While many things happened between him and Hiratsuka, the two had planned to go back today.
Tobe was fine since probably having fun with many women was his nature, but Hiratsuka was different since, as the older one and also his teacher, she realized that their relationship had gone beyond something that they shouldn't be. It was immoral, and shouldn't happen, yet as it had happened, it was impossible to return to how it used to be.
Like how a rubber band that was pulled, stretched, and became looser, as she had done that to him, she knew well that if he asked her, she couldn't refute, yet instead of him, who sought after him, in reality, she was the one who kept asking more.
Even if they were about to part ways, her lips still stuck to his, seemingly addicted to the taste of his lips and tongue, as they had their deep, lewd kiss.
"I am going home first."
"O-Oh..."
Only, while she was addicted, Tobe pulled away when he arrived at his home, which made her realize that they were about to part ways. Letting out a helpless sigh, she nodded and said, "Go home."
"Yes." Tobe nodded, then left for his home, but before he was about to enter, he knocked on the window of his car.
"What's wrong?"
"Be careful on your way home."
"...I know. Who do you think I am?"
Tobe smiled, then returned to his home, ready to wash away since he had another promise that he had to be as inwardly, he thought that being a student was nice since he could go whenever he wished to be and spent his time with his woman.
If he were an adult, could he do all of this?
It should be, especially if he were unemployed, but by then, the nature of the relationship would be different as he would become a gigolo.
Yet, for Hiratsuka, what had happened between them was definitely impossible to forget, and it would linger on her mind, body, and heart forever.
The taste of his lips, the heat from his erection, and the pleasant sensation that came when they were together.
Despite the immorality that came from their forbidden relationship, she knew well that she couldn't stop it, and they would continue to have a deeper relationship since the more she was with him, the more she sought him as her secret place grew wetter with her love juice.
"You are going out again?"
Meanwhile, when Tobe had washed his body, he met his father, who also planned to go out. "Are you also planning to go out?"
"Yes..." His father appeared awkward, but then he said, "By the way, can you prepare a day next weekend after your exam?"
Yes, Tobe's exam was about to be held, and it was a time for him to show the result of his hard work.
"I should be."
"Then, can you meet Sana-san (OC character, Tobe's stepmother)?"
"Okay."
Tobe had prepared himself, but he also had to admit that it stunned him when everything moved so fast.
"By the way, what's the family name of Sana-san?"
"Er... it should be Ebina."
"So, Ebina Sana."
"That's right."
"Okay."
While the name Ebina was quite familiar to his ear, and it was an uncommon name, it shouldn't be that one, right?
Still, let's check it first.
"By the way, does she have children?"
"Of course, you will be Onii-chan. Here's a photo of her daughter."
His father quickly showed him the photo of Sana's daughter, who would be his little sister.
"Oh, she is still a kid."
Tobe sighed in relief since if his stepsister were the same age, it would be definitely awkward, but if she were younger, then it would be fine since it was easy for him to manage and take care of her.
"Cute, right? She should be in elementary school."
"Okay, just tell me when you want to meet."
"Right away." Tobe's father nodded, then asked, "By the way, how is your stock account? Have you started?"
"I did."
"Oh? Did you lose money?"
"You want to see?"
"Okay, why not?"
Tobe asked his father to help him open a stock market account, and his father agreed, as it could be part of a study, too.
Yes, his son might lose his money, but every lesson in life always comes at a cost.
Fortunately, this stock market was still within the limit of tolerance of a cost, so his father didn't mind.
Was there a lesson that one couldn't bear the cost?
Naturally, it wasn't just due to the money, but also emotions, consequences, and everything, which might end one's life.
Frankly, his father didn't like the stock market much since it was hard to predict, and the economy of this country was like that. Instead of making money, the majority of people would lose their money, so instead of doing a stock market, it was better to work honestly, and get an extra income from a sure method, such as corruption, stock insiders, and many others.
However, when he saw Tobe's total account, he was in a daze before he looked at his son with a dumbfounded expression. "...is this real?"
"Yes."
"It isn't a training account?"
"Should I transfer the money to my account, and you want to check whether it is real or not?"
The 300,000 yen (300 USD) that Tobe put inside his account had become 2,485,867 yen (24,858 USD), making his father look at him as if he were an alien.
"...no, it's fine." Inwardly, Tobe's father thought that Tobe had a talent in this area. As for asking for money from his son, he had never had an idea since he didn't lack one, and it was something that Tobe had worked hard on, so he could only say, "It seems that you have a talent in this area. I won't say much, but just use your money well since when you reach adulthood, you will realize how important it is."
People might say that money isn't everything, yet without money, you can't have most of the things.
At least, it would be hard for one to fill the basic needs such as food, water, a house, and even clothing.
Yet, with this, Tobe's father understood where Tobe got his money to buy his clothes and shoes, but then again, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a plan with that money?"
"Er... tuition?"
The tuition for university wasn't cheap, after all.
"You don't have to worry about that one. I will pay for it for you."
"Thank you very much!"
"It's a normal thing, right?"
After all, Tobe was his son, so of course, Tobe's father would take care of him till Tobe had become an adult.
"Well, if that's the case, then I might buy a property for renting, a farm, or just buy a franchise."
"Then, it is better to get a property or a franchise, since you only need a minimum effort to take care of them. As for a farm, unless it is automatic, and you have someone you really trust, then it is better not to do it since you are still a high school student."
"Okay."
If Tobe were a university student, it might be okay, but as he wasn't and needed to spend his time on studying, if he wanted to make money, then it was better in the stocks since it didn't take much of his time.
Regardless, when everything was talked about, Tobe then left as he had made a promise to go out with Maaya Narasaka.
'Maaya...'
When he thought of this petite girl, who was lively, cheerful, yet so thoughtful, it made him a little helpless since he knew well that her thoughts weren't as simple as they seemed, and somehow, one to another, it led to their outing to the zoo.
Why was it a zoo?
He wasn't sure, but was it because it didn't cost much money?
Yet, frankly, he wasn't even sure whether a zoo was a good place for a date, as the smell of animals' dung was definitely impossible to ignore, but as Maaya wanted him to bring her to that place, he agreed.
However, as he came, he was at a loss since when Maaya wasn't alone and by her side, two little chipmunks were held in her hands, staring at him curiously, as she looked at him helplessly and apologetically.
