Oh, so he's Katsuko's dick slave. I get it now."

Margo giggled this time.

"Nagisa, this is Ren Nagano. He is Yuzuki-Sensei's Seventh 'Toy'."

Nagisa froze like a deer in headlights.

"A pleasure to meet you, Nagisa-san." smiled Noah. "Although I would like to object to your assertions about my… performances as a dick slave. I am confident in my size, skill, and stamina!"

"…I'm really sorry!" exclaimed Nagisa as she stood and bowed in deep apology.

"It is fine. I won't hold a grudge for a misunderstanding, and it was a funny one. I'd like for us to get along." smiled Noah.

"It couldn't be helped, Nagisa." grinned Margo. "You had already retired when Minaho started searching for a male member. And we approved of Nagano-kun only a few days ago."

"Everyone approved?" asked Nagisa.

"Yes. Minaho picked him. Katsuko, Nei and I approved. Nagano-kun has some deep secrets and already knew more about our plans and our shared past than we were comfortable with, but so far, he has performed admirably."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. You haven't seen the video of his first time with Yukino Shirasaka, but it was intense and it lasted for hours. Nagano-kun does have a lot of stamina and skill."

"…and his size?" asked Nagisa with a light in her eyes.

"I'd say well above average in both length and girth. Although I'm not an expert on that subject." shrugged Margo.

"So this is what it feels like, what girls feel when they hear men comment about the size of their chest." quipped Noah, making them snort in amusement.

"That is quite wonderful." nodded Nagisa. "Anyway, I am sorry for the earlier rudeness. And I know just how to apologize. Have you seen the girls working downstairs?"

"Yes." nodded Noah.

"They are all cute and attractive. I have been quite selective with them. That is one of the reasons the shop is doing so well. And every single one of them is my pet."

"Pets?" asked Noah, pretending not to know already.

"Yes. Furthermore, all of them are virgins. Nagano-kun, was it? You can have sex with any of them. It's fine even if you do all five! Un, let's see! Let's use this chance to break all of their virginities!"

"Eh?" exclaimed Megumi.

"There's two high school students, two university students and one employee. Who are you interested in? I think I have here a photo I took from a social gathering but… should I close the shop instead and call them here? Let's get them naked, then you can rape the girls you like in turns! I'll allow you…"

Nagisa was going out of control. Noah could even feel his black bangle vibrate softly. Yui and Hikari were listening and laughing their butts off.

Noah was about to object when a phone rang. It was Nagisa's.

"It's Yuzuki-sensei." smiled Nagisa as she accepted the call and activated the speaker.

"It's been a while, Nagisa." said Minaho.

"It's good to hear from you, Sensei!" replied Nagisa with a slightly choked voice.

"Are the others with you?"

"Nei-chan is playing with Mao, but the others are listening, yes."

"Good. I am calling off any investigation about Nagano-kun. I now fully trust him."

"I am happy to hear that, Sensei." smiled Noah.

"That's not like you, Sensei. What did you find?" asked Margo.

"I still do not know his real name, but that is fine. I spoke to his girlfriends. One of them turns out to be the one who travels all over the world to cure the victims of the Isrock virus. And she got her healing power from him."

"W-WHAT?" exclaimed both Margo and Nagisa in sync. They looked at him in utter disbelief.

"…I can neither confirm nor deny at this time." shrugged Noah as he sipped his tea. "After Sousuke Shirasaka is dealt with, I will likely be allowed to say more."

"And she told me he specifically asked her to tour hospitals because he didn't have time to do it himself. Not regularly. If Nagano-kun is prepared to risk exposure, even indirectly, to heal patients infected by a deadly disease, he can't be a bad person or someone linked to Cesario Viola or some Yakuza group. I am willing to trust him."

"Alright, Minaho." nodded Margo, still staring at Noah. "We'll keep following your lead."

"Thank you. I also called for another thing. Nagisa, I heard it's been a while since you last had sex."

"Yes, that is correct." nodded Nagisa.

"You have specialized in women recently?"

"…Yes."

"Well, I won't say anything about your hobby of collecting pets, but you need to have sex with a man too! That is why you are being taken advantage of by third-rate Yakuza. Your body doesn't have the scent of a man so they must be thinking you're a cheap sexually frustrated woman!"

"…That might be the case." said Nagisa as she stared at Noah. She could guess where this conversation was headed, and so did Noah.

"Nagano-kun, please have sex with Nagisa." bluntly said Minaho. "Make her womb drink lots of semen."

"It's a bit sudden, but alright." nodded Noah.

"A woman's skin needs to bathe on men's semen regularly, else the gloss disappears. You do know that, right, Nagisa? continued Minaho.

"Well, yes…"

"Nagano-kun may have experience with his two girlfriends, but they both are young and probably did not have experience before him if I read them correctly. So, please teach your junior the techniques of a well-trained woman."

"Right away! Nagisa Katagai will do her best to assist in Seventh's education!" exclaimed Nagisa with mixed eagerness and determination.

"Oh my, I am going to get eaten." chuckled Noah.

"I'm hanging up now. Have fun." said Minaho.

"And I'm off to play with Mao. Come with me, Megumi." said Margo.

"Y-Yes."

With a hungry grin, Nagisa took Noah's hand and led him to her bedroom.

They both quickly undressed, and Nagisa's eyes widened when she saw his cock stand proudly.

"My, Margo wasn't exaggerating. What a magnificent dick." crooned Nagisa.

"Thank you. Can I call you Nagisa? And call me Ren."

"Yes, feel free." nodded Nagisa as she started touching his cock with delicate fingers.

"You are very beautiful yourself, Nagisa." say Noah with a low voice.

"Thank you. I work out a lot to make sure my breasts won't sag." grinned Nagisa. "Hey, Ren, Can I swallow it with my lower mouth? I can't wait already!"

Noah hugged her with a smile and put a hand on her crotch, gently rubbing. She was already wet.

"I see that you are eager indeed."

He pushed her down on the bed, and her eyes widened in slight surprise as he positioned her in a mating press.

"It's been years. I haven't had sex since I got pregnant with Mao. I am hungry for your dick."

Noah smiled as he rubbed his cock a few times against her pussy lips, making her moan, then entered her while pushing slowly.

"Ah, a dick is entering me. I missed it so much..." sighed Nagisa, an expression of pure happiness on her face.

Noah chuckled, and got into it. He varied the angle, amplitude and rhythm, and listened to the symphony of moans and sighs his efforts produced.

…

Nearly two hours later, Noah came into her yet another time, then stopped.

"I think we should stop there, Nagisa. You're exhausted." smiled Noah before kissing her.

"To think that you would outlast me." smiled Nagisa. "I need to regain my stamina from back then."

"It's not you, it's me who has abnormal stamina. And that's one of the reasons I can't be satisfied with a single lover." shrugged Noah.

"Yes. You would destroy her." nodded Nagisa. "I wanted to educate you, but you are very experienced already. Are you perhaps a womanizer who got killed by a truck and reincarnated into a younger body?"

Noah blurted out a short laugh.

"That is quite the imagination you have, Nagisa. And I did learn a few things. The way you moved those pelvic muscles, or your tongue around my shaft… Those were very nice."

"Eheh. Maybe I can teach those to your other lovers."

"Maybe." smiled Noah.

Noah picked her up in his arms.

"Where's the bathroom?"

"This way." said Nagisa as she pointed with a finger.

Thankfully, they could leave the room and reach the bathroom without anyone seeing them.

In the shower, Noah washed Nagisa carefully, using the opportunity to give her a long scalp massage.

Nagisa obviously appreciated it, closing her eyes with a smile. When he was done, she reciprocated, humming a song as she washed his body.

When her song stopped, she spoke softly.

"I'm sure Yuzuki-sensei noticed it. That I wanted a second child."

"She really is a kind woman under the cold surface." nodded Noah.

"Yes… You see, when I gave birth to Mao, I left Sensei's mansion and opened this shop. I was searching for a good man. I claimed it was to help me raise Mao, but that was a lie. I was searching for someone who would be able to love this me. This tainted, soiled me."

"I do not see you as soiled, Nagisa." said Noah before kissing her forehead.

"Thank you. But let me finish, please… I dated for a while, but it was no good. I realized that it was impossible to have sex with a normal man."

Nagisa laughed in self-deprecation.

"As expected, the sex on the mansion was too much. I hadn't done anything but violent sex. Even with the best customers, the kind that would come with flowers and a bottle of good wine, chat with you about business and politics, and play a game of chess before anything erotic happened… well, they have their urges and fetishes too, and they favored rape play."

"So, I got used to it. No, I learned to like it. My body won't be satisfied with normal sex anymore."

"I noticed how you responded when I got a bit rougher, yes." nodded Noah.

"Yes… I'm a lewd person. Strange. Frenzied. Once I lit up, I won't stop until my body can't keep up anymore. I can never expose this embarrassing part of me to a normal man. Thus, I gave up on marriage."

"And when I gave up on men, I started luring in younger, innocent girls. I made this small castle."

"Sensei collects Toys, and you collect Pets." nodded Noah.

"Yes." nodded Nagisa. "When I left Kuromori, I wanted to be independent from Sensei. But in the end, I only imitated her. And I still need her help occasionally."

"We'll be happy to help whenever needed. I am sure that for Sensei, all her Toys are her precious family members. I am happy that she fully accepted me now."

"Yes… you are 'Sensei's Toy', just like me. If it's you, I can expose my true lewd character. We're relatives after all. Rather, I thought 'Take a look at the real me, look!'."

"I looked, and all I saw was beautiful, Nagisa." smiled Noah. "You probably do not know it yet, but I am not much into normal sex, either."

"None of those who spent time in the mansion are. Katsuko has what she calls her Sex Beast mode, and Minaho… well, let's not speak about this. But since you accepted my true self, Ren, I will give you my pets. In return, give me a second child, okay?"

Seeing him hesitate for an instant, Nagisa panicked.

"I will raise up that child alone. I won't trouble you. I'm fine with being an extra. Even if it's just once a month, I want you to embrace me. Have sex with me."

Noah cut her off by embracing her tightly.

"Nagisa, I will agree to give you a child, and I will spend time with them and Mao. But there is one major issue."

"…What is it?"

"In a few months, maybe a little more, I will have to leave on a long-term expedition. This isn't something I can avoid, and it will probably be a few years before I can return. And I would hate to miss the early years of our kid. So, while I am willing to have a child with you, maybe even more than one, are you prepared to wait years before it happens?"

"An expedition? To where?" asked Nagisa.

"…I cannot speak of it right now." sighed Noah. "But special abilities usually come with a corresponding cost, and this expedition is part of the price I agreed to pay."

"So, you are going to go somewhere and cure people." nodded Nagisa.

"I am sure that healing with be a regular occurrence, yes." smiled Noah. "And so will be dealing with bad guys before they can harm innocent people."

"That sounds dangerous." frowned Nagisa.

"It is, but I am not particularly worried." smiled Noah. "Again, I can't talk about it right now."

"I see… I'll be fine waiting. But until you have to go, embrace me plenty, okay? Make me feel loved."

"That I will, Nagisa." smiled Noah before kissing her again. "It's too early to be called love yet, but I do care for you. I want to make you happy. I also want to see Mao smile even more. She's downright adorable."

"Yes, she is." smiled Nagisa.

…

It was late evening when they joined the others.

"Where is Mao?" asked Nagisa.

"She's taking a nap. I read her a story." smiled Margo.

"Thank you, Margo-chan." nodded Nagisa. "You were listening, weren't you?"

"Just a little, to make sure things were going well."

"Jeez, it's embarrassing." sighed Nagisa.

"Nagisa-san's trying to play it cool all the time. It was cute to hear you being honest."

"That's only when I have sex with him! I'm usually a cool woman when I don't snap off!"

"Is that how it is, then?" asked Nei. "You like Nagano-kun?"

"Isn't that obvious? I'm falling in love with him." replied Nagisa with a smug, satisfied smile.

"Wow, I didn't think you would fall that much." exclaimed Margo.

"…I'm the first among the Toys, am I not?"

"Having sex with him? Yes. But if it's about feelings, I'm not sure. I think Katsun might be falling for him too." frowned Nei.

"I'm here, you know?" pointed out Noah. "Please don't mention Katsuko's feelings for me in my presence without her approval."

"Alright, that was rude of me." said Nei.

"Still, at the rate things seems to be doing, Katsuko might have sex with Nagano-kun soon. If she has sex with him, I think her heart will be freed in various ways." said Margo.

"Yes, but... Sex with Katsun is a bit too wild." frowned Nei.

"Right, he has a lot of stamina, but his body might not keep up if he suddenly does Katsuko." nodded Nagisa.

"Katsuko's a non-stop violence express after all." agreed Margo.

"Katsuko-san sounds like a challenge." smiled Noah.

"Yes. You need more training before you can have sex with her." grinned Nei.

"How about that child, Yukino Shirasaka?" asked Nagisa. "Would she make a good pussy slave to let him train?"

"She's a fairly cute child, but that's all there is to her." shrugged Nei.

Noah smiled, thinking that they were suddenly sounding like grandmas, while Nei and Yukino were about the same age, and Nagisa was barely older.

"I'm not so sure." said Noah. "She's arrogant and selfish, but she's also honest and resilient. I do not think she's a lost cause."

"Ren, you should make that child your pussy slave." declared Nagisa.

"That's the plan, but it will take some time to straighten her out." nodded Noah.

"But you may not have much time before Katsuko decides to eat you. Un, it's decided. I'll give you a pussy slave as a present!"

She picked up her phone and made a call.

"Miyuki-chan! Is Misuzu-chan still here in the shop? Good, I'd like you two to close the shop and come here for an important talk."

Moments later, the two girls Nagisa called appeared in the living room's doorway. Miyuki, the girl with her hair in a ponytail who led them upstairs earlier, and Misuzu, a girl that Noah knew was one of the core harem members in the original fiction. She was a dignified young lady with long flowing black hair partially tied with a red ribbon and gray eyes, moderately-sized breasts, and was very beautiful, as expected of the girls Nagisa had selected.

"Please come in, Miyuki-chan, Misuzu-chan." smiled Nagisa.

"Then, please excuse me." nodded Miyuki as she stepped inside the living room.

"Please excuse me." repeated Misuzu.

"You girls promised that when you come into this room, we are no longer Manager and Clerk, but Owner and Pet, didn't you?" smiled Nagisa.

"Yes, I'm very sorry!" said Miyuki, instantly standing straighter, then bowing deeply.

"I'm very sorry!" replied Misuzu as she bowed.

"Then, do your usual greetings!" commanded Nagisa.

Miyuki barely hesitated a second, quickly glancing at Noah, before she went on all fours and crawled to Nagisa. She bent down and kissed the tip of her right foot.

Nagisa spread her leg, lifted her skirt, and pulled her panties down. Miyuki muttered another "excuse me" before kissing Nagisa's naked crotch.

"It tastes different from the usual love nectar, doesn't it?" smiled Nagisa. "That is semen. It must be Miyuki's first time?"

"…Yes."

"Is it delicious?"

"Yes. It is an honor to taste something as delicious as this." nodded Miyuki without hesitation.

Noah was aware that it was a lie, but he was secretly impressed. He didn't know how Nagisa had trained Miyuki, but she certainly was very thorough!

"Next, Misuzu." smiled Nagisa.

"…Yes!" replied Misuzu. She went on all four, crawled, and kissed Nagisa's foot, trying to ignore Noah's presence.

Misuzu visibly steeled herself, then kissed Nagisa's crotch as well.

"More, lick it, Misuzu-chan." commanded Nagisa.

Misuzu closed her eyes and obeyed.

"Good. What do you think, Misuzu-chan? What is the taste of a man's semen?"

"it's a bit salty and bitter." admitted Misuzu.

"That's a man's taste. Say it is delicious."

"…It is delicious."

"Good girl." praised Nagisa. "Misuzu-chan, Miyuki-chan, you already have met Nei and Margo before. This is Ren Nagano, Yuzuki-sensei's Seventh Toy, and Megumi Yamamine, Yuzuki-sensei's Eighth Toy."

"It is nice to meet you." said Noah with a soft smile and a small bow.

"Hello, I'm Miyuki."

"…I'm Misuzu. H-Hello."

"Hi. I am Megumi. Pleased to meet you."

Megumi and the two girls also exchanged greetings, and Nagisa smiled.

"I was embraced by Nagano-kun just now." smiled Nagisa. "It was such a pleasurable sex. It was my first time feeling so good…"

Miyuki nodded with a smile.

"Yes, you look very refreshed right now, Nagisa-sama."

"Eheh, is that so, Miyuki-chan?" chuckled Nagisa.

"Yes, I can see it too." nodded Misuzu. "Your skin seem glossier."

"That's right. And as a sign of my affection, I intended to give Nagano-kun one of my pets as a present."

"N-No way… I hate men!" immediately protested Misuzu.

Nagisa lost her smile, and she stared at Misuzu with a disappointed expression. Misuzu wilted under her gaze.

"…Is that so, Misuzu? Very well, then. Thank you for your hard work until now. I don't want to see your face anymore. Please get out."

Misuzu flinched, her expression turning into terror. She would have fallen to her knees if she wasn't already kneeling. She threw herself down and grabbed Nagisa's left ankle.

"Please don't say that! Misuzu is Nagisa-sama's pet! Please let me stay as a pet! Don't throw Misuzu away!"

"You see, I promised Nagano-kun that I would give my most treasured pet to him. That's how much I like him."

"Alright, stop." declared Noah, and everyone looked at him in surprise at his firm tone.

"Nagisa, I am very happy that you are willing to give me your most treasured pet." continued Noah with a gentle voice. "However, I do not want to take her away from you, and you from her."

"But…" frowned Nagisa.

"Is there another reason you wish for me to take Misuzu's virginity?" asked Noah with a tone suggesting he already suspected there was.

Nagisa blinked, then sighed.

"There is… Misuzu's grandfather is one of my former customers, and we became good friends. I know he recently decided on a fiancé for Misuzu-chan, but that man is… lacking."

She didn't need to continue as everyone understood. Nagisa was trying to derail the engagement for Misuzu's sake.

"Nagisa-sama…" started Misuzu, her eyes tearing up.

"I too am confident that I can give her happiness." nodded Noah. "And I assume that her fiancé has been chosen more for his social and professional status than for any prior relationship with Misuzu?"

"Yes." nodded Nagisa.

"Then we can just tell her grandfather that a young man with a very unique status will soon appear to claim Misuzu, and that it would be in his own best interest, as well as his granddaughter's, to wait and see."

"A very unique status?" asked Misuzu, frowning.

"That's a secret for now." shrugged Noah.

"Un, I could do that. He trusts me enough that he will take me seriously if I tell him this." replied Nagisa. "Still, I want you to have sex with Misuzu soon. I need you to help her get rid of her fear of men."

"Nagisa-sama… I-I am willing to do it. T-Today." said Misuzu after she steeled herself.

She had been moved by Nagisa's care and good intentions, and she knew that since she would have to lose her virginity soon anyway, it was better do to it with someone her Owner vouched for.

"That's great! I'm very proud of you, Misuzu-chan!" smiled Nagisa as she patted her head. "I know it takes a lot of courage. Trust me, it will be fine."

"Y-Yes, Nagisa-sama." replied Misuzu despite her fear. "I am grateful that you have my best interests in mind."

"That is the case. Follow me to my bedroom, Misuzu-chan, Nagano-kun. And Miyuki-chan, you should come as well to give Misuzu-chan some moral support."

"Yes, Nagisa-sama." nodded Miyuki.

Noah stood, looked at Nei, Megumi and Margo, and made a small shrug before following Nagisa.

…

Margo, Nei and Megumi exchanged a glance. Before long, they started to hear muffled noises coming from Nagisa's room.

"How can that guy have so much stamina? He spent nearly two hours with Nagisa. Nagisa!" wondered Nei.

"I don't know." frowned Margo. Either he has a lot of training, or maybe… maybe, he's not actually human? He all but admitted giving his girlfriend the ability to cure the Isrock virus, and no ordinary human can grant powers to others."

"…Actually, there is one kind of beings who can grant others supernatural powers." said Megumi as if she just experienced an epiphany.

"Sacred Beasts."

Margo's and Nei's eyes widened as they thought about it. This explained a lot to them.

"Yes, A Sacred Beast could maybe do all that." mused Margo. "Everything makes sense if he is one of them. His fighting skill, his non-answer when we asked if he could summon Legions. The first Chevaliers were people who received blessings from the Sacred Beasts. It would make sense that Sacred Beasts could summon Legions as well, even if we never heard of one doing so. And it is an established fact that they can take human form."

"Yes." nodded Nei. "Even if he didn't outright say he could summon Legion, he did mention he could recruit the help of a Chevalier. And I don't think any Chevalier would refuse a request from a Sacred Beast associated with his nation."

"What should we do, if he's really a Sacred Beast?" wondered Megumi, suddenly nervous. "Should we kneel before him, or…"

"No. As long as he wishes to pretend he's human, we should act like he is." said Nei as she shook her head. "We shouldn't let him know we figured out his real identity. Maybe he's tired of being worshipped and wishes to experience life as a human? We would be ruining it for him."

"Minato probably found out as well. That must be why she told us that she didn't intend to dig further." nodded Margo.

"Rather, isn't that very flattering somehow?" wondered Nei. "A Sacred Beast noticed our situation and decided to help us personally, and he decided to go along with our plan for weeks rather than speak and have the military go after Sousuke Shirasaka. Is there any greater honor than this?"

"It is flattering." nodded Megumi. "And to think that I am going to have sex with him… I almost feel like I want to be his sex slave after all."

"Yes, he's a good person for sure." nodded Nei. "I have watched carefully how he treats Yukino Shirasaka, and I even felt a bit jealous of her. I too want a lover who cares about more than my looks."

"…Which one do you think he is?" asked Megumi. "Hopefully not the White Lion. It would make things complicated with Japan recently repelling the British."

"I wonder…" mused Margo. "Probably one of the benevolent ones. Maybe the White Tiger?"

The girls started furiously speculating, occasionally searching on internet for the latest sightings of Sacred Beasts.

…

Almost three hours later, Nagisa, Noah, Misuzu and Miyuki all returned. All four of them looked refreshed and happy.

"I take it back!" proudly declared Nagisa with a laugh. "Nagano-kun is able to deal with Katsuko!"

"Is that so?" asked Nei. "You guys took your time."

Noah nodded, smiling as he sat, and Misuzu sat close to him, shoulders almost touching. Miyuki took the other side.

"Okay, what happened over there?" asked Margo with a raised eyebrow.

"Nagano-kun had gentle and affectionate sex with Misuzu, and she quickly got over her fear of him." explained Nagisa. "Then I got all needy and asked for another turn. And Miyuki-chan who was watching got all aroused on her own and started touching herself, so I decided to give her to Nagano-kun as well, and she too got a taste of Nagano-kun's magnificent dick."

"To be accurate, this is joint ownership." nodded Noah. "Misuzu and Miyuki still are Nagisa's loved pets. They will still work at the flower shop, and in the long term, we will all live in the same house."

"Yes. We now belong both to Nagisa-sama and Danna-sama." smiled Misuzu. She took Noah's hand and interlaced her fingers with his.

"That's nice, but will your girlfriends accept it, Nagano-kun?" asked Nei.

"I think so." smiled Noah.

"While you were busy, we got an update from Katsun." said Nei. "She brought Yukino to the mansion and confined her in a room. Yuzuki-sensei is over there too. She's giving you a choice for tonight. You can go with us to the mansion, spend the night here with Nagisa, or return to your own home, but we'll need you the whole week-end."

"I see." nodded Noah. "I will go home and update my girlfriends on the situation, then spend the night with them. I will join you at the mansion tomorrow morning."

Noah wanted to spend some time inside his Sanctuary to create a handful of golems shaped like Japanese Kamuys, just in case. His own Valkyrie-type golems and Black Knights Legions were far too distinctive. Summoning any of them would shred whatever remained of his cover.

And he wouldn't be able to do that from inside the mansion, where cameras were everywhere.

"Alright." nodded Margo. "Please come early, no later than 9 AM. We still need you to rape Yukino a lot, and we'll go deal with those Yakuza."

"Of course." nodded Noah.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Noah left. Checking the hour, he sighed, as it was late evening, and he still hadn't called Kurumi back. He sent her an apology by text where he wrote that he could call her the next day.

…

Unbeknown to both him and Kurumi, some of the people at Deux Ex Machina Industries weren't twiddling their thumbs.

They were analyzing the feedback from that disastrous battle where their new Anti-Spirit generators proved to be not only ineffective, but were also identified and destroyed with pinpoint precision. Unaware of Noah's far sight ability, they believed, not without reason, that they had a spy among their ranks or had been hacked.

After going through their systems with a fine comb and not finding any trace of unauthorized access or malware, they were now starting to audit their employees.

It was only a matter of time before they would find out about a certain researcher having a loose tongue with his online girlfriend.
