"Is my figure... not as good as that Idol's?"
Her brain felt like it was melting from the kiss. Rurikawa Tsubaki's eyes shimmered with spring-like moisture. After her fragrant tongue parted from Kazuma's, it lingered in the air for a moment before slowly withdrawing. The girl released a sweet sigh and spoke softly.
"Besides, she's an Idol."
"What nonsense are you talking," Kazuma flicked her forehead. "You're a superhuman now, Tsubaki. How could you not compare to an Idol? Even with her Idol status as a bonus, her allure can't match yours."
Kazuma kissed her fair face, savoring Miss Maid's delicate skin and bright eyes. He couldn't resist licking her large eyes and long eyelashes. "Your skin, figure, flexibility—everything is superior to hers."
"But... her breasts are bigger than mine."
"..."
"Not by much. And haven't you misunderstood something? It's not like I like them bigger the better. Yours are the perfect size and shape, complementing your body just right," Kazuma reached up and grasped Rorikawa Tsubaki's breasts, whispering in her ear. "I just felt them. The texture isn't as good as yours. Yours are more... bouncy."
Only then did Rurikawa Tsubaki feel relieved.
"Since when have you become so insecure? To be provoked by an Idol sent as a gift."
Kazuma teased her with amusement.
Rurikawa Tsubaki leaned against her master's chest, her forehead resting against his chin, burying her face in Kazuma's shoulder. "Even after evolving, I'm still just an ordinary girl... Maybe I'm afraid Master will be tempted by other beautiful girls. After all, as Master's fame grows, more and more people will try to curry favor, sending those 'gifts'."
It was precisely because her love for Kazuma was growing stronger that such worries arose.
"Even so, Tsubaki, you are one of a kind to me."
Kazuma said very seriously. Although these girls, these heroines, were quite abnormal at first, as they spent more time together, Kazuma found they weren't much different from ordinary girls. Though they all crave my body.
But their emotional infatuation and dependence were no less than their physical desires.
Just like Rurikawa Tsubaki now. This down-on-her-luck Miss Maid had placed her entire heart on Kazuma. Her master was her everything. Hearing Kazuma's sweet words, she couldn't restrain herself for a moment. Like a snake spirit, she coiled her arms around his neck. "Master, love me..."
...
Even after bathing and putting on clothes, Yumenoki Seika still felt a bit confused. Why didn't he take advantage of me? Could it be he wants to go back on his word, not planning to help me? When she first heard she was being given as a gift, her heart was filled with utter rejection.
Now, not having been played with, Yumenoki Seika felt uneasy again, her mind plagued by anxieties.
When she returned to the room, Kazuma and Rurikawa Tsubaki were still there waiting for her. Tsubaki's clothes were neat and tidy, as if nothing had happened. Only the blush on her face and the kiss marks on her neck betrayed what had just transpired.
Not only that, but a strange scent still lingered in the room. Even with the window open, it hadn't completely dissipated.
What is this smell?
Yumenoki Seika was puzzled.
"Seika, I will help you with your matter. Although I don't know much about the entertainment industry," Kazuma put down the newspaper, which featured news about Yumenoki Seika. "But I will find someone to help you. She has a lot of influence in this area and can give you a new life..."
Hearing he was willing to help her, Seika pushed all other matters to the back of her mind, no longer caring. "Thank you... Master."
Such an address made her feel a bit ashamed, her toes curling. However, Kazuma was used to it, probably because Tsubaki called him that every day.
"Now, let's talk about another matter," Kazuma patted the newspaper with the news about Seika's scandal, pointing at the reports slandering her. "This public opinion and defamation... do you know who is behind it? Why are they targeting you?"
"I don't know," she shook her head, gritting her teeth. "Although I haven't offended anyone in the circle, peers are rivals. It must be some washed-up Idol jealous of my popularity and heat, deliberately slandering me like this."
She speculated with malice.
"It's not that simple, Seika. Have you heard of the hidden underground AV Idols? Specifically provided for the wealthy to play with, a hidden underground pleasure ground. From what I know, Idols whose popularity has faded are taken there to 'debut' again as AV Idols."
"...I didn't know about such things," Yumenoki Seika, who had just sat down, abruptly stood up again, her eyes widening in shock. "Could it be I was targeted by them?!"
"Intentionally suppressing your popularity and heat, pushing your Idol career into crisis, then luring you to that place to work in the AV industry. If your president hadn't wanted to curry favor with me, your ending might have been quite tragic."
Kazuma smiled. This kind of thing wasn't unusual. Even setting this world aside, back on Earth in his previous life, many girls had been tricked into the sex industry. There was even that infamous Lolita Island—how shameful!
Yumenoki Seika didn't doubt Kazuma's words. Given his identity and their current relationship, there was no reason for him to lie to her. The more she listened, the more she felt this possibility was high, and a chill ran down her spine. Although it was all about being treated as a toy, being played with by one person or a group of people, the former was clearly better.
Besides... this master treats me pretty well; he doesn't treat me like a lowly plaything.
And he's quite attractive... he's still a high school student, and if you look closely, his face is so soft... I guess I'm not losing out, gulp.
Kazuma couldn't read minds and had no idea that the idol's thoughts had wandered far off course.
"Since you're one of my people now, it's only natural that I help solve your problems. Besides, dealing with them is one of my goals as well—they're my enemies."
Although the idol's wish had nothing to do with those scumbags and perverts, the Boyman Family had already made their move. Naturally, he intended to return the favor. Mira's actions last night had been a little excessive, but that alone wasn't enough to satisfy Kazuma.
Let's start with this so-called "Underground Amusement Park."
"Can I come too?" the previously silent Yumenoki Seika suddenly asked. "I want to see for myself which bastard was trying to harm me..."
The pink-haired girl's fingers clenched so tightly that they turned pale. She was clearly the type who held grudges.
"You can."
"Master," Rurikawa Tsubaki said, "isn't it dangerous to bring her along?"
The word burden was practically written across her face.
"There's no safer place than by my side. Besides, this concerns her directly, and we're all on the same side now. Let our idol broaden her horizons a little as well."
Kazuma looked at Seika.
"Just don't act recklessly. Stay close to me, alright?"
The idol girl nodded vigorously.
For some reason, she suddenly felt nervous. Was her mysterious master, whose origins and background were completely unknown, about to personally confront those people? Wasn't that dangerous? And that maid simply allowed him to do whatever he wanted?
While the idol was lost in thought, Kazuma checked his phone and saw a message from the agency president.
"Let's go. We can move now."
He put on the Stone Hat and handed the Invisibility Cloak to the two girls.
