Byakuya kept Kiyoko company for several drinks.
Since they were just having beer, Byakuya felt fine after those few glasses. Kiyoko, on the other hand, was already starting to flush.
Still, she wasn't drunk yet.
"Your tolerance is actually pretty good, Kiyoko-nee."
Byakuya remarked.
At least it wasn't as bad as Akira's—Akira would probably collapse after drinking this much.
"It's still way worse than yours. You look completely fine while I'm already feeling dizzy."
Kiyoko was getting a bit tipsy.
...
Several more drinks later, Kiyoko gradually slipped into a drunken haze.
"I can't... I can't drink anymore..."
Kiyoko didn't try to tough it out. She set down her glass, indicating she was done.
Unlike most people who would stubbornly insist they weren't drunk when they clearly were.
[Ding! Host has defeated Kiyoko Aura in a drinking contest. Reward: 10 Fusion Points!]
Byakuya had long grown accustomed to these absurd system reward triggers.
"Alright, no more drinking then. Time to head home."
Byakuya nodded.
But the moment he finished speaking, Kiyoko slumped forward, apparently having passed out drunk.
So... I still have to carry Kiyoko-nee home after all...
However, since Kiyoko-nee had passed out, it would be convenient to use Kamui's spatial teleportation.
Byakuya lifted Kiyoko onto his back in a natural manner.
Though Kiyoko had a fuller figure and was naturally heavier, with Byakuya's physical capabilities, this posed no burden at all.
If anything, the only thing under pressure was... little Byakuya...
After all, her shapely thighs wrapped in black stockings felt incredible in his hands, and the sensation pressing against his back was equally impressive.
But Byakuya would never do anything inappropriate in a situation like this...
After confirming Kiyoko-nee was asleep, he carried her into the Kamui dimension.
From there, he teleported to Kiyoko-nee's home.
He'd been to the Aura residence before, so precise teleportation was possible.
If it were somewhere he'd never been, precise teleportation wouldn't work.
For instance, if he wanted to go to Los Angeles right now, he couldn't simply teleport there directly.
The principle behind spatial teleportation used the Kamui dimension as a "transit station."
Point A (real world) → Transit station (Kamui dimension) → Point B (real world)
That was the logic—but the prerequisite was that he had to have visited Point B in the real world.
It was as if every place he'd been automatically formed coordinates, enabling direct spatial teleportation.
When Byakuya teleported with Kiyoko to her home, she stirred slightly.
"...Hm? Did I black out?"
Kiyoko was confused.
It had only felt like a moment had passed, yet when she opened her eyes, she was already home.
Byakuya didn't answer.
Instead, he carried Kiyoko to her bedroom door.
"Kiyoko-nee, may I go in?"
Byakuya asked.
"Mm..."
Kiyoko murmured softly in acknowledgment, clearly not recovered from her drunken state.
Only then did Byakuya open the door and set Kiyoko on her bed.
Glancing around the bedroom, it was clear Kiyoko-nee hadn't been keeping up with cleaning lately.
Since he was already here, Byakuya decided to tidy up her room a bit.
But just as he was about to start, he felt someone tugging at his clothes.
"...Kiyoko-nee?"
Byakuya turned around.
Besides him, only Kiyoko was in the room.
"I want... to sleep. Help me change into my nightgown..."
Kiyoko said.
"Oh, okay..."
Byakuya responded.
Though being asked to help her change felt a bit awkward... there was no alternative in this situation.
He couldn't exactly leave Kiyoko-nee, completely incapacitated from drinking, to do it herself...
Byakuya went to the wardrobe and opened it. He automatically filtered out certain mature, sexy undergarments and retrieved a particularly noticeable set—a light, semi-transparent nightgown.
Though this nightgown was a bit... that... he couldn't immediately find anything more modest.
"Kiyoko-nee, will this nightgown work?"
Byakuya asked after taking it out.
But Kiyoko seemed to have fallen asleep again, showing no response.
Byakuya had no choice but to proceed.
He personally removed Kiyoko's investigator uniform until she was down to just her underwear.
Inevitably, he saw Kiyoko-nee's figure, gaining a more comprehensive understanding of her body.
Her figure wasn't just full—there was hardly any excess flesh.
But looking was looking. Though unavoidable, Byakuya's hands didn't pause.
He immediately helped Kiyoko into her nightgown, then pulled the covers over her.
Before leaving, Byakuya even tidied up her room, then finally departed.
...
By the time Byakuya returned home, it wasn't too late.
But the exceptionally sharp-nosed Rize caught him immediately. After all, he'd not only carried Kiyoko-nee on his back but had also gone through her wardrobe and helped her change—the scent of another woman on him was unmistakable...
"Alright, spill it. Who were you fooling around with this time?"
Without even getting close, Rize had already detected another woman's scent on Byakuya. She immediately confronted him.
It wasn't just Rize—Mayu and Washuu Chika were also sitting in the living room.
Kurona and Nashiro were out on a mission in another ward and wouldn't be back tonight.
"What was Onii-chan doing out there?"
Hearing Rize-neechan questioning Byakuya, Mayu clearly didn't understand what "fooling around" meant.
Sitting beside her, Chika leaned over and whispered in Mayu's ear, "It means he was out flirting with other women. In other words, your Onii-chan is a playboy. That's basically what it means..."
"Playboy?"
Mayu immediately turned to Byakuya and asked, "Is that true, Onii-chan? Chika-neechan says you're a playboy."
"Wait!..."
Chika hadn't expected to be sold out instantly.
Her expression turned awkward, and she could only smile sheepishly at Byakuya, worried she'd upset him.
"...Let's not make this more complicated."
Byakuya sighed lightly.
But he didn't deny the "playboy" part—because he really couldn't...
"So you're admitting you're a playboy?"
Rize picked up on this immediately.
"..."
Unable to respond, Byakuya could only change the subject. "To stick to the facts, this time it was Kurona and Nashiro's superior who invited me out for drinks."
"Kurona and Nashiro's superior?"
Rize thought for a moment. "I think I've heard them mention her—supposedly a stunning beauty?"
Rize immediately fixed Byakuya with a penetrating stare. "Hmm? Isn't that right?"
