"Sir, this villa is the best we have here. It comes with top-notch luxury fittings, a beautiful outdoor environment, and is spacious enough to accommodate up to a hundred people."
"It also has a dining room, swimming pool, garden, and the training area you specifically requested. Are you satisfied?" The beautiful uniformed saleswoman, with her professional demeanor and a voice as melodious as a nightingale, introduced the villa to Sora.
Her face slightly flushed, the woman's heart raced as she looked at the handsome man with an extraordinary aura standing before her.
However, unlike the usual men who would drool at the sight of her, this man seemed completely indifferent. From the start, he had only been inspecting the villa's environment, paying no attention to her. For the first time, the woman began to doubt her own beauty.
While she felt a slight disappointment, she was more intrigued by the man. Though it was their first meeting, her intuition told her that this man was unlike any other she had ever met.
"Not bad, I'll take it," Sora nodded with satisfaction.
Since he had decided to train Miyamoto Rei and Takagi Saya, it wouldn't be a one or two-day affair. So, Sora decided to buy a villa nearby for convenience.
"How much is it? Please help me with the paperwork now," Sora asked with a smile, looking at the beautiful uniformed woman.
Though she was indeed stunning, a true beauty, Sora wasn't particularly attracted to her.
Whether it was his Sekireis, the holy knights, or even the little maids, they were all top-tier goddesses. If he still drooled over every beautiful woman he saw, he would have lived his life in vain.
"The total is 80 million yen. Would you like to pay by card or cash?" The uniformed woman, slightly flustered as Sora looked at her, quickly regained her composure and replied with a smile.
Though she was a bit nervous, she felt more delighted than anything.
"80 million… Well, I don't have a card, so I'll pay in cash," Sora said, somewhat amused that the money he had painstakingly withdrawn from dozens of ATMs would now be spent in one go.
But he didn't care much. He could always withdraw more later.
"Hey, what's that over there?" Sora suddenly pointed behind the woman, who was still waiting.
With a puzzled expression, the woman turned around, trying to see what Sora was pointing at.
However, no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find anything unusual. Eventually, she turned back, only to be stunned by what she saw.
Money, piles of money, stacked in front of her like a small mountain!
There had been nothing there just moments ago. From the time she turned around to when she turned back, only a few seconds had passed. How could so much money appear so quickly and silently? It was impossible!
The sexy red lips were parted in a perfect circle, and a pair of sparkling, wide eyes were filled with disbelief. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, the woman in uniform would never have believed it!
"Ahem… it should be around 80 million. You can count it."
Stepping out from behind the pile of money, Sora also felt a bit awkward. After all, it was impossible for him to carry so much money on his person, so he had stored it all inside the King's Sword.
The King's Sword had an internal storage space, though Sora wasn't entirely sure how big it was. In any case, he usually threw things he didn't often use in there—it was very convenient.
"Huh? Oh! Oh!"
Snapping out of her daze, the woman was also embarrassed, thinking about how her earlier expression had been seen by him. She felt utterly mortified.
It wasn't that she hadn't seen this much money before. As the most beautiful woman in the company, not only had she encountered wealthy clients, but even the big bosses who had repeatedly tried to sponsor her had offered more than this. She was just surprised by the sudden appearance of such a large sum.
Though she was filled with countless questions and wanted to ask the handsome man in front of her, she was smart enough to know that some things shouldn't be asked. Asking too much would not only make her seem foolish but could also potentially drag her into trouble.
Helplessly rubbing her forehead, she shot Sora a resentful glance. Counting all this money was going to be a nightmare.
Rubbing his nose, Sora also felt a bit embarrassed. He was, after all, a genuine undocumented person—no ID, no bank cards, nothing.
But there was no other way. He couldn't very well ask his customer to help him count the money, could he? If he did, Sora felt that with his own virtues, he might end up counting 80 million as 800 million.
Sitting down on a chair to wait, Sora found that watching a charming woman in uniform count money wasn't such a bad experience.
"Hey, beauty, what's your name?"
Resting his head on his hand, Sora asked with a sly smile as he admired the woman's alluring figure.
"Ugh… sir, don't interrupt me!"
Distracted by Sora's voice, the woman realized she had forgotten where she was in the count. Pouting, she glared at him, her already beautiful face now even more adorable.
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry. I was just bored and wanted someone to talk to. Go ahead, I won't disturb you this time."
Amused, Sora had initially thought she was a highly professional woman, but it turned out she was a bit of a scatterbrain. Still, he knew he was in the wrong earlier, so he held back his laughter and apologized.
"Hmph, you're not sincere at all! Fine, I'll tell you. My name is Konno Yumeri. Don't interrupt me again, okay?"
Though she seemed a bit annoyed on the surface, only Yumeri herself knew how happy she felt when he started talking to her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone from calling him "sir" to "little brother" in an instant.
She didn't call him that because of her age—she was only around 23 or 24, in the prime of her youth.
With her beautiful, alluring face, long, flowing black hair, and a mature, curvaceous body wrapped in a tight uniform skirt, paired with those incredibly seductive stocking-clad legs, she was nothing short of a stunning enchantress, in the golden years of her life.
But then, she had to run into Sora, this freak of a man. Despite being in his forties, he looked like he was in his late teens. If it weren't for his mature and profound aura, people might have mistaken him for a high schooler!
"Heh… Yumeri, huh? That's a nice name."
Looking at the charming woman, Sora's lips curled into a mysterious smile as if he had thought of something.
"Hey, you brat, what are you thinking with that mischievous look on your face?"
Talking to Sora didn't feel like dealing with those men who were always scheming to get her attention. Instead, it was relaxed, even intimate. Yumeri herself didn't notice that her tone with him had become quite casual.
This kind of unguarded conversation was completely against her professional demeanor.
"What am I thinking? Well, Miss Yumeri, you—"
His smile widened as he deliberately dragged out his words, then said something that nearly made her faint:
"You like me, don't you?"
You like me… you like me… you like me…
The words echoed in her mind, and her alluring face turned bright red. Her years of professional composure couldn't hold back the pounding of her heart, and her ample chest heaved as if it might burst out at any moment!
If it had been any other man, she would have responded with a cold, disdainful laugh to his arrogant self-love. But facing this man who seemed even younger than her, she felt a panic as if her secret had been exposed!
"Does he think I'm shameless?"
A strange thought suddenly crossed Konno Yumeri's mind.
"What are you talking about? I… I…"
Utterly flustered, Yumeri wished she could just disappear into the ground. Especially with the way Sora was staring at her, it felt like she was under some kind of immobilizing spell.
Standing up, Sora walked over to Yumeri, still wearing that same sly smile, and lifted her chin.
"You're quite pretty, and smart too. Though your body is a bit delicate and your aura could use some work, it's not a big deal. I have plenty of ways to train you."
"Hey, Yumeri-chan, don't say I'm being domineering. I'll give you a choice: do you want to be my woman?"
"Think carefully, because this is a decision that will determine your fate. And once you agree, your body, your soul, everything about you will belong to me—forever."
Such domineering words, such intense possessiveness—normally, Konno Yumeri would have slapped him without hesitation!
But now, her heart was pounding violently, as if her very soul was trembling. Deep down, she had a feeling that this really was a choice that would determine her fate.
And not just for this lifetime, but for eternity.
"I… I'll be your woman!"
This was the answer her strong intuition gave her. Yumeri had never felt such a powerful conviction before.
So, even if it was a mistake, she wouldn't regret it!
"Congratulations, you've been freed from an endless hell."
"Let's form a contract. From this moment on, everything about you will be mine."
With a smile, Sora leaned in and kissed her luscious red lips.
The moment their lips met, before she could even savor the sweetness of her first kiss, a flood of information rushed into her mind. Yumeri felt as if she was in a daze, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.
When she finally processed the information in her head, Yumeri was stunned, unable to speak for a long time.
At the same time, she knew that her choice had taken her from hell straight into heaven…
"Master!"
Kneeling on one knee, Konno Yumeri bowed respectfully to Sora. Now, she wouldn't dare call this man "little brother" anymore!
"Well… it's been a few days since I've had any meat. You'll have to help me cool down, and you'd better give it your all…"
Whispering in Yumeri's ear, Sora picked up her delicate body and carried her toward the rooms in the villa…
