Chapter 88 Reika’s Secret Lunch and the Fairy’s Clever Lie


Edited by: Kanaa-senpai


 My nerves were tighter than usual as I went about my part-time job in Japan. I’d already finished my online shopping, and the supplies were set to arrive on Sunday morning. Once I stored them in my Treasure Trove, I’d head back to the other world.


 Reika had been messaging me every single day—mostly small talk, but it was a first for me, chatting with a girl like this. It was… nice.


 Then came Saturday. Reika showed up at my workplace, perfectly timed with my lunch break. It was a holiday, so she was dressed casually, but her outfit was undeniably elegant. A white headband in her hair, a button-up shirt, and a flowing skirt. She even had glasses on.


 ”Sorry to keep you waiting, Shoichi,” she said, her voice soft.


 ”It’s good to see you, Reika. Though, since we’ve been texting every day, it doesn’t quite feel like it’s been long,” I replied, still puzzling over why she called me “Sho-kyun” with heart emojis in messages but “Shoichi” in person.


 She’d brought a handmade lunch for me, which I wasn’t expecting. We found a quiet bench, and she explained the glasses were just for style—no prescription. She’d dressed differently, she said, in case she ran into someone she knew.


 ”How is it?” she asked, her eyes on me.


 ”It’s… amazing,” I admitted, genuinely impressed. “You made this?”


 ”I did. Woke up early to prepare it—wanted it to look and taste good,” she said, a hint of pride in her voice.


 Having a girl make me lunch… it was a first. Normally, I’d be touched, but more than that, I felt this strange satisfaction—like I’d claimed someone as high-class as Reika. It was almost like my darker desires were being fed. Maybe it’s because I’d never had a relationship before. I felt like I couldn’t feel “normal” love anymore—something in me had twisted.


 Even as I ate, feeding my ego, I suspected my Ego Points were rising. Thinking about it, I started to get why Ami-chan had chosen me.


 As we ate, Reika leaned closer, her scent—shampoo, I think—filling my senses. Despite her elegant appearance, she was surprisingly clingy in messages.


 ”Thanks for the meal,” I said, setting my lunchbox aside.


 ”Hehe, you’re welcome,” she replied, her tone playful.


 ”Now that we’re done eating, should we get into the explanation?” Ami-chan’s voice chimed in my mind. With others around, she stayed invisible. We started laying out the situation.


 ”…So, that’s how it is. My companions were killed, and I fled here. Those monsters are assassins after me, yo~,” Ami-chan explained, her tone grave.


 ”I see… So they’re not here to invade Earth. That’s a relief,” Reika said, her expression serious.


 Ami-chan wasn’t lying, exactly, but she was definitely framing herself as the victim. I noticed she was choosing her words carefully.


 ”Why are they after you, Ami-chan?” Reika asked, curious.


 ”Because I’ve got power they don’t, yo~. Like creating Magic Girls through me, or forming a special Dominion with a contractor,” Ami-chan said, pride in her voice.


 ”A special… Dominion?” Reika repeated, her eyes widening.


 We dove into explaining the other world—how I’d become the contractor, building a Dominion in a land of swords and magic. Reika’s eyes sparkled as she listened.


 ”A Dominion can turn wasteland into fertile land, depending on how it’s managed. I’m developing a remote area in that world, yo~!” Ami-chan added.


 ”That’s right. While I build up the territory, I’m also gathering strength to protect Ami-chan from her pursuers,” I said, keeping my tone steady.


 That was the original contract, after all. Reika seemed to understand, piecing it together.


 ”I see… Those villains want Ami-chan’s power. They’d use it for their own gain, and if she refuses, they’d kill her. That’s why they sealed her away,” she summarized, her voice steady.


 ”Exactly. Those muscle-heads would think something like that, yo~,” Ami-chan said, dismissive.


 ”I get why they’re after you. If they became your contractor, they could create powerful Magic Girls and secure endless land. They wouldn’t let that go,” Reika said, thoughtful.


 Ami-chan had painted herself as a “fairy being hunted by dangerous pursuers” perfectly, without a single outright lie. If Reika knew about Ego Points or my specific skills, her impression might change, but there was no need to mention that yet. I just nodded solemnly.


 ”Luckily, they don’t know about the other world, yo~. We don’t want to cause trouble here, so we mostly live there,” Ami-chan said, her voice lowering.


 ”That’s right. But there are things only available in Japan, and we want the pursuers to think Ami-chan’s still here. That’s why we come back occasionally,” I added, matter-of-fact.


 ”So… you’ve given up your life in Japan, Shoichi,” Reika said, a hint of sadness in her voice.


 Ami-chan and I shared a silent understanding—the deeper details could wait until Reika became a Slave of Love.


 We moved on to explaining Magic Girl powers.


 ”So… the more I’m intimate with you, the more my Magic Power increases?” Reika asked, her eyes gleaming.


 ”Exactly! Especially since Celestite’s fuel efficiency isn’t great, yo~. No pregnancy worries, so you should probably train with me for a while!” Ami-chan said, encouraging.


 ”I understand. I want to help you both… and… I want to feel your warmth again, Shoichi,” Reika said, her voice soft and yearning.


 I felt a jolt of electricity. Reika leaned against me, and to anyone watching, we looked like a couple flirting in broad daylight. But she was just… so adorable. I wanted her—badly.


 Before I knew it, I was pulling her by the arm, leading her to the equipment room on the third floor. People rarely went there unless they needed something specific.


 As soon as we entered, I locked the door and kissed her—immediately, passionately. Our lips parted, tongues tangling. There wasn’t much time left in my break, but my job allowed some flexibility. A slight delay wouldn’t be a disaster.


 While kissing, I slid my hand under her skirt, squeezing her softly. I pressed my hardening arousal against her through my pants.


 This was dangerous. We were indoors, at my workplace. No guarantee of privacy. And yet, here I was, about to take her.


 ”…Mnn, n, hah…”


 We broke the kiss. A thread of saliva stretched between us, and Reika looked at me with heavy, melting eyes. The aphrodisiac effect was working perfectly.


 ”Hehe… do I… make you that excited…?” she asked, breathy.


 ”Yes… I can’t hold back anymore. I need you now,” I said, my voice hoarse with desire.


 ”Of course… if that’s what you want, Shoichi… anytime, anywhere…” she whispered.


 ”Reika…”


 In a surge of passion, I lifted her onto the table, pushing up her skirt and removing her pink underwear.


 ”………”


 Her feminine scent hit me. I spread her legs wide, seeing her already glistening petals.
