A Ride with Mrs. Shiba.

It was a fresh morning, and Yuuki was ready to head out for school. He had already texted Mai a bit so they could plan to meet up and walk to school together. He asked her if it was fine since he'd likely be walking with Ryota and Yasuda. While Mai wasn't really fond of the idea, as long as they were walking together, she agreed to it.

Yuuki switched off his smartphone and tucked it into his back pocket.

Then, he slapped on his black leather satchel bag and rushed down the stairs.

He found Sanda having breakfast that Akihiko had prepared.

"Oh, man of the house, what would you like to have this morning?!"

Akihiko smiled at his son, offering him a plate of eggs and bacon and a ceramic bowl of rice and egg sauce.

Yuuki smiled.

"Nothing, I'll just have some bread. I need to meet up with my friends."

He started walking in his socks toward the door.

Erosa's voice proudly spoke out.

"Dārin, surely, you haven't forgotten about me, have you?"

Yuuki looked back at Erosa and saw she was wearing a uniform.

Immediately, he raised an eyebrow at her.

"Eh?"

Akihiko waved his spatula in the air to grab Yuuki's attention.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you! I was able to raise some money to pay fees for Erosa so she can also go to school with you."

Yuuki furiously turned to his father, looking like a hot chili pepper.

"Why would you do that──?! You know we don't have that kind of money!"

Akihiko scratched his head. "B, b, but I thought you'd like the idea of going to school with your girlfriend?"

"Mhm!" Erosa nodded proudly. "You should learn to appreciate your father, Dārin."

"Stop calling me that!" Yuuki shouted at her.

Erosa gently placed a hand over her cherry-lips and giggled a little mischievously.

Sanda paused eating her bread and bacon. "Wait, Onee-chan is dating Onii-san?"

Yuuki sighed and said, "Whatever."

In a slow and sexy manner, Erosa crossed her legs, which were covered in thigh socks, and asked Yuuki, "So, how do I look, Dārin?" She folded her arms and opened her beautiful limpid blue eyes a bit wider for him to see her.

Yuuki looked at her, and his cheeks turned a tad red.

Hmm, it seems sleeping with Mai has increased my... feminine awareness.

Checking her out from head to toe, he found nothing he didn't like about her appearance.

She looked very sexually appealing, and somehow, her breasts seemed bigger than usual in this formal attire, like they were going to burst at any moment if she took one misplaced breath.

He'd been ogling her so long he forgot to reply.

Erosa then tilted her head a bit.

"So? What do you think?"

She asked him again, seemingly wanting to know what he thought of her Earth-customed manner of dressing.

It was as if she wanted to impress him or at least be congratulated by him.

Yuuki cleared his throat and started walking away. "It's not even the school's uniform..."

Erosa smiled mildly. "Uhh, y-yeah, I'll get that when I meet with the principal. For now, I'll wear this one I made."

Turning on her chair, Sanda smiled at Erosa.

"Onee-chan, I didn't know you were so good at making clothes."

Erosa placed a finger on her slightly puckered lips.

"Shh──it's a secret..."

Yuuki opened the door. "You, you look nice, Erosa."

The cupid didn't know why, but her cheeks immediately turned red the moment she heard him say this. She wasn't the type to get swayed by words, but it was her first time coming to the Human World, so hearing such words made her feel a little. . . appreciated.

When Yuuki stepped out of the house, to his delight, he saw Ryota and Yasuda waiting outside.

Yasuda was on her smartphone as usual.

Ryota had a cheerful grin on his face as he waved at Yuuki.

"Morning, bro!"

Yuuki couldn't stop smiling.

"You guys really came..."

He was short of words.

Ryota chuckled sharply. "Of course we did, we both know you don't have any other friends, hah!"

Yasuda just nodded, licking her lollipop while she played games on her phone.

"Well, everything worked out in the end, I guess!"

Yuuki smiled.

Out of nowhere, Ryota rushed and placed an arm over Yuuki's shoulder, yanking him to the side.

"Alright, tell me what's going on, Yuuki!"

"Eh?" Yuuki replied.

Getting a bit frustrated that maybe Yuuki was gatekeeping, Ryota shoved him a bit. "C'mon! Where have you been hiding her?!"

"Hiding what?"

Yuuki then looked back and saw Erosa standing next to Yasuda. She was only slightly taller than Yasuda, who was probably the shortest girl he'd seen at that age.

Erosa waved at both Ryota and Yuuki and said, "Oh, you must be Ryota. Yuuki told me so much about you! I'm his step-sister, Erosa Tanaka."

Sharply, Ryota panicked and immediately darted away with the speed of a rocket.

His mouth opened wide like a loudspeaker as he shouted. . .

"I CAN'T LET MY EUROPEAN BABY SEE ME LIKE THIS!"

He assumed Erosa was likely European as she looked nothing like Asian.

Erosa then held out a hand for the completely game-engaged Yasuda and proudly said, "So, would you like to shake my hand?"

Yasuda quietly turned away and said, "Germs."

Turning completely pale, Erosa weakly stood there, like a paper desperately waiting to get blown away by the wind.

"G, g, germs──??"

It was the first time anyone had ever told her that, and on first meeting.

Yuuki edged close to Erosa and whispered in her ear, "Eeeh, Yasuda doesn't really know how to talk to people when she's on her game... so, you know... don't take it to heart?"

"Well..." Erosa chuckled a bit. "It's fine, I just got a little surprised is all." But of course, her body was still shaking like she wanted to strangle someone until they were a dead body. "I, Erosa, illustrious as I am, would never let the words of an ordinary human get to me!"

She started taking haughty steps forward with her face a little squeezed.

Yuuki observed her as she left.

Yep, she's definitely offended.

...

They walked up the road.

"Yuuki?" Yasuda absentmindedly called out.

Adjusting his satchel, he replied, "Uh, yeah?"

"I thought you said Takahashi was joining us today?"

Yasuda continued to play her game uninterrupted.

"Not that I care about her, but it'd be tragic if your girlfriend already dumped you on day 3. That's lame even for a default template like you."

Yuuki scratched his head and chuckled nervously.

"Hah, ouch."

What else could he say to someone like Yasuda who was emotionally dense? She never really knew when her words were offensive.

Or, it was more like she doesn't think when she talks.

"Eeeeh, I'm sure we'll meet her as we're going," said Yuuki.

Yasuda nodded, uttering a dull,"Mhm..."

Erosa quietly walked beside Yuuki, and there were already a lot of men eyeing her. Naturally, with her beautiful body and elegant face that was extremely gorgeous, there's no one who wouldn't look at her at least three times.

"Looks like you'll be really popular at school..." Yuuki commented.

A proud yet small chuckle sounded from Erosa's mouth. "Do not fret, I'll try to remember you when I am."

Yuuki gave her a small side-eye and then sighed.

Just then, a black car stopped in front of Yuuki and his female friends.

It was a luxury black car that looked like it'd been polished over ten times. The glasses were tinted so they couldn't see who was inside. Even the people in the neighborhood were surprised to see such an expensive car in this area. It cost nothing less than ¥52,000,000.

"Woah, look at that black car!"

"Did a millionaire relocate here?"

"Millionaire? That's obviously a billionaire's car!"

"Woooooaahhhh..."

The only person not looking at the car was Yasuda.

Only getting proper signal for her game mattered.

A man stepped climbed out of the trunk of the car.

Why's he in the... trunk? Yuuki thought.

The man in black adjusted his shades and opened the car's door.

"Tanaka~~ ❤️"

It was Tomoe Shiba.

The one Yuuki had dubbed "masturbating woman".

She sat in the driver's seat, her long legs covered in a sexy, black panty hose were elegantly crossed, the hem of her skirt riding up just enough to reveal a hint of supple inner thigh. Her blue eyes, framed by dark lashes, sparkled with mischievous seduction as she leaned over and beckoned with a sultry smile. "Come on, sweetie, hop in~❤️" she purred, her voice low and inviting.

"Huh?" Yuuki said.

"I'd like to have a word with you, don't worry I'll let you ride me... I mean, I'll ride you to school."
