I finally understood why my soba shop was the true foundation of my life in this world.
"What should I do tomorrow~?"
Night had fallen. The construction on the new soba shop was still going to take a while. There were plenty of other tasks waiting, but most of them had been delegated to reliable people. Unless I went out myself, there wasn't much I actually had to handle personally.
"This world sure has a lot of holidays…"
National holidays, city holidays, guild holidays — somehow, every four days there was always a break. The reason was simple: most businesses were run by individuals. People like me who operated their own shops needed days for restocking, paperwork, and other chores. So even on "holidays," everyone still had plenty to do.
"Oh, right. Tomorrow I'll do the guild rounds."
I currently belonged to three guilds. Time to go around and say hello properly.
---
First stop in the morning: the Magic Guild.
Things had been a little tense between us, but thanks to Miju-san's mediation, the relationship had been warming up nicely lately.
"Izumi-san, good to see you."
The guild staff welcomed me with warm smiles and ushered me inside.
"Here's the payment for half a year."
Delivering it monthly was a hassle, so I'd brought the agreed annual donation and membership fee in one lump sum.
"Thank you so much. Please, have a seat."
They guided me to a luxurious sofa in the back room.
"We ask for small donations from all the mages, but there simply aren't many of them."
One in a thousand people had the talent, right?
"This kind of generous support is truly helpful. We look forward to continued good relations."
The guild master bowed deeply.
Curious, I asked something that had been on my mind.
"Does the Magic Guild also take on magical requests?"
"Yes, of course. Part of our role is to mediate work for our members."
Interesting. I might ask them for something next time.
"We'll be happy to assist with any requests. By the way…" The guild master suddenly remembered. "Izumi-san, you know Avarael-san, don't you? Has she shown up again lately?"
Avarael-san had been acting as a completely different person ever since she rejuvenated herself.
"She seemed well, but I haven't seen her around recently."
"…She was an outstanding mage. To be honest, we're quite troubled without her."
Avarael-san's creative magic could produce incredibly useful tools and artifacts.
"If you hear anything about her whereabouts, please let us know. After all, she spent most of her later years drinking at your tavern."
Next — the Adventurers' Guild.
"Good to see you, Izumi-san."
A high-ranking guild official greeted me. He was a battle-hardened veteran missing one arm.
"I've brought the donation, and I wanted to check on the progress of the request I placed."
I handed over the heavy bag of gold coins.
"Thank you as always. Thanks to your support, the guild building has been renovated and our healing facilities have improved dramatically."
It was true. The place used to be littered with injured adventurers literally lying on the floor. Now it was clean and orderly.
"As for the request… the reward is high, and we're even paying for information and advance fees, so there are quite a few volunteers. Still, we don't have good news yet. Please be patient with us."
Yeah, I figured.
"We only give advance payments to trustworthy parties and only accept verified information, so we still have a good amount of the gold you entrusted to us. We'll notify you when it starts running low."
"Understood. Thank you."
While we were talking, a cute female voice suddenly rang out from beyond the door.
"Boss! Boss!!!"
The one-armed official clutched his head with his remaining hand and sighed.
"Boss! It's bad! There's blood everywhere!"
The woman kicked the door open with enough force to nearly break it and burst inside.
"Shut up. I have a guest. Take the injured to the treatment beds already."
"But! There's so much blood! It's scary!"
With a massive sigh, the official turned to me.
"Izumi-san, I'm sorry. Please wait just a moment."
I stayed seated. The woman who had come to call him soon returned, looking completely relaxed.
"Blood everywhere, so scary~"
She said it casually while helping herself to a glass of water.
"Water tastes so good~"
She smiled brightly.
…Wasn't she the one who just reported an emergency? What was she doing drinking water like nothing happened?
"What kind of person are you? The boss rarely handles guests personally."
She grinned, strangely friendly and approachable.
"Ah, I'm this guild's—"
Suddenly, every alarm bell in my head started screaming.
Something was off.
It felt like she was trying to get rid of me.
No… something was very wrong.
Before I could even finish the thought, the words burst out of my mouth.
"Penguin!!!"
When in doubt, call the penguin. And sure enough—
"Yo, you called?"
The penguin appeared with a wine barrel under its flipper.
"Wha—?!"
The woman looked shocked.
"Relax. This guy's not here to assassinate anyone."
The penguin took a casual swig from the barrel.
"…Wh-what…" The woman stared, stunned.
"I had a really bad feeling about her."
"Yeah, figured."
My intuition isn't usually great, but her behavior was too weird. And that smile… her eyes weren't smiling at all.
"This woman is an imperial spy."
"…A strange creature suddenly appears…"
The woman's smile turned ice-cold and cruel.
"I will report this. You are a threat to the Empire."
She vanished into thin air.
"She disappeared?!"
Shit! Was I about to get reported as a danger to the Empire?!
"Chill. I already erased the relevant memories."
Huh?
"She infiltrated the guild recently. She got close to the higher-ups and was gathering information on you."
Damn… I really am being watched from all sides.
"If you hadn't noticed something was off, it would've been fine. But you had to show off your sharp instincts. So I'll just wipe the 'spy memories' and put her back to normal."
"Is… is that going to be okay?"
"No problem. Besides, we need her here."
"Why?"
"Because some idiot is going to go all-out with guts and willpower to gather Sandman pillow materials just because he wants to fuck her."
Apparently it was still far in the future.
Some simple-minded, horny adventurer had convinced himself, "If I get rich, she'll let me have sex with her!" and was going to risk everything to obtain the materials.
"His future is hilarious. I haven't laughed this hard at a future vision in ages."
The penguin chuckled happily.
"In short, he needs her to succeed."
"Exactly. Only she can ride a flying Zaldberg across the frozen continent and pluck its feathers. No one else could do something that insane. Only a man driven by 'I want to fuck the receptionist girl!' could achieve such a superhuman feat."
What kind of lunatic was that?
"While I was looking at his future, he kept saying the funniest shit. 'Those tits… just thinking about squeezing them makes my body burn!' while running around completely naked. But humans are amazing. No other creature could do it. Not me, not a merman, not a Sandman. Even an immortal would slow down in that extreme cold. Yet he'll pull it off."
The penguin sounded genuinely impressed.
"Karina is the same. Humans are incredible. When they get an idea in their head, nothing is impossible."
In the end, the whole incident at the Adventurers' Guild was smoothly covered up. The penguin's memory manipulation worked perfectly.
That bird really is a total cheat.
Last stop of the day: the Cooking Guild's chairman.
As usual, he wasn't at the guild hall. By evening he was always at the cabaret club.
"Chairman~"
"Oh! Izumi! Come, come, sit down! Don't be shy!"
…This is my own store, you know.
Today he was at Annie's place. The shop was nicely full, which was a relief. Annie had been worried that sales were lower compared to the new branch.
I didn't mind, but I hated seeing her depressed.
"Chairman, any particular complaints lately?"
One of the guild's roles was to receive customer complaints. It was customary for grievances about shops to go through the guild first.
"Just the usual 'hurry up and reopen already.'"
"Then that's good."
I wanted to reopen before customers forgot about us.
"Still, having your shop in that district is a huge help. It's basically a local landmark now."
He grinned.
"And you built such an amazing place! Cheers to Izumi!"
"Cheers!!"
The customers joined in enthusiastically for some reason.
It was lively. Just seeing everyone having fun lifted my heart.

(Ami's Perspective)
My senior at the company was acting normal as usual.
But today, during lunch break, she suddenly let out a weird noise while scrolling through net news.
"Haaah?"
"Unou-senpai, what's wrong?"
I was behaving normally at work too.
"…Ami, do you know Crazy Nasty?"
Crazy Nasty?
She looked at my blank face.
"Never mind if you don't."
"What is it!? Now I'm curious! It's a band, right? You were in a band!"
At my words, she muttered bitterly.
"Reunion… second album… new tour…"
"Oh, they're coming back?"
"After all that shameless behavior."
Senpai's voice dripped with disgust.
Maybe she hated them?
"Whatever. More importantly, Ami, are you free Friday night?"
My heart skipped.
Friday night.
That meant the usual—
"I'm free! Senpai!"
It was going to be another night of madness.
"Auuuuhhhhh♡♡♡ Please use me♡♡♡"
Senpai was completely naked, pressing her forehead to the floor in a full dogeza while holding a piece of paper.
She was diligently licking the man's toes, one by one.
"Is this… a marriage registration form?"
The man looked at the paper curiously.
"It's a marriage registration♡♡♡ Men have to submit the paternity acknowledgment♡♡♡ But I can file the marriage papers by myself♡♡♡"
"I get the practical side, but…"
The man stepped on Senpai's head, grinding his foot down.
"Hiiigyyyyyuuuuuuuuhhhhh♡♡♡♡♡ Full naked dogeza and now my head is being stepped on♡♡♡ It's so humiliating I'm losing my mind♡♡♡"
"I don't plan on going back to Japan, though."
He wasn't returning to Japan.
Come to think of it… where even were we? It was always that strange shifting space after sleeping at Senpai's house.
"That's fine♡♡♡ I just want you to acknowledge the child♡♡♡"
The man looked troubled, but kept grinding his foot into her head.
"I'm already married… well, technically polygamy at this point. Still…"
Even while saying that, he kept trampling her head.
It was an incredibly cruel scene, yet Senpai moaned happily.
"I'm so happy♡♡♡ Being stepped on♡♡♡ Showing my pathetic side to my junior and loving it♡♡♡"
She was getting off on her own humiliation.
"Well… whatever. I don't want you turning into another Yuzuki. Let's do this properly."
The man casually filled out the documents.
"You know where to stamp, right? Handle the rest."
He tossed the papers aside.
Senpai picked them up lovingly, cradling them like treasure.
"…Unou should be able to handle the rest properly. Yeah. But I really am awful, aren't I?"
He nodded to himself, then pulled Senpai into his arms.
"Take good care of the baby."
He kissed her.
"Mmmmnnnn♡♡♡"
The moment their lips met, Senpai lost control and pissed herself.
"I'll take care of the baby♡♡♡ I'll cherish it♡♡♡ The kiss makes me so happy♡♡♡"
She sat in the puddle of her own urine and bowed deeply.
"Thank you so muuuuch♡♡♡♡♡"
Then she passed out.
I must have lost consciousness too. When I woke up, Senpai was still lying there soaked in piss, yet desperately clutching the marriage registration form to her chest.
"…Senpai."
"I'm so happy♡♡♡ Marriage♡♡♡ I get to be his wife♡♡♡"
It wasn't the image of a mother fiercely protecting her unborn child.
It was the pure, blissful expression of a female who had finally been claimed and recognized by her male.
Later that night, after all the guild visits were done, I returned home to find Valante-san waiting for me, eyes already glazed with that dangerous mix of sadism and masochism.
But tonight, the one who needed attention most was the newly submissive Oumi-chan, who had been clinging to me ever since our last intense session. She crawled onto the bed the moment I sat down, pressing her small body against mine.
"Master… I want it rough again tonight♡♡♡ Choke me, slap me, treat me like the spoiled little sow I am♡♡♡"
I grabbed her by the throat immediately, squeezing just enough to make her gasp, while my other hand came down hard on her plump little ass.
*SMACK!*
"Say it properly. Tell me what you want."
"I want your big cock to ruin my tiny pussy while you choke me until I see stars♡♡♡ Slap my ass red and call me your dirty loli cumdump♡♡♡"
*SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!*
I spanked her repeatedly, turning her pale skin bright red as I pushed her down onto all fours. I slammed into her dripping cunt from behind in one brutal thrust, bottoming out instantly.
"Aaaaaahhhhh♡♡♡♡♡ So deep~♡♡♡ You're splitting me open♡♡♡"
I wrapped my hand tighter around her slender neck from behind, cutting off her air just enough to make her head spin while I pounded her without mercy.
*THWAP THWAP THWAP THWAP*
"Beg for it louder. Tell everyone how much you love being choked and fucked like a cheap whore."
"I love it♡♡♡ I'm your choking loli whore♡♡♡ Choke me harder, slap my tits, make me cum while I can't breathe♡♡♡"
I reached around and slapped her small breasts hard, pinching her nipples until she screamed. Her pussy clenched violently around me with every slap and every squeeze of her throat.
Merry-chan, Miu, and Aou watched with hungry eyes before joining in. Merry-chan slid underneath Oumi-chan in a 69 position, licking where my cock stretched her hole while I kept railing her.
"Does it feel good getting your pussy eaten while I choke you?"
"Yes♡♡♡ I'm going to cum so hard♡♡♡ Don't stop choking me, I want to pass out on your cock♡♡♡"
I tightened my grip and slapped her ass even harder, the sharp cracks mixing with her wet, squelching moans.
Miu pressed her fluffy body against my side, rubbing her soaked slit on my thigh.
"Me next, Master♡♡♡ Choke me and slap me too while you fuck me raw♡♡♡"
Aou clung to my back, licking my neck and whispering, "Auuu… rough… want rough too♡♡♡"
The room filled with the filthy sounds of flesh slapping flesh, wet squelching, and four lolis begging for more abuse.
I pulled out of Oumi-chan only to flip her onto her back, pin her legs to her shoulders, and drive back in even deeper, choking her with both hands now while I hammered her cervix.
"Gonna fill you up. Take every drop like the greedy little breeding sow you are."
"Yes♡♡♡ Breed me♡♡♡ Fill your loli sow's womb♡♡♡ I want your cum leaking out for days while you slap and choke me♡♡♡"
I came hard, flooding her tiny pussy until it overflowed. The moment I pulled out, Merry-chan dove in to lick the creampie out of her while I moved on to Miu, grabbing her fluffy tail like a handle and pounding her doggy-style, one hand choking her, the other raining slaps on her ass and tits.
"Nyaahhhhh♡♡♡ Your cock is so mean today♡♡♡ Slap me harder, choke me until I squirt♡♡♡"
The back-and-forth dirty talk never stopped.
"Tell me how much you love being treated like meat."
"I love it♡♡♡ I'm just holes for your cock♡♡♡ Slap my fluffy ass red, choke your little beast slut♡♡♡"
We kept going for hours — positions changing constantly, girls stacked and overlapping, me alternating between choking throats and slapping every soft inch of their bodies while they screamed and begged for more.
By the time I finally exhausted myself, all four lolis were covered in red handprints, drooling, leaking cum, and wearing blissful, broken smiles.
Oumi-chan in particular clung to me the tightest, whispering hoarsely, "More tomorrow too… choke me, slap me, ruin me every night♡♡♡ I'm completely addicted to being your rough little toy…"
And with that, another long, filthy, satisfying night in my growing harem came to an end.
