On the day of his scheduled match with Uchiha Inaho, Ryosuke woke up early and began his usual One Punch Man-style training routine, pushing his physical limits.
After a good midday wash—rinsing away sweat and dust—he allowed himself some rest. Balancing work and rest was important, after all. By evening, he decided to head toward the heart of Konoha for a stroll.
The Uchiha district was located on the outskirts of the village, somewhat isolated. After a quick rinse and change, he made his way briskly toward the livelier Konoha streets.
As he passed by a small wooden house, a familiar figure was already waiting: a woman in a kimono, with striking red eyes—Kurenai Yuhi.
Over the past month, Ryosuke hadn't just focused on his physical training. During the evenings, he often hung around near Kurenai's home. Whenever the opportunity arose, he would invite her out for walks or casual hangouts.
Naturally, this had brought them much closer—perhaps even to the point of being considered friends.
Of course, Ryosuke had his reasons. He hadn't forgotten about his "Many Children, Much Fortune" System—the stronger the partner, the better the reward. And Kurenai was his first target.
After all, when a girl agrees to go out walking with you at night, it's a clear signal—what happens next depends on how you advance the relationship. Sometimes the line between friends and lovers is paper-thin.
Often, it just takes physical contact to push things over the edge. Friendship without touch stays distant like water, but a single intimate moment could ignite something much deeper.
As Ryosuke approached, Kurenai spotted his familiar figure—handsome as ever. But now, after a month of intense physical training, his frame had become leaner, more powerful, and even more attractive.
She silently noted that he must've been training with Might Guy, but thankfully, he hadn't become overly bulky or rough like Guy—just refined and fit, the best kind of aesthetic.
Kurenai had lost her father at a young age. Though people didn't mock her openly, the look in their eyes often betrayed pity or distance. But Ryosuke had never looked at her that way.
That was why she agreed to these evening strolls. After long days of work, her home often felt too quiet. These walks with Ryosuke helped her decompress, and besides—Konoha's night view was beautiful.
As Ryosuke reached her, he smiled and asked,
"Wanna go for a walk?"
"Sure."
She had been waiting outside precisely for this moment. The two of them began walking side by side through Konoha's warmly lit streets.
Kurenai found herself enjoying the rhythm of their steps. There was something about his presence—his scent, his energy—that made her feel calm and slightly elated.
But the street was still crowded, and she felt shy getting too close.
They didn't stop for food. Instead, they wandered aimlessly, chatting about this and that. But as they moved farther from the market center, the crowds thinned.
Suddenly, Kurenai reached out and hugged Ryosuke's arm.
His strong masculine aura surged toward her—raw and comforting all at once.
She glanced up at his face, nervous. What if he was annoyed?
But Ryosuke looked surprised—not upset.
He had actually been planning to make a move himself, but she'd taken the initiative, and that made his heart thump with excitement.
Relieved that he wasn't rejecting her touch, Kurenai's heart fluttered. She herself was a little shocked by her boldness—but there was something magnetic about Ryosuke's scent and presence that made her react instinctively.
Feeling the street was still too exposed, Ryosuke led her toward a small, dimly-lit forest nearby.
Kurenai didn't hesitate to follow.
The trees here were dense, and the street lamps didn't reach this far. It was secluded—almost like its own little world.
She still held tightly to his arm, intoxicated by his scent. Something about him just felt right.
Ryosuke finally decided to take a step further.
He gently wrapped his arms around Kurenai.
Her eyes widened in shock.
That's my first kiss…
But the surprise quickly gave way to an unfamiliar but intoxicating sensation.
She didn't dislike it.
In fact, if it was with Ryosuke—she wouldn't mind this kind of closeness at all. Shy but accepting, she closed her eyes and gave in to the moment.
His scent was leagues better than Asuma's.
Whenever Asuma came near her, the smell of cigarette smoke overwhelmed her. But Ryosuke... his presence was clean, warm, and undeniably attractive.
Before long, she began to feel something unusual happening inside her.
It startled her a little—but her body also felt more relaxed than ever.
Ryosuke was clearly fond of a certain soft spot of hers.
Kurenai felt both embarrassed and thrilled.
And Ryosuke?
He was just as excited.
Maybe she was drawn to his natural masculine aura, but Ryosuke found himself captivated by her scent and softness too.
Her figure was beyond ideal—just enough to fill his palms completely.
When she wore her standard green flak jacket, he hadn't noticed. But tonight, in a loose kimono, everything about her curves and softness was that much easier to appreciate.
As the tension built, Ryosuke found himself wondering—
Should I take it all the way here and now, in this secluded little forest?
After all, only through having children would he unlock more system rewards.
