Chapter 1152. Approaching the night / Seldom Illegal

「 Excuse me 」

We went back to the room where the Anna couple, the lawyer, and Shou-neechan’s discussing the transfer of stocks.

The group consists of Erica-san, Ruriko, Momoko-neechan, Tsukiko, and me.

Michi, Nei, Sebastianus(Yamada Umeko-san,) are all waiting in the corridor.

「 Uhm, Anna-san, Erica-san has something to tell you 」

Ruriko breaks the ice with Erica-san’s parents.

「 Yes, what is it? 」

Anna Kenichirou replies worriedly.

「 We mentioned earlier that the events that unfolded today were shocking to Erica-san. Therefore, we believe that instead of letting her come to her home, we’d shelter her in our home for a while 」

「 Is that so? 」

「 Erica 」

The Anna couple looked at their daughter sadly.

「 However, since we have people around us observing, we want Erica-san to be learning manners in the Kouzuki house. If that’s the case, there will be no oddities if Erica-san is with us in our car when coming and going to school 」

「 Is that okay? 」

That’ll mean that Erica-san will become a relative of the Kouzuki house in effect.

From the eyes of the father, who’s the representative auditor specializing in a large enterprise, then creating a unique relationship with the Kouzuki house is something he welcomes.

「 Yes, Erica-san’s like a younger sister to me 」

Ruriko replies with a gentle smile.

「 I see. If it doesn’t trouble you, then… 」

「 Please take care of Erica 」

From the Anna couple’s perspective, the father kept quiet that Erica-san’s born from a surrogate mother until now…

And the mother kept quiet that Erica-san is biologically her Grandfather’s daughter.

They both feel guilty about their daughter.

Then, they understand why Erica-san ran away from home, so…

Instead of forcing her to come back home, they think that it’s going to be better for their daughter’s mental stability if she stays in the Kouzuki house, with girls of Ruriko’s age.

「 It will also be lonely for the parents, so she will be at your home for three days a week. Then, she will stay in ours for the remaining four. She’s learning manners from our place after all. That’s how it will be publicized 」

「 Thank you 」

The Anna couple bowed to Ruriko.

「 Well, Erica-san, don’t you have something to tell your Father? 」

Ruriko commands Erica-san with a smile.

「 Ah, yes 」

The young beauty comes forward nervously.

Then, Tsukiko wearing the red and white shrine maiden outfit from behind me…

「!!! 」

She fills the room with her Miko power.

「 F-Father, Mother…t-thank you for raising Erica so far… 」

Erica-san starts to talk totteringly.

Her parents are listening earnestly.

The lawyer who’s sitting with them too.

「 I-I…I’ve become Kuromori-sama’s s-slave…sex slave today… 」

Erica-san’s shocking confession is changed into something non-problematic in the minds of the parents thanks to Tsukiko’s power.

Therefore, they’re showing no reaction to what their daughter just said.

「 Erica…w-will become a lewd, indecent slave, used to satisfy Kuromori-sama through s-sex…a slave that serves only Kuromori-sama. Erica will use her mind and body to have him enjoy it all 」

Erica-san pledges while blushing from embarrassment.

「 L-Later…s-soon…Kuromori-sama…he’ll take Erica’s first…Erica’s virginity…he will rape me…Kuromori-sama will put in his penis inside me…then cum inside me 」

Her parents continue to listen to their daughter with a smile.

「 I-I’m sure that I-I’ll get pregnant! But Erica’s…Erica’s Kuromori-sama’s slave for the rest of her life…so, I’ll bear his child, give birth to it. What do I do? I’ll become a mother while still in middle school 」

「 Don’t worry, we’ll all raise them together 」

Ruriko told Erica…

「 Uuuu…Father, Mother…E-Erica…I’m about to do my first service in sex 」

The couple…

「 Yes, I know that it’ll be hard, but do your best 」

「 It’s your decision, so we’ll support you 」

Oh, they still think that it’s the conversation where Erica’s learning manners in the Kouzuki house.

「 Y-Yes, I-I’ll do my best 」

Erica-san told her parents with tears in her eyes.

「 Then, shall we go deflower Erica-san? 」

Ruriko gives the final word.

「 Yes 」

Then, Shou-neechan

「 Use this room… 」

Then, she gives me a card to another room.

Oh right, the conference room had no bed.

「 Yeah, thanks 」

I took the key, then spoke to the Anna couple.

「 Leave Erica-san to me, I’ll be sure to love her for the rest of her life 」

As a sex slave.

「 Yes, please 」

「 Please take care of Erica 」

The couple doesn’t understand that I’m about to deflower their daughter after this.

◇　◇　◇

「 Haaa, that was amazing. I was just watching and yet, it was also thrilling for me 」

We left to the corridor and closed the door. Then Momoko-neechan said.

「 Momoko-neechan, please don’t shout too loud here 」

I said.

Even if they’re far, the subordinates of Kouzuki SS are standing watch.

「 Oh, right. I’m sorry 」

Momoko-neechan covered her mouth.

「 Let’s go back to the break room for now 」

「 Huh? Kou-chan, why don’t we go to the room with the keycard directly instead? 」

Momoko-neechan asks.

「 No, we’ll bring everyone 」

This is Erica-san’s precious ritual.

Besides.

Since it’s Shou-neechan, I’m sure of it…

「 Anyway, we can’t talk here 」

「 Right. Then, let’s go back to that room 」

We go back to the break room we were in earlier and closed the door.

「 Haaaaaa 」

Erica-san sighed loudly.

I…

「 Weren’t you aroused? 」

「 Huh? 」

Erica-san looked at me with her big pupils.

「 Weren’t you aroused to announce that you’ve become a slave in front of your parents? 」

「 I-I… 」

Erica-san looks down bashfully.

「 Be honest, Erica-san, you’re wet right now, aren’t you? 」

「!!! 」

Erica-san looked at me, startled.

「 Answer me 」

I ordered my slave.

「 I-I’m wet 」

「 Right? I thought so.. 」

I…

「 I know that Erica loves doing lewd stuff like this 」

I’m going to call her without a suffix now.

「 That’s…I… 」

「 I mean, weren’t you aroused? You wanted to try out the lewd stuff, don’t you? 」

I press her.

「 The idea of sex somehow makes you feel some awful guilty conscience. That feeling of “I’m doing something I shouldn’t,” gives the shivers, doesn’t it? 」

「 Yes… 」

Erica nodded lightly.

「 I guess I’m a lewd girl after all 」

「 That’s good 」

Ruriko smiles.

「 Onii-sama will teach you a lot of indecent stuff 」

「 Are we starting Erica’s training already? 」

「 Yes. After all, Erica-san is already Onii-sama’s slave. You made your oath, signed a contract, and even told your father and mother 」

「 Yes 」

「 Therefore, what’s left is to stop worrying and offer your everything to Onii-sama 」

「 I understand 」

Good, Erica’s mind is now stable.

「 Ah, I knew it, it’s only live in one line 」

Nei opens the laptop in the break room and confirmed.

「 I think that we can watch Yo-chan and Erica-chan’s sex in the other room from here! 」

「 Shou-oneesama’s the one who made the preparations so she won’t cut corners 」

Ruriko said.

「 With that said, Momoko-neechan, if you’re going to watch then you can watch it from this room 」

I said.

「 Erica’s deflowering will be her training so I don’t want her to be worrying about spectators 」

It’s not the only reason, but…

「 Can’t help it, oh well. I can drink tea here, and I’ll watch while eating some sweets 」

Momoko-neechan said.

「 I’ll play with Momoko-san 」

Nei smiled.

「 Ruri-chan’s the one responsible for bringing Erica-chan so you want to be with her, right? 」

「 Yes, as her senior as Onii-sama’s slave 」

「 I mean, you also want to take photos and videos, don’t you? 」

Nei laughed.

Ruriko’s filming sex is already her lifework.

She loves both filming herself have sex with me and filming me have sex with other women.

Especially when there’s a new girl…

「 That’s true too, but, in Erica-san’s case, I just love her as my sister so much 」

Ruriko said and smiled.

「 I think that Onii-sama only knows her face of grief, but, Erica-san in school is very energetic, cheerful, and a free girl 」

「 Right, she’s the star of the middle school after all 」

Momoko-neechan sits down and said.

「 She’s athletic, and she’s also loved by both her seniors and juniors, the top girl in the middle school…and she now belongs to Kou-chan 」

「 This girl is also the same type who can’t live without Master I’m sure of it 」

Michi who’s been quiet all the time speaks up sullenly.

「 Just like me 」

Erica’s a year junior to Michi.

Furthermore, Erica’s not a daughter of nobility, and so Michi, who’s a servant of the Kouzuki house, isn’t fussy when talking to her.

「 Okay, if that’s the case, Michi’s also coming 」

I decided.

Ruriko and Michi will be enough for Erica’s deflowering.

「 Oh, Kou-chan, you won’t bring her? 」

Momoko-neechan points at Tsukiko.

「 It’s not my place to be there 」

Tsukiko replies.

「 Why? Won’t it be convenient to have you around? You can control Erica-san to make her feel good when it’s that time, right? 」

Momoko-neechan feels that way after seeing Tsukiko’s power used multiple times.

「 No, Mooko-neechan, I’m training Erica to be my sex slave so we don’t need doping 」

I said.

「 Oh, I see. Hey, Kou-chan 」

「 What? 」

「 If you have her power, you can make anyone do whatever you want, right? 」

Momoko-neechan?

「 Kou-chan, do you have no ambitions at all? 」

She looked at me and smiled.

No, she’s testing me.

「 You see, if you’re naive with Tsukiko’s power, it’ll swallow you up 」

I said.

「 That’s why I only use them to the minimum 」

「 Oh, that’s unfortunate 」

Momoko-nechan smiles wryly.

「 I mean, you have such an exceptional power, and yet 」

「 Yeah, it sure is an amazing power. But it’s not mine 」

「 But this girl will listen to any order you give her, right? 」

「 Yes, it is as you say 」

Tsukiko replies with a graceful smile.

「 If that’s the case 」

「 Tsukiko knows that I will not give any irresponsible orders 」

I looked at Tsukiko

「 Our relationship is built on trust, it’s a bond. If I ever betray Tsukiko’s trust in me… 」

「 Even so, she will follow your orders I think 」

Momoko-neechan said.

「 This girl is unlike me, she’s the type who’ll follow obediently 」

I…

「 I think so too. I know that Tsukiko will use her power as I order her, even if that order is against her trust 」

「 If that’s the case 」

「 And, that will result in Tsukiko’s heart breaking 」

That’s what I fear

「 The Takakura shrine maidens sure have some amazing powers. But, they’re all just ordinary girls inside. If Tsukiko uses their power while they’re not convinced, then they will wave their huge power and their spirit will burst. To put it simply, it could cripple people 」

「 It’s like holding the sharp edges of cutlery! If you don’t hold it carefully, then you’ll end up knocking down anyone you touch 」

Nei said.

「 Yeah, that’s why I don’t seek Tsukiko’s help unless they agree to use their power. And I’m always prepared to take responsibility for whatever happens as a result of my orders. If not, I’ll be afraid to use their power 」

Tsukiko;

「 In the long history of the Takakura shrine, never has been a person who’s able to use the power of our family successfully. Even if they succeed in controlling the shrine maiden, they’re still afraid that the shrine maiden will look into their mind or manipulate their consciousness in most cases 」

Yeah, the Kansai Yakuza didn’t use the Miko power in the end.

Because if they come close to the shrine maidens, it would be their demise.

「 Also, the people near the shrine maidens always have their true intentions exposed, and so it pains the heart of the shrine maidens. Therefore, they’re all short-lived 」

「 Being able to read minds is not always a good thing! Just making contact with ordinary people every day will get to your nerves 」

Nei said.

Yeah, that’s why Tsukiko’s mother went shut-in to the depths of the shrine.

She doesn’t meet with anyone but her husband, and she hardly made contact with her daughters.

Being able to see minds is painful when you make contact with a lot of people.

「 You too? 」

Momoko-neechan asks Tsukiko.

「 No, after all, we all entrust everything to Kou-sama 」

To me.

「 Kou-sama has no duplicity. There is no need to use our power to see what he’s thinking because it’s already in his face, besides, he never has any secrets about us 」

That’s natural.

I already know that Tsukiko can see everything, and yet…

What’s there to hide?

「 Even if you think that way, ordinary people couldn’t reach the same conclusion as Kou-sama 」

Tsukiko read my thoughts and replied.

「 Besides, Kou-sama has a clear evaluation standard on everything 」

「 Kou-chan does? 」

「 Yes. Kou-sama will always act for his family, no matter how loathsome it can be. And he will be thorough with it. He never cuts corners until the problem is resolved 」

That’s just natural for me to do for my family.

「 However, when it comes to those who are not family, he never touches them unless there’s a guaranteed decent return 」

That’s also natural, we’re no charity.

「 Kou-sama’s standards are far off from the ethics of ordinary Japanese people. For example, Kou-sama will not bat an eye when violating the law 」

「 Well of course, after all, we’re… 」

Nei looked at me.

「 Yeah, we’re members of the Black Forest, a criminal syndicate. 」

I said.

「 As for the law, well, we have the room to follow them, we want to follow them when possible, but I don’t assume that I have to follow them all 」

「 Oh? But since you’re a Japanese citizen, shouldn’t you be thinking that you have to follow the laws in Japan? 」

Momoko-neechan said.

「 Why? 」

「 I mean, Kou-chan, it’s the law of the country. If you don’t follow the established rules, then you’re going to be told to leave 」

「 That’s why we don’t expose ourselves violating the laws, so we don’t get told that. But, who makes the laws in the first place? 」

「 It’s the representatives and politicians we choose who make the Diet 」

「 And so we have to follow them? I don’t get that 」

I said.

「 But, the politicians make the law and everyone has to follow, that’s how a country works, right? 」

Momoko-neechan said.

「 It’s only in the case of constitutional states. Some countries have dictatorship government 」

Nei said.

「 Originally, during the Warring States period in China, when the Hundred Families of the Five Hundred Sons was in power, the “jurists” argued that the state should be governed by having the people obey the laws, right? The Confucianists believed that the state should be governed by the power of virtue of virtuous people. And with this kind of ideology, China has been governed by the rule of virtue until modern times. 」

「 But, after the modern era, all nations are supposed to be constitutional states 」

「 Right…I think that there are still a lot of countries that are formally constitutional states, but they’re actually dictatorship 」

I don’t get what these two are arguing about.

「 Ya-chan, what even is “dictatorship?” 」

「 Well, the constitutional state is where the rules by law are set in advance and people have to follow those no matter what. In case you do something that’s not in the rules, you’re not guilty until the rule is made, so they’re going to fill in the hole. That’s why new laws increase 」

I see.

「 But in a dictatorship, the minute rules change when the policymaker wants it. Like “You’re okay,” then “you’re not forgiven” or “I feel sorry for this guy, I’ll pay you a lot in reparations,” or “I won’t give you anything,” they can decide as they please 」

「 Isn’t that just messed up? 」

「 But, most dictators who are popular with the people are usually like that, aren’t they? Well, it won’t be just for those countries 」

Nei said.

「 You see, I have my driver’s license in America! So here’s a story back then 」

Yeah…

「 You see, you have to learn the traffic laws since you have to take an exam there, but, if you asked “Is it illegal to do something like **,” so, there’s this thing called “Seldom illegal” 」

「 What does that mean? 」

「 Seldom illegal means that sometimes, nobody will think that it’s a problem, but if some bad police find you, you’ll be apprehended for the illegal act 」

「 Huh? Is that even possible 」

「 Of course it is. America’s supposed to be a great constitutional country, but in reality, there’s wiggle room for the police officers to freely change the operation of the law to their mood. Well, it’s always true wherever you go. Japan’s not the only country that demands strict morals from the police officers see? No matter where you go, people don’t trust the police that much. After all, in most countries, cops can do whatever depending on the bribe 」

Nei said.

「 Law is only the ideal state. If ever one of the citizens was drowning in the ocean, then the state would have to save that person because it has to protect the lives of its citizens. That’s the law. But, they can’t save someone who’s drowning where nobody knows. That’s the reality 」

「 Oh, I get it. That’s why we have to protect our family by ourselves, no way that anyone outside will help us in our hardships without appropriate compensation 」

I think so.

「 It’s that kind of reality, and so, I have no intentions of helping anyone outside the family without appropriate compensation either. It’s likely that we help out someone unknown and then put our family in danger as a result 」

「 True 」

Nei’s been a member of the Black Forest years before me.

She’s also a victim of crime, she lost her family.

「 We don’t trust anyone outside the family, be it the law, police, or the nation 」

「 Yeah. That’s why we’re okay violating the law to keep our family safe. Of course, we don’t ignore it most of the time. If we do that, it’ll only cause trouble to the family 」

I said.

「 It’s as you can see. Kou-sama may be ethically wrong, but still, he has a clear standard for himself. And he never gets lost in the circumstances because he has such standards. He makes his decisions instantly 」

Tsukiko said.

「 That’s why, we, the descendants of the Takakura shrine entrust everything to Kou-sama. Kou-sama never hesitates, and so we, who carry out Kou-sama’s orders show no doubts either 」

That’s…

「 For example, using my power on the Anna couple earlier, ethics wouldn’t allow that 」

I had Erica announce that she’s my slave to her parents.

No, even before that…

We continued to hide the fact that Erica’s not a daughter of the couple.

Normally, we should be telling the couple the truth about Erica, and yet…

「 But, to Kou-sama, the Anna couple is outsiders, and Erica-san is someone to enter the family. He’s made his decision from the start so he shows no hesitation. He has a clear solution on acting on how to bring determination to Erica-san. Therefore, I use my power without hesitation too 」

Tsukiko said.

「 I’m just dumb, so I can’t find out good ideas if I hesitate, so I’ll just act as I decide 」

I said. Nei.

「 Eeh? But that’s what I love the most about Yo-chan! I think that’s cool 」

「 I think so too 」

Ruriko said and looked at Erica.

「 Erica-san, don’t you think so too? 」

Erica trembled.

「 U-Uhm, I got wet again 」

Huh?

「 He’s going to violate me later, right? 」

「 Yeah, I will 」

I replied.

「 Erica, weren’t you interested in sex, rape, and training all this time? 」

「 Y-Yes…I’m a lewd girl 」
