Volume 6 Chapter 21 Interlude – The End of the Year*
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
The final exams for the third term were over. Today was March 14th—White Day.1
It was a holiday, but my schedule was full from morning to night. After finishing my morning routine and getting ready, I headed out, with everyone from the water tank seeing me off.
First stop: a café on the shopping street.
This was the same café I used a month ago when I got chocolate from Ishimoto and the others. Today, I was planning to give them my return gifts. Ryota was there with me, of course.
When the four of them arrived right on time, I gave each of them a selection of cookies.
They weren’t homemade. I could’ve asked Chifumi or Risa to make them, and my little sister Kotoha, who’d gotten really into baking lately, probably would’ve helped me make them too. But I wondered… would it be right to give something I’d made together with another girl? So I dropped the idea.
After thinking it over, I decided to prepare the same thing as Ryota: cookies from a good pastry shop just outside town. Ryota and I went shopping together, and we picked out the same types in different flavors.
Along with the cookies, I had one more present prepared. A Higonokami—a traditional-style folding knife.2
The basic construction was the same as the one I’d given to Momono-san. Mantis scythes were abundant as drop materials, and I’d gathered enough to make quite a few of them.
For the record, the blades were made from the scythes I’d collected, and the handles were made from drop items Ryota had picked up in the dungeon.
The materials were Sakura wood dropped by the Unique Variant Sakura Jubokko—a tree yōkai variant—that appeared in the Tamamo Castle West Wing dungeon. I combined two Unique Variant drops and had them forged at the Onigahara Workshop to create an original piece. I think it turned out decent. I made sure to weaken the magical properties to about the level of a good-luck charm so there’d be no problem handing them over to plain-folk.
For the record, each of the four had slightly different designs.
Their reactions when I gave them the gifts seemed good. Everyone looked happy.
When you get to high school, you don’t use pencils much anymore. Even if they never actually get used, I figured they could serve as decorative items to stash away in a pencil case.
We also talked about grades. Everyone was in the top ranks—especially Masuki, who apparently maintained a single-digit ranking. She was modest about it, but she said she hoped to get into the Magical Engineering Department someday, like Aikawa-senpai.
As for me, I finished the year with a personal ranking in the teens and a group ranking of sixth. Not bad at all. Ryota was also surprisingly high up. I wanted to keep up this pace next year and beyond.
I parted ways with the four of them before noon, grabbed a quick fast-food lunch with Ryota, and then we split up.
I retrieved six sets of cookies and Higonokami from the coin lockers at the station and headed to my next meeting spot.
Waiting for me at the edge of the shopping street were Megumi and Miku.
They’d been talking with a group of plain-folk. When they noticed me, they cut the conversation short and came over.
”Everything okay?” I asked.
”Yeah, just some friends from elementary and middle school,” Megumi said.
”All good, wan!” Miku added.
I could see the plain-folk group staring our way.
I caught snippets like “Is that her mom’s acquaintance… her dad?” and “The mad dog Mii-chan’s all over him…”
The two of them pushed me along, moving us somewhere else. They didn’t want their friends to see us together.
I had called them here to deliver the return gifts to Manaka’s group. That’s all.
When I tried to wave goodbye, both of them puffed out their cheeks. Miku started making angry noises and stomping her foot like she was going to charge. She looked ready to use an attack spell, so I gave in. Just kidding, just kidding.
I calmed them down and we walked through the shopping street.
We went through a maze of narrow alleys until we reached stairs going down to a basement. A sign by the stairs said it was a Western-style restaurant. For the public, the sign said “ALL SEATS RESERVED” in big letters, with only a phone number and lunch prices. But for sorcerers—or anyone with a membership card—the sign showed different information.
What the sign actually showed was room availability. To be blunt, this was a café run by the Mayoi-ya group, and the sign worked like a love hotel room selector. The Mayoi-ya had a presence in the shopping street too.3
Naturally, the two of them couldn’t see any of that without membership cards.
”It looks like it’s closed today—are you sure about this?” they asked, looking uneasy, but I headed down the stairs and opened the door. The staff member who greeted us was—I think—the same one who’d been at the Mayoi-ya branch near the shrine during New Year’s. Koki-senpai had told me recently that these staff members were actually interfaces created by the Mayoi-ya itself, not real people.
We selected a three-person room for rest and entered.
Since it was my second time, I skipped the explanation of how things worked. The system was the same at every Mayoi-ya location.
I pushed the two of them, still looking around, into the room, ordered drinks, and got straight to business.
First, I had them strip and stand side by side in their underwear for my appreciation. They’d come prepared, wearing simple but cute see-through babydolls. The kind that made you think, “You really wore that all the way here?”—erotically cute.
It had been two and a half months since the incident on the snowy mountain, and I hadn’t touched them since. The reason was that back then, they hadn’t been on any birth control.
They’d said it was a relatively safe time of the month during the trip, but still—I’d gotten carried away and finished inside them raw, multiple times. When I heard the truth after returning to the 13th District, I honestly felt the blood drain from my face. I’d assumed they’d made arrangements before requesting my “instruction.”
If you want to say it was my fault for not confirming, I can’t argue with that. I couldn’t get too angry. The look on their faces when they told me had a hint of “if it happened, I’d give birth” energy. Even with the possibility of pregnancy, they prioritized receiving my “instruction.” Please stop insisting you were prepared for that. From my perspective, it would’ve been an accident waiting to happen.
Fortunately, we were safe. I breathed a sigh of relief.
I gave them strict orders to take proper precautions from now on. Today’s purpose was to remind them, now that we were ready for raw action, that they were my strong-females—Shoji’s group members.
Over those two and a half months, the two of them had slimmed down just a little. Still, they were mostly still plump. A little belly fat spilling over the waistband of their panties. Since they belonged to Manaka’s group, I couldn’t order them to lose the fat that was directly tied to combat ability.
Well, in this world, a fat-packed figure was considered beautiful and sexy.
I might end up doing it with a “piggy” girl someday—which, in this world, was a compliment. So taking on these two, with their moderate fat reserves, wasn’t bad training for the experience. Their faces were definitely cute, and they’d do whatever I told them.
So today, I left their underwear on and started with a double belly slide.
I had the two plump girls hug each other, then slid my member between their soft, round bellies where they overlapped, thrusting back and forth.
The pressure from their smooth stomachs felt pretty good in its own way.
But I couldn’t quite shake the feeling that something was off.
If I had to pick a positive, while a paizuri’s additional option is a b**job, a belly slide gives you two extras: a handjob and n**ple licking.
It was a bit cramped, but that couldn’t be helped. With two partners, having my left and right n**ples rolled by Megumi and Miku’s tongues while my d**k was rubbed between their bellies wasn’t bad at all.
It might not be my top choice, but in terms of expanding my repertoire, it was useful to get a feel for it.
So I consciously chose and tried things I’d never done with the group members before, experimenting with the plump girls.
I kept the babydolls on for the rest of the session.
I laid Megumi on her side, pulled her top up over her chest, and entered her in the missionary position.
”Ahhh♡ Tatemiya-kun♡”
I looked down at Megumi squirming as she took my c**k inside her for the first time in a while. She was already plenty wet—seemed safe to move.
I pushed her thick thighs apart with my hands, spreading her legs wide, enjoying her embarrassment as I rocked my hips. As I grabbed her legs and thrust forward, three parts of Megumi’s body jiggled: two breasts and her belly.
Megumi was small-chested but had a generous belly. The balance of those three jiggling masses—their synchronicity and subtle phase differences—was apparently what got the men of this world excited. There were rumors that you could tell a man’s skill by how a woman’s flesh moved in the missionary position.
Ryota was actually conducting research on this with his partners, calling it the “God Triangle” or “Divine Frequency”—a real bargain sale on divine wisdom. He’d passionately explained that advanced practitioners considered the movement of arm and thigh fat too, but honestly, I couldn’t relate.
Setting aside the belly jiggle, watching a cute girl gasp and tremble on my d**k was plenty satisfying as a man.
I leaned forward, shifting my weight into a close-contact missionary, nearly pressing down on her. I repeated a cycle of deep, loud thrusts—like a breeding press—then stopping, then thrusting again.
”Noooo♡ Please let me come♡♡ Please♡♡”
The whole point of the edging was to tease Megumi and draw out adorable pleas.
When I stopped my hips, Miku would slither her tongue along my crotch from behind—that felt nice too.
After being mean a few times, I was satisfied with Megumi’s desperate begging. Finally, I pressed down on her from above and released my sperm deep inside her, holding nothing back.
Megumi’s thick thighs, which had climbed up with me at the same time, spasmed and clamped around my waist like they weren’t about to let me go. My hips trembled at the vision of her depths sucking at my tip, slurping the c*m right out of me. I didn’t forget to open the lock and see her soul, either. After a little Mana invasion training, I closed it up.
Even while I worked the lock, Megumi kept her legs wrapped around me. You don’t have to squeeze that hard—I’m putting all of it inside you anyway.
Once the lock was closed, the tension in her legs released, and as I pulled away, thick white fluid spilled from Megumi’s depths. I watched her scoop it up and bring it to her lips while I called for Miku.
Next was Miku. I decided to take her from behind.
I had it in mind to do a standing doggy, but when I took Miku’s hand and got her on her feet, the height didn’t match. The size of our parts didn’t seem to match either, but that’s the mystery of a woman’s body—ultimately, it’d fit, so no worries.
I took another look at Miku’s body. She was a bit on the chubby side—well, can’t be helped; I’d overlook the width. Truth was, in terms of proportions, Miku had a supermodel’s face and leg length. She just didn’t show it because she was small overall and dressed in a way that hid her potential.
Something to stand on… I scanned around and spotted a mystery platform at just the right height. The Mayoi-ya Group’s hospitality was something else.
I directed Miku to stand on the platform, put her hands against the wall, and stick her hips out back.
”Wah♡”
As Miku pushed out her rear, I could’ve sworn I saw a tail wagging back and forth.
I parted her small entrance with my fingers—pink flesh revealed. I rubbed my tip against it to check the slickness, then pushed my hips forward.
God, she was tight. I took it slow until she got used to it, kneading the softness of her belly as I rocked back and forth.
When I did it from behind with the group members, I usually grabbed their hips, ass, or breasts—but in this world, grabbing belly fat was apparently trending. I was giving it a try.
My thing went in and out of Miku’s small body. I pinched the spot from above and pushed it down with my hand—and just like that, I could kind of feel where my son was inside her. Ah, I’m right here now, or The tip just passed under my fingertip. It gave me a strong sense that I was inside a girl, trampling her most precious hole—good feeling of conquest as a male. After a few strokes, Miku’s insides were quickly filled with slippery fluids, and the motion smoothed out.
”My p**sy♡ feels so happy♡ with master inside♡♡”
I turned Miku’s head—she was panting happily even while being ravaged, making these little wafu wafu sounds—and made her swallow my saliva as I kept thrusting hard. Heat slowly built up in my lower back.
For the finale, I lifted one of her legs from behind, forcing Miku onto her tiptoes with just one foot. Her body was flexible and balanced enough to easily pull off an I-shaped hold. Then I pressed her against the wall, pinning her with my full weight against her body. She let out a strained ugh♡ as all my weight bore down on our connection point, her body tensing up.
I savored the intense squeezing as I poured my c*m and mana into Miku. At the same time, I unlocked again.
Feeling the heat and response unique to Strong-Females (Shoji’s group members) with their souls laid bare, I pushed a little more mana into her, then closed the lock. Unlike Megumi’s honey jar that seemed to suck everything out, this was the pleasure of forcefully packing liquid into a small container. After enjoying it, I slowly pulled away.
I collapsed onto the futon, and Megumi immediately started cleaning me up. Miku caught her breath and took care of the c*m overflowing from her own crotch, then joined Megumi in the cleanup.
As I leisurely enjoyed a double b**job, I noticed they’d occasionally kiss each other while licking my c**k. To them, I was master, and they were more than best friends to each other. The yuri state was apparently ongoing.
I teased them about being such c**k-weak yuripples, and got a protest: It’s because you’re Tatemiya-kun! Wah! Apparently, any other guy’s d**k was garbage to them.
Break time ended, and we left Mayoi-ya.
I parted ways with the two at the station. They had to deliver return gifts to Manaka’s companions today—I watched them go and headed home myself.
By evening, when I got back, all the group members were already gathered.
Last night everyone slept at their own places; tonight everyone was staying over.
After dinner, Mitsuki hit me with Recovery magic, and the ecchi time kicked off.
I’d prepared White Day return sweets for everyone, just in case—cookies for all of them. But these weren’t the kind of members who’d be satisfied with just that. So tonight, they’d each request their favorite scenario, and I’d deliver.
Mitsuki’s service play. Asari’s forced capture play. Risa’s masochistic submission play. Yurina’s female cat discipline play. And finally, Chifumi’s stubborn childhood friend banter that shifted into confession play.
When she heard my confession, Chifumi’s body shook in little convulsions as I came hard inside her, then took a breather. I checked the clock—date hadn’t changed yet. Managed to get through it.
After freshening up in the bath, it was time for everyone to sleep.
Or so I’d like to say, but I still had things to do.
Leaving everyone lounging in the living room, I headed to the Doma. Only Risa followed after me.
’There you go, good work.’
”Yeah. Good work.”
’Sorry ’bout that. Had to hold the meeting today ’cause my sister’s around.’
”That’s fine. Risa okay with this too?”
”Yeah. It’s fine.”
Risa could now understand Hinoki .
I’d brought her to this roundtable of anomalies for information sharing.
It was partly to share with Risa, but the real sharing partner was someone else.
”Alright, I’ll switch now…”
Risa closed her eyes once, then opened them again.
Her eyes, once black, had turned red.
’Eh, howdy y’all. Asunaro here. Recovered some inside sis, still ain’t full strength, but I can use her body to talk now.’
”Asunaro. Pleased to meet you.”
Asunaro spoke with Risa’s face, expressionless, in a flat tone—then noticed my gaze.
”Sorry. Using Risa’s body for expressions and voice—still training on that.”
”Good. Thought you were gonna hit me with I don’t know what face to make or something.”
”I do have feelings, you know. Happy and sad. Prince.”
”Prince? You mean me?”
”You lifted me from eternal slumber, didn’t you? So, Prince.”
”Nah, I didn’t really do anything, though.”
”Oh? Is that wrong? You’re not my Prince?”
From what I remembered, that Shadow forced her awake against her will, and Asunaro just got caught up in all that mess. I’d helped her because I wanted her as a combat asset—pretty selfish motives, honestly.
’That ain’t right~. ‘Cause you were there, that Shadow woke Asunaro up. An’ it was you who saved her when she was ’bout to fade. We all helped Asunaro together, followin’ your lead, brother~.’
”Huh? You can… say that, I guess?”
’Why you playin’ dumb? Humility’s a virtue, sure, but you gotta stand up for yourself so folks don’t get the wrong idea. Makes sense to call you the prince who saved our princess, don’t it?’
”Ah, yeah, I guess so…”
Hinoki was laying it on thick—almost uncomfortably so. Wait, was this whole Prince thing Hinoki’s doing?
”I’ve recovered enough to move around using Risa’s body like this. Thank you, Prince.”
”Don’t mention it.”
And so I asked something that was bothering me.
”Can’t you go back to your original body yet, Asunaro?”
Hinoki had secured the original White Centipede body, and Gassa and Miu had repaired the wounds.
”Still need more recovery for that. I’d like permission to stay inside Risa for now.”
”That’s fine, but… is Risa okay with this?”
”…She says she’s fine.”
”Can Risa hear you in this state?”
”Yes. She’s just temporarily lending me control of her body—her consciousness is clear.”
”I see…”
’So, yeah. Since you’re this recovered, I figure we oughtta make you an official member, Asunaro.’
”Official meaning subjugation, right?”
’Yeah, yeah. By making Asunaro your servant, we can channel our power through you to her. Speeds up recovery too~.’
”Oh. That sounds good.”
’Right? Alright, your call.’
”Please, Prince.”
I activated Inherent sorcery against Asunaro (in Risa’s body), those red eyes meeting mine, and absorbed her.
Risa’s form didn’t change—but I could tell my stock of anomalies had increased.
”Alright, switching back to Risa now.”
Asunaro closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, it was the usual Risa.
”Looks like you subdued Asunaro just fine.”
”Yeah. Next is… Hinoki’s power fragment. Still inside Risa, right?”
’Course. Asunaro kept it safe, so it’s in good shape. In its current state, sis can use it too, yeah?’
Following Hinoki’s lead, Risa activated her sorcery.
It took a bit, but a small flame of ashen color flickered to life at her fingertip.
’Sis’s body don’t take damage from my power, and I don’t get affected by hers either. Her magic pistol didn’t work on me ’cause of compatibility. My power can hurt me too, y’know.’
”So when we first met Hinoki in that dungeon, why Risa’s attacks got nullified—it was inevitable.”
’Asunaro knows how to use that power well. Get her to teach you.’
”Is that okay?”
’Sure is. That power’s for you and sis to use.’
It was originally Asunaro’s power. Optimized for her. Now Asunaro was inside Risa. If that arrangement worked, she could stay in Risa until she recovered.
’Thanks, brother.’
”Don’t mention it.”
For me, having Risa as rear guard able to use fire and lightning sorcery was a big help. We’d been missing those elements, honestly. It’d boost the whole group’s combat power and expand our tactical options.
First anniversary implementation character—Risa: Asunaro Override.
A new character born from an existing character’s rarity upgrade. That was the feel. Normally in Risa mode using her magic pistol, she could switch to Asunaro mode to use Hinoki’s fire and lightning as a mid-guard sorcerer. Seemed pretty strong.
”Minoru~. Time for bed~.”
Chifumi called out to me and Risa, surrounded by the anomalies in the Doma.
”Got it. I’m headin’ to bed too~. Hinoki , anythin’ else?”
’Aye, I’m good.’
”That’s it then. Night, everyone.”
’Night~’
The strange apparitions saw us off as we all went to the bedroom.
My first year of high school was almost over.
I let out a relieved sigh—looked like I’d be moving up without any problems.
The moment I lay down, tiredness hit me like a wave, and I fell asleep.
”””””Good night.🎶”””””
(Good night, Prince Charming.)
I could’ve sworn I heard Asunaro’s voice, along with everyone else’s.

Summary:
Tatemiya wraps up the school year by distributing White Day return gifts—cookies and custom-made Higonokami knives—to four female classmates, then recruits Megumi and Miku as couriers for additional deliveries. Their route leads to a Mayoi-ya café, where Tatemiya shifts from errand to intimacy, reasserting his control over his strong-females after a two-and-a-half-month hiatus. The chapter closes with Tatemiya engaging in a deliberately clinical exploration of plump-body dynamics, leaving unresolved the question of whether his performative attraction will ever become genuine.
Minoru engages in intimate acts with Megumi and Miku, using magical keys and locks to observe and manipulate their souls and mana. Afterward, he reunites with his group for planned play sessions before moving to the Doma with Risa to meet Hinoki and Asunaro, where he officially subjugates Asunaro and gains a new power. The session ends with Chifumi calling them to bed, leaving the implications of Asunaro’s integration and Risa’s new abilities as unresolved threads.
The protagonist finishes the school day and heads to bed with classmates after a supernatural encounter. Everyone exchanges casual goodnights as the group separates for the evening. The protagonist reflects on the approaching end of the school year with relief before falling asleep to Asunaro’s distant voice.

While she respects Minoru and handles group duties like gift-giving, she feels unsettled by his escalating violence, yet she maintains her loyalty and trusts his judgment despite her reserved nature.
• Asari – A tall, long-haired, bespectacled Kasakura honor student, this analytical, polite strategist serves as Minoru’s devoted partner and Risa’s future host. Close to Mari and Nagase, she uses Silicic Armor to manifest crystal barriers. A perceptive defensive specialist knowledgeable in Aberration mechanics, she uses formal speech to interrogate spiritual mysteries, currently recovering from mana exhaustion.
• Yuri – A cheerful and energetic first-year student at Higashi High who is a classmate of Shibuya and an acquaintance of Kibe Yurina from their middle school days. A girl known for being aggressive toward Hayato and displaying overt favoritism.
• Doma – A member of the household who directs the protagonist out of the living room during preparations.
• Hinoki – This non-binary, ancient spirit shares a consciousness with Minoru and manifests as a 30cm metallic white centipede. Speaking in a blunt, warm Northern dialect, this former field leader maintains a playful, teasing bond with the protagonist. They wield fire and lightning, command insects, and possess the ability to shrink to enter and cleanse other beings, though their true form remains separated.
• Asunaro – An entity serving as a daughter-like protector of Hinoki’s power for over a thousand years. Once a distinct being, she now acts as a medium for that power, currently residing within Risa. With her own consciousness faded, she influences Risa’s ability to understand Hinoki’s speech, bridging the connection between them.
• Shadow – A parasitic entity originating from a jewel as the collective will of past Yukizuki heads, it sought to exploit Hinoki’s power by possessing hosts like Risa and her mother. Responsible for the Oboroka sorcery, this malicious force suppresses its victims’ souls and shows no regard for their well-being. It was ultimately thwarted and expelled from both hosts after failing to create a divine sorcerer.
• Centipede – A former high-level Apparition currently reduced to a powerless, disembodied state. It speaks with a manipulative, merchant-like tone.
• Gassa – An Aberration and pet-like entity residing in the annex area within Minoru’s shadow, who also contributes to Asunaro’s physical repairs.
• Minoru – Minoru Tatemiya, a lean, black-haired student and reincarnated mob protagonist, serves as the analytical, pragmatic narrator who secretly rules the 5th District as a Demon Lord. A skilled tactician using shockwave and spatial magic alongside command of snow flies, he ruthlessly protects his group. He manages his estate while mentoring allies like Mai, Mitsuki, and Risa while hosting Hinoki.
