Roiza's shop was drowning in problems.
Too many customers. Way too many.
"The new store won't be ready for at least another month…"
Even that timeline felt optimistic. Almal was working her ass off, but construction this detailed took time.
"Let's close the take-out crepe window in the evenings~" Yuiira suggested calmly.
"We should also ask Zoil Affair to help out~"
"Yeah, good idea."
I sat down with Yuiira for a quick strategy talk. This woman's sharp mind had saved my ass more times than I could count.
"Yuiira-san, I can't thank you enough. If you hadn't come, I honestly don't know what would have happened to the business."
"Oh my~"
"I'm serious. You're incredibly important to me. I'd love for you to stay with us permanently if possible."
Her cheeks flushed a lovely pink.
"Ara ara… that almost sounds like a pickup line, you know~"
"Ah—! S-sorry! I didn't mean it like—"
She giggled softly. "It's fine. I know you truly respect me, and that makes me very happy~"
She really was charming.
"By the way… about your husband…"
"Fufu. He's a good man~ We rarely get to meet, though."
"I heard he's a regular soldier stationed at the border."
"…In a country where war almost never happens, border duty still exists. It's a lonely job, but it's his duty~"
For a moment, genuine loneliness flickered across her face before she smiled again.
"But I love this lively shop. My daughter is happy here too. So am I~"
I decided not to mention that Roiza had kissed her daughter. Yeah… better keep that quiet.

"Zoil Affair, thanks for today."
"You're welcome."
She smiled gracefully. She was currently living on the second floor of Roiza's shop.
"Once the new store is finished, you can live above it. You won't have to walk home late at night anymore."
"Honestly, I hate walking the streets after closing. This kind of consideration… I really appreciate it."
She really was beautiful. Almost ethereal.
"By the way, don't you have a short name? Most people with long names do."
She blushed faintly.
"Fair… maybe?"
"Fair… That sounds really cute."
"C-cute?"
"Yeah. Like a fairy. The nice kind, not the evil ones from stories."
She looked a little dazed for a second, then whispered, "Cute, huh…"
"Fair-san, would you like to go pick out some custom clothes with me next time?"
Custom tailoring. In this world, ready-made clothes were for commoners. Nobles and the wealthy had everything made to order. Even my shop uniforms were all bespoke.
"...!? Y-yes."
"I want to find something that looks perfect on you."
Fair nodded slowly, a dreamy expression on her face. "Okay…"

Later that night, I was deep inside Miju, fucking her hard on the bed.
"I can't believe you, Master~"
"What?"
"You were totally hitting on Fair, weren't you?"
"I was not!"
"She was practically floating on air when she came back. Face all red, giggling to herself."
"Come on…"
"Look, you've got the face, the drive, the money, and you're actually nice. Of course women fall for you. Especially girls who've never been treated like proper women before. Once the fire starts, they burn hot."
I didn't know what to say.
"Anyway, I heard you're getting married soon."
"Yeah…"
"That's what I wanted to talk about." Miju grinned mischievously while grinding her hips. "Become a Great Merchant."
"…Huh?"
"You already have a position in the Guild, right?"
"Yeah."
"A Great Merchant has to support the Merchant Guild. So, how much do you think you need to earn?"
I blinked.
"The monthly contribution to the Guild is about 10 gold coins."
That was roughly a million yen. Not as bad as I feared.
"Plus other donations… maybe 100 gold a year. So around 250 gold annually in total."
About 25 million yen.
"Wait… I can actually afford that?"
The take-out crepe window was printing money. We were making one gold coin in pure profit per day, with almost zero material cost. Adding the wholesale crepe batter supply brought in another 20 gold per month.
Between the two existing shops and the new one coming online, we were looking at nearly 240 gold a year from crepes alone.
Miju stroked my cock slowly as she spoke.
"See? You can do it. So become a Great Merchant… and then make me your concubine."
"…What?"
"I don't want to sleep with any other man ever again. Ever since I started fucking you, I haven't touched anyone else. My body is completely ruined for anyone but you."
She sank down onto my cock in one smooth motion.
"Aaahn♡ So big…♡ Once you know a cock this good, nothing else will ever satisfy you~♡"
Miju started riding me hard, her breasts bouncing wildly.
"I'm stopping contraception from today♡♡♡ You better take responsibility, okay?♡♡♡ I'll support you with everything I have, so let's all be happy together~♡♡♡"
Her words hit me straight in the chest.
"Miju… you want to have my child?"
"Yes♡ Breed me♡"
She slammed her hips down, taking every inch.
"Ooooh♡♡♡ It's swelling… it's getting even bigger inside me♡♡♡ Yes… just like that… cum inside… fill me up♡♡♡"
"Miju, I'm so happy. You're the one who helped me move on from my old world. You gave me the courage to live fully in this one. So please… have my babies."
"I will♡ I'll give you as many as you want♡ Let's make lots and lots of babies together♡♡♡ Aahn♡ I love you… I love you so much♡♡♡ I'm cumming… I'm cumming already♡♡♡"
Miju bounced faster, her pussy squeezing me like a vice. She suddenly arched her back and squirted hard, soaking my abs and the sheets.
"I'm cumming!! Give me your cum! Shoot it straight into my womb!!!"
With a deep groan I grabbed her hips and slammed upward, burying myself as deep as possible.
*SPURT—SPURT—SPUUUURT!!*
Thick, powerful ropes of cum blasted directly against her cervix. The same overwhelming sensation I felt when I impregnated Merry hit me again. Her womb seemed to suck greedily at my cock, milking every last drop.
"Haa… haa… I'm pregnant♡ I'm definitely pregnant now♡ No more contraception… I'm going to have your baby♡"
We stayed locked together, kissing deeply for a long time, tongues tangled, breathing each other in.
