Last night was a sleepless night.
As much as Eishi wanted to suppress his wanton desires, he failed to do so. He went to each of the girls' rooms and satisfied them one by one. Mahiru was caught off guard. Haruno was left sleeping soundly after fainting. Airi had to hold her moans, lest she would have woken up her sister who was sleeping beside her. Saeko experienced the premium 'time stop' experience as she was left to cum uncontrollably atop her bed. Megumi was seemingly addicted to being an invisible woman. Eishi fucked her from behind, with the fainted Saeko right below her. He wasn't satisfied after that and went straight to Haruno's office. He experienced how it was to have an exclusive secretary, receiving her blowjob while she hid underneath the desk.
Saya was spooked while she was doing her experiments. She tried to continue her work, dismissing Eishi's thrusts and her inside's squelching as nothing, but to no avail. Ultimately, she succumbed to the pleasure. The ditzy Shizuka was concerned about Saya's well-being, thinking she hurt herself, only to happen onto that scene. That was the time Eishi had sex with her while Saya was around. The two huge and supple breasts pressing against each other was a visual feast.
Shizuka-sensei was resting at the villa's rooftop when Eishi barged in. Before she could pinpoint what had changed on Eishi, she fainted out of mind-numbing pleasure. The responsible teacher was turned into a complete mess by his hands.
Then came the maid Utaha. She was part of the people Eishi wronged the most. His raging lust weakened with her presence, ultimately leaving Utaha with a half-rough and half-gentle experience.
The other one was Mrs. Yuigahama. Eishi wantonly 'turned' her into his exclusive slave, messing with her talent slots without thinking. He chose not to stress her out, satisfying her pent-up frustration inside their bedroom's bathroom instead of fucking her senseless beside her sleeping daughter.
Finally, Shino received her own time with Eishi. Her flexibility and obsessive affection towards Eishi matched his energy very well. He made her faint just like others, also subjecting her to the 'time stop' experience.
By the time he returned to his bedroom, the desires spurned on by Chizuru's existence waned. It was already morning, hence he did not sleep and watched over her instead.
'That strength wasn't from the hormones…'
Eishi clicked on the upper-right menu with a bright-red dot.
[Successfully bound SSS rated Confidante. First-time reward: Joyful Union Jade Bed (Seventh Rank), Spatial Backpack Storage +200,000 cubic meters.]
[SSS-rated Bond "Savage Hunter" has been unlocked.]
The physical reward instantly piqued Eishi's interest. He checked on its details before pausing.
'This thing… Isn't it made for us?'
[Joyful Union Jade Bed (Seventh Rank)]
Details: An otherworldly artifact forged with ten thousand-year-old Nine Phase Ice Jelly, Samsara Silkworm's threads, and 99 other thousand-year-old materials. It is imbued with the function of the 'Law of Joyful Union', increasing all forms of dual cultivation-related talents up to hundred-fold at the seventh-order and below.
Barring the outlandish description, Eishi happened to have a "weak" talent related to sex—[Romantic Link]. The increase it gave towards his attributes was minimal. The same went for the premium contraceptive, the ninth-rank [Life Nurturing Pill]. One-digit increases simply did not give as much enhancement to him as other talents, hence he never focused much on it.
If that increase was multiplied a hundred times, it would be different. Both parties would receive a status increase in the hundreds. A night of sex could empower them in the same way as other non-exclusive talents. Not even the attributes from leveling up could compare to it!
'Sun's Essence too…'
Eishi vaguely felt that the [Sun's Essence] talent fell under the same conditions. If he gave everyone the [Dragon Blood] talent, they could withstand more of Eishi's dick—of his hot cum.
This artifact was a lifesaver, especially when an imminent crisis was coming.
The next thing he checked upon was the Buff.
[Savage Hunter (SSS)]
Base Effect: Permanently increases constitution by 300%.
Group Effect: Amplifies damage towards beast-type species by 300%.
'No wonder..!'
He recalled his unusual state last night. It was something that couldn't have been solely due to Chizuru. She is extremely tantalizing, yes, but not to the extent he would 'rampage' inside the villa without a thought. Of course, that 'rampage' was contained within the confines of the bedrooms. The Sun's essence helped him reel it properly in this regard.
[Eishi Hiraoka]
Innate Talent: Time Dominator (SSS, Fourth-order)
Non-exclusive Talent: Spatial Backpack (3,210,000 Cubic Meters), Constitution Boost (SS, Third-order), Weak Electricity (A, Third-order), Spirit Boost (B, Third-order), Metal Sharpening (A, Third-order), Clairvoyance (A, Third-order), Regeneration (A, Third-order), Law Penetration (S, Third-order), Qi Burst (S, Third-order), Cosmic Barrier (S, Third-order), Sun's Essence (SS, Third-order), Dragon Blood (S, Third-order)
Life Level: Fourth-order, One-star
Strength: 1,529 (1,988)
Agility: 1,526 (5,036)
Constitution: 3,226 (20,324)
Spirit: 3,295 (4,284)
The "20,000" points in his constitution were exceptionally glaring in his eyes.
'If I didn't have the Sun's Essence…'
Though it increased his virility greatly, it also enabled Eishi to rein in his unstable hormones. It held a pacifying effect that made him calm at normal times. Only during bedtime activities would his lust break out completely.
If he didn't possess that talent, he might have turned into a mindless beast who wants nothing but sex for the next week or so.
Eishi took out his sixth-grade spear and wounded his palm. The blade sank easily to his skin, causing a long wound to appear. He gave it an astonished look as the wound swiftly closed by itself. It took a fraction of a second to recover from such an injury.
Before, his high constitution increased his bodily functions—regeneration included. It stacked with his [Regeneration], [Sun's Essence], and [Dragon Blood] to form an insane recovery speed. Eishi's palm injury now required three seconds to fully recover. Now, he only needed a split second… or even less.
No matter how much his former self was a scumbag, he got one thing right.
The system is his hope of turning things around.
Without the system, Eishi wouldn't have reached his level now.
He opened the current list of his confidantes, sporting a long list.
[Bound Confidantes (12/16)]
-Airi Akizuki (SSS)
-Haruno Yukinoshita (SSS)
-Mahiru Shiina (SSS)
-Saeko Busujima (SSS)
-Megumi Kato (SSS)
-Saya Takagi (SSS)
-Shizuka Hiratsuka (SSS)
-Utaha Kasumigaoka (SSS)
-Yukino Yukinoshita (SSS)
-Shizuka Marikawa (SSS)
-Shino Asada (SSS)
-Chizuru Shiina (SSS)
Thinking of the four free slots…
'Four more Buffs will increase our safety for later.'
…Eishi resolved himself to win over four more girls.
*****
"This is strange…"
Kuroneko could not help but mutter. The villa should have been bustling with activity already. Breakfast should have been served, with the ones assigned to combat today readying to move out.
"You don't have to wait for them."
She looked around and saw Ai coming downstairs. She wore her typical maid outfit with a cold look.
"They… were preoccupied last night."
Thinking of the madness they did, a hint of blush crept up on her snow white face. It held zero blemishes, sporting the appearance taken care of for years.
Her superpower was a 'strange' one, [Model Maid]. Every time she does housework, her efficiency increases. She wouldn't feel as tired as before. She would also randomly gain status increases every now and then.
Most importantly, she could assign a 'Master' with her superpower. She could then sense his emotional fluctuations as well as notify her whenever he feels dissatisfied. She could also hear and share vision with her Master, so long as the latter approves of it.
Eishi's dissatisfaction lay in sexual frustration. Though Ai made no moves to investigate further, the level of that dissatisfaction was insanely high. She was monitoring him when his dissatisfaction lessened. Coupled with the faint sounds she heard across the heavily soundproofed rooms, Ai knew what had transpired.
Her "Master" fucked the majority of women present in this villa!
"What do you mean by that..?"
Kuroneko didn't catch her weird expression. Ai ignored her and began preparing for breakfast. Being ignored did not affect Kuroneko much. She stood beside her and said:
"Let me help. It looks like we won't be moving out for today."
"...Alright."
Ai didn't forget to bring out a bunch of hot soup for this breakfast. Kuroneko hasn't seen what kind of soup she cooked, only that it came from high-end herbal ingredients. The type she would never use in her lifetime.
When she asked how much they were, Ai's reply shook her.
"This ginseng is around five million Yen in the market. Barring it, there are also…"
The more Ai spoke, the more Kuroneko's poverty was hammered. Not once did she think that a simple soup would cost millions of Japanese Yen!
"As for its use… you will know in the future."
It didn't take long for the women to come downstairs one by one. Their most common trait was their weak legs. Some looked dazed as they walked. Even the disciplined Utaha whose teasing words struck others' weak points was no exception. This anomaly did not escape others' eyes, especially Yui.
She slept very soundly last night. Once she caught a whiff of that musky and intoxicating scent in the bathroom, she knew exactly what happened that night!
She could not help but feel doubtful towards herself.
'Why does he keep doing it with Mom… and not me?'
Yui didn't want to see her mother sacrifice herself in her stead. She wanted to take on the burden that was originally hers. Most importantly, Eishi's repeated instances of ignoring her made her feel complex… and strange.
Finally, Eishi came downstairs while holding Chizuru in her waist. Every now and then, she gasped due to slight pain. He shot a helpless look towards Mahiru, to which the latter pouted. It was as if she was questioning him whether her power was all for the sake of his happy sexual life.
Still, she cannot resist Eishi.
"All of them, right..?"
"...Mhm."
She softly punched his chest with her right hand before her healing light enveloped everyone. Naturally, the girls blushed with varying levels of shame. This act meant that Mahiru knew who did what. Being exposed in the eyes of many subjected them to embarrassment.
Once the light subsided, their minor pains disappeared. It was most noticeable with Chizuru who only had double-digit attributes. If not for Eishi "holding back", he might have as well penetrated through her cervix. It was pleasurable for him, but it would be extremely painful for her.
She shot Mahiru with an apologetic look before averting her gaze to the ground.
In that manner, breakfast started. They didn't talk much. An air of awkwardness permeated through everyone. Mahiru's actions remained in their minds. Though they knew almost everyone here is Eishi's girlfriend, they chose to not say it directly. They kept their interactions with him private.
Strangely enough, Eishi waited until everyone finished eating. Kuroneko went off first to do their dishes. She was the only one not present at the dining table.
"There are only two weeks left before the aquatic animals emerge from the sea. They are estimated to have a level of fourth-order… up to the sixth-order."
It was the first time he opened up this topic to everyone. They fell silent as they heard of the real extent of the crisis they are preparing themselves for.
"I will say it for the newcomers. My superpower is unique. It relies on the number of my girlfriends to become stronger…"
Eishi reiterated everything he said back then—for Ai and Mashiro to be specific. The former was shocked that there was something like Eishi's superpower. His 'girlfriends' would gain a Buff, and so would he. She attributed the huge disparity Eishi possessed compared to others because of this!
Romantic Link, Lucky Eyes, Martial Master…
Once these twelve Buffs are stacked together, their effects are insane. Ai focused especially towards the one that saved them from deadly attacks once. It was the equivalent of a second life!
'No wonder…'
As for Mashiro, she was just as clueless as before. Only, she has a different perspective regarding it.
'Maybe I can help them more…'
Those Buffs are very easy to get in her opinion. She could also fulfill her frustrations from a long time ago. Kuroneko helped her fully. The same went for Eishi.
Hence…
"I want to become your girlfriend."
""...""
Turns out, cluelessness is a deadly weapon.
