Chapter 496: Big Sister

Kouhei woke up to find Kyouka already taking a bath in the bathroom.

They had spent the previous night at a hotel, where they had sex throughout the night. Now that morning had arrived, Kyouka was getting herself ready for the day while Kouhei was still lying in bed, slowly waking up and trying to get his bearings.

“Kouhei-kun, are you awake?”

Kyouka soon emerged from the bathroom with her body completely covered by a towel. She looked as though she had been thoroughly worn out the previous night, but now that she had recovered, her usual mature appearance had returned. Looking at her now, it was hard to imagine that she had been moaning loudly and telling him how much she loved him over and over again just a few hours earlier.

“You should get ready, too. We only have an hour left before we need to leave,” she said calmly.

“Okay,” Kouhei replied as he climbed out of bed.

They had booked the hotel for the entire night, and it was certainly a lavish place to stay. Spending a night somewhere like this would cost quite a bit of money, but Kyouka had more than enough wealth to afford it without worrying about the price.

Although she worked as a teacher, she had taken the job simply because she wanted to do it. Her salary wasn’t something she particularly cared about, and she certainly wasn’t doing it because she needed the money to support herself.

After all, Kyouka was a demon and the leader of her own faction, which had now become part of the Kouhei faction as well. Over the years, she had accumulated an enormous amount of wealth and assets. She probably had enough money to establish her own bank if she ever decided that she wanted to do something like that.

However, despite being ridiculously wealthy, Kyouka rarely bothered to touch much of her fortune. She would use it whenever she considered it necessary, but otherwise, she didn’t see much reason to spend her money simply because she had plenty of it.

In her eyes, money was useful because it gave her the freedom to do what she wanted. She didn’t particularly care about collecting more of it when she already had more than enough to live comfortably.

The main reason they had rented the hotel was that they planned to spend some time together after their date. Naturally, that included having sex once they were done going out.

Unfortunately, they hadn’t gotten to use the room as much as they had originally intended because they had ended up fucking in public spaces while they were still out on their date. Their original plans had certainly taken an unexpected turn, but the hotel hadn’t gone to waste, either. They had still come back, enjoyed themselves, and spent the rest of the night relaxing together.

Considering how the evening had turned out, Kouhei couldn’t exactly complain.

After Kouhei finished showering and getting himself ready, he and Kyouka finally left the hotel together.

“Kyouka-san…” Kouhei whispered as he leaned closer and brought his mouth near her ear. “Don’t forget your promise.”

Hearing those bold words from him caused Kyouka’s face to turn red almost immediately.

This guy was becoming more and more of a sadist as time went on.

At this point, Kyouka was beginning to think that it was only natural for him to develop that side of his personality. Although she had initially found it surprising that Kouhei could be so sadistic, she was also discovering that she herself had a somewhat masochistic side.

In a way, their preferences seemed to balance each other out rather nicely.

The promise Kouhei was referring to was the one Kyouka had made about preparing her asshole for him. In other words, the next time they went on a date, or whenever they decided to have sex again, they would try anal sex.

Kouhei certainly hadn’t forgotten about that promise, and judging by the way he had brought it up, he had every intention of reminding her until the day finally arrived.

“I won’t forget,” Kyouka replied, still looking a little embarrassed. “I’ve already ordered the things I’ll need for the preparations.”

She had ordered anal beads and some lubricant to prepare herself beforehand. The actual preparations would take some time, so they probably wouldn’t be doing it anytime soon, but the day would eventually come.

For now, however, she had no intention of letting Kouhei rush her. If they were going to try something new together, she wanted to make sure she was properly prepared rather than simply agreeing to everything without thinking it through.

Meanwhile, someone happened to spot Kouhei and Kyouka as they were leaving the hotel.

“Kouhei-kun… and Amemiya-sensei?”

The person who had witnessed their departure was none other than Hiyori.

“Hiyori-sama?” asked the person accompanying her.

It was Sena, who was currently traveling with Hiyori to one of the Ichinose Family’s estates.

They were on their way to attend an important family gathering where one of the most significant discussions in the history of the Ichinose Family was scheduled to take place. The matter was considered so important that every member of the family had been required to attend, including Hiyori and even her own grandmother, who could no longer remember many of the details of the discussions taking place around her.

Whatever they were going to discuss, it clearly wasn’t an ordinary family meeting.

The fact that they had insisted on gathering everyone together was enough to show just how seriously the family regarded the matter.

However, while their car was traveling toward the estate, Hiyori happened to look outside and spotted Kouhei and Kyouka leaving the hotel together.

For a moment, she simply stared at them.

She had absolutely no idea why the two of them were together, much less why they were coming out of a hotel at this particular time of the morning. Unfortunately for her peace of mind, her imagination immediately began supplying answers of its own.

Rather unpleasant answers, as a matter of fact.

Images of the two of them having sex the previous night suddenly flashed through her mind, and she couldn’t help imagining that they had just finished doing exactly that before leaving the hotel together.

The more she thought about it, the darker her mood became.

She didn’t even understand why the sight bothered her so much. Kouhei was free to spend his time with whoever he wanted, and Kyouka was an adult who could make her own decisions. Logically speaking, there was nothing strange about the two of them staying at the same hotel. Well, not logically. If Hiyori’s assumption or imagination was correct, then they are having an illicit teacher-student relations with each other.

Well, even if that was the case, logic wasn’t doing a particularly good job of calming her down.

Instead, something unpleasant began swirling inside her heart, growing darker with every passing second as her imagination continued running wild.

“Hiyori-sama?”

Sena called out to her again, apparently trying to bring her attention back to the present.

Hiyori finally turned to look at her.

Then she smiled.

It was a rather creepy smile, one that made Sena feel as though she had accidentally stepped into a situation she would have much preferred to avoid.

“What is it, Sena?” Hiyori asked, her voice sounding perfectly calm.

Sena shivered.

She had never really considered herself someone who frightened easily, but that smile alone was enough to send an uncomfortable chill down her spine. Something about Hiyori’s expression made her feel that asking the wrong question would be a terrible idea.

“N-Nothing,” Sena replied hesitantly.

She had initially wanted to ask what was wrong with Hiyori, since she had suddenly gone quiet. However, after seeing that unsettling smile, Sena quickly decided that her curiosity could wait.

Whatever had crossed Hiyori’s mind, Sena had no desire to become involved in it.

The rest of the journey continued, and after a while, their car finally arrived at one of the Ichinose Family’s estates.

The estate was certainly not modern by today’s standards. Its architecture carried the appearance of an older era, with a traditional design that stood apart from the buildings that had become common in the present day.

However, the property had been maintained so carefully throughout the years that it barely showed any signs of deterioration. The building still possessed the appearance of an old estate, but it didn’t look neglected or worn down. Instead, it seemed as though time itself had been carefully preserved within its walls.

It was the sort of place that made it easy to imagine generations of the Ichinose Family walking through the same corridors, holding meetings in the same rooms, and passing down their traditions from one generation to the next.

The estate’s age was obvious, but so was the care that had gone into maintaining it.

As Hiyori stepped out of the car, someone greeted her.

“You’ve finally arrived, lil sis,” the woman said.

It was none other than her own big sister.
